Today was the family reunion and I had a blast!!! Mom didn't come, and it was good, because it did rain, both at the party and (HARD!) on the way home. It would have freaked her out. I was so touched that they waited for us to do the ceremonial cake and tea! They didn't get my e-mail that Mom wasn't coming, so they had a parking spot for us in the driveway with Mom's name on it! Everyone was so nice - all of us on our best behaviour! I had 3 people tell me that I looked great (Janet, Joanne & Scott) and I think they really meant it! That made me so happy. I guess I really wanted someone to notice, but I don't think my loss is noticeable yet, so I didn't expect it. The (mainly) 2 generations are getting to know each other a lot better now, so things clicked much better than last year. As expected, the food was great. For me, Julie's cheesecake was a lifesaver because I was really in the mood for dessert - plus it was not only low fat/calorie, it was also delicious! Jason & Marta brought me some cherries just because they knew I loved them - I thought that was really sweet! Well, it was a wonderful day and even thought I was looking forward to it - it was BETTER than I ever expected! I was so happy that Julie had a good time - no, not happy, ecstatic! I really wanted her to have fun, after all, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to go at all. So, thank you "a million" (LOL), Julie! I owe it all to you! Good night all. I wish everyone could feel as content as I do tonight! Thank you, God, for all the wonderful people in my life.

Today was the final day of our Heritage Days 2011 festivities. We ended up back where we began on Friday night with a presentation on archaeology at St Luke's Church Hall. This time Rebecca Duggan, an Archaeologist for Parks Canada was discussing the archaeology of Fort Anne. This was a very interesting presentation (complete with a number of 17th and 18th century maps of Port Royal / Annapolis Royal I had not previously seen).
I was also interested to see the box of archaeological artifacts that she had brought with her. I am very happy whenever someone comes bearing a box full of Annapolis Royal artifacts. The box contained objects ranging from pre-contact Mi'Kmaq ceramics and clay pipes to a metal lock and a wonderful 18th century wine bottle. I always find it exciting to see artifacts that were used in our community hundreds of years ago. From the way people in the audience rushed to the display table at the end of the proceedings, I guess that I am not the only one.
All for now,

Sixty-nine years ago, on July 28, 1945, a U.S. Army bomber crashed into the 79th floor of the Empire State Building, the tallest structure in New York City, killing 14 people and causing about $1 million in damages. The freak accident was caused by a thick fog.
The B-25 Mitchell aircraft, the Old John Feather Merchant, with two pilots and a passenger, was flying from New Bedford, Mass., to LaGuardia Airport in New York. The fog was heavy, so air-traffic controllers instructed it to land at Newark Airport.
Warned that the Empire State Building was not visible, the crew then swerved to avoid hitting the Chrysler Building, but this move sent it straight into the north side of the Empire State Building, near the 79th floor, at 9:49 a.m.
The jet fuel exploded, filling the inside of the building with flames down to the 75th floor and sending them out of the hole in the side. The resulting fire was extinguished in 40 minutes. One of the plane's engines smashed through the building and landed in a penthouse apartment across the street. Other airplane parts ended up embedded in and on top of nearby buildings.
The other engine snapped an elevator cable while a woman was riding in the elevator. The emergency auto brake saved her from plunging to the bottom, but the engine fell down the shaft and landed on top of it. Rescuers pulled her from the elevator, saving her life after a plunge of 75 stories, the Guinness world record for the longest survived elevator drop.
The three people on the airplane were killed, as were 11 in the building, all workers from the War Relief Services department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, into whose offices the plane crashed. An 18-foot by 20-foot hole was left in the side of the famous building.
The Empire State Building was open for business on most floors the following Monday. The crash helped spur the passage of the Federal Tort Claims Act, as well as the insertion of retroactive provisions into the law allowing people to sue the government for the accident.

Princeton University EPICS program, winning awards while helping communities
A Princeton University EPICS team has designed and built a portable renewable energy generator that can be assembled using manpower in an hour or less. "Power in a Box" is a wind turbine and solar panels packed inside a shipping container , and is meant to be used in remote or disaster- stricken locations in place of diesel generators. The project won a $90,000 EPA grant in 2012 and the monies are being used to test and improve the generator.

