Electrophoretic gel patterns of endonuclease restriction digests of mitochondria! DNA (mtDNA) isolated from oat (Arena sativa L.) cultivars and other Avena spp. were examined for banding pattern differences indicative of cytoplasmic diversity. A knowledge of oat cytoplasmic diversity would he useful for assessing vulnerability of cultivars to pathogens, for elucidating phylogenetic relationships among Avena spp., and in testing for nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions favorable to increased plant growth. The restriction enzymes Xhol, Pstl, BamHl, and HindIII were used to digest mtDNA isolated from 7-d-old etiolated oat seedlings. Among eight cultivars, variations in mtDNA patterns were observed for one band in Xhol, Baml, and HinDall digests and two in PST digests. Exploit wild oat lines, including three A. strolls L. and two A. fatua L. accessions, had mtDNA patterns very similar or identical to the cultivars. Patterns of two AABB genome tetraploids, A. abyssinica Hochst. and A. barbata Pott, and two AA genome diploids, A. strigosa Schreb. and A. canariensis Baum, Rajhathy et Sampson, differed from A. saliva 'Victory' by two to six bands, depending on the species and endonuclease. The CC diploid A. ventricosa Bal. cytoplasm mtDNA digest differed in at least 10 to 12 bands from the Victory mtDNA pattern. The AA and CC results are consistent with the idea that the cytoplasms of the hexaploid and tetraploid oats are derived from an AA-genome and not a CC-genome Avena diploid progenitor. The different mtDNA banding patterns of the diploids and tetraploids compared to the hexaploids indicate that the lower ploidy species may serve as a source for introgressing increased cytoplasmic diversity into hexaploid cultivated oats.

Is there a way to find the list of open periods? from the database or from the applicaiton.
Hi Bab,
SL has a soft close which allows users to post back to closed periods. So the fiscal periods in SL aren't really marked as open or closed. SL is more concerned as to what the current period is. The current period is considered the "open" period".
If you are using a hard close application, then you would need to consult with the manufactuer of that application.
Carolyn, Thanks for your comment.
Is that mean there is only one "Open Period" on the system, since there is only one current period?
This is what i was trying to do:
When a user create a new batch during the voucher entry , Per to Post is defaulted to the current default Period. I am trying to find the list of open periods that havent been closed yet. so a user can create a batch in a period other than the defualt period but one thing I noticed that SL allows to create a batch even in a close period? Is this correct? This is strange?
Please explain if you have any insight. Thanks.
There is one current period. You can post to any period in the past that is within the retention periods set in GL Setup. When you close a period, the system changes the period in the setup tables so that the current period shows by default on the data entry screens. The closing process in some modules also moves ending balances of one period to establish beginning balances for the next period. But any of the periods that went through the closing process can be posted to. That's just how SL functions.
Thanks Carolyn, That is very helpful.
Yes, but does SL allow you to lock periods so users can no longer post to them. Most software solutions do not require a hard close or even a monthly soft close for that matter. But they do allow locking of periods so staff can not post to any period they want in the past.
Hello George,
Yes depending on which version you have installed. Starting with version 7.0 FP1, there are some posting options in the GL Setup screen which allow you to prevent users from posting to closed periods.
Thank you, we will be upgrading in March. Can you tell me does it allow you to lock or prevent postings on a period by period basis or just all or nothing.
Hi George,
It's an all or nothing type of thing - all periods all modules. In our next release of SL 2011, there will be this functionality by module. That release should happen late in 2012.
There is a hard close add-on utilitiy from third party provider IronWare.

Tristan Richards, 22, and Kemo Porter, 19, were given minimum terms of 35 years and 25 years respectively after setting the house alight in a bungled revenge attack.
The pair were convicted at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday after a trial that revealed their "misguided and impulsive" arson attack was intended to avenge the fatal stabbing of one of their friends, 20-year-old Antoin Akpom.
But they mistakenly set fire to the wrong house and Shehnila Taufiq, who was in her 40s, her 19-year-old daughter Zainab and sons Bilal, 17, and Jamal, 15, all died as the blaze ripped through the house in Wood Hill in September last year.
On Monday, Shaun Carter, 24, was found not guilty of four counts of murder over the blaze, but guilty of four counts of manslaughter.
Nathaniel Mullings, 19, Jackson Powell, 20, Aaron Webb, 20, Akeem Jeffers, 21, and 17-year-old Cairo Parker were all also cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter.
Carter was sentenced to 15 years, while Mullings was ordered to serve 15 years in a young offenders' institution.
Webb, Powell and Jeffers were all sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Parker was given eight years detention on account of the fact he was under 18 years of age.
When he was convicted there had been tears from the public gallery and cries of "he's only a baby!".
The trial against all eight defendants heard how they had intended to attack the house of another man they believed was involved in the death of Mr Akpom.
But they got the address wrong and mistakenly poured petrol through the letterbox of the Taufiq family before setting it alight.
The Taufiq family, originally from Pakistan, had a home in Ireland for 15 years before the children moved to the UK with their mother five years ago, to receive an Islamic education.
After their deaths, the children's father, Muhammad Taufiq al Sattar, a surgeon working in Ireland, said he would "deeply miss" his "beautiful" wife, daughter and two teenage sons.
Speaking outside court after the sentencing, Dr Taufiq said: "I'm satisfied at the sentence and I accept everything.
"My family is with me 24/7 spiritually and these are the main motives for me. My own belief, religion, my God and my family are with me and these are the main motives for me to continue which I have been doing for the last nine months and will continue until my last breath.
"I'm going back to Dublin tonight where I will continue working at the hospital as well as helping at the community centre."
Dr Taufiq said he would be selling the family home, which had been uninsured at the time of the attack.

Virtual babies, jars of tobacco and distorting spectacles were just some of the unusual items used to promote good health.
Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Trust has collected 2,500 items in its health resource library, based in Church View, Clay Cross, all designed to improve patients' well-being.
A spokesperson for the library, said: "We have a lot of useful aids here, as well as information on managing many different conditions and health promotion tools.
"It has taken years to build up such an extensive resource library, drawing on the best tools and health advice out there.
"Our aim is primarily to support NHS staff in their day-to-day care of patients."
DVDs, CD roms, games, teaching packs, leaflets and posters and video/audio aids are among the aids available for loan.
The quirkier aids include "drunk and dangerous" glasses to show the effects of alcohol on impairing judgement, tobacco tar to help with stop smoking sessions and virtual babies to give a taste of parenthood to young people.

