There are a lot of shoe-gazer bands gitting the road, so it's refreshing when a group comes up with ways to create an entertaining show. In these tough economic times, music fans want to get their money's worth from concerts.
OK Go pulled out all the stops at last night's Fox Theatre show. The group came blasting music full-tilt with each band member sporting a different neon-colored suit. When was the last time you saw a band dress up for a show?
The rockers didn't have enough room on stage — or any spare pets — to pull off their live video routines, but OK Go did show off its powerhouse indie rock tunes and enough schtick to keep the packed audience loving the show.
OK Go performed the tune "What To Do" on handbells, surprised lead singer Damian Koulash with an audience rendition of "Happy Birthday" — and showed off its musicianship with rocking versions of "Here It Goes Again" and "White Knuckles."
Along the way, the band's confetti machine poured out more confetti than a ticker-tape parade — I pity the soul that has to clean up that mess. Koulash also performed an acoustic song in the middle of the audience, and talked to the crowd about Boulderites making bongs out of lawn flamingos called Flabongos. Real or made up, the story entertained the crowd.
Some haters said the OK Go show was too gimmicky. I'd much rather see a band give a show its all, then see some band mumble to the crowd and act as if the audience isn't even there.
That said, kudos to OK Go for keeping this reporter and the crowd entertained.

1. Koalas Have Human-Like Fingerprints
Besides primates, koalas are one of the few mammals that have fingerprints. In fact, the marsupials' fingerprints are so similar to humans that it's difficult to distinguish the two, even under a microscope.
The conversation led to another interesting fact: Humans have "invisible markings" on their bodies that only become visible when affected by certain diseases.

Student Success and Parent Programs
Freshman or New Families
Summer is an excellent time to help your student start preparing for the college experience. There is much to learn and many questions to be answered before your student leaves for campus. The Summer Orientation and Registration programs (SOAR) provide an excellent opportunity to accomplish many tasks to assist your student with a successful transition to the University. Discuss with your student a time that would work for the both of you to attend a SOAR program, as attendance is required of all freshman. SOAR programs for parents are optional. Your student can schedule a reservation for the SOAR program on his or her STARS account.
Here are the major objectives to complete prior to to your students begins their college experience:
We encourage all students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is the application process needed for grants and the student loan program. Once the FAFSA has been submitted, students need to check their STARS account, as many students will need to complete additional steps before an official financial award is provided by the University. Encourage your student to assume responsibility for this process by maintaining a proactive approach in completing all of the necessary steps. 70% of WIU students are randomly selected for a verification process which required the student to complete additional information. All verification material needs to be submitted to the financial aid office prior to August 1 or their aid will be delayed. Additional financial aid information is available on STARS, through the web, or on the telephone.
Western Illinois University has a on campus living policy. Parents you can help your student complete their housing application as soon as they're admitted to Western, it is time to choose where they would like to live. Your student will make their housing selection by submitting a housing application. Room assignments are made based on the date that your housing application (Preference Form and Processing Fee) are received by our Assignments Office. We do guarantee housing; however, the earlier you apply the more likely your preferences will be matched.
What your student and you will need to complete the Housing Application:
- The students' 9-digit WIU ID Number
- The Students' Community Preference: This is where the student will indicate if they are interested in a learning community, interest community or specific building.
- The Students Roommate Preference: If the student knows someone they would like to live with, they will need their name and 9-digit WIU ID Number. Otherwise, after you apply, the student will have the option to go through our Roommate Matching program or be randomly assigned a roommate
- Housing Application Fee: When completing the online housing application, you will need to pay the $50 processing fee by major credit card when submitting your housing application.To pay by check, call 309-298-2461 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to request a housing application packet to be mailed. Cash payment accepted only in person at Seal Hall, 1 University Circle, Macomb, IL 61455.
Student Health Insurance is mandatory for all Western Illinois University students who are taking 9 semester hours or more or more of on-campus classes*. The Student Health Insurance should be used along with existing family coverage, and student insurance is suggested as way to provide the student with guaranteed coverage, 24 hours a day protection and a very low deductible in the event of accident or illness. WIU's Student Insurance will provide help for mental health and substance abuse issues, as well as hospital stays, maternity care and ambulance transport. Health insurance waiver forms may be submitted if you believe your insurance is equal to or better than WIU insurance and you want your student released from our on campus program.
Make sure to complete all annual appointments prior to starting school: eye doctor, allergist, dermatologist, etc.
Bringing a vehicle to campus is a family decision. Parking permits for the academic year are ordered online through the parking services website beginning August 1. Student will need to know their WIU Ecom user name and password. Students can receive assistance with this information through the Student Assistance and Parent Service Center 309-298-2092.

Hi All, I have tried to search for this on the forums under 'avada menus'
My homepage has a Revolution Slider on it.
My menu bar has a few entries (i.e. 'Main Item 1') some of which have sub menu options (i.e. Main Item 1 – SUB 1).
When I hover over the main item ('Main Item 1') the sub menu options appear (and therefore over the revolution slider) but as I go to select them they disappear.
The menu works fine on all other pages (that don't have the slider on them)
Is there an option I am not selecting or is there something else I can tweak for this to work?
Many thanks, Dom
Hi Dom, this is a general open forum, the appropriate support forum for this theme can be found here.
Or, you can interact directly with the author here. The link takes you to the item's Comments section, where you can also browse previous posts for additional information and/or troubleshooting.
Just leave the author a quick comment and he'll gladly point you in the right direction. Good luck.
Ok many thanks, I'll do that. I must say it has all got a bit confusing as to where to go now. Dom

Statement to Healthcare Professionals on the ACCORD Lipid Trial from the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is informing healthcare professionals that it will review the primary data from the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) Lipid Trial, which evaluated the potential cardiovascular benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus taking simvastatin plus fenofibrate.
Presented at the American College of Cardiology conference on March 14, 2010, the ACCORD Lipid Trial, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), evaluated the occurrence of major cardiovascular events (nonfatal heart attack, nonfatal stroke, cardiovascular death) in patients receiving simvastatin plus fenofibrate, compared to simvastatin alone. All patients in the study had a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, were at high risk for cardiovascular disease, and were followed on average for 4.7 years. The trial found that there was no difference in cardiovascular outcomes between the two groups (Hazard Ratio = 0.92; 95% Confidence Interval: 0.79 – 1.08; p = 0.32).
At this time, FDA has made no new conclusions or recommendations regarding the combination use of simvastatin or other statin drugs and fenofibrate. The agency will conduct a thorough review of the primary ACCORD data as soon as they become available.
In 2008, FDA approved Trilipix (fenofibric acid):
"as an adjunct to diet in combination with a statin to reduce triglycerides (TG) and increase HDL-C in patients with mixed dyslipidemia and CHD or a CHD risk equivalent who are on optimal statin therapy to achieve their LDL-C goal."
The Trilipix labeling currently states that no incremental benefit of Trilipix on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality over and above that demonstrated for statin use alone had been established. Part of FDA's review of the ACCORD trial will be to determine how the study's findings relate to the approved indication and labeling for Trilipix.
Healthcare professionals should consider the available clinical information on simvastatin and fenofibrate when deciding what cholesterol-lowering medications to prescribe.
Patients should not stop taking their current medications without talking to their healthcare professional.
The agency will update the public with any new recommendations or conclusions when its review of the primary ACCORD trial data is complete.