Pedigree Analysis: Solow
Looking at his pedigree, it's not too surprising that Solow's connections -- trainer Freddy Head and owner/breeders Wertheimer et Frere -- would have expected Solow to require a test of stamina.
Looking at his pedigree, it's not too surprising that Solow's connections -- trainer Freddy Head and owner/breeders Wertheimer et Frere -- would have expected Solow to require a test of stamina.
In the Royal Ascot opener Tuesday, June 16, favored Solow delivered a rousing victory in the $585,000 Queen Anne Stakes (Eng-I), extending his win streak to seven races, including three straight group I victories.
French runner Solow was all alone at the line in the $6 million Dubai Turf Sponsored by DP World (UAE-I) March 28. The 5-year-old covered the 1,800 meters in 1:47.76 to give trainer Freddy Head his first win in Dubai.
Moonwalk in Paris gamely charged through a gap and up the rail for a convincing two-length win in the $200,000 Firebreak Stakes Presented by Range Rover (UAE-III) Feb. 14 at Meydan.
PORTER ON PEDIGREES, by Alan Porter
From time to time there are results that make us wonder, what if? One of those moments came Dec. 9 when Robe Tissage scored an upset victory in the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies (Jpn-I).
Robe Tissage captured Japan's premier race for young fillies Dec. 9 when closing powerfully in the stretch and edging past Kurofune Surprise in the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies (Jpn-I).
Glorious Sight commanded 1.7 million euros ($2,295,970 in U.S. funds) to top Arqana's Arc sale, which posted big increases in its key business figures Oct. 1 at Saint-Cloud in France.
Remembering the people and horses that left us in 2010. View Slideshow
Hibaayeb, making her United States debut for Godolphin Racing, outfought Turning Top in the final furlong to win Oak Tree's $250,000 Yellow Ribbon Stakes (gr. IT) on the turf at Hollywood Park Oct. 2.
Campanologist earned a long overdue group I victory when he came home a decisive winner in the Grosser Preis von Lotto Hamburg (Ger-I) July 17.
An Eclipse Award and World Cup (UAE-I) winner, he was a successful stallion.
Singspiel, a major winner across the globe and the sire of 76 stakes winners, might be at the end of his stallion career because of fertility problems.
Five-year-old mare Dar Re Mi, with new rider William Buick aboard, outlasted Buena Vista and Spanish Moon to capture the $5 million Dubai Sheema Classic (UAE-I) at Meydan March 27.
Darley stallion Singspiel has experienced fertility problems since the commencement of the 2010 breeding season that are thought to be linked to a brief illness he suffered in January, according to a release from the farm.
Hibaayeb shed her maiden tag in the best possible way, driving up the rail under Neil Callan to win the Meon Valley Stud Fillies' Mile (Eng-I) at Ascot Sept. 26.
Benefiting from a strong ride by Jimmy Fortune, Dar Re Mi took command within the final furlong and easily held off heavily favored Sariska to win the Darley Yorkshire Oaks (Eng-I) Aug. 20.
Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Dar Re Mi became the first European horse to qualify for the 2009 Breeders' Cup World Championships following her half-length victory in the Audi Pretty Polly Stakes (Ire-I) June 27 at the Curragh.
Lahudood is the first homebred Breeders' Cup World Championship winner for the powerful Shadwell Stable. Prior to the daughter of Singspiel's victory Saturday in the Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (gr. I), Shadwell's best finish as breeder had been Sakhee's second place in the 2001 Classic.
Shadwell Farm's homebred Lahudood scored an upset in the Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT), holding off Honey Ryder and Passage of Time.
Live Oak Plantation's homebred Stradivinsky will take on seven sprint rivals, including three shippers, in the $200,000 Scotts Highlander Stakes (Can-III) Sunday on the turf at Woodbine.
Lightly raced Silkwood, who had just three lifetime starts to her credit, ran away with the 12 furlong Ribblesdale Stakes (Eng-II) at Royal Ascot on Thursday.
Donald M. Kerr's Dark Islander made it back-to-back victories for Irish-bred imports in the $150,000 Oak Tree Derby (gr. IIT) when he burst home for an impressive victory in the turf event for 3-year-olds at Santa Anita Park on Saturday.
Day one of Tattersalls' December Foal Sale set records all round in Newmarket Wednesday. The 2,110,600-guinea turnover was up 99% on 2004, the 9,771gns average increased 56% and the 6,500gns median rose by 76%.
Singhalese charged home on the grandstand side to reach the wire a half-length in front of favored Three Degrees to win the $300,000 Del Mar Oaks (gr. IT) on the grass Saturday.
Favored Three Degrees turned in a stakes record effort to win the $163,125 Honeymoon Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. IIT) for 3-year-old fillies with an impressive late burst on the Hollywood Park turf.
Darley stallion In the Wings, who won the 1990 Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. I) and was a champion in France, was diagnosed with laminitis the past weekend and has been relieved temporarily from stallion duty.
A February-born Singspiel colt out of champion racemare Bosra Sham set the Tattersalls sale ring alight in Newmarket Friday night when selling for 525,000 guineas to Sheik Mohammed at the December Foal Sale.
Glorious Song, who achieved notable success as a racemare and broodmare, was euthanized over the summer in England.
While he finished a much-troubled third to Victory Moon in Saturday's Group II $2 million UAE Derby, Inamorato's trainer said afterward that the colt could still make the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) on May 3.
Irish-bred Moon Ballad, owned by the Godolphin racing stable and ridden by Frankie Dettori, won the Group III Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Challenge (Round II) at the United Arab Emirates' Nad Al Sheba Thursday.
Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud Management announced fees of £30,000 (approximately $46,400) for two of its English stallions, Fantastic Light and Halling.

