23RAINYDAYS has toured as a five-piece rock band which is a more balanced rock performance; the fans of dance music and Goth/Industrial/EBM really get into the three-piece line-up. Between different line-up changes, logistics and musical direction, this group has tailored their live shows more toward the rock or electronic interpretations of their music. Versatility is a good thing and it gives the audiences different takes on their sound at various events.
Currently signed with Radio-Active-Music, an Indie label that specializes in Goth, Industrial, Glam and Synth rock - they have been very supportive and allow this group a lot of creative freedom. Showcasing performances over the years in NYC and Hollywood, 23RAINYDAYS admits the state of the music industry has changed. Jonathan explains, "Being signed isn't what it use to be, even to a major label. Really, it's about negotiating the best working agreement so you can perform and get your music out there in a way that works for both sides. Bands really have to operate as their own label and management in a lot of ways, even if they are signed. Bands, labels, promoters and venues all have big roles to play to make any show or tour a reasonable success."
Any original artist with aspirations to be recognized as a professional is guaranteed to repeatedly run into walls. "When you finally meet with some measure of success, it's a huge lift every time, but it's a constant process of building up to those small successes. You really have to love what you're doing, have a compulsion about expressing your own music, and be somewhat of a masochist to put up with it all," laughing says Jonathan.
In 2009, MTV selected 23RAINYDAYS as a Top 3 Breakout Artist as part of their Video Music Awards. The group also recently released their 8th recording, the EP - Instruments of Fashion and the Murder of Romance under the Radio-Active-Music label. Jonathan says, " People don't normally associate a music scene (an alternative one at that) with Washington, D.C., so we've been fortunate to continue making our music and gaining some mainstream recognition from the likes of MTV. That's part of the process of continuing to build up to small successes. From there, we're looking to expand internationally and keep working for new opportunities."
The band has multiple videos, including the live performance at the MTV Video Awards last summer which was a huge production in and of itself. The band states it was "remarkable!" However, the most fun they had was filming the music video for "The Haunt." It was made by a promising underground hip-hop biographer name Court Dunn, who Jonathan met while checking our another friend's band in NYC. "He did a great job of grasping the feel of the song and the concept of the video on top of working with the resource constraints. The video was filmed in a garage and the woods nearby, but it's amazing what a talented individual with artistic vision can do with the tools available today.
Take a break from the snow and check out 23RAINYDAYS performing on Saturday, February 20th at 12 Midnight at this first time participating MMC venue Liquid 891 located at 891 Eisenhower Boulevard Swatara, PA (717) 939-3590.

PORT MATILDA - Tammy Miller isn't offended when someone calls her a clown.
In 2000, Miller, 53, of Port Matilda started her business, known today as Tammy Speaks LLC, as a clown known as "Hugz."
"I was a professional clown. I started teaching clown courses and did educational courses on clowning and professional clowning at corporate events," Miller said. "I was a clown with an educational flair."

Tammy Miller serves as auctioneer for a benefit auction for Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition in 2010 at Metro Bank Park in Harrisburg, the home of the Harrisburg Senators.
A native of Toledo, Ohio - she went to the same high school as Danny Thomas and Jamie Farr - Miller moved to Lewistown in 1977 and then to State College in 1994.
In the early days of her career, she worked in banking, insurance and as a cake decorator before going into business for herself.
Her life changed suddenly in 2001 when she was diagnosed with "estrogen receptor positive," a form of breast cancer.
Fact Box
The Miller file
Name: Tammy Miller
Age: 53
Education: 1977 graduate of Woodward High School, Toledo, Ohio. Received bachelor's degree in 1993 and master's degree in 1995 from Penn State in speech communications.
Position: Owner of Tammy Speaks LLC, Port Matilda.
Family: Daughters: Tiffany Earnest of Nashville, Tenn., and Lacey Earnest of Altoona.
Quote: "I am the voice of the home run derbies. During the month of July, we travel across the state and hold fundraisers for breast cancer research. I am the emcee. I am the entertainment. I wear pink high-heel shoes and pink boas. It is such a blast, I love it."
"When I was diagnosed the world was crashing down, it was Sept. 14, 2001, just after 9/11. I said you have the wrong mammogram. I was 42 years old; there was no history in my family of breast cancer," Miller said. "I had two daughters in high school. I was more concerned about my daughters. I said if the Lord brought me to it, he would see me through it."
Miller underwent a different kind of treatment and had surgery at Centre Community Hospital, now Mount Nittany Medical Center.
"The Lord led me to a different treatment. I had an oopherectomy where they remove the ovaries. I ended up with a total hysterectomy. I have been cancer-free since the surgery," she said.
Miller, who is also an accomplished speaker - she recently earned Toastmasters International's most prestigious title: the accredited speaker designation - became an advocate for the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition.
"When I became diagnosed, the platform became breast cancer. Something suddenly became a part of my life that I didn't anticipate. I was a goal setter, getting cancer wasn't one of my goals," Miller said. "I always did charity work, but the charity changed."
Miller serves as a speaker and emcee at breast cancer functions, including the coalition's State-wide Home Run Derby fundraising activities and Penn State Lady Lions Pink Zone events.
"Tammy is tremendous. Any time we call her she is there, she never says no, She is such a motivator. She is an inspiration to anyone who is batting or who has battled the disease," Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition spokeswoman Natalie Kopp said.
In October, Miller received the Shining Light Award from the coalition for selfless service, longtime advocacy and continued dedication to the coalition and breast cancer causes.
"Tammy truly is a shining light for the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition," president and founder Pat Halpin-Murphy said. "She has helped to spread the word about our programs across the state of Pennsylvania through her work as a volunteer, speaker, author and survivor. From speaking at a prison to wearing pink high heels on the baseball field to bedazzling bras for breast cancer, Tammy has done it all with our mission in mind of finding a cure for breast cancer now so our daughters won't have to.
Miller tries to encourage women diagnosed with breast cancer.
"It is important to try and make a difference and help people understand they are not going through this alone. When you are diagnosed, it feels like your world is spiraling out of control," Miller said.
Miller also is an author and a speech coach.
She donates proceeds of her book, "Pink Ribbon Stories: A Celebration of Life," to the breast cancer coalition. She has also written "The Lighter Side of Breast Cancer Recovery" about her personal journey using humor to deal with her cancer diagnosis and "My Life is Just Speech Material And, So is Yours," a guide to discovering what to say and how to say it.
Miller said she is a spiritual person.
"I believe the key to my success is trying hard to listen to the Lord. I pray I don't say anything stupid and do what I am supposed to do," Miller said.
Miller, the only female auctioneer in Centre County, sets a personal goal every year to get a certain kind of certification. She plans to get her real estate license in 2013.
"I set goals and look at things differently. It is not because I am bored. I believe there is so much to learn, see and do in this world. I need as many experiences as possible," said Miller, who also has tried skydiving.
"I knew I would get to the ground one way or the other," said Miller, who calls life a great adventure.
"In 2000, I didn't know what breast cancer was all about. In early 2010, I didn't know what auctioneering was all about. Everything we want to do in life is step by step. All experiences we have in life help to make us what we are. Making a difference in the lives of others is important; I try to think that way as much as possible," Miller said.
"My message for everyone is we can't always change what happens to us but we do have control over how we respond. It can be a relationship, a bad disease, a loss of a job; we can't always change what happens. We need to understand we have control over it."
Mirror Staff Writer Walt Frank is at 946-7467.

