State officials should do a better job monitoring Legacy Amendment grants that go to zoos, museums, public radio and public TV, an audit released Thursday said.
The state Office of the Legislative Auditor has been analyzing how well state agencies are overseeing Legacy Amendment money.
Minnesota voters in 2008 approved the Legacy Fund constitutional amendment establishing a 3/8ths of a cent sales tax to fund the outdoors, clean water and the arts.
The audit of the state Department of Administration found that the agency's internal controls over grants were "generally adequate." It also said the department generally complied with grant requirements.
But in testing 16 grants, auditors found that for 14 of them, the department did not reconcile advance grant payments with the grantees' progress reports to prevent spending discrepancies. The report also covered grants funded through the state's General Fund and raised questions about how much money General Fund grantees were spending on supplies like batteries, ink and toner, which one grantee classified as "equipment."
The audit also found that the department did not complete monitoring visits for 11 of 16 grants tested.
The report issued by the Legislative Auditor did not specify which grants it audited, but eight organizations were covered. The list covered Minnesota Public Radio, Twin Cities Public Television, the Science Museum of Minnesota, the Minnesota Children's Museum, the Minnesota Film and TV Board, Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, KBEM Radio and KVSC Radio.
In response to the audit, Administration Commissioner Spencer Cronk said the agency has already implemented a plan to improve grant monitoring and reconciling payments with grant progress reports.
Cronk also said the department will consider seeking legislative or industry guidance on the definition of "equipment" for public media grants.

Editor's Note: A previous version of this story omitted information about which type of grant the report questioned for spending money on supplies. The grant came from the General Fund, not funds through the Legacy Amendment.

I have tried just about everything on the menu, and it's all wonderful. Their Tioponcho Pork is their signature dish, and I would highly suggest it. It's Nayarit style Mexican, so it's a bit different than most of the other places here (most others serve Sonoran style.Los Dos Molinos in Mesa and Phx - New Mexican Style Mexican food. Lots of green chili items, and everything is HOT, I mean HOT!!!!Carolina's in South Phoenix - Old school Mexican Food with a cult like following. They make the best tortillas in the whole world! Not just my opinion, they get voted the best every year by the local papers. Very inexpensive and large menu. Sylvia's La Canasta in Phoenix - Several locations. Family style Sonoran food with locations ranging from small taco stand to nice sit down restaraunt. She has a great cookbook out, and you can pick it up at some of the locations for much less than buying in a store.These are only a few of the great Mexican Food places out here, if you are looking for a particular dish or style of Mexican food, let me know and I will see what I can come up with.I hope this helps!Jacqueline

Is there anywhere like Miguel's in Phoenix.[/quHi,I was born and raised in Phoenix and all of my family and friends loved Don's Valle Luna. Whenever we had family come into town from out of state they would want to go to Don's Valle Luna to eat. A matter of fact, a couple of times we had to freeze dry mexican food and send it next day mail to them. Hope this helps.

I've done more to the new motor in the last two days than in the previous six weeks. There are some new pics up on page 2 of my Cardomain (link in sig), and I also added a page covering my SN95 brake upgrade. This is what the motor looks like at this very moment: Leave me some feedback on the page if you get a chance, nobody ever seems to. Brian

Fairly normal stuff, but hard to handle on top of my current frustration level about dance. Argh!

The trouble with country life is the sheer exhaustion of it. Ambridge reminds me of that Matisse poster for the Russian exhibition. Five nude dancers are cavorting in a circle. Four of them are full of beans but one poor woman is being dragged along by main force. How I feel for her. "It's non-stop socialising in this village," as Shula's father-in-law said.
A plague of in-laws descended on Ambridge at Christmas and a certain tendresse has developed between Shula's father-in-law and David's mother-in-law. He offered her a posy of winter pansies, a touching reference to their elderly passion. All this is probably illegal though not, of course, in Norfolk.
On New Year's Eve the choice was between compulsory canapes at Ambridge Hall or a masked ball at Lower Loxley. This led to one of the jollier exchanges of the season. Nigel admiringly to Lilian: "You might have just stepped off the Rialto Bridge!" If you have just stepped off the Rialto, you are - no other word for it - wet. Even poor old Jack, who has lost the power of coherent thought, was hauled off to celebrate a wedding anniversary he couldn't remember. When they run out of things to celebrate, they invent them. Of these, Plough Monday takes the biscuit, surpassing even Stir-up Sunday. It involved David shepherding shivering clergy around his farm while Adam ploughed up a field of skylarks.
The charm of radio is that your liberated imagination gambols around the cast like a happy puppy. I see the high-flying lawyer, Annabelle, ("Mind like a razor and looks to kill for") as foaming like a cappuccino out of her Armani suit, while DS Collins, the well-spoken detective, is a dead ringer for Fabian of the Yard in his belted mac and snap-brim trilby. However, Kathy's malevolent rapist, Gareth Taylor, presents a difficulty. In my mind's eye, he always has a head like a turnip. I simply cannot account for this.

