Decorating Above Your Kitchen Cabinets
Female: All right.
Male: It was fantastic. And today although I would like to be outside, we're going to actually move indoors with the little topic.
You have some space with your kitchen cabinets that you want to decorate but you just don't know how.
Female: I just went through this exact dilemma and it's a hard space to tackle. It's usually pretty short, not a lot of room to go at least upward. We received a viewer email recently on this very subject it came from Jen. She writes "I would love to have you show suggestions on how to decorate above your kitchen cupboards. I have a beautiful new house with tons of cupboards that are about a foot below the ceiling." So here is the question Jen wants to know, what do I do with that small space? Please help.
Male: We asked the Utah Designer to give her expert advice on how to turn that space into an actual focal point of the kitchen.
Female: And she actually let us tags along as she redecorated her kitchen with cabinets, so large with the ones Jen asked about take a look.
Jen: Since the area above the cabinet is only about one foot. And it takes full length of the cabinets. I wanted to show you a couple of different options of decorating ideas. So I'm going to take this down and we're going to put some other things up there.
I'm going to show you how I'm putting them up there in groups and having some natural elements.
So in a cabinet like this, what we're wanting to do is put things in groupings. So that you don't just have a lot of things lined up across the top of the cabinets. So what I'm going to show you are different grouping than within the group we have different heights. There is a different. We don't want them to be the same, same height.
So I'm going to be adding a few different things of different heights and I'm going to be trying to do odd numbers and putting in a few natural elements. We wanted to make it feel like there were groups along the way, so that it wasn't just a number of items lined up although I wanted to make it just wasn't a bunch of plant up above your cabinets but so that there was some interesting elements that came together. We had different heights going. We had groups in odd numbers. If you notice I put a few little natural elements. There were some little green balls, there were some little boxes with grass in it.
Plates are always very nice to put in a kitchen because they have a little bit of reflection so from light reflex off of it a little bit, it just fits well with the thing of the kitchen and you can take something right out of your cover and put it above the cabinet and it ties in with your kitchen.
Those few things in this kitchen help to make the cabinet above look better than they did before.
Female: Designer Angela Ingo is joining us now in the studio. Those were really great tips and that space above the cabinet, as we are mentioning it can be so tricky. Do you deal a lot of question about that particular area?
Angela: Yes, it's a big problem because it's not just a place you would just want to put anything. Often people fall back to just plants, stick plants up there. But it's always nice to figure out some other way to create a nice look above the kitchen cabinets.
Female: Because your eyes go there I mean your eyes do tend to go up.
Angela: Yeah and it ties in with what your kitchen what you are --
Male: Yeah, they're going to go that whether is nothing there or whether there something there, so either way you're going to see it. You got some more great ideas for us, you say one of the first things to do is to choose a theme for above the cabinet?
Angela: That's a nice way to do it. A lot of people will have a collection or they'll have something that sets certain color. So if you can pull things of a certain color or a certain thing. Like for example in this shot this girl, see the blue ball hanging on the wall. She got that from her mother and decided from there she wanted to start collecting blue glass. And so she got a very nice collection of blue glass and decided that's what she want above of her kitchen cabinet. And it worked out really nice.
Female: So do you suggest -- I mean sometimes that space lengthwise on the cabinet can be pretty long, are you suggesting that theme all the way across the run?
Angela: It depends on how much space you got. You know if you have a long amount of space you want to do shorter fewer things. So for example in this one, there is a -- it's a shorter space and this women had a number of -- her name was Julie I got this from her blog called The Little Red Shop. And she has a beautiful collection of cake plates and pie plates. And see all she just changed it out a little bit this time she added some red. So it showed you with some white and then a little bit of red.
So you can do a couple of different things. So you got the possibility of doing it all one color or then change it up to add a few of the colors in with it and it creates a different filed.
Female: That's kind of a clever idea where it looked like she did neutral just the white in the glass and then you -- because I got bored easily.
Angela: Add a little bit of another coast she added red. And she mixes it in and then she even change the little curtain that was above the window. It was white before and then she changed it with some floral it has some red in it some yellow in it.
Male: When the items you say are to group the items -- You sort of showed that in the picture. You sort of having a little different groupings and cluster them together, right?
Angela: Yes now, you know that we talked about this before this is a very common design principle. If you take things in groups, different heigths and you put them together they're more pleasing than if you just line them up. So say that kind of principle ties to all kinds of decorating with you and your home. So here we just took white plates, we took some green plates so the thing going on here was kind of green and white. But notice the texture of the little box we have up there, that adds some interest as well. So it's not just the all glass and it's not just --
