The Housing Choice Voucher Program is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments.
A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family's choice where the owner agrees to rent under the Housing Choice Voucher Program. This unit may include the family's present residence. Rental units must meet minimum standards of health and safety, as determined by the Virginia Housing Development Authority.
A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the Virginia Housing Development Authority on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program.
If you are a landlord who is interested in the Housing Choice Voucher Program you may access the following website for more information: hud.gov, vhda.com, virginiahousingsearch.com
The Winchester Office of Housing only serves families that live/work in the City of Winchester. Anyone may apply but those applicants who live/work in Winchester are placed on the waiting list ahead of those who do not live/work in Winchester. If you do not live/work in the waiting list area you will not be pulled from the waiting list to receive a voucher due to the number of applicants that live/work in the waiting list area.

CLAIM: Mariah Carey Begs Bobbi Kristina "Don't End Up Like Whitney"
Bobbi Kristina Brown "seems to be without parental guidance" in the wake of her mother Whitney Houston's death, reports Star, which goes on to claim, "One person is stepping up to keep the teen clean: Mariah Carey!" Gossip Cop can exclusively report the story is not true. But let's look at what the tabloid says anyway.
"Mariah decided it was time for some tough love," a so-called "insider" tells the magazine, adding, Carey and Brown had "a pretty harsh conversation, and they both ended up in tears." So, what exactly did the two supposedly talk about? "[Carey] told Krissy straight up that she knows she's not living right," says the tabloid's source, who offers no other specifics regarding the alleged discussion.
Still, that doesn't stop Star's "insider" from opining, "Hopefully it had some sort of impact, because Krissy needs to make some serious changes." Enough! Brown, of course, is still grieving the shocking loss of her mother, and there are going to be bumps in the road. But this supposed tearful confrontation with Carey over her alleged behavior is complete fiction and never happened. A rep for Carey tells Gossip Cop that Star's story is "not true at all."

Gavin R. Putland ("Just more obfuscation over tax", Letters, August 12) says: "Landowners hate land tax because they can't pass it on to tenants". At the same time, Putland argues: "land tax adds to the incentive" to rent.
The latter argument inherently assumes land tax will be passed on by landowners to tenants. The contradiction is apparent.

Monthly Two Hour Late Start Collaboration Time supports staff by expanding professional collaboration opportunities for teams of educators (i.e. regular education teachers, special education teachers, student services staff, paraprofessionals) to:
Late start collaboration sessions will involve teams of educators primarily at their school sites.
Professional collaboration is at the heart of the District's Continuous School Improvement Planning (CSIP) process and is an integral part of a Response to Intervention (RtI) framework of instruction and support for all students.
Collegial relationships that result from collaborative work within high-functioning learning communities support continuous adult learning, building of expertise, and the improvement of professional practice. Effective professional collaboration requires dedicated time available on a regular basis and educators sharing responsibility for the learning of all students.
The administrator(s) assigned to these areas of responsibility have developed schedule(s) to accommodate the Late Start Collaboration time.
Will this time be taking the place of common planning time that may already be built into the weekly schedule?
No. Late Start Collaboration Time is in addition to already existing collaboration blocks within building schedules and site CSIP expectations.
How can we afford to miss 18 hours of instructional time with students?
Research shows that "Teacher collaboration in strong professional learning communities improves the quality and equity of student learning, promotes discussions that are grounded in evidence and analysis rather than opinion, and fosters collective responsibility for student success" (McLaughlin & Talbert, 2006).
With the increasing demands on educators at the local, state, and national levels, we can't afford NOT to do this for our students and staff. Even with the proposed monthly late start schedule, the calendar still meets the required minutes for the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) at all levels.
Principals will be responsible for collecting agendas and minutes from teams of educators at their school site and submitting them to their assigned assistant superintendent on a monthly basis. Use of collaborative time must be directly linked to school and district goals.
At the elementary level, how will missed art, music, or physical education be made up for students and staff?
Schedules have been created at each site so that specials will not be missed on the Wednesday Late Start mornings.
Why late start and not early release to provide additional collaboration time?
Early release in the afternoon would mean that middle and high school students would have two hours of 'down time' prior to after school activities since most coaches/advisors would be involved in professional collaboration time. This could create supervision issues at the school sites and in the community.
With a late start schedule, middle and high school students could use the time to get additional sleep and support child care needs at home for younger siblings.
We Can't Give Teachers Time for Learning, or Can We?

Andrea Tantaros of Fox's talk show "The Five" has been signed to do a national radio talk show by Talk Radio Network. Starting on January 2, Andrea's new show will air in the 9 am to noon slot where TRN had produced Laura Ingraham's show until a few weeks ago. (Ingraham just signed with a new distributor, Courtside, and will also be back on the air that day.)
Joining Tantaros in the studio will be Human Events editor Jason Mattera, author of the best-selling books Obama Zombies and Hollywood Hypocrites.
TRN CEO Mark Masters declared "Andrea and Jason will bridge the age and gender gap that challenges talk radio today in ways no other show can. Their appeal to a bigger and broader audience, combined with an understanding of the actual radio business, is the best thing to happen to this new radio environment."

