Ruhe, meine Seele!
Ruhe, meine Seele!, Op. 27 No. 1, is the first in a set of four songs composed by Richard Strauss in 1894. It was originally for voice and piano, and not orchestrated by Strauss until 1948, after he had completed one of his Four Last Songs, "Im Abendrot".[1] The words are from a poem "Ruhe, meine Seele!" (Rest, my soul) written by the poet Karl Henckell.
Strauss composed the song in May 1894, and that September he gave it as a wedding present to his wife the soprano Pauline de Ahna.
Instrumentation and accompaniment[edit]
The instrumentation is: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, cor anglais, 2 clarinets in B♭, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns in F, 2 trumpets in C, 3 trombones, tuba, 3 timpani, celesta, harp and the orchestral string section.[2]
The accompaniment has sombre and ambiguous harmonies, with contrasting calm and tempestuous episodes, and ends peacefully in the home key of C major.
|Ruhe, meine Seele! [3]
Nicht ein Lüftchen
Opus 27[edit]
The other songs of Strauss' Opus 27:
- Op. 27 No. 2 "Cäcilie" (Wenn du es wüßtest)
- Op. 27 No. 3 "Heimliche Aufforderung" (Auf, hebe die funkelnde Schale)
- Op. 27 No. 4 "Morgen!" (Und morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen)

References and notes[edit]
- ^ This is discussed in the essay "Ruhe, meine Seele! and the Letzte Orchesterlieder" by Timothy L. Jackson, in Richard Strauss and his World by Bryan Randolph Gilliam. Strauss orchestrated "Ruhe, meine Seele" just after completing "Im Abendrot" but before completing the other of the Last Four Songs: "Frühling", "Beim Schlafengehen" and "September". The author suggests that the five songs form a unified cycle, with reasons for "Ruhe, meine Seele!" to be performed as a prelude to "Im Abendrot".

Heading into the 2011 season the Braves knew that they would need better outfield production to compete with the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. While they didn't make any major signing, Martin Prado shifted from second base to left field to try to help get more production out of the outfield.
However, injuries and inconsistent play have left the Braves wanting more out of their outfield once again. All three of the Braves opening day outfielders have spent time on the DL this season and it has hurt the team's performance.
LF: Martin Prado
2011 Stats: .277/.324/.438, 8 HR, 33 RBI, .762 OPS, .326 wOBA, 1.6 fWAR
While Prado is currently on the Disabled List with a staph infection he was one of the Braves most consistent hitters early in the season. Although his numbers have dipped from last year, Prado has still produced more than most of the Braves other position players and has been their best hitter in the outfield.
Currently rehabbing in AAA Gwinnett, Prado will return to play third base after the All-Star break with Chipper Jones on the DL. When Chipper returns, Prado should return to the outfield to give the Braves their best offensive ballclub. Prado has played solid defense in left, although he still has allowed -1 fielding runs. However, he allowed -8 last year at second base so the position change hasn't hurt Prado at all defensively.
Going forward, the Braves simply want Prado to stay healthy for the stretch run and playoffs as they were without him in the NLDS last season.
CF: Nate McLouth
2011 Stats: .225/.345/.330, 3 HR, 12 RBI, .675 OPS, .308 wOBA, 0.5 fWAR
After an abysmal 2010 (worse than Dan Uggla has been so far this season) McLouth has rebounded some but still isn't providing the Braves with the offense they expected when acquiring him. However, McLouth has provided a positive fWAR for a change and has a solid .345 OBP so far this year.
Currently, McLouth is playing left field (with Jordan Schafer, who will be covered in the Call-Ups section of Braves at the Break, playing center) and his role has yet to be determined when both Chipper Jones and Martin Prado return from the disabled list.
The Braves will simply look for McLouth to get on base at a similar rate (which is actually above his career OBP) and not hurt the team. If things go as planned, the Braves will get plenty of offense from other positions. It's possible the Braves could look for a new centerfielder at the trade deadline, but the market will be thin and the Braves might be forced to stick with McLouth.
RF: Jason Heyward
2011 Stats: .226/.315/.404, 9 HR, 22 RBI, .719 OPS, .321 wOBA, 0.7 fWAR
After a terrific rookie season in which he led all Rookies with 5.1 fWAR and got on base at an incredible .393 clip, the Braves expected big seasons from Heyward in 2011. However, Heyward has disappointed and looks like a shade of the hitter he was last season. A shoulder injury put Heyward on the disabled list earlier in the year and he still might not be back to 100 percent.
Although he is only in his second season, Heyward has dealt with a lot of injuries which seem to be affecting his performance (he struggled through a thumb injury last year before landing on the DL). Heyward's BABIP has dropped 79 points from last season and that, combined with a decrease in his walk rate, has taken his OBP from amazing to sub-standard.
Heyward is hitting just .216 in July, so he hasn't showed any signs of turning things around let. The Braves need Heyward to start hitting for their offense to live up to its potential. He has the talent to be the best hitter on the team, and the Braves could use a boost from the big right fielder.
After a disappointing season from Braves outfielders in 2010, it's been more of the same so far in 2011. If Prado can return fully healthy and J-Hey can start hitting a little, the Braves offense will receive a big boost heading into the second half.