NetCoalition, a Washington, D.C.-based trade group representing over 100 Internet Service Providers (ISP) and other Web companies, sent a letter late Monday to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), to express concerns over the RIAA's online enforcement methods.
The letter is the latest round in the ISPs' efforts to fight numerous subpoenas from the RIAA. The recording industry has issued hundreds of subpoenas seeking information on Internet users suspected of illegally downloading copyrighted songs through Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-swapping networks, such as Grokster, Kazaa and Morpheus.
"There are understandable fears among many in the Internet community that the real purpose of this legal campaign is to achieve in court what the association has not yet been able to accomplish in Congress — to make Internet companies legally responsible for the conduct of individuals who use their systems," the trade group wrote in the letter addressed to Cary Sherman, the acting president of the RIAA.
In the six-page letter, NetCoalition Executive Director Kevin McGuiness expressed support for the music industry's right to protect its copyrighted material, but raised questions about the RIAA's tactics.
"Very little is known or understood about this initiative, how individuals are being targeted, what's being done with the information, who pays for compliance, or how this information is protected," McGuiness wrote.
McGuiness contended the RIAA's enforcement tactics would essentially force its members, such as EarthLink and America Online, to act as the "police of the Internet" for the recording industry's interests.
NetCoalition asked the RIAA whether it intends to compensate ISPs for costs stemming from identifying subscribers cited in subpoenas, and if the subpoenaed information would be used exclusively for the RIAA's lawsuits against individuals, or if the RIAA would share the information with other entities.
The trade group's letter comes a month after the RIAA — which represents music companies like Sony Music and Warner Music, among many others — launched a massive anti-piracy campaign to track down alleged violators of digital copyright laws.
Earlier this summer, the RIAA filed more than 1,000 subpoenas in the U.S. District Court in D.C., demanding that ISPs — such as Comcast Cable Communications, Verizon, SBC and its Pacific Bell Internet division, and EarthLink — and dozens of colleges turn over personal information of Web users suspected of copyright infringement.
NetCoalition is not the only group to challenge the RIAA's campaign.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boston College earlier this month requested a Massachusetts district court reject the RIAA subpoenas on the argument the recording trade group improperly filed the subpoenas. The two universities have refused to reveal the names of students accused of illegally downloading music from the Internet.
On Aug. 8, Massachusetts District Judge Joseph Tauro ruled in favor of MIT and Boston College, saying the subpoenas were invalid because the RIAA filed them with a court in Washington, D.C. The recording industry group in a press release called Tauro's decision a "minor procedural issue," but has not yet said whether it would resubmit the subpoenas in a Massachusetts court.
Commercial ISPs, like Verizon and SBC's Pacific Bell Internet, have also taken legal action against the RIAA. According to court documents, the companies contend that the RIAA's use of the "expedited subpoena" process — allowed under the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) — is unconstitutional and threatens individual privacy rights.
SBC spokesman Larry Meyer told the Online NewsHour the company's Internet division has filed a more "substantive challenge" to the RIAA's subpoenas in a San Francisco court. The date of the hearing has yet to be announced.
The DMCA "expedited subpoena" provision authorizes a copyright holder to obtain a subpoena from court clerks, without filing a lawsuit or obtaining judicial approval, and immediately compel the ISP, college, or other entity, to reveal the identities of Internet users accused of copyright infringement.
The recording industry, however, contends it is within its legal rights, calling the process the most effective tool to safeguard its copyrighted materials from Internet theft. The trade group has said the music industry loses $4.2 billion each year from "worldwide piracy."
So far, NetCoalition is steering away from taking aggressive legal action like SBC and Verizon. Instead, the Internet group is pursuing a more conciliatory approach with the recording industry by calling for a meeting with the RIAA to mitigate its members' concerns.
RIAA spokesperson Amanda Collins on Tuesday confirmed the recording industry group has agreed to meet with NetCoalition representatives to discuss its concerns over the music companies' legal assault on file swapping.
"We welcome the opportunity to sit down with anyone in the ISP community to discuss Internet piracy and how we can work together constructively," according to the RIAA press release.
"We look forward to dispelling some of the gross inaccuracies contained in the letter and hope that these ISPs will help to foster the legitimate online music marketplace."

Dungeon Siege - Editing Stats
+-----------------------+ Editing Multiplayer Character Stats +-----------------------+ WRITTEN BY HEAT Contents - 1) What You Need 2) Getting Starting and Doing the Job 3) Cleaning Everything Up 4) Final Notes Introduction : This is my fourth FAQ for Dungeon Siege. This FAQ includes how to edit your character's stats in multiplayer. I hope you enjoy my FAQ! ------------------------------------------------------------- W H A T Y O U N E E D ~=========================~ You will need three programs to do this operation. TankViewer TankCreator SkritPad These programs can all be downloaded at www.game-editing.com! How To Use TankViewer : TankViewer is simple to use and learn. It works just like Windows Explorer. Click the open button and find your ds[xxx] file and simply open it. Some files have been locked by other players and they cannot be opened! How To Use TankCreator : Be sure to have RTC.exe in the same directory you are using TankCreator. In "Simple" mode simply select the folder you want to use as your tank and put that in your Input, and simply make a name of a new file in a folder in your Output. On "Advanced" mode you can lock your tank (NOT RECOMENDED ON SAVE GAME FILES OR MAPS) name your tank, and other things like Multiplayer Transfer. How To Use SkritPad : SkritPad is self-explanatory. It is just a remake of NotePad but makes it a little bit easier to read skrit by highlighting things such as values in blue. --------------------------------------------------------------- G E T T I N G S T A R T E D A N D D O I N G T H E J O B ----===--------=====--------=====-------======------=====------== First you need to create a folder that's title is your save game file. Say.. if your save game file is Bob.dsparty, create a new folder named Bob. Now, open TankViewer and go into My Documents \ Dungeon Siege \ Save. You should see Bob.dsparty, now open it. Thats how we start on all save game files! Now, open the file called "party.gas" You should see many things such as your title and inventory. At the very bottom are your stats! Now, you may edit your stats in any way you want, but the values have to be valid or you might lose your character or all of their items (it happened to me while I was writing this). Now save all of your work and open TankCreator. Create your tank and your save game file with edited stats is complete! ----------------------------------------------------------------- C L E A N I N G E V E R Y T H I N G U P ~===========================================~ Now, its time to install the save game file and clean your act up. Copy your origonal save file just in case this doesnt work. You probably know what to do next, which is place the new save game file where the old one was. Time to test! Click on Multiplayer and then Network. If your character worked congradulations! If he didnt.. try again because you made something invalid. --------------------------------------------------------------- F I N A L N O T E S ~=====================~ Here are my contacts : E-Mail Address : email@example.com MSN Address : email@example.com =) AIM Address : Heat54911 Dungeon Siege ID : Jadeheat -- Character(s) - Heat Luthe NEW CONTACTS!!

