Mayor's Office
April 2016
It was great to welcome the Burlington High School boys basketball team to Contois Auditorium at the March 21 City Council meeting and congratulate them for winning their first state championship in eight years. With five New Americans, the team is a reflection of our diverse and talented community, and with only three seniors, they have a great chance at another strong run next year. Thank you to all the players and coaches Matt Johnson and Tom Barron for representing Burlington so well!
I am excited to share news of progress across the City over the past month.
City's two-step credit rating upgrade
I was proud to announce during the first week of March that Moody's Investors Service upgraded the City of Burlington's credit rating two full steps to A3 with a stable outlook, returning the City of Burlington to an "A" rating. Of the six ratings steps that Burlington lost between July 2010 and June 2012 in the wake of Burlington Telecom's financial struggles, three have now been restored in two upgrades over the last year. The upgrade is projected to immediately result in approximately $450,000 of net present value savings for Burlington taxpayers on a debt refinancing transaction that will be completed in April, and will save Burlington taxpayers and ratepayers millions of additional dollars on interest over time whenever the City pursues necessary and prudent borrowing.
This recent credit rating upgrade is proof that the commitment of the community, the City Council, and the Administration to restore Burlington's financial reputation is working. We are keeping dollars in Burlingtonians' wallets instead of wasting them on high interest payments and are in better position to pursue our goals as a community. While we have more to do in the years ahead to complete our financial turnaround, the fact that we have been able to make so much progress in a short time without service cuts or major tax increases is a tribute to the strength of the Burlington economy, the hard work and innovation of our management team, and the collaboration of our public employee unions.
The actions that contributed to the upgrades included:
· Voter approval in November 2012 of the $9 million Fiscal Stability Bond;
· Settlement of the $33.5 million Citibank lawsuit on terms favorable to Burlington taxpayers;
· Conversion of a 2012 unassigned fund balance of negative $15 million into a 2015 surplus of over $4 million;
· Elimination of multi-million dollar fund balance deficits in the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds;
· Improved financial operations at the Burlington International Airport and Burlington Electric Department;
· Three years of General Fund operating surpluses;
· Improved internal controls and financial management practices that have resulted in the reduction of negative audit findings from 27 in 2012 to four in 2015; and
· The creation of a City Council-approved Fund Balance policy and commitment to long-term infrastructure and capital asset planning.
City of Burlington named a White House TechHire community
Earlier this month I was happy to join BTV Ignite Executive Director Mike Schirling, Congressman Peter Welch, and many other local partners to announce that the City of Burlington had been named a White House TechHire community, part of a multisector White House initiative to link area employers with Burlingtonians, growing the local tech workforce and empowering community members with the skills they would need for well-paying jobs in innovation and technology. The City of Burlington and BTV Ignite will partner with local educational institutions and employers to train and employ 75 tech workers in 2016 and 400 tech workers through 2020. Key employers and training partners include the Vermont HITEC Institute for American Apprenticeship at Burlington College, Champlain College, the University of Vermont (UVM), Vermont Technical College, Community College of Vermont, the UVM Medical Center, the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Vermont Technology Alliance, among many others.
We are well-positioned to grow jobs of the future and foster economic development in the City and the region. The news of our community's designation as a White House TechHire City is validation that our efforts to build this critical part of our local economy are working and gaining national recognition, as well as local traction and focus with area employers. Burlington's TechHire designation demonstrates the importance of innovation and our collective drive to enhance tech capacity in Burlington and beyond.
This is exciting news for BTV Ignite under the recent leadership of Mike Schirling. Originally announced in October 2013, BTV Ignite's mission is to facilitate collaborative efforts between public, private, educational, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial partners to grow and attract tech-centric talent, leveraging Burlington's City-wide gigabit Internet infrastructure and 21st century application development to create the conditions for sustainable tech economic growth.
As always, I invite you to join me and share your ideas and concerns about the City at the Bagel Café on Wednesday mornings from 8:00-9:00 am or at numerous other community events each month. To stay informed about City progress and happenings, please visit www.facebook.com/MiroBTV. I hope to see you soon.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

