American Idol 2009 winner Kris Allen took to the stage in U.S. Army Garrison Bamberg\'s Basics Building Oct. 3 wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans, sporting a pin near the left pocket. For more than an hour Allen and his band entertained crowd members with a mix of original material, classic rock and arrangements on current pop songs. The pin, a gift from Bamberg's Special Troops Battalion, 16th Sustainment Brigade bearing the unit crest, was presented to Allen before the show. The pin emphasized the reason for the concert, something Allen repeated throughout interviews and on stage. "It's such an honor to be here," Allen told the audience of Soldiers, family members and Army employees. "This is our thank you to you." Warner Barracks was just one stop on Allen and his band's United Service Organizations' tour, which began in the Netherlands and ended in Bamberg after several Germany installation concerts. Though no stranger to crowds and seemingly comfortable on stage, Allen said it took years of performing musically to become comfortable in front of an audience. "I've sung since I was a little kid," Allen said. "The singing in front of people and the songwriting thing didn't happen until probably my senior year of high school. I was always a really shy kid and it was hard for me to showcase that for people; it was a little weird for me." Allen said that as he grew older he gained confidence and overcame that timidity- somewhat. "It's still hard to sing for small groups," he said. In preparing for the USO tour, the band fo-cused on providing an entertaining 'night off' for Soldiers and their Families from the strenuous day-to-day of an Army at war. "We are here for these people, to entertain them and so hopefully they can have a good time tonight," Allen said prior to the show. "We're not worried about us looking good or anything like that. We're going to try to do as many songs as we can that they would know and that they can really get into." Band members Andrew Deroberts, Cale Mills, Chris Torres and Ryland Steen agree. "We're glad to do our part," Deroberts said. For Courtney Carnes, spouse of a deployed Soldier in the 4-319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, the show was the first she had attended since moving to Warner Barracks. "I was definitely impressed," Carnes said. "Being able to go on post and have a real concert was definitely really nice...it's nice to feel like you're back home for a little while." Carnes said Allen's graciousness was a good reminder of the support many back home express for men and women in uniform. "It makes you feel like it's worth it because you donAca,!A,t feel like that all the time," she said. "They came all the way over here to do a free concert and as thankful as they were for us...you know that you're not forgotten." While Allen's rise to fame happened quickly once he was selected to perform on American Idol, the road to the Louisville, Kentucky tryout and eventual win was a long one. After graduating from high school, Allen enrolled in college, but his heart wasn't in it. "I was a business major and I was like man, I'm not happy doing this, I know what I want to do so why don't I just try it," Allen said. "And so I took a couple years off and made a CD and played a bunch of places and it was great." Though he was doing what he wanted, Allen knew he couldn't support himself through local gigs. He was also planning to marry his longtime girlfriend Katy. "I was actually on my way back (to school) when all this stuff happened," Allen said. "I'm glad I didn't have to go back." Taking a chance on an American Idol tryout proved to be advantageous for the Arkansas-native, who won the title in Season 8. That risk-taking spirit is evident in Allen's debut single, "Live Like WeAca,!A,re Dying." The song, which has risen to the top 10 in three charts (No. 3 on Adult Pup Song, No. 10 on Pop Songs and No. 10 on Adult Contemporary), expounds on Allen's personal take on life, one he thinks resonates in military communities. "It's about every day and trying to make the most of every day," Allen said. "I think definitely Soldiers and people in the troops have to do that. Who knows what's going to happen. I think a lot of them take advantage of every day they have. It's tough and I think it definitely means something to them. If it was to mean something to anybody, it would mean something to them." The American Idol competition and touring the world as a musician has meant Allen and his wife are often apart for weeks at a time. "We actually had a long-distance relationship for about four years, so we were kind of used to it," Allen said. "It wasn't easy at all; it's not easy. There were plenty of times when I was like, I'm ready to be done with this because I just want to be with her. I can definitely understand that (separation)." Allen said the couple overcomes the distance through mutual support. "I have a great wife and she's really understanding," Allen said. "For me to do what I want to do, it involves this. She's happy that I'm happy." The band played a variety of hits and classics including "Live Like WeAca,!A,re Dying," "Truth" and "Falling Slowly," all singles from Allen's self-titled album, "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson and "Come Together" by the Beatles. Allen also sang his original rendition of "Heartless" by Kanye West. Fans joined in during several of the songs and Allen often left the stage to sing in the crowd. After the show audience members were invited to meet the singer for photos and autographs. To see more concert photos, visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/warnerweekly/sets/72157625112717672/.

Allen and his band en-couraged fans to sing along and spent time after the show chatting with audience members and signing autographs.

But Chief Justice Taney's simple statement of this historical fact was everywhere interpreted to be a part of his legal decision.
Taney removed the public deposits from the United States Bank.
They first rejected Jackson's nominations for bank directors, and then refused to confirm Taney himself.
Much of the Northern outcry against Taney seems to me unjust.
When Judge Taney rendered this decision the Constitution was only seventy-two years old—twelve years younger than himself.
All this was commented upon on this floor; yet Mr. Taney is selected!
Judge Taney once judicially settled the status of the African race.
Chief Justice Taney himself was a good deal of a conservative.
Chief Justice Taney who administered the oath could hardly speak, so near to uncontrollable was his emotion.
He regarded Chase as a great lawyer, Taney's logical successor.

Will Scotty's ashes finally make it to space?
Before he died in 2005, at the age of 85, James Doohan requested that his ashes be taken into space. In 2007 a capsule containing them reached suborbital space for several minutes, but the ashes were lost for three weeks after landing in the New Mexico desert.
The following year SpaceX attempted to send a portion of them into orbit but the rocket exploded, plunged into the Pacific Ocean, and was lost.
His remains will be among those of 308 people on board a rocket being launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida by SpaceX, a company run by South African-born billionaire Elon Musk.
The mission is also the first organized by a private firm to the International Space Station, and it will deliver a "grocery run" of 1,000 lbs. of food and clothing to astronauts there.

Each temple has a band of eight or ten of these girls, who celebrate their saltatory rites morning and evening.
They are there, in a sentence, as the shaven critics of a saltatory world.
In most cases of "saltatory evolution," the suddenness is in appearance only.
A dance is generally a grand affair with the native, combining as it does dress with dramatic and saltatory exhibitions.
The word does not mean "dance" in the sense of saltatory gyrations, but implies more the idea of "carnival."
He believed in saltatory evolution, in polyphyletic descent, and in the greater plasticity of the organism in earlier times.
By degrees Henchard became aware that the measure was trod by some one who out-Farfraed Farfrae in saltatory intenseness.
The word dance does not well designate the ceremonies, as they are in general more histrionic than saltatory.
Professor Spencer wonders why these creatures are saltatory in habit.
There was a platform at one end, where the musicians sat when saltatory fêtes were held, and on this I mounted to 'take a view.'

