Really good question because I am in the same position. I just recently submitted online disputes for those types of accounts as well. Anybody want to shed some light please?
Anyone out there??
Disputes can go through a totally automated system where chase just rote verifies.
It takes time, but at this point I would do an MOV letter to the CRA. Include the BK paperwork.
If the CRA still verifies then a 623 letter to Chase.
This has to be zero balance, IIB, dated no later than your discharge.

An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living. - As the survivors settle into their prison home something has drawn them out into the open...out of the prison...out of their sanctuary. This is a major turning point for the overall story of The Walking Dead, setting the stage for years to come. - Reprint Edition

I love the series of the walking dead and I just recently started reading the comics. When i picked the first one up in a comic store I could not stop reading. I am up to number 4 in the series and I love every moment of this comic.
By Alana 08 Jun 2013
Better than the TV show.
I think this volume is where it starts to get messy, in a good way. Although that's not to say i have enjoyed and devoured the previous ones.
Enticing, read it in 1 sitting.
Looking forward to the next :)

Apocalypse stories usually follow a predictable path. Deal with your surroundings. Sort your internal problems. Find another group of survivors. Is that other group a happy, well balanced team of people? Well you know how the stories go don't you. Whilst is might be seen as a predictable or even disappointing development, broadening the world of our protagonists is a necessary step to keep the story fresh and interesting. There is a nice twist at the end showing Kirkman isn't getting lazy and still has plenty of rabbits up his sleeve.
The art too pulls some tricks out of the bag. The panels get shaken up and its quite surprising what a little shift in geometry can do to keep the reader on their toes. You think you know what is going on but do you really? Is Kirkman setting us up for a fall or is he trying to give Garth Ennis a run for his money in the gross-out stakes. This is still a Thumbs Up title.

Opposition grows to proposed Cape Elizabeth town center changes
CAPE ELIZABETH — In a sign of opposition to the Town Center Plan draft, more than 150 people have signed a petition protesting a proposed zoning amendment that would relax the town's wetland regulations.
The proposed amendment would make it easier for developers to build on and around wetlands categorized as Resource Protection 2, but only in the town center and only in instances that would lead to "substantial public benefit."
It was drafted by the ad hoc Town Center Planning Committee as part of an update of the 1993 Town Center Plan. The committee conceded it doesn't know how many RP2 wetlands exist in the town center; Town Planner Maureen O'Meara said it would cost "big bucks" to find out.
"When I joined this committee, I thought we were going to do something that reflected town values – connectivity, schools, open space," said Mary Townsend, a town center resident and former School Board chairwoman who resigned from the committee last year. "Never did I dream that this committee would try to pass an ordinance change that allows complete alteration of a wetland."
The online petition was created this month by Shore Acres residents Sheila Mayberry and Connie Pacillo, under the name Cape Elizabeth Environmental Coalition. It is addressed to the town planner, town manager and Town Council, and discourages changes to the town's wetland protection ordinances and alteration to wetlands in the town center.
"A great part of Cape Elizabeth's appeal is the undeveloped spaces," reads one online comment, attributed to Joe Gajda, of Cape Elizabeth, on the petition. "In no way do I support changes to encourage development in the town center."
At press time there were comments from 20 other residents expressing similar sentiments.
The proposed amendment is linked to another recommendation in the new Town Center Plan draft.
A representative for Peter Haffenreffer, owner of the 4.5-acre lot between Town Hall and the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust, in February pitched the town center committee a concept plan for the lot that includes four commercial buildings and a one-acre village green, which would be deeded to the town. The committee has endorsed the concept plan, which would require removing hundreds of trees and filling a 3,500-square-foot RP2 wetland.
Public opposition to the concept plan has been strong. Assurances from the town center committee – that Haffenreffer could likely develop the land without an ordinance change and without offering the town a village green, and that a 1997 development proposal was less environmentally friendly – have done little to mollify growing resentment.
"It concerns me that someone is offering their land to the town for development and that we may be changing our restrictions in the town center to accommodate the landowner," Suzanne McGinn, a member of the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust Advisory Council, said at last week's town center meeting. "I think it sends the wrong message to the greater community that someone can come in and offer the town something 'for free' and we'll make it easier for them."
The wetland amendment and village green proposal are just the most contentious elements of the Town Center Plan draft. A recommendation to make the town center a tax increment finance district has also drawn the ire of residents who would like town center tax dollars to be available for the benefit of Cape Elizabeth's schools, library and other municipal facilities.
Some residents believe the Town Center Planning Committee was a misguided effort from the start. They feel the comments at an October public forum, which were largely opposed to major development in the town center, were disregarded or misconstrued.
Others took issue with the makeup of the committee, which included several individuals with business interests in the town center – notably contractor/developer Skip Murray and Town Councilor Jamie Wagner, who owns a coffee shop on Ocean House Road.
And some residents saw the committee's process as symptomatic of a larger rift between Town Hall and the citizenry, with the town pushing a pro-development agenda at odds with the will of the community.
"I'm concerned our town government is becoming hostile to the citizens they were elected and hired to represent," former council Chairwoman Sara Lennon said. "Councilors and staff should be listening and creating policy based on majority opinion, not arguing with their constituents."
The Town Council on June 9 will vote to receive the report. It will then likely workshop the plan, and send it the Planning Board and perhaps the Ordinance Committee for further review, before determining whether to enact it in part or in full, Council Chairwoman Jessica Sullivan said.
Last week, as the Town Center Planning Committee's final meeting drew to a close, Chairwoman Stephanie Carver said it had been a "good process."
She added, "I think we all signed up not realizing what we were getting into."

