The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By Kelly Belich, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra
The Friends of The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra's second annual Youth Chamber Music Competition, the final rounds of which will take place March 23-24, saw an interesting innovation this year.
For the first time, the competition's first round was judged via YouTube videos submitted by talented young chamber music ensembles. Entries were received from experienced chamber music players, apprentice groups, and non-competing groups who simply wanted to submit their video for comments. This year's applicants include string trios, string quartets, and a percussion group. Their videos can now be seen on the competition's YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/user/spcoycmc.
The statewide competition is open to pre-college instrumentalists who live in Minnesota or study or coach with someone in Minnesota. Selected groups will advance to the live semifinal round on Saturday, March 23 in Antonello Hall at the MacPhail Center for Music in Minneapolis.
The finals/winners recital will take place on Sunday, March 24 at 2 p.m. at the SPCO Center in Saint Paul. This event is free and open to the public, but reservations should be made by calling 651.291.1144 or by emailing email@example.com.
Also new to the competition this year are partnerships with MNSOTA - Minnesota String and Orchestra Teachers Association, and with MacPhail Center for Music.
More information is available on the competition's website Last year's winning group, Quartet Tzigane, performing in the Marzitelli Foyer at the Ordway before an SPCO concert.

Dear all
I know this is the millionth time this question is asked, but I still haven't managed to find a proper answer for me. However - I'm almost there, so if someone (especially moshu) would like to comment, please do.
I am trying to...
..set up two different pages, each to display the two different categories of posts I have. Then on the frontpage I would like to display the most recent post form one category (with a list of the few recent ones) and then a random post from the other.
I have two very different categories and I want things to work as described above. It wouldn't work with pages. One is 'news' and the other is 'recipies'. And last, but not least, I build the sites navigation menu from the pages. On one page people can click to read the recipies and vice versa
You still with me? Thanks!
So far..
I have managed to get almost there. With the php exec plugin I can execute php code from my page and my code is like this.
global $post;
$postslist = get_posts('category=4');
foreach ($postslist as $post) :

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_content('More..'); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
And what does it do? It displays the posts from my category, as it should EXCEPT the content doesn't come right. You see, it should only display the excerpt and then a link saying 'more' but it doesn't and there lies my problem. Everything else is working fine.
All help appreciated.

sushi guilt!
♥10 years♥ = 3 kids under 6
what do you feel guilty about?
you said it was all cooked and not any fish besides shrimp anyway. that's not included in any warnings against sushi.
♥10 years♥ = 3 kids under 6
I wouldn't feel guilty. What's done is done and if it's really bothering you, then maybe you shouldn't have it again. But odds are that everything will be just fine.
I eat raw sushi while pregnant, so don't feel bad! I don't go out for sushi everyday, but I'll eat it. Don't worry about what others say to you....This is your pregnancy and you'll do as you see fit! :)

Ignore whoever is giving you grief! You have nooo reason to feel guilty about the sushi you ate. The only sushi you really need to avoid are those that contain fish that are high in mercury like tuna and sushi from shady places (I include any place where sushi is not their specialty, grocery stores, food court sushi, and anywhere that is not immaculately clean). You don't need to worry that it is cooked if it is quality fish. Do you think women in Japan avoid eating sushi when they're pregnant?

I've eaten sushi a few times. Once even had a little raw salmon in a roll.
All in moderation. And definitely make sure it is a very reputable place.
Agree with PP^^ about women in Japan avoiding sushi! That was the argument used when I wouldn't eat it at first!
oh man i love sushi!! dang now i really want it...and its an hour drive to get it and im at work...dang the cravings!! :)

What do you guys think of my blog? Any suggestions?
What do you guys think of my blog? Any suggestions?
I just realized that with Internet Explorer, my images look all skinny.. or some of them do.. bleh..
The layout looks good once the page finally loads. It took about 30 seconds on a cable modem. You might possibly consider optimizing the photos in the posts; they're over 717 KB, which is pretty big. It might speed the page up a lot. The Guido article was funny.
Ah, you're right.. I'll definitely see what I can do to optimize those images :) Thanks for the feedback
Sweet, well I got both images to around 50kb, down from 250 and 450kb each... huge improvement..
I will optimize the rest of the pictures tonight :) Thanks for the heads up

I was planning on carrying a 150 z-Flick as my overstable distance disc but think maybe a teebird or gazelle would be better to complement the leopard. I just got a star leopard @ 150 because I heard it was "glidy-er". So I guess the flick as an overstable driver at 150 grams would be pretty hard to make work consistantly?

Photos: Ambunda Grabs Kameda By The Throat at Presser
By Rene Perez
Things got very tense at the final press conference. Tomoki "Mexicanito" Kameda (27-0, 18KOs) will go for his first world title on August 1st at the Cebu City Waterfront Hotel & Casino in Barangay Lahug, Cebu City. Kameda got a quick welcome to the big leagues, when WBO bantamweight champion Paulus Ambunda (20-0, 10KOs) grabbed his throat. Ambunda was calmed down by the President of the WBO. Tomoki, 22-years-old and the youngest of the fighting Kameda brothers, wants to make history by winning world title and completing the family goal of becoming the first trio of brothers to win major world titles. Older brother Koki and Daiki Kameda have captured world crowns.

