All prints are Digital Pigment prints on museum-quality acid-free papers such as Museum Etching, Canson Rag and Arches Velin. These papers are designed to meet galleries and museum longevity requirements and ensure consistency of shades 200 years old. The choice of paper is suggested by the Photographer according to his or her preferences.
All prints are Digital Pigment Prints using the latest top of the line technology, archival high dynamic inks and 200 years old life paper.
No, the photograph is not signed, instead the Photographer signs a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) which accompanies very limited edition prints (1 to 30). The COA protects the security and genuineness of your limited edition print. Larges editions (31 and more) don't come with a certificate of authenticity.
The smaller print sizes are produced in larger editions and do not come with a Certificate Of authenticity to make them more widely accessible and more affordable. Photographs are available in different formats depending of the artist, small, medium or larger scale. The large-scale print size is normally produced in a very limited edition (1-30 prints) making them more valuable because of the limited number available and they also come with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.
The Print Atelier aims to achieve accuracy between the photographs you see online and your final print. However we cannot be responsible for minimal differences deriving from reproduction techniques that may exist between the presented image and the print. Computer screens may differ and the colour and contrasts of the image on the screen may not look exactly like what you receive. This is because different types of monitors are calibrated differently. Also, any prints with a soft focus or texture work (grain, spots, etc.) were created that way for artistic purposes.
No. Our prints are on standard paper sizes and we don't alter the image size and proportions to fit the paper. Each print has a minimum 0.5 inch white border.

Japan is a serie of images that were taken on a trip to Shirikawa-go, a remote village in the mountains of the Ono District, in the Gifu prefecture region. A sort of road trip between the isolated countryside and Tokyo. The serie consists of five images, created with digital files were shot with a 5D Mark II. The images are in color and black and white and there's no digital manipulation. The artist always enjoy trips; traveling to him doesn't equate necessarily going to far away places. He can travel two blocks away but he feels : "It's the movement that makes everything change. Change is the only law". In 2011, Hector Adiladid was invited by a dear friend to spend a month in her hometown Tokyo. He was totally blown away by the huge sense of tradition, order and refinement in Japanese culture and of its natural beauty.

"The tragedy of our day is the climate of fear in which we live and fear breeds repression. Too often, sinister threats to the Bill of Rights, to freedom of the mind are concealed under the patriotic cloak of anti-Communism." Today, it's the cloak of anti-terrorism. Stevenson also remarked, "It's far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them." - Adlai Stevenson's 'Nature of Patriotism' Speech, 1952

Easy DIY: Glitter Quotes on Canvas5:00 AM
Disclosure: Ace Hardware has provided free paint samples. I was also compensated for my time and this blog post. All opinions and positions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of Ace Hardware.
We moved into our house when I was 7 months pregnant and because of that and then having the baby, running a business and just life itself, it's been nearly impossible to finish decorating our place. It's always a work in progress. One room I love the most is my daughter's room. We made sure to finish it before she arrived and it's probably my favorite (and actually finished) room in the house. My daughter is 19 months old now so I decided to switch up a few decor pieces in her room. A lot of the stuffed animals that were just decor are now toys that she plays with every day so I've been changing and adding things. One thing that I really want to do is to add a different color to her room. We had painted it a really pretty gray that I still love but I wanted an accent wall or maybe even adding stripes.
The rest of the process is super easy, just paint the canvas, wait a few hours for paint to dry, paint another coat until you are happy with the coverage. Wait overnight as you want the paint to for sure be dry when you put the vinyl letters on. When paint is completely dry add the vinyl lettering as directed and voila!
For the glitter canvas, mix 1 parts ModPodge to approx 1-2 parts glitter (start with 1 to 1 and judge based on your mixture if you want to add more) paint the canvas, wait for it to dry and keep on adding coats. Because it's glitter you will not get an even coverage so I had to check corners and such for empty spaces and keep on adding more of the glitter/Mod Podge mixture. Let dry overnight and then apply the vinyl lettering as directed.
Here's how it looks on the wall!
Just a little accent for now but I do love it against the gray wall! Now I just have to plan some time to paint stripes on the empty wall in the room but I think it will look fabulous!
Going to The Paint Studio at Ace is like going to your neighbor.

