Cruise lines' increasingly common trend of adding annoying for-extra-charge onboard services (from coffee to sweets to premium ice cream) -- what we call the "k'ching factor" -- got a setback today when Celebrity Cruises reversed its decision to implement admission fees to thalassotherapy pools on its Millennium class ships. Call the reversal a testament to the power-of-the-people-on-the-Internet, where the topic has been the subject of hot debate on community boards and the like.
Background: After Infinity came out of her two-week emergency drydock in mid-June, onboard staff decided to make the thalassotherapy pool -- and the adjoining AquaSpa Cafe -- a fee-only (or free-for-suiteholders) attraction. Priced at $20 per day, $40 for three days, and $99 for the cruise duration, the decision made the ship's only under-cover pool -- since she's cruising Alaska, which can be chilly, this is no small thing -- off limits to the general passenger base.
Cruisers, both those who had sailed Infinity over the past two weeks and those booked in the future on Millennium class vessels (including the not-yet-launched Summit), complained, vociferously. The Cruise Critic boards contained numerous messages dedicated to the topic, not to mention protest emails to Celebrity executives.
And Celebrity not only read the emails -- and responded to them, an unusual occurrence in its own right -- it reversed its decision and admitted it was wrong. Writes Robert Keesler, Celebrity's VP of Guest Satisfaction, "during the past week, your dialogue with us has been focused primarily on our decision to introduce a fee for use of the Thalassotherapy pools on our Millennium-class ships (currently, Millennium and Infinity). And your feedback has led us to conclude that our decision was wrong. We made a mistake. As a result, we are reversing that decision. Effective immediately, there will be no charge for use of the Thalassotherapy pools on our Millennium-class fleet of ships."
The cruise line didn't stop there, either. It also promised that those who had paid the fees would get a refund (to the credit card used to settle the shipboard account).
Online wags, very happy to discover, at long last, that passenger feedback really does get heard, are debating over which cruise line they'll target next; we predict it might just be Princess, whose habit of charging a'la carte fees for Haagen Dazs on some ships has riled cruisers for years.

Zeiss ZF 35mm f/2 Distagon T*
35/2 Distagon Main Page
The 35mm f/2 Distagon is a workhorse lens, offering moderate wide angle coverage on full-frame cameras, and a slightly wide normal view on smaller-sensor cameras. It's a terrific all-around lens, nice handling and easy to focus in all light conditions.
The size and weight of this lens just feel great on a camera like the Canon EOS 1D Mark III, but it should feel equally at home on a Nikon D300 or D3.
Focusing is fast and accurate and notably easier than with the 25mm f/2.8 Distagon, probably due to the longer focal length and one stop faster aperture. Still, focusing in dim or low contrast situations poses the same challenge it does with any lens, so use care in such situations unless you have outstanding vision.
The shade from the 50mm f/1.4 Planar can be used on the 35mm Distagon on less than full frame cameras. This provides additional flare protection, though the 35mm Distagon has little need for it under most circumstances. But it might help keep a compact field kit a smidgen smaller when carrying several lenses.

But I couldn't help myself this time because this thread was pinned. you've overpaid for nearly everything on that list. This isn't a true comparison. I can buy everything at a cheaper price and I live in Los Angeles-- which is an expensive city. 1 can Campbells Vegetable soup was listed as $0.89 We now pay $2.19 for the same can. < Campbells at my local store was 4 for $5 > http://ralphs.mywebgrocer.com/Circular/RALPHS-209/002092805/Weekly/0/3 Fresh Haddock Fillets were $3.99lb.

Im not sure what you are trying to prove. If you are sincerely paying these ridiculous prices you need to stop shopping at Whole Foods or Bristol Farms (unless of course you are willing to pay those prices, but you obviously aren't because you are complaining). I hope my post has allowed you to see the REAL prices of today. [/quote] You can't compare prices in L.A. to prices in Nova Scotia. If I drive 6 hours to Maine I'd find cheaper prices too, but I'd pay for 12 hours of driving so is it worth it? [/quote]

1st thing I noticed, my wife and I have hardly changed anything about our buying and eating habits.
The 2nd thing I noticed was the crazy incrases we have had in prices.
1 can Campbells Vegetable soup was listed as $0.89
We now pay $2.19 for the same can.
Fresh Haddock Fillets were $3.99lb. Now $7.99lb.
4 litres of Skim Milk was $4.59...now $7.59.
1 loaf of whole wheat bread was $.99...now $2.99.
Fresh Green Pepper was $1.99lb...now $3.99lb.
Canned tomato juice was $0.99 a can...now $2.29 a can.
Obviously there was waaaaay more on the recipt, but I just can't believe the inflation. I'm sure many people have had to stop buying items the are used to buying, and change their life styles a great deal. I have not gotten to that point yet, but I'm feeling the pinch. It sucks.
Changes are needed.