Discussion in 'Strings' started by TW Staff, Oct 17, 2012.
Video review now available. Full written review to follow.
Jason, TW
Full written review now available:
Jason, TW
Man, you guys are really getting into string reviews! I like it
interesting AG likes stiffer polys...like cyclone and rpm blast.
thanks for the string review. also liking it.
I'm wondering how the tension maintenance is.. Love the reviews TW! Keep em comin!
Pretty much sums up my experience with the string (good balance of power, comfort, and spin at the right tensions).
Tried it first as a main in a hybrid with OGSM, didn't like it, too mushy.
Tried it in a full bed at the lower end of my tension spectrum where I was stringing BHBR (low 50's), didn't like it, too inconsistent (more balls flying on me -- felt like way too much dwell time unless I went to a full on upper cut stroke).
Finally decided to up the tension in the full bed to 60 and have been using that setup for about 6 months now. I usually play 2 - 3 hours per outing 3-4 times per week. I consider it a win if I can get 2 weeks out them before they pop (I have yet to cut out a set before they do). They definitely have a soft, kind of gummy feel to them. It's hard to explain, but it feels like it really grabs the ball (don't confuse this with pocketing or that bite feel you get with something like BHB7). The best way I can think of describing the feel is tacky. In a short court with half-speed full strokes, I get great dipping action. At 60lbs I think I found the feel I was looking for with just enough "easy" power for blocking back hard serves or balls that get me stretched on the court, good crisp feeling, and best of all, spin! I can't really speak on tension maintenance as I don't actively track the tension after each time out. I will say that in a full bed @ 60lbs and after 15+ hours of hitting, I very rarely have to adjust my strings.
If you haven't tried this string already, I think it's definitely worth a try (even at $13 per set). I was shocked and ecstatic at the same time when I saw TW doing 2 for 1 deals on the Sidewinder reels...definitely took advantage of that.
Poly's I've used in the past:
- Tecnifibre Spinfire
- Tecnifibre Redcode / Blackcode
- Babolat Pro Hurricane
- Babolat Hurricane Feel
- Babolat RPM Blast
- Lux Big Banger Orig
- Lux Big Banger Rough
- Lux ALU Power
- Lux Adrenaline
- Kirsch Super Smash Spiky
- Kirsch Competition
- Kirsch Spiky Shark
- Kirsch Helix
- Tourna Big Hitter Blue / Silver
- Tourna Big Hitter Blue / Silver Rough
- Tourna Big Hitter Black 7

The 2006 American Heart Association / American Stroke Association Council on Stroke Guidelines for Prevention of Stroke in Patients With Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic recommended that patients with cryptogenic stroke take antithrombotic drugs (i.e. aspirin) in order to prevent a second stroke. When a stroke patient is found to have atrial fibrillation (AF), the guidelines recommend oral anticoagulation due to its superior efficacy over aspirin for stroke prevention. Physicians can best optimize the use of medicines only if they can precisely and correctly diagnose a patient's AF. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the time to first AF by 6 months' continuous rhythm monitoring versus control treatment in subjects with a recent cryptogenic stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) without history of AF.

Success evidenced by second quarter collections in these markets which grew more than 26% sequentially
TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 27, 2014 — Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq:WIX), a leading global web development platform, announced today significant growth in key international markets – Brazil and Russia – as it continues to execute its localization strategy, delivering its market-leading technology to millions of small businesses, organizations and professionals worldwide.
Wix's localization strategy includes offering its design templates and customer support resources in multiple languages, implementing solutions that allow users to pay in local currencies and with local payment methods and localized marketing and distribution.

Wix's success is evidenced by significant growth in Brazil and Russia, where second quarter collections grew more than 26% sequentially.
"Serving over 52 million users worldwide, with more than half located in countries where English is not the primary language, has led us to tailor our offering to the specific needs of each market," said Nir Zohar, Wix.com President and COO. "It isn't enough to create a catch-all solution. A truly global platform needs to meet users' unique needs in multiple markets. By localizing the Wix platform, we're making our solutions more accessible than ever."

Not sure what a "drift" limo is....but apparently it'll cost $12,575.
Selling my Drift Limo. Lowered 120" stretch lincoln limo. 1993 Limo with 1997 body. Registered and clean title. All the bells and whistles, under car lights, interior leds, flat screen, inverter, 2x12" bass with amp. Thumps. Racing seats with 5 point harness, Jotto AR and Shotgun rack. PA with outside mic. Diffuser, shaved door handles. Shotgun included with transfer. Its not perfect but a lot of custom limo for the price. Serious inquires please. I'm very busy. Do not need to sell. Thanks .


text: Why with the update do I now have auto-aim? Before the update there was no auto-aim at all in team survival and now there is. People can now "lock-on" to you while you are behind walls. I know that not everyone has noticed the auto-aim but when you do you can't ignore it. This has now taken a lot of the skill out of the game, and now grenades arent as effective. You can't throw a grenade in front of somebody because it always auto aims at somebody. So my questions are: Why did ubi put it in, and are they going to take it out?