Knock. On. Wood.
When Pat Angerer, LaRon Landry, and Jerrell Freeman took the field against the Browns, it was the first time (what we expect to be) Indy's starting defense had assembled this preseason. Cleveland – who, as I mentioned before, looked awesome through two preseason games – stumbled their way to a pair of field goals, while Indy took a 17-0 lead after half. Upon the completion of the game, Indy was looking at two positives:
– they played Cleveland and New York better than virtually every team last season. Then again, beating the Browns has become similar to beating your younger brother at Madden (cheering is best reserved to the evil thoughts in your brain, while an empathetic, 'you're getting better!' suffices otherwhere).
– despite sending five guys to the IR, Indy was – and is – still miraculously healthy.
Luck played most of Saturday's game without two of his starting linemen, and with Justice Cunningham and Dominique Jones as the only tight ends on a roster that was expected to use more double-tight end formations. But it looks as if all the missing players could be back for the opener.
Allen returned to practice last week. McGlynn was walking around the locker room just fine Monday, a good sign for a player trying to fend off a challenge for his starting job. Bradshaw is expected to be full go when the season starts, and Fleener and Holmes are practicing again. Even Castonzo sounds optimistic.
Though I hesitate to admit it, the Colts might be entering the regular season looking at a full, healthy roster. Unlike most teams, where players are struggling to get back into shape/health/football, Indy's injury brigade comprising a shrinking list of timetable-ready guys. Allen and Fleener look healthier. Bradshaw is exactly where he's supposed to be. And hey, for a team that routinely missed timetables last year, this is good news.
Better news: Indy's season could be – dare I say – easier than last year?
Right now, were Indy to win every game as expected, they would be 10-6. That would include two losses to Houston – unlikely – and losses (at home) to Seattle and Denver. Heck, if they finished the first 8 games 4-4, the Colts would still be on pace for a 10 win season, because like last year, the second half of their season is mediocre at best.
Remember: last year, the Colts played the Bears, Vikings, Packers, Patriots, and Houston twice. Those teams would all go on to win 10 or more games. In other words, while most people are sitting around thinking "a better team, but a worse record", I'm thinking "Seattle went 3-5 on the road last year? YEAH they did."
And – get this – Houston plays Denver, New England, San Francisco, Seattle, and Baltimore this year. Also, Indy twice. How fun will those games be?

on April 27, 2013 - 11:08 PM
Now in its seventh year, the Niagara Falls High School Post Prom will be held right after this year's prom, which will be June 7.
The post-prom party has drawn 500 students or more each year and is becoming even more popular than the prom itself, said Niagara Falls High School teachers Christine R. Farino and James T. Hartung, who started the event and organize it each year. They raise $10,000 or more each year for the blowout through donations from local businesses, parents and the community.
Farino, who teaches 12th-grade English, said she and Hartung, a 12th-grade economics and government teacher, hatched the plan shortly after a "beautiful and brilliant" young girl, one of their former students who had recently graduated, died as the result of a drunken-driving crash. She was a passenger, and her girlfriend who was driving was also critically injured.
"We went to her wake, and I said, 'That's it. I never want to go through that again. I can't take it,' " she said. "My heart still breaks."
"We thought, what could we pull off that would bring me back to school? They are all dressed up and don't want the night to end, but where can they go?" Hartung said. "We knew what was happening, but they were not good choices."
Young people genuinely want to have good, clean fun, Farino believes, but they were being pressured into bad behavior.
"Everybody accepted the fact that after the prom other things were going on that we weren't happy with. It was a must. You had to do it," Farino said. "Now, if you are anybody, you go to the Post Prom."
She said the prom can also be unobtainable for some students who don't have the money for the expensive night and fancy dresses.
"It's so expensive. I've seen girls in tears because they can't afford to buy a dress," Farino said.
Admission to the Post Prom is free, and casual dress is encouraged. All seniors and their guests are invited, whether they go to the prom or not, said Hartung.
Doors open to the post-prom party at 11:30 p.m., with no entry allowed after 12:30 p.m. The event concludes at 3:45 a.m., Hartung said. He said anyone who leaves is not allowed to re-enter and forfeits the chance to win prizes.
The teachers said that in the beginning it was a tough sell to get kids to attend, but as word of the fun spread, the event's popularity grew.
Their challenge was throwing a party that the kids wouldn't think was too "hokey," as Hartung put it.
So they came up with a plan: "We wanted it to be like a mini Erie County Fair," Hartung said.
The Post Prom fills the gym, auditorium and first floor of the high school with games such as riding the mechanical bull, a dunk tank, pie throwing at some of the school's academic disciplinarians, a bounce house, a Velcro wall, a Jell-O eating competition, a medieval joust, basketball, pingpong, golf, and monster laser tag in the dark. The teacher's lounge is turned into a casino, where students win tickets rather than cash, courtesy of casino night games from local churches.
Throughout the night, there are strolling characters, a photo booth, wandering magicians, caricature artists, face painting and airbrushed tattoos, as well as music, smoothies and other food and drinks.
Hartung said they rent the huge inflatables a year in advance – and keep their fingers crossed that all the funding comes through.
"It's all dependent on the donations," Hartung said. Parent and teacher volunteers, and even some former students, help on the night of the event, they said.
In addition to donations of cash and checks, Hartung said, they also ask for donations of gift cards, valued at about $25, for gas, restaurants, movie passes, Darien Lake tickets, or anything else students would like, as well as gift baskets that students can win at the various games. About half the funding is raised through advertising in the Commemorative Graduation Book, a memory book in which the community, businesses and parents are asked to buy ads. All the money raised goes to the Post Prom party.
Hartung said they give out nearly $5,000 worth of prizes. Only Niagara Falls High School students are eligible to win.
"Everything donated is spent. This is a party for these students," Hartung said.
"I am happiest the next day when I don't read anyone's name in the paper – that there was a casualty," Farino said. "[My students] are like my family. Even after I retire, I will know I made a difference in the lives of these students and future students."
Hartung agreed. "I'm not looking for anything. This is the proverbial labor of love. You do it because it's in your blood. It was born out a belief and hope that there was a viable safe alternative."
Anyone who would like to donate should make out checks to the NFHS Student Council. Those with donations of cash, gift cards or baskets can contact Farino or Hartung by calling 278-5800. Donations can also be dropped off at or mailed to the school at 4455 Porter Road, Niagara Falls.