just wanderin if anyone actually knew what the lightest frame was? i have no idea but i know they do make them around 5-6lbs.
just wanderin if anyone actually knew what the lightest frame was? i have no idea but i know they do make them around 5-6lbs.
Standard Bullitt, Kink Cielencki, DBI Patriot are your best bet, but if you are looking for something lighter than that go to http://thickbikes.com/ where they build you a custom frame out of any material that you would like.
where can i get a dbi patriot. and does dbi have a web site? thanks nick
DBI patriot can be found on www.danscomp.com Dirt bros website is http://www.dirtbrosusa.com/home.html
They go for around 260.
if u want light get aluminum
`~Fying Demon~`
... s&m stricker is really light and it has a euro bb
s&m laf
Don't get aluminum unless you are a racer, aluminum is not made for anything other that racing, the new S&M L.A.F (light as fu*k) frame is if not the lightest, one of the lightest frames on the market, its realy nice and weights in a 5 lbs. alot of good features to, like integrated head tube and the chain stay tubes are welded lower on the bb shell to accomodate a chainstay mounted brake and still run a small gearing

So, nickpark...You must have come to some kind of a solution by now.
He hasn't posted since June 2003, so I highly doubt that you'll get a response to that from him.
If anyone's truly interested, I can get you a custom BMX frame that would probably weigh 3lbs or less. But none of you race, so never mind.
I ride flatland - I'll take it.
It will be the most expensive 10 minutes you've ever spent on a bike. If the same OS tubing that's used on my tandem was used, the front triangle would be plenty strong. But I don't see how they can make the back end strong enough to take much abuse. Too bad, because I'd really like to get myself a custom Ti BMX frame.Originally Posted by BMXTRIX

Jim Hodges' Buoyant Monoliths: The Walker's Newest Outdoor Commission
Olga Viso
Feb 2012
What began as a sketch on Jim Hodges' studio wall—an image of a boulder with a small swatch of pink foil added—will become the newest addition to the Walker campus this spring. The circle of massive stones, collectively weighing 90,000 pounds and skinned with striking sheaths of reflective steel, will be the first major public work to join the Walker's green space since the 2005 expansion.
Postcards from America: We Don't Ask About the Oryx
Ginger Strand and Alec Soth
Feb 2012
Postcards from America, the newly published book by a group of five Magnum photographers and writer Ginger Strand, recounts a two-week road trip through the American Southwest in May 2011. Here, published online for the first time, is "Treasure: A True Story," a collaborative project from the book featuring Strand's writing and photos by Minnesota's Alec Soth.
Ice Land
Paul Schmelzer
Jan 2012
Uncharted territories, even in a relatively sparsely populated state like Minnesota, are few and far between. But each January, when the average temperature lingers around 7 degrees Fahrenheit, one such place comes into being, briefly, on the frozen surface of Medicine Lake, where artists reimagine ice-fishing shacks as the locus for a vibrant pop-up community.
Postcards from America
Paul Schmelzer
Jan 2012
One day last May, five Magnum photographers and a writer piled into an RV dubbed "Uncle Jackson" in Austin, Texas, and embarked on a nearly 2,000-mile road trip to California. Their goal: to document both the Southwest and improvise ways to work collaboratively. Here's a first look at the result, an editioned series of artworks collectively called Postcards from America.
Frank Gaard on Dionysus and Dualism

Tombstone for Phùng Vo
Bartholomew Ryan
Jan 2012
"Here lies one whose name was writ in water." So reads the inscription on a black stone with gold-leaf engraving that will be installed in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden next spring. A work by Danh Vo, it will reside here until the death of the artist's father, when it will travel to Copenhagen to mark Phùng Vo's final resting place.
The Oculus Inhabited
Paul Schmelzer
Dec 2011
Like some alien organism deep in the core of the machine it controls, Elizabeth Simonson's biomorphic, bead-based sculptural installation is recessed into the aluminum-clad ceiling just inside the Walker's Hennepin Avenue entrance. Commissioned for the space, which was dubbed the "oculus" by architects Herzog & de Meuron, the complex and intricate work is intended to suggest biological forms.
Nathalie Djurberg's The Parade
Eric Crosby and Dean Otto
Dec 2011
Primal and chaotic, Nathalie Djurberg's art "doesn't look like anything else out there," says Eric Crosby, co-curator of the artist's first major US museum show. In an interview, he and the Walker's Dean Otto discuss how Djurberg's claymation and sculptures fall outside conventions of both the film and contemporary art worlds, while channeling a "universality of experience that speaks to us all."

