We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
Lots of prayers for Joey's recovery. People are sick!! I pray that whoever did this gets caught and have their neck broken!

I'm sadden to say that people are so cold hearted and cruel to these beautiful creatures who do nothing but make our lives happy. How could people do such a thing as to hurt an animal so badly, especially a puppy. These people need to be punished because clearly they don't have a heart.
Hang in there, Joey. Not all humans are this disgusting and stupid. Some of us are really good dog parents. I'll say prayers for you. And hope when these people are found that their punishment should equal yours - put them in a bag and throw them from a fast moving vehicle. See how they like it.
I can't believe that some people can be that way, especially toward a defenseless puppy. That just confirms my stance that I would rather spend time with most dogs, that most people.
My prayers for you cute Joey that you get well soon!And keeping my fingers crossed that the retarded is arrested ASAP!!!
Similar thing happened near Chicago on Mothers Day. We found a kitten on the tollway that had been thrown out of a moving vehicle. I saw him as he was tumbling under an SUV going 70 mph. People ARE just stupid.
What is wrong with people?! Lots of love and prayers to Joey. Poor little guy.
Bless you Joey. Don' t worry GOD will surely punish the beast who did this to you. I hope you will recover fast. God bless the ASCPA!!!

The New Bern Bears wanted to emphasize the passing game.
They've proved, through the first five games, that they can run the football.
Until their showdown with C.B. Aycock on Friday, the Bears haven't had a breakout performance through the air.
Quarterback Michael Hughes connected on touchdown passes to four different receivers as the Bears coasted to an easy 72-7 win over C.B. Aycock at Caruso-Coates Stadium.
New Bern, winners of four straight, scored a school record in points, and set a record for most points in a quarter.
"That's what we saw all summer," New Bern coach Bobby Curlings said. "Going into the season, I really thought our passing game was going to be what gets us going.
"We have a phenomenal group of receivers and a quarterback who can get it to them. Tonight, (C.B. Aycock) decided to take away the run, so we worked on our passing game."
Hughes completed his first 10 passes for 190 yards with first-quarter touchdown passes to Diondre Pool, Theron Noble, Khalil Simpson and Deauntae Grimes.
"We saw that they had one safety high and we just took what they gave us," Hughes said. "I made the right reads and the guys made some great catches."
The Bears took a commanding 28-0 lead before C.B. Aycock finally scored on a 1-yard run by Neil Clark with 2:26 remaining in the first quarter.
On the ensuing kick, Simpson added to New Bern's advantage with a 70-yard kickoff return.
The Bears built a 42-7 cushion after one quarter and a 51-7 advantage at halftime.
Hughes threw for 247 yards on 13-of-15 passing all in the first half. He ran for 56 yards and a touchdown.
"Mike is a great athlete," Grimes said. "With him drawing so much attention, it gets us open. He does a good job passing the ball, as well as running.
"First, we had to develop the run game. After we developed the run game, we've been starting to work on our pass game."
Cody Purdie, the team's leading rusher, gained 60 yards on seven carries. He scored on a 36-yard touchdown run in the third.
Grimes caught a 25-yard touchdown and found the end zone of a 72-yard run.
"We have more than one person that can score," Grimes said. "They can't just key on one person on our offense. We have so many weapons."
New Bern (4-2) forced four turnovers (two fumbles, two interceptions). Terrell Fisher stepped in front of C.B. Aycock's first pass attempt and ran it back for a score.
Felix Fisher also picked off a pass.
C.B. Aycock was limited to 104 yards of offense, while New Bern gained 509 yards.
Four Bears – Grimes, Leauntae Grimes, Noble and Simpson – all had more than 50 receiving yards.
"We challenge the kids each and every week, no matter who we are playing," Curlings said. "It's all about us to play fast and to play physical.
"That's what we came out and did."
New Bern travels to Eastern Wayne next week.

1. Which all browsers support Malayalam dynamic fonts?
The Manorama Online site is using dynamic fonts and hence, it is not necessary to download the fonts for specific browsers.
Browsers that support Manorama Online site with dynamic fonts are Internet Explorer 5.5 or above for Windows and Netscape 4.x (Windows, Macintosh, Unix).
Note that Internet Explorer for Macintosh and Netscape 6 and 7 for any operating system do not currently support dynamic fonts.
Download font for PC
Download font for Mac
2. I am not able to print the Manorama Online site. Why?
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows does not fully support dynamic fonts for printing. When you try to print or print preview pages using Web fonts from Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows, you do not get the dynamic font in the print preview or on printout. It appears that Internet Explorer dynamically rebuilds the page on the fly, stripping out the Web font tags. This prevents the dynamic fonts from printing.
To print dynamic fonts in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 for Windows, click the print icon on the toolbar. Do not choose File > Print.
3. Why is the site appearing with junk characters?
a)Check your browser version. Make sure you are using Internet Explorer 5.5 and above (Windows) or Netscape 4.x (Windows, Macintosh, Unix) to view dynamic fonts. For all other browser and operating system, please download the font by clicking on the below links and copy to your fonts directory (For Windows, got to Start -> Control Panel -> Fonts)
b)Change the document encoding settings to 'User Defined' and reload the site.
On Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, right click the mouse button, choose Encoding and then choose User Defined from the list.
On the Netscape View menu, choose Character Set/Encoding and choose User Defined
c)However, some users may have problems with the font due to some configuration issues or due to poor connectivity. Sometimes just pressing 'refresh' works.
If the problem persists, follow the below steps.
Step 1. Remove any fonts ('Mano.ttf') that you may have previously downloaded. Go To Start - Control Panel - Fonts - Remove fonts.
Step 2. Download Font (by clicking on the above links) and save in your Fonts directory. (For Windows, got to Start -> Control Panel -> Fonts)
Manorama Online currently supports Internet Explorer 5.5 and above, Netscape 6.0 and above, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari (Macintosh). We are working towards extending this support
Download font for PC> <Download font for MAC>
A simple browser setting could do the job for you in most cases. Go to View Menu-->Charecter encoding/encoding option of the browser.Select Western(ISO-8859-1) .
Manually download the Manorama.ttf font by clicking on the below link. <Download Font>Copy the font to your Fonts directory (usually /usr/share/fonts). You need to login as the root user to perform this operation.
Rebootthe system.
If you do not have the root permission, please do the following steps.
Copy the Manorama.ttf font to a directory.
Change to that direcroty and run the following commands.
Run ttmkfdir > fonts.dir Run ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp+ <font directory> /usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp rehash Open the browser and change the character encoding to User Defined
Please click your Browser's "Reload" or "Refresh" toolbar button
You can use the keyboard help in the top of the compose window and click on the required characters
No. You spell the word in English and type it using your present keyboard and Manorama Online displays the same word in Malayalam.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan

I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Happiest of birthdays to Southerngardens: you make a very nice addition to our board, staying interested and honest at that. Your enthusiasm is catching, really.
PL, no, not excema, I am just very dry and alcohol-based Purell we have to wear regularly because of the flu at the care center, eats my skin alive. Same with shades, I am sure. I also wear Udder Balm, it works for me.

Yes, Twolf, udder balm is fantastic! Glad you don't have the nasty excema; dry skin is difficult enough. My hands were in water and hand sanitizer all day long when I worked and now that I don't, it seems they still are. I sympathize my dear.
I'm in Elixir Lumiere Noire today. Hugs to all!

lucasai - I love that Jo Malone scent. I usually avoid lactonic/milky scents but that one just conveys the smell of warm sweet milk perfectly, doesn't it?
Happy Birthday southerngardens! - I must agree with TWolf, you've made a nice impression here on Basenotes - a wonderful new addition to this fragrant bunch. Hope to see you around for a while.
I woke up craving the smell of this, so I just had to wear it:

Re: dry hands, I get them too! Cooking, dishes, laundry...I'm always washing my hands. I've used many good creams over the years but will mention one that I bought in September at an area craft fair, which I like enough that I am going to call to re-order a jar now that I am running low. It's a little jar (1/2 ounce I think) but a little goes a long way and it only cost $5. I put it on my hands before bed each night.
Here is an article about the couple who make and sell the cream, with their phone number:
The Honeycomb Hand Cream comes in various scents (I bought Lavender) but these fade fast and soon you just have the lovely beeswax/lanolin scent. Ingredients are simple: Water, Lanolin, Pure Beeswax, Mineral and Fragrant Oils, Sodium Borate.

Very cool pictures, Whitefluffy! Thanks so much for posting them.
Wearing Ava Luxe Madeline this afternoon. I really like this one, which is so strange because when I first got it in 2010, I almost gave it away. It was harsh and wasn't what I expected. I don't know what happened to it in the last 2 years, but now it's amazing. I need to change the rating again, it was a 2 for me initially, now it's a 4, a very nice surprise.
Happy Birthday, Southerngardens!
Hugs for Mike, for Twolf, for anyone who needs one.
I wish I could cure all the aches you good folks are suffering with right now--
hands and feet, knees and jaws.
Whitefluffy, thank you for the photos. They took me to a place I've never been.

A second sampling of L'Heure de Nuit. I give it a B+. It's more deserving of the name L'Heure Bleue Délicate, as it's a gentle Bleue rather than a nighttime Bleue. Has someone else already said that?

I'm wearing Etro Ambra today ... still craving amber I guess. My jaw is better, thanks eveyone. Can't believe how rough a little TM joint can make one feel.
Loved the pictures, Whitefluffy! The area is quite beautiful in a sparse, austere way, no?
Happy birthday, southerngardens

Good evening everyone, and very happy birthday to southerngardens
Neil Morris City Rain today, and yesterday his too, the end of the Woodland Strawberry...I let my kids smell it at the end of the day and they were so impressed, they love that one but only after it's had time to develop on the skin. It really is very nice.
Late to the party, but have a wonderful birthday southerngardens!
Been sampling:
Frapin Esprit de Fleurs settled down to a vague skin scent in under two minutes - not bad, lightly powdered floral, like wearing bath powder, good for the office, pretty. Would probably be very versatile;
A Christmas Carol: The Second of Three Spirits by BPAL. It was like walking around in Gingerbread. Acck!
Hoyt's Cologne
Nice pictures, Whitefluffy. We went there in 2007, enjoyed the trip very much. And no, I am not the one for camping, I sleep like a Princess on a Pea, so we stayed in a motel. Wonderful fragrances, too.
I have changed for the evening: as reminded by someone, it is Royalissime by Henri d'Orleans.

Amazing Getaway
Visited with my husband and our dog for an extended holiday weekend. The cottage was an incredible retreat from the city. Gabrielle was a wonderful host and supplied us with some delicious goodies, including fresh eggs from her hens and a bottle of wine from her vineyard. The cottage felt very private and the interior was warmly decorated. The views from the deck and windows were lovely. We would definitely like to return soon (and often).