Con: Too often, cheating players were enabled by baseball elders hooked on juiced profits
As is often the case with small children who act up, the real culprits are not the spoiled brats themselves, but the adults who enable them�their parents, relatives, coaches and, sadly, all too often their teachers.
So it is with steroid use in Major League Baseball. Enhancement drugs have been a significant part of our national pastime since at least the early 1990s, but the people who should have slapped the miscreants� knuckles could only see profits in surrealistic home-run derbies that led to totals far-eclipsing such greats as Babe Ruth, Hank Greenberg, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays.
If we�re suddenly going to retroactively punish such prime suspects as A-Rod, Roger Clemens, Raphael Palmeiro, Mark McGuire, Manny Ramirez, Sammy Sosa, Miguel Tejada and Barry Bonds, shouldn�t we go after their money-raking enablers first? Someone in the grand old game must have had a clue back in May 1993 when Texas Ranger Jose Canseco�baseball�s answer to the Incredible Hulk�leapt against an outfield wall and had a fly ball carom off his head in a game against Cleveland.
Anabolic rumors already abounded about the muscle-bound Canseco at that point in his career�later embarrassingly confirmed by his 2005 book, �Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant �Roids, Smash Hits and How Baseball Got Big.� Yet baseball Commissioner Bud Selig preferred to look the other way, as did Canseco�s manager, Kevin Kennedy, and Rangers� co-owner George W. Bush.
Canseco later testified under oath before Congress that steroids were as common in baseball locker rooms in the late 1980s and through the 1990s �as a cup of coffee.� Selig finally mustered the courage to act in 2006, appointing the respected former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, D-Maine, to investigate baseball�s steroid problem. His voluminous report, released on Dec. 13, 2007, strongly linked 90 former and current major league stars to performance enhancing drugs�not just steroids but many other magical custom-blends.
Mitchell�s report gave baseball a great chance to clean up its act by taking strong actions against the offenders, but, unfortunately, it took little.
Indeed, it now seems willing to sweep such past violations of federal laws under an imaginary AstroTurf without ever apologizing to its fans for staging gaudy, but fraudulent travesties on Major League diamonds over the past three decades.
If truth be told, I suspect, it would prefer not even to put asterisks in its record books identifying the recent batch of steroid stars. Let the embarrassments slowly fade away�like the murky mists of human memories. Business as usual seems to be watchword as we approach the 80th annual All-Star game in St. Louis this Tuesday.
With the city�s famed Gateway Arch in the background, the game is assured a record-setting audience across the globe. It will be televised nationally by Fox Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and Sportsnet HD and around the world by Major League Baseball.
Representing the National League, although not starting, will be Houston Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada, who earlier this year pleaded guilty to federal charges that he lied to congressional investigators probing his use of performance-enhancing drugs. His punishment was a slap-on-the-wrist probation.
When Tejada�s name is announced at the start of the game, he�s likely to receive at least a smattering of boos from the crowd in Busch Stadium. Shaming rather than shunning baseball�s steroid users might be the best way to handle a difficult situation.
If that�s the case, Commissioner Selig and the owners, managers and athletic trainers of clubs where steroid-use was rampant, certainly deserve prolonged chorus of catcalls in St. Louis this Tuesday. They, after all, were the prime enablers in this sordid affair.
Such an outburst of righteous wrath�highlighted on global TV�just might signal the world that America�s fans are ready to take back their national sport.

It is unaged, pot distilled, 40% alcohol, clear as water, corn whiskey - about $40 at local package stores. The price is atrocious for unaged booze of any kind, but it is not a bad sippin whiskey, a bit raw, but at 80 roof mild enough to carry a pretty good flavor. I'm thankful for the gift but I dont think I'll be buying any for myself when there's so much really good stuff out there from Kenutcky and Tennessee for less than $40.Cheers, John

In case you missed it I have posted a name of one of the ladies that will be on the Bachelor 2014 with Juan Pablo Galavis on Bachelor Blog. (Rather than dump 5 or 6 unconfirmed names though we waited to cross reference things and this one is a for-sure contestant) Her name is Kylie Lewis. She is shown in the photo below to the right…
There are more pictures of her here . She's a model and bartender. I am sure you're overcome with surprise that she's not a Dr. or Lawyer. So here in this post we are also going to be sharing another name. A rocket scientist, dentist, or pro athlete you ask? I'll let you wonder for a few….
Nope she also a Bartender. Perfectly suited for the "Music and Sports" consultant named Juan Pablo Galavis! Physically speaking that is…
Did realize there is a little TM symbol besides the Juan Pablo Galavis Twitter account by his name? So just in case you were thinking about naming your first-born Juan Pablo Galavis you better think twice ladies.
Snarkcasm aside, here is the next lady in the "Who can sleep with Juan Pablo First" contest (otherwise known as the Bachelor TV Show)
Her name is Val Eredia. Val is a spring chicken at just 26 but still older than most of the ladies ABC cast for the show this season. It's a pool of models for the most part again. (Shocked aren'tcha) Perhaps the only thing different from last years ladies is this year they are nearly all sex'd up!
Val is a hottie as well. I am thinking a bit Latin as well but not sure yet?!
She also knows sign language which might come in handy in case non-verbal communication is needed this season on the Bachelor.
So in catfight between Kylie Lewis and Val Eridia, Kylie has a clear reach advantage but Val being short and a bit stalky makes her a wildcard. Evidently Val hangs out in old barns while Kylie is known to drape herself over cars.
It could go all either way folks and we maybe in for a 9 rounder. Let's have another look at the, 'Tail of the tape'

JAY May is set to return from injury for Billericay Town after playing in their midweek friendly with Chesham United.
Last season's top scorer played the final 20 minutes in Tuesday's game at New Lodge, and club owner Grant Gordon said he could be in the squad for tomorrow's visit of Havant & Waterlooville.
May's season has yet to get going after he was handed a three-match suspension for getting sent off in the opening day win over Truro, before suffering a niggling hamstring problem.
"He had no adverse reaction and it was good to see him back playing again," said Gordon.
"He's an important player for us, so even if we can have him on the bench, it will give us a boost."
Town have moved to solve their goalkeeping problem by bringing in 18-year-old Luke Bartlett on loan from Millwall after he impressed in a first-half outing against Chesham.
But they will be missing skipper Rob Swaine as he serves a one-match suspension after picking up five bookings.
Gordon said they were taking a look at two new centre backs on Thursday night.
Havant slipped back into the bottom three after a 1-0 home defeat to Farnborough in manager Lee Bradbury's first league game in charge on Saturday.
Billericay were excellent in their last outing – a 3-1 win over Dorchester – but Gordon said they won't be resting on their laurels.
He said: "Havant are second from bottom but three wins would put them top, so we won't be reading anything into that."
East Thurrock manager John Coventry says everyone is looking forward to their eagerly-anticipated FA Trophy clash at home to neighbours Thurrock.
Fans have debated which is the top side in the borough, but Coventry says he has no doubt.
He said: "I don't think there is any question – we have been the top side for years now.
"Thurrock have been in the higher league, but at the bottom of it, and they've had reprieves.
"We've been going up for the last three or four years and performing very well in the cups, and what have they done?
"So I don't think there's any question that we are the top team in the borough."
Danny Heale said he wants to fire Great Wakering to promotion after signing for the Essex Senior League side on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old Canvey striker has dual registered with Rovers to get some more game time.
It's a coup for Rovers to bring in a player who scored an Essex Senior League record of 46 goals last time he played at that level.
Heale said: "I called (Canvey manager) Steve Tilson and just said I need to get some games under my belt because if I am needed for Canvey I would not be sharp enough. And he agreed."
Heale, who's scored 32 goals for the Gulls since joining in 2010 from Concord, said he also had the chance to go to Ryman One North sides Witham Town and Aveley.
He said: "I chose Wakering because Dan Trenkel (Rovers' player-manager) is a good friend, I used to play with Dave Collins, and Richard Halle is there to get some game time from Billericay.
"So what I'd like to do is get fit and help them get into Ryman One North, and that would suit everyone.
"I'd like to thank Canvey fans because they've been terrific towards me, and if they do need me back I'd be happy to do that."
Heale will go straight in Rovers' squad for their trip to London APSA tomorrow.
Elsewhere in the Essex Senior League, Southend Manor host Sporting Bengal, Hullbridge Sports go to Bethnal Green, and Bowers & Pitsea welcome London Bari.
As the Echo went to press yesterday, Basildon United had still not appointed a new manager for their home game with Enfield 1893.
Canvey made it three wins on the bounce with a 3-1 victory over Margate on Tuesday, with in-form Bradley Woods-Garness bagging a hat-trick to become the top scorer in the Ryman Premier on seven.
Tilson said: "I don't think we've been playing any differently in the last few games, it's just a case of us putting our chances away.
"Bradley is enjoying his football, and I think you can see that, and he's also been helped by Louis Dennis coming in and doing well, because they've struck up a good partnership."
Tilson said he'll be putting out his strongest side for tomorrow's trip to Evo-Stik One side Uxbridge for an FA Trophy clash.
Jay Curran, Leon Gordon and James Hawes all face late fitness tests for the Gulls.
Concord are also in FA Trophy action, at home to Enfield Town. The Beachboys warmed-up with a 4-1 win over Romford in the league cup on Wednesday, with Jason Hallett, John Easterford, Jerome Walker and Harry Elmes on target.

