Property and Its Limits (PROP9706)
3 credits. Seminar.
Prerequisites: Property or Property I and II.
Like all AWR seminars, this course has two goals. First, this course will examine the boundaries between the individual's rights in his or her property versus public rights with respect to that same property. When should property rights be limited or expanded for the common good? We will begin by exploring some of the major academic theories of private property, including Law & Economics, theories of property and community, and commodification theory, and proceed to the discussion of contested areas of property law. The second purpose of the seminar is to improve academic writing skills and to produce AWR papers. To that end, students will be asked to read a handbook on scholarly writing before the beginning of the semester and to pick a paper topic very early on. For instance, one might write about recent changes in the Rule Against Perpetuities, which create greater rights in private property.back to top
Estate Planning and Drafting (TAXN8115)
2 credits. Lecture.
Prerequisites: Estates and Trusts
Students will focus on the lawyer in an office practice and as counselor in the family community. Development of drafting skills will be emphasized in short drafting assignments throughout the semester. The course will cover the lawyer's ethical responsibilities, planning and drafting for wealth transfers by will and the alternatives, including gifting inter vivos, and drafting for beneficiary protection and to minimize gift, estate and generation-skipping taxes.back to top
2 credits. Lecture.
Representing clients as they age with a focus on: health care and long term care needs, Medicare and Medicaid eligibility and services; representing clients with diminished capacity and surrogate decision-making options including guardianship; end-of-life, hospice and palliative care planning; estate planning, including financial needs, long term care insurance, strategies to protect assets, protection against spouse impoverishment and support rights, and use of Medicaid qualifying trusts, family law issue in the context of elder law representation, and consumer protection law for older clients.back to top
Property, Law, and Society (PROP9708)
3 credits. Seminar
Prerequisite: Property or Property I and II.
This seminar explores property law and rhetoric as they are applied in the real world. It spans a number of different fields. AWR papers may address topics in intellectual property; environmental and natural resources law; zoning and land use; cultural property (including rights of indigenous peoples, cultural patrimony, and art law); Indian law; eminent domain and regulatory takings; property aspects of critical race, feminist, and queer analyses of law; traditional property jurisprudence; comparative property law; and the legal history of property. The seminar readings will draw on sociolegal, comparative, theoretical, and historical approaches to property, as well as case studies. Seminar readings will likely include liberal, libertarian, communitarian, and evolutionary theories of property; the tragedy of the commons and Elinor Ostrom's Nobel-prize winning work partially rebutting it; the problem of the anticommons; commodification and its limits; the idea of personhood property; claims to own culture and objects imbued with cultural significance; and extensions of the doctrine of regulatory takings to claims of judicial taking and the right to be compensated for regulatory delay. Case studies will likely include coastal land management; marriage as cultural property; property practice in squatter communities; the sale of body parts; and hate crimes as informal segregation.back to top

I went to the Cottage a couple of years ago when I visited NY and absolutely LOVED it. I was there for about 10 nights and went to the Cottage 3 times. I highly recommend the Sweet and Sour Pork - it was absolutely delicious.
Posted by anonymous on 04/16/2009
Friends and I have been going to The Cottage for a number of years. I do not know what has happened to our special spot. Not long ago there were so many faces on any given night that you felt like you were always eating with friends. Food was good, service was good and the place cherry. In the last year or so I would say the prices have not changed, the place has recieved a make over(not that it really needed it) and the wine is still free but something is missing. The food is not what it use to be and neither is the service. The look at you when you are standing there waiting to see how long the wait itself will be, god forbid you want something as the toss your food on the table and run away. I miss our old spot and the people who like we I guess no longer seem to be there.
Posted by Produce on 02/20/2009
Have never received food any quicker than an order from the Cottage. But the Pad Thai tasted like licorice, and the spring rolls tasted like metal.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/02/2009
Some of the dishes remain among the best you will find anywhere, especially the seafood dumplings. But the service has gone to hellin the last year, with surly punks who tell you where you must sit, even if other tables are available, and a middleaged woman who will over charge you everytime, if you don't count your change. Lastly, they are "filling" many of their dishes with carrots and celery. While I like carrots and celery, their flavors throw off chinese food. The service has become really bad.
Posted by Wulf Along the West Side on 11/22/2008
Fine-dining, it ain't. But nonetheless always good, it is. The food is solidly above-average, which, when you think about it, is a seriously high compliment given the countless number of Chinese restaurants in NYC. Go for the food, stay (but not too long) for the free white wine. (Alas, at some point in late 2007 or early 2008, The Cottage switched boxed white wines from the This-Is-Bad-But-Just-Give-Me-An-Ice-Cube to the GAWD AWFUL.) The decor's is...meh. There's worse among Chinese restaurant, but there's much better. At least it is, mercifully, not over-lit. However, the staff is friendly (yes, you read that correctly), and the value is exceptional. I highly recommend: *Steamed Red Bean Bun, *Szechuan Dumplings w. Hot Oil (14 dumplingstruly spicey peanut-y sauce *Beef w. Orange Flavor *Shredded Pork w. Black Bean Sauce (one of my absolute favs) *Sesame Chicken *Crispy Bean Curd w. Spinach *Chicken w. Broccoli (the broccoli's never been over-done I've had this dozens of times) *Bean Curd w. Brown Sauce. I have had almost every dish on their menu at least once. And there are only two that I would advise against: - Triple Delight - their Pad-Thai (it is, after all, not a Thai restaurant) They used to have a Lemon Chicken that was overpoweringly lemony. No good. Too sweet. Now...it's no longer on the menu. Give them credit for that, too! It means they got rid of something they weren't good at. That's more evidence that they're paying attention.

