Katherine Anne Porter
Katherine Anne Porter, 1890–1980, American author, b. Indian Creek, Tex., as Callie Russell Porter. Although she published infrequently, she is regarded as a master of the short story. Her first book of stories, Flowering Judas (1930), received immediate recognition and critical acclaim. It was followed by Pale Horse, Pale Rider (1939), which includes the superb novella Noon Wine, and The Leaning Tower (1944). Her stories have been praised for their technical accomplishments in matters of style, form, and language. A collection of her essays and occasional pieces appeared as The Days Before (1952). Her only long novel, the best-selling Ship of Fools, was published in 1962 and made into a film three years later. Set aboard a German ship shortly before Hitler's accession to power, the novel is a moral allegory that attempts to recreate the atmosphere of a world on the brink of disaster.

The Dutch followed the English model of using private investors to help pay for the establishment of a colony. In 1621, the Dutch formed the Dutch-West Indies Company. The first Dutch sent by the company settled the upper Hudson River, founding a fur trading post called "Fort- Orange", near the present day Albany. They also established trading posts up and down the Hudson River, one at its mouth.
In 1626 the Dutch Indies Company sent Peter Minuit to be the governor of the new colony. His instructions were not to use violence on the Native Americans. Minuit offered the Natives who lived on Manhattan Island a variety of goods in exchange for the island of Manhattan. The values of the pots, beads and blankets were $24. The Natives did not believe that land could be owned, so they agreed to the exchange. In addition to buying the island, the Dutch trader entered into an agreement with the Iroquois confederacy.
The fur trade rapidly expanded and the Dutch settlement founded on Manhattan Island rapidly grew to more the1, 000 people. In 1647, Peter Stuyvesant was sent by the Dutch Indies Company to be the new governor. On his arrival he announced that the name of the settlement would henceforth be New Amsterdam.
Stuyvesant governed the colony for 17 years. During his tenure the city grew rapidly. By 1660 New Amsterdam was home to 8,000 people. New Amsterdam became the home of the first Jewish community in the United States.

10 camera techniques to master in 2014
10 camera techniques to master in 2014: how to position your subject in the frame
In this section we'll show you how to position your subject within the frame and make the best use of the space.
Besides choosing what to shoot and the best settings to use, learning the basics of composition is one of the fundamental ways to improve your results.
There are plenty of rules and theories about what makes the perfect composition, but the key thing that you should think about when taking your shots is where to position the main subject in your image.
Rule of Thirds
It's tempting to put the subject in the centre of the frame, but this can produce static-looking compositions. It's often much better to put the subject just off centre.
The classic approach is to use the rule of thirds, which is defined by imaginary 'lines' that divide each side of the image into three equal-sized areas. You then position the main subject on one of these lines, or where they intersect.

Make good use of space
The space around your subject is nearly as important to the success of your composition as the subject itself. First of all, you need to think about how much of the subject's surroundings you want to include in your shot.
This isn't an exact science, but as a general rule you should include the surroundings if they add to the photo, such as showing the environment around the subject in a portrait or wildlife image.
Alternatively, a tighter composition that excludes the surroundings can help to make the main subject dominate the image.
Space to move
One key aspect of using space in your shots is particularly applicable to action shots and portraits. When looking at images of moving subjects, you naturally look ahead into the area that it's travelling towards.
For this reason, it's a good idea to leave more space ahead of the subject for it to move into than there is behind it, otherwise your shot can end up looking rather unbalanced.
Portraits can also benefit from a similar composition technique. Leaving some space on the side that your subject is looking into instantly creates a considerably more balanced composition.

Starting 'em young in triathlon
Fitness and athletics become a family event
The family that plays together stays together. This seems to be the formula for the families of 150 kids who participated in the recent Century Tuna Animo Sprint Triathlon.
Organized by the Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP), the annual event was held once again at Ayala Alabang in Muntinlupa. Kids whose ages ranged from 15 years old down to 4 years old competed in 10 categories.
In most cases one if not both parents are also triathletes in their own rights and just like their parents, the kids arrived early in the morning to have their arms marked with their respective numbers before heading over to the pool in De La Salle Zobel for the start of the race.
As coach Rick Reyes blew the horn to start each leg it was interesting to see how involved the parents were. Many were seen cheering and sometimes running behind their kids to give them support.
While the goal was to obviously win, getting their child to participate and to complete the course was victory enough for several of the parents. And many treated the event like a family outing; an activity that all member of the family could appreciate.
What is funny is sometimes the kids did better than their parents, such as Joel Caniza's daughter Teresa winning the 7-8 year old female category, and Bong Arkoncel, whose son Inñigo and daughter Ana Beatrice finished third in their respective age group categories.

