JUDGMENT K.G. Balakrishnan, C.J.
1. First petitioner is an Association of Cable T.V. Operators and petitioners 2 to 28 are said to be the members of the first petitioner. Petitioners challenge the constitutional validity of Gujarat Entertainments Tax (Amendment) Act, 1993 and pray that the provisions contained in the said Act and its consequential Rules and the circulars issued under the said Act and the Rules be held ultra vires and the respondents be directed to refund the tax collected from the petitioners under the provisions of the said Act. It is also prayed that Annexure 'B' letter issued by the third respondent be set aside.
2. The petitioners, as Cable T. V. Operators, receive television signals with the help of Antenna and are retransmitting these signals to enable their customers to view film or moving pictures or series of pictures, or serials or any other programme transmitted through television signals. Subscribers are able to see these transmissions with the help of this Cable Television system. The petitioners, as Cable Television operators, collect subscription from their customers and also the installation charges or connection charges for giving access to their antennas. The Gujarat Entertainment Tax Act 16 of .1977 was amended by the Gujarat Entertainments Tax (Amendment) Act, 1993. As per Clause 6-B of the said amendment Act, tax was imposed on exhibition of entertainment by means of antenna or cable television. Clause 6-C of the Act directs that there shall be a registration and no proprietor providing an entertainment with the aid of any type of antenna or cable television shall carry on television exhibition without obtaining a valid Certificate of Registration from the Collector of Entertainments Tax. The petitioners herein have not specifically stated as to which provision of the amended Act is to be held ultra vires but a contention has been raised that the entire Act and the Rules are to be held ultra vires as the State Government lacks legislative competence. The petitioners allege that the State Legislature is not competent to enact the said amendment Act as the subject-matter comes within the purview of Entry 31 of List I of the Seventh Schedule. It is argued by the petitioners' counsel that there is already a Union legislation under the said Act, viz., Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, and, therefore, the impugned Act and the Rules are passed without any legislative competence.
3. The contention of the petitioners' counsel is that impugned legislation will come within the ambit of the subject covered by Entry 31 of' List I of Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India as the nature of business carried on by the petitioners is transmission of communication and any legislation touching this subject shall be made by the Parliament.
4. Entry 31 of List I of Seventh Schedule reads as follows :--
"31. Posts and telegraphs, telephones, wireless, broadcasting and other like forms of communication."
The Entry gives legislative competence to the Parliament to pass any law relating to posts and telegraphs, telephones, wireless, broadcasting and other like forms of communication. It is true that retransmission of Television programmes received through Satellite transmission is a form of communication and Parliament alone has got legislative competence and that is why the Parliament has passed the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995 to regulate the cable television network. It was noticed that cable operators, using their antenna, used to catch the signals of foreign television networks and retransmit to Indian televiewers. The foreign programmes available in these satellite channels are predominantly western, totally alien to our culture and it was apprehended that it may have deleterious effect on our culure and civilization. In order to regulate operation of cable television network in the entire country to bring about a uniformity in their operation, the Central Act was passed. As per the provisions of the Act, cable operators have to register their names and no person shall transmit or retransmit through cable service any programme contrary to the prescribed programmes code. It is also made compulsory that the cable operators shall retransmit at least two Doordarshan Channels. It is clear that the Act is intended to regulate the operation of cable television network and to see that viewers of television are not allowed to have access to undesirable programmes that may be transmitted through satellite televisions.
5. The impugned enactment is for taxing the cable operators, who provide entertainments to their customers through cable television system. Admittedly, the cable operators, by using disc antennae, receive national and international programmes, which include news, teleserials, movies, sport, programmes and various other kinds of entertainments. These programmes are relayed round the clock and cable operators provide such entertainment to their subscribers on payment of fees.
6. The Gujarat Entertainments Tax (Amendment) Act, 1993 was enacted to bring in the cable operators under the provisions of the parent Act. The legislative competence of this amendment Act could be traced to Entry 62 of List II of the Seventh Schedule, which reads as follows ;--
"62. Taxes on luxuries, including taxes on entertainments, amusements, betting and gambling."
On liberal interpretation of the provisions of the Constitution, the legislative competence of this Act could also be traced to Entry 60 of List II of the Seventh Schedule as it gives power to State Legislature to enact any law relating to taxes on professions, tiades callings and employments. There is a long line of decisions to the effect that the various Entries in the State List of Seventh Schedule are not exclusive powers, but fields of legislation. These Entries demarcate contours of the various fields of legislation and widest amplitude shall be given to the language of these Entries (See the following observations made by the Honourable Supreme Court in India Cement Ltd, v. State of Tamil Nadu, ATR 1990 SC 85, in paragraph 18 at page 91 :--
".................. The lists are designed to define and delimit the respective areas of respective competence of the Union and the States. These neither impose any implied restriction on the legislative power conferred by Article 246 of the Constitution, nor prescribe any duty to exercise that legislative power in any particular manner. Hence, the language of the entries should be given widest scope, D. C. Rataria v. Bhuwalka Brothers Ltd. (1955) 1 SCR 1071 : AIR 1955 SC 182, to find out which of the meanings is fairly capable because these set up machinery of the Govt. (sic). Each general word should be held to extend to all ancillary or subsidiary matters which can fairly and reasonably be comprehended in it. In interpreting an entry it would not be reasonable to import any limitation by comparing or contrasting that entry with any other one in the same list. It is in this background that one has to examine the present controversy. ..........."
From Entry 62 of List IT of the Seventh Schedule, it is clear that the State Legislature is competent to pass any law for levying taxes on entertainments and amusements. The counsel for the petitioners would contend that they are not providing any amusements or entertainments and by using antenna or disc antenna, they only receive the satellite television transmission and re-transmit the same to the viewers and, therefore, they are not liable to pay entertainment tax. The contention of the petitioners is not tenable. The petitioners, admittedly, with their antenna receive television signals transmitted through national and international satellite network and by re-transmission of the signals by wire or other means, they allow the viewers of the television sets at the residential or non-residential place to view the films or moving pictures or series of pictures, or serials or any other programme and such viewers are connected to the central system and, admittedly, the petitioners receive contribution or subscription from such subscribers for the entertainments or amusements provided by the petitioners. The contention of the petitioners that the cable operators are not providing any amusement or entertainment to the subscribers is without any basis and their activities would certainly; come within the ambit of the Gujarat Entertain ments Tax (Amendment) Act, 1993.
7. The counsel for the petitioners vehemently contended that in view of the Central Act, viz., Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, the impugned enactment is not necessary and if at all any tax could be levied, it could only be done by the Central Government. The above plea cannot be accepted as the State Legislature has got competence to levy tax on entertainment or amusement and the purpose of the impugned enactment is to levy tax on entertainment, whereas the Central Act is intended only to regulate the cable television networks. Therefore, we do not find any force in the contention advanced by the petitioners counsel that the provisions contained in the Gujarat Entertainments Tax (Amendment) Act, 1993 are ultra vires the Constitution.
8. The counsel for the petitioners relied on a decision in India Cement Ltd. v. State of Tamil Nadu, AIR 1990 SC 85. We do not think that this decision has any application to the facts of the present case. That was a case where the Tamil Nadu Legislature passed an enactment to impose cess and royalty on mineral rights. It was held that the tax on royalty was beyond the competence of the State Legislature as there was a Central Act, covering the field and in view of the central enactment, it was held that the Central Act covered the field and the State Legislature was denuded of its competence under Entry 23 of List II of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. The plea of the State Government that it had legislative competence under Entry 49 of List II as it was tax on land was rejected. It was held that royalty on minerals was not a tax on land, but a payment for user of land and, consequently, the said Act was held to be ultra vires the Constitution. The said decision has no application here as it is clear that the State Legislature has got competence to pass the impugned Act.
9. Lastly, the petitioners' counsel contended that Annexure 'B' notice issued by the 3rd respondent is without any jurisdiction and illegal. Annexure 'B' notice is not issued to the petitioners. The petitioners claim to be sub-operators. The 3rd respondent issued the said notice, emphasizing that under Section 6C read with Rule 3(1), the responsibility to pay entertainment tax is on the main cable operator, who transmit or retransmit the programmes by getting connection from the cable operators, and the sub-operators are having control rooms and disc antennas. In Annexure 'B' letter, it is stated that the duty to pay entertainment tax is on the main cable operators and it is also emphasized that the main cable operator shall recover the entertainment tax from the sub-operators, who have given connection to the various subscribers. The counsel for the petitioners submitted that in Annexure 'B', it is stated that the sub-cable operators are not required to register their names and the steps are likely to be taken by the 3rd respondent to cancel the registration. If at all any such steps are taken, there are statutory remedies available to the petitioners. At present, the petitioners have got registration and it is not stated in Annexure 'B' that such registration is going to be cancelled and, admittedly, the petitioners have not received any notice regarding the cancellation of their registration. Therefore, we do not find any reason to interfere with Annexure 'B' letter issued by the 3rd respondent. The petitioners are at liberty to seek appropriate remedies in case any steps are taken for cancellation of their registration.
10. The Special Civil Application is without any merit and it is accordingly dismissed, in limine.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Let's say you have the sudden need to throw a party for 50 at your home and most of the guests are from the East Coast where the chance of them experiencing genuine Tex-Mex is not only unlikely, it's unheard of. You are short on time, and your spouse is no damn help, so you call Pappasito's Cantina and book the evening and food and watch as they do the rest. On the appointed evening, they swoop in, set up tables, chairs, festive decorations. They man a frozen margarita machine, which you sample for taste. A lot. A cook stands over an industrial strength mesquite grill, preparing tasty chicken and beef fajitas. Several more staff work the quesadilla station that will rock your world. Their professional servers offer just that, professional service, and best of all, after the party peaks and the guests begin to leave, they clean up after themselves. Which is its own blessing, because it's late and you're too smashed to even try.
Crisp pastel meringue filled with vanilla, pistachio lavender or raspberry paste, these are macaroons from heaven above. Nothing wrong with traditional macaroons, but the macaroon can be so much more than a wad of coconut. Every country has its own variation. Be glad you're not a Scot (think in terms of leftover mashed potatoes). Now, Oak Cliff has its own signature macaroon—one so delectable it might knock the coconut kind off its throne one day. Shop Rush Patisserie online, or, better yet, visit the store and tempt yourself with all sorts of artisanal delights—breakfast pastries, quiche, chocolate and fresh fruit confections, cookies and cakes.
James Thurber once said "One martini is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough." And we couldn't agree with him more. This year's top pick for best martini goes to Inwood Lounge, part of the art deco Inwood Theatre off West Lovers Lane. Why? Well, it just happens to be a full-service martini bar. Wait. That's not all. Gin. Vodka. Vermouth. The Inwood Lounge has it all, and the bartenders know what they're doing when it comes to concocting everything from a classic martini to a chocolate one. We suggest attending one of the Midnight Madness movie showings, and while you're waiting, order up a dirty martini and slowly sip it while relaxing at a table by the cascading water wall. Oh, and you might want to hold onto the olives because the only food here is popcorn.
Dallas has no shortage of great burgers, and we've eaten most of them—The Stodg at The Porch, Twisted Root, Wingfield's...we could go on and on. But for sheer consistency, the half-pound Angry Dog Burger gets the nod every time. It's always there for you. No bullshit lunch-only hours, no Sunday and Monday only availability (we're looking at you, The Grape), and no wussy health restrictions—you want it medium rare, you're getting it medium rare, and piled high on a perfectly toasted bun, to boot. And at $6.75 with fries—which we like to douse liberally in the Dog's spicy seasoning salt—it's still one of the cheapest destination burgers in town.
You get the feeling that many of the regulars at Barbec's have been coming there since Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson first played "Sunday Morning Coming Down" together 30 some-odd years ago. It's a testament to the East Dallas mainstay's good old-fashioned, no-frills country-style breakfast. No frills, that is, until you take the first bite of Barbec's famous beer biscuits. Washing down the sweet, buttery biscuit with that first cup of coffee is the perfect way to warm up a hungry stomach just before ordering the "Double Barrel Breakfast." The popular platter features two eggs, two pancakes and bacon or sausage, and it's certain to satisfy any hunger—or hangover.
The Sixth Floor Museum has expanded into the 501 Elm Building across N. Houston Street from the museum, with administrative offices upstairs and a really cool new café and store on the ground level. The café, with food from La Duni and excellent coffee, looks out on the site of the city's great shame, the event that labeled us "The City of Hate," which means that French tourists can sip lattes and despise us in air-conditioned comfort. This has to be good for the economy. Meanwhile, the store offers work by local artisans and Fair Trade/Eco-Friendly manufacturers, some with references to Kennedy, some of it more about the Kennedy era and Dallas. Name another city that has turned its worst disability into a profit center.

