Monday in Playas
Osvaldo and Esperanza, the people we stayed with in Cuenca, had offered us mangoes from their place here in Playas. So this morning we set out to walk to their place (about 2 km along the road) and with only one wrong stop, found it. Carlos, the gate keeper, had been called by Osvaldo and was expecting us to show up sometime. So he let us in and he and his wife and son picked more mangoes for us than we could possibly eat in the time we have here. We walked back along the beach and the beach was pretty empty. The weekend crowds were gone...
We met with Nancy and Michaelangelo, friends of Roger's who do tours. They are going to take us out in a boat to see dolphins and go birdwatching tomorrow morning. They are very nice people and we had an interesting visit with them.
It has poured rain off and on today, even though it usually just rains at night here. When the sun came out after lunch, it was so hot and humid we came home for a siesta - which I think are just designed to get you out of the sun at the hottest part of the day.
While we were walking the beach after lunch, we saw a fisherman with his catch and his bargaining with a customer who wanted to buy some. We also watched a fishing boat being rolled up out of the water on big rollers. This is what they do when the day's fishing is done, get it up out of the water and above the high tide line. What a tough job, they are heavy wooden boats and it takes about 5 guys to get it out of the water.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
I never had a heart rate of 33 during the day, this showed up during the holter monitor while a sleep, i had two 24 hours holter. And one showed a lowest heart rate of 33 and the other one 34.
During the normal ecg i have a QRS duration between 104 and 114 highest measured. So sometimes i have a incomplete right bundle branch block. I'm 22 years old by the way.
Could you explain why it changes so much? Sometimes its 70 i feel warm and fine and then 3 minutes later its 50 when lying on the couch and i have it very cold then.?
My cardiologist is planning to place a implantable loop recorder. But this takes 4 to 6 weeks waiting time. And i really really have the feeling my body doesn't take this for longer. I also noticed that first thing in the morning my heart rate is very sensible for emotions and during the day this gets away.
how can i check my magnesium level?
Its 4:30 at night now. I dont think i need to ER for this dont I?
I have a heart rate monitor at home a polar is it wise to use this in the mean while during sleep?
okido :) i will leave it in the closet then :)
I'm trying everything to feel better! only doesnt work :(
You can always go to the ER, it sounds like a lot of anxiety and panic, and they can help you with this.
If you have any physical symptoms, as i said above, then you should go anyway.
Use reply to let me know if you have further questions. Please do not forget a positive rating.
Ok, so there is nothing to worry about for cardiac arrest of sudden cardiac arrest?
Fine to hear.
Now i will go te sleep with a rested heart.
Thanks again.

The deal, signed in Singapore on Thursday night, groups 19 commercial banks from Australia, Japan, Korea, China, Europe and Singapore, and a number of major export credit agencies, to provide the $US7.2 billion ($7.9 billion) financing to support the 55 million tonne project, which aims to ship its first ore in 2015.
"The project has strong partners with international experience in finance, engineering, construction, marketing and logistics, which has assisted in the attraction of support from the international finance community," Mrs Rinehart said in a statement.
Her company, Hancock Prospecting, owns 70 per cent of the project, with the remaining 30 per cent owned by South Korean steel giant Posco, Japanese steelmaker Marubeni Corporation and Taiwan's China Steel Corporation. Marubeni holds a 15 per cent equity interest in Roy Hill.
The partners have already pumped more than $3 billion into the project.
With a capacity of 55 million tonnes per year, Roy Hill would become Australia's fourth-largest iron ore producer and help cement the Pilbara as the world's most important iron ore centre.
The path to securing the funding package has been a long one and Mrs Rinehart's team has had to secure agreements against a backdrop of falling iron ore prices.
Iron ore spot prices in China have fallen by about 15 per cent since the start of the year, and there are concerns about oversupply in the global market.
The massive project took a significant step forward in December when US and South Korean export credit agencies promised close to $US3 billion in funding. That was buoyed last month when Marubeni's chief financial officer Yukihiko Matsumura also said he saw the deal's completion happening shortly.
In a stark illustration of the rapid progress under way at Roy Hill, more than a dozen workplace agreements for contractors working on the project were lodged with the Fair Work Commission in early February.
Many of them were handled by the Australian Workers Union, and Stephen Price from the union's WA branch said in late January that about 120 separate agreements for companies working on Roy Hill had been completed since late 2012.
''It's an excellent example of how you can work with companies to get the project up,'' Mr Price then said.
Roy Hill Holdings is staying by its export schedule, having said earlier this year that certain aspects of the company's key engineering and construction contract with Samsung C&T had been altered, including a 46-day extension to the length of the agreement.
The lucrative contract with Samsung was originally set to finish on November 15, but the recent changes mean the "practical completion" of the contract would now occur on December 30.
Many rival iron ore producers have long expected Roy Hill will struggle to meet its ambitious target of producing ore in September, but Roy Hill spokesman Darryl Hockey said in January that the contract changes were not a sign that the project was starting to lag behind its schedule.
"The contractual change in the construction period is administrative and not related to an on-ground change in project schedule," he said two months ago. "The Roy Hill project is moving along well and is on track for its first ore exports in September 2015."
Hancock Prospecting is a large shareholder in Fairfax Media, the publisher of The Australian Financial Review.

Whilst most other take this time looking forward towards the promises of next year, I like to look back, remind myself of the highs and lows of yesteryear.
Got some good games out of it. GTAIV and Gears of War 2 were masterpieces. Then again there were dissapointments such as Fallout 3 which really wasn't worth it. The library that I work at took my advice and started buying and lending videogames. It has lead to resounding succsess and we are currently moving shit around to make more room for it and give it some actual shelving space. The videogame club really picked up and we actually have equipment and a solid group going. Made friends with some of the freshman, which is kinda sad since there'll just be more goodbyes in the spring. Got my senior thesis almost wrapped up (plan on finishing it tonight). Spring semester will be a desperate attempt of having it getting published. Probs not.
And there were bad bits. My academic advisor, who is also the lead on my thesis, told the only girl I've loved that I loved her, which lead to a drastic spiral of failure and misery, the origins of which I did not know. Good news is that my thesis will be aced for sure, whether or not I actually turned it in, for his inevitable firing over numerous ethics violations he brought on himself. After that fell into an awkward love triangle amongst friends which ended by me being the bigger man and bowing out. Fell into another one which ended badly by backstabbing by the other party involved.
Did nothing to secure a job after college, which I'm convinced is impossible even if I did try. Banking everything on the success of my accounted roomate, because unlike fools who become English majors, he'll actually have a career. Met Lauren, and although we're friends things are looking hopeful. She's going to come back to campus early and bunk up with me, under the radar. We'll see how that works out.
Overall, I'd say 2008 was a 6.8 out of 10. What about the rest of you?

