Labor 4:00
Total Crawley, Donna:bath repair 11:00
If instead you wanted the report to show how much time each employee worked

Cathleen Allison / AP
Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2014 | 2 a.m.
In a political climate where getting a single bill passed in Congress can take years, one Nevada lawmaker thinks he's found a workaround.
Rep. Mark Amodei, a Northern Nevada Republican, has gotten yes votes in the House of Representatives on more than a dozen of his Nevada-related initiatives since April; a feat for any lawmaker.
He has done it in a roundabout way. Amodei sits on the House Appropriations Committee, a powerful committee in Congress that controls the purse strings for 12 federal agencies and their programs.
Congressional gridlock means the first-term lawmaker has found more legislative success working with money than by introducing bills.
The Appropriations Committee in both the House and the Senate are required by law to set spending levels for federal agencies before the fiscal year, beginning Oct. 1. Because of the legal requirement to get these done every year, there's a better chance lawmakers on appropriations can push through their initiatives.
By contrast, it's more difficult to get nonspending bills out of other committees, which can be stymied by politics and aren't on as strict of a deadline.
"This has been a really great way to legislate," said Amodei's spokesperson, Brian Baluta.
It's a great way to legislate because Amodei isn't legislating, at least not in the traditional sense. Instead of trying to change laws, he's directing how the federal government can spend its money.
For example, Amodei got language in a spending bill requiring all federal agencies to reconsider holding their conventions in resort cities such as Las Vegas and Reno. (The government has been skittish to travel to Nevada since a scandal erupted in 2012 involving a General Services Administration conference in 2010 in Las Vegas.)
Amodei also pointed Department of Interior money toward wildfire protection, rehabilitation and protecting private water rights — big issues in the northern part of the state.
He even succeeded in getting through the House a one-year delay in the government's decision on whether to list the sage grouse as an endangered species, which would place restrictions on land that would hurt Nevada's economy.
Traditional bills Amodei introduced to take similar actions are still stuck in Congress.
"You can't pass a public lands bill in appropriations, but you can affect a lot of the policy," Amodei said.
The whole appropriations process takes less than a year. That's much quicker than the bill-to-law format, which can take three years, as was the case for Amodei's Nevada Republican colleague, Rep. Joe Heck.
"I've never been a money guy, but looking at the opportunity to be there for purposes of that resort language was what enticed us to do it," Amodei said.
There are downsides. A law is permanent, while an appropriation only lasts a year.
Amodei will have to do all this again next year if he wants another delay on the decision for sage grouse or to keep Las Vegas and Reno back in the running for federal conventions.
But Amodei sees his role on the committee as less of a rule-maker and more of a way to nudge government agencies toward a policy. The prestige of the Appropriations Committee also allows him to meet with top agency officials to press his case.
"You can send out messages very clearly so everyone knows what's expected," he said.
The other downside: Ideological and procedural debates have halted Congress' ability to pass anything, much less spending bills. Congress hasn't passed a full budget in four years, relying instead on short-term fixes that roll over the past year's budget without major changes.
In an election year, lawmakers are even less willing to take tough votes on spending bills. That means a short-term fix is likely to happen again, potentially leaving Amodei's appropriations out of the mix.
So while Amodei may have found a faster way to get things done, all roads in Congress may still lead to gridlock.

Apocalypse threatens on all sides in the rousing conclusion to Files's remarkable Hexslinger trilogy (after A Rope of Thorns), set in the post-Civil War American southwest. Magically-corrupt detective Allan Pinkerton's army, with its anti-magic devices and enslaved hexes, advances on the beleaguered Reverend Asher Rook's Hex City (a refuge for persecuted magic-wielders) as a group of women, including dead-speaker Yancy Kloves and the powerful but crippled Chinese hex, Songbird, struggle to aid Chess Pargeter's escape from the underworld. Throughout the proceedings, trickster god Tezcatlipoca roams free in Chess's body, only adding to the mischief. Underlying the plentiful gore are the moral dilemmas of both Pinkerton's more ethical agents and the hexes, whose freedom comes at the terrible price of blood-sacrifices to the goddess Ixchel. With her assemblage of strong female characters balancing the flamboyantly gay Chess and his former lovers, Files turns in a bravura performance, bringing a complex conflict among gods, monsters, hexes, and ordinary humans to a satisfying resolution. (May) A Time Never Lived Terri-Lynne DeFino Hadley Rille (Ingram, dist.), (358p) ISBN 978-0-98496-702-5 This gripping sequel to 2010's Finder brings family drama and magical legend to life. When the psychic Finder Ethen and his beloved Zihariel disappear during their search for the lost Spice Way across the Iabba Desert, the focus shifts to Ethen's son, Victorio, whose Finding talent appears to have failed, and whose relationship with the mercurial Cesilee has grown strained in the wake of her affair with artifact-hunter Sulman "Sully" Kahvek. After a fiery vision of a burning landscape, Victorio, fearing for his father, sets out in pursuit of Ethen, with Cesilee and lonely nobleman Lord Dorquin Shiel in tow. Joined as well by the treasure-seeking Sully and the mysterious Myrie Raleven, Victorio's party begins a dangerous quest across a magnificently-depicted multicultural fantasy world for the legendary city of Valadur. This is a memorable saga of supernatural power and human love from the increasingly impressive DeFino. (May)

