It's time to admit that after many years and many bottles, I'm still trying to figure out aged white wine. Matt Kramer's recent post on Wine Spectator ("Is It Worth It to Age Wines Anymore?") opened the floodgates for me to make this confession regarding (specifically) aged dry white wine. If we were talking about a great Riesling or an exceptionally sweet wine, I say sock 'em away for decades! But otherwise I've had a lot of mixed experience with aged white wines. And it has to do with personal preference. I like freshness and panache in my white wines; with age, they can take on a golden color (nice) and some flavors that I find to be a little mushroom-y and/or funky (not so nice).
Fortunately I had a pleasant experience with a modest bottle of wine from France's Loire Valley. It's from the region of Jasnières, where the wines are composed of Chenin Blanc. I bought this bottle a few years ago for under $20 (in Seattle) and thought I'd forget about it for a while. Upon walking it from its slumber, the 2004 Pascal Janvier Jasnières had acquired some extra richness and color, but still had a nice refreshing finish. It wasn't the oldest of dry white wines, but, closing on a decade of age, showed like a real sleeper of my cellar.* Which left me feeling less frustrated. A wine that pleasantly surprises can have that effect.
With the remaining bottles in my cellar, I'm planning on being less of a gambler. And more of a drinker.
*My cellar is a bunch of cardboard boxes in a in a basement storage room, precariously strewn around ski equipment and other random items.

CONTACT: Becky Zelinski, 661/664-2138, email@example.com or Mike Stepanovich, 661/664-2456, email@example.com California State University, Bakersfield nursing students received prestigious scholarships from the Central Valley Nursing Scholarship Program of the California Health Professions Foundation.
Agustin Munoz, Rigoberto Lopez and Patricia Chavez received three of eight scholarships awarded to students completing bachelors of science degrees in nursing, and Florentino Robles received the only masters of science in nursing scholarship.
The Foundation awarded 25 scholarships ranging from $8,000 to $12,000 each to nursing students from Kern, Fresno, Madera, Kings, Merced and Tulare counties. These included one master's, eight bachelor's and 16 associate's degree scholarships. Of the 153 applications processed, 22 percent came from CSUB students and 59 percent were associate degree students.
The $1.1 million nursing endowment was established to help reduce the nursing shortage in the Central Valley, where the problem has reached catastrophic levels. Recipients are expected to work in the Central Valley for two years after they receive their nursing degrees.

Small boat close handling control
I've had the Catalina 25 at a mooring all summer but just recently we have it at a dock. This is a dock with finger piers, I'm on "L". I'm the third boat from the dock or the dock side of the first finger. I have to back out and turn to starboard to exit the fairway. Once exiting the fairway I'm still not in the clear as I then enter another fairway where I have to turn left to finally get to the channel. The fairways are wide I'm guessing maybe 75', I'm only 25' and 35' boats are slipped right next to me.
I have no problem getting out but I notice that I often have to turn the 9.9 mercury to make it happen. The Mercury is on a bracket on the starboard side sticking out a couple feet as is common on a spring loaded motor mount.
The wind is often blowing down the fairway and will blow the bow the wrong way. It is easy enough to turn the motor and force the bow to turn upwind.
My question is that on some similar boats in the 20 to 27' size the motor is fixed and can not turn.
On the Catalina 25 after I back out enough so the bow clears the big boats next to me and I put it in forward the wind will blow the bow down and I don't have any steering control with the rudder for at least 2 to 3 boat lengths.
Since I can turn the motor I have no problems but if I had a similar boat where the motor could not turn what would be my options?
I even backed down the first fairway but then I had the same problem with the second fairway. If you change direction you have to stop at some point. It takes a long time for the boat to get enough speed to get rudder steering.
It seems to me an outboard with a fixed mount would be a real hassle in even moderate close quarters.
Maybe the boats with a well for the outboard have better handling because the rudder is better positioned relative to the prop.

Now open on Sundays!
Posted on 10 / 30 / 2014This health food shop is a long-standing Salisbury fixture, with a recent make-over (when it changed hands), extending the cafe and sandwich bar aspect. All the vegan store cupboard essentials available here, though not as comprehensive a selection as equivalent stores in Bath, Southampton etc, so no Vegusto or Vionic cheeses. (They've also been weirdly reluctant to consider stocking different products on request - for example, they stock the normal Engevita, but would not countenance stocking the one with B12).
Cons: Fairly limited selection, Quite heavy on the supplements

Title: | The Future of Köho: A Mon-Khmer language of Viêt Nam |
Author: | Neil H. Olsen |
Email: | click here TO access email |
Institution: | University of Utah |
Linguistic Field: | Sociolinguistics; Writing Systems |
Subject Language: |
Subject LANGUAGE Family: | Austro-Asiatic |
Abstract: | Kơho, a Mon-Khmer (Austroasiatic) language, is spoken by approximately 100,000 people located in Lam Dong province in the highland region of Viet Nam. There are also several thousand other speakers who now live in France and the USA. In 1986, and again in 1992, Kơho refugees were resettled in North and South Carolina. Like so many emigrant groups preceding them, the children are not learning the language and cultural traditions are not being preserved. Maintenance of the Kơho language has become an important issue to the relocated community/L//L/Since the 1930s, missionaries, government agencies, and educators using several different alphabets have produced scripture, primers, grammars, and dictionaries. After 1975, use of minority languages was discouraged and a Vietnamization campaign emphasized integration of minority peoples into the majority national society. Despite the fact that Kơho has 100,000 speakers, it has the potential to become an endangered language. A challenge to overseas Kơho will be maintaining their "critical mass" of speakers./L//L/This presentation will review the history of the development of orthographies, explore the religious, political, and pedagogical ramifications of orthography choice in the preparation of literacy materials, and review resources for language and cultural maintenance. |

IN PHOTOS: Fluvial procession, re-enactment
-A A +ASaturday, January 18, 2014
CEBU -- The annual fluvial procession kicked off from St. Joseph Parish Church in Mandaue City to Basilica Minore de Sto. Niño Saturday dawn.
Compared to last year's procession, the organizers this year decided to take a shorter route. From the St. Joseph Parish in Mandaue City, the procession passed through S.B. Cabahug St., A. Soriano Avenue, J.M. Ceniza, then to Ouano wharf, where the galleon-like motorized boat with ornamented flowers docked.
The foot procession continued in Cebu City after the image of Senyor Santo Niño arrived at Cebu Port area and transported to Basilica's Pilgrim Center where the re-enactment of the first Holy Mass in the province was held.
In his homily, Basilica rector Fr. Jonas Mejares lauded anew the Cebuano devotees' faith amidst the bad weather condition. He also sang the infamous "Magellan" song, earning cheers from the crowd.