Even one of the wealthiest communities in the country isn't immune to homelessness. Montgomery County joined a nationwide movement Wednesday to find 100,000 permanent homes for chronically homeless residents.
John Kaine of Germantown isn't afraid to share his story.
"The drugs, not thinking right, and not making healthy decisions," he says.
Kaine says substance abuse had a ripple effect on his family and career, eventually putting him out on the street.
"Be up all night and then during the daytime trying to find a place to sleep," says Kaine.
In 2008 he made a decision to get clean and seek help, eventually finding a temporary home at the Home Builder's Care Assessment Center in Rockville.
"In 2009 of February I had my own place," he says.
That path toward recovery and eventually finding permanent housing is the goal Montgomery County wants to magnify.
"We don't want anyone to die in a homeless shelter. We don't want anyone to die in the streets," says Jennifer Schiller of the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless.
Local leaders and the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless have announced a new plan of action.
"This will be the first time that we'll be identifying those who are the most vulnerable and prioritizing them for housing replacements," says Susie Sinclair-Smith, the executive director.
That includes getting volunteers to help this November by conducting a survey of the homeless population, similar to the efforts in Fairfax in February. The goal is to get information directly from the source so the county can model services based on need, plus reach 100,000 placements nationwide.
"We reported 64 placements which we had accomplished since last fall and helped the campaign move over its 50 percentage mark," Sinclair-Smith says.
The homeless population currently stands at around 1,000 in the county. Kaine, however, is no longer a statistic.
"I'm a father and a grandfather," says Kaine. "They're happy for me. They have a place for them to come and see me."
Three-hundred people are needed to help with the surveys during the week of November 3. If you're interested, click here.

text: I surf internet a lot. Many a times I come across sites where I need to increase the IE security to protect from adwares and spywares. But the other times I need to decrease the security in order to continue surfing normal sites like Orkut, Facebook and all that. So my visit to Internet Options window is the most in a day. Every time taking a long route is big headache for me. Is there any shortcut for example some command line to open Internet Options window?