Feminism, Pop-Culture | Posted by Grace on 06/25/2012
Perfectly Normal
I don't have a diagnosed eating disorder and that makes me sad. That might sound like a strange thing to say, but what I mean is that I think it's wrong that my daily obsession with counting calories, my attempts to drink copious amounts of green tea because it supposedly speeds up your metabolism, and my complete inability to forget about my weight is pretty much considered normal. Wikipedia informs me that "Eating disorders refer to a group of conditions defined by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake to the detriment of an individual's physical and mental health."
I don't fit into this category because I never fell ill, no one ever commented that my weight was unhealthy, and no one worried, despite the fact that I swung between binge-eating and eating 600 calories in a day. What seemed to make this OK was that girls often told me I had the perfect figure, and that I was so lucky I could eat chocolate cake and be so skinny. Plenty of my friends "went ano" before special occasions, and so these eating patterns continued until about a year ago.
I have days where I think, "Hey, I don't have a model's body, but I am slim. It's crazy that I obsessively count calories to make sure I don't go over 1750, and make sure I exercise enough to burn at least 250 calories." Then there are the days where I can't look in the mirror because I think my thighs are so hefty, and I see myself slipping back into a dangerous place, and I count the calories to make sure I'm eating enough.
As someone who considers myself a feminist, I feel like I'm betraying myself. I am healthy and fit and I know, deep down, that I am not overweight, so why am I letting these unrealistic, Photoshopped aspirations of perfection that I see constantly affect me so much? Am I bad feminist for wanting a thigh gap or am I just another teenage girl our modern society has damaged?
I recently graduated from a small all-girls school where nearly everyone was on a diet, and thinspo was abundant. In this environment, counting calories was second-nature, so I never felt that I should be pitied for my obsession with fitting into a European Size 6. Wikipedia adds to my confusion telling me "Some people consider disordered-eating patterns that are not the result of a specific eating disorder to be less serious than symptoms of disorders such as anorexia nervosa. Others note that individual cases may involve serious problems with food and body image. Additionally, certain types of disordered eating can include symptoms from both classic cases of anorexia and bulimia, making disordered eating just as dangerous."
It makes me sad that I'm not the exception, that girls today are so lacking in self-esteem that I am just a drop in the ocean of girls on crash diets. I don't think I'll ever change, but I know that part of the reason I am a feminist is that I want to change things so my situation isn't normal.

