Shumlin administration makes case against its own proposalBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | February 07,2013The most damning argument yet against the Shumlin administration's plan to cap welfare benefits has come from, well, the Shumlin administration.
In his budget address last month, Gov. Peter Shumlin said "Reach Up" benefits, as they're called, should be "temporary," not "timeless." He said the state should cap lifetime benefits at five years, a move that would save the state an estimated $6 million in fiscal year 2014.
But as is being reported today by VTDigger's Alicia Freese and Seven Days' Paul Heintz, the administration took a hard look at an identical proposal in 2012, and pretty much condemned it.
As Freese noted, a January report signed off on by Commissioner of Children and Families Dave Yacavone – the same guy urging lawmakers to adopt the plan now – concluded that capping benefits at 60 months "could leave families destitute and at risk and will create a large hole in the fabric of Vermont's safety net for those most in need."
In a passage pulled by Heintz, the report says that "the families who would be affected by this cut have three times as many barriers to gaining self-sufficiency as the general Reach Up caseload population."
"They are families with limited abilities and resources to recover from such a loss. The elimination of their financial assistance may put their children at risk and force a cost shift to other programs."MORE IN This Just InIn sifting through my ever expanding Pocket queue of things Ive been meaning to read, I found...

Savings of: $0.53 (5% off)
Posted by Reviewer3223628 on Aug 07, 2012
This used to be one of my favourite conditioners but now they have added alcohol denat. in it! Now it only dries your hair out... It's a shame. The product really worked well before.
Aubrey Organics makes best conditioners bar none
Posted by Reviewer2828609 on Jan 07, 2008
My dry/frizzy/curly/tangly hair loves Aubrey Organics conditioners, Honeysuckle and Island are my favorites, along with GPB occasionally; Aubrey Organics conditioners are thick, smell great, coats hair strands and stay put, even during a workout, and all are silicone-free, making them better for my hair than high-end brands I've tried like Keratase, Phyto.
Awesome Product and Healthy Too!!!
Posted by Reviewer1456135 on Jan 25, 2008
I have really dry brittle hair and was hesitant to switch from my Paul Mitchell conditioner. My old conditionre did a great job but when I found out it was made with toxins and carcinogens, I just had to switch. This product works great, my hair is soft and smells great. I will definitely be buying it again and again....
Wonderful Conditioner!
Posted by Reviewer2976742 on Feb 13, 2008
I have highlighted, dry hair and live in an area with hard water and a high chlorine content. This conditioner is fantastic. My hair is very soft and manageable and is in great condition. It leaves no residue and is not sticky or oily like some natural conditioners. I get many comments on how beautiful my hair is. I have used many high end brands and this beats them all. You don't have to use much either.
Posted by Reviewer3167882 on Jun 01, 2007
This is the most luxurious conditioner I've tried. Using this with the honeysuckle shampoo has made my hair so soft and silky and I no longer have an irritated scalp. The smell is just GORGEOUS!! I'm hooked
Great conditioner!
Posted by Reviewer1632346 on Jun 16, 2007
This is a wonderful conditioner! It smells great and makes my hair feel very soft and touchable. It also moisturizes my frizz-prone hair, making it feel soft and silky. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!
Best Conditioner
Posted by Reviewer2479860 on Apr 25, 2008
This is the best conditioner I've ever used. It deeply moisturizes hair, makes it look fuller and healthier, and it doesn't irritate scalp.
Staple Deep Conditioner
Posted by 5055177873930641291 on Feb 14, 2013
This has been my go to conditioner for over a year. It makes my hair soft. The scent is light and pleasant. It is a thick moisturizing conditioner, exactly what my kinky curls need! Sometimes I mix a few tablespoons of it with a little melted shea butter and a jar of baby banana food to make a hair treatment/mask.

Illustrations Library Catalogue >>
Having a children's library focusing on illustration is natural, because illustration is essentially a work of art. That connection is not always apparent to Museum visitors.
Considering art education as its mission, the Israel Museum Ruth Youth Wing for Art Education places great importance on the presence of a library children's literature emphasizing their illustrations. The Library's pioneering documentation and promotion of illustration of children's literature in Israel is a recognition of the role of children's book illustrations, since they are among the first works of art which children encounter. This is expressed at every level of the Library's activity.
The Library's unique character is apparent in the manner in which the books are catalogued and arranged on the shelves according to the illustrators' rather than the authors' last names. The challenge posed to the visitor by adhering to this principle proves its necessity: paradoxically, we recognize and remember an illustration seen in childhood — often with more clarity than the story itself — yet we rarely know the illustrator's name.
The Youth Wing Library houses more than 7,500 children's books from Israel and abroad. The collection includes books written in Hebrew, Arabic, English, and other languages. A number of the volumes are antique and rare. The Library also houses a collection of books addressing various aspects of art education. Visitors are invited to browse and use the books inside the Library, but the books are not put on loan.
The Library's target audience includes both children and parents — who often happily discover books which they enjoyed as children to share with their own children — and a variety of educators, students, and professionals.
The Library presents rotating exhibitions of original illustrations, sometimes in conjunction with the annual exhibitions mounted in the Youth Wing. There is a special reference room in the Library, in which visitors can peruse rare books and original illustrations from the collection.
All Youth Wing programs are in Hebrew unless otherwise stated.