Ed Kroll
Thank you, operator and good morning everyone. Thank you for joining us on today's call. Michael Neidorff, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; and Bill Scheffel, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Centene Corporation, will host this morning's call. The call is expected to last about 45 minutes and may also be accessed throughout our website at centene.com. A replay will be available shortly after this call's completion also on our website at centene.com or by dialing 877-344-7529 in the U.S. and Canada or in other countries by dialling 412-317-0088. The playback number for both of those calls is 10023301.
Any remarks that Centene may make about future expectations, plans and prospects constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the Safe Harbor provision under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors including those discussed in Centene's most recently filed Form 10-Q dated October 23, 2012, and other public SEC filings. Centene anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its estimates to change. While the company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. As a reminder, you can find our 2013 earnings release dates on our website in the investor relations section. Also our next investor day is June 17, 2013 in New York City. Please mark your calendars.
With that, I'd like to turn the call over to our Chairman and CEO, Michael Neidorff. Michael
Michael Neidorff
Thank you, Ed. Good morning everyone. And thank you for joining Centene's fourth quarter and full year 2012 earnings call. In general, fourth quarter results were consistent with our guidance provided at the December 14's investor day when excluding higher than expected flu costs.
I will provide more color on the flu epidemic shortly. My comments today will include an update on the key issues and other topics discussed at our investor day. I will also talk about our recently announced acquisition Acaria, a strategically important specialty pharmacy organization. I will then turn the call over to Bill for details on our fourth quarter and full year 2012 financial results.
At our December investor day, we noted higher than expected medical costs associated with a much earlier than normal and more intense flu season particularly in Texas, which is our largest market. At that time we took down our 2012 guidance by approximately $0.15 to $0.18 per share to account for additional flu costs. However the flu hit even harder in the fourth quarter than originally anticipated. The fourth quarter included an incremental $0.30 flu costs compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. That was $0.11 above our expectations.
Our initial read of January indicates a flu costs are similar to the levels experienced in December 2012. Our original planning anticipated higher flu costs in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. Flu related costs are just one component of our total medical costs. Additionally, the most recent CDC data suggests that the flu season peaked in mid-January. Recognizing this we have not changed our annual guidance.
Next Kentucky, we believe the state's Medicaid program is not sustainable in its current form due to structural and policy flaws. The Kentucky loss was $1.71 per share in 2012. In October of 2012, Centene notified the Kentucky cabinet for health and family services that it was exercising a contractual right that it believes allows the company to terminate its Medicaid managed care contract effective July 5 2013.
Centene has also filed a formal dispute with the cabinet for damages incurred under the contract. That dispute is currently on appeal to the finance and administration cabinet. In addition, Centene has filed a lawsuit in Franklin Circuit Court against the Commonwealth of Kentucky seeking declaratory relief. On January 23, 2013 the Franklin Circuit Court denied the Commonwealth's motion to dismiss the case and retain jurisdiction of the lawsuit. The court stayed proceeds pending a formal written determination by the finance and administration cabinet, which is expected in late March. Recognizing that this case an administrative appeal and litigation we will make no further comments.
On the Texas, as we discussed at our December investor day, we experienced higher than expected medical costs in the fourth quarter in Texas. This was related to the off-cycle transfer of high acuity members in Hidalgo service area from (inaudible). In addition, we experienced higher than anticipated utilization in in the in-patient category in the rural service area. The 4% state-wide rating increase effective September 1 did not reflect the impact of these two issues. The Texas legislature is currently in session and supplemental funding for the Medicaid program is expected to be passed in the first quarter. We continue to work with the state to obtain and ensure premium adequacy.

"Liberals Petition White House To 'Abolish' Capitalism…"
Well, I guess the relative lack of signatories should be heartening. If you're a glass half-full-type guy, that is.
If alternately you embrace your own cenosillicaphobic masochism, you'll assume that the kinds of people who would sign such a thing are simply too stupid to find it — though they are, in fact, legion.
It's a pick em, really.

During a press conference intended to provide updates regarding the investigation into the bombing of the Boston Marathon, one individual present asked Massachusetts governor if the bombing was a "false flag" attack.
A false flag is a war term that refers to perpetrating an attack under the guise of the enemy for the purpose of making them look bad.
Senator Elizabeth Warren and Governor Deval Patrick were both in attendance.
"Why were people in the audience telling people to be calm moments before the bomb went off," the person asked, "Was this another false flag staged attack to take our civil liberties and promote Homeland Security by sticking their hands down our pants on the streets?"
"No," the Governor said, "Next question."

And btw, there's FREE SHIPPING in everything in the store now. KEEP reading to know why and the terms
The mail is having an awful trouble with the material they use for the express shipping, which is the one I normally use because it takes 15-20 business days and it comes with tracking number. So meanwhile...
The free shipping I'm offering is slower (though they say it's the same thing but without traking number) They have never lost any of my packages, but it can be very slow specially if you live in Europe or Australia. So it'd take 15 - 30 business days depending on where you live.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Homicide investigators in Saint Paul are seeking two suspects in the killing of a man on March 30.
Police hope circulating a pair of mugshots will garner the help of the public in locating 20-year-old Juan Martinez and 18-year-old Christina Washington, both of St. Paul.
Investigators won't elaborate yet on what links the suspects to the murder of 56-year-old Leonard Allen Christian Sr, 56, of Saint Paul. They do, however, say the two are to be considered armed and dangerous.
Christian Sr. was found shot to death just after 3 a.m. March 30 inside his residence in the 1000 block of West Central Avenue, near the intersection of Victoria Street. Callers reported hearing shots fired coming from the rear of the residence.
Photos and information on Martinez and Washington have also been forwarded to law enforcement agencies across the country through the use of a national database.
Martinez and Washington were last known to be using a 1997 Plymouth Voyager minivan for transportation.
Anyone with information on the case or the whereabouts of Martinez and Washington is asked to call the Saint Paul Police Department's homicide unit at 651-266-5650.

