Despite the start of the high tourism season, the number of visitors to the Coast remains low, tourism players said yesterday. They said the high season starts mid-July but bookings remain low in most hotels. Kenya Association of HotelKeepers and Caterers executive director Sam Ikwaye blamed the travel advisories by the UK government and insecurity at the Coast.
Speaking to the Star on the phone yesterday, Ikwaye said tourism has suffered a major blow this year. "We are optimistic that things will change with time. We are capitalising on local tourism because in August many schools close and parents come to Mombasa for holidays," he said.
Ikwaye said the Mombasa Cultural International Festival will be used to lure many more regional and local tourists. Tui Travel, one of UK's biggest travel companies, pulled out of the Kenya market and evacuated all its clients from the Coast in May, after the advisories.
It is however expected to resume operations in October if security problems are solved and tourists are assured of their safety while in Kenya. KAHK said they have to capitalise on local tourism since a big number of foreigners is only expected into the country by next year.
Kenya Coast Tourist Association chief executive officer Millicent Odhiambo said they hope for the best despite losing inter- national tourists. She said some European countries like Italy and Germany still have confidence in Kenya. "Italians and Germans are still flooking to the country because they still believe in Kenya," she said.
The bed occupancy in many hotels in the region at the moment ranges between 30 and 40 per cent, which should be much higher during this time of the year.
Odhiambo said almost all hotels are recording poor international bookings. She said the country should have started receiving international charter planes with tourists by now.

Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals Tickets
Paul Brown stadium fans are familiar with going there to watch their favorite team play some football but did you know that there is another season Bengal fans can get in on? It's an events season and it goes year round. With the unique event spaces, elegant décor, spectacular views, video walls, delicious food they play host to a variety of events from corporate meetings to wedding receptions. See the hometeam website for info.
Seems like not only are the rookies going to have some issues with some new rules coming down but so are the long-term players too. A few hours after Left Tackle Andrew Whitworth expressed concern about how the officials are going to interpret new points of emphasis this season in the offensive line. A.J. Green says he is going to keep playing like he has been playing despite having a 63 yard touch-down pass called back because they ruled that he pushed off for offensive pass interference, that breaks one of the new rules being implemented by the NFL, Bengals coordinator Hue Jackson said until everyone gets used to the changes is going to be quite an adjustment.
One rookie who is not scared of anything being sent his way is running-back Jeremy Hill. Anyone who admits they are constantly changing and learning is someone to pay attention to. He said running backs coach, Kyle Caskey talked with him about his closing game and how to read the field and get a scope out on everybody.
There is a new stadium bag/purse policy going into effect this year at game 1 of the pre-season for every NFL team so please be aware no bag/purse will be allowed unless it is:
- Clean Tote, vinyl, pvc, plastic. Do not exceed 12"x6"12 OR
- Plastic storage bag: 1 gallon (Ziploc or similar brand)
- Small clutch purse with or w/0 a handle, no larger than 5.5" x – 8.5"
Please refer to stadium guidelines on an approved site for any further questions.

Cincinnati Bengals History
Paul Brown Stadium
This stadium opened August 19, 2000 at a cost of $455 million in 2000. The surface of this stadium is one of the first to utilize the new UBU-Speed Series-S5-M Synthetic Turf. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio and home to the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League and the Cincinnati Bearcats, the NCAA Athletic teams. Naming of the stadium was relatively easy as they chose Bengal's founder Paul Brown to bestow the honor upon. The facility is nicknamed "The Jungle" an allusion to the Bengal tiger's natural habitat. Mostly used for sporting events the facility is also used annually for the Queen City Classic Chess Tournament, The Macy's Music Festival is held there yearly also. 2012 was the first year the stadium hosted a major concert event. Seating capacity at The Jungle is 65,535 with seating options for 114 private suites and 7600 club seats available for purchase. Amenities include in-seat food and beverage service and access to the club lounges for fine dining options. The stadium's logo was designed by John Winger, then student of Graphic design at the University of Cincinnati. Paul Brown Stadium is the only football stadium to make the list of "America's favorite 150 buildings and structures". Paul Brown Stadium ranked 101 on the list of skyscrapers, museums, churches, hotels, national memorials and more. No other football team stadium ranked, and among sports venues, only Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium.

BLACKFOOT — Blackfoot High School's dual enrollment program has grown in recent years and students are now able to choose from 33 dual credit courses and other college credit options while in high school.
Blackfoot High School Principal John Pearce and Dean of Students and Counselor Vicki Johnson made a presentation to the Blackfoot School Board of Trustees last week about the advanced education opportunities currently offered at BHS.
BLACKFOOT — The attorney representing Michael Roy Conn was in court Monday requesting reconsideration of Rule 35, a motion for reduction of sentence.
Conn is a former Blackfoot City Parks department employee who pled guilty to one count of sexual battery with a minor 16 or 17 years old in September 2010. He was sentenced to seven to 17 years in prison. He must also register as a sex offender.
CALDWELL — It was a scene that played out all year long. Anytime Blackfoot or Snake River soccer was discussed you couldn't help but notice the smiles and the pride that fans showed towards the two teams.
What will catch those unfamiliar with the two squads by surprise is the genuine love that the two teams have for one another. Yes, long time rivals have become best of friends both on and off the field, well at least on the soccer pitch that is.
BLACKFOOT — For many members of the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team of the Idaho National Guard, being away from their homes and families is not a new experience — several just completed their second or third deployment— but each time coming home is just as sweet.
The community of Blackfoot welcomed home the 116th Saturday night with an informal bonfire and chili dinner. Several guardsmen and their families were in attendance.
POCATELLO — A member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes with an extensive history as a non-degreed engineer disagrees with the Environmental Protection Agency's assertion that there is no safe alternative to capping the former FMC site of the Eastern Michaud Flats Superfund site, which lies largely within the Fort Hall Indian Reservation.
The site contains a variety of dangerous materials, including elemental phosphorus and radioactive materials.
SHELLEY – Three Shelley schools—Shelley High School (SHS), Sunrise Elementary and Hobbs Middle School—received letters of commendation from the Idaho Department of Education. These three schools have met the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standards set by the State of Idaho.
"All three schools met AYP standards in all 41 categories," said Superintendent Bryan Jolley.
The football team from SHS was also named academic state champions for fall sports in the 4A division, he said.
POCATELLO — Blackfoot High School government teacher Holly Kartchner was surprised when her name was left off the program of the Idaho State Journal's Business and Achievement Awards on Thursday.
She was more surprised a few minutes later when she was named as the 2011 recipient of the Education/K-12 award.
"I believe we need to fight the arrogance of ignorance," she said in accepting the award. "It's my responsibility to destroy that arrogance of ignorance and let (her students) become the community members she wants to be."
MORELAND — In recognition of National Fire Prevention Week, firemen from the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) spoke to students at Moreland Elementary Thursday.
"In case of a fire in your house, what are you supposed to do?" asked INL fireman Todd Leavitt.
"Get out," was the reply.
"What if you can't get out of your room? Are you supposed to hide in a closet or under the bed?"
"No," the students replied.
"When we come crawling in to find you, slap the floor hard so we can hear you," Leavitt said.
"What if your clothes are on fire?" he asked.
BLACKFOOT — Blackfoot School Board Trustee Bryce Lloyd submitted his resignation at the board meeting Thursday and Dr. Taylor Johansen was appointed to fill the vacancy.
In tending his resignation, Lloyd said he didn't have the time to devote to the school board and to his professional and personal obligations. Lloyd said he spoke to his constituents in Groveland to receive recommendations on who should be appointed to fill the Zone 4 vacancy. He recommended Johansen, who was approved on a 4-1 vote with Trustee Pete Lipovac casting the dissenting vote.