text: News South Australian Film Corporation invests in Emile Sherman's Tracks May 11, 2012 8:08 by Colin Delaney 2 The producers of two of Australia's top two films of last year have received funding for a new joint production. Emile Sherman and Iain Canning, producers of The King's Speech, and Julie Ryan, producer of Red Dog, have received funding from the South Australian Film Corporation for new film Tracks. Directed by John Curran, the film is the true story of Robyn Davidson's journey through the Australian desert. The SAFC's investment, which also includes three other projects, totalled $0.61m. It comes after the March news of two major South Australian productions, Wolf Creek and Resistance, forced on hiatus due to financial difficulties. At the time, Richard Harris, Adelaide Studios CEO told Encore the studios were in negotiations with the Tracks producers, as the film 'ticked a lot of boxes' for the state. With the two big projects going on hiatus, finance was allocated to two feature films, The Babadook and The Fall, both thrillers. The new investment round saw The Babadook receive $0.78m in cash-flow loan as part of the state agency's Revolving Film Fund. The film, written and directed by Jennifer Kent and produced by Kristena Ceyton and Kristian Molier casts Essie Davis as a single mother who is plagued by the violent death of her husband, and battles with her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house, but soon discovers there's something very sinister all around her. Locally the film has distribution through Umbrella Entertainment and international sales through eOne Entertainment. The other projects SAFC has invested in include a three-part factual series, a TV documentary and a transmedia project. Comedian and sidekick to Adam Hills on his talk show, Hannah Gadsby will get a three part TV series called Hannah Gadsby's Oz for the ABC's Artscape series. The comedian and art scholar will will attempt to discover Australia's cultural identity. The series will be directed by Shut Up Little Man's Mathew Bate and produced by Rebecca Summerton of Closer Productions. Disassembly Line is a half hour documentary written and directed by Madeleine Parry and follows her as she works at the local abattoir and interviews the men who kill what we eat. Produced by Daniel Joyce of Projector Films, it was co-commissioned by ABCTV and Screen Australia. Also receiving investment is a transmedia project as part of a coproduction between the ABC and its contemporary in Canada, the CBC. Called Time Tremors, it is a children's fantasy produced by the local People's Republic of Animation and Canada's Xenophile Media.

UNAHCO Welcomes WILSON ONG (OCTAGON GAMEFARM) as GMP Endorser
UNAHCO Welcomes WILSON ONG (OCTAGON GAMEFARM) as GMP Endorser
Wilson Ong was using a different brand for several years when he discreetly tried other options including the GMP.
"I decided to shift to GMP. Hindi lang mahusay, malaki pa ang natipid ko sa feeds cost" says Ong.
For the BREEDING STAGE as nutirition for broodcocks and broodhens, GMP4 has satisfied Ong with the good quantity and quality of eggs that were produced. "Malusog ang mga broostocks ko, saka ayos ang mga itlog"
Wilson mentioned that his previous trial of GMP1 in the BROODING STAGE during the last season was remarkable and that the chicks proved to be very healthy, while stressing that he has computed he will save around 25% on feeds expense by shifting to GMP1 for his chicks.
In the RANGING AREA Octagon Game Farm tested GMP2 and the results were much better. "Gusto ng mga cockerels and GMP2"
"Pinakamalaki ang gastos ko sa CORDING AREA kasi sa dami ng mga stags at mga pinapagulang na mga cocks kaya I decided na okay ang GMP3. Malaking tipid na may quality" – Wilson Ong.

The Great Escape by Patrick Watson.
I was listening to the stunning To Build a Home by Cinematic Orchestra and thought I should find out more about Mr Watson (who guests on the track) and it led me to this clip.
Simply beautiful.