Customer Reviews of Samsung ML-2525W Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer
Great... -if you can get it to work8/26/2011
Perfect personal printer -great hardware price and cost per print, very fast and quiet... BUT extremely temperamental to get it to work which totally spoils the utility. Via USB direct connect -or- hardwired ethernet sometimes works but often sits there and says the printer is busy or offline -power-cycle reset needed and it will happen again. Wireless ethernet- hard to set up and settings don't seem to persist. Better results on WindowsXP networks as drivers updated BUT very unstable on Macintosh and Win7 networks. Samsung Tech support directly is non-existent, rude and of no help at all. Overall, price, size performance is excellent for personal use... ONLY IF you can get it to work. Look at all the forums complaints before you buy.
: Samsung ML-2525W6/22/2011
I bought a Samsung ML-2525W about a month ago for home use. Setting it up for use via USB cable was trivial; getting it up on my wireless network took a bit more fiddling. The instructions were difficult to decipher. I expect that a person who is not sufficiently computer savvy would need phone support to complete the wireless setup.
Would not connect to network3/19/2011
After 2 attempts with Samsung tech on the line, I could not get the printer to connect to my network. I also tried to hook it up myself to no avail. I finally had to send it back to be checked out/replaced. I sent it back 3 days ago with Samsung approval. This is probably my last Samsung. Be wary.
piece if junk2/16/2011
First, this printer is really difficult and non-intuitive with overly complicated instructions on how to setup for ad-hoc wireless usage. The printer now stopped working properly (misprints overheating etc.) after 5months and outside the buy.com warranty of 45 days. Bah. Avoid.
Does it really consume so much power....?1/18/2011
Printer is fast, easy to setup, print quality is excellent. I tried to plug in the printer to different outlets, but, it seems to consume lot of power. My light bulbs flicker every time the printer kicks into action. The digital clocks are reset. I am a little scared now. We have a lot of house hold electronics but nothing causes such flickering. Not sure if there is a solution for this problem. If this continues, I will have to return the printer.
Excellent value1/3/2011
Great value and works great. Only one negative and really isn't. All these wireless printers coming out are G protocol - If you are running an N network and hook up a G device EVERYTHING on your wireless network drops down to G. DUMB! Why can't they just make these N wirelss. I like the printer but am running it wired with an RJ45 jack - and yes I knew it was G when I bought it just wanted to vent
Excellent Laser for the Price and Wireless to boot12/26/2010
Great Printer have had Samung Lasers for years, so when this Ethernet-Wireless one came along I bought it. Set up can be confusing, but it did come with the USB to connect it with. Only draw back was the wireless only supports WEP,WPA and I use WPA2-Personal, so for me I had to add a WPA on my router just for the printer. Have read other reviews and really not sure why they think that the printer would cause them to have power blinkage, after all it's only a 110V device.
Great network printer for the home12/26/2010
This printer is pretty easy to setup. Just follow the prompts and you'll have your wireless networked printer set up quickly. First Samsung printer for me, so I don't know how this will last me. So far so good though.1 Helpful | 2 Not Helpful
Great Printer! But.......12/8/2010
Printer is fast, setup is every easy, print quality is very good. My family prints from laptops all over the house and response time is excellent. But, it seems to consume lot of power. My light bulbs flicker everytime the printer kicks into action. My house is brand new (2 months old). Last night, the power went off for a brief second, resetting my internet, clocks on appliances and satellite receiver. Is there any solution to this?. If this continues, I may have to return the printer.
Excellent Networked Printer12/7/2010
Overall, excellent printer with quick 1st-page-out time and fast once it gets going. Easy to network and install at a price you'd be challenged to beat for this level networkable black laser printer. Very Satisfied.
This product is great for its price. However, it does consume a lot of power and my light bulbs flicker throughout the house. My house is wired pretty good as I have Central AC, built-in microwave, and other power hungry equipment and lights don't flicker when all of them are in operation at the same time. Even if the printer is the only piece of equipment that is ON, lights still flicker. Otherwise, it is a great product. Setup was easy.
Super Satisfied11/16/2010
Wasn't super-easy to setup, but I followed the instructions just fine & it was up & running very quickly. Prints quickly into another room where I don't even have to hear/see it. Helps the wife print tons of coupons w/o spending tons on ink for our inkjet...
5 all the way10/25/2010
best value i have seen yet,suprise the usb cable was included. set up was a breeze. print out was great.
A fast little printer9/27/2010
This is my second Samsung--my first was still in working order after 7 years, but decided to upgrade because of the price and the black, which suits decor. Very satisfied.
Good choice9/21/2010
For printing of high quality it is a good choice. For convenience of compatibility with limited space, it is a little heavier.
Great Value, Good Form Factor....HP Watchout!8/29/2010
The Samsung ML-2525W Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer is a great value....as I paid about $100 for mines. Overall and like other reviewers have mentioned, the foot print is minimal, the form factor is good, the aesthetic and external design is great and I beleive the cost of ownership will be slightly better than having an HP
Highly Recommended8/23/2010
This is the first Samsung I've owned and based on its performance I'd buy another. It was discovered easily by my U-verse router, the software and drivers installed easily on my Windows 7 and XP computers, it is sleek and modern looking with a very small footprint (no paper tray hanging open like the small HP printers), it is very fast to wake and print from sleep mode, and the print quality for both text and graphics is awesome. Last but not least, the buy.com price was the best anywhere when I purchased mine. Time will tell if it is built to last for a reasonable amount of use. If so, I will be completely satisfied.2 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful

MIDDLEBURY - The Middlebury Otters and the Middlebury Mystix, two women's community ice hockey teams, will host the 12th annual "Face Off Against Breast Cancer" hockey tournament on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 22 and 23 at the Memorial Sports Center in Middlebury.
The tournament brings 12 women's hockey teams from all over Vermont, competing in games in competitive, recreational and novice divisions. There's even a "Friends and Family" division for men, kids, and co-ed groups. Ongoing hospitality and refreshments will be served in the Warming Hut.
Visiting teams include: Burlington Ice Breakers, Green Mountain Thunder, Vermont Vixen, Burlington Tsunamis, Waterbury Wicked, Rutland Cutting Edge, Burlington Black Ice, Barre 32 Degrees, and Burlington Code Blue.
The tournament weekend includes a fun-filled benefit concert and after-party on Saturday night, Jan. 22 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Local favorites, The Horse Traders, will play covers and original rock tunes at Two Brothers' Tavern on Main Street in downtown Middlebury.
The Horse Traders and Two Brothers' Tavern will donate the performance, all the proceeds from the cover charge that night, and 10 percent of all the sales at Two Brothers' upstairs restaurant and downstairs lounge to the Face Off Against Breast Cancer.
Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Cancer Patient Support Program's (CPSP) Emergency Fund, which provides short-term, emergency financial relief to local patients in need. This program addresses the hidden impacts that cancer can have on families: those who, because of cancer, have lost their jobs and may lose their car or home because they are in treatment; those who are too sick to work, or who have soaring medical expenses and limited co-pays; or those who have no insurance coverage at all.
The tournament was established in 1999, when a member of the Middlebury Otters was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her survivor story is now a success. The need for support continues, however: the American Cancer Society estimates that over 190,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 - nearly 500 in Vermont alone. Both the Otters and Mystix are proud to include breast cancer survivors on their rosters.
Last year's Face Off Against Breast Cancer tournament raised over $40,000, and the Otters and Mystix are hoping to break that record in 2011. Members of the team are requesting support in the form of individual player sponsorships online at www.faceoffagainstbreastcancer.org, as well as business sponsorships in the amount of $25.
Donations may be sent to the Cancer Patient Support Program (CPSP), c/o Face Off Against Breast Cancer/Cathy Chase, P.O Box 27, Middlebury, VT 05753; or contact the tournament co-chairs to support a player near you: Liza Sacheli Lloyd (email@example.com or 802-443-3169); or Cathy Chase (email@example.com or 802-382-9469).