Town hall - home of the town
The town hall of Apeldoorn has to be the heart of the city; a building where local authorities, officials, civil servants and visitors feel comfortable; a meeting and reception place.
Architect Hans Ruijssenaars created the building and did succeed in using as much as possible of daylight. Everybody is surprised by the amount of light inside the building. This fact is intensified by the white colours of the walls and ceilings. The best place to see the impact of this way of building is the impressive main entrance hall with its staircases to the upper floors.
The (new) town hall is open for the workers and the public since the year of 1993. There are offices for about 1.000 civil servants. It is (of course) free to take a look inside the building.
The town hall is located at the Marktplein (Market Square) in the heart of the city centre of Apeldoorn; just 500 metres from the train and bus station (with a bus stop just opposite the building) and also easy accessible by car with a huge parking garage beneath the building.

'Kwartjesfontein': spurting again
The 'Kwartjesfontein' (Quarters Fountain) is one of Apeldoorn's 800 monuments. The fountain was a gift of the society of the town of Apeldoorn in memory of former Mayor Mr. H.P.J. Tutein Nolthenius. The money for the fountain was – literally with 'quarters' – brought together by the inhabitants of Apeldoorn.
The fountain – made by famous sculptor Pieter Puype - was originally unveiled in 1932 by Crown Princess Juliana. It stood in the pond of the Oranjepark, where it was spurting for many years till it was removed due to aging 'problems'. It was brought to the town yard.
The fountain was noticed and the 'Stichting Apeldoornse Monumenten' (Foundation Apeldoorn Monuments) took the initiative for restoring the fountain. Again residents (with the help of sponsors) brought together the money for the restoration.
The fountain has been thoroughly renovated and equipped with contemporary technology. On April 16 of 2009 the fountain was placed in the pond of the 'Verzetstrijderspark' (Resistance Fighters Park). It should haven been unveiled on April 30, but due to the dramatic attack during Queens Day in Apeldoorn it was postponed till August.
But in the meantime the fountain is spurting again and without any doubt it is an enrichment of the 'Verzetstrijderspark', proudly standing in the pond in front of the impressive Villa Marialust, one of the most beautiful areas of my hometown.
Living in the same area we often walk around enjoying these parks and fountains, even when it is raining like the day I shoot my pictures. It is rather close to the city centre and on walk able distance.

Verzetstrijderspark: honouring resistance fighters
'Verzetstrijderspark' is one of our city parks and didn't have an official name - although locals always called it 'Marialust' after the mansion in the park. In 1970 - in the context of the upcoming fifth anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands - the council of Apeldoorn decided to name it 'Verzetstrijderspark' (Resistance Fighters Park) in honour of these brave men.
Being part of the only remaining rural estate, more or less in the centre of the town, it has a lovely setting with a little forest, a meadow with grazing sheep, horses or cows, a pond with a spurting fountain, a man made ditch and the impressive white coloured mansion Marialust, built in 1825.
Since 2009 it has a fountain - the so called Kwartjesfontein - in the middle of the pond, which is spurting 'day and night'. The park has also a memorial bench for Mister M. van Wijhe, one of the city councillors. The bench was unveiled in 1934. From there you will have a wonderful view over the pond and fountain.
May 2010 Mayor De Graaf of Apeldoorn unveiled a monument in honour of fourteen resistance fighters, who were active in Apeldoorn during WWII and engaged in sabotage, attacks and forgery of documents. Some of them were arrested and executed, others died in German camps.
The names of these fighters are engraved in fourteen granite stones, which have a polished surface with the name of each of these resistance fighters; a simple but impressive monument. In June 2011 three more names - and stones - were added and now there are seventeen stones in this monument. With this monument the park became a real 'Verzetstrijderspark'.
Verzetstrijderspark is located along the Generaal van Heutszlaan in the so called Parkenbuurt on walking distance from the city centre.