Vincent D'Onofrio's life changed on the set of Full Metal Jacket, writes Paul Kalina.
Despite the prickly actor's reluctance to do the publicity rounds and a bout of illness that forced production of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, in which D'Onofrio plays oddball detective Bobby Goren, to close down for several days, here he is at the end of a day on the set talking with ease and candour about his auspicious film debut 17 years earlier in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (we'll forget his role before that as Lobotomy in the Troma teen sex comedy The First Turn-On).
D'Onofrio's unforgettable role as the deeply troubled
Private Pyle in Kubrick's Vietnam war film is a topic that is close to his
heart, as is the iconic director himself, whose obsessive and
idiosyncratic working methods are now part of movie lore.
D'Onofrio was a greenhorn when he first got wind of a still vacant role in Kubrick's film. He was 18, performing in off-Broadway plays and moonlighting as a bouncer. Matthew Modine, who had already been cast to play Private Joker, suggested his friend for the role.
"I couldn't believe it," D'Onofrio recalls of the telephone call he received from Kubrick two weeks after sending him a crudely shot audition video. "He said he'd send me some words and to put those on tape without any direction. I did that, and next thing I knew I was called to come out there.
"The words he sent me, there wasn't a lot of punctuation, no descriptions, mainly longwinded answers to a drill instructor. What I got from it was that he (Private Pyle) was a weak-minded guy who was going to have to go through some kind of transformation. At the time I had no idea what kind of transformation that was. I had no idea that he was going to become a killing machine."
Before heading off to England, D'Onofrio gained 13 kilograms for the role. When he got there, however, "I looked like I could kick everyone's arse, so I had to put on about another 40 pounds (18 kilograms) before I looked obese. I'm a big dude, I'm six foot four (193 centimetres) and my natural weight is like 210 (95 kilograms)."
As made patently clear by the three-part documentary Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures, which was made by Kubrick's brother-in-law Jan Harlan and has just finished its run on SBS, Kubrick had a formidable reputation as an unforgiving taskmaster. Shelley Duvall proclaimed she would never work with Kubrick again after making The Shining. D'Onofrio didn't witness the fireworks that prompted Duvall's reaction.
"I didn't see that kind of behaviour. There was one actor on the set - it wasn't Matthew and I won't tell you who it was - who tried to challenge Stanley and he lost the battle. My perception is that Stanley expected people to work like he did, just do the f---ing job and don't talk about it.
"He wasn't into talking much. I thank the Lord for that because I'm not the most socially adept person in the world myself, so it suited me at the time.
"The first six months weren't the most comfortable because I was gaining the weight, learning how to be a soldier, to load a f---ing gun and trying to figure out this part, so I was just doing my homework, showing up and doing as best I could."
On set, Kubrick said little about story or acting. "I think he was one of those directors who did his job in the casting," says D'Onofrio. But he recalls one thing Kubrick did say: "Real is one thing, interesting is another".
Kubrick would leave D'Onofrio and Modine, whose Private Joker is a sympathetic foil to Pyle, to their own devices.
"Matthew and I would make that s--t up, like tying the laces, making the bed, the conversation about needing to try harder. Stanley would stand there watching, let Matthew and I improvise and then after a while, when he was happy, he'd shoot it. He allowed us to invent that stuff. He'd send us away, tell us to make it better, to make it more interesting. In a way it was a documentary record of what we were doing, in another way it was performance."
The gut-wrenching scene that ends D'Onofrio's role in the film was the last scene he shot, after 13 months on the set.
He has fond memories of weekends at Kubrick's house. "The most social I ever got was on weekends when he'd invite Matthew and me to his house to watch films in his projection room. Occasionally I'd ask questions about a film. I've always been interested in cameras and he loved to talk about that stuff."
After Kubrick's death in 1999, D'Onofrio was invited to talk at a wake in Los Angeles organised by the Directors Guild of America. The ceremony began with a tape Kubrick had made of himself accepting the D. W. Griffith award a few years earlier. "That was the first time I'd seen him since Full Metal Jacket and I could see how much he'd aged already and that was a few years before he died."
Full Metal Jacket screens on Sunday at 9.30pm on SBS.

In the konsole, try the command "cd /mnt/" and see what's listed there (ls), hda* are harddrives but it could be listed as sda_removable or something along those lines.
OK. I am using a dell inspiron 640m. It has an SD card slot that I would like to be able to use to save some configuration settings as well as driver info. My problem (do to my inexperiance with LINUX) is that I can not tell if the BT can see the SD card reader. I have tried running various commands (lspci, fdisk -l) as well as running startx and trying to look in device manager (or equivalent). The truth is, I have no idea what I am looking for. When I insert a USB key it gets detected right away and a window pops showing the contents. When I remove and insert the SD card nothing happens. I assume this is because there are no drivers for the SD reader. Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed from here? I need to eventually get my wireless card working (Dell wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n WLAN mini-card) but I need to be able to save the info. Dual boot is not an option since this is my work laptop. Any help would be appreciated.
In the konsole, try the command "cd /mnt/" and see what's listed there (ls), hda* are harddrives but it could be listed as sda_removable or something along those lines.
Thanks for responding!
I followed you suggestion and came up with the following:
sdb1_removable/ **This I assume is my USB pen drive**
I am not sure why I have so many sda*/ fields. This particular laptop has a single SATA HDD (120GB). The HDD does have 2 partitions (dell and the C. Also, this does not have a floppy drive. I hope this helps.
Perhaps someone could tell me; is it possible to browse to a device and view the contents like I would in Windows through Explorer? Or is there a My Computer equivilant?
Just go "cd /mnt/sdb1_removable" and then "ls" and you'll probably find it's the right one.
BT2 mounts the HDD partitions as read only but the USB device you will be able to write to so just go with that, that's how I do it but with my iPod.
As for a Explorer-like interface I'm unsure, I mean there has to be one but I've never used it myself. I just browse the directories with the konsole and then either open the files from there or from within the application itself, providing it has a GUI.
Application -> Internet -> Web Browser -> Konqueror
or something along those lines.
"Konqueror is the file manager for the K Desktop Environment. It supports basic file management on local UNIX filesystems, from simple cut/copy and paste operations to advanced remote and local network file browsing."
SATA drives will show up as sdXx. The sdb1_removable will be your SD card. By executing a "mount" command, you'll see what is mounted. Many machines come with hidden partitions that have recovery programs and data. These partitions usually don't show up natively in Windows, so you may not realize that they exist.