|Electronic Drums All about Electronic Drums

Pad Size - How much of an impact?
Okay ... forgive me ... completely completely completely new to the drumming world.
Oh ... just to let you know, I am completely new to the drumming world.
A little background. I am a father of 5 kids, my older two 10 and 11 have been playing piano now for about 5 years. My mother had a late 90's Yamaha Clavinova digital piano that I hijacked and used for the first 3 or 4 years. Actually, I still use it. My oldest however started playing songs where the notes needed to be held for several measures (8+ beats) that my older Clavinova simply could not hold. So our piano teacher said we need a new piano. To her shock ... I purchased another new 2009/10 CLP-340 (I think) Clavinova.
Now ... I am a fan of the digital pianos simply due to the fact that my kids can plug in their head phones, and I don't hear a thing. My younger kids can nap, and family life can in short resume without the piano drowning everything else out. Surprisingly even with the headphones on, the piano can still be heard as those kids can still pound and thump on those keys and foot pedals depending on how expressive the song may be.
However, after trying the 340 out, the piano teacher could not praise it enough. One day, I may eventually have to bite the bullet and get an acoustic piano ... for now though, I am totally fine with the digital.
I now have a child getting into drums. Right now he is in the "trial" phase and just has a drum pad to master his accuracy and hand positioning. His birthday is in a few months, so assuming the "trial" phase works out, I will be purchasing a drum kit. As mentioned above, I am a fan of the "electronic" versions because I can still have a "quiet" home at the end of the day.
For better or for worse, I have always ended up back to the Yamaha "brand" and so I am looking at the DTX series. I have noticed the Roland TD-4/11/15 kits too and are sitting around my price range. My impression though that I have been able to Google is that folks seem to feel that the new Yamaha pads are more "realistic" (versus the Roland being too bouncy) and the Yamaha in general sounds better than the Roland (real sound samples versus modeled). I get this is a personal taste thing too.
Finally my question:
Some models DTX535 for example offer the 10 inch pad. Others, like the DTX560, offer the 8 inch pads.
What does that two inches get me?
My apologies for the long post. Any other tips and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your patience.
Re: Pad Size - How much of an impact?
two inch larger playing surface...how's that for an answer...seriously though, both pads I believe are three zone, so no difference there...I believe the 10" pad has a knob control on the top of pad...so that's a bonus..other than that pretty equal IMO..
there is the cool factor...a 10" probably looks cooler than an 8" pad...there ya go...
Re: Pad Size - How much of an impact?
Should have maybe rewording that question a bit ;)
Okay ... that is was I was hoping. Yes, I believe both are 3 zone, other then obviously the zones on the 10 inch would be larger and hence a bit more forgiving for a beginner I suppose.

Re: Pad Size - How much of an impact?
As far as the Roland kits being too bouncy, you can easily adjust the pad tension using the lugs position around the pad, so that shouldn't be much of an issue, unless you are just buying a rubber pad kit, which I wouldn't recommend.
Re: Pad Size - How much of an impact?
Sorry for hijacking the original post... but does anyone know the if there is a size diff in pads between the Yamaha DTXplorer & Yamaha DTX500 ?
Re: Pad Size - How much of an impact?
Yamaha DTX drums, DTX700 module, DXR12 sound.
Re: Pad Size - How much of an impact?
Awesome feedback folks. Thank you very much.
A follow up question.
Going to Kraft Music ... they have videos of the Yamaha guy playing a DTX560K and a DTX700K.
In the 700 video he talks about the cymbals and how you can "mute" them. Essentially pinch it with your fingers and the sound stops. He does not mention that in the 560 video.
Also, in the 700 video he demos the 10 inch snare and how you can dynamically change the sound with the turning knob it has on the side. *I assume if you have that same pad on the 500 module, the same functionality would exist?
Does the module (500, 700, 900) limit what an individual item in the kit can do? For example, as in the 700 video, mute is allowed, but if I had the same on the 500 module, would mute still be allowed? I am thinking yes.
From what I can tell the main differences between the modules (500 vs 700 vs 900) are: more sounds, more memory, sampling, effects. The instruments themselves and how they behave however are NOT impacted across modules. Am I right?
Feedback here would be great.
So I think I figured out the cymbal question as in reading the descriptions on the 500 series, it states the muting feature.
So I think it is pretty safe to assume that a given module does not limit a pad's or cymbal's functionality.

Re: Pad Size - How much of an impact?
The DTX700K kit really tempts me. I am looking at $2.5K (+-) that I am not sure I want to drop though. Thanks for all of the tips and suggestions.
Re: Pad Size - How much of an impact?
The DTX 500 does support the 3 voices on the cymbals ... but does NOT support the "mute technique". You need to jump up the 700 for that.
This PDF is quite enlightening.
Essentially the 500 has 3 three voice inputs. The 3 toms and the kick are dual mono. The HiHat is 2.
The 700 has 9 three voice inputs, with the dual mono kick.
The 900 has 13 three voice inputs with the dual mono kick.
I don't know ... maybe I am reading things wrong, but you seem to get the most bang for your buck with the 700 module.

Editorial: Make preparations now before spring storms come
As the bad weather that rolled through Wednesday morning demonstrated, danger can come quickly to East Tennessee.
The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency and National Weather Service are trying to drive that point home this week with their Tennessee Severe Weather Awareness Week.
Planning and preparing for severe weather are the primary goals of the knowledge-boosting effort that began Feb. 16 and continues through Feb. 23.
"We've already experienced multiple rounds of severe winter weather in Tennessee and all indications are we may have an active spring," TEMA Director James Bassham said in a press release from his group. "We can't wait until the tornado is upon us to think about how we protect ourselves from it. We have to prepare now."
Though storms have played havoc across Tennessee several times in the past few years, it's all too easy to fall back on old thinking that "It'll never happen to me."
Just three years ago, during the horrible night of storms that devastated parts of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, an F4 tornado touched down in a somewhat remote part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and left a 17-mile swath of damage.
Though scarcely discussed, the twister, which temporarily closed 50 miles of trails in the park, could have been a catastrophe had it touched ground a few miles further in another direction.
This year also commemorates the 40th anniversary of the worst tornado outbreak in U.S. history, according to TEMA.
On April 3 and April 4, 1974, 148 twisters touched down in 13 states, leaving 330 dead and 5,848 injured, the group said.
In Tennessee alone, 50 people died as 28 tornadoes blew through 19 counties in Middle and East Tennessee. Much of the business section of Etowah was destroyed and there was considerable damage in or near other communities, including Maryville.
Now is the time to be sure your family or business is prepared in the event of such an outbreak.
Visit the National Weather Service's StormReady website, www.nws.noaa.gov/stormready/, for tips and instructions on how to help stay safe through the rough weather ahead.