Peacock allows one hit for Syracuse
Nationals right-hander goes seven in seventh Triple-A start
By David Schoenholtz / Special to MLB.com | August 18, 2011 10:58 PM ET
Peacock allowed just one hit over seven scoreless innings, but didn't factor into the decision as Triple-A Syracuse lost to Gwinnett, 1-0, on Thursday. He struck out six and walked five, throwing 62 of his 108 pitches for strikes.
"The first three innings I cruised," said Peacock. "I had my curveball and change-up working great. I kept the guys off-balance and located my fastball when I needed it. I walked the pitcher [Todd Redmond] twice, but I battled through it."
Despite not being able to take home a win, the 23-year-old was pleased with the outing. "[Considering the walks,] I'll definitely take it."
"Our guys battled their butts off. Their pitcher was a good one. He had a great slider tonight. You win some and you lose some."
Peacock, who was Washington's 41st-round pick in the 2006 Draft, struck out the side in the fourth, setting down Gartrell, Hicks, and Castillo -- all looking.
The outing was a near-identical effort to his July 27 start against Columbus. In that game, Peacock also gave up one hit in seven scoreless frames. He walked four, struck out seven and earned the win in the 2-0 game.
The Nationals' top pitching prospect has allowed one run while striking out 15 in 12 2/3 innings of work over his last two starts.
Besides the regular Syracuse fans, Peacock had a personal cheering section in the stands for the strong outing -- his parents. "My father follows me everywhere I go, to all of my starts," Peacock explained. "This was one of the good ones he's seen."
A second-inning single by Brandon Hicks was the only base knock Gwinnett mustered against Peacock.
The Braves tallied the only run of the game in the top of the eighth. After Atahualpa Severino (1-2) retired Matt Young and Wilkin Ramirez, he hit Stefan Gartrell with a pitch and walked Hicks. Wilkin Castillo then grounded a single to right field to score Gartrell.
With the season winding down, Peacock has a few simple goals. "I figure I'll get two more starts," he said. "I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and keep the ball down and not walk too many guys.
"If the September callup comes, I'll be ready," he added. "If not, there's probably a reason for it. I'm not worried at all."

Consolidation of 5 Connellsville, Dunbar Township voting locations OK'd
Judge Joseph George Jr. has given the Fayette County Election Bureau the nod to consolidate five of eight voting locations. He will hand down a written decision on three others because opposition was voiced at a hearing on Monday.
The purpose of the hearing was to present to the county eight petitions from the Election Bureau for consolidating polling locations because of low voter turnout and to have sites that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations, said Sheryl Heid, solicitor for the Election Bureau.
Heid said the districts planned for consolidation were grouped to add up to 1,500 registered voters, since an average voter turnout comes to about 500.
Those districts George allowed for consolidation for the May 20 primary election include:
• In Connellsville, consolidating District One at Calvary Assembly of God (456 registered voters) and District Five at Otterbein United Methodist Church (948 registered voters) into Calvary Assembly of God, with a total of 1,404 registered voters.
Heid said both locations had a total average voter turnout in the past few elections of 360.
Election Bureau Director Larry Blosser said the voting location at Otterbein is not ADA compliant.
• In Connellsville, consolidating District Two at East Side Fire Station (418 registered voters) and District Three at Zachariah Connell Elementary School (834 registered voters) into East Side Fire Station, with a total of 1,252 registered voters.
Heid said both locations had an average voter turnout of 504.
Along with low turnout, Heid said the reason for that consolidation was because of the closing of the school.
• In Dunbar Township, consolidating District One at Dunbar Township Elementary School (784 registered voters) and District Four at the Joseph A. Hardy Connellsville Airport (781 registered voters), into the airport with a total of 1,565.
Heid said both locations had an average voter turnout of 504.
• In Dunbar Township, consolidating District Two at the side of Connellsville Alliance Church (505 registered voters) and District Three at the rear of the Connellsville Alliance Church (2,023 registered voters), into the church because Heid said District Two only had an average voter turnout of 129.
Blosser said he didn't receive any written objections concerning the proposed consolidations in Connellsville and Dunbar Township and no objectors attended Monday's hearing.
However, objectors from voting districts in Brownsville, Franklin Township and German Township attended, mainly to say the elderly in those districts don't want to travel too far to vote or the proposed locations are not suitable to handle an increase in voters.
• Brownsville has three districts the election bureau wants to consolidate: District One at Southside Volunteer Fire Department (522 registered voters), District Two at Northside VFD (468 registered voters) and District Three at South Hills Terrace (733 registered voters), into the Southside VFD with a total of 1,725 registered voters.
Heid said the average voter turnout was 494 for all three districts.
Jack Lawver, a Brownsville Borough councilman, said he doesn't have an issue with the consolidation, but doesn't approve Southside VFD being used as the new location, since there are parking issues.
"You can get 50 cars in the parking lot if you're lucky," Lawver said, adding that the Sons of Italy would be better than the fire department to be a polling location.
Heid said the election bureau prefers to use a public location whenever necessary because they want to make sure a privately owned polling location would not be tainted by private interests.
"And the Sons of Italy could change their mind and have us leave," Heid said.
George said he will go over case law, take into consideration the objections on the three petitions and hand down a written statement in a few days.
Those objecting also asked what would become of the judges of elections, poll workers and voting machines after the consolidations.
Heid said the election bureau has entertained an idea of having some judges of elections and poll workers as floaters; they would go to whatever polling locations they are needed. However, no decisions have been made.
Blosser said the voting machines from the districts that are eliminated will go to the new locations.
• The other district George allowed the election bureau to consolidate was turning District Three at Collier VFD and District Four at the Georges Township Municipal Building into the municipal building since the fire department was not ADA complaint.
Another consolidation hearing will take place at 9 a.m. Wednesday before Judge Linda Cordaro for the following townships: Jefferson (Districts One and Two), Luzerne (Districts Three, Four and Six), Nicholson (Districts One and Two), Perry (Districts One, Two and Three), Redstone (Districts One and Two), Saltlick (Districts One, Two and Three), Washington (Districts Two and Three) and Wharton (Districts One and Two).