August 29, 2015President's Message: All's well that ends well
What a perfectly wonderful week for kids of all ages at Lake Hayward. Not only were the events well attended, but Saturday's Beach Games and Carnival were outstanding. Many kudos to Diane Nelson, Linda Nuzzo and all of the volunteers who made last Saturday a memorable event. Thank you for providing an unforgettable day for our children and those young at heart. As the season winds down, our last band and food truck event is tonight with Turkey Foot Band and Munchies Food Truck. Don't forget that the Third Beach Pot Luck us at 5 p.m. on Sept 5.
Our 2015 calendar of events would not have happened if not for the numerous volunteers in our community who offer their time, knowledge and love of the lake. Arts and Craft Nights, Bingo, Bands and Food Trucks, Cribbage, Dance Aerobics and our Lake Hayward week of festivities could not have happened without you. Don't forget the educational session on protecting our lake sponsored by our Garden Club and Lake Quality Improvement Committee who will continue their efforts and meetings throughout the year.
Special thanks to those who have planted and maintained the gardens on our properties – hard work for sure. I know I have not mentioned all of our events and committees, so please be sure to extend a special thank-you to all of your neighbors who made 2015 a special year. A special thanks to Don Smith, our Social Director for 2015.
Even though the official season is closing, the board continues to work throughout the year. Please follow our meeting minutes posted on the Lake Hayward website. Please remember the board is comprised of volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to conducting the business needs of our Association. We've made many hard decisions this year and received both scorn and praise for our efforts. It's not an easy task and we will never make everyone happy. We accept this challenge when we accept a position on the board. As president, I am ultimately responsible, but all decisions are made by majority vote of the board. We have no hidden agendas and continue to remain as transparent as possible. Our goal remains to properly manage the Association for the benefit of the whole community. If you have any questions, just give any board member a call.

Former Tottenham and Hull midfielder Marney received his marching orders for a tackle on Blues defender Paul Robinson shortly after the hour.
The match was poised at 1-1 at that stage before Marlon King fired home a last-minute winner for the visitors.
Having considered referee Darren Drysdale's decision over the weekend, Clarets boss Sean Dyche confirmed his desire to have Marney's prospective three-match ban quashed.
"We will be appealing," he said in a club statement. "We felt it was the wrong decision at the time and since then we have looked at the incident again in the cold light of day to confirm our belief.
"We've also sought a few opinions from other people that confirm our thoughts, so we will put our faith in the appeals process in the belief we can get the right outcome and have the red card rescinded."
Meanwhile, Burnley's home league game against Hull has been moved back two days to Monday, March 11 for live television coverage.

This hostel was nice, and I enjoyed the large kitchen. My only complaint was that the rooms had no keys, so other than putting some things in the lockers, the rooms did not have the kind of security that I expected.

I enjoyed my stay at Aventura Boutique Hostel in Budapest. It's well located in the centre, which was important for me, as I had official things to take care of. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The en-suite shower made it easier to keep privacy, as I only shared the shower with room-mates. The other travellers as well as the staff of the hostel were really friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped with fridge, hob, microwave and great coffee was made each morning.

A wealthy Democratic Party contributor says his donations had nothing to do with obtaining a boat-ramp permit for a coastal development he owned.
Gary Allen testified Tuesday at the State Board of Elections investigation into former Gov. Mike Easley's campaign and the state Democratic Party. Allen said he couldn't remember specifically a $50,000 check he wrote to the party in June 2003. Documents submitted earlier this week show Allen was concerned about delays in the boat ramp for the project called Oyster Harbour in Brunswick County. Allen told the board that the donation and a subsequent $50,000 party donation had no relation to the ramp's eventual approval. He said the construction to complete the ramp actually cost twice what he had expected.
The board also heard from Michael Hayden, Easley's former campaign finance director.