Songo'o, who recently left Major League Soccer side Sporting Kansas City, has signed a two-year deal at Ewood Park, and Bowyer believes he will become a fans favourite.
Bowyer told the club's website: "Yann has bags of energy and is full of confidence.
"He's a no-nonsense defender, he's a winner, he just wants to improve and he's a great lad. The fans will enjoy watching him play.
"He's only 21, he is going to have to get used to the pace of the English game, he's been playing out in the MLS, but he's acquitted himself very well over the period of time that he has been here with us.
"We are delighted that he has crossed the line and signed, we are just waiting on his clearance now."

The Ravens are considering hiring Bobby Engram for their vacant wide receivers coach position, according to the Baltimore Sun. Engram has been the wide receivers coach for the University of Pittsburgh the past two seasons.
Engram would replace former wide receivers coach Jim Hostler, who is now a senior offensive assistant with the Bills. Hostler left the Ravens staff last month, after he was a candidate to be offensive coordinator but lost out to Gary Kubiak.
Engram has been on the staff at Pittsburgh the past two seasons. He has NFL experience, as a wide receiver for 14 years with the Bears, Seahawks, and Chiefs. He was also an offensive assistant with the 49ers in 2011. During his career, Engram caught 650 passes for 7,751 yards and 35 touchdowns.