Waterfall of Loenen, the highest of the Netherland
As my country is rather flat, there are not many waterfalls in streams and rivers in the Netherlands. But not far away from Apeldoorn you will find the 'Niagara of the Veluwe'. This waterfall in the so called 'Vrijenbergspreng' has a fall of 15 metres (in 4 steps). As a matter of fact there is a second waterfall upstream with two steps and about 10 metres high.
Both waterfalls are situated in a 'spreng', which is a dug water course. These man made artificial brooks on the Veluwe stream for kilometres from a dug spring with groundwater to the end, usually another (natural) river or canal.
It is rather easily to recognise these 'sprengen': in the beginning (near the artificial spring) having often steep and deep slopes and always being as straight as possible
The 'Vrijenbergspreng' - with the two waterfalls - was dug in 1825 and the water flew into the 'Apeldoorns Kanaal' to keep the water level high enough for shipping traffic. It has a length of about 6 km's ands flows through a beautiful landscape.
Both waterfalls are located close to the road between Beekbergen and Loenen, about 10 km's south of Apeldoorn.
Look out for the sign: "P waterval". Accessible by, car, bike and bus (line 119 from Apeldoorn, stop 'Vrijenberg').
The waterfall is about 200 metres from the car park; for the smaller one follow the 'spreng' upstream for about 1 1/2 km's.
There is no admission fee.
Castle ter Horst - medieval gem
One of the most unknown sights in Apeldoorn is 'Castle ter Horst'. It is situated in the village of Loenen, about 15 km's south east of Apeldoorn. The castle was built in 1557 and during an alteration stables and coach houses were added to the premises. The orangery is even older than the castle and was used by the owners as a grain shed.
The castle is surrounded by a moat and very impressive English gardens. In every season it is a pleasure to walk around. The castle is also an official wedding location and some of the rooms can be rented.
Visitors can take a look inside the castle only with a guided tour. Most of them are on Mondays during June, July, August and September and on two Mondays in October. Check the times at the website.
Address: Hoofdweg 74, Loenen (Veluwe)

Accessible: car or bike; public transportation by bus till Loenen and then a walk of 1 km.

De Ruitersmolen – historical monument
The watermill 'Ruitersmolen' is one of the few historical monuments in the village of Beekbergen. The mill was built already in the year of 1606 and originally used as a paper mill. During that period there were a lot of paper mills on the Veluwe using the water, which flowed from the hills.
In 1843 it became a flourmill, which was used even after World War II. After the closure of the mill the building - as so often with these kinds of monuments - deteriorated much and it became more or less a ruin. Fortunately a group of volunteers restored this old mill and it even can be used again. There is a fall of the water of 2,5 metres.
Nowadays it is located in a nice setting of a stream (Beekbergse Beek), some mill ponds, woodland and a botanical garden next to the mill. The mill has a small shop and it is possible to get a drink.
The mill can be visited the whole year on Tuesday and Thursday from 9.00 – 16.00 hours.
From the end of June till September: Tuesday and Thursday 9.00 – 16.00 hours, Wednesday and Friday 10.00 – 17.00 hours, Saturday and Sunday 13.30 – 17.00 hours.
Address: De Ruitersmolen Tullekensmolenweg 47 7361 EP Beekbergen, located about 6 km's south of Apeldoorn; accessible by car or bike. Public transportation to Beekbergen and on foot about 1 ½ km's.

Beekbergen – the Old Church
The Protestant Church in the village of Beekbergen is often called 'De Oude Kerk' (the Old Church). As a matter of fact it is the oldest constructional monument in our municipality. Although I passed the church many times, I didn't realise the building being so old till I did read an article in our local paper.
The history of the church is dating back till the year 800, when a first small wooden church was built on this spot. The church in its present shape dates from the 15th century; tuff stones of the oldest church have been used for the tower.
The church has some very beautiful and interesting frescoes and murals (dating from the 16th and 15th century) and a couple of old tombstones. Unique is the organ of the church, built by Johann Schilling and donated by King William I to the church in Beekbergen.
The church is located in the centre of the village - Kerkweg 35, 7361 BD Beekbergen (6 km's south of Apeldoorn) and you can not miss it.
Accessible by car or bike.
Public transportation by bus, line 43 from Apeldoorn.
Open for visitors: June, July, August and September, every Wednesday from 13.30 – 17.00 hours. During these opening hours are guides available and the organ will be played.

Hoog Buurlo – sheep village
It must be one of the smallest villages in the world. Hoog Buurlo has only two houses, three inhabitants, two sheep folds and more than hundred sheep. The 'village' is situated on a hill in the middle of the forests of the Veluwe.
The shepherd and his flock have to walk 500 metres before they reach the vast heath land of Hoog Buurlo. There is a lot of space in this hilly landscape, which is one of the most scenic in the country.
The sheep are staying in a new sheep fold (opened January 2009) in Hoog Buurlo. It is now possible for the sheep to stay the whole year in this fold and to have their lambs here.
Hoog Buurlo is only accessible by car or bike, about 10 km's southwest of Apeldoorn.
By car you have to use one of the car parks along the road and to walk to 'the 'village'. Or just make a walk over the heath.

Hoog Soeren - 'mountain' village
Hoog Soeren is situated about 5 km's west of Apeldoorn and as we (often) go on our bikes to this village we have a constant climb till we reach the 'mountain' of Hoog Soeren, 100 metres above sea level.
Its hilly scenery is unique for the Veluwe, also its location in the middle of vast woods. It is a great starting point for walks in the so-called "Kroondomeinen" (former in possession of the Dutch royal family). Be aware that parts of the wood are closed for the public from September 16 till December 26, to guarantee some rest to the deer and wild boar.
Originally Hoog Soeren was a small village with some farmers and forestry workers. Nowadays it is a very quiet and notable neighbourhood with lots of beautiful homes situated among the forests. Only in the weekends things get going and sometimes even the main road in Hoog Soeren has (small) traffic jams.
The village has quite an old chapel, still used for services and nowadays also for wedding ceremonies (http://www.kapel-hoogsoeren.nl/gebouwen-kapel.htm).
Hoog Soeren has two hotels with a restaurant and a terrace; nice places for a cup of coffee or tea after a walk or bike tour. There is also a famous pancake restaurant (see 'restaurant' tip).