Very well thought out, and sadly, extremely relevant to both myself & many of the girls that I know. Desire to change perceptions of disordered eating, etc. are a huge part of why I'm a feminist too.
Emmy @ at 4:45 pm, June 25th, 2012
I felt exactly the way you did until a book at my local public library randomly caught my attention. "Food: The Good Girl's Drug" by Sunny Sea Gold taught me that you don't have to be overweight, too thin, or in between to have an eating disorder. An eating disorder isn't and shouldn't be defined by a number on scale or the size someone wears. The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness defines eating disorders as: "serious disturbances in eating behavior, such as extreme and unhealthy reduction of food intake or severe overeating, as well as feelings of distress or extreme concern about body shape or weight." In fact, a person does not have to be diagnosed with anorexia or bulimia to have an eating disorder. The National Eating Disorders Association states that, "an eating disorder can include a combination of signs and symptoms of anorexia, bulimia, and/or binge eating disorder. While these behaviors may not be clinically considered a full syndrome eating disorder, they can still be physically dangerous and emotionally draining." This is when I realized I had a problem. I knew I wasn't happy constantly obsessing over my weight and feeling so negative about how my body looked, but I never thought it was a serious enough problem to deserve any attention. I always felt selfish for thinking the way that I did knowing that there were people who were struggling with serious eating disorders. But after reading Gold's book I realized, my behavior and my thoughts were so emotionally exhausting that my issues with food and body image did need attention.
The reality is that a constant obsession over clothing size, body shape, calories, nutrition, and exercise is not a healthy way to live no matter what the number on the scale. It doesn't matter whether we are diagnosed with an eating disorder or not; working towards our a version of ourselves that isn't excessively concerned with body weight and shape is a spark that can ignite a generation of girls and boys to feel inspired to challenge what our modern society defines as beautiful.
I am glad that as a feminist you are working towards this change, Grace, but believe that you can change! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this topic, this is definitely a conversation that needs to be had more often.

I go to an all-girls' school and some girls are into the calorie counting, but my friends and I are totally not, so I guess I'm lucky I fell into the right crowd. I recently had some badly needed cosmetic dental work done and I felt like such a non-feminist when I looked into the mirror after the procedure and said "OMG, I'm finally pretty!"
I recently gained like 5 pounds (my excuse is that I'm on Crohn's medication, although doc just told me that there is no weight gain side effect so I'll need to find another excuse) and I got really upset, but more over the fact that my clothes aren't fitting than I'm gaining weight.
Meg @ at 9:39 pm, June 28th, 2012
I would have described myself in the same way seven years ago. And it's also a huge part of why I am feminist today.
I want you to know that I did change my habits (the calorie counting, the constant thinking about food, exercising only as a way to burn calories, and the horrible anxiety and stress that comes with all that). It took a lot of work, a lot of creativity, and a lot of time to replace those habits with less harmful ones. But I did it, and though I still struggle with food and body at times, I am able to find joy in food and in exercise now. I even go through long periods where I am totally unconcerned with food or exercise, which is something that would have been incomprehensible to me back then.
Though I did not have a diagnosable eating disorder, I did see a therapist, which was an enormous help. Engaging in communities like Health at Every Size also helped, as well as finding exercise that I loved for the way it made me feel (not because it burned calories… yay for bellydance and yoga!).
So, I guess I just want to discourage you from resigning yourself to struggling like this forever. It takes time and hard work to change habits, but there is so much room for change.
And lastly — don't get down over the fact that you still care about that stuff even though you're now a feminist. Feelings don't just disappear that easily, especially when there is so much in society (patriarchy, capitalism, etc etc.) that has an interest in making you feel like that. Don't place the blame for that feeling on yourself — and don't let that feeling prevent you from trying to free yourself from it.
Morgan @ at 11:46 pm, June 28th, 2012
I struggled like you for a very long time. It's a very slippery slope. I was always extremely athletic and obsessed with my weight, my diet, and my distorted image in the mirror. Hating your body, hating yourself, because you haven't exercised enough or eaten to much is a deep deep struggle. It is not easy to overcome and it can be very difficult to notice. I was anorexic for 3 years, but it wasn't like I was a twig for all of them. It was slow and progressive.
The last year is when people started to notice. I was so invested in my self that my relationships were not real and all I really cared about was having the unrealistic gap between my legs. Luckily my support group banded together and I started treatment. The thing they don't tell you though is that is has to get a whole lot fucking worse before it gets better. And when you're at your weakest point thats when they send you to the hospital. It sucks and its hard. But if you're strong and can be life changing, as it should be. You have to be able to accept yourself. You have to be able to admit you have a problem. And you have to learn to love yourself. In August it will be a year since I was admitted to a hospital. Im stronger than ever, but i still struggle. I go to therapy once a week and am on anti depressants and up until i decided i wanted to eat whatever i wanted whenever i wanted, was on a meal plan.
What im really getting at though , is fuck wikipedia. It knows nothing. You're torturing yourself. You have an issue and if you wanted you could label it an eating disorder. I wish someone had before I hit my rock bottom. Get help while you're still aware of yourself and open to it. dont let the labels and bullshit stop you. Life is not about calories and being the best looking. FUCK SOCIETY and the status quo. What do they know?
Em @ at 5:27 pm, July 2nd, 2012
I found this piece sadly affirming…this didn't really happen to me until college when I started living with girls with eating disorders. I'm not saying I caught it from them, I'm just saying it being everywhere in the culture + living with them + giving up other addictions meant my mind focused on food more as an outlet for beating myself up.
I just do the best I can to accept myself today, one day at a time.
Chloe @ at 3:07 pm, July 18th, 2012
Food is one of the joys of life! I am very thankful that I haven't had to battle as intensely as you have for self acceptance. But every girl even the "perfect ones" have felt the same way. Although it is important to have healthy habits, indulgence is just as important. You only live once, so enjoy it! Bon apetit!!!! You deserve it, we all do

Stars Pay Tribute to Leslie Nielsen
Posted Monday November 29, 2010 1:07 PM GMT
He portrayed over 220 characters during his career in Hollywood, and Leslie Nielsen is being remembered by some of his biggest fans.
"American Idol" judge/talk radio host Ryan Seacrest wrote on his Twitter wall, "Sad to hear about Leslie Nielsen passing. To this day 'Airplane' is still one of my favorite comedies ever."
Meanwhile, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" funnyman Russell Brand said, "RIP. Leslie Nielsen, he will be missed" and included a famous quote from "Airplane."
The comments come just after the "Naked Gun" actor passed away on Sunday (November 28) at 5:34PM of complications from pneumonia. He was 84.