(WBIR) The attorney for a student, arrested during a massive party near the University of Tennessee, appeared in court on behalf of her client Tuesday.
Jarod Dotson, 21, received international attention after photos published by The Daily Mail showed a deputy's hands around his neck. Dotson was one of fifteen people arrested during that party in the Fort Sanders area on Saturday, April 26. He was charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest.
Dotson's attorney Tasha Blakney, who is also representing a handful of people arrested during the party, had her client's appearance waived Tuesday. His preliminary hearing is now set for June 18. Blakney said Dotson is facing criminal charges and is taking his situation "very seriously."
MORE: One deputy fired, two on leave after UT party bust
The Knox County Sheriff's Office fired Officer Frank Phillips, 47, immediately after an investigation revealed he used "excessive force" during the incident. Phillips had been with the sheriff's office since 1992 and was named "Officer of the Month" twice. The two other deputies seen in the pictures, Ronald Chaperon Jr. and Brandon Gilliam, were also placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of an investigation.
UT police first responded to the massive party but then called the Knoxville Police Department and the Knox County Sheriff's Department for assistance. Officials estimated about 800 people were at the party.
Party witnesses told authorities that people were initially on the lawn but spilled into the streets. Knoxville police said when the crowd became unruly, including some people throwing beer bottles, 60 officials responded to clear the streets.

This is all observation only, and I don't know what the "official"
behavior is supposed to be or claimed to be, but what I normally see on
Windows DHCP servers at least, is that they appear to honor the client
request for IP address when possible. For Windows clients, they always
request the same address they had last even if the lease has long since
expired, assuming it's in the same subnet as where they found the DHCP
server. That essentially means that no matter what your lease time, a
machine will get an IP address and keep it until the server is forced to
issue it to someone else by virtue of running out of available addresses
and having to start reusing them. That could be colored by the fact
that probably 90 percent of the machines on our network are never
offline long enough for the lease to expire, but the remainder of them
are off for weeks, even months at a time, and they always seem to wind
up with the same address as well. Our pool is substantially larger than
the number of machines on the network at the moment thus there is never
any reason to reissue an address to any other machine than the one which
had it last.

DEC 21 2012 PANAMA CANAL on the STATENDAM: Statendam Cruise Review by izi1
Overall Member Rating
DEC 21 2012 PANAMA CANAL on the STATENDAM
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: San Diego
We embarked at noon in San Diego and had to wait 6 hours till our baggage arrived outside our cabin. It was not just us, but all of the passengers suffered this ignonomy. Even though we came extra early so that we could get ready for the evening. It was especially difficult since our Sabbath starts at Sundown, and we had no clothes to wear that evening. The excuse given was "a computer glitch". There was not so much as "an excuse us" from anyone, not even the cruise director.
At the end of the cruise, after we disembarked in Ft Lauderdale, we had to wait on the Pier for almost three hours to go thru disembarkation". Once we got to the Customs officer, we were waved thru immediately. We still cant understand the long delay in Ft Lauderdale. the excuse given there was "the computer is down".
The rest of the cruise was More very enjoyable. The crew was always helpful, happy and cheerful. We couldn't ask for more. The dining room staff went out of their way to accommodate us, even though we had special dietary requirements. Our Cabin was always clean, and the Captain's announcements very jovial. Everyone of the crew did their utmost to make our voyage smooth and calm.
We did not take any of the Ships organized shore excursions, instead we opted to find our own tours which were as good and much less expensive. Mostly we went with a couple of other passengers in Vans and Taxis. Only once did we get "gypped" - in Cartagena Colombia. We had asked the "Tour Guide" FERNANDO TOURS to take us to the Palacio Inquisition. He promised to do so, but said we would get there at the end of the tour. We never did. Instead he took us to various shops where I am sure he got commission. Never mind, we did little shopping since we were waiting for The PALACIO. I suggest that you stay away from FERNANDO's TOUR in Cartagena, and hope that HOLLAND AMERICA takes away his port license and does not allow him to enter the port to scam others.
Due to the inconveniences we experienced at the beginning and end of the trip, we will opt for other cruise lines in the future. Less

C-P finds the going tough in 16-2A
By JOSEPH ELERSON | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Oct. 14, 2007 - COMO - Como-Pickton first-year head coach Paul Tullis found out just how tough the District 16-2A season will be Friday night following a 35-20 loss to the Hawkins Hawks at Ron Heflin Field.
"I think the main thing was we came out and it was an offensive battle," the coach said. "We couldn't stop their offense and their defense never really stopped our offense. We went down through the plays and they probably made 3-or-4 plays and we probably didn't make 3-or-4 plays and I think that made the difference."
The Eagles are now 3-3 overall and 0-1 in district and will travel to Quitman next Friday night for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff. The Bulldogs (5-1 overall, 1-0 in district) defeated Alba-Golden, 35-18, in Alba Friday night.
The Hawks (2-4, 1-0) used a heavy dose of sophomore tailback Corey Stevenson as he rushed for 171 yards on 26 carries and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter.
With the two teams tied at 14-14 at the intermission, Hawkins opened up the third quarter with a six-play drive as Stevenson went around the left side of the line and scampered 24 yards to paydirt for the 21-14 lead.
The Eagles then scored on their next possession with a 14-play, 72-yard drive that took 6:57 off of the clock capped by a quarterback sneak by Noe Tellez. On the PAT, Tellez's kick went wide right as Hawkins held a 21-20 lead with 2:03 remaining in the quarter.
During the drive, the Eagles had 13 running plays to only one pass as the completion went to tight end Keith Anderson, who found a hole in the middle of the Hawkins defense for 22 yards.
Earlier in the contest, Hawkins scored on its first possession of the game as quarterback Jorden Stephens went in from 1-yard out for the early 7-0 lead.
The Hawkins defense held CPHS to three-and-outs on their first two possessions until the Eagles put together an impressive drive on their next possession.
The Eagles put together 10 straight running plays and converted a fourth-and-2 situation as Spencer Boyd rushed for five yards for the first down. Following the play, Hawkins was called for a five-yard facemask penalty that put the ball on the Hawkins 16-yard line.
Three plays later, sophomore James Carter tied the game at 7-7 with a 9-yard run down the right sideline. Tellez booted his first of two PATs good with 6:47 remaining in the second quarter.
Carter finished the game with 14 carries for 65 yards and one touchdown after coming back from a turf toe injury last week against Blue Ridge. Tullis said Carter fought hard through the pain all night long.
"There was times when he came off that his toe was hurting pretty good," the coach said. "We had an offense set up with Mitch running the option stuff in the first half, but I thought the offensive line drove them pretty good in the first half and James ran hard."
Hawkins wasted no time on its next possession to take a 14-7 lead as Stephens found Dion Carter for a 14-yard touchdown reception with 3:49 remaining in the half. Michael Macaluso booted his second of five PATs good.
With time running out in the first half, Tellez tied the score at 14-14 with a quarterback sneak that capped off a nine-play, 60-yard drive after the Eagle defense held Hawkins on downs.
After taking the 21-20 lead, the Hawks put the nail in the coffin with 14 unanswered points as Stephens had two touchdown runs of 3 yards respectively for the 35-20 finale.
On the Eagles final drive of the game, the offense converted a fourth-and-14 opportunity with a 37-yard completion from Mitch Lowe to Ryan Carpenter on an option play, but the Eagles were held on downs at the Hawkins' 2-yard line. Earlier in that drive, Carpenter caught a 12-yard pass from Tellez and then did the hook-and-ladder play with a pitch to Corey Gibson for a 2-yard gain.
"We had that (the option play) and we knew that we would be able to run the option on them because they play so much man coverage," Tullis said. "We ran the option really good in the first half and we didn't feel like throwing it yet until we got into that desperate situation late.
"If our receiver had a little more space inbounds on the hook-and-ladder, maybe he could have scored up the sideline. We got a little too wide on the stop before he could pitch it back there."