This award recognizes Blue Grass Energy's efforts to promote energy-efficient construction and environmental protection by sponsoring an ENERGY STAR for New Homes program in its service area last year.
Blue Grass Energy first began using Energy Star guidelines for its Touchstone Energy Home program in 2005. BGEnergy members get a free home energy rating (HERS), valued at $500.
Middle and high school students can hit the snooze button and still be punctual for their first day of classes thanks to a decision Monday night to delay the start time by 10 minutes.
When classes resume August 11, students in grades six through 12 will begin their school day at 7:45 a.m. – 10 minutes later than in previous years. Spencer County Middle and High students will also be getting out five minutes earlier during the 2009-10 school year, resulting in a day that is 15 minutes shorter.
I have sat back and read the charges against David Jenkins in our newspaper for weeks now. What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? I suppose that doesn't apply with our editor of the Spencer Magnet. According to the on-line poll a couple of weeks ago, this is embarrassing to our county. I agree with that, so please Ms. Bass let it go.
Spencer County Youth Football Association is having an open board meeting on August 5 at the new football field located at 100 Water Street in Taylorsville at 6:30 p.m.
All parents are welcome to attend.
I am writing this regarding the letter that was wrote last week about the Spencer County Youth Football program.
I'm a proud parent of a mighty mite player. This is my son's third year on the team. The first year, my son played for the team, he didn't get in the game that much. but he did get to know the game, because when he started he didn't know anything about football. The second year, he got more playing time.
The Spencer County Fair 4-H and FFA Hog Show was this past Saturday, July 18, with Warren Beeler from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture judging.
There were showmanship classes for all ages, including novice.
Supreme Breeding Gilt Champion went to Ashley Montgomery with her Yorkshire. Reserve Supreme Breeding Gilt Champion went to Danielle Montgomery with her Duroc.
Preliminary statistics indicate that fifteen people died in fifteen separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, July 20 through Sunday, July 26, 2009.
Thirteen of the crashes involved motor vehicles and seven of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Boone, Breckinridge, Christian, Daviess, Franklin (2), Gallatin, Graves (2), Hardin, Jefferson, Marion and Spencer counties. Two of the crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol.
Masonic Lodge Country Ham Breakfast
Taylorsville Masonic Lodge #210 will be having an all-you-can-eat country ham breakfast from 7 a.m. until 11 a.m. Saturday. The breakfast is $6 per person. Carry-out is available. Everyone is welcome.
O.R.N.A.I.C. meal and meeting
In a concise, yet decisive e-mail sent to colleagues last Wednesday, Spencer County Judge Executive David Jenkins resigned from the executive board of the Kentucky Association of Counties.
"I feel it is in the best interest of the organization that I step aside," wrote Jenkins. "I want the executive committee and KACo to be able to make decisions based upon facts and not personalities."
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved in the Light Up Salt River Festival.
First and foremost, I would like to recognize the committee members for all of their planning and hard work. They are Carolyn Shields, Kathy Spears, Janet Barnett, Donna Forg, Leigh Ann Stratton, Sharon Thomas, David and Kristen Martin, and Troy Klaber. Without our team work this wouldn't happen every year.

Tip from former LAPD mentor led to Dorner manhunt
Friday - 2/22/2013, 1:50am EST
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The training officer whose dispute with former Los Angeles police Officer Christopher Dorner led to his firing said Thursday that it was her hunch that led police to name him as the suspect in the killing of an Orange County couple, setting off an intense and deadly manhunt that ended with Dorner's suicide in a mountain cabin.
"In my mind, it felt like such a long shot," said Teresa Evans. Dorner, her partner and trainee, had accused her of police brutality in 2008, leading to his dismissal for making false statements in 2009. "But my gut feeling made it a lot stronger than that. I just knew. Something told me that there was some kind of a connection."
On. Feb. 4, when few knew Dorner's name, police in National City near San Diego called Evans, saying they had found some of his belongings including ammunition, pieces of a police uniform and a notebook with her name in it.
"Just hearing his name was enough to make me feel sick," Evans said in an interview the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/X05dHQ ).
The same day she learned that Monica Quan, daughter of former LAPD Captain Randal Quan, and her fianc