There's a difference between opportunity costs and just plain costs.
Gov. Rick Perry doesn't seem to get it.
In his State of the State address last week, he hammered on taxes, government and bureaucracy. And he said he wants to return $1.8 billion to taxpayers.
"While Texas is a low-tax state, let's make the burden on Texans even lower," Perry told lawmakers.
That line may play well with the electorate (or pander to it, if you prefer), but when did the state's free-spending ways become the most pressing problem of the age?
Perry seems to be fighting for Texas austerity, even as that policy becomes more discredited worldwide — and as he simultaneously claims that Texas is leading the recovery.
Perry held up Texas as a model for the nation. On job creation, he has a case, because the state added more than 1 million workers in the last decade. But in education and health care, there's not much to brag about, especially after a judge ruled Monday that Texas' school funding system was unconstitutional.
The court case came after lawmakers cut $5.4 billion in education funding in 2011. About 600 school districts filed suit, arguing that students couldn't meet achievement standards if schools didn't have enough money.
From 2009 to 2011, average spending per enrolled student declined 10.4 percent in Texas, based on preliminary figures from the National Education Association. Nationwide, the same measure increased 3.7 percent over the period.
On this score, Texas ranked 46th in the country, a decline of nine spots in three years.
While throwing money at a problem may not solve everything, it's hard to imagine being world-class if Texas keeps cutting while others invest. Neighbors Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas and Louisiana spend more per enrolled student.
Texas also ranks last in health coverage, with 1 in 4 residents carrying no insurance. While Perry insists that Texas won't expand Medicaid to cover more adults — and accept billions in federal dollars to do that — he hasn't offered another choice. In the past, he touted emergency room care for the uninsured, despite the high costs of providing routine treatment there.
Fiscal discipline was ingrained in Austin before Perry became governor, and there's not much threat of a spending binge today. General revenue spending, adjusted for population and inflation, is slightly lower than 20 years ago, according to the Legislative Budget Board.
Although total debt is significantly higher, it hasn't grown outlandishly — not after adjusting for population and inflation. The upshot is that Texas' finances are sound and conservative, and Perry could set a more aggressive agenda.
Texas is fortunate to have strong population growth, fueled by a high birth rate and migration. But that strength can become a weakness if too many residents are undereducated and unhealthy. Perry wants to tap the rainy day fund, pumped up by oil and gas revenue, and proposes improving water and roads. While worthy initiatives, as one El Paso lawmaker said last week: Education is the best infrastructure.
People may always disagree on funding levels, even if they're pleading for major improvement. Last week, during the school finance trial, Bill Hammond of the Texas Association of Business said the state faced "a looming crisis" if it didn't start producing better graduates, pronto.
But when asked about funding, he said, "More funds are not necessarily needed."
"How would we know, since it's been a long time since we tried?" said Eva DeLuna Castro, senior budget analyst for the liberal Center for Public Policy Priorities in Austin. "Less money certainly didn't help."
Through 2009, education funding was growing at a strong clip in Texas, helped by increases in state and federal funding. Some fall-off was natural after the recession and the ending of the federal stimulus.
In 2011, much of the school funding progress was undone. More than 15,000 jobs for teachers and aides were eliminated that year, and cuts are still rippling through some districts.
In constant dollars, total revenue for funding is a flat line from 2002 to 2013, according to the Legislative Budget Board. Over the same time, average daily attendance increased more than 22 percent.
Those numbers should be in closer alignment. There are many ways to measure success, and none is more important than making the most of your opportunities.

In a brand new interview with Esquire magazine, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford was asked how the guys in the band maintain their privacy in the age of the Internet and social media, when everything is out there now. "It's a very good question, and it's basically trust and respect for each," Halford replied. "I would never say anything about Glenn [Tipton, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist], even about the music to a certain respect. But as far as the dirty laundry that some bands are very, very open about displaying, the most important thing for PRIEST is the music. We really treasure it. And I'm only speaking for myself, but once you get beyond that and you get deeper, digging in the dirt, it can really dilute what you're about and what you're trying to be with your music. So we're very, very protective of that. We've also been fortunate in that we're surrounded by people outside of the band who are very protective of us as well."He added: "You get these tell-all book from agents and managers that don't really know the truth: We've been lucky. We're constantly asked if we're going to do a book. Well, it seems the only way you can get a book to be successful is to dig up the dirt, and I don't want to do that, personally. I think it's also part of the magic and mystery of the band, isn't it? "In today's world, everybody knows what everybody's doing. It's all in one ear and out the other and doesn't have any value. So for us, it's about keeping the privacy and the mystique. The band is called JUDAS PRIEST and this is our music." In a separate interview with ABC News Radio, Halford — who has been openly gay for the past 16 years — repeated the sentiment, saying: "Time and time and time again, 'Can we have a book from JUDAS PRIEST?'...I don't think we'll ever do it. We've always pushed back. We know what people want — an exposure of the band," adding that that's not going to happen. "If you want to know about JUDAS PRIEST, put on that record from 1974 and listen to everything to 2014 — there's the life of JUDAS PRIEST," he said. "We don't feel as though we need to say anything more beyond the music." Halford, however, seemed to be more receptive to the idea of one day telling his own story in an autobiography. "That's...a personal journey and I think that I'd probably have less of a problem with that [than with a band tell-all] because it would be coming from my mouth," he said before adding he'd keep it personal. "I wouldn't say anything about Richie [Faulkner, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist], I wouldn't say anything about Glenn. I wouldn't bring anybody else into that part of my life because... it's not cool." Halford went on to say that his story is "of its own life compared to what I am, I'm a singer in a heavy metal band. Oh, by the way, he's also gay. That's...simplistic, but I know it's a very deep story, it's a very interesting story."

I understand. The style I call "architectural" - meticulously rendering walls, roofs, and other man-made surfaces - produces amazing drawings, but always struck me as extremely demanding and tedious, particularly in ink. My drawing aspirations tended more toward the rural; I've commented on the Lakeland Farm.
Thanks again. I began to waver towards the end, it was very taxing and made my eyes sore. The photograph I copied it from was taken in 1968. Peat was used for heat, but the practice is now frowned on, it being fossil fuel.
Doing these one at a time, because they take so long. Another nice treatment and an interesting subject. You did well with the various forms of lettering and script on the signs!I find "Peat's for meat" amusing in a country which historically has used "peat for heat". In fact, that's how I read it until I saw the full-sized version.
No problem, I'm usually between 7 and 10 or out the leaderboard altogether :-)