'Backpack' programs feed kids in need
PERHAM -- A Perham fourth-grader shared a nagging worry with his school counselor during Thanksgiving week.
A mysterious well-wisher had been slipping a weekend's worth of meals and snacks in the boy's locker with striking regularity each Friday. But the last day of school that week was Wednesday. It looked like the boy wouldn't be getting his delivery, which he shared with a preschool-age brother at home.
The counselor reassured the boy the food would arrive Wednesday - twice as much as usual for the long weekend.
Perham is one of several area Minnesota communities that started "backpack" programs this school year to tide over youngsters who might rely on school meals during the week. On Fridays, food deliveries discreetly make their way into the backpacks of students in Detroit Lakes, Frazee and Lake Park-Audubon.
"You kind of feel like Santa Claus sneaking the food in there," said Liz Swanson, a Perham volunteer who related the Thanksgiving week story.
The United Way of Becker County piloted the Food for Thought project in Detroit Lakes before launching similar programs in LP-A and Frazee last month. The impetus, says Director Luanne Porter, came from teachers, who were spotting telltale signs on Mondays: kids gobbling down breakfasts and lunches, asking if teachers had snacks stashed away and spacing out in class.
"Teachers told us kids were coming to school literally starving," said Porter. And, "If your belly is growling, that's the driving force in your life."
Meanwhile in Perham, a group of church volunteers launched their own program and lined up more than 50 community sponsors pitching in $144 a year per child.
The BackPack Program is an initiative of Feeding America, the national network of food banks, and the North Country Food Bank in Crookston, Minn., ships the contents of the Friday deliveries. Kids get nonperishable, easy-to-prepare food: shelf-stable milk, cereal, peanut butter, spaghetti-Os, easy mac and cheese, granola bars and fruit cups.
United Way sponsors the program for as little as $3.20 a week per child, or, as Porter puts it, "for the price of a latte."
The programs generally use free- and reduced-price lunch eligibility and input from teachers and counselors to determine which children would benefit most.
"Many of our families have had significant changes in their incomes because of hours cut or jobs lost," said Jennifer Heggestuem, an LP-A counselor. A number of Detroit Lakes-area manufacturing companies laid off workers last year.
In LP-A, teachers load the packages into backpacks when their class is off to the gym or music room. In Perham, volunteers deposit food in kids' lockers.
"We don't want to embarrass the children or single them out in any way," says Susie Novak of the North Country Food Bank.
Swanson, the Perham volunteer, got caught once.
"Hey, what are you doing in my locker?" asked the boy and, when she explained, he inquired if she could swap out the fruit cups for bacon.
Other than that peeve, response to the programs has been approving. One Perham third-grader is still so delighted with the food deliveries that she shows them off to her teacher every Friday.
"Teachers are telling us students are more wide-awake; they participate more in class," says Porter. "They tell us, 'Billy pays more attention in class,' or, 'Susie doesn't seem to be as wiggly in her seat.' "
Novak said other communities have expressed interest in starting their own backpack programs, but some are still working on securing funding. Meanwhile, lakes country coordinators are brainstorming ways to keep their programs going during the summer.

Food for thought
The idea of slipping weekend food supplies into children's backpacks goes back to the 1990s, when an Arkansas school nurse asked a local food bank for help. Students were showing up in her office on Monday with food-induced dizziness and tummy aches.
Other food banks adopted the idea over the years until Feeding America, the national food bank network, endorsed the BackPack Program in 2006. The initiative has gained much traction recently as the recession trained a spotlight on food insecurity.
Last year, "Desperate Housewives" actress Marcia Cross and the host of the hit series "The Biggest Loser" Alison Sweeney lent star power to local program launches.
In 2009, some 3,600 backpack programs served more than 190,000 children nationwide.

Last year, 13 of the most gorgeous ladies of tinsel town, viz., Yana Gupta, Aditi Govitrikar, Pooja Bedi, Sonali Kulkarni, Tupur Chatterjee, Sayali Bhagat, Nethra Raghuraman, Anjana Sukhani, Dippanita Sharma, Payal Rohatgi and Meghna Naidu had a ball of a lifetime with superstar Akshay Kumar a.k.a Khiladi Kumar as their host in the most adventurous game show on the telly land called 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi', a show whereby these gorgeous ladies were subjected to the most meanest of tasks, in which some won whereas others 'chic-kened' out! The final winner of last year turned out to be model-actress Nethra Raghuraman.
This year too, Akki is back with yet another set of 13 contestants (read 'bevy of beauties') viz. Bruna Abdullah, Sushma Reddy, Carol Gracias, Jesse Randhawa, Mandira Bedi, Nauheed Cyrusi, Rosa Catalano, Rupali Ganguly, Sonika Kaliraman, Shonali Nagrani, Pia Trivedi, Shveta Salve and Anushka Manchanda. Akki also adds that in the show's second season, everything will be twice the excitement and twice the danger.
Akshay in his own words says that the second season of the show has everything in double, right from gruesomeness till the excitement. Well, with everything being double, one would also assume that the suspense about the winner is also double. But, not when Bollywood Hungama and its most reliable sources are around! If our sources are to be believed (and we have every reason to believe them), then, the winner for this season is the ex-VIVA member and the singing toast of the season Anushka Manchanda. Looking at the way her career is going these days, this win will only add more glitter to her already glittering cap. Way to go, Anushka!

When Punishment Breeds Crime
The NY Times has an important article today about the extent to which ex-offenders are burdened by court costs. There have been some further comments on the issue here. I know what many folks will say: criminal offenders, not society, should pick up the secondary costs of their behavior. Clearly, it is appropriate for people who have money to pay for court costs and perhaps even the cost of incarceration. But most people who commit crimes are poor. So while justice may demand offenders to pay, common sense requires that courts be very careful in assesssing such charges.
There are at least two reasons why indigent offenders should be assessed minimal, if any, costs. First, as a practical matter, these individuals will take a very long time to pay up. In many cases, this means that they will remain on probation – with all the associated administrative costs – for longer than the sentence otherwise demands. (Probation often remains open until all costs are paid, irrespective of the underlying sentence.) Aggressive judges actually incarcerate offenders for non-payment when they find (sometimes incorrectly) that the offender had money but simply didn't share it with the courts. Incarceration is incredibly pricey. It's a reasonable expense to stop serious crime, but excessive when the only "crime" is a failure to contribute $100 to the public fisc.
A second problem with these fees, even for those who can marginally afford them, is that they can tip poor offenders over the brink. Among the poor, criminal convictions and incarceration create very dark economic futures. There has been some important literature showing that incarceration – and particularly the poverty that follows when offenders leave jail – damages offender communities and leads to further crimes spikes. This in turn leads to more incarceration. Ex-offenders are already saddled with a large bundle of economic and social sanctions, often termed collateral punishment or civil disabilities. They have trouble getting jobs, housing, licenses, and other things essential to earning a living. Earning a living, in turn, is typically a precondition for staying out of trouble. To the degree that these fees make economic survival more difficult, they are counterproductive: they produce crime.
This is not a bleeding heart versus tough love issue. It is a matter of pragmatism. Bernie Ebbers should share the costs of his trial and punishment if he has some cash lying about. But while there may be moral arguments for dunning the average John Doe, practical considerations suggest we shouldn't.

