However, Mizzou is 0-2 all-time against this year's Tiger Invitational field (losses to VT and UM).
Mizzou was picked to finish fourth in a loaded SEC Eastern Division, trailing league favorite UT, UK and UF.

Mizzou needs to replace the loss of starting libero Priscilla Armendariz and middle hitter Brittney Brimmage.
Henning was the Tigers' sixth All-American after earning a spot on the AVCA All-America third team last year.
Henning was a unanimous selection to last year's All-Big 12 First Team.
Henning was the first ever Tiger to lead the Big 12 in points per set and kills per set in a single season in 2011.
Henning was just the third Tiger to eclipse 500 kills in a season and set the school record with 523 last year.
The Tigers landed 2010's No. 9 overall recruit in Taylor Simpson, who transferred to Mizzou in June.
Simpson led the Tigers with 12 kills on .476 hitting in the annual Black & Gold Scrimmage last Friday.
Simpson and teammate Jade Hayes played together on the USAVB Youth Olympic Team in 2010.
The duo helped Team USA to a silver medal at the Youth Olympics in Singapore.
Whitney Little and Katie O'Brien played with the USA Development team in Italy and Croatia this summer.
Little tied the school record with 138 blocks in her freshman season in 2011.
Both Little and Emily Wilson were members of the All-Big 12 Freshman Team a season ago.
Both Molly Kreklow and head coach Wayne Kreklow participated in the USAVB A-2 program this summer.
Tigers Open Regular Season With Stacked Home Tournament
After an impressive performance at the annual Black & Gold Scrimmage in front of one of the largest crowds in the history of the event, the Mizzou volleyball program will open its 2012 regular season this weekend as it hosts the annual Tiger Invitational. North Florida, Nicholls State, Virginia Tech and Big Ten for Michigan, who checks in at No. 23 in the AVCA Preseason Poll, will be on hand.
Tiger Invitational History
2012 marks the ninth time in the last 12 seasons that Mizzou has hosted this tournament. The Tigers have won the last five Tiger Invites and have never finished lower than second in the event. Mizzou is 10-0 (30-1 in sets) in the Tiger Invite since 2009 and has not lost a match in the Tiger Invite since 2007. In all, Mizzou is 28-2 in nine Tiger Invites. Last year, the Tigers defeated teams from Tulane, North Dakota State, Binghamton and Idaho State. Molly Kreklow was named Tournament MVP and was the Big 12 and AVCA National Player of the Week for her efforts. Emily Wilson and Brittney Brimmage earned spots on the All-Tournament team as well.
Last Time Out
The Tigers hosted their annual Black & Gold Scrimmage at the Hearnes Center in front of a large crowd last Friday. The Gold Team, comprised mostly of the Tiger starters, defeated the Black Team, 3-0 (25-14, 25-23, 15-12). Tiger newcomer Taylor Simpson led the way with 12 kills on .476 hitting while AVCA Third Team All-American Lisa Henning pitched in 10 kills on .292 hitting in the match. Junior setter Molly Kreklow spread 30 assists and guided the Gold Team to a .350 attack percentage in the match. Defensively, sophomore Sarah Meister led the way with a match-high 10 total digs while splitting time with the Gold and Black Teams while committing just one service reception error.
A New Era Begins
2012 will mark the Tigers' first year in the SEC. In all, Mizzou has played 61 matches against current SEC schools in program history, compiling a 25-36 overall record. Of course, many of those matches were between former Big 12 foe Texas A&M as Mizzou is 13-13 overall against schools that were in the SEC last season. Mizzou was 1-1 last year against SEC schools, sweeping Auburn and losing to Florida, 3-1, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Tigers Picked Fourth in SEC East
The Tigers, in the their first SEC Preseason Poll, were picked to finish fourth in the Eastern Division by the league's coaches. The loaded SEC East features league favorite Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida, all of which rank ahead of Mizzou. The Gators narrowly edged the Tigers in the poll for third place. The Tigers received 37 votes in the poll while Tennessee (12), UK (30) and Florida (35) edged the Tigers.
Kreklow, Henning Land on All-SEC Preseason Team
The Mizzou volleyball program may be new to the Southeastern Conference, but it has already earned the respect of its peers as the Tigers placed two student-athletes on the Preseason All-SEC Team, which was released on Aug. 7. Juniors Lisa Henning and Molly Kreklow were named to the nine-person All-SEC Preseason Team. Mizzou joined Kentucky and league-favorite Tennessee as the only teams to place two players on the All-SEC Preseason Team. Henning is fifth among active SEC players with 789 kills in her career.
Kreklows Participate in USA Volleyball A-2 Program Over the Summer
Junior Molly Kreklow and Mizzou head coach Wayne Kreklow spent 10 days during the summer in Columbus, Ohio, for the USA Volleyball A-2 Program - Molly as a player and Wayne as a coach, albeit of different teams. Wayne coached the Blue Team to a perfect 3-0 record in pool play, but his team lost a semifinal matchup, dropping it to the third-place match, which it won, 3-2 (25-20, 22-25, 25-18, 23-25, 15-11) over Molly's Red Team.
Little, O'Brien Play Together in Italy, Croatia
Sophomores Whitney Little and Katie O'Brien played with the USA Development/Bring-It Promotions tour in Italy and Croatia this summer. The Tiger duo played with some of the nation's most talented underclassmen over the week-long tour and their team played in the European Global Challenge. It marks the third straight season that Mizzou has had a student-athlete play in the program. Former Tiger Julianna Klein played in Brazil prior to the 2010 season while current Tiger junior Lisa Henning played in China prior to the 2011 season.
Tigers Land Heralded Recruit Taylor Simpson
The Tigers landed a huge commit in the offseason as sophomore Taylor Simpson transferred to Mizzou. Most recently, Simpson played at the University of Nebraska but had transferred to Florida State this summer before committing to Mizzou. She is eligible to play immediately in 2012 and will give the Tigers another solid hitter at the net. She was rated the No. 9 recruit nationally by PrepVolleyball.com before committing to Nebraska in 2010. She is the highest-ranked recruit in program history.
Connection for Hayes and Simpson
Although Taylor Simpson will have to adapt to playing with a new team this season, the transition will be made a little bit easier thanks to a former teammate that is on the Tiger roster. Defensive specialist Jade Hayes played with Simpson on the USAVB Youth Olympic Team in 2010. The duo led Team USA to a Silver Medal in Singapore. What the Tigers Bring Back
