I had a lovely dog when I was a kid and he ended up developing bone spurs in his spine. I guess it's something that can happen with age, with humans and with dogs.
Unfortunately, he was a stoic old thing and we didn't realize what the problem was until the bones had compressed the nerves around his bladder, so that we had to have him put to sleep. We were very sad about it.
I guess the moral here is, if you are having problems with more aches and pains in your bones than usual, go and get them checked out! There's no shame in taking steps to ensure you live a long and healthy life.

Loved my Invitations
Vintage Applique Foldover Pockets I loved the invitations (in color combo of carnation and Ivory) once I received the final product in the mail and I must say the pearl paper complimented the design perfectly. I'm very excited to mail out the invites and I know that everyone is going to think they are beautiful! My only wish is that the design center was a little bit easier to navigate (maybe it is just me being computer illiterate!) so that I could make changes and tweak the text and sizing on my own without having to go through the proofing process several times. However, the designers who work on the personalization and proofing of your invitations are SO helpful, that I feel like I shouldn't complain! Thank you Magnet street!
Vintage Applique Foldover Pockets Sooo easy to design. And fun! I'm in love with this Web site!

Perfect invites
Vintage Applique Foldover Pockets Ordering from Magnet Street was easy and making my invitations unique was great. They make it simple to choose your own color, font, and wording. My proofs were sent and they even responded quickly to my changes. Only small problem was not receiving they correct quantity of an item. I called customer service though and was quickly sent the others I did not receive. However, it would have been nice to have been offered a discount on my next purchase since it was a small inconvenience and since I planned on purchasing my programs and thank yous from them.

Zilker Homes For Sale
The Zilker Neighborhood is bounded by Zilker Park, Robert E Lee Drive and Barton Skyway to the west and Lamar to the east. The northern boundary is Barton Springs Drive and the southern boundary is roughly La Casa street. The Zilker neighborhood is truly a microcosm of Austin history and culture.
The Zilker neighborhood has, in its time, been home to Tonkawa and Lipan Apache Indians, descendants of slaves, farmers, artists, politicians and musicians. The Zilker neighborhood combines people of all ages, races and classes. There you can find the blue-ribbon Zilker elementary school and the Barton Hills Assisted Living facility.
While Zilker has its contingent of young families and older residents, its primary population is probably best described as affluent bohemians. The Zilker neighborhood's proximity to coffee houses, bars and local eateries on Barton Springs and Lamar, ACL and music events in Zilker Park and Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail has made the neighborhood especially attractive to 30 and 40-somethings. Lamar Plaza to the east is a shopping area as "assorted" as the neighborhood including a new-age bookstore, an old-school beauty salon, a fabric store, movie house, bowling alley and cocktail bar.
Area school children attend the exemplary Zilker Elementary on Bluebonnet Lane; junior high follows at academically "acceptable" O. Henry Middle School and "recognized" Austin High School , located across the Lady Bird Lake. There is an active Neighborhood Association, an annual 4th of July Parade and a small dogs-off-leash park located at Little Zilker Park on Bluebonnet lane. This year will see the 10th annual Zilker Backyard Concert , a fundraiser for Zilker elementary which has featured local residents such as Alejandro Escovedo, Marsha Ball and Jimmy La Fave.
Zilker Park and Barton Springs define the laid-back mood of the neighborhood. In the 1830's "Uncle Billy" Barton built a cabin at Spring Creek as it was called . Over time, and after a few scalpings by the displaced Native American residents, Barton Springs became the beloved public swimming and recreation site that it is today. In the mid- 1800's, The Rabb family bought much of the land around the springs which hosted flour and saw mills, a quarry and a confederate soldier encampment during the civil war.
The Rabb family sold some of the land to Andrew Jackson Zilker who continued to improve the area, adding an ice house, bath house and pastures for his horses. In 1918 Zilker deeded the springs and surrounding thirty-five acres to the city. Zilker neighborhood architecture is reflective of this eclectic mix of by-gone days. Depression era homes from the 1930's stand next to three-story, city houses designed by green, Austin builders .
The grandest Zilker home, at 1610 Virginia Avenue, is the "Old Kinney farm home" built in 1875. Cater Joseph, purchased the house from Gerard Kinney 50 years ago. Mid-century modern homes, by local, renegade builder A.D. Stenger, dot the western side of the neighborhood with his distinctive, rock and glass, angular dwellings. Streets in the neighborhood reflect the families that once lived there. Rabb road ran through the large Rabb Ranch. Goodrich and Wright streets are both named for original homesteaders. Arthur lane, on the bluff to the west of the neighborhood, is named after A.D. Stenger's son.
Well known artists Charles and Ageline Umlauf bought and remodeled their Zilker home in 1941. In 1985, the Umlaufs donated their home, studio, and 168 Umlauf sculptures to the City of Austin. This 2.5 acre area is now known as the Umlauff Sculpture Garden and is located in the northwest corner of the neighborhood. Much of the southwestern side of the Zilker neighborhood (Barton heights) was an early African-American settlement.
The Barton Springs Baptist Church Cemetery is one of the first African-American cemeteries in Central Texas. It began in 1866 and some of the people buried there were born before 1840. In the 1940s, the original wooden building burned and was replaced by the cinder block one that stands today. The site was zoned historic by the City of Austin in 1993 (text from the historic marker). Some Zilker homes have downtown or park views. Lost Canyon is just east of Kinney Avenue. The canyon adds to the rural, peaceful , feeling of the neighborhood, although vagrants sometimes wander the canyon as do other wild creatures such as racoon, deer and possum.