Fort Erie Council rescues horse racing
Horses will be racing out of the starting gate at Fort Erie Race Track again this year come May 27.
The Fort Erie Council has made sure of it.
By a 6-1 vote, following a closed session, lawmakers approved $500,000 to help the track.
The money, which came from the town's reserve fund, was due at midnight Monday to meet the track's lease payment. The Fort Erie Live Racing Consortium ended Monday, necessitating the vote.
"We're excited we have horse racing this year, and a good business plan that's sustainable for the long-term future of the Fort Erie Race Track," Fort Erie Mayor Doug Martin said. "With a three-year commitment, it will also enable the horse owners to replenish their stock."
Martin said he hadn't anticipated Fort Erie having to foot such a large bill.
"We felt the importance of the track to Fort Erie was well worth the investment. We hope that sometime in the future the track will become self-sustaining, and we will find a way to reduce the burden on the town," Martin said.
Fears were put to rest that, after 116 years, the bordertown track's racing days might be over. That was a possibility after the Ontario Horse Racing Transition panel announced last year that the track would not be among eight that are continuing to receive government subsidies.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne announced $400 million in October would be provided over five years to help Ontario's horse racing industry. She added another $100 million, with $7.9 millon for the Fort Erie Race Track.
The 37 racing dates this year through Sept. 30 are down slightly from last year's 41-day schedule. That was part of a negotiated agreement in which the province, the Council and the track consortium made concessions to keep costs down. The province agreed not to take revenues planned from off-track wagers.
"It's a complex funding formula, but essentially the province is letting us keep the betting on the track, and they're taking the betting off-track and pooling it provincewide. They'll give some of it back, depending on whether we meet performance goals," said Jim Thibert, chief executive officer of the Live Racing Consortium.
"I think the future is very good," Thibert said. "It all depends on how our horsemen respond, because they were the most devastated."
Thibert said that after so much uncertainty, they have to rebuild the confidence of the employees, the fan base on both sides of the border and, especially, the horse owners.
"The most important aspect is putting on the horse show, and the horse owners – the people who breed, invest and race the horses – were getting beaten down here and elsewhere. We have control now with three years, so that means let's do our jobs, and we'll be here for a very long time," Thibert said.
The track, with nearly 200 seasonal employees, is the largest employer in Fort Erie, generating an annual economic impact of nearly $27 million.

It depends on how you view it. He is somewhat drawn to her in the same way he was drawn to Yukio's plight. Unlike the latter however, he's no stranger to Revy. They're pretty much comfortable in each other's company right now for complicated and "not so romantic" reasons.

I do believe Rock likes Revy; But he's too scared to make a move on Would u dare to make a move on a girl that'd shoot ur arse to the moon? I sure wouldn't.
Still, that scene (i believe at teh 1st season) where Rock lit revy's cigar with his own cigar, was probably what they did feel for each other. Maybe they'll never be the usual romantic couple, but they just need something to trigger they relationship... like Rock getttin shot or something. Then Revy will probably make her move (if he doesn't die, of course). Now that'd make 3rd season watchable

I agree that their relationship won't be the she blushes he stammers and at the end they kiss and say I love you like at the end of other romances.
The cigarette lighting did show she liked him though. Man that would be some rough angry sex there...
Just the sad part is I think one of them will die. Even if they make another season it would not be for a year or more. Gotta let manga get ahead.

Of course their relationship isn't the usual highschool crush thing, they're adults. Well, more in Rock's case moreso than Revy's. Anyway, I predict that Rock is going to put himself in a real life-or-death shituation because of something that Revy inadvertantly did and she'll fight through hell itself to get him out. She'll probably end up crippled at the end... :sadness:

Crippled you say? From the way Gin's sword went straight through her thigh, I was rather surprised that the injury wasn't something more permanent, like if the thrust had cut bone.
Here's a poll: Who in Black Lagoon will kick the bucket next of the reoccuring characters? Winner, if and when he/she is determined by the plot in manga, gets repped from us all?

Yes but most adults don't "Kiss" by lighting a cigerette..lol or kill and enjoy it.
It will definantly be one of the four.
Well Benny has the relationship with the counterfieter but he is not as big. His death is 50/50 in my book.
Dutch is the leader and everyone likes him. his death would be tragic to everyone and would cause one of those 'lets kill them all for the LT' type mentalities. Also his death would be the best. As the two main characters would still be together, but a main would die.(This is what I hope for, sorry Dutch lovers).
Okay now the most likely course.
Revy. Sadistic, psyco, and chinese. A dangerous combo. But she obviously has a thing for Rock shown by her jealousy to other girls and even showed she would die for him(When she drew her guns on the Russkies). Her death would most likely happen right after Rock realized he wanted her(And most likely a sex encounter) and then the next day she dies(Not the first show to do this). He would go into ultimate badass mode and with the help of the Russkies and remaining Black lagoon members would wipe out the enemy.
Rock's death is also a possibility(Although not till the end of the entire series since he is the main character). Would cause Revy to hit ultimatebitchfighterkillallofthosefuckerandcreatem anynewasshole mode.
And then there is the Revy & Rock die together which would just plain suck.
In my opinion, the Dutch's death scenario would be for the best but I believe they will most likely kill off Revy. Very doubtful they all live unless the end the series with a we will just keep doing what we are doing type ending.
Either way BL has been a fun ride and will be in the future. Hopefully we might get another series in a year or so and I hope for more shows like this.
For the bet, I regretfully and sulkily say Revy.

If one of the members were to die, I imagine the others won't be too far behind. I always have this weird thought that the Lagoon crew will one day find themselves as the target of Hotel Moscow's firing squad in the future. One of those last stand moments in other words, with Balalaika and Dutch having their last conversation on the phone and the former hating herself for giving the order, then there's Eda arriving too late, and finally ending with Rock and Revy giving each the look before everything turns white on them.
It's a dark scenario for sure. But hey, this is how I would end the story if I was aiming for a tragic, all-guns-blazing ending. Of course, the fan in me would rather see something less dark and something a bit more uplifting as much as the world of BL would permit. (I'm not that cruel, you know.)
Another thing though... I'm wondering how long Rock's hands can stay clean. Now while in one way Rock's "first kill" is Yukio, (hence why I find it apt that Balalaika sent the picture to him, as a reminder of his decision in the end) I wonder if it will come to a point wherein he'll be forced to take someone's life directly.

Maybe they'll all die by Hotel Moscow's hands, but allow me to qualify that with a "if I wanted to end the story with this kind of ending" statement.
While Black Lagoon has its moments, I don't think it's on that level yet so far. It still has that fun action vibe going for it after all.

Personally I want them all to live. Just continue the story with them on the good side of Hotel Moscow and just do side missions with crazy nazis, serial killer little twins and such. .
On a side note this show reminds me of Mercenaries:Playground of Destruction bigtime.

