One of the Most Lavish Book of Hours
The illuminated manuscript of Très Belles Heures is a true landmark of medieval book art and was created at the beginning of the 15th century by the most gifted artists of the time. 25 miniature pages display the unsurpassed splendour of book illumination which has made this manuscript so famous. It is no wonder that the Duke of Berry's inventory mentions it as "a most beautiful Book of Hours of Our Lady in artful letters".
Both text and picture fascinate through a most surprising, expensive decoration. Exuberant gold and colours of enormous luminosity were chosen to embellish the narrative scenes while most stunning pictures recount both religious and profane life of the Middle Ages.
Each of the miniature pages is composed of three elements. There is always one large miniature in the style of panel painting accompanied by a lavishly historiated initial and a figurative scene in the bottom margin. This conception conveys the overall impression that the manuscript obeys the laws of a most sophisticated artistic design.
A Colossal Work with an Adventurous History
Originally, the Très Belles Heures de Notre-Dame presented one of the most exquisite compositions ever seen in the history of manuscripts. For its beauty and expensive decoration, the work has always been highly appreciated as an artefact and collector's item since the Middle Ages. In the course of its eventful history the manuscript was split up into three parts.
In 1412 the Duke of Berry donated this colossal illuminated manuscript to his treasurer Robinet d'Estampes. He kept the Book of Hours for himself but the two other sections of the work, namely prayers dedicated to certain saints and a Missal, went to the House of Bavaria-Holland.
The Missal later found its way to Milan, the Prayers ended up in Turin. Unfortunately, the Turin Prayers have been lost forever: they burnt in 1904 when the whole library was destroyed by fire, with the exception of four leaves which are kept today in the Louvre in Paris (see page 40 of this catalogue). The Missal, today called The Turin-Milan Hours and preserved in Turin (see page 42), is also part of the publishing programme of Fine Art Facsimile Publishers Lucerne.
The original Book of Hours which Robinet had kept for himself remained as a family possession up to the 18th century. In the 19th century Alphonse, baron de Rothschild, acquired the manuscript, his heirs donated it to the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris in 1956.
A Unique Position in the History of Art
Following long years of scientific studies the author of the commentary volume made one surprising finding hitherto unknown: Obviously all painters who participated in the decoration of the manuscript were panel painters.
Each individual miniature of the manuscript is a work of art in its own right, a facet of the overwhelming richness of book illumination which not only comprised painters of the capital, Paris, but also painters from Flanders.
The co-operation between such different illuminators as the Master of the Parement de Narbonne with his monumental art, the Master of the Holy Spirit with his most vivid illustrations and finally the Master of John the Baptist with his soft tones, all add to the charm of this sumptuous manuscript. Furthermore, two miniatures pages are ascribed to the Limburg brothers, outstanding painters of their time. Free from the predefined composition principles of medieval book workshops, the artists were mainly fired by their own ideas and conceptions.
The unique design of borders and architecture in this for art historians important work is presumably the result of the first and the last attempt made by artists in this direction. After 1412 the famous Limburg brothers made their own additions to this perfect manuscript by contributing the last two illustrations in their well-known unsurpassed style.
The Fine Art Facsimile Edition
All 252 pages in the format of 28 x 20 cm have been reproduced in full accordance with the original. The miniatures are decorated with gold leaf and burnished gold. Texts and historiated initials, ornamental bands and ornaments are rendered faithfully.
The lavish red kidskin binding is richly tooled in gold and decorated with a coat-of-arms. The volume is gilt-edged on three sides. The leaves were sewn by hand onto six cords.
The Commentary Volume
The scientific commentary serves as a key to understanding the Très Belles Heures de Notre-Dame and provides a comprehensive and easily readable commentary on the miniatures. It also describes the history of the Book of Hours, its artists and the person for whom it was made.
Documentation Kit
A documentation folder containing two full-sized leaves from the facsimile edition and an illustrated 12-page information brochure is available for information upon request.

Pipeline and energy company Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (UNKNOWN: KMP.DL ) has announced that Kinder Morgan Canada Terminals has agreed to long-term contracts to support the construction of 1.2 million barrels of additional storage capacity at Trans Mountain Pipeline's Edmonton terminal in Alberta, Canada.
The construction of this phase, which will cost $112 million, will begin in the spring and is expected to finish in late 2014. Earlier construction for 3.6 million barrels of storage capacity is already under way, and KMEP expects the storage to come into service by later this year. Total capital investment on the two phases totaling 4.8 million barrels of storage is estimated at $420 million.
Total capacity at the terminal will be 9.4 million barrels after all construction is completed, according to the company.
Kinder Morgan Canada Terminals Vice President Bill Henderson explained the construction in a press release, saying, "The new tanks further demonstrate the strategic importance of Trans Mountain's Edmonton hub and the role it will play in staging Western Canadian crude oil production into export markets, including West Coast markets served by Trans Mountain Pipeline."