Next-Gen Beauty: The Future Is Already Here
It used to be that if you wanted to get rid of stubborn fat, your only option was liposuction — a costly and invasive procedure that, if not done by the proper doctor, could go horribly wrong. Thanks to advancements in lasers, ultrasound, and even radio frequency, now a plethora of options can provide results in as little as one treatment, with no downtime or surgery involved.
The very first non-invasive fat removal treatment that uses radio frequencies, TruSculpt heats tissue by electric currents with a very high frequency. As Dr. Sadick explains, this means it can heat the fat layer without damaging the skin layers above, resulting in high efficacy and very low pain. "The fat cells are disrupted by this heat, and your body then absorbs the fat and disposes of it naturally over a period of two to three months," he says. According to Sadick, this treatment can be used on any areas of fat on your body that are "pinchable," and it's a great option for those with areas of fat that no amount of exercise or diet has been able to reduce. The treatment takes about 40 minutes and consists of the doctor holding the radio frequency probes against the sections being treated. Dr. Sadick says you will need two or three treatments over the course of two months in order to see best results, and that the cost per treatment is usually around $1,500.
One of the major issues with cellulite is that it's not just about getting rid of fat cells — you also have to address the breakdown of the connective tissue in the skin that caused the cellulite to happen in the first place, otherwise it will just keep coming back. "Cellactor is the first in a generation of shock wave technology for body tightening and cellulite improvement," says Dr. Sadick. "It blasts the fat cells with shock waves and shakes up the skin cells, so that they create new collagen for improved contour." You'll need a total of five or six treatments over a course of six weeks, with each session costing around $600 a pop. Dr. Sadick says there is no pain with this treatment and absolutely no down time.
There's been a lot of buzz lately around this particular treatment, which has seen increased popularity in Europe and just recently received FDA approval in the U.S. It uses focused ultrasound to flat-out destroy fat cells, heating them up to the point that they "melt" and are disposed of as waste by the body. Dr. Sadick says this treatment can reduce a patient's waistline by one inch after just one treatment. He notes that patients must pass a screening that shows they have at least 2.5 cm of tissue and a BMI below 30. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and costs $1,500 for one session. Dr. Sadick says you can expect some mild side effects (prolonged tenderness, lumps, and some pain), but that you will see an average circumferential reduction of four or five centimeters after treatment of the abdomen and waist.
Cellulite and sculpting aren't the only treatments available for the body. There are also new technologies that can address everything from excessive sweating to uneven skin tone.
In the fight against melanoma, MelaFind might just be your dermatologist's new best friend. Traditionally, doctors would need to biopsy suspicious moles to assess if they might be cancerous. "With this new imaging device, we now have a way to assess moles and the probability of whether they are skin cancer without doing a biopsy," says Dr. Sadick. The device does not, however, identify the abnormal moles in the first place, notes Dr. Julie Karen, a spokesperson for the Skin Cancer Foundation. "It is an amazing device in its ability to process lesions and determine if it is melanoma, but it does not replace your doctor's initial examination," she says. Translation: Your doctor needs to first identify a suspect mole and use the device on it to determine if it is melanoma — the machine does not scan your entire body and find melanomas. The device isn't currently offered in a large number of doctor's offices, scans cost about $150 per patient to screen their moles, and it should be done once a year at your annual skin check. That said, both Dr. Sadick and Dr. Karen agree that MelaFind is a very helpful device for patients that have "tons" of atypical moles, as it means a potential reduction in the amount of biopsies that person will have to undergo.
Vargas Healing Bed
LED treatments — using red and near infrared light — have been on the market for quite some time, but celebrity aesthetician Joanna Vargas is the first person to take the LED concept and create a full-body experience. "Studies have shown that LED light builds collagen in quantifiable percentages, brings down inflammation, corrects damage to the surface of the skin, and speeds up the body's healing process," she says. Her Healing Bed is a full-body treatment (it looks a bit like a tanning bed) lined with panels of red and near-infrared lights. Clients strip down and lay in the bed for 20 minutes, then get dressed and head on their merry ways. After a series of 12 sessions, once a month, Vargas says the bed will provide "amazing" results, including a reduction in stretch marks and cellulite, firmer skin, reduced acne scars and fine lines, smaller pores, stronger skin, and less visible sun damage. Currently, the treatment is only available at her salon (with each session costing $150, or $225 for her signature Sleeping Beauty Treatment — which includes microdermabrasion beforehand and a pure oxygen treatment afterwards), but Vargas believes in her treatment so much, she's applied for (and, just recently, been granted) a patent on the bed. She plans to start selling the bed to other spas and aestheticians, meaning more Healing Beds will start popping up nationwide in as little as six months.