Simply beautiful.
I love this a lot.
Mini are putting on a bunch of lunchbreak experiences. Where you can learn something new in a lunchtime.
The list of things that are up there at the moment are:
And my personal favourite – Learn to Moonwalk! Which I think is on tomorrow, but details are being kept quiet. I read in a magazine that the session is being run by MJ's choreographer. I'm going to do my damndest to get a place, I've always wanted to master the art of the moonwalk. Hell I'll even buy a Mini if they can guarantee me ultimate skills.
Anyone know who did this? It's great! I'd like to shake them by the hand.
Jib Jab – US peddlers of funny animations and stuff (my description not theirs) have just raised another $3m in funding from VCs – in total they're reported to have raised $6m.
Read/Write Web have more on the story. I found myself nodding at this bit:
While this was supposed to be the beginning of the era of user generated video – the reality shaking out is more complicated than that. Specifically, advertisers are just not comfortable with the brand risk inherent in user generated content. That is changing slowly and it may continue to over time – but there's likely to be a huge market for shops like JibJab long into the future. Likewise, video tools are now commodities and it's all about the content you've got in your video service. Professional content is good, professional humor is great, say investors.
One thing worth noting about Jib Jab though is that they're not a video production shop. If you look deeper into what they do there's quite a lot of interactive innovation in there too. Don't forget about making things interactive. Just porting a load of short form video-making skills online is only going to take you so far (in my humble opinion). Oh, and they've been very savvy in terms of getting commercial sponsorships and stuff as well.
Back in the day urban culture used to look so much more friendly…
These days it's so much more serious and less fun:
The first lot are still hanging round in a little gang. But they look like nice boys, maybe even a little camp. They've got no hoods and their music is much more jolly.
Aaah the good old days ;-)
By the same guy who did the great thing about Web2.0 in a similar style. Very nice.
It's a really good quick summary of a lot of the things talked about in David Weinberger's Everything is Miscellaneous.
I did my talk about '10 Reasons that Digital is Better than Advertising' again the other day. I enjoyed it, and I did feel that bits of it are true. But at the same time it also felt a bit futile,
It was never designed to be an important presentation, more a bit of fun with a couple of personal observations and musings in there.
Thankfully Idris Mootee has made the important points in the debate much more clearly and concisely over at Innovation Playground. If you're interested in the whole debate about who's going to rule agencyland in the future it's well worth a read, there's some really interesting scenarios and thoughts in there.
I'm late to these judging by the dates that the videos were posted, but I'm not sure how widely they've been seen.
Just another one of those 'funny' 'little' online things that feels really odd and not particularly outstanding (to me), but then a clip goes and gets nearly 10m views and then spawns an international cult.
The daddy of the clips:
The Taco Bell version:
And of course a 'healthy option':
There's lots and lots of them, and remixes and mashups and all that jazz and they're breeding… http://www.fastfoodfreestyle.net/ is the hub of the 'movement'.
I'm so glad I don't work in a drive thru burger place…
I've got a theory. Actually calling it a theory is over playing it. It's more like a suspicion, or maybe an inkling. Whichever of the two fits best.
I've been into a few different branches of Starbucks recently and noticed that they've all got these 'community' boards. I suspect they're a global thing. They're basically free spaces for local people to stick up notices (the photo above is from the Hove branch).
I'm hypothesising that you can tell how active a local community is by the density of notices on the board. However, I'm basing this on a very limited sample of 5 Starbucks branches.
Anyone have any observations to support or destroy my suspicions?
We've been getting organic boxes from Abel and Cole. Apparently it's the done thing when you're greenish and in your mid-30s.
But in the couple of months we've been using them we've not ever really managed to finish a box. So we end up chucking stuff out, which isn't good for anyone. No one's fault, we've just been busy, or not fancied what was in the box on the right day.
So I wrote them a nice mail. Explaining that it was nothing personal and if our circumstances change we'd certainly consider going back to them. I also explained that we've got a good local organic shop which means that we can get hold of nice things quite easily.
This is the email I got back.
Thank you for your email. I am sorry to hear you have decided to stop your orders from ourselves, but I do agree that a local organic grocer is even a bit better than ordering from us. Thank you for taking the time to let us know why you are cancelling. If you would like to start ordering from us again in the future we'll be happy to try and adjust the amounts of produce you receive to suit your needs a bit better. I confirm the cancellation of your account and, we will be more than happy to welcome you back if your situation changes.
I read it and went, aah, that's nice.
Then I read it again.
And noticed they'd said what! That it's probably better not to use them in this situation! How bloody good is that!
I thought to myself, what a wonderful bit of copywriting. Then I realised of course this isn't 'copywriting' at all, it was a real person writing to me, and it's genuine, and it's not self serving (at least not directly).
Nice one.
If you've not seen the Zappos story about the lady whose mother died and how they went above and beyond the call of duty you should check it out. It's another great example of a company being human and it's gone round the web leaving positive feelings towards Zappos wherever it goes. (Zappos are a US footwear ecommerce store by the way).
I was walking back from a meeting when I saw these 3 things in quick succession. I was freaked out. First up…
Howards Way – I thought. Funny an 80s TV show street, ha ha. (Turns out the TV show is Howards' Way, which makes a big difference, but at the time I didn't know).
Then 20m later I saw:
Max Headroom another show from back in the day. I chuckled to myself.
Then I looked round and:
The blinking West Wing.
All of a sudden I felt like I'd been transported into some odd parallel universe where my life is a bizarre Truman Show vs. TV Times mashup. Honestly all 3 within a minute of each other.

Financial Inclusion Through Aid Disbursement
Each year billions of dollars in cash payments are distributed by development organizations to individuals in need. Across sectors including agriculture, health, and emergency relief, cash payments are dispersed with the intent of imparting a lasting impact on their recipients. As we've discussed in this space previously, dealing with cash instead of electronic payments brings risks and inefficiencies to the parties involved, both development organizations and their payments recipients, too, who are likely to have a lot at stake.

How Health Impact Metrics Contribute to Global Health Program Decisions
Patricia H David, Director of Research and Metrics at Pathfinder International, explains, "The supplement was stimulated by the growing interest in finding a set of common metrics that can be used at both the programmatic and global level for making decisions and setting priorities for action. As more organizations look to adopt such metrics, there is an increasing need for a published evidence base that can be used to inform and align measurement."

A foreign consultant has been employed by Sri Lanka Cricket with an agreement to pay him a monthly remuneration of US$100,000 (Rs. 13 million).
SLC that is already in debt to the tune of US$70 million (Rs.9100 million) enrolled Haroon Lorgat who stepped down as the ICC CEO in June 2012. Lorgat, a Chartered Accountant, is of Indian descent, his family originating from a small village in north western India called Manekpore.
Despite SLC stating they were looking for means to get over the financial crisis, according to analysts Logart has joined SLC to mark time until he reports for his duties at Cricket South Africa in January, 2013 and nothing much could be expected from him.
SLC did not receive much income despite spending much on political decisions to construct new cricket grounds at Pallekalle and Sooriyawewa and modernized R. Premadsa Stadium.
SLC, that spent colossal amounts to maintain officials, was also confronted with a crisis of not being able to pay the salaries of players.

I have a table, and an ordinary view from the table that is just selecting everything from it, "select *".
I need to create materialized view to improve the view performance.
What would be the right approach - to create another view just like the existing one, only materialized, that would select from the base table? or create materialized view that selects * from the existing view?
In other words - what's better, to have materialized view selecting from table or from ordinary view?
I actually created both, the query plan didn't show much difference in performance. Still, there might be something. Need an advice.
Thank you.