Rob Corddry and Jeff Garlin land ABC pilot leads
Rob Corddry and Jeff Garlin have been fixtures of tube comedy for years, and now they're both set to star in their own ABC comedy pilots.
First, Corddry has inked a deal to play the lead in ABC's "Spy." The single-camera comedy pilot finds a hapless dad named Tim (Corddry) accidentally signing up for a secret agent gig in an attempt to impress his intelligent and well put-together son.
The pilot is based on the 2011 British comedy, in which Darren Boyd played the lead. The original's creator, Simeon Goulden, is writing the U.S. version, which will be produced by ABC Studios and Hat Trick Prods., according to Deadline.
Meanwhile, "Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Jeff Garlin and "Bridesmaids" star Wendi McLendon-Covey will appear in ABC's single-camera comedy pilot "How the Hell Am I Normal."
"Normal" is set in the 1980s and focuses on a pair of loud, loutish parents (McLendon-Covey, Garlin) who have three "eccentric" kids whom they coddle and spoil, reports Deadline.
In her TV debut, former "X Factor" contestant Orrantia will play their daughter Erica, a rebellious teen who torments her younger brother.
The pilot was written by Adam F. Goldberg ("Breaking In") and to be directed by Seth Gordon ("The King of Kong").
Corddry, perhaps best known for Adult Swim's "Childrens Hospital," will soon be seen on the big screen in "Warm Bodies."

Symposium Offers an Opportunity to Share Research Findings
Josh Fixelle, a former Penn State Abington student who is completing his degree at University Park, shared his research findings on asteriod deflection that he did along with Mikhail Kagan, a faculty member in physics and astronomy at Abington.
11/17/2010 —Asteroid deflection, one and two-dimensional electrostatic interaction of two charged lines, and the behavioral responses of mosquito larvae to chemicals in the environment were just a few of the topics presented during the fourth Smith Undergraduate Science Research Symposium (SUSR10) on Nov. 6 at Penn State York. Science students and faculty from the 19 commonwealth campuses were invited to participate and attend the SUSR10.
In addition to formal presentations, attendees also had the opportunity to review poster exhibits and talk with students and faculty about their research during the daylong event. Faculty projects addressing research issues at all levels (undergraduate, graduate, and beyond) were also included in the non-refereed poster presentations. The symposium proceedings included the refereed and non-refereed abstracts and articles. Undergraduate research projects conducted by students that are supervised by faculty or projects investigated by faculty with assistance of students are part of the refereed symposium proceedings publication.
A symposium featuring undergraduate science research was the idea of Haiduke Sarafian, Ph.D., John T. and Paige S. Smith Professor of Science and professor of physics at Penn State York, back in 2002 and was supported by the campus. The symposium is held every other year and is free for participants. Symposiums were held in October 2002 and 2006, and November 2008.
"This is an important event and Dr. Sarafian and this campus are to be commended for providing this opportunity to showcase undergraduate research in science," said Norman Freed, Ph.D., associate dean, Eberly College of Science, The Pennsylvania State University, who attended the symposium.
At the conclusion of the symposium, attendees were taken on a tour of the campus's new science facility, the Edward M. Elias Science Building, which opened in May. The 15,000-square foot facility contains two chemistry labs, one biology lab, a general purpose classroom, and chemistry and
biology research spaces. Additionally, members of the biology and chemistry faculty have their offices in the building. Faculty offices are primarily located on the lower level of the building.
The symposium is named to honor benefactor and friends, John T. Smith and the late Paige S. Smith. Both graduates of Penn State, they established a scholarship in their name as well as the John T. and Paige S. Smith Professorship in Science at the campus. In addition to their donations to York, the Smiths have supported the colleges of agriculture and health and human development, as well as athletics.
For more information on the symposium, please contact Haiduke Sarafian, Ph.D., John T. and Paige S. Smith Professor of Science and chair of the symposium committee, at (717) 771-4093 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Spring Training: Duke pitches with punch
Holds Toronto scoreless with three crisp inningsMarch 7, 2008 10:00 AM
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Jeff Andrews, the Pirates' pitching coach, had been working on refining some elements to Zach Duke's delivery in recent days, from a higher leg kick to a more consistent release point to a steadier rhythm.
But the goal was far less mechanical than mental, as Andrews' message to Duke has been consistent all spring ...
More oomph.
More zip.
More purpose to the pitches.
Yesterday, in the Pirates' 8-7 upending of the Toronto Blue Jays at McKechnie Field, it is safe to say Duke made a large leap in that direction: In three scoreless innings, he allowed one hit -- a Rod Barajas double -- walked none, struck out two and, most impressive, threw 27 of 36 pitches for strikes.
That included seven consecutive strikes out of the chute and, by the time he was done, a back-door curveball that froze Vernon Wells for strike three and a fastball he blew by Sal Fasano's bat for another.
"Duke was sharp," manager John Russell said. "You could really see the difference. The ball was down, with more life to it."
Which is to say there was oomph, zip and purpose all around, quite unlike Duke's spring debut Saturday against Cincinnati in which the Reds rang up five runs and five hits, including long home runs by Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn.
"It was like sitting in a rocking chair back there for me," catcher Ryan Doumit said. "His control was great with all four pitches, he was ahead in the count to everyone and ... hey, that's the Zach Duke I'm used to seeing. This should be a huge confidence boost for him."
That will be hard to read. Duke has kept a low profile this spring, not talking or joking much, apparently intense in his focus.
Still, a sigh of relief seemed somewhat palpable on this day.
"I made some good pitches today, that's for sure," Duke said. "It felt good. It felt very natural. I was in a good rhythm."
He raised his eyebrows.
"It felt like it should."
Andrews, true to his goal, sounded most appreciative of the intangibles.
He has been preaching to Duke, his former pupil in the Pirates' system, to set aside those golden but perhaps burdensome memories of 2005 -- when he was 8-2 with a 1.81 ERA as a 21-year-old -- just as much as those of the past two years, when he went a combined 13-23 with a 4.82 ERA and .341 opponents' batting average.
As Andrews told Duke once over the winter, "Nobody expects you to be a 1.81, but nobody expects a 5.81, either. A consistent middle ground would be just fantastic."
And that will be achieved, Andrews has further preached, by having some fun.
"I want Zach first of all to start enjoying pitching again. I want him to crave it," Andrews said. "All the mechanical and delivery issues, they're going to contribute to the comfort level. But there's nothing better than to see him like he was out there today, with that aggressiveness."
When Duke's three innings were finished with a 1-2-3, eight-pitch fifth, Andrews approached him in the dugout and, as he recalled, "I asked Zach, 'Do you want to go back out there?' He came back, 'I want to throw eight today.' To hear him say that ... that's the first step."
The next step, naturally, will be showing that yesterday, and not Saturday, will become the norm.
If Duke does that, he is a lock to retain his spot in the rotation.
If not ...
General manager Neal Huntington surprised some observers when, in December, he declared Duke one of the Pirates' five starters. But, as players began to convene in Pirate City, Huntington clarified to Duke that the spot was his ... to lose.
And now, since Grapefruit League action began last week, management has clearly displayed that another left-hander, waiver claim Phil Dumatrait, could take that spot should Duke falter.
"As we've told Zach and Ronny, those are their jobs to keep," Huntington said yesterday, also referring to catcher Ronny Paulino, who could be outdueled by Doumit. "That's still the case with Zach. If he goes out and does the things he's capable of, then we've got to find a different spot for Dumatrait. If Zach struggles or has a series of not-so-good outings, then, sure, it becomes an open situation."
Huntington paused.
"But again, the job is Zach's. We don't want to overreact to one early outing."
Duke maintained even in December that he would not assume a spot being handed to him, and that position has not changed.
"There are lots of guys nipping at my heels, and my job is the one that's up for taking," he said. "But I've prepared myself to pitch at the highest level I can, and I feel like I'm right on track."
He was on another track when he finished yesterday.
All pitchers are required to run a set number of laps on the outfield warning track after coming out of the game, with a conditioning coordinator accompanying them for pacing. Duke and his coordinator moved in lock step until the final 50 yards, when Duke went into a full sprint to pull away.