So that we have another box on the other end and it kind of ties in.
Female: Yeah, okay here's my question on the grouping principle for this particular space above the kitchen cabinets. How do you make it so it's not stuff and start type of a field?
Angela: Well if you have a common theme going on then you want to have more in one space less than another. More on another so it's not -- you kind of just -- it's a flow that you don't wanted to all be the same. So it's not just three, three, and three. But you have more like five or seven and then you have three and --
Female: So you can place continues kind of strain of items but just the different heights, the groupings little there.
Angela: Yes. So in the moment we think with pie plates, that was more of just filling the space but it wasn't very much space to fill. It wasn't a long, so people have really long grouping I mean a really long cabinet you don't want to just fill the whole the thing too much.
But as we go along, I'll show you a couple of other possibilities of things that are not filling the space.
Female: Okay.
Male: The next one you say, loosing the natural ones because we seen some of just like the pottery or the glass. And then you would say throw in some little you know plants or green things in there so that natural things.
Angela: You know I love about doing this. I was really trying not to put a big leafy plant up there because it's so common.
Female: I feel you're not a fan.
Angela: Well you know what they're okay it's just that --
Male: It's a fall back a lot of people do it, yeah.
Angela: And it's like trying to do little something different. I add some fruit a little bit of just green, grassy kind of green rate. I added some little balls that had green on the. So they were natural elements but they were not just a box with a bunch of green items.
Male: And even your green plant there was not a traditional green plant. It's not like the typical whatever, a -- or whatever you see. It was some weird kind of odd thing that's added a little bit of infrastructure.
Angela: Yeah thou it, it gives you a little bit more of a different personality rather than just having you know green maybe up there. I think how green it maybe and add a few of things to it.
Female: How much is too much I mean you don't want a build a forest up there obviously but I mean would should every grouping has sort of measure on it or that's over done.
Angela: You don't have to have greener on it. You just want to have -- and this is kind of a personal preference a little bit here in the grouping and further on down a little bit there. It really is just kind of depends on what you have because I'm trying to help you did is what you have.
Female: Right.
Angela: So they're not going out you know pulling a few things from different places in the house that really -- if you got it and it looks good leave it there.
Female: So it's sprinkling. [Voice Overlap]
Male: I have a question about picking the right stuff because you done some great job at picking. How do you know what's going to work, what's not going to work? How do you know it's going to fit in your decorate thing?
Female: It's called to Hire your designer right.
Male: Angela, get over here.
Angela: What I'm trying to do is help people see that you can take something right out of your own cover. Just take plates right through your own covered. That's was a great --
Female: What about the reflection on the plate, I like that point that [Voice Overlap]
Angela: They have kind of a shine to them. Then you have a few other things you put up there that are -- and so for example in this women's house she had gotten a big clock as she gone to a store a design sort of look I need help above my kitchen cabinet. She brought home all this stuff. It was way too big for the space she had. So we took down and here in the corner -- okay this with her space was tall, so we just put the platter in the corner with the greenery and then over to the side we put the little metal, little ornamental metal.
Female: To stretch it out a little bit.
Angela: Now the rest of the cabinet has nothing, has nothing. So you don't have to feel like you need to fill the whole things, sometimes you can just do the corner. And then she had a cabinet over here that just had the white plates and the little ball of with green berries and the green candle.
Female: Do you go right to the ceiling, do you feel that spaces completely.
Angela: You don't have to but if you have -- this is important for if you have a lot of space that's up above your cabinet you want something that's larger in scale. If you have a lot of little things and you have all that space it feels very uncomfortable, not right. But if you have a like she have smaller cabinet and have this big clock on the small cabinet and it felt very tough heavy. So we had to take that down, we put up that little arrangement of the plates and the candle and the ball and it felt much more in relation to the cabinet.
Female: Sizes correct in space.
Angela: But then in the corner she had a much taller space and we need to do something bigger. So the platter was much larger there was just some traditional greenery in the front and then the iron of to the side and that was attached to the wall. So it wasn't necessary in front that.
Female: All right Angela great tips thank you so much. Hope we got answer to viewer question and then another questions you might have. For more great ideas and inspiration, be sure to visit Angela's blog imaginecozy.com, link it there from our website. This is great about helping you, savings of the new eye and pull things you already have to make a pleasing space and in to your house.
Male: Thanks Angela.