I recently had an awful breakout from a birth control my body didn't agree with.. Left behind lots of darks spots on my cheeks and chin area. I believe my skin type/complexion scars much easier then others... I will not leave my house without make up on and my boyfriend (soon to be husband) has never seen me without foundation on.. These dark marks NEED to be significantly better by may! (none of these scars are indented or raised, they are just dark spots)
Chemical Peel Will Help Remove Dark Spots Left Behind from Acne?
Doctor Answers 4
You are experiencing post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, this is a discoloration caused by trauma to the skin such as acne. This is very treatable, there are a few different options such as IPL, laser or chemical peel treatments. usually this pigmentation is very superficial so a session of 1 to 3 peels should easily take care of your uneven skin tone. Chemical peels also have additional benefits such as anti aging and improving skin texture.
Brown discoloration is very common after acne outbreaks but fortunately, it's treatable. To some degree, "post inflammatory hyperpigmentation" fades slowly by itself providing you stay out of the sun, use SPF daily, and don't get further outbreaks. But to hurry things along, you can actively treat it, most easily with a prescription cream from your doctor. Triluma contains a mild lightening agent, a mild steroid, and tretinoin- and must be performed under the care of a doctor so you know how to use it optimally. While Triluma is the easiest, there are multiple other treatments for PIH, including other skin lightening creams, intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacials, and/or light chemical peels. In my practice, if someone needs help quickly we will recommend a brightening peel followed by a skin care regimen that includes a lightening agent and daily SPF for prevention. Adding low dose retinol cream can be protective against further outbreaks too. Good luck! -Dr. Capone
Acne commonly leaves behind dark marks especially in people with darker skin. Chemical peels can be an excellent way to address the blemishes, however, it is key to treat the acne. Consult with a board-certified dermatologist to determine what combination of prescription-strength acne medications, bleaching or brightening creams, and procedures, such as chemical peels, would be best for you. It can take months to clear this problem so if you want results by May see someone ASAP. Good luck!

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or skin stains that follow inflammation, trauma, surgery or skin infections is a very common, troubling and frustrating problem. Acne is a form of skin inflammation and when pimples clear up they typically leave brown skin stains in their wake that most acne sufferers often confuse with permanent scars.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which may persist for weeks to months, when left untreated, can be the source of much frustration and concern. If the spot feels flat to the touch and shows no evidence of being elevated or depressed upon the surrounding skin surface, the brown skin stain that follows acne is likely to be simple post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. In most cases, this form of post-inflammatory pigmentation will fade slowly and completely with time.
To speed clearing, a combined regimen of home use of fade creams (there are many different kinds these days containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, arbutin, licorice derivatives), retinoic acid, alphahydroxy acids, topical steroids, etc. may be recommended or prescribed for several weeks alone or in combination with in-office treatment with a series of superficial chemical peels to accelerate fading. Successful in-office peeling agents include Jessner's solution, salicylic acid, low strength TCA and high concentration glycolic acid.
Consultation with a board certified dermatologist who specializes in aesthetic medicine is advisable to arrive at the best treatment plan for you.

H-1B Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are some reasons a foreign national may not be eligible for H-1B classification?
Q5: Why is FSIS taking so long to complete the H-1B petition? It's already been over a week.
Q6: Can an H-1B employee pay for any of the fees for his/her H-1B petition?
Q10: Can an H-1B employee go on leave without pay?
Q11: Is there an automatic grace period at the end of H-1B status?
Q13: Can an H-4 dependent work in the U.S.?
Q14: Can an H-4 dependent study in the U.S.?
Q1: What are some reasons a foreign national may not be eligible for H-1B classification? [top]
Reasons may include, but are not limited to:
- The prospective hiring unit cannot pay the person the required wage (i.e. the higher of the prevailing wage and the actual wage).
- The position offered does not require at least a bachelor's degree as a minimum requirement.
- The person does not have at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent.
- The person has already been in the U.S. for 6 years in H-1B status and he/she has not spent at least 12 months outside the U.S. after the 6-year period ended.
- The person is subject to the 212(e) 2-year home residence requirement stemming from J-1 status and has not yet fulfilled the requirement nor obtained a waiver of it.
Q2: Why can't an F-1 student qualify for the automatic cap-gap extension if he/she will be an H-1B employee at UH? [top]
F-1 students are only eligible for an automatic cap-gap extension if their H-1B employer is subject to the H-1B cap. As an institution of higher education, UH is exempt from the cap. Therefore, if a student's F-1 status end date will occur before UH's H-1B petition start date, he/she must depart the U.S. and be readmitted in H-1B status after the H-1B petition is approved.
Q3: If an F-1 student has OPT STEM extension approval, why might a UH department need to file an H-1B petition rather than use the STEM extension EAD as proof of work authorization? [top]
It's possible the hiring unit does not participate in E-Verify for STEM extensions. There are many UH departments that participate in E-Verify for federal contracts only, which does not necessarily mean an F-1 student with an OPT STEM extension may work for them using the STEM extension EAD. The department should check with its college/school's HR office to determine whether the particular college/school participates as an E-Verify participant for STEM extension hires. If not, then in most cases, the department will need H-1B or another type of qualifying work authorization to employ the person. See UH Administrative Procedure A9.685 for more details on the E-Verify program.
Q4: What is a prevailing wage? What is an actual wage? What is the required wage and why is there a wage requirement anyway? [top]
The prevailing wage
is the average wage paid to similarly employed workers in a specific
occupational classification in the area of intended employment, while
the actual wage is the wage rate being paid to all other UH
workers who are similarly employed and who have similar experience and
qualifications to the prospective H-1B worker. The required wage is therefore the greater of the prevailing wage or the actual wage. This is the wage that must be paid to an H-1B employee.
An employer must pay the required wage to an H-1B worker to ensure that the employment of the H-1B worker is not adversely affecting the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. The required wage provisions are therefore in place to protect U.S. workers as well as the H-1B worker.
Q5: Why is FSIS taking so long to complete the H-1B petition? It's already been over a week. [top]
Before we can complete an H-1B petition, we have to receive certification of a labor condition application (LCA) from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). DOL can take 7-10 days to certify the application. There is no way to expedite certification.
In addition to LCA certification, FSIS must now obtain clearance from the UH Export Compliance officer before we can release a completed petition for filing. The Export Compliance officer must discuss potential issues with the H-1B beneficiary's direct supervisor in order to recommend clearance. Due to conflicting schedules, this sometimes cannot be done right away.
Another common reason for a delay is that we have not received all of the required documentation and/or information in order to complete the H-1B petition.
Finally, we must prioritize our workload based on filing deadlines set by U.S. government agencies. Even if a hiring unit submits an H-1B request to us well in advance of the intended start date, we may need to set the request aside if another unit sends in a request that requires our immediate attention. We strongly urge units to submit their requests as early as possible so as to avoid situations that require last-minute action.
Q6: Can an H-1B employee pay for any of the fees for his/her H-1B petition? [top]
No. The UH hiring unit is required to pay all "costs connected to the performance of H-1B program functions which are required to be performed by the employer, e.g. preparation and filing of the LCA and H-1B petition." (20 CFR 655.731(c)(9)(ii)). Therefore, as an institutional policy, UH hiring units must pay all H-1B-related fees, none of which may be passed on to an H-1B employee.
Q7: Can a UH hiring unit get reimbursed by an H-1B employee for his/her H-1B fees if the employee resigns before the end of his/her employment contract? [top]
Q8: If an H-1B employee's entry visa in his/her passport expired or is about to expire, does he/she need to leave the U.S. to apply for a new visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate in order to remain in valid H-1B status? [top]
No. An entry visa in a person's passport is used solely for admission to the U.S. The visa in his/her passport has no bearing on his/her H-1B status while he/she is in the U.S. As long as the person has a valid H-1B approval notice and I-94 card, he/she can remain in the U.S.
Q9: Can the H-1B employee of a different employer (not UH) receive an honorarium or reimbursements from a UH department? [top]
It depends on the type of payment. Because H-1B classification is employer-specific, an H-1B holder who does not have an H-1B approval notice from UH may not receive a salary, honorarium, fee, or any other payment that might resemble compensation for services from UH. UH may, however, reimburse the H-1B holder for actual expenses incurred (e.g. airfare, lodging, transportation, etc.).
Q10: Can an H-1B employee go on leave without pay? [top]
Possibly, but it depends on the circumstances.
Even if an H-1B worker is not performing his/her duties, regulations may require that he/she still receive his/her full wages during that nonproductive period. (20 CFR 655.731(c)(7)). UH must continue paying full wages if the H-1B worker is not carrying out his/her duties due to:
- A decision by the employer (e.g. because of lack of assigned work)
- Lack of a permit or license
- Any other reason except as specified below
An H-1B worker can go on LWOP if:
- During the LWOP period, payment of wages is not required under UH's benefit plan or any statutes (such as the Family and Medical Leave Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act) AND
- Conditions unrelated to employment are what take the H-1B worker away from his/her duties AND
- The LWOP period is at the worker's voluntary request and convenience (e.g. touring the U.S., caring for ill relative) OR due to circumstances which render the worker unable to work (e.g. maternity leave, car accident which temporarily incapacitates him/her).
Q11: Is there an automatic grace period at the end of H-1B status? [top]
No. An H-1B beneficiary must leave the US by the last day of his/her H-1B status or risk accruing unlawful presence.
Q12: If an H-1B employee seems to have reached the 6-year maximum, is there any way for him/her to remain in the U.S. any longer? [top]
H-1B extensions beyond 6 years may be possible in the following situations:
- If 365 days have passed since a permanent labor certification application or an I-140 petition was filed on the employee's behalf.
- If the employee has an approved I-140 but cannot file an I-485 adjustment of status application because his/her priority date is not yet current.
Another possibility is if an H-1B holder has spent a significant amount of time abroad during the H-1B approval period, he/she may be eligible to recapture that time abroad. This would be done via an H-1B petition filed by UH.
If the person has no other options for remaining in the U.S. (e.g. he/she cannot change to a different immigration status), the person should depart the U.S. or risk accruing unlawful presence.
Q13: Can an H-4 dependent work in the U.S.? [top]
Dependents of H-1B employees are not eligible for work authorization while they are in H-4 status. However, if an H-4 dependent applies for a job and receives an offer from a prospective employer, that employer may petition for the dependent's own work-eligible status, such as H-1B. The dependent must change to the work-eligible status before he/she can begin working.
Q14: Can an H-4 dependent study in the U.S.? [top]
H-4 dependents may study in the U.S. on either a full or part time basis. However, the duration of their study depends on the H-1B holder's period of stay. While H-4 dependents are not required to take a full course of study like F-1 students, H-4s are ineligible for F-1 benefits such as on-campus employment and practical training.