Folate receptor beta, also known as Folate receptor 2, FBP, and FOLR2, is a member of the folate receptor family. FOLR2 is expressed in placenta and hematopoietic cells. The expression of FOLR2 is increased in malignant tissues. Members of the Folate receptor family members (FOLRs) have a high affinity for folic acid and for several reduced folic acid derivatives. They mediate the delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the interior of, out of within, or between cells in a process known as potocytosis. FOLR2 has a 68% and 79% sequence homology with the FOLR1 and FOLR3 proteins, respectively. The FOLR2 protein was originally thought to exist only in placenta, but is also detected in spleen, bone marrow, and thymus. FOLR2 is a marker for macrophages generated in the presence of M-CSF, but not GM-CSF. Its expression correlates with increased folate uptake ability. Folate conjugates of therapeutic drugs are a potential immunotherapy tool to target tumor-associated macrophages.

Gwyneth Paltrow Takes Star-Studded Selfie With Gwen Stefani, Nicole Richie
Gwyneth Paltrow has shared a selfie featuring many celebrity friends which apparently was taken during a dinner in Los Angeles on April 17. In a photo uploaded to her Instagram, the "Shakespeare in Love" star can be seen posing with Nicole Richie, Gwen Stefani, Stella McCartney, Naomi Watts, Sam Taylor-Wood and Chelsea Handler.
The stars were celebrating McCartney's birthday at a vegan restaurant Crossroads on Thursday. The designer also shared a photo from the dinner in which the stars struck different poses. "Gals night out! Gwen, Gwyneth, Nicole, Chelsea, Naomi, Sam and I x Stella," she wrote.
Paltrow went to the event wearing a flowery top by Stella McCartney. Purple-haired Richie, meanwhile, was seen sporting an elegant-looking ensemble with creams, pinks and beige tones. The No Doubt singer looked chic in an all-black outfit, bright red lipstick and blue shoes.
Prior to sharing the star-studded photo, Paltrow uploaded a sweet photo of her and her two children with a beautiful ocean view as the background. "Luckiest mom ever," she tagged the snap.
Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin recently announced their separation after 10 years of marriage. Calling the split "conscious uncoupling," the couple wrote, "We have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate."

When Sylvia Plath first arrived in London from America in September 1955 she immediately fell in love with the city. It was, said Plath — who was 22 and had won a Fulbright fellowship to study at Cambridge — the most 'magnificent' place she had ever seen.
She enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at Winfield House in Regent's Park, the residence of the American ambassador and the former home of Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton. She adored the vibrant theatre scene, taking in Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Rattigan's Separate Tables. She went to lectures on economics and politics at Bedford College and was invited out on dates to Chez Auguste on Old Compton Street and picnics beneath the statue of Roosevelt in Grosvenor Square. Everything about the city, from its coffee — she liked strong espresso with a dash of hot milk — to its policemen (young, handsome and so polite that she thought they must all have been educated at Oxford), enthralled her.
Plath's London was one informed by history, literature and her imagination. As she later said in an interview, 'You remember all the Dickens you read when you were little and suddenly you go to London and you recognise scenes you have seen before and this is simply, I think, a sort of literary influence. I was immensely excited by the historic sense of London… and again by the look of it — something about all the taxi cabs being black and rather like large, impressive hearses.'
Although we tend to associate Plath with New York — in The Bell Jar she paints a scathing portrait of mid-century Manhattan — London played a central role in her life, too. It was here that she slept with her future husband, fellow poet Ted Hughes, for the first time on 23 March 1956, at a borrowed flat in Bloomsbury. Plath wrote in her journal of the 'sleepless holocaust night with Ted', while Hughes would later immortalise his dates with her at the flat in his poem 18 Rugby Street. The couple married in June, four months after their first passionate encounter at a drunken party in Cambridge, at St George the Martyr, in Queen Square, W1. Plath delighted in the fact that the place of worship used to be known as the 'sweeps' church' — at one time, parishioners contributed to a collection that paid for 100 chimney sweeps or 'climbing boys' to enjoy Christmas dinner. After their marriage, the couple lived in Cambridge, Spain and Massachusetts, but returned to London in early 1960. 'I'd rather live in London than anywhere in the world,' she said.
Sylvia and Ted settled in Primrose Hill, in a small, unfurnished flat at 3 Chalcot Square, which cost six guineas a week, and soon they were mixing with the likes of the American poet WS Merwin and his wife Dido, John Lehmann (the editor of The London Magazine) and Karl Miller (then the literary editor of The Spectator). In May, Ted and Sylvia were invited, along with Stephen and Natasha Spender, to supper at TS Eliot's flat in Kensington Court Gardens, which she described as a rather 'drab' building. The evening was spent gossiping about the private lives of DH Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, WH Auden and Stravinsky. The following month the two poets went to a cocktail party hosted by Faber & Faber, Ted's publishers, where Hughes had his photograph taken with Eliot, Auden, Louis MacNeice and Spender. 'Three generations of Faber poets here,' observed Charles Monteith, one of the directors of the publishing house. 'Wonderful!'
Plath took advantage of London's rich cultural life. She enrolled at Berlitz to study Italian, saw the Picasso exhibition at the Tate (since described as the world's first blockbuster show) and managed to secure a press ticket to attend the last day of the infamous Lady Chatterley trial at the Old Bailey. She loved living so near 'beautiful' Regent's Park and she would often take her daughter Frieda, who was born at home in April 1960, to London Zoo. From their flat the family could hear the sound of the seals barking. Occasionally, the city would provide inspiration for her poetry, as in Parliament Hill Fields, which Plath wrote in February 1961, after she had suffered a miscarriage. 'From the linked ponds that my eyes wince/And brim; the city melts like sugar,' she wrote. The speaker of the poem, Plath later said, was caught between the old and the new year and expresses 'the grief caused by the loss of a child and the joy aroused by the knowledge of an older child safe at home'.
One of the downsides of living in the city, even then, was lack of space. The flat in Chalcot Square — where, in July 2000, English Heritage erected a blue plaque in Plath's memory — comprised a bedroom, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. 'We are dreaming of a house where I can shout out to Ted from one end to the other and he won't be able to hear me,' she said. The price of a freehold house on Fitzroy Road, her favourite street in Primrose Hill, was £9,250 and although the area was, she said, 'quite slummy', she knew it was on the up. Her ideal was a rambling house in the West Country and a place in London, preferably Hampstead. 'I'm sure we could do a great deal in the peace of the country,' she said.
In the summer of 1961 the couple began to look for a property in Devon, finally settling on Court Green, a thatched house with a large orchard in the village of North Tawton. They passed on the let of their Primrose Hill flat to the Canadian poet David Wevill and his wife Assia, with whom Hughes started a secret affair. Although the couple initially enjoyed country life — in January 1962 Sylvia gave birth to her second child Nicholas — by that summer, after discovering Ted's infidelity, she felt isolated, lonely and betrayed. For his part, Hughes found it increasingly difficult to live with Plath, who had a history of mental health problems and who had first tried to commit suicide in the summer of 1953. She was desperate to get back to the intellectually stimulating life of London. 'I miss brains, hate this cow life, am dying to surround myself with intelligent, good people,' she wrote to her mother in October. 'I loved living there and never wanted to leave,' she told her brother Warren.
By November 1962, she thought she had found the ideal place for herself and her two children: a maisonette at 23 Fitzroy Road in a house once inhabited by WB Yeats, complete with a blue plaque bearing his name. She closed up the house in Devon and in December, back in London, she was declaring herself to be the happiest she had been for months. Each morning she would get up at four o'clock and write in a white heat the Ariel poems that would subsequently make her famous. Although her mother implored her to come back to America, Sylvia maintained that she was exactly where she wanted to be: London. It was, she said, 'the one city in the world I'd like to live in, with its fine doctors, nice neighbours, parks, theatres and the BBC'.
Then, on 11 February 1963, during one of the worst winters on record, Plath, in the grip of a deep depression, prepared to end her life. First, she made sure Frieda, almost three, and Nicholas, just one, were safe in their high-sided cots in their bedroom on the top floor. Then she placed two cups of milk and some bread and butter next to them, opened the window and sealed the door frame with tape, pushing tea towels into the gaps. In the kitchen she did the same, put a little folded cloth in the oven and knelt down. She placed her head inside, turned on the gas, lapsed into unconsciousness and died. Poignantly, just a few weeks before, Plath, who was only 30, had written: 'When I came to my beloved Primrose Hill, with the golden leaves, I was full of such joy.' ES
Mad Girl's Love Song: Sylvia Plath and Life Before Ted is out now (Simon & Schuster, £20). Andrew Wilson will be reading from his book at Waterstones Covent Garden on 13 March at 6pm (020 7836 6757)Reuse content