You are hereTags for Individual Scenic Items/Descriptions / BC / Takakkaw Falls - Yoho National Park, BC
Takakkaw Falls - Yoho National Park, BC
This composite photograph of Takakkaw Falls captures the Rocky Mountain beauty of Yoho National Park near Field, British Columbia. The photo is actually 26 photos stitched together to make this entire view of the Mount Daly.
This is the second highest waterfall in Canada and is a "must see" for anyone visiting Yoho National Park and the neighbouring Emerald Lake, BC. Both attractions are only 30 minutes from Lake Louise, Alberta and just a short hope away from Field, BC.
Water free falls for more than 400 feet before encountering a rocky tier and then continues its 800 foot descent. The entire height of the waterfall from top to bottom is over 1,200 feet! Fed by the Mount Daly Glacier, the falls has a constant water source even in late summer but the highest flow is in late spring. In the winter, brave souls have been known to ice-climb in the area but not the full height of waterfall.
The Takakkaw waterfall is 14 km from the Trans Canada Highway and just outside the town of Field BC. The access road closes in early fall until late spring so unless you really love long hikes in winter, it's best to visit the falls in summer.
Hiking trails are abundant in the area but most trails are considered strenuous. On the way to the top, adventure seekers will have to crawl through a narrow tunnel. Those wanting to explore the Mount Daly Glacier should have crevasse rescue skills and equipment (rescue crews are a long distance away).
The name 'Takakkaw' is a Cree Indian word meaning, "It is magnificent". With a rocky tier high up, the cascading water flairs out from the vertical wall creating a feathery veil of soft water. This is one of most popular sites to visit in the Canadian Rocky Mountain parks.
Driving Directions to Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park
Driving directions to the waterfall from Lake Louise, Alberta - Head west for 25 kilometers along the Trans Canada Highway (Hwy #1). You'll be crossing the Continental Divide which separates the two provinces as well as marks the borders between Banff & Yoho National Park.
Exit right onto Yoho Valley Road and follow for about 14 kilometers to the end.
Directions from Golden, BC - Drive 60 kilometers east along the Trans Canada Highway. 3 kilometers past the Field, BC exit, turn left onto Yoho Valley Road and follow for about 14 kilometers to the end.
The Yoho Valley Road is paved but narrow, windy and hilly and is not recommended for large RV's over 7 meters (21 feet) nor vehicles towing trailers. Trailers must be dropped off at a designated lot at the start of the road near the campground.
Large RV's will have to go up the second switchback backwards! For instructions on driving to the waterfall, visit or call the Visitor's Information Center in Field, BC (1-250-343-6783; open mid-May to Thanksgiving Weekend). The following video was taken along the access road.
The access road is closed in the winter and becomes a cross country ski trail as far as the switchbacks. After that, the trail is not maintained and does not have any services after that point.
Source: Drive BC - Current Driving Conditions, Field, BC.
Takakkaw Falls can be seen from a fair way back along the access road. Follow the short, paved path to the base of the waterfall where you'll have stunning views of the cascading water. If the mist is too cool, hike some of the unpaved trails and get excellent vantage points for photographs.

Part of a wave of classical-pop crossover artists around the turn of the century (Charlotte Church, Bond, Andrea Bocelli), Josh Groban achieved massive worldwide success straight out of the gate with his 2001 debut album. In fact, he veers considerably closer to pop than the aforementioned artists (can you picture Andrea Bocelli tackling Ultravox's "Vienna?"), but maintains enough of a classical/opera comportment and flavoring to appeal to stragglers on either side of the fence. His photogenic appearance and acting experience don't hurt his popularity either.

There are worse things in life than making your acting debut on the much ballyhooed season finale of Ally McBeal, though teen operatic baritone Josh Groban doesn''t seem destined to encounter them anytime soon. As the awkward high school student-client who asks the typically romance-jinxed Ally to his senior prom, Groban performed this debut album''s "You''re Still You" (adapted from film-composing legend Ennio Morricone''s Academy Award-nominated score for Malèna, with lyrics by Linda Thompson) as a heart-tugging, literal showstopper. The young phenom was just 17 when veteran producer-writer David Foster tapped him to fill in for Andrea Bocelli at rehearsals for the 1999 Grammys, where Groban found himself suddenly dueting with Celine Dion.
Indeed, such were his fortunes that the young Foster protégé was forced to drop out of Carnegie Mellon when professional commitments--including this record--interfered. And if this collection tends to hew sometimes uncomfortably close to Foster''s own MOR sonic instincts, the material offers enough challenges to display Groban''s talent and the potential of his warm, mature voice: a lyrical take on another Morricone classic, "Cinema Paradiso"; melancholy readings of Don McLean''s "Starry, Starry Night" and Albert Hammond''s "Alejate"; masterfully dramatic takes of the Neapolitan "Alla Luca Del Sole" and "Canto Alla Vita," the latter featuring the Corrs. Many of Groban''s performances here, including a neo prog-rock-opera take on Bach''s "Jesu, Joy of Man''s Desiring" (with Lili Haydn), seem both bigger and bolder than their precious musical frameworks, a telling hint that Grand Opera can''t be far from his grasp. As said earlier, there are worse things in life. --Jerry McCulley