A tutorial or diagnostic aid based on the representation and iterative interpretation of visual images is taught. A teaching or diagnostic session is created by overlaying an interpretation layer via a software application onto the visual image layer and synchronizing the two with the time code of the visual image. The interpretation layer allows the reviewer to identify image areas of interest by gesture and append comments thereto in real time; i.e. images or portions of images within the visual representation playback may be identified and labeled and have the concurrent commentary associated therewith. The comments are indexed and linked to a database of similar topics. The flow of the session is recorded to show the images, deictic gestures associated therewith, and commentary associated with the gestures, to enable subsequent users to playback a session and follow the flow of thought (i.e. image identification and commentary within the original session). Iterative sessions allow additional image identification and commentary to be accomplished. Additional database access through the index may further enhance a teaching session, or provide for research sessions and report generation.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a teaching or diagnostic aid and/or knowledge recording system whereby images or portions of images may be selected, and labeled, and concurrent image-specific commentary applied to the visual image to create a teaching session which is indexable for later study, creation of further sessions, or research.
2. Description of the Related Art
In the diagnostic or teaching environment, such as a hospital or a medical school, great technological changes have taken place in terms of information storage, imaging, recording, and display technology. Yet the way in which knowledge is passed on has changed little. Data, or case, interpreters and learners meet in small groups and discuss individual case studies with a teacher or each other, to share knowledge and gain experience. When such sessions take place, the experiential knowledge is shared in informal and sometimes haphazard ways and only through a large number of repeated sessions is the individual's knowledge increased. Especially where the case study is in motion, e.g., a video presentation of biological events occurring in sequence over a time line, the record of such a teaching or diagnostic session is hard to establish with sufficient clarity in order to allow future users the benefit of a review of the session.
Particularly in the field of internal medicine, imaging technology has revolutionized our understanding of abnormalities in biological and neurological systems. Fast changing technological improvements, impacting the quality of the images, make it even more difficult to compare cases and build an understanding of what the normal state is. The processes for combining data interpretation, documentation and retrieval are currently inefficient or lead to a high degree of abstraction in the diagnostic record. Despite all efforts in automated image recognition, the human brain remains the best system for pattern recognition. Therefore, it would be desirable to match an image data base with appropriate indexing to the diagnostic abilities of the human data interpreter.
By way of illustration, in the medical field, a cardiologist may review live or recorded echocardiograms with medical students on a video screen in an informal session as need or opportunity arises. Deictic gestures will usually include pointing to particular areas of the screen as the cardiac events happen in time. A commentary about the image will accompany each gesture. However, when the session ends the externalized knowledge expressed in gestures and accompanying commentary during the session is largely unrecorded and unavailable for future use. All that is left is fingerprints on the screen.
Known diagnostic systems utilizing video recording and commentary are largely concerned with the image recording and display of the biological events to further automate diagnosis of the event and location of problem areas. Systems such as detailed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,619,995 to Lobodzinski or in U.S. Pat. No. 5,235,510 to Yamada et al. are sophisticated tools of medical practice but do not appear to disclose critical aspects of a teaching, or interactive interpretation, system suitable for every day use in a real world, informal, teaching hospital environment.
What is needed in such environments, and many other informal teaching or diagnostic environments, is a system whereby all aspects of a teaching, or diagnostic, session occurring around an in-motion event, including gestures and commentaries of the students and teachers, may be recorded in time-synchronized fashion to capture the knowledge expressed during the session for later use. It is desirable that such a system be easily learned and usable without special techniques. It is also desirable that the system be utilizable with a variety of video formats so as to be applicable to past and present recorded image data formats. It is further desirable that the knowledge expressed be cataloged, or indexed, for convenient retrieval and for comparison to contrasting, or similar, case studies to further heighten the efficiency of learning and sharing of experiential knowledge.
"Frame" or "full frame" refers to an image covering the entire display screen.
"Inserted frame" refers to a full image displayed as a smaller portion inserted into the full frame analogous to a "window" or "picture in picture".
"Subframe" refers to a portion of a fill image as selected by the viewer.
"Concurrent commentary" refers to comments made at the time of, or relating to, the subframe image selection.
The present invention teaches method and apparatus for recording experiential knowledge desirably including playback of in-motion events (video), the recording of deictic gestures linked to particular images in the video, and the linking of commentary accompanying the deictic gestures, with the video images. The commentaries may then be indexed for easy retrieval and for cross-reference to images bearing on a similar topic.
In general the present invention is accomplished by overlaying an interpretation layer on the video, or image layer, to record the deictic gestures of a viewer in time and location synchronization with the video, through a software application. The interpretation layer will also record comments and associate the comments with the gestures. Put in other words, the interpretation layer will create a gesture map and comment map overlaid on the video sequence with all three being synchronized to the video, whether by time code, frame and line code, or other image identifier accompanying the video. The present invention is most efficacious with in-motion images but may work equally well with a series of static images as the image layer.
Deictic gestures may be registered by any suitable means such as mouse operated cursor, a touch screen mechanism, light pen, or other means, now known or later developed, as dictated by the functional and economic considerations of the builder or user. Commentary may be continuously recorded and coded with the video and gestures, or the act of recording a gesture may open a window for comment specific to the gesture. Commentary may be entered vocally, through a keyboard, or through a menu of comment options, or any other means suitable to the application. The video may be paused, or looped between certain frames, to more easily accommodate the user in placing more than one gesture tag in a frame. The gestures and indexed commentary may be labeled a "session" and will be indexed appropriately. Later sessions having additional gestures and commentary may be built upon a previous session.
By replaying the session, a later viewer is privy to the deictic gestures and accompanying comments of previous viewers thereby gaining a much more thorough understanding of the experiential knowledge, or areas of question, or both, expressed by the prior viewers. By linking through the index, the viewer may access any number of data bases to enhance their appreciation of the subject matter of the present session, further enhancing the value of the educational experience.
FIGS. 1A-1D and 2A-2C illustrate teaching or diagnostic sessions of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of an apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 illustrates a video frame from a teaching session with tagged, or selected and labeled, subframes and their associated commentary.
FIG. 5 illustrates a frame from a decision-support session where images of comparable cases are displayed simultaneously with the case under study.
FIG. 6 illustrates a frame from a research session where images from multiple cases are recalled by index topics from a data base.
A preferred embodiment will be described in the context of a medical teaching or diagnostic (hereinafter simply referred to as "teaching") aid for the recording of echocardiogram review sessions. The ordinarily skilled artisan will appreciate that the present invention is applicable to teaching or review sessions in many other fields such as criminology, history, or the like, and should not be taken as limited to the discussed context, which is set forth by way of example only.
Referencing FIGS. 1A-1D, a brief portion of a teaching session is shown to illustrate some principles of the present invention. A full motion video event (hereinafter referred to simply as "video"), such as an echocardiogram, is understood to be occurring on a monitoring system. An image of interest to the image interpreter, e.g. a teacher or diagnostician, occurs on the echocardiogram in FIG. 1A. The teacher points to the image, and deictically gestures by touching at ref. no. 13 a particular area of the image designated here as a "subframe" 15 (FIG. 1B). The touch is sensed by a touch screen mechanism as known in the art and a preselected area, or an area defined by the gesture, is highlighted. The motion of the video can be paused or looped if desired. A comment window 17 is then opened in association with the selected, and concurrently labeled or "tagged", subframe, allowing comment text 19 to be entered concerning the selected subframe 15. If desired, the subframe 15 may be enlarged for further scrutiny, additional emphasis, or the like, as at FIG. 1D. Motion of the echocardiogram video is then resumed, if it has been stopped, after comment has been entered under a command from the teacher. Each deictic gesture and synonymously labeled commentary are recorded in synchronization with the video for later use.
FIGS. 2A-2C illustrate playback of the first session illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1D, and the ability of the system to add additional comments to a previously tagged subframe, or add additional subframes and comments, thereby creating another session. In FIG. 2A the replay of the recorded first session is started, showing the image 11. At FIG. 2B the first subframe 15 and its associated comment has appeared indicating to the viewer the objects of interest and commentary therein. At this point the subframe 15 may again be selected by deictic touch, as at ref. no. 21, and additional commentary added as at ref. no. 23 (FIG. 2C). Also, additional subframes, e.g., 25, may be selected with attendant comment windows 27 and comment entry. All new gestures and commentary are recorded and desirably labeled as a separate session. All commentary will desirably be indexed to aid in educational pursuit, or other decision making processes, as further explained below.
Referencing FIG. 3, exemplary apparatus for accomplishing sessions according to the present invention will include a computer 29 for control of the video and session maintenance; a display means 31, e.g., a monitor with a CRT 33 and a speaker 35, linked to the computer 29; and deictic gesture producing or capturing apparatus such as touch screen apparatus 37, a mouse 39, or keyboard 41, all linked to the computer 29. Also, comment entry apparatus such as a microphone 43 or the keyboard 41 are necessary. The mouse 39 may also be used to enter commentary from preselected menus if the semantics of the discipline for which the teaching is intended allows for same.
The computer 29 will include systems for video processing 45; the interpretation layer application 47 for operation and maintenance of the sessions; data storage 49, such as ROM, disks, or the like; an indexing application 51 for the indexing of commentary or images selected within a session; and a database and attendant applications 53 for management of broader teaching functions, such as comparing sessions or searching images, as used to supplement individual sessions. The specific construction of hardware and software applications necessary to practice the teachings of the present invention are considered to be within the skill of the person having ordinary skill in the art and therefore such specifics are left to the discretion of the individual artisan. An antenna 55 is shown to schematically indicate that sessions may be remotely sent, accessed, or shared by distance-learning techniques now known or later developed, to facilitate remote collaborative data interpretation sessions. The present invention may also include communication ports for interfacing with various networked data and/or image management systems if desired.
As indicated in FIG. 3, the video processor 45 will accept input from a variety of sources 57 of live or recorded video sources, including those transmitted from remote sources, and will time code 59 or otherwise quantify the video layer as necessary. Video may be reformatted, digitized, or the like within the scope of the present invention. The video layer time code 59 is shared with the interpretation layer 47 to synchronize the two. The interpretation layer 47, which governs gesture and comment recordation, is overlayed on the video layer as indicated schematically by separate input lines 61, 63 for video layer and interpretation, respectively. The overlay methodology is used to simplify the acceptance of multiple types of video source 57 and to protect the original video source from any data corruption. A "session" input line 65 is shown to schematically indicate capture and return of gestures and comments from the display means 31 to the computer 29.
Referencing FIG. 4, a frame from a teaching or diagnostic session is shown. The image 11 is displayed in totality as an inserted frame in one section of the video frame 12. Selected and labeled first, second and third subframe images or indications 67, 69, and 71 respectively, are overlaid by the interpretation layer on top of the video frame 12. A comment box 73 associated and labeled synonymously with the second sub-frame 69 displays the commentary created at the time the subframe 69 was selected on the image display. A concept map 75 is displayed as a series of text within the video frame 12 to the left of the image 121. The text may be highlighted to indicate current status of the image display topic if desired. The concept map 75 may also be used as a menu to select commentary to be applied to selected subframes which can then be easily indexed according to the text by a database management application for later retrieval. Also, it is possible to build or modify the concept map architecture according to user input, such as the frequency of occurrence of the linking of certain concepts, inquiries, or the like. Automated generation of reports utilizing the diagnostic findings captured by a session according to the present invention is also envisioned.
The concept map may also be used as a tool for calling up additional data associated with the image. Touch screen or cursor selection by a mouse are two exemplary methods of operating the concept map 75. The concept map 75 may also be linked to additional topics by a hierarchical tree, lattice, or semi-lattice of associated terminology for additional association, recordation, and indexing of a session. In alternative embodiments, voice recognition may be used to capture and index natural language commentary with the associated deictic gestures and labeling applied during commentary.
Further referencing FIG. 5, a video frame as used for a decision support mode of the system of the present invention is shown. The video frame 12 includes the image of interest 11 in a large format inserted frame to the right of frame 12 and displays a labeled subframe 15 and its associated comment window 17 as overlaid on the video image layer by the interpretation layer. To the left of the large format inserted frame image 11 are displayed multiple, e.g. first, second, and third, small format inserted frames 77, 79, and 81 of similar images from different sessions to be used for comparison to the image of interest in the present session to arrive at a diagnostic conclusion. The small format images are retrieved from the indexed database by keyword, image pattern recognition, or other known, or later developed means or applications. Image size selection and lay-out, such as two images occupying a split screen, may be varied at the control of the operator if desired. Recordation of additional deictic gestures and associated commentary may be added at any time to any part of the frame 12 by the interpretation layer.
Referencing FIG. 6, a video frame as used in a pattern finding or research session mode of the system of the present invention is shown. Within the video frame 12, first through sixth multiple small format images from sessions of similar cases 83, 85, 87, 89, 91, and 93, respectively, are displayed. The sessions will have been retrieved from the index database at the command of the operator. An overlay by the interpretation layer has placed a concept map text box 95, showing a semi-lattice of associated concepts, and an associated query text box 97, from the indexing protocol at the disposal of the operator to aid in the research function. Again all deictic gestures and associated comments may be entered and recorded by the interpretation layer during this mode of operation. Additional analytic applications such as statistical analysis programs, automated report production, or the like may be linked to the research session mode if desired.
Having thus described a teaching system for the utilization of full motion video which captures the flow of thought and expression from live teaching sessions and indexes the same for increased dissemination and utilization of the knowledge expressed; it will be appreciated that many variations thereon will occur to the artisan upon an understanding of the present invention, which is therefore to be limited only by the appended claims.