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)
Romeo and Juliet, Fantasy Overture 1812 Overture, Op. 49
Capriccio Italien, Op. 45 Marche Slave, Op. 31
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky was born in 1840, the second son by his second wife of a mining engineer, manager of a metal works. At home he showed musical precocity and in 1848 he had his first experience of school in St. Petersburg. Two years later he entered the School of Jurisprudence, where he remained for nine years, later entering the government service. In 1863 he resigned from his position in the Ministry of Justice and became a student at the newly established Conservatory in St. Petersburg, following this with appointment to the staff of the new Conservatory in Moscow. He remained on the staff of the Moscow Conservatory until 1878, when a pension from a rich widow, with whom he corresponded for years but whom he never met, gave him independence to continue a career as a composer. He died when he seemed at the height of his powers, in 1893.
This bald account of the course of Tchaikovsky's life ignores aspects that caused him a great deal of misery. The departure of his beloved governess in 1848 and the death of his mother in 1854 moved him deeply, affecting a nature that had already proved morbidly sensitive and diffident. Tchaikovsky was well enough liked by his contemporaries at the School of Jurisprudence and was never one to withdraw from social contact. Nevertheless, as a musician, he was easily depressed by harsh criticism and remained intensely critical of what he wrote.
In 1868 Tchaikovsky had written a symphonic poem Fatum and this had elicited from Balakirev, in St. Petersburg, harsh and detailed criticism. Balakirev was the leader of the group of nationalist composers, Rimsky-Korsakov, César Cui, Borodin and Mussorgsky. He had taken over the direction of the Russian Music Society concerts in St. Petersburg after the resignation of their founder, Anton Rubinstein in 1867. In 1869 he was dismissed by the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna, and Tchaikovsky gallantly published an article deploring this. Tchaikovsky's defence of Balakirev and his ready acceptance of the criticism of Fatum led to the renewal of Balakirev's influence over him, and it was from him that the idea of writing an orchestral work on the subject of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet came. Balakirev was always ready to offer criticism of the music of his contemporaries, but was equally generous with ideas.
The story of Romeo and Juliet is too well known to need repetition. Tchaikovsky makes no attempt to follow the events as they occur in Shakespeare's play. There is the solemnity of Friar Laurence, whose well-intentioned intervention is the indirect cause of the tragedy, a theme re-creating the traditional enmity of the houses of Montague and Capulet and a sensuous melody expressing the love of Romeo and Juliet. The overture is in traditional sonata-form, the exposition, with its principal thematic material, followed by a central development and a final recapitulation, in which love ends in death. The original Overture was revised in 1870, on the suggestion of Balakirev, and underwent further revision in 1880, when it became an Overture-Fantasy.
About the 1812 Overture Tchaikovsky was diffident, describing it, in a letter to his patroness Nadezhda von Meck, as "without any serious merits". The overture was written in response to an official commission from Nikolay Rubinstein and was to celebrate the opening of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, an event timed to coincide with the Moscow Exhibition of Industry and the Arts and the silver jubilee of the Tsar.
Since the building of the Cathedral was designed to commemorate the events of 1812, when the armies of Napoleon had been forced to retreat from Moscow, Tchaikovsky chose to make his overture a graphic description of the conflict, with the French represented by the Marseillaise and Russia by an Orthodox chant and a folk-song, and, in final victory, by "God save the Tsar".
The piece, therefore, aptly honoured a royal occasion as well as a religious and patriotic one. The inclusion of cannon in the scoring has made the overture a popular spectacle.
The Italian Capriccio was written in 1880. Tchaikovsky had started the work in Rome, where he spent part of the winter of 1879/1880 with his brother Modest and the latter's young pupil Kolya. Originally envisaged as an Italian Suite on folk melodies, the work was modelled to some extent on Glinka's Spanish fantasias. The Capriccio opens with a fanfare that echoes the sound that the composer heard every morning in Rome from the barracks next to his hotel. Four other Italian melodies are used, the last a Neapolitan tarantella known as Ciccuzza. The work received its first performance in Moscow in December, 1880, under the direction of Nikolay Rubinstein.
The Marche Slave, Opus 31, was completed early in October 1876, in response to a request from Nikolay Rubinstein for a work to be played at a Moscow concert in aid of victims of the Turks in the Balkans, where Montenegro and Serbia had declared war against Turkey, and Russian pro-Slav feelings were running high.
The original title of the work was the Serbo-Russian March, and Tchaikovsky used in it fragments of three Serbian melodies, with a reference to the Russian Imperial anthem before the re-appearance of material of the opening in a final, third section. The anthem appears in fuller form at the climax of a march that was well calculated to appeal to the patriotic emotions of the day.
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was created by Sir Thomas Beecham three weeks before its first concert, which took place in the Davis Hall, Croydon, on 15th September, 1946. The orchestra was initially associated with the Royal Philharmonic Society and involved in the Society's subscription concert series, later earning for itself the title "Royal", when this association came to an end. Beecham gave his last concert with the orchestra in 1960 and was succeeded by Rudolf Kempe, who became principal conductor on Beecham's death the following year. The orchestra has from the beginning been involved in recording, with a major international reputation supported by foreign tours and by association with conductors and soloists of the greatest distinction.
Adrian Leaper
Adrian Leaper was appointed Assistant Conductor to Stanislaw Skrowaczewski of the Hallé Orchestra in 1986, and has since then enjoyed an increasingly busy career, with engagements at home and throughout Europe. Born in 1953, Adrian Leaper studied at the Royal Academy of Music and was for a number of years co-principal French horn in the Philharmonia Orchestra, before turning his attention exclusively to conducting. He has been closely involved with the Naxos and Marco Polo labels and has been consequently instrumental in introducing elements of English repertoire to Eastern Europe. His numerous recordings include a complete cycle of Sibelius symphonies for Naxos.