Comedian And Palindrome Enthusiast Demetri Martin Counts His Blessings
by David Wagner
"It's a luxury to get to do stand-up at all. If people come see me, I'm thrilled. I guess an extra luxury on top of it would be to do it when you really want to, and not have to be 55 saying, 'I've got to go to this casino and do stand-up tonight, or I can't eat.'"

solo, S-corp , or LLC???
by matthewwaites, Performer
- Created: October 6, 2009, 12:33 pm
We are a young couple wanting to open a retail cart in a mall selling a variety of items. We live in Tennessee and not sure what is the best path when it come to taxes for us. Solo, S-corps, or LLC. we don't want to be hit hard on taxes. One of us will stay employed at our job and the other run the store as our new job. Any help?

Of the many business entities that owners consider, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and Subchapter S Corporations (S-Corps) are two of the most popular. Although they share the distinction of being 'pass-through' entities in addition to providing liability protection, they do have several differences. An owner must also consider operational ease, administrative requirements, profit-sharing and employment tax implications. Before choosing one or both of these options, determine which features are most important to you and your company. The needs of every business are different so it's worth an hour or two with a knowledgeable attorney to investigate all of the issues that will affect it. You can read a break down of these entities in this Business.gov article:

#1 - always consult a local professional when dealing with services you might need. Ok , now that I've issued my disclaimer , here goes. For me , I went with a corporation , the reason for this was due to the fact that I plan on selling stock in the future. There are *some* tax benefits with holding a corporation that you can ask your accountant on. Having said this , I would say 80% of people are more than happy with a LLC , as they're pretty great to have. Never the less ,I'd make sure you go with some sort of legal protection (whether it be corp or LLC) just for liability's sake.

The main reason to have a corporation (including s-corp) over an LLC is if you are seeing investors and/or are planning to take the company public. As far as tax status goes, you can do almost everything with an LLC that you can do with a corporation. An LLC can elect to be taxed as a C-Corp or S-Corp, so there is no tax advantage to having a corporation. There are really 2 choices to make. #1 the legal entity and #2 the tax status you want.

The bigger issue, rather than taxes, is protecting you from personal liability. If you are a sole proprietor, then the liabilities of the business are your liabilities and the profit from the business is considered income for you. Therefore, if anything should happen, your personal assets could be in jeopardy. If you are an LLC, your personal assets are protected from liability. You can still choose to report your profit or loss on a Schedule C with your personal taxes. Becoming an S-corp also protects your assets, though the tax reporting requirements are a bit different.
Hays_Legal | Performer | 2/2/2010 - 1:17 pm
I think virtually everything has been covered here; but I'll go ahead and add my thoughts. Almost every business owner should have a business entity to protect the individual owner(s) from liability. Operating as a sole-proprietorship is almost always a bad idea considering the relatively small cost of setting up an LLC or corporation. If you're considering an S-corp only for its potential tax benefits, go with an LLC. With an LLC, you can elect to be taxed as an S-corp, so S-corps do not have any tax advantages that LLCs do not have. LLCs are generally simpler to set up and they allow more flexibility to the owner(s). Many people are tempted to set up the entity themselves, but you would be wise to hire an attorney or CPA set up your entity. It's not too expensive and you can be sure it's done right. Good luck!

An LLC is not a tax status. An LLC is eligible to be taxed as a sole proprietorship, a partnership if there are multiple members who are not married to each other, an S-corporation or a C-corporation. If you live in a community property state there may be little tax benefit to having S-corp tax status as long as your spouse is w-2. If you choose an LLC for liability purposes you will be taxed as a sole proprietor unless you make an election to be taxed otherwise. This may be sufficient until you see your revenues grow.

With Appalachian Power still reporting approximately 6,000 people without power in Carroll County as of 1:30 p.m. Friday, a shelter has been opened at Carroll County Intermediate School.
As of 10:19 a.m., APCo was reporting 121,000 people in the state of Virginia without power as a result of the heavy, wet snow that fell across the area Thursday. With so many people without power and heat, CCIS was opened as a shelter on Friday.
"There are so many power outages still out there and so many people without heat, we wanted to be prepared in case anybody needed somewhere to get," Carroll County Emergency Services Coordinator Mike Mock said. "But only use the shelter if you really need to. If you have other alternatives, it is better, such as staying with family members or friends. There are not really any comforts of home there at the shelter. We would encourage people to try to find ways to fend for themselves, but if they can't certainly contact us and let us know."
Carroll County Intermediate School is located at 1036 N. Main Street in Hillsville.
"We have Department of Social Services employees and Red Cross folks there that are coming in to help. Some of them are here working on their day off, but you do what you have to do," Mock said. "We felt like we needed to do it since we are getting so many calls. And I also want to let people know I appreciate Joan Isom, who has just retired from the Red Cross, yet she was the one that jumped up this morning helping us get things going."
Mock said Carroll County Emergency Services teams were busy last night dealing with a variety of issues from trees down to emergency medical calls, to vehicular accidents, and cars and trees blocking the roads. Interstate 77 was shut down last night in Carroll County and many motorists were stranded for a while, Mock said, but I-77 is back up and running today.
"Most of the accidents we were responding to were cars sliding off the road and those sorts of things," Mocl said. "We didn't really have anyone transported due to actual accidents."

