Bands upbeat for 'All Messed Up' music experience
You People has three more practices until its first show. It has three songs written. And as the band runs through a noisy punk track at its downtown practice space, the instruments fall out of sync, the song flies off the rails and drummer Anthony Schwader bursts out into nervous, hysterical laughter.
"You feel nervous and anticipation," Schwader says. "But I think those feelings are good feelings. You feel them when you do something new." »Read Full Article(1)

In the first scene of Richard Kalinoski's "Beast on the Moon" - now on stage in a beautiful and nuanced production at In Tandem's Tenth Street Theatre - 19-year-old Aram Tomasian learns that his newly arrived child bride is not the girl he'd been promised.

BAR HARBOR — One of Bar Harbor's most frequent cruise ship visitors is set to purchase a literal ton of local lobster next time they pull into port.
The planned purchase of 2,000 pounds of lobster by Holland America Lines for passengers on the liner Massdam comes during a crisis-of-sorts for the local lobster industry, the result of historically low prices and high fuel and bait costs.
"If we could make a big enough thing out of this, that the trickle down effect could come out of this and help our prices…it's only doing good," said local lobsterman and influential industry representative Jon Carter. "Any new market that can be developed now is good for the industry."
Local officials and lobstermen have for years discussed the potentials of selling to cruise lines, but regulations, red tape and the sheer enormity of the procurement process have been seen as insurmountable roadblocks, said town councilor Paul Paradis, one of the main coordinators of the project. The current crisis in the lobster industry, he said, sparked a renewed interest and an energetic response.
After considering the issue he thought, "there's ships here all the time, why don't they have Bar Harbor lobster on them? I saw this as a good chance for everyone to get on the same page, and everyone wins."
A number of people have been involved in the effort, Mr. Paradis said, including State Senator Brian Langley, chamber of commerce director Chris Fogg, Mr. Carter, and Cruise Maine's Amy Powers.
Ms. Powers used her connections in the industry to contact Stein Kruse, the president of Holland America, to explain the local fishing situation and ask if he was interested in maybe helping out. She chose Holland America because their ships are the most frequent visitors to town during the summer months.
"He responded to my email within 20 minutes…that they would be happy to consider doing that type of transaction," Ms. Powers said. "I thought that was really monumental."
Once the deal was in the works, the big question became one of process. Just how, exactly, does one deliver 2,000 lobsters to a floating city? All manner of red tape and government security approval are necessary, not to mention the ability to cull and deliver the order.
For this, and with recommendations from Mr. Carter and Mr. Langley, Mr. Paradis turned to Warren Pettigrow of the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound. Mr. Pettigrow is currently the largest buyer of Bar Harbor lobsters, and already has all of the equipment, staff and certifications necessary to do the job right, Mr. Paradis said.
"I called Warren, and he said… 'we're going to get one shot at this. We've got to make it a raging success.' He was very interested."
Mr. Pettigrow said that to deliver 2,000 grade-A lobsters, his company would have to sort through around 8,000 lobsters. That may sound like a big job to the lay person, but he said it is actually one of the smaller projects he has going on right now.
The sale represents a very positive turn of events for the local lobster industry, Mr. Pettigrow said.
"The ships can be a real headache for the fishermen. Before, none of them seemed to have any gain," he said. "We think this is one small step in the right direction. We might be able to supply fresh, local Bar Harbor lobster to a number of cruise ships coming to the area down the road."
A Holland America Lines ship carrying more than 1,200 passengers is set to drop anchor off Bar Harbor at the end of next week, and the delivery of local lobster is likely to occur then. All involved are hoping that the event goes well.
"We wanted it to be a local solution to a local problem," Mr. Paradis said. "We've got one shot at this. We want to make sure it's a success, and a local success."
As plans for the shipment came to realization earlier in July, Mr. Paradis wrote town councilor chairman Ruth Eveland to inform her of everything that was going on and to explain the potential outcomes of the situation. Ms. Eveland summed up her opinion of the matter rather concisely in a return email.
"Very good work," she wrote. And that was all.

ICD-10 collaboratives best practices
ICD-10 collaboratives are collections of healthcare organizations that work together to manage their ICD-10 transition projects.
These ICD-10 collaboratives have many benefits such as opening communication between organizations, easing the transition workload and lowering prices of common services. These were explained to me by Mark Jahn, currently vice president of Atrilogy Solutions Group. He helped create the Minnesota ICD-10 Collaborative, a collection of more than 20 regional health plans and healthcare providers and is now in southern California and gathering support for a regional ICD-10 collaborative.
He has examined ICD-10 collaboratives in Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina and Wisconsin. While those collaboratives are different in many ways, he came up best practices for successful ICD-10 collaboratives:
Secure executive buy in
In Minnesota, Jahn started with the leaders of three major health plans. Getting them on board early gave the idea of a collaborative credibility and made it easier to talk to other parties about it.
Identify a host organization early
An organization such as a professional or hospital association would have access to healthcare professionals and possibly provide funding. I could see it also adding credibility to the effort.
Start with core group and expand
Small group dynamics make start up efforts much easier. You can still gather feedback from many sources. But starting simple will help create a strong foundation that can support an expanding membership.
Recruit CMS
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) obviously has a lot of expertise to share. Some state collaboratives found CMS representation to be valuable.
Bring outside speakers
Experts in various areas can add a lot of education to meetings.
Recruit a broad base
Healthcare payers, providers and vendors are obvious members of any ICD-10 collaborative. They all have a lot to gain through education and communication. But professional organizations and associations have a place too. They may already be doing part of the work. And they have access to professionals the collaborative wants to reach.
Define clear mission and goals
Don't forget realistic. Any organization needs to understand what it needs to do. It will keep members and work groups focused on getting tasks done.
Someone needs to pay
A host organization(s) often funds the ICD-10 collaborative. Except in Minnesota and North Carolina. Those ICD-10 collaboratives charge membership fees and are "substantially" ahead in their ICD-10 preparation, according to Jahn. The Minnesota ICD-10 Collaborative was created after organizers hired Jahn's firm (before he worked for Atrilogy) to create the collaborative.
Professional associations traditionally rely on volunteers to keep the organizations running. For the most part this works very well. But when members pay for services and access, that creates accountability.
This doesn't mean volunteers aren't effective. But fees and sponsorships can buy a higher degree of accountability. And in the case of the ICD-10 transition and a looming deadline, that accountability might make the difference when it comes to a successful ICD-10 transition.