Expand all - Collapse all Review of Edmund Meinerts, submitted at 2010-02-07 19:46:30, score: 6/10 Titanic. By God, how do I begin? No film score has ever had this much of an impact on the mainstream. Neither the massive John Williams classics like A New Hope or Raiders of the Lost Ark, nor the Hans Zimmer smash hits like Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl or The Dark Knight have even come close to selling as many units as Titanic has. And yes, the two major reasons for this are James Cameron's uber-popular film (grossing nearly two billion dollars, a feat repeated only recently by the all-pervading Avatar ) and Cčline Dion's uber-popular, Oscar-winning song, 'My Heart Will Go On'. But it was composer James Horner who collected the statuettes and bucks for this album, and many bucks they were. Enough to give Horner financial security for himself (and his children too, most likely). Certainly enough to elevate him to the very highest echelons of the film music world, giving him leave to both to call upon renowned soloists for future scores (such as singer Charlotte Church for A Beautiful Mind or violinist Joshua Bell for Iris) and get away with a LOT of self-referencing bordering on laziness (Bicentennial Man, Deep Impact, Enemy at the Gates, A Beautiful Mind, Troy).So Horner and Cameron got filthy rich, and millions of weepy-eyed, Leo DiCaprio-loving teenage girls were left to weep over the supposed masterpiece that is Horner's original score to Titanic. The trouble is...this music simply isn't all that good. Neither is it all that original. It is a solid, New Age romance-drama score with more than a hint of action thrown in for good measure. But Oscar material? The film floated (haha) the score's win, for sure.The score starts off with 'Never an Absolution', and it starts out awfully. I mean, no offense meant towards Ireland, but Horner's beloved Uillean pipe has to be one of the most irritating instruments out there. It's nasal, it's penetrating and here, it's mixed so close to the forefront that I had to turn the volume down. Thankfully, the thing stops its caterwauling after a minute or so, moving into more tranquil, melancholic music led by the doubly soothing tones of Norwegian vocalist Sissel Kyrkjebř and a horn, accompanied by deep, resounding plucked tones. It's pleasant, harmonic stuff that should make Horner fans happy, but I can't help checking the front of the CD case to check and see whether I had accidentally bought Braveheart 2 rather than Titanic.So - themes! I've got to admit, Horner has composed quite a few here, and he uses them in intelligent ways. While I was wincing and covering my ears, the Uillean pipe in 'Never an Absolution' was actually performing part of one of the film's two major identities, the theme for the doomed ship itself. The far more pleasant Sissel material, of course, was rendering the all-pervading love theme, and I have to admit that in itself this is one of the best themes Horner's ever composed. If it was given the same lush, romantic, John Barry-esque treatment that his material for Legends of the Fall received, it would stand as one of my absolute favorite Horner themes. But Cameron specifically didn't want a lush, romantic period score. He wanted a New Age effort that he felt would more effectively touch his target audience of hopelessly sappy teenage girls. Horner gave him just that, and the results were spectacularly successful. But I just don't like it one bit. Though I do have to admire the very subtle, difficult-to-notice doubling of the chorus of 'My Heart Will Go On' over the top of the main melody by some sort of distant echoing synth choir (more on that later...)The second cue introduces a tingling, partially synthetic motif that represents the elder incarnation of the Rose (Kate Winslet) character. It's a pleasant, rambling idea that was extended in Horner's The New World eight years later. But otherwise it's a bit of a throwaway track. A bump on the road on the way to...'Southampton'. Really, Horner? The highest grossing film of ALL TIME (until Avatar, and that only grossed more because of the extra bucks people were shelling for the 3D gimmick), and you couldn't afford a REAL CHOIR??? Seriously! My dated Yamaha keyboard from the early 90s produces more convincing 'Choir Aahs' than Horner's chorus in this awful, sickly-sweet third track! Not to mention the fact that Horner rips off his own electronic pulsing effect from Apollo 13, AND pretty much directly lifts Enya's Book of Days to boot for the first part of the aforementioned ship's theme. This track represents everything, no EVERYTHING that is wrong about James Horner. Irritating orchestrations and plagiarism issues. Skip this annoying bump in the road......and go to 'Rose'. This is one of those tracks that will have the teenagers weeping. It's basically a drum- and Cčline-Dion-less version of 'My Heart Will Go On', a souped-up piece of New Age schmaltz that shamelessly tugs at every single heartstring Horner manages to grasp. He doesn't exactly manage to grasp mine - that bleep! synth choir and electronics are still there, albeit thankfully toned down a bit to let the much more graceful tones of Sissel and an admittedly beautiful flute solo take the forefront to perform the, yes, admittedly beautiful love theme....OH, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, JAMES!!! I...look, if you, like me, hated 'Southampton', don't even bother listening to 'Leaving Port' or 'Take Her to Sea, Mr. Murdoch'. Both are practically IDENTICAL in construct and, unfortunately, orchestration. Synths and fake choirs. There's even some attempt to fake low, male choral chanting in 'Leaving Port.' Was Horner going for a The Lion King effect? If so, he failed on an epic scale. It just doesn't work. Skip this pale Enya imitation......and dive (more bad sinking jokes) into to the score's second act. 'Hard to Starboard', despite an inauspicious beginning that sounds just like 'Rose', soon moves into action territory after a minute or so, with a tapping piano-wire noise that, though Horner has used it before, works well to create a nervous atmosphere. There's a lesser motif consisting of two brass chords - representing danger and death - that works equally well, despite it coming from Braveheart (AARGH, Horner...). Action music has never been one of Horner's strong fields in my opinion, but this material is actually decently exciting, if a bit unstructured. It's closest cousing would be the Apollo 13 action. But wouldn't it be nice, just once, for me to write a paragraph about Horner's music that didn't end in me pointing out a bit of music that references an earlier work? In this case, there's a suspenseful, timpani-pounding bass motif straight out of Jerry Goldsmith's Capricorn One at about 3:05. Oh, while we're at it, there's a little repeating trumpet call towards the end of this cue that originates from Horner's own Jumanji.I mean...COME ON, FOLKS!!! This isn't even one of Horner's more blatant scores, and STILL there's just so much self- and other-people-referencing to point out.Let's go on to 'Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave', which might just be my favorite cue, though considering how much I dislike this score that's a case of damning with faint praise. It provides the most dramatic statement of the love theme at 1:38, complete with echoing Chariots of Fire-type synth percussion. The little segment of action music that follows is also a pleasant surprise, being much less random and flailing than Horner's usual fare.The next pair of action cues ('The Sinking' and 'Death of Titanic') deal with the disastrous sinking of the ship. Having, of course, seen the movie (who hasn't?), I can't honestly remember a huge amount of music beneath these scenes, but on the album Horner provides over thirteen minutes of orchestral mayhem into which he rather intelligently integrates the synth choir, battling with the orchestra in duelling segments. Sometimes, the love theme makes an appearance, but is usually cleverly twisted into dissonance by Horner to foreshadow the tragic end this romance is fated to have. Unfortunately, a theme sounding SUSPICIOUSLY like John Williams' Schindler's List enters at 6:15 into 'Death of Titanic' (a theme Horner had already ripped off for Apollo 13 and would again for Enemy at the Gates) By the end of the 'Death of Titanic' cue, though, the synth choir has evolved into a brilliant musical representation of the thousand-plus victims of the Titanic sinking - a multitude of voices crying out in fear and pain, twisted together with the music to provide one last massive, dissonant crescendo before the ship sinks......into the murk of the album's final act. The cue 'A Promise Kept' is a numbingly downbeat, funereal cue that might just drive you over the edge if you're hedging suicidal thoughts...It's depressing to the max, with aching little hints of Sissel's voice and the love theme never breaking free of the weighty sadness - the closest it comes is 3:40. And it's, well, beautiful. At the end, there's a little swelling-up of strings as Rose is rescued from the icy sea (leaving poor Leo DiCaprio to his blue and watery death...sniff).'A Life So Changed' is basically a recap of 'Never an Absolution', minus the Uillean pipe (thank God!). After the powerfully sad previous cue, hearing the gentle love theme in full is a real treat. 