Immorality is the landscape of the show; it is barely noticeable as a result, unless you are REALLY bad. I mean, we have seen the Lagoon company deliver bags of heroin, transport a crate of AK-47s (potentially to warlords, criminal gangs, terrorists, or all three.), and attempted to ship a small boy as cargo. In any morality upright anime the Lagoon Company would be the bane of humanity.
The lack of a need for moral lessons, however, means there is no need to kill anyone just because they are bad. The Twins died not because they were evil (though they were), but because their insane selves couldn't fit into a criminal society. The Nazi-wannabes Revy butchered weren't killed because they were arrogant idiotic bigots (though they were), but because they spend time partying rather than training to be real fighters.
There is no "right" side in Black Lagoon. Just order or chaos. If Revy was meant to die, she would have died on the streets of NewYork long ago. The cast of Black Lagoon are survivors. They won't die that easily.

O I get that, hell they even got the CIA in on it(By no means a moral group). No, either they will die by Hotel Moscow or some other special forces group.
And the twin died because he was fucking insane.
The nazis died because they decided to get drunk and not get the hell out of dodge.
ANd I have seen one moral man in the show, the U-boat captain. And Rock tries to be at first then realizes if he is to survive he can't

Quite frankly, while I don't know where the anime will go, I don't think that they will meet their end at the hands of Balalaika. Keep in mind that Revy is probably the only person who could pull a gun on Balalaika and live. Which is what happens in the anime. Remember, Balalaika considers Revy (and by extension Rock), to be "Familly". A twisted disfunctional familly to be sure, but familly none the less. Revy calls her "Sis", or "Sister", and once comments that she's all she really has. I think the fact that Revy was willing to pull the gun on Balalaika was indicative of just how deeply she cared about Rock.
If you compare the relationships to that of the Godfather, then Rock more Michael Corleone, than anything else. Drawn into the world of darkness by choice, and then making the decision to pull the trigger. It seems almost like Balalaika is grooming him to be her intermediary with the legitimate world. Remember her comment of how he "will be an excellent villain". As long as Rock doesn't pose too big a threat to her interests, he will remain. Keep in mind her amiable relationships with Chan and Yolanda, direct competition in Roanapur, but not a threat. Personally, I think her ultimate goal might be to take over the Russian Mafia, or at least change the administration of Hotel Moscow from ground up.
Remember, she and her men joined the mafia after her former second in command was killed as a result of dirty money. So I think she has two goals: Power and Vengeance.

"If you're happy, the donuts are happy..."
Meet Fany Gerson, the 2011 James Beard nominated cookbook author and donut mastermind behind DOUGH, an innovative, never-a-few-hours-old artisan donut shop in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Fany was kind enough to give me a personal tour of DOUGH's back kitchen last week to watch as they handmade donuts. Now, I love a good donut. But donuts rarely amaze me. Rarely do they make me sit up and do a double-take at the sight of them. However, as I filmed DOUGH's over-sized, ring-shaped cakes getting dunked and dressed, something happened... I could literally feel my jaw drop in childlike wonder. "Wows" and "oh my gods" kept cooing from my shameless self as Fany presented donut flavor after donut flavor. I was embarrassingly, but not embarrassingly, on a filming sugar-high, and I hadn't even tried a donut yet!
Anyhow, I hope this story holds you and your sugar tooth captive, even if just for a moment. It took months for Fany to perfect her donut's dough recipe, testing and tweaking over 50 ideas before it came out just right. It's got that crisp little crunch on the bite in, then that big, soft center with a chewy give and hits of nutmeg that helps you savor the unique flavored glazes and textured toppings. It's a great donut, and the foot traffic says it all. On busy days, over 1,000 donuts in dozens of flavors are handmade for customers. Specials change daily, and once the spring/summer begins, Fany plans to introduce more seasonal flavors and filled jams.
DOUGH is definitely worth the trip out to Brooklyn. Trust me. I even shared a box with a few random strangers who admittedly didn't like donuts...until they took a bite of DOUGH's.

Put an ornate chandelier in a modern room for a dramatic, glamorous look. Photo courtesy of Cantoni
Start Simply
Craving a big new look, but don't have the budget? An inexpensive, instant makeover can be as simple as adding a new rug, sofa, chandelier, paint color or piece of upholstery into your space.
Design for Tough Times
Designers share their insights on staying on-trend in today's ever-changing economic conditions.
- by Margie Monin Dombrowski
Interior design trends reflect what's going on in the world around us—from the catwalk to our living rooms and everything in between. Today's hot topic is the economy, and while it seems to affect our daily lives, it doesn't need to stifle your style. These designers show you that even though times are tough, a little design can go a long way.
Buying Quality
A timeless design trick for any budget is to buy the best quality you can afford. Interior Designer G. Thomas Catalucci, of G. Thomas Catalucci, Inc. in Boca Raton, Fla. works strictly with high-end clients, and even they are feeling the financial crunch. "They're buying less," Catalucci says, because of the current economic crisis, but "they tend to buy better quality, individual pieces they want to keep for a long time." It's a design secret of the well-off from which we all can learn. They may purchase fewer pieces—anything from a TV or chandelier to a sofa—says Catalucci, but they choose the best their money can buy, so it lasts.
Glamming Up
Jamie Drake, of Drake Design Associates in New York, N.Y., finds clients are looking for value most. "I explain upfront there are no fire sales going on," he says, "especially with the luxury market." What may seem like a costly investment at first may prove to be more value in the long run. And when it comes to creating a sensational look, a little bling goes a long way. Drake points to fabrics dusted with silver or gold; metal accents on wooden furniture; Venetian glass with metallic bubbles; reflective and metallic paints; and bronze and gold finishes. These finishes and materials inspire Drake's high-end interiors—because in times like these he says, a little shimmer and shine is "optimistic."
Starting Small
Consumers are spending more time at home, leaving them wondering how to improve their living space with limited means. Alissa Sutton, director of corporate design and media relations for Cantoni in Los Angeles, sees this everyday with her residential clients. They're looking to add or make changes to what they currently have, instead of doing an entire makeover, she explains. So how do make an impact on a tight budget? "A new rug, paint, or even fabric on a sofa can refresh a space instantly," says Sutton.
People still have money to spend, says Ruth Richardson, owner of Studio R Interiors in Montville, N.J.—they're just simplifying the design. Richardson divulges that people seem to be tired of heavier looks for wall coverings, like faux finishes and wallpaper, and are skipping straight to the paint instead. "People are using color to make their statement," Richardson said, which is an easy and inexpensive way to make a huge improvement fast.
And when it comes to simplifying, going green counts as well. Catalucci's sees clients embracing a 'less-is-more' philosophy. They're choosing energy-efficiency—a combination of their desire for both quality and simplicity. "It's a little more stress-free," says Catalucci. This less-is-more philosophy reflects greater global eco-consciousness and the major uptick in consumer interest in sustainable furnishings.
Choosing Color
Dallas-based Cantoni interior architect and designer Pogir uses contemporary combinations in his projects, and likes to match dark, exotic woods with stainless steel elements to create a dramatic mood effect. Mixing dark brown with accents of black and white, and juxtaposing light woods with dark ones, are some of the designer's favorite tricks. While dark woods and colors may add a bit of seriousness to an interior, but they can also be grounding.
When it comes to color, Richardson has recently been using a lot of warm colors in the traditional and contemporary-style residences she works on for her clients. Her clients are choosing gold and spice tones, which she says are both earthy and calming.
Today's trends don't box you in like those of the past, so feel free to mix it up a little. Now, you can play with various styles, and pick and choose what you like. This can mean mixing up pieces in different styles for a more eclectic look. Sometimes, it's just a matter of introducing new pieces to old ones. Catalucci suggests using a period wallcovering in the midst of modern furnishings or placing an antique table or chest in a loft-style apartment with an otherwise stark look. "Generations ago, everything was in one scene and one look," but that's changing, he explains. "It's a whole different lifestyle today."
Sutton, who recently appeared as a contestant on the 2009 season of HGTV Design Star, likes to infuse glamour and whimsy to simple rooms filled with modern crafted pieces. That touch of sparkle, she believes, makes a room feel more alive and energizing. Her tips on how you can achieve that same magic include using mirrors, chrome accents and candles—but her favorite choice is a dramatic chandelier. "Putting an ornate chandelier in a modern room," Sutton explains, "literally sheds a new light on the space."