Frigid gusts often whipped through the warped, weatherbeaten windows in Eudell Owens' living room, a comfy space she largely abandoned in the winter months.
This winter, new windows and insulation, funded by government weatherization grants, will help Owens reclaim her once-chilly living space, keep blustery breezes at bay and whittle down her energy bills.
In the next two years, Panhandle Community Services plans to weatherize 1,200 Panhandle homes with a $10 million windfall of stimulus funds, more federal program money and donations from regional energy providers.
Owens' Amarillo abode is just one of more than 100 area homes that Panhandle Community Services, an Amarillo nonprofit, is weatherizing this year with federal money.
"We went from less than $500,000 in the '08-09 year to this year, $10 million roughly. That's just weatherization," said Ken Rusler, the nonprofit group's weatherization director.
Of that $10 million funding pool, the city has asked that $1.5 million in federal stimulus money be allocated to Panhandle Community Services for weatherization. Panhandle Community Services anticipates that it will receive about $6 million in stimulus funds, and other weatherization money will come from increases in other federal programs.
Panhandle Community Services' typical clients are low-income elderly homeowners who haven't been able to keep up with repairs, Rusler said, but the agency will serve any client who qualifies for the program.
Program eligibility is based on income. Applicants' incomes must fall below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines. For a family of four, that's less than $44,100 in yearly income. Panhandle Community Services normally asks clients to contact one of 13 regional service centers to apply for weatherization funds.
"Call the center, ask for an application for weatherization, That's it. It's so easy," said PCS Executive Director Phyllis Cook." It's totally confidential, and there is no cost to the client."
Once an application is received, PCS reviews the applicant's finances before approving the client for the program. The agency's inspectors then will closely examine the applicant's home to determine what needs to be fixed.
Completely weatherizing a home takes about 30 steps, Cook said, from window installation to caulking and insulation. Once their home is fully weatherized, clients will save money through lower energy bills. Renters also can apply for rental housing weatherization if their landlord approves.
Cook said a general contractor or contractors will be hired to complete the renovations. She estimated that more than 100 jobs will be created over the next two years as stimulus funds trickle down to laborers, purchasing clerks, window fabricators and remodelers.
"We're going to be putting a lot of people to work," she said. "We want the people to know it's their money and we're going to use it right. Hold us accountable. We want that."
Owens, a 72-year-old widowed retiree who has lived in her home for about 30 years, said she applied a few months ago for assistance to repair her drafty house.
As summertime temperatures climbed into the high 90s last week, a crew of workers was busy at her home, replacing her old windows, sealing up energy-robbing cracks and insulating it for the seasons ahead.
"I only asked for windows, but they put in a wall heater that I didn't ask for," she said. "They're just doing a lot for me, and I just thank God for them."
Rusler said most Panhandle folks aren't aware of the poor housing conditions throughout the region.
"There are people in Amarillo who need to go look at some of these houses because there's people that have no idea of how people are living in the Panhandle and Amarillo in 2009. They just don't. We see it every day," he said.

Powerball estimated jackpot surges to $400M
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Without a Powerball winner this weekend, the prize has climbed to $400 million -- one of the largest in U.S. lottery history.
Lottery officials said no one matched all six numbers for Saturday's $330.8 million drawing.
The next drawing is Wednesday and the jackpot will be at least $400 million or $227.8 million in a lump sum.
Large jackpots tend to boost ticket sales and make it more likely the prize will be shared, and changes to the Powerball and Mega Millions games have the jackpots reaching fantasy-inducing levels more often.
In the case of Powerball, officials increased the ticket prices from $1 to $2 in January 2012, and raised starting jackpots to $40 million. The current jackpot began its ascent at the end of 2013.

Human Toilet Paper is Your Purpose for Living
Let's face it, what Woman wouldn't prefer a warm, soft tongue as toilet paper instead of coarse, dry, irritating normal toilet paper? Princess Dakota certainly doesn't like ordinary toilet paper. But her slave was somewhat resistive to the task of licking her nasty, freshly soiled asshole clean with his tongue. So Princess Dakota put him into chastity. It's amazing what three months of denial will do to a slave's limits. All of a sudden his limits are almost non-existent. He is begging to be her toilet paper if it will get him release.

The least-visited of the Valle Central's major volcanoes, Volcán Turrialba (3328m) erupted for the first time in 145 years on January 5, 2010, blowing a large vent in the crater's upper wall and forcing the evacuation of sixty people from local villages; dramatic cloud plumes (up to 2km high) continued to spout skyward for the first few months of the year.
The park is open again, but with restricted access, according to volcanic activity. Check the latest before venturing up here – and note that the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI) haven't ruled out the January eruption being the precursor to further, larger-scale seismic activity.

Penn State seeks 3rd straight NCAA wrestling title
STATE COLLEGE -- Penn State begins its pursuit this week of a third straight wrestling national title, but that daunting quest might be overshadowed by the hype over a marquee matchup that could cap the NCAA championships.
If Nittany Lions junior David Taylor defends his individual title at 165 pounds, he would likely have to beat Cornell three-time champion Kyle Dake in the final.
Dake won his third title at 157 pounds last year, after winning the two years before at 149 and 141. He's the only wrestler in NCAA history to win three championships at three different weights. He's trying to become just the third four-time champion in a sport that's been crowning champions since 1928.
The action starts today in Des Moines, Iowa.
The potential Taylor-Dake showdown is so anticipated that the NCAA -- in an unprecedented move -- announced that it would start the championship finals at 174 pounds and end at 165 pounds.
That means Taylor and Dake would hit the mat last -- if they last that far.
But odds are good that they will. Taylor (26-1) was last year's Hodge Trophy winner, wrestling's version of the Heisman Trophy. Dake is 32-0 this season with 18 falls.
"When you see an MMA (card) or boxing, they save the biggest bouts for last," Penn State coach Cael Sanderson said. "I think that's what they're trying to do. I can understand that."
Taylor lost to Dake 3-2 in overtime in the championship finals of the Southern Scuffle Tournament on Jan. 2, and by a point in a November exhibition. He seemed to embrace the significance of the showdown.
"I think it's great for the sport," Taylor said. "You want to wrestle the best guys. You want to wrestle the best guys in the national tournament. You want to win matches that you're going to be remembered for."