Skin Cancer Foundation RecommendationThe Seal of Recommendation is granted to products that provide effective UV sun protection and safely aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin.
Give your makeup the ultimate, translucent "finishing touch."
bareMinerals Mineral Veil was designed to be worn over bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation, and is your final step to achieving bare skin beauty. Buffed lightly over your bareMinerals Foundation or alone, Mineral Veil gives a translucentfinishing touch without the buildup or layering of pressed or loose powders that contain talc, waxes, dyes and binders. It morphs into your skin, infusing it with softness and light, giving the beautiful illusion you achieve with a soft-focus camera lens.
I'm not a pro when it comes to makeup and haven't tried many things so can't say this one is superior to anything else. I received it as a sample and sometimes wear it for fun. I can tell my skin tone is evener and nicer. The coverage is not very good but that's okay. It can give you a beautiful texture of your skin and that's cool.
This is a must after applying Laura Geller Balance & Brighten, I was using Too Faced Primed & Poreless for about 5 months. Finally ran out and decided I will not buy that product again as this is much much better. Live and Learn.
This is an awesome product, but must be used LIGHTLY !
Swirl a small amount of bareMinerals Mineral Veil, angle the Flawless Application Face Brush and swirl into the lid until all the Mineral Veil has been tucked into the bristles. Tap away excess. There should be no visible bareMinerals Mineral Veil on the outside of the brush. Buff the bareMinerals Mineral Veil into the skin in a circular motion, starting on the outside of your face near your cheekbone, swirling as you go. Buff around your face and then approach your forehead, cheeks, and nose.
This product can only be shipped to addresses within the U.S.
There are no DOT restrictions on the delivery of this item – you may elect to have this item sent through any of our delivery methods.
Sometimes it's those finishing touches that make all the difference. bareMinerals Mineral Veil is a unique exceptional product that is a true best friend to mineral foundations. bareMinerals Mineral Veil is brushed on after the application of bareMinerals foundations to help improve and extend the wear. bareMinerals Mineral Veil also absorbs excess oil throughout the day so that less blotting is required. bareMinerals Mineral Veil minimizes pore size and fine lines to leave the complexion with a beautiful, flawless finish. While some powders may interfere with the color of other makeup, bareMinerals Mineral Veil is translucent and won't leave a visible residue on the skin. bareMinerals Mineral Veil actually improves the look and finish of any mineral foundation.
bareMinerals Mineral Veil is a versatile product that can do much more than just extend the life of foundation. It can also be used on the eyelids and lips to help eye makeup and lip color wear better. bareMinerals Mineral Veil contains no fillers but rather pure ingredients that are actually good for the skin.
All skin types can benefit from bareMinerals Mineral Veil. However, an assortment of other versions of the bareMinerals Mineral Veil are available for special needs including a tinted version which is ideal for darker complexions, a formula with sun protection to prevent burning and damage, and a hydrating version for drier skin types and those in need of extra moisture. With so many choices, there's a bareMinerals Mineral Veil for everyone.
bareMinerals Mineral Veil produces the best results when applied lightly over the face with one of the bareMinerals top-quality brushes. It's important to remember the less-is-more rule when using the bareMinerals Mineral Veil. Start with light layers and add more if needed. Layering the bareMinerals Mineral Veil lightly is the best way to ensure a beautiful finish.