Reviews forDouble-Decker Banana Cups
My Review
Average Rating
"Excellent. Used 2 cups of milk for the pudding, and 1 cup of the whipped topping. Found it to be creamier,less concentrated."
"My whole family LOVED this!!!"
"Very good, easy, and looks fancy. This is good enough for guests!"
"I took a chance and made this for our granddaughters, one of which always declared that she didn't like pudding. I knew she liked fruit, however so decorated the top with assorted berries. They both absolutely loved it."
"I used banana pudding and light whipped cream. I can't believe my child actually ate the banana slices! It's a miracle!!"
"These were so good. I also used fat free cool whip."
"I already make this dessert in a 9x13 pan, but I add crushed pineapple with the layer of banana and sometimes add coconut to the whipped cream. I use cooked vanilla pudding instead of instant.. (works better with the pineapple) My co-workers love it"

April 12, 1983
******************** ("Company") sells various goods subject to the Massachusetts sales tax. The Company assesses a handling charge when certain taxable items are returned for a refund.
You inquire about the sales tax result of imposing a handling charge on the rescission of a sale.
The sales price on which the sales tax is imposed is the total amount paid by a purchaser to a vendor as consideration for a retail sale. (G.L. c. 64H, § 1(14)). However, in determining the sales price there is excluded the amount charged for property returned by a purchaser to a vendor upon rescission of the sale when the entire amount charged is refunded either in cash or credit, and when the property is returned within 90 days from the date of sale. (G.L. c. 64H, § 1(14)(c)(ii)).
Based on the foregoing it is ruled that the Company may not exclude from its taxable sales the price of merchandise returned within 90 days for which less than a full refund is made; nor is the customer entitled to a refund of his sales tax payment in this instance.
Very truly yours,

ATLANTA --- Since the recession, troopers are parking their cars to save money on gas, and are catching more violations for drunken driving, seat belts and child restraint but fewer speeders.
Citations issued by the Georgia State Patrol for drunken driving have increased 37 percent in the four years since the start of the recession, according to figures obtained by Morris News Service on Wednesday.
Tickets for drivers without insurance increased 29 percent in the same period. Seat-belt and child-restraint infractions are also higher. However, speeding tickets are down by 25 percent.
Drivers' behavior might not explain all of it. The tight state budget might.
"We've asked troopers to conserve fuel where they can, and they have been good about doing so," said Gordy Wright, a spokesman for the State Patrol.
Troopers are parking their cars and conducting more stationary roadblocks. The change trimmed the average car's gas bill to $410 per month in the fiscal year that ended in June.
An estimated $2 billion shortfall in the budget for next year led patrol officials to ask for troopers to reduce spending further to $400 per month.
With more than 10,000 deaths nationally last year related to drunken driving, AAA is pleased to see the higher arrests, according to the auto club's Michelle Harris, the director of traffic culture.
Roadblocks can be a better way to see into a car to check on car-seat usage, she said. The visibility of a roadblock also spurs drivers.
"The roadblocks definitely give you that clear signal of what to do," she said.
Some attorneys who specialize in drunken driving cases say the increased arrests are a sign that troopers are catching more social drinkers who might be over the legal limit but whose driving wouldn't have been impaired enough to draw attention.

Can't get enough of Leonardo's legacy? Check out our store devoted to all things Da Vinci.
©2000 Sherwin B. Nuland; (P)2001 Books on Tape, Inc.
"Nuland's enthusiasm and knowledge make his story interesting and easy to read." (Seattle Times)
"Not enough art, in more ways than one"
This is an extraordinarily admiring biography of da Vinci, but the author's understandable admiration (particuarly for Leonardo's work in human anatomy) gets in the way. The best biographies let us experience the subject's life from his own point of view, so that as we see the various choices he makes we realize that we are actually watching the subject's own creation of self. Unfortunately, this book is not among the best biographies. Instead of presenting Leonardo the Renaissance Man, Nuland gives us Leonardo the 21st century man trapped in 15th century Italy. He seems not to relate to any of his contemporaries, and we get no sense that the burning curiosity within Leonardo was actually quite in keeping with the spirit of his age.
Furthermore, despite occasional references to Leonardo's studies in optics, astronomy, and math, we really only get to know his work in anatomy. Even his art is barely mentioned.
Hated it. He sais Leonardo is his hero, and that this book is about his genious, but he doesnt focus on the process of discovery, his passion, or how strongly he was pulled by his obsessions. Doesnt focus on his life at all. Just glosses over everything, and gives you little to admire. Goes over decades of accomplishments without naming them or explaining their genious.
He keeps reffering to his unfinished work on every page. Again, and again, but its ok, since everyone still thinks he's famous. As if THAT were the thing to amaze us.
This book misrepresents the power that was Leonardo da Vinci. The image he paints is one of an irresponsable, aloof slacker that had lots of potential, but nothing to show for it. He died a sad and unaccomplished UNLETTERED MAN.
if you want a REAL book to be awed and inspired by on ancient masters, try the unabridged version of "Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling"
"A really lovely book"
A fascinating introduction to Leonardo da Vinci. The narrator is great!