Previous review summarized it well but I think that the fish (salmon and tuna) was tasting really fishy (not so fresh). I advise doing a pick up at Marumi (Greenwich Village) or Blue Ribbon Sushi (Soho / pricey)
Posted by Jason on 04/30/2014
Delivery is fast and nice. Food is ok but considering the other choices in Nolita it's by far the BEST option! Bonus: not expensive
Posted by Ron on 06/24/2012
For lunch I had pork katsudon, shrimp tempura appetizer & a futomaki roll. I do admit the lunch fare was cheap but the katsudon was a dissatisfying due to the poor quality of preparedness of said entree which I consider very easy to make. I've eaten this dish a number of times from numerous Japanese restaurants throughout the U.S. including Japan since the 80's but must give them an unfortunate two thumbs down:(

If you are looking for good sushi, here it is. Always fresh and served and prepared by nice people. I live in the neighborhood and go every sunday. Enjoy!
Posted by LDC on 12/01/2010
Not quite noticeable since the place is so small and I have been walking by this place almost everyday. Delivery is quick but take out takes forever. Ive been ordering from this spot for a couple of months now and it is still as good. Price is pretty decent but a couple of things you shouldn't order is the clear soup, anything with eel, and beef negimaki. Not worth the cost. Everything else is fine.
Posted by Mike on 07/02/2010
I have been ordering takeout from this place for almost a decade. They had a name change during this period. Best sushi in NYC for the price point in comparison to other mom & pop sushi joints. Never had an issue as their food. I enjoy their food more than overrated Nobu....
Posted by anonymous on 12/08/2009
i love the sushi from this place. i have never visited the restaurant but order delivery at least once a week. delivery is very fast and they keep your number in their system so that you don't have to tell the address over and over. the prices are cheap and they have good variety combos (sushi red & white, triple sushi, etc). the cuts of fish are generous and so soft and fresh that they almost melt in your mouth. the tuna that comes is seriously one of the deeepest reds that i have seen from sushi at this price level. definitely recommended.

