Vocalist Danny Vaughn (TYKETTO) has posted the following message regarding the passing of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW):
"It's difficult when bad news comes to you from the online news headlines. It's impersonal and it often makes it more difficult to grasp the reality of what has happened. So I'm still shaking my head in denial that Ronnie James Dio is gone. Aside from listening to, and covering, his music for many years, I met Ronnie a couple of times over the years and I'll tell you what everyone else that has ever met him will tell you: He was one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. Friendly, engaging, intelligent, gracious, I felt like we had been good friends after five minutes of conversation. "The first time we met we talked about album artwork and the meanings behind some of his. I had only really been in the big world of touring rock bands for a couple of years at that point and was anxious to learn anything I could from someone like him. Let's face it, nobody had a voice like that. It seemed impossible that a sound so huge and powerful could come out of such a slender frame. So I asked him for any advice about keeping his voice fit. Vocal exercises? Eating and exercise regimens? Prayer?? Lol! He gave me a very gentle smile and looked almost embarrassed when he answered me and said, 'I gotta be honest with you, I don't know. I just walk out on stage and the voice is there.' And that has turned out to be a statement that I never forgot and have used again and again as I've walked out on stage. "I saw Dio live not too long ago and he was still belting it out, all the songs I know and love so well, in the original keys. I was as stunned then as I was when I saw the 'Holy Diver' and 'Last In Line' tours. "I don't know why, but it really hurts that he's gone. "My thoughts go out to Wendy Dio, whom I have not had the pleasure of meeting. I know she will take some comfort in the fact that Ronnie was one of the best-loved people in music."DANNY VAUGHN: RONNIE JAMES DIO Was 'One Of The Best-Loved People In Music'

Top 5 burgers in Chicago
September 30, 2010
A top notch burger, indeed (photo: Joseph Storch)
Top Notch Beefburger
(2116 W. 95th St., 773-445-7218) There's a reason they've been in business for more than 60 years: they buy a quarter of a cow at a time, grind the beef on-site, toast their buns, offer deluxe fixin's and fresh-cut fries cooked in pure beef fat.
David Burke's Primehouse
(616 N. Rush St., 312-660-6000) The ground chuck from the burger comes from pieces of meat that have aged for 40 days; ' on top, garlic spinach and' crispy shallots, plus a potato bun slathered with a bacon-mayo spread.
The Twisted Spoke
(501 N. Ogden Ave., 312-666-1500) The Fatboy reigns supreme here: a hand-formed half-pounder, offered with a range of excellent toppings (bacon, BBQ sauce, gouda, among others) served on a garlic toasted egg bun with incredibly tasty fresh-cut fries. 4.'
DMK Burger Bar
(2954 N. Sheffield Ave., 773-360-8686) Grass-fed burgers, pounded thin, served on the best (potato) buns anywhere in town; homemade condiments are
de rigueur.
(2900 W. Belmont Ave., 773-604-8769) They have their rules and their in-your-face servers, but the burgers are still pretty solid, despite the fact the pretzel buns and superfluous proteins (bacon, pulled pork, pancetta?) can overwhelm the beef. ' Don't even think of asking them to turn down (or, God forbid, change) the ear-splitting music. They'll probably throw you out on your ass.

standard CIS chain starting at address 0 in attribute memory has an
implied long link to address 0 in common memory. A CISTPL_NOLINK
tuple can be used to cancel this default link.

specifies the total number of data bytes in this
The PC Card standard defines a few standard configuration registers
located in a card's attribute memory space. A card's CONFIG
tuple specifies which of these registers are implemented. Programs
using these definitions should include:
#include "cisreg.h"
This register should be present for virtually all IO cards. Writing to this register selects a configuration table entry and enables a card's IO functions.
The following bit fields are defined:
Specifies the configuration table index describing the card's current operating mode.
Specifies that the card should generate level mode (edge-triggered) interrupts, the default.
Setting this bit performs a ``soft'' reset operation. Drivers should
use the ResetCard
call to reset a card, rather than writing
directly to this register.
The following bit fields are defined:
If this bit is set, then the CCSR_INTR_PENDING
bit will remain
set until it is explicitly cleared.
Signals that the card is currently asserting an interrupt request. This signal may be helpful for supporting interrupt sharing.
Setting this bit signals that the card should enter a power down state.
Specifies that the card's audio output should be enabled.
This is used by the host to indicate that it can only perform 8-bit IO operations and that 16-bit accesses will be carried out as two 8-bit accesses.
This indicates to the card that it should use the SIGCHG
to indicate changes in the WP
, and
This bit signals to the host that one of the signals in the Pin Replacement Register has changed state.
Signals in this register replace signals that are not available when a
socket is operating in memory and IO mode. An IO card will normally
assert the SIGCHG
signal to indicate that one of these signals
has changed state, then a driver can poll this register to find out
specifically what happened.
The following bit fields are defined:
The current state of the write protect signal.
The current state of the ready signal.
The current state of the battery warn signal.
The current state of the battery dead signal.
Indicates that the write protect signal has changed state since the PRR register was last read.
Indicates that the ready signal has changed state since the PRR register was last read.
Indicates that the battery warn signal has changed state since the PRR register was last read.
Indicates that the battery dead signal has changed state since the PRR register was last read.
This register can also be written. In this case, the STATUS
act as a mask; if a STATUS
bit is set, the corresponding
bit is updated by the write.
This register is used when several identical cards may be set up to share the same range of IO ports, to emulate an ISA bus card that would control several devices. For example, an ISA hard drive controller might control several drives, selectable by writing a drive number to an IO port. For several card drives to emulate this controller interface, each needs to ``know'' which drive it is, so that it can identify which IO operations are intended for it.
The following bit fields are defined:
This should indicate the socket number in which the card is located.
If several identical cards are installed in a system, this field should be set to a unique number identifying which of the identical cards this is.
The following bit fields are defined:
When set, the CCSR_CHANGED
bit will be set when the
bit is set, possibly generating a status change
Signals a card event, such as an incoming call for a modem.
For multifunction cards, these registers are used to tell the card how
the host IO windows have been configured for each card function.
There are four IO Base registers, from CISREG_IOBASE_0
, for the low-order through high-order bytes of an
IO address up to 32 bits long. The CISREG_IOSIZE
register is
supposed to be written as the number of IO ports allocated, minus
one. For MFC-compliant cards, Card Services will automatically set
all of these registers when RequestConfiguration
is called.