Intake Center For Homeless To Be Closed
By SETH FAISON
Published: June 22, 1993
New York City's Human Resources Commissioner decided yesterday to close permanently a center in downtown Manhattan that places homeless people in shelters, three days after a caseworker was assaulted by a homeless woman there, administration officials said. But the move appeared to prompt a new crisis in the city's troublesome battle to shelter people who have nowhere to stay.
The center, at 78 Catherine Street, has been closed since Friday when staff members walked outafter the attack, saying that the center had become too dangerous and uncontrolled, in part because of over-crowding. With the Catherine Street center closed, the city started sending the families to another center in the Bronx, and last night about 100 families appeared at the door,, double the usual number. Yesterday's decision means that families will continue to be sent there, despite the overcrowded conditions.
"The Commissioner, after consulting with program staff and labor union people, decided that it will be closed permanently," said Sheila Jack, a spokeswoman for the Human Resources Administration, referring to Commissioner Barbara J. Sabol. Speeding Up Plan
Ms. Jack said the decision was in keeping with a plan by Mayor David N. Dinkins to gradually close all four of the city's Emergency Assistance Units, which were not intended to house people overnight but rather to find them shelter elsewhere, in favor of improved public housing. Although no firm schedule was set for the closings, Friday's attack and the subsequent walkout spurred the city to make a decision sooner than expected, Ms. Jack said.
"I don't want to say that it precipitated it," said Ms. Jack, referring to Friday's incident. "But it moved it along."
Ms. Jack said that to keep up the additional families, the city would keep the Bronx center on East 151st Street open for 24 hours instead of closing it at midnight, and would keep the Brooklyn center on Willoughby Street open until midnight instead of closing it in the early evening. Ruling Expected Today
Critics of the city's homeless policy say that its homeless-placement centers are dank, overcrowded and disorganized offices, where families often spend days sleeping on chairs and floors waiting for assignment to other centers. The city is appealing a contempt-of-court ruling by Judge Helen E. Freedman that ordered it to improve conditions in the centers. Judge Freedman threatened to force senior officials, including Mr. Dinkins, to stay overnight at a center if they did not comply.
In State Supreme Court yesterday, Judge Freedman asked city officials to report at 2 P.M. today on how conditions at the Bronx center were affected by the Catherine Street closing, said Kenneth Murphy, the deputy commissioner for crisis intervention services at the Human Resources Administration. Mr. Murphy said it was unlikely that Judge Freedman would order the city to reopen to the center on Catherine Street.
Steven Banks, coordinator of the Homeless Family Rights Project for the Legal Aid Society, which brought the lawsuit against the city's placement centers, said the decision to close Catherine Street "doesn't solve anything." Speaking by telephone from the Bronx center, Mr. Bankssaid: "Right now, the situation is a disaster. There are more than 100 families lined up here. There are infants lying in chairs, lying on the floor. The bungling downtown is causing pain uptown."
Edward Masonet, a homeless man at the Bronx center for his second night, added: "There's a lot of babies in there. It's not right. They've got newborns in there. There's no place to sit, even."
After the attack on Friday, in which a 23-year-old caseworker, Nicole Jenkins, was kicked in the face by a homeless woman, Angel Knight, and needed 20 stitches, the union representing the caseworkers, Local 371 of the Social Service Employees Union, renewed its demand that better security be provided before the caseworkers would return to work there.
At a meeting yesterday morning with representatives of the union, city officials promised that the workers would not have to return to Catherine Street and would be transferred to the Bronx and Brooklyn centers, said Linda Schleicher, assistant to the union's president, Charles S. Ensley.
"Our position was that Catherine Street is not a safe place for anybody -- homeless or staff worker," Ms. Schleicher said. "We couldn't have our people there any longer."

Chaz Bono Girlfriend
December 20, 2011 by staff
Chaz Bono Girlfriend, We were just celebrating Chaz Bono's engagement to girlfriend of more than six years, Jennifer Elia, in late-November. But, apparently, the wedding is off. "Thanks for your concern about our separation," Bono tweeted to fans about the news on Monday. "I'm doing fine, and we remain on good terms with nothing but respect and affection for each other."
The couple got engaged at the top of the Seattle Space Needle while cameras rolled on their OWN special, Being Chaz, which aired on Nov. 27.
"They leave this relationship with great love, respect and affection towards one another," the couple's publicist, Howard Bragman, tells People magazine. "No further amplification will be forthcoming and they ask that you respect their privacy at this time."
At press time, Elia had yet to address the breakup on Twitter. Though, she did thank a friend for offering to be there if she needed to talk about it.
Viewers got to know Elia on Bono's first OWN special, Becoming Chaz, which followed his transition from female to male. It aired in May of this year as the first offering from the network's OWN Documentary Club and attracted an average of 705,000 viewers. Being Chaz premiered to about 380,000 viewers.

Health and Fitness Secrets of a Nutritionist
Posted on 07 October 2015
- Tell us a little bit about yourself how did you become an exercise physiologist and nutritionist?
As a former Australian Sports Acrobatics champion at the age of 14, I've lived and breathed a sporty lifestyle since a very young age. My love for sport and fitness naturally lead me to me to study exercise and nutrition science at university.
- What is your active life mantra?
"Medicate with movement". In other words, find opportunities to move more.
- How do you balance food and exercise?
Ever since becoming a mother, I learnt very fast that with little ones in toe, even the best-laid plans can fail. Before kids I had a consistent fitness routine, with cardio, weights, and flexibility sessions spread throughout the week. But with disrupted sleep, play date schedules, and keeping the house in order, that all fell by the wayside! I had to learn quick smart that not only was 'extra' planning required, but a little creativity and prioritising allowed me to get into the groove of my fitness routine again.
As for food, it's a good thing that young kids thrive on schedules and routine, so I work around their meal times and prepare my meals at the same time.
- What does a usual workout look like for you?
Mornings are prime time for me while everyone is still a sleep. I live by the beach so a brisk walk (roughly 45 mins) along the coast is what I love the most – it's like a form of meditation for me! I also do pilates (reformers) 1- 2 times a week for flexibility, balance and strength training, and always find the 10-15 minutes to stretch at night before bed.
- Can you share a usual day on a plate?
Breakfast is usually sourdough toast with 2 poached eggs and avocado or ricotta and banana, or muesli with blueberries and natural yoghurt. I am pretty simple and admit to getting into a bit of a breakfast rut. I sometimes change things up and lash out on my blueberry pancakes made with almond meal or a side of bacon with my eggs.
Lunch – wrap with salad and grilled chicken, haloumi or fish, or quiona with legumes and roasted veg and seeds, or leftover dinner.
Snacks – always a piece of fruit, handful of mixed nuts, and natural yoghurt with more nuts like walnuts and drizzle honey.
Dinner – anything from curries, to stir-fries, to fish tacos to roast dinners like slow cook pork or beef with vegetables. I enjoy a sneaky spag bol with the kids.
- What is the best health and fitness advice you have ever received?
Do something you enjoy otherwise you won't stick to it.
- And the worst?
Exercise will transform fat into muscle. The fact is, muscle and fat are completely different things. Exercise will burn body fat and build lean muscle, but there is no direct conversion between the two – one does not become the other. When you start exercising, your muscle mass will increase, which will significantly increase your metabolism, burn more calories and burn fat faster.
- What are your top 5 tips for feeling more renewed, recharged and refreshed?
- Get sufficient sleep
- Never eat till you're full
- Water is the best thirst quencher
- Eat at regular times
- Find the time to move everyday!