Wenum - Oranjemolen ('t Haasje)
The only traditional wind mill of Apeldoorn - Oranjemolen or 't Haasje - is situated in the neighbourhood of Wenum, very close to the Wenume Water Mill. Driving the old road from Apeldoorn to Vaassen you have to pass the bridge close to the water mill and after 100 metres you see the wind mill on the right hand side, standing in a typical Dutch scenery with some meadows and edges of a wood.
Of course the mill is standing on a small elevation, because it has to catch the wind. You can come very close to the mill, due to its location along a public road. The mill has been restored in 2007 and looks a lot better now. If you are lucky, as I was during my last 'photo visit', you may see the mill running.
The present mill was built in 1840 in the village of Baambrugge and did replace the original mill on the same spot. The miller 'Vorderman' was one of the well known families of Apeldoorn.

'Wenumse Watermolen' - power of water
'Wenum Water Mill'
In and around Apeldoorn, more or less along the Veluwe massif, once were lots of water mills. They used the power of the water, streaming through small brooks from the hills of the Veluwe to the rivers of Rhine and IJssel.
People, living here, already built in the 13e century mills along this brooks. They were used for milling grain, striking oil from seeds, rolling copper and producing paper. Later on some of these mills were converted into laundries.
The 'Wenumse Watermolen' is a typical example of this kind of mill history. Built in or even before the year 1313 it was first a grain mill. In the 18th century the mill was used as a copper mill. In 1917 the stone building (see picture) was built and the mill used again as a grain mill.
After a restoration the mill is owned by the local council from 1972 and managed by volunteers. This original water mill is opened for visitors every first Saturday of a month from 10.00 – 16.00 hours (or on demand for groups). Check opening hours at the Tourist Information Office (www.vvvapeldoorn.nl).
I don't say a wrong word if telling you this is a very idyllic spot: the stone building with millstones, a brook, an old bridge and just opposite the mill a large pond (called 'wijerd'). Nowadays used by the locals for fishing. Close to this water mill is also Apeldoorn's only wind mill.
The mill is situated in the neighbourhood of Wenum (Oude Zwolseweg 164), about 5 km's north of Apeldoorn.
The best way to visit is by (rental) bike or car.

Statue of King William I
Another piece of 'Royal Apeldoorn'. This statue of King William I is situated on the Raadhuisplein in front of the old town hall of Apeldoorn and he is now overlooking the main shopping street of my hometown.
King William I was one of the royal inhabitants of the palace Het Loo, after the decision of the government to put the palace at the disposal of the royal family. He often stayed in Apeldoorn.
This statue is a remembrance of the 100th anniversary of the independence of the kingdom of the Netherlands and was a gift of citizens of Apeldoorn. It was unveiled on September 2 in 1913. It was made by the sculptor Pieter Puype.
The statue can be found on the Raadhuisplein, in the heart of the city.

Grote Kerk
The Grote Kerk (Large Church) was built in 1892 on the foundations of an even older church of 1842 (financed by King Willem I).
It is one of the oldest and largest churches in Apeldoorn and was and is a 'royal' church. Queen Wilhelmina often went to the Grote Kerk and nowadays there are still royal weddings and christening ceremonies.
In front of the church is a statue of former Queen Wilhelmina.
Open for visitors: Wednesday and Saturday afternoon from 1.30 - 3.30 pm (May till September).

Statue of Queen Wilhelmina
Queen Wilhelmina had a strong bond with Apeldoorn. She was often on Palace Het Loo and lived here until she died in 1962.
Although the palace has its own chapel, she often went to church in the 'Grote Kerk'.
In front of 'her' church you will find this statue, unveiled in 1998. It is a memory of the 100th anniversary of the coronation of Wilhelmina as queen of the Netherlands. On that particular moment she was just 18 years old.
The statue is made by Greet Grottendieck, a sculptress living in Wenum Wiesel near Apeldoorn and was a gift of Rotary Apeldoorn.

Oranjepark in springtime
The Oranjepark is the main green oasis in the city and a haven of peace for the citizens of Apeldoorn.
But in springtime it seems if a lot more people, students of a nearby school and photographers are attracted by the thousands of flowering bulbs. Crocusses are spread over in the whole park and in one corner of the park there are also a lot of daffodils.
And on a nice sunny day it is just the feeling of 'SPRING IS IN THE AIR' !!!
Crocusses are flowering around early March.

In Illustrator CS5 One-on-One: Advanced, author and industry expert Deke McClelland teaches how to take advantage of the wide array of dynamic features in Illustrator CS5. This course demonstrates how to apply these features to paths, groups, and editable text to create professional-quality artwork. The course covers Live Trace, Live Paint, and Live Color, as well as symbols, gradients, exporting, and integration with Photoshop. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this exercise, I am going show you had add objects to on opacity mask. I will saved my progress as Empty opacity mask.ai and I am going to go ahead and scroll down here, so I can see the reflection. Now let's say I want modify the opacity mask, well, I look here to the transparency panel and I can't see it, in my case, you may be able to, if you are still working along with me but I can't see mine. Why is that? Well I don't have the right layer selected, so I click on it. Still can't see it and that's because I need to select that exact object that contains the opacity mask and that happens be the entire layer so I need to meatball it, like so and now I can see both the contents of the layer represented in the left-hand thumbnail and the layer mask represented in right-hand thumbnail.
Now, the layer mask happens to be completely white, which means that I can see the entire contents of this layer. I am going click on the Opacity Mask to edit it. This is a very important step and it's easy to forget believe it or not, when you are working right inside of Illustrator that you've got to take a moment to click on the opacity mask to make it active, you want to see layers, opacity mask in the layers panel and then you can add your objects. So I'll grab the Rectangle tool, what the heck, well that I can get by pressing the 'M' key of course. I will draw inside of the light bulb and I can -- what looks like a rectangle with a white stroke, what in the world is going on? Well, what you have really drawn is a rectangle that's filled with white, notice up here in the Control panel, it's filled with white and it has a black stroke.
Let's change this stroke weight for moment, so I can just show you what's going on. I am going to increase that stroke weight to let's say 12 points and what's happening here is this black stroke is cutting a hole in the layer because black in your opacity mask means conceal that is, it's cutting a hole and white in the opacity mask means reveal, that is its restoring the contents of that layer. So what if we want this entire square to be a hole, well go up to the Control panel and click on that Fill icon and switch to this black swatch and by the way you don't need a rich black or anything like that when you're working inside of an opacity mask, just a 100% black does the trick and typically you're just working with black values.
You can assign color but it makes your results very unpredictable, here inside the opacity mask. Next, I suggest we get rid of the stroke. So I don't tend to like to use strokes as opacity elements. So I will click on the Stroke Swatch and then I will change it to none. So the result is a square hole inside of the light bulb, I am going to go ahead and scale it by grabbing my Scale tool and I'm going to drag like so just to make a little bigger so we are covering up most the bulb. Now I want to show you how to create a Reveal. Let's say, I want to do it with a circle this time, just for the sake of variety.
So I will click and hold on Rectangle tool, choose the Ellipse tool or I could press the 'L' key and I will go ahead and draw a circle inside of this area. It's still set to black because that was my last attribute that I had assigned. I will go up to the Control panel, click on a Fill swatch and change it to white and than it goes ahead and reveals the contents of that layer. And so you can do this as much as you want and you can definitely by the way, paint with shades of gray in order to create gradients. It's a very popular way to work. In fact, in my opinion that's about the best way to work there is, because think about it here, if only you want to do is create a hole in a path, then you can use a compound path or a compound shape, both of which are more convenient than resorting to an opacity mask and if all you want to do is put a bunch of paths inside the container, then a clipping path is a way to go.
However if you want the contents of the layer to gradually fade away, then a Gradient Opacity Mask is the way to go in Illustrator and I will show you how to create just such a mask in the next exercise.