The Osmington Speedwatch group has had a busy few weeks since they received their new replacement camera. This looks somewhat like a mobile phone but is very efficient in recording the speed of vehicles through the village. On one morning between the hours of 7 and 9am 25 vehicles were registered speeding, and one recorded speed was well over 40 miles per hour. Speedwatch is obviously helping to reduce speed of some drivers through our village, as the police have informed us that no driver has been recorded again after receiving a warning letter issued after the first occasion.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Jason Kidd had 28 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds for his 66th career triple-double, and the New Jersey Nets kept their slim playoff hopes alive by beating the Knicks 110-98 Thursday night in a physical game that sent New York to its season-high eighth straight loss.

The win was the eighth in 11 games for the Nets (37-39), and it moved them within a game of idle Philadelphia (37-37) in the race for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
New Jersey has six games remaining, two less than the 76ers.
The loss pushed the Knicks (29-45) to the brink of being eliminated from playoff contention. A win by Philadelphia win or a loss by the Knicks will end the misery for the team.
Mavericks 104, Spurs 68: At Dallas, Keith Van Horn scored 10 of his 17 points during the game-breaking third quarter and the Mavericks avoided a season sweep by the Tim Duncan-less Spurs, San Antonio's most lopsided loss since falling to Seattle by 38 in the 2001 finale.
Harrington placed on injured reserve
ATLANTA - The Atlanta Hawks placed leading scorer and rebounder Al Harrington on the injured list Thursday, causing him to miss at least five of the final eight games of the season.
General Manager Billy Knight said Harrington, who missed the Hawks' 13th straight loss Tuesday, a home game against New Orleans, has tendinitis in his right knee.
Harrington is averaging 17.5 points and 7.5 rebounds.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 871493:MV85NzEyOTNfMTUxNzYyNzhfM0Y4MkRGNzg=] - [color=indigo] [b]Inside a Grand Lodge of Illuminati in Paris[/b][/color] [i]The following provides short summary from the book From A Nymph of Satan to a Bride of Christ, by Brother Vincent de Paul of the Immaculate, Heart , T.O.S.F., 1987, published by Third Order, P.O. Box 712, St. Louis, MO 63188 .[/i] Introduction ◦Klo[b]tilde Bersone[/b] was a ravishingly beautiful girl at 17, who was an honor student and could speak six languages. Her father was a Freemason. He lost 60,000 lires (about $700) in gambling and agreed to [b]sell Klotilde to the Grand Lodge [/b]of the Illuminati in Istanbul, Turkey in exchange for the payment of this debt. This Turkish Lodge was connected to 6 other Grand Lodges of the Illuminati throughout the world. Bersone rose from the rank of [b]"Nymph of the Night" to "Nymph Initiated to Secrets", "Illuminati", "Sovereign Grand Master Nymph", and then "Bride of Lucifer" or "Queen of the Illuminati".[/b] ◦The initial setting was in Turkey in December 1874, but it was moved to Paris, France where in the beginning she was raped by the Grand Orient of the Supreme Lodge of Illuminati of France, the American General [b]James Abram Garfield[/b], and became his mistress. [i]Garfield was elected to the House of Representatives while still a General fighting the Civil War. He was a hero of Shilo and promoted to Major General. He was the youngest General (30) in the Civil War. He became Grand Orient of the French Illuminati in secret and spent as much time in Europe as in America. In December 1863, at the request of President Abraham Lincoln, Garfield resigned as General and ran for Congress. He was congressman for 17 years, rising to the position of Republican House Leader. He was married in 1858 to Miss Lucretia Rudolph, and had 2 daughters and 3 sons. He was elected to the Senate in January 1880, but never served in that office. He was always absent in Paris with Masonic business. Illuminati Lodges wanted him to win the presidency. ◦Garfield was elected President of the U.S. in March 1881 and was shot on July 2, 1881 by Charles Guiteau of France at the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad Station in Washington D.C. Garfield was expected to fully recover after being dismissed from the hospital. On August 11, while recuperating in a seaside cottage he wrote to his mother that he was recovering well and growing stronger every day. He signed it "Your loving son". He died mysteriously on September 19, 1881. [/i] ◦Klotilde, full of hatred for everyone in the Masonic Lodges, was determined to learn all secrets about the Illuminati, to rise through the ranks, and eventually to reveal these secrets to the world in order to take revenge against those who had violated her womanhood and brought her immeasurable misery and horror. ◦The original UNPUBLISHED manuscript of her diary was in Italian. It was translated into French and then German in 1931. It was translated into English in 1984 by a holy Jesuit Lithuanian Priest, Father Jonas Gaudze (died in 1985), who was the Superior of the Holy Seer, Portavoz, Mother Conchita, of the Franciscan Minims of Mexico City, Mexico. [u]Inside the Grand Lodge of the Illuminati of France[/u] ◦First, to become member of the Order, Klotilde had to take a dreadful oath. In making the oath, Klotilde had to kneel down with her head bent backwards, as though offering her throat to a dagger, and to swear the following oath: [color=blue][b]1."I swear blindly to obey all orders of the Masonic Lodge, without questioning the reason for it. 2."I swear to not belong to any other religion except the Masons. 3."I swear to not give in to any influence, and to break any opposition (resistance) against the aim (goal) of the Masonic Lodge. 4."Should I become ever unfaithful to this oath, then may all daggers pierce me, which are now drawn against my throat." [/b][/color] ◦Klotilde discovered a death chapel where 18 skulls were laid on tables and altars. There was a white marble beast with 7 heads, which the masons call "Dragon Hydra". It looked terrible, with some beauty. Some heads looked like lions, some resemble panthers. Some had one horn, while others had several horns. The body was one of a leopard with black stripes. The short strong legs had powerful claws. The Grand Orient (General James Garfield, before he became U.S. President in March 1881) frequently invoked Satan to animate the marble beast. Here is his prayer of adoration: ■"I recognize you as the highest Being, which enlightens our minds and our actions. You also enlighten me especially, and you lead my arm. You have the supremacy of the Universe, and you move it because all is your creation (sic). ■"Heaven and earth belong to you, which are fulfilled with your glory, which are images of your greatness, and superiority. You are the light, strength and power. Show your might, which if wanted, can subject heart and mind. [b]You are the helpful protector of each one of yours, you enemy of the [color=red]crucified[/color]. [/b] [color=darkred][b]■"In your name, I curse God, The Trinity, Christ, and His Virgin Mother. Hear me, the one you possess, and who is one with you![/b] [/color] ■"In trust of your revelations, in the faith of your might above all created, visible and invisible things. I have the right to request and receive from you what you know." ◦After this and some chants in Yiddish language, the beast became alive. He howled and answered questions. Through this beast, Satan approved or disapproved proposals and decisions made by [b]Masonic lodges throughout the world[/b]. [color=blue][b]And through the nymph of Beelzebub, he encouraged, urged, prodded, and [u]guided the lodges to actions against the Catholic Church[/u].