For millions of consumers, it's worth paying a premium to buy baked goods made from this elemental flour, ground on stone as it has been for thousands of years.
But we have some bad news: Most flour sold in the USA as "stone-ground" probably never rubbed up against a piece of stone.
Stone-ground can mean anything from wheat berries first cracked on stone mills and then ground to flour on rollers to finished flour passed over a stone after it has been ground. "Or it could mean it's just a nice name," says Jeff Gwirtz, technical services director of the International Association of Operative Millers. "It's more a conceptual, warm, touchy crunchy feel." (Related story: Wheels turn, sparks fly)
Grinding on stone is slow and expensive. A typical stone mill can grind about 2,000 pounds of flour an hour. The miller must stay beside the mill through the entire process, smelling the air to make sure the stones aren't getting too hot and touching and tasting the flour to make sure it is not too coarse or too fine.
A modern roller mill can grind more than 3 million pounds of flour a day, all of it computer-controlled.
No one tracks sales of 100% genuine ground-on-stone, whole-wheat flour. (You can't really make white flour on stone.) But it is a sprinkle next to the 140 million pounds of flour milled a day in the USA.
"Stone-ground flour is really quite rare," says Joshua Dorf, owner of Stone-Buhr Flour Co. in San Francisco, which despite its 100-year-old name doesn't mill its flour on stones. Milling plants have offered to pass roller-ground flour over a stone so Dorf could sell it as stone-ground.
He declined: "I just found it ludicrous."
'Stone-ground' seeks definition
For many big companies, stone-ground is just a marketing phrase.
General Mills sells a Gold Medal stone-ground flour, but company spokeswoman Kirstie Foster says that means only that the "flour products have passed through an actual stone mill at least once."
Milling giant ConAgra won't disclose proprietary aspects of flour production. Spokeswoman Amy Danis says ConAgra mills its stone-ground flour "within the FDA requirements."
But there are no federal requirements. "There are some things that are considered puffery," says Mary Engle of the Federal Trade Commission. It's perfectly legal. Just like "just like homemade" or "natural," "stone-ground" doesn't have to mean anything, she says. "It's in the eye of the beholder."
That just didn't sit right with Hodgson Mill in Gainesville, Mo., one of a few dozen stone mills left in the USA. The mill grinds much of its flour on five sets of pink-granite stone mills, each about the size of a 30-inch tire and weighing 300 pounds.
It's a lot of work, Hodgson's Paul Kirby says. For example, "you've got to take the stones apart and sharpen them every 90 days."
In 2001, Hodgson asked the Food and Drug Administration to define "stone-ground." The agency has declined, citing a lack of evidence that the words "stone-ground" on labels matter to consumers.
Urvashi Rangan, a food labeling expert at Consumers Union, disagrees. " 'Stone-ground' means it's ground by stone. It's really unfortunate that the FDA thinks consumers are too ignorant to understand that," she says.
But does stone grinding really make any difference? The story going around in the 1970s, when things such as stone-ground flour and bean sprouts first entered the mainstream, was that stone mills are slow so the flour stays cool, while roller mills are fast and heat the flour up. Heat, the story went, kills vitamins. So stone-ground was supposed to be more nutritious.
Well, says Kendall McFall, an instructor of milling science at Kansas State University in Manhattan, stone grinding may be romantic, but it's not any cooler than roller mills.
Let the truth be known
A study by the Center for Food Technological Research Institute in Mysore, India, found that stone-ground flour reached temperatures as high as 194 degrees, and roller-milled flour got only as high as 95. The researchers found that stone-ground flour lost more essential amino and fatty acids.
But baking bread typically reaches 200 degrees inside, so worrying about the milling temperature seems silly, McFall says.
In the end, consumers just want to be told the truth, says product image guru Katie Paine of KDPaine & Partners in Durham, N.H. She cites research that found 70% of Americans have at some point decided not to buy from a company because of questionable ethics. "We want people to tell the truth. And we're not going to be happy if you don't."

By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY
After more than seven years of discussion, the Food and Drug Administration proposed regulations Thursday that would allow the commercial use of genetically engineered animals.
Such animals are genetically altered — either their genes are changed or genes from another animal are added — for a specific purpose. The FDA states that such animals either produce drugs; serve as models for human disease; produce industrial or consumer products, such as fiber; or have improved food-use qualities, such as being more nutritious.
ON THE WEB: Read the FDA statement
The only genetically engineered creature available for sale in the USA is an aquarium fish that glows in the dark. Examples currently in the laboratory stage include:
• Salmon that grow more quickly and efficiently.
• Goats that produce drugs in their milk or blood.
• Chickens that produce drugs in the whites of eggs.
• Cows that cannot get the brain-wasting mad cow disease.
• Pigs with organs that can be transplanted into humans without rejection.
• Hypoallergenic dogs and cats.
The proposed regulations would require FDA review of each application to ensure that any food sold for human consumption would be safe and that the animal's health would not be damaged in the process.
Although the potential is huge, the number of groups working on this research is small, says Jaydee Hanson from the Center for Food Safety. "You're talking maybe five or so companies and 10 or so universities."
The FDA will take public comments until Nov. 18 before finalizing the regulations.
Genetically engineered plants, although opposed by such groups as Greenpeace because of consumer safety concerns, are widely used in U.S. agriculture. Genetically engineered microorganisms are often used to make drugs.
Engineered animals have been much more controversial, and the term "Frankenstein animals" has been bandied about by the European news media and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, among others. These regulations have been in the works since the last days of the Clinton administration.
The rules wouldn't require the labeling of meat or milk from engineered animals, something the advocacy group Consumers Union finds "incomprehensible." The group is also concerned that milk from cows engineered to produce antibiotics would not be labeled, senior scientist Michael Hansen says.
The FDA is instituting the rules under the New Animal Drug portion of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In effect, the agency is saying that adding genes is like giving drugs to animals.