Low energy (from 0 up to 13 eV) electron attachment to formic and acetic acid is studied for the first time by means of mass spectrometric detection of the product anions. The energy spread of electron beam was 120 meV (acetic acid) and 140 meV in the case of formic acid. For all negative fragments estimates for the absolute partial cross sections were obtained. In the case of both acids, the (parent—H)− ion yield shows a structure that is tentatively ascribed to the vibrational excitation in the formate anion.

"Overall, my weekend went pretty good, it was a very solid visit," he said. "It is a small and compact campus which I really like. It has a lot of history and football tradition. They showed me where they do the Eagle walk, and I was able to visit with people in academics as well."
Brown plans to enroll in January, and he already has his academic courses mapped out.
"I met with some people in the criminal justice department," he informed us. "That is what I am majoring in, and Southern Miss has one of the best in the country. I know that if I don't make it to the highest level of football, I will still have a great degree to fall back on. I want to be a parole officer one day, and also I have three years to play. I want to go through and get a master's, so I can start on that as well."
Brown's road to Southern Miss started in Miami, then up through Brooklyn, NY. He explained how he took this winding road that ends in Hattiesburg.
"I only played one year of High School football at Monsignor Pace in Miami, FL," he said. "I played well and made an all-star game in Florida. I was fortunate to play with some top notch guys and that really helped me. I was struggling early in the process to get the ACT scores to qualify for Division One.
"I thought about just getting a job or trying to walk on somewhere because I really wanted to help my Mom out," he continued. "Then, one of my coaches helped me get in at ASA in Brooklyn, NY. I got a full scholarship to come here, and that is how I ended up here."
He already has been branded as a rare find. "At Southern Miss today they were calling me a 'diamond in the rough,' he said. "My career has been light, but I have really played well, so every time I get a chance I make the most of it."
It was at ASA that his career really started to take off and Division One schools started to take notice. "I have only played one year at ASA, I redshirted last season as I was behind a tackle who signed D1," he said. "I took a back seat and learned a lot from him. My offensive line coach was great too, and I really developed last season.
"This past season I really had a great season. I played both left and right tackle, and I also made all conference this season. I played in an all American game as well."
"Southern Miss found out about me through one of my coaches here at ASA," he said. "I was having a solid season, and I sent a highlight tape, Coach got in touch with them, and they saw me play and liked what they saw and they offered me."
So, what can Southern Miss fans expect to see from the huge offensive tackle?
"My demeanor is strength of mine," he said. "I have a bit of a mean streak, and I am very athletic. I am fast and light on my feet. Just me being an overall team player is very important to me. I was taught early on that it is never about you, it is about a team."
He is also quick to give credit where credit is due. "If anyone asks me who I want to thank, it all goes to God," he said. "Every morning I get up I realize how blessed I am and thank him for everything that I have."
He ended the interview by adding more reasons that he decided to land with the Eagles. "Another reason why I decided to commit because everyone is so tight," he said. "I loved Hattiesburg, everyone seemed to know everybody, and the team just had a family atmosphere that I loved. I realized I'll be welcome with open arms here, and even if football doesn't work out, I'll be really happy about where I went to school."