The question swirling around the Washington Redskins has shifted.
It is no longer, will Mike Shanahan be the coach next season? It's will he survive the week?
A day after an embarrassing 45-10 loss to Kansas City, and the smallest announced crowd in the 16-year history of FedEx Field, Shanahan tried Monday to stay on the topic of his 3-10 team's upcoming game at Atlanta. Instead, he was asked about an ESPN report that he was ready to quit after last season, and even cleaned out his office before the Redskins played host to Seattle in a playoff game.
"I'm not going to speculate through all those different things" he told reporters. "If you'd like to talk about Atlanta, I'll be more than happy to talk about Atlanta."
The Washington Post reported Monday that the Redskins are sorting through their options, among them firing Shanahan for cause and attempting to withhold the $7 million owed him for the final year of his contract under the premise that he leaked the wanting-to-quit report to ESPN.

The Town of Port Washington Board, which earlier this year questioned whether to allocate $750 to support Ozaukee Economic Development, on Monday agreed to contribute to the agency after a presentation by director Kathleen Cady Shilling. Town Board members were initially leery of spending the money, especially after finding out that Oldenburg Metal Tech Inc. was moving out of the township and into the Village of Saukville. The company's announcement came months after the town approved a change in its zoning code that paved the way for the firm to expand at its 3850 Hwy. KW location. "We found out they were moving through the newspaper," Supr. Jim Rychtik said — something he described last month as "disheartening." Town Chairman Jim Melichar noted that he had seen the company owner just days before the announcement, when officials believed the firm was expanding in the township. "I asked him how his expansion was going, and he never said a word (about the move)," Melichar said. Cady Shilling said the company's first choice was to expand on the site, but a neighboring property owner would not sell land to the firm. "They (company officials) had very good things to say about the town," she said. They plan to open a new business in the Town of Port building, Cady Shilling added. The firm still has some operations at the Town of Port building, officials noted, but nowhere near the business that had been there. Melichar asked how the town could get involved in similar situations to help prevent the loss of business. That's difficult, Cady Shilling said, noting that she is often bound by confidentiality requests not to talk about pending situations. Officials asked whether any businesses had expressed interest in locating in the town. "Right now, I don't have anyone who's interested," Cady Shilling said. The biggest deterrent for businesses looking at the town is the fact that it does not offer sewer or water service, she said. Once utilities are extended to the town, she said, officials may see a boom in business. Ozaukee Economic Development is a non-profit organization funded by governmental units and private contributions, Cady Shilling said. Sixth-percent of its funding comes from the county, she said. Virtually every municipality in the county also makes a $750 annual contribution to the group, except for the Town of Saukville, which has never funded the group, she said. The Town of Belgium has not always contributed, she added, and the Town of Fredonia provides $500 annually. The organization works to attract and retain businesses, as well as provide educational programs, administer the county's revolving fund loan program, encourage entrepreneurship and offer an annual career fair. Rychtik said he supports the group and the annual town contribution. The time is ripe for the organization to have an even greater impact on the township than in the past, he said. "I think the business climate is turning around," he said.
Members of the Port Washington High School athletic staff who nearly seven months ago expressed dissatisfaction with the Pirates' football feeder program — the Saukville Rebels — and warned that the high school coaches were prepared to field their own youth team said this week the two organizations are now working together to improve both programs. "Our plan is that the Rebels will continue to be a feeder program," Port High Athletic Director Thad Gabrielse said Monday. "There will always be things that we disagree about, but what we do agree on is that everything we're doing is for the benefit of the kids who play football. "I'd saying we're taking a positive approach to making this work." News in September of the rift between the two football institutions shocked the Port-Saukville football faithful, who for decades have supported the Rebels as fervently as they have the Pirates. At the time, Gabrielse said the Port High coaching staff was concerned that the Rebels were not doing enough to teach future Pirates the high school team's offense and defense and that there wasn't enough emphasis on football fundamentals. Beyond the technical aspects of the game, Gabrielse said in September, the Port High administration was concerned with the Rebels' philosophical approach to the game — how coaches deal with players and conduct themselves on the field and how playing time is divided among children. That shocked Larry Donohue, president of the 54-year-old Rebels program, which fields teams for fifth through eighth-graders. "I don't even know where that's coming from," Donohue said at the time. "We've never cut a single player from our program, and we've never turned a kid away because his family couldn't afford the registration fee. I always found a way to make sure those kids could play." Lending urgency to the concerns for Port High officials is declining participation in football. A total of about 80 boys played last season on the high school's freshman, junior varsity and varsity teams, significantly fewer than in the program's heyday. Now, however, many of those concerns are being addressed by both organizations, thanks, Gabrielse said, to Pirates' head football coach John Bunyan and his Rebels' counterpart, Al Lopez, who have been meeting regularly. "In the February meeting, the question of how to help increase the numbers (of players) at the freshman level was addressed," Gabrielse said. "We're focusing on how we keep kids interested and involved in football. "It's not that the Rebels were doing anything wrong, but our coaches have some insights based on what they see and hear. "And playing time is being addressed." Bunyan said the meetings between the coaches of the programs have focused on maintaining the identities of the two long-standing programs while bringing them together in terms of football mechanics and philosophy. "We've had a lot of talks, and they have been very productive in keeping the structure of the two organizations status quo but getting both programs on the same page in terms of offensive and defensive systems, positive coaching and keeping kids interested in football," Bunyan said. "Coaching football is a lot of work for youth coaches and my staff, but the good news is we're working with people who have their hearts in the right spot." Bunyan said Pirates' coaches and players will be more visible at Rebels' practices and games. He envisions high school players attending Rebels practices occasionally and holding additional clinics and events that bring players of all ages and coaches together on the field. "I want to build a community of kids excited about football," Bunyan said. "I want kids to have fun and stay interested in football." Donohue is pleased the two programs are working more closely but said he is still perplexed by the sudden breakdown in relations between the organizations last season. "To tell you the truth, I still don't know what happened last season," he said last week. "They (high school athletic staff members) apparently thought we weren't doing enough to match what the high school team was doing or we weren't doing it fast enough. "We really haven't changed a thing. Working with the high school has been an ongoing process for us. Our intention has always been to do what the high school does, which only makes sense since that's where our kids will play eventually. "Either way, everything seems fine now."
The "For Sale" sign is about to go up on Port Washington's newest condominium project — Harbour Lights Lakeside Condominiums in the former M&I Bank building in downtown. Developer Gertjan van den Broek said Tuesday that the sales office will open next week for the $6 million redevelopment project, which will add 13 high-end condominiums and 10,000 square feet of commercial space to downtown Port. To do that, he will redevelop the former M&I Bank and Harry's Restaurant buildings and build a third structure between them. Van den Broek said he will concentrate his marketing efforts on the residential spaces first, since the project is primarily a residential one. Without any aggressive marketing, he said, one of the east-side condos has already been spoken for and he has a list of 24 people interested in the condominiums. "We've had a very good response to the project," van den Broek said. Speaking to those potential clients, holding open houses for brokers and real estate agents and getting the project website up and running are the goals for April, van den Broek said. With open houses set for summer, he foresees the bulk of the presales for the project being completed this summer, with construction slated to begin in October and end by fall 2015, when residents can move in. In order to get banks to finance the project and the City of Port Washington to provide the development incentives it has agreed to, van den Broek must sell 60% of the project before construction begins. That's the equivalent of the six east-side condominiums, he said. The average price tag for those east-side condos is $695,000, van den Broek said, adding they average about 2,400 square feet. The seven west-side condominiumswill be priced from $250,000 to the $300,000s, range in size from 1,500 to 1,900 square feet, he said. Each condo has one underground parking space with opportunities for the owner to purchase a