The Ginger People GINGER SYRUP
I have become addicted to this stuff. It is as described - syrup made from ginger and sugar. It isn't an overpowering taste, so even the ginger-shy can't enjoy it.

2.0.45 released. As well as --tocue, --tocuen and --tocuea, I have now added the --paranoid switch which will cause warnings and non-critical errors to return a non-zero return code, so that this can be picked up in a script. Thanks to R Hannes Beinert for the suggestion and patch.
2005-12-08 13:24 :
2.0.45b9: Added code to fix memory leak. Report and code kindly provided by Steve Vibert.
2005-12-08 13:24 :
2.0.45b8: Added --tocue, --tocuen and --tocuea. libVorbis 1.1.2 & libOgg 1.1.3.
If you downloaded Tag 2.0.43 before 19:30 BST you may want to download it again.
See this post for more info.
QUOTE (Compact Dick @ Feb 9 2005, 02:40 AM)
a small bug report for 2.0.42. View APE 3.98 and higher files' tags and the details field is incorrect, for example: "Details: 24 Hz, playtime 42274:53:30". The 24 Hz part is always constant.
Version 2.0.43 has been uploaded.
v3.98+ APE files are now detailed correctly. Also, the 10KB limit when using the -f switch has been removed.
Update: wapet has also been updated now, so that the 10KB limit no longer applies. wapet 0.5 available here.
I thought I may as well record on forum that I have updated Case's Tag with libFLAC 1.1.2. You can get it here.
It now uses libFLAC 1.1.2, libOgg 1.1.2 and libVorbis 1.1.0 - all the most recent releases.
I see from the FLAC changelog that there have been some changes relevant to VORBIS tagging, so I thought I may as well.
Original Post:
This topic explains the history of this amendment
There is a little information, and all the downloads here:
I hope someone else finds this useful as well.
wapet is also now available, with the additional -f switch.

I'm pretty sure I've resolved this now.
The -t switch parameters were getting converted to UTF8 from UNICODE immediately, and then passing a flag saying they were UTF8.
My -f switch parameters were passing the flag, but had not been converted.
I have stopped them setting the flag, so they are now converted to UTF8 just before they are written.
I have tried a few different file types, and ID3v1 and APEv2, and I get no problem now.
I would quite like to have a test string with more test characters than "£" - but as I am pretty sure that this was the problem I am equally sure that any similar issues would have been resolved. I don't understand enough about UNICODE and UTF8 to know offhand.

Our position: Legislators should amend the House budget and continue progress on equalizing school funding and fostering charter schools.
The Indiana House passed a two-year budget last month that calls for a 4 percent increase in school funding. But the plan could set Indiana back in two areas of education where it has improved in recent years: equalizing funding and expanding opportunities for poor Hoosiers to attend better schools.
Three decades of attempts at property tax reform have led to the state picking up, on average, 83 cents of every dollar in school operating funds. That fact, along with a complexity index that provides more money to high-poverty school districts, has helped narrow the funding gap between wealthy and poor schools.
Passage of the charter school law in 2000 has provided urban families with access to high-quality schools they otherwise could not afford.
But an analysis of the revised school funding formula contained in the House budget shows that it exacerbates another inequity in school funding -- between fast-growing schools and those declining in enrollment. It also fails to further equalize funding between rich and poor schools. Poor students would be hurt further by the plan to freeze charter school funding and preclude charters from state money for full-day kindergarten.
Senators should ditch the proposals and write a budget that allows the state to narrow funding gaps among all schools while expanding choice. Doing both is critical to helping solve the serious problems affecting Indiana's education system.
Equality counts
House Democrats had a chance this legislative session to narrow the gap between rich and poor schools by targeting the dropout crisis and low educational achievement.
They also could have proposed ways to cure the chronic shortchanging of fast-growing suburban schools such as Hamilton Southeastern, which receives less in per-pupil funding now than six years ago, despite nearly doubling its enrollment.
What they offered instead is a mess.
The proposed 4 percent increase in state funding for school operations will go to only 60 percent of school districts; 117 school districts will receive less state funding. And none of it will help poor-performing school districts fix their underlying problems.
Why? Because the plan to restructure the funding formula doesn't include any special money targeted at efforts to reduce the number of dropouts or improve teacher quality.
Instead, it adds four new alternate funding calculations, including one that gives districts in small farming communities an additional $500 per student and another that provides an additional $100 per student to Indianapolis Public Schools and other districts with shrinking enrollments.
Besides making the already murky funding formula even less transparent, none of the calculations would require poor-performing schools to pour the money into areas of greatest need, such as improving middle schools.
Suburban districts would still be shortchanged because none of the new formulas apply to them.
Hamilton Southeastern, for example, would see per-pupil funding decline by 2 percent over the next two school years, despite a likely 15 percent spike in enrollment. IPS, in contrast, would see its per-pupil funding increase 15 percent even as enrollment continues to decline.
It's not simply a case of taking from privileged students to help the poor. Special-needs students make up 20 percent of Hamilton Southeastern's enrollment. Yet because only 5 percent of its students receive free or reduced-price lunches, the district doesn't receive additional money to provide extra help for harder-to-teach students.
What's needed is a funding formula that helps poor districts reduce dropouts and improve achievement while also taking into account the needs of growing districts. Funding to help poor districts attract experienced, talented teachers is critical. Basing funding more on enrollment would assure that growing districts are not penalized.
The budget is now before the Senate. It needs plenty of revisions.
Save the charters
Dan Roy, Indianapolis' charter schools czar, contends that House Democrats' proposed freeze on charters funding is "a de facto moratorium" that hurts the city's poorest students.
Neither of the two new charters authorized by the city, including one that would serve students in economically downtrodden neighborhoods around Lafayette Square, would receive any state funding.
Roy says the freeze would keep at-risk students from getting a sound education by "preventing quality schools from coming online."
He's right. A close look at the proposed spending freeze shows how devastating it would be on charter schools and the students they teach.
Existing charters, many of which have waiting lists for new students, would see their funding frozen by the House budget. Per-pupil funding for Indianapolis Metropolitan High School, one of two charters run by Goodwill Industries of Greater Indianapolis, would drop 45 percent by the 2008-09 school year.
Charters would be squeezed even more by the fact that, unlike traditional schools, they must pay for transportation and construction costs from state funding, instead of with property taxes.
If the charter school provisions in the House budget were to become law, many of the 36 charters that have opened since 2001 in Indiana would shut down. It would be a grave setback, marking the end of an important effort to reshape the educational destinies of Indiana's poorest children.
Opponents claim that charters siphon off the best students from traditional public schools. But only 27 percent of students passed both the English and math portions of ISTEP before they entered Indianapolis' charters. That's 10 points below the combined passing rate for IPS students.
While room for improvement remains, charters are helping the weakest students gain ground. Only 51 percent of third-graders in Indianapolis charters passed the ISTEP in English in 2003. The score was 23 points below the statewide percentage. By 2005, however, the passing percentage for that same group had improved to 70 percent, three points off the statewide percentage.
Students aren't the only beneficiaries. Indianapolis and Gary, both plagued by poor-performing traditional public schools, have a better chance of retaining middle-class families who otherwise might flee to suburban districts.
Besides ditching the freeze on funding, the state Senate should provide charters with money for full-day kindergarten, which many already offer. The legislature also should make it more economically feasible for charters to form in township districts outside IPS.
The House budget endangers a key educational reform effort. The Senate needs to save it.