Craven County Schools could get a calendar waiver from the legislature by its self-imposed March 15 deadline under a local bill recently introduced by N.C. Rep. Michael Speciale, R-Craven.
If granted, the waiver would allow the school system to put all of its schools — traditional, year-round and Early College — on a single modified calendar for the 2013-14 school year.
The school board has said if lawmakers don't act on its request by March 15, the Craven system would wait a year to try again.
Speciale, with Rep. George Graham, D-Lenoir, and Rep. John Bell, R-Wayne, as co-sponsors, filed the bill on Valentine's Day.
Speciale said the bill satisfies both the Craven County Board of Education's request and his personal conviction that "the government closest to the people is the one that governs best."
Speciale said that Craven County Schools Superintendent Lane Mills visited him about the proposal to put the school system on one modified calendar, which would have classes starting for all public schools on Aug. 5 and dismissing on May 23.
"It's not about whether I agree with what the school board is doing, but that I agree the school board is the one that should be setting the schedule," Speciale said. "If the people don't agree with the decision, that's who they should get a hold of. I don't believe the state should ever have been in scheduling to begin with."
The school board voted last November to request a waiver from the state-imposed calendar requirement that traditional schools begin no earlier than Aug. 25 and dismiss no later than June 10.
"We want to consolidate our year-round, Early College and traditional school year calendars and use just one," said Linda Thomas, Craven school board vice chairman. "The Early College calendar is sort of a compromise and really the best of all worlds. It is a modified calendar that works in conjunction and corresponds to community college and traditional college schedules. We feel like at the present time it is best to get the whole county on one calendar."
Thomas also said that when the year-round calendar was implemented years ago, "it was to accommodate remediation and enrichment and we no longer have the funding to support that, so it's not working for us now, and families have to deal with as many as three different schedules."
"Unless you have a waiver, you have to go under the state calendar," she said.
There already is precedent for calendar waivers: Many mountain school systems get them because of weather.
"There will be others who tag onto this bill," Speciale said. "There are already 16 sponsors and there will be others."
But he said the school board "should have their dancing shoes on because they'll have to answer some questions. I was getting emails before I knew what was going on."
Even if the bill passes in the House, a similar bill would have to be introduced and passed in the Senate. Sen. Norm Sanderson, R-Pamlico, said he may introduce a school calendar waiver bill in the Senate, but only if he thinks it will pass.
"That was a very contentious issue when they put it in initially, from what I understand, and there is not a lot of excitement about having to go through that again," Sanderson said of the school calendar issue.
"If we do go in that direction, I don't think the bill will be as open ended as the House bill," Sanderson said. "It will only ask for a waiver to do the Early College dates and get exams before Christmas."
Speciale said one problem that could arise from a change is that "teachers going for year-round will end up going a month without a paycheck under the proposed schedule. I think they are going to discuss that at the next board meeting."
The Craven Board of Education is scheduled to meet at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday for its work session, and Thomas said discussion is expected on the waiver and any related problems it could generate.
She said the system's assistant superintendent for finance "is working on that for us to come up with a solution in the best interest of our year-round teachers."
Craven County Schools operated under a calendar similar to the one now proposed for 2013-14 until the General Assembly passed legislation in 2004 to take school calendar choices away from local boards. The decision followed a "Save Our Summers" campaign by parents' groups and the state's travel and tourism industry.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, September 8, 7:30 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Qualcomm Stadium (54.000) -- San Diego, California. Television: NBCSN. Home Record: Army 0-0, SDSU 0-0. Away Record: Army 0-0, SDSU 0-1. Neutral Record: Army 0-0, SDSU 0-0. Conference Record: Army 0-0, SDSU 0-0. Series Record: San Diego State leads, 1-0.
GAME NOTES: The 123rd season of Army football kicks off this weekend at Qualcomm Stadium, as the Black Knights make the trip across the continent to challenge the San Diego State Aztecs.
Landing on the West Coast for the first time since 1995 when they tangled with Washington, this is the first game for the Academy in the Golden State since the squad took their battle with Navy on the road to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Army hopes the change of scenery will also bring about a change in final results since the program dropped four straight to close out last season.
Army, which competes as an FBS Independent, won a total of three games in 12 opportunities in 2011, one of those coming against Fordham by a score of 55-0 which served to help bolster some of the team's stats.
As for the Aztecs, members of the Mountain West Conference, they've already gotten their schedule off the ground, but not in a good way as they bowed to Washington on the road last Saturday night, 21-12. San Diego State, which was 8-4 during the regular season last year, suffered a 32-30 setback in the postseason versus Louisiana, which means the squad is attempting to snap a two-game slide this weekend.
SDSU won the only previous meeting between these two squads by a score of 23-20 last season.
Known primarily as a running team, Army proved it for sure last season when the squad set a program record with a staggering 4,158 yards, marking the first time in history the team had eclipsed the 4,000-yard mark. Needless to say, the Academy led the nation in rushing last season with an average of 346.5 ypg.
Coming back to try and surpass last year's efforts is running back Raymond Maples, who finished with 1,066 yards in 2011, ninth-most in school history. Even more remarkable is the fact that Maples averaged a monumental 7.3 yards per carry, which is the most in school history for any running back with at least 100 carries.
Now a senior, Trent Steelman has a chance to become the winningest quarterback for the program since 1963, already having posted 14 victories entering 2012. Steelman, who was second on the team last year with 645 yards rushing and tops with 12 TDs on the ground, is more of a field general than he is a passer, just like so many QBs who make their home with one of the service academies.
Steelman threw for just 424 yards and three touchdowns in 2011, so it should come as little surprise that Army was last in the nation in that department with a meager 50.4 ypg through the air.
From a defensive standpoint, the Knights have had a tough time building a group that can get after opponents, particularly at the line of scrimmage. A year ago the squad struggled to get a strong push in the trenches which is why they were 100th in the country in stopping the run, allowing 194.9 ypg and 106th in tackles for loss with only 4.4 per outing.
If not for the late October meeting against Fordham when the Knights held the Rams to a mere 88 total yards, the numbers would have been even worse for Army.
Many of the defensive starters listed for Army in this game are upperclassmen, although there are a couple of sophomores checking in at linebacker spots so that might be a vulnerable spot for the group.
Luckily for the Black Knights, this is not the same SDSU team that hit the field last season because if it were the Academy would have its hands full trying to stop both the run and the pass. While it has been just one game, SDSU's passing attack was nothing all that special against Washington last week when new quarterback Ryan Katz converted just 10-of-19 passes for 128 yards and a single score. Katz, who has the unenviable task of taking over for Ryan Lindley, was picked off once and sacked four times which brought the entire team's rushing total down to 199 yards.
Katz was second on the unit with 77 yards on the ground, trailing only Walter Kazee who produced 86 yards on nine carries, but it still wasn't nearly enough to even the playing field. It also didn't help that the Huskies scored one of their three touchdowns off a fumble which was returned 44 yards to the end zone.
Turnover margin was something that always seemed to favor the Aztecs a year ago when they tied for ninth in the nation with a plus-0.92 turnovers per contest, but against Washington the team came out on the wrong side of that department.
If looking for a bright spot for the SDSU defense last week, the team did log 10.0 TFL and while that pace probably won't be upheld for the entire season, it is still a positive sign for the group.
Army, which has dropped seven straight games away from West Point and hasn't won a game in the state of California since 1979 (Stanford, 17-13), figures to have some issues kicking off the new season on a positive note as well.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: San Diego State 31, Army 14