Okay, before anyone says "UTMFSE", I already did and found NOTHING on the subject of tramadol and drug tests.
I didn't really think about it until recently when I am having to take tramadol for withdrawals. And I have to meet with my probation officer which I know they'll ask for a piss test because I failed the past 2 for opiates.
I was wondering if anyone knows if tramadol will cause a positive for opiates on an instant urine test. I at first thought they did, but then I thought about it and I thought maybe I can pass it for opiates.
Anyone here know for sure? I really need an answer because I gotta go tomorrow to take the test

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police said Thursday that they will no longer routinely issue news releases or offer immediate confirmation on hoax 911 calls targeting the homes of celebrities.
The announcement comes after several high-profile "swatting" incidents in recent months that have sent emergency responders to the homes of celebrities including Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher.
The move is intended to deny the publicity that motivates the prank callers.
"We're going to try to reduce and eliminate their recognition," LAPD spokesman Officer Christopher Ngo said.
The department will not immediately confirm the incidents for news organizations either, police Cmdr. Andy Smith told the Los Angeles Times. Media outlets will instead be required to file formal public records requests.
The term comes from the pranksters' desire to have heavily armed special weapons teams dispatched to their calls.
The calls, sometimes made by children, can tie up resources ranging from dispatchers, patrol officers, detectives helicopters and police dogs.
In December, police arrested a 12-year-old boy suspected of placing swatting calls at numerous homes, including Kutcher's. That call summoned many heavily-armed officers to the house, brought widespread media coverage and prompted the actor to leave the set of his TV show "Two and a Half Men."
The Beverly Hills Police Department estimated more than half of its emergency resources were occupied with the Cruise swatting call on Jan. 17.
A rash of hoaxes aimed at celebrities followed the Cruise call.

Expanded home ranges in a peripheral population: Space use by endangered Mt. Graham red squirrels
Koprowski, John L.; King, Sarah R. B.; Merrick, Melissa J. 2008. Expanded home ranges in a peripheral population: Space use by endangered Mt. Graham red squirrels. Endangered Species Research. 4: 227-232.
Peripheral populations are often of increased conservation value; however, knowledge of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of a peripheral location is poor. Spatial dynamics are often interpreted as strategies to maximize access to fitness-limiting resources. Red squirrels Tamiasciurus hudsonicus are territorial in western portions of their range and exhibit overlapping home ranges in eastern forests. Endangered Mt. Graham red squirrels T. hudsonicus grahamensis represent the southernmost extension of the species. We used radiotelemetry to assess space use and interindividual overlap of endangered Mt. Graham red squirrels. Squirrels maintained nearly exclusive 50% core areas; however, 95% ranges overlapped considerably, especially between males and females. Home ranges increased in summer for both males and females and may be related to sexspecific reproductive strategies. Ranges of Mt. Graham red squirrels in this peripheral population were nearly 10 times the size of red squirrels from other locations. The space use of this limital population suggests that resource availability may be substantially different than in other portions of the range.