So between the time you were filling in for Michael Jackson, it was 1984?
MICHAEL: I was doing the boat racing. We did that race in honor of a young girl, Alex Deford. You know, Frank Deford the writer? We did it in honor of his daughter, Alex, who died of Cystic Fibrosis at 8 years of age. And ABC 20/20 covered it. Tom Brokaw was in the boat. We raised $250,000 for Cystic Fibrosis. Largest fundraiser they had ever had. So it worked out really well. We did a Juvenile Diabetes run back East; we did a run for the Statute of Liberty Foundation, Miami and New York.
TONY: So you did that from 1983 to 1987?
MICHAEL: So I did that basically from 1983 to 1987, got out in 1987 and was guest hosting radio shows and doing that kind of stuff until 1989 when I got the call.
TONY: How did you get the guest hosting spots?
MICHAEL: Because I would call people – I called radio stations, sent them my tapes. Always a good idea to keep your tapes. So I would send my tapes and you know, some people would bite. A station in San Diego actually had me in for three weeks guest hosting. At the beginning of the three weeks, they said they didn't have a spot, and at the end of three weeks, they offered me a job.
TONY: So you did it all yourself – you didn't have an agent or anything?
MICHAEL: Didn't really have an agent, you know what agents do. Agents say, "Call me when you get the job, and I'll take 10 percent."
TONY: That's right. When you get a job, sign up with me. [Laughter]
MICHAEL: So that's basically how I got into talk radio. I campaigned for my dad in 1976 and 1980.
TONY: Did you ever consider being a lobbyist since your dad was President?
MICHAEL: No, I really didn't. I never thought about that. Never even thought about it.
TONY:?That's how all these guys make money now.
MICHAEL:?Yeah, boy did I blow it. No, I didn't really think about it. I mean I was doing what I was doing in sales.
TONY: Knowing what I know about your dad, he probably wouldn't have put up with that anyway.
MICHAEL: No, he wouldn't have – he absolutely wouldn't have. It's not going to happen in my family. But, no, I campaigned – I say on my radio to this day, there are a lot of radio talk show hosts who talk about politics and campaigning, but there's really only one of them who has actually walked all the precincts, actually knocked on all the doors, who has actually been in winning campaigns, who really gets it and understands it. So I look at things through the eyes of somebody who really has been there – whether it's the gubernatorial races of the 1960s and early 1970s, Presidential race in 1976 or 1980 or 1984, you know, the perspective that I bring to these things is completely different than what anybody else does, and I kind of shake my head sometimes when I hear all of these people re-casting my father in their own image or likeness.
TONY: Yes, I bet you do. How do you keep your mouth shut?
MICHAEL:?I don't.
TONY:?Yeah, that's why you have your radio show.
MICHAEL:?I really don't – I have a column I write every week; thereagan.com.
TONY:?For News Max?
MICHAEL:?It's on News Max, but it goes to about 400 newspapers. And it's on – Human Events carries it, News Max covers it, Worldwide Daily gets that.
TONY:?How did you get that?
MICHAEL: A group out of Kagel Cartoons actually is the syndicator. They do a lot of stuff besides cartoons, and I was one of their first people coming on. Now they have about 400 newspapers – I make no money on it, but it's all about branding.
TONY:?You don't make money on it?
MICHAEL:?I make a few bucks, but not that much.
TONY: I thought syndicated columns made a lot?
MICHAEL:?Not anymore – too much competition. The Internet kills you. I mean, before the papers get it, the Internet's got it all over the place.
TONY: Does Garthwiathe (editor of Newsmax) pay you anything?
MICHAEL: Not that much, but I look at it more as a billboard. It's just branding. You're out there. People think, "Where are you?" I'm still there. I put my column up and send it out to news outlets every week.
TONY: How do you do that?
MICHAEL:?Just e-mail it to them. E-mail it to ABC, NBC, CBS box, CNN.
TONY: Whether they want it or not?
MICHAEL: Whether they wanted it or not and sometimes – what I'd do because I do a lot of CNN and FOX, a lot of times it will be because of my column or they'll ask me a question based on that column.
TONY:?Do you get paid for being a Fox news analyst?
MICHAEL: I used to get paid on that, and then they dropped me as a contributor, which is probably good because it allows me now to do CNN and the other outlets, rather than just Fox.
TONY: Are you on "Reliable Sources?"
MICHAEL: No, I haven't been on there. That's really interesting because that's a weekend show though. See, I made a promise to my wife on January 20, 1989, when my dad went. I looked at her and I said "done my last weekend unless you say it is okay." Because I laugh at both parties always talking about the children and the family; how both parties are for the family, but neither one of the parties want you home on weekends. They've always got an event for you to go to, and if you don't stop it, it never ends. So I can actually count on three fingers how many weekends I've done since that time. And I do, if Colleen okays it. A couple of years ago, I was doing an interview with the L.A. Times. And, my daughter Ashley was with me there doing some stuff in my office when she walked in and the L.A. Times reporter looked at her and said, "Tell me something about your dad, right now, that you think I need to know but I don't know." And Ashley looked at her and said, "He saves weekends for the family."

Bassinets shouldn't look like poofy 1980s dresses. They have designed this streamlined and practical bassinet to keep the focus on your gorgeous new baby.
My Collections:
Finally! Someone realized that not every new parent like sixteen layers of ruffles in either pink or blue. I really like the sleek lines and clean colors. There are many, MANY ways to accommodate a baby.