Fort Huachuca, AZ. - Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation and Sierra Cycles hit the pavement Saturday to present the "Bikes and Bands" Street Fair. On Hatfield Street between Irwin and Bissel, Families visited bike and all-terrain vehicle displays, biker and sports gears vendors and free children's activities.
The fair's main attraction was the "Brigade FMX World Wide Extreme Motorsports" featuring the "Globe of Death and BMX Freestyle Jumping." Every hour, Families watched stunt bikers and motorcyclists perform aerial tricks off a bike ramp and inside a spherical metal cage. Live entertainment also included music by the Military Intelligence Corps Band, "Counter Intelligence."
According to James Thomas, FMWR special event coordinator, while the street fair is open to the entire Fort Huachuca community, the event's targeted audience is the military student population on post.
"The purpose of holding this [event] close to students is to give them something to do," Thomas said.
Besides bringing military students and Families together with bikes, music and child-friendly activities such as a climbing wall, jumping castles, paintball and batting cages, the fair kicked off registration for "Toy Under the Tree." Sponsored by FMWR and Sierra Cycles, Family and FMWR patrons age 18 and over registered to win a 2013 Kawasaki KLX 140 ADF dirt bike.
Registration will continue at upcoming FMWR sponsored events and at Sierra Cycles through Dec. 10. The winner will be announced at this year's Night of Extraordinary Lights in Dec. 13-14. For more information on Toy Under the Tree, call 533.5642.

Spending on mobile advertising in the U.S. will reach $877.2 million this year, up 138 percent from the $368 million spent in 2009, according to estimates from market intelligence firm IDC.
Despite the hype surrounding the rivalry between Google and Apple in the mobile ad space, the former attracted the majority of spending through the channel, thanks primarily to its offerings in the mobile search space. Google attracted 59 percent of overall mobile ad spend, IDC estimates, compared with a market share of 8.4 percent for Apple, and 6.8 percent for third place provider Millennial Media.