I am in need of a new laptop. Have never bought one myself. I just use the computer at work or borrow kid's computer. Any suggestions of a good, not real expensive brand to buy. I would love to have an Apple but they are so expensive.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am in need of a new laptop. Have never bought one myself. I just use the computer at work or borrow kid's computer. Any suggestions of a good, not real expensive brand to buy. I would love to have an Apple but they are so expensive.
Toshiba's are very good! I would asked yourself, how big of screen you want. 15.4? 14"? Check to see how much they weigh? The big thing for me is battery life! The more the better! All kinds of things to consider when buying a laptop, let's see what others say.
Macs are expensive for a reason. We just got our new one delivered today!
What makes them so different that they have to be the most expensive?
Went to Best Buy two years ago, got a Dell, 16.9 widescreen, Intel, 2G of memory for under $400....waited for the sale. What is stinky about it is that I have Vista - works very well for me, but it crashed when I tried to load the new Windows. If it comes with it, you are okay.
I have a new laptop. I wanted another Sony, but DH convinced me that saving $$ was more important and he bought me a Toshiba. I tell him almost daily that he will NEVER talk me out of a Sony again! EVER! My first desktop was as Sony (in 1997) and I loved it. Since then have had an Emachine desktop (piece of junk), a Toshiba laptop (ok but nothing special), a Dell laptop (really why would anyone buy this brand more than once? ... hard drive totally fried within a couple of months after the warranty ended--of course, Dell support cleverly limped it to that date) and I think something else along the way. When the Dell died a few years ago, I finally got another Sony (laptop) that I loved!!! Because technology changes so quickly, when it became sluggish and started crashing, I opted to get this Toshiba. I won't say I hate it, but I won't ever be completely happy with it. I doubt I'll ever buy anything but Sony again.
I have an Acer that I bought at Costco two years ago. I absolutely love it. Has a 14-1/2" screen and the battery life is phenomenal - Lasts a good 8 hours. Has been better that several laptops I've had that cost twice as much.
Personally.... I have had great luck with HP laptops (currently have 2). I have had my home laptop for 2 1/2 years and have not had one minute of trouble. I have had my other one for about 3 months.... no trouble yet.
When you do comparative shopping.... make sure you are comparing apples to apples. There are many, many options out there. I highly recommend a dual processer (works much faster).
You will also want to consider the type of support that will be available once you have purchased the system.
Good luck!
If you ever buy a Mac it will spoil you & you won't ever want anything else! You get what you pay for, & they outlast all the others. You don't get viruses either, like you could get on other computers. I had an G4 iBook, then hubby got a Macbook Air. Then he really wanted an iPad2, so now, I have the MacBook Air, & we sent my old one to my stepson, whose old computer had just died. Be sure & shop around, & get some good advice, before you invest in any computer....
Typing on a Toshiba Satellite right now! Had it almost 5 years and never a problem. I missed out on the battery recall as we didnt' get the info in the mail. Still using the same battery the computer came with and it holds life for almost 4 hours. Keep it plugged in to use it except when on the road. I bought a Logitech lap pad with a fan in it to keep the laptop cooled down. Only thing I wish it had was a keypad with numerals on the right hand side. Next one! Highly recommend Toshiba or Sony. Personal choice of course.Originally Posted by deedum

Pack less. Be more.
I have for sale a complete Trail Designs Sidewinder system with 1.3L pot.
The set will include:
1. An Evernew 1.3L pot
2. Sidewinder Ti cone
3. 12-10 alcohol stove
4. Titanium floor
5. Complete Esbit graham cracker kit w/ 3 esbit tabs.
It does NOT include the inferno kit since fire cooking for me was an emergency option only and the floor would suffice in a pinch.
I got it, played with it, loved it, but it's too big for my needs. It boiled 2 cups of water in 5.5 minutes!
I paid over $150 for the set and am looking to let it go for $110 shipped. PM me for pics if interested.

I've seen a lot of seagulls lately in the Oakwood area around shopping centers. Is that normal?
I have noticed two large tanks at the entrance to the Atlanta Botanical Garden site on Cleveland Highway. Pretty sure they are not building a gas station there, so what are they doing?
Are the sidewalks on Floyd Road going to be extended?
What was the result of the lawsuit against United Cities Gas Company for the gas explosion in the 1970s that was featured in Ask The Times two weeks ago?
Did Hall County library employees get the big bonus that other county employees received?
There was a house on Thompson Bridge Road that had a gas leak and exploded sometime in the 1970s. Can you help me find some information on it?
When will the new Denny's restaurant open in Gainesville?
Does Hall County have any plans to install a traffic light at the intersection of Sardis and Ledan roads? If not, how do I submit my concerns?
"The Fudgery" seems to have been undergoing renovations for a while. What is it, and when does it open?
My daughter recently asked me who owns the local college and trade schools in Oakwood.
We have a lot of trash metal in our garage, and we can't take it to the trash compactor site. Where do we take things like that?
After returning from vacation in September, I noticed that Hillside Drive in Gainesville had been resurfaced. Are there any plans to resurface Crestview Terrace or any other roads in our neighborhood?
What's happening with the house that was torn down near the corner of Park and Prior streets near the Brenau University campus?
I see all these little plastic commercial signs at intersections and along road rights-of-way, such as "Mattress company going out of business" or "We buy old houses," etc. I know they're illegal, but who is in charge of enforcing the code, and why don't they remove them? They sit there for weeks, maybe months.
Why does the smell of raw sewage take your breath away at the gas station and Señor Fiesta on Cleveland Highway near Nopone Road? Has no one complained before?

Iyanya Has A Tattoo Of Yvonne Nelson "YN" Initials On His Wrists - Cousin Claims
Many of us were taken aback when Yvonne Nelson openly declared she was in love with Iyanya and he broke her heart. Any we were equally shocked by Iyanya's playful response during a recorded "Ur Waist" rmx at Tim Westwood's show in London.
He said...
"Yvonne Nelson, I lost your medicine. She called that she's coming over and I ride her like a jangolova. All I want is your waist, no emotions, no tears, no letters, no love, no nothing. All I want is your waist, she ain't even know it. She brought emotions.
Well, someone is more angry than most of us and that's Yvonne Nelson's cousin Jason.. He claims Iyanya has a tattoo of Yvonne's initials on his wrist.
See what he said about Iyanya…
Why's Iyanya saying No emotions, No tears, but he has Yvonne Nelson's name ink'd on his skin? SILLY!!
Hate when ppl try take the piss out of my family "No tolerance for bull Shit" This
TimWestWood, Iyanya shit has got me MAD!
My cousin is a sweet loving girl, still don't understand how she was in love with a public dog ""Disrespectful Crap""
YN can only mean Yvonne Nelson. A tattoo for a gal u only wanted her waist?
Iyanya is the emotional one.
Be gentle with words. Don't say something you can never take back because sometimes a scar lasts longer than a single sorry.
Does this look like Iyanya's wrists?