The Garden Apartment is a cosy yet spacious and bright space to be in, located in the lower part of a Swiz style wooden house. The lodge has been newly decorated with a modern feel.
There are two rooms bed rooms, one double and one twin room. The double room has a beautiful wooden bed with a sweet Kath Kidston feel to it, with views of the woodland. The other room is slightly smaller with 2 single beds perfect for two children and a little space which can also sleep another child, or the two single can be changed into a king double bed for another couple. There are also two double sofa beds which can be made up for another 4 people.
If you do book with us please can you ensure you forward us your bedding requirements so we can leave out the appropriate items. This would be a great help thank you xx
The Kitchen, dining area and lounge are all open plan which lead onto the deck. The kitchen is fully equipped with Fridge, Freezer, induction hob, and all kitchen equipment. The bathroom consists of a corner bath with shower, toilet and sink. There is a lovely wood burner, we don't provide logs but they can be purchased on site.
The tranquil garden apartment is situated in 3 acres of woodland surrounded by an enormous amount of wildlife such as the famous red squirrels, birds, dragonflies, butterflies and many other wonderful creatures.
Whilst being set in a tranquil woodland setting the Garden Lodge is not far from the beach, the village, transport routes making it easily accessible from the mainland.. The beach and local pub is just a 10 minute walk away and Quarr Abbey with its beautiful architecture and gardens as well as lovely tea rooms selling home made delights is only a 15 minute walk.
This retreat is only a 5 minute drive from the Wightlink car ferry, a direct link to Portsmouth making commuting here from the mainland very easy. Its a perfect get away for families or couples with lots of things to do on the Isle of Wight or just a hide away retreat.
This type of place would suit people who are looking for an eco-friendly type of holiday. I ask that you bring eco-friendly washing up and liquid and laundry soap. I do not accept smoking in or around the grounds and we do not accept large single party bookings such as stag or hen parties. This would suit people who are looking for tranquillity and peace. During the winter months you are welcome to use the log burner but we would request that you purchase your own wood or bring it with you.
We do offer yoga, art and bushcraft sessions here, if you would like to have a family or 1:1 session please enquire when you have booked the Garden Apartment. We will happily tailor the sessions to suit your needs and requirements. Prices available on application.
All linen and towels are provided at no extra cost.
This super little hideaway is perfect for those nature lovers amongst you or those who are looking to get away from it all. A hassle free experience. We look forward to meeting you. With love from all the Woodland Retreat.
Guests are asked to arrive after 4pm and leave by 10am. Please find us at PO334EY. You go down Fishbourne Lane and take the first left (opp garage) called Ashlake Copse Road. You then take the first left which is located on the first bend you come to which if you carried on would veer around to the right. You don't go around the bend but take the left down the little hill on the bend. You keep to the left and you will see a sign called 'The Plantation' keep to the left and you will arrive on the drive. Once in the take the first left and park to the right of the garage and to the left of the veggie patch. There is room for two cars in this area and parking is free.
What People are saying
' What a fantastic retreat and a very lovely host. A good base for us to explore the area and the whole Island. The flat is very equipped and we all enjoyed squirrel watching at dusk on the deck. Our first time to the Isle of Wight and we all wish to return' Mike, Hilary, Ben and Lola Bristol
'Thank you so much for a lovely warm welcome. A beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings. Amanda, and Peter Nottingham
'Stunning surroundings, lovely host and a peaceful retreat. Perfect for cosy nights by the log burner and a calm weekend away. Definitely would come back.' Elycia, Nick and Elliot London
'Has a wonderful time crab fishing, swimming, climbing and eating. What a great place to stay! The children really enjoyed blackberry picking, squirrel spotting, bird watching and of course arguing! in such beautiful surroundings. Thank you Maitri, We love the place.' Peter and family London
I grew up in this beautiful house amongst this tranquil woodland. My Father built the house for our family to live in. He used the wood from the land and even built some of the house with a tree that had fallen from Osborne House. The lodge part of the house is so cute and cosy as well as bright and clean. Its a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I love living here it is truly blissful.
The little apartment has everything you need. It was clean and quite with wonderful views into the woods. It has a lovely patio where we enjoyed our breakfast and relaxed in the sunshine. The owner of the place is a lovely helpful lady who made us feel really welcome. She teaches yoga and art classes in a nearby studio. The apartment is located at a tucked away property, really peaceful and still only 5 min to the car ferry . From here you can go for nice walks into the woods , the beach and the close Quarr Abbey. It is only 10 min drive to Ryde and 15 min to Newport . If you don't have a car you can catch a bus at the top of the road. We are looking forward to coming back again in autumn.
Lovely and clean apartment in a quiet and beautiful woodland setting. the owner clare was very friendly and helpful too. we really enjoyed our stay!
This beautiful woodland retreat was a delight to spend time at, a perfect place for some R+R. The moment I arrived I had a sense of peace and serenity. The apartment is set in a delightful and majestic broadleaved woodland with a great abundance of birds, red squirrels and other wildlife, the highlight being a nesting pair of Buzzards! It was fun to watch as they would swooped down every now and then making their iconic call chasing off the disgruntled local grows who were cheekily attempting to muscle in on their domain. The flat itself was perfect for my stay, warm, cosy, very clean and comfy to sleep in. As well as a nice shower the bathroom had the added bonus of a large tub that two folks can fit in! The kitchen provided everything one could need, with both a fridge and separate freezer and another bonus was the fitted washing machine. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this adorable woodland retreat. A stones throw from the Wightlink Ferry via Portsmouth and a wonderful public cycle path near by, I highly recommend this little piece of heaven is an ideal base to explore the entire island.
This place is a lovely house into the woods with lots of chances to spot some of Isle of Wight wild life beauties. House is fully furnished and well presented with in minutes walk from a local pub and ferry terminal, Tesco until 10:30pm in 20 min walk and sea front in 10 min walk through the Island walking path.
Absolutely beautiful place! We had a wonderful time. The lodge was clean and bright. If it was chilly we would light the wood burning stove that was fun in itself. The owner was extremely helpful and lovely. My children loved exploring the woods, nearby Fishbourne and Wootton. We found travelling around the island on the buses very easy from our location.
Clare met us and gave us a full run through of the workings of apartment and gave us a file of all amenities around. We can recommend the Chinese takeaway. Our party, four adults one baby, plenty of room for all, inc our own travel cot. Please adhere to the Eco rules of the place as to not spoil it for everyone else. Weather was against us, but managed to have some time sitting on the porch in the sun waiting to see the red squirrels in the trees that surround the apartment which gives you the feeling of being miles from anywhere. Our king size bed was very comfy, I went out like a light! You will hear someone moving in the upstairs property, if you can just ignore that, you will have a really lovely holiday, I just hope you won't book when we would like to visit again! PS: if there is something you require that is not on Clare's facilities list, ask her to see if she can help eg, for us she organised a TV and microwave. Thanks again Clare xx