Bunce Homebuilt Replica of a Curtiss Pusher
This Curtiss-type pusher was built and flown by 17 year old Howard S. Bunce of Berlin, CT. Obsessed with the desire to fly, Bunce would go wherever he could find a Curtiss pusher airplane, make sketches, then go home and make parts until he had assembled an airplane. He could not afford a Curtiss engine but used a 4-cylinder air-cooled engine constructed by Nels J. Nelson of New Britain, CT. Bunce made several attempts to fly his airplane, but according to his brother none were really successful. He could get it a few feet off the ground but did not have enough power to really fly. After crashing at the Berlin Fair Ground race track he used some remaining parts and built a second airplane. It was finally dismantled and stored in the barn on the family farm.
It was rediscovered in 1962. The surviving parts have been reconstructed into the airplane on display. The propulsion system and control surfaces are not original to the airplane. A 30 HP Kemp I-4 engine has been substituted for the missing home-built Nelson engine.
This is believed to be the oldest surviving Connecticut-built airplane.

Pronation Suitability
Neutral - Over Pronate
- Under
- Neutral
- Over
- Severe
Pronation is how a runner's foot rolls medially between footfall and toe-off. Underpronation is when the foot rolls outwards, overpronation is when it rolls inwards, and a neutral pattern is when little rolling occurs.
Matching a shoe's properties with the runner's running style will increase comfort, running efficiency, and contribute to decreasing the risk of injury.
Elite ASICS Athlete Alysia Montano shows off the newest addition to our ASICS Natural33 Footwear: the GEL-Super J33. Run in the GEL-Kayano or the GT-1000 or GT-2000 series? You'll love mixing the GEL-Super J33 into your running repertoire. The GEL-Super J33's FluidAxis technology is tailor-made for overpronators - maintaining support while keeping its weight extremely low. This makes it perfect for mixing in speed training and more dynamic workouts into your standard distance running regime.
ASICS Natural33 Shoes are based on the well-accepted tenet that the body tends to react positively to multiple types of stimuli. When coupling Natural33 footwear with your more conventional/structured running shoes, you are "mixing the signals," and effectively Mixing Up Your Run. Elite running coach Andrew Kastor discusses how our Mix Up Your Run concept can help you improve yourself -- whether you're a seasoned competitive runner, or simply running to stay in shape.

"Understanding the true causes of human behavior does not leave any room for the traditional notion of free will. But this shouldn't depress us, or tempt us to go off our diets. Diligence and wisdom still yield better results than sloth and stupidity. And, in psychologically healthy adults, understanding the illusoriness of free will should make divisive feelings such as pride and hatred a little less compelling. While it's conceivable that someone, somewhere, might be made worse off by dispensing with the illusion of free will, I think that on balance, it could only produce a more compassionate, equitable, and sane society."

I do not believe that there is such a thing as free will.
But If free will doesn't exist, one cannot choose to live without believing in it.
If one truly factors free will out of human behavior, it is pointless to discuss how they might be improved by its absence.
It is impossible to discuss how things would be without something that doesn't exist.
It would be like trying to figure out how life would be without gods or angels.
The desire to create a more compassionate, equitable and sane society by understanding that there is no free will makes the assumption that there is such a thing as free will.
If Sam's brain drops the illusion of free will, it has to give it up all the way.
Do you think Sam reads any of these responses?