I ordered 4 dishes dumplings (amazing) Chicken with peanuts(good) Singapore Mai Fun(great) and sesame cold noodles (average) and from 77th street to 68th street it took them 13 minutes to cook and bring the food to me. wow that was fast

With the Neighborhood having lost all of the old and great places that used to dot the upper sixties\lower seventies I am pleased that this place, always among my favorites and consistently decent and a good bye is still around. It is comforting that this place, here when I arrived in the early eighties, thrives. It stands, as one of very few places or people from those days, who like me, remain.

Great weekend visiting my son and family in St. Louis. Went to a Cardinals baseball game Friday night and even though they lost, got to sit in a suite. Heavenly way to watch a baseball game and seeing the arch in the background gave me goosebumps. Saturday spent the day with the grandkids biking and playing Uno and Battleship while my son and his wife were off to the Harley Rally. We ate at Sonic (my first time) and my food was gross, although the kids were happy with theirs. Sunday was Pirate Fest with face painting, archery, snakes, birds and vegetarian sausage (pickles). Gorgeous weather and great company…can't wait to go back.
|Debut author Michael DeFazio, me and Sue Meyer
And what's one of my trips without running into an author? Turns out that my son's neighbor works with a new author, Michael DeFazio . They stopped by with brownies, toffee and chips and dip and we talked all things publishing (along with a few Margaritas). Mike wrote the book with his brother, Paul, and got the idea for the thriller while visiting the Dominican Republic. Look for it in Wednesday blog.
Now for the news I heard this week.
From Walt Mussell: I don't know what I expected when I went to the Decatur Book Festival over Labor Day weekend. I had wanted to go the previous two years, but my wife and kids had wanted to go to the beach instead (not that the beach is a bad thing). However, realizing that we were staying home this year, I knew what my destination would be.
The Decatur Book Festival, now in its fourth year, has grown into the largest independent book festival in the U.S., This year's three-day event featured roughly 150 authors from across the country as well as internationally, signing books and presenting workshops. The keynote speaker was Sir Harold Evans, the former president and publisher of Random House as well as the editor of The Sunday Times in London. There was live music, cooking demonstrations, wine, and a kid's parade among other activities.
However, what was fun was the books. Lots of them. Venue after venue after venue of nothing but books of all genres. I loved visiting the tables and perusing all the volumes. I loved watching others do the same (even when it turned out to be a book-loving co-worker who now knows I'm a hopeful writer when I'm not at work). And, as I helped man a booth Saturday morning for Georgia Romance Writers, I loved watching people come up to the booth and fawn over the authors that were there.
According to reports, the three-day event drew between 75,000 – 80,000 people, approximately 15% more than last year. The organizers already have plans for expansion for next year's festival on Labor Day weekend. I can't wait.
From Kathryn Tumen, Publicity | Berkley/NAL | Penguin Group: On the heels of the publication of #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan's latest Carpathian novel Dark Slayer comes a new episode of "Project Paranormal," featuring an in-depth look at Feehan and her work.

Wireline Competition Bureau Deputy Chief Carol Mattey testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet Thursday regarding H.R. 5828, the Universal Service Reform Act of 2010. Here are her written remarks.
Chairman Boucher, Ranking Member Stearns, Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today about the important subject of universal service and H.R. 5828, the Universal Service Reform Act of 2010.
Following the introduction of H.R. 5828, Representative Terry stated that the bill's goal is to ensure "everyone in America is connected into the 21st century telecommunications world." That objective is broadly shared by the FCC as we undertake the process of considering the recommendations included in the National Broadband Plan submitted to Congress in March.
The National Broadband Plan recognized the important role that the private sector has played and must continue to play in investing in broadband facilities as well as promoting investment and innovation in broadband technologies and services. But, as Chairman Boucher and Representative Terry noted when introducing H.R. 5828, some Americans live in areas for which there simply is not an economic case for any provider to build, upgrade and maintain vital communications infrastructure. That is why we have what is known as the high cost program in the Universal Service Fund.
Universal service historically has been a significant success story in the United States. In addition to incenting the private sector to bring affordable voice service to virtually all reaches of the country, the existing high cost program has played an important role in strengthening communities and our economy by supporting modern networks capable of delivering broadband as well as voice services to millions of rural Americans who would not otherwise have such access. For example, the National Exchange Carriers' Association reported that a sampling of small telephone companies made approximately $5 billion of gross investments, mostly to modernize their networks, between 2006 and 2009.
But, as I'm sure many of your constituents tell you, the current system, which wasn't designed to explicitly support broadband, is not working for everyone.