second spot. The views on both sides of the building are spectacular, van den Broek said. "The lake views are spectacular, but our west units are pretty phenomenal," he said. "Port's downtown is beautiful, so they offer great views too." Each unit has three upgrade packages that will allow owners to customize and individualize their condominium, as well as a white-box option in which the owner can design the unit. Van den Broek said the residential project will meet a need expressed by empty nesters in the area, a market that's borne out by market research. "Their ties are here, but we found there's no place for them to go except downtown Milwaukee," he said. "The other condo projects in downtown are for the most part full. They're significantly smaller. "What we have to offer is a different product." A big part of the project's appeal is Port Washington, and van den Broek is marketing the city as much as the project. "That's part of this project's appeal, the environment in which it sits — the beauty of Port Washington and how many good things are happening in Port Washington right now," he said. Van den Broek said the project would not be moving forward without the city's willingness to provide $1.75 million in development incentives. The incentives will be repaid to the city through the increased taxes generated by the project. "It was a game-changer," he said, noting it gave banks, investors and potential residents assurance that it will be built. "None of this would have happened if the city hadn't said it was willing to partner on the project. "When everybody's pulling in the same direction, it has a much greater opportunity for success," van den Broek said. "The only question now is whether Port's ready for the project, whether the economy's ready for the project. "And the only way to know that, to get the 60% in presales, is to market the project." For Van den Broek, Harbour Lights Lakeside Condominiums is the culmination of more than two years worth of work. He purchased the former bank building through Renew Port Holdings, a limited-liability corporation he set up to provide residents with a chance to pool their resources and invest in the community. Since the city approved incentives for the project, he said, five investors have joined the corporation, most of them residents of the city. "People see the project's moving forward, they see the city's on board, that this is clearly a public-private partnership, and they're more willing to invest," he said. While Van den Broek is concentrating on the residential aspect of the project right now, he isn't neglecting the commercial spaces. "Obviously, we've been speaking to people," he said. "We're being very selective about the type of tenants we want. We want to fill the spaces with tenants that will complement the residential aspect of the project, businesses that would fit with the city and the downtown."
Plans for a baseball complex on Port Washington's west side got a nod of approval from the city Plan Commission last week. The commission's approval sets the stage for Port Washington Youth Baseball to begin work on the $1.5 million complex, perhaps beginning construction on the first phase by the end of the year. Before that happens, however, the group must obtain the necessary funding and a grading agreement between the city and its Highway 33 contractor must be successfully completed. Games wouldn't be played at the complex until 2016, association officials said. The first phase of the project includes a concessions stand and the two largest fields — a regulation field and an intermediate sized field — as well as infrastructure. The overall complex would include four fields, a concessions stand with restrooms, parking, playground and a walking trail with fitness stations that would be built on city-owned land at the southeast corner of Highway 33 and Jackson Road. The concessions stand would be located in the center of the four fields — a regulation field, intermediate-sized field and two Little League fields. The complex would be bordered on the north by three commercial lots that would front Highway 33 and by residential lots on the east side that would abut the Bley Park Estates subdivision. Motorists would access the complex off Jackson Road and park on the north side, where there would be approximately 100 parking spaces, architect Mike Ehrlich said. A formal entry featuring donation bricks would be sited there, with paths leading to the diamonds and playground. A roughly half-mile-long walking path would go around the perimeter of the complex. Each field will have a scoreboard and bleachers, and they ultimately will be lit, Ehrlich said. Don Buechler, 1782 Second Ave., questioned why neighbors had not been informed about the project before the meeting so they could raise concerns. He said he believes the complex would result in additional noise, traffic and litter, and he is also concerned about light spilling over into the surrounding neighborhood. "It'll change my neighborhood significantly," Buechler said. "I'm concerned about the effect on my property value. I don't see it as enhancing it." Ehrlich said the baseball association plans to do landscaping to minimize the noise effect, and the fields have been located so the bleachers will face west, away from surrounding residential developments. The lights will have shields so most of the light will shine onto the fields and not spill out of the complex, Ehrlich said. Port Youth Baseball President Rich Stasik also noted that tournaments, when the fields will get the most intensive uses, typically end by 10 p.m. City officials noted that the land has been slated for recreational use since the city purchased it more than a decade ago. The complex is included in the city's parks plan, which was the subject of a public hearing. A memo of understanding between the baseball association and the city that outlined the plans was approved by the Common Council several years ago. Port Youth Baseball has raised more than $100,000 and is talking to community groups about funding and sponsorships. A fundraising campaign aimed at the entire community is planned.
The Port Washington Common Council on Tuesday doubled up its efforts to get grant money to repair the deteriorating breakwater. The city agreed to pay an additional $15,000 to Foth Engineering — doubling the funds it has already committed — in hopes of obtaining state grants that will supplement $950,000 allocated by the Army Corps of Engineers to repair the breakwater this summer. "What is now a $950,000 solution could become a $2 million to $3 million solution," Mayor Tom Mlada said, noting that while the work that will be done by the Army Corps this summer is only a partial fix for the breakwater. "This is our window of opportunity. We can't bank on the fact there'll be another $950,000 next year and $2 million after that," he said. Corps officials are willing to work with the city to maximize the work that can be done and coordinate it, he added. City Administrator Mark Grams said the $950,000 Army Corps allocation "is almost like seed money" that can be used to match any grants the city gets. The city can't afford not to take advantage of this, said Ald. Dave Larson, chairman of the Finance and License Committee. "It's opening the door for more grants," he said. "Now that we have this momentum, we certainly want to continue to move forward." Army Corps representatives told the city last week that it doesn't know how much it can achieve with the $950,000, Mlada said. It seems as if much of the project will be surface work, he said. The Corps plans to send a structural engineer to Port in the coming weeks to examine the breakwater and check the surface, face and sides to try and determine how much deterioration has occurred since last summer's inspection, he added. Even then, they may not have a clear picture of how much work is needed until the project begins this summer, officials said. "It's like exploratory surgery, where they go in and look around to find out what's wrong. They might not know until July, when they take the cap off," Grams said. "They don't know what exactly they'll find." The Army Corps said work is expected to begin in late July, Mlada said, which gives the city time to apply for additional funds for the project. "The challenge is that much of the work will happen during the height of the tourist season," he said. Grams said it is feasible that the city could obtain an additional $1 million to $2 million in grant money for the breakwater. That money could be used for such things as armor stone around the breakwater to protect it from erosion. "I think they (the Army Corps) would like to do armor stone, but I think the breakwater structure itself is the first thing," Grams said, adding armor stone is expensive. It's difficult to determine what grant funds would be used for, he said, because the city doesn't know exactly what the Army Corps project will entail, he added. The city's original $15,000 contract with Foth and SmithGroup JJR includes the preparation of one grant application. "Now that we know what programs are out there, we need to move ahead," Grams said. That's especially important because Port's breakwater is a low priority for the Army Corps, which owns the structure, Mlada said, noting the city is no longer a commercial port. While the original contract with Foth and SmithGroup JJR is being funded with marina funds, the extension approved Tuesday will be financed through the city's contingency funds. A portion of the grant funds obtained could be used to replenish the contingency fund, Larson said. Aldermen also approved an increase in the daily and seasonal launch rates at the marina, to $10 and $95, respectively. Any funds in excess of the $25,000 in budgeted revenue from each of these fees will be designated for breakwater repairs. The measure may not bring in much money this year, Grams said. "With the long winter we've been having, fishing is not going to be very good," he said, and that often determines how many launches occur. But it is a way to drive home the message to users of the marina that they have a stake in the breakwater issue, and to assure city residents that they are not alone in tackling the issue, Mlada said.