Ready for more inspiration from our super talented Australian vendors? Good… because Daisy of Leo & Bella is sharing her daughter's beautiful first birthday celebration with us today: a Vintage Summer Garden Party filled with whimsy and soft pastels! Delicate ruffles, angelic flowers & sugary treats made this outdoor picnic party a sweet day to remember. I just love how happy little Isabella looks in the pictures below!
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
– Charming plates/cups display and apothecary jars adorned with fabric rosettes & buttons
– Darling vintage invitations + matching muslin treat bags and paper details throughout
– Ruffle cakes, fondant flowers, polka dot bunny cookies & more
– Yellow buttercream smash cake + one very smiley birthday girl!
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Daisy…
I had my heart set on having a summer garden party for Isabella filled with everything pastel and beautiful, incorporating all vintage pieces that I have collected along the years.
The first time I met Li-Ann from Ham & Pea Design and Paperie, I knew she was the one who will be designing the invitations for Isabella's 1st Birthday. My exact instructions were pastel colours and flowers and an element of rabbit as my daughter was born in the year of Rabbit. I never knew what I wanted the invitations to look like but when Li-Ann sent me the proofs, this was the exactly the invites I had in mind and she blew me away with her talent. She also created all the printables for the whole event including buffet labels, lolly tags, lolly bag iron – on, drink bottle wrappers & chocolate wrappers.
I then contacted my trusty cake maker Helen from Kiss My Cakes. Over a cup of tea, we have decided to have 3 cakes on gorgeous cake stands displayed on a vintage dresser. The main cake to be designed around the invites and a blue ruffle cake and a yellow buttercream smash cake. Helen also made beautiful rose cupcakes, bunny cookies. I placed the bunny cookies on a cake stand inside a vintage wooden suitcase that I painted in mint green along with some personalised chocolate bar.
Two days before the party I found an old side table, gave it a coat of paint and a new lease in life. It was a perfect candy table to accompany the dessert table. It was a huge hit and the children were helping themselves to the candy without any assistance. I handmade the fabric yoyo decoration for the candy jars to give it a vintage feel. I also made some paper fan doilies in pastel colours for decoration. Kids fill their personalised muslin favour bags with mint choc beans, orange jelly beans, hershey kisses, banana candy, strawberry cloud and little piggies. Adults took home personalised dark chocolate candy bar.
We served iced cranberry fizz in an apothecary drink dispenser on a vintage drink trolley. I dressed up mini glass drink bottles with a personalised wrapper and a lovely ribbon bow topped with a pink paper straws.
We asked all guest bring their own picnic blanket so everyone could lounge, relax and enjoy the afternoon in the garden on a beautiful summers day. The highlight of the party Isabella the time of her life smashing through the delicious sponge cake on her vintage high chair.

We all have battery-powered devices, and so we all have at one point or another faced two important questions: Why won't this stupid thing work and are generic batteries just as good as brand name ones? The latter (and maybe the former) has plagued mankind for decades. Now, thankfully, a physicist has decided to tackle the problem.
Much like most of the world, Rhett Allain, an associate professor of physics at Southeastern Louisiana University, had taken the typical route of buying the cheapest batteries. When he decided to see which ones were better, he conducted several complicated tests that only a professor could truly understand for Wired magazine. He tested an Energizer and a Duracell battery against a generic battery purchased from a Dollar Store.
What he found was the brand name batteries had more energy and lasted longer, but the generic battery was so much cheaper that it still makes sense to purchase them over an Energizer or Duracell. So, question solved! However, keep in mind that the brand name batteries are actually better, so if you happen upon a sale, buy in bulk.

The denervation theory of the causation of diabetes insipidus holds high interest at the present time. This theory is based on the assumption that diabetes insipidus is due to the absence of, or to a deficiency in, the antidiuretic principle which is elaborated by hypophysial tissue. It depicts that this tissue is activated only by neurogenic influences carried by the nerve fibers which take origin in the hypothalamus and pass to the hypophysis by way of the infundibular stalk.
In an early statement of the theory, the antidiuretic principle was assumed to be elaborated by the epithelial investment of the pars nervosa, namely, by both the pars intermedius and the pars tuberalis.1 Later, attention was focused on the infundibular process (the enlarged distal portion of the pars nervosa) as the secretory structure. This shift was largely due to the successful extraction of the antidiuretic principle from the neural lobes

Thank you for your analysis of President Obama's remarks on the George Zimmerman trial and its aftermath. I think that a close look at the way he "chose to arrogantly stoke the fires of racial division" might prove instructive.
Let's begin with the verdict. As you correctly point out, "A jury of six women accepted Zimmerman's self-defense argument." Obama's response to this: "The judge conducted the trial in a professional manner. The prosecution and the defense made their arguments. The juries were properly instructed that in a case such as this reasonable doubt was relevant, and they rendered a verdict. And once the jury has spoken, that's how our system works." Such radicalism!
You state that " (M]any black youths in this country grow up at an unfair disadvantage for cultural reasons the lack of a male role model, neighborhood drug influences, gangs, and a culture of dependence." In light of such revelations, how can Obama assert that "African-American young men are disproportionately involved in the criminal justice system. . .they're disproportionately both victims and perpetrators of violence"?
You say, "The clearest path to creating the momentum needed to give all black children the opportunity they deserve is for, above all else, black leaders to show the way. This includes civil rights officials, entertainers, athletes, ministers, business and political leaders. They are in the best position to create the needed cultural change." Obama, of course, is having none of it, pompously proclaiming that we should "gather together business leaders and local elected officials and clergy and celebrities and athletes, and figure out how we are doing a better job helping young African-American men feel that they're a part of this society and that they've got pathways and avenues to succeed I think that would be a pretty good outcome from what was obviously a tragic situation. And we're going to spend some time working on that and thinking about that." The man just doesn't get it.
I suppose it never occurred to the president that "stand your ground" laws "did not play a role in the case." After all, he betrays his ignorance when he says, "Stand your ground laws in Florida were not used as a defense in this case." What gives him the authority to question the efficacy of a law? Who does he think he is a Harvard educated law professor?