A man accused of shooting to death a local lawyer and insurance agent visiting the attorney's office in 1999 will likely never stand trial for the deaths because he is not competent, and he was committed to a mental institution.
The ruling on Walter Shell's future came Monday at a hearing in Washington County Criminal Court. Judge Jerry Beck ordered Shell be sent to Moccasin Bend, a facility in Chattanooga, until he become competent or until his death.
Dr. Steven R. Lawhon testified briefly Monday about his evaluation of Shell and told Beck that it's unlikely Shell will ever be able to stand trial.
Shell's incompetency to stand trial is not a totally new revelation in the 13-year-old double shooting that killed John D. Goodin, an attorney and former city judge, and Paul "Trey" Keyser, a local insurance agent visiting Goodin's office.
But what is new for Walter Shell, 84, is that Judge Jerry Beck dismissed the two counts of first-degree murder and signed a civil commitment ordering Shell be held until he is competent or until his death.
If Shell is ever deemed competent, District Attorney General Tony Clark said the charges will be reinstated.
Shell was arrested the same day as the shootings, March 18, 1999, and gave a statement that he had killed the men.
Shortly after his arrest, Shell was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and later indicted on those charges.
But the court case didn't go much further due to Shell's mental status. Since his arrest, Shell has been shuffled from Washington County jail to mental hospitals and to the Department of Correction special needs facility.
Psychologists and psychiatrists have conducted numerous mental evaluations during that time and Shell has never shown any sign of improvement.
There was only one claim that he was no longer a danger to himself or others, a decision made by officials at Lakeshore Mental Hospital that coincided with a sudden decline in Shell's physical health.
That report came in 2009, just a few months after a report from the same doctor at Lakeshore indicated Shell remained incompetent and a danger.
Beck held a hearing at that time, but no one knew what to do with Shell. Eventually he was sent to DeBerry, the Department of Correction's special needs facility in Nashville. Until Monday, Shell had been at DeBerry since September 2010.
Goodin's daughter, Dee Goodin, said the commitment to Moccasin Bend doesn't change the fact her father and Keyser were killed, nor does it administer adequate justice.
"Justice as not served in this case. Three families — the Keysers, my family and the Shells — have borne this burden for way too long," she said.
She was also critical of the private mental health system's relationship with the criminal justice system.
"Money was the impetus for this crime and I believe the reason for Mr. Shell's extended stay at Lakeshore," she said. "As long as that facility found him incompetent from evaluations I assume they charged to the state, they were allowed to 'keep him' and charge for his keep," she said.
She believes that when Shell's estate ran dry, "they kicked him to the curb. My monthly check of $50 for the wrongful death suit stopped one month after he was released from Lakeshore."
Goodin said Lakeshore had a glaring conflict of interest — "seeing justice was served or lining their own pockets. I believe they chose the latter."
After the hearing on Monday, Clark said he has no proof that Lakeshore's decision was based on Shell's monetary backing but found it "troublesome" that the man's health declined at the same time Lakeshore said he was no longer dangerous.
Clark said he wasn't happy the court had to dismiss the criminal charges to order the civil commitment, but was glad Shell will be in a secure facility.
"If his mental status changes for the good, the state will reinstate these charges," Clark said.
The day Shell killed Goodin and Keyser, he was apparently angry because he thought he was shorted $100,000 in his ex-wife's will and blamed Goodin for it.
After the shootings, Shell drove to Jonesborough and turned himself in at the Washington County Detention Center.
Beck filed an order immediately after the hearing on Monday directing she sheriff's office to transport Shell to Chattanooga.

Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville, who seems to prefer his neckties tied tightly below his chin. It was he who started "Bowtie Wednesday," an informal tradition during which the [Read More]
Term limit bill dies in the House
The Texas House on Wednesday scuttled a plan to give voters a chance this November to set term limits for future governors and executive branch officeholders. Senate Joint Resolution 13 would have placed a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would limit future officeholders to two consecutive four-year terms. The bill died on a 61-80 [Read More]

Artwork made by a teenager with autism was on display outside the Texas Senate chamber Wednesday, when lawmakers formally recognized the artist.

Elliot Abrams bought his house for the view outside the back windows.
It's a nice enough view - all green grass (or snow, lately), distant shrubbery and sky as far as the eye can see.
But video cameras stand on tripods ready to record the action, as if a chorus line of celebrities might at any time tap-dance across the horizon.
Instead, Abrams is looking for littler things. He documents the drama that unfolds in the sky whenever the wind picks up, the clouds collect or the snowflakes start swirling. Even sunny skies that do nothing more than darken as dusk falls can fascinate him.
Such weather worship is a work prerequisite for Abrams, the chief forecaster and senior vice president at AccuWeather.
His folksy voice is the one you hear every morning delivering weather reports on KYW (1060-AM) radio. Now in his fifth decade at AccuWeather, the 66-year-old meteorologist is so well-known to radio listeners that the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia named him to their Hall of Fame in 2009.
But for Abrams, the weather has always been as much a personal passion as a career choice.
At restaurants, he doodles isobars and maps on the paper place mats. On trips, if the weather sours, he hurries to hit the road home - not to dodge danger, but to participate in the forecasting. In his spare time, he studies past weather and its effects on historic events; he'll soon talk to grandson Jacob's fifth-grade class about how icy weather helped American troops defeat the British during the Revolutionary War battles of Trenton and Princeton.
And those videos of the skies over his back yard? He has dozens stored on his computer, many of which he's accelerated like cinematic bursts of applause for Mother Nature's grandeur. Sometimes, he'll post them on AccuWeather's website or his social-media profiles. Just as often, he just keeps them to himself.
He never tires of the weather.

Went here with my girlfriends last week, the shrimp friend rice with peanut sauce was great. If you don't drink you can easily get out of there with an appetizer and an entree for under $20 including tax and tip. I think they can work on the decor a little, but all in all, a reasonable place for good food.

I went here with my friends (a bunch of broke college students) the other night and couldn't have been happier! The atmosphere is modern and swanky, but very comfortable and the food was delicious, without being overpriced! Really great experience.
Posted by spark on 12/14/2006
I love this place. The atmosphere is very cool. The drinks are very tasty especially during happy hour and the food was delicious. And very inexpensive. Nice place to take a date too.
Posted by Anonymous on 12/01/2006
The food was great - and surprisingly a great value! In a sophisticated setting such as room service, I was expecting higher prices and smaller portions - but I was wrong! A must go!
Posted by Anonymous on 11/25/2006
Room Service is one of the best all around restaurants in the city, no doubt. Great food, hip atmosphere, good service, and best of all, very reasonable prices! Can't beat it!
Posted by sarajin on 11/06/2006
The food here is consistently excellent. The atmosphere is much trendier than the typical Thai restaurant. Noodle dishes start at only $8, which is a total steal. The drinks are yummy too. Try the lard nah or squid ink pasta, but skip dessert.
Posted by delish on 10/15/2006
The service - impeccable. The food - delicious. The ambiance - beautiful and clean (even the bathrooms are gorgeous!). The prices - very reasonable. I love this place and go often.