The mission of the Finance Department is to ensure that all resources of the City of Montpelier are managed and accounted for in an effective and efficient manner, that all financial records are presented in a timely, accurate and meaningful format and that all staff members work toward continuous improvement and professional service.
The Montpelier Finance Department is responsible for maintaining the accounting, payroll, payables, insurance and billing programs for the City of Montpelier. The Finance Department provides regular financial information to Department Heads, the City Manager, the Council and residents. Our department prepares the annual City budget, manages human resources and coordinates the annual audit. The Finance Department also oversees all grant activities to assure proper use and reporting of grant funds.
Many reports are available on the City's web site.
Budget information can be found online at:
The City of Montpelier Annual Audit can be found online at:
Employment Agreements can be found online at:
Periodically Released Financial Data (Voucher listings, etc.) can be found at:
The City of Montpelier has 22 active funds, 10 departments and 4 labor contracts/employee plans. Montpelier has $59 million dollars invested in capital assets financed by 41 loans that total $23 million dollars. The annual operating budgets for the City's governmental and business-type activities total $18 million dollars. Our Chart of Accounts has over 2200 accounts which is an indication of the complexity of our financial structure.
Our department is completing a major reorganization which began in 2011 when the city treasurer position became an appointed rather than elected position. We are combining the treasurer functions with the finance department to increase efficiencies and strengthen financial controls. Charlotte Hoyt, Clerk/Treasurer for many years, retired from the city clerk position in March, 2012. Charlotte returned to city employment in August, 2012 in a part-time finance position which also includes staying on the appointed city treasurer. Charlotte's historical knowledge is important to the success of our department's restructuring. In addition to the reorganization, Sharon Blatchford, our Payroll and HR Manager, helps us achieve our goal to strengthen our human resource services as recommended in the Matrix Management Study.
During 2012, our department also benefitted from another employee retirement. Beverlee Hill, previously the Assistant City Manager and Delinquent Tax Collector, retired in June 2012 and returned to city employment as a part-time tax collector and assistant to the City Manager.
Looking ahead, the City's District Heating Project will be completed in the late fall of 2013. Our department will transition from grant management to fiscal management of this new city utility fund.
At this time the department relies on a Senior Staff Accountant, Ruth Dockter and Accounting Manager, Kristine Morande to oversee the daily financial activity and responsibilities of the department. Loretta Bresette, Billing Clerk and Peggy Bolduc, Accounting Clerk have new job descriptions and successfully transitioned to the Finance Office. Fred Skeels, Information Technology & Communication Manager works with a Technology Technician, to maintain the citywide computer, network and telephone technology services.
During my six years as the City's Finance Director, the City faced many financial challenges as we strive to minimize the effects of ever- increasing operating and infrastructure costs, unfunded state and federal regulations, and the extremes of Vermont's weather. The flood damages to the City's streets and wastewater treatment plant caused by the May 27, 2011 storm and Hurricane Irene totaled over $2,000,000. The combination of a slow-growing economy, little growth in the City's grand list and our relatively high property tax rates has resulted in decisions to differ capital improvements, maintenance and equipment replacement. Constant efforts are required to manage the cost of employee benefits and come up with a multi-year plan to fund improvements to our aging roads, drainage systems, buildings, sewer and water infrastructure.
Our city staff actively pursues state and federal grants to help pay for weather-related damages, new programs, equipment replacement and capital improvement projects. In FY12, the City expended more than $3.8 million in grant funds on 26 federal and state grant awards. Our efforts to maximize non-property tax revenue and carefully manage expenditures become increasingly important as the City faces the financial challenges ahead.
I appreciate the support that the Finance Department receives from the City Councilors, William Fraser, City Manager and other members of the City's management team. Our office is located in City Hall and is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. We welcome city residents' questions, comments and concerns. If I can be of service, do not hesitate to call me at the office (262-6253) or e- mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Customer Raves & Reviews
excellent experience
Customizing my card was super easy, and placing my order was very simple too. My order arrived on time and was perfect!
Elegant Save the Dates
My fiance and I went to a number of invitation shops and received quotes for Save the Dates and Invitation suites for 50-75 guests in the price range of $1,500-$3,000. Ridiculous. We went to MagnetStreet. We worked with their designers and were able to modify a design and make it our own. We were able to order samples to see and feel our design before placing and paying for our full order. Our Save the Dates are beautiful!! We used the Pearl Luxe paper. It has a beautiful sheen and feel, and the paper weight is great. The quality and service is unbeatable. And, I know because I tried working with the pricey invitation designers. They were slow and ridiculously over-priced. Using MagnetStreet will allow us to personally design our own Save the Date and Invitation suite for less than $500. Leaving us an extra $1,000-$2,500 in the budget to go towards other wedding costs. I highly recommend MagnetStreet for quality, service, and promptness - 3 of the most important things to a Bride while wedding planning. Thank you MagnetStreet!
Our Save the Dates came out perfectly. Once I figured out how to create them on the website it was smooth sailing. I called to find out our order status and someone answered after 2 rings. They were extremely helpful and told me that every order is reviewed for errors and to make sure everything looks right before printing. We received our cards wrapped in a box. They looked better in person on a thick stock paper. You receive a book with invitation options and a discount. . . we will absolutely be ordering our wedding invites