Drawn to Darwin
Evolution's theorist found inspiration in art, and artists in his ideas
So too, surprisingly, were the French Impressionists, such as Cezanne and Monet.
"Cezanne painted with Antoine-Fortune Marion, the leading Darwinist in France, who went on to become director of the Museum of Natural History in Marseilles," said Munro. "Cezanne's biographer, Gasquet, recalled how the two men would paint together at the foot of Mont Sainte-Victoire as Marion expounded on Darwinian ideas."
Darwin's writings sharpened the eyes and brushes of the Impressionists to the roles of nature and evolution in the affairs of men, sometimes prompting criticism. "The Impressionists were often perceived as basing their work too much on science and scientific theory," said Munro.
For example, in 1881 the French painter and sculptor Edgar Degas unveiled "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen," a wax statue (later bronze) of a young ballet dancer. At the time, French society was fraught with debate and argument over the idea, widely attributed to Darwin, that modern Europeans were not only descended from monkeys, but more specifically from African primates. The notion challenged a host of conceptions about class, race and intelligence.
Degas had read Darwin, and "Little Dancer" arguably depicts aspects of that human origins debate. Observers said the young girl was startlingly real, the product of "exact science." She is far from idealized beauty. Critics thought her looks to be bestial, reminiscent of a monkey or Aztec, more suitable in a museum of zoology than art.
Other Impressionists got off easier. Monet's series of landscapes of the Normandy coast were extolled for their emphasis on natural detail, the interplay of water and rock and the subtle allusions to the physical processes responsible.
Darwin never saw Monet's Normandy landscapes. He died in 1882, a few years before they were painted. He probably never saw Degas' "Little Dancer" either.
But in these works of art and others, it is likely Darwin would have seen what nature – and his ideas – wrought. He would have thought them beautiful, just like beetles, barnacles and the beaks of finches.

04 May 2010 06:31 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--Japan's Mitsubishi Rayon Co (MRC) has raised its methyl methacrylate (MMA) offer by $300/tonne (€228/tonne) for overseas customers starting 1 May due to tight supply and low inventories, said a company official on Tuesday.
For local clients in ?xml:namespace>
MRC had raised its MMA offer price to $2,300/tonne CFR (cost and freight) NE (northeast)
Volumes of 500 tonnes and below for May delivery were being offered at $2,400-2,450/tonne CFR NE Asia last Friday, he added.
MRC is the leading MMA producer in
The MRC official said that the company's price hike was "justifiable" given extreme tightness in supply of the material.
Asian MMA prices jumped $30-40/tonne week on week last Friday to $2,080-2,040/tonne
MRC had said earlier on that MMA inventory in
Buyers, however, may strongly resist the magnitude of the proposed price increase, market sources said.
"There had been many similar announcements by MRC before. This price increase might be achievable only for small customers," said an industry source.
"For big customers, the actual price increase may only be $100 in the end," he added.

Dec 9, 2011If you are a fan of the Mega Man series, you'll be amazed by this game. It is on par with 2 and 3 which are widely considered the best in the series. The stages, enemies, bosses, etc. are all very original and the difficulty level of this game is awesome. It's not as hard as everybody says. It's just the right difficulty where it's challenging, but it's not frustrating.
Mar 4, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is possibly the best in the series. Actually, it is the best in the series. The plot is that Mega Man's creator, Dr. Light, is framed and put in prison. Mega Man has to defeat the defective Robot Masters and clear his creator's name. But, [huge surprise here, do not continue if your heart can't take it] Dr. Wily is behind it. The controls are spot-on. Mega Man feels just like he should, with perfect running speed and jumping mechanics. The one problem is the removal of 2 key features: The charge shot (which is made up for with the weapons) and the slide. The removal of the slide affects mobility negatively. The Robot Masters are well-designed and have very fun levels. The weapons you get are even better. Every weapon has a use at some point, whether it is for mobility or attack. The Wily Level bosses are all well done and fun to fight, and never get too difficult to the point it's not fun. Over all, I recommend Mega Man 9 to every gamer with a Wii, 360 or PS3.… Expand
Jun 17, 2013The original NES Mega Man series, in my eyes, is still the best in the franchise. Before we got convoluted plots with unskippable cutscenes and too much wasted time, Mega Man was a simple series about unflinching action: shooting your way through engaging thematic side-scrolling stages, figuring out boss sequences, getting flashy new weapons.
Mega Man 9 is a glorious trip back to thoseThe original NES Mega Man series, in my eyes, is still the best in the franchise. Before we got convoluted plots with unskippable cutscenes and too much wasted time, Mega Man was a simple series about unflinching action: shooting your way through engaging thematic side-scrolling stages, figuring out boss sequences, getting flashy new weapons.
Mega Man 9 is a glorious trip back to those very same roots. Its greatest triumph, however, is how it manages to differ from the last NES title (Mega Man 6) and its tired design. For starters, stages are a lot more challenging, harkening back to the very first titles in the franchise. Secondly, the boss weapons are a home run, fusing usability with just the right amount of innovation. Using them in clever ways is most certainly not optional, and when you come across the first Wily's castle you'll run into a lot of specific problems that are only solvable with the right weapon.
The story also follows in the old games' footsteps, but it's taken to the next level. Even though it's very simplistic and easy to follow (as it should be in such a game, really), you'll end up even feeling sympathetic towards the boss enemies, who are literally fighting for their lives. It's a simple but nice twist in the old Wily-wants-to-take-over-the-world formula, and makes the experience even more memorable.
My only point of contention with the game is the fact that it chose to go back to the Mega Man 2 move configuration, eschewing the awesome Mega Man 3-introduced slide from the titular character's arsenal. Still, that's a very minor flaw in a game that's a veritable retro heaven.
If, like me, you lost hours on end trying to conquer the old NES Mega Man games back in the day, you owe it to yourself to get this one. If you're younger than that, and accostumed to newer games, it depends on whether you can dig the 8-bit feel. Rest assured, the gameplay is excellent and will not leave you wanting.… Expand
Mega Man 9 is exactly what hardcore gamers were hoping it would be, as Capcom has come out of the gate with a game that's full of nostalgia and fan-service, but also one that truly does rival the best in the franchise's 8-bit roots.
MM9 is an unapologetic nod to one of gaming's greatest eras. It might've been made especially for nostalgia-crazed dorks like me, but it's something that any challenge-seeking gamer can dig.
Buy it, finish it, love it, because if this takes off we're going to see a renaissance of new-old games. And if that happens, a whole new batch of gamers will grow up learning why rock-solid gameplay, not tera-flipping flop-bib shaders, make games truly exceptional.