It has been well documented that the Tigers bring back the majority of its production from its NCAA Tournament team from a season ago. Below is a look at what the Tiger bring back in 2012:
Mizzou brings back 81.4-percent of its kills from last season
The Tigers return All-American Lisa Henning, who tallied a school-record 523 kills last season
Henning is one of two All-SEC Preseason picks on the Tiger roster this season (Molly Kreklow is the other)
The Tigers bring back two All-Big 12 Freshman Team members in Whitney Little and Emily Wilson
Little set the school record in blocks last year (138) while Wilson was the first Tiger frosh since `06 with 300 kills
The Tigers bring back 94-percent of their assists from a season ago
Mizzou returns 87-percent of its aces from last season
Mizzou returns 66-percent of its total blocks last season
Lastly, Mizzou brings back 71-percent of its total digs last season despite losing its starting libero
Heading into 2012, it is clear that Mizzou brings back a wealth of production from last year's roster, but the Tigers will need to place their libero from last year (Priscilla Armendariz) and one of the nation's most athletic middle hitters in Brittney Brimmage. Below is a look at the things that the Tigers will need to replace this season.
The Tigers will need to replace Armendariz's team-best 494 digs from last season
Mizzou will need to replace 300 kills (on .352 hitting) from Brimmage
The Tigers will also need to replace Brimmage's 98 blocks from last season, which were second-best on the team
There will be no senior leadership on this year's team after the departure of Armendariz and Brimmage
The Tigers will also need to replace Armendariz's reliable passing as she led the team with a .964 service reception percentage last season.
Seeing 20-20
Mizzou has eclipsed the 20-win mark in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2004 and 2005. In 2010, Mizzou won 22 matches en-route to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 and last year the Tigers had 21 wins, showing the stability of the program under the direction of Wayne and Susan Kreklow.
Tigers Coming off of Second-Consecutive NCAA Tournament and 10th in 12 seasons
The Tigers finished last season in somewhat of an improbable spot despite having nine underclassmen on a roster of 11, including seven freshmen. But that didn't stop the talented bunch from qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, marking the second straight appearance and the 10th time in the last 12 seasons, all coming under Wayne and Susan Kreklow.
An Experienced Youthful Group
It is a well known fact that Mizzou was the youngest team (% of underclassmen) to qualify for the NCAA Tournament last season, but heading into 2012, the Tigers boast a roster that is comprised of 10 underclassmen and two juniors, making them the youngest team in the SEC. In fact, Mizzou's roster is 83-percent underclassmen and it is the only SEC roster that does not have a senior. Mississippi State is the next-youngest team in the league as it is comprised of 76.9-percent underclassmen. What is impressive about the Tigers' youth is that they are a very experienced group as well as seven of the 10 underclassmen are sophomores and helped guide Mizzou to the NCAA Tournament as freshmen last year.
Kreklow Nets Win No. 400
Mizzou head coach Wayne Kreklow earned his 400th victory as a head coach in the Tigers' win over Baylor on Nov. 5 last season. Of his now 401 wins, 134 have come during his time as head coach at Mizzou. He was won nearly 63-percent of his matches at Mizzou.
Kreklows Win No. 750
Mizzou's win at Kansas on Nov. 2 last season marked the 750th career win for Wayne and Susan Kreklow as a pair. The win total dates back to their time as co-head coaches of the men's and women's teams at Columbia College. Of the now 752 wins, 243 of those have come during the Kreklow's 12 seasons at Mizzou.
Notables from 2011
With 21 wins last season, Mizzou has broken the 20-win plateau for the seventh time since 2000. In fact, before Wayne and Susan Kreklow took over the program in 2000, Mizzou eclipsed the 20-win mark just seven times from 1974-1999 and had not done so since 1983.
Of Mizzou's 21 wins last season, 11 came against teams that won at least 20 matches in 2010 and four of those 11 teams won more than 26 matches in 2010.
Mizzou was 7-3 in neutral site matches last season.
Mizzou knocked off a pair of teams - Texas A&M and Oklahoma - that ranked among the RPI top 30.
Mizzou had just one loss to teams ranked outside the RPI top 50 this season and that was to UC-Davis.
Mizzou had six wins against RPI top 50 teams and 10 vs. the top 100.
North Florida comes into the 2012 season with high expectations after a 14-17 season in 2011. The 2012 season marks the first for head coach Steve Loeswick, a 1996 graduate of USC. The Ospreys were picked to finish fifth in the Atlantic Sin Conference while senior Paige Pridgeon was picked to the All-Atlantic Sun Preseason Team. Pridgeon, despite being just 5-7, led the Ospreys in kills last season with 387 last season but hit just .123.
Other key returners for the Ospreys in 2012 are Anna Budinska, who was third on the team with 196 kills last season (.142 hitting) and setter Casey Giovanazzi, who averaged 9.19 assists per set last year. The Ospreys also bring back Carolyn Jenkins, who was second on the team with 243 kills last season while hitting a team-best .243.
Series Information
Mizzou and North Florida have never met. In fact, the matchup with the Ospreys will mark the Tiger volleyball team's first-ever matchup against an Atlantic Sun Conference team.
Scouting Virginia Tech
After finishing 18-13 last season with an 11-9 mark in ACC play, the Virginia Tech Hokies were picked to finish seventh in the ACC Preseason Poll this year. The Hokies bring back four starters and their libero from a season ago. The Hokies also bring back All-ACC middle blocker Cara Baarendse, who was one of the best all-around players in the conference last season. She had 327 kills on .295 hitting with 225 digs and 84 blocks. She is a two-time All-ACC player as well.
The Hokies also bring back senior outside hitter Jennifer Wiker, who tallied 320 kills and 84 blocks a season ago. She played as a member of the White Team at this year's USA Volleyball A-2 program, helping her team to a gold medal in the 10-day event.
Series Information
Mizzou and Virginia Tech have met just once in program history and that came back in 2010 as part of the Western Kentucky Invitational. That year, Mizzou lost to the Hokies, 3-1, as the Tigers hit just .155 in the match while Tech hit .323. There are two holdovers from the Tiger roster from that year - Molly Kreklow and Lisa Henning. Kreklow had 38 assists, eight digs, two blocks and a kill in that match while Henning posted three kills on eight swings. Cara Baarendse played in that match for Virginia Tech and posted a match-high 18 kills on .441 hitting in the match.