Worlds Apart but Not Strangers: Holocaust Education and Indian Education for All
July 17-22
Missoula, MT
Thanks to partnership with The Memorial Library and the National Writing Project, there is no fee for the workshop.
OPI renewal credits available.
The institute, Worlds Apart but Not Strangers: Holocaust Education and Indian Education for All, is running from July 17-July 22. One of five satellite seminars around the country sponsored by the Holocaust Memorial Library and the National Writing Project, this institute is designed for individuals who currently teach or are interested in teaching the Nazi Holocaust and would like to discover ways to link Holocaust education and Indian Education for All. Relevant to teachers in public or private schools, grades 4-12 as well as college and university faculty, the purpose of the course is to provide novice and experienced teachers with knowledge, pedagogy and attitudes about Holocaust education and Indian Education for All, using literacy, and especially writing, as tools to drive inquiry. The institute will focus on past history, including the Nazi Holocaust and the impact of U.S. policies on Native peoples of our nation. Our lens will then turn to the present, as we consider the roles (target, perpetrator, ally, bystander) people choose in their daily interactions with each other as well as the stereotypes and prejudice affecting our schools and our communities today. The DVD Not in Our Town ends with the narrator's observation, "Today we can say not in our town, but tomorrow we might be able to say not in our country." This satellite seminar aims to help teachers move one step closer to that reality.
There is more information online at http://www.cas.umt.edu/english/mwp/worlds_apart.cfm. You can also contact MWP at 243-4680 or via email at email@example.com. If you receive this email, we are not requiring that you apply but do need a commitment by April 1st if you plan to participate in this incredible opportunity.

We're delighted that you have taken the time to visit our website. We hope it helps introduce ourselves to you. Our name, Grace Bible Church, defines who we are and what we are all about.
Grace is central. The awesome truth that God offers something good that we do not deserve lies at the very heart of His good news for us. God graciously offers His free gift of forgiveness to all who repent & believe in Jesus Christ. You'll find that His grace is the common thread that runs through every ministry and expression of worship here.
The Bible is God's chosen means to disclose His character to us and how He wants us to live. Our church family believes the Bible should be read, studied, and followed. Every week we attempt to learn it and to live it.

These people are God's means in the world today to disseminate His truth and spread His gracious message. We are a body, an assembly, called to worship God and minister to others. Our church consists of people whom God desires to use in a variety of ways to make more and better followers of Jesus Christ.

Do pray for Neil and Sue as they are baptised and married this evening at St Albans.
Also remember me. This is my first adult baptism, having conducted an infant baptism already. At least I am not worrying about dropping the baptismal candidate this time!
Seeking your prayers
Father Peter
- Antony-Paul - 28-04-2010
Dear Father Peter,
I shall mention Neil and Sue in my prayers today - may God bless them and be with them always in their marriage.
And also I shall mention you, may He bless you as you do His work of Baptism and Matrimony for the first time.
As light relief, Father, my parents were also the first marriage by the priest. He got in a muddle and married my Mum to her wife and my Dad to his husband! I'm sure God enjoys such demonstrations of our humanity, but doubtless you will have no such difficulties.
- John Charmley - 28-04-2010
My prayers for all of you.
In Christ,

Thanks for all your prayers! We are very happy to report that we are now fully fledged members of the BOC, and very much looking forward to our 1st Communion on Sunday!
We are also delighted to confirm that our Fr Peter neither dropped us nor muddled his words, in fact, you'd have thought this sort of thing was a weekly occurence for him!!!
In Christ,

The last week of June proved that there are scores of ways to shine as a WWE Superstar.
Dolph Ziggler did it in defeat, Dean Ambrose did it with delirium, Adrian Neville did it in opposition to gravity and Vickie Guerrero did it covered in muck.
That quartet reminded us that the key to WWE success is maximizing one's time on screen. There are no truly bad parts, even if one puts a performer face-down in a pool of brown goop.
Repetitive booking and some of the worst commentary WWE fans have ever heard provided the week's low points.
If Bad News Barrett's injury turns out be serious, add that to the worst of the week as well. However, his latest Intercontinental Championship was the kind of great match fans are hoping to see unfold each time the bell rings.

The conspiracy talk has quieted a bit since the Vols shot 35 free throws Wednesday night vs. South Carolina. Only twice this season has the Big Orange attempted more foul shots - shooting 40 in Game 2 and 37 in Game 11. Each time the opponent was Belmont.
Junior wing Scotty Hopson, who shot 7 free throws vs. South Carolina, surmised that Tennessee's increase in foul shots can be traced to a change in approach.
"We started off at beginning of the season getting to the line a whole lot," he said, "but we got away from attack mode and being aggressive. It's good to see us getting back to it."
For Tennessee fans, it was especially good to see Hopson getting back to attack mode. The Vols are 15-4 this season when he scores 15 points or more. His 23-point performance against South Carolina may have been his most aggressive of the season.
"Definitely there were some gaps in the defense that I felt I could take advantage of," he said. "But also, it was me having the mindset of getting to the basket at all costs. It was my will to get to the rim and finish plays."
Melvin Goins, who shot 8 free throws Wednesday night, agreed that the dramatic increase in free throws reflects an attitude adjustment among the Vols.
"We were more aggressive - going at the rim and going at their defense where they were weak," the senior point guard said.
Now that the Vols are shooting free throws again, their outlook would be even brighter if they would start making free throws again. They sank a paltry 60 percent (21 of 35) vs. Carolina. For the season they are shooting just 67.5 percent from the line, ranking eighth among the 12 SEC teams in that category.
Hopson qualifies as something of an expert on foul shooting, having raised his free-throw percentage from 58.8 percent last season to 73.1 this season.
"There is a mindset and a conscious effort to be confident when you get to the line," he said. "I think a lot of times guys are second-guessing theirself and we might not be shooting the same way at all times. It's a confidence thing to step up to the line and know you can make it."