Excessive sweating may not seem like something worthy of a high-priced dermatological device, but for anyone who has ever suffered from it, the new MiraDry treatment might just be the sweat-free savior they've been looking for. "It uses microwave thermal energy to destroy sweat glands," explains Dr. David Goldberg, an NYC dermatologist and director of the Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of NY & NJ. The treatment is done in two parts, about three months apart, and costs around $2,500 total. That may seem steep, until you look a little more closely at the cost of Botox, the traditional treatment of choice: "Botox costs about $2,000 per injection for the armpit, and only lasts about six months. In 90 percent of MiraDry patients, we've seen it last at least two years in long-term sweat reduction," says Dr. Goldberg.
Your body shouldn't have all the high-tech fun — there are plenty of new ways to rejuvenate and refresh your face, as well, including new advancements in topical treatments and a sci-fi way to reduce wrinkles.
Another ultrasound superstar, Ulthera uses focused ultrasound to heat up the dermis and tighten collagen bundles. "By bypassing the skin's surface and heating the dermis directly," says Dr. Sadick, "your body reacts by building new collagen." This results in tightened skin and a reduction in wrinkles, making it a great treatment for neck lifts, sagging breasts, and jowls, says Dr. Sadick. You only need one treatment to see results, and that will cost you anywhere from $2,500 to $4,000, depending on the area treated.
The Madonna Lift
Named after you-know-who, a reported fan, the Madonna Lift helps eradicate dark circles, hollowing, and wrinkling around the eye area. It's a combination of a second-generation CO2 resurfacing laser (a.k.a. Fraxel) in conjunction with PRP — the "vampire facial," which consists of withdrawing a patient's blood, running it through a centrifuge, and then injecting it back into the patient in the areas with issues he or she wants to address. "This is the first time without surgery that we can create an improvement in discoloration and laxity lines around the eyes," says Dr. Sadick. You'll need a total of two or three treatments over the course of six weeks, and each treatment costs about $1,500. Sadick says you can expect some redness and a bit of micro-bruising after each treatment.
"Pyratine is a new anti-inflammatory ingredient in skin-care products that has amazing capabilities to reduce pigmentation and inflammation," says Dr. Sadick. Developed by the same people who created kinetin, pyratine has shown significant promise in being able to reduce redness caused by rosacea or flushing symptoms — something that used to only be able to be achieved by using IPL or a skin laser. Dr. Sadick says it's currently only being used in physicians' skin care lines, but that it should start trickling into the general beauty market in the next year.
Last but not least, your crowning glory — your hair. Just because it's dead, doesn't mean it can benefit from a little high-tech love, right?
Hair color is notorious for having a very short lifespan, fading and turning brassy very quickly after it's applied. Most in-salon treatments try to prevent fading by acting on the surface of the hair, creating a protective film around the hair fiber. The problem with this method, says Dave Shablesky, curriculum development manager for L'Oréal Professionnel, is that frequent shampooing can alter this protective film and allow the color molecule to escape outside of the fiber, which causes fading. "L'Oréal Professionnel's new Cristalceutic treatment is the first product of its kind to interact with the color molecule itself," says Shablesky. "It uses a glucomineral technology — glucose and zinc — which work together in a positively charged formula to attract the negatively charged hair color molecule deep within the hair fiber." According to the brand, this "crystallizes" the color molecule, locking it into the hair fiber and preventing fading for longer-lasting hair color results. The treatment is done at the time of the color service, in order to receive the optimum benefits, says L'Oréal Professionnel artist and owner of Muse Salon, Daniel Jones. After your hair is colored, your stylist will apply a mask on the mid-lengths and ends of your towel-dried hair. After five minutes, he or she will rinse out the mask and towel-dry your hair again, then apply four to six pumps of the Cristalceutic Serum Spray, massaging it into the hair to create a protective layer before the blow-dry service.
"People are looking for less-surgical and less-aggressive interventions," says Dr. Neil Sadick, an NYC dermatologist, when asked to explain why these innovative new procedures are suddenly becoming so much more common. "They want minimal downtime and cost-effective procedures that don't interfere with their lifestyle."
What that means is a host of new lasers, ultrasounds, LED, and high-tech ingredients are now de rigueur at your dermatologist's office.We have the ability to do everything from sculpt our love handles and blast away cellulite to make our skin look years younger - we can even eradicate annoying problems like excessive sweating with just one simple, non-surgical treatment.
From costs and frequency, to what you can expect if you try them, read on for the full, expert scoop on these next-gen beauty treatments. Oh, brave new world, indeed.