Best Of :: Food & Drink
For some of us, the other six days of the week pass in a gray streak as we await Sunday. It is then that our otherwise colorless week is turned tomato red as we sit down to that most wonderful of libations — the bloody mary. After all, how many other cocktails can boast they are as fulfilling as a meal? A bloody can disappoint by being unoriginal, but the version at 660 at the Angler's Resort is fresh and vibrant. It begins with a house-made mix consisting of fresh tomato juice, a squeeze of lime, a touch of Tabasco, and a wisp of Worcestershire. From there, Finlandia vodka is added, black pepper is sprinkled, and the rim is kissed with a blend of spices. The first sip is soul-satisfying as the subtle spice provides an endorphin rush before the vodka works its mellowing magic. One bloody is $9, but why would you stop there when three are such a bahgain, dahling, at $14? Though available every day, the 660 bloody mary is best reserved for Sunday, if only to give us a reason to live through the workweek.
Step away from the whole roast pork! Sure, it's 7 a.m., you're at El Palacio de los Jugos, and, as usual, you crave some swine. But lechón asado is no respectable breakfast. So walk past the West Flagler Street cafeteria's hot food wells — those steel tubs loaded with braised beef, boiled yuca, arroz con gris, and fried grouper. Head to the inner market, a crowded nook where salted cod and ripe avocados are peddled alongside corn pudding and nut butters. There, and only there, can you decently succumb to your morning craving of pig. Order the porker's finest part: the chicharrón ($9.99 a pound), deep-fried rind served in brown paper bags smeared with fat. Then choose from a selection of fresh juices: guava, mango, pineapple, orange, sapodilla, tamarind, and mora ($2). And there's also guarapo, a sugarcane variety. Open your pouch of chicharrón. Take a bite. Sip your juice. Wipe your greasy fingers on your jeans. Repeat. Extra breakfast points if you also order a colada to go.
An assortment of cream cheese and smoothie samples sits in front of the cash register by the entrance to New York Bagel Deli. The bagel selection covers all the basics — plain, poppy seed, sesame, onion, cinnamon raisin, and everything — with additional wheat and cheese varieties. But the unique option is the power bagel. It's a dark wheat thing topped with pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and other grains that provides a great blend of fluff and crunch. There are even filled bagels that come with a hearty hunk of Asiago cheese melted right into the center hole. Only a few types of bagels are available at a time, and they range from broccoli and Asiago to bacon and potato. Creative cream cheese flavors might also surprise you. There's guava, Bombay curry, and pesto. If your favorite isn't in stock, you can ask for a serving of the spread to be whipped up in a blender right on the spot. Don't be alarmed if the small place is full of rowers — it has become a post-practice hangout for the young athletes from the nearby Shane Rowing Center. And for mornings when you want bagels in bed to avoid the bustling weekend crowd, New York Bagel Deli delivers. Bagels are generally $1.25 each or $11.99 for a baker's dozen.
Bunnie Cakes is full of hearts. Some are pink paper cutouts plastered in patterns across the walls. Others are candy — scarlet sugar shapes that dot the bakery's cute sweets such as the six-inch, double-layered guava cakes with cream cheese frosting ($32) and banana-chocolate chip cupcakes ($3). But at this Wynwood shop, there are no eggs. There isn't any butter or milk, either. Bunnie Cakes is a vegan bakery. Mariana Cortez, a self-taught baker who delved into dairy- and egg-free sweets to provide more healthful, organic treats for her children, owns the shop. She founded Bunnie Cakes in 2009 and opened her first storefront in February 2013. Her heart-topped desserts are delicious. They are sweetened with agave nectar or evaporated cane sugar. Many of them eschew soy, gluten, and nuts. Most are allergy-free. A bakery that caters to folks with food sensitivities and a sweet tooth? Now that's something to love.
Just a few steps from the sands of South Pointe is a quaint, charming bakery named Lee & Marie's Cakery. The café sells fresh almond croissants ($3.75), red velvet cake by the slice ($6), and pecan-caramel sticky buns ($3.95). There are sandwiches, desserts, and salads — all designed by award-winning pastry chef Yannis Janssens. But what sets this cakery apart is its humanitarian ethos. Owned by Andy Travaglia, it supports and employs adults with autism spectrum disorders. Since its debut in 2012, Lee & Marie's has expanded with an additional location in New York City. It also has a production facility in Wynwood. Not only is this South Beach bakery churning out delectable baked goods across Miami and beyond, it's also succeeding in a higher cause. Now that's sweet.
Zak Stern raises Alpine goats in Little Haiti. He wears suspenders, is fond of tweed trousers, and enjoys listening to Taylor Swift. He once apprenticed for five years under bread- and cheese-makers across Europe. Now he runs a closed-door operation that supplies organic sourdoughs to some of the city's top restaurants, including Michy's and Oak Tavern. The loaves ($6), offered in varieties such as olive and za'atar or plum, fennel, and rye, have thick, chewy crusts and complex, slightly bitter interiors. So when Zak shows up at a farmers' market to sell his bread, lines form immediately. Loaves sell out within minutes. Maybe it's the goat's milk. Or perhaps it's all the T-Swift. Whatever the reason, Zak Stern is the best — and perhaps most interesting — baker in town.