I hope you have enjoyed this series on Christian mindfulness. This is my last installment on the series
Part 1: The Christian Practice of Mindfulness
Part 2: The attraction
Part 3: The difference in narratives
For many reasons, meditation as a regular Christian practice has been lost in American culture and needs to be re-cultivated. We have abandoned our spiritual disciplines, leaving us weak, ignorant, distracted and ineffective in our Christian walks. As a result, we display to the world a powerless form of Christianity full of stressed and distracted followers who do not access the power of the relationship with the Christ who indwells. Instead, we act on our own power which is ineffective in transforming lives and healing hurts.
In other words, we are the problem, not Christianity. Is it any wonder people turn to other religions for answers? When Christians don't live out their Christianity, a void is left for others to fill.
Furthermore, we argue about meditation in Christian circles. Is it biblical? Yes (Joshua 1:8). Has it been misunderstood and misused in Christian circles? Yes. Is it essential in the lives of Christians? Yes. The Bible is clear on the need to mediate and explains how it is to be done. Let's stop arguing and start doing it.
We don't need a bell to awaken us to the frequency of God. His Spirit is already in us and His presence and power is ready to change lives and bring needed peace and contentment to those who seek truth. We don't need a mantra to deliver our mind from illusions and focus our attention. The One who spoke the world into existence and breathed life to our physical bodies, lives in us. Our job is to awaken to this reality and not retreat from the spiritual battle, to boldly present the truth, live out the realities of that truth and offer a path of hope to a desperately hurting world. And wouldn't it be powerful if we, and not just the Buddhists, were known for our love as Jesus so desired. Instead, we are known for what we oppose.
Ephesians 6:12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. With our eyes firmly fixed on Christ, we can agree with this quote from Isaac of Stella
He Himself is my contemplation. He is my delight. Him for His own sake I seek above me. From Him Himself I feed within me. He is the field in which I labor. He is my cause He is my effect. He is my beginning. He is my end, without end. He is for eternity. —Issac of Stella

What should i buy with diamonds?
Yeah, the second training slot can be pretty useless till you have a steady flow of gold to support it. And even then you may opt for other things than that. So I'd leave off on the second and focus on the Manor plots and other things like upgrading the first training slot.

It's now the second year that you've been gone and I've started
to get used to not having you around. I've cut my hair and I've not
got a good job. The garden is full of live and our dog is getting
pretty big. I'm mulling along everyday until you get back.
Someone just rang the doorbell. I'm going to see who it is.

Bemusingly. Found the 6th letter on the last day.

I know I am a PITA but have another newbie question
Mostly just the Jewel Crafter unless its asking you to upgrade/combine a gem.
A few events will give some gems too, but are usually few and far between.
Topic: The King of Towers /
Heroes -comparison, strategy and questions.
Last check the talents were independant of the ranking. Simmilar to how levelling up doesnt reset talents or skills. But still a long way from finding out myself.
No no no! You see you need all six letters from the first event, then six from this, and six from the next which will be the orc + jenny wedding invitation letters and then combine them to create wedding dress costume!
Least in AQWorlds you can upgrade the wedding dress. er… wait…

About monsters and theasure guy
The treasure hunter pops up in the tower defense. If you watch, your adventurers will warn you before one appears with things like "I sense a treasure hunter" or something like that. Which means one is immenent to show that wave or the next.
Since its a reskin of the orc letter event. Assume that these letters are again just inventory clutter for reasons totally unknown. Id rather they went to the Shards section or somesuch.
As for the keys. Actually has a few instances now where the key was not picked. Seems its got a lower index.