After seeing Griffon Ramsey in action, I'm fascinated with chainsaw art.
Ramsey created a sculpture of Groot using a variety of chainsaws and Easter Red Cedar along with her skills and plenty of imagination.
Then she went and filmed the work in progress so we could all see Groot come to life.

Sonus Networks has introduced the Sonus SBC SWe, a software-based Session Border Controller (SBC) designed for a virtualized platform, offering unlimited scalability with the same advanced features and functionality of hardware-based systems. The new Sonus platform is designed to provide robust security, superior voice and video quality, centralized policy management and broad interoperability for Unified Communications (UC).
The SBC SWe features are equivalent to Sonus' hardware-based SBC 5000 Series, a carrier class platform. Scalable from as few as 25 to an unlimited number of sessions, Sonus SBC SWe customers can add performance and capacity by adding computing resources and memory. Sonus will provide customers with a set of performance specifications for customers' host platforms, and customers can then expand capacity, calls per second, features, transcoding, and security capabilities with a simple license key as business demands change.
Sonus is using same code base across its hardware and software SBC portfolio. For customers looking to leverage new and existing virtualized platforms to support other network functions, the SBC SWe can be deployed co-resident with other applications. This flexibility will be attractive to service providers and partners that have invested in virtualization technology—especially those who prefer pre-packaged "solutions in a box," require remote network deployments or want to expand opportunities into new geographic markets where deploying a hardware solution would be impractical or cost prohibitive.
For larger enterprise customers that might require a physical SBC, the Sonus SBC SWe can extend the same SBC capabilities to remote locations and branch offices without deploying more hardware at each location, increasing session counts with a license key to accommodate dynamic call volumes such as those in a contact center. According to Infonetics Research estimates, more than 60% of enterprise SBCs ship with 800 SIP sessions or less.
Irwin Lazar, VP and service director at Nemertes Research commented saying, "More than 67 percent of companies have virtualized Unified Communications applications to reduce costs, improve resiliency and enable more efficient utilization of server resources. The ability to run Unified Communications infrastructure on virtual servers is critical buying criteria."
David Tipping, VP and general manager, SBC Business at Sonus added, "Unlike most virtualized SBCs on the market today, with the Sonus SBC SWe, service providers and enterprises are not 'boxed in' by hardware and no longer have to compromise on features or functionality when moving to software. Put simply, the Sonus SBC SWe sets a new bar for what customers should expect in SBC performance."

While the Huskies have received plenty of attention for their men's and women's basketball programs, Fincher didn't mind trying to put them on the pro football map.
"Absolutely. The combine, yes, is an individual thing. But I'm here for a university to prove that Connecticut, we can play. A football player is a football player, and it doesn't matter what school you come from, whatever," he said at the combine. "If I had an Oklahoma helmet on, people would get excited, but it's the same thing. We're football players, we're all on the same page right now."
Just like Connecticut has to prove its football prowess to the personnel powers of the NFL, so Fincher had to prove himself at UConn.
He continued that process at his pro day, where he impressed Vikings defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell late last month.
"He'll go in the first day, in my opinion," Cottrell told reporters in attendance. "I think he can go in the second round."
Since the UConn season ended, Fincher's stock has risen sharply. He was once considered a late-round pick, but he's no longer a "sleeper" in draft parlance.
"Sleeper? Heck no," Cottrell said. "He woke up a lot of people down at the Senior Bowl. Alfred's not a sleeper, everyone knows that, and if they don't there's something wrong with them."
He started as a special-teams player his freshman season and worked his way up to earning All-Big East kudos in 2004. He led the Huskies with 140 tackles and was fifth in the nation with 11.91 per game. And his five forced fumbles last year were only one shy of the national defensive player of the year, Derrick Johnson's, total.
Fincher ended his collegiate career with 354 tackles and 33-1/2 tackles-for-loss, fifth and fourth, respectively, in the UConn history books.
His mission to prove himself as a star at the Division I level was a success. Now he's out to prove he can repeat his success at the NFL level.
His size is a question mark at 6-foot-1, 238 pounds — which may be a little light for middle linebacker. And his position is a question mark — he played almost exclusively at middle linebacker but may have to translate into an outside linebacker in the NFL, and he says he can play them both.
But his light weight, he says, shouldn't be an issue.
"No, you've just got to be able to run. The weight is not as big a thing. It's how you study and how you prepare yourself and just how aggressive you are, stuff like that," he said. But speed isn't his biggest asset, either. "I think my best asset is I'm a smart football player. That makes me faster."
His weight-lifting and agility numbers at the combine were average, but his speed proved to be better than average among the middle linebackers in attendance at the combine. He ran a 4.72 and 4.76 in the 40-yard dash, both slightly better than the 4.78 average among his peers.
With good speed and lighter weight, his pride is large. He's proud of his school, and he was proud of its first bowl game, the Motor City Bowl, during his tenure there.
"I took the ball — nobody's supposed to know that," he said of his bowl appearance. "But I got the game ball and also got some memorabilia from the game and got a bunch of the guys to sign it."
Fincher has flown under the radar much of his football career — he says Boston College and Syracuse showed an interest in him but didn't produce a scholarship offer — but the NFL bevy of scouts haven't gone without taking notice.
At the combine, he said received interest from the New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers.
He says the biggest challenge for him entering the NFL will be dealing with receivers in coverage. "I'm a better run-stopper — I'm a linebacker, that's what I'm supposed to do, stop the run," he said.
He did that with an impressive display of linebacker instincts at the his postseason workouts, showing he can cover tight ends and running backs out of the backfield and is adept at stopping the run. To get to that level, he has become a workout fiend.
Last season, a campus policeman was sent to the UConn stadium to check out a report of noise. What he found was Fincher and his close friend and workout partner, quarterback Dan Orlovsky, running the stadium steps.
"We like to work out. It was late. Nobody's up, and you know you're getting better than everybody else when everybody else
is sleeping," Fincher said. "It's something we like to do."
He hopes to keep climbing those steps as his career progresses into the professional level.