Book of the Month
The Remarkable Ronald Reagan: Cowboy and Commander in Chief, by Susan Allen, Regnery Publishing. 2013, $16.95
How did Ronald Reagan get the nickname "Dutch"? What was he most proud of during his presidency? Answers to these questions and more are offered by an inspiring introduction to our 40th president in a new book for children. It is written by Susan Allen, the former first lady of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with charming illustrations by Leslie Harrington.
The Remarkable Ronald Reagan tells the story of a man who worked hard and made all his dreams come true. He was an all-American boy who played football, basketball, and ran track. A strong swimmer, Reagan worked seven summers as a lifeguard to help pay for college.
Reagan enjoyed performing on stage and being a leader; he was student body president at his Illinois college. When he visited a friend in California, he screen tested to be in movies and was hired by a studio. His stage name was his real name, which was quite unusual in those days. Reagan made 53 movies and served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild.
Reagan ran for governor of California and served two terms. He was elected President of the United States at a time when the country desperately needed a positive and enthusiastic leader. Allen states that Reagan "always seemed to have the right words to say at the right time" and that "he spoke powerfully to unite the nation." Those are two very important abilities for a president to possess.
For older children there are three pages of dated highlights of his life and two pages of important things Reagan said.
Reagan was nicknamed "Dutch" by his father who said his baby son Ronald looked like a "fat little Dutchman." Reagan said the two accomplishments during his presidency that made him happiest were that Americans had created many jobs and that America was again respected by the world.
It is important for children to be introduced to Ronald Reagan as he really was. His son, Michael Reagan, recently exposed the falsehoods in the new movie, The Butler, which portrays his dad as a racist. Michael states that his father's best friend at Eureka College was a black man and that he believed all racism was wrong. Michael states that the Hollywood movie is "not even the storyline of the real butler."
Children must be made aware of Reagan's greatness so his legacy can live on.

Social activist Anna Hazare will now focus on garnering support for the Jan Lokpal Bill, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, scheduled to take place in 2014. "Lokpal lao nahi to jao" will be the slogan that will be launched by Team Anna. Hazare briefed reporters at Ralegan-Siddhi today, with the day marking the completion of a year, following the launch of his anti-graftmovement.
"We will wait for the passing of the bill till the current session of Parliament comes to an end in May. If it does not happen we will have another one and half year before the next general elections is held," said Anna Hazare. "I will sit at Ramlila maidan once the 2014 elections are declared with a slogan 'Lokpal lao nahi to jao'. As I start my agitation, people will pour in before me holding the tricolour," he added.
Anna Hazare lashed at the UPA government for "dilly-dallying" on the Jan Lokpal issue as elections are not round the corner. He rebuked the government for promising a joint committee that will draft the Bill earlier, when the assembly elections of 5 states were approaching. However, with the elections culminating, the Prime Minister went back on his word and the UPA failed to live up to its word regarding the enactment of the bill.
The social activist repeated that a country-wide tour will be undertaken by Team Anna to gather support for introduction of the ombudsman. He made it clear that his campaign will not be against a particular party. However he stated that he would exhort the civil society not to vote for a party that opposed Jan Lokpal Bill.

Halle Berry Takes Off, Eh?
As if imminent economic collapse wasn't bad enough, Halle Berry has more bad news for America: She's packing up and moving to Canada.
The Montreal Gazette reports that the hot new mom and her model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, have bought a home in the St. Hippolyte area of Quebec. The 63-acre property sits on the edge of Molson Lake. (Yes, apparently Canucks love their beer so much that they name geographical features after it.)
Huh; no wonder Berry took a distinct lack of interest in the upcoming presidential election.
This will be a homecoming of sorts for Aubry, who grew up near Montreal and still has family in the Montreal suburb of Laval.
"It feels great," Aubry says of the relocation. "Anything we can do in our hometown is always a great feeling."
Speak for yourself, pretty boy. As for the rest of us, expect a sharp drop in the Dow based on this news.

Data Sheet
MIX-Enabled T1/E1
Port Adapter for the
Cisco 7200 VXR Series Routers
The Cisco multiservice interchange (MIX)-enabled T1/E1 port adapters (PA-MCX-2TE1, PA-MCX-4TE1, PA-MCX-8TE1) for the Cisco 7200 VXR series routers provide high-capacity, large-scale voice and data aggregation across wan interfaces, and interconnection to private branch exchanges (PBXs) and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
This family of multipurpose MIX-enabled port adapters comprises three membersthe PA-MCX-2TE1, PA-MCX-4TE1, and PA-MCX-8TE1. These port adapters come with built-in channel service units/data service units (CSUs/DSUs), and they offer the same feature set, differing only in the number of physical interfaces supported.
The MIX-enabled T1/E1 port adapters provide the ability to integrate voice and data on the same T1/E1 interface without the need for an external time-division multiplexing (TDM) device. With the "drop and insert" capability, DS0-level grooming is supported, thus providing cost-effective WAN access. Ports can be configured as voice, data, or both, depending on the application requirements. Powerful management capabilities are provided with the Cisco Voice Manager 2.0 Web-based user interface for provisioning, configuration, and monitoring functions.
The MIX-enabled T1/E1 port adapter enhances the multiservice solutions enabled by the enhanced digital voice adapters available on the Cisco 7200 VXR series of routers. By using the TDM capabilities of the Cisco 7200 VXR, the MIX-enabled T1/E1 port adapter can maximize the use of digital-signal-processor (DSP) resources on the enhanced digital voice adapters. The MIX-enabled T1/E1 port adapter enables the use of the DSP resource pool on the enhanced digital voice adapters for high- and medium-complexity coder/decoder (codec) voice calls. The concept of sharing the DSP resources across the TDM bus on the Cisco 7200 VXR platform is called DSP farming. With the DSP farm capability, a total of 20 T1s or 18 E1s of voice can be terminated on a Cisco 7206 VXR Series Router, providing a highly cost-effective solution.
Figure 1: Eight Port MIX-enabled T1/E1 Port Adapter
For data applications that require T1 CSU and DSU functionality, the two-, four-, and eight-port MIX-enabled T1 port adapters provide the right mix of integration and cost. For E1 applications, the MIX-enabled E1/G.703 interface allows direct connectivity to 120-ohm G.703 lines.
The 128 channels of the MIX-enabled port adapter can be allocated among fractional T1/E1 links, N x DS0 (N x 64K) links, or ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) links. For each N x DS0 (N x 64K) connection, a single channel is consumed and multiple N x DS0 connections can be supported on a single T1 or E1. Each T1 or E1 used as ISDN PRI consumes either 24 or 31 channels, respectively, one for each B channel and one for the D channel. A total of 30 ISDN PRIs can be supported on a Cisco 7206 VXR series router on a T1 link, and 24 ISDN PRIs can be supported on an E1 link.
The PA-MCX has the following features:
- Universal portsTwo, four, or eight interface ports per port adapter are configurable as either T1 (with integrated CSU/DSU) or E1 (with an integrated G.703/G.704 120-ohm interface). Additionally, a port may be configured on a per-DS0 basis for voice termination, TDM pass-through (cross-connect), or data.
- MIX supportVoice channels can be TDM switched between port-adapter slots in the Cisco 7200 VXR chassis. This allows DSP resources to be shared between port adapters in the same chassis or for port-to-port DS0 crossconnect between port-adapter slots.
- DS0 "drop and insert"Flexible TDM cross-connect capability between ports and the MIX bus is available.
- Multiple clocking optionsPorts can be clocked internally from the network, or the network clock from one port can be sent to the other port on the card or to other cards across the MIX bus in the Cisco 7200 VXR chassis.
The following enhanced voice features are supported when the MIX-enabled T1/E1 port adapters are used in combination with the enhanced digital voice port adapter (PA-VXC-2TE1+, PA-VXB-2TE1+):
- Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and Voice-over-Frame Relay (VoFR) termination
- Full-featured DSP firmware
- Support for several standard-compression algorithms (G.711, G.729a/ab, G.723.1, G.726, G.728)