'An Ocean of Memories' is a lovely extended version of the CD's second track ('Distant Memories') and therefore renders the first one a bit useless. It rambles a little, but that's one of the more pleasant features of Horner's music - it's more of a stream of consciousness than a structured, 'limited' piece of music, and features some nice solos for trumpet among others.And then, after the treacly Cčline Dion ballad (with truly despicable, saccharine lyrics by Horner's usual collaborator Will Jennings), we get 'Hymn to the Sea', a bit of an unnecessary piece that does little but recapitulate material from 'A Life So Changed' and 'Distant Memories' (with the Uillean pipe...).So, let's sum up. I'd like to first of all state that I'm not just giving this score such a curmudgeonly rating because I'm trying to be 'different' from the rest of the world. James Horner and James Cameron probably knew when they made the decisions about this score that it would be polarizing. They took a huge gamble by not creating a sweeping, romantic score, and instead choosing an atypical New Age approach that, by rights, shouldn't work in a movie set a century ago. But this score works absolute wonders in the film - even I have to admit it. The score takes otherwise merely solid acting from DiCaprio and Winslet and transforms their onscreen romance into a powerhouse of emotion.Unfortunately, this score simply doesn't work well on album - not in its first act, anyway, which is where the most treacly synth-choral New Age music is presented. The action music is entertaining by Horner's rather low standards, and there are plenty of absolutely beautiful standalone moments, especially in the score's third act, mostly courtesy of Horner's great love theme and Sissel's beautiful vocals. But this material isn't any better than what Horner's already given us - with orchestrations that are actually bearable - in Glory, Legends of the Fall or Braveheart, and here (unlike in those scores, with the possible exception of the bad action cues in Braveheart ) there are plenty of awful cues to sift through in order to reach the good stuff. The only bits you really need, in my most humbly cynical opinion, are the six cues between 'Hard to Starboard' and 'A Life So Changed'. Of course, if you are one of those billion or so fangirls in love with the film, or DiCaprio, you'll want every last manipulative tear-jerking minute of it.All in all, this score is HIGHLY overrated. If you buy it with high expectations (as I did - it was my first Horner score and soured me towards the man for a long, long time), you may be disappointed. And let's face it, enough people have bought this commercial juggernaut anyway without you contributing your two cents as well. Read other recent reviews by Edmund Meinerts: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, Johnny English Reborn Review of Tom Daish, submitted at 2010-09-26 19:57:39, score: 8/10 Yeah, excellent, it has finally been released. I have been waiting for this score, well, since forever I think. Was it worth the wait? Well, yeah, it probably was really. It is not quite what I was expecting, at least in places. The leaving port music isn't the majestic music I had imagined, but the alternative that Horner has composed is certainly very good, although rather reminiscent of one Irish, female artist. The Celtic flavour is introduced right at the start with a solo pipes rendition of one of the main themes which then moves into an orchestral rendering. Starting with Southampton, the choral/Enya type thing is started as everyone boards the boat. The theme is driving and upbeat, although I would have expected some hint of something bad being going to happen, although in Rose, the love theme is introduced and it too has the Celtic lilt to it with a kind of romantic sadness and wistfulness that is absolutely perfect. I felt the key change during the love theme is very inventive and it seems to be doing something different to what it actually is, but without actually sounding wrong. Leaving Port starts with what sounds like an ethnic, metallic sounding, guitar-type instruments being plucked very rhythmically that sounds kind of like Morse Code, if that is what it is meant to be, what a clever idea! The choral, ship theme crops up again with delicate synths and the occasional orchestral moments, although these tend to recall Legends of the Fall to some extent, but the feeling is just right and balances the very upbeat choral theme superbly. I would have liked the choral theme to be re-orchestrated sometimes as the synth/choral thing is perhaps excessive, although Horner manages to put it through just about enough different styles to keep it fresh.The second third of the album is mostly exciting, loud and well composed action music. Many have commented that it is like Courage Under Fire, but since I've not heard that, to my mind most of the music is quite new to the Horner canon, which, although a few trademark ideas crop up. The crashing pianos from Apollo 13, among others, makes a welcome appearance a few times. I always thought that was a fantastic invention, it is so wild sounding, but always controlled within the music itself. The rumbling, growling piano figure also appears several times, yet another idea I like. Much of the action is more Goldsmith-inspired than anything else, but it never actually sounds like something Goldsmith has written. One small calm moment occurs in Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave where the love theme appears in a quite beautiful version as the two lovers must abandon their sinking vessel. Of course, it doesn't stay quiet for long and the pulsing action music with dissonant brass chords as well as the twanging Morse-code motif. Another impressive moment of this track is when a huge glissando moves up through the entire orchestra, as though something huge (the sea I guess) swallows up the ship, this produces an incredible effect. The track ends with an almost Michael Nyman like piano figure which is unbelievably haunting and it's a shame that it doesn't appear again. The rest of the action music is more of a continuation and perhaps begins to outstay its welcome, although it never becomes unbearably untuneful and the Legends of the Fall style theme crops up several times along with the love theme to add some humanity to the disaster that is going on.The final third after the Death of Titanic is more downbeat and sombre and forms an extended elegy to the lives lost. After the happiness of the first section, the horror of the second section, this part almost seems anticlimactic, which I suppose is what it is supposed to be. The song version of the love theme is excellent indeed and well sung by Dion in a rather restrained performance and containing a lovely backing by the orchestra and pipes. It would be nice for Horner to write some more songs as his good ones are superb and this is certainly one of his best. The Hymn to the Sea is a continuation of the same kind of music as heard before the song and forms a sombre climax to an epic score.I wouldn't say this the best Horner score ever, but it is probably the only long Horner score which maintains the interest all the way through, the others such as Willow and Legends of the Fall all have their slower moments. Although this does have its slower moments, I never get tired of hearing it. Another score to recommend. Read other recent reviews by Tom Daish: The Snow Files: The Film Music of Mark Snow, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Andromeda Review of Andreas Lindahl, submitted at 2008-01-20 21:25:40, score: 10/10 This has to be one of the most eagerly awaited scores in a very long time. Many have hopes that Titanic will be Horner's return to his "former" greatness. In the last years it seams like he's had problems coming up with something unique and new. He has often been blamed for stealing, and reusing, stuff from his earlier works. Titanic has certainly been worth the wait, because James Horner's music for James Cameron's Titanic is fantastic. Horner has really succeded in capturing the sad and tragic in the story about Jack and Rose and the ships grandeur, and this is done without big orchestral "Hollywood music", you know, big orchestra, lush, sweeping strings, and brass. Instead Horner uses a lot of synths, combined with the instruments of the traditional orchestra. And believe it or not, but it sounds really terrific. In addition to this Horner uses the voice of Sissel Kjyrkjeboe, a Norwegian singer, as an instrument, to create a very haunting and beautiful sound. The soundtrack opens with the uilleann pipes, letting us no that "Hey, Horner is back!", whereupon one of the themes is performed by Sissel and french horn in unison. This is the first theme we hear in the movie, and it puts us in the right mood. Track number three is full of synths. Many people think that "Southampton" is very reminiscent of Enya, especially her song "Book of Days". (Cameron listened to Enya when he wrote the script, and he wanted Enya to sing on the soundtrack, but she wouldn't and instead Sissel was hired.) This really is a magnificent piece of music. When listening to this track one really feels how big, new and luxurious the ship is, and the peoples expectations and wonder. Track #4 is one of the most beautiful themes I have ever heard, escpecially when it's performed by Sissel. Horner used the same theme when he wrote "My Heart Will Go On". This track is played in the movie when Jack and Rose are standing in the bow of the ship. Listen to the harp in the background (when we in the film flies over the ship). Wonderful music! "Take Her to Sea, Mr Murdoch" is a great track. It's played in the film when the Captain orders full speed ahead, after leaving the port. This is filmmusic as its best. One can really hear the propellers spinning faster and faster. Track number 7 opens very quietly and romantic, when Jack and Rose is standing on deck in the middle of the night, but then the iceberg shows up, and all their dreams and hopes are shattered. This is actionmusik that rocks! Very powerful chords and different themes pops up. Especially in track 10 I think one really can feel the fear and horror when the ship goes down. These tracks should be played loud, to have the right effect. Number 8 is one of the sadest songs on the whole album. The title, "Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave", says it all, I think. It's played when Rose takes place in the lifeboat, with Jack standing at rail of the sinking ship. When Cal starts shooting at the couple, the music gets more active. Action again. "A Promise Kept" is played when Jack and Rose are lying in the water, after the ship's gone down, and Rose discovers that Jack is dead. I don't think I have ever heard sadder, more despair music. It's very beautiful. "A Life so Changed" is played when the old Rose is standing at the rail, dropping the necklace into the water. I really don't know if track #13 was used in the movie. (At first the movie was much, much longer, and when they shortened it, there was much music that got lost. 6:49 and on is the best of the whole soundtrack, if you'ld ask me. It's counterpoint; the strings play one melody and Sissel sings another one. "My Heart Will Go On" is actually very good. I'm not a big Celine Dion fan, but I think she does a great job with this song. I have the feeling it is going to be a major hit. The last track is very good, with Sissels voice, but then the Uilleann Pipes takes over the entire stage. And, if I should be honest, I am really growing tired of hearing Horner's Uilleann Pipes. This track wasn't used at all in the movie, except the very end, that ended the end credits. As I have already said, Titanic is a wonderful score. James Horner is well worth the two Golden Globes and his Oscars. Horner is back!