Scouting Nicholls State
The Nicholls State Colonels finished the 2011 season at 18-14 overall and return four starters and a libero from last year's team that was 5-11 in Southland Conference action last season. In all, Nicholls brings back four of their top five attackers from a season ago, including Jennifer Brandt, who led the team with 306 kills. Also, the Colonels top two hitters from a season ago - Sarah Terry and Jessica Addicks - return. Terry led the team with a .294 attack percentage while posting 220 kills. Addicks was second on the team with a .272 clip while ranking third on the team with 239 kills. Those two also combined for 197 total blocks last season.
Series Information
Mizzou and Nicholls State have never met. However, Mizzou is 8-6 all-time against Southland Conference opponents, with the most recent meeting coming last year in a 3-0 sweep of Central Arkansas at the Hearnes Center.
Scouting Michigan
Michigan comes into the weekend as the nation's No. 23 team in the AVCA Preseason Poll. The Wolverines are coming off of a Sweet 16 run in last year's NCAA Tournament. Coincidentally, they were knocked out of the tournament by the same team that eliminated the Tigers - Flordia. Mizzou fell 3-1 to the Gators in the opening round while UM was swept in Gainesville. However, Michigan did pull one of the biggest upsets of the 2011 tournament, upending No. 6 Stanford, 3-1, in the second round of the tourney.
UM was not picked to finish among the league's top six teams in the preseason Big Ten poll and did not have a player on the All-Big Ten Preseason Team. However, setter Lexi Dannemiller and hitters Lexi Erwin (361 kills on .173 hitting) and Claie McElheny (333 kills on .277 hitting) return along with the nation's No. 12 overall recruiting class.
Series Information
The Tigers and Wolverines have met just once in history and that came at UM back in 2009 as the Wolverines swept the Tigers. No current Tigers or Wolverines played in that match.
Henning First Tiger to Lead Big 12 in Kills Per Set, Points Per Set
Sophomore Lisa Henning was a unanimous selection to the All-Big 12 First Team last season and an AVCA All-American Third Team selection, becoming the first Tiger underclassman to be named to the All-America teams. Henning led the Big 12 in kills per set (4.65) and points per set (5.16) in league play, becoming the first Tiger to ever accomplish such a feat. She also posted the Big 12's top four point performances in league play and the top two kills performances. She gives Mizzou a pair of unanimous All-Big 12 picks in the last two years after Paola Ampudia earned a spot on the 2010 team.
Henning Breaks School Record
Staying on the topic of Lisa Henning, she broke the school record with 523 kills last season and became just the third Tiger in program history to eclipse the 500-kill mark in a single season. What is even more remarkable about Henning is that she had almost 400 attacks than the next-best Tiger last year but still hit .246 on the season.
Kreklow Keeps Digging
Sophomore setter Molly Kreklow broke the Mizzou single season record for digs by a setter in the rally scoring era with her 307 last season. Lei Wang-Francisco held the previous mark with 284 in 2007. The all-time record for digs by a setter in a single season is 334 by Gwen Mullens in 1994, but that was pre-rally scoring.
Wilson Nets 300 Kills
Freshman outside hitter Emily Wilson had 320 kills last season and is the first Tiger freshman since 2006 to break the 300-kill mark in a single season. Her 320 kills this season are the fourth most ever by a Tiger freshman and the second-best total in the rally scoring era. Yvette Buhlig holds the freshman record with 361 back in 1988 while Weiwen Wang (343, 2007) is the only freshman to rank ahead of Wilson during the rally scoring era. She was an All-Big 12 Freshman Team selection in 2011.
Big Crowds at Home
Mizzou finished the regular season ranked 13th in average home attendance at 2,298 fans per match. That mark also ranked the Tigers second in the Big 12 behind only league champion Texas. In all, 25,279 fans attended Tiger home matches, helping the Tigers to a 10-3 mark inside the Hearnes Center this season.
Program Highlights
The Tigers just completed the most successful decade in program history last year. In fact, Mizzou has averaged 22 wins per season since 2000 and is one of just 22 teams nationally to qualify for 10 NCAA Tournaments since 2000. The Tigers were on that average last year with 21 wins and a berth to the NCAA Tournament.
A Look at the Tiger Freshmen
Aside from newcomer transfer Taylor Simpson, Mizzou will have two more fresh faces on the court this season as freshmen Lydia Ely and Regan Peltier join the team in 2012. Ely, listed at 6-6, is the tallest player to ever compete for Mizzou and was the No. 4 recruit in the state of Missouri. Peltier was a second team AVCA/Under Armour High School All-American last season and is a versatile athlete that can play nearly everywhere on the floor. Both should make an immediate impact this season with the Tigers. Ely posted four kills and three blocks in three sets for the Black Team at the Black & Gold Scrimmage while Peltier had four kills on 15 swings with two digs for the Black Team.
Brimmage Returns as Volunteer Assistant Coach
After a very successful career as a middle hitter at Mizzou, Brittney Brimmage returns to Mizzou to be a volunteer assistant coach with the team in 2012. She will primarily serve as a practice player on the Tiger scout team, giving the Tigers a great middle hitter to compete against in practice every day. Brimmage was a preseason All-Big 12 pick and was twice recognized as a member of the COBRA Magazine All-National Team, recognizing the top African-American players in the nation.
Tigers On Television
The Mizzou volleyball program will be televised nationally four times, including a program-high three times on ESPNU this season. In all, the Tigers have five scheduled televised matches that will be seen throughout the state of Missouri this season. Below are the television dates for the Tigers.
Sept. 12 vs. Tennessee - ESPNU
Oct. 14 vs. Mississippi State - ESPNU
Oct. 19 at Ole Miss - SportSouth
Oct. 24 - at Georgia - ESPNU
Nov. 2 - vs. South Carolina - Mizzou Sports Network
If you can't be at the Tigers' matches this season, you can still catch all of the action at MUTigers.com as all of the matches will be streamed with audio and home matches will have video and audio. Jim Grundy will be in his first year as the team's play-by-play announcer. All broadcasts can be accessed at MUTigers.tv.
Up Next
The Tigers will hit the road for back-to-back weekend tournaments following the Tiger Invitational. Next weekend, the Tigers will head to 2012 Lipscomb Invitational in Nashville. There, Mizzou will play Lipscomb, a perrenial NCAA Tournament team, along with Houston and Appalachian State.