[/b] [/color] The beast could take the form of a Dragon Hydra with 7 heads (only one of the heads wore a crown), then a man. He even appeared as a beautiful, richly adorned woman. He also showed himself as an Angel of Darkness. He put on these transformations to impress his bride, Klotilde. One time, the beast rained down gold pieces at her feet. ◦To be high-initiated, she had to kill a man enclosed inside a hollowed human-size doll wearing a tiara ([b]triple crown worn by Popes[/b]), to [b]renounce all her Catholic Dogmas[/b], the Sacraments and Jesus Christ, to be unbaptized, and to accept the Dragon (Lucifer) through the Beast (Beelzebub) as her Master. [u]◦Before Klotilde became the nymph, she had to sign a pact with Satan in blood. [/u] The text of pact is as follows: [color=red][b]■"I renounce the Holy Trinity, the Crucifixional Sacrifice of the Roman Catholic Religion. [/b][/color] I renounce the belief in one God. I give up all secrets which are not revealed by the Spirit (Satan), and also the works, which do not originate from him. I give voluntarily to him, all of myself, my body, and my soul! I beg him to take exclusive possession of his ruling domain, my mind, my will, and my thinking. I call upon him to live and act in me as I also live and act in him. [color=darkred][b]In his name, I curse Christ! the only true Catholic Church, and all His Sacraments!"[/b][/color] [u]◦In the rituals of initiation to the membership, countless acts of sacrilege were also given to a Consecrated Host stolen from the Catholic Church. [/u] One time, an apostate fallen Catholic Abbot (named Mazati) came to the lodge to say Mass and left 120 Consecrated Hosts for the sacrilege committed on Good Fridays. The Abbot had a more powerful way to order the Dragon to appear in the body of the seven-headed beast. [b]He did not follow the rituals of adoration and incantation, which might take hours, but simply ordered the Dragon to appear in the name of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and the Holy Ghost[/b]. Every time he used this, the Dragon Hydra revealed himself immediately and the marble beast became alive. Several of the Illuminati began using this new formula, because it was more effective and convenient in spite of the displeasure evidenced by Satan when it was used. On one occasion, the beast revealed that the real reason for the lodge to worship him was money. The beast also revealed to Klotilde all of the errors of all Non-Catholic Sects. ◦The high Illuminati of Grand Lodge of Paris included President of France Jules Grévy, his Premier and many Ministers. But the highest among them was James Garfield, its Grand Orient. The Jewish Talmud was used as the Holy Book for prayer and incantation in the lodge. ◦As the Nymph of Satan, she became the voice box for Beelzebub (Garfield called him the "Masonry Spirit") issuing orders to the Lodges to kill or to take actions, which terrified many Grand Masters of the Lodges. She committed many murders under the order of the Lodges. Among the murdered victims were King of Italy Victor Emmanuel II> and General James Garfield. In the latter case, the charge was that he had violated the rules of the Lodges by loving Klotilde, the bride of demon Beelzebub, and taking her as his mistress, thereby putting personal interest before the Lodges' interest. The assassination of Garfield was assisted by Prince Otto Eduard Leopold Von Bismark, the Chancellor of Germany. Bismark was also a Mason who provided the Paris Lodge with documents to show that Garfield committed treason against Masonry. This attack on Garfield was Bismark's revenge for the brutal knifing of Zemard, one of his Knights of Kadosch, who was sacrificed to the demon Beelzebub at the Paris Lodge on a Good Friday. Lucifer was totally discouraged when the Lodge decided to kill Garfield as the latter was brilliant in bringing ranking dignitaries into the pit of Masonry. Garfield had become one of Lucifer's favorites. Lucifer approved of this order since he must respect human free will. For even Lucifer himself could not control the passions of the Lodge's members. The Beast lamented to Klotilde: ■"I cannot tolerate the human race. Even my own Masons are demonstrating the vileness of human character in its avarice, and vulgar passions. These people do not given him (Lucifer) enough homage and gratitude. But how could these corruptible, selfish and low instinct, addicted earthlings be faithful? They are selfish to me, their master, who is giving them everything. . . . Treason was their element, and unrestrained pleasure was their role. They even defied the 'Holy' Laws of the Masonic Lodge." ◦So Lucifer resigned to taking souls with him to Hell whenever opportunity arose. Besides, by his nature, he loved to stir up jealousy and hatred for one another among different factions within the Grand Lodges. To the Beast, death to capture a soul is top priority over the success of the Lodge. ◦Jealousy among members for Klotilde's fast rise to the highest position in the Grand Orient Lodge and her sudden speeches outpouring the members' failures and omissions caused the majority of the Grand Council to turn against her. She had made them tremble by her knowledge of their deeds given by Lucifer. [b]The high initiates held a trial and decided to banish her to a brothel in Grenoble.[/b] This decision was approved by Lucifer who became disenchanted with her for her beginning dislike of him. Only when Klotilde became pregnant at the brothel did she make the critical decision to escape and take refuge in a Catholic cloistered convent in Paris. There, she became Sister Marie Amelie. She recounted her frightful story inside the Grand Lodge of Illuminati in Paris to her Mother Superior, who commanded her to write it down in 1885 for the public to know. The duplicate authentic manuscript of her memoirs of 1885 is kept somewhere in the archives of a Roman Catholic Covent in France. http://biblebelievers.org.au/masonry3.htm [/quote]

There's unfortunately no direct way to calculate a upper threshold, it really depends on your method for inserting as well as how often you compact. This is due to the tail append storage which will orphan data in the file as it writes new records to the various internal data structures.

