Before Haselton, Presiding Judge, and Armstrong, Judge, and Rosenblum, Judge.
Defendant appeals a judgment based on an arbitrator's award of damages in plaintiff's favor.Ā Defendant assigns error to the trial court's denial of his petition to vacate the arbitration award and the court's entry of the judgment.Ā He argued to the trial court that, because plaintiff's attorney was represented in an unrelated matter by an attorney in the arbitrator's law firm, the court was required to vacate the award under ORS 36.705 based on "evident partiality" by the arbitrator.Ā The court ruled that defendant had not made a timely formal objection to the arbitrator's participation and, moreover, that defendant had failed to establish evident partiality.Ā Defendant appeals.Ā We conclude that defendant sufficiently objected to the arbitrator's participation, but that the record supports the trial court's finding as to evident partiality.Ā Accordingly, we affirm.
We take the following facts from the record.Ā The arbitration at issue arose from a real estate transaction between the parties.Ā The transaction led to a dispute between the parties, the details of which are not material to this case.Ā As a result of the dispute, plaintiff filed a claim for damages with Arbitration Services of Portland (ASP), in accordance with an arbitration provision in the earnest money agreement.Ā The parties selected an arbitrator, Batchelor, from a list provided by ASP, and an arbitration hearing was scheduled for August 1, 2007.Ā About two weeks before the hearing, plaintiff brought in a new attorney, Mutnick, to represent him at the hearing.Ā Around the same time, Mutnick, who was personally involved in an unrelated legal matter, hired another lawyer, Glade, to represent him in that matter.Ā Glade is a partner in Batchelor's law firm.
At the beginning of the hearing on August 1, Batchelor informed the parties that he had become aware of the relationship between Mutnick and Glade.Ā He gave the parties an opportunity to speak privately with their respective attorneys, after which defendant objected to Batchelor's continued service as arbitrator.Ā Batchelor overruled the objection, but, in the presence of the parties' attorneys, he called the ASP administrator, Damis, and explained the situation.Ā Damis agreed that Batchelor could continue as the arbitrator.Ā The hearing then resumed with no further objection by defendant.Ā Batchelor issued a written decision on August 28, 2007.Ā He ruled in plaintiff's favor and awarded plaintiff approximately $66,000 in damages.
Plaintiff thereafter petitioned the trial court to confirm the arbitration award.Ā Defendant responded with a petition to vacate the award.Ā He argued that the representation of plaintiff's attorney by Batchelor's law firm caused "evident partiality" under ORS 36.705(1)(b)(A), and that that statute required the court to vacate the award.
At the hearing on the parties' respective petitions, the court described the relationship between Batchelor's law firm and Mutnick as an "apparent conflict" and an "actual conflict" and expressed surprise that the arbitration had gone forward.Ā However, the court noted that, aside from defendant's oral objection to Batchelor's continued participation, "nothing formal took place" until after the award was issued.Ā The court opined that defendant's counsel "should have acted sooner to do something instead of waiting for an award and then have it not go his way and then complain."Ā The court then ruled on defendant's petition:
"[T]he language of the statute is may vacate the award under the circumstance if it's evident partiality.
"I don't find that.Ā I--and it's may, not shall.Ā And given the duration of time that passed between the arbitration happening and any kind of formal objection taking place beyond the oral objection, I don't find--I'll make two findings.
"One, I think that there--there's a time delay that's not reasonable, and so for that reason, I'm denying the motion to vacate.
"And then the second piece is that on the record that's before me, I don't see anything that would lend itself to an objective finding of evident partiality on behalf of Mr. Batchelor.Ā And so * * * for those two reasons, I'm denying the motion."
The court entered an order confirming the arbitration award and, ultimately, a judgment in conformity with the award.Ā This appeal followed.
Defendant challenges both bases for the trial court's ruling.Ā Because the court articulated independent bases for denying defendant's petition to vacate the award, to prevail on appeal, defendant must show that both bases were erroneous.Ā We begin with the court's finding that defendant delayed unreasonably in objecting formally to Batchelor's service as arbitrator.Ā Defendant argues that he used the sole mechanism for objecting that was available to him before the award was made, namely, ASP's Arbitration Rule 12, which provides:
"Arbitrator Challenge Procedure.Ā At any time prior to the rendering of the award, but as soon as practicable after acquiring such information, any party may challenge an arbitrator on the basis of partiality, bias, financial or personal interest in the result of the arbitration, or past or current relationship with any party, a party's representatives, a party's attorney, a witness, or another arbitrator (if any).Ā The challenging party shall inform ASP of such information in writing and serve a copy thereof on the other parties.Ā If the arbitrator denies such information or denies that it would affect the arbitration and therefore declines to resign, ASP shall determine whether the arbitrator should be disqualified, and the decision of ASP shall be conclusive on the parties."(1)
(Boldface in original.)Ā Defendant acknowledges that the rule requires that the objection be made in writing, but he asserts that, under ORS 36.650(6), which requires only substantial compliance with the procedural rules of an arbitration organization as a condition precedent to vacatur by a court, his oral objection was sufficient under the circumstances.
We agree.Ā Defendant's oral objection at the arbitration proceeding and the events the followed satisfied the purposes of Rule 12.Ā Defendant informed Batchelor and plaintiff of his objection to Batchelor's service and gave Batchelor and plaintiff the opportunity to express their respective positions.Ā Batchelor's call to Damis informed ASP of the objection.Ā Under the rule, Damis's determination that Batchelor should not be disqualified was conclusive, so defendant filing his objection in writing would have served no purpose.Ā Under the circumstances, defendant substantially complied with the rule.Ā Furthermore, there was no other mechanism for objecting other than a petition to vacate the award under ORS 36.705, which defendant timely filed.Ā It follows that, to the extent that the trial court denied defendant's petition based on delay, the court erred.
We turn to the trial court's determination that defendant failed to establish evident partiality.Ā Defendant renews the contention that the relationship between Batchelor's law firm and plaintiff's counsel created evident partiality by Batchelor and that, as a result, the court was required by ORS 36.705(1) to vacate the award.Ā ORS 36.705 provides, in part:
"(1) Upon petition to the court by a party to an arbitration proceeding, the court shall vacate an award made in the arbitration proceeding if:
"(a) The award was procured by corruption, fraud or other undue means;
"(b) There was:
"(A) Evident partiality by an arbitrator appointed as a neutral arbitrator;
"(B) Corruption by an arbitrator; or
"(C) Misconduct by an arbitrator prejudicing the rights of a party to the arbitration proceeding[.]"
The term "evident partiality" is not statutorily defined.Ā The parties disagree as to its meaning.Ā According to plaintiff, for the party objecting to the award to establish evident partiality, it must be obvious from the surrounding circumstances that partiality affected the arbitrator's decision.Ā In defendant's view, the term is much more broad and includes not only actual partiality, but the appearance of partiality as well.Ā
The meaning of the term "evident partiality" is an issue of statutory construction.Ā To resolve that issue, we begin by looking to the text and context of ORS 36.705.Ā State v. Gaines, 346 Or 160, 171, 206 P3d 1042 (2009).Ā The statute is part of a statutory scheme that derived from the Uniform Arbitration Act, which was promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL).Ā ORS 36.735 provides that, "[i]n applying and construing ORS 36.600 to 36.740, consideration must be given to the need to promote uniformity of the law with respect to its subject matter among states that enact it."Ā The NCCUSL's commentary to the uniform act helps to explicate the meaning of the statutory terms, so it provides a useful tool for promoting uniformity of the law, and we consider it where appropriate.Ā See Torres v. Mason, 315 Or 386, 389, 848 P2d 592 (1993) (relying on commentary to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act in construing Oregon's version of the statute).
To determine the meaning of "evident partiality," we begin with the terms themselves.Ā The common meaning of "partiality" is "the inclination to favor one side."Ā Webster's Third New Int'l Dictionary 1646 (unabridged ed 2002); see also id. (defining "partial" as "inclined to favor one party in a cause or one side of a question more than the other: biased, predisposed" (formatting in original)).Ā "Inclination," in turn, means "a particular disposition of mind or character : propensity, bent" or "a tendency to a particular aspect, state, character, or action."Ā Id. at 1143 (formatting in original); see also id. (defining "inclined" as "having inclination, disposition, or tendency").
The common meaning of "evident" is "capable of being perceived esp[ecially] by sight : distinctly visible : being in evidence : discernable[;] * * * clear to the understanding : obvious, manifest, apparent."Ā Id. at 789 (formatting in original); see also id. (stating that synonyms of "evident" include "apparent, patent, manifest, plain, clear, distinct, obvious, [and] palpable" and that, "[s]ince evident rather naturally suggests evidence, it may imply the existence of signs and indications that must lead to an identification or inference" (formatting in original)).
The common definition of "partiality" forecloses plaintiff's argument that it must be obvious that partiality affected the arbitrator's decision.Ā To establish evident partiality, the objecting party need only show that the arbitrator was inclined to favor one side, not that the arbitrator actually acted upon that inclination, such that the arbitrator's decision was affected to the detriment of the other party.Ā Other provisions in ORS 36.705 confirm that understanding.Ā ORS 36.705(1)(b)(C) provides for mandatory vacatur if there was "[m]isconduct by an arbitrator prejudicing the rights of a party to the arbitration proceeding[.]"Ā (Emphasis added.)Ā Similarly, ORS 36.705(1)(c) and (f) provide for mandatory vacatur where other specified circumstances result in substantial prejudice to a party.(2)Ā Those provisions demonstrate that, where the legislature intended to require vacatur only if the rights of a party were prejudiced, it knew how to say so expressly.Ā The absence of a prejudice requirement in ORS 36.705(1)(b)(A) thus indicates that "evident partiality" results in mandatory vacatur regardless of whether it affected the arbitrator's decision.
However, the common meaning of "evident" and the statutory context also forecloses defendant's understanding that "evident partiality" includes the mere appearance of partiality--that is, the appearance of an inclination to favor one side, even if such an inclination does not actually exist.ĀĀ Instead, something that is discernable, obvious, manifest, and palpable must actually exist.Ā "Evident partiality" implies "the existence of signs and indications that must lead to an identification or inference" of partiality.(3)
In asserting that evident partiality requires only the appearance of partiality, defendant relies on ORS 36.650(1), which provides that an arbitrator must disclose
"any known facts that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect the impartiality of the arbitrator in the arbitration proceeding, including:
"(a) A financial or personal interest in the outcome of the arbitration proceeding; and
"(b) An existing or past relationship with any of the parties to the agreement to arbitrate or the arbitration proceeding, their counsel or representative, a witness or another arbitrator in the proceeding."
Defendant correctly asserts that an arbitrator must disclose not only facts that actually affect his or her impartiality, but also those that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect the arbitrator's impartiality--that is, facts that give rise to the appearance of partiality.Ā Defendant also correctly asserts that ORS 36.650(3) provides that, when an objection based on the existence of such disclosed facts is overruled, the objection may be a ground for vacating the award.(4)Ā Based on those assertions, defendant contends that ORS 36.650 provides "dispositive" context in interpreting ORS 36.705(1)(b).
ORS 36.650 certainly does provide context, but it does not lead to the conclusion that "evident partiality" includes the mere appearance of partiality.ĀĀ Defendant overlooks a significant distinction between ORS 36.650(3) and ORS 36.705(1).Ā ORS 36.650(3) provides that disclosed facts creating the appearance of partiality "may" be a ground to vacate the arbitrator's award, whereas ORS 36.705(1) provides that, if there was evident partiality, the court "shall" vacate the award.(5)Ā If the mere appearance of partiality constituted evident partiality, and thus were sufficient to trigger mandatory vacatur under ORS 36.705(1)(b), there would never be any occasion for discretionary vacatur under ORS 36.650(3), rendering that provision meaningless surplusage.Ā We presume that the legislature did not intend for any of its enactments to be meaningless.Ā See ORS 174.010 (courts shall construe statutes, if possible, to give meaning to all provisions).
Even when an arbitrator does not disclose a relationship with a party or a party's counsel, the relationship does not necessarily give rise to evident partiality.Ā ORS 36.650(4) provides that, "[i]f the arbitrator did not disclose a fact as required by subsection (1) or (2) of this section, upon timely objection by a party, the court under ORS 36.705(1)(b) may vacate an award."Ā (Emphasis added.)Ā Although the failure to disclose a required fact could give rise to an inference of evident partiality, unless the fact finder actually draws that inference (and thus makes a finding of evident partiality), the failure to disclose gives rise only to discretionary, not mandatory, vacatur.Ā
Even the failure to disclose a "known, direct and material interest in the outcome of the arbitration proceeding or a known, existing and substantial relationship with a party, the party's counsel or representatives, a witness or another arbitrator in the proceeding" gives rise only to a rebuttable presumption that the arbitrator acted with evident partiality.Ā ORS 36.650(5); Unif Arbitration Act (2000) ¦ 12 comment 4, 7 ULA 46 (2009) (when the presumption in ORS 36.650(5) arises, the burden shifts to the party defending the award to rebut the presumption).Ā It does not conclusively establish evident partiality.Ā If such undisclosed facts do not conclusively establish evident partiality, it cannot be that any fact that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect impartiality, whether disclosed or not, conclusively establishes evident partiality, as defendant argues.
Thus, establishing evident partiality does not require a showing that the arbitrator's decision was actually affected by partiality, as plaintiff argues.Ā Nor is it established by showing only an appearance of partiality, as defendant argues.Ā Instead, it requires that the arbitrator manifested an actual, discernable inclination to favor one side, whether or not the award was affected by that inclination.
Whether an arbitrator manifested an actual, discernable inclination to favor one side is a question of historical fact.Ā The trial court in this case stated, "[O]n the record that's before me, I don't see anything that would lend itself to an objective finding of evident partiality on behalf of Mr. Batchelor."Ā "[U]nless the evidence in a case is such that the trial court as finder of fact could decide a particular factual question in only one way," we are bound by a trial court's factual findings, including a "'finding' that a party's evidence is not sufficiently persuasive."Ā State v. Johnson, 335 Or 511, 523, 73 P3d 282 (2003).Ā The facts of this case are not such that the trial court was compelled to find evident partiality.Ā Accordingly, we are bound by the court's finding that defendant's evidence was not sufficiently persuasive to establish evident partiality.(6)Ā It follows that the court was not required by ORS 36.705(1) to vacate the arbitration award.
Defendant did not argue to the trial court--or on appeal--that, under ORS 36.650(3), the court had discretion to vacate the award on less than a showing of evident partiality.Ā In all events, defendant waived the right to seek discretionary vacatur.Ā As noted above, ASP's Rule 12 (by which defendant agreed to be bound) provided that ASP's decision as to whether the arbitrator should be disqualified was conclusive on the parties.Ā ORS 36.610(3) provides that a party may not waive the requirements of ORS 36.705 (providing for mandatory vacatur), but it does not preclude waiver of the requirements of ORS 36.650(3).Ā Thus, although the parties could not waive the right to seek mandatory vacatur based on evident partiality, they could--and did--waive the right to seek discretionary vacatur based on the appearance of partiality.Ā Accordingly, we do not consider whether the court abused its discretion under ORS 36.650(3) in denying defendant's petition to vacate the award.
Because the trial court denied defendant's petition to vacate the arbitration award on a proper ground, we affirm the court's judgment.
1. Although Rule 12 provides that ASP's decision is conclusive on the parties, ORS 36.610(3) provides that a party to an arbitration agreement may not waive the requirements of, among other provisions, ORS 36.705.Ā Thus, Rule 12 did not preclude defendant from filing a petition to vacate the award based on evident partiality.