An advisory for bored retired folks: buy an older boat and refurbish it.
As participatory sports go, such a maritime project will keep you far more occupied than golf, for example, where activity among seniors ends at the 18th hole and the clubhouse but returns with seemingly endless tournaments on television.
Forty years ago this summer, I recruited three newspaper buddies to help sail my older, newly purchased and painted sloop from Washington, D.C., to Annapolis, Md., on my introductory long-distance cruise of Chesapeake Bay.
Two of those proud fellows, John McKelway and Dave Braaten, were never to set foot aboard a sailboat again after what they said was a "hell trip."
Taking along a kayak aboard Amtrak's Auto Train in January for two weeks of paddling in the Florida Keys called for a rugged, small inflatable that would fold up and stow inside my car.
I thought it might also perform additional duty this summer on Chesapeake Bay as my tender and as a fairly stable boatwork platform, able to fit inside my boat fully inflated when cruising. I named it Gonzo because handling such offbeat functions may also aid in my kind of participatory boating journalism.
When I began sailing in the mid-1960s, my watery world was limited to the Severn River, which opened to the great unknown (to me) Chesapeake Bay some three miles distant.
My first sailboat, a National One-Design, was moored in a cove near my home in Severna Park, Md.

His critically acclaimed book, "Maryland's Vanishing Lives," was published by Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University Press and is now in its second printing. Before joining Soundings, Jack was a feature writer at the Washington (D.C.) Star for nearly 20 years and a senior editor at Chesapeake Bay magazine from 1995 to 1998. His monthly Bay Tripper column focuses on the Chesapeake.

iPhone and iPad users who enjoy Google services can rejoice today. An update for Google Sync brings features to iOS devices that were missing in previous versions. The Google experience and iPhone has always been decent, especially in the Gmail department. Let's take a look at some of the new features…
- Search all your emails in Gmail, not just the emails stored locally by the iOS mail app.
- Accept, decline or edit calendar events from the iOS calendar app.
- Send email from the address you want.
The last bullet is a huge feature. I have a couple of email address that point to one Gmail account. Usually I like keeping them seperate but in some cases I want to send an email from a different address. That's where this feature comes in. Google says,
We recognize that some of you manage multiple email addresses from a single Gmail account.Gmail's "Send Mail as†feature lets you send messages with another email address listed as the sender instead of your Gmail address, e.g. email@example.com instead of email@example.com. Now the iOS mail app will respect these settings.
Good looking out Google! It's little details like these that makes Gmail so useful.
See "Setting up Google Sync with your iOS device" to learn how to get started.

Excellent place to stay for vacations. Many things to enjoy inside the Hotel like the sky bar, the restaurants, etc."
What a great hotel! It has the best hotel gym of any hotel I've ever stayed at. The pool is gorgeous and it's an easy walk from the airport. I look forward to staying there again."
First visit to Bangkok. Hotel was great. Staff was wonderful. Easy location and boat shuttle is wonderful!"
Our stay at the Ayara was amazing. The staff were attentive, kind and efficient. The location was perfect, near Surin beach which is a gem."
the kids club is amazing and the lady taking care of the centre is superb! A very big love to her"
This place was awesome, vast, & beautiful, from the space-age architecture to the huge pools to Karon beach right across the street. Small customer service issue on check-in: they tried upselling us to a more expensive room right off the bat, and then tried upcharging for our 6-year-old's breakfast buffet. Hotels.com clearly indicates if the buffet is for only 2 people or for the room, and obviously we book on that basis, so we were taken aback, and we really aren't interested in the limitations of a hotel's internal computer system or failure of communication between hotels.com and the hotel. No problem, I talked to someone else, explained how our check-in experience differed from our previous time staying at a Hilton (in Guam, where we were given a complimentary upgrade and no bogus upcharge for our son's breakfast), and she rectified the situation and gave us an upgrade. How much does a 6-year old eat anyway? Customer goodwill is worth far more than the money. Also, after half an hour we realized that they forgot to bring our suitcase up to our room; again, no problem, I went down to get it . . . it only took 5 minutes and was so easy . . . that their own staff could have done it. Anyway, when it was time to do a late check out (3pm), they said "no problem." Their slogan with regard to customer service issues is "we will make it right", and they did. Overall we had a fabulous time, and we'll be back!"
Very tranquil yet close to the town nice to relax in the pool which was well maintained.We were surprised we were the only UK guests,all of the other guests were French which although not a problem we would have liked to have chatted to other UK guests."
Were on a vacation. The private beach of the hotel, and the ambience of the restaurant was superb. However, they lacked professionalism in more than one way. We had requested for an airport pick up, but had to wait for more than 15 minutes at the airport. This was when we paid 500 Baht for a 2 km ride for 4 of us. Also, at the check out, citing their system was down, they wanted to take permission to charge our credit card in case there were any unpaid dues, even though there were none. This was not expected from a hotel of this category."
We had a great time at The Ark, we started in a standard room which was a bit small so we upgraded to supreme delux which was lovely. The restaurants served a wide range of good food ( I loved the fish burger) The main pool was great with funky beats all day... around 2pm the DJ's started and this went on til 2am moving from the pool to the beach around 8pm with lots of beach venders, fire shows dancers etc. We spent 3 really good days here and enjoyed every minute. My only complaint is they require a 1000BHT deposit when you check in which is fine as there is a mini bar in the rooms which our bill came to 160BHT again fine but the cleaners need to check the room after you check out and they reported that the DVD remote control back was missing, now we did not even see the DVD remote during our stay and the back might not have bee on it when we checked in for all we know (Check both remotes are in tact when you get to your room)even though it was only the back that was missing we were charged 500BHT which I found a bit harsh as we had ate drank and upgraded in the hotel and I am sure they have spare parts from previously damaged remotes! But saying that we would recommend and also we will return to this hotel in the near future."
A great economical stay located close to the heart of Bangkok. I enjoyed the stay in this hotel, although it did seem more for the budget minded the hotel hit all the points that most people would expect with any stay. The room cleaning staff were exceptional and deserve great recognition keep the hotel very clean with an excellent display of service. The front desk group was a little hard to communicate with in English. But showed a satisfactory display of service. Overall a nice stay at a good price in the heart of the city. I recommend this hotel for a short term stay!"