|All Children's President & CEO Gary Carnes Announces Retirement; Physician-In-Chief & Vice Dean Jonathan Ellen, M.D. Named Interim President
All Children's President & CEO Gary Carnes Announces Retirement
Jan. 19, 2012 (St. Petersburg, FL) After a leadership tenure of fifteen years, Gary A. Carnes will be retiring as president and CEO of All Children's Hospital, with an anticipated effective date of February 29, 2012.
"All Children's Hospital is poised to realize its long-held vision of becoming a national and international leader in pediatric treatment, education and research, thanks in large part to the tireless efforts of Gary Carnes," says Jack Kirkland, Chairman of the Board of All Children's Hospital. "He has brought us to a seminal moment in the transformation of All Children's into a leading academic medical center for pediatrics, and our challenge now is to find a leader to build on our momentum as we move toward this shared goal."
Under Mr. Carnes' leadership, All Children's Hospital extended its reach throughout the state of Florida and the Southeast, forged world-class alliances, built a state-of-the-art pediatric hospital and outpatient facility, assembled a top-notch multispecialty physician group, and became a recognized center for innovation and excellence in pediatric treatment, education, research and advocacy. His tenure marked a momentous period in All Children's 86-year history, with the decision to build over 1-million square feet of new space devoted to children's care, the addition of more than one thousand employees and the construction of four outreach locations that increased All Children's physical presence to eleven locations in eight West Central Florida counties. Mr. Carnes also developed a vision for the Hospital's future that inspired and ultimately resulted in the integration of All Children's Hospital into Johns Hopkins Medicine – the first hospital outside of the Baltimore/Washington D.C. region to achieve status as a full member of Johns Hopkins Health System.
Jonathan Ellen, M.D., current Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine vice dean for All Children's Hospital and All Children's Hospital physician-in-chief, will serve as interim president until a permanent president is named. "Dr. Ellen has significant experience in successfully leading mission-centered pediatric healthcare at both Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and most recently at All Children's Hospital. Over the past two years, Dr. Ellen has become a familiar face on All Children's St. Petersburg campus. The insights he has gained from interaction with physicians, staff, potential collaborative partners and the community overall will help to shape our strategy moving forward toward our shared vision of All Children's as a top-notch pediatric academic medical center. His demonstrated commitment to research and education, and his focus on community benefit, will be tremendous assets as we move through greater integration across the Hopkins family," says Edward Miller, M.D., dean and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
"All Children's unwavering commitment to the community and patients it serves, and its vision for the advancement of pediatric education, research and treatment, make it a valued part of the Hopkins family," states Ronald R. Peterson, president, Johns Hopkins Health System and EVP, Johns Hopkins Medicine. "Gary Carnes has helped grow that vision, laying the groundwork for the advancement of pediatric medicine as a whole."
All Children's Hospital is the only hospital on Florida's West Coast totally devoted to the care of children. All Children's opened its new inpatient hospital and adjacent outpatient care center in January 2010. As a referral center for children All Children's draws patients from throughout Florida, all 50 states and 36 foreign countries.

Comments about Clean Bottle:
The top and bottom open for easy cleaning...meh. The bottle is made of thick plastic which makes it hard for me to squeeze it to get water when it is cold out. The nipple/nozzle/part you drink from is hard to pull open. It does seem slightly larger than other standard water bottles but it still fits into a cage fine.

Christian Lealiifano kicked the Brumbies to victory against the Blues in Auckland.
The Brumbies won 20-13 after leading 14-0 at halftime.
The Brumbies played with a strong wind in the first half and resisted the Blues in the second half to grind out a win.
Nic White scored the decisive first half try but the most critical play came in the 73rd minute when the Blues conceded a penalty at 17-13. The Brumbies punished the infringement to make it a seven point ball game and the weather conditions, coupled with the Blues indifferent display on the ball, made for a comfortable last five minutes.
The Blues were apathetic in the first half and lacked energy and drive. Head coach John Kirwan let rip in the half-time talk and if his team played with the intent of their coach it may have been a different result.
Rene Ranger was the exception to a mediocre Blues effort.
The Brumbies, on balance, were the better team and the more deserving team won on an awful night (weather-wise) in Auckland. Strong defence, Lealiifano's boot, a more effective line kicking game and a more intelligent approach contributed to the win.
Blues – Try: Rene Ranger. Conversion: Chris Noakes. Penalties: Noakes, Baden Kerr.
Brumbies – Try: Nic White. Penalties: Christian Lealiifano (5).

New Orleans Hornets General Manager
Im furious, just bought 2 tickets courtside for me and my friend for 300 a piece and now this?!
Oh you guys calm down, we got this. Rivers is a push at this point and we did just fine without Davis in Chicago.
Lopez better be ready because Holiday will most likely get by Gravy to try to get easy shots at the rim.
Will Lopez be out-rebounded by Spencer Hawes?
If we can pull this one out to go 3-1 we better move up like 10 spots on power rankings OH THE POSSIBILITIES
Here's to holding out hope for Saturday.
NFL players are practicing the Tuesday after getting a concussion on Sunday, and playing the very next week. Playing football, not basketball. This is ridiculous if AD says he's fine.
I feel there is someone in the Hornets organization, doctor or otherwise, that is calling these shots and consistently sitting players on the side of caution. Maybe they have a bad insurance policy, I don't know. But something isn't right IMO.
We must rebrand, the name Hornets is cursed to forever be injured.