Jan Nemecek: Persist To Advance
For any society scarred by conflict, developing a future free from the spectres of the past is a challenge at every level. In a country such as Serbia, where the fragility of life and the destruction of community are still recent memories, creative practices can take on added layers of meaning. For some artists, the need to advance rather than merely persist becomes an imperative intertwined with the progression of society.
Jan Nemecek is one such artist. His work as a producer, sound designer and installation artist have set him at the vanguard of Serbian experimental music. His brand new album Fragmented attempts to reassemble particles of sound into a whole that is bigger than the sum of its parts. Jan shares his thoughts on the Serbian scene, how to use simple effects in an experimental way, and offers up his own Effect Racks for you to try it out for yourself.
Can you give us some sort of insight into what it is like being an experimental musician in Serbia?
The scene here is really non-existent because the clans or labels are all doing their own thing, even though they are making the same music. It's a really weird place. And at this point 90% of people are trying to make house. It's the big thing here right now so everyone is being drawn to that. But no one is really unified. It's been like that for many years. Techno was big years ago so everyone did that but everyone had their small production teams; no cross-pollination within a community ever really took off.
Why is it so split up?
It's basically the people here - they have this mentality. One day everyone is together and maybe something will get done, but the next day it's over and everyone is fighting again and not speaking to each other. I really wanted to back away from that. I'm not big on this 'loyal one day, hate the next' thing. This translates musically as well. Now with everyone producing in a house style there's little thought of our history and cultural background and this is unacceptable to me.
Basically, we're closed off genre-wise. There is no proper space to perform experimental music. Up until about a year ago there were no proper collectives doing even slightly experimental music. And the crowds too – it took them quite a while to get used to hearing more exploratory sounds.
These last few months we've seen a gamut of stories about Belgrade in the '90s and the evolution of Serbian electronic music. How do you respond to this, being someone who is actually there making music? Does this mean anything to you?
This whole '90s Serbia clubbing thing has been a media darling for ages. Overseas publications love to write about it because it's a nice story; a war-torn region rife with war criminals, closed off from the world and buying techno vinyl. It's a romantic and seductive story for outsiders.
I'm really quite... not proud, but surprised about the attention that the younger scene is getting. Thanks to festivals like Resonate there has been a lot of coverage of younger artists. You've got Dazed and Confused writing about the footwork scene in Serbia. That's the most amazing thing because footwork started getting more popular here in the last year or two and it's one of the most out-there, fresher sounds that has ever worked here. On the whole it has given me quite a boost to finish my record and keep doing what I'm doing. I'm good friends with those guys, the Teklife crew here, and they're very supportive.
But the older scene, the techno crowd that everyone reads about, they can't accept this. They ask the question "how are these kids more popular than us?" It has been quite a notorious local beef. There was an older techno guy who was all pissed off asking why the Teklife letters were bigger than his on a poster. This is the mentality that a lot of people are still stuck in, so these little changes remain surprising. The media attention is quite a boon, because now people believe that they can really do their own thing and be known internationally. They're not forced into making the same old 4/4 beats.
What was the nature of your involvement in the Line of Sight installation at this year's Resonate Festival? It looks like you were using Live to control signals to direct the lighting rig.
We were using Live as a timeline for this installation. I had a whole array of Max for Live and Ableton patch chains providing semi-random MIDI messages. We made a generative set up for that with Ableton sending all the control signals. I was controlling the lights using some Max for Live utility patches that were able to map any of Live's parameters to light signals. So, for instance you have relationships like the filter cutoff affecting the intensity of the lights. But a lot of it was randomized. Nothing was really preset. All the values, notes and timings changed and shifted each time we played it. So every time we 'perform' the installation it's completely different.
Your sound palette seems to consist of source materials that are modulated so deeply that the original sound is totally obscured...
In the last year or two I started to become really obsessed with distorting and modulating samples so they don't resemble anything near the original thing. On the last album I used a lot of cut up acapellas, but you could still recognise the words. This time I went all out. You know when you're listening to music and everyone has their own subjective opinion? This thought got me obsessing over the tiniest sounds and elements and chord changes. I focussed on manipulating the micro elements of the music – modulating those grains of sounds into something different. Half the tracks don't even have the original sample in them anymore. The original source may be a woman with an acoustic guitar playing into a microphone. It's much more challenging to remix something that has an unsynced pulse and a strange natural ambience.
With this album I became obsessed with fragments - these micro pieces of music - and distorting them beyond recognition. Everything that we listen to today and the way we consume everything is so fragmented. I feel like this is the most appropriate way to try make music. We do everything bite sized. We consume information in little pieces. People are not really used to listening to whole tracks and albums, we listen to snippets. The album is a tongue-in-cheek play on that. I'm taking these snippets and building them into new forms.
For the last year or so I've been obsessed with the Granulator. Granulator originally was technically focussed on processing small bodies of sound. Now, I'm really into feeding whole tracks into the effect. I'd finish a track on the album and then put it back into the Granulator again to see what I can come up with. That was a huge influence on the sound. I started using it more as an improvisational tool, manipulating parameters over a single take and then layering more processing and effects. It's really at the core of the album. Every single track uses the Granulator in some way. It becomes quite apparent if you're familiar with it.
I wanted to use the effect in a more organic, live way because a lot of the tracks have true acoustic sound sources and field recordings. Using a purely digital tool like the Granulator with all these crackles and amp noises from my field recordings and then mixing them into a whole new electro-acoustic thing was a chief goal.
What sort of set-up do you have with your sends? It sounds to me as if there is a chain of channels being routed in and out of each other. It's hard to tell what is modulating what, yet the sonic result still retains an organic tactile feel.
That's the whole thing. That's why I started experimental music. I redid the whole live set and wanted to stop using any quantization. I had a few stems from the album and a lot of fragments from within those stems that I'd trigger purely by feel in a single take. And of course I'm using Granulator live – I'll be playing an original track that is already processed, then resample that into Granulator, find a few grains and send them into Loopers. That's the basis of the improvisation.
Effects wise I'm using one huge chain. The Valhalla Ubermod is a big part of it. It's technically a chorus but I'm using it as a reverb because it has these crazy shifts where it can go from one millisecond to 700 milliseconds in an instant. You get this effect which sounds like tape speeding up and slowing down. It was the most organic way I could do it live. Any other effect that emulates the tape sounds cheesy and horrible to me. I'm also using the Eventide Space because it has a similar effect.
You mean when you change the size of the room?
Yeah exactly. I became obsessed with that effect. Another big thing is using the crossfader on the APC40 to move between dry and wet sounds. This method has a far more natural sound than just turning up a send. You can hear someone turning up a send from a mile off. When you've got the effect turned up to maximum wet already and use the crossfader then the relationship between the original sound source and the effect seems much more cohesive and real.
You explore the extremities of the stereo field in an explicit way. Your productions tend to sound wide, with elements moving left to right, receding and advancing. How do you achieve that constantly moving spatiality?
I'm obsessed with stereo imaging. I love things to be wide and explore the edges. I'm using simple delays, altering the spread on the Granulator, using reverbs with the width maxed out. For turning sounds around I'm using Auto Pan mapped to a controller. Once you control it by hand in this way it stops resembling automatic pan. Traditionally an Auto Pan has a steady rate, moving left to right like a tremolo. When you modulate it manually and play with the phase and rate you get really weird stuff. Plus it sounds organic if a sound is going to a reverb after the Auto Pan effect.
You get into this zone where sounds begin cutting out and if you slow down the rate you get these big whooshes of noise coming in and out. The sounds are moving all the time; you don't know when a huge cloud of noise is going to sift in out of the background. Technically it's very basic but the core suite of Ableton plug-ins is still a lot of fun for me. There is always more to them than meets the eye.