The best websites in the world…ever. Vol.12
Instead of revealing what my three favourite sites are (…*cough*.. facebook) I am going to show you 3 sites, which aren't exactly my favourite, but ones that I find intriguing, interesting and plain right genius.
As we are all aware, the online world has become a universe of its own. Businesses are now expanding their need for competition which in turn has blossomed some fabulous and clever ways of captivating audiences all around the world.
I have always loved the marketing idea behind Absolute Vodka… so my first site is absolut. I think this site is entrancing, with its bright visuals, and 'flashy' campaigns. It is it's own colonised and extorted world. It is just foul tasting vodka to me; but boy does it make me want to buy every designer bottle!
Right, onto my second site. Music music music. Can't live without it! last.fm what a site! To be honest with you, this is not a site that I happened to stumble across. (I secretly thank Richard Titus, (Controller, User Experience & Design for BBC FM&T) for pointing it out to Tamar as his favourite site at our summer insight 2008. You can find his blog here ) I can investigate almost every album there is out there. The best part… the radio! Type in any artist you like, and it chooses music that falls in that genre. So I have got uninterrupted music all day. Genius!
Finally… www.addictinggames.com loads of mind numbing games…great for wasting your precious time. By the way.. I have never played it at work!
I hope you get time to visit these sites…

A car was crushed between two buses in Birkenhead this morning and an eyewitness said it was amazing nobody was badly hurt.
The crash happened this morning near the main bus stop in Birkenhead's town centre.
The driver and passenger of the car had minor injuries.
Police said the road would be closed until about 1pm and diversions had been put in place.
In another incident at 10.30am, five people were injured, including one person who was trapped in a car, after a two-car crash near Drury, south Auckland.
The fire service was able to free the person from the vehicle, northern fire communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said.
Two people were seriously injured and three had minor injuries when the two cars collided on Waihoehoe Road.
St John said the five people were taken to Middlemore Hospital shortly afterwards.

Gutknecht, Balzsay collide Friday
The Austrian winter sports mecca of Sölden will host a high voltage super middleweight bout on Friday when unbeaten Spotlight fighter Eduard "Eddy" Gutknecht (17-0, 7 KOs) defends his WBO Inter-Continental belt against former WBO world champion Karoly Balzsay (21-1, 15 KOs). It will be Balzsay's first fight since losing his title to Robert Stieglitz in August. Also scheduled is a WBO Inter-Continental super bantamweight clash between Spotlight's Zsolt Bedak (14-0, 4 KOs), rated WBO #3 and WBO #4 Ramie Laput (38-3, 18 KOs).
Eduard Gutknecht: "We know each other from Hamburg, but we're in different training groups. I'm with Magomed Schaburow. Karoly is with Fritz Sdunek and Artur Grigorian. One of us is going fade out [of the title picture], so for us this is about everything!"

Zabala (Sumer)
Coordinates: 31°44′36″N 45°52′36″E / 31.74333°N 45.87667°E
Zabala (also Zabalam, modern Tell Ibzeikh, Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq) was a city of ancient Sumer in what is now the Dhi Qar governorate in Iraq. Zabala was at the crossing of the ancient Iturungal and Ninagina canals. The city's deity was Inanna of Zabala.
The first mentions of Zabala are in seals from the Jemdet Nasr period including a list of early cites - Ur, Nippur, Larsa, Uruk, Kes, and Zabalam.[1] The earliest historical record, a bowl inscription, indicates that Zabala was under the control of Lugalzagesi of Lagash. In the Sargonic Period, Shar-kali-sharri and Naram-Sin both reported building a temple to the goddess Inanna in Zabala [2] and Rimush of Akkad reports Zabala as attempting to rebel against the control of the Akkadian Empire. After the fall of Akkad, Zabala came into the sphere of the city-state of Isin as reported by the year names of several rulers including Itar-pisa and Ur-Ninurta. The town was later subject to Abisare of Larsa, who's year name reported the building of the "Favorite of Inanna of Zabalam" canal.[3] During the Ur III period, Zabala was controlled by the Ur governor in Umma which was the capital of Umma Province. [4]Cuneiform texts state that Hammurabi built Zabala's temple Ezi-Kalam-ma to the goddess Innana.[5] The temple of Inanna in Zabalam is the subject of hymn 26 in the temple hymns of Enheduanna.
Beginning in the early 1900s, a great deal of illegal excavation occurred in Zabala. This activity reached a new height in the 1990s, at which time the Iraqi State Organization of Antiquities and Heritage appears to have authorized an official excavation, the first at the site. It is not clear that the results were ever published. A further outbreak of archaeological looting at Zabala broke out after the 2003 War in Iraq.