While a better future lay ahead of them, the early Six Reasons to Kill were plagued by line-up changes and the overall mediocrity of their songs. "Kiss the Demon" sadly has very little in common with the later band highlights "Reborn" and "Another Horizon".
First of all, the one main reason why metalcore fans might be interested in this album: Two later members of German metalcore export Caliban performed on this, Patrick Grün (drums) and Marco Schaller (guitar in 6RtK, bass in Caliban). Despite this, "Kiss the Demon" doesn't actually sound like the more recent albums of both bands, but are more reminiscent of the early Caliban albums, where they still sloppily copied Slayer riffs and combined them with breakdowns - the main difference between early Caliban and early Six Reasons to Kill being that the latter rather stuck to Six Feet Under instead of Slayer.
"Kiss the Demon" focuses on completely different musical aspects than "Reborn" does. Mostly, this means that the riffing on the whole album is a lot less melodic and memorable on this album - basically, the music sounds a lot less elobrate than it would later evolve. The music is heavy and the vocals are intense, but both lacks direction. Overall, the tough-guy metalcore influence is far bigger than the melo-death elements.
That doesn't mean that the album is completely bad, though. Songs like "Coldness" are nice by themselves, but over the course of a full album, the material simply severely lacks in diversity. While this is attributed to metalcore often enough already, the problem here isn't the predictable strucure of verse - chorus - breakdown - verse - chorus; it's rather that there are practically no hooks and memorable choruses at all. The overall instrumental and vocal performance is okay, but the material just isn't that good to begin with.
Luckily, the band took some time off to restructure after "Kiss the Demon" and only released the follow-up album almost five years after this - and "Reborn" was well worth the wait. But that is a different topic; as far as this one is concerned: Check it out if you feel you have to, but don't tell me I didn't warn you.

SALT CREEK (Motley County). Salt Creek rises in southeast Motley County eight miles west of the Cottle county line and six miles north of the boundary with Dickens County (at 33°55' N, 100°37' W). The creek runs northeast for ten miles to its mouth on the Tongue, or South, Pease River, one mile south of U.S. Highway 62/80 near the Motley-Cottle county line (at 35°59' N, 100°31' W). The land surrounding the upper part of Salt Creek was considered some of the best grazing land on the Matador Ranch. The moderately steep slopes are covered with shallow to moderately deep silt loams that support mesquite and grasses.

It's a somewhat lively weeknight on the corner of Miami Beach's Tenth Street and Washington Avenue and sound is all around. Hip-hop blares from car stereos. Miniskirted drunken women amble along the sidewalk muttering loudly. Motorcycles transporting fat guys thunder down the road. An action-packed evening for a place that usually wakes up for weekends, when the streets and sidewalks vibrate incessantly.
Part of that dynamic energy was what conceptual artist Annie Wharton hoped to capture in her installation Plastic Theater, occupying the gleaming steel Bridge Tender's House in front of the Wolfsonian-FIU museum. A show devoted to Futurist Fortunato Depero is on display at the main museum, which features art from 1885 to 1945. The Futurist movement, founded in 1909 Italy, extolled the virtues of the mass market, machines, and violence, and was determined to propel its nation into the world of tomorrow.
Outside in the tender's house, Wharton's installation is resolutely today with an eye toward yesterday. Three strips of opaque Mylar, depicting female marionettes, hang from the ceiling. The long-haired, luscious-lipped gals wear elegant chemises and high-heeled, knee-high boots. They stand in quasi-martial arts fighting poses in front of a blue fabric background. White cloud-shaped pillows are strewn about. Bathed in a pink light the women, though constricted, appear to be boogying nonchalantly in the sky. The sound to which they move: Wharton's voice reading Depero's poem, Colori, over a dark musical track by British drum and bass artist Grooverider, mixed by New York-based junglist DJ a GraM.