THE CITY OF CEDAR PARK ADOPTED A TAX RATE THAT WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE. THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 2.76 PERCENT AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY $6.95. FY 2013 Budget includes no tax rate increase City responds to 7.8% growth in new residences
The City of Cedar Park City Council adopted the City's budget for Fiscal Year 2013 at the Thursday, September 13 City Council Meeting. Even with the city's growth, the $33.6M adopted budget maintains the same high quality of service for Cedar Park citizens, businesses, and visitors without raising the tax rate. To view a summary of the FY 2013 Budget, click here. Cedar Park experienced significant population growth this past year with the addition of about 1,500 new residences. This represents approximately 5,000 new citizens, which increases the demand for City services. However, successful economic development initiatives generated an additional $600K in sales tax revenue in FY 2012. This will allow the City to address some longtime community needs through an FY 2012 budget amendment which was passed during the August 9 meeting. In FY 2013, the increased sales tax projections will be applied towards ongoing operations and allow for maintaining the current ad valorem tax rate. The FY 2012 budget amendment is mostly related to public safety and covers: • Replacement of one quint fire truck and one fire engine • Implementation of a public safety technology project which features computer-aided dispatch, records management, auto vehicle location, automated fire station alerting system and mobile field reporting The FY 2013 budget maintains the existing tax rate and provides for additional resources necessary to maintain current services to our growing population. Highlights of the budget include: • A workforce investment proposal to adjust the pay of police officers and firefighters to more competitive levels with neighboring cities • A pay for performance program for civilian employees • Additional positions in the workforce related to public safety, technology, human resources, community services, and development services • Consideration of a proposal to manage, maintain and operate TxDOT traffic signals on Bell Boulevard (US 183), Whitestone Boulevard (RM 1431), and Parmer Lane (FM 734) The first reading and public hearing of the budget and tax rate was on August 23. A second reading of the budget and public hearing was September 6. The third reading and vote on the budget took place on Thursday, September 13. A copy of the finalized adopted budget will be available in December.

Re: Alex Smith vs. Colin Kaepernick
Why is this even a debate??
Have you guys missed the fact that Smith has been one of the worst QB's in the league for years?? The guy has been a monumental bust and finally had a decent season last year. And yet, there are people acting like he has somehow been done wrong or inappropriately benched?? Alex Smith?? Lol!!
Who is next?? People being up in arms about Horton or Sanchez losing their job as a starter?

Smith can start in this league and succeed. He has been in my opinion more a victim of a revolving door of suck than anything and the last couple of years have demonstrated that he can play and play at a high level.
Don't do anything to mess up your trade value or give anyone the impression that you're not a team player but get the hell out of there as soon as the 2012 campaign is over.
Where is Smith going to go? Lol!! You actually think there would be a market for him?? Smith can't go anywhere other then to a team like the Bills or the Raiders where he can compete with other 2nd string types of QB's that are barely starting. Smith has not ever proven consistency or that he's even a top 15 QB. If you're not a top 15 type of QB, you can always be replaced. Smith will be very very lucky if there is any team that wants him as a starter. At best he'll be lucky to go to a team where he can compete for a starting job like the Jets.