While the mystically-minded are preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse, Russian authorities have decided to cheer everyone up by giving people a historic perspective on the world's ups and downs.
President Medvedev has announced that the year 2012 will be a celebration of Russian history. The purpose of the special project is to draw attention to Russian history and its significant role in world politics. A new committee is to be set up which will propose suitable celebratory events that will take place throughout Russia.
This year also coincides with several important anniversaries in Russian history. 2012 marks 200 years since the military victory over Napoleon, 1150 years of Russia's sovereignty, and 150 years since the birth of Russia's great reformer, Pyotr Stolypin.
Meanwhile, many Russians are taking the Mayan Apocalypse warning seriously and have come up with different ways to survive it.
For example, Evgeny Ubiyko, a military engineer, has constructed the Doomsday Capsule. The invention is perfectly hermetic, with four layers of insulation. It can float, roll down hills, and land upside down – all without being damaged.

The reading list
"In the days before the Internet, eating at an unknown restaurant meant relying on a clutch of quick and dirty heuristics. The presence of many truck drivers or cops at a lonely diner supposedly vouchsafed its quality (though it may simply have been the only option around). For 'ethnic' food, there was the classic benchmark: 'We were the only non-[insert ethnicity] people in there.' Or you could spend anxious minutes on the sidewalk, under the watchful gaze of the host, reading curling, yellowed reviews, wondering if what held in 1987 was still true today. In an information-poor environment, you sometimes simply went with your gut (and left clutching it).
"Today, via Yelp (or TripAdvisor or Amazon, or any Web site teeming with 'user-generated content'), you are often troubled by the reverse problem: too much information. As I navigate a Yelp entry to simply determine whether a place is worth my money, I find myself battered between polar extremes of experience: One meal was 'to die for,' another 'pretty lame.' Drifting into narrow currents of individual proclivity (writing about a curry joint where I had recently lunched, one reviewer noted that 'the place had really good energy, very Spiritual [sic], which is very important to me'), I eventually capsize in a sea of confusion. I either quit the place altogether or, by the time I arrive, am weighed down by a certain exhaustion of expectation, as if I had already consumed the experience and was now simply going through the motions."
"What I find most striking is that, having begun the process of looking for reviews of the restaurant, I find myself reviewing the reviewers. The use of the word 'awesome' … is a red flag."

One evening each month, the lower level of the Old Whalers' Church in Sag Harbor comes alive with tasty food, great wine, beautiful decorations and top rated chefs as part of the Great Chefs Series, an interactive food tasting and cooking class in which community members are invited to come learn a few insider secrets they can take back to their own kitchens.
The series was developed by local caterer and all around foodie, Lillian Woudsma as a fundraiser for the Community House Fund at the Old Whalers' Church, and money raised at the dinners is used to improve and maintain the church's facilities which are used by a wide range of community groups that collectively serve several hundred people each week. But once a month, what is served is fine food and scintillating conversation and with the holidays fast approaching, Woudsma decided that the next Great Chefs event, which takes place on Wednesday, December 15 at 6:30 p.m., should have a decadent holiday theme.
The jammed packed evening will cover everything from making table arrangements — offered by florist Maureen Kinney— to preparing desserts including a flourless chocolate cake and citrus lemon and lime bars on a cake crust by pastry chef Gerri Tomitz. The evening will also feature a demonstration on creating holiday drinks — including egg nog — and a champagne, cranberry juice and sliced strawberry punch. Then there's the full dinner menu of homemade corn bread muffins with duck and homemade cranberry chutney, brined and hickory grilled turkey breast, boneless ham wrapped in puff pastry and wild rice pilaf with walnut and cranberries all presented by Woudsma.
Like every Great Chefs event, Woudsma notes that guests will have the opportunity to get a good tasting of all the food as well as learn how to make everything presented over the course of the evening and ask questions. For Woudsma, the Great Chef Series is all about great food, great presentation and creating an opportunity for the talented area chefs to be accessible to the community.
"It's more than a cooking class," she says. "It's a special evening out, there is nothing like this done out here."
"When you think about it, where else can you spend a lovely evening eating fantastic food, drinking as much great wine as you like and learning and interacting with first class chefs for $30 a person?" she asks.
And, unlike other cooking classes, guests won't have to worry about eating off flimsy paper plates and cups at this event. Servers bring around trays of food served on china plates, a bartender serves wine in real glasses and there are always seasonal decorations adorning the tables.
During the off season, Woudsma notes the series attracts around 30 people on most nights and in the summer, closer to 60 and she hopes the numbers will continue to grow. And when it comes to defining the crowd, Woudsma notes that it's a very mixed group with older folks, mothers and daughters, groups of girlfriends and couples of all ages opting to take part.
"There are even single men," notes Woudsma.
Woudsma and Rev. Mark Phillips, pastor at the Old Whalers' Church, both agree that the main feedback they receive from participants as they are leaving is "When will the next one will be?"
"People come as strangers and leave as friends," Rev. Phillips reflects.
Since the program began in April, many of the area's chefs have been featured including Jim Renner from Il Cappuccino Restaurant in Sag Harbor and Cynthia Battaglia of Cynthia Battaglia Distinctive Catering. There have been various themes for the evening as well, including a menu made from all local ingredients, Italian, French and seafood among others.
In addition to choosing the menu, preparing the foods and teaching the class, so far, all the chefs have donated the food, recipes and their time so all the proceeds can go towards the Community House Fund.
Woudsma, a close friend with many of the chefs, describes the chef community as a "supportive group that have rallied around each other for years. They know I wouldn't ask them for a favor unless it was important."
When Woudsma was first approached to help fundraise for the Community House Fund, since she is a caterer herself, it was natural for food to be her inspiration. "It's my passion and I always believe that if you have a passion you do it for money or free, you just do it," she says.
As a former director of the Sag Harbor Food Pantry, which operates out of the same space as the Great Chefs events, she believes strongly that the space plays a "vital and cherished" role in the Sag Harbor community. The Community House Fund at the Old Whalers' Church goes toward supporting the building's community spaces which, in addition to the food pantry, currently host Alcoholic Anonymous, Weight Watchers, the Conservative Synagogue of the Hamptons, the Sag Harbor Youth Group and the Sag Harbor LVIS. Though community house functions operate separately from the church itself, Rev. Phillips notes the Old Whalers' Church acts as steward of the property.
"We work as hard as we can to keep the money coming in to make repairs and maintain the space, but it's a community space, not a church space," he says.
The Great Chefs "A Holiday Tabletop Spectacular" begins at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 15 in the lower level of the Old Whalers' Church, 44 Union Street, Sag Harbor. Admission is $30. Call Lillian Woudsma at 553-6515 to reserve.