The Franco-Swiss driver was on course to score his team's first point of the season at the Shanghai circuit, before being forced to retire with a gearbox problem.
Nevertheless, Grosjean reckons Lotus has finally turned a corner with its troublesome E22 design.
"I think we were going to get a point in the end before the gearbox problem, but if you take the picture from the whole weekend it's 90 per cent positive," Grosjean told AUTOSPORT.
"Renault did a good job, Lotus did a good job and in the end there has been no revolution, just a small step in the right direction.
"We were the second Renault team [in China], in front of McLaren and Toro Rosso, and fighting with Force India, so that was positive."
Team owner Gerard Lopez said Grosjean would have been even more competitive in China but for a stalling issue with his car's diffuser.
"Romain had an issue with rear downforce stalling when we were aiming for P6 in qualifying, which is a bit more like it," Lopez told AUTOSPORT. "The car has the pace to be there.
"Before the gearbox issue he had the same stalling issues again in the race, so the car was difficult to drive, but I still think we could have done P9 or P10 even with that.
"When fourth gear failed there was no point taking any risk with the engine - we're already on a third engine with [team-mate] Pastor [Maldonado] - so it made sense to retire Romain.
"It's been a differently frustrating weekend in the sense that we've clearly seen for ourselves the pace is starting to be there, so not to score any points is frustrating."

The Earth's inner core is roughly 750 miles thick and it is primarily composed of iron. The iron in the Earth's core reaches temperatures as high as 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit, but remains a solid because of the intense surrounding pressure from Earth's outer layers. The ball-shaped concentration of iron that is the Earth's inner core is always moving, causing all of the planet to be magnetic.Continue Reading
The Earth's inner core is directly beneath the mantle, which is a layer that consists of semi-solid minerals and rocks and a sheet of hot magma.

Raw Lasagna (Zucchini and Tomato)
Recipe by Pam 5
Zucchini and Tomato lasagna perfect for the raw or vegan dieter. Recipe a variation of Matthew Kenney of Pure Food and Wine's Zucchini and Green Zebra-Tomatoes Recipe.
Top Review by Glori-B
Attention Italian Food Lovers! This dish is awesome! It is more work than "modern lasagna" (jarred sauce and no-cook noodles) because the sauce and "noodles" are made from scratch, but the results are fantastic! It practically brought tears to my eyes to see the last slice go! Here is what I did: For the ricotta: as written, but I used cashews 'cause I c/n find filberts. Tomato Sauce: as written, but I dehydrated my own tomatoes the day before, then re-hydrated them as directed. Next time I might increase onion and put a little Italian seasoning in sauce too. But it was very good as written. Pesto: I used 'my' pesto of spinach, basil, asparagus, lemon juice and garlic. Sliced the zukes with a veg peeler and the tomatoes were small so I sliced them with the food processor. Instead of just oregano and thyme, I used Italian seasoning. Lots of compliments and requests for the recipe! Thank you for posting, Pam #5.

Ingredients Nutrition
Lemon-Filbert Ricotta
- 2 cups raw filbert nuts, soaked in water for at least 1 hour
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (available in health food stores) (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Tomato Sauce
- 2 cups good-quality sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water for at least 2 hours (dry-packed)
- 1 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1⁄4 small onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 teaspoons raw honey
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 pinch hot pepper flakes
Basil-Pine Pesto
- 2 cups packed basil leaves
- 1⁄2 cup raw pine nuts
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
- 1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
- 3 medium zucchini, ends trimmed
- 3 medium under ripen tomatoes (any type)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
- basil leaves
Directions See How It's Made
- Lemon-Filbert "Ricotta".
- Place the filberts, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt in a food processor, and pulse a few times, until thoroughly combined. Gradually add 6 tablespoons water, and pulse until the texture becomes fluffy, like ricotta. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
- Tomato Sauce.
- Place all ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth.
- Basil-Pine Nut Pesto.
- Place all ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth.
- Lasagne.
- Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, shave zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices, then cut in half crosswise. Cut the tomatoes in half, and each half into thin slices. Line the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with two layers of zucchini slices. Brush the zucchini lightly with olive oil, spread 1/3 of the tomato sauce over it, and top with small dollops of "ricotta" and pesto, using 1/3 of each. Layer on 1/3 of the tomato slices, and sprinkle with 1/3 of the oregano and thyme. Add another double layer of zucchini and repeat twice more with the tomato sauce, pesto, ricotta, tomato slices, and herbs. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic and let sit at room temperature for a few hours. Garnish with basil.