HTC: "buyer's remorse coming soon" to Samsung Galaxy S5 owners
0. phoneArena 24 Feb 2014, 14:03 posted on
HTC tries to poke fun at Samsung, implying that Galaxy S5 buyers will regret their purchase once the All New One (M8) is announced. Well, we'll see about that...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

How can one have buyers remorse for a product that isn't released yet.. and won't even be released when this is being announced.
2. Skoms (Posts: 118; Member since: 03 Feb 2014)
Sony Z2 or Samsung S5
They are both water resistent!
8. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
How many times I have to answer you.
Of course Z2, you know that.
51. LiyanaBG (Posts: 381; Member since: 07 Nov 2013)
i got to say i'm loving HTC new Marketing and they hitting it hard these days. HTC is working HARD they deserve to be on top again
64. techaman (unregistered)
no the z2 is waterproof the s5 is water resistant

htc just tryin cheap publicity stunts to disperse the attention from the great s5

Samsaung has always the most Features.

47. Hyperreal (Posts: 228; Member since: 08 Oct 2013)
you should say great disapointment. nothing interesting. in fact almost all rumors about this phone were not true.
52. LiyanaBG (Posts: 381; Member since: 07 Nov 2013)
this is called Marketing htc is learning thats what samsung does but people don't say anything when samsung does it
57. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1236; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Brother u need to relearn the definiton of marketing.
I liked HTC phones at a time (no it was not The One) but they were just snobs when they were on top pricing their products ridiculously and positioning themselves as high-end (this was when android was just a tiny little green robot, cute n all)!
Now the company faces losses and they take cheap shots at Sammyn fr what? just cuz they made one phone....one phone out of metal and glass? with unfinished software? n releasing +versions of their own flagship?
i think sony feels more premium any day of the week compared to htc.
In my opinion, HTC is already dead, they just dont know it yet!
54. InspiredSkye (Posts: 10; Member since: 25 Jun 2013)
"Great" just in terms of dimensions.
22. josephnero (Posts: 555; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
Z2 for me
33. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
I would go with Z2 if you are looking into to get a phone that's water proof because Samsung GS4 Active isn't so water proof after all...
44. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Yep, I'd rather get one of those two if the leaked M8 is the real deal.
45. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
I don't know why I can't like HTC.

pulling a samsung marketing
3. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Not even buyers remorse. Observers remorse would be more accurate. I don't see a compelling reason to trade a GS4 for this. And definitely no reason to trade a Note 3 for it.
29. THE_Hulk (Posts: 55; Member since: 09 Feb 2014)
I totally agree with you on that... note 3 is a lot better than S5 s**t. to my opinion, note 3 will still rule and Z2 is gonna take Galaxy's crown
42. Dante216 (Posts: 32; Member since: 18 Dec 2013)
What is the tech blog comments section's obsession with Sony phones? No one wants them. No way will the Z2 take any crown.
48. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Because people think Sony is going to overthrow Samsung like it's the 17th century or something.
65. techaman (unregistered)
we want them we just cant get them that easy in america i would love the z1 over the s5 i would feel like i am holding 600 in hand
72. Nexus_bear (Posts: 32; Member since: 19 Nov 2013)
I drool over Sony products. Always have always will. But lack of a mobile device presence in the US really keeps me from owning a Sony. If this comes as a Google play edition I'd sell my nexus 5 and Google play edition S4 on the drop of a dime.
4. kalloud (Posts: 148; Member since: 21 Jun 2012)
Competition, competition Z2 ; S5 ; One 2014 ; G3 ..

That's what I think too.. so everyone who got an 2013 phone no need to upgrade this year.. thx OEM for saving my money :P

Isnt the S5 being released on April 11th???
12. Florin.T (Posts: 226; Member since: 16 Dec 2013)
It will go on sale in the US in April, yes, but Asia and Europe should get it starting March.
19. sipha (Posts: 434; Member since: 12 May 2012)
rumours put it around 15 march
24. limporgyuk (Posts: 276; Member since: 06 Nov 2013)
The new One is being unveiled 25th March
28. Florin.T (Posts: 226; Member since: 16 Dec 2013)
Hm, it seems that Samsung's official word on the availability of the S5 is "April" for all markets after all. Oh well.
7. Kishin (Posts: 704; Member since: 30 May 2013)
HTC I don't think so what can they do that Samsung can't.. Design it not enough..
25. sipha (Posts: 434; Member since: 12 May 2012)
whats are you talking about?? Except for unorthodox HTC camera, the HTC One and the galaxy s4 were evenly matched last year...
32. jphillips63 (Posts: 221; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
I tell ya what HTC can do that Samsung can't and that's get service in the areas that don't get good cell reception. The radios in HTC are as good as motorola and Samsung don't even get close in that area.
9. misha76 (Posts: 3; Member since: 19 Feb 2014)
very poor design.I wouldnt buy the S5.Not innovative enough.With designs from sony and htc and even LG,this is poor indeed.Ive always maintained that the best in the series was the S2.Never got any better
59. FeRoZ (Posts: 33; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
I agree with i had the S2 for 2 yrz i was really happy with it now i got the G2 and im even happier So i think this year will b either HTC r LG's year only if dey kee. It r8 ;)
10. Jayshmay (Posts: 82; Member since: 27 Mar 2011)

Could this be the new name of it ?
13. N.Reynolds (Posts: 257; Member since: 15 Feb 2011)
HAHAHAHAHA Yes I love HTC! Please do better than the S5, though that shouldn't be hard. I am not dissapointed Spec wise with the S5. I personally feel we have peaked with specs. So they should change something else like hmmm I don't know. Maybe the design? Smh Samsung.....
14. gprime (Posts: 28; Member since: 05 Oct 2013)
Did Samsung copy Apple a Lil in design, but look at this and the s4, y would upgrade? At the same time look at last year's iPhone to the new one? And people still upgraded. So people r going to do what they want regardless of how stupid it is. I for one luv my note 3, but I wonder if Samsung will copy Apple again and come out with a premium version just like the crappy I phone 5c
15. BillyBoy (Posts: 40; Member since: 01 Jul 2013)
Last bullet for HTC, so, make it count.
17. datphoneguy (Posts: 154; Member since: 15 Sep 2013)
Well given the fact that the GS5 will be released in April, this actually gives HTC a fighting chance to survive in the market if they can present and release their phone in late March/early April as scheduled....
20. mobi_user (Posts: 151; Member since: 18 Jun 2013)
Finally HTC has something to poke at.
21. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
sorry HTC, but design itself is not enough to win costumers, and this attack on samsung will not help you either.
39. Hyperreal (Posts: 228; Member since: 08 Oct 2013)
really? and what does it lack for you? the specs will be the same.
43. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
will the HTC be waterproof? finger print scanner? better camera? better features? more options for cases and accessories?
if HTC has those or better, then i might consider HTC.
74. ady_lad (Posts: 82; Member since: 17 Jul 2013)
Really? OK...you got a point with a better camera(i still loved the HTC One camera)...and waterproof would be useful...now for the rest...fingerprint scanner, how is that enev useful mate? cases and accesories...there is such a big market out there...is that what you are buying a Samsung Galaxy for?
77. williamdroid (Posts: 125; Member since: 19 Jan 2014)
Though i loved the Front Facing stereo Speakers, i hate onscreen buttons (leaks say the M8 will have them), i need a removable battery, and a micro SD card slot.
Water proof is a plus but not a deal breaker.
Plastic or metal i couldn't care less. I always put on a case. And you cannot feel Metal through an Otterbox Defender.
27. jphillips63 (Posts: 221; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
What HTC has over Samsung is the radios installed. HTC radio is on par with motorola and that says a lot when it comes to having service in areas that have less than desirable coverage. Who cares about waterproof? Really that's a gimmick and who s gonna go swimming or submerge there phone in water anyhow?
38. Astoni (Posts: 649; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)
Not really a gimmick. As a Z1 i've had some real usage for the waterproofness.