WANTED: Cute DC Kids and Their Parents for White House Project
We want to hear from you as part of a volunteer-run project we hope to showcase at the White House, at the end of July.A team of civic hackers (volunteer data scientists, programmers, and parents) are working through Code for DC (http://codefordc.org/) to help DC families with understanding the school landscape. We are working with DC school officials to publish information about schools, and answer questions like: are there children enrolled in this school that live in my neighborhood? where are the children from my child's elementary school going to middle school? We will add more information, as we collect additional information about DC schools that goes beyond standardized testing performance (see a preview of the first version below).
How can you participate today? Help us make a video to get the attention of the folks at the White House, so our project can be included at a showcase. By Thursday, June 20, send us a 20-30 second video (via dropbox, to: Elena Chiriboga <elc64 at georgetown dot edu>) with you or your children (or both), capturing any of the following:
- You, in front of something recognizable in your neighborhood (like Anacostia river, Brookland Metro station, Cathedral- whatever makes sense) saying: "Where do the children in my neighborhood go to (Elementary, or Middle, or High) school?"
- You/your children in front of something recognizable in your neighborhood (like Anacostia river, Brookland Metro station, Cathedral- whatever makes sense) saying: "We live in [XXX neighborhood]!"
- You, at your child's school saying: "I love my children's elementary school, but I'm confused about where to send them to middle school"
- Your child, in front of something recognizable in your neighborhood saying: "I want to go to school where my neighborhood friends go!"
- Your child, at their school saying: "My favorite part of school is…."
- To capture the best sound quality, you have to stand reasonably close to the subject (especially since kids don't always have the loudest voice). Stand about 1-2 feet away from the subject. Try for a shot that is from the chest up. Playback the video after your first recording to make sure the sound isn't blown out or peaking. If you're far away from your subject the volume will probably playback very low and boosting it in editing software will only increase all the white noise.
- Try to limit background noise when the subject is speaking.
- Always have the light behind you.
- B-roll can be really tricky with a phone because people tend to move around the phone really quickly when recording. It's better to be still and have the objects in your frame moving than for you to be panning with your phone.
- Send along a few photos, too, which we will mix in with the video.
Open Data Day and DC Education – Open Letter to Mayor Gray by Sandra Moscoso
by Sandra Moscoso
Dear Mayor Gray –
I'm reaching out on behalf of all Washington DC families, who love living in this city and are committed to making the public education system(s) work for our children and for our communities.
Recognizing that while the DCPS and Charter school systems offer a variety of options around public education, as a city, DC has not quite managed to gain the confidence of residents nor has it been able to portray the options as good ones. As a parent navigating the public education landscape, I find it difficult to separate what the schools (and systems) want me to see from feedback I receive through my own networks. Factor in our own fears and biases, and it becomes even more difficult to see the options clearly.
While we should all be educated consumers of education, I cannot imagine that you intend for every family to have to go through extensive research each time our children hit a transition point in their academic careers (at PS/K, at Elementary, at Middle School, at High School)? Yet, as things stand, for many families, to find the right school requires research and winning the lottery. This creates a situation that further disenfranchises families who cannot afford this investment of time or who do not have access to networks that would enable them to pursue the best options for their children.
The choices exist and given success in many pockets, how to make this process more manageable? I believe this answers comes from you and commitments you have made toward transparency and your support of technology and innovation.
I am writing to challenge you to join a community of civic activists, by asking the Office of the School Superintendent of Education (OSSE) open up education data this week. Why this week? On Saturday and Sunday, DC will participate in International Open Data Day, by holding a 1 (correction) day hackathon at the World Bank. Over 260 civic hackers (technologists and activists) have signed up to volunteer their time and talents for social good.
Among the projects, there will be a local education theme. Several DC parents will attend, to share ideas on how they think education-related problems can be solved through technology. There will be experts in the problem, there will be experts in technology solutions, what we're missing is the data.
Mayor Gray, you have an incredible opportunity to connect your pledge of transparency in a way that can help leverage the talents of the tech community. To collaborate with average people committed to working with DC government in an effort to make our city (and it's services) great
Recognizing that pulling data could take time, I am asking that OSSE focus on data that has been made public via recent reports or online databases. The difference between public and open is that when the data is open, it is in it's raw format and reusable (this means no PDFs or PPT slides – excel spreadsheets at a minimum).
Below are datasets that should be easily available given the above conditions, and that do not in any way put student confidentiality at risk.
- Raw data from OSSE's statewide student mobility study – broken down to the school and grade levels (http://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/release_content/attachments/DC%20Student%20Mobility%20Study%20%28Feb%202013%29.pdf )
- DC CAS School by School Results – this is great (in xlsx), but can it be broken down to grade level?http://osse.dc.gov/release/mayor-vincent-c-gray-announces-2012-dc-cas-results
- ALL DCPS and CHARTER Lottery Results for the past 5 (or more) years, including waitlist numbers at SCHOOL and GRADE levels.
- Recognizing DCPS lottery became centralized in 2008? then as long as it is available. Recognizing that all waitlists are managed at the school level, then I realize we're not likely to get how far down waitlist schools got each year.
- All DCPS and Charter location data: Files that were used to create the following: http://www.dcpubliccharter.com/PerformanceTier.aspx and http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/
- All DCPS and Charter capacity and enrollment at SCHOOL and GRADE levels .
- All DCPS and Charter Tier level data
- All DCPS and Charter Title I schools
- All DCPS and Charter school student demographics; race, special ed for past 5 years.
- For all DCPS and Charter schools, whether they have a music teacher, art teacher and librarian, and if so, whether full or part-time and credentials.
- All DCPS and Charter teacher retention rates at the school and grade levels.
- All DCPS and Charter special programming: (Montessori, Reggio, STEM focus, Global Studies, IB, etc)
- A dataset of all children (identified as Student00000X or whatever makes sense) who have been enrolled in a charter or DCPS for the past 5 years (at least). Am guessing children can be cross-referenced by their name, address and age in order to follow them between DCPS/Charters. For each record,
- Student ID (see made up suggestion)
- School Year
- Neighborhood the student lives in (example: Adams Morgan, Capitol Hill, Hillcrest)
- School the student is enrolled in
- Grade the student is enrolled in
Getting all of the above datasets for this weekend would be optimal, but certainly some will be easier to get than others in a short timeline.
For data that cannot be made available by this weekend, it would still be great to have them, as there is a team committed to working on this on the longer term via http://codefordc.org/ (the DC chapter of Code for America).
Thank you in advance for your support of DC families and civic activists. I hope you join us over the weekend to see the amazing work that can come when average people commit to supporting their community (regardless of whether that community is a local or global one).
Sandra Moscoso
Proud DCPS parent, average person