The new drop-down menu here on the forums link shows Helproom then Windows 8..7..Vista etc. No mention of the XP workhorse that served so well for many years. Used to be the King of problems in Helproom...

I hated the concept of Vista, but only because of the 'chat' about it. Owing to a very short lived mistake by Microsoft on their TechNet website, I managed to get Vista free of charge. What the hell, I thought, I might as well give it a try.
After using it for a few days I loved it. XP, really quite suddenly, felt antiquated. And it didn't crash anything like as often. W7 is a worthy replacement to Vista and again makes XP feel one step closer to the feel of a Commodore 64!
As for Windows 8? Unusually, I haven't downloaded any of the pre-release versions. The idea of Metro doesn't gel well with me, but then again, I may need have a 'Vista moment' when I do try it.
XP hit the spot in its time. Many corporate and home users won't shift away from it. But every dog has its day, and XPs day has been and gone.

I can't believe that they are set in the most popular order.Obviously they are set in that order for a reason.

NBI identifies alleged prison grenade thrower
More News from Christine O. Avendaño
With the aid of surveillance camera footage and the testimony of fellow inmates, the prisoner who hurled a grenade that wounded six convicts at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) last month has been identified.
The Department of Justice said Tuesday the National Bureau of Investigation had recommended to the Muntinlupa City Prosecutor's Office the filing of attempted murder charges against Henry Villa, alias Jeffrey Bulusok, a member of the Batang Samar Leyte (BSL) gang.
Four other inmates identified as Villa's cohorts by the NBI will also be charged with attempted murder for the Nov. 16 incident. They are Ronaldo Torres, leader of the BSL; Pablo Anora, head of the Batang City Jail (BCJ) gang; Jerry Pepino, chief of the Batman gang, and Joseph Mostrales, a BCJ "trustee."
The NBI found in its month-long investigation that the grenade throwing was a bid by the suspects to install a new jail leader and take over the illegal activities at the prison, like drug- and alcohol-running and the kidnapping of inmates' visitors.
In its Dec. 14 report to De Lima, the NBI said two inmates, Emelino Sitchon and Nino Garing, identified Villa as the one who hurled the grenade at a group of inmates jogging in front of Building 11 on Church Road in the prison's maximum security compound.
Sitchon said he saw Villa, who had a white towel on his head, hurl an object and run away, after which there was a loud explosion.
Garing said he noticed Villa walking toward Building 11 and run in the opposite direction after he heard a loud bang.
Another inmate, George de la Pena, told investigators that two weeks before the incident, he overheard two inmates—Anora and Torres—talking about a plan involving a grenade.
De la Pena said he also overheard Torres, Mostrales and Pepino "planning to explode a grenade in the compound of the BCJ so Pablo Anora could take over the leadership from Froilan Trestiza."
"As a consequence, they would control the illegal activities inside the NBP, like the illegal drugs and liquor trade and kidnapping of inmates' visitors," said the NBI report.
The NBI said the three witnesses underwent lie detector tests and the results showed that their statements "had a semblance of truthfulness."
The CCTV footage reviewed by the NBI showed a man wearing an orange T-shirt and denim shorts with a white towel over his head hurling a grenade.
Four inmates, three of whom were wounded in the explosion, filed complaints against the five inmates.
The incident prompted De Lima to relieve top NBP officials and all the guards.