Avallónë ('Haven near Valinor') was a city on the island of Tol Eressëa, the Haven of the Eldar. It was founded by the Teleri during their long stay there. Before moving north on the beaches of Valinor, to escape the light of the trees so they could see the stars.
After the fall of Númenor, Avallónë became the port of arrival for ships that took the Straight Road.
Tolkien was apparently evoking the island of Avalon in the legend of King Arthur, although the form Avallónë also has the meaning "Near Valinor" in Elvish.Template:Vague

Released: Jan 01st, 2000
Running Time: 82
Director: Michael Raven
Company: Sin City Ultra
Alec Metro, Julie Meadows, Chris Cannon, Alexa Rae, Jessica Drake, Evan Stone
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Should work well for couples.
This one is obviously designed for couples who need to justify sex. Brief monologues are repeatedly inserted by those involved as commentary and rationalization.
As a couples product, Modern Love runs to the ideal and traditional. The ocean roars in the background, settings are romantic, the people are physically beautiful, and nothing too outrageous is attempted. Conventional is the key word: vaginal and oral are the order of the day.
Alexa Rae is the total busty bombshell who "... strokes 'em a few times to get what she wants." Rae does a girl/girl with Drake and a few small toys, and Meadows is well-ridden during a boy/girl.
Additional note for technophiles: This is offered in stereo surround sound.

From left, Green Bay Packers quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Graham Harrell, B.J. Coleman and Vince Young run through drills during training camp practice at Ray Nitschke Field on Tuesday. H. Marc Larson/Press-Gazette Media
The Green Bay Packers are ready to roll with four quarterbacks in Friday�s preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
That includes recently signed quarterback Vince Young, who has stayed at team facilities until about 9:30 p.m. every night since signing with the Packers on Monday to get up to speed on the playbook.
In practice, the two-time Pro Bowler has showed some rust. On Thursday, he was picked off during walk-throughs on a pass to James Jones and later whiffed on a short pass to Matthew Mulligan.
Once the team period started, Young was picked off again when he threw a ball behind Jeremy Ross and into the waiting arms of Jarrett Bush, which would�ve went for a pick-6 in a game.
Still, the 30-year-old continues to take third-team snaps ahead of B.J. Coleman and appears to be in the game plan for the Cardinals.
Although it seems like Young will have to make up considerable ground to catch up to Graham Harrell, who�s in his fourth training camp with the team, the Packers are ready for Young to see some game action.
�My goal with Vince is to play him in the game tomorrow,� coach Mike McCarthy said. �He�s definitely playing uphill right now. That�s just from the mental transition that he�s going through and frankly it�s the responsibility of the coaching staff, particularly myself calling the game to get him comfortable where he can just play. That�s really what we�re working on here in the next 30-plus hours.�
Young has some experience in the Packers� offensive scheme after spending a year in Andy Reid�s West Coast offense with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011.
To make up for the terminology differences, he�s bringing his iPad playbook with him everywhere he goes and is staying in constant contact with quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo.
As for spending the past year out of football, Young isn�t letting the moment get to big for him.
�It�s really all the same. This is my craft, it�s something I love to do, so it�s nothing really different,� Young said. �I�ve had the opportunity to play a lot of games in the NFL, so I feel like that�s the help part that�s making me feel if I do go in there and play I will be comfortable. Just want to make sure I�ve got the right plays, got the guys out of the huddle, don�t want any delay of games and things like that.�

Close on the heels of reconstituting its State-level office-bearers' team, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday appointed in-charge leaders for each of the 28 Lok Sabha constituencies in the State to monitor its preparations for the Lok Sabha elections.
With this, the BJP has set the stage for a formal launch of the preparations for the LS polls. The party was waiting for the completion of all the organisational processes to invite its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi to Bangalore to formally launch its preparations for the polls.
Most of the in-charge leaders are former Ministers or sitting MLAs. In addition to the in-charge leaders, co-in-charge leaders have also been appointed. Two co in-charges have been appointed for some of the prominent constituencies.
The party has appointed the former Deputy Chief Minister R. Ashok as in-charge and Jayanagar MLA B.N. Vijay Kumar as co in-charge for the important constituency of Bangalore South, which is attracting media attention in the wake of speculation that Congress may field UIDAI Chairman Nandan Nilekani from here to take on BJP's national general secretary Ananth Kumar.
Keywords: Bharatiya Janata Party, State-level office-bearers, Lok Sabha elections, R. Ashok, B.N. Vijay Kumar

Dr. Lora Billings
Mathematical Sciences
I'm Lora Billings, Mathematical Sciences professor.
I've been teaching at Montclair State since 2001 and love its thriving academic environment that offers students abundant opportunities both in and out of the classroom. I especially enjoy teaching small classes where I can really get to know a diverse group of students who have a lot of interesting ideas and enthusiasms.
My Transitions to Advanced Math course focuses on problem-solving and communication skills by showing undergraduates how to use technology to apply their formal calculus training to real world probability situations – even ones as simple as mortgages or the lottery. I'm also teaching an upper level Differential Equations course that's focused on the mathematical models – or building blocks -- used in different scientific disciplines to predict solutions to everything from the weather to stock market performance.
My own field is Applied Mathematics. I create mathematical models that describe real world situations, predict what happens when parameters change over time, and control outcomes. For example, my work in Mathematical Epidemiology can help predict outbreaks of diseases. These predictions can alert health workers to get ready to control the infections. Since eradication or extinction of a disease is the ultimate goal, this information is critical in developing vaccination strategies.
In August, my department colleague Eric Forgoston and I were awarded a three-year, $278,966 National Science Foundation grant that supports our project, "Understanding the Dynamics of Stochastic Disease Spread in Metapopulations." We're looking to determine the conditions that promote the outbreak, spread, and eventual extinction of disease in randomly connected population networks. We hope to develop innovative ways of analyzing new complex mathematical models – so that scientists wills be able to predict, control and develop strategies to eradicate specific disease.
Montclair State students will be involved in this project, as our grant funds a research group that includes two undergraduate students, one masters' degree student, and one doctoral candidate.
Our collaborative efforts impact our lives. We supply the innovative mathematical models that will be useful tools for other scientific researchers and engineers who are looking for solutions that will make a positive difference.