Monty pulling off some suspenders:
Sixers face Hornets in New Orleans tonight
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/...s-tonight.htmlJust as the Eagles did earlier this week, the Sixers head to New Orleans in search of their offense. Unlike the Eagles, who faced a horrendous Saints defense, the Sixers will be facing one of the best defenses in the NBA.
The Sixers, who will be without Jason Richardson (ankle) and Kwame Brown (calf), have had a hard time finding the basket in their first three games, scoring an average of 85.3 points while shooting a horrendous 37.2 percent from the floor. Panic has not set in, nor has heightened concern. But you have to wonder what's going on.
"That's it (the ball just not dropping)," said Evan Turner. "That's all it is. It's not about what they do but what we do and how we do it, how we execute. We just have to worry abour ourselves right now and executing and it will make things easier on us."
Also making things easier for the Sixers will be that the Hornets also are shorthanded due to injuries. Rookies Anthony Davis (concussion) and Austin Rivers (sprained finger) will be out for the game as will guard Eric Gordon (right knee soreness).
Brown started the last game for the Sixers when they lost at home to the Knicks on Monday, but Lavoy Allen will be re-inserted in the starting lineup. Dorell Wright will start in place of Richardson.
Man I'm going to the game tonight and wanted to see AD and Austin play, but hey I get to cheer for the rest of the team on our way to another W.
So hot...
the chick... not Ryno.
No Reason we should lose.. With Bynum and Richardson out we are the better team. If we can contain Holiday we win
Gonna go out on a limb and say Darius Miller is one of our top 3 scorers this game.
What kind of upsets me is since rivers is out we will see a lot of Brian Roberts.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
FYI Hornets listed starting five vs. @Sixers is Vasquez, Miller, Aminu, Anderson, Lopez. Philly is Holiday, Turner, D.Wright, T.Young, Allen

Elon University's 123rd commencement will take place on Saturday with more than 1,170 undergraduates and a host of ceremonies involving graduate programs. Here are some things to know about it.
Elon's 123rd commencement
Under the Oaks
(in front of West Residence Hall)
What time
9:15 a.m.
Parking no-no
The Oaks residential complex and Koury Athletic Center parking lots, both accessed from North Williamson Avenue, will be closed Saturday.
Brian Williams, NBC News anchor and managing editor (he's an Elon dad).
This year's graduating class includes a set of triplets.
North Carolina (327)
New Jersey (102)
Massachusetts (91)
Maryland (85)
Virginia (81)
Cayman Islands, 3
(Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong have 2 each)
Almost anyone, if the weather holds. Tickets are not needed when graduation is outdoors. But in case of rain . . .
Know this, Elon will do anything it can to keep the event outdoors. In fact, if the forecast calls for early morning rainfall that will clear later, the university may delay the start of an outdoor ceremony until 10:30 a.m.
But if it does rain, well, then logistics change. Commencement exercises will move to Alumni Gym in Koury Athletic Center. Tickets are required and each graduate may have two. Those who can't get inside Alumni Gym may watch via closed circuit monitors in other areas.
The commencement gowns are made from recycled plastic bottles. Each gown is made from about 23 plastic bottles by Virginia-based Oak Hall Cap & Gown. The company notes on its website that with 60 million plastic bottles going into landfills every day, the gowns offer universities "a chance to turn trash into keepsakes."
Closed circuit viewing of commencement activities will be available in McEwen Communications Building for elderly family members. A sign interpreter will be present for the entire ceremony and an assisted hearing system is also available upon request.
Watch the ceremony live online at http://www.elon.edu/e-web/news/announce.xhtml. It will start shortly before the ceremony. The player will not work at other times.
Besides anchoring the most-watched network news program in the nation, Brian Williams is the father of Douglas Williams, who is graduating on Saturday with a degree from the School of Communications. Brian Williams also chairs the School of Communications Advisory Board. He's been a fixture on campus in recent years. In 2011 he moderated a special Convocation for Honors. He also held an open forum with Elon students about the fture of network news and journalism in general.
A native of New Jersey and former firefighter, he's received 11 Edward R. Murrow Awards, 12 Emmy Awards, the duPont-Columbia University Award, the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism and the industry's highest honor, the George Foster Peabody Award. In 2011, Time magazine named Williams one of the world's 100 most influential people.
Traffic will be a problem for those driving in Elon Friday. Expect congestion around campus, particularly at 7:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
East Lebanon Avenue will be one-way only (eastbound) between Williamson Avenue and South Antioch Avenue from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, May 25, for the undergraduate and law Commencement exercises.
Haggard Avenue between Williamson Avenue and North O'Kelly Avenue will be closed to traffic from 9 a.m. until approximately 9:30 a.m. Saturday It will also be closed to traffic from approximately 5:45-6 p.m. for the School of Law graduation.
There will be a reception for graduates around Fonville Fountain following the ceremony.
Every Elon undergraduate gets an oak sapling to plant. Some of them wind up being pretty special in their lives.
Thursday, Master of Arts in Interactive Media
Friday, Master of Business Administration, Whitley Auditorium, 7 p.m.
Friday, the Baccalaureate ceremony, will be 3 p.m. Friday in Alumni Gym. Speaker is the Rev. Joseph P. Parkes, a founder of Cristo Rey New York High School and chairman of the Christo Rey Network board.
Saturday, Elon School of Law Commencement, Under the Oaks, 6 p.m.

You CAN go wrong with Chanel. Everything in the last decade is shit.
New fragrance from the house of CHANEL. Don't blind-buy this if you liked the ALLURE HOMME SPORT. This has nothing to do with HOMME SPORT.. it smells good..SOAPY, CLEAN, DIFFRENT. But not WAAAAAUW.. this is not a compliment-getter.
My CHANEL rating (0/10):
(2004) Chanel allure Homme 'SPORT' - 9!!
URL: http://www.basenotes.net/ID26122738.html
(2008) Chanel allure Homme 'Edition Blanche' - 6

(2010) Chanel BLUE DE CHANEL - 8.

(2012) Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême- 7
URL: http://www.basenotes.net/ID26134050.html
Note: You never can go wrong with CHANEL, but don't waste your money because you like ALLURE HOMME SPORT.
You CAN go wrong with Chanel. Everything in the last decade is shit.
Chanel egoiste (90's) (platinum) and Antaeus (80's) are still hot.
So you don't like any of them? The last decade chanel: Allure.. is not so bad.. you just have to find your 'Allure' (Edition blanche, homme sport, extreme).
I have not really liked anything in their entire Allure line... So yes, you can go wrong with Chanel, IMO. Very wrong indeed.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie

9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
This latest one wasn't one of their most inspired releases IMO.
So we all agree, don't buy this marketing idea. It does smell good but nothing groundbreaking.