Love it HTC! Samsung did it to Apple, now HTC is doing it to Sammy. You have my money HTC, same specs, better design and UI! There is no way I could ever be drunk enough to get the S5 over the HTC One.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Donna Babcock was driving home from work in the rain and couldn't see the pothole in the dark, but she sure felt it.
"It physically hurt," Babcock said.
It hurt her car and wallet, too: Repairs to her 11-year-old BMW were more than $2,000. Fortunately, her insurance company covered all but the $500 deductible.
This frigid winter has been a bad one for potholes across the Northeast. (Watch the video above to see how many we found last week.) One Central New York paving company owner said it's the worst winter he's seen in 35 years of doing business.
Public works crews have been fixing holes, but in the winter they can only use temporary patch that can break up in a day under heavy traffic. Long-term relief won't come until April, when the asphalt plants open up for the season and start producing permanent filler.
Babcock said it was dark and raining on Feb. 21 when she hit the pothole on Park Street near the Regional Market. She was coming home from work when the front right tire bottomed out.
"I told my husband it was like the Grand Canyon in there," she said.
The steering didn't feel right, Babcock said, but she was able to drive the car the five miles to her house. At the repair shop the next day, she found out the car had a broken tie rod, bent rim, damaged tire and a broken bumper. The total bill was over $2,000.
Babcock filed a police report about the pothole.
"A few days later, it was patched over," she said.
We're building a map of the worst potholes in Central New York. If you find one, add it to our database.
Here's the insurance claim Babcock filed:

Toleration, pluralism and social consensus: reassessing liberal political thought and practice in the Anglo-Saxon tradition
This international conference will focus on the complex tensions that exist between the core concepts of pluralism and social consensus at the heart of political liberalism since its inception in the early modern era. Be it through religious toleration then or through multiculturalism today, liberalism continues to struggle both in theory and in practice with the accommodation of an infinite variety of individual experiences, values, and demands within the pluralist society it seeks to develop and protect. In its recent theoretical developments, political liberalism has notably used the concept of value-pluralism as a basis for its adaptation to multiculturalism, but late twentieth and early twenty-first century self-declared liberal or post-liberal theory continues to think creatively of ways to reconcile the tension between toleration/pluralism and social consensus. One may for instance think of Rawls' 'public reason' or Gray's 'modus Vivendi' as particularly relevant at a time when religious and political discourses seem to interpenetrate so closely again.
We therefore invite papers that will not only explore recent political theory in its attempts to understand the relation between toleration, pluralism and social consensus, but that will also seek out potential loopholes in the traditional readings of classical liberal sources and bring to light those aspect that do not fit the 'convenient' narrative of conceptual reconciliation as it is told by that tradition.
Paramount to us is the necessity to assess both the role of contingency and history in the formulation of theory and the influence of normative theory on practical policies, such as, for instance, toleration policies in the early modern era, or the adoption of multicultural ones in a more recent context. Following that line of inquiry, any gap between theory and practice will be of special interest, as it may reveal how conflicts of ideas preceded the emergence of the dominant view and shed light on how the latter endures. Within this framework, 'alternative' or 'counter' visions of liberalism may also come to the fore.
Papers will be delivered in English.
Please send an abstract (between 250 and 350 words), a short CV and a bibliography to email@example.com and email@example.com

The following search of IBM System i Support documents lists a KB
document that describes a case where the user owns no objects [and
another document]:
FWiW: As a perceived problem, it may be most prudent to open a
problem report to establish origin and/or most appropriate resolution.
Regardless, I offer additionally...
DMPOBJ TheUsrPrf *USRPRF and DMPDLO *INT requests, both may leave
some worthwhile details [available for review, from] prior to any
recovery attempt activity.
If it were an ownership issue, then often the modified request using
DLTUSRPRF OWNOBJOPT(*CHGOWN NamedUser) can assist. Having requested to
CRTUSRPRF DLTME PASSWORD(*NONE) enables a good choice for NamedUser,
better than QDFTOWN for example, because then what object was reassigned
can probably be found and addressed.
I just used the RCLDLO *ALL on my system w/out restricted state. I
recall there was a KB document naming likely subsystems [and/or jobs;
e.g. the *SBSD QSNADS] that would prevent RCLDLO; i.e. specific ending
of subsystems and jobs, versus restricted state, may be an available
option to enable using RCLDLO.
I am not sure if distributions associated with the profile might
cause similar, but querying for those for the problematic user might
have value, such that if any are found those can be deleted -- those are
not objects that are /owned/ in the more familiar sense, so WRKOBJOWN
would not show those.