Tim Printy
UFO researcher and skeptical guy, Tim Printy, has been beleaguered by David Rudiak and Stanton Friedman because he (Mr. Printy) has had the chutzpah to challenge some of their work and ideas.
He has challenged a few of our ill-conceived insertions here also.
But we like Tim Printy.
He's brilliant and self-effacing when necessary.
When ideas about UFOs are thrown out, they always bring opprobrium if they challenge the UFO orthodoxy.
And the opprobrium can be vicious, as it was recently at UFO UpDates, by David Rudiak, regarding Tim Printy.
The UFO topic is innately bizarre. Hypotheses about UFOs have to be bizarre also, by the very nature of the phenomenon (or phenomena, if you will).
Tim Printy, like Robert Sheaffer, go after orthodox ufology in ways that deconstruct bad thinking; this makes the bad thinkers angry.
Thus they lash out.
This is just a short note to say that we support all heterodox thinkers: Printy, Sheaffer, Caravaca, et al.
May they thrive for a very long time....

Pachygrapsus transversus Gibbes 1850
Common Name:
Mottled Shore Crab
Species Description:
The mottled shore crab, Pachygrapsus
transversus, is a small intertidal crab belonging to the
family Grapsidae. Members of this family are characterized by
squarish carapaces with few spines (Voss 1980). The color of
the carapace in P. transversus is dark green to black,
and the surface is covered with oblique lines of fine tubercles
or bumps (Abele et al. 1986, Ruppert & Fox 1988,
Voss 1980). The sides converge toward the posterior end to form
a trapezoidal shape, and the area between the eyes is slightly
curved and bears no teeth. The claws are brownish to pink or
cream, with a smooth upper surface on the movable finger. Teeth
are present on the hind margins of the largest joints on the
legs. Unlike many crabs, there is no sexual dimorphism in claw
size, and the total body size of males is larger than females
(Abele et al. 1986).
Potentially Misidentified Species:
The spray crab, Plagusia depressa,
is a grapsid crab with similar features to the mottled shore
crab, and can be found in many of the same habitats. The carapace
reaches a much larger width of about 2.4 cm, and is variously
colored with shades of red, green or orange (Ruppert & Fox
1988). Unlike P. transversus, the body is nearly circular
with a toothed front margin, and teeth are found on the front
side of the largest segments of the walking legs.
Regional Occurrence & Habitat
The mottled shore crab has a wide geographic
range, including: the western Atlantic from North Carolina to
Uruguay, and Bermuda; the eastern Atlantic to Angola, including
the Canary Islands and Cape Verde; Mediterranean; and the eastern
Pacific from California to Peru, including the Galapagos Islands
(Rathbun 1918). This species had also been introduced to areas
such as Copenhagen (Christiansen 1969). The preferred habitat
of this crab is as varied as its range. Populations are common
in rocky intertidal areas, on wharf pilings and sea walls, and
in swamps of the red mangrove, Rhizophora
mangle (eg. Abele 1976). However, individuals
may be found in virtually any sheltered marine intertidal zone
at tropical and subtropical latitudes (Crane 1947).
IRL Distribution:
The mottled shore crab can be
found throughout the IRL in all the habitats described above.
However, individuals are probably most abundant among jetty
rocks, on buoys and pilings near inlets.
Age, Size, Lifespan:
The maximum age of P. transversus
is unknown, and the lifespan can vary with food availability
and environmental factors. The mottled shore crab is a small
species, with the maximum reported carapace width of only 1.7
cm (Abele 1986).
Sexual dimorphism is mostly restricted
to abdomen morphology, which is larger in females and used to
carry egg broods. However, claw size also differs depending
on sex, with larger claws belonging to males (Flores et
al. 1998). Both males and females reach sexual maturity
at a carapace width of about 0.7 cm (Abele et al. 1986).
As with most decapod crustaceans, fertilization occurs during
copulation. The process usually takes place at the entrance
of a burrow, lasts approximately 10 seconds, and is initiated
with a leg touch (Abele et al. 1986). Sperm-filled
cases, called spermatophores, are transferred from the male
to the female. After the eggs are fertilized, the female broods
them on her abdomen until hatching. Reproduction is seasonal
in some locations, and is likely linked to water temperature
and food availability. In Brazil, ovigerous females were reported
throughout the year (Flores et al. 1998), but were
most abundant in summer months; whereas, recruitment of young
was highest in winter (Flores & Negreiros-Fransozo 1999b).
Reproduction occurred continuously in Panama populations, and
lasted from November through March in Costa Rica (Crane 1947).
Larval release is mostly controlled by
tidal rhythms, and can occur at high tides during the day or
at night (Flores et al. 2007, Morgan & Christy
1994). Once hatched, larvae pass through seven zoeal stages
and one megalopa before settling to the benthos and metamorphosing
into juveniles (Williams 1984).
Little is known about the thermal tolerances
of P. transversus, but the warm temperate to tropical
distribution of the species suggests that it can withstand a
wide range of temperatures, reaching a thermal minimum around
North Carolina. The hiding behavior of the mottled shore crab
in holes and crevices is likely a response to thermal and desiccation
stress. Individuals allowed to participate in this behavior
on hot days were found to be about 3-4 °C cooler than the
surrounding air (Abele et al. 1986).
about the salinity tolerances for P. transversus is
scarce, but most populations of mottled shore crabs are found
in highly saline, coastal waters (Ruppert & Fox 1988).
Trophic Mode:
The mottled shore crab is omnivorous, feeding
on algae and detritus at low tide, interspersed with animal
prey, including: porcelain crabs, Petrolisthes
armatus and P. tridentatus; fishes; and smaller
crabs, including juvenile P. transversus (Abele et
al. 1986).
As a common intertidal organism, P.
transversus is preyed upon by both aquatic and terrestrial
organisms, including fishes, raccoons, birds and frogs (Abele
et al. 1986, Sazima 1971).
Associated Species:
No known obligate associations exist for
P. transversus. However, mottled shore crabs are associated
with several organisms common to rocky intertidal areas and
mangroves. For extensive lists of other species found in the
habitats in which P. transversus occurs, please refer