Ken Gonzales-Day creates a series of photographs in which the ropes and lynched victim have been removed from the scene.
Gonzales Day notes: "the Erased Lyncing series sought to reveal that racially motivated lynching and vigilantism was a more widespread practice in the American West than was believed, and that in California, the majority of Lynchings were perpetrated against Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans."
In this case, the haunting absence of the victim becomes an invisible presence; these effigies to America's brutal past shift the focus to the perpetrators of the crime. Remaining fully present, their hand in history becomes palpable.

Here at BTA Motorsports we are very excited about the new VF / Gen-F Commodore range. We have kicked off our performance packages with the fitting of our very first Stage 1 kit on this beautiful Gen-F HSV Clubsport R8.
The owner was very keen to get the car on the dyno to maximise its potential of the HSV LS3 motor. Running the car up on the dyno in stock form showed 239.4kW at the wheels, after fitting the stage 1 upgrade kit and the custom dyno tune, the car made 274.3kW at the wheels. That's a big improvement over stock with a 35kW gain. Watch the video at the bottom of the page to see the full duno run!
Torque also improved with an increase of torque over the entire range. The Stage 1 kit is a mild upgrade that will increase drivability, performance and fuel economy.
It looks like the new VF will be quite popular and with some good power gains available from simple mods and tuning it's bound to be a hit with the Holden performance fans !
We are developing a full range of kits from Stage 1 to Stage 4, mild to wild. We can build the VF commodore of your dreams, so don't hesitate to call us on +61 2 9789 6075 or email us on firstname.lastname@example.com

Read Part 1 here, Part 3 here, and Part 4 here.
One of the items in Lexie's new room that I needed to girlify was her dresser. As I mentioned earlier, painting it wasn't an option. It's a very nice dresser with simple lines and a pretty maple color, but it's not at all girly. The biggest culprit was the drawer pulls.
Again, nice and simple. But not girly. Solid, yes. Even a bit masculine. So I immediately pegged them for replacement. My original plan was to raid thrift and antique stores, as well as home improvement stores, and get an eclectic collection of old and new, simple and ornate, plain and glittery knobs and pulls (since I could go with either a pull of the right dimensions or replace one pull with 2 knobs). But I couldn't find anything I liked in my first couple attempts, and I had 11 pulls to replace.
It was etsy that gave me the inspiration needed. First, I found these adorable hand painted fairy drawer knobs that I fell in love with. I even looked, and I couldn't find anything out there nearly as good. Even better, since it's from an etsy shop, I was able to place a custom order that mixed it up with the 3 main colors in Lexie's room: pink, purple and green. And they were absolutely beautiful when they arrived:
Of course, buying 22 of them would have been a bit too expensive (understandably, since they're hand crafted). Fortunately, that extra searching I'd done had given me another inspiration. Lexie's room wasn't solely being decorated with fairies; I was also using butterflies and flowers. And there are some truly stunning butterfly and flower polymer clay canes out there at seriously affordable prices…so I was able to get a great variety.
The leaf canes and 3 butterfly canes came from the vanderveens; the purple rose on the right and dark blue rose on the bottom are from RoniGur; the purple rose on the left came from Tami Shvat; the turquoise rose in the middle from Lava Gifts; the light pink rose in the middle is from DicopeSupplies; and the bright pink rose on the bottom came from Ronit Golan.
I also bought some light pink polymer clay to cover the handles with, and some glitter…because what almost 4-year-old girl couldn't use more glitter in her life?
If you're wondering what those metal pieces are, they're the blades from a deconstructed men's razor. Helpful note to anyone who hasn't used polymer clay canes before: you need a very thin and sharp blade to slice them, or you're going to end up with a smashed and broken mess. Ask me how I know. There actually are tools out there sold for this, but none of my local stores had them, and I didn't have the patience to wait for the tissue blades I ordered online. So I improvised.
The first thing I did was cover the drawer pulls with well-conditioned and nicely flattened pink clay. For the conditioning and flattening I opted for a pasta machine–I got one at Michael's that was in the section with the polymer clay, and for the hassle it saved me, the less than $30 price tag was well worth it.
Once the pull was completely covered, I took some of the slices I'd cut from the various canes and placed them on the front of the pull.
I did one test first; since 3 of the drawer pulls were being replaced with knobs I had them to spare. From the test I decided it was best to trim away as much of the translucent clay that surrounded the flowers and butterflies as I could; even at a lower temperature it turned dark. I also learned that I could cut thicker slices and then flatten them out larger to make bigger flowers.
I had several bad cuts, where I didn't get a complete slice, but I found I could fit those around other flowers to give more dimensionality to the piece. Once the front was well covered, I sprinkled sparkle liberally over the handle and pressed it in firmly.
The clay I used called for baking at 275 deg F, but I used 250 because of the translucent clay. The baking was easy; I just covered a cookie sheet with plain paper, but the handles on top, and baked for about 2 hours.
The handles came out just as I was hoping. They're thick and chunky with an irregular, lumpy look, which is what I wanted–which might be a case of deciding in advance to be happy with what I was likely to get, considering my total lack of experience. But either way, I'm happy.
And I love them on the dresser.
When she outgrows these handles, all I have to do is replace them for a more grown up look. For now, though, she's in love.

Napolitano visits Super Bowl site
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--Janet Napolitano, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, was in South Florida on Monday and toured the Super Bowl facilities and the security operations in and around them.
"I'm here today to see the operation myself," Napolitano said at a news conference at the Super Bowl media center, adding that she also had meetings in the area on other topics.
Sunday's Super Bowl between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens was designated a special event by the Department of Homeland Security.
That was not unusual for the Super Bowl, but Napolitano's visit was.
"I don't think we've ever had that, where we've had a secretary of homeland security come on site," said Milt Ahlerich, the NFL's vice president of security.
Ahlerich said the NFL spent $6 million on security for the 10th Super Bowl to be held in Miami.
Security planning for the game has taken place for the last two years, Ahlerich said.
"This security plan is very robust," Ahlerich said. "It is very well coordinated at the municipal level, the state level and the federal level. There won't be any problems. We have a lot of confidence in that."
Officials said that fans entering the stadium Sunday will be subject to security screenings, including pat-downs and screenings by metal detectors. They advised fans to arrive at the stadium early and not to attempt to take anything larger than a small purse or bag into the stadium.
Temporary flight restrictions will be in effect Sunday.
Napolitano declined to provide a figure for the amount of money spent by the federal government on the Super Bowl security effort but said the security measures will include inspections at local airports and ports.
"We are looking forward to a great and safe Super Bowl," Napolitano said. "We are doing everything we can think of."