There are two ways to work with string samples. One is to use them to try to simulate the sound of a live string section. The other is to approach them as you would any other keyboard instrument and just use them as sounds. Both approaches are valid and useful, but they require different skills. Here I'll discuss simulating a live string section with a sampled-strings library.
FIG. 1: A string ensemble playing an Am7 chord in open inversion. Viola is written in bass clef instead of the usual C clef.
The more you know about how real strings are arranged, and the more sample choices you have, the better your sampled-string arrangements will sound. I currently use MOTU Symphonic Instrument, the Vienna Symphonic Library Vienna Strings samples converted for a MOTU Mach Five sampler, and IK Multimedia Miroslav Philharmonik, all in Digidesign Pro Tools 7.
Most modern keyboards have an ensemble-strings patch, which is usually one consistent sound up and down the keyboard. If you are playing live or don't have samples of the individual string sections, then you must do your best to make this type of string patch sound realistic.
In most string arranging, each section plays the same note. For example, the cellos play the root of the chord, the violas the fifth, the second violins the third, and the first violins the root again, or a sixth, seventh, or ninth. The violas are tuned a fifth below the violins, the cellos are an octave below the violas, and the contrabass is a sixth below the cellos. Therefore, when the ensemble plays a chord, the notes will tend to be spread out across the range of the orchestra in what is called open inversions (see Fig. 1).
Keyboard players tend to play chords in close inversions. Real strings are sometimes written in close inversions, but when keyboard players play string samples in this way, it sounds like a keyboard. If you play the string parts in open inversions, it sounds more like real strings and less like a keyboard player (see Fig. 2 and Web Clip 1).
FIG. 2: A four-bar chord progression scored twice – first using close inversions, then using open inversions.
If you are using MIDI to do your string arrangement, and you have a string sampler that has samples of each of the string sections (violins, violas, cellos, and contrabasses), I highly recommend that you write each part separately. It's a lot more work than just playing chords or lines with a string patch, but it's worth it. Your arrangement will consist of four or five interesting melodies instead of one chord following another.
Sometimes I'll start with the cello part, and other times I'll start with the first violin. If interesting countermelodies occur to me as I'm playing, I'll put them in. I then go on to record the next part. I try not to duplicate notes that were in the previous part unless I want to emphasize a particular line. Because I don't have the gift of perfect musical memory, I will invariably play some notes that result in either unisons, octaves, or bad dissonances, which I go back and fix in the MIDI editor. It gets progressively harder to play the best notes with each successive part, but I can always go back and fix things. When I'm done, I listen to the strings soloed as well as in the arrangement to make sure everything works.
Next I go through each part and carefully draw in MIDI volume commands using a graphical editor. I try to bring out parts that play interesting melodies and to create crescendos and decrescendos that are effective and emotional. Sometimes doing the volume rides can take as long as arranging the notes.
Finally, I'll record the string parts as audio tracks. If you have the tracks available, I recommend recording each string section on a separate stereo track. That way, you can keep control of the balance and dynamics of the string section.
FIG. 3: A multivoice string arrangement with prepared dissonances.
You can get away with a lot more dissonance with strings than with other instruments. While the guitars are playing simple triads, the strings can lay on some minor seconds, raised fourths, and clusters. But it's important to prepare the dissonance (see Fig. 3 and Web Clips 2 through 4). Don't just jump to an exposed minor second; it's more effective to move one voice into a dissonance with a sustained voice. (This is a rule that was made to be broken. If you want a jarring effect, jump right to a dissonance.)
I recommend studying traditional harmony and counterpoint. It also helps to study some of the great pop-music string arrangements. The Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris," with its excellent use of dissonance, the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," and Simon and Garfunkel's "The Boxer" are a few of my favorites.
Many string-section sample libraries, such as the Vienna Strings and MOTU Symphonic Instrument, are already panned to the position they would occupy in an orchestra. If your samples are not prepanned, then pan the first violins to eight o'clock, the second violins to ten o'clock, the violas to one o'clock, the cellos to three o'clock, and the basses to five o'clock.
If the basses are the only bass instruments in the mix, I'll often pan them back toward the center so the mix won't be unbalanced. I bus all the string tracks to an aux track, to which I apply EQ, reverb, and often some stereo spreading.
String samples sound exactly like live strings during the sustain portion of a note, but they tend to be less realistic for the transitions between notes. String players will connect the notes in legato passages, sometimes sliding from one note to the next. Each player in the section will do this slightly differently, creating a very complex sound.
With a sampler, each note gets a new attack. Some samplers allow you to choose between slow and fast attacks, enabling you to move smoothly between notes. Another way to connect notes is to modulate the sample-start position using the MIDI Mod Wheel. Use the full attack for the beginning of a phrase, and then move the Mod Wheel up to remove the attack part of the sample while playing the rest of the phrase. You won't get sliding effects with this technique, but the note connections will be more authentic.
I have not encountered any string samples that have a strong marcato attack followed by a sustain. Usually the marcato samples will be short, and the sustained samples will have slow attacks. So when I need a sustained note with a strong attack, which is often, I mix a small amount of the marcato sample in with the sustained sample. I'm careful not to use too much marcato, because that sounds quite artificial.
It helps to have a choice of sample sets, because each sample set has a different sound and feel (see Web Clips 2 through 4). I sometimes combine sample sets for a larger, fuller sound.
When a full sound is not what you want, you can use solo violin, viola, and cello sounds to create a string quartet. Similarly, use solo strings from two different sample sets to get a double quartet. Mixing a quartet or double quartet with an ensemble sample set gives you a very nice midsize ensemble sound; you can hear the individual instruments, but it sounds rich.
String libraries, no matter how realistic sounding, are just not the same as a live string section. The same samples are used repeatedly, and the number and variety of gestures are limited. But if you work within those limitations and strive to push beyond them, you can create some beautiful arrangements.