Local wine destinations offer day trips worth a tasting.
For many of us, an autumn drive is often just about the journey, not the destination. In fact, we generally don't need a destination.
But in recent years, a few outstate destinations have popped up to make the journey even more fulfilling.
They're called wineries.
As the nascent Minnesota wine business grows, vintners have tried to make their home bases meccas for travelers from near and far. With alluring tasting rooms, event spaces that provide the ideal backdrop for a wedding or party — not to mention ever-improving wines — they're attracting folks in search of a relaxing afternoon and a taste of "the good life."
We visited three of these wineries, all an hour or two away from the Twin Cities, and found each of them worth the trek in quite different ways.
Chankaska Creek
The place: In just a few years, Kent and Jane Schwickert have crafted an utterly idyllic setting northeast of Mankato. The eponymous creek ("Chankaska" is Sioux for "enclosed forest") courses through the property, with the tasting room, the 19th-century homestead where winemaker Mike Drash lives and vineyards overlooking it.
There are three event spaces on the property, and the tasting room is beautifully appointed without a hint of stuffiness. Jane Schwickert said she culled ideas for the space's design from the couple's extensive Wine Country travels. Just below that is a lovely patio overlooking the creek and featuring a fireplace and perhaps the Upper Midwest's largest Jenga game. Musicians perform there every Friday and Saturday night.
The wines: Chankaska Creek has 1,400 Wine Club members just two years after opening, and with good reason: The wines are stellar.
Chankaska's Marquette Reserve was my favorite wine at last spring's Savor Minnesota event. The 2013 Marquette Estate is going into bottle next month with a price tag of $40. And it is worth every penny, a wine that could be slipped into a Rhône-blend tasting and more than hold its own.
The Petite Colline blend (edelweiss and brianna) is almost as stunning, a lush but minerally mouthful of fruit cocktail.
Whether using West Coast grapes (sauvignon blanc, pinot noir) or cold-climate varieties (La Crescent) or blending the two (the Creekside Red, with Marquette, sangiovese, zinfandel, petite sirah and St. Croix), the results are exemplary.
The lowdown: 1179 E Pearl St., Kasota, Minn. 1-507-931-0089, chankaskawines.com. Opens daily at 11 a.m. through Jan. 3.
The road trip: Take Hwy. 169 to St. Peter and go east on Hwy. 22; go 2 miles and turn left on E. Pearl Street; the winery is on the right.
Four Daughters
The place: The building was a revelation: large and airy, true to the rural farming aspect of this project.

Considering my first Mac purchase
Always (well since they got Intel processors) thought Macs were the best type of pc over Windows, but suck with Windows due to the price.
Now I'm ready to make the switch, but what do I need to know? My pc hasn't given me any trouble,I built it myself and it has 16gb of ram, quad core amd cpu, a decent video card for its time (I built it in January 2009) and still runs well, but I want the best. I was looking at the pro mac, but that price point was too high. Im now considering the iMac or Mac mini. Would I be able to add ram if I buy a smaller installed amount like with my pc? Any advantages to one or the other? How do I run Windows on it for things I can't find on Mac? |

For the mini and 27" iMac, the ram is an easy DIY upgrade and is accessible. I'm not sure the upgrade is possible on the 21" iMac. If it is you would have to rip apart the machine which looks difficult from what I've read.
If you want a Mac with a graphics card, then you should get the iMac. The mini has the HD4000 integrated graphics, which intel says is capable of casual gaming. From what I've read from other forum members, that is probably a stretch, but I don't game or run high end visual media apps so it works great for my everyday usage. I guess another difference is the mini uses laptop components. Not a huge deal, the mini has (2) 2.5" hard disk bays which you can upgrade yourself. I chose an SSD for mine. Also a spec'd out iMac can have a slightly faster processor, but I have found the mobile-based quad core i7 that comes in the mini to be great.

You can run windows either natively through bootcamp allowing you to dual boot windows/osx or through virtualisation using something like vmware fusion/parallels (or a free product like virtualbox). Personally I would buy the fusion drive as the SSD will give a big speed increase over HD speeds while also giving you the storage capacity. Be aware that if you go for the 3TB fusion drive, due to issues with windows not being able to boot from a drive larger than 2.2TB you will have to wait for apple to provide a fix to install under bootcamp or follow one of the unofficial work arounds on these forums. (I am running windows 7 but it is installed on an external thunderbolt SSD drive that I boot from to do it). Virtualisation products work on the 3TB fusion drive without problems but if you still want to game on windows 7/8 you will need to use bootcamp. You should also go for the 27 i5/i7 with the 680mx card as it will give the most power and some future proofing. Also buy the standard minimum memory configuration (8GB) from apple and then buy memory from Crucial to add an extra 16 or replace the existing memory with 32gb. With the 27inch iMac you can add new memory by opening a flap on the back of the screen.

Thanks for the advice Oh why would anyone ever make a computer that you can't upgrade the ram in? That's stupid. So I should target 27" iMac |

I would go the Mini route to be able to upgrade components and you can use your current monitor. Sell your current PC and use the proceeds to finance this purchase.

I was so hyped about the Mini but I decided against it because of the integrated video card. It's just not right. Even a GTM 650 would have been enough. Get the 27" iMac.

Apple is very focused on what is does, it makes the best designed computers for its target market. People that like to tinker with the hardware is not part of its target market. Yes I would go with the 27" iMac and go for one of the fusion drives, as it will make a dramatic difference to startup time and application load times.

But it costs you nothing to make it upgradeable, why purposely remove the feature? Then want to change an arm and a leg for memory |

Because Apple wanted to make the 21" iMac as thin as possible, and to have user Upgradable RAM would have taken more space.

The memory CAN be replaced or upgraded. You have to open the case and some internal components to get to the memory, which is in SO-DIMM sockets on the back side of the main logic board. Apple classes this as "not user serviceable", but a number of users (on this forum and elsewhere) have done it. This article from Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5523 contains this quote: "The memory DIMMs for iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012) computers are not user-accessible. Visit an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider if you need to replace your iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012) computer's DRAM." Apple's recent iMac cases were closed by a combination of magnets and screws. The new cases are held together by double-sided adhesive tape -- NOT glue, and NOT welded as some commenters have incorrectly stated. The tape can be removed and replaced as needed. Apple service people have some special tools and kits of replacement tape that's pre-cut and easy to apply. Other people have used makeshift tools like plastic guitar picks to open the taped joint. The reality is that screws are ancient technology that have some serious drawbacks. Very small screws of the kind that would be needed to hold together these iMac cases aren't cheap (if they are of good quality), they are time-consuming to install and remove, and quite a few screws would be needed to securly hold these heavier, bonded-glass screen assemblies. In contrast, modern adhesive tapes yield a stronger joint at a lower cost. The tape is inexpensive, can be pre-cut to the exact shapes needed, can be applied quickly in the factory or when a system is repaired, and is easy to remove IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TOOL. It just happens that the right tool looks like a small rotary pizza cutter with a plastic blade, instead of a set of tiny screwdrivers. Given that the vast majority of these systems are NEVER opened during their whole lifetime, I think Apple's engineers made a reasonable choice. |

32-Bit FET Bus Switch With Active Clamp Undershoot CircuitThe SN74CBTK32245 device provides 32 bits of high-speed TTL-compatible bus switching. The low on-state resistance of the Switch allows connections to be made with minimal propagation delay.
The A and B ports have an active-clamp undershoot-protection circuit. When there is an undershoot, the active-clamp circuit is enabled and current from VCC is supplied to clamp the output, preventing the pass Transistor from turning on. The device is organized as four 8-bit Bus Switches two 16-bit Bus Switches or one 32-bit bus Switch When output-enable (OE) input is low, the Switch is on and port A is connected to port B. When OE is high, the Switch is open and the high-impedance state exists between the two ports. This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down. By Texas Instruments |