wild-you're argueing specific treatments all of which are moot points if you are not capable of administering an IV.
In your years of experience as an EMT, did you ever have a patient under your care for five or more days? That's why my training was different than yours.
Your last statement I agree with entirely. It is a little short sighted though as the maritime industry has had to develop their own training programs due to lack of help from the medical community. The medical community has trouble seeing over the horizon and seems to fear law-suits more than a patient death. Many though, when confronted with the realities of life at sea, come to realize why it is important to know how to administer an IV or a catheter. EMT training focuses almost exclusively on stabilization and presumes hospitilization. Remove the latter and you must take a different approach in your training.

Spreading around the offense
Not many high school receivers have a quarterback who'll be playing Division I football next fall.
Graham's Dylan Fulford considers himself to be a lucky guy in that respect.
But Case McCoy is quick to acknowledge he is fortunate to be surrounded by so many dependable wideouts.
For the first time in Brad McCoy's five-year tenure at Graham, the Steers — who meet Bridgeport Friday with a trip to the 3A Division II state quarterfinals on the line — have four different receivers with at least 30 catches.
"It's a unique group," said Case McCoy, who has set career highs with 3,494 passing yards and 40 touchdowns this season. "They definitely have stepped up. Last year was a molding period for us, and now we've all jelled together."
Fulford, who leads the No. 10 Steers (11-1) with 52 catches for 1,161 yards and 16 touchdowns, was a quarterback two years ago.
The first foray at receiver was a success, as he posted 773 yards and five scores as a sophomore. With an even better grasp of his position now, Fulford has emerged as one of Class 3A's most feared playmakers.
"He's definitely in the position he needs to be in," said Coach McCoy, adding that colleges are recruiting Fulford at receiver. "Once he gets more experience and confidence, the sky is the limit."
At 6-2, 185, Fulford has the size to outmuscle defenders for jump balls and the speed to run by cornerbacks, plus he's blessed with great hand-eye coordination. It's no wonder why Fulford has five 100-yard and five multiple-touchdown games to his credit.
Connor Higgins, the Steers' other outside speed threat, was a move-in that came over from Paradise. Case McCoy said he'd met Higgins previously during summer league basketball, so the quarterback was well aware of Higgins' athleticism.
Higgins had to learn the nuances of Graham's offense, but the senior has come on strong the latter part of the season.
Against Brownwood, he finished with six catches for 135 yards and two touchdowns, including a fourth-down reception that nearly forced overtime with two seconds remaining.
Up until then, Higgins had 14 catches in seven games. From that point on, he has 23 receptions and five touchdowns in five games.
"Brownwood took away the deep threat with Dylan, and he stepped up," Case McCoy said. "It's a big weapon to have two speed guys, and he's matured and accepted his role."
Inside receivers Garrett Spears and Corey Groves have carved their own niche in Graham's dangerous spread offense.
Both are possession guys who can find holes in a team's defense and catch short passes that keep the chains moving.
Groves, who was a part-time player a year ago, is regarded by both Case McCoy and Fulford as having the best hands on the team.
"He'll catch anything you throw to him," Fulford said. "If we need a big third-down conversion, we'll look for him or Garrett."
Case McCoy said Spears excels at blocking downfield, and like the other receivers, he runs crisp routes.
The Steers' area-leading passing attack averages 296 yards per game. An offensive line that did a tremendous job in protection against a mammoth Monahans front has something to do with that success.
So does the threat of tailback Cameron Bailey, who went over 1,000 rushing yards in last week's 44-28 victory against the No. 4 Loboes.
But what it boils down to is this — Graham has too many weapons for a secondary to stop.
"You can't cover all of us," Fulford said.