The multimedia brew of puppets, music, poetry, light, and set design refers to the Futurists, who employed all sorts of elements to get their frequently fascist point of view across. One major difference: the portrayal of strong women. Futurists did not often employ females as subject matter. "I wanted to focus on the strength of the contemporary woman still hemmed in by strings but dancing nonetheless, triumphing over situations," says Wharton, whose current works incorporate typical tools of housework and whose past pieces have ranged from mammoth metal sculptures to photographs and videos of female prizefighters.
Unlike the sensory assault that is South Beach, Wharton is a bit less in-your-face about the way she does things. "My work is quiet and contemplative these days," she explains. "I don't like to bombard people." Nor does she like to rely on the commonplace. In a discussion of marionettes (hers are inspired by a German photograph from the Twenties), the name of the famed Italian puppet inevitably comes up. How would Pinocchio figure into all of this? He wouldn't. Wharton shakes her head from side to side and scoffs: "He's a guy!"

Plastic Theater remains on view through July 26 at the Bridge Tender's House outside the Wolfsonian-FIU, 1001 Washington Ave, Miami Beach. Call 305-531-1001.

ProfileGroupSettings Class
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
The ProfileGroupSettings class provides a way to programmatically create, access, and modify groups of properties added to the group subsection of the profile section of a configuration file.
The profile section of the configuration file specifies a schema for user profiles. At run time, the ASP.NET compilation system uses the information specified in the profile section to generate a class called ProfileCommon, which is derived from ProfileBase. The ProfileCommon class definition is based on the properties defined in the properties subsection of the profile section of the configuration file. An instance of this class is created for each user profile, and you can access the individual profile values in your code through the HttpContext.Profile property. For more information about the profile features added to ASP.NET 2.0, see ASP.NET Profile Properties.
The following code example shows how to use the ProfileGroupSettings type. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ProfileSection class.
// Add a new group. ProfileGroupSettings newPropGroup = new ProfileGroupSettings("Forum"); profileSection.PropertySettings.GroupSettings.Add(newPropGroup); // Add a new PropertySettings to the group. ProfilePropertySettings newProp = new ProfilePropertySettings("AvatarImage"); newProp.Type = "System.String, System.dll"; newPropGroup.PropertySettings.Add(newProp); // Remove a PropertySettings from the group. newPropGroup.PropertySettings.Remove("AvatarImage"); newPropGroup.PropertySettings.RemoveAt(0); // Clear all PropertySettings from the group. newPropGroup.PropertySettings.Clear();

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — State agriculture officials are spraying vegetation in parts of Riverside and San Bernardino counties after two male guava fruit flies were caught in insect traps in Eastvale earlier this month.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Thursday (http://bit.ly/1igxqHa ) that the eradication area encompasses about 9 square miles around each site where an insect was trapped. It includes much of Eastvale and stretches into Chino and Ontario.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture is also setting out poison bait.
The pest, native to Pakistan, India and Thailand, lays its eggs in fruit including melons, oranges and cherries. The larvae then tunnel through the flesh, making it unfit to eat.
The guava fruit fly first turned up in the Western Hemisphere in 1986, when three of the insects were discovered in Orange County.

AMMAN - Jordan is opening a new, sprawling tent city to accommodate tens of thousands more Syrian refugees who are expected to flee fighting as their nation's civil war continues unabated, a UN official said.
Jordanian officials will open the Azraq refugee camp on Wednesday, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) from the Syrian border.
The United Nations says the camp will ultimately host 130,000 people, as many as there are now in Zaatari, currently Jordan's largest camp. (AP)

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
The Fox Theatre
Atlanta, GA«archive page
Guest Information
Roy Blount Jr.
The New York Times Book Review has called Roy Blount Jr. "one of America's wittiest writers." Readers of his articles in The Oxford American, Sports Illustrated, Esquire, Vanity Fair, GQ, National Geographic, Rolling Stone and The New York Times could tell you that. So could fans of his 21 books, including the most recent, Alphabet Juice (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). He has been honored as a Literary Lion by the New York Public Library and a Literary Light by the Boston Public Library. On radio, he is a panelist on NPR's news quiz show, Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me. Born in Indianapolis and raised in Decatur, Georgia, Blount makes his home in western Massachusetts and Manhattan.
Caroline Herring
Growing up in small-town Mississippi, singer-songwriter Caroline Herring studied piano and flute, and she sang in the church choir. After college, she moved west to Texas, where for many years she was associated with the Austin music scene, and where in 2001 she released her debut album, Twilight. But since 2003, she has made her home in Atlanta.For her latest CD, Golden Apples of the Sun (Signature Sounds), Herring won the prestigious Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters award for musical composition.
EG Kight
She's called "The Georgia Songbird," and Dublin, Georgia, native EG Kight has spent most of her life earning the title. By age three, she was singing in church; in her teens she was writing country songs and performing at festivals. But it was after she heard a Koko Taylor recording that her musical career took a dramatic turn toward the blues. Since then, she has been honored with a half-dozen nominations for Blues Music Awards by the Memphis-based Blues Foundation. And two of her songs wound up on Koko Taylor albums. EG Kight's latest CD is It's Hot in Here (M.C. Records).
Steep Canyon Rangers
The Steep Canyon Rangers, first got together in college, and over the past decade or so the Asheville, North Carolina-based quintet has built a solid reputation among bluegrass fans. The group has been regularly featured on the Grand Ole Opry and at music festivals such as MerleFest, Telluride, and RockyGrass, and many know them from their appearances as Steve Martin's backing band. Deep in the Shade (Rebel Records), their most recent CD, spent a month in the top 10 on Billboard'sBluegrass Albums chart. The Rangers are: Woody Platt (guitar), Graham Sharp (banjo), Mike Guggino (mandolin), Charles R. Humphrey III (bass) and Nicky Sanders (fiddle).
The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band
The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band is led by A Prairie Home Companion music director Richard Dworsky. Keyboard player, composer and improviser in any style, he also writes all the script themes and underscores. His latest CD is So Near and Dear to Me.
Chet Atkins called Pat Donohue (guitar) one of the greatest fingerpickers in the world today. And he writes songs too — recorded by Suzy Bogguss, Kenny Rogers and others. Freewayman (Bluesky Records) is the most recent of Pat's nine albums.
Gary Raynor (bass) has performed with the Count Basie band, Sammy Davis Jr. — with whom he toured for several years — and the Minnesota Klezmer Band. He teaches jazz bass at the McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul.
Peter Johnson (percussion) has played klezmer music with Doc Severinsen and jazz with Dave Brubeck. He was a drummer for The Manhattan Transfer and for Gene Pitney. He has toured the world, but he always comes back to home base: Saint Paul.
Old Sweet Songs: A Prairie Home Companion 1974-1976
Lovingly selected from the earliest archives of A Prairie Home Companion, this heirloom collection represents the music from earliest years of the now legendary show: 1974–1976. With songs and tunes from jazz pianist Butch Thompson, mandolin maestro Peter Ostroushko, Dakota Dave Hull and the first house band, The Powdermilk Biscuit Band (Adam Granger, Bob Douglas and Mary DuShane).