Just a relaxing campground that we will return to when we're in this area again. Full hookups. Shaded on one side of the campground. Sweeping view from your campsite. Newspaper delivery to campsite a luxury . - Airstream 25
Sep 2013 - $55.00
Beautiful setting. The sites are tiered and hard to pull out of. Had to back up plus it rained so it was very muddy. The women running the campground are awesome. We "heard" that they are revamping their sites to be more accommodating. The pictures on their web page are a tad deceiving. But still awesome. - Ohioan
May 2013 - $50.00
This was possibly the most beautiful campsite we have ever had. It was huge with a wide open view of the tidal river. Lots of birds in the patches of trees and bushes left standing between sites. This campground is quiet (we were the only people there for most of our stay). Nearly all the sites are large and grassy. You would likely have problems pulling out if it had rained a lot. There is not much to do and pre-teens and teens would likely be bored but it would be fine with small children. We plan on returning. - sbradley

This is a contribution by Scott Mclay, author of one of the most popular link building posts ever on SEOMoz, gamer and builder of fast Beetles. I've heard Scott talk at a few local SEO events we both attend in Scotland and he's a clever and genuinely nice guy. You can follow him on Twitter here.
He currently works for Equator as an SEO Manager, and has previously worked for both agencies such as Caliber Interactive and working on freelance projects over the last 8 years.
So here we have it 2012 is coming to a close and in the 8 years I have been around the SEO industry I can honestly say this has been one of the most turbulent years I have witnessed. During the year we have seen what can only be described as a record number of official updates from Google, among which were countless Panda & Penguin refreshes, along with smaller impact updates such as the exact match domain update.
The number of algorithm changes made this year raises a few questions:
- Why did they do this?
- Did they achieve their aim?
Why Google did this
The end goal for anything Google does is to increase revenue and profits. Due to this a few questions have been asked by the SEO community which are mostly based on the viewpoint that Google are trying to phase out organic search and, in turn, SEO.
The truth is Google relies on organic search just as much as their PPC product for profits. If you look at it from a user experience point of view, users expect to find what they are searching for; if they don't get the experience they want from Google then there is a good chance they will go elsewhere, leading to a drop in profits and a greater loss of the overall search share to Bing.
Based on the above, the clear aim is to increase the overall search quality for the end user and start to claw back some of the users which have moved over to the other search engines like Bing, who are actually doing a half decent job in key search keyword groups.
What did they achieve?
With every update Google release we see quite a few websites either getting kicked out of the index or dropping for core keywords. But since these algorithms are based on the overall profile of a website, large companies which users expect to see on the first page are being affected while a large percentage of spam websites continue to rank – granted these spam websites only rank for a few weeks but the spammers just rinse and repeat with a different domain which lowers the overall search quality.
The annoying thing about these spam websites is that they seem to follow the exact same patterns which, from an SEO point of view it is pretty easy to spot, so questions need to be asked about why Google can't seem to crack down on these kind of activities.
Combating the Spam
The tactics being used by these spammers seem to be targeting a loophole in the algorithm designed to allow brands or products which have just been released and generate a large number of natural links over a few days, a priority to rank – a kind of buzz effect.
If you look at it from the point of view that, if a new iPhone is coming out, there will be a sufficient buzz around the products landing page, which a user would expect to find through their searches. But in order to rank the page appropriately a few of the subroutines around link quality would be bypassed until a later date – hence the 2 week lag on these websites being removed from the index.
Google needs to find a way to be able to process this kind of information quicker or potentially look for clear differences between a spammer's tactics and more natural link acquisition created by buzz.
What does 2013 hold?
Let's be honest 2013 is going to be more of the same – update after update and we as SEO's are going to have to adapt to changes at a faster rate than ever, but Google is always going to look for 5 things to rank a website for competitive terms:
- Clean and organised structure
- Content written for the user
- Social signals
- Brand signals
At the end of the day if you base your onsite SEO campaign around a great website that takes the user's needs and wants into consideration and generate an external SEO strategy around relationship building you will have nothing to worry about.
Merry x-mas and a happy new year!