From an access control perspective, Why even separate your servers from
your LAN if you are just going to dual nic the servers on the OPT1
network connecting to your LAN. If the servers are compromised they
have direct access to your LAN that way without any access control from

A Wondrous Show: The Sandoz Collection at A La Vielle Russie
Back to the Blog... | Post Feedback | Author Bio | Printer-Friendly
Mechanical Wonders: Antique Automatons and Contemporary Watchmaking is a must-see exhibit, now showcased at one of New York City's most jewel-like gallery-shops, A La Vieille Russie; the show is co-sponsored by renowned watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier, one of the most prestigious of the Swiss haute horlogerie brands of collectible watches. The exhibit opened last week and will continue through December 10 (see below for hours and other particulars).
This astonishing show, while aimed at watch collectors and connoisseurs of automatons and Fabergé objets, is a treat for anyone who loves beautiful decorative objects. The show offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the art of watchmaking, and many of the pieces on exhibit are being seen here in America for the first time: There are mechanical marvels, exquisite "trinkets" from Fabergé (including the majestic Imperial Peacock and Swan eggs, pictured below), and masterful, contemporary timepiece creations of Parmigiani Fleurier.
The pieces on display are from the exclusive Maurice Sandoz Collection, which was restored by Michel Parmigiani. Sandoz, a writer, composer, and collector of timepieces and automatons, had an eye for exceptional pieces. Upon his arrival in the United States in 1941, he began to cultivate a close relationship with A La Vieille Russie. Through this collaboration, in 1954, Sandoz acquired the celebrated Imperial Swan Egg, created by the jeweler extraordinaire, Peter Carl Fabergé. The Sandoz Collection now consists of several pieces by this legendary Russian jeweler, including the Miniature Piano, the Imperial Peacock Egg, the Youssoupoff Clock, the Golden Peacock, and of course, the Imperial Swan Egg -- all of which are on display throughout the exhibit. Other wondrous items include a perfume "gun," a miniature sewing kit, etuis and bibelots of all type, cane handles, magicians boxes, vanity mirrors, and the like. One is more staggeringly stunning than the next.
Michel Parmigiani has always been committed to the centuries-old tradition of watchmaking excellence and today his company produces exclusive mechanical timepieces. Each piece within the Sandoz Collection boasts a variety of unique features. In tribute to this event, Parmigiani chose to create two timepieces, each of which reproduces a particular mechanism from the collection, honoring two of Sandoz' pocket watches—an oval watch with telescopic hands and a Perrin Frères pocket watch. Both of these exquisite specimens date from the 1800s.
Parmigiani's homage to the former is a timepiece with telescopic hands that run around the radii of an oval-shaped dial. As they reach the 12 and the 6 marks, each hand extends to its greatest length and when each reaches the 3 and the 9 marks, each compresses. Within these two hands—in order to effectuate this intricate elongation and shortening—there are sixty different parts! The second, the watch honoring the Perrin Frères, is an elaborate minute repeater with cathedral chimes, with the time displayed in a half-moon aperture with hours passing by—a reverential nod to the inventiveness of the master watchmakers of the past. On the back of the calibre, the blued-steel cathedral chimes come in a highly original serpentine shape around the movement, perfectly visible through the sapphire crystal case-back.
A La Vieille Russie has remained a family enterprise since its founding in Kiev in 1851; the gallery has been at its present location on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street since 1961, and is currently under the direction of brothers Messrs. Paul and Peter L. Schaffer and Paul's son, Dr. Mark A. Schaffer. Over the years, among its customers are many celebrated aficionados of fine collectibles, like Queen Maria of Romania, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and King Farouk of Egypt.
The exhibition was originally scheduled to run through November 26 and has now been exetnded to December 10; it is open daily, Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, 12 p.m. t 5 p.m. (Closed on Thanksgiving, November 24th). There is an admission fee, $15.00, to benefit the Jazz Foundation of America. A La Vieille Russie is located at 781 Fifth Avenue (at 59th Street), New York City; 212-752-1727

Leech Lake MN Homes on Lakeshore: A Walleye Petting Zoo Near Your Cabin
Here are some Leech Lake MN properties that were posted to the MLS recently:
Check out ALL Leech Lake lakeshore properties for sale.
If you don't want to read all of this, you can just start browsing browsing for cabins by clicking on thumbnails or the above link.. I don't blame you. You just want to catch fish. You are better off buying some fine Minnesota Leech Lake lakeshore right now so you can start walleye fishing right away.
Every time I pass through Walker MN, I like to stop and visit the friendly Minnesota walleyes . For a small fee, (the cost of a Minnesota fishing license) you can pet the nice walleyes as they come up to your boat at night. It is so fun to watch them eat black leeches out of your hand. This is a family event you won't want to miss. Your grandchildren will remember it forever.
Or, you may prefer to kill those nice fish and eat them. They are so easy, it hardly seems like sportsmanship. This is another great reason for buying Leech Lake MN homes and lakeshore. It's more like mass murder with tasty victims. This lake has become the premier Minnesota lake for walleye production. I am not going to tell you how to find them or what to use for bait, because I think you can figure it out. In fact, the walleyes will be chasing your boat. If you go too slow, you might catch your limit too soon. The limit is four, with a protected slot limit of 18-24 inches. You can keep one fish that is over 24 inches. However, buy waterfront here and I might start telling secrets.
I knew of an old woman (now deceased) who used to throw big beef bones off of the end of the dock at her Walker Bay cabin and she claimed she could catch walleyes any time she wanted to. Please note that I am not recommending this or any quasi-legal fishing methods.
However, I will tell you how to catch the crappies and bluegills. Just set your boat in a shallow bay and cast jigs with waxworms. I like to use corn. It's cheaper, and it really works. Also, there are some nice largemouth bass in Leech Lake. Check out Leech Lake ricebeds to find these bucketmouths.
Lakeshore and Homes on Leech Lake for Sale
Right now, there are about 100 Leech Lake MN lake homes and cabins on the Northstar MLS systemn (at the time of this writing.) Are there more that aren't on the MLS? Well, I don't know if we should share our favorite house-finding sites with the unwashed masses, but for you, my friend, we might just show you where the best ones are.
The average Leech lake homes and cabins here cost about $600,000, but the little "panhouses" and "bluegill cabins" as we call them, can be found here too. About a dozen or so are less than 300K. Municipalities along the lakeshore include Walker, Federal Dam, and Cass Lake. It doesn't matter which town you buy your next Leech Lake home in. It's all the same lake, silly!