First Princess Cruise -- wanted to like it BUT: Grand Princess Cruise Review by true45
Overall Member Rating
First Princess Cruise -- wanted to like it BUT
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Embarkation was efficient and fast -- boarded about noon. Our cabin was open to us and very nice condition but the toiletries & robes were not there -- quickly fixed by our steward who was good at his job throughout the trip. Cabin was ok except the shower was the smallest on any ship we have been on -- DH had been in crew cabins with bigger showers. Kept hitting my elbow -- not easy to get yourself clean. Removable shower heads definitely would be a plus. No place to store anything in bathroom. Garbage can open -- can be embarrassing for a woman.
Saw a man selling soda packages as we boarded - asked which dining room was open for lunch -- he said go to the buffet on More deck 14. Did not take his direction -- I had read here on Cruise Critic that there is a nice Dining Room lunch on embarkation and we found MDR open and had a wonderful lunch. The buffet is very crowded especially with some passengers carrying small luggage.
Muster drill was well done -- and personnel efficient and considerate to let us all perch on railings instead of standing unaided.
First evening for dinner we had personal pizza at the Pizzeria at the International Cafe -- lovely comfortable windowed space very good pizza - good service, In fact the International Cafe with the savory and sweet snacks, quiche, donuts, pastries, sandwiches (included in your fare) was one of our favorite places on the ship. But we spent alot of time there after buying a coffee card in search of decent coffee. The regular coffee is terrible and the capucchino (for charge) is better. It is a great spot for people watching and the stewards are the nicest we met on the ship. There is also a string quartet often.
Speaking of the entertainment, I must say that it was mostly boring -- the production show had good singers and dancers but dancing to recorded music. The swing band didn't swing. On the other hand, the party band Opus was excellent and the dance party on deck was the most fun -- although it would have been nice if they had served at least snacks or dessert. Also funny was the comedian Al Katz. One caveat about the Lounges & Theater -- get seats very early. There weren't enough seats for all that wanted to attend the shows especially the comedy shows in the lounge. There was standing room only. We saw several movies a few on deck on the big screen -- there Princess has it down. Nice covers on the lounge chairs and popcorn & blankets distributed. Also movies in the lounge. There was a craft beading demo overflowing with people and a warning that the next demo would be even more people yet the venue was the same -- lots of people got no help with their projects. I was the last one at one event and a nice passenger took pity on me & helped me finish my project. Good idea but not nicely executed.
Lots of selling going on. At one point on my way to the craft demo alone I was approached in the hallway by someone trying to sell me teeth whitening. I said no thank you -- but she went on telling me that she would be available the next day should I change my mind. If I wasn't suffering with a tooth ache I still wouldn't have wanted to get treatments by strangers on a cruise ship. In the cabin there is a form -- "what can we do to make your cruise better?" I filled it out and asked that the soliciting stop and the coffee was awful but there was no acknowledgement of the form and the solicitation didn't stop.
We had "Anytime Dining" -- don't let the name fool you -- there was no Anytime Dining for us unless we wanted to eat at 8pm. We were told to make reservations but there were none for the early times. DH's dinner was OK but mine was very tough beef. The waiter was ok and offered to replace it. We tried again next night to get early dinner but had to wait till 8pm -- this time husband was served dinner, & it was OK. Mine, the beef was served but the waiter (different man) put it down in front of me but never reappeared until time to take away the empty plates. Mine was untouched (DH finished eating). I told him about the problem and said he should have checked with me. He said that he was too busy to check back on us and that I should have found him. Not the way to serve the meal in any restaurant and a very poor attitude -- he should have checked that the food was ok. It was dried out and way overcooked. Next night we again couldn't get early reservations but went relatively early and waited. Were told that it would be a 15-20 minute wait but it was more like twice that. We finally spoke to the Maitre D Roberto who was very understanding and found us a table for the next night (early) and with a wonderful waiter Mel who helped us the rest of the nights. The food was mostly ok. Wonderful are the pastas -- fettucini alfredo was perfect and ravioli also. The system just doesn't work even though Roberto was doing his best to make it so. Lots of people with beepers waiting for tables to get in.
The Lido Buffet was fine. Attendants serve coffees & cold drinks at your table which are nicely set. On one occasion a passenger tried to enter the food area without using the hand-sanitizer and was stopped by the Princess rep at the entry. He tried to say he had just washed his hands but she wasn't having any. Can't say I blame Princess for being strict on that. On another occasion a man asked the Princess rep at the entry what it was in the tray of salad. She said to him to read the card at the top of the display but it said something like "salad" a one-word non description. He asked again what it was -- she wouldn't help him. It was actually a very delicious mozzarella ball salad. It would have taken barely seconds to be nice to the man that was clearly embarrassed & for her to look closely at what was in the dish or take the extra step to find out.
Tried room service breakfast -- limited selection and not very good. There is an egg sandwich -- very soggy and not as good as the fast food version.
On another day, at lunchtime a man asked for a panini at the International Cafe and was told by the steward that he couldn't heat the sandwiches because the machine wasn't working but that wasn't good enough for the man who continued to ask again & again to heat that panini. On formal night, passing in the hallway coming up to a group of people who were passing gas loudly and laughing about it -- luckily made a quick right turn (not children either). At the elevator, we pressed the up button, and an elevator opened going down -- passengers on the elevator yelled out -- look at those nasty people, they don't want to get on with us. A big laugh for them but we going in the other direction. Not very nice. DH got bumped 3 times from behind by those mobility carts -- again, they laughed. Not so funny if you are the one bumped into.
Service very uneven -- on other cruiselines the officers and crew pass by smile, say hello, even sometimes short conversations. Didn't find that on Princess. The only opportunity to meet the Captain (usually occurs during a show in the Theater on other lines) was during dinnertime so we missed it. By the way, we missed a port (their private island) because they said it was too rough although we had no feeling of rough seas.
Casino was very tight -- did not see winners -- and certainly not me so I held onto my purse for most of the cruise.
Chairhogs were out in abundance -- never saw so many empty lounge chairs with just a book or one shoe -- very inconsiderate. People wandering around looking for a place to sit. Princess personnel had to see there were so many unoccupied chairs and people needing them but they didn't seem to care. Ship appeared very crowded alot of the time.
One afternoon I used a public ladies room and there was a passenger very upset about the way the service desk treated her when she had a surprise woman's problem discovered in the ladies room. She said the Princess rep would not help her -- said they didn't have what she needed. Was very surprised that she would be treated this way. Just one more example of poor service and attitude. I did make sure that she was OK.
During dinner on only one formal night the ship's photographer came to our table -- I asked if my husband can stand behind me in the picture. She said no that is not the way it is done. Again, not nice attitude. We usually buy at least 1 or 2 pictures per cruise but this time bought none. No time was taken to take nice pictures.
Curacao was nice -- we just walked around the town. Aruba was nicer -- we took a ship's excursion with a tour & boat ride -- well worth the money.
Disembarkation was efficient.
All in all we were very disappointed in Princess. Less

Since 1909 the international community has worked to eradicate the abuse of narcotics. A century on, the efforts are widely acknowledged to have failed, and worse, have spurred black market violence and human rights abuses. How did this drug control system arise, why has it proven so durable in the face of failure, and is there hope for reform?

Hong Kong-listed property company Great Eagle Group has snapped up the five-star Observatory Hotel in Sydney for about $40 million.
The purchase adds to the group's 13-strong portfolio of international hotels managed under its Langham and Langham Place brands. The group already has a hotel in Melbourne and also owns hotels in Asia, Europe and the United States.
The hotel was sold by the famed London-listed Orient-Express Hotels.
"Strategically, this purchase signals the group's plans for long-term expansion in the Pacific region," Langham Hospitality Group chief executive Brett Butcher said.
The 96-room hotel's Georgian architecture, reminiscent of a grand 19th-century home, fitted with the Langham brand, he said. "We're thrilled to bring Langham into Sydney and we're well placed to continue to position this hotel at the top of the market," he said.
Orient-Express will keep running the hotel until the deal closes in August but the sale marks its exit from hotels in this country. The group entered the Australian market in late 1999, when it paid more than $60 million for two luxury properties.
It picked up the Observatory Hotel and the Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa from Japan's Nara Corporation. In late 2009, a group of investors led by George Saad bought Lilianfels for $21 million.
Orient-Express Hotels interim chief executive Philip Mengel said it was "a key objective of the company's previously stated long-term strategy to optimise its global portfolio for the purpose of reinvesting capital and improving its balance sheet."
He said Orient-Express "believes in the long-term potential of the Observatory Hotel, but it was not core to the company's continuing business strategy."
The sale was negotiated by Craig Collins and Mark Durran of Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels. Mr Collins said Australian CBD hotels continued to attract interest. "The Observatory Hotel is no exception, being widely contested by a range of offshore and domestic groups," he said.