PRIZE DRAWING? when was that again
Looking at the fee for winning. I am actually glad I did not win. Certainly not a free computer.
The kreds would have been nice. But didnt get those either.
Topic: The King of Towers /
Honor level
Kingdom Honor Level? It effects your daily kingdom tax ammount. It increases as you earn more stars for beating levels and beating blitz acre.
Honor Stars? It is an in game currency you use to upgrade castle technology, buy hero hearts for tavern, hero class rank, hero talents, etc.
Stars? Another in game currency used to upgrade tower talents.
Topic: The King of Towers /
Biggest mistake I've made in KoT..!
Another mistake was spending diamonds on anything other than upgrading things like the farm. Save em up for the important stuff.
The Prison and the constant loss of gold, rainbow gems and element potions if you arent logged in.
It might not be as bad as it sounds. But this is NOT something you spring on players midgame.
Using diamonds to recover a lost day. Then learning the fee escalates and it was a useless move anyhow. The game is riddled with traps like that to predate on new players.
Levelling the kingdom up too fast. Really regretting that now.
Spending Kreds (they were free from events) on the game before learning of the level 35 PVP problem. Thats a big kill point for me.
And others.
Getting an "error 0" on load-in and then it loads in again and the same thing, and again and again.
Topic: The King of Towers /
What sorcery is this!?
Also note the order you place your units has an an impact on the outcome of PVP. If you go same-same then oft the better trained side will win. but if you can play off your strengths vs their weaknesses it can flip around.

NEWBERRY — Newberry County Council unanimously approved first reading of several proposed changes to zoning ordinances on Wednesday night.
First reading passed unanimously on an ordinance to change zoning on a Prosperity property from Rural R2 to General Commercial.
According to council, the owner of a boat/RV storage business off Dreher Island Road wants to expand. Council approved rezoning but Les Hoop questioned about woods area and buffer requirements.
Anne Peters with county zoning also explained the rationale of changing the parcel near Lake Greenwood.
First reading passed unanimously on an ordinance to a two-acre parcel from single family residential to RS1A.
The county planning commission unanimously approved the change which allows more boat/RV storage at an existing facility. Storage is needed as housing expands in the area.
The parcel on Homeland Way is owned by the subdivision. The changes still forbid manufactured homes and child daycare businesses in the area. All lots must be the same size in the rezoned area.
Owners can stay in RV campers 10 consecutive days per quarter provided they pay a special fee for the privilege.

I would expect this breaks down to:
One haul
Plus fiberglass work
Plus repainting the entire transom (rather than trying to blend)
Plus repainting the name on the transom
Plus trying not to work on the gray side of the hull.
On a car, at high urban prices, a $400 repair like redoing a quarter panel. Plus the price of the haul.
Even adding a boatyard penalty surcharge...$1300 sounds high. My only question is will your $300-400 yard guarantee to make the repair *invisible* or will they simply "try to match it" when they feather in the paint? Some shops are real good at that, others just don't even try. (Be glad they aren't planning the entire hull side with it!)

One plant penalty
Posted 05 January 2009 - 11:41 PM
Posted 06 January 2009 - 12:32 AM
Find a plot just off their property and no worries.
i was thinking about cultivating a single marijuana plant on my parents land in suburban MN, what are the penalties that would come witht the cultivation of a single plant? i have done research and i cannot find any cases that involve small amounts of plants
Penalties would be on your parents and could include loosing their property so dont grow on their side.

that makes sense, although kind of unsettling because i dont know how much traffic those areas get, while i know that the only way my plot at my parents place would get fucked is by fly overs
One plant should not be easy to spot, but just to play it safe I would grow in a low traffic area a few yards off their property. That way if you are seen by someone, more than likely you will still be on your parents property. But if the plant gets taken it will be out of your (your parents) hands

Unless your local LE have nothing better to do or you have a record all they would do if they found it is remove it,investigating one plant is just unheard of.
so if the plant is found a few feet off their property and the cops think that i planted it my parents are completely off the hook? that sounds odd, but i guess it makes sense
Posted 06 January 2009 - 05:04 AM
EDIT: Like ocitown said, they would probably just remove one plant unless they had nothing better to do and/or are behind on arrest quota

i mean you might get a male, then youre SOL. you can always throw the male out later and be left with one female. or possibly even have to choose between the better of two females!!! (love it when that happens:D)i duno