Everybody had been talking about rain the last two days. I didn't pay much attention to them because I HAD SEEN IT RAIN BEFORE. It was strange, here it was Sunday and nobody was out on the lake in their boat, cruising along. I mentioned that to the Hubby and he looked at me as though I was from another planet. Woman don't you know there is a storm coming. Well, it was nice and warm; the wind wasn't even blowing very much. My neighbor was next door raking his yard and mowing. I mentioned to him in a serious manner, I heard it was going to rain. He looked at me kinda strange as if to say, haven't you seen it rain before. I didn't pursue that subject anymore. He thanked us for using our lawn mower; you see his wouldn't start so as a good neighbor, we offered him ours. When he was finished he put the mower back in the shed and waved good bye and went back to his other home. You see most people on the lake have another home somewhere else. The Hubby says, poor things, they aren't retired yet. You see there are a lot of great things about retirement. But I won't go into that subject because I am on a more serious subject. RAIN!
As I was crawling in my bed this man started talking, poor Hubby was about a sleep and he raised up and said, "Who is that in our house downstairs?" I had to assure him that it was the weather machine telling us what was happening. Well, I ran down the stairs just as he told us Logan County was going to have a strong storm. Fifty mile an hour wind and for us to be calm and stay away from the windows. It just occurred to me, I didn't have another place to go in our little cabin that did not have windows so I just jumped in the bed and covered up my head. I waited and waited NOTHING happened! I woke the Hubby up to tell him the storm had not hit. For some reason he got mad and shouted with his "mean" voice, Go to sleep Woman! It probably went around us. Just in case the lights went out, I went downstairs again and located my "big old light". I hate being in a dark house in a rain storm.
Well, much to my surprise I went to sleep. But all of a sudden I woke to a large BOOM and a streak of lighting that lit up my room. The rain was pouring down and I didn't know whether to cover my head or jump under the bed. The wind was blowing 90 miles an hour and there was no Hubby in the bed. I ran downstairs like a crazy person and woke him up AGAIN and asked, "Why are you down here sleeping. Of course he replied, "you know you usually sleep anywhere you can when it is dark outside". You were snoring so loud you woke me up and I came down to my favorite chair to get away from you. Now here you are down here waking me up AGAIN. But I replied, "it's a storm outside". And as always, he said, SOOOOOO. It's not like you have been talking about it all day long. It is finally here so go back to bed. I had to have the last word, well smarty it didn't go around us like you said. That's when the fight started.
Mother Nature not only is "off her rocker". She fell completely out of her chair. She has no control at all anymore. We just got that water off our yard and here it is raining again. The worst part is I had finally decided to go fishing with the Hubby today. I think that was the reason he was in a bad mood when I woke him up. He knew he would not have a great day doing his most favorite thing with me. Well, till next week and the next fishing trip, its old TG telling you to as always ENJOY THE MOMEN, even if it is storming. They say, "Into every life a little rain must fall". I don't know who said that but I am sick and tired of being sick of rain! Happy rainbows and all that good stuff. Bye now.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
No one claims SXSW packs the old excitement, and that was why I was there. With indie/alt rock's next-big-thing phase a sick joke and its innovative impulses drained by professionalism, neotraditionalism, and the lines around its eyes, I wanted to measure its mood. Excited it wasn't, except insofar as excitement is a way of life in rock and roll of the old-fashioned sort, typified for me by the non-Hispanic woman who cried out at one hot Cesar Rosas number: "Ma-mi! Jeeze, Louise!" But the 6800 conventioneers were up about 600 from 1998 (not to mention 5000 from my last visit), and Austin's musical demographics remained impressive. At SXSW 89 I stressed how unprecedented indie rock was there hadn't been nearly so many bands in the halcyon '60s. Well, crossover prospects be damned, there are now way more, and nowhere else in the world are they consumed so voraciously. On a seven-block stretch running across Sixth Street and up Red River were clustered 16 SXSW venues, most of which dwarfed comparable Manhattan spots (two boasted two stages, a third four), with even bigger joints like Antone's, Liberty Lunch, and La Zona Rosa a few blocks west. Civilians outnumbered conventioneers at most gigs even with the university on spring break. No wonder musicians keep moving to Austin.
Yet the rock generated in this guitar-hooked white-and-Chicano town, where the flagship Antone's label specializes in blues and the commitment of alt-country began with Willie Nelson, has pretty much been a bust nationally. That's why the auteurs of 1998's "The Way" were honored with their own panel: "The Fastball Story" a prerequisite, The Austin Chronicle noted, for next year's "What Ever Happened to Fastball?" SXSW 99 featured discussions of megacorp consolidation and a&r meddling and radio gatekeeping and soundtrack politics and Bowie Bonds; philosophical explorations of how lyrics mean and what is jazz and the legends of Hank Williams, Frank Sinatra, and the MC5; showcases for Mercury Rev, Beth Orton, and dimmer chart hopefuls. But with too many old indie rockers unemployed and plenty of young ones looking for work, the mood that prevailed was the kind of nuts-and-bolts careerism that aims to pay the bills, not conquer the world: "Challenges Facing Regional Coverage," "Creative Marketing in a Saturated Market," "Managing in the Red," "Get a Job (By Creating Your Own)," lotsa Net stuff, and nine demo-listening sessions divided by genre, three of them for rock.