Customer Reviews
Perhaps the best game I have played on my iPod 4G . It has amazing graphics, provides hours of gaming and recent bug fixes allow a much better game visualization. Music is amazing and controls are great and easy to understand and use. On the other hand, a lot of energy is required to run such a "heavy" application plus the same story again and again creates quickly satiety. Being free is a huge bonus! 4/5
Could be better
The most frustrating thing is that even though the gameplay is descent and the graphics very good, the story lacks continuity..After the first bloodline it's the same over and over again..
Infinity blade
Very good game, worth purchasing. But I would have liked more variety of landscape and adversaries before getting to and finally killing the god king.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Isolation between rooms are pure. I heard quite clear what our neighbours are talking.
Nice view to harbour and sea. Excelent grilled food on 12th floor. There was no printer in whole hotel!!!
We went to this hotel for the first time. Good food on the 20th floor, the design of the room was great (delux room) Great variety of activities. The staff at the reception desk was very unfriendly and not helpful. Nobody helped us with the luggage. It was very cold in the room, even after they brought us the heater. Shampoo and gel is very cheap and not acceptable for a 4star hotel. The floor in the bathroom would get very wet after taking the shower. How do you suppose to drink the beverage out of the minibar if there is no bottle opener? Again, the major problem with employees. We are not coming back.
Convenience to restaurants, bars and shops in Old Town 1. When I arrived, I was assigned a room in the old non-air conditioned section which was very small. There were two single bids that had to be tied together by the hotel staff to make a bed, large enough to be comfortable. I asked the front desk staff to let me know if there was a cancellation in the new section of the hotel. There was and I was promptly notified. The hotel staff has always been courteous and attentative.
very good location: a few minutes' walk to the old town, the ferry terminal and other major attractions, accessible also by public transport - take bus no.5 and 8 and it's just 3 stops from the train station. We lived in the new wing and the room is air-conditioned. Good breakfast too. We would expect improvements to minor details such as provison of body lotion, shower caps, laundry service for a 4-star hotel. The hotel gives only a small packet of hair and shower gel for each guest.
Location. Beautiful seaview. Bathroom.
Free wifi is not available in all the rooms. The lobby is crowded with web surfers.
I liked the design and layout of the Hotel also the facilities were first class restaurants were excellent and the most important thing was that the staff were helpfull, friendly and professional!
Mostly friendly, at least correct staff. I booked a deluxe-room with a wonderful view on the harbor and the Curonian spit. Breakfast was very good and included in the price, and so was Wifi in the rooms. The room-safe was locked when I arrived, so I called the reception. They gave me a code with which I could open it. After I had set my own code and locked the safe, it was still possible to open the safe with the pre-set code I got from the reception. When I asked for this to be changed, the receptionist couldn't see the problem and just gave me the safe key, which was really useless, because the safe still could be opened by everyone who knows the pre-set code. This is not what I would call "safe".
Nice view on the city and the sea of Klaipeda from the bar/restaurant on top of the building.
Nothing!!!!! Breakfast was poor, room was not cleaned, toilet bowl was broken, WiFi did'n,t work, room calling for capital repairs, I hope that I never come back to this hotel.
Large, comfortable rooms. Reasonable location. Log fire in Reception! Rooms need refurbishing. Now rather expensive for a basic hotel
Wonderful restaurant with armenian cusine. Big rooms with kitchen. Good location - not far from port and old city. Good parking.
we stayed for 2 nights. rooms were not cleaned during our stay. no hot water on the second morning. receptionist had difficutlies in finding the hotel on the city map, not to talk of directons or tourist information.
The room was very nice and spacious, the breakfast was also very nice. Also location was good to old town and also not far from good shopping mall The spa room was not prepared and to cold to enjoy
Room interior, Restaurant
Kitchen in the room, free parking and free high-speed cable internet (free WiFi was not available anywhere). When we arrived there was a Russian-style wedding party in the hotel's restaurant. On our attempts to find 2nd restaurant in the hotel the party's host (or "tamada" in Russian) sweared on us like "what are you $@# searching here for?!".
This hotel was amazing. The room was gorgeous and had excellent appliances. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel restaurant is amazing Armenian food and I could have eaten there every day. The Turkish coffee was especially delicious. It is a bit far from the downtown area, so be prepared to walk for 10-15 minutes.
Very well equipped room, convenient free parking, free WiFi, professional staff, nice restaurant (make sure you taste the Armenian wines!). We have stayed at three other hotels in Klaipeda before, but we will definitely come back to this one from now on. The only one disappointment was the breakfast which was served to the room: the plates were obviously prepared on the previous day and kept in the fridge.
Beautiful, modern, well equipped room. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Good location. Helpful staff. Good restaurant. Across from sculpture park and near old town Klaipeda.
Very good restaurant and design of hotel no air-condition
I liked the staff, very comfortable hotel. We came with kids but that was not a problem. We had very big room. Most of all I liked design of hotel. Seems that hotel being recently redecorated and everything is cleen and fresh.
Spacious room with a kitchen. Nice modern decoration.
Hotel was not full so there was space to go to the breakfast. Hotel was crowded employee but they were concentrated to discuss with each other, service was not on the top on their list. Breakfast was stuffy like one day used sock. I suggest to chef to visit some good hotel to see what is the fresh and good breakfast. This hotel quality is on B&B level.
Big suite Perfect location A/C broken, customer service is lacking. We got back late to the room and found that the room was hot, and the air conditioning was broken. The hotel was fully booked for the festival "Juro Svente", so the staff was unable to relocate us to another room. We could not open the windows to cool the room because there was a load restaurant and busy square below, with smokers under the window. The room was hot and we were stuck. The person at the desk explained that others were having similar issues, and offered a fan to cool a family of 4. Upon checkout, we explained that the reason we booked the hotel is because it had air conditioning, and that we had an uncomfortable night. We were offered a "soft drink" for our terrible night. We asked for the manager and waited a long time. She was very friendly, but not very helpful. In the end, after explaining that our expectations were not met for a "luxury" hotel, the manager offered nothing. After a half-hour of back-and-forth, "It's our fault that we let them know earlier that it was broken" she finally offered a 20% discount, but because my card was already charged she would need to wire the refund to my account. That was a week ago, and I still haven't seen it.
Nice, spacious room. Staff were not just friendly and helpful, but all seemed to be going out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Food was good too
Room, reseption service
Very pleasant approach of the hotel stuff, excellent buffet breakfast When I booked a hotel I expected ho have a room with one king bed, while finally there were two beds, one beside other, what wasn't very comfortable in fact.
very functional and isolated rooms breakfast not included
big comfortable room, very friendly hotel staff iron in the room was a poor quality
Good and qute location and in city downtown. Free access to WiFi internet in each room.
poor breakfast
quiet and nice place
It was very nice!) design of the rooms is very interesting, staff is very kind
Room was clean and although a little sparse it was neat. Reception staff hepful in making suggestions of what to do and see. Kitchen staff was very helpful and accommodating. This is billed as a business hotel. There was a group of people in the bar when we arrived. It was a Saturday and as time wore on the crowd became more raucus. This uproar went on until about 2AM It was complicated because the rooms are not air conditioned and since Klaipeda was in the middle of a heat wave, we had to keep the windows open
Recently renovated in a very nice way. Nice courtyard where breakfast is served and very helpful and friendy staff At night the corridors were almost in the dark
The lady at the check in came with us to our car so that she can speak to the police and grant us access to the road which was closed because of the festival. That was great! Yes, the breakfast at the hotel is rather lacking choice, the food is cold and the overall presentation is insufficient for this type of hotel and price.