We're going to nominate this as the picture of the year! Prince William and Kate Middleton visited Centrepoint's Camberwell Foyer yesterday, of which they're both patrons. Serious hi jinks ensued with a 18 year old Vanessa Boeteng, who lives at Centrepoint. When the Prince asked her if he, "looked dapper in his wedding suit", her answer got him to bust a move. Boateng said, "Nooooooo… Your swag was on point! He said 'swag?' Then we made up this dance. You dust your shoulders off twice." And that's the photograph you see, folks. Prince William and his swag dance, with Kate giggling at him. And you ask us why we love them?
The couple also got into aprons and made gingerbread and cookies topped with hundreds and thousands for all the residents. It was also 18 year old Tasha Barbi's birthday (she also lives at Centrepoint), and when Kate heard of the news she baked a special heart-shaped cookie for her, saying, "it's your birthday cookie!" Click after the jump for two bonus photographs of Kate — who looked fab in an olive green belted dress — and Will getting down to it in their pinafores.

Spring snow shower expected in Tri-State
HUNTINGTON -- Very little accumulation is expected during an early spring snow storm that is predicted to blow into the Tri-State on Sunday.
Clouds should start moving into the area early Sunday morning said Joe Merchant, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston, and the rain that is predicted to fall in the early afternoon will turn into snow overnight into Monday morning.
Higher altitudes in the area can expect up to one inch of precipitation, but the snowfall won't be significant enough to create any accumulation in most places, said Merchant.
He said a snow storm in the spring is not unheard of for West Virginia, but it is the exception rather than the norm.
"Well, especially relative to last March, this is a much different system than what this area is accustomed to," said Merchant. "I'd say even by normal standards snowfall this time of the year is not too common. It certainly does happen, but this is a cooler pattern than normal."

On this Disc
In common with other Cathedrals and Churches across the globe, the season of Advent and Christmas is a time when Portsmouth Cathedral welcomes large numbers of people to services or concerts.
All the music on the disc was sung at cathedral Christmas carol services in 2008 and 2009 with one exception – 'In Your image' is not strictly a Christmas carol, but it speaks of the incarnation and of humanity's relationship with God our Father through Christ His Son. The 'Advent Responsary' is often sung at the start of Advent or Christmas carol services and this version weaves the advent hymn 'Sleepers Wake' within its textures. 'Once in Royal' adorns most churches' celebrations and we use Sir David Willcock's familiar harmonies and descant madefamous by the King's College Cambridge Carol of Nine Lessons and Carols. 'Veiled in Darkness' is a haunting carol speaking of the Advent hope of Christ's Coming into the world whilst 'Let us Light a Candle' unveils the joy of the Child's birth in Bethlehem.
'Away in a Manger', here arranged by David Hill (during his time as Organist of Winchester Cathedral) continues the story of the new born babe and is followed by Estonian-born Arvo Pärt's highly stylised Hymn to the Virgin Mother. The promise of Mary, Mother of Jesus as foretold in the Old Testament is set to music by Howells with a beautiful bass solo line.
Franz Grüber's famous 'Silent Night' returns to its simple origins through Christine Gymnn's gentle setting and is followed by the more boistrous Good fresh and jaunty arrangement of 'Ding Dong merrily on high'
The recording business is very different from ten years ago. Finances and time are as ever in short supply, and we are grateful to Adrian Green and Convivium Records for undertaking this project on the minimum of recording sessions.