In days of yore, a trip to the meat counter yielded prime cuts of every variety imaginable. If you needed cooking instructions or suggestions, no problem, you needed to go no further than your chef-in-residence, the butcher, who would ready your purchase for cooking and reveal the secrets of how to prepare the perfect feast.
Today, the meat counter (or even the freezer case, for that matter) is a different scene: the case has expanded to include all sorts of prepared — dare I say "value added"? — delicacies. Perhaps the most plebian of these is the tried-and-true burger. But this is not just the chopped meat of yesteryear shaped into patty form. Oh, noooo, we're talking prime choice Angus beef or lean cuts of natural, hormone- and antibiotic-free beef or turkey or chicken, which is then mixed with a myriad of ingredients like bacon bits and blue cheese, Portobello mushroom, caramelized onion, pesto and parmesan, goat cheese, cheddar-horseradish, roasted poblano pepper…and the list goes on.
OK, so not all of that is considered healthy, but look what it's inspired. Other sections of the store have jumped on the bandwagon offering beautiful choices from salmon burgers to tuna burgers and you'll even find veggies burgers in varieties from black bean to quinoa — all with their own unique ingredients to dazzle the mind and tempt the palate.
Last week, I happened to be traveling along the Connecticut shoreline when I spotted a butcher shop. Since these are a rare commodity in 2009 America, I just had to stop. Imagine my delight when I counted 6 different value-added, prepared burgers simply crying out for me to purchase them for a backyard barbecue. Next to each of these little darlings, was a miniature variety: the slider. This shop even carried cute, little slider buns — a veritable find in and of itself since slider buns are not easy to come by for such a popular menu item.
Three pounds of burgers and sliders later, I emerged from my shopping ecstasy and headed straight to where I was staying. The fun began amid shouts of "put another burger on the barbie!" It was the perfect end to a perfect day, which I am sure I will repeat throughout the year in my own humble kitchen — barbecue or frying pan at the ready.

"Not A Remake Of Psych."
October 30th, 2008
I was unsure about this show when I first saw it advertised but after seeing the pilot, I was hooked. Simon Baker is wonderful as Patrick Jane, a CBI consultant. It has quickly become one of my 'must see' television programs. I would have given it five stars had the show developed the characters a little more. I feel it still has some work to do as far as each individuals history.

April 2010 Indie Next List
"The premise of this series is that every daughter of Wendy goes to Never Land in their youth. Gwendolyn longs to travel there not to meet Peter Pan, but rather Tink and the fairies. However, when she arrives, she is told that there is danger coming to Never Land and she may or may not be the cause of it! David Christiana's art is fantastic!"
— Emily Grossenbacher, Lemuria Bookstore, Jackson, MS
Gwendolyn Carlisle loves fairies, perhaps too much. On her birthday, she receives the precious "kiss" necklace, which has been passed down from mother to daughter ever since Peter Pan gave it to Wendy Darling. That night, Gwendolyn has her first tantalizing vision of Fairy Haven.
More than anything, Gwendolyn wishes she could be there. At last, Peter Pan comes for her. The instant they reach Never Land, she sets out to find fairies. But the fairies are not eager to meet her.
Then the evil Kyto, a dragon the fairies once helped to capture, escapes. He intends to destroy Never Land, starting with Fairy Haven. The fairies have but one choice: they must stop Kyto. As they begin their desperate quest—a quest that could be their very last—the fairies must decide if Gwendolyn can help or hinder. . . .
Infused with magic and feeling, this thrilling tale is the third in the celebrated series from Newbery Honor–winning author Gail Carson Levine.

Cardinal O'Malley Urges Church to Embrace Hierarchical Accountability
Following up on remarks to "60 Minutes" about the clergy sex abuse crisis and other controversial topics, Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley has stressed that the Catholic Church needs a system to hold bishops accountable and must "avoid crowd-based condemnations."
"We are all aware that Catholics want their leaders to be held accountable for the safety of children, but the accountability has been sporadic," O'Malley wrote in a column posted Nov. 19 at the website of the archdiocesan newspaper. "We need clear protocols that will replace the improvisation and inertia that has often been the response in these matters."
"Bishops also deserve due process that allows them to have an opportunity for a fair hearing," he added.
O'Malley's column was responding to both praise and criticism of his CBS interview broadcast Nov. 16 in which he said the Vatican needs to respond "urgently" to cases like that of Missouri Bishop Robert Finn, who remains in office despite a conviction in 2012 for failure to report concerns about a priest, the Rev. Shawn Ratigan, who was later convicted of federal child pornography charges.
The cardinal said Francis, who recently sent a Canadian archbishop to Finn's diocese to investigate, was personally aware of the situation.
In the "60 Minutes" interview, O'Malley also called the Vatican's investigation of American nuns a "disaster" and said if he were starting a church "I'd love to have women priests," but he added that's not what Jesus did. Both comments sparked strong reactions.