Clean and nice hotel, good breakfast, parking place Wifi could be better
Based in old town Poor breakfast, cold floor in bathroom
Reception assist very well.
Very Quick Check in and a pleasant smile ,All staff very freindly.
Spacious and light room, comfortable bed, silence. Central location in the city center.
staff, room size, good restaurant, the hotel needs a bussines center
Lovely hotel. Nice reception but sometimes funny behaviour. They have not taken our postcard to the post?!?!?!
Excellent location, 5 mins walk to old town (footbridge completed in July). Adjacent to ferry terminal to visit Curonian Spit. Well positioned for local restaurants. Good views over sea and waterways. Excellent venue for ship watchers! Breakfast was disappointing. Limited choice. Wifi did not work in our room so had to sit in reception. Would benefit from tea and coffee making facilities in room.
Everything was clean. Breakfest had very little choices. Mayby msome porridge, fruit sallade... It was really cold in the room, small heater helped a bit. No wireless internet, or at least give longer line for internet.
Great value for money. Excellent place, room, service and breakfast. Diffucult to find. Not enough parking places.
Difficut to find the proper way to come there by car, not clear how to get there
Close to old town and ferry port. Nice view. Nice new hotel building. Minifridge in the room. Direct bridge to old town is temporarily removed for renovation, so you have to go around the fortress.
It was easy to walk to Old Town (5 min.), New Town (10 min.) and ferry (5 min). TV reception in my room was limited to one Lithuanian channel.
The staff were lovely people who did all that was needed to make you feel at home. The rooms were very clean and well appointed. The hotel was quite and the beds very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and I would recommend this hotel to my friends. It is also in the Old part of Kleipeda close to the market square and the local park and gardens. None
Clean and tidy. a good brakefast. Not to far from city center. Good value for what we paid for.
Приветливый стафф , чистота и порядок , центр города рядом.
The reception is very kind, and have free pack deposit. The breakfast is the best and it contains fresh fish. Maybe they can improve their English...
The reception staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful, being able to answer all my varied questions, proving to be well informed about Klaipeda and Palanga I was very happy being at this hotel
Very friendly, very clean, an excellent stay.
breakfast, administrator no lift
Best breakfast on our trip in Lithuania. The wifi wasn't really working. The street in front of the hotel is very busy, so if you need a quiet room when you sleep, ask for one that is not facing it.
There is no elevator in the hotel and the guest should take up his baggage alone.
the breakfast is quite good, the rooms are clean the hotel is not prepared for handicaped people: stairs without lift in the entrance.
I love the small dining area which has good food and an excellent COOK.Great location for anyone on business. Major negative for me the smokey smell in the rooms. They need to be completely deodorized to get rid of the smell and ban smoking completely.
very cosy hotel, with nice interier and exterior. Very good quality for your money. Not bad location. Good breakfast and nice surprisevly nice restaurant. Was not mentioned that it is next to the big railroad station. Also no a/c nor fans in the room.
Close to the place where need to be; quiet place, nice view
This hotel is good with spacy clean rooms. Located close to the railway station. Breakfast was good, staff was friendly. Just a 20 minute walk from the centre of Klaipeda. During night, sounds of the nearby railway might be annoying. The restaurant of the hotel is quite small, and other restaurants are not in the neighborhood.
Good location, less 10 minutes walk from train/bus station. Food was good for dinner and breakfast.
Very kind to us. Carrying suitcases up stairs etc. Opened the kitchen one hour early to make an omelette for us before we rushed to the train. No lifts, no guest laundry.
Staff was friendly, and helpful, trying to understand our request even though there was a language barrier. Wished hotel resturant would have offered water with meal, or refills of coffee.
Location and staff. -
Nice and attentive staff, good breakfast, big rooms Limited access to the Internet, poor assortment of personal sanitary accessories (no cotton pads/sticks, no sleepers, shower gel from a dispenser...)
Reception was not staffed upon arrival in the mid evening hours. I waited 15 minutes to be attended. No hot water in the evening.
bedding was exelent there is no hair dryer in room
nice clear hotel and rooms, perfect and quickly check-in, good and quiet place
There is no blanket cover in the set of bed-clothes. Instead of it there is a bed sheet.
Easy to find, at least if you arrive from Kaunas :) Parking was easy. Free internet in the lobby. Excellent breakfast. The mosquitos in the room. Parking was quite full (well, we always found a spot). Rooms not very big (at least for 3 persons).
Very helpful and friendly staff did everything they could to accomodate us. We would return to this hotel any time!
Very comfortable location, near is port where easy can order ferry, near is old town, comfortable parking, very nice restaurant and rooms No, I have no complain.
room and bathroom (!) were not clean
Good location, nice staff internet connection only in lobby, would love to have in my room as I have business travels
Great value for money. Nice staff. Clean and large room.
The room is nice og clean. The staff is friendly and generally helpful. 1. The power and hot water was turned off by the hotel as a demonstration against the government's increase of VAT. However, even though that the hotel staff did it themselves (yes, the hotel actually cut off the power and hot water themselves!!!), they did not give a warning to the hotel guests. It is infuriating that the hotel switches off such things without a warning to the guests.
Nice and cozy hotel next to the habour, only few minutes walk to city centre, very good service, very good breakfast
Fabulous location right by old ferry port, lovely building, big spacious room with air-con, minibar, etc., and helpful and pleasant staff.
Location near beach Friendly staff Poor breakfast - especially in weekends
They were extremely helpful despite my being in and out during the night and early hours of the morning for work purposes - so I want to thank them for that. The lack of carpet in the noisy corridors when I was running between car and room in the early hours.
Hotel staff is very friendly not enough shower gel, poor cleanliness
No English speaking staff when we arrived, staff did not understand that we wanted to check in, and not check out. Clean and simple rooms
Nothing special. It was ok. The breakfast was expensive.
Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Free secure parking was a great addition. Location was also perfect. Just five minutes walk from the center and ferry pier to Spit. If you wonder what the slight sweet odor that hangs around the area from time, that is the local Brewery next door. You can visit a guided tour there if you wish so. Nope. Everything worked out perfectly.
Near the old city Don't go there by night as you can't find the 'hotel'. Small sign at gate. At night there were only a receptionist would couldn't speak english, just russian.
Silent at night, comfortable beds. Close to the city centre and the Curonian Spit. Stale sandwhices at breakfast
friendly staff;the position
Breakfast must be improved
Very friendly and helpful staff. Very convenient parking. Great sauna and spa. Good value for money. IMHO, the restaurant is their weak spot. With daily room service and airconditioning they would be a 4* hotel.
Friendly staff (although limited English), spotless, modern, cosy and comfortable, welcoming. A good place to relax in for a few days
Nice personnel, smiling and kind, very professional. Room was clean, elegant and relaxing. Easy but effective breakfast A bit far from city centre, but near to bus stop
Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Rooms are very nice and clean, especially Lux. The best option for that price.
It vas a nice quiet place and not big and crowding.
I like the place where hotel is placed, not far from city. Interesting, modern interior and nice staff.
Very friendly and helpful personnel, the rooms are clean and comfortable.
..everything what you`ll need you`ll find here.. modern and cosy rooms ..a good cookery\breakfast and a really frendly, helpfull staff! ..highly recommended!
We liked this great place very much. There you'll find nice spacious rooms and very friendly personnel
The rate offer is very good. Nice, big rooms, enough space to land children on the floor. Restaurant OK. All in all perfect for a short stay (we spent a night).
Everything was very good. No bad points.
everything was excellent!! - the stuff, breakfast, the room... You feel like in 5stars hotel:) little bit hard to find cause when you googled the adress for the hotel they navigate you to other place! we spend 1 hour find the right place so beware about this
New facilities, exelent staff, clean rooms, good breakfast.