IMB 2009: Top technology trends
By just-style.com | 29 April 2009
Despite taking place against a gloomy economic backdrop, the IMB - World of Textile Processing trade show in Cologne last week certainly didn't disappoint when it came to new products and innovations. As this roundup of some of the technical highlights shows, faster time-to-market, better quality and lower cost are the drivers behind the latest developments.
Amann Group launched its Blue Sky Technology, which tackles forgery by protecting brand names and quality through intelligent sewing and embroidery threads. A new range of Lifecycle Threads is made from 100% recycled polyester.
AMF Reece's eyelet buttonhole machines have been expanded with the fully electronic model S-311 Ultraflex for use on jacket lapels or applications where buttonhole types change regularly. For trouser and skirt production, the DP-3500 is an automatic short seamer for darts and waistband pleats that can be used by inexperienced operators. And the new EBS Mark II electronically controlled button sewing and wrapping machine duplicates the quality of hand sewn buttons which stand away from the jacket front with a tightly wrapped shank.
AMP Pisani launched new machinery for moulding bra cups. Model P88 is used for foam cups and can adjust the thickness of the cups in 0.1mm increments. Unit P92 is recommended for pre-cut fabric pieces, and handles around 350 cups per hour.
Anne Selby showed the Compleat Arashi Shibori Wrapping Machine that mimics that Japanese technique of over wrapping fabric on a pole with string, and compressing it into pleats. The machine can also over-dye the fabric and steam-set the dyes and pleats.
Arvato Systems Technologies and Porini have bundled their software solutions into a fashion package based on the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 ERP system. It includes financial management, human resources, production, distribution, SCM, CRM, project management and BI, and helps manage a product over its entire lifecycle. Using Porini Visuals, the standard ERP functionality can be expanded to include tools for product development, quality control, analysis, and monitoring.
Audaces used IMB as the launch-pad for what it claims is the world's first vertical plotter. The space-saving Tower Jet combines different speed options and printing widths of 143cm, 163cm, 173cm and 183cm, and can use paper rolls of up to 250m in length.
Avery Dennison introduced a new high-speed double sided printer - the SNAP 700 - for producing apparel and retail tags, labels and tickets. The unit prints at 12ips or 300mm per second and features voice-assisted operation and maintenance prompts in seven languages. It is also available with RFID technology to read and write RFID tags.
The company also rolled out its new 3002T recycled polyester woven-edge satin tape made from yarn derived from recycled plastic bottles; and Eco Stretch Transfers which are 100% water-based and PVC free for a wide range of skin contact applications. It also displayed Digital High-Definition Transfers that allow customers to combine size data, care content, colour-by-size, micro printing and bar codes with multicolour heat transfer graphics.
Consorzio F.I.T. showcased a new shape of shoulder pad - called "saddled" shoulder pads - designed for classical jackets.
Dürkopp Adler unveiled its new free arm machine class M-Type Class 669 at IMB, as well as the newly developed special chainstitch machine Class 175 for processing difficult-to-feed outerwear materials.
Ecotech Software's Stage PPC (Production Planning Tool) interfaces with its Stage ERP software and can be used to collect information on production, fabric, sample status and delays on the planning board. From the planning board, information on a style can be accessed from Stage ERP.
Erbé's 'intelligent linking machine' was the winner of the IMB Innovation Award. This new machine can make a seam at a speed of 460 stitches per minute - the collars on cuffs are linked stitch by stitch. This patented process is claimed to be a world-first, turning traditional linking into a basic sewing operation. As well as time savings, other benefits include ease of use: it covers several gauges in just a few clicks and can also be operated remotely.
Eton Systems introduced its all-new Eton 5000 manufacturing and management solution which features the Eton 5000 syncro material handling system, Eton select shop floor and management software, and Training & Support Services.
Fast React Systems has developed its range planning and costing module FastReact to accurately plan and cost for a new season or collection. For manufacturers, it now includes the capability to automatically plan and schedule multiple departments, for example cut and sew or knit and finish.
FastReact Sourcing also offers enhanced 'collaborative planning', which can communicate from buying office to vendors electronically, for better visibility, faster response, and reduced manual work and errors.
Gipsy Industries launched Anyapply, which it claims is the first semi-automatic machine that allows a single operator to glue any kind of rhinestone to almost any type of material.
Grafis-Software's CAD offers a complete workstation for patternmaking, grading, marker making and the import and export of pattern files. The interactive pattern blocks enable the user to alter a men's jacket from single to double-breasted, as well as for lapel and collar variations. The company's new BizzoFlex PDM software allows Grafis users to manage styles, markers and trimmings.
Human Solutions presented its new Vitus Smart LC2 3D body scanner for the first time - which it describes as a fast, non-evasive way to generate 3D body dimensions. The unit takes up less space than previous models. The company also introduced its iSize portal, being launched later this year, which allows apparel makers to check international databases of body dimensions.
Its Figura 3D solution also allows designers to try garments on 3D avatars with real body dimensions to save time and money in the collection development process.
Impression Technology Europe has developed a new ink delivery method for its direct to garment printers. The White Ink Management System (WIMS) agitates and re-circulates the white ink on a continual basis, eliminating ink sedimentation and the need for periodic machine maintenance.
The Hong Kong Institute of Textiles & Clothing presented its Intelligent Real-time Decision Support (IRDS) system for quick-response apparel production planning and control. The system can help manufacturers plan and balance production for quick response, and can be linked to RFID or bar-code based production tracking systems. Three modules predict the efficiency of each operator, the progress and completion time of each order, and the balance of each assembly line.
Intex Professional's Intex ERP system helps analyse, plan, implement, evaluate specific business processes. A new Graphical User Interface (GUI) means form layouts can be customised to specific user requirements. The system has been enhanced with new modules including MDM (Manufacturing Data Management), scope analysis of finished goods, data warehouse, and a warehouse management system for internal logistics.
Koppermann Computersysteme has added new features to its Tex-Store and Tex-Design software. Tex-Store is a tool that helps merchandisers, floor planners, product managers, and designers to create the best visual and economically viable presentation of a collection. User can now create a multiple page planogram booklet in PDF file format detailing the sales floor, which is automatically updated when a new there or collection arrives.
New functions in Tex-Design include a new file format that enables large image files to be saved as small files, and a redesign of the desktop. A company-specific stitch library can also be created, with users given the option to create a personal library of frequently used stitches.
Lawson Software used the show to announce a new Service Pack for the Lawson Fashion PLM application, which offers 20 new features. The web-based suite helps manage products, from design through production, and the new enhancements include improved filtering of user and business partner lists, new links between modules, better flagging of raw materials exported to the library, a Quick Launch menu and more powerful search capabilities. A new free text field for describing fabric constructions, availability of Pantone codes when selecting colours, and a sample type column enhance the information held in the system.
Lectra's latest innovations include a new version of its Modaris pattern-making solution (V6R1), with new construction tools to speed up pattern development as well as meaning fewer garment samples need to be produced.
Its Kaledo design software (suite V2) has also been updated with features such as multi-colour, space-dye, and fancy yarns for the development of complex knits and woven fabrics; and faster manipulation of repeats. And the Vector cutting range has been expanded with the Vector FX Extended for precision cutting of luxury suits. Used with the new Mosaic pattern recognition system, it can process difficult-to-match stripes and checks.
Pegasus presented chainstich machines with its minimal lubrication system, MLS plus, to prevent oil stains and splashes at high sewing speeds.
Porini, which exhibited with its German partner Arvato Systems Technologies, unveiled its 'Collaboration Sourcing Module,' a new product integrated with its PLM tool which brings together a number of planning, scheduling and tracking activities into a single software package.
PTC's FlexPLM Adobe Design Module is an add-on to the FlexPLM Adobe Illustrator Integration, and enables designers to create products in FlexPLM from within Adobe Illustrator. By having instant access to FlexPLM's colour and material libraries, users can quickly create product ideas and generate "design cards" in FlexPLM. This helps in the creation of more innovative designs and accelerates time-to-market through better design efficiency.
Red Ledge showed its Genus hanging garment scanning system, a high speed tool that processes up to 9000 singles per hour. The patented feed mechanism separates each garment and can handle a mix of metal and plastic hangers without the need for adjustment. It scans either front, back or side barcoded labels, with an RFID version available as an option.
RSG Rombold System launched a new version of its CTMS (colour thread monitoring system) which can be retro-fitted to different sewing equipment. The modules now include CTMS, remaining thread monitor, upper thread monitor, hot thread cutting, and vacuum thread catcher, which can be used together or individually.
Shapely Shadow's new FastFit360.com is an exciting web-based tool that allows retailers and suppliers to view samples and communicate style and fit changes visually over the internet. Images can be viewed as photographs or in 360° format (using FastFit studio), changes to a garment can be highlighted visually to avoid confusion, and a thread of comments helps eliminate any confusion.
Its goal is to speed up the design and fit process by passing work back and forth between offices, with smooth hand-offs, in a manner that lends to round-the-clock global work hours. There are also cost savings as fewer samples need to be shipped and stored.
Shiro International introduced a compact version of its Fuwari cutting machine for the production of 3D embroidery. Instead of the traditional flat parallel stitches, the designs stand up to 5mm vertical to fabric.
SICoM showed an automatic machine for applying different sized eyelets and rivets over an area of 430mm x 400mm. Model M15-CN has a patented universal applicator head, which can also be adjusted to apply nail-heads and rhinestones.
TPC, based in Hong Kong, unveiled its Parametric Pattern Generator (PPG) software which creates virtual garments on a customised 3D virtual body form (avatar) and displays the related 2D patterns in real time. The integrated sizing and fit tool replicates the traditional fitting process from 3D to 2D in a virtual 3D environment. Originally developed for the made-to-measure business, PPG can also be used by the mass production ready-to-wear sector too. 'Morphological grading,' the company says, replaces arithmetical grade rules and ensures better fitting garments.
Wilcom International's latest version of its EmbroideryStudio software (e1.5) offers improved stitch quality and design tools combined with CorelDRAW X4, providing digitisers with a new way of creating multi-decoration designs.
Wings Systems' eXPerience (Wings' XP) Version 4 embroidery software integrates the latest software technologies and embroidery machine features. A new 3D environment provides a better overview of the design so that complicated embroidery designs are easier to produce. Features include curved direction on stitches and 3D effects.