What is LBT?
It's a tax that traders will pay the local civic body for importing goods into the city. Sounds similar to octroi? Octroi, abolished in almost all municipalities in state, is paid every time a consignment enters the city, at octroi nakas. LBT attempts to speed up goods movement, stressing self-declaration of goods by traders who will maintain LBT accounts.
Does BMC charge LBT?
The BMC is yet to migrate from its octroi regime and has bought time till later this year. So how does the traders' strike affect Mumbai? The trader community is protesting the imposition of LBT in neighbouring municipalities, and the impending imposition in Mumbai. Wholesale markets in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai have been affected for 11 days, a complete shutdown in some localities and sporadic protests elsewhere.
But why are they protesting if LBT is merely replacing octroi?
The traders' contention is that octroi abolition and imposition of LBT simultaneously is a betrayal. With VAT in place across the country, a double-tax regime is not acceptable, they say. Prices of goods are affected by VAT as well as by state or municipality-level taxes.
Also, complying with various rules on self-declaration, record maintenance, account books, etc could be an added cost under the LBT regime. Government sources say tax evasion under the octroi regime was simpler, another reason traders are opposing LBT.
Have all Maharashtra municipalities imposed the tax?
Out of the 26 corporations, 24 have migrated to LBT. Mumbai and Nashik will do so later this year.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 - 5 nights
Villa Pugue is a unique, custom built villa, overlooking Culebra's Ensenada Bay, with views of the Caribbean Sea. The villa sits on a hill, with panoramic views of the island. It was designed with over 20 feet of folding glass doors for maximum enjoyment. The villa was completed in January 2006, and has been tastefully decorated to meet the highest standard of comfort and luxury the island has to offer. Fully furnished three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living, dining room and kitchen, the Villa also offers a second floor observatory tower with glass windows for the enjoyment of 360 degrees views.
Villa Pugue is the perfect sanctuary for those who wish to enjoy the beauty of a wildlife preserve, with comfort and relaxation and in complete anonymity. This is an island where time stands still.
As much as we really enjoyed our first trip to Culebra, this time was even more special. Villa as usual was extremely clean and offers amazing views of nearly half of the island. Both the sunrise and the sunsets are amazingly beautiful while sitting out on the patio and at night the stars shine with an amazing brilliance since there are no other properties right beside you. We went in peak season this year and our villa was located really close to some great restaurants and travel guides which made this trip even better! The beaches are second to none and the culture of culebra really helps you get into that "island mode". Can't wait to stay at this location again and I'm currently planning my next trip now!
Our vacation celebrated our two sons recent graduations from high school and the other from college. Everyone had been working very hard and we wanted to relax on beautiful beaches, so we chose Culebra. We chose the villa on the hill to make our stay even more memorable. The owner, Keila, was so kind and helpful through email and on the phone as the trip was planned. She had recommendations and wonderful people at the ready on the island to help us in any way we needed. The house fulfilled all of our expectations and more. The home, inside and out, took our breath away. The deck offers a spectacular view of the harbor and surrounding hills, both in the day and at night under the stars. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals, even an espresso pot. Each morning the four of us got up early and headed out to a new beach (often being the only ones on the beach), spent a few hours swimming and snorkeling then headed back to the villa for lunch and to kick back and relax. After lunch we were out again to explore a new beach. The local restaurants we tried at night were excellent and the people really friendly. I would highly recommend Keila's beautiful house to any family or couple that wants to have a relaxing and memorable vacation.