Do Most Chinese Internet Firms Have A Technically Illegal Corporate Structure?
- Posted by bbishop
- on September 2nd, 2011
The Financial Times reports today on a potentially problematic development for many Internet in China. In Foreign internet presence in China to face scrutiny, Kathrin Hille writes that:
Changes to China's mergers and acquisitions rules that took effect on Thursday mean internet companies in the country are set to face greater scrutiny of the vehicles they have been using for more than a decade to circumvent foreign ownership restrictions in the sector…
Under the practice, a domestic company, a so-called variable interest entity (VIE), holds the license necessary for operating a business such as running an internet search engine or an e-commerce platform in China, and the foreign-invested company secures control of that domestic business through a set of contracts instead of share ownership.
The scheme is being used by foreign internet companies such as Google ($GOOG), but also Chinese internet groups that introduced foreign shareholders through overseas listings. These include as Baidu ($BIDU), the country's largest online search engine by revenues, Sina ($SINA), the operator of China's leading microblog, Youku ($YOKU), the biggest online video company by revenues and Renren ($RENN), the biggest Facebook clone by revenues.
"As of April 2011, 42 per cent of Chinese companies listed in the US have used the VIE structure and thousands of unlisted companies continue to operate through the use of the VIE structure," said Cadwallader, the law firm, in a note to clients.
VIEs were in the news a few months ago when Jack Ma expropriated Alipay from the Alibaba Group on the grounds that for national security reasons the government would not allow foreign-backed firms, including those with a VIE, to obtain an online payments license. Ma eventually agreed to compensate Yahoo ($YHOO) and Softbank, but few believe he is paying them 100 cents on the dollar for an asset they once partly owned.
It is unlikely that the Chinese government intends a wholesale investigation or restructuring of the Internet industry, but investors should not be blind to this risk, nor should they believe arguments that the government would not dare because too many jobs would be lost. Jack Ma proved that you can you restructure the foreigners out without any job losses, and to the advantage of Chinese investors.
Foreign participation in the Internet, perhaps the last major industry in China that is not state-dominated, has come under increasing scrutiny, not just during the Alipay scandal but also in a recent article in Study Times, a publication of China's Communist Party School, that decried the amount of foreign ownership in China's Internet firms.
If there are any investigations of foreign ownership of Internet companies on national security grounds, one might be forgiven for thinking that search (Baidu) and Weibo (Sina and Tencent) are at least as important to national security as online payments are. Given that much of the foreign ownership in Chinese Internet firms is actually Chinese money offshore, and frequently very connected Chinese money, I would expect that in the unlikely event of any major restructurings there would some mechanism to take care of the important investors.
For those who want a deep dive into VIEs, I have embedded an excellent primer on the subject from the Cadwalader law firm. You can also follow this link to China Law Blog for several good articles and podcasts on the topic.

About this Artist
macka diamond
Mack Diamond Charmaine Munroe was born in Kingston and grew up in Portmore. She attended Holy Childhood High School and even then her focus was more on becoming a deejay than on her. Her father, Phillip Munroe, is a record producer who not only worked with Gregory Isaacs but who was also friendly with Sly & Robbie and King Jammy's and young Charmaine grew up surrounded by music. It was after hearing artists such as Sister Nancy (aka Mama Nancy), a female deejay trailblazer, that she decided she too was going to become a deejay. Unfortunately her mother did not share her dream but after she had emigrated to the USA the way was left open for Charmaine to head for stardom.
She asked a friend to show her where Lady Junie, another foundation female deejay, lived and she went round and introduced herself. Lady Junie was not slow to realise Charmaine's potential and she began to take her protégé around and introduce her to some of the movers in the music business.
Charmaine had decided to call herself Lady Charm but after she had made her first record, an answer version to Major Mackerel's 'Don Ban', the producer insisted it came out under the name of Lady Mackerel. Apparently Charmaine cried when she heard this but the producer was insistent and so she went along with it for she knew that her time would come and that she would eventually make it under her own terms. 'Don Girl' proved to be a hit and she went on to record for Sound System champions Stone Love, King Tubby's Kingston 11 label and in various combinations including live work and recording with Captain Barkey and Wicker Man.
She never stopped working, developing her own individual style and stage persona, and she became a stalwart and dependable feature on Kingston's dance hall scene building all the time towards her big break:
Charmaine decided that she had finally outgrown her Lady Mackerel epithet in 2003 and changed her name to Macka Diamond; along with the new name came a different, more aggressive lyrical approach. That year Vybz Kartel's massive hit 'Tek Buddy' had put forward the theory that women were after pots and pans in return for sex so Macka Diamond came straight back with the answer tune 'Tek Con'.
All Macka Diamond's hard work finally paid off in the summer of 2004 when 'Done A Ready' topped the Jamaican charts. This was the first time a female had topped the charts in four years. Her unapologetic dig at men who failed to meet the required standard touched a nerve deep down with the female audience who had grown tired of dancehall's relentless boastful machismo. Someone was telling a different side to the story: a side that was not usually mentioned in 'polite company'. It touched a nerve with some of the island's deejays too but Macka was more than able to deal with this:
Macka Diamond could never be described as an overnight sensation and her fifteen years of working non-stop in the hyped up environment of Kingston's dance hall scene could be counted as enough experience to fill any number of lifetimes. Her measured delivery and unbridled humour cut across any hint of the shrillness of "a lady who protests too much" and by giving her legions of fans exactly what they want her popularity is sure to continue to grow:
After shocking out at the Sumfest 2k4 stage show where she appeared in a dress made of laminated high denomination dollar bills and with her 'Money O' catch phrase currently on everyone's lips the future looks brighter still for Macka Diamond. After this mesmerizing performance, Macka cemented an endorsement deal with Wray & Nephew Rum cream to be their spokesperson for 2005 and it was subsequently renewed for 2006. Her long awaited debut album entitled, naturally enough, 'Money-O' delivered what had long been promised.
Macka Diamond is now set to take on the rest of the world… and if she can put the men of Jamaica in their place then she should have no problem at all in doing the same everywhere else!
We don't have any upcoming shows listed for this artist right now.