Definition Edit
A community cloud is a cloud infrastructure that is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). It may be managed by the organizations or a third party and may exist on-premise or off-premise.
Overview Edit
Figure 12 depicts an on-site community cloud comprised of a number of participant organizations. A cloud consumer can access the local cloud resources, and also the resources of other participating organizations through the connections between the associated organizations. Figure 13 shows an outsourced community cloud, where the server side is outsourced to a hosting company. In this case, an outsourced community cloud builds its infrastructure off premise, and serves a set of organizations that request and consume cloud services.

The Hall County Recycling Center recently opened a new space for young people to learn about recycled materials and ways they can make a difference.
The spacious trailer located outside the facility, known as the "Green Education Station," was surplus property from the Hall County Schools district last fall.
"What's great is we don't have to worry about distractions and we can have a place to ourselves," said Rick Foote, Hall County's natural resources coordinator.
Foote has given educational presentations about recycling for several years, but they were usually held in the center's front office.
The former area was cramped and tours were often disrupted by telephone calls, he said.
"This building was not originally designed to be a recycling center," Foote said, adding that it was used for poultry feed storage as well as a county warehouse at one point.
In 1992, the building was retrofitted into a recycling building. Foote said most recycling facilities he's toured were designed with an educational center in mind.
"We didn't have the luxury to have a ground-up design," he said.
However, the meets its purpose, Foote said, and it can comfortably fit more students.
An environmental science class from Gainesville State College used the trailer Monday, as Foote talked with them about how recycled materials are used for everyday products.
Dawn Drumtra said she was initially worried about bringing a larger size class in for a presentation. The front office was suitable when she brought six students, but not for 15.
"I was really glad to see this was available," she said, of the new space.
The students were also impressed with the trailer, which includes an area for Powerpoint presentations.
"I think it's a good size, it makes sense for everyone," Gainesville State College sophomore Olivia Echols said.
Foote said schools are emphasizing recycling in their curriculum, and it's also part of the statewide standards to offer a recycling unit in third grade.
Third-grade classes from Mount Vernon Elementary School visit for presentations each year, and at one point, the staff managed to fit 60 students in the front office.
While the new space could probably handle 60, Foote said they'll bring in smaller groups this year, just to be safe.
He adds that he's happy to have a space of his own — free of noise — to teach.
"It's dedicated for the purpose of education and we don't have to share it for other uses," he said.

text: December 16, 2011 • 2 Someday Devotional: Day 16 Luke 2:7 "There was no room for them in the inn." Talk about the last straw. Mary traveled all this way, pregnant, due any moment and they don't even have a reservation. This is so not funny. I imagine Bethlehem noisy and crowded, filled with others travelers who have come to register their families. Along comes this meek and humble young man, with his very great with child wife. Quietly and unobtrusively, they made their way from inn to inn, only to be met with the same response—there's just no room. Joseph didn't go 'busting' into each inn shouting, "Son of God, comin' through." Gently and meekly, Joseph diligently sought a place for he and Mary. And in the hustle and bustle of the city, the innkeeper missed the chance to welcome the Son of God in his home. How often, in the midst of our noise and chaos, do we perhaps miss God. He's not shouting to noticed. He quietly and unobtrusively asks us if we have room for Him. Very often, we need to step out of our chaos to hear Him. Only then can we respond by saying, "Yes, Lord. I have room for you. I welcome you into my heart." Share Tags Christmas, Hi Notes, Someday