Party stances are sharply defined
Published: Monday, November 8, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 8, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: A Times-News editorial (Nov. 4) urges the Congress and the country to close ranks. Admirable suggestion, but in the wake of the election we appear more conflict-ridden than ever. The division among the people has already intensified, demonstrated not only in the letters on this page, but as I pen this letter this early morning, in the background, I hear calls into C-Span reflecting a sharp division by the viewers on election results. People are digging in their heels.
What is worse, I fear the atmosphere in the Congress will not change.
President Bill Clinton's whopping tax increase in 1993 precipitated a shift in control of the Congress, which had been solidly in Democratic control for 40 years. Democrats have never accepted Republicans running both Houses. They are implacable and will remain so. Thus, we remain a polarized nation.
With each party's agenda and political philosophy sharply defined, this is probably worthwhile.
Among other things, Democrats are for higher taxes, a more active government, gun control, gay rights and a secular society.
Republicans promote an unfettered marketplace, limited taxes, school choice, a powerful defense and pre-emptive wars to free people of despotic rule.
A voter's choice is clear.

YES!!!! i fucking love this series!! i can't wait to watch the trailer online when i get out of work on saturday, as well as read up on ALL the VGA premiers taking place... they tackled jungle ruins in the first one, snowy mountains in the second, and now sandy deserts in the third... this series continues to try and push itself further into innovation... innovation in how it presents these environments... i am literally amazed at what they've accomplished so far in just two games...
this is easily by far the best exclusive series on the PS3... hell, the first two games are considered to be 2 of the best games for the PS3 as well... bring on drake every two years i say...
EDIT: OMG a new screenshot!! this is officially my new background now... also, here's a full blow-out article... including stuff about the plot, the direction, and gasp, high resolution 3D!!! too bad i still won't have a 3DTV by the time this comes out... i don't think i'll ever get one unless they lose the shades...

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Ramona wines shine internationally
The Kahles sell their wine and hold tastings at their winery by appointment only seven days a week.
Woof'n Rose has roughly 1,600 vines and produces 300 cases a year.
This is the third year the Kahles entered wines into the Finger Lakes competition, and they've medaled each time. Their wine has also been featured at Oya Restaurant and Lounge in Washington, D.C., for the past four years. The restaurant carries the 2008 estate cabernet franc reserve.
The 2008 reserve will also be one of three American wines from Ramona Valley pitted against three French wines from Rhone and Loire valley in a competition Friday in San Diego. The French American wine challenge begins at 6 p.m. at Fifty Seven Degrees, 1735 Hancock St. Tickets are $30 prepaid, $40 at the door.
The Cullens and the Kahles belong to the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association, the Ramona Valley Wine Association and the San Diego County Vendors Association. They say there is camaraderie between themselves and the other wineries in Ramona, and they often refer customers to each other.
"We want people to understand we like each other and we appreciate you coming up to enjoy the wine," Kahle said. "The more success all of us have the better it is for us individually."
Ramona takes on France
Ramona vs. France
The French American Wine Challenge on Friday will pit Ramona wines against French wines.
"We decided that a contest involving French wines and Ramona wines would be exciting and would be something akin to the now famous Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, where California wines ended up being rated best," said John York, president of the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association. The Ramona Valley was designated an American Viticultural Area by federal authorities in 2006.
The association is co-sponsoring the challenge with Alliance Francaise de San Diego, a cultural exchange organization. Other participants include John Alonge, owner of the San Diego Wine and Culinary Center and author of the "Wine Heretic" blog, along with several French restaurants and other wine-related businesses, York said.
The event will be held at Fifty Seven Degrees, a wine bar in Mission Hills. A panel of French and American judges will evaluate a French entry and a Ramona entry in each of three varietals — sauvignon blanc, cabernet franc, and syrah. They'll select their favorite of each varietal, then choose an overall best.
The formal wine judging will be followed by a public wine tasting in which invited guests will vote for a "Peoples Choice" in the same categories.
The competing sauvignon blancs are a 2010 from Milagro Farm Vineyards and Winery versus a 2009 simmonet febvre from France's Burgundy region.
In the cabernet franc competition, a 2008 from Ramona's Woof'n Rose Winery will face a 2010 thierry germain from the Loire Valley.
A 2005 from Edwards Vineyards and Cellars will face off against a Vidal Fleury from the Rhone Valley in the syrah category.
York selected the Ramona entries.
"We don't know if we can beat the French, but it should be a very interesting contest," York said.
The public tasting starts at 6 p.m. Friday at Fifty Seven Degrees, 1735 Hancock St. For information, call (619) 234-5757 or go to fiftysevendegrees.... Tickets can be purchased at afsandiego.org.