Also, if anyone still has one of these desktop radios (nrgizerbunny?) can they ascertain from that how the aerial set up worked?
I have to say, I still think that having the Silabs (or whatever for FM) as a separate module is the way forward, with my new DAB/FM combined aerial I get really good signal at the Silabs. It would need someone to put multi tuner code into RR/CF though. There is a multi tuner silabs.dll floating around on the UK forum for running 2 Silabs but I don't know if any of the RR coding team have ever had a look at it, or whether it's of any use at all. I only wish I had the coding skills myself.

Mix in with the locals here. Every Friday, there is a certified Farmer's Market and shopping market downtown, now at 4th and North Waite Court/Promenade (was previously by 1st St and Pine Ave). Besides shopping for exotic fruits and vegetables, one can find great deals on items like handbags, apparel, and various trinkets. Also, instead of just munching on an apple, one can get full on various ethnic foods like a Greek gyro or Mexican tamale.
As for shopping, there are very affordable options, including a $1 and $3 womens accessories boots and typical CA sounvenir-oriented selling 3 for $10 T-shirts and like. Beware of some fakes esp with jewelry and purses if you are into buying quality brands.
Note: There are two hours of FREE parking in any of the three CityPlace parking structures nearby.

NDP government would create new and improved gun registry 'without going overboard,' Mulcair says
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said Wednesday a New Democrat government would create a gun registry that would allow police to track every firearm in Canada.
Mulcair stopped short of saying that he wants to reconstitute the long-gun registry, which the Tories did away with in 2012. He said the registry, brought in by the previous Liberal government, was problematic.
There has to be a way to get this done to ensure public protection without going overboard, Mulcair said. you can try here
Farmers and hunters strenuously objected to the registry, but Mulcair says requiring firearms to be registered is no different than the obligation to register a car or license a dog. And he says duck hunters don't need assault rifles, unless they're planning to shoot a pterodactyl.
Mulcair made the comments after meeting with his caucus, and days before the 25th anniversary of the shooting at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. As well, the Commons has a new gun bill before it, C-42, that would loosen restrictions around transporting prohibited and restricted firearms, and give cabinet the final say over how guns are classified.
Mulcairs comments are likely to go over well in Quebec the main source of the NDPs seats in the Commons. That province is fighting to keep the data from the now-defunct federal registry so it can create a registry of its own.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau told reporters that his party had no interest in bringing back a long-gun registry. He said the government could do more around how guns are classified, and the proper review of people who buy a firearm.