Patrick, Using Tupelo wood, it is alot softer than sugar pine. I am having trouble keeping this photos in proper order, but you get the idea of how things are coming along.
Gary, I love your step by step photos. You are very talented. I can't wait to see the finished product. Are you entering any contests this year?
Amazing job there Gary! I noticed the grain on the Tupelo wood is very coarse. Out of curiosity, would a finer grained wood give better results or is it tougher to carve?
You should see how long it takes him to complete a fish sculpture (inside joke with Gary) In his defense, he does own a business and does get side-tracked on other wood working projects.
Thanks everyone, Richard, Tupelo does have the gum lines that can be a pain, but for the most part it is the most popular carving wood. It carves easy and easy to wood burn. New Tyler, This bird was a class bird I carved last summer, it was Monday through Friday class and we did complete the carving during class....so about 40 hours into the carving. It will take another 30 + hours to do the painting and habitat. Jack is correct, I will post photos of the feather texturing and than wood burning soon. Gene, I am going to be interrupted on this painting as I have to finish another project for a show. Yuhina, Thank you, I am glad you are enjoying this I guess I will have to do a fish ...Huh Gene?
Well yeah, a fish would be great -- but of course you know, I'll have to needle you to complete it if you start slacking off Is there another show this year in Vancouver, WA?
Gary has this tendency to wonder off and work on other projects... he was showing a step by step for a fish sculpture on another site and it must have taken him a danged year to complete! I had to keep needling him to complete the thing...
Gene knows me.... I've been working on 2 other projects, one of them is a minature chukar I just finished. I will post it up later. Here is the last of the carving photos. It is ready for paint. I see at least 3 other projects ahead of the Goldfinch painting so it might be awhile.

Feb 3, 2013
Jan 25, 2013Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch could possibly be the Chrono Trigger of this generation. In the sense of being memorable and as a classic. Great all around.

Jan 28, 2013Rouge Galaxy was one of the best RPGs I ever played which was made by Level 5 and they have done it again .. What a fantastic game! This is clearly the best Jrpg beside Xenoblade .
Jan 23, 2013Did you miss the epic Japanese RPGS of the PS1 PS2 and snes days? then this game is for you, this along whit Xenoblade, valkyria chornicles and Last story are on par whit the best JRPGs of the past and the best WRPGs of today like skyrim or mass effect.

Jan 29, 2013Just an amazing title. It plays to the strength of what JRPGs used to be. It used to be about exploration and incredible characters, not linear wannabe movies. Ni no Kuni is an exceptional game for the PS3, and if you're on the fence, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Jan 29, 2013This game is a treat, it is like a wonderful blend of Pokemon and DragonQuest IX. It has the familiar collecting and evolving of pokemon and the wonderfully campy humor and exploration aspects of DragonQuest IX....wrapped up in a lovely anime movie.
Jan 22, 2013
Oct 20, 2013The best RPG I've played in a long time. Really well done, storyline was excellent. Worth a try. Never get bored with so much to do in the game with sidequests etc.
Jan 28, 2013
Jan 22, 2013amazing! ni no kuni is a true JRPG of new times that gives the genre justice. it gives you a beautiful story and gorgeous visuals all the while giving you a depth game play system. if JRPG's have been on the low as of late, then ni no kuni is one you will want to play to ignite the JRPG flame!
Jan 27, 2013not a fan of these types of games but gave this a shot and so far great game. mature story, simple yet challenging gameplay starts easy but definitely becomes more difficult. 15 hours in. honestly this game will have me try out other games in this genre with out being bias towards them. i say give it a shot and hopefully you enjoy it like i'm doing
Jan 23, 2013
Feb 19, 2013This has got to be the best PS3 JRPG. Story, Graphics, Gameplay, and Voice are all spot on. I hope developers learn something from this and try a little bit more on how things should be done.
Mar 2, 2013A real masterpiece. I love JRPGs, but this one is truly a gem. The story is wonderful, touching, masterfully written and beautifully told. The game is great, ever changing, with a fantastic world to live in. If you love JRPGs or manga/anime you really can't lose this gem. I bought the PS3 only for this. It's gorgeous, it's poetic, it's an unforgettable masterpiece. Thanks Level 5.

Jan 22, 2013Like playing DQ8 all over again, but even better. Such an excellent game. Nice story, balanced battle system, open-world exploration, and classic JRPG feeling (and the option for original Japanese voice acting is always a plus). Highly recommended for every JRPG aficionado.
Jan 22, 2013
Jan 23, 2013Ready for the perfect review? Beautiful art, amazing score, wonderful story, extremely deep battle system and an overall level or charm that is unmatched. I went to bed thinking about the characters, woke up thinking about my "familiars" and I have spent the day counting every moment till I can go home to play some more. If you like RPG's this is a perfect game.
Feb 15, 2013The game is awesome I can't think any bad about this game, maybe the some of the quests are boring (as was in Xenoblade as well) but overall 10/10. This is one of the rare games which made me almost cry and I am 28 years old! The game make me feel like I am back in the good old 90's! Highly recommended for everyone especially for JRPG fans.
Jan 23, 2013If ever there was a perfect game for our time it is this one. I for one am so sick of FPS, as I imagine most other people are right now, that this beautiful JRPG seems even more new and vibrant than it might actually be. The story is good and did I mention the art design is beautiful? Wow, enjoy everybody this is 40 to 100 plus hours of pure heaven for gamers.
Jan 25, 2013This is the best RPG of this generation! Simple saying, it's more than incredible, from the art style, to the combat and story, it's simple amazing and one can put it side-by-side with the most loved RPGs of all time, like Final Fantasy VII and Chrono Trigger. Yes, it's that good!
Feb 16, 2013
Feb 12, 2013Awesome game if ever there was a perfect game for our time it is this one.