Community of Influence
Betty Adams Roach '43
1969, a 30-plus-year-old Moravian alumnus and a belligerent 14-year-old
from Puerto Rico moved to Hartford,
Connecticut, with
their respective families. The older newcomer moved into an office
on the campus of Trinity College and set about his job assignment—improving
relations between the college and the economic and socially downtrodden
community surrounding the college. The youngster, living in poverty
in a nearby mostly Hispanic neighborhood, began running with a
youth gang with a bent toward violence.
The paths of these two personalities—Ivan Backer '49
and Eddie Perez—inevitably crossed, not in violence but in
creative economic and humanitarian urban planning. And today both
remain acclaimed residents of Hartford—Ivan, now retired,
but widely recognized as a skilled planner and hands-on leader
of urban revitalization, and Perez, an enormously popular twice-elected
Hispanic mayor of Hartford, who worked with Ivan on community projects
and followed him as a forceful leader of Hartford's ongoing
massive restructuring programs.
Ivan, whose family fled Czechoslovakia at the start of World War
II, had had the good fortune to land in supportive circumstances—the
Moravian educational community. First in England, at the Moravian
boys' school at Fulneck, then in the U.S., at Moravian College,
he found, as he says, "acceptance and love—a safe haven
in time of great stress during the war." It was this acceptance
that nurtured his commitment to community.
After his graduation from Moravian, Ivan was drawn to the ministry
and enrolled at Union Theological Seminary. But upon earning a
degree in divinity, he turned from a religious vocation to business
and for a decade worked as a sales executive for lighting fixture
firms in the New York City area. In 1964, however, he reversed
his career and was ordained an Episcopal priest. Assigned to two
small mission churches in Bergen County, N.J., he became a civil-rights
activist. His social activism, along with his voiced opposition
to the Vietnam War, attracted wide attention but received less
than full support from local government and some members of the
religious hierarchy.
At that point, Trinity College gave Ivan the opportunity to embark
on the career to which his embedded life values apparently had
been steering him all along. In 1969, the college recruited him
to direct its expanding community affairs program, and for over
a quarter of a century, Ivan was a key leader of urban neighborhood
revitalization in Hartford, a city which was then (and remains
today) one of the poorest metropolitan centers in the country,
afflicted by high crime, taxes, and unemployment.

Wischmeier expects to benefit from USI's uptempo style
Deck hed goes here and here and here and here and here pppp
Taylor Wischmeier no longer has to play the post on the University of Southern Indiana men's basketball team.
He didn't fit that position anyway.
"Taylor is a forward," said coach Rodney Watson during Wednesday's Basketball Media Day at the Physical Activities Center. "He's not a back-to-the-basket player. He's not at his best in the block unless the ball is reversed and he finds an opening."
But this season, there should never be a situation in which he'll have to play the post. In fact, nobody will play the post.
That's because Watson has said that USI plans to run and run and run some more.
The Screaming Eagles have added six new players who are expected to bring height, long arms, long legs and speed to the roster.
"There are no back-to-the-basket guys anymore," said Watson.
"That's fine with me," said the 6-foot-8, 225-pound Wischmeier.
Last season wasn't so fine.
Wischmeier, now a junior, began his second full season as a Screaming Eagles post player. But he was nothing like his predecessor, the muscular Mohamed Ntumba.
Wischmeier had trouble getting to the basket, and when he did his shot was either deflected or altered or he was fouled. Then, often enough, he would miss his free throws. By the end of the season, Wischmeier's playing time had dropped from the 20-30-plus minute range into the teens. He ended up averaging just 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds while shooting a mere .480 from the field and just .470 from the foul line.
This season, with teammates presumably spread out and creating more space to roam, Wischmeier probably won't have to bang inside as much.
"I've been working on my scoring one-on-one in the post, working on my 15-16-foot jumpshot and, of course, my free throws," he said.
By "in the post," he means near the basket but not strictly as a center.
"Right now, I feel I can catch the ball inside and either get a bucket or find somebody for an open shot," he said. "I've been working on a lot of jump hooks
and going up and under to counter (the physical play of opponents)."
What should help are his teammates, especially his new teammates.
Among those new to the team are 6-7, 213-pound junior Manny Ogunfolu, 6-6, 200-pound junior Orlando Rutledge and 6-9, 220-pound senior Keith DeWitt. None is a true post player. But all can run the floor and all are expected to attract enough defensive attention that opponents will have to decide which USI players they can dare to guard the least.
Also, the Eagles should have much more depth than they had the last two seasons. That will mean that Wischmeier can play more intensely while not having to play a large number of minutes.
Watson sees Wischmeier shooting more away from the basket.
"Our players tell us (the coaches) that Taylor is making shots in practice, 15-foot jumpers," said the coach. "Now the coaches have to put him in spots where he can be successful."

Its Rosie ODonnell. That dude can take up some real estate down low and take out the trash at the top of the key. Plus his/its stink alone will keep others out of the paint.
testing testing testing 123 GO CAVS !!!!
testing testing 123
The Cavs can use him down low.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WINSLOW WAS A UNDER UTILIZED STUD!! Romeo was a idiot and hes being followed by a almost as fat idiot.
Indians, 10 games back before the season started.
I gotta tell you ladies, I have a ton of stuff to do, but spending 2 hours berating delusional Cavs fans up and down is the best!! Cmon people, they are B-ball players that couldnt get a job in the real world anywhere! They dont care about Cleveland, the fans or whatever. They want money, money, and more money.
Oh, and by the way. The NBA is borrowing $175 million to prop up 15 money losing teams as we speak. The price of tickets, jerseys, caps is going up. Buy more so uneducated thugs can be richer.
Ok fellas, Im meeting up with BradGerlach, Berniecouch, JacqueSniphs, KosarsGoiter, TobyMVP, Mogreene,and the Gasman down at Cheetah in Pompano later today to discuss tonights game. Hopefully there will be a major blow out and we can have more fun blogging the day away.
Dollyrot, You my friend, are no Moose Cholak.
I feel for the Cavs fans after last nights season ending wake up call. Just like my epic cage match with George'the animal'Steele back in 72, I realized my career and season was over.
The harsh reality of the Cavs disaster last night showed a nation they are NOT title contenders. Unlike me in the famous channel 43 studio rumble, that I won.
It was a good run Cav fans. At least the season wasnt over in December. But for all intensive purpose, the Cavs will not make it out of the weak east. Brown doesnt know how to coach when the heat is on and his back is against the wall.
As Ernie Ladd once said,'dont let your meatloaf'.
Hopefully there is money in the budget for Frank to get his GED.
My insiders tell me they gave Coach Roker a chocolate milkshake IV at half time.
If im not writing contemporay christian music or doling out chowder at the soup kitchen, Im helping sports fans across the nation understand the nuances of big time sports. Her are some big time thoughts on big time sports.
1.Coach Roker must improve his clothing approach. Buying off the rack from J.C.Penneys is bush league. Heck, J.P. Snodgrass would be better than what he wears.
2.Ben Wallace is the heart and soul of the Cavs.If he was any kind of gamer, he would rub some balm on it, slap some tape on it, and get back in the game. Just like Johhny Powers did against BoBo Brazille in the 73 cage match.
3.Labron doesnt know how to win the big one.Coach Roker should make him read Pattons Bio. Or listen to Lil Waynes latest album. peace
DANNY FERRY FOR NBA MVP. He handeed the title to the Lakers by staying with Wally and Wallace. The other teams must love Ferry.
Queen James is not in the top 6 for the MVP race.
Cavs not in the top 6 teams.
Queen James has already booked his ticket to New York. Maybe next year ladies.
First time caller, long time listener, first time lover. When Im not fighting wildfires or crafting shoes for orphans, Im blogging big time sports.
Last nights fiasco can be blamed on one thing, Coach Al Roker. After doing my research, no NBA coach weighing over 400 bills has ever one a championship.
Frumpy and sloppy Coach Roker cant be saved by Armani or Dior. UNTIL COACH ROKER GETS UNDER 400 LBS., THE CAVAQUEERS WONT WIN IN THE 1ST ROUND.
Good. I bet his corporate sponsors and the networks cant be happy about this. haahaaahahahaa
This is only a story in Cleveland.None of the other sports sites are even mentioning this. Do they know if Cleveland even exists?
Trade him and hopefully he has a massive heart attack boarding the plane out of Cleveland.
Because MooseCholak cares.
CAVS are my #1 team. I love them and all that love to love them.