Janet Jackson Stages a Comeback
It's been a wild couple of weeks for Janet Jackson. She's been puked on by her boyfriend, hospitalized and released, and forced to postpone a string of dates on her current Rock Witchu Tour 2008.
But Ms. Janet—who revealed that she had been suffering from migraine-induced vertigo—managed to take the stage Wednesday night and wow the crowd at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
Looking good, Janet—or at least unusual. May you continue to freak out audiences with your wicked faux-hawk and bizarre, Tron-inspired outfit uninterrupted for the rest of the tour!

John Hoag thought he had dodged the botched initial public offering of Facebook stock when he canceled his order last week for 100 of the company's shares. This week, Mr. Hoag, 63, a property manager in Tennessee, learned from his Scottrade broker that he was being charged $3,805 for the shares anyway, plus a commission fee.
When he made a complaint, he was told by e-mail that he would have to go through the compliance office, which typically takes seven to 10 days to respond. These are the days of the runaround for thousands of ordinary investors who were snagged when the much ballyhooed initial offering had problems on Friday.
By Nasdaq's own admission, 30 million Facebook shares were executed improperly because of technical flaws on the exchange, the largest such problem the exchange has experienced. On a normal day, most of the trading would be done by big financial institutions and trading firms, but on Friday an unusually large proportion of the trading was done by ordinary investors, hungry for riches from the biggest Internet initial offering ever, through brokers like Scottrade, Charles Schwab and Fidelity.
Small Investors Seek Answers to the Confusion of Facebook Trading