The Coming Curse by ~MistaBobby is an excellent wallpaper that I am currently using. Exceptionally executed, the figure of the Reaper stands alone, waiting for his reign of destruction. A great plague is coming. Beware. ( Featured by dakth )
When I first looked at this, I thought death was standing there and behind the mist was the river Styx and perhaps he's waiting for the ferry to come take his next victim to see Minos at the structure on the other side. But after reading the description under the dd, I now think of the bubonic plague and how the rich locked themselves away from the plague. Death is waiting for them to come out for food or supplies so he can infect them. This piece can be seen in do many different aspects, and with true art, meaning is limitless. Amazing, beautiful work. I'm impressed
i love the grim reper dont u? F)

Prison doors open in Burma
The latest release of 200 political prisoners in Burma is a step forward for human rights.
Three political prisoners - comedian Zarganar, labour rights activist Su Su Nway and 2007 Saffron Revolution demonstrator Zaw Htet Ko Ko - were released in the latest prisoner amnesty after years of tireless campaigning by Amnesty International supporters worldwide.
As Aung San Suu Kyi said: the release of all political prisoners is an important step forward for human rights in Burma. And while their freedom is certainly a cause for celebration, many hundreds still remain remain behind bars in the country's grim prisons - many simply for exercising their rights to peaceful protest and freedom of expression.
Political prisoners in Burma are often held under vague laws used frequently by the government to criminalise peaceful political dissent. Many were tortured during their initial interrogation and detention, and are still at risk of punishment at the hands of prison officers.
Zarganar, who was jailed in 2008, is just one example of where these vague laws have been used to stifle dissent. In the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis and the unfolding humanitarian crisis, he publicly criticised the government for their blocking of humanitarian aid.
Zarganar was sentenced to a total of 59 years for 'crimes' such as disrespecting the government, illegal assembly, defaming religion and illegally using video communications. When he spoke to the UK's BBC upon his release, he expressed his unhappiness that many of his friends could not join him.
Su Su Nway was sentenced for eight and a half years for taking part in anti-government protests against rising fuel and commodity prices in August 2007.
This latest round of releases does little to set apart this prisoner amnesty from those conducted under Burma's former military regime. Prisoners of conscience - people who've been detailed solely for peacefully exercising their rights - still make up the majority of political prisoners jailed.
Does the release of 200 prisoners represent real change in Burma? It's a minimum first step. This victory should inspire the international community to continue campaigning for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners in Burma.

LSU Coach Paul Mainieri said he felt his team arrived after Saturday night's victory against
The LSU bullpen, a weak point last season, allowed one run in 8 2/3 innings all weekend, the equivalent of a game as LSU lowered it's team ERA to 3.04. Left hander Chris Cotton pitched a key role in all three victories, both Nicks - Rumbelow and Goody - were exceptional, and Joey Bourgeois showed he has recovered from Tommy John surgery with two perfect innings for the Sunday victory. It's a big reason LSU was named national pitching staff of the week by insidepitching.com.
LSU's starting pitching in solid hands and Kurt McCune moving to the starting rotation this weekend in place of Nola. With this week's series against
HITTING MACHINE: Raph Rhymes collected seven hits in 12 at bats last weekend, including his first home run. But he also did his job as cleanup hitter with six RBI. Five of his seven hits knocked in runs and he earned SEC Player of the Week honors. He was 10 for 17 for the week, a .588 avewrage. The Tigers need to get better production from the rest of the lineup.
BOTTOMED OUT: The bottom third of LSU's batting order had a rough weekend, although it produced the winning run on Sunday for the sweep. Tyler Hanover, Beau Didier and Jared Foster held those spots and including pinch hit appearances by Casey Yocom and Tyler Moore, the 7-8-9 positions were two for 33 with 13 strikeouts until the final inning.
Didier may have seen his last start. Besides a walk and one good swing, he was zero for six with two strikeouts and is now batting .167. Look for freshman Tyler Moore to move into the left-handed DH role with Alex Edward in the right hander role.
Foster will stay in the lineup despite his .195 batting average. He's the only player left athletic enough to play center field, except for Arby Fields, who might be the biggest disappointment this season. Fields, a junior college transfer, is athletic but has struggled at the plate and on the base paths. Foster has never played center field and is still adjusting. He misplayed one ball on Friday but overall has done a decent job, Mainieri said.
FLASHING LEATHER: LSU's defense was nearly impeccable. The Tigers made one error in the three games and came up with several nice plays Sunday to support the pitching. Austin Nola made a brilliant play on a grounder up the middle, Rhymes made a diving catch in left field coming in and
HIDDEN STAT: It's not an official statistic but LSU probably has the worst grounded-into-double-plays ratio in the SEC. The Tigers have turned only seven thus far and opponents have turned 20.