Robyn Karnauskas - Deutsche Bank AG, Research Division
Just quickly on oprozomib. Maybe you could give us some thoughts on whether or not you think you'll be able to quickly progress from Phase I to Phase III like Millennium and maybe potential timelines? And second, are insurers for Kyprolis requesting any proof of progression on Del Rev or progression within 60 days?
Okay. I think with regards to the oprozomib question, Barb, I'd ask you to give you some color commentary.
Barbara Klencke
So our current ongoing study is the Phase I/II, which means that our intent is to do the dose finding with dose escalation to maximum tolerated dose, identify the optimal dosing schedule, and then to expand in Phase II as efficiently as we can utilizing that same study. So our current plan is Phase I, Phase II before we move into Phase III.
Helen I. Torley
And with regard to the coverage policies for Kyprolis, where there are prior authorizations in place or they're asking for additional documentation, that generally is taking the form of a simple form where the physician is asked to affirm that the patient has previously received bortezomib and an IMiD and is now progressing. So the physician just affirms that and, obviously, has the documentation in their case records to indicate that's the case.

ok, totally stealing this idea, thanks P!
[B]Optimal Health Plan with Rumble Strips[/B]
All carbs from veggies and seasonal fruits
Fat fast till 4:30 most days (all calories from fat)
doing 3:2:2=
--at least 2 days of 550 calories or less
--up to 2 days of 1300 calories or less
--4 days of thoughtful eating to hunger (about 2,100 calories)
Weigh and Measure 1x/week (Saturdays) Track in journal or MFP.
Track food every evening (check food rumble strips)
Working on N.E.A.T....for now, eventually add in Tabata
-10,000 steps a day
-10 flights of stairs
---computer time at home less than 1 hour
---use upstairs bathroom
---30 minutes on treadmill every day
to get to where I don't need an alarm to wake up (about 7.5 hours of actual sleep)
To bed by 10
I find I am not having trouble with this as long as I stick to the 3:2:2 plan (which I did very well with for 2.5 months, so back to it!)
Use journal to evaluate daily.
Re-evaluate weekly to be sure I have not aimed too high or too low.
p.s. to me the rumble strip is about having a very specific path to follow with very specific limits. So things like saying I am going to work on my N.E.A.T. would not be enough, but adding that I will get 10,000 steps a day and 10 flights of stairs makes it specific enough.

The number of calls relating to debt help from people living outside the UK but who are struggling to repay their UK debts is growing.
The Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) has reported a rise in the number of people calling its helpline who are struggling to repay their UK debts. Compared to the same period last year, there's already been a 33% increase in the number of people outside the UK who have contacted the CCCS for debt help.
Laura Carver, CCCS helpline manager says: "The decreasing value of the pound is the main reason that those living abroad are struggling to repay their debts.
We have had people whose income had allowed them to life comfortably abroad, and although that income hasn't changed, they have been left struggling to make ends meet by the decreasing value of the pound. Many are considering moving back to the UK."
This comes as Credit Action reports that the total UK personal debt at the end of February 2010 stood at £1,464bn. The twelve-month growth was 0.9%. Individuals owe more than what the whole country produces in a year.
If you are worried whether you can manage your debts, it's best not to ignore these worries as if you have a debt problem it won't go away without you taking some action.
If you're starting to worry about your debt, perhaps having some sleepless nights, it's certainly time to consider getting some debt help.

Unemployment drops
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits dropped 12,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 334,000, a decline that suggests steady job gains will endure.
The less volatile four-week average decreased 7,250 to 345,250, the Labor Department said Thursday. Both figures are roughly 7,000 higher than month-ago levels, which were the lowest in five years.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. Since January, they have fallen 6.5 percent, suggesting employers are cutting fewer jobs.
At the same time, hiring has been steady. Employers added 175,000 jobs in May, the department said last week. That nearly matched the monthly average for the previous year. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.6 percent, but for a good reason: More Americans were confident they could find work and began searching for a job.
Separately, the Commerce Department said that retail sales rose 0.6 percent in May from April.
The gain shows consumers remain resilient despite higher taxes and could drive faster growth later this year.
Economists were encouraged by both reports.
"The retail sales result is a plus, no question," said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. "And the improving trend in jobless claims is supportive for future spending."

To the Editor:
Concerning last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision that permits corporations, as well as labor unions, to spend unlimited funds for election-related purposes:
We now live in a "corporatocracy."
The right-wing slant that unions, as well as businesses, can now support a political candidacy freely is bull.
The unions are the workers, not the owners. There is no justice with this decision. No justice, no peace.

Barn fire started in burn pile
DUVALLFire crews responding to a reported brush fire last week discovered the flames had also consumed the back wall of a barn. Crews from Duvall and Woodinville doused the flames and checked for hot spots.
An investigator from the Fire Marshal's Office determined the fire spread from a burn pile that was left unattended.
Duvall Fire Chief John Lambert said the garbage burn was illegal and urged residents to contact their local fire department for regulations on outdoor burning.
"The potential is high for dangerous wildfires this year," he said. "People need to be extremely cautious."