Columbia-Richland firefighters found the burned body in the woods Thursday afternoon.
Coroner Gary Watt said an autopsy was planned Friday.

Members of the Susannah Smith Elliott Chapter in Summerville of the Daughters of the American Revolution helped out with Carolina Day activities. Chapter members donated food and assisted with a reception in the Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon on Carolina Day, June 28th.
Carolina Day is a celebration of the defeat of the British who were seeking to control Charleston during the Battle of Fort Sullivan. The battle occurred just six days before the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.
Reception attendees included members of the Daughters of the Revolution from around the state, members of the Sons of the American Revolution, and other historical societies.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas has been a national leader in using tough curriculums and standardized tests to hold schools accountable.
Now, though, the state is preparing to step back from some of those policies. And several other states are considering similar moves.
Texas lawmakers say they fear youngsters are being forced to take too many high-stakes tests and that some may drop out because of unreasonable expectations.
The Texas House has approved an overhaul that cuts the number of standardized tests in high school from 15 to five. The state would also create a base diploma that doesn't require Algebra II or high-level math and science courses.
But some worry about overcorrection, fearful that making school too easy will leave students ill-prepared for the modern workforce.

Pastoral presence
In Ephesus, Timothy walked into a congregational mess with the mandate to straighten it out. He inherited both the legacy (left by Paul) and the problems for which others (among whom were Hymanaeus and Alexander) were responsible. Like the tohu wabohu of Genesis 1:2, pastoral vocation doesn't begin with a clean slate.
Edwin Mims published The Christ of the Poets, an examination of images of Christ in English and American poetry, more than 50 years ago. The subject has not been touched by critics since that time, so Peggy Rosenthal's book, which attempts to fill in the gaps of a half century and also to reflect current multicultural interests, deserves special commendation.
A case of soul-weariness
I've had plenty of chances to laugh at myself in the last year.

Household DEATH! 1.2.1 Windows UpdateOct 13, 2005 Patch 1 comment
Household DEATH! v1.2.1 windows update.
Household DEATH!© is a semi-comical, b-movie horrorish deathmatch mod. All of the featured weapons are items that you can find in your own home, or your neighbors, some with slight deadlier modifications!
Currently Household DEATH! is just Deathmatch, however, it is a different kind of deathmatch. One of the features is effect rune's. Four classic runes (haste, double damage, protection and Vampire) are included, as well as some that we personally haven't seen before (such as homing, infinite ammo, SLASHER! and STALKER!), which compliment HHD's current weapons arsenal. Another interesting note, is that while the mod is deathmatch, the stalker and slasher rune's promote temporary teamplay; where we turn the stalker/slasher into the center of attention whom everyone wants to destroy for the massive points!

Due to an increased level of Interest in Household DEATH! I have decided to put the official server back up.
It can be reached via the Server Browser, as well as by connecting directly to blackened-interactive.com
If interest picks up even further, I may consider doing another update to fix the Gordon model, as well as a few other things.
Household DEATH! v1.2.1 windows update.
Household DEATH! v1.2 final. RE-Release. Fixed: Lego Launcher, hairspray and stalker.
I remember playing this with the 0wn3d clan during those random mod playing nights.
xignas sounds like a kid
I wish I could find a server to play this on. I ran around some of the maps and I really liked them. It's a great concept. Is there any chance that an updated version might be released for Source?
If only i had the time..
omg when i and my friend playied first time in house map we whos scared and whay so creapy music?
Guess I'm to blame for that ;)
I just wanna say to whoever made this that my friends and I play this once in a while and get a real kick out of it. You've done a good ol' job.
ive wasted my time downloading!
why this game crashes everytime?
what kinda of serial-killer invented this mod?

It has both old charming villages and modern towns with all manner of facilities. It provides a very versatile holiday destination, where you can find peace and quiet, a wealth of opportunities for excursions and wild nightlife, not to mention the somewhat challenging experience of visiting the famous theme park Gardaland.

The cities of Verona, Mantova, Trento and Brescia are easily accessible by car or train.
Lazise is a pretty little town on the south shore of Lake Garda. Here you will find monuments from the Roman period, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The city has a very nice historic center with restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. From Lazise you can easily reach the surrounding towns such as Garda, Bardolino and Peschiera del Garda, offering trains to the major cities in the region (for example Verona, Venice).
A residential quarter with an individual style built between 1999 and 2001, with several capacious swimming pools with childrens corner. The central position, at only 400 meters distance from the lake and from the ancient town walls of Lazise, allow for guests to leave their car at home and reach the centre on foot.

Delicious! As I type I am eating the Dal Makhani with the cauliflower naan...yummmmm. So flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. I'll definitely be ordering from Desi Junction again soon. Lots of food for the $$ too!