If you've been here last year, we'll tell you the truth — you'll miss the variety.
If you haven't, though, the United Art Fair this year is a feast of many firsts. Overwhelming posters reading 'the biggest artist-driven fair in South Asia', 'convert your wallet into an art piece' and 'see art, love art, buy art' welcomed us to the second edition of the event, which opened in the city on Saturday.
At the entrance, we spotted photographer Ram Rahman, co-curator of the fair, giving the final touches as men moved around the canvasses.
He described putting it together as a "crazy workout session for the whole curatorial team".
With 283 artists and over 2000 works priced between Rs 5,000 - Rs 2 crore, it's an equal workout for visitors to walk the four halls that make up the massive showcase of photography, mixed media, pop art, paintings and installations.
And, it is right after the first few steps that you realise there is no dedicated section to any particular line of work. "It's all mixed up; that's the beauty of it. You get to see a variety of works from one position," explained Peter Nagy, artistic director. The rest is for the pictures to say.

School might be out, but in a matter of days, Katie Matteo will be sitting down to a two-hour, multiple-choice test about software used for desktop publishing.
Granted, she'll be in Orlando, Fla., but the plane flight and downtime in the hotel will be spent studying.
Matteo, who will be a senior at Steamboat Springs High School in the fall, qualified for the Future Business Leaders of America National competition in desktop publishing. The competition takes place later this week.
FBLA gives students the chance to compete at the regional, state and national level in various business-related activities -- Web-site design, public speaking, entrepreneurship, accounting and marketing.
There are about 50 activities, and each state's top one or two competitors or teams in each activity go on to nationals.
"This is a huge opportunity that we're going to be taking," Matteo said.
"It's absolutely just huge," said Shirley Belz, a retiring teacher and Matteo's FBLA advisor. "It's one of those things that you won't forget."
Matteo and her teammate Devyn Riley took the practical test together for nationals, in which they had two hours to design a menu, business card and flier. Because Riley cannot make the trip to Orlando, Matteo will take the written exam alone.
SSHS does not have some of the software programs tested through the exam, but she's planning to give it her best shot.
Matteo began participating in FBLA two years ago when Belz recruited her.
"I said, 'You're really good at what you do -- why don't you give it a shot?'" Belz said. Belz cites Matteo's eye for design and attention to detail as some of her strengths when it comes to design. And Matteo always "takes it to another level," not being satisfied with something that's OK, but striving for something that is perfect, Belz said.
Matteo grew up enjoying art but not really exploring desktop publishing and graphic design until she took a class from Belz. But now, she said, she plans to study graphic design in college.
The first key to design, Matteo said, is to know whom the product is targeting.
"You have to know your audience so you can draw them in and actually communicate to them, because it's for them," she said.
It's also important to allow for enough white space, use effective graphics and choose words carefully whether you are designing a flyer, business card, brochure or copy form.
Matteo is involved with a variety of activities. She's a dancer and will produce the dance showcase next school year, works on the yearbook and on Link Crew, serves on the Honor Council and is part of the National Honor Society.
Through FBLA, she has sharpened her desktop-publishing skills, learned how to work as a team and how to compete. Plus, she has had fun and made friends through the experience.
"I think it will be beneficial in my future, no matter what I do," Matteo said about the skills she's gained from FBLA.
Belz hopes that Matteo does well at the national competition, but she said it's really not about winning.
"It's about the journey," Belz said. "The whole process of getting ... to that level is what is exciting."
"Anything else is just a bonus," she said.
The trip to compete and attend the conference at nationals costs $1,700 a person. So, Matteo and Belz are asking for any help they can get. At SSHS, FBLA raises about $5,000 to $7,000 a year for fees to local competitions; it does not receive funding from the school.

BeschreibungIrish-American writer Maeve Brennan, who died in 1993, is justly admired for her stories and articles for the New Yorker, and this novella - written in the 1940s but not published until 2001 - gives added evidence of her gifts. The story has a wrenching sadness that leaves a mark on the reader, its tale of rejection and loneliness almost too hard to bear. The title - as spare and forthright as the writer's style - is exactly right At 16 Anastasia left her home in Dublin to follow her mother to exile in Paris. Now, six years later, she is coming home to her grandmother only to find that that word is denied to her as she is asked how long she intends to stay. A meticulous evocation of the old lady, her equally aged servant and the preserved past of their house creates an atmosphere of musty despair. Increasingly dislocated from ordinary life, Anastasia persists in her hope that she will be welcomed and loved. She rebuffs suggestions that she should make her life elsewhere and refuses to acknowledge her grandmother's polite coldness. As Anastasia begins to lose hope Brennan demonstrates her gift for conveying the deadliness of spite without exaggeration. In a chilling few lines she shows the girl withdrawing from normal life: 'Now in the city there are two worlds. One world has walls around it and one world has people round it.' Anastasia wants to be loved in that world with walls around it but she is locked out. (Kirkus UK)

I also used Dreft and Baby All, but not for long. I gradually started using other products, and as long as she didn't have a reaction, I used them. I actually still have half a box of dreft and a partial bottle of Baby All. I love the way Dreft smells, and I used it on all her clothes before she was born. I found the only thing I realy needed to worry about was what her cloth diapers were washed in. I needed detergent without enzymes in it, and that is pretty hard to find- even the baby detergents didn't help.
Oh, I should add that my DD had eczema, too. The detergent didn't seem to make a difference one way or the other, so you may not have to use a baby detergent at all.06-04-2005, 06:16 PM #5