The Catholic Church is preparing to adopt a new translation of its English liturgy, the Roman Missal, on Nov. 27, the first Sunday of Advent. The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston has spent months training priests and parishioners about the new translation, which changes the wording for prayers during mass to better match the original Latin liturgy. The Roman Missal is the book from which priests read prayers during services. Photos taken Thursday noon November 17, 2011 at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in downtown Houston.

John Carrara, a deacon at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, holds a new Missal.
For decades, whenever a Roman Catholic priest said, "The Lord be with you," the congregation responded, "And also with you." But not anymore.
At the start of Advent on Nov. 27, Catholics will adopt changes that make the words spoken during Mass in English closer to the church's official Latin, adding dozens of small substitutions to the liturgy many Catholics pray instinctively. It's the biggest shift in the Mass since Vatican II.
"And also with you" becomes "And with your spirit" in the third translation of the English Roman Missal, the result of years of work under the direction of Vatican and international committees. The changes force English-speaking Catholics in Houston and across the globe to re-examine the theology behind their traditional language.
The new translation sounds richer, more reverent and it better matches the versions being used by other languages, like Spanish, said the Rev. Michael Buentello, chaplain at the University of St. Thomas.
"It will reflect a more noble use of language," he said. "There's a tendency of being too casual with God, and in the new translation, we get to reinforce these beautiful theological terms that we use."
The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston organized months of training for priests, ministers, parishioners and Catholic students, and this fall, most parishes began incorporating new liturgical music that goes along with the new Roman Missal, the book priests use to lead Mass.
Church leadership hopes that by rolling out the new translation during the Christmas season, when services are better attended, they'll reach more families.
"I guarantee you that somebody's going to say, 'What's this all about?' There will always be someone like that, but we have been very aggressive about keeping people informed," said Monsignor Bill Young at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church on Buffalo Speedway.
Vatican directive
As have most priests, Young has spoken about the new changes before every Mass for weeks, in addition to providing online training and literature about the new missal.
Until churches can budget for updated hymnals - St. Anne's Catholic Church in River Oaks estimates spending $14,000 to $15,000 on them in the upcoming year - many plan to use booklet inserts and cards with the new responses.
The new translation was spurred on by a 2001 Vatican directive to improve liturgical translations and ended up with final approval from the Holy See last year.
Older Catholics remember the dramatic shift that came with the Second Vatican Council, which ultimately reformatted the Mass, turning the priest toward the parishioners as they prayed together in native languages instead of the traditional Latin.
The same group that helped implement English in the '70s, the church's Internal Commission on English in the Liturgy, directed the move to the new translation, which follows the Latin text word-for-word rather than simply by concept. For the past decade, the Vatican Committee Vox Clara, or Clear Voice, has overseen the process.
Format unchanged
Unlike Vatican II, the new translation only affects wording and does not alter the format of the Mass.
The archdiocese has used the updates to re-educate area Catholics on how the liturgy articulates church teachings and Scripture.
"It's an awakening to the power of the Mass and its role in my life," said Clarence Mallett, a retiree and lifelong Catholic living in Missouri City. "It's not only understanding the change … but what's already been there. That's the beauty of it."
Some Catholics have complained that the wording has become too formal. For example, in the Nicene Creed, "One in being with the Father" becomes "consubstantial with the Father." In the Gloria, the line sung about Jesus as the "only Son of the Father" is now translated as "Only Begotten Son."
"Any change in familiar prayers can become frustrating," said the Rev. John Rooney at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church in Missouri City. "Change is always hard … but it's not mine to play with. It's an injustice for me to put my own spin on it."
That means, even if parishioners preferred things the old way, all English-speaking parishes must begin using the new translation next Sunday, from the mass greeting to concluding rites.
"This really isn't simply about changing a few words," said Sister Deborah Clark, who helped Rooney lead sessions on the changes. "On a deeper level, it's really about what we're doing, what we're praying together when we pray the liturgy."