2. ORS 36.705(1)(c) provides that the court shall vacate the award if the arbitrator refused to postpone the hearing where sufficient cause was shown, refused to consider material evidence, or otherwise conducted the hearing contrary to prescribed procedures "so as to prejudice substantially the rights of a party to the arbitration proceeding."Ā
ORS 36.705(1)(f) requires vacatur if "[t]he arbitration was conducted without proper notice of the initiation of an arbitration as required in ORS 36.635 so as to prejudice substantially the rights of a party to the arbitration proceeding."
Return to previous location.
3. We recognize that one of the words used to define "evident" is "apparent," and that one meaning of the latter word is "readily manifest to senses of mind as real or true * * * but possibly distinct from or contrary to reality or truth."Ā Webster's at 102; see also id. at 103 (synonyms of "apparent" include "seeming, ostensible, [and] illusory" (formatting in original)).Ā However, that is not the sense in which the word is used in the definition of "evident."Ā See id. at 789 (explaining that, as a synonym of "evident," "apparent" varies in meaning by "suggest[ing] a longer period of observation or reasoning").
Return to previous location.
4. ORS 36.650(3) provides:
"If an arbitrator discloses a fact required by subsection (1) or (2) of this section to be disclosed and a party timely objects to the appointment or continued service of the arbitrator based upon the fact disclosed, the objection may be a ground under ORS 36.705(1)(b) for vacting an award made by the arbitrator."
Return to previous location.
5. The commentary to the Uniform Arbitration Act states that ORS 36.650(3) is intended to give courts "wider latitude in deciding whether to vacate an award" than they have under ORS 36.705(1) and that vacatur is "permissive" under ORS 36.650(3) rather than "mandatory," as under ORS 36.705(1).Ā Unif Arbitration Act (2000) ¦ 12 comment 4, 7 ULA 46 (2009).
Return to previous location.
6. We acknowledge that the trial court found that Batchelor had an "actual conflict."Ā However, we understand the court to have meant that he had a conflict of interest in the sense that he had a relationship that he was required to disclose--that is, one that could give rise to the appearance of partiality.Ā As we explained above, such a relationship does not necessarily create evident partiality.Ā Accordingly, the trial court's finding of an actual conflict is not inconsistent with its finding that there was no evident partiality.