The view was amazing, but other aspects of the rental were underwhelming. There are no doors on any of the bedrooms, so we had to put makeshift towel screens up to change and get a little privacy. The kitchen pots/pans were pretty old and beat up and there wasn't a toaster, even though it was listed that there was, so we had to make toast in a pan. The coffee maker was dirty and had not been cleaned from the previous renters. Even though the refrigerator was turned on low, it froze most of our produce and fruit, making some of it unusable. The driveway is very steep and requires 4W drive. The lawn chairs on the porch were broken. Overall, we were expecting more than we got and though it was a little overpriced for what it was.
I am so glad my family and I rented this Amazing Villa! The villa is situated overlooking the harbor in close proximity to town, just far enough to enjoy peace and quiet. THE VIEW FROM THE DECK WAS BREATHTAKING! The house was immaculate and accommodated four people comfortably. It was also stocked with everything we could need.
Our host couldn't have been more accommodating for our short stay. She made sure we had everything we needed. The Villa's caretaker was also very helpful and friendly. Thank you Keila and Hector!
We hope to return to Culebra and the Villa soon!!!
A beautiful spot on a beautiful island! At the end of every family vacation, my family of 4 says what they liked an didn't like about vacation, and gives any input for future vacations. We all agreed that Culebra was our favorite spot yet (over Vieques and St. John) and that we would stay in this villa again. The view from the deck is unbelievable and if you're looking to relax, this is the spot. We loved that it was a quiet spot just for us, the family, with no one else around. Snorkeling is amazing, locals are friendly, and the villa has everything you need.
Thank you for a fabulous week!
Having being to Culebra 20 years ago with my wife, we decided to bring the kids, oldest being 18. I chose Villa Pugue based on number of rooms and the pictures on the website. We arrived to Culebra on the ferry, and met one of my hosts at the car rental. The view from the deck of the house was spectacular, and made any imperfection we could find with the house meaningless. The house is 10 minutes to anything (beach, market, restaurants.) We used the kitchen every day. The beaches were out of this world, and being older now we appreciated them more. The kids never complained once, and were ready to go every morning. We took a trip to Culebrita and it was the highlight of the vacation. Flamenco beach was ranked 2nd in the world by tripadvisor this year, but the beaches at Culebrita were even better. On Culebra island itself my wife and I prefer Zoni Beach, and my kids were divided, My son likes to ride the waves, so his favorite was Brava Beach. The house had beach chairs, a cooler, and some snorkeling equipment. (We brought our own snorkeling equipment.) The house had excellent air conditioning. The owners instructions via email were accurate, not surprisingly since she practically grew up in Culebra. My dealings with her were pleasant and professional. We even did laundry. There was a washer and lines to air dry. We already miss watching the sunsets over the bay every day. As previous reviewers pointed out, there are no doors inside the house, so you have to announce yourself when walking into rooms. The bathroom in the main area had a see through glass window. We put up paper towels to cover it while we were there. It was a source of jokes. But in all, my family has rated this one as the best vacation ever.