"Except for recordings made by famous tenors, the emphasis in classical recording has for the most part recently been on the work, and even more on the composer-the performer being spotlighted as the composer's most accomplished representative."
Related quotes
"Tenors are noble, pure and heroic and get the soprano, if she has not tragically expired before the final curtain. But baritones are born villains in opera. Always the heavy and never the hero-that's me."
"Some people say there was no jazz tenor before me. All I know is I just had a way of playing and I didn't think in terms of any other instrument but the tenor."
"The whole tenor these days is considerably different than it was a few years ago. In Colorado we're resigned to the fact that the disease is much more widespread; we are going to have to live with it."

Instead of tapping away at iPads and cellphones, several local students will walk nature paths, shoot arrows and cook hot dogs over an open fire on fall break.
This week, 14 local youths are being disconnected from their electronics and will spend the first week of fall break on outdoor activities at the Indiana FFA leadership center on 160 acres near Trafalgar. This is the first year the group has offered the camp during fall break, and leaders expect the number of children attending to grow in future years.
Another 47 children are signed up for a weeklong day camp at SS. Francis and Clare Catholic School, where they will get technology lessons in the computer lab, learn to bake and play games at the school and church on Olive Branch Road in the Center Grove area.
The Baxter YMCA on the southside is offering four programs and has 167 children signed up, compared with significantly lower numbers when fall break lasted a few days.
With the long school break starting Monday, local churches and community organizations have started offering camps, where children can spend the day learning or playing.
The FFA camp gives working parents a fun place to send their children for a week, Indiana FFA leadership center executive director Joe Park said.
"We're just trying to get them active and get them appreciating nature," Park said.
A two-week break can put stress on working parents with children who are too young to stay home by themselves during the day,
SS. Francis and Clare School president Rob Richardson said. Summer day camp programs typically draw 65 to 90 kids each week. But the 47 signed up as of Monday for the fall program is beyond what officials expected because the school got a slow start in advertising, he said. The school plans to offer a similar camp over spring break.
Gone camping
Indiana FFA Leadership Center
Where: 6595 S. 125W, Trafalgar
Cost: $260 for one week
Activities: Archery, fishing, boating, GPS scavenger hunts, arts and crafts. Children stay at the camp for one week.
Children: 14
SS. Francis and Clare
Catholic School
Where: 5901 Olive Branch Road, Greenwood
Cost: $150 for one week
Activities: "Celebrating Sweets" including reading the book and watching "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Children also get to make their own candy.
Children: 47
Baxter YMCA
Where: Four sites, including Pleasant Crossing Elementary School
Cost: $36 per day
Activities: Field trips, swimming, arts and crafts, games
Children: 167
"Most people like the balanced calendar, but it can be very difficult at times because of having to make arrangements for children," Richardson said.
Baxter YMCA has offered "school's out" camps for years, YMCA youth enrichment center program director Ashleigh Coster said. But when breaks were two or three days, attendance was low. This week, 167 children are signed up across four locations, including one camp at Pleasant Crossing Elementary School.
"A lot of parents try to strategically plan their breaks and can take a week off, but two is too many. Typically fall break, when it was three days, we would not see anyone," Coster said.
The Indiana FFA leadership center hosted a camp during spring break this year and had about 16 kids enrolled, Park said. He expects both seasonal camps will grow as more people know they're available. The leadership center, south of Trafalgar, is too remote for a day camp to make sense, so campers and counselors stay at the campground for the week. They hike trails, go fishing and boating and go on scavenger hunts around the site with GPS units.
Twelve-year-old Jacob Martin came to the spring camp earlier this year and wanted to come back for the fall. Jacob, who lives in the Center Grove area, wanted to see if there are any new activities at this camp.
"We went fishing, did archery, went boating. It was really fun, and I loved it," he said.
Kids who live on the north end of the county don't get to experience nature daily in the way the camp can offer, counselor Syx Russell said.
Someone who lives in Greenwood or Indianapolis doesn't get to have the same experience of seeing the stars in the same way as being away from other houses, businesses and streetlights.

Almost all Chipotle locations remained in business during the six month report period. Independents and regional chains operating casual dining Mexican/Latin concepts closed 4.83% of stores.