Ultimate Preview - UT vs. Ok-State
Jason Suchomel
3: David Ash ranks third in the
nation in passing efficiency (190.5).
7: Texas ranks seventh in the FBS in scoring (49.3 points per game). The rushing
offense ranks No. 13 in the nation (258.7
ypg) and the passing game is the fourthmost efficient in the FBS (183.97 rating)..
8: Oklahoma State has won eight straight home games for its
longest Stillwater streak since 1984-85. OSU's current home winning streak is tied for the sixth longest in the country and is
the second longest in the Big 12 Conference.
"Around here, it's a younger team, so we'll talk to them. I think the environment here is we get too high, too fast, we get too low, too fast. I think they pretty much understand what they've got ahead of them. That's the good thing. We bring them back down to earth when we watch video. They all see video. They know who is playing good, who is not."
- Kenny Vaccaro
Before the 2012 season started, most thought that the weaknesses of Texas would be on the offensive side of the ball, particularly the passing game. Through three games, however, the offense has been effective at moving the ball down the field and getting into the end zone both on the ground and through the air.
Instead, it's been the defense that has caused more concern. It hasn't been bad, exactly. But it has been sloppy, and cleaning that up was a focus of the bye week.
"We are giving up too many big plays. It happened some to us early in the season last year," coach Mack Brown said. "We still have some tackling concerns. I think the front is playing really well. But we've missed tackles at linebacker and in the secondary. We can't continue to do that with this league, the way that people score. We just have to keep working on it."
That came to a head in the Ole Miss game, when Brown went over to his defense and, er, encouraged them to step up their level of play.
"I was really disappointed when we had, like Wyoming, two or three opportunities to get the game over, put guys in earlier. Twenty-eight points now is not a lot in college football, the way people are playing," Brown said. "I thought that really kept some guys out of the game. We've told them, 'It's your responsibility to get your buddies in the game. It's not ours. You're taking snaps away from guys that are your buddies. Buddies, don't gripe at us, gripe at your teammates.'"
Turnovers have helped make up for some of that. The Longhorns have only turned the ball over once this season, a fumble in the opener, and have 42 points off of opponents' turnovers. But Brown isn't counting on that continuing.
"When you get better competition, the numbers usually don't stay as good," the coach said.
Oklahoma State would qualify as better competition. Though the Longhorns dominated the series for years, the Cowboys enter the week in the Top 25 with two victories in a row over Texas. And like the Longhorns, they've had a bye week to correct mistakes heading into this weekend.
��Quarterback David Ash has gotten off to a great start this season, but one issue that has come up has been his tendency to underthrow deep balls, requiring the receiver to hold up or come back to catch them. That hasn't hurt the team yet, however, and Mack Brown doesn't seem to be worried.
"If you underthrow it, you've got a great chance to get it. And usually the wide receivers come back and get it," Brown said. "We've been encouraging him to let the guys catch it and been challenging the receivers to catch it. Overthrown balls are punts: you don't have a chance to catch them. When the receiver is turning and running back, and the defensive back is running with his back to you, you'll see the underthrown ball caught most of the times by the receivers-very seldom by the defensive backs."
��The Longhorns are a young team, and they're getting younger every week as Mack Brown keeps leaning on his freshmen. Fourteen of the 26 true frosh on the roster have already played and more may see action in the coming weeks, given Brown's concern about having enough available depth to make it through the Big 12 schedule.
��Because of the bye week, Texas had some extra time to focus on a game plan for Oklahoma State. However, Brown didn't emphasize that in practice during the extra sessions, choosing to focus on correcting weaknesses found in previous games rather than looking ahead too early, and he said as he entered the bye week that the preparation wouldn't change much.
"We told the kids, we will actually look at cleaning us up and we're going to look at what we need to do to improve. We're not going to mention Oklahoma State to the kids until Sunday because we feel like in our past, if you're not careful, you can start playing games too early. If you start on them now, you talk about them all week, it's kind of old news when they get back for next week. We're going to wait," he said.
Scouting The Oklahoma State Offense:�� Without injured QB Wes Lunt, the Cowboys could be a tougher to defend. QB J.W. Walsh offers a more diverse set of skills as someone who can bolt the pocket at any time and gain yards with his feet. Walsh is not as skilled a passer, though, which negates some of the effectiveness the Cowboys gain on the short, precise routes they run out of their hurry-up attack. The Texas defense will present a much more difficult task. RB Joseph Randle needs to get some yardage out of the run game to open up throwing lanes. The Cowboys have scored at least 30 points in 21 consecutive games.
Scouting The Oklahoma State Defense:�� The return of coordinator Bill Young against Louisiana-Lafayette saw the Cowboys respond with a first-half shutout defensively. The unit still is best in the back end, where experienced linebackers and defensive backs reduce any confusion in coverage. The Cowboys have yet, however, to capitalize on the takeaways that saved them so often last season when they led the nation by forcing 44 turnovers. Rest assured, with Young cleared medically and back at practice, he is concentrating heavily on strip and pick drills.
-- Sports Xchange
QB J.W. Walsh-Brought on in relief duty against Louisiana-Lafayette, Walsh responded with a superb game as he led the Cowboys to a school-record 742 yards in total offense. Walsh threw for 347 yards and rushed for 73, accounting for five touchdowns.
WR Josh Stewart-After catching 19 passes all of last season, Stewart stepped into a featured role and has responded with 19 receptions through three games. A high school teammate of Walsh, Stewart set career bests with nine catches for 104 yards against Louisiana-Lafayette.
OT Daniel Koenig-One of three new starters in the OSU offensive line, Koenig and the rest of the linemen must be ready to battle a tough Texas defensive front. The Cowboys have yet to allow a sack and are averaging 6.95 yards per rush, which ranks second nationally.
1. Continue the trend - Texas ranks sixth nationally with a +6 turnover margin through just three games. In a contest that figures to be close, whoever protects the football could very well wind up on top at the end of the night.
2. Get 'em on the ground - It's been talked about all season, but the Texas defense needs to do a much better job of tackling. If Ole Miss and Wyoming were able to break off big plays, it's scary to think what OSU can do if Texas doesn't improve in this area.
3. Grind - Texas may not turn in the types of big offensive plays that it did against Ole Miss, but the ground game should be able to have some success. Texas needs its backs to make yards after contact and move the chains for some long, clock-eating drives.
Senior Tracy Moore doesn't lead the team in receptions, but he's the guy OSU is counting on to be a strength in the passing game regardless of who is throwing the ball. With J.W. Walsh expected to take all the snaps, the offense will be a bit more limited compared to what can be called with Wes Lunt, due to Lunt's arm strength. OSU does not have the dominant WR that it has had n the past.
Joseph Randle and Jeremy Smith give Oklahoma State a terrific one-two punch at teh tailback spot. The two have combined for more than 500 yards so far this season. If there's one weakness that can be exploited, it's that Randle has had some fumbling problems dating back to last year. Smith is more of a one cut guy and a more physical runner, while Randle is great in space and is a threat as a receiver.
Texas' run defense takes a hit with the absence of the team's only experienced linebacker, Jordan Hicks. Steve Edmond and Demarco Cobbs will have to turn in their best efforts of their young careers, and the Horns will need someone like Tevin Jackson or Kendall Thompson to step up their game as well.
It seems like OSU has experienced talent on the OL every year, and 2012 is no different. Guard Lane Taylor is a four-year starter. The other guard, Jonathan Rush, is in his sixth year in the program. Parker Graham played pretty much all year last year and has really anchored down the left side of the line this year. As a whole, the group is a bit better at pass protection that it is run blocking.
The Ok-State run defense is a little bit untested this year through three non-conference games. Arizona ran the ball well, but it did it with a different style than the downhill run game that Texas will show. Caleb Lavey, Shaun Lewis and Alex Elkins have shown well in the run game for the most part.
An argument can be made that cornerbacks Brodrick Brown and Justin Gilbert are right up there with any corner tandem in college football. People in Stillwater feel this group is every bit as good, if not better than Texas' starters. The safety spots are a strength and a weakness. Daytawion Lowe started all year last year and is good against both the run and pass. The strong safety spot that Markelle Martin vacated has been a weakness.
David Ash is one of the best quarterbacks in the country statistically, but there is still some thought that he needs to play well in conference games before people will be full believers. He'll be tested in a tough environment on Saturday night. Look for Texas to try to get Jaxon Shipley involved early.
Oklahoma State has some size and talent along the D-line. Nigel Nocholas, a two-year returning starter at DT has has moved to DE, his natural position. The line has good size across the board and the coaches feel good about Calvin Barnett and James Castleman inside. Barnett's a high motor guy and commands a lot of double teams.
David Ash, the RBs and the WRs got most of the headlines for Texas against Ole Miss, but the offensive linemen may have been the stars of that game. This group will get its first real test this week.
Quinn Sharp is one of the nation's best as both a kicker and a punter. On kick-offs, he puts it through the back of the end zone pretty much at will. David Glidden has solidified what was thought to be a shaky punt return situation.
Texas had been terrific on kick coverage but you can't ignore the 100-yard return given up against Ole Miss. There's still no official word on Anthony Fera's availability, but we continue to hear rumblings that he won't be ready.