"smells good, but didn't see any repelling value to the product. wouldn't purchase again! "
If you really have fly issues, this isn't the product for you. Flies were landing on and around them. Not at all the results we had hoped for.
"I Love this Product"
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Not only is it fabulous in the horse barn but I put one up at the door of each hen house also. The flies are virtually nonexistent! I hung four up in the horse barn like the diagram suggested for the size of my barn, one up at the doorway of each chicken house and two (one at each end) of the lean-too for the goats. THIS PRODUCT WORKS! PLUS it SMELLS SO GOOD. Everything smells clean and fresh.

Matt Duffy slides safely into second base against CSF Sunday.
Feb. 20, 2011
Long Beach, Calif. - A five-run sixth inning helped Long Beach State erase a 4-2 deficit, and the Dirtbags held on the team's home opener to defeat No. 8 Cal State Fullerton 8-5 on Sunday afternoon. Sophomore Matt Duffy was 3-for-5 with three RBI singles, leading the way for Long Beach State.
The Titans struck first opening up a four-run lead early in the contest. Joe Terry tripled in the top of the second inning and scored on a sacrifice fly, and then Fullerton scored three unearned runs in the third inning, as Terry again had the big hit, a two-run single that scored Richy Pedroza and Nick Ramirez.
The Dirtbags were able to slowly pull back the Titans though, due in large part to Duffy. Brennan Metzger opened the inning by getting hit by a pitch, and after getting pushed over by a sacrifice, scored on the first hit of the game for Duffy, an RBI single.
The same duo struck again in the fifth inning, as Metzger led off the frame with a double off the wall, and after another sacrifice from Jeff McNeil, Duffy came through again with a second RBI single to cut the Titan lead to 4-2.
The big inning for Long Beach State came in the sixth however. With CS Fullerton starter Jake Floethe turning the ball over to Christian Coronado to begin the inning, he immediately ran into trouble, walking Kirk Singer, who was promptly pushed over to second. He then plunked Juan Avila to put a second runner on, and Metzger singled to bring home Singer, the first run of the inning.
Dylan Floro came on in relief for the Titans, but McNeil and Duffy each hit RBI singles to give the Dirtbags three in a row as well as put Long Beach State on top 5-4. Then, with the bases loaded, Jeff Yamaguchi hit a hard grounder that bounced over Terry's head at third base to bring home two more runs and put the Dirtbags on top 7-4.
Eddie Magallon, who had come on in the end of the fifth in relief, pitched two more innings of scoreless ball for the Dirtbags, and took his first win of the season. LBSU added one additional run in the seventh, while the Titans mounted a rally, scoring a run in the eighth and putting two on with one out.
Shawn Stuart entered at that point for the Dirtbags, and shut down the Titan rally by striking out both Tyler Pill and Terry to end the inning. Stuart remained on the mound in the ninth and after a leadoff single, retired the next three batters to record his first save of the season.
The game was delayed for nearly a half-hour in the first inning, as home plate umpire Gary Gilman was struck in the chin by a foul ball and had to leave the contest. The game was continued with two umpires until a replacement arrived later in the game.
The Dirtbags and Titans return to Blair Field tomorrow for the rubber game of the series, as the teams make up the game originally scheduled for Friday night that was rained out. First pitch for that game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Fans with tickets to Friday night's game will receive entry into the Monday night contest with those tickets.