July 22, 2015
Restaurant chain growth marches on. Sit-down restaurant chains are displaying extraordinary sticking power and the ability to weather the fast casual growth years. As a group they don't open as many units, but there are some casual recent-growth standouts with recent 4 month growth spurts, The Greene Turtle grew by 4 units, Coopers Hawk Winery 3 units along with larger chain, Buffalo Wild Wings who has opened more than 40 U.S. locations in just the past 4 months. For a fast casual comparison in the same past 4 month time period, Chipotle has opened more than 120 U.S. locations, Dickey's Pit BBQ more than 30 and Blaze Fast Fire'd Pizza, 12.
April 9, 2015
Restaurant multi-units are continuing to open more stores in the fast casual and quick service sector than any other. The story hasn't changed in more than 7 years. The fast casual sector led by Sandwich and $8-$12 per person entree offerings are the continual big winners. However, closing reports and legal filings are displaying a consolidation in burger based chains.
January 7, 2015
Restaurant chain success remains robust. After a deeep in-house cleaning of restaurant chain locations, estimated closures have been relatively low at a rate of around 4% (annualized) compared to independently owned locations that hover around 10%.
November 5, 2014
Restaurants are hopeful after a difficult October as they hung on through the Ebola crisis and election results. Restaurant new openings counts were down slightly and open restaurants had a softening in their traffic. In the past two weeks new opening counts were greater than 1,000 per week.
September 2, 2014
New restaurant activity is perking back up. The Winter did not bode well for the new opening stream of activity. We saw an average of (approx) 720 new openings per week compared to (approx) 900 per week in recent years (since 2008-09') during the first seven months of 2014. In the most recent five week period, there were three weeks with more than 1000 new openings.

New openings and chain developments continue opening at a similar count regarding type and style as they have for the previous 8 years. However there has been a slow evolve back towards full service sit-down restaurants. Lately QSR openings are 63/37 compared to full service sit-down restaurants opening each week in the US. Multi-unit openings are 77/23 QSR/Sit down.

New restaurant chain growth in the frozen yogurt category has hit new heights. We believe it's driven by the $5 trend that began (and has remained) in 2007. Three chains have grown to more than 200 operating units each. We will be announcing those companies shortly.
February 19, 2013
Restaurants are continuing their crusade in blurring the lines between food consumed inside the home versus outside as supermarket food costs continue to spiral upward. Openings of casual and fast casual units are displaying abnormal regional growth in regions such as NY, MO and VA.
Other symptoms are displayed in regional menu variation with an "up-classing" of menus items in casual and even quick service restaurants. Those that used to serve chicken finger centric menus are now serving smoked salmon and exotic dishes with nouveau names.
January 15, 2013
The new year brings continued growth of fast casual and QSR as dominant sector leaders. On the other hand family/casual and upscale sectors have experienced a rebound and now count for 25-30% of rapid, recent growers. Prior three years percentages were in the mid teens.
October 16, 2012
Next week we will be publishing the latest Top 10 list. The restaurant landscape is much the same as fast casual dominates the landscape in continuum. A couple of casual restaurant growers are proving that good food at a reasonable price with friendly table service still works: The Greene Turtle and Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. They have increased unit growth consistently over the past three years and are experiencing rapid expansion.
April 17, 2012
We recently released our latest TOP growing restaurant chain list of companies with between 50-100 units. Typically our list is comprised of 20 companies. There were 10 companies in the preceding quarter who fit the parameters. Chain growth has slowed in the past 6-8 months for companies of this unit count size.
March 19, 2012
Growth remains strong in QSR and fast casual restaurant activity. Family/Casual restaurant chains are still maintaining counts of locations. New independent openings have recently displayed some new growth in cafes with more highly regarded food and food service.
So far overall counts of new activity is the same as last year within 1-2%. Contrary to widely published research calls regarding the casual sector, casual store chain locations remain in business and are improving.
January 25, 2012
We are forecasting the following for this year:
1) The number of food outlets will remain steady for another year. Type and style of growers in staunchly in the QSR/Quick Casual sector. Casual and upscale development of new restaurants will total less than 10%.
2) Technology will continue to improve operations. We expect rapid adaption of FOH technology services that lean towards customer interaction tools such as electronic menus, self and waiter assisted POS systems and improved feedback tools for management.
3) Customer service at chef driven restaurants is on red alert.
4) Snacks as meals continue. Food items/meals between $3-$8 will continue to be the common denominator pricing range.
January 3, 2012
Legal filings of new restaurant openings had a good end of year finish with a 3% increase over last year. We will be displaying our full list of predictions for 2012 and the results of last years predictions next week. As for the current state in the industry, we anticipate little change regarding type and style of foodservice operations that are growing and succeeding.
A sneak peek into two of our predictions from our list are: 1) Low cost menu item outlets combined with speed of service and genuine (customer concern) touches will continue to win. 2) The key word of the survivors is "culture."
October 6, 2011
Restaurant multi-unit operators in the lower per person check range continue to thrive. Growth marches on in this segment as low check averages collide with super market costs regarding day-part meal consumption. The few upscale and family/casual sector restaurants who are growing or maintaining year over year average unit volume continue to push FOH service as their vehicle to retain customers. Franchisors in the QSR and quick/casual sector continue to enjoy strong unit growth.
Additionally online ordering has made strides in relation to the Monday-Friday, 7AM-midnight office market helping their customers manage meal allowances. All in all, new filings and growth continues. We continue to see almost no discernible difference in new activity during the entirety of the recession period.
June 2, 2011
New restaurant filings have improved and increased in net numbers in the first six months of 2011 vs. 2010. Percentage increases are nearing 4% overall. The type and style of new openings continue to mirror the prior three years. $3-$8 per person check average foodservice outlets are the concrete standard of rapid growers. However late to the current call of today's business climate, other restaurant research firms in recent months have been echoing this fact we began to display in June of 2008. We see no reason to believe the majority of type and style regarding new openings will change into 2012.
March 11, 2011
New BBQ restaurant openings grew by 10% in 2010 and are currently tracking a 20% increase in 2011 from 2010. Watch for continued development in this cuisine type as multi-unit operators emulate their efforts.
February 08, 2011
In the prior year restaurants grew at an overall rate of 1.01% according to new opening data. There was a 12% greater number of single-unit independent openings versus chain openings. Currently QSR remain the dominant category of growth.
November 23, 2010
Drinkable food and juice chains are hot as check averages have hit bottom. Companies who are replicating units are in the sub $5 PPA. A large percentage of chains who are expanding are juice or yogurt based. Our recent November Top 20 list and other recent Top 20 lists reveal this certain trend. All in all, restaurants have continued to open in similar amounts as in the past five years.