I was craving Punjabi food and decided to use Menu Pages & found this wonderful place. My hubby ( a die hard fan of Punjabi food) said this is the best Punjabi food he has had since coming to the US. The men at the counter were really friendly and attentive. The food is custom made to suit each individual (since I love spicy and my hubby prefers medium spicy they made our dishes to suit our tastes-- LOVE THAT!!!) The place is not much to look at but you can tell that the food is going to be great just by the people who come there---THE CABBIES..my theory is that cabbies always crave authentic 'home cooked' taste and if you see an Indian place that cabbies frequently go to then the place must be good..and this holds true for Desi Junction..so if you thought the highlight for Indian food was Jackson Diner in Queens then think again..I will be going back soon.

My hubby LOVES Punjabi food and since his arrival in NYC he claims he hasn't had decent Punjabi food. Desi Junction changed his mind!! What the place lacks in atmosphere they more than make up in food. We ordered the Malai Kofta and Veg Jalfrezi (MK was better but both were good)..Since we live in Queens we decided to take our food home but while we were wating we noticed that most of the customers were cabbies..there's the hint!!! Indian cab drivers usually crave home style cooking so if the restaurant you go to is packed with cabbies, chances are the food is AUTHENTIC!!! I wish there was a Desi Junction in Queens so that we wouldn't have to suffer from the so called 'Indian' restaurants of Jackson Heigts!!! I rambled but bottom line is that the food is FANTASTIC and service is GOOD!!!

My wife and I have tried all of the Indian restaurants in Hell's Kitchen that deliver, and this is by far the best, especially if you are vegetarian (she's vegetarian and I am vegan). The food is clean, lovingly prepared and tastes wonderfully homemade. We asked for the dishes to contain no dairy, and they accommodated our requests without hesitation. They offer dishes with tofu instead of Paneer (Indian cheese), and will make dishes without the usual dairy and ghee. Their Garlic Naan is the best we have ever tried in New York, bar noneÑitÕs loaded with garlic! They even have a dish made with textured vegetable protein called Special Soybean (not certain if the meat substitute is soy-based, but they think it is), and it is fantasticÑvery flavorful. The ambience of the place is not fancy, but you can sit there if youÕre in the neighborhood, although we always do take-out. In our experience, delivery isn't fast, but we are certainly willing to wait a little for such high-quality food. All in all, this is our favorite Indian restaurant in NYC!

This is "THE BEST" place for Indian food that one can find in the tri-state area. The place primarily caters to the north Indian palate - and "WOW" should say its the REAL Indian food - easy on your stomach... and on your pocket as well! We first tried the food after a friend recommended the place... and not only have we stuck to Desi Junction for months now... we have also introduced a few of our other friends to the place. And believe me, one wouldn't be disappointed at all. The place may not have the best ambience... but who cares as long as its neatly maintained and serves such delicious food. And kudos should go to the chef ('Aunty') who makes such wonderful food. Its like just eating home-cooked food, way back in our country. Reminds me of my mom !! :-) If you are a working couple or single or a family, you could even choose to order your food regularly from here. We wish the Desi Junction team all success and urge them to keep up the great standards. That's your USP.

I have never found an Indian restaurant that made Okra until I found Desi Junction. They make this dish along with many others homestyle, just like my mom makes it. We order from here at least once a week.

I have a column family that contains a large amount of compressed binary data, and I'm interested in disabling the compression as I believe it is wasting CPU cycles.
Two questions:
1) Are CPU cycles really being wasted 'compressing' this already compressed binary data?
2) If so, how do I disable the compression (currently using the SnappyCompressor). I tried all the these without success (ie. describe shows that the SnappyCompressor is still in use):
UPDATE COLUMN FAMILY XXX WITH compression_options={sstable_compression:''};
UPDATE COLUMN FAMILY XXX WITH compression_options={''};
UPDATE COLUMN FAMILY XXX WITH compression_options=null;
An additional bonus question. :) Is there any way to show the current compression ratio for an existing column family?
Thank you,