Italian Jeweler Pomellato to Sell Shares in IPO, Chief Says
Pomellato SpA, the Italian jeweler whose trinkets have been worn by Sofia Coppola, plans to sell shares in an initial public offering, Chief Executive Officer Andrea Morante said.
"Our objective is to take Pomellato public," Morante said today by phone, amid reports that shareholder Damiani SpA was seeking to divest its stake. The company isn't currently working on an IPO, which "is more of a 2013 project." There are no current talks to sell the company, he said.
The Milan-based jeweler, known for its M'ama non m'ama stacking rings, would follow other Italian luxury companies including Prada SpA and Denmark's Pandora A/S in seeking a listing. Speculation about takeovers of jewelry makers has increased since LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA bought Italy's Bulgari SpA this year.
Pomellato had sales of 122 million euros ($175 million) in 2010 and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of 18.6 million euros. Pandora is currently trading at a ratio of enterprise value to trailing Ebitda of 12.57, according to Bloomberg data.
Damiani Stake
The family owners of Damiani, who bought 18 percent of Pomellato in 2002, will weigh bids for the stake in its rival after having been approached to sell, Chairman and CEO Guido Damiani said in an interview in today's Corriere Della Sera. That was confirmed by a Damiani official.
The Damiani owners are considering selling their stake to Gucci owner PPR SA, Corriere Della Sera reported yesterday, without saying where it got the information. Mediobanca SpA is advising the family, according to two people familiar with the plans who asked not to be named as the matter is private.
The Damiani family's stake in Pomellato doesn't hold any rights in terms of governance, Morante said.
PPR has met with Pomellato, according to two people with direct knowledge of the talks. Neither party is interested in a transaction at the moment, said the people, who asked not to be named because the meeting was private.
Paris-based PPR is seeking to add to its jewelry portfolio as the company reorganizes around luxury goods and sports and lifestyle brands, Chief Executive Officer Francois-Henri Pinault said in February. The Paris-based company has had contact with numerous brands, he said at the time.