About the Ticket Supplier: Boston Symphony Orchestra
The Boston Symphony Orchestra gave its inaugural concert on October 22, 1881, and has continued to uphold the vision of its founder, the businessman, philanthropist, Civil War veteran, and amateur musician Henry Lee Higginson, for well over a century. The Boston Symphony Orchestra has performed throughout the United States, as well as in Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, South America, and China; in addition, it reaches audiences numbering in the millions through its performances on radio, television, and recordings. It plays an active role in commissioning new works from today's most important composers; its summer season at Tanglewood is regarded as one of the world's most important music festivals; it helps develop the audience of the future through BSO Youth Concerts and through a variety of outreach programs involving the entire Boston community; and, during the Tanglewood season, it sponsors the Tanglewood Music Center, one of the world's most important training grounds for young composers, conductors, instrumentalists, and vocalists. The orchestra's virtuosity is reflected in the concert and recording activities of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, one of the world's most distinguished chamber ensembles made up of a major symphony orchestra's principal players, and the activities of the Boston Pops Orchestra have established an international standard for the performance of lighter kinds of music. Overall, the mission of the Boston Symphony Orchestra is to foster and maintain an organization dedicated to the making of music consonant with the highest aspirations of musical art, creating performances and providing educational and training programs at the highest level of excellence. This is accomplished with the continued support of its audiences, governmental assistance on both the federal and local levels, and through the generosity of many foundations, businesses, and individuals.

I am converting an ASP.NET MVC3 project to MVC4. I was trying to find the best approach to work with StructureMap and MVC4. I've found a couple of solution which might work, but haven't tried them yet.
The first solution is very simple and lightweight. The second one (Structuremap.MVC4) depends on WebActivator for the startup.
What is the better and simplest approach? Do I still need to bootstrap everything and set the DependencyResolver with the WebActivator?
Thanks for your help.

Last weekend, the 3 rd Round of the Cyprus 1:8 Nitro Buggy was held at the Navounita track in Pafos. The weather was perfect and the track was very tuff with no dust.
Right from the start of race, our team drivers were very fast. Our young driver and last year champion, Savvakis Milikouris managed to take an easy TQ. During the A-Main finals, Milikouris made a mistake and his teammate Antros Lemesianos took the lead. With a perfect, mistake free driving he managed to win his debute race with brand new XB9 2013 Specs. Antros Lemesianos is former Champion and recently moved from the JQ team to join XRAY.
All of our drivers were very happy with their results and they are looking forward for the next and the final championship race. At this moment, Savvakis Milikouris and Antros Lemesianos , both with XB9 are leading the Championship.