Remarkably, most of the talk was interesting, too. Arriving Thursday afternoon and signed up to hold forth on lyrics and Sinatra Friday, I ended up visiting only seven other panels; I found it easier to walk out on bands than to leave Jeff Salamon's dance-music or Jason Gross's Internet parley. This is partly because SXSW, which was conceived at the Chronicle, has always relied on journalists like netziner Gross and old Voice stalwart Salamon, and journalists like coherence. But the main reason there was so little self-indulgence or spacing out from rostrum or floor is that everyone believed there was work to be done. Very few in this very cross-generational gathering of white people could be described as big wheels. For almost all of them, moaning about the UniGram behemoth was subsumed in an unbowed determination to make music and a living simultaneously.
There would be times when some of these people would be out to get each other. But here they understood that it was in everyone's interest for the substratum and infrastructure they shared to be as big and strong as possible. This is a healthy attitude a spontaneous collective decision by a subculture of eternal adolescents to remain a collectivity after they could no longer delay adulthood, with star dreams on hold even as they induced the biz to keep putting money in. But it's not especially conducive to excitement to that busy-being-born feeling that wants to make the world a better place.
Tom Waits was the hot ticket at SXSW 99, and I intended no disrespect to the veteran quasi-avantist by opting instead for another long-absent struggler, albeit one with a prettier, bigger voice: Kelly Willis, who except for Joe Ely in the park was the only one of the 25 acts I caught that I'd seen before. Clearly, however, Waits isn't the future he's a precursor of alternative careerism. There was, however, one unmistakable next-big-thing buzz at SXSW 99, and it sure wasn't hip hop, which was barely mentioned from any stage. It was the Internet. In Austin, this theme rocks; 750 new new- technology companies have transformed the city's government-student-slacker economy. But starry-eyed technofuturism was everywhere: from creative marketers advising artists to "sit in chat rooms," "put your stuff on the search engines," "if they try to stop you, back-door it"; Factory Records founder turned Interactive City guru Anthony Wilson urging every kid with a PC and a dream to take on Rolling Stone; sane scribes from Illinois and Idaho convinced that MP3s or their speedier grandchildren would soon change the biz utterly.
Face to face with what one decade had wrought, I wasn't about to deny that the next one would be at least as momentous. I just didn't think anyone had more than an inkling of what shape the change would take. As L.A. Times computer columnist and 1994 Austin immigrant Gary Chapman put it to me, today's Websters are "ninety-niners," staking claims they'll figure out how to mine later if all goes well. And it was obvious that in an economically unstable realm like indie rock, this vast unknown was a perfect place to invest hope. I was struck by how labor-intensive the Net advice was, like insisting baby bands spend two hours a day promoting themselves online. I noticed that if the rock audience had been boutiqued in the '80s, now the dream was to modem it to subdivide it further, a lousy way to nurture a subculture. And I kept wondering where the money was supposed to be; nobody seemed to notice when Downtown Marketing's Susan Piver Brown observed that "the creation of demand" had to precede marketing itself. Megacorporatism clearly doesn't mean that indie rock has to wither away. But if alternative careerism is to thrive, it must attract a larger share of what a whole phalanx of leisure industries fondly refer to as the entertainment dollar. And as several Internet panelists pointed out, that attraction must ultimately take place on the ground, not in cyberspace.
This is a tall order. In the '70s I imagined that the cacophony of the New York Dolls constituted an effective negotiation with information overload. But the one thing I'm sure I've learned from the Internet is that there's no negotiating with it, only muddling through. So although I'm happy to have caught 25 acts in three nights even if it meant gonging the Gravel Pit, the Hi-Fives, and the well- rehearsed but flowless Ugly Duckling, among others, I'm resigned to having missed some 1365, at least one of which no doubt would have knocked my socks off. As it was, a dozen were enjoyable at worst. And while most of these were well past the chat-room stage a tactic perhaps suitable for L.A. art-punks Tongue, who I see have just updated their Web page it was fair to hope that all could bring in yet more entertainment dollars. But that's not to say many were exciting, or excited. For me the big bill was Grandaddy, whose record I love, with Mercury Rev and Sparklehorse, whose records I am open to. Or rather, was as I'd feared, Mercury Rev proved themselves America's answer to Radiohead, while Sparklehorse fetishize the same leave-me-alone whisper-whine Mercury Rev make something of and Grandaddy is musical enough to transfigure. "Other people turn it up," they informed a rowdy. "We're not the band for that." This bill drew a big crowd. But short of an arena-rock revival, a distinct possibility that Mercury Rev could definitely exploit, it's hard to envision that crowd expanding much.
A smaller alt-rock show was one major exception: Imperial Teen, in an outlying tent space, very late Thursday. Received yet recombinant, they inhabited their Velvets strum-drone, poppy backup parts, fey affect, and instrument-switching amateurishness with such evident or well-feigned delight that the music kept lifting and lifting. They didn't whine, either they're into crooning and smirking. Not that they're more marketable than Grandaddy, or Mercury Rev or Joe Ely, who was what he was, a reliable if predictable product of value to listeners set in their ways, including some who don't know about him yet. It is such products, all the way to Sparklehorse, that were one thing and probably the main thing most SXSW'ers were there to learn how to put across. Still, it's hard to believe any subculture can happily or healthily subsist on staples alone. It's also hard not to note that unlike Joe Ely or Mercury Rev, Imperial Teen are very gay, and that this seems to inspire them.
The other exception was the Swing Team, a local breaking crew at the token hip hop showcase: half black and half Chicano in a white-and-Chicano town, sexually integrated too. They probably won't go anywhere you'll hear about, and their flyer listed no Internet address. But they were sure having fun, and they were sure busy being born. Most people's mami and jeez-louise last a lot longer than professional hipsters think. But does that mean they last a lifetime? You tell me.