A New Year's eve candlelight vigil in support of Fr. James Radloff – canonically removed as pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Bend, Ore. in October by Bishop Liam Cary – will be held on the steps of the historic St. Francis of Assisi Church, according to members of a group of parishioners supporting Radloff.
"There will be a silent, respectful, prayerful candlelight vigil so that we might come together and hold Fr. Radloff in our thoughts and prayers for one hour," parishioner Susan Kold wrote in a Dec. 30 email.
Scheduled to take place on the steps of the parish's original church building from 7 to 8 p.m., the vigil will be attended by "between 50 and 100 people" from St. Francis Parish as well as parishes in Sisters and Sunriver where Radloff has also served, Kolb said.
That number might swell, indicated 27-year parishioner Mike Cleavenger. "It has all just kind of snowballed," he said. "It has not really been organized, but there has been a lot of support for Fr. Radloff and somehow reinstating his good name. So with lots of emails … this just kind of happened."
Radloff filed an appeal with the Vatican Congregation for Clergy in October asking that Cary's decree of removal be overturned and that he be reinstated as pastor of Bend's largest parish. Radloff has also asked that the reasons contained in Cary's action be made public.
Radloff has been staying with his mother in Chicago since shortly after his removal as pastor.
He had been assigned to a small parish on the California-Oregon border effective in late November, but that assignment was retracted by Cary when the bishop accused Radloff and his canonical advisor, Fr. Thomas Faucher of Boise, Idaho, of confidentiality breaches and criticized Radloff for postings on his Facebook page. Faucher strongly objected to Cary's charges.
On Dec. 8, a group of parishioners supporting Radloff placed envelopes containing reprints of the NCR report (Nov. 22-Dec.5) on Radloff's removal on windows of cars at the 10 a.m. Mass.
Radloff was installed as St. Francis' pastor in December 2011, about three months before Cary was ordained Baker's bishop.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
It was a luxury retreat where the villa we chose I.e Premium Vila had a kitchenette and a small pool, something like a lap pool. As we paid quite a lot for the one night stay, we spend most of our time inside the villa and of course, in the pool. The food was expensive and of small quantity. The buffet breakfast was not really like a 5-star hotel standard.
Private pool, comfort bed and free wifi The pool is very cold and the water was not clean . No resterant nearby hotel and have to take taxi 40 RM tow ways
The chalet was beautiful. Other than that the property had nothing much to offer. The other guests behaved terribly during the buffet meals. They rushed and grabbed at food.
Swimming pool Restruents
beautiful location , excellent staff especially those serving breakfast at the restaurant and our bell boys in buggy...they are excellent! The private should at least be installed a heater or more heat lights so that at least we can use the pool during cold weather especially at night.The pool or at night. Its a waste we cant used it during the night as the water is too cold. Microwave please indicate for halal use only or mix used.
In house swimming pool Yes
The room was superb, breakfast was nice, felt so romantic in the room wit private swimming pool..the staffs was nice to upgrade our rm frm deluxe to executive :) staffs should be more friendly and approachable..
Comfortable and for relaxing Sun light going inside the room
The private pool is excellent The staff are not friendly at all, right from the Reception to the cleaners. Don't even say hello.
The pool was great and clean. Live guard was around all the time.We also enjoyed having a big field to play football with the kids. Yes, the buffet breakfast in "Fresh" was really lousy. Not much variety and the cakes served was hard! The food did not match the price paid.
cleanliness & great swimming pool slow checking in & out
I liked the open grass area which was clean and well maintained. The sunsets in the evenings were beautiful and swings hanging from the trees were fun ideas for the kids. Also liked the library although it could do with more books like novels and childrens' books. Pillow cases were bit smelly ( stale smell as if they were not fully dried). Both Glass and Fresh restaurants were closed on the second day of our stay. Convinient store didn't sell any drinks or snacks. Games room was also closed to our sons' dismay. Most of the staff seemed very shy and not well trained.(front office - not so welcoming and gave out wrong infomation. Fresh restaurant - zero smile from the staff)
Their staff are efficient and friendly. Rooms and bathrooms are huge and clean. The whole hotel area is very clean and comfortable. It was a pleasant stay!
the very best hotel in port dickson is 5 star yes , will go next time again for enjoy
For example i wish to eat a good meal because the hotel needs to improve his restaurant. nothing
Quiet surrounding for a great weekend get away. Comfortable bed. The cleanliness of the shower room can be improved.
The comfort of the room.
Very good place for relax Charges of the tax is diffrent from the net price given. Poor service on the front desk during check in and out, need more improvement on process.
The hotel was vey nice and comfortable. Big problem with location. Your site lists this hotel as only 22kms from Airport but in fact it is 80km from Airport so please be wary as it is 1.5hrs by very expensive taxi drive.
the management took note of our concern for switching our room due to wedding being held outside my room. With the noise and testing of sounds it is not appropriate since we have a baby. We got to switch within 1 hour house keeping sucks. I asked for extra towels and until the end I did not received the requested towels
it is nice to have the pet garden inside the hotel, nice swimming pools as well staffs are not well trained, service was bad. expensive but not really value for money.
The hotel was clean, comfortable and the hotel staffs were courteous.
Comfortable hotel and very quiet - Cooperation of staff in the provision of Assistant Price of the room and service activities and high non-free
Excellent facilities etc pet farm, 3 pools & spice farm. Very good resort feel. Well kept and maintained. The BBQ seafood buffet dinner was average. Not much variety of seafood and quality of the food was poor for the price we paid. We ordered ala carte at the restaurant on top the night before and it was way way better. Regret paying MYR200 for the BBQ buffet dinner.
I liked the environment and the structure of the hotel
Scenery from the bedroom Roof Leaking as it was raining
Able to relax and manage activities like fishing there There were too many guests at the hotel and your staff couldn't cope. We were kept waiting for about 1/2 hour to get a table for our breakfast. Prior to that, we had to wait longer because people just jump the queue and at one time the staff just couldn't manage them.
Nice view, nice spa and friendly staffs. 24hrs pool and pet farm is very good. Foul smell at the toilet at night, but it is ok as long as you keep the door close. Alot of sandflies at the beach which was quite annoying. Limited food choices since there is only one restaurant.
Everything! The view, the maintenance of the hotel was excellent, food has improved tremendously, staff are warm, polite and acommodating. Nothing apart from it always being hard to book.
Suitable for family vacations and comfortable for those who travel with kids.
Like the view from my room but the tv in the room was not functioning well and the service was poor at the restaurant.
Nice ocean view
good view
I can see lot a ship. I need a local people work at front office.
the room has uncomfortable smell. toilet is dirty. has cockroaches and lizard
The room is good Location is not so good
The view, the seabreeze just magnificient Food is not interesting
The location was so nice Check in and check out taken so long
Underneath water view 1. Cleanliness of toilet 2. Customer service @ front office & room service
Helpful staffs, nice deco, convenient location Poor Sea Water quality, maintenance of the room and in room facilities can be cleaner
Room was nice. Location bad as nothing close. Must rely on taxis to get anywhere...even to eat. Taxis service at hotel really poor. Booked a cab and had to wait 2 hours not once but twice and to complain...no one then understands english.
The hotel staffs were very friendly and helpful. I really appreciate the suprise the hotel give us since that was our 9th Anniversary day. Room and facilities well maintained. Nope. All ok
relaxing & comfy have to walk about 300metres to get into room
The breakfast is not too bad. The hotel has insufficient workers. No one assist at the pool side when we need to get pool towels.
Nothing! This Hotel would be classified as a 1 star anywhere in Europe. Rooms are old and very dirty. Toilet full of hair. Swimming pool filthy and surroundings very dirty too. I felt ripped off after coming from Saigon's 3* fantastic hotel. Karaoke was on till 1am and when asked staff ignored us. It is a pitty that this place is listed in this website, because I wont use them anymore.
All the hotel staff are friendly and attent the guest with smile and even the hotel facilities out of service because of old age they attend promptwhenever we complains. in the swimming pools the hotel allow people to go in without proper attires. that is very bad, I come across one malay lady came out from the pool, blood stain at her back.
Only the beach, just near
The breakfast quality was poor, cleanliness of the restaurant needs urgent attention. Bathroom really needs to be refurbished.
Nothing Lousy beach, old and breakfast is bad with lots of flies
Nothing The web is a big lie on the hotel! The hotel is unacceptable not even worth as a 3 star hotel. It is very old, room dirty,food very poor quality and the breakfast is absolutely rubbish!!! Nothing is value for money and I do regret to choose this hotel((
The environment very relaxing and the view make my mind cool. All are satisfied.
hotel are run down..... too classic look.not enough parking for cars.lost my iphone charger and baby pillow there as well.
none. Room facilities not enough. Kitchen cultery not provided. Previous the environment very nice, clean and view beautiful. Now the beaches very dirty and no place to sit near the sea. No BBQ place.
Swimming pool and pool side facilities suitable for family outings. Though indicated as 2 bedroom apartment, but there is only one room with air-cond facility. And the end room is small and only suitable for single occupancy.
We stayed at three bedroom apartment which the spaces is big and the room is clean. The pool is big and clean as well. It's value for money for family's stay. The breakfast is not many choices.
Only swimimg pool and room good Beach not ok

Remembering Gerard Cace — A True East Texas Legend
Here I am again with childhood memories from my hometown Longview. This memory is of eating at the best and (fanciest in the day) restaurant in Longview, the famed Johnny Cace's Seafood and Steakhouse on Marshal Avenue. Serving Longview and East Texas for 60 years with the best New Orleans-style Creole cuisine, this place has always been the real deal!