This week on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, G-Eazy arrives at #3 with These Things Happen. Meanwhile Linkin Park's The Hunting Party falls to #9 and Ab-Soul's These Days... arrives just outside of the Top 10.
G-Eazy's These Things Happen Arrives At #3
G-Eazy, a rapper who was raised in Oakland, California and moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, is #3 on the chart with These Things Happen. The album sold 46,091 units in its first week of availability, placing it just behind new albums by Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith. Earlier this year, G-Eazy spoke with The Source about the These Things Happen. "It was really a reaction to this crazy lifestyle we are living right now," he said. "Being on the road almost all year and every night you sell out a show its kind of a mind fuck in itself. It's like You work for something for so long so when it finally starts to happen your reaction is kinda crazy. You know, we would have these wild nights on tour then you would wake up the next morning like, 'Fuck, these things happen.'"
Linkin Park's The Hunting Party Remains In Top 10
Linkin Park's The Hunting Party fell to #9 this week, following its #3 placement last week. In its second week of availability, The Hunting Party has sold 28,815 units, a 74 percent decrease from its first week sales. Overall, the album has moved 139,414 units. During an interview with HipHopDX this year, Linkin Park rapper, singer and producer Mike Shinoda explained how collaborator Rakim influenced the band. "He's an artist whose respected but not mentioned really in Pop culture even though he is the Godfather of a lot of things in Hip Hop," Shinoda said of Rakim. "He's kind of a bar by which lyricists are measured, but the times have changed. He's not gonna make a Pop music song for people to dance to and shit. He refuses to do it, and that's how we felt on this record. We didn't wanna play by the rules and make a Pop record, we don't have it in us. I think it was what we connected on immediately and why he came all the way from New York to record with us."
Ab-Soul's These Days... Lands At #11
Ab-Soul's These Days... sold 21,812 units in its first week of availability, allowing the TDE emcee to fall into #11. These Days..., which is available for streaming via HipHopDX, has been critically acclaimed. The project recently earned a 4 out of 5 in its HipHopDX review. "If TDE has an unheralded trait left it's an almost universally thoughtful approach to song sequencing," HipHopDX says of the effort. "These Days… feels complete by the end as another properly dosed project. Somewhere on the album, Soul projects his own self-worth: 'enlightenment from a low life that's more than likely high.' He's let the high filter out more of the revelation, and it sounds like a more accessible piece of entertainment than his last. It's not the call to arms some expected, but Ab-Soul is as convincingly conspicuous as he's ever been."

Can food boost your libido?
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D., February 10, 2009 - 3:36am
Can food really boost your libido? The skeptic in me says it can't be true, but the romantic part of me hopes that it is (especially this year when Valentine's Day follows a week of stress and long days at work).
For centuries, people all over the world have been claiming that oysters, chocolate, chile peppers and more so-called aphrodisiacs—including asparagus, bananas, strawberries and you-fill-in-the-blank—stoke sex drive. With my romantic dinner plans on the line, I eagerly read the facts and fiction Milton Stokes, M.P.H., R.D., found when he looked into whether certain foods really can get you in the mood.
Before you stock up on "aphrodisiacs" for your Valentine's dinner, check out the facts: Read on to find out if food can really get you in the mood.

The SMAX Unofficial patch PLUS includes latest Scient's Unofficial patch for SMAX (see http://www.civgaming.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7511) and it adds several bug fixes on top (see release notes below).
Download: SMAX unofficial patch PLUS
I finally found some time and ported a few fixes (from my previous work on SMAC) to SMAX, as I promised.
The highlight is the fixing of the infamous energy stockpile bug and of the children creche (and brood pit) combat bonus bug. I decided to include the better terraforming algorithm from smac patch as well. The old terraforming is not exactly a bug per se, but the AI behaves so stupidly, that I simply felt obliged to do the hard work of transmitting a whole part of the code in SMAX as well.
The patch could not be tested (I have not a working copy of SMAX on my hard drive), but it should work allright. Still, a backup of your data is recommended. Unzip the patch into your SMAX directory, overwrite - and enjoy.
release notes
version a
- unit limit, changed by scient, is back (crashed the game)
- automatic energy stockpiling bug is fixed
- swapbase bug, which made the AI swap bases in a ridiculously bad deals
- AI basic terraforming (and automated basic terraforming) completely rebuilt, should be more competent
- children creche, brood pit combat bonuses now work like they should