Chron Chat: ACC expansion editor's roundtable
The ACC added Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame Monday, expanding the conference to 15 teams for the 2013-14 academic year. The Chronicle's Sports Editor Daniel Carp sat down with Jacob Klinger, Sports Editor of The Daily Orange at Syracuse, and Mike Monaco, Sports Editor of The Observer at Notre Dame, to discuss the impacts expansion could have on Duke and the conference as a whole next year.
Daniel Carp: This July 1 date was one that Syracuse has had on their calendar for nearly two years and Notre Dame has been looking toward since September. How can you describe the anticipation at your respective schools for finally joining the ACC?
Mike Monaco: I think everyone is really excited about it. It's obviously a little different with football remaining independent but having the five-game affiliation with the ACC, because football really drives the athletic support of the students at school. Everything really revolves around football. But for the other sports people are really excited, especially for men's basketball. You think about Duke, North Carolina, whether it's home or away, the students are really excited about that.
Jacob Klinger: I think at Syracuse the reaction has been different depending on the sport. For instance, obviously men's basketball and men's lacrosse, we can finally be the best conference in their respective sports, and they're very excited for that. Duke beat Syracuse in the national championship in men's lacrosse this year, and I don't think you need to say a whole lot about basketball. But for football, the ACC isn't exactly a superpower in terms of conferences, but it's a lot better than what Syracuse has competed against in the past.
DC: With this move, we're seeing significant changes to 60 years of ACC tradition and the essential destruction of the Big East as we know it. Do you think right now the focus is on the hopes for an expanded ACC or the lamentation of losing the Big East?
MM: I think at Notre Dame there is definitely a sense of losing the Big East for basketball. It might be different at Syracuse, because it's a bigger and higher-profile basketball school than Notre Dame, but I got the chance to go to the Big East Tournament in New York City this year, and if there was one word I had to describe it, it was bittersweet. The ACC will be great, especially with some teams from the Big East, but I definitely think there was a sense of loss.
JK: On campus, people that have been through the experience of Big East basketball for three or four years now, they're probably the ones feeling more of a sense of loss. If you're a freshman or sophomore and you're not from the Syracuse area or grew up with Syracuse athletics, I don't think they're going to miss too much other than losing certain opponents like Georgetown.
DC: As the ACC's footprint expands further into the Northeast and now the Midwest with the inclusion of Notre Dame, some concerns regarding travel have been raised. Being at schools that lie on the outside of that footprint and will have the farthest to go to play ACC matchups, have those issues been discussed?
MM: At Notre Dame there hasn't been much public discussion about it. I'm sure that it does make things more difficult. That being said, Notre Dame was sort of out place within the Big East. I'm sure with the ACC everything will be a little bit farther, but they've always had a lot of travel to do.
JK: Issues of travel haven't been discussed too heavily, but I know one of the things I've been looking into is the disparity in recruiting budgets heading into next year. The average recruiting expense for last year's ACC members in the year 2011 was $824,959.50. Syracuse's total recruiting expenses that year were just over $676,000. For Pitt, it was $511,126 and for Notre Dame it was $1,570,541. I don't see how they wouldn't have to adjust that budget to keep up with the rest of their new conference.
DC: The focuses recently have been with the impacts expansion will have on men's basketball, football and men's lacrosse. But what's another sport you could invision being greatly affected by the addition of Syracuse, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh to the ACC?
JK: I don't know about you, Mike, but a few sports that come to mind for me are men's soccer, field hockey and women's tennis. The Big East is traditionally a pretty good men's soccer conference. They've fallen off in the last few years. But it will be interesting to see how Syracuse competes with some of those traditional ACC powers like Maryland, North Carolina and Wake Forest. In women's tennis, the ACC is widely considered to be the best conference in the country, and Syracuse has been moving up in the rankings in the last couple of years.
MM: I can't limit it to one sport either. From talking to the coaches on campus, I think women's soccer is going to be really exciting next year. North Carolina was up here for a nonconference game earlier this year and it was a great game, came down to the final minute. And in the NCAA tournament, Notre Dame played Wake Forest. I think it's going to be a really exciting conference for women's soccer as well as men's. And it doesn't really apply as much to Syracuse, but with Notre Dame baseball has always been a pretty good program, and the SEC, Pac-12 and ACC are the premier baseball conferences out there. So joining the ACC will be great for Notre Dame baseball.
DC: And wrapping up here, if you guys could each pick one game that you're really looking forward to seeing in the ACC next year, what would it be and why?
MM: I think for me personally, and I feel comfortable speaking for most of the student body on this one, the first time Notre Dame men's basketball travels to Cameron Indoor Stadium for a basketball game, I think that's going to be incredible. I think that's something that could invigorate the Notre Dame student body. It's a discussion that took place between the athletic department and the student body this past basketball season was that sometimes the student support was lacking when it wasn't College Gameday in the house or a big nonconference game against Kentucky. So I think that type of conference game in general could help drub up a lot of support for other sports outside of the crazy, rabid football fandom.
JK: When Syracuse hosts Duke, I think will be probably the one I'm most looking forward to. They'll probably pack about 35,000 people into the Carrier Dome for that one and it will definitely be a spectacle to behold. Should be a pretty good basketball game, as well. I'm especially interested because there's been some talk about the idea of putting the basketball court in the middle of the field at the Carrier Dome, and would allow them to seat upwards of 50,000 or more. I don't know how it would work, but if it did, that game would have a Final Four in the dome kind of feel.
DC: On both of those accounts, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to seeing the teams a bit shell-shocked the first time they play in front of the atmosphere at Cameron. For Syracuse especially, with the return of Michael Gbinije this year to his old stomping grounds, that game will be a huge matchup. And I definitely would mind taking a trip up to the Carrier Dome to see what that looks like either.
Lots of changes coming to the ACC next year, and it should be one of the most exciting seasons in the conference's history. Jacob, Mike, thanks so much for taking the time to talk, and welcome to the ACC.

For young and old alike, dreams of the water at Duluth boat showNathan Loraas sat with his grandfather on one of the big pontoons Wednesday night on the floor of the Duluth Boat, Sports, Travel & RV Show at the DECC.
By: Mike Creger, Duluth News Tribune
Nathan Loraas sat with his grandfather on one of the big pontoons Wednesday night on the floor of the Duluth Boat, Sports, Travel & RV Show at the DECC.
The 7-year-old from Duluth leafed through a glossy brochure as Dennis Meyer tried to keep up with his chatter.
"Party boat," Loraas said.
"You see, those are hard to get on a trailer," Meyer said.
And if Grandpa had been totally honest, the $70,000 price tag was a bit out of reach.
The annual show is a chance to catch up on the latest equipment, and Meyer had his eye on aluminum fishing-rod holders. He said the show is a way to get ideas on what he needs on the lake, and those holders look like the way to go.
"I'm in the market for that," Meyer said. "Being here means it's time to start thinking about getting ready."
He's rebuilding a 1985 Crestliner, gutting out its rotted interior. He has four other boats, including a sail boat and the classic Lund.
He's got nothing as large as the big-ticket behemoths at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center show that runs through Sunday. The show is as much fantasy as reality with the showcase boats.
"This is a boat you can see yourself driving in," Meyer said. He laughed and said that's about all he will do — imagine.
His wife, Margaret, was in charge of Nathan's 5-year-old sister, Hannah. They were a few exhibition spaces away when Hannah said she wanted a balloon. That meant a trip to the cafeteria, where Cheri Merri Muffin holds court making balloon animals.
Hannah rattled off her favorites at the show, which is being held along with the Northland Outdoors Duluth Deer Classic for the fourth year.
And then a "thank you" to Cheri for her balloon poodle.
"And one for my brother?" Hannah asked.
Cheri whipped up a sword and the pair were off to find the boys.
The Hansen brothers from Hermantown were all about the engines on the pontoons.
"There's tons of boats and tons of horsepower," 7-year-old Peyton Hansen said as his 9-year-old brother, Preston, nodded his head emphatically.
Parents Bryan and Shalee bought a used 16-foot Lund last year, a practical move given all the gleam at the boat show.
The two boys love boats, Shalee said. The couple once owned a cabin and pontoon but gave them up, and now they're happy to use Grandpa's lake digs or a wide range of lakes in the area.
"I spent more time working on the place than enjoying it," Bryan said. "Now we keep the boat in the garage and head out on the weekends."
"Don't touch any buttons, boys," Shalee said as she held the family baby, Mila.
The two brothers were crawling all over the pontoons and still talking about the big engines.
Asked if price mattered in deciding which boat he liked best, Preston gave a quick "no."
His father responded the way many visitors will at the boat show.
"It doesn't cost anything to dream," Bryan Hansen said.
If you go
What: Duluth Boat, Sports, Travel & RV Show and Northland Outdoors Duluth Deer Classic at the DECC.
When: 5 to 10 p.m. today; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Admission: $9 for adults, $6 for ages 6-17 and free for younger children.