Welcome to my website. I'm Robin and here I share a bit about the things that interest me. Here you will find articles on:
And maybe others. Check out the menu on the left. Be patient, I am only just starting to rebuild the site. It will take time to cover all of these.
Last night I went to see the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in Portsmouth Guildhall for a programme of Mussorsky, Scriabin and Berlioz. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, but it did set me thinking and wondering what sort of future exists for classical concerts in places like Portsmouth.
Comfortably installed for the annual Febstock weekend with friends. Much beer being drunk. Much good food and good music to come.
I've not done a lot to the site for a while. I really need to find the time. An update on the sailing front is that I have completed my Dinghy Instructor Pre Assessment the other weekend. it was good to be back in a dinghy for the first time in a couple of years, even if it was cold and windy!
I've added a new theme to the site for mobile users. It should work automatically from a mobile device. There's also quite a bit more content been added.
I've added an introductory page on offshore sailing. (More to follow). I've also created a gallery of pictures from the "Three Men on a Boat" Broads trip.
I've added stuff about the annual Three Rivers Race. Look on the Sailing menu.
Well I've finally got round to starting a rebuild of the website. This time it's based on Drupal, so a bit of a learning curve coming up. Over the coming weeks I intend to resurrect some old content and introduce some new stuff. Enjoy!