Here's an intresting thread. What is your least favorite full song off of A Thousand Suns? And why?
*prepares himself for the Robot Boy's
Here's an intresting thread. What is your least favorite full song off of A Thousand Suns? And why?
*prepares himself for the Robot Boy's
To be honest, I might have to say Wretches and Kings. The beginning-end of second chorus is 10/10 material, but then the song ends awkwardly IMO. I still give it something like 8.5/10 which shows how incredible this album is. As for Robot Boy, I was always an 8/10 kinda guy with that song but I've gone as far as 9.5 out of 10. Damn great track right there.
In Between. Weak instrumental, weak vocals, average lyrics (at best).
Edit: Didn't see it was only ATS lol. I can't pick one. They are still all about equal for me.
Excluding interludes is hard considering my least favorite on the entire album that isn't Empty Spaces is Fallout - I always think I'm about to listen to The Catalyst and get excited :/
Least favorite full song on ATS would have to be ... The Messenger. It's not that it's a bad song, but I'm not particularly fond of putting the most mellow song, especially when it's acoustic, at the end of a powerful, synth and ethnic beats-filled album.
My least favorite would have to be "Burning In The Skies". It's too warm for the first two tracks, and all if that buildup serves no purpose. I'd still give it an 8 out of 10 though.
Despite just how loved it seems to be, mine would be Iridescent in a heartbeat. I simply do not understand the love for it. It honestly bores me. I didn't care for Burning In The Skies when I first heard it but that one grew on me. I dig the rest though.
They say the grass is always greener on the otherside,
If so, do birds dream of walking, while we dream to fly?
Iridescent builds really smoothly. I also like the group singing together and the ending. That's far from my least favorite
The Messenger. I just don't dig it
Sorry, but I am going to have to go with Robot Boy. The verse melody just keeps repeating and I just lose focus, it's as simple as that. The song doesn't really go anywhere for me.
Drop that
Get upTake to the streets
Least favorite, hmmmm *thinking* Give me time to think about this. So far, nothing.
Vdalem's Cookies!
Empty Spaces and Fallout. Both seem like pointless fillers to me.
Now I am become Death... Destroyer of Squirrels
Here is my final point. About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography and smoking and everything else. What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, say, think, who I fuck, what I take into my body - as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet? - Bill Hicks
"I just stole a poncho from a wooden Indian" - Tony Stark
The Messenger
Probably When They Come for Me, if only because Mike's rapping about how he totally doesn't suck as a rapper and the "Catch up MOTHERFUCKAAAAAAAAAA"s sound far too forced.
I think Wretches and Kings because it just seems a bit out of place on the album.
Blackout. I honestly think Mike's part at the end is the only good thing about that track.

We're fond of our lil' Outblush Editorial family, and are usually in accord regarding product selection, but sometimes we look at an item that a fellow editor has chosen and do a double take. Which is why we bring you Agree To Disagree, a new feature that'll show you another side to all the happy-sappy product love we've got goin' on and allow you, the readers, to decide whether that item really is crave or cringe-worthy.
$600. For unflattering-on-every-woman-on-the-planet UGG Boots. With zebra-printed suede and stud detailing. Gee, we didn't know it cost so much money to look so cheap!

We'll soon see women everywhere with zebra print, studded cankles. Designers of the world, please, JUST LET UGGS DIE!
But, we're equal opportunity 'round these here parts, and some of you may think these are the bee's knees, so, we wanted to ask you:
[Disagree? Get another perspective on these boots here.]

David Rakoff in Salon
A unionized public employee, a teabagger, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, then looks at the teabagger and says "Watch out for that union guy—he wants a piece of your cookie!"

But the last group of Moscow's dogs is by far the most amazing. They are the beggars, for obvious reasons. In these packs, the alpha isn't the best hunter or strongest, it's the smartest. The most impressive beggars, however, get their own title: 'metro dogs'. They rely on scraps of food from the daily commuters who travel the public transportation system. To do so, the dogs have learned to navigate the subway. They know stops by name, and integrate a number of specific stations into their territories.

Yes, the Democrats are corrupt and inept. But the other side is batshit insane.
The New York Times makes stuff up again.
What so many liberal critics really want in a Democratic president now is someone who will denounce the wealthy and punish the barons of industry (and insurance).
Matt Bai, NY Times
Name them. No, what we liberal critics want is not to denounce and punish, but actual policy progress in the form of a new regulatory regime to prevent this kind of financial meltdown from happening again.
If a company, and especially a bank, is too big to fail then it should not be allowed to get that big, and if it is that big and must be bailed out, it should also be broken apart at the same time – not to punish anyone, but to prevent it from happening again.
If a company fails and must be bailed out, then the executives should not be getting multimillion dollar bonuses – not because we want to punish them, but because they are now receiving taxpayer dollars and nobody on government welfare should be receiving such sums, least of all the individuals most responsible for the global financial meltdown.
The only way to stop this kind of looting is to reregulate and enforce the antitrust laws that were put in place 100 years ago to prevent exactly this kind of meltdown from happening after the experience of the 19th century's series of meltdowns.