Giantbomb's sports community is lacking, I understand that. But what comes first? The discussion, or the users?
With Connected Careers, what are you most looking forward? Being a coach? Or being a player? Will you go create-a-player, legend, or current person?
Me personally, I will be running a Coach in the traditional sense. I will either use the standing coach, Lovie Smith of my Bears, or create a coach like myself. We'll see.
What appeals to those of you who try the Superstar mode? I've never been hooked except for the gimmicky trophies.

Wasnt Epcot suppose to get a preview center about the upcoming Hong Kong Disneyland Park around the 50th anniversary celebration? If so, where will they put it?
"Walt Disney World may have more than Disneyland, but Disneyland has quality, and quality triumphs over quantity" -DL_CRAZE
last december i went to Epcot's guest relations and they said that the Preview Center of HOng Kong Disneyland will be on Sept 12th . I'm not sure about that date but it's around Sept 10th .
It's open now, they got coverage at Laughing Place now as well.
I know it is open.. (missed it..) and i know Hong Kong CMs are training at the resortts and parks... Their were quite a few working the Registers at Pop centery....
It isn't yet open as of April 1st... I was just there.
It's supposed to be open now ... and like the new park, there really isn't all that much to see.
But I am sure it's got to be pretty... at least.Originally Posted by WDW1974
I looked at the preview posted on another website. I was just thinking with the minimal number of actual rides, that they could have spent the money on the preview center on adding a Snow White's Adventures to Fantasyland in Hong Kong or something. I mean, how much could it have cost to put in a Snow White or Pinocchio?
I'm waiting for your first-hand report. I won't be able to check it out until April 14th or 15th.Originally Posted by TDLFAN
You mean 2006?Originally Posted by WDW1974
Actually, I was asking you for a report on the preview center. THAT I won't see until next week. As to the Hong Kong park, I'd like to see it this fall, but it could be next year before I actually get there ...
Oh I see... I am on my way to EPCOT later today, and MK in the evening... even though I am still a bit jetlagged from my EXPO trip to Nagoya.
It's amazing, TDL. I both love you AND hate you! lol
Will email you soon to try to firm up plans for a Labuda/TDL meet in May.
July 1987 - offsite, 1-day visit to the MK; July-August 2000 - honeymoon - Port Orleans (now POFQ); May 2003 - Caribbean Beach Resort; Dec 2003 - Coronado Springs; April 2004 - Pop Century (PC) & POFQ; Sept 2004 - Animal Kingdom Lodge; May 2005 - Port Orleans Riverside; Sept 2005 - PC; Oct 2006 - POFQ; Apr 2007 - PC; July 2007 - Boardwalk Villas (WOO HOO!

CULTURE SHOCK kids: China is not a middle class democracy like the US.Originally Posted by Crispy
It's literally 1955 over there people. They don't have a 3 generation love affair with Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. They arent Japan, which glorifies and adores all things American... (Check the Pasadena swap meet some time, its all 2nd hand store BUYERS collecting Americana for TOKYO.)
They are more likely to know NEMO or something released in this century, as I dont think Disney films are widely distributed and available in China yet. It is just beginning to develop a middle class that can afford the disposable income on a Disney vacation. They are likely going to need to tailor this to local tastes more than Japan and more than France. Those countries have seen Disney movies over the decades and were at least familiar with the concepts and characters of the Disney library.

Quick, easy question - I've read conflicting reports about WiiConnect24. I turned it off for the Softmod installation, as recommended.
Is it okay to turn it back ON after the installation is complete? I've read a couple of places that it is, a couple of places that it is not - neither are for a 4.2 SoftMod, however.
For whatever reason, DOP-IOS did not work for me. Running it through Trucha worked like charm.
i am following the guide, but i got stuck on step 2a already
I did that, but when i select download from nus, it starts to init the network. This results in an error, since my wii is not connected to any network/internet, i guess.Step 2 - Restoring The Bug Into IOS36
a) Load and Homebrew Channel and run DOP-IOS MOD, on the IOS Selection Screen, press down on the d-pad then A on the wiimote. You should now be in the trucha bug restorer portion of DOP-IOS MOD. Load IOS36 and select Downgrade IOS15. Each time it asks, select 'Download From NUS'
Make sure you get no errors.
i tried this as well, but then it still tries to connect to the network, which fails of course.If Loading IOS36 doesn't work for this step, press B for no IOS reload when asked to load IOS.
How can i get this right? Do i have to be connected to the internet?
Thanks in advance for any help
hi thanks iam having all kind of problems too but you didn't put link to get flies???thanks i hope it helps