If you have any raspberry or blackberry canes around plant in there, critters don't like them and they grow nice and tall.
Nice link Leapgrog. I'm glad I'm in Europe although I have to watch my ass too... TELL NO ONE like fight club.
If you grow it horizontally ("swiss growing") in a well hidden niche, it can be good. I'm not in the Us though. If I was I would only start it at home and take it out like Ocitown said. At least, you'll sleep well every night.
Posted 06 January 2009 - 03:46 PM
yah thats the thing, the MN norml site doesnt specify what the penalties for cultivation are. They only refer to the weight of the marijuana. and if i am only growing one plant cant i pass it off as personal use and not distribution?
Isn't this enough specification?
Possession of 42.5 grams or more of marijuana is punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.
If your plant is yielding more than 42.5 grams then you have a real problem if you get caught.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- A study published today in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that annual medical expenditures for Crohn's disease patients are more than three times higher than those for a matched comparison group of patients. Similar results were found for people with ulcerative colitis.
The study examined both direct medical costs - inpatient and outpatient hospital care, office visits, emergency room visits, and prescription drugs - and indirect costs - absenteeism and short-term disability expenses - for patients with employer-sponsored health insurance. Annual medical expenses for Crohn's disease patients were $18,963 versus $5,300 for a matched comparison group. Ulcerative colitis patients' annual medical expenses were $15,020 versus $4,982 for the matched comparison group.
Over 1 million individuals in the United States are affected by Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which are inflammatory bowel diseases. Many are first affected in their 20s and 30s, during prime working years.
In severe cases, gastrointestinal surgery can be warranted, resulting in high costs. Annual medical costs for patients with a gastrointestinal surgery were $60,147 for patients with Crohn's disease and $72,415 for patients with ulcerative colitis.
Patient samples for the study were selected from the Thomson Reuters MarketScan(R) databases representing the healthcare experience of almost 100 large U.S. employers. Patients who had an episode of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (involving at least one inpatient admission, one emergency room visit or two outpatient visits) were matched with patients with no indication of either disease but similar in other respects (demographic, health plan, location, and health status characteristics).
The Healthcare business of Thomson Reuters conducted the research in
collaboration with researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago,

Hubble Space Telescope Begins To Provide Accurate Distances to Galaxies
February 5, 2005
Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST), an international team of astronomers has taken a major first step in redetermining the expansion rate of the universe. This rate, known as the Hubble Constant, is one of two critical numbers needed for making a precise determination of the size and age of the universe.

Izzo-less Michigan State beats Prairie View 90-51
EAST LANSING, Mich. Tom Izzo watched his team play on TV from his home a few miles from campus.
Izzo had to like what he saw during his one-game suspension, even if he probably didn't like having to serve it.
Durrell Summers scored a season-high 25 points, leading the 14th-ranked Spartans to a 90-51 win Saturday night over Prairie View A&M.
The NCAA forced Izzo to miss a game because the school employed someone associated with a potential recruit during a basketball camp in June. The person was paid $475 for five days to work with middle school-aged campers.
"I know he was dying," Michigan State forward Draymond Green said. "Coach isn't the type of person to miss a practice or film session, let alone a game. Knowing the type of person he is, it was eating him up inside."
No one with ties to Izzo recalls him missing a Michigan State game since Jud Heathcote hired him away from Northern Michigan to be a part-time assistant in 1983.
"I'd love to know who turned him in on this," Heathcote said in a telephone interview Saturday from his home in Spokane, Wash. "It sounds to me like a crock. It's ridiculous."
Associate head coach Mark Montgomery led the team in Izzo's absence and said he didn't get any tips from his mentor during the game.
"There was no halftime talk," Montgomery said. "No text messages."
The Spartans (8-3) won easily, as expected.
Green scored 11, had eight rebounds and four assists, Kalin Lucas had 10 points and a season-high eight assists and Delvon Roe added 10 points.
Michigan State's Korie Lucious, who aggravated his injured right ankle, was limited to eight minutes and Keith Appling didn't play in the second half because he was dizzy.
"I don't think it's a concussion," Appling said.
Trant Simpson scored 17 and Demondre Chapman of Flint had 13 points for the Panthers (2-10) from the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
Prairie View coach Byron Rimm said he was disappointed he didn't get to share the same sideline with Izzo.
"Tom Izzo has been one of my idols for a long time," Rimm said. "I'm not going to say it depressed me, but I really wanted to see him and go against him.
"But if you had to pick a game - I'd pick Prairie View, too."
The Texas-based school extended the longest nonconference road losing streak in Division I basketball, dropping its 64th straight since a win at Houston in 2002.
"It was one of those games that our team is going to learn from," Rimm said. "Even though Izzo wasn't here, that's a great basketball team."
Michigan State won its 52nd straight game at home against nonconference teams - since to a loss to Duke in 2003 - and that streak will be probably get tested Wednesday night against No. 22 Texas at the Breslin Center.
Izzo will be back for that game and likely will be even more fired up to coach.
"I know he's ready to get back at it," Green said. "We have film at 10:30 in the morning and he'll probably be here at 7."