Pranatamangsa, the Javanese agricultural calendar—Its bioclimatological and sociocultural function in developing rural life
Pranatamangsa, the traditional Javanese calendar, has not been studied in depth until comparatively recently. The calendar functions as a practical guide for agricultural activities for the rural peasants, and was in use in Java before the arrival of the Hindus. Its use can be traced back to the welfare and prosperity of the old agricultural kingdoms in Central Java, such as Old-Mataram, Pajang and Islam-Mataram. The calendar reflects a significant correlation of cosmographical, bioclimatological and sociological aspects of agricultural activities in rural areas, resulting in a living dialogue between man and his natural environment.
Pranatamangsa, which means the arrangement of seasons, is very suitable for the region around the Merapi-Merbabu mountain complex in Central Java, where the wet and dry seasons are of equal length. A bioclimatological view of each season provides information on such things as the behavioural patterns of plants, animals, man, and information on non-living natural resources, enabling the peasant farmer to forecast likely seasonal deviations. The rural people are very aware of seasonal rhythms, which they believe influence physical health, additional jobs, plant varieties and land-use patterns. With the growth of modern technology in many rural areas, natural rhythms have been severely modified, and consequently jarmers have tended to neglect the value of Pranatamangsa. This paper suggests that a scientific study of the traditional calendar might lead to the derivation of new guidelines for farming activities throughout the year.

Flashing the C6747 EVM
This page will describe:
- Issues with executing current examples from flash.
- Necessary Modifications to the PSP Examples.
- How to properly flash/run the Examples from SPI.
This article assumes that you have;
- Completed the Getting Started Guide for C6747.
- Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 installed on your system. This can be downloaded from the Microsoft Website.
- Looked at the document Using the D800K001 Bootloader.
Executing PSP Examples from Flash
As previously stated in the "Getting Started Guide for C6747", there are PSP examples located in the PSP Installation directory (by default C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\pspdrivers_01_20_00_07). You can find these examples in the \packages\ti\pspiom\examples\evm6747 directory.
If you try to execute the projects from flash without making any modifications, you will notice that the project all of a sudden does not work anymore. These projects are built assuming the GEL file is in place (considering both the examples and GEL are developed by Spectrum). User application code should always configure the required peripherals rather than relying on the GEL file to make them work.
For example, the audio project does not include code for configuring the I/O pin MUX and PSC. The GEL file takes care of all of this for you in CCS. Therefore, the configuration should be included in the application code if you are planning to run your application from the SPI Flash.
Modifying PSP Examples
The Getting Started Guide for C6747 includes a section on "Loading Example Software". These examples are executed while the board is connected to CCS. If the example is flashed to the board "as is" you will notice that the application is no longer valid when executed from flash.
Note: In this article the Audio example will be used for modification. Similar steps, can be followed to modify other examples for proper execution.
1. Open the audioSample.pjt in the C6747 CCS window. From the CCS menu bar select Project->Open and Navigate to the audio project. The default directory of this project is "C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\pspdrivers_01_20_00_07\packages\ti\psp\iom\examples\evm6747\audio\build."
2. Once the project is open, take the time to review the source files and the gel file.
3. Open the audioSample_main.c file. The following sections will need to be added to this file to perform the proper system configurations when booting from flash.