2 NATO peacekeepers wounded in Kosovo
ZUBIN POTOK, Kosovo A German NATO officer and a soldier were shot and wounded in a clash with Serb protesters in northern Kosovo on Monday after the military alliance's troops used heavy machinery to remove trucks and buses blocking a main road in the tense region, an official said.
The shooting near the town of Zubin Potok, some 60 kilometers (40 miles) northwest of Pristina come after months of tensions, following a decision by Kosovo's authorities to extend their authority in the areas under de-facto Serb rule.
For months Serbs have used soil, rock and concrete barriers to block any such moves. NATO has threatened to remove them because it cut off land supply to a military base in the north. NATO has ultimate authority over security in Kosovo.
German and Austrian peacekeepers involved in the Monday operation fired rubber bullets and tear gas and used water canons and pepper spray to disperse the crowd of Serb protesters trying to stop the soldiers from removing the roadblock.
"The commander of the battalion was shot and another soldier was also wounded," said NATO spokesman, Lt. Col. Uwe Nowitzky.
In Berlin, a German military spokesman Lt. Col. Manfred Baumgartner told The Associated Press that the wounded officer and the soldier serve in the Bundeswehr. He said they were shot from the crowd of Serb protesters.
The two were sent at the U.S. military base in eastern Kosovo, Camp Bondsteel, for treatment, NATO said.
At NATO's headquarters in Brussels, the alliance said it was concerned about the violence and that it would carefully monitor developments in the northern country's north.
"The use of violence against (NATO) troops is unacceptable," spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said. "We urge all parties to exercise restraint and cooperate fully with all international actors on the ground to ensure freedom of movement without delay."
At least two injured Serb demonstrators were carried by medical workers to a nearby hospital, an AP reporter at the scene said. Serb media said dozens of Serb demonstrators sought medical help.
AP video shows peacekeepers in riot gear using batons to push a crowd of Serb demonstrators away from barbed wire stretched across the road, and then spraying them with pepper spray.
Some soldiers are seen to climb on top of buses that were initially part of the roadblock, and then fire rubber bullets at the demonstrators. The demonstrators used clubs to hit the peacekeepers and pelted them with rocks.
NATO said its soldiers are now under instructions to fire live ammunition if they come under attack.
On Tuesday more than 20 Portuguese and Hungarian soldiers were injured in a similar operation, one of them seriously.
The latest violence erupted two days before Kosovo and Serbia delegations meet in Brussels for EU-mediated talks to discuss regional cooperation and border management. It also comes a day before the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon presents the Security Council with a regular report about Kosovo.
In the report made public on Monday, Ban said unresolved issues between Kosovo and Serbia "constitute a threat to the region's peace and stability" and warned of "an escalation of tensions and outbreaks of violence."
Serbia's President Boris Tadic appealed to NATO and Kosovo Serbs against violence in northern Kosovo, saying it jeopardizes a compromise between Belgrade and Pristina on the "sustainable" resolution of the crisis.
The EU is in charge of technical talks between Kosovo and Serbia that seeks to soften the divide, but no tangible progress has been made so far.
Kosovo authorities said in a statement on Monday the talks were crucial because they take place ahead of the bloc's Dec. 9 decision on whether to grant Serbia candidacy for EU membership and also start talks with Kosovo to eventually remove visa requirements for travel in some EU member states.

excellent location, nice staff. elegant disign of hotel and rooms, spacios, clean. we loved it!
Very kind and helpful staff. The Hotel is clean and modern.
Breakfast is very poor. No elevator, Wi-Fi doesnt work in the room.
Food is good.
About 30 minute walk to town.
The excellent buffet breakfast offered a lot of choice. The room was very spacious.
Kindness of staff, cleanliness, very situable for a family with dogs!
The hotel staff is very kind, food is good, rooms are nice, comfortable and clean etc.
The hotel is nice, clean and well equipped. There is also small outdoor swimming pool in the case if you don't want to walk to the beach. The hotel staff is very kind and helpful.
The hotel is rather expensive and more flexibility from the owners could be expected. Value for money is poor to fair for the three-star hotel.
excellent staff, excellent cleanliness, excellent breakfast
I was expecting rooms to be a bit more luxurious, considering the price of the hotel and comparing that to other european hotels I have recently stayed at
View to the coast, sourranded by trees, to make romantical walk ater supper, practical distance from the town in a green, silent area.
It was a bit noisy: truck unloading right at the entrance, room noise insulation is not really succesful - probaly it was because of the thin door, rolling shutter operating was loudly.
Very relaxing because of the facilities (spa, aromatherapy massage, various body treatments on offer) and genearl ambience of the place and its location - close to beach, pine woods. Superb choice of food (some of it cooked to order) at breakfast and dinner, served either on the terrace or in the dining room;in fact, I've never stayed anywhere with such a wonderful choice on offer! Great value too - dinner cost only 3.30 euros per night! As for the bedrooms: there wasn't much difference between the rooms with balcony/sea view and the ones without the sea view, but it made such a difference to look out onto the sea, rather than an uninteresting car park (experienced both types of room during my stay). So, go for the sea view type definitely
Took at least half an hour to walk into the centre of Mali Losinj - though there were hourly buses in the morning and evening (none in the afternoon!)
Wonderful holiday. Apartment was new and clean, beds comfortable. Both the breakfast and the dinner were tasty - maybe even too much to eat. I liked everything, I hope to be able to visit next year again.
Dinnertime the restaurant was crowded, it was not easy to find a table. There was nice vegetarian dishes, but I would have rather had them warm. Dinner was 7 - 9 p.m., perhaps 6.30 - 9.30 would be better to feed so many people.
Hotel Location was great!
hotel a bit dated. Mass tourism hotel with no fridge and air conditioning in the room.
It was more than O.K., very good locartion, nice people...the whole exp. nice, I will return....
The fact that the hotel is right on the beach. Breakfast and service are great.
good position, staff very kindly, breakfast was good and rich ( international), room was very clean, meal was very good
Breakfast by riviera. Excellent! Dogs allowed. Even more excellent!
No, everything was fine.
They put us in a different hotel for reason unkown. The place was fabulous.