Re: The People versus Kubiak and Smith - 2nd Degree Murder of Defense
just a question for everybody: IF the D continues to play really well for the rest of the season and it turns out smith was the reason behind it (ie control hadnt been turned over to bush etc), is he still gone?
im not a richard smith fan or anything and id gladly send him packing (esp after dunta's comments) if it turned out frank bush had assumed control lately but i was talking to a jags fan i know and he said that jags fans didnt really like Mike Smith eventhough their D usually ranked pretty well because he was 'too conservative' so once he leaves for atlanta they bring in super-duper defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and the D goes to crap this yr
my point is that sometimes a big name d-coordinator isnt the solution. players need time to get to know schemes etc... so even if richard smith has the D playing very well by the end of the season, was the delay in the change of attitude criminal enough to send him packing? (assuming the reasoning behind that delay was the return of dunta allowed them to become aggressive and man up on wrs in the backend)

On Monday, another of the four police officers, Sean Carroll, said he mistakenly believed Diallo was wearing a bulletproof vest and kept firing at his legs.
Officer Richard Murphy, who also testified yesterday, did not speak of a crouch or combat stance but said he believed Diallo, standing in the vestibule of his Bronx apartment building, had a gun in his right hand.
Boss and Murphy, who followed officers Carroll and Edward McMellon in giving their accounts publicly for the first time, were cross-examined for just 20 minutes each by prosecutor Donald Levin, who asked them almost identical questions. The four were part of the city's notorious Street Crimes Unit, and face 25 years to life if convicted.
There were differences from Monday's testimony. Unlike Carroll, who said he spotted Diallo "slinking" in and out of the vestibule, Boss described him as initially just "standing on a stoop."
Boss and Murphy both said they believed Diallo was armed, but on cross-examination said they did not see any "muzzle flashes," as Carroll described.
Today we have learned about what the officers were up to in the hours before they killed Diallo. At least one of them, McMellon, was identified as having participated in the beating and arrest of two young men in the Bronx. The men, Antoine and Maurice Washington, who were brothers, said they were assaulted by another Street Crimes Unit as they were walking home on the night of February 3–just hours before Diallo was killed. They recognized McMellon as one of the officers in a backup unit that restrained and roughed up the two men.

What board should I get?
I am trying to decide on a new deck to get this season. I have a '06 Capita BSOD and I love it, but I want to get a twin tip park deck for the days I feel like doing nothing but playing in the park. I am getting older and cant afford to hurt myself like I could when I was a kid, so I am not planning on doing anything crazy like 50 foot gaps and endless rails. But I do want a solid deck that will let me butter my face off, press, and hit small to mid size kickers with ease. I have narrowed it down to '09 Forum Youngblood, '09 K2 WWW, '09 Capita Scaremaster, '09 Capita Stairmaster. Which of these do yall think is the best. I have found them all for around $200 so if you know of a different deck that is better than these let me know. Also, what are some good '09 park bindings? thanks

I would look at the Never Summer Evo-R or Circuit-R. Capita I would get an Ultrafear FK or Horrorscope FK. Followed by the Indoor Survival FK then Stair/Scaremaster. A Bataleon Fun Kink or Evil Twin could work too! Lots of choices out there! There aee also a lot of boards that can be way more then a park only stick. Your park board can be your powder board!!!

I dont really need a powder board tho. I live in North Carolina so the only mountains I really ride are the local ones with the occasional visits up to Snowshoe and Winter Place, both of which never get large dumps. I will probably only make it out west once this season, so a board that is both park and powder isnt really appealing. My capita BSOD does fine on all the local cat tracks, so I just want something that will be park only, or maybe play around with friends and butter down the whole mountain, thanks for the input tho

Next time you're tugging at your tie, untwisting your panty hose or praying for a breeze, think "Beach Church." Worship at Beach Church is interrupted when whales or porpoises are spotted off the coast by worshipers, who dress in everything from shorts and sweatshirts to jeans and jackets. Some are sipping coffee from Starbucks cups or insulated mugs. Welcome to the 8 a.m. service of Christ Lutheran Church, San Clemente, Calif., an area best known for the Nixon estate, a quaint downtown, its fishing pier and surfing beach. It's also known to a few as the home of Beach Church, which began as an Easter sunrise worship, developed into a weekly service during the summer months and for the past three years has been a year-round fixture.