Buy fresh Brussels sprouts that are bright green and heavy for their size.
In a large, nonstick frying pan, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until soft and lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
In the same frying pan, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and saute until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until the Brussels sprouts are tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Return the shallots to the pan. Stir in the lemon zest and juice, the 1/8 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Serve immediately.

ZigBee Retail Services standard to focus on the retail experience
Post a comment
CAMBRIDGE, UK The ZigBee Alliance has started the development of ZigBee Retail Services, a new standard focusing on the retail experience from point-of-manufacture to point-of-sale.
This effort is expected to use the wide range of ZigBee's existing profile capabilities, fully leverage the advantages of ZigBee's open global solution set, and add significant new capabilities to improve the retail supply chain.
Focus on this key market area is expected to result in substantial new product and service opportunities. ZigBee Retail Services public application profile can be used across the retail sector.
The anticipated result for the retail market is a significant improvement in quality and supply chain management and efficiency, in addition to enhanced customer satisfaction. It will define applications for mobile terminals and offer plug-in modules to simplify adoption.
The ZigBee Retail Services public application profile will define a standard methodology for delivering a variety of services. This includes in-store information and collection, delivery, selection, data sharing with customers, in-store and mobile payment retail applications.
Location based services, tracking, arrival alerts and item location assistance will be part of the new services. Retail At Home, will establish a wireless network in customer homes for shopping, inventory levels, order availability and a sales process engine.
Retail Assistance Device offers support for voice capable employee and customer devices in a variety of retail environments.
Health Care will provide well being, drug interactions, refill orders, refill availability, alerts and recalls. Supply Chain Management will support warehouse management, cold chain management and inventory management providing end-to-end production to customer delivery.
Regulatory Compliance offers in-store security and monitoring, retail regulatory compliance and freshness tracking for food, pharmaceuticals and other perishables. Energy Management supports sensors designed to monitor and reduce energy consumption and improve total building management.
A number of innovative companies are engaged in developing the new standard which will be the alliance's seventh public application profile when completed. The ZigBee Alliance is a non-profit association of more than 340 members driving development of ZigBee wireless technology.

I say flat out that it is Debian's policy > that author's > intent is not sufficient. The way I'm reading what you wrote is like so: - Troll Tech releasing GPLed code that links to Qt is legal (because implicit permission is granted). - But it's against Debian policy to accept the license if it's not made explicit. Is that a correct summary? If so, I disagree. If point 1 was true, Debian wouldn't have grounds for point 2. I'm assuming point 1 is wrong where you don't. In a post to kde-licensing last night, you said: : Nobody here is going to question Red Hat should they include Qt Designer. : There is clearly and obviously no problem with doing so. Debian has a : policy problem with it though. You are effectively telling the world that implicit permission is fine and legal, but that we have some ungrounded (one could say random) policy against it. I disagree. Either we think it's legal or it isn't. Peter