I just wanna pass along a superb customer service experience w/Amazon.
We preordered our son a Kindle Fire when they were first introduced a few years ago. He LOVES it! Prefers it to Dad's I-pad Mini!
It is behaving badly. Not charging. Not turning on past the loading page. Today, I did the Amazon help chat. Seems the device is beyond help.:( And out of warranty.
Amazon gave us a very substantial discount on the New, Improved Kindle Fire HD 8.9 w/ Dolby and our choice 16G or 32G. Boy opted for 16G, as " I never fully used the 8G on my other one with the Cloud!"
New one arrives Fri.
The Help Chat Rep was pleasant, patient, courteous, and very helpful. A good outcome.
------Brother Innovis NX650Q; Brother Nouvelle 1500; Brother CS6000i; Brother 1034D; Janome 1000CPX
WOW! Amazing and wonderful to hear that. I'm very happy for you.
I also have a Kindle and have had to replace it twice (once the dog chewed it and once I dropped it). Both times Amazon's customer service was wonderful and got me a new one within a day or two.
That's why Amazon is so popular they have always had excellent customer service.
Thanks for posting. For all the kvetching we do about bad service, it is always so nice to read about the GOOD customer service experiences!
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
Not online businesses, but two companies that stand out in customer service in my area are Publix Supermarkets and Chick-Fil-A restaurants. Both demonstrate the gold standard in customer service and have earned my loyal support.
When I go into another grocery store/fast food restaurant and receive mediocre or bad service, I can't excuse it because I know great service IS possible based on my experiences in Publix and Chick-Fil-A. There are no excuses! If they can do it, then so can any other business. They simply must make it a priority.

*** 9/14/2013 *** - Teresa Tourville becomes the first Executive Producer of "It Hurts To Win," with her donation of $5,000.00.
**UPDATE 9/1/2013 - Please check out this article/interview about "It Hurts To Win," and Boston University Wrestling, in wrestling's nationally renowned publication InterMat - Documentary to capture BU's final wrestling season
** 9/2/2013 - Boston Magazine - Documentary Will Investigate BU's Choice to Cut the Varsity Wrestling Program
** 9/2/2013 - The Examiner - Filmmakers seek funds to tell story of Boston University eliminating wrestling
**9/10/2013 - The Daily Free Press - New documentary to tell story of final BU wrestling season
**9/12/2013 - Boston.com - Filmmakers to shoot documentary of BU wrestling's 45th and final season
The Film
"It Hurts To Win" is the story of the final season of the Boston University wrestling program. After being unexpectedly dropped at the end of the 2012-2013 season, the Terriers were given one final year (2013-2014) to compete and represent the university. This film will document the season, the wrestlers, the coaches, and the local wrestling community. Additionally, the film will also attempt to further investigate why the men's wrestling program was so unexpectedly and unceremoniously dropped.
Our hope is that the audience will leave the film with a better understanding of who is affected when a collegiate athletics program is cut, and the emotional toll it takes on all of the individuals involved. Especially with a sport like wrestling, the loss of a program is much more than a small brief in the sports section; it's the loss of a passion. It is also our hope to convey that at the base of everything, this is an emotional story of loss, betrayal and perseverance in the face of adversity – which are all very relatable to the lives of most people.
The Filmmakers
Michael Abelson graduated in May 2013 from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in journalism. A lifelong wrestling fan, Michael has written for publications in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire including ESPN Boston, Eagle-Tribune and the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Brandon Lavoie attends Emerson College where he is currently earning a degree in film production, with focuses in directing and cinematography. Brandon was a member of the production crew at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival and has assisted on many student and professional film sets, including the short film "Caleb," the "Black & White Tribeca Interview Series," and "Key Ingredients," a film-inspired cooking event hosted by The Food Network in conjunction with Tribeca Film.
Brandon's knowledge of film production, direction, and camerawork will compliment Michael's expertise and experience with collegiate athletics and his ability to ask meaningful questions in important interviews. As a team, we not only believe that we can succeed in this task and make this film, but that we can do it in the most compelling way possible.
After careful consideration we have crafted a budget of $25,000.00, which we believe will allow us to efficiently and effectively make this film.
What's The Money For?
The $25,000.00 we are trying to raise will be used for 4 areas of production.
1.) Travelling Expenses – In order to follow the team throughout their season, it is necessary for us to travel with them. Our travelling expenses will cover: flights, hotels, meals, car rentals, gas, taxi's, subways, etc.
2.) Production Equipment – We would like to tell this story as well as we possibly can. To do so, not only does our content need to be sound, so does our production. For example, the video we shot for this page was done on a camera that shoots in standard resolution (720p). We will need to shoot the actual film with two, high definition (1080p) Canon DSLR cameras. In addition to the two cameras we will need microphones, lights, a Steadicam, tripods, hard drives, memory cards, batteries, etc.
3.) Post Production – Brandon's current enrollment in Emerson's film school presents the opportunity to work with other students in post production who will be willing to assist with the editing process for a film credit. We have additionally budgeted for the possibility that we may need some post production assistance.
4.) Festival Submissions – When all is said and done, we want to get Boston University wrestling's story out there. The best way for us to go about this will be to submit their story to Film Festivals.
If We Don't Reach Our Goal
If we do not reach our goal of $25,000.00, we are still adamant about telling this story. Though we may need to adjust our budget we are determined to get this story out there.
Other Ways You Can Help
We understand that some people may not be able to contribute financially. Another way you can help us make this project a reality is to spread the word! Word of mouth is a powerful tool, and when supplemented by the sharing power of the Internet's social media… there are no limits for this campaign. Whether you are contributing financially or not, please share this link with everyone you know. Just like every dollar counts, so does every social media share.
FYIMichael and Brandon are in no way affiliated with Boston University, Boston University Athletics, or Boston University Wrestling. The money we raise for this project will only go to the project. We are simply trying to tell this story as well as we possibly can for the team, for the coaches, and ultimately, for Boston University.
Please feel free to contact us via email at email@example.com
And please follow us on twitter @ItHurts2WinFilm