REMARK: these configuration functions may not work well if you are using optimization, causing your program not to boot properly. As a work around, you can use optimization in your project, and you can put just the initialization functions in a separate source file and with optimization "none" just for that file. To do that, right click on the source file and select "File Specific Options..." and select optimization "none". This way all the other files can have the optimization you want, and you can still boot.
5. Once you have made modifications to the main.c file the project must be re-compiled. From the CCS menu bar select "Project->Build". If the build is successful, you can proceed to flash the project according to the Flashing the board section of this document.
Flashing the Board
The D800K001 Bootloader is used for the TMS320C6747. Various boot mechanisms supported by the D800K001 boot loader ROM image are described in the application report "Using the D800K001 Bootloader."
Generating Boot Script (AIS image)
1. Install AISgen, by downloading and executing the latest installer here. It is recommended to install this tool at its default location (C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\AISgen for D800K001).
2. To Start AISgen, navigate to the folder created during the installation process. If you used the defualt location, C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\AISgen for D800K001. Double-click on AISgen.exe. The Application below should appear.
Note: Some controls on the window are initially disabled. For example, when the Configure PLL checkbox is not selected, the controls the PLL Settings box will be disabled. Any display that can't be set directly.
3. The default Configuration can be set by selecting File -> Configure for the EVM. This applies default settings to the PLL and EMIF controls. You have to manually specify the DSP application and output AIS files.
4. Specify a DSP application file (*.out), in the appropriate box by either typing its name in the appropriate box or using the browse button to locate it. By default the location is C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\pspdrivers_01_20_00_07\packages\ti\pspiom\examples\evm6747\audio\bin\Debug\audioSample.out. A valid DSP application can be created by building a project in Code Composer Studio.
5. To specify the AIS file, type C:\file.ais (For example C:\audioSample.ais) in the AIS file text box (left of error indicator) or use the browser button (right of the error indicator) to do so. You will notice that the error indicator vanishes as the text is entered in the AIS file specification box.
The resulting setup should look like the following:
6. Now, clicking on the Generate AIS button will successfully generate AIS (as C:\ais.bin). The size of this file depends on the DSP application.
7. The utility also has other options which can be specified according to your application. These options are described in the "Using the D800K001 Bootloader Document".
Boot Mode and Boot Peripheral Setup
- EEPROM or Flash
PLL Setup
SDRAM Setup
Note: AIS files do not perform all of the configuration steps that a GEL file handles during development. Notably, AIS will not setup the Pin Multiplexing Control Register (PINMUX) and the Power and Sleep Controller Register (PSC) for any peripheral devices your DSP application uses. Be sure to add the necessary configuration steps to your application code before generating the AIS file.
Flashing the AIS Image
The AIS image generated by the AISgen utility will be located in the location specified in the AIS file field. This image is now ready to be flashed to the board with the following steps.
If you have completed the Getting Started guide you will have executed the Windows C674x DSP Installer, C674x_dsp_setupwin32_1_00_00_07.exe.
1. Open CCS3.3 and connect to the C6747.
2. Open the spiflash_writer_dsp.pjt. From the CCS menu bar Select Project -> Open. Navigate to the project. The project will be in the following directory C:\C674x_dsp_1_00_00_07\dsp_spi_flash_writer\ccsv3.3 , if default installation paths were followed.
3. Build the flash utility project with either debug or release configuration. From the CCS menu bar select Project -> Build, or press F7. This will create the spiflash_writer_dsp.out file.
4. Load and Execute spiflash_writer_dsp. From the CCS menu bar Select File -> Load Program, Navigate to the spiflash_writer_dsp.out Once the program is loaded, Select Debug -> Run from the CCS menu bar.
5. You will be prompted to enter the input type of the binary file to be flashed. Type dspais in the box.
SF: Got idcode ef 30 16 SF: Detected W25X32 with page size 256, total 4194304 bytes Flash page size: 256 bytes Flash sector size: 4096 bytes Starting SPIWriter. Enter the image type (one of "dspais" "armubl" "uboot" "other")
6. You will then be prompted to input the path of the user bootloader binary file. Please supply the path of the file to be flashed. Note that the DSP user bootloader to be flashed needs to be in AIS format, therefore, this will be the ais file generated in the previous section (For example C:\audioSample.ais).
7. The flash utility will continue printing out some messages, indicating that it is flashing the bootloader into SPI-flash. Once it runs successfully, the following message will be printed out.
Reading verifying the file.. Files matched
8. Disconnect CCS from the DSP and switch off the board. Set the SW2 switch on the board according to the table below.
|Pin #
9. At power up, the board should boot from SPI flash.
Debugging Tips
Removing initializations from the GEL file
If your program works with CCS but not with the stand alone flash version, you could be missing some initialization made by the GEL file. In order to debug that with CCS, you can comment parts of the GEL file (and save it) before you connect to the board:
If your CCS connects automatically when it opens, you can change that configuration at Option-> Customize..:
After that, close CCS, power cycle the board and open CCS again.
Removing optimization from initializations
Check if you are using optimization in your project. Right click on the project and choose Build Options...:
If you are, you might want to remove the optimization as it can interfere with the initialization functions. If you do not want to remove the optimization from all the files in your project, you can remove it just from the file that has the initializations:
The file that has different options from the rest of the files in the project will show in yellow:

I went to my dentist on jan 8, 2013 at 1.00 for my cavity filling. A dental student named Kristy had started doing my cavity she was taking forever. She had my tooth drilled a hole in it then said she couldn't do it that the hole was too deep. So she asked if I would want to do and extraction or later down the road a root canal or crown.So I said extraction she was taking forever to pull my tooth. When she didn she ripped my maxillary and peforated my sinus.Now I have to see a oral surgeon.Is this malpractice and pain and suffering and injury?She was unsupervised.
In order to answer your question, you would need to seek the advice of a medical malpractice attorney who can obtain your dental records and have them reviewed by an expert. Your injuries and description of the incident sound like you may have a malpractice case, but, again, this needs to be determined by a thorough record review. Feel free to call me to discuss this further.Ask a similar question
I'm sorry to hear about your injury. To find out if there was malpractice, a local med mal lawyer would need to order your records and send them to an expert to review to ascertain whether there was a breach of the standard of care.
Only 29% Contingency Fee! Phone: 215-510-6755 www.InjuryLawyerPhiladelphia.comAsk a similar question
It may very well be an error by the dental student and/or the dentist tasked with overseeing her. Unfortunately, that an error existed is not always enough to pursue a legal claim. A plaintiff must also have sufficient damages such that the cost of pursing litigation doesn't overwhelm a reasonable settlement value of the claim. This happens alot in dental malpractice cases. Dentists, by the very nature of their work, have a hard time creating enough of an injury when they mess up. Maybe this particular dentist caused you to suffer $8,000 in additional dental fees and maybe another $15,000 in pain/suffering. So a reasonable "settlement value" might be $20,000. The problem is that these cases are expensive to litigate; experts must be retained, depositions taken, court reporters paid, filing fees paid, etc., etc. You might very well spend $30,000 litigating the case for that $20,000 settlement. Not economical in the end.Ask a similar question

Does anyone remember the (official) link on AJ that talks about Performance Rights Organizations / Performance Rights Societies?
For anyone who may not know why I am asking – Royalty Free doesn't not mean copyright free, and though the music here is licensed and the user does not pay additional fees to use the song, if it's broadcast on television say, there are fee's that broadcasters pay that composers are eligible to receive when their music is registered with a PRO /PRS.
I can't remember if there is a conflict of interest on AudioJungle or something about it, but I remember something vaguely and wanted to read more. I thought it was in the Wiki, but maybe it was just a thread. Either way, I am just looking for any official AJ docs.
Thanks to anyone who has a link
There is no official link as far as I'm aware (there should be).
But, Scott talks about it briefly regarding TRAX :http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/coming-soon-trax/44206?page=5#412542
His response in his final paragraph of that seems to state quite clearly that non-TRAX = non-PRO-registered. TRAX = PRO -registered.
But I don't know if this is official or not, there definitely should be something in the Wiki about this.
- waves flag *
as far as I know, you are not allowed to upload any song that is registered with any performance rights organisation. So you won't be able to receive any payment on any songs uploaded here except for the percentage of the sale for the royalty free license
aaah yeah, Gareth has found it! I didn't know TRAX uploads could be registered with PRO 's
Ah! Thanks Gareth, that is the one I remember. Thanks as well Liam!
Well, then yes definitely something needs to be added to the Wiki – that is major.
If this is indeed not allowed for RF tracks my next question is – Why not?
The broadcaster is the one who pays the other fee. The only reason I can think of is that AJ's position is that the broadcasters themselves are the ones buying the license…but we know that's not the majority of cases by any means. I mean, by authors offering their music here (and thus cutting the costs for buyers wayyy down for synchronization and master licenses that would be required otherwise) it only seems right to allowed registered music.
This has become a great point of interest to me as I am now running into a lot of my music on TV.
Maybe there is a point I am not seeing so of course will leave with an open mind while I wait to hear from someone with all the official AJ info
I'm also very much interested in this!
I know that some other "royalty free" music websites have the authors CAE # & song's cue sheet information along side the track info incase they plan on using the music in broadcasting. Of course their songs are still "mechanical" royalty free but they're not "performance" royalty free.
Right now AJ states that you are not allowed to upload music that is registered to a PRO . But I wonder how they could possibly police that…?
In fact (not going to drop names) but I'm 99% certain I ran into an author that has uploaded songs that are registered to BMI (same author name and song name is in the BMI index)
I've spoken about this a bit before as well. It seems that even though some royalty-free sites allow the composer to have the song registered with a PRO , AJ does not. I was unaware that TRAX music was allowed to do this though. Good to know!
Hey guys, seems like the question has already been answered – no, PRO registered music is NOT allowed to be sold as royalty-free music on AudioJungle. This has always been mentioned at the very top of our upload instructions page:http://wiki.envato.com/basics/audiojungle-basics/audiojungle-music-upload-instructions/
Tim asked "why not?" The main point from the very beginning was that we wanted AudioJungle customers to be absolutely sure that what they purchased was completely royalty-free and, if they purchase the correct license here, they have the secure guarantee that they will never have to pay anything again having paid for a license to use the music on AudioJungle. Some royalty-free libraries do this, some do not. We chose to.
With more and more AudioJungle music appearing on TV, radio and film however we do appreciate that we could improve our licensing to better accommodate these type of uses. This is something we have been discussing behind the scenes for quite a while but with most licensing issues on the marketplaces, changes occur slowly because they have to be managed extremely carefully and scrutinized very carefully by our legal team. So although I cannot guarantee if or when our licenses will be improved, I do personally hope that this is an area of licensing that AudioJungle will improve upon in the future for the benefit of both customers and authors.
That would be INCREDIBLE scott! I definitely hope that we move in that direction. Every time I sell an extended license I think about this. It would be great to get some royalties on top of initial sales, and I know that clients purchasing music for use in TV and film are paying PRO 's anyway, so it would be no skin off their backs.
I look forward to the prospect of this (possible) change!
I agree that it makes total sense to allow music registered to a PRO on AJ. Surely more wonderful composers would join AJ if it weren't for this very issue. It's a pretty big one.

Palawan in the Philippines offers nature trips through seemingly uncharted territories amid the buzzing city of Puerto Princesa. In fact, one of the inviting travel destinations in Palawan, which is Honda Bay, is located close to this city at only 12 kilometers away. The area consists of several islets or little islands. Although you won't be able to visit every single island within a day's tour, you can experience what Honda Bay has to offer through popular islets and areas.
If you're availing tours via tour packages, don't expect to have a full breakfast meal because most touring company guides will wake you up early in the morning for a similarly early start. The most practical meal you can eat before the day starts is coffee and some bread through your accommodating hotel or inn. Most of these are based on the islets of Meara Marina and Starfish.
Pambato or Tubbataha reef is your first stop. It is accessible via boats for rent scattered all over the islands. When you're there, you can snorkel, swim, or simply take pictures the entire morning. If you don't have your own gear, you can always rent snorkeling equipment from various stalls within the shore including waterproof cameras. Unfortunately, these cameras are only useful within a limited depth.
Your lunch is often served in the next destination, Snake Island. If you're goal is to swim and sway with the waves, this is the island for you, particularly when it's high tide.
Dinner can be served at the last stop, Pandan Island or, if not, it's back to your accommodating hotel. But before a tiring day's meal, you can walk throughout the island's white sand beach shore line and enjoy services offered by local residents including food, refreshments, massage, henna tattoo, and so much more.
The night is still young even after dinner so you can still hunt for pasalubongs or souvenirs in the local Philippine tongue.