Feb 14, 2013Finally! I have waited a very long time through all this generation for a true JRPG! It took so long, but now Ni No Kuni makes me feel like when i played Chrono Cross back in PSOne. It's truly awesome, the gameplay, the plot, the characters, all fits right in place! I'm very happy, there's still hope for the JRPG style!
Mar 21, 2013Must get this game, it is kewllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Jan 22, 2013I must say it is a wonderful storytelling with a nice gameplay never seen in a J-RPG from playstation 3, it makes rememeber the golden era of the J-RPG from psone.
Jan 22, 2013Game is very beautiful, awesome soundtrack, interesting and lengthy side/quests. A wide variety of images and spells. This is Studio Ghibli and that's enough.
Jan 23, 2013
Jan 22, 2013I just want to say than you Studio Ghibli & Level 5 thanks for give us this masterpiece !!!
The colors, the music, the battles, what a wonderful day am having..... -
Jan 22, 2013
Jan 24, 2013When it comes to games, I live and die by RPGs(barring a brief stint as a professional FPS player). I have all the best RPGs for almost every system(xbox360 died a year ago) and can safely say this ranks up there as one of the best of the last decade so far. If you enjoy a touching story, stunningly gorgeous visuals, interesting combat and beautiful music...buy the game with no regrets.
Jan 22, 2013
Jan 22, 2013
Jan 22, 2013Don't believe that for one second that this game is for children! This is a truly beautiful game with an amazing depth of story and combat that will rival all other JRPG'S that have come before it and then expanding upon it! Your eyes, ears, and heart will thank you for playing this game! So, do yourself a favor.
Jan 22, 2013Played the game for about 3 hours now and i can say that it is what i have been looking for. If you like final fantasy and pokemon, then you will love this game. Pokemon + Final Fantasy = AWESOMENESS
Jan 22, 2013
Jan 23, 2013Slow start but picks up nicely. The visuals are so beautiful. I entered a zone and the music had my hair stand up and a shiver ran up my spine. The voice acting could be more professional but overall it is still pretty good. The dialog had me laughing - video games rarely make me laugh.
Jan 24, 2013WOOOOOOOWWW!!!!! a nice experience....... one of the best RPG that i've played...... is interesting that i traveled to my infant years.... thanks level 5 for that experience!!!!
Jan 24, 2013
Jan 24, 2013It's Level 5 and Studio Ghibli. It's fun, lengthy, beautiful and has a score composed by Joe Hisaishi that; in my opinion could be one of the best he has ever composed.
What more do you need to know? -
Jan 24, 2013Made a new account just to say this: I'm in my late 30's and THIS game has the magic that FF VI had when I was young. The way a game used to feel so wondrous when I was young has been missing for years. There is a difference between "childish" and "childlike". When you're mature, you will see that "childlike" is something to run after! Get this game.
Jan 24, 2013
Jan 27, 2013(This is a review for the JAPANESE version of this game.) For everyone learning Japanese and being on the intermediate level, this game is highly recommended. Apart from the superb quality of the game (as lots of others have already pointed out), I have to praise it for using Furigana all the time in the subtitles, making the game very accessible even for pre-JLPT-N2 learners.
Jan 29, 2013
Jan 29, 2013This game is so freaking beautiful! The Sound, the graphics, the gameplay... all of it comes in a fluid and fitting package of awesomeness. I love this game.... really :D
Jan 29, 2013I'm a fan of RPGs, but not a huge fan of J-RPGs but I gave this game a try. The results were very appealing; the cute characters, action packed story, the exploration, familiars, and much more features made this game very enjoyable. Tidy, should I say, a $60 well spent!

Feb 1, 2013Magic game that will most definitly involve you in a dazzling world and beautiful story.
It was a long time since a good jrpg was made, especially for the ps3. If you only chose one rpg to play this year than this is the one! -
Aug 10, 2013
Apr 7, 2013Well, I finally played it, and it is hands down my favorite game I've played this year. I thought Bioshock Infinite would be the high wtarer mark of the year, but NNK just became my favorite. Really takes me back to that sense of wonder and discovery that I havent experienced in many, many years. Wonderful, simple, complex, beautiful, deep, fulfilling.
Feb 6, 2013Just wanted to help raise the current 9.1 that this perfect game sits at. And Arcturus519, you lie in the first few words of your review. You are NOT a fan of the JRPG genre. Not with a review like that. Go back to Elder Scrolls.
Feb 6, 2013In short this game is a masterpeice. The perfect balance of exquisite story telling that pulls you in and grabs your attention and heart strings to make you emotionally involved in the game, making you genuinely care about what happens next. Amazing game mechanics that make your experience smooth and submersive. Do yourself a favour, go lock yourself away for a few days and explore!!!!

May 5, 2013I tend to avoid JRPGs nowadays because they tend to be boring and very tedious. This wonderful game changes that completely. Very solid writing, the best graphics this generation and great gameplay does all the difference.
Jun 5, 2013
Feb 13, 2014First platinated game in my career, a stunning work, a piece of art, the only bad part is the IA, bad bad IA system, not only for foes. but the vote is still 10/10 for me.
Jun 11, 2013Ni No Kuni made up for the latest surge of nasty final fantasy games i usually prefer turn based rpg like FF9 and FF7 however this game manage to make real time strategy work for me and to put the game into terms for people wondering what it is welsh guy pokemon good story replayability def worth 10 and tbh more if i could
Jun 14, 2013Absolutely amazing game. I have never played a jrpg before but this game was amazing. Great story and lots of stuff to do after u beat the game. Easily got overt 100 hours in it.

Jan 27, 2014
Oct 13, 2013Best game I ever played. WONDERFUL Sound, awesome fight system, the story ist just great. And the charakters are just funny and awesome. As a fazit i want to say NI NO KUNI is the best game ever made
Oct 14, 2013
Oct 19, 2013Level 5 outdid itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dec 27, 2013Amazing game! Beautiful graphics, great music and interesting storyline. I'm really happy that you can choose original voice acting in japanese. Love it~!
Jan 2, 2014I'd give this a 9 but thought I should balance out the 0's. The game is great. Like many have stated, the main downside is the terrible human companion AI, but really, it only bothered me slightly.
Love the story, the art style, and the gameplay. Easily in my top 5 JRPG's.
May 6, 2013Ni No Kuni offers players an experience unlike almost any other RPG. At once, you are transported back to the innocence of a childhood filled with monsters, magic, and mysticism; but at the same time you find yourself immersed in an emotional story about a protagonist dealing with his innermost emotions.
Apr 11, 2013The entertaining battles and the resolutions of plot threads as the game progressed toward the final credits were worth paying the cost of a slow start to the gameplay. This is a game that we'll be talking about for years to come, and I'm happy to have played it.
Apr 1, 2013Despite the delayed journey to the West, Ni No Kuni is definitely a title you should at least give a chance. There is a demo up on PSN that you can go ahead and download, and once you get used to the combat system and mechanics of the game, you'll be treated to an adventure like no other.

Student who brought handgun replica to school questioned by police
Booth Memorial High School student was taken into police custody Tuesday morning after allegedly bringing a pellet gun to the St. John's school.
The RNC got the call about 9:45 a.m. from the vice-principal of the school who had been notified by another student that a male student at Booth had a possible weapon.
Schools in the immediate area, including Bishop Abraham Elementary and Bishops College, among others, were notified and put into secure school mode, meaning access was not allowed.
About a dozen RNC officers were sent to the area along with two K-9 units.
At 11 a.m., the RNC said, one K-9 unit found the male in the vicinity of the school. He was immediately taken into custody.
The second K-9 unit found the weapon — a handheld pellet gun — in some bushes at the edge of the Salvation Army building next to Booth.
"It is a replica of a handgun," Const. Steve Curnew told reporters Tuesday morning just before lunch.
Curnew said the matter is still under investigation.
"He's being questioned, so we're unsure what his intentions were with this weapon."
There were no injuries in the incident. Schools were taken off secure mode once the student was in custody.