This was a great summer for my family. My children were healthy and happy and spent a lot of time outdoors riding bikes, swimming and playing with friends. I had a good time gardening, taking evening walks and going on an all-too-rare horseback ride. Brian, my husband, spent a lot of time pounding the pavement in preparation of the Twin Cities marathon.
As always, summer vacation is drawing to a close too soon. Next Wednesday my kids will be back in the classroom and the old routine will begin. In a way we're already back in the routine because my sons have been going to football practice for several days.
As with other summers, I didn't get all of the projects completed that I had hoped to this summer and several will be have to be put on next year's list. I do hope to accomplish a few things on the list during the next few days when I'm taking some time off from work.
More important than getting projects done, though, will be spending time with my children before they head back to school. That's something that's way too important to be moved to next summer's list.

Salina The Terri Lynne Lokoff Child Care Foundation (TLLCCF) is proud to announce that Denise Swindon, teacher of toddlers at the County North Children's Center, Inc., Liverpool, was the recipient of the 2012 Terri Lynne Lokoff National Child Care Teacher Award. This exemplary early care and education teacher was selected from a pool of applicants nationwide. Swindon received an award of $1,000 on Thursday, April 19, at a special ceremony at Please Touch Museum, Philadelphia.
There are a total of 52 National Child Care Teacher Award recipients for 2012. Swindon's award-winning project which she will implement with a grant from the TLLCCF is Sensory Garden.
"The garden will consist of raised flower beds, separating out each sensory area to help children identify, explore and enjoy each of the five senses," Swindon said. "This horticultural experience will be child-friendly with sturdy, hardy and non-toxic plants. The children will be involved with every aspect of planning and maintaining the garden. There will be a Taste Garden with vegetables, herbs and berries, and a Sound Garden of grasses and seed pods as well as bird feeders and wind chimes. The Touch Garden will have a variety of textured plants, the Smell Garden will have a mixture of fragrant plants and the Sight Garden will incorporate color, movement and shapes. Some of the plants will attract butterflies. Each child will make a garden stone to be used to create a path connecting the gardens. Painted crockery, colorful banners and weatherproof signs will add to our special garden. We will read non-fiction and picture books about gardening, flowers and vegetables.

By all accounts, Rag & Bone's Marcus Wainwright and David Neville have already built a strong accessories division within their brand. Their signature chunky-heeled Newbury booties sell out season after season, their straw fedoras can be spotted all over downton NYC each summer and their utilitarian belts can effortlessly toughen up any ho-hum slipdress. Now, Racked reports, they'll be adding handbags into the mix.
We remember spotting several models carrying boxy two-toned leather bags on Rag & Bone's Fall 2012 runway and hoping they'd make it to the sales floor. Given this news, that could well be the case. After all, the new carryalls are slated to ship along with the label's fall collection. We'll be interested to see whether the design duo chose to tweak their runway originals—and no matter what, we're pretty sure we'll be ordering one of these new bags for ourselves.

The Endogenous Determination of Time Preference
The authors model a consumer's efforts to reduce the discount on future utilities. Their analysis shows how wealth, mortality, addictions, uncertainty, and other variables affect the degree of time preference. In addition to working out many implications of the model, the authors discuss evidence on consumption, savings, equilibrium, and the dynamics of inequality. They claim that most of that evidence is consistent with the predictions of their approach. Copyright 1997, the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