I should also add that I've thrown a few of Paiges things with our laundry when I had the room for them (instead of doing an additional small load or wait for more dirty clothes) and the detergent I use most of the time (Purex or Tide) has never bothered her.06-04-2005, 06:52 PM #6
I haven't heard of those kinds here...I always used Ivory Snow for the first few months on their clothes06-04-2005, 06:52 PM #7
Oh, wanted to add....I used them on all our clothes close to the arrival of baby coming....got us in the baby mood! DH wasn't impressed going into truck stops smelling like a wee baby!06-04-2005, 07:16 PM #8

Heather, it should be international law that all men smell like babies.
I used pure soap flakes for the first few months. When I realised they had no reactions to our clothes or the things around them, I used our regular laundry liquid.06-04-2005, 07:36 PM #9
I used All Free Clear for the whole family. Now I make my own powder detergent and will continue to use it.06-13-2005, 09:23 PM #10

Make your own soap.
It has less chemicals than the kind bought in stores. (Less chemical = less chance of an allergic reaction, rashes etc)
7 onces of zote. (chip it up) Heat the soap in half a gallon of water until it dissolves.
Add Half a cup of washing soda
and half a cup of Borax.
Then when this is dissolve
Add 1.5 gallon of water.
You could probably change the Zote soap with some ivory. (I would add more ivory soap than the Zote)
This ends up costing you 2-3 cents for a load of laundry.
Hope this helps.06-14-2005, 01:09 AM #11
I have been using Baby All. But I have washed his clothes with our stuff too with our regular soaps and it hasn't caused him any reactions.06-14-2005, 07:18 AM #12

I ended up buying Dreft yesterday and washed several loads and have it all ready for our little man!! I won't buy Dreft again - next time I will get the Baby All.08-06-2009, 11:47 PM #13
I use the Baby All in my baby clothes and something I use it to some one mine. It smells really good

The furor surrounding the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates in his own home is still causing ripples after President Barack Obama made clear he regarded the entire episode as an example of stupidity. Sergeant James Crowley, the white policeman who was summoned to the home of Professor Gates after receiving a complaint about a break-in, insists he acted properly and the president had no right to term his actions stupid. He thought it was incorrect for the president to wade "into what should be a local issue." Supporters of Crowley argue Gates was responsible for his own arrest by overreacting.
The president's words are very clear concerning the matter. "I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And number three– what I think we know separate and apart from this incident– is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately and that's just a fact."
The bottom line is–who believes if Gates was a white man in his sixties and opened the door, showed an ID and explained the situation that he would have been arrested? If he had been white, the police officer would have laughed with Gates and waved goodbye. A few months ago I reported a burglary and a police officer came to my door. I am a white haired man of 78. He never asked for an ID as proof that it was my apartment. I told him someone stole my wallet while I was downstairs working at my computer. He gently had me sit in a chair, rummaged around my paper strewn table and found the wallet. He smiled at me and said goodbye. That's what happens when one is white skinned and in their seventies.
Sorry, Sgt. Crowley, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO OVERREACTED!

1. Perling Indah
Perling Indah has the largest variety of chocolate available in JB that I know of. You might notice that I might be a little biased towards Perling Indah as compared to other baking shops in JB, but that's really because I stay near this shop and I can't say for the prices in the other shops!
- Here are some prices:
- Van Houten – RM9.20 for a 150g 'baking chocolate' bar
- Beryl white/dark/milk chocolate compound – RM15.80/kg
- Beryl 62% chocolate buttons – RM50/kg
- Tulip – RM16.50/kg
- Tropica chocolate compound – RM15/kg
- Le Bourne chocolate compound – RM16.50/kg
- Selbourne milk/dark chocolate compound – RM18/kg
- Callebaut – RM140 for a 2.5kg pack (53.8%)
- Cacao Barry – RM58/kg
- SICAO milk/dark block – RM62 for a 1.5kg pack, RM72 for a 2.5kg pack
- Cacao Barry amber cocoa powder – RM78/kg
2. Aeroshield JB
- Aeroshield has its headquarters in KL at Pandan Indah (check out its website here). If getting it in JB, contact Mr Danny Lai at 010 6623542.
- Here are some prices:
- Callebaut dark coverture – RM97.50 for a 2.5kg pack
- Callebaut cocoa powder – RM40/kg (available only in 5kg pack)
- Cacao Barry extra brute cocoa powder – RM50/kg
- SICAO 70% chocolate callets – RM45 for a 1.5kg pack
- Pastry Pro is located in Kepong. Check out its website here.
- It only carries Felchlin, which is a Swiss brand. Felchlin Maracaibo 65% retails for about RM22.35 for 250g pack.
- Just as a comparison, Felchlin retails at ToTT in Singapore for $72/2kg, and this is the smallest size available.
4. Gourmandines
This is an online only retail shop, which provides free delivery for purchases above RM250. If I'm not wrong, it is the only place in KL to get Valrhona chocolate. It sells a whole lot of other things too, such as gourmet cheeses and pasta, at pretty cheap prices.
Here are some prices:
Valrhona Manjari (64%) / Jivara (40%) / Ivory Buttons – RM25/200g; RM108/kg
Valrhona Guanaja (70%) also available but prices not online.
5. Classic Fine Foods
I also found this website which appears to retail Valrhona chocolate, but the e-shopping website is under construction for the longest time, so erm..call them if you really want to know if they sell Valrhona?
6. Artisan Supplies
- Pei-Lin graciously provided details of this shop she frequents in KL, where you can get quality branded chocolate (no Valrhona) as well as frozen purees.
- Their fb page is here. See her comment below for more details!