This specific reproduction of Spurgeon's Pastoral
Expositions is heart-warming, full of practical applications of
Scripture, filled with the sweet savour of Jesus Christ and Him
222 pages
Every lukewarm and backsliding Christian needs to read this book!
Dr. Mark Marinella has long marveled at the spiritual ramifications of Jesus' death, as well as the physical and physiological aspects. He presents this material in a most compelling manner, giving a succinct overview of Jesus' death from a physical and a medical perspective that both medical and lay people can understand.
Particularly intriguing are the specific details of Jesus' death which were prophesied in the Old Testament hundreds of years before Jesus actually was nailed to the cross! Your faith in prophesy will be dramatically increased, plus your appreciation of the pain and suffering Jesus endured so that our sin debt will be paid will simply skyrocket. You will never, ever take Jesus' sacrifice for your sins for granted again.

explorer Richard Bright has spent two decades
investigating the claims for the wooden vessel
spoken of in the Biblical account. Over a dozen
expeditions to the site and countless hours in
research make Bright an authority on the ship.
Never-before-seen photographs, expedition
accounts, and persuasive evidences point reveal a
massive, man-made object hidden on remote Mt.
Wouldn't it be just like God to delay
man's discovery of Noah's Ark until the very End
of the Age so that, just as mankind has become the
most atheistic in history, a discovery of the Ark
would validate God's Word in a most unbelievable

the Creator of the Universe asks questions. Unimaginable power and wisdom are His, but as strange as it seems, the Bible is filled with questions God asks. He is not the One Who needs answers -- these questions help us understand both God and ourselves.
This study is a powerful supplement to family worship, Bible study, and personal devotions. Stop demanding answers from God and begin answering the questions He asks of us.

Billboards Decrease the Value of Nearby Property
Urban planner Jonathan Snyder, author of the study, found that "[u]sing 2010 sale price data, and taking into account adjacent amenities such as libraries and parks, residential real estate within 500 feet of a billboard is $30,826 less valuable (p=.035) at the time of purchase."
Furthermore, "Billboards negatively impact home values. For each additional billboard in a census tract, there is a $947 decrease in home value."
Scenic America notes that the report concludes "...that cities with stricter billboard controls have greater median incomes, lower poverty rates and lower home vacancy rates than city with less strict billboard controls."

Pop rockers The Script have fought off tough competition from Linkin Park, Robert Plant and Phil Collins to top the U.K. album chart.

Glued all bridges and funnel tops before I gave this to my 2 yr old grandson but after it got wet he pulled everything loose. Now when he plays with it the loose pieces are all over the backyard. He likes splashing in the water but I could have bought something for much less money for that. This product was not comparable to other Step 2 products that I have purchased.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
We bought this table for our 3.5 year old son for Easter. He absolutely loves it! I was worried it wouldn't hold his attention very long, but I was wrong. He will play with it for at least an hour. Loves the train and loves dumping water into the funnels and having it splash as it comes down. We only use it for water on both sides since I didn't want the mess of the water and sand mixing together and we share out backyard with 2 other families (live in a 3 floor apt), but I'm sure if we did fill it with sand, he would love it as well. Great price and great toy! I just wish it had a plug to drain the water out instead of having to dump it. I'm 9 months pregnant and its a pain having to turn the table over to empty the water. That's my only complaint.
Great value

9. Ban Bookmarks from the Awesome Bar
If for some reason you don't want bookmarks to appear in the Awesome Bar, there's an easy way to ban them. Download the Hide Unvisited 3 add-on, and only recently visited pages will appear. Keep in mind that if you've recently visited a page that you've bookmarked, that page will appear in the Awesome Bar. It will only keep off bookmarks that you haven't recently visited.
If you'd prefer to do the same thing by yourself rather than relying on an add-on, here's what to do:
1. Type about:config into the address bar.
2. Type this text into the filter box: browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped (or type . browser.urlbar and choose from the list).
3. Double-click the browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped entry so that the value changes from false to true.
4. Clear your history list.
From now on, only sites you've visited recently will show up; bookmarks won't.
10. Kill the Awesome Bar ... Sort Of
If you're a retro kind of person, you can kill the Awesome Bar, and make it look and work somewhat like the old reliable address bar in earlier versions of Firefox. The oldbar add-on will make the Awesome Bar look like the Firefox 2 location bar. But the changes are only skin deep -- even when you use this add-on, the Awesome Bar will still use its algorithms to determine what sites it shows. It just won't show all the details.
11. Force Old Extensions to Work in Firefox 3
When you install Firefox 3, it checks to see if your old extensions have been updated for the new version of the browser. If it finds they haven't, it disables them.
If you like living on the edge, you can change a couple of settings to force Firefox to use your old extensions. Be forewarned, though, that doing this can cause compatibility problems and other woes.
Go to the following settings in about:config, and change both to false by double-clicking them:
If you don't want to muck around with about:config but still want to force old extensions to work in Firefox 3, download and use the Nightly Tester Tools extension. For instructions on how to use it, check out my blog entry about some of my favorite Firefox 3 add-ons.
12. Hack Firefox's New Zoom Feature
Firefox 3 adds some very nice capabilities to Zoom, which now magnifies images as well as text. But if it doesn't do everything you want it to, or you don't like some of the features, they can be hacked. Here's how to do it with about:config.
You can zoom in and out of pages with Firefox using the Ctrl + and Ctrl - combinations, or by selecting View -- Zoom. When you zoom pages in a Web domain (such as computerworld.com), the next time you visit any page in that domain, Firefox 3 will remember your zoom level and display it at that level.
You may, however, prefer that Firefox always display a page at a normal zoom, no matter how you displayed it the last time you visited. If so, you can change the following setting from true to false by double-clicking it in about:config: browser.zoom.siteSpecific.