Old Post Cottage is an end of terrace cottage, over looking the village green. It was originally a farm workers cottage built around 1860, latterly used as the post office and shop. The sitting room looks out across the village green, as does the main bedroom. The sitting room has a large comfy sofa and love chair. The dining room has a side board and extending dining table and 4 chairs. The kitchen is fully equipped and has a door leading out to the fully enclosed and lockable rear garden. The main bedroom has a double bed, 2 bedside tables with lights, wardrobe and chest of draws. The second bedroom has 3ft wide pine bunk beds, side table and shelf for top bunk with light and a wardrobe. One small well behaved dog accepted in this cottage.
These charming self catering holiday cottages are situated in the heart of the Kent village of Rodmersham Green, opposite the village pond, the village green and open countryside. The cottages were built in 1860 as farm workers cottages, Old Post Cottage later became the post office and village shop. Full of traditional features they are the perfect base for exploring Kent throughout the year. Both these luxury cottages have recently been refurbished. Each cottage has two bedrooms and are beautifully decorated, providing a calm and peaceful ambience, with a cosy sitting room and separate dining room. Old Post Cottage and Candy Cottage are both 4* rated and have been awarded Green Tourism GOLD award by the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS).
We run Green Cottages Kitchen; Baking and Cookery workshops in my own kitchen (not the cottages). Workshops include bread making; Sourdoughs etc. We have several different scheduled workshops. If guests request a specific date I will try to accommodate with a minimum of 2 participants.
We have lived in Rodmersham for many years and know the area well. We enjoy walking up on the North Kent Downs and cycling along the No.1 cycle route and round the local villages. We care about the local environment and community and encourage our guests to explore the local area. We use flowers from our garden to decorate the cottages and provide seasonal home grown fruit and vegetables when available. We bake our own bread. We have sought to create cosy and comfortable self catering cottages that support local businesses and have a low impact on the surrounding environment. We have children and know what is required when travelling with them. We love the fact that you can drive to the coast in 25 minutes or stay put and soak up the country air. The best of both worlds.
Monique Bonney purchased this cottage in 2006
We love the position of these cottages, overlooking the village green, adjacent to the pub and a few doors from the village shop/cafe. Rural life without being too remote, pop into the village cafe for coffee or into the village pub for a drink and dinner. Opposite the cottages is a footpath that takes you into beautiful fruit orchards. When we bought these cottages they were in desperate need of modernising and had been knocked into 1 dwelling. We completely renovated them including some major structural work, insulated them, replumbed and rewired them. Today they have all the modern facilities you would expect with a dose of 1860's charm!
We hire out bicycles to explore the area. Both the No.1 cycle route and the North Kent Downs are about 1 mile from the cottages. The cottages are a short drive (5/10 mins) from Sittingbourne, 15 mins from the historic town of Faversham and 25 mins from the beautiful cathedral city of Canterbury. You can look out of window at rural village life but in a short drive/cycle be town. There are plenty of good village pubs to explore, Leeds Castle is a short drive (15/20 mins). If you fancy curling up on the sofa you can surf the internet using our high speed broadband Wifi, watch a DVD or read one of our local interest books. For something really different you could take a Thames Barge sailing trip. We can provide stair gates, highchairs and a cot on request.

Sam Bradford's decision to enter the 2010 NFL draft was obviously a very difficult one.
Bradford has shown nothing but good intentions throughout this process. He is clearly a team player and wants to do anything he can to help the Sooners win. Unfortunately, his return to school as he tried to battle through the initial shoulder injury (suffered against BYU) has backfired. Shutting it down now in order to have surgery on his injured throwing shoulder is the right move for Bradford -- regardless of his plans next season.
All reports indicate that Bradford will enter the 2010 NFL draft if surgery goes as planned. If that's the case, Bradford has obviously come to grips with the business aspect of his current situation. Instead of gambling on the risk/reward opportunity of returning to Norman next season, Bradford is simply cutting his losses.
Now the question becomes, how much has he lost?

The work-life balance has been a hot topic for moms in recent weeks, as companies like Yahoo and Best Buy slashed or limited opportunities for staffers to work from home.
Now it seems like moms aren't the only ones struggling to reach work-life equilibrium.
Dads are feeling the pressure, too. In fact, a new report from the prestigious Pew Research Center shows that both working moms and dads are finding it hard to balance work and family.
The just-released report was based on a nationwide survey of 2,511 adults conducted November 28 though December 5, 2012.
The survey is significant because it shows how dramatically life (and parents' views) changed in recent decades.
For instance, fathers in general are doing more housework and childcare. More and more moms are working outside the home. While neither group is "overtaking the other in their traditional realms," their roles "are converging," the research group said.
Interestingly, both moms and dads with kids under age 18 feel stressed these days juggling the responsibilities of work and family, according to a Today.com report on the survey.
About 56 percent of working moms in the survey with children under age 18 and 50 percent of working dads said they find it very difficult or somewhat difficult to get the right balance, Pew said.
In addition, although an "equal share" of moms and dads with kids under age 18 said they wished they could remain at home to raise their children (rather than go to work daily), dads were more likely than moms to want to work full time.
Asked what they value most when it comes to working, dads said they wanted a high paying position. Moms said a flexible schedule was their chief concern.
Here, more newsworthy findings from parents with children under age 18, according to Pew Research:
-Feeling "rushed' is a fact of life for American families. Forty percent of working moms and 34 percent of working dads said they always feel pressed for time.
-One third of parents said they do not spend enough time with their children. According to Pew, fathers are much more likely than mothers to express this feeling. Forty-six percent of dads versus 23 percent of moms do not think they spend an ample time with their kids.
And here's something to think about:
Among all adults in the survey, only 16 percent believe "the ideal situation for a young child is to have a mother who works full time."
I wonder how Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer would respond to that.
Have you and your partner been able to strike a work-life balance? Tell us how in the space below.