|Nitin Sharma of Chapel Hill, who successfully revived five cardiac arrest victims during the clinical rotation phase of his studies in Western's emergency medical care program, practices on a high-tech computerized mannequin.
CULLOWHEE Five seniors in Western Carolina University's emergency medical care program recently received outstanding clinical performance awards for their participation in a clinical rotation in which they saved the lives of several victims of cardiac arrest.
One of the students, Nitin Sharma from Chapel Hill, resuscitated five patients, said Michael Hubble, director of Western's emergency medical care program.
To receive the award, a student must resuscitate a patient who is without a pulse and respirations in other words, clinically dead and restore those vital signs prior to arriving at the hospital, said Hubble. Although we do have such success stories each year, I cannot recall when we've had a student save the lives of five patients in one year.
The clinical rotations, which are part of the certification process for Western's emergency medical care students, are held at paramedic units in Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Henderson, Iredell and Jackson counties.
In addition to Sharma, Western students who received awards for successfully resuscitating patients are, from North Carolina, Travis Drake of Burlington, Robert Jones of Shelby and Brian Kurtz of Fairview; and, from out of state, Jackson Deziel from Manchester, N.H.
Prior to going into the field to work on real patients as part of their clinical rotations, the WCU students have been training on campus using a state-of-the-art computerized mannequin called a SimMan, or simulated man. Western is one of only two emergency medical care training programs in the state using the $30,000 apparatus in preparing paramedic students to meet the challenges of real-world medical emergencies. The lifelike mannequin is controlled by an instructor at a nearby computer, who can test the students with a variety of patient care scenarios.
They are as realistic as we can get without actually working on a live human being, which is important in terms of providing training for the many situations our graduates will face in the field as paramedics. These mannequins really force them to be problem-solvers, to think on their feet and to evaluate the situation. I think our seniors' performance in their clinical rotations attests to the value of this type of training.
Western Carolina was the first U.S. institution to offer a four-year degree in emergency medical care, and is today one of only 14 in the nation offering the degree. Western's program is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Education Programs for the EMS Professions.

OnMedia: Defending Great Uncle Al Capone
Deirdre Marie Capone isn't a TV critic, but she has some strong views on Stephen Graham's take on her great uncle, Al Capone, in HBO's "Boardwalk Empire."
"I have watched it," she tells me in a phone interview from her Florida home. "I think that Stephen Graham job does a great job. I don't like the character that he is playing at all."
"They had him cooking with his mother, the other night, in New Jersey. That never happened. They have him kidnapping people in New Jersey, which never happened.
"It's one more thing where they take his name and they create a character that is not really him," she says. "There's nothing I can do about it."
Well, there is something she can do, and Capone, the granddaughter of Al's older brother, Ralph, is telling her family's story in the new book "Uncle Al Capone."
It's a family story, including her memories of her great uncle (he died when she was 7). "I had my grandfather until I was 45, and I had Al's younger sister until I was 54, and I was very very close to them."
Her goal is to tell the story of a different Al Capone.
"He would get down on the floor like a big teddy bear," she recalls. "He loved children."
It even includes recipes for some of her great uncle's Italian favorites.
She's not trying to say that Capone was just misunderstood. But she's still defensive about his line of work, saying there were few opportunities for Italian immigrants when he arrived in the U.S.
"There was no opportunity to be a doctor or a lawyer or a businessman," she says. "He could make money for his family.
"At one point, he ran over 350 speakeasies in the city of Chicago and he didn't have a fax machine and a cellphone... The only thing they could get him on is tax evasion, everything else is alleged."
The self-published book came out about a week ago, and is available from on-line bookshops, like Amazon.
"I went round and round and round with publishers," she said, comparing that industry to the recording industry of a few years ago, out of touch with technological change.
That's why she went the self-publishing route, she tells me, although she's open to signing a publishing deal now that the book is out.
The 70-year-old Deirdre, by the way, is publishing the book under the name she was born with. "That is the name on my baptismal certificate," she says. But she's not revealing her married name, trying to hold on to a little anonymity for a while.
"It's going to be very hard for me to keep it private," she says. "It's going to come out."
But it's worth it, she says, since she had to tell this story.
"If I don't, who's going to?" she asks.
Let's close with a brief sample of Stephen Graham's take on Capone, from "Boardwalk Empire":

What are her thoughts on "The Untouchables". That story is much more Capone-centric and in one scene he beats a guy over the head with a baseball bat.

The artistic community is adopting the methods of their oppressors:
Belgian artists warn that a victory of the "islamophobic" Vlaams Belang [Flemish Interest] party in the local elections on October 8th may lead to violence. In an interview in the Dutch-language weekly Knack Magazine this week painter Luc Tuymans says: "In the worst case you will get organised resistance, perhaps even rather violent reactions. I suspect many shop keepers will have their windows smashed. People do not seem to be aware, but a vote for the Vlaams Belang may have serious consequences. They should realize this before they take a final decision in the voting booth."
It's the latest evidence of an international artist-Islamite conspiracy sworn to destroy us all. Meanwhile, they're youthing it up in Brussels:
Last night Brussels police arrested 39 youths, including 15 minors, in the Marollen neigbourhood. The area had seen heavy rioting the previous nights. Some of the arrested immigrants were carrying combustibles. One shack was set alight and one car was torched. The police said there were no serious incidents. Yesterday afternoon Freddy Thielemans, the Mayor of Brussels, told journalists at a press conference that of the 45 youths arrested the previous night 31 were known to the police for a total of 242 crimes. The Mayor emphasized that the riots were the work of youth gangs and cannot be compared to last year's riots in France since there had been no direct confrontations between the police and the rioters.

Hi, Welcome to Just Answer!
As long as your fluid level is full (with engine running in park on level ground) and it is redish pink, you probably just need to have your shift solenoid pack replaced. If the fluid is burnt, dark in color, you are looking at a rebuild/replacement.
If you need further assistance let me know.

A former financial advisor to Michael Jackson said Friday that he was the person who recently turned over to executors $5.5 million, which had been "a secret between Michael and me."
Dr. Tohme Tohme responded to an inquiry from The Associated Press about documents in which administrators of the estate said they had recovered $5.5 million and substantial amounts of personal property from an unnamed former financial adviser.
"It was not recovered," he said. "I had the money and I gave it to them. It was a secret between Michael and me."
He said the money, which came from recording residuals, was earmarked by Jackson for the purchase of what was to be his "dream home" in Las Vegas. He said he was in negotiations for the home when Jackson died.
"He said, 'Don't tell anyone about this money,'" Tohme recalled. "But when he passed away I told them I had this money, and I gave it to them."