Fees and Charges in the Caribbean
Hello everyone,
I've tried to skim over many of the posts here and apologize if these questions have already been answered elsewhere.
I'm currently trying to put together a cost estimate for living aboard a 35-40 foot sailboat in the Caribbean, and aside from the usual maintenance and repair costs for the boat, I can't find much info about other kinds of fees and charges to expect.
For instance, registration, insurance, internet connections, licensing, property taxes, moorage fees (or slip fees, but I don't want to spend much time in a slip).
Also, I'm not sure about the whole process of sailing into a different country, and what needs to be done or how much it costs.
The question of insurance is important too. I'm looking at buying a boat that is likely to be over 20 years old. Is insurance even available for older boats? Do I need to have a land based address to get insurance? And do I need to have insurance in order to get the boat hauled out and the bottom re-painted - or any other kind of work done on it? Do I need insurance just to fill the fuel and water tanks?
Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Annual Fab Fem fundraiser on the horizon
Staff at the Fort Garry Women's Resource Centre are busy preparing for their annual fundraiser.
The fourth annual Fab Fem fundraiser will take place Wed., Feb. 20 at the West End Cultural Centre.
The event celebrates the artistic contributions of women to the community.
Colleen Stratman, the centre's public education co-ordinator, said this year's event will be extra special as it's also the centre's 30th anniversary celebration.
Stratman said the annual event is especially important as it's the centre's only "big" fundraiser.
"It's our one major fundraiser that we do each year. A lot of work goes into it, and it raises funds to be able to continue offering free support services to women and children," Stratman said.
"It's very important."
This year's list of performers includes local music icon Romi Mayes and rising star Emma Cloney.
Mayes is a Juno-nominated rock musician who has shared the stage with the likes of Derek Trucks, Levon Helm, Corb Lund and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings.
Stratman said event organizers aim to attract top-notch Winnipeg musicians each year.
"We typically have always chosen people who've been local. We like to have someone who is a little bit more well-known, and (someone who is) a little bit more up and coming," she said.
Stratman said ticket prices have been set at $20 each to encourage everyone to attend the fundraiser.
"We try to (make it) so everyone would be able (to afford) to come," she said. "The $20 makes it so more people will be able to."
Stratman stressed that even though the fundraiser is in support of a women's centre, it's not a women's-only event.
"It's not. Everyone is welcome," Stratman assured.
To purchase tickets to the event call 477-1123. For more information go to FGWRC's website at fgwrc.ca.

Magellanic Clouds
The two Magellanic Clouds (or Nubeculae Magellani[2]) are a duo of irregular dwarf galaxies visible from the southern hemisphere, which are members of our Local Group and may be orbiting our Milky Way galaxy.[3] Because they both show signs of a bar structure, they are often reclassified as Magellanic spiral galaxies. The two galaxies are:
- Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)
- Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)
The Magellanic Clouds were known to the Polynesians and served as important navigation markers. Collectively they were known to Māori of New Zealand as Nga Patari-Kaihau or as Te Reporepo and were also used as predictors of winds.
The Magellanic Clouds have been known since the first millennium in Western Asia. The first preserved mention of the Large Magellanic Cloud is by the Persian astronomer Al Sufi.[4][5] In 964, in his Book of Fixed Stars, he called it al-Bakr ("the Sheep") "of the southern Arabs"; he noted that the Cloud is not visible from northern Arabia and Baghdad, but can be seen at the strait of Bab el Mandeb (12°15' N), which is the southernmost point of Arabia.[2]
In Europe, the Clouds were first observed by Italian explorers Peter Martyr d'Anghiera and Andrea Corsali at the end of the 15th century. Subsequently, they were reported by Antonio Pigafetta, who accompanied the expedition of Ferdinand Magellan on its circumnavigation of the world in 1519–1522.[2] However, naming the clouds after Magellan did not become widespread until much later. In Bayer's Uranometria they are designated as nubecula major and nubecula minor.[6] In the 1756 star map of the French astronomer Lacaille, they are designated as le Grand Nuage and le Petit Nuage ("the Large Cloud" and "the Small Cloud").[7]
In Sri Lanka, from ancient times, these clouds have been referred to as the Maha Mera Paruwathaya meaning "the great mountain", as they look like the peaks of a distant mountain range.
The Large Magellanic Cloud and its neighbour and relative, the Small Magellanic Cloud, are conspicuous objects in the southern hemisphere, looking like separated pieces of the Milky Way to the naked eye. Roughly 21° apart in the night sky, the true distance between them is roughly 75,000 light-years. Until the discovery of the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy in 1994, they were the closest known galaxies to our own. The LMC lies about 160,000 light years away,[8][9][10][11] while the SMC is around 200,000.[12] The LMC is about twice the diameter of the SMC (14,000 ly and 7,000 ly respectively). For comparison, the Milky Way is about 100,000 ly across.
Astronomers have long believed that the Magellanic Clouds have orbited the Milky Way at approximately their current distances, but evidence suggests that it is rare for them to come as close to the Milky Way as they are now.[13] Observation and theoretical evidence suggest that the Magellanic Clouds have both been greatly distorted by tidal interaction with the Milky Way as they travel close to it. Streams of neutral hydrogen connect them to the Milky Way and to each other, and both resemble disrupted barred spiral galaxies.[14] Their gravity has affected the Milky Way as well, distorting the outer parts of the galactic disk.
Aside from their different structure and lower mass, they differ from our Galaxy in two major ways. First, they are gas-rich; a higher fraction of their mass is hydrogen and helium compared to the Milky Way.[15] They are also more metal-poor than the Milky Way; the youngest stars in the LMC and SMC have a metallicity of 0.5 and 0.25 times solar, respectively.[16] Both are noted for their nebulae and young stellar populations, but as in our own Galaxy their stars range from the very young to the very old, indicating a long stellar formation history (Chaisson and McMillan).
The Large Magellanic Cloud was host galaxy to a supernova (SN 1987A), the brightest observed in over four centuries.
Announced in 2006, measurements with the Hubble Space Telescope suggest the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds may be moving too fast to be long term companions of the Milky Way.[17]
Mini Magellanic Cloud (MMC)[edit]
It has been proposed by astrophysicists D. S. Mathewson, V. L. Ford and N. Visvanathan that the SMC may in fact be split in two, with a smaller section of this galaxy behind the main part of the SMC (as seen from our perspective), and separated by about 30,000 ly. They suggest the reason for this is due to a past interaction with the LMC splitting the SMC, and that the two sections are still moving apart. They have dubbed this smaller remnant the Mini Magellanic Cloud.[18][19]

Editors' Review
+Sunrise Calendar is a beautiful tool that can simplify tracking and viewing your daily tasks, and integrates multiple calendar applications into a single, easy-to-use interface. Upon installation, you'll be asked to log in to your Facebook account, which mostly just adds birthdays to your calendar. After setup, however, you can log in to your Google account and your LinkedIn account. In fact, it is highly recommended that you add a Google Calendar so you can set up new calendars and add events. Most of the app's functions don't work without an integrated Google Calendar.
Importing your calendar events doesn't take very long (only a few moments) and once they are entered into Sunrise Calendar you can view, edit, and update them quickly. There are plenty of calendar apps, though, so what makes Sunrise so compelling? It's the design. At the top are two rows from your calendar showing the next two weeks. You can tap any day to scroll to that day's events immediately, or you can scroll through your list of tasks and events and the calendar at the top will scroll with you. On each day you'll see the events for that day, each with a small icon representing the type of event -- gift boxes for birthdays, chat bubbles for meetings, check boxes for tasks, and so on. The app is very good at assigning the right icon for each event and the events are easy to read in this format.
You can easily choose which calendars are visible from the settings menu, set which events will send you notifications, and even choose whether to use Apple Maps or Google Maps for directions for an event. The developers have thought of nearly everything and the app is completely free, with no paid upgrades required to unlock extra features. This is one of the best calendar apps we have tested from the App Store and will probably keep getting better as it is further developed.
Publisher's Description
+Sunrise is a free calendar app made for Google Calendar users. Designed with love, Sunrise is a new experience that will make your life easier.