Robert Rodriguez Hosts SXSW Showcase
Posted: March 14, 2012
Famed indie film director Robert Rodriguez and his technology partner AMD hosted a SXSW Showcase Tuesday night at the ACL Moody Theater in Austin, Texas.
Rodriguez revealed his plans to launch a production company called Quickdraw Animation, with two feature-film projects already in the works, and announced a filmmaking contest in partnership with AMD.
Logos for his recently announced El Rey Network were also prominently on display. The new Comcast television network will be designed to be an action-packed, general entertainment network in English for Latino and general audiences that includes a mix of reality, scripted and animated series, movies, documentaries, news, music, comedy, and sports programming. The El Rey network will include programming that features Latino producers, celebrities and public figures.
Tuesday night's event was also a Latin-fused rock affair with Tito and Tarantula and Chingon taking the stage.
Rodgriguez, rocking a brand new Gretsch Electromatic guitar, performed with both bands, and even took the time to introduce each song and explain why and how he used them in his movies. Scenes from some of those films — Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn and Machete — aired on a large screen behind the bands during their performances.

The Cult Confirm 2012 Debut At SXSW
Posted: February 24, 2012
With a new album - Choice of Weapon - due out May 22, The Cult will make its 2012 concert debut at the South By Southwest Music Festival next month, headlining Austin's Auditorium Shores Stage on Saturday, March 17.
The appearance will be free and open to the public, and it starts at 8 p.m.
"SXSW is thrilled that The Cult is returning to play our biggest stage at Auditorium Shores," Festival Producer Darin Klein said in a statement. "We're excited to hear their new tunes and their classic hits. The show is free and open to the public, so everyone in Austin should get fired up for a great night of music."
Choice is The Cult's first new studio album in five years. Written by founding members Ian Astbury (vocals) and Billy Duffy (guitar), the effort has been said to reveal the band in its rawest state.
"What we do with The Cult is try and let the songs become who they are. It's like school children, you try and give them good guidance, but they're going to end up doing what they want to do. In the end, you have to just relinquish power," Duffy told Noisecreep. "You want to capture a feel and document the era when you wrote them. You don't want to overdo it, or you end up with something like 'Chinese Democracy.' You know what I mean?"
Future tour dates will be announced on The Cult's official website, but for now, fans can download the new track "Lucifer" here.

Where do you want to go or what do you want to see on this journey we call life? Some aspire to see the pyramids or to climb Mount Everest; while others want to travel out West or even jump out of an airplane.
This is often referred to as your "bucket list" — a list of places that you would like to see or go before your time here has ended. Many times these adventures are related to a like interest that you may have. I personally have a desire to go and see Jerusalem and walk where Jesus walked. We all dream differently, but each dream is just as important as the next.
For one of our dear Elders, his dream was simply to visit a Bass Pro Shop. As an avid fisherman and hunter, Willie has a wide knowledge of the outdoors, every kind of bait to hook a fish, and just a general knowledge of an outdoorsman. Willie has gotten up in his years and didn't think this dream would ever become a reality.
Thanks to the insight and keen observance of our maintenance director, Donnie Cole, he recently observed Willie's desire to visit such a place. Donnie went and picked Willie up from his trip to Myrtle Beach last year and the place of meeting was the parking lot of the Bass Pro Shop in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Willie marveled at this large store that simply stated Outdoor World on the outside. After asking Donnie about this place, Willie began to express his desire to go and see what this store had to offer.
After some planning, Donnie and I were blessed to partake in a simple but great adventure. Willie enjoyed virtual hunting, observing the great fish that were on the walls, a good meal from Uncle Buck's, and of course more fishing lures than you could shake a pole at. Willie was like a kid at Disney World with his eyes filled with amazement and appreciation. Willie stated, "boys if they make it for fishing, they got it here somewhere." Even the trip there and back was a blessing as Willie shared many of his childhood memories and tales of his storied life. A bond was built between us three that has drawn us closer together.
Now we plan to take Willie, and possibly some others out fishing at the local lake in the next couple weeks. Sometimes when you seek to bless others, you are the one that ends up receiving the blessing.