Like Fat Ther, like Son; Asperger Syndrome: Mike Was Diagnosed with the Same Condition as His Son Thomas
Byline: LESLEY GIBSON
Around a quarter of a million people in the UK have Asperger syndrome, aform of autism which affects their ability to relate to people. While the causeis unknown, there can be a genetic link. Five years after Jane Sales'sfour-year-old son Thomas was diagnosed, she discovered her husband Mike alsohad the condition. Here, Jane, 44, and Mike, 57, who live with Thomas, now 12,and Genefer, nine, in North Cheam, Surrey, tell their extraordinary stories toLESLEY GIBSON. Jane says:
MOST toddlers have tantrums, but Thomas's were so awful I often felt likerunning away.
Once, I nearly did.
We were in Sainsbury's and he was running around screaming, clearing tins fromthe shelves and throwing them everywhere.
I felt angry and embarrassed, chasing him around, trying to put everythingback, and just lost it. I carried him to a cashier and said: 'Please take mychild for a moment, or I'm going to kill him.' She was astonished. 'We don't dothat,' she said. But I insisted, saying: 'You have to. I need to calm down.' Ibundled him screaming into her arms and ran outside while other shopperswatched in horror. I managed to compose myself before going back for him. Afterthat, I had to strap him in his pram whenever we went shopping.
At home, if there was any change in his routine, he'd have spectaculartantrums.
The only thing that calmed him was looking at numbers. He was obsessed withthem and precociously good at recognising them, even aged two.
Mike seemed to understand him better than I did, and it was he who came up withthe idea of warning Thomas about any changes to his routine five minutes inadvance. This helped calm him down.
At Thomas's two-year development check, the health visitor laid out the numbersone, two and three and asked what came next. Instead of saying four, he readthe numbers as 123, and said: '124.' She was astounded.
I assumed Thomas was exceptionally bright. Yet in communication skills andimaginative play, he lagged behind. His language was good but, unlike otherchildren who'd babble away, he spoke formally, like an adult. He'd use unusualwords; aged five he would say: 'I'm looking forward to that with alacrity.' Andhe was often overly polite and sounded like a butler.
Facial expression, tone of voice and body language baffled him: if I becamecross and raised my voice or frowned, he simply laughed. Nor did he seem ableto empathise if someone was sad.
When Thomas went to nursery at two-and-a-half, I told the teachers my concerns.They called in an educational psychologist, who said he probably had Aspergersyndrome. It was actually a huge relief for me to have my fears over Thomas'sdevelopment confirmed.
His formal speech, difficulties understanding body language and obsessivelearning of numbers were all characteristics of Asperger syndrome. So was hisdifficulty accepting changes in routine. His tantrums, the psychologistexplained, were probably down to frustration at communication problems.
We were shocked but relieved to finally know why our son was different,although Thomas wasn't formally diagnosed at this point as his development hadto be monitored over the next few years.
Fortunately, his special needs were recognised when he went to school agedfour, and he was assigned a classroom assistant. At seven, he was formallydiagnosed, which is still relatively young.
Unfortunately, there is no medication or cure, but we were told Thomas could dowell at school and lead a normal life with the right educational support.
His classroom assistant was wonderful.
She would pull faces and say: 'This is how a happy face looks; this is how asad face looks; this is how I look when I'm angry.' Our daughter has alsohelped enormously with Thomas's social skills. Although she is two yearsyounger, Genefer has taught Thomas how to play and get on with others. …

A little incorrect I believe; data structures were added to GM because they operate faster than arrays for complex proceedures (i.e. what you'll probably require them for when coding a Pokemon game). The main advantage of using them is because to sort and order a 2D array requires a great deal of difficulty and large sections of GML whereas data structures have built-in functions to do this for you; which, is where you will observe a speed difference is - as the scripting required to sort a 2D array lags more than a ds function.

It is a mystery.
The way they do it in Pokemon is to use several rooms and make the boundaries of the adjacent rooms look identically graphically. Then all you need to do is define a blank room transition and it flows from room to room as if they were a single one. Hope that helps you out a bit.