It is consistent with the rest of the Allure line - shitty.

"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
Didn't care for the moderate version, don't feel the need to try this one.
Tried this yesterday from a tester and thought the extreme version smelled ok, but not bottle worthy. I'm still a big fan of Editon Blanche and hold out hope on an extreme version.
Not really a fan of the Chanel line...had thought of buying Allure Homme at one point but I decided against it...the scent becomes irritating to me after a while.
Allure Sport is very over hyped to me. Smells like lemon, and a lot of other citrus' thrown into a bottle.
I wouldn't wear it, but I wouldn't call Bleu de Chanel shit. I'd describe it as a "capable mainstream offering." Which, coming from Chanel, is very disappointing and boring.
has mass appeal
not snob appeal
AHSE is what AHS shouldve been, decent but not great
personally, the Allure line does nothing for me, but the Sport Extreme was a step in the right direction
adversity introduces a man to himself -anonymous
tried chanel today. as a person with untrained nose, i am more with normal crowd side.
allure homme sport, extreme = nice but idk whether worth full bottle.
no 19 = nice
no 5= gorgeous! suitable for ladies i think
gardenia = i love it though more to feminine side
pour monsier = no from me
coromandel = neither good nor bad
cologne = shampoo?
sycomore = though so many hypes here, pretty hard for me to say. if you like woody scent, then it is yes. it does not WOW me. sorry
and there is one smells like a medicine thing, no 18 i guess
previous trial
bleu = poor longevity
I havent sampled this yet so I cant comment tbh
Never worked for me,smelled horrible on my skin the worst chanel i have ever sniffed..
I didn't find that at all, Its about the same ranking on my list as AHS (7.5)
The hunt for a Signature Fragrance is not an easy one! I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Edit: 2015... I've given up and given in
Want to buy or swap: A*men Ultra Zest, Bentley Intense, Mont Blanc Legend Intense, Paco Rabanne Invictus,
Tried it today at Nordstrom. It is a total ripoff of Geir by Geir Ness.
"I am a robot and I like cheese"
Top 5:
1. Axe Kilo
2. Lectric Shave
3. Vicks Vapor Rub
4. Febreze Pour Homme
5. Preferred Stock
I tried this yesterday at Nordstrom and was surprised that I didn't care for it that much. Too much tonka bean for me. I did like the initial Dr. Pepper-like notes, but it dried down to something like Himalaya with the tonka bean cranked.
One thing that did make a positive impression on me was that my Nordstrom was now carrying the full Chanel men's lineup (except for the non-concentree Pour Monsieur. They had Antaeus and Egoiste, which blew me away; glad to see these two coming back to wider distribution!
IMO its not that the Allure line is bad as such more that it is there to please the mass market. I liked the original Allure Homme and bought it but it never got that many outings. AHS is the real big hitter of the line and to me is the epitome of "sport" fragrances. I don't like it because it is wayyyyy too loud for my taste. Even the cologne version is pretty tenacious.
I'm not gonna go on more about the line but I think the point is that the last groundbreaking or daring male fragrance from Chanel was Egoiste.
But this pleases the snobs like us and everything for men since has been aimed at a mass market which is why the majority of guys on this forum start bad mouthing Chanel men's fragrances before even smelling them.
It's the nature of the forum that we tend to rebel against the mainstream.
For good, anatomic reasons, scent fosters memory more readily than any other sense.
Is it just me, or does the dry down of AHSE smell strangely like a fresher version of the Lancome Hypnose Homme dry down?? I'm getting a striking similarity in the overall aroma. Someone please tell me I'm not crazy!

Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme isn't really a bad fragrance. In my opinion, it should have its own name as it smelled different from AHS or the original Allure Homme, at least to my nose. The Tonka is dominant in this one. Projection is excellent, and longevity is very good.

I got tagged by Ki from Dressing up for life sometime back. I am not really good with tags (meaning : I get too lazy and I don't do them at all!). I don't like doing the '7 random things about myself' because let's face it - after doing it thrice, its boring as hell. Every post of mine has random titbits about me - so haven't we all had enough of the randomness?
**But I do appreciate all the awards and tags that you pass on to me. Yes I really do!**
Anyway this tag is different. Ki came up with a few questions that I am supposed to answer. I am also supposed to write random stuff about myself and tag 11 people. Which *obviously* I am not going to do. Someone please change the rules!
Or just break them, like I did. Yeah I am a wild child.

Watched Agneepath this weekend. I am not going to write a full fledged review here.. so here's the gist. Hrithik Roshan was fabulous as usual. Another brilliant performance. I loved Rishi Kapoor's role and character. He is one brilliant actor! Sanjay Dutt is the scariest villian I have ever seen in my life. I can still hear Kancha's booming and absolutely frightening laughter in my head. To play such a role, build such a body and act with such finese at his age - I salute that actor! I have no idea what Priyanka Chopra was doing in that film. She opened a stupid chinese beauty parlor and that's about it.
I liked the first half. But the second half really dragged on. At one point I was ready to scream "Kill him already!!! And get it over with so that I can get out and go eat!!". But he din't kill. He just dragged it on and on. Literally. (Watch the movie and you'll understand). So I simply walked out during the last 15-20min and had some yummy cake. Yes I walked out of a film. This is a first for me!