America's best loved candle™
... at the heart of every season
Moments in time ... personal recollections of an instant brought to life. They're at the heart of every season. And nobody helps people relive those moments like Yankee Candle.
As the world's most renowned brand of scented candles, we've developed a uniquely personal relationship with our consumers because we pour our hearts into every candle we make. We share their passion for fragrance by perfectly capturing the spirit of each season and the memories that go with it, from spring flowers to Christmas traditions. It's a commitment that they can count on us to make their day a little brighter and more enjoyable with their favorite fragrances ... every time.
It's also a commitment to craftsmanship and quality we've observed from the company's early days of making candles by hand in an old mill. Today, our master candlemakers still observe those same rigid standards as they produce more than one million jar candles per week at our company headquarters in western Massachusetts.
American-made with the finest ingredients from around the world, like natural fragrance extracts, our candles are carefully crafted and thoroughly tested to be the best because you expect nothing less ... and neither do we.
Never satisfied, we're continually developing new fragrances that reflect the best experiences of life, from a kitchen treat to a tropical getaway. Plus, we're launching innovative ways to enjoy those fragrances in both candles and flameless fragrancing products for every occasion.
It's all about creating a warm, inviting home for every season, wherever you are. And it begins with Yankee Candle® fragrances that bring the season to life. Stop and smell, because the best holiday memories have a scent all their own.

Haiti is the poorest country and has the highest rate of HIV in the western hemisphere. As the most vulnerable members of society, children have born the brunt of the socioeconomic decline and epidemic of HIV in Haiti.
5,000 babies are born infected each year.
17,000 children are infected with HIV. An estimated 90% of these children will die within their first year of life. Surviving children experience many more illnesses and developmental difficulties than HIV negative children.
In Cap-Haitien, the second largest city, infected children have the relative good fortune of access to health care and anti-retroviral treatment but they still face many challenges. Poverty, food scarcity, and their own inevitable orphaning by one or both parents paint a grim picture for these childrens future.
Aid Haiti is currently helping to send HIV-infected children to school where they not only receive an education, but also the assurance of at least one nutritious meal a day as well as a brief escape from the desperation that often awaits them at home.
Please support these children by donating to Aid Haiti, purchasing a photo book of Haitian children and raising awareness of these forgotten children in this devastated country.

While schooling is just a small step towards assuring these children the possibility of a full life, it is an important step towards putting a smile back on their faces.

ADB Cuts Developing Asia Growth Forecasts

Growth in developing Asia will slow to 6.0% in 2013 from 6.1% last year before picking up slightly to 6.2% in 2014, the ADB said Wednesday. Just six months ago it saw the region growing 6.6% this year and 6.7% next.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
If there is a possibility that your dog ate a mouse that ingested D-con, you need to get your pup to an emergency clinic as soon as possible.
Just like in mice, the rodenticide is an anticoagulant that 'messes' with the clotting factors of your dog's blood system. This can cause your dog to literally bleed to death.
There is treatment, but it needs to happen soon after ingestion, so please, find an emergency clinic in your area and get your pup there.
Good luck!!
With all respect to the previous expert's answer, I have some additional light to shed on the topic. The active ingredient in D-con, and other rodenticides is a chemical (brodifacoum or other similar chemicals) that interferes with blood clotting. However, the way that it interferes is by blocking the liver's ability to make a specific chemical that aids the blood in clotting. We are getting small injuries to our blood vessels all the time, but our body makes clots that stop the bleeding almost immediately. The way the body does this is first by using a cell called a platelet to essentially plug up the hole in the vessel, and then uses proteins called clotting factors to help seal it in. These are the chemicals that rat poison prevents the body from making. When these chemicals are not present, abnormal bleeding develops. This can show up as bruising under the skin, bleeding into the chest or abdomen, or any other number of presentations.
The good news is in the form of 2 bits of information:
First, the toxic effect of rat poison is dose-related, and the amount that it takes to kill a mouse is significantly less than what it takes to affect a dog. In most cases, the amount of rat poison ingested by a dog that eats a poisoned mouse is small enough that it will not cause any symptoms.
Second, even if a pet ingests rat poison directly, there are enough clotting factors in the bloodstream to last most dogs 3-5 days before they start showing any symptoms.
Now, if your pet were to directly ingest a large or unknown amount of rat poison directly, there is benefit from getting to a veterinarian if it is within an hour or two of the ingestion, so that they can induce vomiting and try to get some of the poisonout before it is absorbed by the system.
The good news is that the odds of your pet having ingested enough rat poison to cause serious problems by eating a mouse are extremely low.
As a precaution, I would still follow up with your regular veterinarian. If you want to be extremely cautious and proactive, your veterinarian will prescribe Vitamin K in an oral form, which is the antidote for rat poisoning. This is a prescription medication, so it would have to be prescribed by your vet.
You can also contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Hotline if there is ever a question about a toxic exposure. They have information about toxic doses of different chemicals and products. There is a fee for the service, and you must have a credit card when you call, but the peace of mind is well worth it.
You can get more information at: www.aspca.org

text: Dear all, Is there a way to tell maui not to allocate certain "type" of nodes unless and until it has been asked for? For example, I have four nodes node1 np=4 slow node2 np=4 slow node3 np=4 fast node4 np=4 fast Here, I would like to have maui allocate only the "slow" nodes by default. If the slow nodes are not available and a new job with a simple request "-l nodes=1" comes up, it should be queued rather than having a fast node allocated for it. However, of course if the "fast" job is explicitly asked for, then it can be scheduled. That is "-l nodes=1:fast" should be accepted and allocated one of the free fast nodes. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Suraj