Hi, Janine. I admire you for taking the time to research and put together this post for the benefit of all home bakers.
There's a bakery supplies store called Artisan Supplies near my home in Ampang, K.L., that carries some quality branded chocolate and cocoa products (Callebaut; Cacao Barry; SICAO; etc.; no Valrhona, however), alongside some other baking necessities. The links below may help somewhat, but are the best I can find:
Personally, I'd buy only chocolate and cocoa products, (rare) frozen fruit purees, pastes for flavoring purpose, and certain utensils from them. Most of their items are expensive, e.g., cream cheese. I guess, compared to regular bakery supplies stores such as Yen Bakery Supply (Taman Lembah Maju, Ampang) and Bake With Yen (Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya), Artisan Supplies is on the higher end of the spectrum. Nonetheless, the good news for me is I no longer need to lug bags of quality chocolate and cocoa powder back from Singapore, which I'd done with Valrhona two years ago. Lol.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Janine,
Thanks for the useful info! These will definitely come in handy!
Hi Janine, thanks for sharing the info.

KNOXVILLE -- The Tennessee seniors hope Sunday was not their last match at Barksdale Stadium, but if it was, they made sure to finish up their home careers in a winning way.
Seniors Edward Jones, Taylor Patrick and John Collins led the charge in the Vols' 4-0 shutout victory over No. 18 Auburn to close out the regular season in front of the largest crowd of the season.
The 10th-ranked Vols (21-7, 8-4 SEC) will be the No. 2 seed in next week's SEC Tournament in Oxford, Miss. With a strong finish down the stretch, the Vols have also put themselves in good standing to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Championships in May.
"I feel like the team is peaking at the right time heading into the tournament," Tennessee head coach Sam Winterobotham said. "This is where the fun starts."
The Vols struggled at the start of doubles in Friday's 4-1 win over Alabama, but that was hardly the case against Auburn (13-9, 5-7). Tennessee got up on all three courts midway through the sets and started pulling away.
Patrick and Jarryd Chaplin won their second match together this weekend, beating Lukas Ollert and Joseph Van Dooren 8-3 on court 3. Collins and Jones rebounded from a shutout loss on Friday to defeat Lucas Lopasso and Dennis Lengsfeld to clinch the doubles point.
With the lead in hand, the Vols experienced no letdown after the seniors were honored during the break. Tennessee jumped out to take five of six first sets.
"We took care of doubles and then brought that same energy in singles," Patrick said. "We jumped on them and took five first sets. We didn't let that break for Senior Day hurt us. We kept the energy and just kind of rolled them."
Patrick was the first off court for Tennessee. He won his third SEC match since returning to the singles lineup last month, beating Joseph Van Dooren 6-4, 7-5 on court 6.
Sophomore Mikelis Libietis seemed destined to go three sets but went ahead at finished his match in two. The Vols' No. 1 wrapped up a stellar SEC season by rallying from down 5-1 in the second set to beat 28th-ranked Andreas Mies 6-4, 7-6 (0).
Libietis finished the regular season 8-1 in singles and 10-1 in doubles during conference play, all at the No. 1 position. His win over Mies put the Vols ahead 3-0.
Jones and Chaplin both held match points on adjoining courts, but Jones had the honor of clinching the match. He broke Lopasso's serve to seal the Vols' shutout win, earning a 7-5, 6-4 victory on court 5. It was Jones' second singles victory over the weekend.
Between singles and doubles, the seniors helped the Vols finish strong in the final weekend of the season. Jones went 2-0 in singles, Collins was 1-0 and Patrick was 1-1. Back in the doubles lineup this week, Patrick also went 2-0 in doubles with Chaplin.
"They all care," Winterbotham said. "There's no egos. In our sport, you deal with egos ... These three guys are all about the team. For me, it's a pleasure."
Tennessee 4, Auburn 0
1. #4 Mikelis Libietis, UT, def. #28 Andreas Mies, AU, 6-4, 7-6 (0)
2. #30 Hunter Reese, UT, vs. Daniel Cochrane, AU, 7-6, 3-2
3. Jarryd Chaplin, UT, vs. Dennis Lengsfeld, AU, 7-6, 6-5
4. John Collins, UT, vs. Lukas Ollert, AU, 5-7, 5-3

The C&C 29 is a reliable and comfortable cruiser that has proven herself as an able racer as well. Her low wetted surface and long, narrow waterline and powerful masthead rig, fin keel and balanced spade rudder makes her an outstanding performance boat. Fast and fun to sail, she still has cruising accommodations with a double berth in the forward cabin, a 6'4" quarter berth and a table that folds against the bulkhead allowing you to pull out the double 6'3" main salon berth and there is yet another across for a sleeping capacity for six. The head has a SS sink and overhead vent. The door folds out to create an enclosed shower stall with teak grate sole. The full sized hanging locker opposite allows you to stand and dress in privacy with plenty of room. She has an L-shaped galley. There are plenty of storage areas, shelves and lockers to stow everything from toiletries to galley gear and personal items. This boat is very clean, has never seen salt water and the current owner has had her for 10 seasons.

My research is in the general area of stellar evolution and stellar populations. I'm particulary interested in the ages of globular clusters (see a picture of their locations) and the formation of the Milky Way. Below is a brief summary of some of my current research projects.
The computer program I use to model the evolution of stars is not publicaly available, but it can be run using a simple web interface. This web interface is a work in progress, and if you encounter any difficulties, please e-mail me. The bulk of the web interface was designed by Susan Schwarz from Research Computing at Dartmouth.
I am a co-investigator of the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys Tresury Project on Galactic Globular Clusters. This project has obtained high quality images of 65 galactic globula clusters. One of the higlights of this work was a study of the globular cluster M54, which is located in the center of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. The major results of this work are illusrated in the figure below.