This information is shown as a guide only and not a guarantee.Actual fitting may vary.
Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I got fitted with these at my local dance store, and they have made such a difference! Like another reviewer, I have wide metatarsals, a highly compressible foot, a narrow heel and a low arch. It made it difficult to find shoes that fit. I was wearing the Bloch Hannah, which wasn't terrible, but I was sinking down into the shoe on pointe and the vamp was digging into my foot in demi. I always felt like I was fighting the shoe. The Russian Muse fit my foot snugly and are so much more aesthetically pleasing. I love the flexible shanks. It makes it so much easier to get over the box. The shoe was also flexible enough that when I was in demi, the shoe moved with my foot rather than digging in. If you have feet like mine, you will love these! Definitely get fitted at a store before you start ordering online though. I wear a street size 10 but ended up getting the 40 in these. The shoe would have been much too large had I gone by the sizing recommendations online.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I have very wide, square feet with medium arches. I sometimes have trouble reaching full pointe in harder shoes like Blochs. These pointes are absolutely perfect! I have to but them with a low vamp which DDS doesn't offer and with a soft flexible shank. The platform is very squared off w crisp edges which takes some getting used to but once you do you can balance for days. I strongly recommend to dancers with feet like mine.
Age: 22-29
I LOVE these shoes!! I have particularly wide & strong feet so these fit perfectly. I have tried many brands ( Capezio, Ghrisko, and Gaynor) and these have finally worked. I ordered the strongest shank and highest vamp since I tend to over arch. All other brands have "died" quickly but these shoes have lasted the longest for which I am grateful. These have fit perfectly and I love the V vamp. It looks SO beautiful!! These shoes may be painful at first but your toes will get used to it and then its so worth the pain. I would recommend these shoes to any dancers who break their shoes quickly and want beautiful shoes that last!! :)
Age: 15-18
These shoes seriously changed my life. They fit my feet beautifully, break in quickly and are so comfortable!! I have big feet (size 10) with a narrow heel and wide metatarsal. My toes are very tapered and my second toe is longer than my big toe. I also have easily compressible and flexible feet. All of these factors have made it difficult to find my perfect pair of pointe shoes and these are it. I never want to wear another pair of pointe shoes in my life. I just purchased my third pair. My only problem is the lasting time. I dance en pointe 5-6 hours a week and usually shoes last me two months, but my second pair is already soft after under a month. But that isnt anything jet glue couldnt fix. All in all these are amazing shoes and I love them to death.
I purchased these shoes after unsuccessful tries with freed models. These are the best shoes I have danced in thus far. Fantastic support, very durable and unparalleled balance. I have very wide, flat feet and finding proper shoes has been a challenge but the Muses have really helped! Although they are not the most aesthetically pleasing, (they look very wide) they are perfect for a dancer like me who needs the extra-wide box. My only complaint is that they hurt a LOT the first two wears, but if you stick with them, they will love you after the short break-in period. I have also heard that the Russian Pointe Lumina shoes are fantastic with a little bit narrower box, probably look more elegant. I may try those next!
I wore several pairs of pointe shoes this past season, but kept coming back to these. They seemed to fit my foot better than any other shoe, and because of the square box, I did not roll over on them. The only problem I have is they do bother my Achilles a little bit, and feel a little high on the heel causing me to need to bend my knee slightly. But this is an anatomical issue with me more than anything, as my Achilles is a little tight
The shoes did become squeaky after a few wearings, but they break in really fast, and for me, who goes through pointe shoes like there is no tomorrow, they seem to stay in the happy place of almost dead just long enough :)
I haven't bought these shoes online, but when I go to get fitted, these are always the ones I get. They are one of the only shoes that come wide enough for my feet.
They're really comfortable but only after the first or second wear. The first time I dance in them, they hurt really really bad, more so than any other pointe shoes I've had, but after a little breaking in, they're fine.
Also, once they start getting old (even before they die] they squeak a lot, again, more so than other pointe shoes but it's not a huge deal.
The only problem I ever had with these shoes was that I broke the medium shanks really fast. However, I'm a strong dancer, so that was part of the reason, so unless you are just starting out or are very light weight, I wouldn't recommend the medium shank which is all they have here. [Although, the med. shank is GREAT for recitals. It gives an awesome arch)
Other than that, this shoe is great and has been the best shoe I've had since I started~
Since Russian Pointe shoes are brand new to our inventory, we will be carrying the basic sizes for the start of the season. We will definitely forward your comment along and please stay tuned through the next year as we may expand the Russian Pointe we carry.- DDS Customer Service (06/20/2013)

Leaders of Myanmar and Thailand last week agreed to invite Japan as a third investor in the floundering Dawei project during a visit to the area.
President U Thein Sein and Thai Prime Minister Ms Yingluck Shinawatra visited the Dawei Special Economic Zone on Monday, December 17 and discussed ways of accelerating the project as well as issues related to telecommunications, electricity, environmental conservation and investment.
President U Thein Sein said the project is important not only for Myanmar and Thailand but also other ASEAN nations.
Moreover, he said that a third country must be invited as Myanmar and Thailand could not implement the project on their own. He singled out Japan because of its experience with similar projects and it had shown interest in the development.
Ms Yingluck agreed and pledged to speed up implementation of the project by improving cooperation between six sub-committees established by both sides.
The Dawei Deep Sea Port and Special Economic Zone is in Nabule village tract, Yebyu township, Tanintharyi Region. The governments of Myanmar and Thailand signed an initial agreement launching the project on May 19, 2008.
A further agreement was signed in late 2010 but Myanmar partner Max Myanmar has pulled out of the project, while Thai developer Ital-Thai Development Company has struggled to attract investors. The project has also met grassroots opposition from communities upset over the minimal compensation paid and potential environmental consequences of the development.
Experts said the visit of the two leaders was an important step for boosting the confidence of prospective investors but they expected it would be hard to persuade Japanese firms to put money into Dawei.
"Thilawa is the priority for the time being because it is close to the big market of Yangon while Dawei is a long-term project. Thilawa is for light industries but Dawei is for heavy industries," Mr Kiwamu Honda of Dawei Development Company Ltd told the Bangkok Post on Tuesday, December 18.
"Japan has an interest in both Dawei and Thilawa, but it has to choose one for now," he said.
Mr Honda also noted that the master plan for Dawei has been proposed but is still awaiting endorsement by the Myanmar government.
U Tin Maung Swe, chairman of the Support Group for the Deep Sea Port and Special Economic Zone (SEZ), said the two leaders discussed ways to accelerate the project, including attracting more investment, but he refused to give further details.
"It is a closed door meeting, they discussed secretly," he said.
He said some Thai businessmen accompanied Ms Yingluck but no Japanese investors took part in the trip.
"Japanese investors came and surveyed the project site several times. They are also interested in Dawei and they told me they are willing to invest in it," he said.
Addressing the concerns of local residents, he said compensation had been given according to what they had requested. Relocation projects will continue for those living in project areas and work on infrastructure will get underway early in 2013.
The SEZ will directly affect 16 villages, with 3984 households totalling 23,120 people forced to relocate.
Ko Lay Lwin from Nabule village tract said the developers paid what they asked but residents still are not happy at having to move.
"We don't want to go anywhere and don't believe in this development. There are three gas pipeline projects that pass through Dawei but we still have to pay K435 a unit for electricity. We are worried whenever we hear the words 'development project'," he said.
But Ko Ye Lwin Myint, a member of the Dawei Development Association, said he preferred Japanese investors to those from China.
"I think Japan values its image and the Japanese government is transparent. However, we have to watch closely so that our region is not too damaged by this development," he said.
According to the initial project plan, Ital-Thai will get a 75-year concession to develop the area and will provide 50 percent of the investment for phase one, estimated at US$8.6 billion. Max Myanmar was to invest 25pc.
The project comprises three phases, to be carried out over a period of approximately 10 years, from 2010 to 2019, although it has been delayed.
U Tin Maung Swe said the first phase should be completed by 2015.

Box 15-D - Hazardous Materials Reporting
Box 15-D - Hazardous Materials Reporting
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Hazardous Materials Information System (HMIS) is the primary source of national data on hazardous materials transportation safety. Hazardous materials, as defined in regulations, include nine classes of gases and liquids and other substances.1 However, the vast majority of the hazardous materials shipped within the United States each year (82 percent in 2002) are flammable and combustible liquids, primarily petroleum products. Incident reporting requirements were extended to intrastate motor carriers on Oct. 1, 1998, which may partly explain the subsequent increased volume of reports. Beginning in April 1993, there was a sharp improvement in reporting of incidents by small package carriers.