Hello, Im new in cocos2d-x. I folow the official doc to http://www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/Chapter_2_-_How_to_Add_a_sprite#2-Add-a-sprite and http://www.raywenderlich.com/33750/cocos2d-x-tutorial-for-ios-and-android-getting-started and http://www.raywenderlich.com/33752/cocos2d-x-tutorial-for-ios-and-android-space-game. But it seems that these tutorials are for people who come from cocos2d for ios. For example it shows how to add a sprite in the init () function, but not really explain the code or the general structure of a project cocos2d-x, for example, what is the init () function?And I do not know all the ios cocos2d-x or cocos2d and I'm not very familiar with the developement of the video game, I'm really lost. So do you have any good tutorial detailing for true beginner or explain me your methods for learning to use cocos2d-x. thank you.
Hello we have a Cocos2d-x tutorial series which will be exactly what your looking for and we are always available via message to answer any questions you may have, plus we are soon starting a community driven tutorial series with videos from fellow developers questions.
The tutorial series mentioned is here http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRtjMdoYXLf7Dr6Tp22eJoqt1Ha2k17ck
@SonarSystems: Great channel! Nice and simple, straight to the point. I like that.Are you only concentrated on JavaScript(Cocos2d-HTML5) version or is C++(Cocos-2dx)also planned?
@traitree: It seems like you've not read the documentation and tryed anything by yourself at all. Are you familiar with OOP at all? Cocos2d-x is a cross-platform framework, a collection of classes, if you will, which you can use, written in C++.
You should define your CCObjects in your header file. (*.h extension)It could look something like this(roll your own):
The init() function is the initialization function. You can create your CCObjects here. Also this is where the update or so called tick function should reside. In short, my message to you is to check the basic concepts of cocos2d-x. http://www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/Director_Scene_Layer_and_Sprite
Hope it cleared your confusion a bit.Start with basics, grow upon that, you'll see its more simple than you might think at first.
SonarSystems : thanks but Im c++ developer.Eschmelax : I thought we should start with http://www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/Getting_Started so I am not avanturer in another section not all mix but I was wrong. thanks.
@traitree: You're welcome.
After defining the CCSprite in your header, here is how you would implement it(for example) in your init() function:
Get the size of the window:CCSize winSize = CCDirector::sharedDirector()->getWinSize();
CCSize winSize = CCDirector::sharedDirector()->getWinSize();
Create your CCSprite/CCObject:_logotype = CCSprite::create("logo.png");
_logotype = CCSprite::create("logo.png");
Position your CCSprite/CCObject:_logotype->setPosition(ccp(winSize.width / 2 + origin.x, 500));
_logotype->setPosition(ccp(winSize.width / 2 + origin.x, 500));
Add your CCSprite/CCObject to a layer: this->addChild(_logotype, 1);
this->addChild(_logotype, 1);
You're done! Run your application.
thanks a lot
@traitree: This "Getting Started" is a ripoff from Ray Wenderlich tutorials.It is way beyond starting, since this is an advanced tutorial. I agree with you, it should not be there as a starting tutorial.
@Cocos2D-X Team: Guys, this "Getting Started" tutorial confuses many people when they come from zeroto your framework. It contains way too many techniques used by Ray Wenderlich which are difficult for the beginners.
If you have time for this, logic dictates you should create a simple tutorial, which covers simple handling of CCObjects, without creating so much unescessary code and distraction.
@Eschmelax totally agree, the documentation needs to be updated.
@Eschmelax we do have a C++ version planned for when V3.0 is released which won't be long.
@traitree a C++ version will come soon once V3.0 is released
@SonarSystems: That's great! Looking forward to it. If it helps, here is the changelog on V3: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/blob/cocos2d-x-3.0beta/CHANGELOG

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Humane Society of Tampa Bay, Inc., Tampa, FL, USA
I have been a volunteer at HSTB for almost five years. Shortly after I started, and told my wife all about it, she also became a volunteer there. We both love the place. We see first-hand, all the time, how much the staff really cares and works hard for the welfare of the animals. No place is a utopia when dealing with the immense, ongoing problem of homeless and/or abused animals. There are occasional failures and disappointments, but there are so many successes and happy endings that volunteering has been a truly rewarding experience and I would recommend it to anyone who cares enough to come in and help. "Volunteers" who are doing it just for school credit or to embellish their college applications or scholarship chances are not really volunteering - they are looking to get something: that's what I suspect is the situation with the anonymous commentator. You are never going to like EVERYBODY in a large group of people, but this group is strongly united in a common desire to make a difference in the lives of the animals and any one who is wanting to help can accomplish that at HSTB.

Question: Can I withdraw my 403 B funds before 59 1/2 years of age? I no longer want to participate. Can I close this account and withdraw my funds???? Charity, Greeneville, TN
Answer: I don't know why you're so unhappy with the plan, but I wouldn't take the money out. You'll pay a 10% penalty on the amount withdrawn plus ordinary income taxes. The combination is a huge hit to your savings.
In general, there are only a few ways to get the money out penaly free before age 59 1/2. Among the main exemptions are: You leave your job and roll over the money into an IRA; you retire before age 55 and make equal periodic payments for five years or until you reach 59 1/2, whichever takes longer; you become diabled; or you take out a loan, although not all plans allow it.
This isn't a comprehensive list, but it gives you an idea ho the rules are written to discourage early withdrawal.
In most cases, a far better strategy is to stop contributing to the plan. When you leave your employer you can roll the savings into a tax-sheltered IRA. Sometimes, the problem is that particpants don't like the fact that their portfolio fluctuates in value. In that case, choose a very conservative investment option (and then you could keep adding to it).
It's hard to save for retirement. I wouldn't toss away the progress you've made to date. Just stop funding the plan and start savings elsewhere. You'll still need to save.
For instance, you could open up an IRA or a Roth-IRA. You could also build up a taxable savings account. An advantage of a taxable savings account is that you can get access to the money without paying a penalty.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

CANEY CREEK (Grimes County). Caney Creek rises three miles southeast of Anderson in south central Grimes County (at 30°27' N, 95°58' W) and runs southeast for seventeen miles through mostly open country to its mouth on Lake Creek, in western Montgomery County (at 30°21' N, 95°45' W). It crosses gently sloping to nearly level terrain surfaced by sandy and clay loams that support stands of water oak, elm, pecan, loblolly pine, and shortleaf pine. On February 15–16, 1687, the French explorer René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, crossed the creek traveling north toward the Trinity River on one of his many forays into the Texas interior in search of the Mississippi River. Settlement on the prairie near the upper creek began in the mid-1820s when Jesse Grimes, Franklin Greenwood, Margaret McIntire, and her sons William and Robert established Grimes Prairie, one of the first settlements in Grimes County.