I bought the Pierre Fitch dick recently, and I'm looking for tips on how best to clean it, more specifically how to remove undesirable odours.
It's a long dildo, it goes in deep, and to be blunt it encountered poop. I tried the suggested method of washing it with antibacterial handsoap and water, I even tried spraying on specialist sex toy cleaner, but to no avail, the odour still lingers.
Does anyone know some safe ways I can clean it, which will remove the odour but not damage it in any way? Out of curiosity, is it dishwasher safe?
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming the coconut milk gets added in step 2 – correct? Would it work as well with rice or almond milk instead? I don't have coconut milk.

February 28, 2000
WOODINVILLE--Chief Steve Smith of the Woodinville Fire & Life Safety District gave a financial breakdown of the fire district's current budget at the City Council's Feb. 22 study session.
Councilmember Bob Miller had requested the report to answer charges of irresponsible fire district spending raised by Fire Commissioner Dave Callon at the Council's Feb. 7 meeting.
The commission majority's greatest concern was that three years of deficit spending, from the lower tax rates in the 1997-99 budgets, drained their reserve fund from the target range of $4.5-5 million to only $2.7 million by the end of 1999, said Smith. Miller said the district had not had a deficit spending year since the early '80s, which resulted in taking out a loan.
"The reserve fund philosophy, established by the fire commission in the '80s, is that paying for equipment and facility expenses with the interest gained from the reserves is more fiscally responsible than having to hold emergency tax levies or taking out loans," said Smith.
The interest on $3.9 million from the 1998 reserve was $200,000, while the interest on $2.7 million from the 1999 reserve was only $110,000. The lower tax rates led to deficit spending of $250,000 in 1997, $426,000 in 1998 and $500,000 in 1999, said Smith. That all came out of the reserve fund.
"It took several years of sacrificing by the district to get those reserves up close to $4 million," said Miller, a fire commissioner and Chairman during the late '80s and early '90s.
In an interview last week, Callon said he is the only commissioner left from the previous board majority that lowered taxes. During the last two years, a different majority elected to the Fire Commission has gradually raised taxes to their former level (of $1.50 per $1,000).
This year, $580,000 will go back in reserve. But since facility expenses are not covered by the budget, $1 million of the reserve will go into building the new downtown fire station, plus $150,000 to finish last year's repairs at two stations. That will leave around $2.3 million in reserve at the end of 2000, said Smith, well below the ideal range of $4-5 million.
The district is looking at a 10-year timetable for replacing the reserves, partly because 82 percent of their budget goes to employee payroll and benefits, he said. I-695 also plays a role in the slow recovery.
"Our attorney advised us that, under I-695, we will only be able to ask for the same revenues next year as this year, plus new construction revenue," Smith said. "We won't be in financial crisis in the foreseeable future. If we had stayed at the previous budget request level ($1.32 per $1,000), we would definitely be in trouble. But the Board corrected that deficit spending level at last October's budget hearing."
The Council thanked Smith for providing them with a clearer perspective than they had before.
"I'm glad to see the reserves will be building back up, engines will be replaced, and that we'll retain a Class-3 rating, which saves insurance costs," said Miller. "Please thank the other Fire Commissioners for their fiscal responsibility." The "Class-3" rating comes from a state survey of all Washington fire districts to give them a fire insurance rating, on a descending 1-10 scale of fire protection.
Smith said the district needs to hire three firefighters this year to staff an aid unit at the headquarters fire station, due to the rapid increase from that area, including downtown Woodinville. He also cited the fact that 14 percent of the headquarter station's 1999 aid calls had to be answered by the Bothell Fire Department.
The district is currently exploring the possibility of a co-purchase and co-staff of an $800,000 ladder truck and its personnel costs with Bothell, as one cost-cutting measure, said Smith.

See Oyster.com's hotel review. 960 1280
Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson HoleSet in a wildlife refuge more than 700 feet above the Jackson Valley, the Spring Creek Ranch is a great choice -- during all seasons -- for an outdoor getaway.

See Oyster.com's hotel review. 960 1280
Villa la Estancia, Los CabosVilla la Estancia is the high-end hotel in a cluster of 3 sister resorts, and offers a nice reprieve from the crazy, party hotels that Los Cabos is known for -- the grounds are pristine, the pool isn't teeming with underage partiers, and the rooms are large. Some rooms look out over the crystal-clear ocean toward Land's End, a rock formation located right where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet. Seals and sea lions can be seen sunbathing in the area. See Oyster.com's hotel review. 960 1280
Arenal Kioro Suites and Spa, Costa RicaOne of Costa Rica's most tranquil resorts, the Arenal Kioro Suites and Spa takes full advantage of its natural setting near Arenal Volcano. The rooms, restaurants and pool all offer gorgeous views of the volcano, which is considered one of the most active in the world, with lava flows daily. However, fret not; seismologists say the activity is calming down, making it less likely to cause significant damage anytime in the near future. See Oyster.com's hotel review. 960 1280
Resort at Squaw Creek, Lake TahoeThe Resort at Squaw Creek is one of the largest in California's Squaw Valley, an area that attracts about 600,000 skiers per season. A ski lift by the hotel transports skiers and hikers to the slopes year-round, and during the summer the resort's plunge pool and waterslide, and golf course open. Rooms are attractive with homey décor, and many feature gas fireplace and gorgeous mountain views. See Oyster.com's hotel review. 960 1280
Ambassade Hotel, AmsterdamAt the boutique Ambassade Hotel, no 2 rooms are the same, yet all feature classic Louis XVI-inspired décor and free Wi-Fi. Some have charming features such as beamed, vaulted ceilings and crystal chandeliers, but our favorites are those with views overlooking Amsterdam's famous canals, which in total span over 62 miles.