Here at Android Headlines, I'm the resident crazy Linux guy – okay so I might not be crazy but I run Linux wherever and whenever I can. I've been doing so since I was 15 or so and while that seems a little geeky, I was basically looking for something different, and I certainly got it. I'm more than happy with my use of Linux – Ubuntu and OpenSUSE atm if anyone's interested – and when it comes to tablets, I've always wondered about Linux running on them. I've been crazy enough to try Ubuntu on my HP TouchPad but it wasn't all that pretty.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
With a new tablet hitting shelves soon – for $100 – you'll be able to play around with Linux on tablets and still have your faithful friend, Android, come along for the ride. It's not all fun though as that $100 price tag comes with some trade offs and you'll certainly see them in the specs below:
- 7″ LCD 800 x 480
- Single-core 1.2 Ghz Cortex A8 CPU
- 8GB of Storage
- SD Card Slot
- WiFI
- 1.3MP front-facing camera
- 3300 mAh battery
So, as you can see – it's not all that rosy and your dream of a stunning Linux tablet is still far off. The two systems are configured to have Android on the internal memory and the Linux side of things will boot from an SD Card. Perhaps that opens it up for some tinkery, who knows? It's packing Android 4.0 and the Linux build has the KDE Plasma interface on top which is a lot more touch friendly than other desktop UIs on Linux. It's been a long time since I used KDE but, if you like eye-candy, it's got all you could want and it's not too dissimilar from how the Android launchers have worked on tablets since Honeycomb.
It's interesting to see something commercial coming from Linux on tablets – after all if it weren't for Linux we wouldn't have Android – even if it is a little bare and lacking on specs. Hopefully, this is the first many of these tablets a dual-core A15 version is to come soon, the A15 is said to run Ubuntu really quite nicely and I imagine with some tweaking these could become really great machines, even if they aren't going to replace your Nexus 7 any time soon.

Presidential Madness (Round 1): Favorite historical secretary of state
Here at Constitution Daily, madness in March doesn't just apply to the NCAA—it's also an excuse to give the bracket treatment to the executive branch of government. That's right, it's time for Presidential Madness.
This March, help us pick the best presidential Cabinet of all time—the top public servants who have guided the leader of the free world for more than 225 years, from George Washington to Barack Obama, courtesy of the system set up by Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
Join Presidential Madness!
Get into Presidential Madness by downloading a bracket [PDF] and predicting who you think will make it to the finals as best Cabinet member of all time. Check in and vote each day at Constitution Daily for the latest round of polling.
Round 1: Historical secretary of state
Today's vote is one of the toughest of our two-week contest: the best secretary of state before 1900!
In the early days of our country, the secretary of state was the second most powerful person in the U.S. government and often became the next president (at least until Andrew Jackson came along). James Buchanan was the last secretary of state to eventually become president.
Other secretaries from the early years included John Marshall, John Jay, James Monroe, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, James Blaine, and John Hay.
Here are the five nominees for best historical secretary of state, along with a quick bio of their time in office:
1. John Quincy Adams. Served 1817 – 1825. A better secretary of state than president by most accounts, Adams acquired Florida and established the Monroe Doctrine during his eight years at State.
2. William Seward. Served 1861 – 1869. Steered the State Department for two presidents, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, in times of war and reconstruction.
3. Hamilton Fish. Served 1869 – 1877. Reformed the State Department and handled many delicate international situations during the Grant administration.
4. Thomas Jefferson. Served 1790 – 1793. Founding Father, minister to France, and George Washington's first secretary of state, Jefferson left office after arguing with Alexander Hamilton.
5. James Madison. Served 1801 – 1809. As Jefferson's secretary of state for eight years, Madison helped arrange the Louisiana Purchase and maintain the peace with Europe.
Pick your favorite in our poll below, and check back each day for the latest Presidential Madness vote!

Athletes commonly have a love-hate relationship with nuts. They love them, but try to stay away from them. "I don't dare keep a jar of cashews in my house. I'd end up eating them all and gaining weight," complained one rower. Although she knows nuts are healthful and good for her, the over-ruling perception is nuts are "sooooo fattening."
While nuts are indeed a calorie-dense food, the good news is nut-eaters are not fatter than people who avoid nuts (1). That's because nuts are satiating; that is, they stay with you and keep you feeling "fed." A woman-size handful of nuts (150 to 200 calories) for an afternoon snack often ends up being lower in calories than the 100-calorie pack of crackers that leads to another and yet another 100-calorie pack because you are still hungry. Snacks like crackers, pretzels and rice cakes fail to keep you satiated because they lack fiber, protein and fat —and that's what nuts have to offer.
A study with overweight teens highlights this point. The students were part of "The Family Lifestyle and Over-weight Prevention Program" in Houston, TX (2). The teens were given a healthy after-school snack to help improve the quality of their diet: nuts and peanut butter along with fruits and vegetables (such as apple slices with peanut butter, baby carrots dipped in peanut butter, trail mix with peanuts and dried fruits). These snacks replaced the former popular choices of chips and snack cakes. The kids lost weight and kept it off—and equally important, they liked the snacks. There's no denying a plain apple may seem "boring" and unpopular because it is not substantial enough to satisfy afternoon hunger. But add some peanut butter, and that apple becomes a welcomed treat!
When the afternoon munchies strike, I invite you to "go nuts" (in moderation) and observe the benefits of eating a handful of nuts. You may well discover you are less hungry for a longer period of time. While a few rice cakes may fill you for half an hour, a few nuts might last for two and a half hours (3).
If you are afraid the "handful" will turn into a "jarful", remember the best way to take the power away from a "trouble food" is to eat it more often. That is, if you end up overeating nuts (or any food, for that matter), you may be thinking "I just blew my diet by eating some almonds, so I might as well eat the whole jar to get rid of them. Then, I can get back on my diet." Or, if you are at a social event and end up eating too many peanuts, you might be thinking "This is my last chance to eat peanuts before I go back on my diet. I'd better eat them all now because I shouldn't eat them ever again."
The solution to over-eating nuts is to change your relationship with them and acknowledge you like nuts: "I enjoy nuts so much, I'm going to eat them more often—at every meal and snack!" That way, you eliminate your fear of being denied of this favorite food. You won't have to eat the whole jar, because another jar will be waiting in the pantry. While this might sound scary to overeaters, the reality is, after three days of eating nuts at every meal and snack, you likely will be content to cut back to enjoying nuts once or twice a day (or week) and no longer will they have any power over you.