SALT LAKE CITY — Ready or not, the holiday season has officially arrived. And it's earlier than ever.
Call it "holiday creep," an increasingly early start to the holiday shopping season. Salt Lake City is hardly immune to the national trend.
As strands of Christmas music played in background Saturday morning, Kelli Shaw of Ogden strolled through City Creek Center for her family's annual girls' shopping day. Earlier in the week, Santa Claus arrived at downtown Salt Lake's new shopping center for the unveiling of holiday windows at Macy's and other festivities to kick off the winter holidays.
As a shopper who prefers to complete her holiday shopping early, Shaw said she welcomes the early start.
"I always try to get everything done by December 1 so I can enjoy the holidays," she said.
However, Shaw draws the line at stores being open on Thanksgiving day. "They (retail employees) should be able to be with their families. Shopping should be such a small part of it," she said.
"It's all about food, family and sweat pants."
Retail industry officials say 40 percent of consumers planned to start their holiday shopping before Halloween, suggesting there is demand for earlier shopping opportunities.
Another shopper at City Creek Center, Keith Waters of Orlando, Fla., said "holiday creep" extends to the point that once the actual holidays arrive, he's somewhat tired of the season.
"I'd prefer they didn't but I kind of think the free market takes care of itself," he said.
A Target employee in California started an online petition urging corporate leaders to back off the plan to open its stores at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. The petition has more than 200,000 signatures.
The holiday is one of the few that workers had been able to spend with their families, Target worker Casey St. Clair told CNN. St. Clair has worked part-time for the company for six years.
Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Sears and Kmart are also scheduled to open Thanksgiving night, and an hour earlier than Target.
Shayla Christensen of Blackfoot, Idaho said her family has Thanksgiving dinner at her grandmothers' house each year, with some 60 people in attendance. "You should be able to spend that time with family."
Her sister Megan Christensen concurred: "I don't like that I have to work the day after Thanksgiving. I feel that's bad enough. Everyone should have that time off. It's a time for family."
Mary Talboys, a licensed clinical social worker and director of services for the University Neuropsychiatric Institute, said "holiday creep" can be problematic.
"It's not good. Then the stress gets going earlier in the season. The kids get amped up with expectations," Talboys said.
Even though holiday shopping opportunities abound prior to the traditional post-Thanksgiving kickoff, families should remember what they value about the holiday season, whether it's family gatherings, religious observances or gift giving.1 comment on this story
Shoppers who object to retailers extending the shopping season and take offense to workers being required to work on Thanksgiving may want to stay home.
If large numbers of people shop later in the season, "maybe they (retailers) won't do it so early next year," Talboys said.
For Andrea Martinez of Provo, the early start to shopping season helps her keep her holiday stress in check.
"I feel like it's nice to get it out of the way. I get a little anxious during the holidays if I don't have my shopping done. I try to get it done by Black Friday."

Tolzien leades Badgers to 5-0 record
He's been one of the biggest surprises from the Big Ten Conference.
Wisconsin quarterback Scott Tolzien has seemingly come out of nowhere to lead the surprising Badgers to a 5-0 record.
The challenge becomes even greater this Saturday on the road at Ohio State. Tolzien has hit nearly 66 percent of his passes for 1,043 yards and nine touchdowns. He is the top-rated quarterback in the conference.
It's a big game against the ninth-ranked Buckeyes because Wisconsin is the only team in major college football with an undefeated record, that isn't ranked in the Top 25. That would change with a win this weekend.

"[So was it all those trips to the regulator that convinced him the Wharf is bearable?] I think it's a wonderful development, ... but there's no connection of that sort. It's just a business decision."
"I don't see the U.S. agreeing to anything and the next phase could be Europe filing against Japanese subsidies for the 787."
"Sometimes you have got to be careful what you wish for. But the U.S. will just put its blinders on and pretend it doesn't get subsidies."
"What's important here is what hasn't happened yet, the EU filing a WTO case against Japan. That's next."

This album is truly black metal. Yep, there's no denying it. While it's oddly not the fastest of Marduk's for some reason, it's certainly the most black metal. However, it's also the worst of black metal. A wise friend once said that blastbeats (and by blastbeat I mean the b-s-b-s-b-s-b-s drumbeat that permeates this album) are merely exclamation points, in the sense that to make a coherent sentance you need more than just punctuation; likewise, to make a coherent song, you need more than just blastbeats. This album is like a constant exclamation point. It's meant to be a brutal statement of raw aggression. However, it comes off as meaningless as a random middle finger you see on the road from a bunch of teenaged faux-badasses. We all know Marduk aren't serious satanists, so what's the point of all this dumb lyrical content and dumb songwriting? Unless you're actually out raping angels and slaughtering the christian god, what's the point of writing about this? It's trite, we heard it all 27 years ago (18 years ago when this album was made) when Venom made Welcome to Hell. Back then, it was fresh. Now it plain sucks, and from the looks of it, Marduk ain't about to be writing Nietzche (sp?) anytime soon.
But lyrics don't define metal, riffs do. And here we have a bunch of amorphous riffs (although a few memorable riffs are scattered here and there; look no further than the main riff of Christraping Black Metal or Blooddawn) over blasting grindcore beats and surprisingly audible basslines that waste the production effort spent on them by following the guitars the entire time.
Speaking of which, the production reigns as one of the shining points of Panzer Division. The album cover suggests it's meant to be a howitzer to the eardrums and this is, indeed, a howitzer to the eardrums. Complete holocaust to the ears. All instruments can be heard, but it still manages to sound like a hurricane channeled into black metal format. Many people despise Legion's vocals; I say they're an acquired taste. In the world of black metal, it is often considered uncouth to have growls in place of shrieks, and indeed Erik Legion has a lower speaking voice than most black metal vocalists. As a result, his vocals sound more like extremely scratchy and acidic shouts than glass bursting shrieks.
A lot has been said tearing this album down to nothing or praising it up to lofty heights. I will posit that neither position is correct. This is uber black metal, with all the strengths of black metal, like rapid drumming and razorblade guitars, and all the flaws of black metal, like monotony and silliness. Half and half, really, true to the two-faced nature of black metal. I give it 50 points + 15 because it's well produced and at least above average in the talent department.

Praise for Pampered in Paris:
"In Paris, it's not just hotels touting treatments. There are spas and beauty salons crowding every street. If you would like to learn more about them, you need to consult Pampered In Paris: A Guide To The Best Spas, Salons And Beauty Boutiques. It provides an arrondissement-by-arrondissement guide to who offers what and where." —The Mail on Sunday (London)
"Author Kim Horton Levesque researched more than 50 establishments whose makeup, perfume and skin treatments are dear to the heart of fashionable Parisian women. Naturally, such experiences can be intimidating—think going to the fragrances counter at your local upscale department store and multiply by 100—so Levesque offers advice on spa etiquette. She also provides a glossary of useful terms so travelers will know the French for shimmer or anti-aging facial." —Pittsburgh Tribune Review
"For a tantalizing overview of the Paris Spa experience, pick up a copy of Kim Horton Levesque's Pampered in Paris: A Guide to the best Spas, Salons and Beauty Boutiques. Illustrated with attractive photographs by Kristyn Moore, this little volume showcases 70 of the best places to indulge." —France Magazine

Review for ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Glendale, WI, USA
Hi Twenty years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer Well, this April it returned!!! I was in shock and that night I called ABCD. Years ago, it was the Y me hotline. I asked for someone to speak with and match me up with a survivor. they did the EXACT match I was looking for. Understanding, caring, empathetic, and this woman got me through. if it wasn"t for this woman at the other end of the phone counseling me, guiding me, listening to me I would not be in the space I am today! She was My life saver! I have no family that was ready and available to "listen" Friends shyed away from me and still do. I have had a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Still healing and now facing chemo therapy for a year. I know have another survivor I am speaking with. I am also BCRA1 positive. I live alone and its been painstaking going through this .