This is an example image, it might not represent your chosen color
I travel very frequently and always like to have a good duffle bag with me as I don't really like traditional luggage. I've found that this duffle bag is perfect for quick business trips and even a bit longer if I don't pack too much. It seems to be extremely durable and don't see any reason why I could't use this one for 10 years.

Title: | Integrated Broadband Lumped-Element Symmetrical-Hybrid N-way Power Dividers |
Published: | June 07, 2009 |
Abstract: | This paper presents a monolithically-integrated, broadband, lumped-element, symmetrical-hybrid power divider centered at 20 GHz which was designed and fabricated to uniformly distribute power to arrays of Josephson junctions for superconducting voltage standards. This solution achieves a ten-fold decrease in chip area, and a two-fold increase in bandwidth when compared to a standard distributed 180-degree-hybrid by utilizing LC Pi sections and a coplanar-waveguide phase inverter instead of transmission lines. A single divider demonstrates 0.5 dB maximum insertion loss, and a 1.5:1 VSWR bandwidth of 13-23 GHz. An eight-way, three-level, binary, power divider network is characterized in a divider/attenuator/combiner back-to-back measurement configuration with a 20 dB match bandwidth from 11.5-21.5 GHz. In the 15-22 GHz band of interest, the maximum insertion loss for the sixteen-way divider network is 1.0 dB, with an average of 0.5 dB. |

Product came quickly, securely, and as described. I will definetly use PartsGeek again
Product received was the product I ordered within the specified time frame promised. Very happy with the order.
Delivery was quick, the struts were easy to install and work perfectly.
My strut order was promptly actioned and delivered. They were exceptionally easy to install. It took less than 5 minutes total. These struts don't have as much pressure as the original OEM struts but I always thought they made closing the trunk harder than necessary. I'm very pleased with this product.
Amazing replacement process. Super easy. Part came in on time with no issues.
Partsgeek shipped the said product in a timely fashion. It was exactly as described and what I expected. I compared my old factory Strut and it matched exactly to the stabilus strut, infact the old factory strut is made by stabilus... The old difference was the car manufacturer's logo. It's a great price and deal for a OEM part!

2 Rush Players Head to First National Camp of 2014
Last Updated on Thursday, 06 February 2014 15:01
The US U15 Girls National Team kicks off the first National Team camp of 2014 January 4-11 in Carson, California and Colorado Rush will be well represented with 2 of the 24 players in camp.
Civana Kuhlmann returns to her true age group after spending much of 2013 with the U17 National Team where she became the youngest player (14) to score for the US17's in a major tournament when she scored in CONCACAF Qualifying.
Joining Civana is Colorado Rush teammate Tess Boade who will be making her first appearance with the US National team program.
This group of players is in the final stages of the U15 age cycle and will soon move to the U17 cycle in preparation for the 2016 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Good luck this week girls!

Publisher: Double Dragon Publishing/Double Dragon eBooks | Date published: 11/01/2005 DescriptionWhen Jeffrey Crowder bought his autistic son some magnets and toy electric motors to play with, he had no idea what his impulsive idea would lead to. It was just that he had played with magnets when he was a child and he remembered how much fun they had been. He thought the toy magnets and motors might be just the thing to interest his son and break through the barrier between his autistic mind and events in the outside world. They certainly did that, in a way Jeffrey could never have imagined!