Just a couple of days after releasing the great new song Dull Tool, Fiona Apple has come out with the unfortunate news that she had to cancel her upcoming tour in South America. The reason for doing so might be a bit unusual, and can come off as quite confusing, even unreasonable for several people. The shows were called off because Ms. Apple's dog, Janet has a tumor, and wants to spend time with the animal during what could be its last days.
Fiona Apple posted a lengthy letter to her Facebook page earlier today explaining the situation. While it's too long to actually quote entirely here, the following extracts sum up the singer's situation:
"I have a dog Janet, and she's been ill for almost two years now, as a tumor has been idling in her chest, growing ever so slowly. […] Janet has been the most consistent relationship of my adult life, and that is just a fact. […] I can't come to South America. Not now. When I got back from the last leg of the US tour, there was a big, big difference. […] I just can't leave her now, please understand. If I go away again, I'm afraid she'll die and I won't have the honor of singing her to sleep, of escorting her out. […] So I am staying home, and I am listening to her snore and wheeze, and reveling in the swampiest, most awful breath that ever emanated from an angel. And I am asking for your blessing."
The singer's letter will undoubtedly cause less than sympathetic reactions from fans who can't relate to her present situation. However, regardless of being a "dog person" or not, and even for those who've never lost a pet, it's hard to pass judgement on Ms. Apple in the current scenario. She's released a tremendous record this year, then toured the hell out of it. If she's allowing herself the luxury of spending time with her dog in what may be its final days, it's likely because she can afford to, and the move will only impact less than half a dozen concerts. Furthermore, Fiona implied that the decision to stay home with her dog shouldn't be seen as a full cancellation of her South American dates, by asking the fans to "change our plans and meet a little while later," concluding the letter with "I'll be seeing you."