LAC Countries Approve Action Plan on Principle 10
18 April 2013: The 14 signatory countries to the Declaration on the Application of Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, on access to information, justice and public participation, approved a 2014 action plan to conclude a regional agreement on applying Principle 10 in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
The action plan was agreed at the second meeting of focal points from signatory countries, organized by the UN Economic Commission for LAC (ECLAC) and hosted by the Government of Mexico, in Guadalajara, Mexico, from 16-17 April 2013.
Under the action plan, negotiations for a regional agreement will proceed through at least two working groups. A working group on capacity building and cooperation will focus on intensifying regional and international cooperation regarding training and financing needs and operations, both for the public sector and the public in general. A working group on access rights, consultation and the regional instrument will examine a report prepared by ECLAC on the status of Principle 10 access rights in the signatory countries, as well as national and international practices, and prepare proposals on the subject for the regional instrument.
Non-signatory LAC countries can participate in working groups as observers. Members of the public can also attend unless the signatory countries, in exceptional circumstances, decide to hold closed sessions during meetings. In addition, a regional public mechanism will be created to keep interested parties informed, facilitate their involvement, and coordinate public participation in meetings.
The Declaration on the Application of Principle 10 was signed at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20) by the Governments of Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Since Rio+20, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras and Trinidad and Tobago also have signed the Declaration.

>Ramblin' Jack Elliott
A disciple of Woody Guthrie, Grammy-winning folksinger Ramblin' Jack Elliott mentored Bob Dylan and influenced Jerry Garcia and the Rolling Stones, among others. But after 13 albums and innumerable tour dates, Elliott (born Elliott Charles Adnopoz) has a new medium—film: The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack, a poignant yet laugh-provoking documentary directed by his daughter Aiyana, 31, made a splash at this year's Sundance Film Festival. "Being a musician can be a bummer," says Elliott, 69, who lives near San Francisco with fifth wife Jan, 45, a singer-songwriter. "But being a movie star is even harder."
What do you think of your daughter's film about you?
She comes very close to the truth, which is so rare. It's revealing, and I'm dealing. I was a dad who wasn't around. She's got an ax to grind. I look stupid at times, because I couldn't come up with any sensible answers to her questions.
How did a nice Jewish boy and son of a doctor from Brooklyn hit the folk scene?
I never was "nice." I just wanted to be a cowboy, and I ran away from home at 15 to join the rodeo and play guitar.
Describe your relationship with Bob Dylan.
I met Bob in 1961 when visiting Woody Guthrie in the hospital. Bob was sitting at Woody's feet trying to get advice. Bob became a student of mine. Then he shot up like a rocket. Now, he never calls me, and I never call him.
How would you like to be remembered?
As a good hand with a horse and a good guitar picker. I'm a ramblin' man, and I'm tired of traveling.

In Marilyn Monroe, Warhol found a fusion of two of his consistent themes: death and the cult of celebrity. The star died tragically in August 1962. In the following two years, Warhol made thirty silkscreen paintings of her, always using the same publicity photograph from the 1953 film Niagara. This set of ten screenprints was produced in 1967, in an edition of 250. The repeated image serves as the basis for a series of startling colour transformations.

One of the best things I saw during my trip to Spain and Holland was the Centrale Discotheek Rotterdam and their website, Muziekweb.nl. The library has about 400,000 CDs, 300,000 of which are unique. They also have an equal amount of vinyl in storage and 100,000 music DVDs. The place looks like a gigantic record shop but it also has a number of nice, big iMacs on which people can search the collection and listen to samples of many, many of the discs.
Listen to song samples and download CDs? Yes. They've made an amazing music listening and downloading website. What makes this project great is that the library has partnered with copyright holders in the Netherlands and have been granted the rights to digitize a big portion of their 300,000 CDs (and liner notes). There's a team of people ripping and scanning 8 hours a day!
Right now that have about 8000 albums for download. Downloads and listening occur through library created software, and loans last for a week, then expire. Is it wrong for me to skip the usual rant about the DRM on the mp3s because it is DRM created by a library? Probably, but let's be honest here, surely there's no other way the copyright holders would let this project exist. Even though DRM=bad, this still seems like a step in the right direction. I *don't* know if songs can be transfered to a portable player.
I can't read Dutch but I was still able to navigate around the site and checked out some of the great features. I don't know how they do their subject headings, but the related artists section in each item record seems genuinely useful and accurate. Same with the "Muziekadvies" tool through which you can get recommendations by entering in three bands you like. Try it out, I was impressed with the results. Each item record also has a spot where users can rate it, and whether or not it is available for digital checkout.
Other interesting tidbits about the library: It costs about $20 to join for a year and checking out a CD or DVD costs about $2. Oh, and they still print a hardcopy catalog!
Muziekweb.nl provides relevant content in one of the most usable library produced interfaces I've seen. The same can't be said of vendor driven solutions like Overdrive. With so many other (and better in many ways) options, convenient delivery of relevant content is an important task that libraries really need to concentrate on but I don't see it happening. Can anyone help me envision something like Muziekweb in the US? I'm afraid it takes some imagination beyond my reach!

Just making these now...I played with seasoning, added alot of pepper, paprika, old bay, some savoury, few cloves of garlic. Something was missing, and I looked at a bottle of that Gravy Master meat gravy mix my mom had in the cupboard...in the ingredient list was ACV. So I put a tbs of ACV in the FP with everything...really made it somehow. Added a meaty flavour.
Rating4.6/5 (from 5 ratings)4.6
YieldMakes 4 patties
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 6 inch rib celery, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
3 to 4 slices of portabella mushroom
sage, to taste
poultry seasoning, to taste
sea salt, to taste
¼ cup pecans
2 tablespoon sunflower seeds
Recipe Directions
- Put the carrots in the food processor and process until "mushâ€.
- Add the sliced celery, mushrooms and onion and pulse until finely chopped.
- Add the seasonings and mix lightly. Taste. It should be close to bland (dehydrating will intensify flavors).
- Put in the pecans and sunflower seeds and pulse. I like to leave them in pieces to give texture.
- Taste again and adjust seasonings if needed.
- Form into four patties and put them in the dehydrator.
- After two hours, turn carefully. Continue dehydrating for another two hours or until the desired texture has been reached.

This would a good recipe to use with your carrot juice pulp as well, I'd think.
Yeah, I always taste food as I make it. This recipe tasted much better before I dehydrated it - the first time I've noticed such a change of taste in a recipe, though.
I began to taste as I make. Since "RAW food" ingredients are not a health hazard compared to some "uncooked raw" ingredients. This way I control the outcome of the tase sooner rather than later:-)
I finally got a chance to make this recipe. I used 1 teaspoon of each of the spices and dehydrated at 115°F. It was quite good burger (moist instead of dry), but I didn't love the taste on its own. Next time, I might put less of each of the spices. Overall, thought, a great recipe to have on hand.

OSHTEMO TOWNSHIP — Oshtemo Township trustees unanimously approved new plans for park improvements Tuesday and agreed to begin work first on the more widely used Township Park.
The plans, derived from three public input workshops, include several improvements for Township Park, 7275 W. Main St., and Flesher Field, 3664 S. Ninth St., to take place over the next five years.
Money from grants and fundraising are expected to pay for the work.
At Tuesday's meeting, Larry LaBond, president of Kalamazoo/Battle Creek Basket K'Aces disc golf club, spoke to the board about desired improvements to the disc golf course at Township Park, which hosted the 2008 Professional Disc Golf Association's World Championships.
LaBond, of Mattawan, designed the course and requested six additional holes for the 18-hole course, improved signage, benches and erosion control at the park.
"Right now, the park plan is lacking that," LaBond said.
He offered to gather volunteers to do the work and find sponsors to pay for the improvements.
Under the plan approved Tuesday, the changes to the disc-golf course include the relocation of a practice hole and a possible relocation of two tee pads by about 10 feet to make way for an improved trail.
In addition, the course will be re-seeded and brush and debris will be cleared. In total, the changes to the course are expected to cost about $6,200.
The board and architects from O'Boyle, Cowell, Blalock and Associates, who prepared the designs, said all of LaBond's requests are feasible except for the addition of six holes.
Landscape architect Kirsten Rimes said the area LaBond proposed for the new holes is a basin and the foot traffic would compress the soil in the area, hindering water flow. Officials said they would be glad to work with LaBond on his other suggestions for the course.
The park committee plans to apply for a Michigan Department of Natural Resources grant by April 1, said Trustee Grace Borgfjord. She said they are also in the process of planning some fundraising efforts. Funding must be secured before any projects on the parks begin.
Prior to being elected township supervisor in November 2008, Heiny-Cogswell worked as a landscape architect for O'Boyle, Cowell, Blalock and Associates.
She said she still has a "loose contract" with the company to work on a freelance basis. But since taking office she said she has only earned $187 from the firm.
In spring 2009, Heiny-Cogswell abstained from the vote when the township board voted to award the parks contract to O'Boyle, Cowell, Blalock and Associates. The township parks committee had recommended the firm get the contract.
|Below are the improvements that are planned for Township Park and Flesher Field:

SAGINAW, MI — Each time The Band Perry takes the stage during their first headlining tour, kicking things off with their recent hit "Done," Neil Perry said he imagines cellphones in the audience being used to call exes, who the song inspired their fans to break up with.
The energy driven song calls out, "I don't wanna be your 'just for fun,' don't wanna be under your thumb; all I wanna be is done."
That's the energy Perry and his siblings Kimberly Perry and Reid Perry hope to bring to their show 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, at Saginaw's Dow Event Center, 303 Johnson.
"It's been bigger sing-alongs than we've ever had before and it's been a really exciting show," Kimberly Perry said of the We Are Pioneers World Tour, which has already made its way through Europe and Canada.

Even Brodeur, Lamoriello can't escape
scrutiny after Devils' latest playoff failure
It ended badly for the Devils. Of that there is no debate.
The bigger question following their first-round playoff loss to the Rangers is whether reputations were tarnished in the process.
When Martin Brodeur refused to shake the hand of Rangers instigator Sean Avery on the ice Friday night at the Prudential Center, it broke with NHL tradition and sprayed snow in the face of sportsmanship. Whether it will hurt Brodeur's reputation as hockey's good-guy goalie remains to be seen.
"I have no comment on that, but I support Marty 100 percent," Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said yesterday on the first day of his long offseason.
"I've seen it before, and we'll see it again. There are reasons why it was done that other people don't know. There is a line people can cross in this game."
Without being specific, Lamoriello hinted that Avery may have made some personal comments to Brodeur that prompted the goalie to snub his rival in the handshake line.
And then there is Lamoriello himself, long regarded as one of the game's top GMs. After another spring of disappointment, it is fair to wonder whether Devils coach Brent Sutter was given a team capable of going very far in the playoffs.
The organization's track record of finding unsigned talent is excellent, but Lamoriello's recent history of signing free agents can be questioned, especially when it comes to defensemen.
Since their last Stanley Cup in 2003, the Devils have signed Richard Matvichuk, Vladimir Malakhov, Dan McGillis, Karel Rachunek and Vitaly Vishnevski. None have made a significant impact. Rachunek and Vishnevski, last summer's additions, weren't even in the Devils' lineup when these playoffs began.
"It didn't work out where maybe we thought it would," Lamoriello said. "I'll take responsibility for that. Rachunek was playing well. Then he got hurt and other guys started playing well."
Not well enough.
"We didn't play well at the end of the season going into the playoffs," left winger Jay Pandolfo said. "You can't limp into the playoffs and expect to turn it around."
Perhaps money for those free agents might have been better spent on a No. 1 center to replace Scott Gomez or a goal-scorer.
According to Lamoriello, he has the full support of owner Jeff Vanderbeek to make changes and sign free agents this summer. What some are wondering is whether the GM has lost his magic touch or whether his philosophy, that the Devils do not rebuild, is the right approach.
"There's always change," Lamoriello said. "You start with your goaltender, and we still have the best goaltender in the world.
"I have no question in my mind about whether we had the right personnel. We didn't get the job done collectively on a consistent basis. I don't see a lot of necessary changes."
The season started with a nine-game road trip while the new arena was being completed and the Devils went 3-6-1 in their first 10 games. Even Brodeur started slowly.
They turned it around and were in first place in the Eastern Conference as late as March 19, but a five-game losing streak March 19-27 hurt them.
"You go through a long year. You form an identity on your team," Sutter said. "There was an identity here before, but we had to make some change. There was stuff Mr. Lamoriello and I talked about last summer and we implemented.
"You have a 99-point regular season and not a lot of people give you any credit at all for what you've done and the way we played."
But Lamoriello has long said the Devils' season is judged solely on what they do in the playoffs. And that ended badly.
"I thought we got away from our game in the playoffs to some degree," Sutter said. "Especially as the series went on.
"You can't fault your goaltender when you make the amount of mistakes we made. You give up quality scoring chances like that, you're playing risky hockey."
It is a franchise in transition, even if Lamoriello won't call it rebuilding.