He has been with me sense I was 14 years old I'm 27 now and he had my back more then once he is an amazing person and I would recommend him anytime anywhere you will not regret your pick.....
Posted by Juanita
My son, who was a juvenile at the time, had an altercation with a neighbor who was almost three times his age. My son was charged with three different things because the neighbor did not tell the whole truth. Of course, the detective at the time, heard one side of the story from this neighbor and wouldn't even listen to me or my son's father. We even went down to the police station the next day to talk to this detective again and he bascially "blew us off." Needless to say, it was time to find a good lawyer because this neighbor has been a nuisance to others in the neighborhood too. This was the last straw for us!! I looked in the phone book and saw Atty. Damon Hopkins advertisement in the yellow pages. His ad said something in order of if you have a loved one who is in trouble with the law and unjustly accused...this was the lawyer I wanted for my son. I felt like, at the time, reading his advertisement was a sign from God to pick this attoney. My gut instinct was right on. Atty. Hopkins is brilliant! He treated my son like his own. He was respectful to me and my family. Luckily, we have never needed another lawyer since that time, but I would use him again, if needed. He was able to prove that the neighbor had lied about a couple of things and the two worse charges were dropped. My son received a misdomeanor of "disorderly conduct." A small fine was paid and the case was closed. This attorney was our hero!! I would recommend Atty. Damon Hopkins to anybody.
Posted by Stephanie
Damon was my attorney for my divorce. He made my experience as easy as possible and was great at getting back to me in a timely manner and staying on top of everything that was going on. He did an excellent job at getting me what I needed and helping me to understand all the legel jargon that was involved in the process. I felt that I could trust Damon at all times to keep my best interests in mind. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Divorce is a difficult process to go through, but Damon made the process go as smoothly as possible. I feel that he took excellent care of me at a very difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend Damon to anyone!! He is very knowledgable and on top of everything, he is genuine and trustworthy.
Posted by anonymous
Excellent, Professional and has client's best interest in mind. I would use his services again if needed.
Posted by Lesley
Damon is not only an excellent lawyer; he truly cares about his clients. Damon has represented me in several venues and there is not one bad word I can say about this man: both professionally and personally. I have recommended him to several of my friends and I know they are very happy with his services. A true gentleman.
Posted by Michelle
Damon is the most knowledgable and curtious attorney I have met. He returns his clients in a timely manner, researches the law to aid in winning his client's cases, and is a down to earth and decent man. His is compassionate about his client's situation and cares about people in general. He is not the type of lawyer who places a call to you for two minutes, just to be able to bill you for 15 minutes. I work with a lot of attorneys in my profession, and none of them compare to Damon.

I'm Dave Lane, a born-and-raised St. John's resident who has a passion for this City. I'm excited to work for the residents of St. John's to make this a City we can all live, love, and thrive.
I have worked in web development, marketing, and communications since 1998, and received a joint degree in Computer Science and Business Commerce from Memorial University in 2005. My education, combined with a lifetime involvement in the arts, has enabled me to bring together diverse groups of people to make things happen in business, community, and municipal government settings. In 2013 I was elected to St. John's City Council as a Councillor at Large.
Prior to being elected to Council, I chaired Happy City St. John's, a group of dedicated volunteers focused on public engagement at the municipal level. I continue this engagement work as chair of the City's "Engage!" task force, a City-led group of citizen representatives that developed the new St. John's public engagement framework.
In my work as a councillor I am: co-chair of the Economic Development, Tourism and Public Engagement Standing Committee; co-chair of the Heritage Advisory Committee; chair of the Environmental Advisory Committee; and council representative for Roadmap 2021 (the City's economic strategy committee), Downtown St. John's, Clean St. John's, the St. John's Food Policy Council, and the Railway Coastal Museum.
I'm a musician and was a drummer for rock bands Hey Rosetta! and Pilot to Bombardier. I have spent many years singing with successful choral groups such as Quintessential Vocal Ensemble (QVE), Newman Sound Men's Choir, and Innismara Vocal Ensemble.
Below is a description of me written during the 2013 election campaign to give a better sense of who I am:
I am committed to building a St. John's that is developed thoughtfully. As founding chair of Happy City St. John's, I have been bringing public input to City Hall. I sit on boards and committees with Downtown St. John's, Newfoundland Historic Trust, St. John's Clean & Beautiful, and St. John's Board of Trade.
I am involved in the local arts community, and have been a member of Newman Sound Men's Choir, Quintessential Vocal Ensemble, and Innismara Vocal Ensemble. I have also played drums for several years, including a stint as the drummer for well-known St. John's band Hey Rosetta!
I've had the opportunity to participate in standing committees at City Hall, including the Police and Traffic Committee, Heritage Advisory Committee, and the St. John's Municipal Plan Review Advisory Group.
Along with frequent attendance of council meetings, this has kept me up-to-date on what's happening in St. John's and how decisions are made at the municipal level. Happy City has connected me with local citizens and global organizations that explore how to make a city better.
I love St. John's and have dedicated a great deal of my time and energy to helping make this the city of our dreams. I know what we can accomplish when we work together, and I know how to get it done. Our city has incredible potential and we have a real opportunity - right now - to make lasting, positive decisions for our future success.

Apple Butterscotch Tart
Delicious and so easy, my family really loved this tart and I'm making it again to take to a friends house for dessert. Absolutely a Keeper!!
Apple Butterscotch Tart
My family loves anything made with apples and I will definitely make this again.
WORTH the PEELING!!!
Made this for a co-worker's birthday and brought along whipped cream since we can't accomodate ice cream...anyone who loves Dutch apple pie should just LOVE this! I used a regular springform pan and trimmed with a pie cutter, so no worries if you don't have the tart pan.
A Bit Disappointing
This had nice flavor but I probably won't make it again. The apples were dry.
Hubby just loves apple pie, tarts, etc., & he loved this one! 5-Stars!

Date of Defense 2012-04-23 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis dissertation aims to establish the importance of Charles II in the shaping and evolution of Restoration theatre. Even more so than the playwrights themselves, Charles II determined the future of the theatre, both by his conscious efforts to do so, as well as unintentionally through his own behavior and image. The tradition of Restoration theatre began in 1660 with Charles's efforts at establishing a consensus theatre, in which it would appear that he enjoyed unanimous support for his return to England from exile. Consensus theatre was determined by the perception of Charles's rule and character, his power to manipulate the new theatre companies and which playwrights wrote and what they wrote, and his person, or popular image. This attempt at consensus began to fail within a few years of Charles's coming, although his image continued to dominate the theatre, even if only through sometimes negative reactions to his personal image. This influence on theatre continued until his death in 1685. Files

Im wondering if i will be able to buy from my US account with my Visacard without any problem, my main account or Master account is European and im buying from my creditcard there. Ive managed to make a US profile where i can get demos and stuff but im wondering if i can use the same creditcard from my European without problems for the US account?
Im concerned if i can even add funds to it since i 1 year ago bought a US 20$ prepaid psn card and ive never been able to add them to my US account as it keeps saying "cant add funds to wallet". i just took a adress for a walmart in the US btw when i created the accoutn im wondering if thats whats causing the problem?
im really fed up games like SotN and Alundra cant be boughbt in the EU store and they will prob never be on it during ps3s lifetime since they were some of the first on the US store if im not wrong, but Odin Sphere on ps2 classics will probably have the samed fate aswell and i really want these 3 games

US/EU PSN Visa card problems & precautions?

no the card i have is a US 20$ card, i bought it at a danish retailer he said the cards where coming from New york but i cant use it for some reason, he said maybe it could help of i changed my nationality to Canadian on a mail but i never tried that tbh, kinda given up on that card.
Im more curious about is it possible to use the same visa card for your both a EU and US psn without problems, and will the random Walmart adress on my US PSN account creat any trouble for me ?

I have checked online and have seen this site here mentioned a few times http://www.cheapxboxlivecodes.com/. I think you need a pay pal account, but use at your own risk. Or my guess is try Ebay. Just be sure you are buying a US PSN card and not a UK one.