Washington DC (SPX) Nov 30, 2012
A cornerstone of physics may require a rethink if findings at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are confirmed. Recent experiments suggest that the most rigorous predictions based on the fundamental theory of electromagnetism-one of the four fundamental forces in the universe, and harnessed in all electronic devices-may not accurately account for the behavior of atoms in exotic, highly charged states.
The theory in question is known as quantum electrodynamics, or QED, which physicists have held in high regard for decades because of its excellent track record describing electromagnetism's effects on matter.
In particular, QED has been especially useful in explaining the behavior of electrons, which orbit every atomic nucleus. But for all of QED's successes, there are reasons to believe that QED may not provide a complete picture of reality, so scientists have looked for opportunities to test it to ever-increasing precision.
One way to test parts of QED is to take a fairly heavy atom-titanium or iron, for example-and strip away most of the electrons that circle its nucleus.
"If 20 of titanium's 22 electrons are removed, it becomes a highly charged ion that looks in many ways like a helium atom that has been shrunk to a tenth its original size," says NIST physicist John Gillaspy, a member of the research team.
"Ironically, in this unusual state, the effects of QED are magnified, so we can explore them in more detail."
Among the many things QED is good for is predicting what will happen when an electron orbiting the nucleus collides with a passing particle. The excited electron gets bumped up momentarily to a higher energy state but quickly falls back to its original orbit. In the process, it gives off a photon of light, and QED tells what color (wavelength) that photon will have.
The NIST team found that electrons in highly charged helium-like ions that are excited in this fashion give off photons that are noticeably different in color than QED predicts.
While the results-obtained using NIST's Electron Beam Ion Trap Facility-are interesting enough on their own to warrant publication, Gillaspy says he hopes the finding will stimulate others to measure the emitted photons with even greater accuracy.
Currently, the NIST team is preparing to release the results of measurements of other colors of light emitted from the exotic atoms that bolster the initial findings.
"What the NIST experiment found is interesting enough that it merits attention," says Jonathan Sapirstein, a professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame.
"Independent calculations should be done to confirm the theory, and other experiments should also confirm the findings. However, if no errors are found in the theory and the NIST experiment is correct, some physics outside of QED must be present."

Patricia Heaton Opens Up with Oprah
Transitioning from her hit show "Everybody Loves Raymond" to current series "The Middle," Patricia Heaton has been a mainstay on major network television for quite the long stretch.
Having quite the devout fanbase, the Ohio native most recently partook in an interview about the road to success and her current doings in the February 2011 issue of O magazine - which hits newsstands next week.
Some of the highlights from Miss Heaton's O interview are as follows:
Fear of failure
"Acting had always been my identity, so when my career wasn't panning out, I felt worthless I couldn't figure out my place in the world and was terrified to admit to my family – and myself – that I might fail."
Helping others:
"I have always believed that when you're feeling sorry for yourself, the best thing to do is help someone else. So when I saw a flier at my church for a four-day volunteer project at an orphanage in a Mexican border town, I signed up."
Aha! Moment:
"I've never worked so hard in my life…When I returned home I felt relaxed and whole, like my spirit had gotten a massage. I realized that a life spent serving others would be just as fulfilling as acting. I knelt down in my bedroom and prayed, 'God if you want me to go in a different direction, just show me. I will follow.'"
Beliefs overcame:
"My belief that I couldn't hold my head up if I wasn't a famous actor had been paralyzing me. Every audition had felt so weighted. Before each I would think, I'm too fat, I'm wearing the wrong thing. What will I do if I don't' get his part?
Her big break:
"But after my time in Mexico, all of that negativity and second-guessing disappeared. Soon enough, my career started picking up. Two month after my trip, I landed my first big role, in the TV series Thirtysomething. After nine years of struggle, success finally came to me once I stopped worrying so much about finding it."

Hi, friends! Just a quick note to tell you that Emily and I are happily busy with projects and other ventures (and toddlers!) during this season of our lives, so we are not taking new clients for the foreseeable future. We will continue to do webinars and individual consulting, but we aren't taking full branding clients anymore. If you are interested in doing consulting or coaching with both of us, email Kristin at laracaseymedia.com for details!
On a recent trip to our shared hometown, our amazing friends Rae and Wes Leytham snapped these photos of Grace and Brady in my mamas kitchen!
Making messes happen : )
Follow Emily and I on our Instagram accounts for details on upcoming webinars. Here's to a great 2014 ahead, friends!

We can hardly believe it's already MID-2013! Where has the year gone!? We are so excited for the launches we have coming up. Our clients have worked so hard and have truly transformed their brands into powerful, authentic businesses inside and out. We can't wait to reveal 15 new powerful brands to you very soon!
Lara and I were going to complete the year with just three new brands, but after much prayer, we had a lightbulb moment! We're going to create FIVE NEW BRANDS … in a very special format. We'll be taking the fall/winter holidays off and Lara has a magazine coming out in November, so we only have from July to September to complete these new brands. Our usual branding process takes 12 weeks, but we've designed an Express Powerful Branding Process for five clients who are ready to work hard and make their new brands happen ASAP!
The total cost for this Express Powerful Branding process is $6000. Most of our clients choose our $10,000 Tier, but we won't have time to complete five new brands at that level, so we've created this simplified faster option!
DETAILS: You must reserve your space by July 1st so you have time to complete your PowerWork (branding homework). We will begin with Power Sessions to kick off the branding process for each client on July 18th. We'll work together for 8 exciting weeks to get your new brand ready to fly and then you will begin your site design with the web team of your choice (we have some great recommendations!).
Again, this is only for those who are ready to work hard and make big things happen. If you want to launch a new brand before the end of the year, this is your chance!
To reserve your new brand and for details, email Kristin, our amazing project manager.
Make it happen!
Emily + Lara
P.S. Come see us at Making Things Happen in October! 20 of the 60 seats are already sold!

Hi friends! Oh my, we've been busy bees this year at Making Brands Happen. Emily and I are over-the-moon about our clients this year and cannot wait for our 20 or so big launches coming up in the next few weeks. Every one of our clients has worked SO hard and transformed from the inside-out. It's been inspiring for us to watch the light bulbs go off and see big dreams realized.
We're officially SOLD OUT for 2012 launches and now accepting 2013 clients. We are fiercely committed to doing our best work and have some exciting new options for the new year (I cannot believe this year is drawing to a close already!). If you are interested in Making Brands Happen for 2013, we're now having prospective clients do an initial consulting session with yours truly so we can really get to know you and your goals to see if we are the perfect fit for you. To book your initial session with me, just shoot Marissa and email and she'll get you scheduled! Since I'm knee-deep in making a magazine happen right now, initial sessions will either be scheduled for late this fall or early 2013.
Wishing you all a blessed fall ahead! I personally cannot wait for the leaves to start turning, the NC State Fair to open and for Starbucks to roll out all things holiday! Yeehaw! What are you excited about?
Love y'all!
P.S. We'd LOVE to see y'all at Making Things Happen this fall! Join us.