James Franco may literally be the hardest working man in show business. Between the movies and the books and the academic pursuits and the art shows and the ... yada yada yada. Suffice it to say that, whether you love him or not -- and we do -- the very busy actor is an interesting guy.
In honor of his new flick, '127 Hours' -- which is already stirring Oscar buzz in advance of its November 5 release -- we present 127 interesting things about James Franco.
1. James Edward Franco was born on April 19, 1978, in Palo Alto, California.
2. He shares the same birthday as Dudley Moore, Kate Hudson, Hayden Christensen, Tim Curry, Jayne Mansfield and Jesse James.
3. He has two younger brothers, Tom and Dave.
4. His parents met as students at Stanford.
5. His dad graduated from Harvard Business School.
6. His grandmother, artist Mitzi Levine Verne, runs the Verne Art Gallery in Cleveland.
7. Franco's mother says that when he was four years old, she had to explain death to him after a family friend passed away. He began crying and said, "But I don't want to die! I have so much to do!"
8. He had buck teeth and wore braces as a child.
9. As a teen, he was known as Ted, short for his middle name. His family also called him Ted.
10. In high school, he was arrested for underage drinking.
11. And for graffiti.
12. And for being part of a group that stole designer fragrances from department stores and sold them to classmates.
13. He graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1996. Among the school's other famous alumni: Joan Baez, 'Perry Mason' creator Erle Stanley Gardner, 'The Lion King' director Rob Minkoff, and Grace Slick.
14. His classmates voted him the person with the best smile.
15. Franco: "In junior high and high school, sure, girls told me I was cute or whatever, but I was so shy I could never really make anything happen or cash in."
16. Franco was one of People magazine's 50 Hottest Bachelors in 2004.
17. After high school, Franco attended UCLA for one year, before dropping out to pursue an acting career.
18. After dropping out of UCLA to pursue acting, he worked at McDonald's -- in the drive-thru.
19. He was a vegetarian -- until he started working at McDonald's.
20. Before landing his breakout role in 'Freaks and Geeks,' his resume had mostly consisted of a Pizza Hut commercial and a minor role as high-schooler Jason in the Drew Barrymore romantic comedy 'Never Been Kissed.'
21. Frequent Franco collaborator Judd Apatow, describing his first impression of the actor when he auditioned for the short-lived cult TV series 'Freaks and Geeks' in 1999: "What I remember about meeting James was that he had this really big mouth, and he was very skinny and very greasy ... After we hired him, we kept hearing from women in the office that he was so dreamy. We didn't know what the hell they were talking about."
22. Franco was not a smoker until he played James Dean in TNT's 2001 made-for-TV biopic. That particular bit of Method acting turned him into a two-packs-a-day smoker.
23. To prepare for 'James Dean,' he also cut himself off from friends and family for three months (including his then-girlfriend, actress Marla Sokoloff) to try to experience Dean's loneliness. Sokoloff told TV Guide at the time, "You can't help but be insulted that he doesn't want to see you or talk to you. After the initial shock and being devastated, I supported his decision as much as I could."
24. He says he's less intense on movie sets these days. "I used to approach acting with a very antagonistic (attitude)," he told The Advocate. "I was very hard to get along with, and it made working in film very unpleasant. It also hurt my performances. Now I think about acting differently. I feel a little detached from acting, actually. I still work really hard, but for my own sanity -- and everyone else's -- I've had to surrender the results."
25. He won a Golden Globe for the performance.
26. He gave the award statuette to his mom.
27. After seeing Franco's turn as James Dean, Robert De Niro personally chose him to play his drug-addicted son in the 2002 movie 'City by the Sea'.
28. To play a homeless drug addict in the film, he actually lived on the street for a while.
29. He sold his gorgeous, multi-million-dollar Sunset Strip home in Los Angels earlier this year, for $3.3 million.
30. To research his role as a New Orleans prostitute in the 2002 Nicolas Cage-directed film 'Sonny,' Franco tried to talk to some real hookers on Santa Monica Boulevard. But they insisted on being able to touch his penis to make sure he wasn't an undercover cop.
31. He then tagged along with a real-life New Orleans male stripper/hooker as the man went on an, um, business call.
32. He first screen-tested for the role of Peter Parker in 'Spider-Man.' Instead, Sam Raimi cast him as best friend (and future nemesis) Harry Osborn.
33. Franco's former writing partner, Merriwether Williams, was a writer for 'SpongeBob SquarePants.'
34. Together, they wrote the 2005 movie called 'The Ape,' directed by and starring Franco. It's about a writer who lives with a talking ape.
35. He co-wrote (again with Williams), directed and starred in the 2007 movie 'Good Time Max,' about two very different brothers. In one scene, the troubled character played by Franco defecates on his sibling's carpet.
36. Of the role he said (no pun intended, we assume) : "It was really just a process of elimination. I was better suited for this role than the responsible surgeon."
37. Franco's real-life brother Dave is also an actor, and starred on the final season of 'Scrubs.'
38. He earned a pilot's license while making the movie 'Flyboys.'
39. He did eight months of boxing training for 'Annapolis.'
40. He trained in sword fighting and horseback riding for 'Tristan & Isolde.'
41. Of those three big budget 2006 flops, he quipped , "I thought, 'Yeah! I got these three movies!' And then I saw them all."
42. In 2006, at age 28, he returned to UCLA. He graduated with a 3.5 GPA and a degree in English just two years later.
43. He was invited to be the UCLA commencement address speaker in June 2009, but had to cancel a week before the ceremony because of a scheduling conflict. The resulting media buzz led him to create a video spoofing the situation for FunnyorDie.com.
44. Post-UCLA, he relocated to New York City, and enrolled in New York University's graduate film school.
45. And Columbia's grad program for fiction writing.
46. And Brooklyn College's fiction writing graduate program.
47. While also enrolling in a low-residency poetry program at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina.
48. And, beginning this fall, pursuing a Ph.D. in English at Yale.
49. And simultaneously enrolling at the Rhode Island School of Design.
50. Writers Mona Simpson, Gary Shteyngart and Michael Cunningham have been among his university professors.
51. He wants to teach creative writing classes someday.
52. Franco also wants to write a children's book.
53. His mother is the author of children's books like 'Mathematickles,' 'Messing Around on the Monkey Bars' and 'A Curious Collection of Cats.'
54. Franco is already a published author, however. Scribner just released his first collection of short stories, 'Palo Alto: Stories.'
55. A math whiz when he was younger, Franco once earned an internship at Lockheed Martin.
56. One of the short stories in his book is titled 'Lockheed.'
57. He says he's not letting his mom read 'Palo Alto' because some of the stories are inspired by his teenage exploits.
58. Franco doesn't like to sleep; he considers it a waste of time. Instead, he does homework for endless hours, and says he keeps his computer in a protective case because he often falls asleep from exhaustion while he's working and the laptop falls to the floor.
59. Someone snapped an infamous photo of him falling asleep during a lecture at Columbia. Now he says he's paranoid about dozing off in public, like on the subway or an Amtrak train, because he worries that someone will snap another photo of him snoozing.
60. Of bloggers who have suggested that his educational and writing opportunities came only because he's a celebrity, Franco responds: "I applied to 15 creative writing Ph.D. programs. I got into 14. Some of them only accepted one fiction writer. I know there's this idea that I'm getting a lot of opportunities because I'm a celebrity, and there certainly is truth to that, but it's not like I'm coasting. I'm working all the time. Short of writing under an alias, I'm doing everything I can to treat this as seriously as I can."
61. About academics, Franco also says, "School offered a way to focus on something that had a new criteria for success, and its own rewards. It's the reward of knowledge and learning things that I'm interested in. What it does is release me from pressure that I put on myself, where everything has to be perfect."
62. He says he doesn't smoke pot. Anymore.
63. To appear stoned in 2008's 'Pineapple Express,' he says he just rubbed his eyes and spoke slowly.
64. In a series of videos at FunnyorDie.com, Franco gives his brother Dave acting lessons. In 'Acting With James Franco Episode 1,' he tries to get Dave to remember their dead cat Tobey as a way to summon up emotions. Dave, however, isn't as emotional about the long-deceased pet as James is.
65. In a rebuttal video at FunnyorDie.com, the Franco brothers' mom Betsy tells her side of the story about having to put Tobey the cat to sleep. Betsy Franco said she enjoyed her showbiz moment so much that she took some acting classes to help her connect with her sons, and then was asked to fly to Los Angeles by chick flick director Nancy Meyers to audition for potential film roles.
66. He also starred in a viral video clip in which he and Mila Kunis spoof Justin Bobby and Audrina from 'The Hills.'
67. He has hosted 'SNL' twice: In 2008, with musical guest Kings of Leon, and in 2009, with musical guest Muse.
68. 'Saturday Night Live' star Bill Hader, a friend of Franco's, was a production assistant on the TNT production of 'James Dean.' His main job on the shoot: Making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Franco, who, according to Hader, ate PB&J, drank Red Bulls and never broke character on the set.
69. When Franco hosted 'SNL,' he played James Dean in one of Hader's trademark skits, the 'Vincent Price Christmas Special.'
70. He also guest-starred on '30 Rock' last season as James Franco, though it was a version of himself who was in love with a Japanese body pillow he named Kumiko-ton.
71. All of these comedic turns made him Harvard's Hasty Pudding Man of the Year in 2009.
72. His "prizes" from the Harvard crew: a pineapple bra and bag of fake pot, in honor of his scene-stealing role as a clueless pot dealer in 'Pineapple Express.'
73. He also was granted a rare behind-the-scenes access to document the week-long process of putting together an episode of 'Saturday Night Live.' Beastie Boy Adam Yauch's Oscilloscope Laboratories will release the result as the 93-minute 'Saturday Night' documentary.
74. Before starring as Scott Smith, the lover of Sean Penn's Harvey Milk in Gus Van Sant's 'Milk,' Franco already counted Penn among his friends. Penn had called him to congratulate him on his performance in 'James Dean' back in 2001.
75. What was he thinking when he was kissing Sean Penn while filming 'Milk'? "Well, here I am, kissing Spiccoli," he said during an interview on NPR's 'Fresh Air.'
76. In an interview with NPR, Franco said he has an addictive personality. "If there's something I like, it's hard for me to not engage with it fully."
77. The suprising role earned him a 2009 Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor.
78. In case you were wondering, no, he isn't, he told Advocate magazine.
79. In fact, Franco has been dating actress Ahna O'Reilly ('Forgetting Sarah Marshall') since 2006.
80. A 2007 gossip item linked Franco to Lindsay Lohan, suggesting that she freaked out after he rebuffed her romantic advances, including refusing to accept an expensive watch she tried to give to him.
81. The two co-starred in a fake movie trailer that was part of the 2006 Cameron Diaz/Kate Winslet/Jude Law/Jack Black romantic comedy 'The Holiday.'
82. Another 2007 romance rumor linked him to 'Camille' co-star Sienna Miller.
83. All involved denied a Miller/Franco romance, and he said they didn't even kiss much during their movie make-out because she had a very painful toothache.
84. His girlfriend threw a major bash for his 30th birthday in 2008. "It was a 'This Is Your Life, James' party," he told BlackBook magazine. "I walked in thinking we were about to have dinner, and the bar was filled with UCLA professors, everyone from my hometown, all my high school friends, everyone I'd done movies with, Tobey (Maguire), the cast of 'Milk.'"
85. He started painting in high school.
86. His first solo art show, hosted at the Clocktower Gallery in NYC, was called 'The Dangerous Book Four Boys,' inspired by the book 'The Dangerous Book for Boys,' and featured pages of the book on the walls of the gallery, with Franco's scribblings on them.
87. One of the rooms in the art show also featured a junk-strewn floor with T-shirts, tapes and lunchboxes that were among Franco's personal possessions during his teen years.
88. He had a poster of Justine Bateman in 'Satisfaction' on his bedroom wall when he was a teen.
89. A video he showed as part of his 'Dangerous Book Four Boys' art show featured him walking around the Louvre in Paris with a giant fake penis on his nose.