Auto enthusiasts know that great value is built into each Volkswagen, and know that only the best replacement 411 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Volkswagen vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to fix your automobile. Obviously, you didn't buy your 411 unless you understood you would be getting dependability and trusted quality both rolled up into one vehicle. It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Alternator for your automobile.
There are some electrical parts that your engine just couldn't work properly without. Your Volkswagen 411 alternator has a pulley that spins as the crankshaft spins because they are both connected by a drive belt. Inside that alternator, an electromagnetic reaction takes place that generates a constant supply of current for your vehicle. The energy from your alternator continuously charges the battery, and at the same time distributes current to the vehicle's lighting systems, HVAC system, and more on your Volkswagen 411.
Bring your 411 back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Buying new Volkswagen parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 411 parts on the internet.

The Union School Board Monday night unanimously approved a "conservative" budget of $30.5 million for the 2014-15 fiscal year.
Superintendent Steve Bryant noted that the budget was designed "to continue to be fiscally conservative with a strong awareness of the financial uncertainty of ever-changing economic climate, as well as changes in the state and federal funding initiatives."
Adopted budgets have been conservative for the past several years to help increase financial stability.
The budget, which runs July 1 through June 30, reflects revenue projections of $30,567,609 which comes mainly from local sales taxes, state funding, county taxes and federal aid.
Total expenditures are projected at $33,395,336, which includes $1.2 million in bond issue monies.
District patrons passed a bond issue in April 2013 for major improvements and upgrades to buildings throughout the district. Some of that money is being carried over to complete the projects.
The budget does include minimal deficit spending, around $750,000, but the district has remained conservative enough over the past year to end the current year with about a 33.5 percent reserve fund balance.
"If we don't deficit spend, the fund balance continues to grow," Bryant noted, adding that the only reason for the reserve is for financial stability.
"If our cash flow stops, we can continue to operate for two to three months," he said, adding that the deficit may be minimized as the economic status of the state and community adjust to the changing economic structure at the local, state and federal levels.
Last year, a deficit was projected, but because of some revenues coming in higher than expected and expenditures being lower than expected, the district still ended with a balanced budget and no deficit spending.
Bryant is projecting reserves to be about 29 percent for the 2014-15 budget.
The state formula funding is projected to be $10.6 million compared to $10.3 million this fiscal year.
Bryant noted that the formula is still not fully funded.
Expenditures include a step increase and base salary increase for teachers and support staff, as well as about $750,000 in instructional-related technology. Bryant said he likely will have to add another bus route, but said he is still working on routes for the upcoming school year.
"We've already moved steps for all staff, which is approximately a 2 percent increase," Bryant said. "I'm going to propose $600 on the base on the teacher salary schedule and a 10 cent in addition to the step movement on the support staff schedule, which is approximately overall a 3 percent increase in salaries."
During the last fiscal year, the budget included an average 7.5 percent pay increase in teacher salaries, with a base pay raise of $2,500.
The budget message outlined four major goals, including student safety, student achievement, appropriate educational facilities and prioritized instructional improvement. Financial decisions will be centered on accomplishing the goals, the budget message said.
Enrollment Projections
Stable enrollment projections are anticipated for the coming year, with an estimated 3,060 students in the district.
Enrollment ranged from 3,002 students during the 2008-09 school year to 3,066 in the 2013-14 school year.
No major growth is anticipated.
Grade level projections for the district are as follows:
Kindergarten, 213; first grade, 230; second grade, 265; third grade, 252; fourth grade, 244; fifth grade, 244; sixth grade, 241; seventh grade, 255; eighth grade, 218; ninth grade, 218; 10th grade, 271; 11th grade, 216; and 12th grade, 183.
2013-14 Ending Balance
Bryant also reviewed budget amendments for the current fiscal year.
The fourth revision highlights a 29.7 percent balance in the general and special funds and a $638,130 deficit. The June estimated ending balance put the general and special funds balance at 33.5 percent and left the district with a $72,430 balance on the budget.
The district projected a 97 percent tax collection rate. This year, a total of 99.3 percent was collected, increasing the revenue about $400,000.
"It floors me how well Franklin County does in collecting taxes," Bryant said.
Prop C funds were higher than expected, as well as intangible taxes and earnings on investments. Additional teachers and a bus route also were budgeted but not needed, which accounts for some of the higher revenue.
The general fund has an estimated $8,926,913 balance.
Bryant noted that in the revision, money was only moved to the appropriate funds for bookkeeping purposes.

Gander firefighters getting FireFit for upcoming challenge
GANDER, NL – Catching his breath following an intense round of training, 15-year FireFit veteran Owen Whelan finds himself on the receiving end of some good natured ribbing.
Organizer Harry Clarke said they have seen more and more women interested in the sport over the years and currently about 85 per cent of their rowers are female.