Obama Tax and Spending Plan
Under Obama's tax and spending plans, it looks as if we will be working under a 66/3 situation in which 3% of the households will be paying 66% of the Federal Income Tax while 66% of the households will be paying 3% of the Federal Income Tax. Does this not concern your guests? Does this not portend future divisiveness between rich and poor, urban and non-urban, white and non-white?

How to Toast Sesame Seed
Toasted sesame seed can be used in many recipes or just as a delicious sprinkling to add flavour to foods. It's simple to make and best freshly made.
- Sesame seed (as much as wanted)
1Add the sesame seed to a non-stick, cast iron, or heavy duty frying pan.
- Heat gently to a low to medium heat.
Ad -
2Keep stirring continuously until the sesame seed turns brown. They will glisten and start to pop when they're ready.
3Remove and cool on a metal cookie sheet. This will allow them to cool down faster than any other surface.
4Season if wished. Sugar, salt, pepper, etc. are suitable seasonings.
- Grind in a food processor or liquidiser if you want a sprinkle rather than whole seeds. This step is optional but it's useful to grind some seeds and keep others whole, and use both for different dishes.
5Store the toasted sesame seed in an airtight container.
6Use. This can be used in many ways, including the following:
- Sprinkled over cooked rice.
- Sprinkled on bread, with an accompanying spread such as peanut butter or Marmite.
- Sprinkled over a salad.
We could really use your help!
shoulder holsters?
summer squash?
- Avoid turning up the heat too high, or the seeds will burn rather than toast.
Things You'll Need
- Frying pan
- Airtight container
- Funnel (optional, to assist leveraging into the container)

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe (@JaffeMatt) reports:
In the build-up to last November's mid-term elections, some political analysts wondered if a divided Congress would prove to be a recipe for gridlock.
They were right. Five months into the 112th Congress, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have accomplished… well, nothing much at all. In fact, they have struggled just to do their most basic job: keep the government running.
To date Republicans in charge of the House have passed Rep. Paul Ryan's controversial budget resolution and a slew of other GOP-backed measures that stand absolutely no chance of success in the Democrat-controlled Senate. In the upper chamber of Congress, meanwhile, Democrats have settled on an equally unproductive strategy: don't bother to pass anything at all.
Ultimately, this Congress may have less to do with accomplishing anything good and a lot more to do with preventing anything bad. In April, a contentious fight over federal funding was only resolved hours before the government was due to shut down.
Take the ongoing battle over raising the country's debt ceiling. Months ago, the Obama administration asked Congress to raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit to prevent a default that economists warn could trigger devastating consequences. Whenever an increase to the limit was necessary in the past, Congress never failed to raise the debt ceiling.
Naturally, even as the nation last week finally hit its red-ink limit, this Congress has done… absolutely nothing.
Now the Treasury Department has started implementing "extraordinary measures" to buy Congress more time to strike a deal. Treasury should now be able to stretch out government funding until early August.
But since the debt ceiling fight "is going to be Armageddon," according to Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Tex., there's no guarantee that this do-nothing Congress will even act by then. One member of Congress – Rep. Devin Nunes, a Republican from California – even told Politico that defaulting on the debt "could benefit us to go through a period of crisis that forces politicians to make decisions" on budget policies.
Then three weeks ago Vice President Biden kicked off negotiations with a bipartisan group of lawmakers representing each of the four caucuses in Congress. But it said something about the partisan divide in Washington that after one of their meetings Biden remarked that the negotiators were "actually" making progress, as if was cause for surprise.
If it's any indication how difficult it could be for both parties to reach an agreement, consider the plight of a separate group of lawmakers that has been meeting for months in an effort to hatch a deficit reduction deal.
The Gang of Six – Democratic senators Dick Durbin, Kent Conrad and Mark Warner, and Republican senators Tom Coburn, Saxby Chambliss, and Mike Crapo – started working in January to reach a deal that could gain traction on Capitol Hill. For a while it sounded like the group was making progress. Just before the Congressional Easter recess, Durbin told ABC News that the group was "very very close," noting that if they waited too long to release a report, "we may not be players."
So what happened after recess? Naturally, talks stalled. Last week, it got even worse: Coburn left the gang altogether. So much for being "very very close."
For both sides of the aisle, reaching a deal that can secure bipartisan backing will be a tall order. Democrats don't want to touch entitlement programs. Republicans don't want to raise taxes. And if the past five months are any indication, doing anything at all will likely prove to be a significant challenge. The issue has not even taken center stage on the floor calendars of either chamber in recent weeks. Instead, lawmakers have opted to focus on political show votes.
Senate Democrats recently managed to chew up some time with a push to eliminate tax breaks for the oil and gas industry, an effort always destined to fail from the get-go since they needed at least seven Republicans to side with them to overcome the chamber's 60-vote filibuster threshold. But that didn't stop them from holding a high-profile hearing and bringing the issue to a vote. After all, if you can't actually do something that will make a difference, at least do something that will make headlines.
The gridlock got even worse last Thursday when – for the first time in President Obama's presidency – one of his judicial nominees was blocked by the Senate. The nomination of California-Berkeley law professor Goodwin Liu to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals went down to defeat at the hands of a GOP filibuster.
Now, in an election season tit-for-tat, Senate Democrats will force Republicans to vote on Ryan's House-passed GOP budget, while Senate Republicans in turn will force Democrats to vote on President Obama's budget proposal submitted in February. Neither measure will pass, but that's not the point: if Democrats are going to make vulnerable Republicans like Indiana's Dick Lugar and Maine's Olympia Snowe take a stand on Ryan's controversial proposal then Republicans will make vulnerable Democrats like West Virginia's Joe Manchin and Montana's Jon Tester vote on the President's proposal – the same proposal that both of them criticized only a few months ago for not doing enough to reduce the country's soaring deficits.
Meanwhile, other lawmakers have vociferously called for a full Senate debate on U.S. military involvement in Libya, but that campaign is now two months old. Somehow, for a Congress stuck in perpetual gridlock, it's somewhat fitting that lawmakers are still arguing about having a debate over whether to approve or reject a military effort that has been going on for months already. Welcome to the 112th Congress.

Hands-On With The A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna (Live Pics & Pricing)
One of the most interesting complicated watches to come out of SIHH 2014 is without a doubt the Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna from A. Lange & Söhne. It uses a regulator-style dial layout with the addition of a perpetual calendar, a 14-day power reserve, a constant force escapement, and a graphic orbital moonphase complication right on the plate of the movement. This is an absolute beast of a watch and here we have a ton of live photos and all the gritty details for you.

After saying a bittersweet goodbye to summer, I'm ready to embrace autumn and its warm sweaters, crunching leaves, and apple-cider donuts. Especially the donuts. And I am so pleased to share a new song by Joanie Leeds and the Nightlights that echoes my love for this season in a totally free download you'll want to grab.
Falling kicks off with a gentle ukulele lead, as if we're walking away from the beachy days of summer. But Joanie Leeds' crisp, clear voice and the lively addition of the rest of the band turn this pretty pop song into a celebration of autumn.
I especially love the chorus which sings, I'm fa-a-a-lling for autumn. It reminds me of how the leaves will soon be fluttering one-by-one off the trees. And of my kids dropping, one-by-one, into every pile they can find. -Christina
You can download a free copy of Falling from this bandcamp link.

BEST ACTIVITY TO DO WHILE INTOXICATED Miami 2003 - Sober up at Puerto Sagua
Your night out is over. You step out of the club's raging din and onto the sidewalk, where the relative silence is as shocking as a slap in the face. Head spinning, you realize you might not be up for the drive home just yet. Stumble over to Puerto Sagua for a no-frills Cuban meal in an atmosphere easygoing enough to enable a soft landing when you come back to earth. The restaurant -- a South Beach institution for more than 30 years -- stays open until 2:00 a.m., perfect for clubland's early exits, and it won't break the bank, assuming you have some bank left after those double-digit cocktails.

OKLAHOMA CITY - The Salvation Army of Ardmore, Oklahoma has deployed it's mobile canteen and disaster crew to a staging site in Southern Oklahoma where emergency responders are convening to fight numerous wildfires that have broke out this evening.
Captain Ernest Hull, Ardmore Corps Officer, while on the phone and reporting, states "We are in the middle of at least three or four wildfires. The wind is gusting and picking up in speed. As each gust comes, we can see very large flames take to the skies."
The canteen is currently providing hydration, in the form of Gatorade, Water, Coffee and other beverages, as well as providing snacks. It is anticipated it could be at an all night stand as the fires are not contained and continue to grow. The Army's response will continue until they are no longer needed.
Even today, Captain Hull and other staff members of the Ardmore Corps continue to help the victims of the Lone Grove tornado that took eight lives and destroyed 118 homes earlier this month.
Financial donations continue to be needed to support relief efforts in the area. The Salvation Army asks those who want to help the individual and families affected by the recent disasters to visit www.salvationarmyusa.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY and designate Lone Grove Tornado and/or wildfires. Monetary donations will ensure The Salvation Army can meet the most immediate needs of those impacted by the recent disasters.

Moncrief tailors his persona to fit the occasion, whether he's at Brown's Portofino condo or cruising the sidewalks of South Beach. Within weeks of obtaining the job at Doraku he'd enlisted volunteers from all strata of Beach life. "Lewis and I were standing in line at the bathroom at a club," says Lea Knowles, an event coordinator and vice president for Mother Nature's Kitchen. "He asked me what I was doing the next day. I said I was volunteering at Camillus House, and he said, 'No, no, I need your help.'" Knowles began working with Moncrief, collecting food from cooperating restaurants and distributing it to the homeless in Flamingo Park. "I think Lewis has the most confidence of anyone I've ever met," she offers. "Just going over there and feeding people myself has changed my personality. He's got an awesome vision. Now it's just a matter of raising money."
Lewis also signed up FIU student Tina Young. "We did a feeding in August at 73rd and Collins, and people just came out of the woodwork," Young says. "People are hungry out there, but the city puts up all this red tape, makes it hard to feed them. Lewis has the energy and determination to just go out and do it." Young became a mainstay of Moncrief's organization, helping with feedings but also acting as a chauffeur for the CEO rides and letting him use her cell phone.
Young and Knowles weren't the only people impressed by Moncrief's "awesome vision." Seghi, a 24-year-old Beach resident and aspiring stockbroker, was attracted to the ex-convict's inspiration for helping the needy. "I've been living in Miami Beach since I was a kid and I wanted to be a part of something real," Seghi says. "Miami Beach is such a superficial place. He's coming from someplace totally real. If this guy's doing that much work, what about a guy like me who's had everything? What should I be doing?"
Moncrief presented a reality Seghi had never seen, regaling him with tales about his past, conjuring up visions of a gangsta-rap fantasy come true. Between trips to Jim Brown's condo and pitching in at Mother Nature's Kitchen (Moncrief named him executive vice president), Seghi and Moncrief spent a lot of time together. "I can say that in the last eight or nine months, he's been my best friend," Seghi says. "I'm a popular guy, I have a lot of friends, but Lewis and I, even though we're from opposite worlds, we're much closer."
Rounding out the volunteers were two itinerant performance artists, Malik Shabazz and Tony Gee. Moncrief knew them from his time on the streets and finagled them a job doing landscaping work at his apartment building. "He helped me out, so I helped him out with his organization," says Shabazz, a spoken-word poet who emcees open-mike nights in Fort Lauderdale. Moncrief wasn't as enigmatic to Shabazz, a South Bronx native, as he may have been to Seghi or Young: "I know a little bit about the streets, where everybody has their own hustle. I had some questions about a lot of the assertions Lewis was making. I knew some of it was a hustle, but I decided to trust him. I mean, he talked a lot, but I also judged by his actions, and he was out there doing things, feeding people."
As Moncrief & Co. continued their Beach feedings in summer 2003, city hall began to take notice. "We got a report that this was going on and we were a little worried about health issues," says city spokeswoman Janet Lopez. "We tried to get him in touch with local organizations so maybe he could channel his efforts through them -- people like the Dade County Homeless Trust and Camillus House."
Moncrief was not impressed. "I'm trying to tell these people that we need a homeless shelter on the Beach and they think I'm crazy," he says with a laugh. "They keep getting their little money for their little organizations, but I don't see them out feeding people on the Beach. And it's not hard to do -- just ask some restaurants to donate some food and go give it to hungry people. They couldn't even do that."
Despite his success in mobilizing volunteers, things weren't moving quickly enough for Moncrief. He was scoping out Beach properties for a shelter, familiarizing himself with local zoning laws, and reading up on how to operate a nonprofit corporation, but he had little money. He and Seghi decided on a fundraiser, a musical performance and art auction that would raise tens of thousands of dollars and establish Mother Nature's Kitchen as a legitimate operation. Seghi would solicit willing artists (his father, Tom Seghi, is a well-known painter), and Moncrief, along with Tony Gee and Malik Shabazz, would round up musicians and performance artists.
As plans for the fundraiser intensified, Moncrief made two decisions: He quit his job at Doraku so he could channel his considerable energies toward Mother Nature's Kitchen, and he began living entirely on what he called "luck and friendship." He also decided that the Delano was the place for the fundraiser. It was a lofty goal; the hotel wanted $20,000 up front.