Asian football power mobilised against hunger29 July 2011
and Dr. Kwak Chung-hwan during the
handover ceremony © FAO
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (FAO) -- The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Acting President Zhang Jilong has affirmed that the exceptional power of Asian football is being mobilised to eradicate food insecurity throughout Asia.
Speaking in his welcoming remarks during the handover of over US$400 000 in contribution to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) at AFC House here on Friday, Zhang said:
"Today is a special day for AFC as we take another giant step towards fulfilling our social obligations.
"AFC signed a historic agreement last year with the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and decided to use football in the global fight against hunger.
"The exceptional power of Asian football is now mobilising the willingness, the decisions, and the resources to eradicate food insecurity throughout Asia."
Zhang handed over a mock cheque to FAO Assistant Director General for Asia and the Pacific Hiroyuki Konuma on the sidelines of the AFC Executive Committee Meeting.
FIFA Vice-President HRH Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, AFC Vice Presidents and AFC Social Responsibility Committee Chairman Dr. Kwak Chung Hwan were also present during the handover ceremony.
AFC joined hands with FAO in May 2010 with the purposeful intention of using football and football-related activities to help combat global hunger, which has reached the one billon threshold.
The partnership is part of the overall Dream Asia Social Responsibility programme of AFC, which is keen to fulfil its obligation of helping less-privileged communities in Asia.
Zhang has said that AFC is aware that food is a fundamental human right and the football governing body is determined to help FAO in putting food on the table for the under-privileged.
"And, true to our partnership, the opening match of our flagship competition AFC Asian Cup in Qatar in January 2011 was dedicated to raising awareness about FAO's noble campaign.
"I would like to assure the FAO Assistant Director General Mr Konuma that AFC will deploy all its popular platforms to promote your message.
"The fight against hunger needs money. And today I am happy to inform you that we will be further enhancing our ties with FAO by making a modest donation to their coffers. This is a clear indication of our resolve to help FAO in more ways than one.
"AFC and FAO are united by the shared desire that there should be no more hungry mouths to feed in our continent. This is our combined struggle for food justice, a fight in which we are determined to unleash our humanity," said Zhang.
In his appreciation remarks, Konuma has said that the problem of hunger which keeps rising is the most dramatic manifestation of poverty, disparity and food price volatility.
He said: "Almost 1 billion people live in chronic hunger today. Let me begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to AFC for supporting the mission of FAO through the Asian Football against Hunger initiative, undertaken during the 2011 Asian Football Cup, last January in Doha.
"The funds will be used exclusively to implement small projects in order to give concrete solutions to the poorest communities in Asia and give rural dwellers opportunities to learn and produce food and have a better life.
Konuma has also recounted the history of football's involvement, including in Asia, with FAO in the fight against hunger.
"In 2008, FAO initiated a partnership campaign to reach out to various regional football associations as part of its Professional Football against Hunger campaign. To date, it has established partnerships with the regional football association in Africa with CAF, in Europe with the EPFL, in Latin America with CONMEBOL, and in Asia through the AFC.
"The Asian Football against Hunger campaign achieved wide public and media attention as witnessed by a media dossier of over 300 pages containing press and internet news in Arabic, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian languages.
Going forward, Konuma has reported that the AFC and FAO held a Working Group meeting at the AFC house on Thursday to review the first year of cooperation and to plan for the future.
"We agreed on a framework for the future, working together at both strategic and operational levels through a wide range of activities such as AFC's Under-19 Women's Championship to be held in Vietnam in October 2011, and for 2012 we foresee to work hand-in-hand during the AFC Champion Leagues' campaign," he said.

The Ponds, a massive planned community near Summerville, is being sold to a Florida real estate developer.
Kolter Acquisitions LLC, an affiliate of Kolter Homes LLC, purchased the 1,950-acre community from Greenwood Communities and Resorts, the seller announced Wednesday
The price was not disclosed.
Greenwood officials said the sale will allow their firm to focus on a 2,000-acre resort development it runs near Hilton Head Island.
"We are ready to get back to the business we know best: resort management," said Bubba Self, president of Greenwood Communities and member of the Self family, who founded the company. "Our core business began as resorts with Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, and we are glad to get back to our roots and focus on this popular and beautiful oceanfront property."
A spokeswoman for the firm said the price Kolter is paying will not be disclosed until the deal is finalized in December.
The buyer is involved in more than half dozen developments between North Carolina and Florida, according to its website. Officials at its Tampa, Fla., headquarters were not available for comment Wednesday.
Dorchester County Councilman George Bailey, who met with representatives from The Ponds on Wednesday, said he's confident that new ownership will not change the vision of the development.
"My eyes and ears will be open to any changes they want to do," he said. "I don't know of any changes of what they will do with the project."
Bailey, who represents the district that includes The Ponds property, also said he was "glad to see the development is moving forward, and Dorchester County can also get more revenue from the new residential housing."
The Ponds is near the headwaters of the Ashley River, a few miles from the convergence of U.S. Highway 17A and Dorchester Road.
Upstate-based Greenwood Communities bought the property in 2005. At the time, it was considered the biggest residential real estate development in the county's history. It's approved for 1,950 residences.
The Pond features new homes generally priced from about $250,000 to the $400,000-range. It also includes amenities like a pool, pavilion, 11-acre multipurpose field and a restored historic farmhouse. The development also includes an outdoor waterfront amphitheater and parks.
The Ponds had 57 home sales that sold for an average of $339,592 between January and Oct. 23, up from the 43 sales at an average of $302,414 for the same span in 2012, officials said.
The Ponds is one of several large-scale developments in the Summerville area. Others include Carnes Crossroads, a development by Daniel Island Co., and Nexton, a mixed-use community being built by MeadWestvaco Corp's real estate arm.

This restored 19th century farmhouse serves as the sales center at The Ponds, which itself is being sold.×