Hello, friends! Marissa here! We hope that your summer has been wonderful so far, and hasn't been flying by nearly as fast as ours! This week we had two BIG launches from the Making Brands Happen family!
First up: we were absolutely thrilled to launch our fabulous client Ms. Shannon's gorgeous NEW brand and site! Her stunning images have a great new home to be shown off in!
Special thanks, and BIG hugs to Cathy from Love Inspired for her hard work and talent on Shannon's site and blog!
Doesn't Shannon have the best smile? We're so thrilled for you, S!
Next up, we have the much-anticipated launch of our own Mrs. Emily Ley's new SHOP!!
Emily's shop has been a labor of love. She designed it to make life just a little sweeter for all of the busy business women, super moms, pig-tail brushers, tailgate hostesses and overall awesome-makers.
From gorgeous personalized iPhone cases (I'm obsessed with mine – see if you can spot it on the site!) to unbelievably adorable Great Day Plates™, Emily hopes these paper and gift products impart a bit of Southern charm into your busy days and help you focus on what matters most.
Besides her overwhelming love for classic, timeless patterns and gorgeous monograms the mission behind these products is to help each of us focus on our TREASURE. Why are gorgeous iPhone cases awesome? Because they encourage us to flip those puppies upside down, show off our pretty case and get back to the people right in front of us!
And just you wait! The NEW Emily Ley Simplified Planners will be available for preorder on July 20th! I cannot wait to put mine together!
To celebrate Emily is give out a little love to all our sweet friends! Just enter "OHHAPPYDAY" at checkout for 10% off iPhone cases until July 20th!
P.S. All of Emily's lovely images are courtesy of the incredibly talented and adorable Nancy Ray.

All past webinar attendees will receive admission into this separate session. We'll be sending out an email to all past (and Get Published) attendees today with details to get registered for the Q&A.

We are SO excited to have begun the Making Things Happen tour in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, yesterday! We had such a fantastic group! Over the next ten days, we'll be traveling (with Gina Zeidler!) to Atlanta, DC, NYC and Boston! We're so thrilled to begin this journey again and meet so many of you. We also launched our brand new website (thanks, Cathy!)
We've been working with a number of new Making Brands Happen clients and can't wait to reveal over twenty-five new brands this fall. We only have four MBH client spots left for the remainder of 2012 (two beginning in May, one beginning in June and one beginning in July). If you're interested in reserving one of these spots, or would like more details, send us a note.
The first round of our Making Brands Happen Business & Branding Webinars has been FANTASTIC! Hundreds of you joined us for Powerful Branding, The Client Experience and (will join us for) Get Published (on May 16)! Our first series was so popular, we're offering the series again!

We're also SO excited to announce our new POWER SESSIONS! Sessions are 30-40 minutes in length and are done via Skype or phone with both of Lara and Emily at the same time. We've already done so many successful sessions and the feedback has been WONDERFUL! We will send you a very thorough brand evaluation to complete before the call and take a significant amount of time to study your brand beforehand. Only two sessions per month will be offered at a discounted rate of five hundred dollars. The prep work we send you beforehand covers your goals, vision for the future and we also ask that you send us three focal areas/questions that you'd like us to cover in your power session. These sessions are intensive. We pack as much as possible into each power session to give you a solid foundation for big change. Email Marissa for more details or to reserve your spot.
And… we are missing our babies so much! Well, Emily is. Lara says goodbye to little Grace for a week today. We'll miss these little ones, but these adventures are so worth it (that and all the snuggles we get when we get home!)

Further update
Booked in with indi, picked up following day, tech said no faults found! I don't believe he actually looked at it, I know I have a headlamp steper issue that comes up all the time, won't be going there again, i completely stripped the ccc down to the bare frame and checked what I could with limited knowledge and tools, did not find anything, on a plus I managed to get the discs out by releasing the motor screw and manually winding the cog, I have concluded that the ccc is dead, just the fan spinning and surround lights on, have to pull the fuse to stop battery going flat
looked on eBay they are about £400 + does any one know what fails on the ccc, or have one for sale? I am going to ring the dealer for a price tomorrow you never know!! Would love to be able to fix and post results to help fellow members with fridrive
Will continue to update any progress.

How does Ht:/Dig handle frames?
Most big search machines can not handle it properly.
Am I correct in assuming that Ht:/Dig will be the same.
(I normally don't use frames - but clients seem to know more than
me about frames and search engines :-))
PS: I'm using ht:/dig at http://www.edoc.co.za/search
Still a lot of tuning to do after round 1 :-))

Website Defacement Monitor
What is Web Defacement?
A business's public face is its website. Any unauthorized changes to a site can damage the reputation of the business and seriously compromise its relationship with its users.
Catbird's Defacement Monitor proactively identifies any unauthorized change to a corporate website and instantly notifies appropriate personnel.
Web site defacement refers to an attack that 1) alters the content of your website with potentially offensive or erroneous graphics and text or, even more serious, 2) places imperceptible code on your site which is activated when a user access it, often triggering a download of malicious code onto the user's hard drive which may subsequently be controlled by a hacker remotely. Website defacement is a problem that's on the rise, but most businesses and hosting firms do not manage this critical threat.
Protection against malicious or inadvertent website changes
An alteration to a website could be the first indication that a pharming attack is underway. While pharmers often redirect users to lookalike "spoofed" sites, another type of pharming attack makes a subtle change to a legitimate site in order to harvest confidential data or insert malicious code. Catbird's Defacement Monitor protects a company's website by establishing "baseline content"–approved content for the web site–and comparing it to the live site every 2 minutes, every day. If a mismatch occurs, Catbird's network of agents will immediately detect this and send an alert, so the problem can be addressed before customers are at risk.
The Defacement Monitor will also identify unintentional or unauthorized changes to corporate websites by company employees, helping to maintain control of the official company brand and messaging.
How It Works
With the Defacement Monitor, a business establishes "baseline content" - approved content for the Web site. The Defacement Monitor compares the baseline content to your live site every 2 minutes, every day-and immediately alerts the system administrator if a mismatch occurs. With such rapid notification, the administrator can address the problem before the customers notice. The monitor is also flexible. If you have content that changes continually on your page, you can set a threshold regarding the number of changes from your baseline. When the threshold is exceeded, an alarm is triggered.

NYBROOKLYN-L ArchivesArchiver > NYBROOKLYN > 2011-12 > 1324441789
Subject: Re: [BKLYN] Elizabeth (Elisa) Christiansen
Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 23:29:49 -0500 (EST)
I found an Elizabeth Christiansen, buried 6/9/1918 at Green-wood.com which
is Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. Phone # 718-768-7300. I found a
Christian buried 3-11-1916 interred in a different section so I don't think
it is her husband. When you go to the site, scroll down to bottom of page
and click on last box, bottom right with a US flag showing. There are many
Christiansen's buried there in different sections.
In a message dated 12/20/2011 7:51:53 P.M. Eastern Standard Time,
Im looking for the death date or certificate for Elizabeth Christiansen,
mostly seen as Elisa or Eliza. She was born in Denmark October 21, 1838.
The last time I find anything on her was on the 1910 census living with her
son August Christiansen at 337 Guernsey St. in Brooklyn, NY. Im assuming she
died between 1910 and 1920 but I cant find her death record on the
IGG...there is a woman with her name on the IGG but the birth date would be about
6 yrs off so I dont think thats her.
I have a distant cousin in Denmark who is writing an article for a
genealogy magazine about her and she has asked me if I can help her find her death
date or where she might be buried.
Her husband died before 1900, his name was Christian Peter Christiansen
and was born about 1841 in Denmark.
Any help appreciated.