World Cup 2010: The Cream Is Rising
Categories: Sports
Photo by Ian Walton/Getty Images |
On the anniversary of the infamous Hand of God goal, Argentina was once again aided by divine intervention (or perhaps it was just the usual dreadful FIFA officiating) when Carlos Tevez headed in the first goal of the match against Mexico despite clearly being offside. After pretty much the entire Mexican team surrounded the linesman like they were about to steal his wallet and protested the noncall, the Argentines took advantage of the momentum and continued to bring the pain. Gonzalo Higuain took advantage of a half-assed pass by the Mexican defense and took possession of the ball, sticking into the back of the net for Argentina's second goal. Tevez added a third goal in the second half as Argentina went on to a 3-1 victory and then proceeded to take part in their usual postgame hug-and-kiss fest with coach Diego Maradona. Argentina moves on to the quarterfinals in a huge showdown against Germany, which was also helped by crappy FIFA refereeing. Here's to a great match unaffected by another ref blunder. Here's to hoping for too much.
Argentina and their huggy coach faces Germany and their gold-digging coach this Saturday at 10 a.m.
While the Argentines continue to show flair and flash and then hug and kiss each other after every goal they score, the Brazilians and their one-named players continue to show their world dominance with cutthroat efficiency. Unlike Brazilian teams of the recent past, this team seems to be all business. There aren't any characters or egos. It's a team that, like Argentina, has taken on its coach's personality. Dunga, who won a couple of World Cups with them as a player, is a no-nonsense blue-collar type and has a finely tuned goal-scoring, samba-inducing machine at his command. After taking down Chile 3-0 yesterday, Brazil heads to the quarterfinals in a showdown against the Clockwork Orange Netherlands. Should Brazil continue to dominate, don't expect to see too much celebrating by the players. This is a team on a mission, and the only celebrating you'll see from them is if they hoist the golden trophy in the end. The fans, on the other hand, know how to throw a party for just about anything. Kaka just got a yellow card? LET US SAMBA INTO THE STREETS!
Brazil takes on Netherlands this Friday at 10 a.m. Be sure to adjust your television color density accordingly.

Hamishwillee - Review/under construction
Hi Vinay
Firstly, thanks very much for taking the time to create this. I added some comments here about the scope and content.
What I have done is split this up a bit in line with what I am hoping will happen. Since we have a number of options, none of which are perfect I'd quite like an article which covers all the options. Ideally it would explain them, provide code fragment, and overview the advantages and disadvantages of each. Then it would have a code example showing them. At the moment everything is a placeholder.
If we can't do this, then we need to be more precise in the title to identify the specific approach used, and we should have real rather than pseudo code. So "Using network timer for system independent time" or similar.
In terms of the section that is complete, this looks like a combination of monitoring the elapsed time while app is running and comparing to network time to penalise them if they try mess with system time. Is that correct? If so, what is to stop them just disabling network time? What if you can't get network time?
I would also probably pull out the detail of password protection - ultimately we're most interested in the bits about "telling the time elapsed".
What do you think, can we be more precise in the other sections?
I know I've turned your semi complete article into a bit of a dogs breakfast, but I'm half way between where I'd like to be and where you were :-0
Hope it makes sense what I'm trying to do.
Thanks again!

Vinayppatil -
Hi Hamish,
I appriciate the changes you made. Article looks neat now. And regarding the implementation, i think there is some confusion. We are not relying completely on network time. We have three things to calculate elapsed time : system time, network time and periodic agents. But we can not rely on any one of these completely. Hence the pseudo code takes advantage of all of them to calculate the elapsed time more precisely. And yes we need to mention the tradeoffs with the approach. I will do that. Currently i can't think of a rock solid solution which will work every time with 100% accuaracy but we can use whatever is available to get best out of it. Let me know if we can improve this approach. And i will try to come up with a sample code in coming few days.
Also if you can think of a nice title you may do so. Even i am not too happy with this title.

Hamishwillee - Suggest we do as above
Hi Vinay
Still didn't get to this properly, hopefully soon.
>Let me know if we can improve this approach.
I don't know if we can improve the approach for the "overall" method you've got here. However as I suggested previously we can improve the structure of the article. If we break it into bits "ie using Network time" then we can explain the pro's and cons of just that approach, and show just how to check that (in real, not pseudo code). Ditto for other approaches.
When we have done that we can explain our "best" solution which attempts to overcome the tradeoffs - this is what you've jumped to.
Doing it this way means that someone else can come along and see the logic of what you're doing, and decide whether they want to handle the tradeoffs differently.

Vinayppatil - Code for Period task and Timer approach
Hi Hamish,
Found this buried in some corner. :P Maybe we can finish it. I added code for Period task and Timer approach. Have a look and let me know your views.

BuildNokia - I think this is good to go.
Hi Vinay,
I had a look at this article and I think it's great. If you're comfortable doing so, I'd suggest we remove the "Draft" mode and publish it so others can use it.

Don't pour the Thanksgiving dinner grease down the drain. You can recycle that stuff because it can be turned into biofuel. It also helps with helping reduce incidences of sewer blockages created by grease coagulating in underground lines.
Its probably sad that I heard about this know. And here's another question could you use other greases.

Ever since Google announced plans to bring ultra-high-speed internet services to the metro area, Olathe residents have eagerly anticipated its availability in Olathe. The wait is over.
On Tuesday night, the City Council unanimously voted to approve an agreement with Google to deploy Google Fiber, an ultra-high-speed, fiber-to-the-home network.
"We are excited to work in partnership with Google to bring this next-generation fiber optic system to Olathe homes, schools and businesses," said Mayor Michael Copeland.
Google Fiber offers an internet connection speed 100 times faster than today's average broadband, paired with crystal clear high definition TV.
As in area cities, Google will build the Olathe Google Fiber network by demand, meaning that determined "fiberhoods" will get Google Fiber service once pre-registration goals are met.
"Olathe residents have embraced innovation and technology like few others, said Copeland. "Our vibrant community spirit is truly second to none and I'm pleased Google recognized this in choosing Olathe as the largest Johnson County city in which to invest thus far."
Copeland noted that Olathe has always been a tech-savvy community and the Google partnership creates new possibilities for the future. "Technology has influenced the way we live and work in Olathe," he said. "Tonight's announcement is about our future and the endless possibilities for Olathe students, businesses and entrepreneurs who will no doubt leverage this technology and connectivity to achieve things that are truly innovative and transformational."