High Hazard Cross Connections in Minnesota
PDF version of this Web page formatted for print:
High Hazard Cross Connections in Minnesota (PDF: 50KB/2 pages)
In response to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act Ground Water Rule and recent incidents in Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has adopted high-hazard cross connections that are not adequately protected as a Significant Deficiency for all Community Public Water Systems (CPWSs).
For the purposes of CPWS Unit program implementation, SDs will be defined as high-hazard cross connections that need a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) backflow preventer or air gap to meet the Minnesota Plumbing Code. However, CPWSs can adopt a more comprehensive approach, addressing all cross connections as part of a cross connection control program.
Plumbing cross connection contamination incidents occur throughout Minnesota, in both large and small communities. Below is a sample of cross-connection contamination events at CPWSs identified during MDH Drinking Water Emergency Responses:
|June 2009
|Metro Area
|Population 85,000
|Ethylene glycol
|April 2011
|Metro Area
|Population 390,000
|Ethyl ether
|Incidents have also occurred in small to medium-sized communities in Minnesota.
As of July 1, 2011, MDH District Engineers are working with CPWSs to start identifying high-hazard cross connections that are not adequately protected. These Significant Deficiencies have the potential to cause introduction of contamination into finished drinking water, and are not allowed under the Minnesota Plumbing Code.
Many CPWSs already have established programs for monitoring high-hazard cross connections in their water distribution system. MDH is working with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), League of Minnesota Cities (LMC), Minnesota Section of American Water Works Association (MNAWWA), Minnesota Rural Water Association (MRWA), local plumbing code authorities, and the plumbing industry to establish resources and rule language to help all CPWSs in addressing inadequately protected high-hazard cross connections.
These organizations are available to provide the following resources:
- Provide information to elected officials and CPWSs regarding the threats and liabilities (public health and economic) associated with drinking water contamination due to inadequately protected high-hazard cross connections, i.e. fact sheets, website resources, workshops [LMC, AWWA, MRWA, MDH, DLI, and local plumbing code authority];
- Provide municipalities guidance for writing and adopting cross connection control ordinances [LMC, AWWA, MRWA, MDH, DLI, and local plumbing code authority];
- Provide licensed boiler operators with training and spring/fall reminder letters regarding the importance of cross connection control during boiler maintenance [DLI and MDH];
- Require local plumbing code authorities to forward received copies of all RPZ backflow preventer installation and maintenance records to the PWS [local plumbing code authority and DLI];
- Provide CPWSs with templates for tracking high-hazard cross connections with RPZ installation and maintenance records, i.e. spreadsheet and postcard notices [MRWA and LMC]; and
- Provide CPWSs with enforcement resources to address high-hazard cross connections that are not adequately protected including:
- ordinance language for enforcement and adopting any necessary fines [MRWA and LMC];
- fact sheet listing responsible authorities [MDH];
- assistance from enforcement authorities [regulatory authorities for licensed businesses; local plumbing code authority, DLI, and MDH].

As a young art student of painting and cinema studies, 1972-1981, at Pratt Institute and New York University, the first American English language translations of French phenomenology and metaphysics arrived at the Madison Avenue Bookshop. These dialogues on perception as a philosophical property became the raison d'être
for Elaine's drawings and visual life.
'At that time I chose charcoal as my primary medium for its behavior- as "dust", "cinder", "flake" and "charred branch". I know its proclivities intimately."
It performs for her as a standard by which a lifetime of drawing is measured by seizing form and atmosphere and giving this material form.
"I draw only on site, which entails the kind of visual life I learned as a field technician at sites of medieval towns in 1992-2000." For Elaine, "Drawing on the land addresses the primal feeling of land as sanctuary. Casting the eye across a field of vision sparks my earliest habits of perception. I see the chaos of modern times together with the natural land it occupies as a part of 'world structure'.
"Drawing makes it possible for me to capture that distilled sense of the past and its ability to impress us with its persistent presence. Early films open with shots designed to call upon our instinctive ability to see an overlay of past and present unfold before us. I draw directly on that borderline."

|Vandals in seventh
HENDERSON, Nev. - The University of Idaho men's golf team dropped back a bit but still is just six strokes out of second at the Western Athletic Conference Championship Tournament at Rio Secco Golf Club.
Senior Gordon Webb matched his first-round 74 with another 74 for a four-under 148 and eighth place with 18 holes to play. Aaron Cockerill is another stroke back at 149 after a 78 Tuesday and is tied for ninth. Sean McMullen and Dylan Baker are in a group tied for 33rd at 156. McMullen had an 83 to go with his opening-round 73, while Baker went 78-78 over the first two days. Zach Wanderscheid is tied for 43rd at 159 after an 83 Tuesday.
Consistency, coach John Means said, again was a problem for the young Vandals.
"It is something we've dealt with all year," said Means, adding windy conditions compounded the issues with consistency. "We will continue to work on it but until we can all play with the same intensity, consistency will be a problem."
After opening with a 294 Monday, the Vandals fired a 313 Wednesday and are at 607. New Mexico State leads the tournament with a 584 and is followed by UT Arlington and San Jose State at 601, UTSA and Utah State at 604, Denver at 606 and the Vandals at 607. Rounding out the field are Texas State (610), Louisiana Tech (615) and Seattle University (623).
The tournament concludes Wednesday.

'The River' is not 'Lost,' just lost in ratings
"The River" doesn't seem destined to be the next "Lost."
Just lost.
The much hyped premiere attracted just over 8 million viewers but the second episode slipped under 7 million. The crucial 18-49 demo that networks cherish also declined by the half-hour. This generally means samplers weren't crazy about what they were seeing and gradually drifted away.
Any further erosion and there will be some question whether the show will complete even its modest 8-episode order–at least during the February sweeps.
What did you think?