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months.

Bel Canto Chorus, MSO join for night of sacred music
The Bel Canto Chorus and Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra joined forces at Christ King Parish in Wauwatosa on Saturday for a colorful evening of two 20th-century sacred works.

Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

PORTLAND, Ore. -- From wheat , wood products, food and hundreds of thousands of autos, the Port of Portland and the Port of Vancouver are important trading partners with Japan.
Still in utter chaos, it's impossible to know the true economic impact of the disaster in Japan.
Japan is the third largest economy in the world behind China and the United States, said Pil Hwang, Senior Vice President with The Phillips Company in Portland.
What happens in Japan has global impact according to Hwang.
Any disruption in their economy could have a ripple effect with imports and exports, Hwang said.
As one of the Northwest's largest trading partners, local importers and exporters are concerned.
Our main concern, I think is the disruption of food chain supplies, noted Keith Lee, President of Chin's Imports-Exports.
While most of his shipments come out of China, they stop at Japanese ports before heading to Terminal 6 here. Lee worries about a meltdown threat at a Japanese nuclear plant.
Obviously we're concerned about contamination, radiation contaminating the food chain, said Lee.
Other impacts, while too early to assess, could mean disruptions in the coming weeks, especially for Japanese auto imports. Hundreds of thousand of Honda's and Toyota's pass through the Port of Portland yearly.
Right now there's a infrastructure disruption, they can't get the cars on to the ships to bring to the Unites States, said Lee.
For the time being Toyota is suspending production at all of it's plants in Japan.
At the Port of Vancouver, in addition to importing Subaru's, wheat is one of the Ports biggest exports. 3.7 million metric tons a year mostly to Japan.
At this point we're hearing that it will be neutral to maybe a very slight downturn,but we're still waiting to here, said Theresa Wagner, Communications Manager for the Port of Vancouver.
That is an economic impact that could take weeks to assess and much more time to recover from.
We're going to be seeing some impact for a while, Wagner said.
For local companies doing business in Japan their first priority is employee safety.
Intel has 300 working in Tokyo. Two buildings there have been evacuated because of damage.
Nike is still assessing the impact. Both companies indicate all employees are safe and so far, the quake and tsunami have had no impact on operations here.

text: Mobile Report: webOS ran twice as fast on an iPad 2 than on the TouchPad August 19, 2011 2:10 PM Sean Ludwig 0 Enterprise companies tackle mobile marketing automation slightly differently—and that's why they're on top. Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. One reason HP may have shuttered its webOS-based devices unit Thursday may be that its hardware was only half as fast as its major competitor. A report from The Next Web says HP internally tested webOS on an Apple iPad 2 and found that the operating system ran over twice as fast on Apple's hardware, suggesting HP didn't build a good enough tablet to attract customers. Additionally, an internal HP source reportedly said the TouchPad hardware prevented the team from innovating "beyond a certain point" because it was too slow. The team also tried deploying webOS through Apple's mobile Safari browser as a web application and it ran several times faster there too. No wonder demand for the HP TouchPad was nearly nonexistent: It just wasn't powerful enough to run its own OS properly. This raises the question that if HP had decided to produce a more powerful and better equipped TouchPad, could it have succeeded? We think so. HP made some stunning decisions Thursday, including making a large bet on enterprise software with the $10.3 billion acquisition of Autonomy and moving away from hardware by exploring options to spin off its PC business. Killing webOS devices fits in with its goal of getting rid of the PC business. HP reportedly told its employees that it is "not walking away from webOS," but because it killed the hardware unit that runs it, the future is not encouraging. webOS originally came from Palm, which HP bought for $1.2 billion in 2010. HP said that it wanted Palm for more than just its smartphones, and that it had big plans to bring webOS to netbooks and tablets as well. Obviously, that didn't turn out so well. What do you think of the death of HP's webOS devices?

New Generation Personal Moisturizing Hydrogel Zestica Moisture Hits Canadian Marketplace
Bescot Healthcare Canada announces the Canadian launch of Zestica Moisture, a natural feeling, non-hormonal personal Moisturizing Hydrogel for Menopausal and Post-Menopausal women to relieve the symptoms of Vaginal Dryness.
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) March 21, 2013
A new vaginal "natural feel" moisturizing hydrogel for women is now available in Canada. Zestica Moisture is formulated specifically to provide rapid and lasting relief from vaginal dryness for Menopausal and Post-Menopausal women. Zestica Moisture is non-hormonal and contains no glycerin or paraffin.
Available online at http://www.ZesticaMoisture.ca, Zestica Moisture comes in a convenient and discreet pack of 5 easy to use, pre-filled, single usage applicators. As a personal hydrogel lubricant, Zestica Moisture is designed to deliver two waves of moisture by utilizing two different lengths of Hyaluronic Acid molecules which break down to release moisture at different times.
Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in a women's reproductive tract as a major component of vaginal tissues, helping to retain moisture. Zestica Moisture restores the body´s natural balance of Hyaluronic Acid.
For many Menopausal and Post-Menopausal women, vaginal dryness is a painful condition with symptoms including itching, burning, irritation and general discomfort, and it can significantly affect personal intimacy and quality of life. A recent user trial showed that 98% of women found symptom relief of dryness and discomfort after just 1 hour of using Zestica Moisture.
There is also an accumulative benefit of using Zestica Moisture. In a User Study, where Zestica Moisture was used for 5 consecutive days, 81% of Users were still symptom free 2 days after their last application, and 42% were still symptom free 9 days after last application. Zestica Moisture should be used for 5 consecutive days and then once, twice or three times a week as required.