Stances of Faiths on LGBT Issues: Unitarian Universalist Association
The Unitarian Universalist Association has supported full equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people since 1970 — and today markets itself to the LGBT community as an inclusive religious organization.
Openly LGBT people are welcomed as members and may hold any church office. The UUA supports marriage rights for same-sex couples. It also has called for legislation to prohibit discrimination and hate crimes based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Unitarian Universalist Association has 183,000 members, according to the 2000 estimate from the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies.
In a promotional brochure, the Unitarian Universalists state:
"Whenever Unitarian Universalists are called on to take a position on bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender issues, the sentiment is always overwhelming: the human family is one, and the fears and hatred that divide us must be overcome. Human loving and human sexuality are also sacred when shared between members of the same gender. The culture and history of bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender people is important to all of society."
UU congregations may elect to join the Welcoming Congregation program and participate in workshops on gender socialization, homophobia and religious perspectives on homosexuality. The UUA also makes available The Welcoming Congregation Handbook: Resources for Affirming Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, and/or Transgender People for congregations to use in developing programs and services.
As of 2004, more than 43 percent of UU congregations were officially recognized Welcoming Congregations. In addition, all UU congregations are guided by resolutions calling for them to welcome people of all sexual orientations and gender identities and oppose any form of discrimination against LGBT people.
In 2002, the Rev. Sean Dennison became the first out transgender person to serve as the parish minister of a UU congregation, in Salt Lake City.
Marriage Rights
In 1984, the UUA General Assembly passed a resolution affirming the right of UU ministers to perform same-sex union ceremonies, and clergy have performed them ever since.
In 2004, Unitarian Universalist congregations and clergy took the lead in performing wedding ceremonies for same-sex couples in Massachusetts, the first state to make marriage legal for same-sex couples. Local congregations advertised their availability for ceremonies in LGBT publications, while some UU ministers went to town and city halls to perform wedding ceremonies for any couple who requested one. Some congregations also held celebrations of marriage equality during their Sunday services. Hillary and Julie Goodridge, the lead plaintiffs in the case that made marriage legal for same-sex couples in Massachusetts, were married May 17, 2004, at church's headquarters in Boston by the Rev. William G. Sinkford, president of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
In addition, the church openly opposed the Federal Marriage Amendment, which proposed to write discrimination against same-sex couples into the U.S. Constitution. It was defeated in the U.S. Senate in July 2004.
Opposition to Discrimination
The Unitarian Universalist Association has opposed discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS status since 1986. It also opposes discrimination against LGBT people in the U.S. military and has endorsed the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would ban workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation.
A resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 1987 requires that members of the church voice their dissatisfaction with local laws that discriminate against LGBT people:
"When denominational meetings are held in locations where [anti-LGBT] discriminatory laws exist, Unitarian Universalists planning and attending the meetings are urged to adopt creative program methods to support rescission of laws governing private sexual behavior between consenting adults and to support passage of laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation."
In 2004, the General Assembly passed a resolution advocating public school sex education curricula that include teaching about heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
Education on LGBT Issues
Since the 1970s, the Unitarian Universalists have produced curricula on LGBT people for their congregations. Today, the Office of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Concerns offers numerous educational resources, such as the "Same-Sex Wedding Guide" and "Pre-Marital Counseling Guide for Same Gender Couples." It also offers materials on issues relating to transgender people and bisexuality, as well as background information on homosexuality and LGBT issues in general.
Resources for LGBT Unitarian Universalists
- Office of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Concerns.
- Freedom to Marry, for All People is a section of the Unitarian Universalist website devoted to marriage equality.
- Interweave: Unitarian Universalists for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Concerns is a membership organization for LGBT UUs and straight allies.

Los Angeles Times Literacy Center
"This is the most helpful service available to children. Rebecca has been amazing and has motivated Cheyenne all semester long. After tutoring last week Cheyenne would not let me stop and get her something to eat. We had to go directly to Barnes and Noble and buy her a book that is the sequel to one she's working on with Rebecca in the clinic. She was so excited she kept running ahead of me to find just the book she wanted. I feel the center is professional in delivering a wonderful service to the community. Priceless!"
Caroline (mother of Cheyenne 4th grade)
At the Los Angeles Times Literacy Center, Tutors who are candidates in the Masters of Arts Language and Literacy pathway work with young people grades K -12. These young people are struggling with literacy in their school environments. Many have been labeled as struggling readers; most are reported by their schools to be more than one year below grade level. Most of these children come to the L.A Times Literacy Center feeling disenchanted with reading and writing. Our tutors work hard to change this with the children who come to them for help.
Tutors at The Los Angeles Times Literacy Center (LATLC) provide literacy assessment services as well as customized literacy instruction and tutoring for elementary and secondary school students who are considered by their schools and/or parents to be struggling with their growth as literacy learners. As a clinical training site, the Los Angeles Times Literacy Center prepares CSUN M.A Language and Literacy students to take a leadership role in school based, district based and community literacy programs. In addition, LATLC faculty work with community partners on literacy initiatives that better prepare school staff and community volunteers to develop the literacy skills of children and adolescents.

Although the name under which the University was originally chartered was the "University of the City of New-York," the institution from the beginning was commonly known as New York University, and the name was officially so changed in 1896. Despite the seemingly public nature of the name, New York University has always been an independent and autonomous institution of higher education, financed primarily by private endowments, current gifts, and fees. It is not to be confused with other institutions having similar names, the oldest of which is the University of the State of New York, created originally in 1784 as a corporation authorized to charter and control institutions of higher and secondary education in the state; it is now the corporate name of the State Education Department headed by the Board of Regents.
Another, and more recent, such foundation is the State University of New York (SUNY),
established in 1948 to coordinate and develop under a board of trustees the state-financed
institutions of higher education; still another is the City University of New York (CUNY),
established in 1961 to coordinate the municipally supported colleges governed by the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York.
The official seal of New York University combines a silver ceremonial "torch of learning," which is carried in formal academic processions, with a group of four running figures symbolizing effort or striving in the pursuit of learning. The seal carries the Latin motto "Perstare et Praestare," which is generally translated as "to persevere and to excel," together with the name of the University and the roman numerals for 1831, the year of the founding of the institution. When reproduced, the darker portions of the seal are usually printed in violet, the official color of the University.
In recent years a simplified version of the torch alone has been abstracted from the official seal and has gained wide acceptance when used as a symbol of New York University to identify publications, letterheads, buildings, etc. It appears on the cover of this Handbook.
The origin of the University color, violet, is obscure. It may have been chosen because in years gone by violets are said to have grown abundantly in Washington Square and around the buttresses of the old Gothic building. On the other hand, it may have been adopted because the violet was the flower associated with Athens, that center of learning in the ancient world, and was thus regarded as an appropriate symbol of education and knowledge. Both considerations may have entered into the selection, of course. Over the years various shades of violet have been used as the University color. In 1964, however, the University Senate decided that the official standard for University use would be a particular bluish shade of violet, registered with the Color Association of the United States as "Mayfair Violet, 17575." The Senate also decided at that time that the academic robes for the University would be produced in Mayfair Violet.

Hi all,
How is the from date (in time based reduction) used in selecting for example sales orders? My from date is June 1 but in my receiver system I find orders from January...
Thanks, Erik
Hi Erik,
One reason might be that there are subsequent documents in the sales order flow, and that those are from after your "from date".
TDMS tries to keep document flows consistent, so if for example there is a delivery after June it will consider the related sales order, even if the sales order is from before June.
Hope this helps,