Motorola Defy now only £251.99 from Amazon UK, SIM-free and unlocked
The rugged Motorola Defy stands in a niche of its own among Android-powered smartphones, and has always been marketed as a midrange offering, despite the fact that its specs are very good even today. Aside from the ruggedness, it comes with an 800 MHz processor, a 3.7-inch 854×480 capacitive touchscreen, 2GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD card slot), 512 MB of RAM, a 5 MP camera with autofocus, LED flash, and VGA video recording. HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity are also present.
Amazon UK now has a very good offer for those willing to purchase the Defy. If you get it from Amazon, it will only set you back £251.99. That price gets you a SIM-free, unlocked smartphone, as well as free shipping. Keeping in mind that, according to Amazon, the recommended retail price for this device is £349.99, that's a pretty hefty discount.
Perhaps the only downside for this device is the operating system version it's running. It's currently still on Android 2.1. Motorola has promised an update to 2.2 Froyo, but that will only become available in the second quarter of this year, and it's pretty safe to assume that the Defy will not be getting any further updates after that.
If you can live with that though, perhaps you should head straight to Amazon UK and order yours.

Lots of local bands supporting our returning Veterans. Some of these bands are made up of veterans.
The Shredder was host to the Benefit for Lori Stanley. This was an incredible outpouring of generosity by lots of locals bands and businesses. Donated items included two giant quilts made of Local Metal band t-shirts. Also pro gig gear, motorcycle repair and oils changes. Stickers, posters, art, toys etc... Two guitars were also donated. Wow for a small venue like the Shredder it was amazing to see the generosity of people who enjoy brutal music.
Brutal music is what we came for. Starting it all off that night was "Rise of the Fallen". To a sparse and busy crowd they brought the attention to the stage with their power metal sound. Next up, "Trigger Itch". Wow they took over and got everyone going into Brutal mode. Prepping the crowd for "Brutal Season" The new and adjusted band now has members Stymie, JP, Raider,Tim and Brian. This exciting new line up takes the stage like the seasoned pros they are. Bringing the brutallity to their new sound of street metal. Finally up is "Ripchain" bringing their brand of hairy speedmetal the the open eager ears of the Shredder. Overall a sweet and brutal event.
Tonight is a new venue and a varied assortment musical styles. The Vets deserve the same kinda love us metalheds gave Cancer. And tear up the stage and the dance floor. Get out and support this weekend. Easy enough to thank a Vet at this Show. Get to Shorty's NOW! See you there!

Jenny McDowell, Emory University Head Coach, led her team to a 2008 NCAA-DIII National Champions as well as won the award for D-III National Coach of the Year! "Rotating Doubles" is a game-like, competitive drill, which emphasizes movement and communication. This drill can be run on one court or two for maximum effectiveness. Players must rotate on the court and from side to side as they play, each time the ball crosses the net. Individual players keep their own points to 7.
You can add the following variations:
Scramble – Mix up partners so different players must adapt to one another
Point Scoring – can be modified for your level of play. Example: players rotate after each point is scored instead of each rally.

Vespucci University
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 15:54, 20 August 2009 by Videodude1298 (talk) (Created page with ''''Vespucci University School of Law''' is a fancy institute at the fictional neighborhood of Vespucci Circus, Algonquin, [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|L...')
Vespucci University School of Law is a fancy institute at the fictional neighborhood of Vespucci Circus, Algonquin, Liberty City. Niko Bellic, the protagonist of GTA IV, attended the School of Law in his younger days.
Niko Bellic couldn't have attended any school in Liberty City as he mentions frequently to his cousin that he is "fresh off the boat" and "new in the country". That could mean Vespucci University School of Law is actually not in Liberty City, contrary to popular belief; it could alternatively mean that Niko lied to Roman about being new in the country. How else would Niko know where everything is in the city straight away?

At the recommendation of the city's legal counsel, the Vandalia City Council has delayed acting on a request for Tax Increment Financing assistance for the renovation of a downtown building exterior wall.
The council was scheduled to act on a request from Dennis and Debbie Grubaugh for $70,000 in TIF funds to renovate the wall of their building at 507 W. Gallatin St., work that follows the demolition of adjacent buildings last fall.
Grubaugh, who plans to do the work himself, has estimated the total project cost at $160,000.

I can't think of any examples of ambivalent axioms in mathematics (two ideas are ambivalent if there are sometimes conflicts between them), so please let me humor you with a strange example. Suppose someone was working on a mathematical theory of economies and wanted to account for everyone's perspective and also minimize harm. So in addition to these two axioms, "harm" and "perspective" and "valid" would have to be defined:
1) Do no harm 2) All perspectives are valid
So, in the theory, suppose you come to a point where you want to apply axiom 2 but it conflicts with axiom 1, for instance, a portion of the people have a perspective such that if their will were carried out without being moderated by the other peoples' perspective, there would be harm caused to people, some other life on the planet, or the ecosystem. Then what do you do to resolve this conflict? One solution is to "split" the theory into two branches, one in which you ignore 1, and the other in which you ignore the perspectives of that harm-causing group. There are other ways to do this too, but this is just a stupid example anyway.
So with that scenario in mind, when there are ambivalent axioms, the theory branches into a tree of results in a way that is unlike conventional mathematics.
So my questions are, have I made a brain fart? If not, could ambivalent-axiom theories be transformed into conventional non-ambivalent axiom theories after all definitions given? Would this help mathematics at all or is this solely the territory of other sciences like psychology and psychohistory? Is this abuse of the beautiful, well-tested mechanisms of mathematics, and if there were some conflicting idea in a theory it would enter the stage in another way like an "if statement."
My apologies for not thinking this through myself. I'm not in a mathy perspective lately and am lazy :D