Editor's Note: It's Geek to Me is moving. Starting July 5, It's Geek to Me will begin running Saturdays on the business page of the Daily News.
Q: I send out group emails to about 400 addressees for an organization I belong to. Every time I send one I get a mailer daemon message saying "[redacted]@yahoo.com is not a valid recipient." I am certain I have no such addressee on my list. It's just a nuisance but I'd like to get rid of it.
Bud F.
Fort Walton Beach, Florida
A: It really is only a minor thing, Bud. Nevertheless, let's take a look at the situation, and maybe we'll learn something along the way.
The way I see it, there are two problems here. The first is that you're assuming the e-mails you're sending are going straight to the intended recipients and stopping there. What you're failing to take into account are e-mail forwarding services, out-of-office replies, and so on. I suspect that someone's e-mail account is auto-forwarding your e-mail to this address, but leaving your address in the "Reply-To" field. So, when it fails, you get the bounce notification. The second problem is that the recipient account in question does not exist. I sent an e-mail to it myself, and it was immediately bounced with a "This user doesn't have a yahoo.com account" error.
So what to do? Well, you could make this whole thing go away immediately by simply going out to yahoo.com and creating the account in question. That, by the way, is why I redacted the e-mail address in your question. If I hadn't, sure as I'm sitting here typing this, some joker would go out and create the account before you do, and thwart your attempt to find out who is doing it. Once the account is created, if you never looked at it again, who cares? Your mail bounce problem will have gone away, since there is now a valid recipient. However, if it was me, I would go and look at the account the next time you send out one of your mass e-mails. You should find your e-mail in the inbox, and an examination of the e-mail's header might just reveal whose account is auto-forwarding your message to this non-existent account.
If you don't like that option, there's another way you can find the culprit, but it's a bit more work. Take note that you cannot try this method after trying the one above, because existence of the account will cause the e-mail to no longer get bounced. This second method involves sending e-mails out to accounts until you've narrowed down which one is causing the bounce-back. No, you needn't send 400 e-mails to do it. Using a little trick that we Computer Science Geeks call a "Binary Search" you should be able to do it in no more than 8 e-mails. What you do is divide your e-mail list in half, and send a test message out to one half. If you get the bounce-back, you know the culprit is in that half. If not, it's in the other half. Divide that group in half again and repeat. Keep repeating until you've narrowed it down.
Again, with 400 addresses, it should take only 8 e-mails to narrow it down to a single address. Once you've pinpointed the culprit, remove that one from your distribution list, and the annoyance is gone.
Q: How do I get rid of the popups that seem to multiply?
Fort Walton Beach, Florida
A: This sounds like the setup line for a bad joke. Really, my Dear Geeks, there are no extra points for verbosity. I can't use questions that are too long, but when they are so short that they don't really describe a problem, I can't use them either. Nevertheless, I'm going to try.
First of all, make sure any pop-up blockers that are already on your system are turned on. Since you didn't tell me what browser you're using, or anything about any anti-malware, or system security software you might have, I can't give you any instructions on how to turn them on for your particular setup, but the Internet can. Do some searching on it.
Second, try running any or all of the following pieces of software to clean up any ad-serving malware that might be infecting your system: CCleaner, Ad-Aware, SpyBot Search and Destroy, SuperAntiSpyware, and Malwarebytes Antimalware. All of these can be found using your favorite search engine, and downloaded for free.

Our most popular option for conference table data ports is the 4″ wiring grommet, shown here in a frosted glass conference table top: Read more
Last year Stoneline designed a conference table and credenza for a glass container manufacturer in Louisiana. Because glass is key to their business, we designed their table with our Patterned Scratched glass finish. It is a unique glass treatment with a sparkling blue-grey color. We just received this letter from the client:
It's been almost nine months since we received the conference table and credenza from Stoneline Designs, and I wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed the compliments we have received from our visitors. Since we are a glass container manufacturing facility, it is appropriate for the beautiful glass design table. The 12.5 ft Crescent conference table with scratched glass and the beautiful credenza definitely make a statement!
It was a pleasure working with Diana and Monte. You calmed my fears about ordering from an internet showroom. We could not be happier with the experience and the product.
Barbara, we're so glad you're enjoying the table and credenza. We hope you'll send a photo, maybe with examples of your glass containers on the table so we can see how well they go together. Thanks so much!
Spring has arrived in North Carolina, and when weather permits, our artisans move some of their work outside. Here Mace uses a diamond drum to polish the wiring hole in a glass conference table top. Read more
We just received these photos of a conference table we designed for a client in Ohio. The client is an innovative environmental designer which specializes in changing people's behavior through the design of physical space. The conference table, from our Crescent line, features a boat shape top with our "Scratched" glass finish. The table was installed in a training facility designed by our client. We also provided several pieces of "Scratched" glass which were used to create signage and counters in the space.
Stoneline Designs is pleased to add the Bamboo Conference Table to our line of custom designed, hand built conference tables. The Bamboo Conference Table is sustainable inside and out: the top and pedestal feature bamboo veneer, a renewable resource. The substrate is low emissions MDF, made with no formaldehyde-based glue. And the table is finished with a water based, low VOC finish. Read more
The Stoneline Designs team receives a shipment for upcoming granite conference table orders. In this photo Brian, Rob and Mace guide a granite slab off the truck while Bart drives the forklift. Read more
In this photo, Stoneline Designs artisan Mace sands the beveled edge of a granite conference table. Running water reduces heat from friction, and keeps the sander from clogging with debris. The water appears cloudy due to debris rinsing away from the sanding surface.This granite will be used as part of a multiple piece conference table top, held together with a T-bar in between each piece of granite. Mace stops frequently and measures the bevel against the T-bar, to make sure the edge of the bevel and the edge of the T-bar line up perfectly. This takes time, but ensures a perfect fit and seamless appearance to the finished conference table.
Our responsibility to you doesn't end when your conference table is made. We expertly crate and palletize your table for safe transport to your door.
The wiring grommet is our most popular option for adding wiring/power to a conference table. A 4″ hole is cut into the table top, and fitted with a wiring grommet including 2 power and 2 phone/data jacks. The grommet includes a removable cap and is positioned over the pedestal so that wires can be concealed within the pedestal.
We just received this note from a customer who had purchased a conference table with built in power/data, and matching credenza. It really made our day.
The furniture arrived yesterday. It is unbelievable, and completely exceeded my expectations. I am a very details oriented person, and Monte's attention to details and use of quality materials is unlike anything I've ever seen. Things like matching covers over screw holes, routed indentations so the center outlet cup doesn't hang up on screw holes, grommeted cord pass-throughs and vents in the credenza, routed finger pulls, set screws in the power cups to perfectly adjust their height, soft felt backing on the back of the outlet cup covers so they don't scratch the glass, and so on. The weight and quality of the materials also deserves note. The 3/4″ scratched glass is beautiful. The steel box tubing and 1/4″ steel pipe used for the outlet cups is substantial. The stuff is weighty, beautiful, and functional. I purchase a lot of high-end "designer" furniture, but none of it compares to this. I literally stumbled across Stoneline Designs doing a web search for a conference table, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my decision to use you guys. In a world of poorly designed, mass-produced, cheaply constructed furniture, you guys stand alone in my opinion. Cutting edge contemporary designs crafted with true artisan hand-made craftsmanship. Rock on Stoneline.
–Thanks, Don
Bass & Company Management Consultants
Thanks Don, we're so glad the conference table and credenza are happy in their new home. Rock on!