Oregon Basketball Player Brandon Austin Suspended
Player Transferred to Oregon After Suspension From Providence College Following Sexual-Assault Allegation
Brandon Austin, who was suspended from the Providence College basketball team in November after an accusation by a fellow student of sexual assault, has been suspended from the team at the University of Oregon, where he transferred, according to the school.
Late Monday, the Oregonian newspaper posted a police report alleging that Austin had sexually assaulted another Oregon student. The report, which also lists two teammates as suspects, refers to the case as "suspended/inactive."
University of Oregon president Michael Gottfredson didn't refer to the students by name but issued a statement Monday night:
"We are deeply concerned about information contained in the police report recently released by the Eugene Police Department. Federal laws that protect the privacy of all students preclude the university from commenting about students. However, the university takes allegations of misconduct very seriously."
The police report was filed by another Oregon student in connection with an alleged incident on the night and early morning of March 8-9, according to the copy of the police report on the Oregonian's website. It alleges an assault, and lists as suspects Austin and two other Oregon players, Dominic Artis and Damyean Dotson. Oregon athletics spokesman Greg Walker said the players weren't available for comment.
Walker confirmed that Austin and two other players weren't participating in team activities but declined to elaborate.
A district attorney declined to file charges against the three men because of "insufficient evidence to prove charge(s) beyond a reasonable doubt," according to an April 14 case evaluation document by Patty Perlow, chief deputy district attorney of Lane County.
The one-page evaluation concluded, "While there is no doubt the incidents occured(sic), the conflicting statements and actions by the victim make this case unprovable as a criminal case."
The evaluation lists only Dotson as a suspect, but Perlow said in an interview Tuesday that the document applied to the other two players as well.
Early Tuesday evening, the district attorney's office released a three-page statement outlining potential weaknesses in the case and concluding that they presented "an insurmountable barrier to prosecution."
Apart from any criminal investigation, universities are obligated under the Title IX federal gender-equity law to investigate and adjudicate allegations of sexual assault involving students. According to federal guidelines issued in 2011, universities are required to use a "preponderance of the evidence" standard for deciding responsibility for an alleged sexual assault, lower than the criminal standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt."
A finding that a student was responsible for a sexual assault can result in suspension or expulsion, depending on the policies in place at a given school.
On Tuesday afternoon, Oregon issued a joint statement from Robin Holmes, the vice president for student affairs, and athletic director Rob Mullens that read, in part, "Questions have arisen regarding the timeliness of the university's involvement in the matter reported about University of Oregon basketball. Law enforcement agencies often request that the university wait to take action in order to avoid interference with an open criminal investigation. We responded accordingly in this situation. In all cases we begin investigating immediately, and aggressively address situations in accordance with the law, our internal code of conduct, and our commitment and obligation to protect and support our students."
Late Tuesday night, the school released another statement:
"The University of Oregon first learned of the allegations from the alleged victim's father on March 9, as reported in the released police report. Upon receiving information such as this, the university's procedures are to immediately provide services and support. Prior to the NCAA Tournament, the Eugene Police Department told the university that if it took investigative or administrative action, it would jeopardize the integrity of the criminal investigation and, therefore, requested that the university not take action at that time.
"The university received the police report on April 24, after the criminal investigation was complete and the District Attorney declined to prosecute."
The Wall Street Journal reported on March 18 that Austin and a Providence teammate, Rodney Bullock, were being investigated by police for an alleged sexual assault in November. That case remains under investigation, according to spokeswoman Amy Kempe of the Rhode Island office of the attorney general, which handles felony cases in the state.
Austin and Bullock were suspended for the 2013-14 season. Bullock remains on Providence's roster. In March, Austin couldn't be reached for comment, and he hasn't made any public comments.
Bill Lynch, an attorney representing Bullock, acknowledged in March that Bullock had been accused of sexual assault. He said the Providence College investigation of the complaint was carried out by a former member of the Rhode Island State Police who leads such inquiries for the school.
"After this extensive review and this hearing process in which everyone participated, the penalty meted out was the only one meted by the school, and I think that speaks volumes," Lynch said.
Oregon announced on its athletic website in January that Austin was transferring into the program. In that announcement, Oregon basketball coach Dana Altman said of Austin's departure from Providence: "In talking with their coaching staff, we felt like this was something that was not of a serious nature and we'd be able to move on from there."

Though this here Nashville fried chicken recipe isn't quite as hot as they serve it in the city it's named for, it should get you sweating. If you want it hotter, douse yours with additional hot sauce.–Editors of Southern Living Magazine
LC Hot, Damn Hot! Note
Hot enough to make you holler. That's how they like their fried chicken in Nashville. And who are we to argue? The folks who crafted this recipe rely on habanero sauce for the authentic Nashville hot chicken experience. (Wanna know exactly which hot sauce they use? Tabasco.) But that doesn't mean you can't tweak tradition if, say, you don't care for things to be quite so hot. (Curious which hot sauces our recipe testers gave a whirl? Take a look beneath the recipe at our Testers Choice comments. Then give whichever one you please a try and kindly let us know what you thought in a comment below.)
Special Equipment: Deep-fry or candy or instant-read thermometer
Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (either low-fat or full-fat)
- One 5-ounce bottle habanero hot sauce (see LC Note above)
- 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1. Whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce in a large bowl or a baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning the pieces occasionally.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet.
- 3. Pour the oil in a large, deep skillet until it reaches a depth of 1 inch. Heat the oil to 325°F (163°C).
- 4. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and onion powder in a shallow bowl.
- 5. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off and discarding the mixture. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- 6. Fry the drumsticks in the oil in batches, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the fried chicken to the wire rack. Bake the chicken until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes (or, if your drumsticks are particularly large, a few minutes longer). Don't you dare forget to pass the napkins—lots of napkins.