Tech accessory makers know that Bluetooth speakers are hot. To the tune of nearly half of all mobile phone owners listen to music and music services on their favorite Bluetooth device.
Audiophiles know the name Harman Kardon for is decades of innovative products, support of headlining professional entertainers and the venues for years and more than 25 million automobiles that today are equipped with Harman audio and infotainment systems.
Sprint is all over the Bluetooth speaker trend and the history of Harman Kardon- enough to partner with them and exclusively offer the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio wireless speaker online and at its stores across the country.
Available for $399.99, the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio speaker is for music lovers that desire the big and true sound of live music, but in their home or office.
"For many customers the smartphone is their primary music experience, so offering all the devices that surround that experience is important," explains David Owens, vice president of Product, Sprint. "Sprint plans to extend its offerings in premium music devices, apps and accessories such as speakers and headphones, and we are excited to collaborate with Harman Kardon to offer Onyx Studio exclusively in the U.S."
How does Harman Kardon describe their speaker:
At just 11 inches in diameter, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio delivers uncompromising audio excellence through four channels of amplification, providing a total of 60W RMS of power through four matched speakers. Dual aluminum passive radiators and Digital Signal Processing enhance the sound, blending clear highs with warm mid-ranges and rich low frequencies. The built-in rechargeable battery provides five hours playing time.
I say this is the perfect speaker for those of you that want to fill your condo, house or backyard with a sound that will keep you wanting more.
"We are pleased to offer Sprint and their customers the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio speaker that seamlessly blends audio excellence with Bluetooth wireless convenience," offers Michael Mauser, president of Harman Lifestyle. "With a sleek, compact design and unparalleled and powerful acoustics, the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio is the ideal solution for today's mobile customers who want to elevate their digital music playback to a premium, yet portable, audio experience."
This is enhanced sound that you will quickly get used to. One won't get performance like this from a $29.99 Bluetooth speaker.
I'm not knocking $29.99 Bluetooth speakers; I'm just saying the Onyx offers more, but that is also why you are paying a premium.
In the mood to discover more music?
Sprint offers music services that customers can try while using Harman Kardon Onyx Studio. It's the the Sprint Zone application, and it's the perfect one-stop destination for customers to discover, purchase and download a wide selection of music apps. This would include Spotify, Slacker Radio, iHeartRadio, Shazam, Sprint Music Plus and Rumpus. Customers can pay for Spotify and Slacker Radio through their Sprint bill.

I had heard about these new Skittles Blenders! through whisperings on the internet. Without a real hint as to where I might find them, I was happy with knowing I'd stumble across them eventually. That's exactly what happened on a work break where my friend and I decided to walk over to a convenience store. We were both suffering from the afternoon slump and figured a quick walk should do the trick, plus she was hankering for some beef jerky. So lo and behold, inside the store, sat these new Skittle. I found candy gold, yay!
The wrapper's color scheme is gorgeous as always with lots of bold, bright colors. The main color base is yellow, which reminds me of the Carnival Skittles from a few years ago. That makes me a little sad because I adored those flavors….ah, *ahem* annnyyways. Yes, Skittles Blenders! yellow color, yes.
Upon openings the package it smells sweet and fruity, and it reminds me of that "pink" strawberry flavor you find with candy sometimes. It's a hard to place, sweet, berry flavor that just reads as a color. The color palette of the Skittle is a strange, some are very intense in hue and others a little pastel.
Melon Berry (blue): This starts off very sweet and fruity. It's hard to lay my finger on it, but yes, it does comes across as honey dew and berries. It gets more tart toward the end of the candy, which is strange. Still, this one was tasty and pleasant.
Strawberry Lime Blast (pink): I immediately taste both flavored at the start. Sweet berry with a hint of floor cleaner. The flavors keep battling for the forefront throughout the entire chew of the candy. One moment it's insanely sweet, the next tastes of chemicals. It's strange.
Watermelon Green Apple Freeze (green): The flavor starts out tasting a tad like bananas before the juicy watermelon flavor starts to kick in. It's tart and is that artificial watermelon flavor. The green apple doesn't kick in until almost the end, where it's even more tart and zesty flavor kicks through. An interesting blend.
Mango Lemonade (orange): Starts off very perfumey and floral. The flavor then mellows out a little and you get a sweetness which is non descriptive. I was looking for hints of lemon but there wasn't any. Instead this has a very pungent taste to it, my take it's the best "chemical" produced flavor for mango they have yet. Strange and a little sad since I was very much looking forward to this one.
Cherry Tropicolada (red): Flavor is generically fruity at first, with hints of banana and pineapple. The cherry shows through for a moment, with its bright "red" flavors, but the juicy taste of the tropics easily drowns it out.
I found these tasty and like regular Skittles I'd eat them again if they were handed to me. I found them much more enjoyable than the Berry and Tropical flavors, but they still don't stand up to the Carnival version in my mind. So if you're a Skittles fan, they're worth a try!

This is a cross selection from five different wedding that I have done in the last several months. I use this as a tool to show prospective clients what they can achieve and what type of images they will get if they hire me to document their special day. The Montreal Wedding was the best wedding I have been to in quite some time they really know how to have a good time.
As an artist, I don't think 'outside the box', but rather I turn the box inside out, upside down, and view everything in the immediate environment as the canvas to create my images. Like an artist in any medium, I dread only the 'block' that may dam the flow of ideas. However, the norm is for internal forces, stories, and images to bubble continuously to the conscious surface of my mind; the question very quickly becomes "Do I create, or do I explode?" In my creative process, depending on the theme or the inspiration of the moment, I make a conscious decision to view the subject a new through compartmentalization. When I encounter an unexpected image, I attempt to expand on it to see what I can create. I then try to match an existing technique to the working theme or create a new technique that suits the inspiration. I also draw inspiration from dreams and find myself distracted from everyday life by images or themes that demand my immediate attention.