Your subscriptions cost way more than you think–especially media subscriptions. Take a look:
Businesses used to just sell single products, until they realized they could make much more money by selling a subscription. It doesn't seem like that much when you're only paying $12/month for TiVo ("only $0.40 per day!"). Here's a breakdown of what you might be spending just on media subscriptions:
- $30/month for Internet
- $50/month for cell phone
- $40/month for cable TV
- $12/month for TiVo
- $10/month for Napster/Rhapsody music subscription
- $10/month for some other content-subscription like HighBeam Research
$1,824 per year
Add in other subscriptions like your gym and you'll be stunned. One of my students I taught last week is making $50,000/year and, after calculating this, she realized she is paying 30% of her after-tax income to subscriptions.

PHOENIX — Action-movie star Steven Seagal says he is considering a run for Arizona governor.
The "Marked for Death" actor told KNXV-TV that he is considering a shot at the state's highest office and has had a talk about the bid with the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America.
The actor made the comments while talking about his newly released reality series "Steven Seagal — Lawman: Maricopa County."
Seagal, 61, teamed up with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for the show that was shot in Arizona and airs on cable TV's Reelz Channel.
The martial arts expert is a member of Arpaio's posse, made up of 3,000 unpaid civilians. He also has been deputized with sheriff's offices in New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana and says he wants to increase border security.

NEW YORK — The Eurythmics are reuniting — to pay tribute to The Beatles.
The Recording Academy announced today that Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart will perform as a duo for "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute To The Beatles." The event will be taped at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Jan. 27, a day after the Grammy Awards.
Longtime Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich, who is also producing The Beatles special, thought the Eurythmics would be ideal to honor the iconic group.
"When it came around to booking this show, what I felt was important was to try and find those artists who not only would be able to interpret Beatles songs, but would also have an ... understanding of what they meant," he said in an interview.
The Eurythmics, who sold millions of albums and whose hits include "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)," released their debut in 1981. Ehrlich said Lennox and Stewart, who have launched successful solo careers, are thrilled to perform in tribute to The Beatles.
Ehrlich wouldn't say which Beatles tune the British duo would perform, but John Mayer and Keith Urban will pair up to perform "Don't Let Me Down," while Alicia Keys and John Legend will perform a duet on "Let It Be."
Maroon 5 also will hit the stage.
The special will air on CBS on Feb. 9 — exactly 50 years after The Beatles made their U.S. debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show." An estimated 73 million viewers tuned in to watch the event, which has become one of the world's top cultural moments.
"They really did change people's lives, so what I'm hoping this show ... gets across is the message that occasionally in history we are touched by certain artists who have a profound effect on us beyond just the music that they make," Ehrlich said.
Ehrlich wouldn't confirm if Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr would attend the event, though The Beatles will be honored with a lifetime achievement award two days earlier at the Recording Academy's Special Merit Awards in Los Angeles.
The special will include about a dozen performances, Ehrlich said. More performers will be announced at a later date.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney says he has accepted an apology from an MSNBC host who joked about a Christmas picture that included the 2012 Republican presidential candidate's adopted, African-American grandson.
Romney told "Fox News Sunday" that he sees Melissa Harris-Perry's apology as sincere and is ready to move on. He says everyone — himself included — makes mistakes and the Romney family has forgiven MSNBC.
During a segment, Harris-Perry asked her guests to talk about a photo showing infant Kieran Romney with his grandparents and their 21 other grandchildren, all of them white.
One guest on her Sunday show, actress Pia Glenn, sang "one of these things just isn't the same."
Harris-Perry later said her intention was to celebrate diversity, but the segment took an unexpected and offensive turn.

Microsoft Prods Apple to Make iTunes Metro App for Windows 8
Jason Mick
May 10, 2013 1:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple is reportedly a huge fan of Metro and is "borrowing" its design, but won't help Windows 8 out
Windows 8 has its
fair share of detractors
, but its latest struggle has been with a snub from Apple, Inc. (
). While Apple designers are reportedly looking towards a
"flatter" UI for iOS 7 a la the Metro/Windows 8 UI
, they don't appear to be in any rush to bring out a Metro version of iTunes for Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows 8 operating system.
Microsoft's Windows chief financial officer Tami Reller
, "You shouldn't expect an iTunes app on Windows 8 any time soon. ITunes is in high demand. The welcome mat has been laid out. It's not for lack of trying."
While Apple has not officially dropped support for the Windows platform -- its largest iTunes customer base -- it's not putting much effort into it either. Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro users can still access the legacy iTunes, but only
in desktop mode
. Windows RT users (not that there are many of them -- reportedly
only 200,000 Windows RT tablets sold
in Q1 2013) can't access iTunes at all, as Windows RT only runs Microsoft-approved apps compiled to run on the ARM architecture.
While Ms. Reller says that Microsoft firmly
believes in its first-party
Xbox Music app
, she acknowledges that Apple's music store remains the most popular digital music store. That's why she's so frustrated at the snub.
Despite (relatively)
weak sales
of Microsoft's first-party
Surface Pro
Surface RT
tablets, Apple is reportedly concerned that designing a Metro app could make the playing field a little too level between the iPad and Surface.
So far
100 million Windows 8/RT licenses
have been sold, so there's probably > 50 million Windows 8/RT users in the wild to be conservative. That's a lot of customers to overlook.
It remains to be seen whether the move backfires on Apple. After all, Windows users have access to other digital music stories such as Google Inc.'s (
) Play music store and Amazon.com, Inc.'s (
) Amazon MP3 service -- both of which are reportedly working on Metro editions of their music marketplace apps (Google recently released a Metro edition of its YouTube app, so it knows a thing or two about developing for the platform). And then there's Microsoft's own bundled offering.
If Apple refuses to play ball with Metro, it may see purchases from Windows users decline. And while Apple typically would cheer at Microsoft's loss, in this case that loss might be mutual.