The Labrador West regatta is now entering its 45th year and organizer Harry Clarke said it is still going strong.
"Registration is been open now for three weeks and we have 23 team signed which is 100 per cent improvement from last year at this time of the year," he said. "I've been around a long time, a lot of stuff happened but we are still surviving. There were a lot of other events start at around the same time but none of them have been running continuously, they've had breaks here and there. Is the longest running event in Labrador west, maybe all of Labrador."
Clarke said they get a good mix of new and old rowers, people who have been doing it for decades and people who just started. One thing they have noticed if that more and more woman are becoming involved in the sport.
"A good 85 per cent of our rowers are female," he said. "It's a very big shift, not only here but all over. Regattas from across the country are all experiencing the same thing. Most of them started high school programs to try to interest more people to come in, and are focussing now on males."
Clarke said they suspect in Lab West one of the reasons they're getting more women are because they use an Olympic style rowing technique, which is more technical, and women are more adaptable to the technique. We think in our case it is something to do with the Olympic style rowing, which has a much more technical aspect to it. The women are more adaptable to it, the technique.
Clarke has been involved in the regatta in one form or another for the entire 45 years it has been in existence. He started as a rower, became a coxswain and about 20 years ago took up the briefcase and became the organizer.
"It's a sport that I enjoy tremendously and I love it on the water, I've always been involved in the community a lot so it's a good fit for me," he said. "I just enjoy it, I love the interaction with the younger people, and I sort of figured that if I give it up it'll be a struggle for a lot of people to do what I do. I'm retired so I'm able to spend a lot of time there. For 20 years I put pretty well most of it together, with help from a lot of other people of course."
He said in the years he's been involved he's seen a number of changes, including moving the regatta twice. They started it in Duley Lake and then moved to Little Wabush Lake in Labrador City. In 1978, they moved to Jean Lake and have been there ever since.
The regatta is scheduled to take place on July 28.

While you should try to read a variety of reviews, you should ultimately try to form your own opinion. You know what your tastes are, which means you know whether or not World Of Warships is a good choice for you.
Reviews can provide you with a lot of helpful information, but they can't make up your mind for you. Reviews can help to guide you towards the right decision, but they can't tell you want the best decision is. Think about what you want out of a game, and decide whether or not World Of Warships will be able to offer that.

Animals are often curious by nature. So it's probably a decent idea to keep your window closed if there's, say, a giraffe around.
Love him or hate him, Tom Brady is a star. So, when one man got the chance to get his picture taken with the New England Patriots quarterback, he went for it.
That decision cost him his job.
Picking a name for a baby can be tough, so maybe this study will help.
The eternal war between felines and canines continues.
It can be very challenging for women to get their pre-pregnancy bodies back, so when it happens, it creates a stir.
Airports may be a frequent source of massive frustration—just ask anyone who had to travel cross-country this past week—but sometimes they provide us with moments that just melt your heart.
Realistically speaking, turkeys don't stand a chance this Thanksgiving. But that hasn't stopped these fowl-tempered (sorry) beasts from fighting back against their would-be devourers, us humans.
Taking care of a baby may take a lot of hard work, but fighting one is actually pretty easy.
As our stomachs prepare for Thursday's massive caloric intake, let's take a look at how a few of our animal pals do it.

KidsCo, the international children's television channel, today announced it has licensed a slate of new content from Nelvana, including Beyblade, Grossology, Rolie Polie Olie, Jacob Two-Two and Babar. The content acquired from Nelvana, which is owned by KidsCo joint-venture partner, Corus Entertainment, will form part of the channel's January 2013 schedule when the refreshed brand is debuted on-air.
Hendrik McDermott, Managing Director of KidsCo, comments: "2012 has been a year of content and dubbing investment for KidsCo, with our 2013 programming line-up looking stronger than ever. Working closely with our strategic shareholders, Corus Entertainment and NBCUniversal, we will be delivering a completely refreshed on-air look and much stronger content proposition from January 8. Our new Nelvana titles will mean that our valued affiliates can continue to deliver a compelling range of KidsCo's safe, feel-good and diverse content to audiences worldwide."
Beyond the recent Nelvana order, KidsCo recently acquired the rights to widely acclaimed My Place and animation Shelldon. It has also commissioned Matchbox Pictures to produce Zuzu and the Supernuffs, which will air in all KidsCo territories next year.
The acclaimed Japanese series Beyblade: V Force follows the adventures of Tyson, Max, Ray, Kai and Kenny who battle with highly powerful enchanted spinning tops to become world champions; it will air across Central and Eastern Europe.
Meanwhile, Grossology, the crime-solving adventure series – with cases too disgusting for adults – featuring fascinating science facts, vile villains and loads of gross-out humour, will launch in Australia, South Africa and Asia alongside classic favourites Rolie Polie Olie, Jacob Two-Two and Babar.