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

Wsm May 2011
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++ developer's c o r n e r 13May2011 www.WusikSoundMagazine.com only sound you will get from Evolution is a simple sine wave. So how easy is it to load a pre-set? Well it's as simple as clicking on the "Tick" which is second in the list of buttons under the main interface, sandwiched between the left and right arrows. Upon clicking this the main interface displays options as to what kind of pre-set you would like to load. Choices are Synth, Bass, String, Piano, Pad or Other. Right, let's start at the beginning, with a Synth, so I click on the synth option and I am now into the pre-set list. There are loads of pre-sets available in the synth section, anything from a 303 emulation to a trance pluck to full dance lead. The first pre-set I load is called Brassed Down – Trumpet Brass Synth 80's. Quickly playing a few notes on my midi controller, I am struck by the high quality of this sound. It reminds me of the Van Halen "Jump" synth and is instantly playable. I have to force myself from playing as I do tend to get carried away with ideas, and I load another pre-set. This time I try Broken Sound – Metal Lead Sound and again I am struck by the quality of this sound, indeed very metallic and crystal clear. Very impressive once again, and I am forced to pry myself off this pre-set and try another, this time I am going to alter it myself. I decided on Euro Lead 2 by Alan Hinton. A very nice, clear lead which would be acceptable in any Euro-core or even Hard style track. The pre-set is very usable in its original state, but can I add a little something using Evolutions additional options? Firstly, I click on the oscillator (OSC) tab which is below-left of the main interface, to open Evolution's oscillators. All four are switched on, using sawtooth waveforms, each one detuned and transposed to create the Euro Lead sound. Moving to the ROM tab, I can see that this ROM consists of 4 layers, 4 samples, and that each layer has different volume, transposition and fine tune settings. Moving to the modulation (MOD) tab brings up the envelope options, of which there are two, and the modulation matrix. Both are empty, so I have plenty of scope to introduce options here. Moving to the next tab brings up the Low Frequency Oscillator options (LFO); both are set to off, so are not being used, again allowing me the ability to introduce them. The next tab is the effects (FX) section, where you can choose from Chorus, Decimator, EQ, Distortion, Reverb or Delay, or you can set Evolution's main filter type here. These consist of Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass, and then Low PassII, High PassII, and Band PassII which can only mean that CubicAudio have their own types of filter. The final tab is the options (OPT) tab where you can set the quality of the ROM used, and the number of voices Evolution uses too. I set these both to maximum for testing purposes to see how CPU hungry Evolution is. Back to the oscillator section. I changed all the waveforms, altered the octaves and fine tuning and the panning of each oscillator. I then moved to the Modulation Matrix and set Modulation Envelope 1 to the global pitch and created an envelope to alter it. I also introduced an LFO to control the filter cut-off, and changed the values in the LFO section. I then added an EQ to tame the highs. I then adjusted the main Delay and Reverb controls to suit, and started to play back what I have created. What became apparent is that I'm not going to win any sound design awards, but I did what I wanted to do, and that was to create an extreme pre-set to stress test Evolution, to see how it would cope with a lot of different things going on. The result? Amazing--it was a lot lower than the 25% threshold I normally set for a synth under such stress, it came through with flying colours at 11% ASIO/CPU use (depends on your point of view about meters in DAWs regarding this.) I am very impressed with this performance, considering I also set ROM quality to very high and used the maximum 128 voices, which was pure overkill. Evolution stands up well in performance vs quality statistics. All synths consume CPU, some more than others, but that's the price to pay for quality sounds. I am extremely pleased with the way Evolution performs and I can see the ROM system paying dividends. I loaded a fresh pre-set into Evolution, this time I chose the 303 Acid – 303 type emulation. Straight away you can tell the distinct acid sound, and with a quick adjustment of the Filter's ADSR, which is another great feature, I was able to modulate the Acid sound further, sparking many ideas on how I can use it. What has become apparent to me is that Evolution, as with many ROMpler style plug-ins, has the ability to introduce ideas through the pre- programmed sounds, without the headache of learning synthesis, and then gives you the option to expand on your ideas, by making each pre-set

More exploration for black gold in Libya
Libya could proceed with a new round of oil exploration and production deals in the transitional period but the priority for now is to maintain pre-war output levels and future targets, the OPEC member's new oil minister said.
The Gulf Daily News reported that Libya has lifted output faster than analysts had expected to around 1.5-1.6 million barrels per day (bpd) after last year's war, which toppled former dictator Gaddafi from power.
"Our priority is to maintain production at 1.5m bpd," Abdelbari Al Arusi said. "We now have our target to increase production by 100,000 bpd for the coming few months, and then we're planning to drill more wells to increase our production rate."
The National Oil Corporation aims to boost output to 1.72m bpd by end-March but has warned of the risk that strikes could interrupt production.
The minister reiterated Libya's target of increasing output to 2m bpd by 2015.
He said Libya would review its last round of exploration and production sharing agreements (EPSA) and "come up with the right solution for new negotiations in the future".
Until late 2004, unexplored territory had been off-limits for decades because of sanctions. In the last bidding round after which land opened up and a scramble for acreage ensued, companies accepted some of the industry's tightest exploration and production deals.
"This EPSA IV (the last round) will be reviewed for the interest of the Libyans and our partners. A lot of companies have complained about it. We don't like people to lose, because this is a win-win business," he said.
Asked if Libya is likely to see another licensing round within the next 15 months, he said, "Could be, I am not sure; it depends on the situation here in Libya". Ahead of OPEC's meeting in Vienna on Wednesday, he described recent oil prices levels at around $110 a barrel as "reasonable"

Chemotherapy may be given in many ways.
Things to know about getting chemotherapy through an IV
Chemotherapy is often given through a thin needle that is placed in a vein on your hand or lower arm. Your nurse will put the needle in at the start of each treatment and remove it when treatment is over. Let your doctor or nurse know right away if you feel pain or burning while you are getting IV chemotherapy.
IV chemotherapy is often given through catheters or ports, sometimes with the help of a pump.