95. He considers his recurring role on 'General Hospital' to be performance art.
96. For his role as 'GH's' Franco, he sometimes had to learn 100 pages of script per day. The length of the average two-hour movie script, in total: 120 pages.
97. The role on 'GH' was his idea; he approached them about being on the show, or rather his manager, who also represents 'GH' star Steve Burton, approached show producers on his behalf.
99. OK! Magazine did an entire step-by-step article, with Franco's 'Howl' co-star Aaron Tveit, on how to prepare to kiss James Franco.
100. To fully achieve looking like a young Allen Ginsberg in 'Howl,' Franco needed to make his ears stick out a bit more than they do, so, instead of using prosthetics, the makeup department put a Play-Dough-ish substance behind his ears to make them jut out.
101. Franco, who played Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in the 2010 biopic 'Howl,' says his favorite word in the titular Ginsberg poem is "holy."

103. For much of the filming of '127 Hours,' Franco was enclosed in a small set where he couldn't see, and could only hear, half the crew. He would remain in place during camera changes, keeping his school books stashed under the boulder so he could read between shots.
104. He got a D in an acting class at NYU, largely because he missed a lot of classes while filming '127 Hours.'
105. Franco on whether or not he read the book before starring in the mainstream chick flick 'Eat, Pray, Love' opposite Julia Roberts: "You know, in 'Eat, Pray, Love,' my character mostly appears in the first 20 pages of the book. And I can definitely say I read the first 20 pages."