Nothing but good things to say in working with Peter Klose. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. We used him as our attorney in our Westchester Home Purchase transaction and will do so again in the future if need be.
My overall experience with Peter Klose was excellent and I would definitely recommend this attorney. He is a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer as well as amiable and compassionate. I have hired Mr. Klose to represent me during my primary home purchase. I had worked with another lawyer prior to Peter Klose, but I was not happy, therefore, I started looking around for somebody else. I found Peter's name on-line, checked his ratings and reviews, and contacted him. Peter was very helpful with any questions/clarifications that I needed- I felt that I was well informed and properly advised every step of the way. He responded to reasonable amount of time. On many occasions, he exceeded my expectations- I haven't waited once more than 24h to receive an e-mail or call back (even when he was on his vacation, he always got back to me in a timely manner!). And this is exactly why I went back and asked Peter Klose to represent me again!
I was in need of a local NY attorney to represent me in a pending lawsuit but knew of none. I turned to the internet, was impressed with the reviews I read of Mr. Klose and reached out to him. I am extremely please with my decision to hire him to represent me. Mr. Klose challenged me, was very professional, knew the playing field and to my surprise was extremely efficient with my time and his. When I received my invoices there was absolutely no ounce of fluff. When I made some suggestions I was surprised at some of his responses along the lines of "I can take your money but we don't have to do that"; Imagine that? More shocking came months later when he reached out to me suggesting that the case looks like it was going no further, which was a victory for me and therefore he should return the balance of my retainer. Again, imagine that? I received my bulk of my retainer. While I'm delighted and surprised that I did, I cannot emphasize enough, Mr. Klose's professionalism and communication with detail. Next time I need a lawyer, without hesitation, Mr. Klose is my lawyer.
My wife and I have worked with Peter on a litigation and 2 home closings and his support has been outstanding on all counts. We're both litigators by trade so we tend to be a bit demanding and Peter was always responsive and did an excellent job. He received high marks in expertise, negotiating skills, and counseling. I recommend him without reservation.
Peter was my attorney on a real-estate transaction in Rockland county. He is a pleasure to work with: keeps you in the loop throughout the process, very responsive to emails, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Working with Peter was a breeze. He is very knowledgable about real estate laws and he made the closing process quick and simple. I was able to complete all paperwork with him before closing through email, which worked best for me and my hectic schedule. He challenged the lenders and sellers attorneys when needed which helped my confidence level in him. He is very personable and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Peter for making my home purchase so comfortable and easy!!!!
Peter has helped my family with several real estate closings now. Every time he proves to be eternally available (via email, cell, you name it) and dedicated to getting the best outcome for us. He puts in the hours and never minds doing so. He fights for our cause and allows us to sleep better knowing he's supporting us and on our side. He's very intelligent and knows the laws. He's punctual and professional. What more could you ask from your attorney.
We were initially using another lawyer with slightly lower fees. I quickly realized that we were not getting the resposiveness that we needed for such a large transaction. We switched to Peter Klose and it was the best decision we could have made. He answered all of our questions promptly and displayed a determination to protect our interests. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the home buying process.
Mr. Klose recently assisted us in the closing of our house in Nyack, NY. The purchase was a short sale that required a lot of attention and responsiveness, which Mr. Klose was able to provide us with. He is approachable yet professional, with a wide array of legal knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend his services.
I ran into Mr. Klose by accident. But I realized Immediately, that I can deal with this lawyer comfortably. He is knowledgeable, personable, ready to protect and help, eager to learn more details about your case and explaining everything to the client clearly. I hope I don't need a lawyer in the future. But if one of my friends is unfortunate enough to need one, I will certainly recommend Mr. Klose.

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:2). There are as many interpretations of scripture as there are people it seems. With all these voices clamoring all around us how can we know what really is the truth? It is time to go to the men who were eyewitnesses of the things they speak -- the original Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ! Far too many of us have allowed religious practice and the voices of others to tell us who we are and what we must do to please God. In fact it is not what we must do but our faith in Jesus Christ Who He is and what He has done that gives us peace with God, and permits us to "walk in the works" which the Father has prepared for us.

One or two of our ewes are limping. We get them in to have a look see what the problem is. One of them has a bit of an ulcer on her toe and needs a bit of TLC. I give her a pedicure and clean out the foot with salt water and goop it up with some foot paste. She is going to stay in the pen tonight to keep her feet out of the mud. She is not impressed. There are a couple of others who get a foot trim too. Our sheep are big and not the easiest to tip, especially if they're are not in the mood. The older girls are used to the drill and don't fight too much but I'm a little dismayed that one of last years shearlings needs some attention. She had bad feet at lambing and gave me an almighty head-butt when I tipped her to sort her feet out. I do not want a repeat performance so am ultra careful and quick, she's on her bum before she knows what's happening. Now, no kicking!
Skye doesn't understand what Peanut's problem is. She looks like a sheep, smells like a sheep, eats like a sheep but when he tries to round her up she either stays still or tries to hide behind me or Susan. Why wont she be gathered like the others? Why is she not afraid? Peanut is perfectly clear on the situation, she isn't a sheep so needn't behave like one.
We have got the creep feeder down at Tarraby now but it look like the calves haven't quite got the hang of it yet. We have taken Acorn and little Kate down to join the others so there is now three calves to feed there. I have put some crushed barley in the feeder and some hay in the rack inside. Day two and the hay and barley have not been touched. We put some barley in a bucket in the feeder on the floor to tempt them in. Day three and the barley in the bucket has gone and it looks like someone has had a go at the barley in the trough. Hay still not touched. It seems like it might take a while to teach these calves.
The snow comes on Sunday, small but persistent flakes. I'm feeding at Aglionby and the girls are keen as ever to get their dinner. The large semi-permanent pond in the field has frozen over and we go stamp in it to break the ice. I'm kind of hoping it stays cold for a few days as the area around the pen where the big bales of haylage are has been trampled into a swamp. This makes it quite difficult to get out with the barrow full of haylage, it's certainly a workout. Speed is of the essence as well when it comes to Hayley who is likely to jab you out of the way in her enthusiasm to get to dinner. Sticky sticky mud is not something which aids speedy movement. C'mon frost!
Emma completed a degree in Creative Imaging at Huddersfield University before working for a photography studio as an editor. Taking a break from the office world she worked in outdoor education for several years, climbing, abseiling, shooting, trampolining and even life-guarding with children of all ages. When Emma found out about the apprenticeship scheme with the Soil Association it seemed the perfect chance to do something worthwhile and fulfilling. After much searching and badgering farms in the North of England she found a position with Hadrian Organics and started in July 2011. So far it is living up to her expectations, every day is a new challenge and every day is different.