WITH the dawn of full genome sequencing for $1000 or less will come the need to protect our genetic privacy like never before.
So warns the US Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, which is calling for a ban on unauthorised sequencing - citing New Scientist's 2009 investigation into genome hacking as evidence of a threat (New Scientist, 28 March 2009, p 6).
The most obvious threat to privacy comes from breaches in the security of computer systems that hold DNA sequence data.
But our investigation pointed to another danger: surreptitious sequencing. An item such as a used drinking glass could be obtained by a third party, who might then employ commercially available services to extract DNA from the rim and analyse it to judge a person's genetic predisposition to disease.
The new report comes down firmly against such activities, concluding: "policies should protect individual privacy by prohibiting unauthorized whole genome sequencing without the consent of the individual from whom the sample came."

Oat Quinoa Turkey Chili Recipe
Posted on 9th of February, 2011 by Lévana
Oat Quinoa Turkey Chili
For all of us whose love of beans remains, alas, unrequited, let me say you can make a perfect chili substituting oat, quinoa, and lentils in any proportion for the feisty beans, so you can have your chili and eat it too!
Ground turkey is an ideal choice as it is so lean and so full of flavor.
You can easily make this dish vegetarian: It has lots of great flavor going for it even without the meat. If beans are no trouble, by all means use them—3 cups in all—but soak them overnight and cook the dish a little longer until the beans are tender.
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onion, quartered
2 ribs celery, peeled and cut in thirds
4 large cloves garlic
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
1 small bunch cilantro, stems discarded
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut in chunks
1½ pounds ground turkey, beef, lamb, or bison (skip for an all-vegetarian dish or substitute 1 pound seitan, diced)
4 cups canned crushed tomatoes
⅓ cup tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine
6 bay leaves, or 1 teaspoon ground
⅓ cup chili powder
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 cup quinoa, thoroughly rinsed and strained
1 cup short grain brown rice or barley
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons oregano
Salt and ground pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a wide heavy pot. Make the sofrito: Coarsely grind in a food processor the onion, celery, garlic, parsley, cilantro, and red pepper, and add the ground mixture to the pot. Sauté until translucent. Add the meat and sauté, breaking up any large chunks, until no longer pink. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, bay leaves, chili powder, oats, quinoa and lentils, and 12 cups (3 quarts) water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook covered for 1 hour. Add all remaining ingredients and cook 10 more minutes. Adjust texture and seasonings. Serve alone or with the usual garnishes: white or brown rice, guacamole (recipe follows), or corn chips. Makes a dozen ample servings.

Hi Levana,
I do not see lentils in the ingredient list. Is it suppose to be '1 cup steel-cut oats 1 cup quinoa, thoroughly rinsed and strained 1 cup short grain brown rice or barley' PLUS 1 cup lentils or are the lentils instead of the rice? Also, do you think this can be served instead of a cholent for Shabbat? How would ou go about that?
Thank you very, very much for all the delicious recipes.↓

Hi Levana,
I have your book "The Whole Foods Kosher Kitchen" and was going to make the Oat Quinoa Turkey Chili recipe for Shabbat. But in the book (and online) it says to add sugar, but no where on the ingredient list does it mention sugar. Should I add anyway? And how much?
Thank you!

Oh yeah, that's that lady I went to the alter with, and the little one who came out a few years later. They'll understand perfectly when I explain that I 've found a new family in the Fable world :D - by NotNormal23224
|SWEET!!! (9:21am EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
I have been tracking this game since its first announcement. I cannot wait to pick this game up. I well seldom if ever pay full price for a game, however this game is the absoulte exception.

|Oh look the troll is back…. (9:25am EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
The troll "XploitMan n VirusBoy" is back and once again with nothing intelligent, or even remotely true to contribute. Awww, it so much fun to look into those big black eyes and hideous face that crave so much negative attension that a console flame war will bring. Everyone say hello to the troll, don't get to close now he might bite. - by NotNormal23224

You bitch like a woman. And you smell like a dirty Frenchman. Are you French? - by XploitMan n VirusBoy
|Nope (9:46am EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
I'm American, and guess what, I don't have to lie about things (Xbox dead, funny still carried in all stores and still being manufactured, I thought dead meant off stores shevles and discontinued). It's obvious you can't afford all the consoles and a PC like me , to enjoy what all of the platforms have to offer so you have to resort to baseless lies in order to feel good about yourself. :) By the way have fun in that fantasy world that you live in where you can smell things over the internet, obviously it's time to clean your apartment/house/hole in the ground, if you start to smell folks over the wires. - by NotNormal23224
|Fable Screenshots (9:47am EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
Gotta love those ever degenerating Fable screenshots year after year.
Just like they are having to do with Doom, they have to keep ramping down the gfx just make it work on the crappy xbox hardware.
xbox == Toys R Us peecee
- by XploitMan n VirusBoy
|RE: XploitMan n VirusBoy (9:56am EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
What other video game system can you buy for 150 bucks, and still be able to buy excellent games for?. The graphics on the XBOX of course you know are much superior to the other consoles on the market. Of course they have to down the graphics for DOOM III. But you also need a 2000$ copmuter to play DOOM III in all its glory. Yet I can buy an XBOX for 150 bucks and still get a great experience playing DOOM III.
If you do not like it, don't play it. - by boywonder

Hey XploitMan, have you finished your PHD thesis yet? With all of the incredible insight that you have added on this site I figured you must be some kind of genius? Lets recap a few great moments…

I have told you before to stay out of the library, son!
I apologize, geek.com, for the idiocity of my son. We live in a van under the old Route 4 overpass and sometimes he slips from my arms early in the morning and runs to the library to live out his fantasy's with porn and psuedo-intelligence. I keep telling him that he has all the porn he needs in our little van — mama's got all the goods.
Again, my apologies, I will have the library security ban him from entering the premises anymore. - by XploitMan's Mother

I'm waiting for the new Zelda on the Cube. - by ming
|RE: ming (11:55am EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
Yea, the new Zelda does look cool. However
Fable looks to be an awesome game also. Have you read what Fable is all about? You should look it up you may end up enjoying it. - by boywonder
|this could the title… (2:20pm EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
..to turn me back into rpgs….
fed up with japanime, turnbased, googley eyed characters in ridiculous, overmilked story lines.
judging from the things you can do in this game, it should be pretty amazing.
judging from the current success of the xbox library, this has a lot of potential. - by me.
|No No No (4:07pm EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
legend of Zelda will be better. Its gonna have more linear gameplay then Fable – who whats to go anywhere and do anything in an RPG?
No RPG character can top that little green fem!
by the way my cube has a carry strap and accessorizable colors….perfect for my Fem lifestyle - by stop the BS