Fire has damaged a Johnston antique shop.
It started around 4:45 p.m. Friday at the Bisbee Wood and Wire on Merle Hay Road.
Fire crews knocked it down within 20 minutes.
There were no injuries, but there was a partial collapse to the ceiling.
Officials say the fire probably originated with some construction underway at the building.

Aditya Pancholi Spotted At Jiah Khan Apartment By CCTV On The Night Of Her Death
Rabiya Khan, mother of Jiah Khan has released CCTV images of Aditya Pancholi in her apartment the night Jiah died. Jiah used to reside in the Sagar Sangeet Apartment. The footage was obtained by Dailybhaskar and it shows a disturbed Rabiya Khan entering the building. Aditya was accompanying Rabiya from the party and was captured looking confused whether to enter the house or wait in the lobby of the building.
When Aditya spots the camera, he decides to walk away from it. In a petition filed by Rabiya in the Bombay high court, it reads, "When the petitioner watched the CCTV footage, it became evident to her that even though Aditya Pancholi had dropped Munnu and Anju Mahendru at her residence, he was still lingering around in the building. He was also seen making a phone call to someone and looked in a confused state of mind. Aditya did not went to Jiah's house and after sometime Munnu came down to inform him that Jiah was no more."
The petition further read, "Another interesting point is that even though Sooraj Pancholi says that he was the boyfriend of Jiah, he never visited the house even though the news of her death had spread in the media. Aditya Pancholi came to the house after the post-mortem of Jiah and he was cursing Sooraj for wrecking everything." Go through the slides to view the CCTV images.