text: Why LTE-Advanced is benefiting businesses22 Jun 2016 12:52 PM Hybrid and 4G LTE networking solutions distributor Westbase Technology argues LTE-A provides faster speeds, more capacity and boosts IoT connectivity strategiesThe introduction of LTE-Advanced is a game changer today in the same way that standard LTE was when it first became available, according to Westbase Technology, the European hybrid and 4G LTE networking solutions distributor.The distributor noted that businesses today are already utilising 4G LTE to enable more than just mobile phone communications, with many also leveraging the benefits of cellular connectivity across their enterprise, mobility and Internet of Things connectivity strategies. But LTE-A can make significant improvements on conventional LTE. What is the difference between LTE-Advanced and standard LTE?LTE-Advanced (also known as 4.5G, 4G+ and CAT 6 LTE) first and foremost delivers faster speeds – in fact its download speed is three times faster than standard LTE (also known as CAT 3). In addition to this it offers increased capacity with additional bands.Together these improvements not only enhance the user experience of today's applications, but they also pave the way for new ones. With LTE-Advanced, users will be able to share more data-rich content with ease; from 4K photos and videos to futuristic applications such as virtual reality. The demand for LTE-A CAT 6"Users today are consuming more and more data, both in fixed locations and on-the-go," said Kelly Bell, marketing manager at Westbase Technology. "In mobility we're seeing in-vehicle LTE networking develop into a core application, essential to improved operational efficiencies and customer service."Meanwhile at fixed branch locations, we're seeing an increased need for failover and OOBM using LTE to reduce cost of downtime. These two examples, and many others, are all driving the need for faster speeds and bandwidth to deliver more data, more easily." CAT 6 vs. CAT 3Organisations are clearly already reaping the benefits of 4G LTE so some may ask, why is the move to LTE-Advanced so important? LTE-Advanced is bigger and better than standard LTE because it utilises:• Carrier aggregation, which increases bandwidth• Spectrum aggregation, which makes the best use of the available spectrum• Advanced MIMO, which leverages more antennas for increased spectral efficiency.The most important aspect here is carrier aggregation, according to Westbase. Conventional LTE networks send out data over two radio channels, but only the first actively works while the second is idle. On Advanced LTE networks though, both channels are utilised which increases both its speed and capacity. "This is important to businesses because it enables more advanced applications to be run over cellular, while also improving the efficiency of existing applications and increasing network capacity – which benefits everyone," added Bell. "LTE-Advanced CAT 6 is, simply put, the most capable cellular connectivity solution available today, which will enable businesses to do even more over 4G LTE than they already can." LTE-Advanced networks are already widely available, with 116 commercially launched systems in 57 countries. Leading manufacturers in the wide area wireless market, such as Cradlepoint and Sierra Wireless are also already breaking ground in this space.Both have recently released LTE-Advanced networking solutions, and Cradlepoint was in fact the first to market with an LTE-Advanced routing platform for enterprises – meaning LTE-Advanced is not a thing of the future, it is for today's businesses.

|Re: jk_lb_worker.c patch
|Sat, 04 May 2002 20:40:23 GMT
Hi, I included the thread that started via email so the list can follow on. The setup I use is the following, a load balancer (Alteon) is in front of several Apache servers, each hosted on a machine which also hosts a Tomcat. Let's call those Apache servers A1, A2 and A3 and the associated Tomcat servers T1, T2 and T3. I have been using Paul's patch which I modified so the lb_value field of fault tolerant workers would not be changed to a value other than INF. The basic setup is that Ai can talk to all Tj, but for requests not associated with a session, Ti will be used unless it is unavailable. Sessions belonging to Tk will be correctly routed. The load balancing worker definition is different for all three Ai, the lbfactor is set to 0 for workers connecting to Tk for all k != i and set to 1.0 for the worker connecting to Ti. This setup allows to have sticky sessions independently of the Apache handling the request, which is a good thing since the Alteon cannot extract the ';jsessionid=.....' part from the URL in a way which allows the dispatching of the requests to the proper Ai (the cookie is dealed with correctly though). This works perfectly except when we roll out a new release of our webapps. In this case it would be ideal to be able to make the load balancer ignore one Apache server, deploy the new version of the webapp on this server, and switch this server back on and the other two off so the service interruption would be as short as possible for the customers. The immediate idea, if Ai/Ti is to be the first server to have the new webapp, is to stop Ti so Ai will not be selected by the load balancer. This does not work, indeed with Paul's patch Ti is the preferred server BUT if Ti fails then another Tk will be selected by Ai, therefore the load balancer will never declare Ai failed (even though we managed to make it behave like this by specifying a test URL which includes a jvmroute to Ti, but this uses lots of slb groups on the alteon) and it will continue to send requests to it. Bernd's patch allows Ai to reject requests if Ti is stopped, the load balancer will therefore quickly declare Ai inactive and will stop send it requests, thus allowing to roll out the new webapp very easily, just set up the new webapp, restart Ti, restart Ai, and as soon as the load balancer sees Ai, shut down the other two Ak, the current sessions will still be routed to the old webapp, and the new sessions will see the new version. When there are no more sessions on the old version, shut down Tk (k != i) and deploy the new webapp. My remark concerning the possible selection of recovering workers prior to the local worker (one with lb_value set to 0) deals with the load balancer not being able in this case to declare Ai inactive. I hope I have been clear enough, and that everybody got the point, if not I'd be glad to explain more thoroughly. Mathias.

text: .....let's keep it funky, there is no reason Tony Romo should let Josh freaking McCown beat him tomorrow. if you want Romo to be more widely respected around the league and by the media, he needs to will his team to victory tomorrow, NO MATTER the adversities presented to him. This is Josh McCown we are talking about folks, a lifelong journey man QB. We did not give Tony Romo a $108 million dollar deal to lose a critical game in December to a Josh McCown led team. I already know the manufactured responses are coming about this being a team game and its not fair to put that type of pressure on Romo...I'm sorry, when you invest 20% of your cap on a single player, I think its fair that I expect Romo to outduel McCown at all costs. Especially when the other team has a bad defense similar to ours. ELITE qbs do not lose to a Josh McCown led team, Romo needs to lead us to victory tomorrow, flame away.

SLUMBER: Circus With A Brutal, Bloody Twist
Written by
Staff Writers
Friday, 17 February 2017 15:14
Published in
Tagged under
Adelaide Fringe
Set in a nightclub and underscored by electro-pop music, 'SLUMBER' by Hideaway Circus follows a girl squad of elite circus performers on the last night of their lives.
Josh and Lyndsay from Hideaway Circus spill their guts about what to expect.
First of all, what is this show all about?
'SLUMBER' is about a group of girlfriends who go out to the nightclub when one of them goes a little crazy and starts killing all her besties. The show features hard-hitting hip hop dance choreographed by Keone and Mari Madrid, circus acts from all over the world, and hilarious comedy from our lovely and slightly unhinged serial killer. It is a hybrid of a lot different genres: a slasher-circus meets dance piece with a storyline dripping with blood.
The tagline for the show is 'Circus. Dance. Blood.'… Where did this come from? Will we see real blood live on stage?!
There is a lot of fake stage blood from three different murders – the front row often gets a little blood splatter. The tag line came from us trying to brainstorm the clearest way to describe the show in a short sentence. If you like circus or dance or shows with blood effects, then 'SLUMBER' will be right up your alley.
How did you come up with the idea of a 'who lives and who dies' type show?
We were inspired by many of the immersive shows happening in New York City (where we live) and we had been interested in exploring the idea of the audience participation in the storyline. Lyndsay and I played around with various different endings but realised during the creation that it would be way more fun and interactive if we let the audience decide who gets to live and die. It helps to keeps the show fresh and alive each and every performance.
Have you ever seen another circus performance with a similar premise?
No! We've never seen a circus show play with the themes of real danger in circus performance with theatrical danger. It's a really fun combination of themes that complement one another in surprising and compelling ways. 'SLUMBER' is premiering in Australia at Adelaide Fringe.

What makes this festival a good place to show Aussies this performance for the first time?
We really wanted to introduce 'SLUMBER' in the Adelaide Fringe for a few reasons. We thought the combination of performance styles in 'SLUMBER' would be enjoyed by a fringe audience who come to see new and multi-disciplinary work. We also knew that the Fringe was a popular festival for new circus work, and has a strong culture of embracing weird and wonderful shows. When one of our cast members, Joren Dawson, introduced us to the Royal Croquet Club team we knew immediately that we had to make it happen.
Have you been to Australia before?
Lyndsay has been before, but I (Josh) haven't. We're both super excited to spend six weeks in Adelaide seeing shows and travelling around the country after. I want to make sure we hit up all the best tourist destinations, so send us your recommendations for things to do and see!
What are you looking forward to about this trip Down Under?
The weather and the art! Right now we're in the middle of a gross, cold, rainy New York winter so we're more than ready for some sunny summer weather. We're both so excited to see lots of amazing shows playing at the Fringe. Thankfully, since we have later show times we'll be able to catch a lot of fantastic performances including 'Gravity and Other Myths', 'Filament', and 'Briefs' which have been on our to-see-bucket-list for a while.
You two founded the company two years ago after you meet at graduate school. What was the process in coming up with Hideaway Circus?
We both had life-long passions for circus and show-business, and after meeting (and falling in love) we knew that we wanted to start a new contemporary American circus company. Thankfully we found a few mentors through Columbia University who guided us through setting up a company and getting it off the ground. We launched with our weekly interview podcast featuring long form conversations with circus artists and entrepreneurs, followed by the New York premiere of 'SLUMBER' this past fall. Now we're also working on a virtual reality circus project as well as another new live production called 'Party Starters'.
Where does both of your passions for the art of circus, dance and theatre come from?
My passion for circus started at age ten after seeing a performance of Cirque Du Soleil near my home town. I've been pursuing circus since; as a teenager I performed with Circus Smirkus, and continued to perform while studying in university in New York City. Quickly I realised I was more passionate about directing and producing than performing, and began switching over to that side of the business. Prior to starting Hideaway Circus I had done casting for circus shows in New York, Las Vegas, and London. Lyndsay's passion for theatre also began in her childhood producing and directing productions of 'Beauty And The Beast' with her neighbours in the her backyard. She pursued performance and producing at a university in Florida and then moved to New York City and worked for various Broadway theatre producers and off-Broadway theatre companies, including Atlantic Theatre Company and Soho Rep.
What's next for Hideaway Circus?
We've got lots coming up! 'SLUMBER' is headed out on tour this year, we have a new virtual reality circus show we're creating this Spring, and we're opening a new comedy show called 'Party Starters' in the fall.
'SLUMBER' plays The Menagerie at Royal Croquet Club from 16 February-19 March.

Correspondence of Christopher Gore Callender and his mother, Maria Smith Callender of New York. Christopher's two letters to his mother describe the voyage and wreck of his vessel in 1846, and Holy Week celebrations in Trujillo, Honduras. The rest of the letters, from James Stanislaus Bell, Frederick A. Bell, and others, concern Christopher's death in Bluefields, Nicaragua in June, 1846. Also included is a letter from Captain Marcus A. Reno of the First U.S. Cavalry informing the mother of Lieut. Frederick Callender Ogden of her son's death at Trevilian Station, Va. in the Battle of the Wilderness, June, 1864.

Sabatier knives have been the choice of professional chefs and keen home cooks for decades. This Sabatier Trompette paring knife from Richardson Sheffield guarantees high performance and exceptional quality.
Traditionally designed with a full tang riveted construction handle for greater strength and durability, the fine precision taper ground blade is made from martensitic stainless steel and the oversize rivets all give the knives that extra special design touch and sharp operation.
Please note we are unable to sell knives to anyone under 18 years old.