Shiseido has signed Jennifer Connelly as the newest spokesperson and face for its premium skincare line Future Solution LX. I'm pretty up to date on my Asian beauty but I didn't know that Jennifer actually already did a campaign with Shiseido in 2009 in Asia.
Shiseido says, "We believe that she portrays the essence of the Future Solution LX line perfectly and that her inner and outer beauty will inspire our customers."
As for me? I associate everything Jennifer Connelly with Labyrinth.
What do you think?
Loving her as the face of Shiseido?
Not so much?
Who would you pick?
2/7/12 9:57 Cj:
*yawn* morning muse.
I had to google who she was lol, she's been in a bunch of movies but I guess she's forgettable to me lol. She is pretty tho. I don't use much Shiseido products, only thing I really use from them is their facial cotton, which is pretty awesome IMO, doesn't leave little bits all over my face lol. I've been meaning to try their men's line of skincare, they have a couple products that look really interesting
2/7/12 10:26 the Muse:
good morning second that yawn for me, total zombie today!
omg you never saw labyrinth? rent it, immediately ;-D! it's the bestest ;D!
2/7/12 10:02 Nana:
I like her and Labyrinth is my jam!! Everytime ive asked someone if theyve seen it they're like "….uh….. what?" LOL! And I've had a crush on David Bowie in that movie since i was like 5 O_O
2/7/12 10:25 the Muse:
me too lol me too! ;-D David Bowie in skin tight pants umhhhhhmmmmmmm
2/7/12 10:46 eight:
I find her so beautiful, a classic beauty along the lines of Kate Winslet. I liked her in Requiem For a Dream, quite a leap from Labyrinth haha!
2/7/12 11:02 the Muse:
lmao indeed!
2/7/12 11:01 Missy:
That's one of my favorite movies David Bowie = YUM. If I were her, I'd have stayed in the Goblin City with him
2/7/12 11:02 the Muse:
hells YES! I always thought she was stupid for living!
2/7/12 12:09 lexi:
It's only forever
Not long at all
Lost and Lonely
That's underground, undergroundI love that one
2/7/12 12:10 the Muse:
me too. sigh!
2/7/12 12:43 Sara:
Guh, I love Jennifer Connelly so hard. Ever since Labyrinth!!! Then after that I also think of "The GOOD Hulk" with her and Eric Bananarana and how freaking beautiful she is.
I actually just rewatched Labyrinth (it's well past a dozen viewings, more if you count how many times I've started in the middle) last month! Sweet! The Goblin city might just be more appealing once you get older! It's like "yeah, I've sorta looked around this joint and there are no goblins and Ludos here so….I can livez in Goblen Citeh, yes? Dance and sing with 'Teh Bowiez', yes?" :p
2/7/12 12:45 the Muse:
lol sara…!
2/7/12 13:27 Ida:
Oh yes Jennifer Connelly = Labyrinth! :I've seen her in 'serious' movies but I still always associate her with Labyrinth. I saw it as a kid and I thought it was absolutely magical. D
Her being the new face of Shiseido is unexpected to me, but I'm fine with it- she's gorgeous!
2/7/12 14:03 kiwikiwidragon:
I had to get on the Labyrinth band wagon here, watched it on demand a few months ago with DH, he hadn't seen it from start to finish. I didn't realize i was giving away all my catch phrases and one liners…ooops! HBO on demand either had a bad copy, or they need to restore that or convert it to digital. I love this movie so hard and it looked so bad visually. I think I need it on DVD and can make a better judgement. Didn't lose my love for it at all, although, I can still say her acting ability leaves something to be desired in that flick. The picture she did after it was better, as far as her acting talent, not the overall movie itself, the one in Target whose name escapes me right now.
2/7/12 16:29 Xail:
I completely forgot about her, to be honest, though she's quite pretty. Whenever I see her, I think of "Requiem for a Dream". (Great cinematography, but that movie freaks me out. If lectures in health class or watching "Intervention" on A&E didn't help, then "Requiem" will most certainly keep a person from ever trying drugs.)
When I was watching "Requiem", I thought that I had seen her from somewhere else, but couldn't figure out where. Now I remember that she was in "Labyrinth"! I really need to watch that movie again, it's been ages since I last did. David Bowie works a pair of tights (or pants, or whatever they were) like no one's business…
I think Jennifer Connelly is a good choice! Her face is even a bit similar looking to the previous model (at least in my opinion it is). She definitely has the sort of look I would associate with Shiseido.
I absolutely LOVE the Labyrinth! I even did the ballroom scene from the Labyrinth as an art project in college. Its the movie that keeps on giving! Besides, Bowie is sexy. The pants. Oh, the pants! I can never get tired of the Labyrinth.
2/8/12 11:01 the Muse:
oh the pants….the pants are amazing LOL! what sort of project that sounds interesting TK!
I believe the project was to create a movie poster. At first I was gonna do Disney's Sleeping Beauty but I decided that the Labyrinth would be soooo much cooler and it gave me a good excuse to watch the Labyrinth again. That ballroom scene was so memorable! It looked lovely in water color with Sara and Jareth dancing around the ballroom!
2/9/12 10:05 the Muse:
aw that sounds amazing tk! ;-D I'd love to see that painting/drawing!
2/7/12 23:05 Lexi:
Meh for her as a spokesperson. Giant happy dance for Labyrinth though!!!
2/8/12 13:45 Plamka:
Michelle Yeoh (even though she's not as young as Jennifer) – i somehow always asociated her looks with Shiseido. And since im a new follower of yours i would like to ask you- have you tried the HadaLabo super hyaluronic lotion everyone's so crazy about? you're doing a great job here:) hugs!
5/5/12 14:37 christmas:
Shiina Ringo would be a good spokesperson. I know she has been in some ads for them but I think of Shiseido as classy, mature (in a good way), and Japanese… which is how I think of Shiina.