University of Minnesota, Morris
Campus Resource and Planning Committee/Strategic Planning Committee
November 9, 2006
Present: Andy Lopez, Sara Haugen, LeAnn Dean, Sarah Mattson,
Bryan Herrmann, Lowell Rasmussen, Sharon Van Eps, Joe Basel,
Pete Wyckoff, Arne Kildegaard, Pareena Lawrence, Ken Hodgson,
Jonathan Bringewatt
Absent: Dan Moore, Cassie McMahon, Maddy Maxeiner
Guests: Nancy Helsper, Gary Strei, Troy Goodnough, Sandy Olson-Loy,
Henry Fulda, T.J. Ross, Julie Phelps
(In these minutes: Clarification of Institutional Data, approval of past meetings minutes, information on sustainability endeavors)
Andy started with a few announcements:
1) Chancellor Johnson hand-delivered the strategic positioning document to the Twin Cities along with a cover letter. The document will be posted to the UMM Web site;
2) Andy asked the CRPC committee to start thinking of next semester and get their schedules to Adele so meetings times and rooms can be scheduled. Andy said the committee membership would remain the same.
Minutes from the October 12th and October 19th meetings were distributed via e-mail before the meeting. There were no corrections/comments to the minute; Andy asked for a motion to approve the minutes; Arne moved to approve the minutes and Jonathan seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Troy Goodnough, UMM sustainability coordinator discussed the sustainability statement. Troy said a sustainability committee would fit best as a subcommittee of the CRPC. The subcommittee would collect and analyze data, develop policy to maintain a sustainable UMM environment and support conservation courses. Arne asked if the committee members for the sustainability committee would be limited to CRPC members. Andy said this would not be necessary. Troy gave a list of potential members – approximately 19 members that could include grounds keepers, clerical, as well as faculty and P&A. Pete made a motion to create a subcommittee and Jonathan seconded the motion. Troy went on to say that UMM has had success in the sustainability initiatives to include plant facilities. Troy has a Word document that goes into more detail that he could send to the CRPC members. Pete said he would like to amend his original motion; he said more discussion would be needed. He asked if this would be an ad hoc committee and was also concerned about the number of committee members. LeAnn also asked for clarification that a subcommittee was not an adjunct committee. Jonathan expressed concern that a subcommittee might slow down the progress for sustainability (i.e., many meetings and data research) and asked how effective a subcommittee of this size could be. Sandy stated that she liked the master plan piece and thought the committees should be brought together to endorse the mission statement. She asked what the major components were of sustainability. Sara said that with more people on a committee there is more effectiveness. Bryan likes the idea of the multiple groups of people on the committee. Pete asked how many people in the room would be interested in discussing the sustainability committee in more detail. Sandy, Pete, Sara, Jonathan and Arne expressed interest. They will meet next week with Troy to continue the discussion of the sustainability committee.
Nancy Helsper distributed handouts and went over the background comments Andy had forwarded to her. Nancy said the data book has been consistent since 1982/1983. She discussed and explained what positions are counted for the data book purposes. Nancy confirmed Gary's earlier handouts and explained this count by the Twin Cities is a "snapshot" in time. Nancy went over some of the staff discrepancies (i.e, computing services, finance and food services). Pareena wanted to know if Nancy could send the CRPC members the information sheet Nancy had with this information. Nancy agreed to send it to the committee. Andy said if anyone had more questions for Nancy to let Andy know and he would relay them to Nancy and she would be invited to a subsequent meeting.
Sandy Olson-Loy provided three handouts relating to the UMM Residential Life Six-Year Capital Plan. Sandy gave a brief overview for Gay Hall. Henry said there needs to be a strong residential life component in the master plan. Henry went over the Six-Year Capital Plan and the items and estimated cost for plans. He said that plant facilities and residential life need to come together to enhance the campus. There is going to be a significant upgrade in furniture in Gay Hall. Also, the Office of Residential Life (ORL) is not handicap accessible and needs to be moved. The ORL will be moved to Gay Hall in the apartment that was used by faculty. T.J. went into more detail on the new furnishings. ORL had met with staff and three students to select two different options for the new furnishings. Next week there will be "showrooms" set up in Gay Hall for students and staff to view. T.J. said ORL would appreciate input.
Next week Lowell will discuss the master plan. Sandy and her staff would like to come back to cover the other items on their agenda.
Meeting adjourned at 11:10 a.m.
Minutes prepared by Adele Raymond