Growth in corporate-NGO alliances driven by cash and credibilitySeptember 2011
UK corporations intend to increase their investment in NGO partnerships during the next three years, despite the weak economic outlook.
And the credibility of such collaborations, from campaigning to charitable donations, is stated as the main driver of the trend.
These are the findings of the Corporate-NGO Partnership Barometer, a new annual research tool from CSR consultancy C&E.
Four-fifths of respondents to its survey of 156 leading UK-based businesses and non-profit organisations expect investment in partnerships to grow, while none felt it would decline.
The principal motivations are reputational for companies and financial for NGOs. However, the survey claims there has been a 'clear shift' toward more strategic partnerships in both cases.
One of these, a collaboration between Marks & Spencer and Oxfam on a 'clothing exchange', where customers receive vouchers for donating clothing to the charity, was named as the 'most admired' partnership around.
Other notable partnerships named in the report include a vaccine donation system for purchasers of Pampers nappies, and Sainsbury's Comic Relief campaign.
Nevertheless, there are still conflicts between the two sectors. Charities want to see much more cash than 'expertise', and businesses are far more enthusiastic about the benefits of employee volunteering than NGOs.
C&E chief executive Manny Amadi said: "The prominence of major consumer-facing retail companies and brands reflects not only their focused approach, but also their preparedness and ability to invest in strategic partnerships, including in their promotion and marketing."

ENDANGERED New Forest outfit Bashley WILL compete in the Southern League next season.
A group of four life vice-presidents are understood to have saved the financially stricken club from folding.
It is thought that Ray Pinney will team up with fellow ex-chairman Trevor Adams, Pat Bowering and June Breckon to save the 67-year-old club from extinction.
Chairman Mike Cranidge politely declined to identify the "two or three" members set to join Bashley's executive or the "five or six members" who have pledged funds to keep Bash going just days after a three-strong consortium – headed by former AFC Totton official Nick Ferguson – withdrew their interest.
An official club statement released by Claridge explained: "Following the provision of an affordable budget for 2014/15, a process is now under way to fill vacant executive positions from within the club and, thanks to the success of our money-raising activities, funding is now in place.
"As the criteria of the resolution passed at the recent EGM are now being met, I am delighted to inform you that Bashley FC will continue to function as a football club and as a member of the Southern League."
Cranidge added: "The budget will be based on income, one or two good commercial interests and we also have members who are willing to put in small, but regular, amounts to help us along."

Missouri River Energy dedicates wind energy project
Missouri River Energy Services -- which provides power to Detroit Lakes -- held dedication ceremonies May 29 for a wind energy project near Marshall.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who spoke at the event, congratulated the project developers and MRES on the successful completion of the project and called for Americanization of the region's and the nation's energy program and a diversification of its energy portfolio.
Other speakers included State Rep. Marty Seifert, State Sen. Dennis Frederickson, and a representative from the office of U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, as well as representatives of MRES; project developer Geronimo Wind Energy of Edina, Minn.; and general construction contractor John Deere Energy of Johnston, Iowa.
The Marshall project consists of nine wind turbines capable of producing 18.7 megawatts of energy. The energy produced at the site could power about 6,500 homes.
MRES will purchase all of the energy produced by the Marshall project as well as from another wind generation project near Odin, Minn. The Odin project, slated to go online in June, will feature 10 two-megawatt wind turbines.
Geronimo Wind Energy also is the developer of the Odin Project, while Edison Mission Energy of Irvine, Cal., is the general construction contractor.
"Developing wind is a very important part of our plan to meet our members' future energy needs," said MRES CEO Tom Heller. "The Marshall Project along with Odin and our existing wind generation at Worthington, Minn., will get us to nearly 12.5 percent of our Minnesota sales being provided by wind energy in 2009."
The State of Minnesota has established a renewable energy standard calling for utilities to derive 25 percent of the energy they sell in the state from renewable sources such as wind by the year 2025.
Both the Marshall and Odin projects qualify for the Minnesota's Community-Based Energy Development program (C-BED), which Pawlenty recommended and the Legislature established in 2007 to optimize local, regional, and state benefits from renewable energy development and to facilitate widespread development of community-based renewable energy projects throughout the state.
The Marshall project is the state's second approved C-BED project. The Odin project will be the state's third C-BED project and will be the largest to date.
"Gov. Pawlenty has set a goal of 800 megawatts of C-BED in the state by 2010," Heller said. "The MRES share of this goal is a little over 10 megawatts. With the Marshall and Odin Projects, we will be over three times our share of C-BED.
Gov. Pawlenty explained that the C-BED program allows citizens to be entrepreneurs with ownership in these projects. He also said projects such as these will bring capital investments back to Greater Minnesota.
MRES provides wholesale electricity and energy-related services to its 60 member municipalities in the states of Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Each MRES member owns and operates a local electric distribution utility.