More Information
My abstract sculptural style is based on revealing the dynamic lines of various organic forms including birds and plant life. Natural forms allow me to explore their architecture, as well as their hidden mathematical beauty. I now use multiple folded pieces of paper to do this. Each folded paper unit becomes a point that describes the topology of changing planes. The original modular Chinese paper folding technique I use is called "Zhe Zhi." This technique has greatly influenced my sculptural forms. Since it is modular in nature and I use it as a fine art sculptural medium, it may contain many more folded pieces of paper than the original Chinese folk art. My artwork may have as many as 6500 pieces of recycled, re-purposed archival magazine paper and color inkjet paper. No other materials are used to shape my sculptures other than archival adhesive used to link each unit of paper. Creating solid abstract contemporary sculpture from flat paper is a challenge that consistently reveals the architectural power of paper.
The ancient "Zhe Zhi" Chinese modular paper folding technique was introduced to the west for the very first time in 1993. That is when Chinese immigrant artists were captured off the ship, "The Golden Venture." The unique paper folk art they created while in an American prison served as my inspiration to explore this medium. The paper sculpture I now create attempts to honor these immigrants' struggle for freedom. My art reflects the fragility as well as the strength of both paper and the universal struggle for freedom.
"We entrust our dreams to the fragility of paper…" said a Chinese immigrant.
Francene Levinson was born in Brooklyn, New York. She received her Bachelor of Arts and Education and a Master of Fine Arts from the City University of New York, Brooklyn College., She resides in Boca Raton, Florida. Her art career included 15 years as an art teacher: five years in New York and ten years in Florida. She earned an advanced ED.S degree, Summa Cum Laude, from Nova University, Davie, FL for SLD instruction. Many of her Florida art students were new residents in the U.S.A. and often shared their multi-cultural artistic experiences. The discovery of Chinese Zhe Zhi modular paper folding was such a cultural experience taught to Francene by one of her art students. Now, after researching the technique, working in this unique paper medium allows Ms. Levinson to create her own geometric forms and give a singular voice to the unity of many.
Ms. Levinson's paper sculptures have been juried into many exhibitions in Florida including: The Scripps Research Center: Nexus: Science + Art; The Rosen Gallery International Biennial; The Armory Art Center; The Von Liebig Art Center; The Artist's Guild Gallery; The 110 Art Gallery; The Cornell Museum; and The 2011 - 60th Annual - All Florida Exhibition and Competition at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. She has numerous first place awards and a great many other honors. More recently and importantly, her work has received the First Place Award at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, 2010 Biennial, in Boca Raton, Florida. Also, her portfolio of work has recently been awarded the Mastermind Art Grant for South Florida, Francene has lectured on the history and technique of Chinese Zhe Zhi paper sculpture to various professional art groups.

The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel is getting married this Sunday in New York City. And it's hardly a secret. The bride recently tweeted: "I'm getting married in two days and housing a pint of ice cream. No need for flat belly at this wedding."
Frankel, 39, who is seven months pregnant, is marrying her fiancé of five months, businessman Jason Hoppy. Never one to shy away from publicity, the wedding will be filmed for her upcoming Housewives spin-off, Bethenny's Getting Married, on Bravo. But don't expect her feuding costars to appear in pastel dresses. According to a source, only Alex McCord and Ramona Singer will attend.
How They MetFrankel met Hoppy met at Tenjune nightclub in Manhattan back in November 2008. "We were wasted at three o'clock in the morning," Frankel recalled in a recent interview. "He was very good looking and so I thought he must be some cheesy loser in a nightclub." He called her the next day for a dinner date and showed up in a "bad vest," she said. Eleven months later, they were engaged.
At the time, she said, "It feels great because I'm with the right person and we're positive and thrilled."
Frankel always imagined one of two wedding scenarios: either "something very sophisticated in Manhattan" or "very cheesy and very drunk and very luau-ish." While sophisticated Manhattan seems to have won out, there still may be a luau in her future. Frankel recently tweeted: "Started packing for honeymoon! A few days to go."
Wedding Before BabyAfter finding out she was pregnant last October, Frankel said she wanted to marry before becoming a mom. "Because of my age, it's not like I was going to meet a boy, and then be engaged for a year and then be married for a year before we started trying [to have kids]," she said at the time. "I'd be 45. [It's like] the Triple Crown. I got engaged, we got pregnant and we're gonna get married. It's a miracle."
And speaking of miracles, how have the couple managed to keep the sex of their baby, due in June, a secret? "[Jason] won't let me know because he knows I'll spill it," Frankel said. Still, a girl can tweet. She recently posted: "I had a dream it was a girl."
In fact, the bride has been tweeting constantly in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Topics range from her something blue, a Hanky Panky "bridal thong," to every pregnant woman's worst nightmare: "cankle alert," she tweeted. "My feet r swelling. They're like a half size bigger. Cucumbers & cantalope and aspar r a must for debloating."
Let's hope her bridal shoes have a little stretch!

A term for getting high on marijuana used in Vermont. Don't ask me why they add the word "up". I couldn't explain it any more than I could tell you how they thought of the expression cabbage night.
A: Man, I can't stay awake anymore. I am about to meet the table with my head.
B: Wow, you must be pretty stoned up.
A: *bonk*

Hi! My name is Cutie Pie Bodice
I am Domestic Longhair from Caldwell, ID
Nicknames: "Cutes Pie", "Pie", "Lardo"
Age: 12 years old
Gender: F
Coat: long haired
Education: She loves to play with her toy mouse on a string, and, if she really wants to, can jump REALLY high. Also, last year, Pie won 1st place in the state fair for a picture I took of her. She insisted that the blue ribbon be hung on her dining chair.
My favorite tricks and treats are: CP likes to climb in the Christmas tree and break ornaments. She is VERY good at annoying people. and She loves milk, and demands it every day to be served in a pink saucer.
Where I hang out: Cutes prefers either her hair infested leopard bed or any other place that she knows she is not supposed to be in.
My favorite grubs: Milk, milk, and more milk. (Ham, salmon, and turkey are also acceptable)
My pet peeves: She hates her back to be touched, and she complains constantly about EVERYTHING. It's her way, or the highway.
What I love about my owners: "She is so loving, although she has no notion of 'personal space bubbles', at all. She always mussing up my tail, and no she put me on that HORRID diet. But, although very annoying at times, she is a VERY good snuggler when it is cold.
My cat hobbies: Eat, drink milk, complain, eat some more, sleep all day, and have her "faithful servants" do everything she orders.
Pet motto: The milk is always tastier in somebody else's carton.

A black wild cat got dropped off at our farm and had kittens: Pudge, Whiteface, Sneezle, and a few others. Before we got Pudege spayed, however, she had kittens!!! CP was one of them, and she was the MOST talkative cat I had ever heard. So, after a previous incident with an unruly cat, CP became my new "inside cat".

+ We stayed one full week at a five star in brussels for business and nothing compared to the one night at RBC in Brugges. It really made the trip memorable.
+ Superb hotel- Staff could not have done any more to make us feel welcome. The standard of service was excellent. Location superb and decor and furnishings very comfortable. Breakfast buffet was excellent.Read more Will definitely stay there again and heartily recommend it.

This was an absolutely lovely hotel. The location is great, the service is warm (though a bit subdued) and very helpful. It's a quiet place, but not stuffy. I felt comfortable coming and going, but it also felt private, which was nice after a week traveling in Italy with 15 friends. The service at breakfast was incredible, the woman who served me was really special and made things to order and was just delightful. The rooms are gorgeous and everything was quiet. I was sad I only had one night. Brugge is a great place to visit and I will be back and will stay longer. I would most certainly stay here again and highly recommend it.