Eight high-schoolers headed to Governor's School this summer
By Phyllis Moore
Published in News on April 21, 2011 1:46 PM
Eight Wayne County high school students have been accepted to attend the 2011 Governor's School of North Carolina sessions this summer. Governor's School, founded in 1963 by former Gov. Terry Sanford, is the oldest statewide summer residential program for...

To the Editor:
A recent Times article mentioned how county officials had made a deal with the unions involved in the Gloucester County Jail closure to drop a lawsuit over the loss of corrections officers' jobs.
The article cites county officials as saying that the State of New Jersey would pay $4.5 million to offer early retirement packages to the longest-serving officers in the state retirement system.
It is very nice for the state to spend other people's money, which will end up coming out of our wallets, simply because the county cannot pay its bills and has too much debt.
A big part of the problem lies squarely on past county freeholders who gave away the store to labor unions and their friends — in order to get political contributions and "buy" votes.
County Administrator Chad Bruner is paid almost $25,000 more a year than the maximum $175,000 governor's salary. Why? Bruner does not have 10 percent of the responsibility the governor has.
We recently found out that some of our corrections officers receive salaries plus overtime of up to $100,000, much more than in some surrounding counties. It seems to me the freeholders need to review salary scales for both union and non-union employees. They are pricing themselves out of being able to run an effective government.
In addition, the county debt costs far too much in principal and interest.
Our countywide emergency medical service is wonderful, but it runs at a deficit based on insurance reimbursement and state support. Additionally, the county EMS system has no volunteers who work for free, as it used to be.
I am glad that we have the opportunity to keep two Republican freeholder seats at the November election. The GOP candidates are Ed Selb and incumbent Vince Nestore. Someone has to keep an eye on the tax-and-spend Democrats, who control the board 5-2.

Camera shootout: Xperia Z1 vs Galaxy S4 vs G2 vs iPhone 5 vs One
0. phoneArena 09 Sep 2013, 04:40 posted on
The 20.7-megapixel camera of the Sony Xperia Z1 sure is a topic of intense interest right now, and while we realize that it's not the wisest of things to compare a prototype unit to finished products, we just couldn't stop ourselves from taking a few test photos to compare against some of the handset's biggest rivals...

ok again i have to do this
so anyone who is looking for Z1 camera comparison against Lumia 1020
and see how Z1 camera is busting Lumia 1020 in daylight and night both
and sorry for posting again
47. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
i don't think you can really rely on that site's author. he reviewed htc one and he said it has the best camera for a smartphone. obviously, that's just incorrect.
it could only be coincidental that he's showcasing z1's "better" photos since he probably does not like lumias.
49. wicpromd (Posts: 266; Member since: 20 Aug 2013)
you want to see comparisons from different website??
ok i have more
51. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
no need to convince me. we see each other on esato☺ we're on the same side.
52. wicpromd (Posts: 266; Member since: 20 Aug 2013)
yup right
but for here on this PA comparison Z1 is looking nice now
they made it correct
77. shikroi (Posts: 187; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
These comparisons from the different website show no such thing.
53. boosook (Posts: 1437; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
I prefer Lumia's pictures... they're sharper, though both phones have flaws.
56. wicpromd (Posts: 266; Member since: 20 Aug 2013)
in that comparison Z1 is already better than Lumia 1020
but lets wait for more comparisons

yes of course, that 5mp is OVERSAMPLED, and has very big pixels, and according to nokia it is higher quality than the full res shots and also has less noise. that 5mp should\'ve beated the G2 easily. and don\'t forget it\'s sensor is 3 times bigger than the G2.

PA, the images "One touch listening" zoomed, is not the same as the "One touch listening" full picture. As you zoom the full picture you will achieve a different result. Why is that?

good. so it was a swap between the z1 and htc1. it's sony's fault after all. why are they using that "one" name.☻☻☻

i was trying to joke☺ my bad. i\'m a poor comedian.

to be honest, all the phones picture quality looks good and you wont really notice the difference in real life unless you compare pictures side by side every time you take a picture.