Common Artist Legal Problems and How to Avoid Them
Selling your art through a dealer, consultant, artist representative, gallery or agent constitutes a business relationship. A successful relationship means negotiating and implementing a contract, agreement or arrangement that works for both you and the seller. Basically, you entrust your art to the seller who in turn, promotes and markets it, sells it, collects the money and then pays you a predetermined percentage of those sales.
This sounds straightforward, but problems arise when either one or both parties doesn't understand the details of an arrangement, one or both parties decides that the arrangement isn't fair or one or both parties doesn't honor the arrangement. Most disagreements can be resolved by simple discussions between artist and seller, but those that can't may require legal intervention and months or even years of litigation and expense. Fortunately, the great majority of problems, legal and otherwise, can be avoided by following a few simple procedures.
For starters, know who you're dealing with. Do not enter into business relationships with people you don't know, no matter how glamorous they seem, what promises they make or how desperate you are to show and sell your work. Artists occasionally get so excited at the prospects of sales and exposure for their art that they send it off into the cosmos never to see or hear from either it or the sellers again.
Always check a seller's references ahead of time, particularly through artists that seller has represented, before entering any negotiations and absolutely before signing any contracts. Learn about the seller's reputation in the art community, how long they've been in business, how promptly they pay, how well they sell, how well they follow through on their promises and so on.
When you decide a seller is good to do business with, your next step is to meet with that seller and discuss possible selling arrangements. Before you can do that, though, you have to know what you want. Make a list of your expectations, and be ready to discuss them, one by one, when the two of you meet. These include details such as what you want your selling prices to be, how much art you would like to sell, how and when you like to be paid, what percentage of retail prices you prefer, and how long you want the business arrangement to last. Sellers, of course, have their own requirements for how they do business, which may or may not match up with yours. Requirements that don't match will have to be negotiated.
Negotiating is not easy for many artists, especially artists who are just starting out. Becoming a good negotiator is more a matter of experience than anything else, so get in there, do your best and learn as you go. Keep in mind that the earlier you are in your career, the less bargaining or negotiating power you have and the less negotiating skills you have. If you're not that experienced, think about hiring a professional art consultant, mediator, or even an attorney for an hour or two to review any contracts or discuss details of any arrangements a seller presents to you. The less negotiable a seller's terms are, the more you should think about hiring that professional in order to make sure you're not putting yourself at any unecessary risk.
A central aspect of every negotiation is money, so don't enter into negotiations unless you have a good idea of what your art is worth. Get a sense of that worth by talking to artists who have representation and/or show at galleries, preferably artists with similar career experience to yours. Find out what percentages of sales they receive (typical percentage is in the vicinity of 50%), when and how they get paid and so on. You might also read Price Your Art Realistically.
Don't be afraid to talk about money. When you're not sure about the dollars and cents details that a seller proposes, ask. If you think you deserve more money for your art than the seller is offering you or you have questions about percentage arrangements, ask. Remember, though, that the less experience you have showing and selling at galleries, the more flexible you should be in your demands.
Have realistic expectations about money and avoid coming to any negotiation with overly inflated ideas of what your art is worth. Just because you're offered a show or a rep shows interest in your art does not mean that you suddenly raise your asking prices. Make sure that the seller is comfortable with your price structure and seriously consider any money feedback they give. If your art is too expensive, it won't sell. That simple.
Understand exactly what happens when your art sells. Know what percentage of a sale you get and most importantly, how and when you get paid. Every business arrangement should include a fixed time period, usually 30 days or less, between the completion of a sale (the buyer pays the seller) and you getting your money.
When you're done negotiating, put the agreement in writing; in other words, write and sign a contract that covers all the basic points. Agreements that don't get written down are subject to a variety of problems, not the least of which is one side remembering it one way and the other side remembering it another. He said/she said types of disputes are difficult to mediate and miserable to litigate. Unless you know the seller or the two of you have a longstanding and successful business relationship, go formal rather than casual.
Before you sign or agree to anything, make sure you understand the relationship from the seller's side. Empathy is an important aspect of any successful working arrangement. Know that every seller you'll ever work with believes in your art, wants it to sell and believes they can sell it.
Maximizing sales means knowing and doing what's expected of you. Deliver your art on time, show up at your openings, meet with prospective buyers and do whatever else you and the seller agree to. Don't make commitments unless you intend to keep them and never misrepresent yourself in any way just to get a show or an agent. The art world is small and word travels fast; you don't want to ruin your career before it gets started.
Also understand that just because a seller takes you on does not mean your art will automatically sell. The fact is that sellers sometimes guess wrong and show art that doesn't sell. If your art turns out to be a bad match for the seller's clientele or fails to sell for other reasons, that does not mean that the seller failed to uphold his or her end of the deal. In instances where your art doesn't sell, end the relationship with dignity and respect and move on.
Once a relationship is in place, stay flexible and be easy to work with. Avoid feelings of entitlement and don't take yourself too seriously or get unreasonable about how events progress. If you're suspicious of every sentence in a contract, for example, critical about how your art is hung or displayed, you constantly bug dealers about whether they're showing your art or about who's seen it, who's interested, or whether or not it's selling, you'll scare them away. Most importantly, don't get a reputation for being argumentative, using lawyers or getting into legal entanglements; that's a sure fire way to crimp your career. Use every means possible to resolve disagreements, short of engaging the legal system.
Additional tips:
* Negotiations are not always straightforward. Know what you need, what you can't live without, when to compromise, when to back down. Do your best to understand the other side's interests and what they want. Take the risk if it seems worth the exposure; walk away when it doesn't feel right, you feel like you're being taken advantage of or you sense a lack of respect on the seller's part. Sometimes you take a chance, sometimes you lose, and sometimes you win big. Nothing is a given, but as you gain business experience, you get better at making the judgment calls.
* Register your copyrights, especially when you're concerned about your art being reproduced without your permission. Read more about registering your copyrights here-- and why it's a good idea.
* Decide whether to sell reproduction rights with your art. If you sell reproduction rights and expect to be paid, include that in your agreements.
* Include a mediation clause in your agreements, preferably with nonprofit art advocacy groups such as the California Lawyers for the Arts (all states and countries have such organizations). That way, disputes have a good chance of being resolved without having to hire attorneys or go through the legal system.
* Think about including a bankruptcy clause, especially when a seller has not been in business that long. Make sure your agreement clearly states that bankruptcy proceeds from the sale of your art go to you and you alone, and not to whichever creditors are first in line.
* Ask about and understand any exclusivity clause in any contract. Watch out when sellers demand exclusive rights to sell your art over large geographical areas, particularly if this is a first-time agreement. Limit exclusivity clauses with new sellers to six months or less (certainly no longer than a year), and keep them local or regional, not statewide, not national, not worldwide. Renegotiate the terms if your art sells well and you mutually decide to extend your business relationship.
* Be on the lookout for unreasonable termination clauses that require you to pay back, for any reason or at any time or at the other party's sole discretion, advances or initial payments made to you. Advances are yours to keep (unless you fail to uphold your end of the deal).
* Understand loss, damage, and theft clauses. Know whose responsibility it is to insure your art and/or reimburse you in the event of problems. When responsibility is with the seller, make sure they have enough insurance to cover the value of your art.
* Understand the details of any installment payments, advances, or other creative financing that a seller either offers or proposes.
* Make sure your agreement has an escape clause. This means that if your art doesn't sell after a period of time, preferably six months, the contract is over. Or specify a period after which the contract is to be renegotiated.
* If you have multiple galleries, representatives or agents, make sure you all understand your percentage arrangements. You don't want to find yourself in a position of having to give 80 percent of gross sales to combinations of middlemen handling your art (50% is typical).
* Avoid arrangements where when your art sells, everybody else gets paid first and you get paid last.
* Avoid using attorneys to resolve legal disputes. "Getting justice" or "punishing" someone for doing something to you almost always costs money (and almost always lots of it), wastes time (almost always lots of it), takes your focus off of your art, compromises your reputation and jeopardizes future business relationships. None of this is good.
* Never sign a questionable contract just to get a show or make a sale.
Additional legal resources for artists:
* Nolo Press publications such as Protect Your Rights as an Artist.
* Nonprofit artist advocacy websites like California Lawyers for the Arts.

Raul Manjarrez
Raul Manjarrez (b. 1982) began playing the piano at the age of 12 as a self taught. Two years later he began piano lessons, which he continued through high school. After high school Raul began studying with Dylan Savage at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, where he earned a B.M. in Piano Performance. After completing his undergraduate degree, Raul began working towards a M.M. in Piano Performance at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro under the guidance of John Salmon, who is known for his interpretations of the piano music of Dave Brubeck.
In addition to practicing solo piano works, Raul played the string bass in his high school orchestra. During his undergraduate studies, he was the pianist for the wind ensemble and the jazz ensemble. Manjarrez began working as a church organist and accompanist five years ago while working towards his bachelors degree. Raul is expected to complete his masters degree in the Spring of 2009 and hopes to spend time working as a music teacher before beginning work on a doctoral degree.