Norris serves as Majority Leader of the state Senate and has been at the forefront of legislative efforts to secure the ultimate independence of the Shelby County suburbs from city/county school merger. He also had a brush with the annexation controversy in 2012, when he co-sponsored two abortive bills on the subject.
One of them would have removed the Gray's Creek/Fisherville area in eastern Shelby County from Memphis's annexation reserve, and the other would have made the City's annexations anywhere else subject to referenda by the populations to be annexed.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton and the City Council reacted to that prospect by setting in motion an ordinance for the immediate annexation of Gray's Creek/Fisherville. Pleading that he had acted only to honor constituents' requests, Norris would subsequently withdraw the bills, which state Attorney General Robert Cooper had meanwhile declared constitutionally suspect. Wharton and the Council would also stand down.
But annexation and the need to clarify the rights of cities, suburbs, and unincorporated areas vis-à-vis each other have continued to be subjects of potential legislation and are sure to be live issues in the next session of the General Assembly. The annexation question has been a particular hot potato in Shelby County, where de-annexation has also received serious discussion of late, both in Memphis and its suburbs.
In any case, TACIR was tasked in the 2013 legislative session with conducting a comprehensive study on annexation and with making recommendations on the subject to the General Assembly in January.
"This study requires in-depth research by the staff and thoughtful consideration by the members of the commission. I am pleased to continue to lead TACIR as we look into this issue as well as many others," Norris said following his re-election, which took place during a two-day meeting of the commission in Nashville on June 19 and 20.
Norris has served as chairman of TACIR since 2009. He is also chair-elect of the Council of State Governments.

In some scenarios it might be necessary to know whether a process is actually being redirected or not. A case in point is for example a library that is loaded and needs to know whether the host process and the library have an identical view of the virtualized world. You can use GetTokenInformation with TokenVirtualizationEnabled to find that out.
The same API with TokenElevation instead of TokenVirtualizationEnabled will give you whether you run with an elevated token or not. Note that this does not guarantee you are running as administrator. You might very well be Backup Operator or standard user with a couple of manually added privileges.

Teachers often find it difficult to explain and convince first-year medical students about the different features and mannerisms associated with neurological disorders. For students, it's hard to visualize clinical cases without seeing the real patients in a clinical setup. Medical students here at our institute are not exposed to clinics during their first year of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery courses. We at Melaka-Manipal Medical College adopted an effective and innovative teaching method to make our students better understand the concepts and features of various neurological abnormalities relating to different parts of the brain by incorporating role-playing sessions in our lectures.
One hundred thirty first-year medical students of Melaka-Manipal Medical College were involved in this study. All students had been exposed to regular didactic lectures in neuroscience in anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry in detail. This helped them to integrate various topics from different subjects. Clinical cases in neurophysiology were discussed during the physiology lecture. After teaching students about the possible causes for each disorder, we introduced some role-playing sessions on disorders that had been discussed in the lecture. All role-playing sessions were conducted toward the end of each lecture. The respective faculty members acted like patients with specific neurological disorders. The neurological cases that were discussed in our lectures included the symptoms, features, and mannerisms of patients with cerebellar lesion, Parkinson's disease, hemiballism, aphasia, etc. Different cases of cerebellar lesion were discussed, which was followed by a demonstration where the lecturer tried to walk in a typical wide-based gait (drunken gait), as shown in Fig. 1A. A patient with cerebellar lesion also finds it difficult to maintain body equilibrium and often loses balance, which was also acted out in our role play. Features of Parkinson's disease were explained, and the characteristic shuffling gait with very short steps, an expressionless face, and loss of associated movement (all typical features of Parkinson's disease) were shown. The actor (faculty member) who was demonstrating symptoms of Parkinson's disease tried to attain the stooped posture (Fig. 1B) that is one of the classical features of Parkinson's disease. We also tried to mimic the speech abnormalities in nonfluent aphasia (Broca's aphasia) and fluent aphasia (Wernicke's aphasia) using a conversational role play between two faculty members, where one faculty member acted as a doctor interviewing a patient while the other acted as a patient with aphasia. Conversations were initiated by the doctor asking the patient about his name, occupation, family details, etc. The faculty member mimicked a patient with nonfluent aphasia (Broca's aphasia) who was finding it difficult to speak, one whose speech was slow and hard to come. The patient was restricted to using two to three words to express his feelings and emotions (2). In a patient with fluent aphasia (Wernicke's aphasia), speech is normal but the patient speaks about unrelated things that have not been not asked to him. He also tries to talk excessively, which makes very little sense (2).
In another role-playing session, we divided the students into smaller groups and tried to imitate the characteristic movements of the fingers and hands in chorea. Irregular, rapid, uncontrolled, and involuntary, movements of fingers and an irregular gait (Fig. 1C) were also attempted, as in Sydenham's chorea. Symptoms of athetosis were shown to the students with slow, writhing movements of flexion and extension of the wrist and shoulder, etc. (1). We tried to act out the involuntary movements as seen in hemiballism, where the actor was seated on a chair and a sudden flailing ballistic movement was performed on one-half of the body (Fig. 1D). We tried to demonstrate in our role play the different types of tremors, namely, intentional tremor and resting tremor, associated with cerebellar lesion and Parkinsonism, respectively. Intentional tremor was demonstrated in a role play where two faculty members were involved. One faculty member offered a cup of tea to the other, who was acting as the patient with cerebellar lesion. In such patients, the tremors become more evident when the patient tries to perform some voluntary task; in the role play, when the tea cup reached near the mouth of the patient, the tremor became more prominent. Once the motor act is over and when the patient is at rest he doesn't seem to have the tremor, which is the characteristic of intentional tremor.
The resting tremor of Parkinson's disease was demonstrated, where the subject was seated on a chair with both hands resting on his lap, where the tremor was very evident. When the individual was asked to lift both upper limbs and hold them there for some time, the tremor disappeared, which clearly indicated that the tremor was present only during rest.
Learning outcomes.
At the end of the role-playing series, the students of the entire batch (n = 130) were divided into small groups consisting 20 students/group. We asked them to explain the site of lesion and the pathways and areas involved in various disorders that might have resulted in the disorders that were represented by each of the characters in what they saw during their role-playing sessions. Four to five students from each group took up the responsibility as team leaders to explain the possible site of lesion that could result in the abnormal symptoms. There were active discussions among the students. They responded well to the questions by explaining to us the neural pathways involved, the site of lesion, and the normal functions of each brain structure. A summary of the type of questions that were asked to the students and the expected answers are shown in Table 1.
The majority of students gave a very clear explanation; this shows the effectiveness of the role-play lecture.
To document the effectiveness of the role-play lecture, a questionnaire was given to all students (n = 130) in the classroom during their lecture hour, asking them about the effectiveness of the role-play lecture in learning neuroscience. Their responses are shown in Table 2. It can be understood from the results shown in Table 2 that the overall response of the students toward the role-play lecture was positive, which once again proves the effectiveness of the role-play lecture. The students found this method of teaching to be very effective and interesting, unlike the usual theory classes in physiology, where they learn only the theoretical aspects with out any visual impact. Students responded in their feedback that the role-playing sessions helped them to better visualize the disorders and to retrieve the most important features seen in specific neurological abnormalities. This method made students very active and made the lecture more meaningful. It has been reported that lengthy lectures are less beneficial for students (3). This study supports the previous study, which reported that active involvement of students in a lecture helps them to understand the subject better (4). Moreover, audiovisual aids, such as video CDs on different neuronal abnormalities, are expensive and might require publisher's permission to use because of copyright restrictions. Therefore, we decided that role-play lectures were an effective, economical, and easily reproducible method for making our students better understand the core concepts and features involved in different neurological diseases.