Erie's Barber National Institute sees subminimum wages as beneficial
For the past two years, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. most every weekday, Richard Hauser, who is intellectually disabled, has worked.
Hauser, 57, spends most of his day sitting or standing in a bright 11,000-square-foot building the Dr. Gertrude A. Barber National Institute owns near the foot of East Avenue, across from the institute's headquarters.
On a recent day, Hauser and his colleagues, also intellectually disabled, put together assembly kits. They sat at a table and placed washers, nuts and bolts, metal rods and instruction sheets on a mat.
Hauser said he enjoys the assembly work, but not as much as one of his other jobs, which is helping to snap lids on new plastic mugs. As do many of his fellow workers, Hauser said he likes the repetition.
And why does Hauser like to work in general?
"I like it," said Hauser, who lives in a group home. "I work here. Sometimes I sing. Sometimes I talk."
He responded quickly when asked how much he gets paid: $40 every two weeks, or 50 to 60 cents an hour.
Hauser said he has no problem with his earnings, which are based on rates for piece work. If he wants, he said, the "staff will give me some more work."
Hauser is one of more than 300 intellectually disabled people who are paid less than the minimum wage for work they perform through the Barber National Institute.
The institute is the sixth-largest employer in Pennsylvania for workers with disabilities who receive what the federal government classifies as "special minimum wages," according to an analysis by the Pittsburgh-based PublicSource.
The Barber National Institute also employs another 80 or so intellectually disabled people in jobs that pay at least the full minimum wage, currently $7.25 an hour. Some of those employees tend the grounds of the institute, while the institute pays others to work in the community, performing janitorial services and other basic tasks for nonprofits and businesses.
Barber National Institute officials said they are aware of the recurring national debate over whether the special minimum wage program, allowed under a Depression-era law, is exploitative or beneficial to intellectually disabled workers.
The officials said the program allows people who might not be able to work in regular jobs, primarily because they move at a slow pace, to make money while learning other skills.
The institute's chief executive, John Barber, said the federal law that established the program recognized that "some people's productive ability is impaired, and their ability to compete in the open job market is compromised.
"In a world where there is a finite number of jobs, a person whose ability to compete is compromised may be completely shut out," Barber said.
Training opportunities
The program is voluntary, and where Barber National Institute clients work depends on their skill levels and what they want to do, said Paul Causgrove, manager of the institute's prevocational services. He said the clients learn how to socialize -- a skill the institute considers as important as learning how to work -- and that many clients use their paychecks on bills and other personal expenses.
"It is really not a job," Causgrove said. "It is job training."
He spoke on a recent tour of the building where Richard Hauser works. A total of 88 people have jobs there.
"This is their social time," said Mark Delio, the Barber National Institute's director of intellectual disability services. "These are their friends."
The Barber National Institute, one of the region's largest nonprofits, had 2,546 employees and $66.1 million in total expenses in 2011-12, the most recent fiscal year for which the figures are available.
The institute's top executives are among the highest paid among the region's social-service nonprofits and foundations, with John Barber earning $297,110 in total compensation in the 2011-12 fiscal year.
The Barber National Institute in 2012 had 332 people enrolled in the special minimum wage program, according to records the U.S. Department of Labor provided to PublicSource. The department requires the filing of such records every two years.
The Barber National Institute clients work at the building on East Avenue and four other locations: on West 16th Street, and in Corry, Girard and Bridgeville, near Pittsburgh. The jobs include putting together the assembly kits, working on the mugs, putting stuffing in and lids on small boxes for jewelry, putting labels on mailings and unwrapping plastic from jars of jelly.
The Barber National Institute, which receives public funding, is under contract with private businesses to do the work. The institute pays the employees and gets compensated from the private businesses at a rate that covers the employees' pay, plus a small amount of overhead, officials said.
"We pretty much break even," John Barber said. "We may lose a little bit."
Setting the rates
The workers who received subminimum wages through the Barber National Institute in 2012 were paid as little as an average of 22 cents an hour and as high as an average of $7.08 an hour for assembly and packaging jobs, according to the Labor Department.
The institute, like any other employer in the program, is required to make sure the special minimum wages are commensurate with regular wages, when each worker's productivity is taken into account. The program is covered under Section 14 (c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which Congress passed in 1938 and which established the minimum wage, overtime and other labor rules. Congress in 1986 passed a law that allows for no floor on special minimum wages.
According to the Labor Department, special minimum wages must be "based on the worker's individual productivity, no matter how limited, in proportion to the wage and productivity of experienced workers who do not have disabilities performing essentially the same type, quality and quantity of work in the geographic area from which the labor force of the community is drawn."
The Barber National Institute established its special minimum wages by examining standard productivity for each of the tasks the workers perform. According to the Labor Department filings, the institute used those productivity rates to determine a piece rate, or how much a regular worker would receive for performing each task under the standard minimum wage.
The institute pays the disabled workers based on that piece rate. How much a worker makes an hour is based on how many assembly kits, for example, that worker puts together, no matter how long it takes.
The special minimum wage program "throws away the concept of time," Causgrove said. "It allows people to do what they can do."
He said the Barber National Institute could not afford to pay all of the workers regular minimum wages. He said their productivity would be too low to make paying those wages cost-effective.
"What we would get from the company would never offset what we pay in payroll," Causgrove said.
Without the special minimum wage program, he said, many of the workers, such as Richard Hauser, would have trouble finding jobs.
"If all our people could work at a competitive level," Causgrove said, "they would."
The program gives the employees "the dignity that comes along with earning a paycheck," John Barber said. "Are these family-sustaining jobs or jobs that make you totally independent? The answer is no.
"But they are a step along the road to competing fully in the private sector. I think they have a place. We want everyone to have a well-rounded life, and work is part of a well-rounded life."