Daniel Kleinman
Uneven Commercialization: Contradiction and Conflict in the Identity and Practices of American Universities3:30 pm Curtin 118
How and to what extent is higher education in the United States becoming commercialized?
Daniel Kleinman argues that widespread claims about the commercialization of higher education are overbroad. For example, although much scholarship on the topic is based on limited data, it still makes arguments about a growing, steamroller-like process of commercialization. And although the scholarship is typically synchronic, it makes assertions about change over time. Moreover, authors' contentions often prove to be anecdotal, rather than systematic or systemic.
Kleinman uses a mixture of close and distant readings of academic leadership publications to paint a picture of the commercialization of U.S. higher education as a complicated, uneven, contradictory, and multifaceted process. He focuses on two measures of commercialization—the treatment of students as consumers and the use of strategic planning by academic administrators—and suggests that the extent to which commercial identities and practices are viewed as legitimate varies across time, by institutional type, and by an actor's social position.

Tips to hide tabs in Microsoft® Excel 2003
What is the need to hide tabs in Microsoft Excel 2003? Learn how to hide tabs and fix issues that may arise while doing so.
Microsoft Excel 2003 comes as a part of the Microsoft Office 2003 productivity kit. Microsoft Excel 2003 is a useful application which can be used for accounting purposes. Users can use theMicrosoft Excel 2003 formulas for easy calculation of mathematic values. Microsoft Excel 2003 formulas can also be used for checking or converting text data. The features of Microsoft Excel 2003 include importing XML data, AutoFilter, synchronizing worksheets, etc. Worksheet in Microsoft Excel 2003 is more like a page in a notebook. Each worksheet in Microsoft Excel 2003 can be used for representing a set of data. Independent formulas and calculations can be done in each MS Excel worksheet. Worksheets are represented using tabs and are placed in the bottom of the screen. Microsoft Excel 2003 has the option to hide/unhide these tabs. This can be done for hiding fewer sheets or all sheets of the Microsoft Excel 2003.
Discussed below are ways to hide tabs in Microsoft Excel 2003 and steps to fix issues related with it:
- Need of hiding
- Ways to hide tabs
- Ways to fix issues
Need of hiding
Microsoft Excel 2003 is a tool which is mainly designed for accounting purposes. The accounting works in a corporate business include confidential data that should be protected from unauthorized users. Hiding the tabs of the important worksheets will be an ideal way to protect the data. By hiding tabs, other users may not even know that a worksheet is present over there.
Ways to hide tabs
In order to hide tabs, launch Microsoft Excel 2003 and then open 'Tools' menu. Click on 'Options' and select the 'View' tab. Clear the checkbox near 'Sheet tabs' by clicking on it. This will hide all of the sheet tabs in Microsoft Excel 2003. In order to hide one or fewer tabs, click on the worksheet tab you want to hide. Click on the 'Format' tool. The 'Format' tool is placed under 'Cells' group in the 'Home' tab. After clicking the 'Format' tool select 'Hide & Unhide' and then select 'Hide'. The selected sheet will now be hided.
Sometimes hiding tabs in Microsoft Excel 2003 might not work. This is usually because the workbook structure may be set in protected mode. Protecting a worksheet disables the 'Hide' option for that worksheet. In order to unprotect the worksheet, click on 'Tools' menu and select 'Protection'. Then click 'Protect Workbook' and uncheck the check box near 'Structure'. Click 'OK' and the worksheet will now be in unprotected state. This will enable the 'Hide' option and you can hide tabs in Microsoft Excel 2003.

The last Force x Air fusion Sneaker News showed you – the Air Jordan Force Fusion XII Obsidian – was met with high praise from fans and detractors alike due to the shoe's tit-for-tat resemblance to the original Air Jordan it took after. The latest installment of the Air Jordan Force Fusion legacy is the Air Jordan X, and like the AJF12 Obsidian, this upcoming fusion impeccably hybridizes the Air Jordan X upper with a toe, strap, and midsole of an Air Force 1 Mid. The Jordan branding found on the tag of the X is placed on the strap, and the most prominent design features of the Air Jordan X, the bottom sole chronicling Jordan's achievements, is also pressed together with a classic AF1 sole. Check out this first look at the Air Jordan Force Fusion 10 in the "Steel" colorway and let us know what you think of the AJF10. Marquee Sole.

Email - Labeling, May 2,2012 - HPC Cord Blood
From: Sista, Ramani V
Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 1:59 PM
To: 'Miller, Sharon'
Cc: Freed, Brian; Fan, Yong
Subject: BLA 125391 - Labeling
Importance: High
Attachments: PI draft 02May2012.doc; Label comments.pdf
Hi Sharon,
Please see attached Labeling - package insert (PI) and changes to carton and container labels, for hematopoietic progenitor cells, cord blood (HPC, CORD BLOOD). The content of the PI is very similar to New York Blood's Hemacord, since they all fall in the same class. Some of the clinical information and instructions for use at the end of PI in your label will be different from Hemacord, as this information is specific to your file. As you can see from the comments in the document we are working on the clarification of your data sources in the clinical sections. Please review the PI and let us know by Monday, May 7, 2012, if you have concerns or issues. The instructions for use are not included in this version of PI since our CMC team is still working on it.
We would like to schedule a call next week, either Monday or Tuesday, to discuss the changes for the carton and container labeling.
Please also note that there will be no pre-marketing commitments or requirements for this file.
Please acknowledge receipt and let me know if you have questions.

Cassandra is doing fine. She is always around me like a bal and chain in the home. Kun was mostly hiding the first days and is now staying out in view. Both of my remaining cats are enjoying the low window ledges to watch the outdoors now.

Professor Sherri Burr recently concluded the 11th season of Arts Talk, a cable-access television show that provides students in her Art and Entertainment Law classes a hands-on opportunity to assist in television production. Students draft legal documents, such as release agreements for guests to sign, secure guests for the show and help with all aspects of production.
Burr created the television show, in which she interviews artists, entertainers and publicists, during a visiting professorship at the University of Hawaii. When she returned to the UNM School of Law, she brought the show with her and it has been broadcast on Channel 27 since the fall of 1999.
"My goal was to provide law students a chance to get to know some of the artists they may eventually represent and to expose them to television production, which they may eventually have to protect," she says.
Through the years, her guests have included cellist Yo-Yo Ma, entertainment lawyer Johnnie Cochran and New Mexico authors Rudolfo Anaya and Max Evans. In the photo, Burr is interviewing Robert Mirabal, an internationally recognized Taos Pueblo musician.
The show will air on Thursdays throughout May at 10 p.m. on Channel 27. The schedule is as follows:
