An Unfortunate Dust-up
|Ministry Of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations
After several weeks of hot July weather, Ned had a problem blanketing his farm. Dust from an adjacent provincial forest service road was choking his produce and aggravating his farm animals.
Ned called the ministry to complain about the dust and was referred to the forestry company responsible for maintaining the road. When Ned called the company he was told dust suppression was not one of their maintenance responsibilities. Ned called us.
When we contacted the ministry, they agreed to review Ned's complaint and work with the company to find a reasonable solution. As a result of our intervention, the ministry arranged dust control with the company and provided Ned with a ministry staff contact whom he could contact in the future, if necessary. Ned was pleased to have his problem addressed.

Proposed oil waste landfill near Dodge is shelved
DODGE (AP) -- A Bismarck company withdrew its permit application to build an oil field waste landfill near Dodge after residents complained about the possible negative impact on the community.
Waste Solutions LLP withdrew its application to Dunn County's Planning and Zoning Board on Monday, but didn't list a reason.
A group of residents in the county had objected to the plan, citing concerns over potential environmental problems and an increase in traffic. The company had said the facility to store solid oil field waste in an open, lined pit about two miles south of Dodge would fill a regional need and create about 10 jobs, boosting the economy. The state Health Department had given initial approval to the project.
Company Chairman Dave Barth said that media reports about the project were negative and contributed to it being derailed.
Barth, who operates a landfill north of Bismarck, said he was "disgusted" by how the situation with the proposed Dodge facility played out.
"Good operated landfills are good for a community," he said.
Waste Solutions can resubmit its permit application, according to Dunn County Planning and Zoning Administrator Sandy Rohde.
Rural Dodge resident Nancy Evans said she was disappointed that the Planning and Zoning Board did not get the opportunity to address Waste Solution's application.
"I would like to have this over and done with and (us) win," she said.

Have an opinion?
Don't do it.
Ehh not a fan. Looks too fake. If you can make it look somehow natural you're good.
I like it. Would be awesome to see it on a prettier girl.
Please don't do that :)
I dunno. I think she just just repulses me so I'm like eh. Though my friend did do the same thing two years ago and it looked pretty sweet. Try it out :)
i think it looks god awful
i think it would look better if the brown hair was lighter because the blond is so bright blonde
I'm not a fan of it. =\
@update: good. =)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/12/2010 (2452 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The wrecking ball will replace chicken balls at the Shanghai Restaurant building if city council allows the Chinatown structure to be demolished to make way for a housing complex.
The owners of the King Street property want to wind down their business -- one of Winnipeg's oldest and best-known restaurants -- and sell the 128-year-old structure to the Chinatown Development Corp., according to a city property report published on Thursday.
The corporation originally wanted to demolish the property and operate a surface parking lot on the site while developing a plan for a housing complex, according to the report.
However, the city stepped in and made it clear no demolition will be permitted until a firm redevelopment plan is developed and a building permit has been taken out, said Deepak Joshi, director of city planning.
"In the meantime, they won't be allowed to demolish," Joshi said. "But if they know they can get a development permit, they can put together a business plan and raise some money."
Built in 1882, the year after Winnipeg's first real-estate boom, what was originally known as the Robert Block was one of the Exchange District's first mixed-use buildings, housing commercial spaces on the main floor and offices and suites upstairs.
Winnipeg's mayor and city council occupied the main floor from 1883 to 1886, when the first city hall was under construction. Shanghai Restaurant was established on the main floor in the 1940s and still sports some of its vintage decor.
The stone and brick building was rated a Grade III heritage structure -- the lowest form of heritage status -- by the city's historical buildings committee following an assessment in December 2009.
The committee wants to place the Shanghai on the Buildings Conservation List and protect it from demolition, noting it fills an entire block of King Street from Pacific Avenue to Alexander Avenue.
However, city property managers recommend council ignore that suggestion because the building's "long-term economic viability is questionable," according to a report that comes before council's property and development committee on Monday.
"I don't think there's much hope for the current structure," said North Kildonan Coun. Jeff Browaty, the committee's chairman, who supports the idea of allowing demolition if the Chinatown Development Corp. has a firm plan to create housing on the site.
"I personally have fond memories of having my first Chinese food at the Shanghai and one of my last memories of (late Charleswood councillor) Bill Clement was eating there. It's a neat piece of our history," Browaty said.
"But the Chinese community says this is what they want and what they need to do for this part of Chinatown. And what they want is having more people living downtown, which is one of our key objectives."
Heritage Winnipeg opposes the demolition and said the city should insist on some form of adaptive reuse of the Shanghai building.
"They shouldn't be going that far. Have they looked at other options for that building?" executive director Cindy Tugwell asked. "They do this all the time. Now we have to come down there and fight it."
The Shanghai Restaurant's manager declined to comment on Thursday evening.

Blacks On Blondes Andy San Dimas
Brunette hottie Andy is hungry for some barbecue, unfortunately the BBQ joint in the hood isn't open on Sunday. She finds this out from two mega-hung black guys that see her at the locked and gated door. They use some cheesey pickup lines about feeding her, and she goes back with them and discovers that what they have for her to eat is two of the longest black dicks she ever laid eyes on. Although the food metaphors get a little heavy here, the action is blistering as Andy is one of those BCS types that gets batshit crazed with lust in the presence of such imposing meatsticks! Whether it's face-fucking or getting her tight little snatch stretched almost to the point of tearing, she's down with it! After they turn her into a puddle of cooz drippings, they give her the promised dessert. Andy gladly stretches her mouth open wide to give them a better target to spew their ghetto slop into!

The new Sony Z1000 has a 4.3 inch LCD display which is capable of offering a 480 X 800 pixel resolution. The new device has a much interesting fact that it' runs on an Android 2.3 Ginger bread operating system platform. The device is very fluid to work on with, which is actually the effort that's put forward by its Nvidia Tegra 2 Mobile dual core CPU which is really an efficient one. The S- Master MIX sound processing according to the company is expected to enhance the audio and give the user newer levels of audio experience. It even enables digital noise cancellation. The user will have several options when it comes in choosing the memory capacity of the device like it is with an Apple iPod Touch. The device comes with a 16 GB, 32 GB, and a 64 GB internal memory support.
The W button in the Sony Z1000 player will take the user directly to the walkman in the player on pressing it. The device is not just any regular music player. With its connectivity options loaded within the phone, the user will be able to access online music sites over Internet. The device is strong enough for multitasking and is even capable of streaming high definition videos and facilitates video games in it.
The Sony Z1000 device is enabled with a DLNA for wireless connectivity with other external and similarly enabled TV, speakers and much more .A HDMI port is also provided for wired connections to devices that lacks a DLNA feature.
The price in India details for the players are out. Sony Z1000 sporting a 16 GB memory will have a price tag of RS 17,500 in India. Mean while the one with 32 GB is priced at RS 20,500 and finally the 64 GB Sony Z1000 is available at RS 25,900.

About: King's Mill Hospital King's Mill Hospital Sutton-In-Ashfield NG17 4JL
Posted by barry steel
Anything else?
I was given a cancellation appointment in September this year for an operation on my shoulder I was assured as a diabetic I would be early in the list however on the day I sat in a cold ward waiting for over 5 hours and still no operation staff only spoke if I spoke to them and constantly reassured me I was next . I had been told not to eat or take my diabetic medication by the hospital. By lunchtime I was hungry and feeling unwell and still no sign of my operation, I discharged myself and lodged a formal complaint. It took 8 weeks for a response to be told there was no case to answer. The consultant said he had offered me a second appointment where I was to be first that was a lie. The chief executive told me to stop mailing and as far as the hospital was concerned they had behaved appropriately, and I should go back to my GP and be referred into a different hospital. I have spoken to several people who all state they have had very poor service at Kings Mill Hospital.

Tap water is safe to drink in all major cities. The Hospital Britanico (British Hospital), SUMMUM and BlueCross & BlueShield Uruguay have an European-quality service and they are clean and efficient. Asociación Española, Medica Uruguaya and CASMU are the largest healthcare companies in Uruguay and they have a European-quality level. Just don't make any unwise drinking decisions.
Historically, Uruguay has enjoyed a very low rate of violent crime compared to its neighbors, with the stress on the word violent. Thus, Argentines and Brazilians traditionally go on vacation in Uruguay (even though Rio de Janeiro has far more beautiful natural scenery) because they love not having to worry about being carjacked, kidnapped, or murdered while on vacation. Even today, Uruguay is still relatively free of those types of crimes.
However, this does not mean that Uruguay is crime free. The major differences are that most Uruguayan crimes are either nonconfrontational or do not involve the gratuitous use of firearms. Montevideo in particular has seen its crime rate gradually rise since the severe 2001-2002 financial crisis, and now has moderately high levels of theft, burglary, and robbery similar to those found in major U.S. cities. Fortunately, Punta del Este and most rural areas continue to enjoy relatively low crime levels. As long as you take basic precautions in Montevideo (i.e., use a money belt and/or hotel safe for valuables, look alert, and keep out of obvious slums), you will have a very safe trip.
In an emergency, call 911 or 999. For firefighters, call, 104.
Warning: If you are accused, however falsely, of a crime you did not commit, do not expect a "habeas corpus" from the Uruguayan Justice Department. According to them, you are guilty until proven to be innocent. Your citizenship will not help. This means incarceration for months, even years, until the case is brought to court. Their prisons are rated among the worst in regards of any respect for human rights. "Human rights are 'systematically violated' in Uruguayan prisons due to the degrading conditions and overcrowding in which the inmates live, according to a recent report published by the United Nations. Despite being one of the countries in the region with the lowest crime rates, Uruguay has one of the highest rates in the world of people behind bars, according to United Nations figures".

Important considerations to expect before choosing a piano music teacher
Signing up for music lessons alone is not enough, you have to attend lessons, commit to practice and also regularly pay fees. Piano lessons are different as they involve a relationship for a long term, especially depending on the interest and individual needs of the student. The lessons comprise development of listening skills, physical skills, reading, organizing, story-telling, writing, planning and performance skills. Thus, choosing a teacher is not simple as picking a toothpaste brand nor is it like getting a new pair of shoes. However, here are some important considerations to choose a teacher and to know that you expect.
Qualification and Education: Some teachers may have spent many years at a university level in studying music and may have acquired multiple diplomas and degrees in performance, music theory, piano teaching, composition and musicology. On the other hand, some teachers may never have taken any diploma, degree, not even a piano exam.
Performance experience: There may be teachers having concert giving experience and this includes having the highest profile in piano competitions in the world. They perform concertos in leading orchestras, while others experience is as collaborative pianists. Their experience may be as providing background music in shops or restaurants, playing for religious events or at the church services or being a band keyboardist. In fact, there may be piano teachers who never performed in any scenario.
Teaching Experience: The teaching may range from hundreds to over fifty thousand piano lessons being taught to students by some teachers, while some may have taught only twenty lessons to two or three students.
Local Cost of Living and Geography: Big cities piano lessons are expensive same as with any real estate. Fees charged are based on the fact that the teachers and their families survive in the same local economy.
Demographics: If there are demographically a lot of children willing to take piano lessons in the neighborhood, it may have an impact on the fees and demand for lessons.
Business Cross-subsidization: Many piano teachers now calculate their fees and do not consider the cost of delivering lessons. The lessons price must cover their service is their requirement and these costs are covered depending on the family budget than the results. Thus it affects the costs.
Teachers do not raise fees in a single year too much, so the fees charged by a teacher often is largely determined by that they have done the earlier year, such as + 2-3%, or may be + $1, or there may be no increase. On the other hand, if a teacher fails to raise fees for a long time they may realize they need a big jump to stay operational.
Word of Mouth/Reputation: Teachers are mostly recommended by others, by families, friends and neighborhoods. Busy teachers raise their fees that their own prospective students may feel the pressure. On the other hand, the struggling teachers trying to attract students keep their fees steady and much lower than the busy lots, aiming to have regular students and fees coming in.
You can even get a good Pianist for hire at Music classes Sydney.

Buddie can go on a temporary trial adoption with anyone interested in giving this darling a chance at a forever home. You can take him with no commitment to adopt; trial only. Then if you elect to adopt him, you will have the ability to do so~ We cant make it any easier than that :)

Sioux Falls Lincoln Patriots Dominate State Tennis Tournament for Fourth Consecutive Year
The Lincoln Patriots didn't just win another state tennis championship. They just about swept the entire tournament.
The Lincoln Patriots didn't just win another state tennis championship. They just about swept the entire tournament.
It did not end in the way that Lincoln senior Anna Brecht envisioned, but her high school basketball career is one to remember.
Most of the Sioux Falls schools have reached the halfway point of their basketball schedules. Here's a look at where they rank.
It was expected that Anna Brecht would break Lincoln's 31 year scoring record, but the rate that it happened was astonishing.
The Lincoln Patriots have a brand new head coach and it's a guy that has been around the Sioux Falls area for many years.
The Lincoln Patriots have released Aaron Beavers as head coach and have hired Brian Bechard to take over.
Thursday night marked the final night of the regular season. We now have the Class 11AAA playoffs set.
It will be a busy night of high school football around the area, but the biggest game of the night will be at Howard Wood Field.
The Lincoln Patriots left Howard Wood Field last Saturday in a much different manner after a 49-7 loss to Roosevelt. Now they're looking to bounce back against Brookings.
The Washington Warriors opened the season against Brandon Valley with a convincing 31-7 win. Now the team prepares for a battle with Sioux Falls Lincoln.

Thank you, Jetpens, for the opportunity to try these pens out and share the results with my readers.

Tip Replaceable: No
Cartridge Replaceable: Yes
Look & FeelThe Pilot New Brush pen has a long body. I have small hands and worried that it might be too long, and thought I'd have to use it uncapped. To my surprise, it's so light that the length wasn't an issue. I've been dealing with a sore wrist, but found this pen caused little strain. That doesn't mean it is easy to use--brush pens aren't unless you are used to brushes. But I'll discuss that later.
The pen also has a soft body. As in squeezable. I doubt it will be easy to break, but I'd carry it in a bag or wrapped in paper towels in case something heavy was set on it so that ink spurted.
All the writing on the package is in Japanese, so it took me a few minutes to realize it, but you need to remove the white ring on the pen to engage the ink cartridge. Then you squeeze the body to start the ink flow. Fortunately, there is an 'F' in the identification number for the fine point pen and an 'M' for the medium point. Eventually, I got where I remembered that the green labeled pen was fine and the orange was medium.
The brush tip is white to begin with, and you squeeze until it is black. For the most part, the ink will continue to flow as you write or draw, but if your strokes are too fast, you may need to squeeze lightly to get more ink. You can use this to advantage if you want a broken look or dry brush feel to your lines.
There isn't too much difference between the fine and medium points. I did find it easier to write with the fine, and I had to be more careful with the medium if I wanted fine lines. Having both sizes extends the variety of line so that's nice. If you can only afford to buy one, consider whether you prefer a bolder line or finer line and choose accordingly.
I mentioned above that this brush pen wasn't easy to use. Please don't let that scare you. In western culture, we're used to writing with pens, and brushes require a slightly different skill set. If you've painted or done calligraphy, a brush pen will be easier for you to use.
It isn't a difficult skill, just one that takes a little practice. You have to learn how to get the line width you want consistently--what pressure to use and at what angle to hold the pen. For the purposes of this review, I held the pen as though it were a ballpoint, but you have more options with a brush pen, and can get even more effects by holding it like a paint brush.
The good news is that it's fun. I spend an hour or so, just making marks, doodling strange little animals, pushing and plopping and flipping the pen around. I enjoy marveling at the flow and what different effects I can get from these pens versus the normal pen.
So how does this pen hold up to other brush pens I've used? I'm going to make my comparison between this pen and other 'synthetic' brush pens. Natural hair brush pens are a whole different animal, in my experience.
The New Brush didn't stand out as the best, but it was comparable to other good brush pens I've had. The hardest thing for me with a brush pen is avoiding the spiky lines you get from the very tip. I found it easier to control but that may be partially that I've had more practice now.
One of the claims of the pen is that the synthetic hairs will hold up longer. I can't tell that for sure in the time I've had the pens. But in past brush pens, the hairs started to spread and the spiky lines became more prevalent. I'm hoping the fact that I have less spikiness now is a good sign.
The ink in the pen is not water-proof, but the lines tend to blur slightly rather than smear when they get wet. Don't get me wrong--they will smear if you use enough water. But you can spread the ink quite a bit without losing your lines.
Writing is more difficult for me than drawing, and always has been. It is no different with the New Brush pen.
It didn't take me long before I could write legibly, but it would be a while before I could get the beautiful flowing lines that I know are possible. I know others would find the exact opposite.
My first full drawing was done in a dot-grid journal, so I could concentrate on how I was drawing my lines versus keeping them straight. This was a smooth, fountain-pen friendly paper, and perfect for the pen.
Drying time was a little slower with this paper, but I could still run my finger across a line without smearing it within a 30-40 seconds.
For this piece, I worried more about control than variety. I attempted to get the lines I wanted consistently.
I wanted to see how the ink would do on a slicker paper so I chose a piece of scrapbook paper with a light, neutral colored stripe design. The ink did well, with only a slight lag in the drying time.
For this drawing, I loosened up, playing more with variety rather than control. At least I tried to--it's hard to let go!
I decided to up the ante a bit. I had painted an acrylic background in one of my art journals. Acrylic dries to a slick surface, but some of the paint was metallic, and very slick. I half expected the ink to bead up and refuse to soak in.
It did soak in, but the drying time was extended considerably. As in days. The ink actually dried to a tacky consistency within a minute or so. You could touch it lightly without disturbing it, but if you rested your hand on it, you'd get ink on your hand. It didn't smear easily, but it would smear. At this point, two days later, if I rub hard, I can still get a very faint residue. I don't know if it will ever cure beyond this.
It's harder to clog a brush pen, so this might be an option for drawing on surfaces that are otherwise difficult to draw on. However, you wouldn't want to handle the finished piece often. It would probably be best to use some kind of fixative, or to put it behind glass or plastic
Note, that on parts of this painting, I added a thin layer of paint over the ink. You can see where the lines seem faded and gray. I then added areas of more paint or ink, getting a very 3D look. I also got a holographic effect in one area, where the dots seem to move when you move the page in the light.
As I said earlier, the ink is not water-proof. That can be used to advantage for shading or coloring.
The ink moves well without becoming drippy, but you can't lift it away very well. This limits your effects, but makes it nice for quick sketches.
OverallThe Pilot New Brush pen would be a nice choice for sketching while you travel. It's light, gives you a variety of line widths, and allows you to shade if you have a waterbrush as well. It's a solid entry into the world of brush pens. I wouldn't rush to replace a brush pen you already like, but if you need something new or are just starting with them, this is a good value for the price.

You may be thinking that the Sigma 800mm f/5.6 EX DG HSM weighs a ton but at less than 5kg, it's actually quite reasonable. That may still sound ridiculous, but this lens is not designed to be handheld. It's not only the weight but the focal length that makes this lens cumbersome.
SIGMA really needs to stop raising the price of this lens and add it's Optical Image Stabilization "O.S."I owned this lens for two years early in it's production run. I shot it mated to then new EOS 1D MkII (which gives you an idea of when I had it)New versions have come out and the price keeps...
Consistent Output, Durable, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Rugged, Strong Construction
Heavy, No Image Stabilization, Poor in Low Light
I gave a lot of thought to purchasing this lens to photograph birds. I've yet to get the beautiful kind of shots I expected from it. Mostly it is quite difficult to get in a position to use the lens to its best advantage and full capacity.
I was looking at this lens for about 1 year and finally got it. I always test the sharpness of the lens and this lens at 800mm is sharp. It is heavy, but if you have a good heavy tripod, you will get some great sharp images. A great lens but not a carry around type lens.
Excellent optically and gives unparalleled reach and ability to frame shots. Heavy and demands care in handling. Before purchase I tried 600mm f4 and could detect little difference in quality. The flexibility of the zoom made the decision on purchase easy.
Extreme reach, Sharp, Brilliant rotating filter system
Heavy (but this is unavoidable) Finish is good but not great. Attracts lots of attention. Case provided is OK for storage but not for carrying. I have a Lowepro Super Trekker which will carry this and a range of other kit.

Friday Finds is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading where you share the book titles you discovered or heard about during the past week. These can be books you were told about, books you discovered while browsing blogs/bookstores (physical or online), or books that you actually purchased. I think this is a great idea and a way to share my enthusiasm of discovering new books.
This week I stumbled across the new Jack Taylor book by Ken Bruen due out mid next year and a new book by the awesome Ray Banks (of which Blasted Heath were kind enough to provide a copy for review). Keeping with my diverse taste in fiction, Apex Books provided a sci-fi book for review which looks a lot of fun too.
ANGELS OF THE NORTH by Ray Banks (due to be published 4 Dec 2014)
Thatcher's Britain. A boom time for entrepreneurs, patriots ... and vigilantes.
Gateshead's notorious Derwent Hall estate. Crippled by unemployment, awash with drugs, and a no-go area for police and politicians alike.
Three men – a taxi driver with political aspirations, a soldier with black dreams, and the jobless victim of a brutal attack – come together to rid their estate of crime. But when conscience collides with ambition, it's not long before the streets turn bloody and their community burns.
GREEN HELL by Ken Bruen (due to be published 7 July 2015)
In the previous book in the series, Purgatory, ex-cop Jack Taylor had finally turned his life around, only to be taunted back into fighting Galway's corruption by a twisted serial killer named C33. In the new novel Green Hell, Bruen's dark angel of a protagonist has again hit rock bottom: one of his best friends is dead, the other has stopped speaking to him; he has given up battling his addiction to alcohol and pills; and his firing from the Irish national police, the Guards, is ancient history. But Jack isn't about to embark on a self-improvement plan. Instead, he has taken up a vigilante case against a respected professor of literature at the University of Galway who has a violent habit his friends in high places are only too happy to ignore. And when Jack rescues a preppy American student on a Rhodes Scholarship from a couple of kid thugs, he also unexpectedly gains a new sidekick, who abandons his thesis on Beckett to write a biography of Galway's most magnetic rogue.
Between pub crawls and violent outbursts, Jack's vengeful plot against the professor soon spirals toward chaos. Enter Emerald, an edgy young Goth who could either be the answer to Jack's problems, or the last ripped stitch in his undoing. Ireland may be known as a "green Eden," but in Jack Taylor's world, the national color has a decidedly lethal sheen.
SEVERANCE by Chris Bucholz (due to be published 9 Dec 2014)
After 240 years traveling toward Tau Prius and a new planet to colonize, the inhabitants of the generation ship Argos are bored and aimless. They join groups such as the Markers and the Breeders, have costumed orgies, and test the limits of drugs, alcohol, and pain just to pass the time.
To Laura Stein, they're morons and, other than a small handful of friends, she'd rather spend time with her meat plant than with any of her fellow passengers. But when one of her subordinates is murdered while out on a job, Laura takes it as her responsibility to find out what happened. She expects to find a personal grudge or a drug deal gone wrong, but instead stumbles upon a conspiracy that could tear the ship in two.
Labelled a terrorist and used as a pawn in the ultimate struggle for control, Laura, with help from her friend Bruce and clues left by a geneticist from the past, digs deep into the inner working of the ship, shimmying her way through ductwork, rallying the begrudged passengers to rise up and fight, and peeking into an unsavory past to learn the truth and save their future.

Erevan Choral Society and Orchestra Delivers Another Incredible Concert
By Robert Dulgarian
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The year 2015 was one of renewal, reflection and hope for Armenians all over the world. Since the official centenary of the Armenian Genocide saw the recognition of its martyrs as saints by the Armenian Apostolic Church, the advent of the year's Christmas and Nativity season was bound to hold a special meaning for Armenians.
The annual Christmas Holiday Concert of Holy Trinity Armenian Church of Greater Boston by the Erevan Choral Society, held in the church sanctuary on December 13, and directed by the indefatigable Konstantin Petrossian, sought to pay tribute to both the solemnity and the joy that consequently marked an unusual holiday season.
As befits a year of renewal, this year's concert featured both new voices and familiar voices in new roles. Almost traditionally, the concert has featured a world premier: the choral vocalise Aghotk ("Prayer") by Martin Vardazaryan, a performance dedicated to two departed Erevan Choral Society benefactors, Gerald Ajemian and Garbis Barsoumian.
Perhaps most novel was the virtuoso performance by the a cappella quartet, The Bostonians, in which alto Roselin Osser, tenor Michael Calmès, and bass Philip Lima joined soprano Nouné Karapetian, a performer well-known to Armenian audiences. The quartet offered a lyrical and spirited rendition of the carol "Ding Dong Merrily on High" and of Armenian songs Cilicia and Noubar, Noubar, the last two dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
All four singers' mastery of the Armenian lyrics clearly impressed and delighted the audience.
Also new to Erevan Choral Society was accomplished operatic soprano Knarik Nerkararyan who impressed as soloist in Charles Gounod's familiar Ave Maria, composed over Bach's first prelude from The Well-Tempered Clavier, and in Petrossian's own Diramayr, dedicated to the memory of Diramayr Sirvart Minassian, the mother of the Erevan Choral Society's beloved founder, the Very Rev. Oshagan Minassian.
Also new to the performance was alto saxophonist Andrei Sobchenko's fluid rendition of Mel Torme's Christmas Song. Finally, longstanding Erevan Choral Society alto Jane Zanichkowsky reprised her solo in John Rutter's arrangement of the carol How Great Our Joy.
The balance of the concert reflected the combined commemoration of the centenary and the season. The traditional candlelit processional O Come, All Ye Faithful opened the concert. From the Armenian tradition, choir and orchestra reprised Levon Chaushyan's Srpazan Hayasdan, originally premiered for the Genocide Centenary, as well as settings of Ov Zarmanalee, Aysor Tzaynun Hayragan and the Hymn of the Kiss of Peace, all rescored by Petrossian; Handel's "Hallelujah" from Messiah rounded out the musical performance.
Fr. Vasken Kouzouian, pastor of Holy Trinity Church, welcomed two dignitaries to close out the program. Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, the ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the United Nations, spoke movingly and fluently about the seminal role of Armenia and Armenians in framing and pursuing issues of genocide, human rights and accountability among all peoples.
Archbishop Nourhan Manougian, Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem, brought the blessings of Bethlehem and the greetings of the Armenian community of the Holy Land with him. He delivered closing remarks, stressing the unity of the Armenian people, church and culture in overcoming the terrible events of a hundred years ago and carrying on a spiritual and cultural tradition which, it is to be hoped, will sustain us for the next century and beyond.

Answering questions on Teen Jeopardy! was the easy part for contestant Amy Varallo.
The hard part for the former Aiken High School student was working the buzzer.
She mastered the buzzer well enough to finish second during preliminary rounds of the show, which aired last week.
Amy held a viewing party at her home.
"Some of my friends shouted out the answers as we watched it," she said.
Watching herself on television wasn't as difficult as she thought it would be. She didn't cringe when the camera showed her, but it was frustrating knowing why she didn't answer a question or knowing that she just didn't buzz in first.
She ended the game with $14,000 after correctly answering the Final Jeopardy clue.
The show is a favorite of Amy's. She said it's different behind the scenes.
"We taped five matches in one day and then the second day they taped the semifinals and finals," she said. "We waited in the green rooms until our names were called and didn't know who we would play."
She said taping also doesn't happen in just 30 minutes. After changing her wager in Final Jeopardy at the last minute, it took almost 30 minutes to decide whether they would accept her final wager.
Some of the contestants' conversations with show host Alex Trebek also never make the air.
Amy said she would continue to watch the rest of the week, still answering along with the friends she made during the taping.
"It's a really fantastic experience no matter what the outcome," she said.
In the fall, Amy will attend Georgia Tech, where she will study nuclear engineering, but she said she'll take it easy the rest of the summer.

Northern Omelet Bagel Sandwich
Recipe by LutieLu
I used to work in a little muffin/bagel shop and this was my absolute favorite thing we sold there. I've slightly tweaked it to my tastes and you're welcome to do the same. My personal favorite is to use Tomato+Basil bagels with this. Also, this is one of the 'chunky' versions of the recipe. If you don't like as much tomato or pepper in yours, don't add it. And if you like your peppers a little softer, precook them a bit before adding in the eggs. Pretty simple.

This was so good! I used turkey links because that's all that I had and I split them for more coverage. I also used a mini red and a mini orange pepper along with the tomato. I had to stick an extra slice of cheese onto it too. ;) This was definitely a two fisted sandwich!! Thanks so much for posting!