Kochi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed charge sheets against two priests and a nun in the Sister Abhaya death case before Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate K.A. Baby.
The accused, Fr. Thomas Kottur, Fr. Jose Puthrikayil and Sister Sephy, had been charged with offence punishable under Section 302 (murder) and Section 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Indian Penal Code.
The two priests were also charged with offences punishable under Section 449 (trespass) of the IPC.
The charge sheets said that Fr. Thomas Kottur and Fr. Jose Puthrikayil trespassed into the Pius X Convent Hostel on the night of March 26, 1992, through the kitchen door of the hostel and remained in the cellar. Sister Sephy was already in the cellar.
Both the accused were found in "special circumstances" when Sister Abhaya, an inmate of the hostel, came down to the cellar to collect water from the refrigerator and the accused with a common intention to murder Sister Abhaya in order to prevent her from telling what she had seen in cellar to others and in furtherance of the crime hit Abhaya with an axe ('kodali') on the back of her head.
She then collapsed. Then, the first and the second accused, assisted by the third accused, lifted Sister Abhaya, who was unconscious, thorough the kitchen door and dumped her in a well behind the building to make it appear that the she had committed suicide.
The charge sheet citied as many as 133 persons as witnesses and 70 documents were submitted before the court.

Dogs can detect lung cancer by sniffing peoples' breath, German researchers said this week, but developing dogs' ability to become cancer-detectors could prove challenging, said veterinarian and AVMA past president Bonnie Beaver. Dogs have to have a natural drive to learn to smell things, she said, and teaching them to detect cancer cells is hindered by the fact that human trainers can't smell the cells.

In the past, high school gymnasts have generally had to deal with two sets of coaches — one for the high school season and one for the competitive season.
But starting with the upcoming season, the two coaching staffs will be nearly the same.
The Valley City School Board held a special meeting Thursday afternoon, where they accepted the resignation of VCHS head coach Carina Roehrich and approved hiring Dave Fisher, an assistant coach for the Valley Twisters gymnastics club, to fill the position.
By Scott Schlaufman
Having racked up more than 2,300 yards on the ground this year, the Valley City High School football team knows the importance of stopping the run.
But when the Hi-Liners lost 20-12 to Grafton in their regular season finale Oct. 16, it all came down to an inability to stop Christian Lunde and the rest of the Spoilers' ground game.
Valley City High School sports fans already had plenty to look forward to in the coming week with the Hi-Liner football team set to play for a spot in the AA state championship game.
But Tuesday, the VCHS volleyball team added another item to the school's playoff agenda — a home match to start the Eastern Dakota Conference tournament.
The Hi-Liners, who lost 25-17, 25-16, 25-17 to Fargo North Tuesday in their regular season finale, will host Devils Lake in an EDC Play-In match, coach Katy Van Dyke said after the loss. A time and location for the match will be announced later this week.
MINOT — All year long, the Valley City High School football team proved it could play with the best teams in the AA East, losing by only six points to Shanley High School eight points to Grafton, the top two playoff seeds from the East.
For that reason, the team felt pretty confident entering Saturday's quarterfinal playoff game with Bishop Ryan, the top seed in the AA West region.
The Valley City State University recovered from last weekend's loss to Jamestown with a 27-0 win over at Lindenwood University — Belleville Saturday in Belleville, Ill.
It was the second shutout of the year for the Vikings, who beat Gustavus Adolphus 16-0 earlier this month.
The Vikings got on the board early following a pass interception at their own 49-yard line. On the ensuing drive, VCSU took the ball 51 yards, losing a few yards early, but making up for it with a 54-yard pass from Tommy Zinke to Colby Lum.
VCSU Volleyball Loses Home Finale
The Valley City State University volleyball team split weekend matches, beating Dakota State 3-0 Friday in Jamestown, but losing 3-0 to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Saturday in the team's home finale.
Friday, VCSU beat the Trojans 25-17, 28-26, 27-25 at Jamestown College. The teams played relatively evenly, but VCSU found plenty of points from the serve, finishing with 13 aces, including four from Stephanie Miller.
ELLENDALE — As the Litchville-Marion/Montpelier volleyball team prepared for the postseason, coach Ryan Nelson decided to change things up and had his team change its coverage of the floor. But in game situations, it can take a bit for the changes to kick it.
When the Rebels opened the Class B District 5 tournament Thursday in Ellendale, there was a bit of delay as the team made the adjustments in its coverage, but once they were comfortable, even a casual observer could have noted the difference.
On the Valley City High School volleyball roster, junior Jessica Denholm is listed simply as a setter. It's not only her primary position, but one that she's plenty experienced at.
But, as Fargo South found out in the Hi-Liners' 27-25, 25-21, 25-16 win Tuesday at the Hi-Liner Activity Center, labels can be misleading.
Denholm not only put together 28 assists for Valley City but also provided seven kills and 1.5 blocks up front, six aces from the service line, and seven digs around the court.
"How about those blocks she had?" Valley City coach Katy Van Dyke said after the match.
The Valley City State University club tennis team had a shot at clinching a spot at the USTA National tournament over the weekend in Menominee, Wis., but struggled to get the wins it needed to.
The Vikings competed in the University of Wisconsin — Stout USTA Tennis-On-Campus tournament, and a win would have vaulted the team over North Dakota State University in the standings to clinch a spot for the national tournament in March.
BUFFALO — By no means are the players on Maple Valley/Enderlin "small".
But when they stood face to face with Park River/Forville-Lankin running back Chad Jelinek Saturday in Buffalo during the first round of the Division A playoffs, it sure seemed like it at times.
Jelinek, a senior, is listed at 192 pounds, but also stands at 6-foot-3-inches tall.
It was size he used to his team's advantage Saturday as he played the role of a power back, pushing the ball up the field in a 24-20 upset of the No. 1 seeded Falcons.