What does the future hold for the often tempestuous relationship between owners of listed buildings and planning officials?
One area where things are set to change radically is technology. To some extent, this is happening already: computer programmes are able to demonstrate proposed design interventions in clear, three- dimensional images.
Take Dowdeswell Court, a Grade-II listed country house in Gloucestershire, where planning permission was granted last year for a new gatehouse in a traditional style, as well as the Bath House, an ultra-modern, subterranean property on the estate.
"The use of computers and sophisticated, photo-realistic modelling has enabled us to negotiate a series of very sensitive planning permissions," says Angus Morrogh-Ryan, a director with De Matos Storey Ryan, the architectural practice behind the Bath House.
The same was true at Cowley Manor, also in Gloucestershire, where De Matos Storey Ryan designed a subterranean spa and courtyard which sat comfortably in the Grade II*-listed setting and duly won the practice a RIBA award.
"On paper, both projects could have looked quite frightening, but computer modelling allowed us to have very detailed discussions with the planning officers," says Mr Morrogh-Ryan.
"At Dowdeswell, they were able to see that the historic vista from the main house will be undisturbed, and that the panoramic views from the new building will be the same as the main house enjoys. Using advanced technology, we could demonstrate that it will sit quietly and not usurp the main house."
- Jeremy Musson is Architectural Editor of Country Life and presenter of The Curious House Guest on BBC2, next Friday at 7.30pm. The current issue of Country Life contains a number of articles on technology, design and the future of the country house.

What's Going On?
County Council Meetings
Cardston County's Council Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of each month and occasionally we require a second meeting during the month which will be held after the MPC meeting on the 4th Monday.
The next Council meeting will be held on May 24th, 2016 and the next Municipal Planning Commission meeting will also be held on May 24th, 2016.
As always, anyone is welcome to attend our meetings and recordings of the meetings are available on our Youtube page.
Securing Loads
We have received a number of complaints regarding people driving to transfer stations or the regional landfill with unsecured loads of waste materials.
We are requesting that residents secure their loads properly when hauling waste to transfer stations or the regional landfill.
This helps protect the safety of people and vehicles as well as ensures that waste materials are ending up at the appropriate destination.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Fire Ban
Cardston County is no longer under a provincial fire ban, so we are now able to issue fire permits as usual. You can obtain a fire permit by calling (403) 653-3712 and you can find more information on provincial fire bans here.
Gravel Days
Gravel will be available for purchase from the County again this year during the following weeks:
- May 24th to 27th
- August 15th to 19th
If you are interested in purchasing gravel this year, you will need to come to the County Office and pick up a purchase order prior to receiving any gravel. You will need to produce your purchase order to the truck driver when you arrive to pick up your gravel.
If you have received a purchase order, we will be calling you at a later time to let you know the available dates and times for loading at specific gravel pits.
Please be aware that if you are planning on picking up gravel, you must be wearing appropriate safety vests and equipment.
Summer Construction Season
Our public works department would like to let everyone know that our graders, road, and culvert crews are beginning work for the summer construction season.
We will be doing our best to limit our impact on residents, but we do ask that you please proceed slowly and cautiously around graders and work crews for your own safety and the safety of our employees.
We hope everyone has a safe and happy summer season.
Alberta Open Farm Days
Alberta Open Farm Days is looking for farmers and ranchers to be hosts for the 2016 Alberta Open Farm Days on August 20th and 21st.
The main objective of Alberta Open Farm Days is to provide an opportunity for our urban and rural neighbours to visit and learn about farms and ranches.
Encouraging people to travel to our farms and ranches will help the vitality of our rural areas and increase positive messages about our agricultural industry.
If you are interested in being a host farm or ranch, click here and fill out the registration form before May 31st.
Fire Permit Phone Number
We have a new phone number for residents looking for a fire permit. If you require a fire permit, please call (403) 653-3712. Fire permits will only be issued during weekdays from 8:00am to 5:00pm, so make sure to receive your permit in advance.
Alberta Fire Bans App
There is a new Alberta Fire Bans mobile app that will make information on current fire bans, advisories, and restrictions more readily available to Albertans. The app is available for free through your mobile device's app store.
During 2015 alone, nearly 5,500 square kilometers of land was lost in Alberta in 1,786 wildfires. These wildfires affect Albertans' homes and livelihoods and our province's land and wildlife.
Approximately 35% of wildfires are caused by lightning, with the remaining 65% being caused by humans. The Alberta Fire Bans app will hopefully help decrease the amount of human-caused wildfires in Alberta by making it easier for Albertans to access information on fire notices.
You can also find information via the Alberta Fire Bans website here.
Information on Accessing Pole Haven
Cardston County has been receiving a number of inquiries on changes to the accessibility of the Pole Haven Community Pasture. The County does not manage Pole Haven nor does the County have any influence on how the Community Pasture is managed, but we can provide the following information to residents from the Provincial Department of Environment and Parks and the Pole Haven Grazing Association:
- "Effective immediately, the Pole Haven Grazing Association will restrict recreational access to foot access."
- "Motorized access, camping, campfires, mountain biking, horse use, snowmobiling, and wood cutting for personal use will not be permitted at this time."
- "The intent is not to restrict reasonable foot access, but to manage the rangeland resources under best management practices and the Rangeland Stewardship Code of Practice to maintain a healthy rangeland status."
- "Currently, the best way to achieve a healthy range status is to restrict recreational access on the lease due to the increase in recreational use and the resulting undesirable impacts to rangelands and wildlife habitat."
If you have any concerns about the changes to Pole Haven Community Pasture, please contact the Provincial Department of Environment and Parks or the Pole Haven Grazing Association directly.
2016 Dust Control Program
Cardston County is now taking applications for its 2016 Dust Control Program. Please review the application form carefully and submit it along with the prepayment prior to April 30th, 2016. The County must receive both the application and the prepaid amount before the deadline to be eligible for dust control.
You can find the application form here and you can submit your application and prepayment to the County Office. If you have any questions about the Dust Control Program, please feel free to contact us as (403) 653-4977.
- The minimum length for dust control will be 100m (300') for the cost of $300.00 which must be prepaid and submitted along with an application prior to the deadline of April 30th, 2016.
- There will be an additional cost of $3.00 for every 1m (3') over the minimum 100m (300') which will also need to be prepaid and submitted along with an application prior to the deadline of April 30th, 2016.
Fiber Optic Survey
The County is considering investing in fiber optic infrastructure to bring better internet to residents. One of the ideas being considered is linking the existing wireless towers with fiber optic, which would boost internet speeds for residents with wireless internet. We are also exploring the idea of providing a fiber optic network for residents to directly access.We are now on Facebook!
Please go to our Facebook page, Cardston County and " like" our page so that you will be able to get all the latest news and information.