June 13, 2011 - With support from University of Richmond faculty and staff and research assistance from Elizabeth Moore, '11, Hedges and Stanley organized "The Art of Hans Gassman" for The Wilton Companies Gallery at UR Downtown.
Future Curators - Mural catalyst for UR Downtown exhibition curated by art history
Hedges and Stanley sought to learn as much as they could about the relatively unknown German artist Hans Gassman (1907-2002), who immigrated to the U.S. in 1947. "Certain details of Gassman's life were either obscure or very difficult to find," Stanley said.
The students began their research with primary sources, including a mural for the Franklin Federal Savings and Loan Association building on Seventh and Broad streets, the current headquarters of UR Downtown. Gassman completed the mural, "The Circulation of Money," in 1956, and it now serves as the centerpiece of UR Downtown's conference room.
In addition to researching the technique and iconography of "The Circulation of Money," Hedges and Stanley studied Gassman's paintings, prints, sketches, and other archival materials, currently on loan to the University from The Wilton Companies.
"One of the biggest challenges with this project was the sheer amount of material that came with it. Going through over 500 pieces of art and then organizing, photographing, and accessioning the objects took the longest amount of time," Hedges said.
Hedges also traced the artist's steps to Norfolk and Virginia Beach to see Gassman's other murals in person. "I was able to learn about the entirety of a career," she said.
Hedges and Stanley chose 45 examples of the artist's work for the exhibition, a stunning display that will remain on view at UR Downtown through October 2011.
"My favorite part of the experience was selecting the works for the exhibition and organizing the layout for the gallery space," Stanley said. "It was very rewarding to see all of the works installed and arranged so beautifully. It made all the hard work and research worth it."
This fall, Stanley will pursue her master's degree in museum studies at Baylor University, while Hedges will return to the University for her senior year with a clear career path in mind.
"Working on the Gassman exhibition helped me to confirm that I wanted to pursue museum work after I had been considering it for some time," Hedges said.

SEATTLE - The Washington baseball team knocked 13 hits and scored three runs over the last two innings, but couldn't quite make it all the way back in a 5-4 loss to USC Friday night at Husky Ballpark.
Washington got a two-out, pinch-hit double from Alex Schmidt to drive in two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but a groundout ended the game with the tying run on second.
Husky shortstop Ty Afenir was 3-for-3 and first baseman Trevor Mitsui went 3-for-4.
Trojans starter Bob Wheatley (3-2) scattered 12 hits over eight innings, giving up just two runs for the win as the Trojans improved to 2-2 in the Pac-12 and 9-13 overall. Reliever Nigel Nootbaar pitched the ninth for his third save, allowing the two runs on one hit.
In the ninth, Mitsui was hit by a pitch and Andrew Ely drew a two-out walk to set up Schmidt, who drove a ball just fair down the right-field line, drawing the UW within a run. But on the next pitch, Nootbaar got a grounder back to the mound to end the game.
USC grabbed the early lead with one run in the first. Bobby Stahel drew a walk to begin the game. After taking third on a one-out single from Blake Lacey, he scored on a James Roberts groundout.
The Trojans added three more in the second. With the bases loaded on two hits and a walk, Lacey singled through the right side, driving in two. James Roberts followed with a groundball to first that took a wild hop to sneak into right, plating another run to stretch the lead to 4-0.
The Huskies (0-4 Pac-12, 4-16 overall), who'd loaded the bases with one out in the second, but didn't score, got on the board in the third. Senior Jayce Ray led off the inning by hooking a double into the right-field corner and Robert Pehl followed with a double to right of his own, driving in Ray.
Meanwhile, UW reliever Tyler Davis, who came on in the second, got on a roll. After giving up a one-out double in the third, he retired 11 in a row, a stretch that included five straight strikeouts.
The Trojans finally got to Davis in the seventh. With the bases loaded on two singles and an intentional walk, pinch hitter Conner Sullivan was hit by a pitch to force in a run. But an infield pop and a fly to center ended the inning with no further damage and USC leading 5-1.
The Huskies got a second run in the eighth when Afenir singled and eventually scored on a double from Joe Meggs.
UW starter Nick Palewicz (2-4) took the loss, allowing four runs in one and two-thirds. Davis ended up working seven and one-third innings, giving up just one run on five hits with seven strikeouts.
The Huskies and Trojans continue the series with a 2:00 p.m. game on Saturday. Sunday's series finale has been moved to a 12:00 noon start.