Yes people don't put your hopes so high. Cause the higher you go, the farther you fall down.
Look up in the sky, it's Septaman. - by Septaman
|What? (11:18pm EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
How can it be the most talked about game? Maybe between the 2 reviewers and or PR reps at the watercooler, but the rest of the world doesn't seem to care much. - by Led the Zep
|Key word is "one" (11:37pm EST Thu Aug 26 2004)
Brian said, "Fable is likely one of Xbox's most talked-about titles." which is one of the many talk about "too much advertising hype but fall short" games. Plus don't ever listen to Gamespot review. It's bullcrap, always listen to people who really played it.
I could say One of the most talk about games in Xbox is HL2, Doom 3… Kotor II - by Septaman
|poor Septaman (10:41am EST Fri Aug 27 2004)
..mommy bought him a ps2.
bitter little fella. now, run along and play…

|Serial Killer (7:21pm EST Fri Aug 27 2004)
I am definitely gonna be a serial killer when I get fable.
- by LoganDurgen
|Let's keep are fingers crossed. . . (7:49pm EST Fri Aug 27 2004)
I really hope Fable does turn out to be worth all the hype it's getting. It's been in development for far too long to even be perceived as 'just ok'. The x-box could use another true killer app before halo 2 and Doom 3 come out. Plus it's been a long, long while since we've had an RPG to look forward to that truly offers something genuinely different, which if successful will definately have an impact on future RPG's. - by Morph
|Peter Moly is a filthy lying ladyboy. (2:05pm EST Sun Aug 29 2004)
He hasn't delivered on a decent game since Populous. Good at hyping so must spread his a*se cheeks for the reviewers. - by dave
|He's a cheating scumbag (4:46pm EST Sun Aug 29 2004)
I agree with Dave, Peter Molestinyou has failed to deliver a decent one since he got over his 2 week spell of constipaton, and that was a greek sailor who unclogged this filty hype merchant. I bet this 'very late' game is as much fun as an HIV+ result. - by Whodoo Voodoo
|Peter eats choccy (5:21pm EST Sun Aug 29 2004)
I personally think that this game will be no fun. I hate the art, I hate the hype, I really dont like that it's written by mates of Peter M – who needs to use his rear end to sell this pile of Stem Cell reject. - by Bald Warrior
|Fun? More fun picking scabs from a mouldy Burger. (5:33pm EST Sun Aug 29 2004)
I'd rather be eaten alive, rear-first, from a fully bearded clone of Terry Waite in an Iraq Prison than play this dead rat of an experience.

Compiled by: David A. Davis, Ronald H. Hess, and Richard B. Jones
Assisted by: Barbara Barton and Kim Bigelow
This information should be considered preliminary.
It has not been edited or checked for completeness or accuracy.
This database is available in a dBASE III+ file format (NVGEODEX.DBF) and ASCII file format (NVGEODEX.WS) on CD-ROM (L-11, $15.00). These files can also be downloaded as a zip file by clicking here.
An online searchable database (without the remarks field) is also available.
NVGEODEX is the computerized index of the materials in the Mining District Files of the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology. This database was compiled using the computer program "PC File" version 5.01. The index is complete for the items in the text files and is kept current as new materials are added. Items that have been scanned and converted to Acrobat PDF file format are live linked to the document title. Clicking on the title will download the PDF file, but many of these files are large (1 to 5 or more megabytes in size) so you should be on a high speed connection if you wish to view the scanned version of the documents. The document scanning program is ongoing.
The Mining District Files consist largely of historical and current maps, reports, articles, photographs, correspondence, databases, etc. on all aspects of mining in Nevada. These have largely been donated to the NBMG over the years from individuals, companies, and other government agencies.
The files were originally created, named, and numbered using NBMG Map 37, Metal Mining Districts of Nevada (Schilling, 1976), as an index. In this system, the files are divided alphabetically by county and then alphabetically by district name within each county. The districts are then numbered from 1 to 344. Each district has a file, and each county has a general file for things that cannot easily be included in a district file.
Map 37 has been superseded by NBMG Report 47, Mining Districts of Nevada (Tingley, 1998). Report 47 is much more complete than Map 37 and is very useful in conjunction with this database. However, it does not use the numbering system of Map 37 or this database.
NVGEODEX now uses, effective with the 2003 release of this database,
the district naming system found in Report 47. A new 8 digit unique ID
number has been assigned to each document and map in the collection.
Each entry is listed according to one of the following ten fields:
NOTES (Not listed on Web search page)
NEW_ID and DISTRICT are the number and name used for each district file. Many districts have more than one name. These other names are cross referenced in Report 47. County General Files have an three-letter alphabetical designation usually consisting of the county name's first two letters and ending in G.
MD_NO and ITEM are old index numbers which are no longer used. The items are numbered as they were received and entered, and all items on a particular mine or area in a particular district are not necessarily numbered consecutively. Item numbers preceded by an M indicate an item filed in the large map files.
TITLE is the title of the item. Many items do not have a formal title, and an informal title was created. Most formal titles are typed out in their entirety unless they are too long for the field.
COUNTY is the present name of the county the mining district is in. Some districts span more than one county and are usually included in the county containing the bulk of the district. Also, in old items, some counties did not yet exist. Examples include Clark County, which was split from Lincoln County in 1908, Mineral County, which was split from Esmeralda County in 1911, and Pershing County, which was split from Humboldt County in 1919. Also, some counties have changed names. Examples include Roop County, which became part of Washoe County in 1883, and Ormsby County, which was consolidated with and renamed Carson City in 1969.
AUTHOR, DATE, and PAGES are the author, date, and number of pages in an item. If the author and date are not known, then the field contains "unknown" or is left blank. The author(s) is usually listed by surname and then the initials of the given and middle names. The number of pages is the number of printed pages in an item. This is sometimes approximated in some large reports. The number pages has yet to be entered for some items.
P_M_C_NAME includes mine, claim, and company names.
COMMODITY includes commodities identified.
NOTES is a brief description of the item. Note: this field is only included in the DBase III+ (.dbf) version of this data base and not in the ASCII file version (.ws). The NOTES field includes general information about the item.