Fulham go into Sunday's game against Everton at Craven Cottage bottom of the table with a margin of four points between them and safety.
It is the first of four home games for Fulham that could go a long way to establishing their top-flight survival, with Norwich, Hull City and Crystal Palace still due to visit the Cottage.
Despite the dire situation, Magath - who replaced Rene Meulensteen on February 14 - is confident the west London club will stay up.
"This job is not tougher than I expected it to be," he said. "I knew that it would be a difficult job and it is.
"But I don't worry about that, I'm happy to be here. I'm looking forward and I'm convinced we'll stay in the league.
"I'm not looking at next season because we have to realise that we may not be staying in the Premier League, but I'm convinced that we will.
"I'm sure I will still be here, wherever the club is. I'm happy here and want to stay."
Magath feels the game against Everton will be the most difficult home match his team have left to play and knows they must take maximum points from it.
The Toffees are chasing a Champions League place and head to Craven Cottage on the back of four straight wins.
"It depends how it goes but we have to win because we are a few points adrift," he said. "We need more points than the other teams at the bottom.
"Everton are in good shape, we've seen their result at Newcastle (winning 3-0). It will be our most difficult game here at Craven Cottage.
"I don't think about the other teams because we know we have to win games, otherwise we have no chance of staying in the league.
"We have to win because we are a few points adrift, so we need more points than the other teams at the bottom."
Fulham continue to be without £12m striker Kostas Mitroglou, who has yet to recover from a knee injury.
Mitroglou has made only two appearances for the Cottagers since his deadline-day signing in January, but Magath hopes he will return soon.
"Kostas is not happy about being injured, but it's a normal thing for a football player. They get injuries," he said.
"We will see if he can join us in training next week. If there is a risk we will wait longer."

Nursing Resources teams with Home Care by Black StoneWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
Nursing Resources Home Health Care of Maumee has become a subsidiary of Home Care by Black Stone and will operate as Nursing Resources by Black Stone in Northwest Ohio.
"We really needed to make this move for our company at this time. Black Stone's technological resources and knowledge of home care market shifts will greatly benefit us as we face challenges adapting to the ever-changing health care environment," said Darren Horrigan, administrator of Nursing Resources.
Nursing Resources is one of Northwest Ohio's largest providers of Medicare-covered skilled nursing, therapy services and PASSPORT-covered home care services. Black Stone is a large provider of health care services for those on Medicare and Medicaid, as well as PASSPORT patients, based in southwestern Ohio.
"Nursing Resources, as a premier provider in Northwest Ohio, is an ideal partner for Black Stone. We are honored to add them to the Black Stone family," David Tramontana, CEO of Home Care by Black Stone, stated in the announcement of the partnership.
Home Care by Black Stone is a leading provider of home-based primary care, skilled nursing care, and non-medical assisted care, which is very similar to what Nursing Resources does.
"Overall, the partnership will allow us to provide quality care more efficiently to the Northwest Ohio communities for years to come," Tramontana stated.
Horrigan said the local operation serves 450 patients in Northwest Ohio and continues to grow.
The firm serves much of the region from its Maumee headquarters, including Toledo, Bowling Green and Wauseon. Its branch in Fremont serves patients in that community, as well as the Sandusky and Tiffin areas.
"They (Black Stone) are very similar to us and we expect to learn from each other. There are no plans to change our patient care but bring many innovative resources and technology here through Black Stone," Horrigan said.
He maintained that none of their patients would experience any change in their current care or in the home care aides assigned to their cases.
Horrigan said they felt it was important to maintain the Nursing Resources brand and reputation, which is the reason for using the name Nursing Resources by Black Stone.
Nursing Resources has about 250 employees, 50 of whom are classified as full-time, according to Horrigan. They have another 75-100 working full-time hours and that same number working part-time.
"It's always a struggle to find qualified home care workers," said Horrigan, a registered nurse.
Nursing Resources was founded in 1992 and Horrigan joined the organization in 1996. Home Care by Black Stone was established in 1996 and now employs more than 1,000 nurses, therapists and home care aides.

The Use and Abuse of the Fourteenth Amendment
John Peeler: Many conservatives are now pushing to amend the Constitution to change the provision of the Fourteenth Amendment that allocates citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States.

Liberals learned in the 1970s, with the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, how hard it is to amend the Constitution; here is our chance to teach the same lesson to conservatives.
Return of the Doughfaces
Berry Craig: The Republicans of the 1850s were democratic revolutionaries. The Tea Baggers are reactionary counterrevolutionaries.

Richmond, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - Treveon Graham tallied 15 points and nine rebounds as the Virginia Commonwealth Rams outlasted the Eastern Kentucky Colonels in overtime, 71-68, at Verizon Wireless Arena.
Jequan Lewis added 13 points for VCU (7-2), while Rob Brandenberg and Melvin Johnson netted 12 points apiece. Juvonte Reddic scored just seven points but he hauled in 11 rebounds for the hosts.
For EKU (6-3), Corey Walden paced all scorers with 19 points while chipping in eight rebounds, three assists and three steals as well. Glenn Cosey put up 17 points and seven boards, while Marcus Lewis pitched in 15 points.
EKU shot a blistering 56 percent from the field in the first half, which was slightly better than VCU's 52 percent, but the Rams drained nine 3-pointers in the opening stanza and carried a 38-36 lead into the break.
The tightly-contested bout remained a one-possession contest for the majority of the second half. Trailing by a bucket with under three minutes to play, the Colonels took a 66-64 lead with 2:13 remaining following a pair of free throws by Cosey and a dunk by Lewis. The Rams tied the game with 1:04 left on a Johnson jumper, and after empty possessions by each team down the stretch, the game went to overtime.
VCU took an early lead in the extra session on a Brandenberg 3-pointer and held on to the advantage the rest of the way. EKU was just 1-of-5 from the floor in the overtime period.
VCU's bench outscored EKU's, 29-9.

The latest issue of Car Magazine has an article about new compact class BMW in the works. It's known internally as the UKL1 (Untere Kompaktklasse (lower compact class)) and is supposed to target the Audi A1 and Mercedes A-Class. It will be based off the 3rd gen Mini and is said to be coming in 3 variants — 3 door hatch, 5 door hatch, and 2 seat roadster.
Power will come from 3 and 4 cylinder engines.