Remembering A Pioneer: Jeff Blatnick Passes At 55 Years Old | UFC NEWS
Remembering Olympic Gold Medalist and MMA Pioneer Jeff Blatnick
The MMA world lost an icon today. Jeff Blatnick — former UFC commentator, MMA judge and referee — died earlier today of complications from open-heart surgery, according to multiple sources. He was 55 years old.
To many fans, Blatnick will be remembered as a pioneer of MMA's early days, lending credibility to a sport that was fledgling at the time. He worked as a broadcast analyst and advisor in the UFC from 1994 to 2001, even helping develop the modern unified rules used in the sport today. Blatnick was an advocate for legalizing mixed martial arts competition throughout the U.S. He worked as a judge in Bellator as recently as last month.
Blatnick was a gifted wrestler who won Olympic gold in men's Greco-Roman wrestling at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic games as a super heavyweight. He may very well have taken gold at the 1980 Olympic games in Moscow as well, had the United States not boycotted the event in protest of the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
Blatnick was also a cancer survivor who overcame Hodgkin's Disease. He channeled his experiences wrestling and battling cancer into motivational speaking presentations he gave throughout his native New York and elsewhere, spreading a message of overcoming adversity. Blatnick's hometown of Niskayuna, New York, even named a park in his honor, "Jeff Blatnick Park."
Though many young fighters and MMA fans today might not be familiar with Blatnick, he was truly a class act and elder statesman of the sport. Every fighter who steps inside a cage and every fan who watches an MMA event is, in many ways, celebrating Blatnick's legacy and accomplishments. He will truly be missed.
7 Responses to "Remembering A Pioneer: Jeff Blatnick Passes At 55 Years Old | UFC NEWS"
Damn rip. He was a good commentator i havent heard anything about him in a long time, only 55 thats to young to go rip.
Blatnick will be most remembered as the man who (PURPOSELY) left out the COLLEGE and OLYMPIC "STALLING" rule" out of MMA unified rules. Blatnick did it on purpose to make sure wrestlers would always have the advantage. I guess you could say Blatnick is the GRANDFATHER OF LAY N PRAY IE: FITCHING.
There were boxing rules that were left out of the unified MMA rules to that still are still needed. First one that comes to mind is in boxing if you turn your back on your opponent and runaway then you are DQ'd. WE saw Condit do this at least 10-times in Diaz fight. We saw Edgar do it at least 6-10 times in 2nd Maynard fight after he was knocked down 6 times in one round. We have seen countless fighters do it since Kalib Starnes made it famous in Nate Quarry fight.
Shut the hell up who has complaints when someone passes you heartless dick. That's like someone saying oh yeah your mother will be most remembered by her slutty activity. Fuckin prick
Everyone knew Fitches job was on gthe line and he had one foot out the door. besides he still only won by "FITCHING" and he was almost submitted. Fitch will be back to being Fitch in his in his next fight mark my words. As far as Blatnick goes he was the one that wrote the "wrestling" side of rules that were used in MMA and it is 100% TRUE that he knew by leaving the "STALLING" rule that is used in college and all other international wrestling as wella s the Olympics that wrestlers would have a HUGE advantage and now we fans are stuck with "FITCHING" FOREVER
I wish more fights were like Fitch's fights, esepecially the last one.
Anyhow, Blatnick did a whole lot to get MMA legalized and regulated. That did save the sport from PPV censorship and arguably the corruption that was rampant in the Japanese scene. It may not look like a huge deal now, but remember that these were happening when groin shots were legal and UFC was a spectacle. He helped immensely in turning it into a spot.
Oh, Condit won that fight BTW. U mad?
Actually I was a huge Condit fan and wanted to see Diaz lose until I saw how much of a coward Condit was. Condit made mea Diaz fan. Also every MMA fighter polled said Diaz won that fight. All Condit did was land SISSY kicks and runa way so all you IDIOTS think those stupid a'ss skewed compubox numbers actually made Condit winner. Diaz would beat Condit everytime in aREAL fight without corrupt judges.
That's way too young to go. He did a lot of good for the sport. I do have to agree on what get rid of fitch said about the stalling rule though. maybe the Athletic commissions can repair the unified rules of mma by adding that rule?

Maybe you already know that "zine" is the name for a small press publication or alternative newsletter. An e-zine is usually an online magazine or an electronic version of a print magazine. E-zines represent one of the best things about the Web -- that anyone can publish online. E-zines can be independently created or they can be sponsored by major publishing companies. They can be liberal or conservative, weekly or monthly, professional or recreational.
Here's another thing to keep in mind: magazine is to journal as e-zine is to e-journal. An e-journal runs in academic circles and is more scholarly than an e-zine.