Richmond secured five more precious points with a four try 26_10 victory against a talented and resilient Clifton side, who were buoyed by their victory the previous week against Hartpury College.
The power of the home pack was the decisive factor and Richmond had to dig deep and remain patient before securing all the points.
With Albanians also winning, Richmond's lead at the top of the table remains six points but chasers Worthing and Henley both lost, to open up the gap between the top two teams and the rest.
After the narrow defeat at St Albans, Richmond made changes at half back, hooker and open side flanker, giving starts to Matt Keville, Tom Drewe, Jason Phipps and Doug Abbott.
Visitors Clifton have a good record against Richmond and started strongly.
Indeed for the first ten minutes, the home side saw little of the ball and struggled to get out of their half.
The visitors took full advantage of their initial impetus, scoring a first try after just eight minutes.
A high kick was allowed to bounce by the hesitant Richmond defence and Clifton seized the loose ball.
With the backs finding some precious open space, centre Jack Gadd ran powerfully before handing on to right wing Sam Smith to finish off with a clear run to the line, Ben Roberts adding a straightforward conversion.
At last Richmond now got into the game and, with the tight scrum looking all powerful, began to get a dominant share of possession and territory.
Matt Keville kicked well to establish camp in or around the Clifton 22 and Richmond drove repeatedly at the Clifton defence.
An error at the line out and a subsequent knock on held up progress but Clifton could not escape and the Richmond forwards turned the screw in the scrums, winning back possession.
After seventeen minutes, a penalty in front of the posts slid wide but Richmond were not to be denied.
Clifton almost escaped with another high kick, which dipped to deceive would be catchers but Kyle Sinckler reacted first and kicked the ball back on the volley, following up vigorously to deny Clifton any space to clear.
Another scrum was now the catalyst for the first try. With the Clifton pack fully engaged in stopping the Richmond drive, Tom Drewe broke round the blind side to pull the defence wide before slipping a pass to No 8 Harry Edwards, who was able to reach out to get the touch down.
However, the remaining twenty minutes of the half was frustrating as Richmond could not add to their score, too many errors costing turnover ball.
In the 36th minute, Roberts compounded the frustration, extending his side's lead with a penalty given for holding on.
Keville made a neat break into the 22 soon afterwards but the follow up pass then went into Clifton hands. It summed up a difficult half, at the end of which Clifton lead 5-10.
Richmond had a big second half job to do.
The game remained in the balance for the first ten minutes of the second half as Richmond struggled to build momentum, wrong options and rushed passes proving too common.
But gradually the forwards upped the tempo and started to penetrate the hard working Clifton defence.
The visitors could find no way out of their 22 as Richmond drove them back with their big forwards now punching holes in the defence.
It was from turnover ball that Richmond scored the second try, Barney Pascall, Will Browne and James Greenwood having combined to get within a metre of the try line.
When the ball was then slowed, referee Jonathan Healy picked out Clifton full back George Karayinas and dismissed him with a yellow card.
Richmond could not gain immediate advantage, two successive line outs going wrong, but the pressure was now unrelenting and the home side remained admirably patient as they went through the phases.
Finally a lovely long pass by Keville put the strong running Edwards through a gap for his tenth try of the season and Tom Platt's conversion gave Richmond the lead.
Looking much more confident, Richmond were soon back in the Clifton 22.
The forwards were now in full control and the backs pressed for the vital tries needed to secure full points.
But Clifton defended well and Richmond could not get good ball out to their wingers, a tendency to cut inside sometimes looking costly.
And it was ultimately the forwards who completed the job as Clifton conceded another scrum in desperate defence.
When the home eight drove forward and the scrum wheeled and collapsed, the referee had seen enough and ran to the posts to award a penalty try.
The main job was completed in the 71st minute. Richmond now looked much more relaxed and fully in control of the match.
George Merrick had replaced Doug Abbott early in the second half and his height and athleticism had proved a useful boost to the pack.
He now scored his first club try, being credited with the final touch as the forwards powered over the line against the tiring and battered Clifton pack.
Referee and linesman conferred before the try was awarded and Richmond had completed another tough afternoon with all main objectives achieved. Fittingly, front five forward Will Warden was adjudged man of the match.

After a recent power outage, we've been re-evaluating how we can most effectively provide, maintain, and support our IT resources.
One idea we've been considering is to move our non-critical infrastructure into the cloud. For example, we could maintain only the following services on-campus:
- DNS (perhaps just a forwarder)
- DHCP (with failover)
- Directory and Kerberos (for network authentication)
...and that's all. With a plan like this, even in the case of a disaster, we'd simply focus on keeping our Internet connection up, and all of our other services would still be available.
I was looking into Amazon EC2, but I'm not committed to anything yet. How have other colleges or businesses gone about doing something like this? Is there a "catch" or hurdle that we should know about? Are there any blogs/forums that might detail an enterprise-level cloud migration?

That cheering you heard was not because Ellen Degeneres made a great joke about healthcare costs doubling just as the Obamacare deadline ads hit the airwaves. It's because Fred Phelps, founder of Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) finally passed away. His obnoxious group of radical (so called) Christians picketed so many military funerals and accosted so many famous LGBT weddings that there is now a line forming... just to get in line to urinate on his grave.
As a person who stood with others to prevent the WBC from picketing a family in mourning, I do not pass judgement on him. If you live by the sword, you die by the sword. He will forever be remembered for what he's done. My wish is that there be a lesson in the way Mr. Phelps is being remembered. May the members of the WBC and radical groups like theirs whom thrive on controversy see the error in their ways. May they stop cherry picking verses of The Bible and start working toward leaving the world a better place. May they find a way to stand for something AND be remembered for something truly good. May they read The Bible and understand;
Don't rejoice when your enemies fall;
don't be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
~ Proverbs 24:17-18