Reconsideration of USTA Junior Competition Changes

Numbers of Nat'l opportunities reduced
Originally Posted by
You are making my point. Don't say it's 580 when, according to your numbers, its 928. A reduction to be sure...but no need to exaggerate to that extent.
Further, new L4s regionals are out-of-section opportunities that should definitely be counted because they will be a great place for the player who is a top sectional player but who is consistently a "2 and out" L1 player. They can go deep in these events. (But note that 25% will still go "2 and out") So hopefully, a strong sectional player can get out of the section and hopefully see a step-up in competition but not fly home having been able to count games won on one hand.
With that, said, here's my count of 14s in 2014:
Feb: 92 L2 + 128 L4
Mar/Apr: 32 L1
May: 16 L1 + 128 L3
128 ClayL1 + 128 L4 (I think they made a mistake and called this L3)
70 IntersL1 + 225 ZonalL3
Aug: 128 HardL1
Oct: 16 L1 + 128 L3 (Plus 4? for grand masters?)
Nov: 92 L2 + 128 L4
Dec: 32 TeamL1 + 32 TeamL2
Maybe I'm off a little or missed something but thats what I get. Adding up and you get: 1900 OUT-OF-SECTION playing opportunities.
Even just counting L1-3 like you did, I get 1035 so we're close, but both clearly a lot higher than 580 claimed in the above numbers....that's my point.
Broken down like this:
L1 (or L1A..whatever that means): 426
As far as USTA reconsidering. I do hope they open the L3/4 regionals up so you can play at any of the sites and could maybe add a L3 or L4 concurrent with Easters...but beyond that, I've always been willing to at least see how this plays out.
I think it gives a player more concrete achievement steps. I.e. first feather is to work hard and get a shot at a L4 or L3. Double your efforts and then you can hold head high that you made a L2. Work triple hard and MAYBE you can make easter bowl cut (assume that will be about #50-60 or so??). And what if you work triple or quadruple hard and DON'T make Easter32 cutoff? Great!! You still had that goal and you worked your hardest for it...or maybe you didn't turn over every stone?..so try again!
Versus right now, you can be ranked #200+, but you pretty much get to do 'everything' - yet you don't really have what it takes to go deep nationally. So you just fly to clays and hards and even winters and you happily "participate".
But in 2014, guess, what? You might might need a ranking of #150 to get into the L2. And you might need a ranking of #60 to get into Easter. Well...now you have some work to do and some concrete goals beyond 'participation'.
I have kids playing at different levels. I'm looking forward to seeing if my weaker kids can make it regionals and if my strongest player works double/triple/quadruple hard to 'make' some of these new levels of play. (Noting that even if the goal of Easters or whatever is not obtained, the truly important thing is the double/triple determination and effort trying to get there)
My observation with kids and sports is that if they are truly passionate and there is a goal that is a little out of reach, they will "turn it on" and push very hard to achieve it...but the kid who is a 'lock' for tryouts (or national selection) will not have the same urgency to improve. (clearly theres a few exceptions, but this is a good generalization that I've seen play out over and over.)
Whatever and However parents/players spin their nat'l opportunities is a personal perogative/perspective, but THE POINT IS THEY NEED TO BE THERE
IN ORDER TO Allow each of us to choose THEIR CHOICE OF WHAT TO DO WITH and EXPERIENCE THE NAt'L Opportunities
Again, restricted regionals are not NAt'l as proposed for 2014.
and is not counted as such. and you are getting the point by thinking hmm.. maybe they should open it up as a nat'l evnt and allow US to make the choice
Thank you to those that took the time to present the facts that
NUMBERS of NAT'L OPPORTUNITIES ARE BEING AND WILL BE REDUCED

A great time in Key Largo
Dick and Nancy are just as nice as can be and are now considered good friends. They were happy to answer any and all of our questions and were helpful in suggesting places to visit and places to eat out. Dick helped me put my sailboat in the water and I was able to keep it docked right in front of the appartment where I used it almost every day. I enjoy the water, so I spent alot of time swimming and snorkeling right off of our patio. The appartment itself is very comfortabe and clean as can be, and my wife loved having a washer and dryer right there for our use. Thanks again Dick and Nancy and we hope to see you again next year.

I'll Have Another Wins 138th Kentucky Derby
By editor
Originally published on Sat May 5, 2012 6:36 pm
Overtaking Bodemeister (at 6-1 odds) in a deep stretch, I'll Have Another, at 15-1 odds, pulled off an upset in the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday. Dullahan finished third.
I'll Have Another is owned by J. Paul Reddam and was trained by Doug O'Neill.
It was jockey Mario Gutierrez's first Derby race, according to the Associated Press. It was also trainer O'Neill's first Derby victory, having never finished better than 13th place with two previous horses.