The competitive landscape for business-applications software is changing. To understand how, get out an atlas and look for Vedbaek, Denmark, then Fargo, N.D. What do those outposts, 4,300 miles apart, have in common? The answer is in Redmond, Wash. Microsoft officials have been racking up frequent-flier miles for the past year, methodically acquiring and developing products aimed at a large and still largely fragmented market: business applications for small and midsize companies. A year ago, Microsoft acquired application developer Great Plains Software for $1.1 billion, and two weeks ago, it snapped up Navision for $1.3 billion. Related to it all, the company has been working internally to develop a suite of customer-relationship management apps that's due later this year.
Though success isn't a sure thing, Microsoft wants to sell small and midsize companies low-cost, ready-to-assemble enterprise resource planning, supply-chain, financial, and other run-the-business applications. The blueprint calls for Web services to weave them all together. Not coincidentally, Microsoft's Office XP desktop applications, Visual Studio.Net development tools, and Windows operating systems also are important elements.
The results of the strategy are already showing up in Microsoft's earnings reports. For the recently reported fiscal third quarter, Microsoft eked out a 5% gain in business-software sales, even though revenue from Office declined slightly. What saved the day? "Great Plains revenue offset the decline," Microsoft's financial report says. That's right, Great Plains, the Fargo, N.D., developer of ERP apps that's now part of Microsoft's business solutions division.
Look, too, at Microsoft's investments. At a time when major applications vendors find it harder to sell their wares--license revenue fell 30% at Oracle, 12% at SAP, and 28% at Siebel Systems in their most recent quarters--Microsoft this month reached into its $38.7 billion cash reserve to buy Navision, an obscure Danish vendor of accounting and supply-chain software. Microsoft plans to make Navision's headquarters outside of Copenhagen the hub for its European operations when the deal closes in August.
As Gates envisions the world, desktop and business applications will be woven together via Web services to let IT departments mix and match applications across networks, with less middleware, custom integration, and consulting work. Microsoft officials give the example of an Excel spreadsheet user accessing inventory data from a supplier's remote server. This desktop-to-back office architecture, seamlessly linking people and systems within and across companies, will provide an IT backbone for collaborative business, Gates says. The linchpin will be XML, the development language and Web-services standard, incorporated in development tools, databases, and the apps themselves.
"Most customers have to buy discrete pieces of applications, but there's no integration framework," says Kerry Gerontianos, president of New York software developer Incremax Technologies and of the International Association of Microsoft Certified Partners. "I'm not suggesting I'm going to become a Great Plains or Navision expert anytime soon, but because of Web services, I can write interfaces to them. That opens up opportunities to me."
The opportunity to sell such software to small and midsize companies is there. Less than 15% of the 5 million to 6 million U.S. companies with fewer than 500 computer users have CRM software installed, estimates the Aberdeen Group. Many independent software vendors have targeted business applications at the midmarket--FrontRange, Interact Commerce, J.D. Edwards among them--but the market still is "fragmented, and nobody has a big R&D pool" devoted to it, Gates says. Someone does now. Microsoft plans to spend "hundreds of millions" annually on its application initiative, Gates adds.
Microsoft could be uniquely positioned to deliver standardization and integration in the midmarket apps sector. Its drag-and-drop software has always been relatively easy to use, and new products that approximate the look and feel of Office will require less user training by companies. With its far-reaching reseller channel, Microsoft also knows how to turn new products into franchises--witness the rise of its SQL Server database.
But Microsoft faces competition and skepticism. Larry Walker, director of IT at Saint-Gobain Semiconductor Inc. in San Jose, Calif., a unit of the $28 billion Saint-Gobain Group, questions the vendor's experience in the notoriously complex market. "I never thought of Microsoft as that kind of a vendor," Walker says. The manufacturer is installing apps from Adonix, a French ERP vendor. "ERP software is complex at any company," and managers need to evaluate it in terms of features, installation, and ongoing support, Walker says. "I don't know that Microsoft's support organization would be able to handle it. ... It's a big, big chunk for a company to take on."
And ERP buying decisions often fall to finance executives, who have less exposure to Microsoft's legion of Windows-Office-SQL Server resellers. "Finance people look for tried-and-true apps," says Peter Osbourne, manager of $769 million Dollar Rent A Car Systems Inc.'s advanced technology group in Tulsa, Okla. "That's a tough market to crack."
Does Microsoft plan to sell its applications to larger companies? Gates insists that won't happen, because there's simply no room for a newcomer. "If you go to a CIO and say, 'It's your lucky day. You get to put in a totally new piece of ERP software,' that guy is going to say, 'You're nuts. I don't care what it does.'"
Indeed, Gates is quick to correct anyone who even asks about Microsoft's intentions in the enterprise-applications market. "It's not enterprise," Gates says. "Don't use that term because that sounds like we're trying to do the thing we're not trying to do."
Instead, Microsoft plans to sell Great Plains and Navision apps as separate offerings to companies with up to $800 million in annual revenue that the vendor can reach through resellers. Navision's Attain and Axapta integrated ERP products run mostly on Windows and SQL Server, and its resellers are already licensed to sell Microsoft products.
When he announced the Navision acquisition, Microsoft senior VP Doug Burgum said the company is more likely to focus "down market" than up. In other words, Microsoft may be planning to drive down prices for midmarket applications. For about $100,000--at the high end--Great Plains customers can buy a fully configured financial-management system for 20 users, including deployment costs. Navision sells a 12-user system for about $80,000. Those prices barely get customers in the door with Oracle and SAP.
Microsoft won't say how much it will charge for its CRM suite, due by the end of December, but analyst Fletcher estimates it will be priced at about $500 per user, or a tenth of what Siebel's applications can cost. "Microsoft's acquisition will eventually frustrate these tier-one vendors in the middle market," predicts Forrester Research analyst Charles Homs.
Still, Microsoft will find itself competing with vendors that have strong selling points, including more experience and best-of-breed products. Keith Knutter, director of IT for Microsoft customer Tilia Inc., a San Francisco maker of kitchen products with 150 employees, says he has no interest in moving away from Siebel's "industry-leading" CRM applications.
Don't be surprised if Microsoft or other companies offer Microsoft's apps as hosted services. Despite the difficulty application service providers have had getting customers, Microsoft's apps will be designed so they can be hosted--a model Gates says is viable for small businesses--or run on a company's own servers. "The basic idea that you ought to be able to run some of these things remotely, with the cost of fiber as cheap as it is--it's not that crazy," he says.
Making its products more distributed also means changes to Microsoft Office. In January, Microsoft released two Web-services toolkits that let Office XP users pull data into Excel and other applications from Web sites. FedEx, General Motors, and JetBlue Airways are testing the technology. David Lifka, chief technical officer at Cornell Theory Center, a computing research center that collaborates with Microsoft Research, says he has advised engineering companies about using load-balancing tools in Visual Studio.Net to write Excel calculations that begin on a user's PC, then scale up to a server. "You're offloading all that computing in a seamless way," he says.
So, even while Gates has turned the entire company's attention to improving the quality and security of its products (see story,"Code It Right The First Time Is Microsoft's New Mantra"), he's also embarking on a broad and ambitious applications strategy.
Still got that atlas handy? Look for Microsoft's application business somewhere between No Man's Land and Pay Dirt.