A delegration from Greenville, N.C., takes a tour of downtown Greenville on a recent weekday. Such visits from other cities are becoming increasingly common as the city's reputation for revitalization has grown. / Heidi Heilbrunn/Staff
Mayor Knox White stood in front of about 25 visitors from Greenville, N.C., and recounted his campaign to tear down a bridge that had been obscuring a downtown waterfall and spend $13 million to create Falls Park.
The story is well-worn for anyone who�s spent much time around White, but the folks listening to the mayor on this early September day were hearing it for the first time.
�Politically, it was very difficult,� White said, underscoring the point that cities must be willing to take risks if they hope to revive their downtowns.
Local developer Bob Hughes also spoke to the North Carolinians and led them on a tour of his RiverPlace development and over Liberty Bridge.
It�s a scenario that has played out repeatedly in recent years as Greenville�s reputation for urban renewal has grown, prompting other cities to come calling in search of secrets for revitalizing their downtowns.
A string of cities, including Birmingham, and Columbus, Ga., came to Greenville even before the city here began keeping track of the visits in 2005.
Since then, 55 cities in 16 states and Canada have come, including Jacksonville, Topeka, and Chattanooga, according to city records.
Hosting the groups became such a burden to the city�s seven-member economic development department that it called on the Greenville Chamber for help two years ago.
Now the city and Chamber have an established protocol for handling the steady stream of visitors. It includes a questionnaire to find out what they want to see and a list of local officials and developers who can meet with the delegations.
�I don�t think a month goes by that we don�t get an inquiry from someone who wants to come,� White said.
Hank Hyatt, the Greenville Chamber�s vice president for economic development, said he and city officials are trying to limit the number of visits to no more than 12 a year �because it does take a lot of time and resources to manage.�
So far, Greenville has not followed the example of Portland, Ore., where a dedicated organization called First Stop Portland hosts such delegations and charges fees to recoup its costs, the assistant director said.
Hyatt said most of the trips to Greenville are organized by chambers of commerce.
Frequently, the delegations include mayors and city council members and representatives from downtown revitalization groups.
�They�re looking for inspiration. They�re looking for ideas,� Hyatt said. �They�re looking for what worked and what didn�t work, and hopefully make a difference in their own communities.�
Hyatt said the number of people in the delegations has ranged from 15 to more than 200.
Typically, the visitors meet with city officials and developers and tour Main Street by foot, bus or trolley.
Hyatt and his staff help draw up the itineraries, tailoring them to the specific interests of each group.
Some of the visitors want to tour the Next Innovation Center, the International Center for Automotive Research or BMW.
Almost all want to learn about downtown Greenville, Hyatt said.
Spreading reputation
The number of delegations to Greenville has grown with the number of magazines and awards that have recognized downtown.
The magazines include Forbes, which listed Greenville as having one of �America�s best downtowns.�
Travel + Leisure magazine called Greenville�s Main Street one of �America�s Greatest,� while Atlanta Magazine said it was �the coolest Main Street in the South.�
Awards for Main Street have come from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the American Planning Association.
The Urban Land Institute selected Falls Park as a finalist for its Urban Open Space Award in 2010, along with parks and plazas in Seattle, Boston, Pittsburgh and New York.
The ULI award was created by Amanda M. Burden, chairwoman of New York City�s Planning Commission and director of its planning department, who visited Greenville for the first time as part of the award process, according to White.
Greenville�s reputation has also grown by word of mouth, with some of the recommendations coming from Ed McCallum, a local site consultant who works downtown.
McCallum�s company, McCallum Sweeney Consulting, helps major corporations such as Boeing, Nissan and Michelin find locations for new facilities.
His work takes him on business trips around the country and brings a steady stream of officials to his RiverPlace office looking for an advantage in industrial recruiting.
McCallum said people who come to his office are sometimes so impressed with downtown that they ask for local contacts to learn more.
On business trips, McCallum said he finds himself talking to officials about the connection between industrial recruitment and a community�s quality of life, including a vibrant and cosmopolitan downtown. When asked for examples, McCallum said he mentions Greenville.
�It just comes up in conversation,� he said.
McCallum recalled recommending Greenville�s downtown to officials in Topeka, Waco and Roanoke, as well as to the mayor of Lexington, Ky.
Biggest delegation
The largest delegation to come to Greenville so far � and the only one to charter a plane � arrived from Lexington, Ky., for a three-day visit in June 2011.
The group of more than 200 visited BMW and the automaker�s test track in Greer before heading downtown, where they slept at the Hyatt and dined at Zen.
The visitors had their choice of information sessions at the Kroc Center, Falls Park, the Next Innovation Center, ICAR, or the Metropolitan Arts Council.
Or they could join a walking tour of downtown led by Hughes.
The group included Lexington Mayor Jim Gray, who said he was familiar with Greenville because the company he used to run, Gray Construction, built BMW�s latest assembly line in Greer.
�Seeing what Greenville has done with its downtown, its urban space, is a real touchstone for cities our size,� Gray told GreenvilleOnline.com.
Gray said he collects contemporary art and was intrigued to see the red sculpture by Joel Shapiro at one end of Liberty Bridge.
�Pretty fascinating having an outdoor sculpture by Joel Shapiro in a Southern city,� he said. �He�s an internationally recognized artist. I was walking across that bridge, and I heard two foreign languages, German and Spanish.�
In May, Huntsville, Ala., sent one of eight delegations that have come to Greenville so far this year.
The group of about 50 included Mayor Tommy Battle and representatives from Huntsville�s chamber of commerce, arts council and young professionals group.
A reporter from a Huntsville television station attended as well.
The trip was sponsored by Big Spring Partners, a nonprofit organization dedicated to downtown revitalization.
Philip Dotts, a Huntsville businessman who helped plan the trip, said members of the group had heard about downtown Greenville and he�d read an article in Garden & Gun magazine.
Dotts, a partner in a financial advisory firm, said he has friends in Greenville and once owned what is now the Westin Poinsett Hotel at a time when the city was trying to arrange for its redevelopment.
�Greenville�s got a great buzz and has a terrific reputation of a forward-thinking city that�s trying to focus on its core area,� Dotts said.
The visitors from Alabama attended the Artisphere arts festival and visited various sites downtown. They also met with city officials and Greenville developers David Glenn, Charlie Whitmire and Danny Joyner, according to an itinerary.
Value to Greenville
Ben Haskew, president of the Greenville Chamber, said he looks at the visits like small conventions, bringing business to downtown hotels, restaurants and shops.
The other benefit is the positive publicity generated as news outlets from the visiting cities report on the trips, sometimes traveling to Greenville themselves, Haskew said.
�It�s helping to get a message out there,� he said. �It�s very positive.�
Charles Reyner, broker-in-charge at Windsor Aughtry Co., the Greenville real estate development company, said his firm landed new work in Roanoke after a delegation from the Virginia city twice visited Greenville to learn about downtown redevelopment.
Reyner said the Virginians stayed in two hotels that his company developed downtown � the Hampton Inn & Suites and the Courtyard by Marriott � and he talked with them about public/private partnerships at the city�s behest.
Reyner said he exchanged business cards with the visitors and that led eventually to a $15.5 million project to develop a Hampton Inn & Suites on top of a municipal parking garage in downtown Roanoke.
Chris Stone, president of the Greenville Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the value of the visits is �earned reputation� for Greenville as the delegations return home and share their impressions of Greenville with their counterparts in other cities.
The trips have created a �sizable little audience out there, saying �Yeah, I�ll tell you what. Greenville has really got it going on,� � Stone said.
At this point, city officials and local developers are well practiced in answering questions from the delegations about how they revitalized downtown.
Over the years, they�ve polished their answers and can now quickly run down a checklist of �best practices� over lunch at a downtown restaurant or during presentations at City Hall.
What they share
The city of Greenville has repeatedly teamed with developers to spur redevelopment, offering tens of millions of dollars in public improvements to go with private investment.
The city has done that up and down Main Street for three decades, starting with a $2.6 million contribution to the Hyatt complex, the first major revitalization project in the early 1980s.
The policy continues to the present with the city having pledged $4 million worth of improvements to Piazza Bergamo, the public plaza right next to the One development under construction in the middle of Main Street.
Over the years, the city�s contributions have included discounted property, sidewalks, landscaping and light posts. On many occasions, the city has built parking garages, lifting a major burden from developers� shoulders.
Cities that hope to revitalize their centers must work with the private sector �and be prepared to spend money on infrastructure to help make projects happen,� White said.
That�s commonplace in Greenville, but it�s �a foreign concept in some cities,� he said.
Greenville officials also attribute their success, in part, to insisting on various types of development � housing, shops, hotels and entertainment venues in addition to office towers.
The mixed-use development helps keep Main Street bustling at all hours, city officials say, instead of dying on nights and weekends after the office workers leave.
To encourage developers to build housing, the city held out choice parcels of city-owned land and built parking garages. That spurred condos and apartments at 400 North Main, Poinsett Corners, Bookends and 100 East.
City officials also worked to recruit so-called �destination retail� � big-name stores that draw people from around the region � scoring their first success with Mast General Store.
White recalled calling John Cooper, president of Mast General, out of the blue to tell him about the creaky wooden floors and a decorative metal ceiling in a building the city owned on Main Street.
Two years later, the company opened its first store outside of North Carolina in the building.
White said the city also insisted on retail being part of the mix at the One development � a position it was able to sustain because it owned part of the development property.
As it turned out, One developer Bob Hughes included ground-level retail space on all four sides of the twin-tower development.
Last year, he announced that a second destination retailer would be among the tenants, Anthropologie.
City officials also say they�ve helped make Main Street vibrant by organizing various events to draw people downtown.
The first recurring event was a noontime concert series launched at Piazza Bergamo in the 1980s, said Angie Prosser, the city�s director of public information and events.
It was called Bag Days, and the idea was for downtown workers to bring a bag lunch and listen to music during their lunch breaks, she said.
Later, the city moved the concerts to the amphitheater behind the Peace Center and scheduled them for evenings, Prosser said. The series continues to this day under the name Reedy River Concert Series.
Also in the 1980s, the city launched a Friday evening concert series at Piazza Bergamo called TGIF.
�We were trying to get those people who worked downtown to stay downtown after work and have a happy hour and put some life into the streets,� Prosser said.
The event was �kind of a flop� the first year, she said, but took off after the city rescheduled it for Thursdays and renamed it Downtown Alive. It continues today.
The city also organized Main Street Fridays, an evening concert series near the Hyatt; Moonlight Movies, outdoor movies at the Peace Center amphitheater or Falls Park; and TD Saturday Market, a weekly farmers� market on Main Street.