When you build a kernel, you either build the vmlinux file, which yaboot and quik use, or you build a zImage.chrp or .prep or so (try googling for those), which include a compressed version of the same vmlinux file, plus a small chrp or prep or coff or whatever mini-bootloader whose code you will find in arch/ppc/boot, and which may include also an initrd in the same file. mkvmlinuz is just a smallish shell script, which provided the kernel-image you are using includes support for mkvmlinuz, in which is copies most of the object files built in arch/ppc/boot and a few more into /usr/lib/kernel-image-* so the last step of the linking can happen at kernel-image install time, so you don't need to have a -pmac, -prep, -chrp and -chrp-rs6k kernel as we used to have in older 2.4 times. If you are purely a yaboot or quik user, you can just plain ignore mkvmlinuz, and as it is just a smallish script, it will not bother you otherwise. Hope this helps. Friendly, Sven Luther

Seagate FreeAgent Go (320GB) Review
By March 23, 2009reviewed
Portable hard drives are not only getting larger in capacity, but they're also coming down in price. Many 250GB-and-larger models are now available for less than $100. Most of them, though, are not very sexy. Seagate's FreeAgent Go differs from the rest by incorporating a dollop of style and a healthy serving of extra features.
Available in 10 colors that cover the spectrum, the brushed-metal drive is designed to be used with laptops. Its weight and dimensions also make it easy to transport; at 5.6 ounces and 5.1x3.2x0.5 inches, it doesn't add much weight when thrown into your bag, and it's thin enough to fit into a back pocket.
Inside the shell is a 2.5-inch hard drive that spins at 5,400rpm. Seagate offers it in a choice of three capacities: 250GB ($99.99), 320GB ($129.99), or 500GB ($149.99), although some of the color options are available only in two of the capacities. (We tested the 320GB version.) There are no switches or buttons on the device to operate, just a single mini-USB port for connecting to your PC.
Using the drive for its basic function—storing your data—involves nothing more than connecting the included (albeit very short) mini-USB-to-USB cable between your PC and the drive. If you work primarily at a desk, you can purchase an optional USB cradle that lets you dock the drive easily. Once connected, the FreeAgent Go pops up as another hard drive that you can drag-and-drop files to and from.
You'll know that the drive is on and operating correctly by the series of lights on its front. The lights turn on when connected and pulse slowly to indicate that it's performing. Mac users can't take full advantage of the drive out of the box; the drive is recognized and can read from it, but you can't write to it. You could reformat the device as a Mac-compatible drive, but you lose the included software and PC compatibility. Although it's slightly more expensive, if you are a Mac user, get Seagate's FreeAgent Go for Mac, a similar device that includes a dock and gives you the option of USB, FireWire 400, or FireWire 800 connectivity.
The FreeAgent Go did well on our performance tests, but the transfer speeds were about what we expected from such a device. It took 8 minutes and 24 seconds to write to the drive a 10GB folder containing photo, music, video, and data files. It took 7 minutes and 35 seconds to read the same folder back to our PC.
The FreeAgent Go also includes the Seagate Manager software. To install it, you simply activate an install wizard that resides on the drive. Once the program is installed, the Seagate Manager icon appears on your system tray. Within the software, you can manage multiple drives, create a simple backup of your My Documents folder (or a customized backup of folders and files of your choosing), sync folders between two PCs, and secure your files with 256-bit AES encryption. (Note that AES isn't as strong as hardware-based encryption, such as that offered by Seagate's Maxtor Black Armor.) The backup options aren't as advanced as those of some other backup software we've seen, but it's a nice plus. It's also easy to set up, which is great for forgetful types who don't back up their computers as often as they should, and it has an intuitive interface.
With an attractive, slim, and lightweight design, plus an affordable price, the FreeAgent Go is an excellent portable hard drive for on-the-go PC users, even though its speed isn't groundbreaking. And Seagate offers a secondary use for the FreeAgent Go: the FreeAgent Theater, a $129.99 device that plays media on your television from a connected hard drive. The FreeAgent Theater has a dedicated slot that lets you slip in a FreeAgent Go. But even without the add-on, the drive, paired with the included backup software, is an excellent value.

Our Verdict: The Seagate FreeAgent Go is a top-value buy among portable hard drives, with a great form factor and bundled backup software.