Richard Peddie does not know what Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber will say today when addressing Toronto's future bid for a new team, but the president of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. isn't fearful of bad news.
In response to several media inquiries since MLSEL got in the hunt for an MLS club to play out of the proposed York University Stadium in 2007, Garber has said he will discuss Toronto's situation today with the media.
"We've exchanged credentials with Don and we're on good terms," Peddie said. "I didn't realize he was going to speak, but maybe he heard about the stories regarding us and the Toronto Lynx."
The Lynx, one of three Canadian teams in the United Soccer League, is upset at the Canadian Soccer Association for backing the MLS push for York in what the Lynx thought was going to be its new home stadium.
Peddie thought a key part of the MLS's eventual decision on a Toronto team would be whether the league thinks it's ready to go beyond the American border.
But the MLS, which launches its 10th season on April 2, has become more financially viable. Although two teams folded last year, the league has launched two other teams to bring the league back to 12 teams overall. The MLS intends to have from 18 to 20 teams by 2010.
The league's best-known player might be Freddy Adu, who joined the league in late 2003 as a 14-year-old and plays for D.C. United.
Garber, 47, took over as commissioner at the end of the 1999 season after he spent 16 years in various marketing positions with the National Football League. Along with Toronto, possible new franchises are being considered for Cleveland, Houston, San Antonio and Seattle.
"(With) the fact that there are more fans turning out to games, more games on TV, more sponsors spending money and more stadiums being built," Garber said, "the international clubs are looking at this league and saying: 'Boy, maybe this is it. After all these years trying to capture the U.S. opportunity, maybe these guys (MLS) have figured out how to grow the market.' "

i ordered quite a large amount of clothing (10 items including 2 pairs of shoes) so i completed my orders in 3 separate transactions.
i purchased and ordered all of these transactions at the same time yet i had a week between one of the orders from arriving, there 3-5 day delivery time is a lie!!!
i then unwrapped my products and found that 2 of them were completely wrong! i had ordered some black heeled shoe boots size 5 and received some white trainers sized 8! i also ordered a jacket size 10 and received one that was size 22 on the label!!
i contacted boohoo and they said i had to ship them back to them and but the products again!!
my argument to this was that i then had to pay for the postage to send the products back to them and the postage to receive my items again as they only wanted to refund me the prices of the items! i would have been out of pocket for about £8!!!
they did not see the issue i was having with these demands as the in corrections were not my float!!
since then i have not ordered from them! they have have cheep ish products but i would strongly recommend eBay, Amazon, or Asos who are lovely when you have complaints and give you free delivery.

Unanswered: transaction log - available data
I want to construct an audit process that leverages on the existing replication mechanism. Since I can modify the stored procedures called in the subscriber database I know that this is possible. However I also want to log the user that made the changes. I cannot find any information as to whether this is available from the transaction log. The only way that I can think of keeping track of who made what change is to have a field in every table I want to audit that gets updated using a trigger. Is there any documentation regarding the transaction log and what is accessible?

With SQL 6.5 you had access to SYSLOGS, which you could read, see posting Reading Transaction Logs.
After that SQL Server now stores logs in .LDF files. To track data modification you could using triggers as you suggested or turn on SQL Profiler to audit data access and have the output written to disk. At our site we have about 2000 users and we have a nightly job that starts up SQL Profiler using xp_trace procedures to define the trace and set the output to be a new file each day YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.trc. There seems to be little added stress if any, we average about 2 txns/sec, with an avg. response time of 0.02 sec. However everything we do is through stored procedures.
Either way each user must have there own userid if you want to know who exactly did the modification, which isn't straight forward when the application is through IIS.

transaction log
Thanks for the info. Yes, I did find what you mentioned about the transaction log. We are using SQL Server 2000. I think for now I am just going to create shadow tables and use triggers for update and delete to see what data was changed and by whom. What I need is not only who did the change and when but also the actual data that was changed. That is why the replication would have been perfect if somehow I could also see who made the change from the transaction log. My idea of having a field in the table that enters the user that made the change will not work for a delete. The user info that comes accross to the replication agent is what is in the row that was deleted not who actually did it.

I desperately needed a new car, and had no spare cash to purchase. I had a look online and decided to try Car Finance 24/7. I was put through to a lovely guy who couldn't do enough for me!! The advisor was absolutely brilliant! He found a finance company for me, found me a car and even arranged to have it delivered to my address for me!! The car was mine in under a week. It was exactly what I was after; low petrol costs, low tax and low insurance. Couldn't be happier with the car and the service I received!! Perfect!! Couldn't be faulted!!

Emmanuel "Manny" Ross, 89, St. Augustine, died Feb. 26, 2004, at the Samantha Wilson Care Center at BayView.
Manny was a lifelong resident of St. Augustine, attending Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind. Manny worked for the U.S. Postal Service, and after 27 years, retired. He is remembered for his news stand in the local post office, where he knew everyone by name and showed up every day for work -- rain or shine.
Manny was a member of Ashlar Lodge No. 98, F&AM, for over 50 years, a member of the Scottish Rite of Jacksonville for over 50 years, a member of the St. Augustine Shrine Club and a lifelong member of Congregation Sons of Israel.
He was preceded in death by his sisters, Jeannie Feigenbaum, Anna Payne and Esther Wexler.
He is survived by his nieces, Beatty Ostrow, Omaha, and Florine Gutstein, Fort Lauderdale; his grandnieces and nephews, Rene Naughton and Sharon Smith, both of St. Augustine, Stash Ostrow, Fort Lauderdale, Jeffrey Ostrow, Hollywood, Alan Payne and Jacaquline Payne, Jacksonville, Ralph Kaplan, Los Aptos, Jack Granick, New York, Ronnie Granick, Baltimore, Janet Gutstein, Miami; great-grandnieces and nephews, Heather Naughton Goins and Patrick Naughton; and a great-great-grandnephew, Gabriel Naughton.
Manny had a passion for his music -- classical music was his favorite. His classical collection was one that was admired by many and one that he treasured.
He will be remembered by many as "the man who rode all over St. Augustine in his chair." Even though Manny could no longer walk, he still visited his friends by wheelchair.