Winamp 2 Kernel Streaming Output Plugin, Wanna try out my KS output plugin for WA |
Winamp 2 Kernel Streaming Output Plugin, Wanna try out my KS output plugin for WA |
Nov 29 2002, 01:52
Group: Developer Posts: 359 Joined: 29-October 02 Member No.: 3652 |
I just wrote a simple Kernel Streaming output plugin for WA2 - check it out at http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~cshei/out_ks.dll. It's very experimental right now - it just uses the first output device it finds, and it's currently hard-coded to use 10 output buffers (so it might skip if you have all those WinXP visual effects enabled). Source code is at http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~cshei/out_ks.zip (a VC++ .NET project - sorry VC++ 6 users). I just wrote it this afternoon, because Microsoft released a Kernel Streaming demo today . I'll be adding tons of stuff soon, including SSRC resampling (for those who are blessed with fixed sampling rate DACs ) and selection of output device and # of buffers.
Annuka: using Kernel Streaming should prevent ALL other programs from using the sound device, which should solve the "Silence Flash" problem. Edit: By the way, if you do give it a try, give me some comments/suggestions This post has been edited by Chun-Yu: Nov 29 2002, 01:54 |

Alright I answered my own question and it is a different program so I'm not going to get it. However, maybe it's just that my version of Winamp won't function that way using the out_ks plugin. What version are you running that seems to be working well with it?

Catastrophic shocks to existing stocks of a renewable resource can cause long-run price shifts. With timber, these long-run price shifts may be accompanied by a short-run price drop due to salvage. Hurricane Hugo damaged 20% of southern pine timber in the South Carolina Coastal Plain in 1989. To estimate the short and long run effects of the hurricane on the prices of timber stocks, we estimated an intervention model of the residuals of cointegration of South Carolina sawtimber and pulpwood stumpage prices with prices of similar products from other regions. Modeling revealed a 30% negative price spike due to salvage and a long-run enhancement effect, leading to prices that are 10 to 30% higher than they would have been had Hugo not occurred.

Hearts and Flowers Wreath
By: Mega Crafty
Make the Hearts and Flowers Wreath in time for Valentine's Day. It will look great hanging from anywhere in your home and with these step by step instructions, it's easy to create.
See this project and more in 12 Amazing Valentine Hearts to Craft + 5 New Heart Crafts!
- Foam Base
- 50+ Coffee Filters
- Neon Pink food coloring
- Glue
- I cut a foam base into a heart shape.
- I dyed about 50 filters I think, using neon pink food coloring. I mixed the food coloring with a little water in a bowl. Curled up the filters into a flowery shape and dipped just the ends into the dye.
- Since our stove has a pilot light (which always keeps it just a little bit warm) I placed batches of wet filters onto a wax paper lined cookie sheets and let them dry in the oven for about an hour.
- The result was a soft graduated pink to white coloring.
- Then I began filling my foam with the filters.
- To do this I added a small dot of white glue to the bottom of the filter and used a small dowel (about the thickness of a pencil) to push it into the foam.
- I filled and filled and filled the foam with my filters. Placing them pretty close together so the tightly packed ruffles looked like flowers.
- Once the entire foam piece was covered I glued ribbon around the edge of the foam to cover the unfinished edge.
- I also glued a loop of ribbon on the back to hang the wreath from. And since the back will be visible through the window on my door I traced the foam shape onto some brown craft paper and glued that onto the back. It's gives it a neater look than just having the foam.

Quashie set for loan switch?
Filed: Sunday, 18th November 2007
By: Matthew O'Greel
Nigel Quashie is on the verge of a move to Glenn Roeder's Norwich City.
The midfielder - who is fit again following a six month absence through injury - is thought to be one of two players Roeder, who recently succeeded Peter Grant at Carrow Road, is looking to bring in on loan.
Quashie signed for the Hammers in January of this year but is now surplus to requirements following the summer arrivals of Scott Parker, Kieron Dyer and Freddie Ljungberg.
Norwich are currently bottom of the Football League Championship. Roeder, who took the managerial reigns last month, has so far seen his team take just one point from his three games in charge.
Quashie - who cost United £1.5m when he signed from Championship side West Brom - has made just eight first team appearances for the club.

''I have no problem with Quashie coming to Carrow Road as long as it's with view to stay, because he has nothing to prove like a younger player who will try to impress his parent club - but on the other hand he is low on the list so perhaps this is Roeder's thinking ... ''