Application Agility Killer #6 – Botched app migration
Camwood Extends Contract with BAE Systems for Application Management
Closing the SAM Gap – reduce costs and run a tighter ship
Under-licensed organisations do the honourable thing and get out the chequebook Over-licensed organisations struggle (and usually fail) to work out what's going to wasteThe SAM Gap is an intelligence gap. And if you can close it then you can start to rationalise your software portfolio and/or your spend. You can turn the existing world on its head:
Under-licensed organisations can simply turn off the software they aren't using Over-licensed organisations can simply "true down" licenses to match usageSound too good to be true? Not if you get a real understanding of the software you own, use and need, and turn the standard stock take into something altogether more dynamic. You need to consider three questions as part of your SAM processes:
Is my software inventory deep enough? You need to understand issues of software categorisation, usage, supportability, compatibility, sustainability, desktop and datacentre
Can I match installed software to licenses owned? Most organisations simply can't make the link between what they are using and what needs to be licensed
How do we turn what we learn into everyday processes? The fact is that most of the learning from a standard SAM process isn't documented and is quickly forgottenIf you can't answer these questions then you're probably sitting on the expensive side of the SAM Gap. Knowledge Is Power If you can answer these questions (and we can help you there) then you can start to transform your business. You have the power to rationalise your spend and your portfolio. And you can apply your learning into a process of continuous business improvement. The intelligence gained in a SAM process flows from IT into procurement and management to enable better decision making on how assets are controlled, purchased and managed. Take a look at the diagram and ask yourself (or us) if you're ready to bridge the gap.