I don't know why but something tells me that these camera comparisons always feel altered.... I have the HTC One and my pictures never come out that dark. Either the author can take a photograph correctly (there are people out there who cant) or pictures are doctored in some fashion.
80. kurtdean99 (Posts: 79; Member since: 02 Jun 2013)
For those people who is upset about xperia z1 not having IOS. I\'ve seen videos from z1 and it\'s stable and not shaky and I\'ve seen low light sample from xperia z1 and it looks incredible and even better than 1020 with OIS. Why does z1 needs OIS again?
82. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
So now PA compares the z1 cam with everything else.
85. lucid.brat (unregistered)
buddy different site tells different story....according to techradar lumia is best nd z1 fits in between htc nd lumia 1020 so dont bother other site only take review of ur fav site

91. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
Open apology to all. Having now seen a live unit and played with it, there is only one word to describe this phone....Amazing! The viewing angles are amazing, the pictures are amazing, build quality and feel of the phone is amazing. I thought I would pass due to size but seeing it and holding it in the metal, I have had a change of mind and heart and this phone is a must have and it has the benefit of me being able to put a 64gb memory card in the phone!
Forget the trolls and haters, it is all about the Z1. Oh yes, the screen is superb and the colours simply pop out at you! Good job Sony!!
92. juandante (Posts: 463; Member since: 23 Apr 2013)
Actually I'm shocked to see that the Z1 is better than the 1020. But with a dedicated Photo DSP, Android, and a sensor/lense coming directly from a standalone camera I understand. Not to mention it is feature rich phone and the 1020 takes 2-4 secs to reccord pictures which is very retarded and WP.

I think my mom is always waiting for me to develop the nurturing and maternal qualities and skills she possesses. Nobody knew I could cook until I lived on my own, even then, my parents may have been disappointed in how these traits manifest. Once, I came home for a visit and offered to make dinner for the family, cooking the meat separately in case of vegetarians — there are no vegetarians in my family.

A t the end of March, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued rejections in three broad patents relating to embryonic stem cells (ESC) that have been the center of attention for the scientific and legal communities. The patents, owned by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), were challenged in July 2006 by the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights and the Public Patent Foundation, with supporting declarations from a leading stem cell research scientist. Petitioners contend that the methods for deriving ESC were essentially taught in papers published prior to the filing of applications for the WARF patents.
Last year, the European Patent Office (EPO) also rejected WARF's European patent claims, which are now on appeal. Unlike the rejections made by the USPTO, the EPO's rejection was made on "moral grounds," reflecting a divide among EU countries that support hESC research and those which do not. A final decision by the EPO isn't expected for several years.
In the U.S., the WARF patents were issued in 1998, 2001, and 2006 for studies done by University of Wisconsin scientist James Thomson, Ph.D. The patent claims cover not only methods for obtaining stem cells from fertilized embryos but also the ESC themselves. Based on these three patents, all researchers working with hESC for "commercial purposes" in the U.S.must pay a license fee to WARF.
WARF has come under extensive criticism from the stem cell community for its insistence on license terms that many see as sufficiently onerous to slow the progress of ESC research. In response, WARF has established a reduced royalty rate for nonprofit organizations and offers licensees training in ESC techniques. Even so, a number of organizations have chosen to conduct research programs outside of the U.S., a decision attributed by some as a desire to avoid the reach of the WARF patents.
Part of the concern relates to license limitations requiring any work done for a commercial purpose, including sponsored research by a nonprofit entity, be done under a royalty-bearing license. While such agreements are not unusual, WARF's definition of commercial purpose has drawn fire from the scientific community. For example, at a conference in late 2006, a WARF representative remarked that it might consider distribution of research funds by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to be commercial activity requiring a license.
Although CIRM does not conduct or directly control ESC research, WARF pointed to its status as an independent agency of the state as making it more than a mere conduit for California's $3 billion in stem cell research funds.
Other states with stem cell research funds became alarmed that funds intended to support their local research communities could be diverted to WARF from grants with commercial potential. Critics characterized the move against CIRM as double dipping, deriving license revenues from the initial research funding stream and from the commercialization of research products.
By January, WARF had withdrawn its claim to CIRM grant funds, but to many WARF's asserted status as an entity that uses its patents primarily for the public good had been tarnished.
Petitioners filed their reexamination request as public comment on WARF's U.S. patent position became increasingly negative. Reexamination at the USPTO is a procedure by which it considers whether patent claims should have been granted in view of prior art not considered before the claims were initially granted or prior art already on the record that was not considered fully.
Reexamination of the WARF ESC patents was requested on the basis of three papers published between 1982 and 1990 that detailed a process for deriving embryonic stem cells from nonprimate mammals. Two of the papers were not considered at all by the examiner who first allowed WARF's patent claims, while the third was only considered during prosecution of one of the patents.
In addition, Jeanne Loring, Ph.D., of the Burnham Institute, a well-respected and world-renowned stem cell research scientist, submitted a statement that she and others in the field regarded the nonprimate ESC derivation papers as making derivation of primate ESC possible. She also provided laboratory records to the USPTO evidencing efforts to derive primate ESC using the methods described in the nonprimate papers before the WARF patent applications claiming those methods as applied to primate cells were filed.
At least initially, the USPTO appears to have agreed with the petitioners' argument that the prior art, including the nonprimate ESC derivation papers, suggested a method that could, as demonstrated by Dr. Loring's research, be so readily applied to primate cells as to render WARF's patent claims obviously unpatentable.
While an initial rejection of the claims by the USPTO in any patent application is not uncommon, a situation where the examiner is clearly second guessing the original decision to issue a patent does not bode well. WARF will have an opportunity to submit a response to the USPTO in the coming months and following that, it will also have an opportunity to appeal any final ruling. In the meantime, the hESC research community is cautiously optimistic that one of the highest perceived barriers to progress in this field may ultimately be removed and investors may be more willing to support stem cell companies and research in the U.S.