Would you believe me if I told you that if you walked straight at a wall that you would never actually get to the wall? Integral calculus allows you to mathematically prove this crazy idea. When you think of calculus, think tiny as in infinitesimal. By subdividing the space between you and the wall into ever smaller divisions, you can mathematically establish that there is an infinite number of divisions, and you can never actually get to the wall. Do not try this at home kids, not without some help from integrals and derivatives, the basic tools of calculus. The study of integral calculus includes: integrals and their inverse, differentials, derivatives, anti-derivatives, and approximating the area of curvilinear regions.

Earl Ray Tomblin signed about 200 bills and vetoed eight this year, leaving teachers and abortion opponents unsatisfied. Tomblin vetoed a bill to keep school administrators from scheduling tasks for teachers during planning periods. Tomblin said the bill would have blocked collaborative planning among teachers and principals. Pro-life groups opposed Tomblin's decision to veto a ban on abortions after 20 weeks gestation. Tomblin Vetoes Teacher Planning Bill By Associated Press • Apr 2, 2014 Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has vetoed a bill that would have given teachers more freedom in using daily planning periods. The proposal would have generally prohibited administrators from making teachers attend training, work-related events, parent-teacher conferences, individualized education program meetings or teacher evaluation conferences during planning periods. The bill says teachers could have done so voluntarily.

The City/County Telecommunications Commission is conducting an online survey of Comcast cable subscribers and nonsubscribers at http://www.cityofvancouver.us/cablefranchise.
The short survey, which runs through June 12, will help the commission understand community needs and interests related to cable television service from Comcast in preparation for its cable franchise renewal process.
The online survey does not ask questions regarding personal identification such as name, Social Security number or home address. All information gathered from households will be reported only as a group, and all individual responses are anonymous.
In addition to the online survey, the Telecommunications Commission conducted random telephone surveys and focus groups to capture input about future cable television needs in Vancouver and Clark County.
Comcast was granted a 15-year franchise in November 1997 to provide cable television services in Vancouver and Clark County. The franchise will expire Dec. 31, 2012.
The eight-member Telecommunications Commission is a volunteer citizen board that advises the Vancouver City Council and Clark County commissioners on all matters related to the cable television franchise agreement with Comcast.

Thanks for sharing all of these. I love soup but my husband is not so much of a fan, I'm hoping the Lasagna Soup might be a good compromise for us.
Although he might just have to suffer through a night with Tomato Basil Soup because that looks amazing. I'll just have to bake some homemade bread to go with it to make it up to him!
And one of these days I need to buy a second crock pot, maybe a smaller one for those dips and such. 🙂