Fell the same about the level of detail but if there's going to be sequel then they've already kind of blown their load, as the levels cover every kind of terrain there could be, villages, castles, ruins, swamps, deserts, snow, mountains, forests, clock towers, laboratories etc
and the gameplay needs some big tweaks, the climbing and jumping needs to be a lot smoother, as does combat.
The dodge needs to be more accurate, you can be dodging but still get hit by an enemy even if it's at the beginning of the animation for example an enemy could lift a sword above their head to hit you and but you'll still take damage before the swords near you
if combat played like Bayonetta or DMC it would be perfect

Coincidence? I think not. The old saying is "Spare the rod and spoil the child." I believe that too! This current generation seems to have a sense of entitlement. When I was a kid our parents never gave us anything, not an allowance and certainly not a dang car!
I'll tell you what my parents DID give me: Room, board, an education, family meals every night and lots of love. At school, if we got out of line, we got sent to the dean of boys, and he gave us licks with a 1-inch think wooden paddle! Then when we got home our Dad gave us worse than that! No, we didn't get out of line much. The kids these days, they think if the old man has money, then they have money. I tell my kids that the guy they call Grandpa is not the same guy I called Dad! OK, so it's the same guy, but Grandpa is a whole lot nicer than Dad!
Anyway, I could go on for hours about this entitled generation, but my ugly head hurts so I'm going to bed now. It's nearly 9 p.m., and my alarm goes off at 3 a.m. I'm tired.
I love y'all and I miss y'all every day! Love, Rickey

Ratios & Percentages
At a Glance - Converting Fractions to Decimals
Eight twenty-fifths is equivalent to thirty-two hundredths (i.e., multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 (that is, 4/4 or 1). You will get 32/100.). Thirty-two hundredths can be written as 0.32, a decimal.
Unfortunately, not all fractions are that easy. Most can't be rewritten with a denominator of 10, or 100, or 1000. We need a more foolproof way of converting every fraction. Lucky for us, there is one: all you have to do is divide the denominator into the numerator!
Be Careful: always divide the denominator into the numerator and not the other way around. In other words, the numerator always goes inside the division box.

If the fraction you need to convert is a mixed number, you can place the whole number in front of the decimal, or first convert it to an improper fraction.
