Having been to King Tin before and been generally happy, and wanting something that would suit everyone, took my wife and grandson there for lunch buffet today. It was never the cat's meow by any means, but acceptable. Well.... The selection was not particularly exciting. Most of the dishes had some version of the same gloppy sauce on them, and the hot and sour soup seemed to be on the same base. Food was mostly oversteamed. Various dishes ran out, and new things brought out in an apparently random fashion, so there was no consistent selection--chicken wings in batter came out for the first time just as we had finished and were heading out the door.... What we did have didn't taste particularly good. I should perhaps add that when they replenished the dishes, it was done in such a sloppy fashion that one had the impression of someone emptying the trash... The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, either. Needs a serious facelift. I'd like to think we just happened to hit a bad time, but I'm not about to try it again to find out.
This has been our fav for chinese for the past 25 years or so. No more. The last few visits have not been good.At the dim sum the pepper steak was bad. Three times now the wait for dinner has been outrageous. We could even hear others commenting last Tuesday and the restaurant was not especially busy. We actually had finished, given up and were packing up the leftovers when the last dish was rushed out to our table. Eggplant with garlic and chilli, not a difficult dish. Thisscenario was being repeated at other tables as well. Our deep fried spicy squid was disgusting - Over cooked and like chewing rubber tires. I guess its eiother underdone mush or overcooked... The sweet and sour pork was SOUR - like sucking lemons. Our last dish took 70 mins to get to our table, long after the rice was pretty much cold. There is never an apology for this kind of thing either - We are finished with the King Tin. 3 strikes you're out.
Things have settled down again after James' marriage. We took friends out for dinner last Saturday night and we were very pleased. The food was excellent, the service impeccable and friendly, everone had a great time. Glad to see this great eating place is still on track.
For many years now, we've ordered their hot and sour soup and we've almost never been disappointed! It's perfect, especially on a cold winter day :) My personal favourite is probably the pineapple chicken which is served in an unique style! It's sweet, but not too sweet yet it is still so flavourful. Yum, yum, yum! We often do takeout but the times that we have dined in, I felt this restaurant is a great example of a family restaurant. Nothing to complain about and I definitely recommend a visit :)
This has been a favorite eating place of ours for the past 25 or more years. Lately they've gotten so sloppy, well, we've been disappointed too many times. Poorly cooked food, couldn't care less service from poorly trained wait staff, Warm water, sticky chopsticks, - Friday night they had a party in there. Still, if you're open for business, at least try to cook the food decently. The deep fried crispy squid was anything but crispy. It was an undercooked, pale, anemic, soggy, mushy mess. I complained to James (son of the owner) who just shrugged it off with a laugh. The Yang Chow rice lacked seasoning hence it was pretty tasteless. The General Chicken on rice was skimpy and not properly cooked. It should be slightly crispy and not soft and drowned in sauce... We've many times had to return a Dim Sum dish on other occassions... sometimes they credit you, sometimes not. The meal we had Friday night was almost $50. and it was disgusting. I guess things change. They have a new cook helping out - wish they would train him properly! If you look you will see my previous reiews give this place high scores. Things change.
As a chinese... BBQ Pork bum is my fav. Well..today, i went to king tin (first time there). i didn't know they don't have buffet on holiday but anyways... so i decided to try there dim sum... I know u take the food and go around every table and then what's left on the cart goes back on the steamer again... but seriously, the bottom part of the bbq pork bum was mushy... the bum looks yellow and tasted like the steamer too... that's just too much re-steaming!!!!~~~ second... hello waitress!!~~ can't u see the tea pot cap was tipped open?? that means add more water plz~~ third... shrimp dumplings... when i picked it up... the skin falls off~~ too much re-steaming~~
We've been eating at the King Tin for more than 20 years. The hot and sour soup is the best anywhere. The weekend dim sum lunches are not to be missed! Reasonable and delicious dishes are offered. Their yang chow rice is the best in town, along with several of their noodle dishes. Seafood is a specialty here - and fabulous. The several casseroles they offer are incredibly good, wonderful sauces and melt in the mouth meat. The style is definitely chinese and not Canadian style chinese food. You will find a large percentage of oriental diners here as it is mostly wonderfully authentic chinese food cooked as it should be. The General Chicken is to die for. The lunch buffet has improved so much since the last review I just read - it isn't the same at all. Dim sums, shrimp dumplings, shu mai, deep fried chicken wings, spring rolls, soup, so much more than I can list here, and a good variety of rice, noodle and sweet and sour dishes. Eggplant with black bean sauce, curried squid... This is a must try if you haven't yet. One of the best lunch values anywhere at $7.00 per person!
This is the favourite spot for lunch for me and many of my friends. You see many of the regulars over and over. The food is delicious, especially the hot and sour soup and the beef in black bean sauce. Dim sum is yummy and the squid is a special treat. Sometimes the kitchen is slow filling the buffet, but it has been better lately. The server is very busy, but is so pleasant and tries to improve her English. We often bus our own table, but that is part of the experience. The owner is always gracious. One improvement would be the cleaning of the carpet more often. Great food for a great price at the lunch buffet!
OK, the place is a dump but the food is great! I go there regurlarly and love to take friends. I'd eat there every day if I could. I have to agree however that they do use alot of MSG and salt.
I love this place. I would say I go once every couple of months or so. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Once in a while the buffet has it's off day where the food is only adequate, but for the most part it's quite delicious. They have the best spring rolls in town and a variety of interesting and tasty items in the buffet. I've read a couple of reviews here stating that their hot and sour soup is the best, but I would have to disagree. It's good, but compared to other chinese restaurants in Kitchener, it's a middle to low rank. Thumbs up from this happy customer!
Fluffy and flavourful fried rice! However, I can taste the oil they used for other dishes. Portions were generous, good value for $! However, they need waitresses that speak fluent english there, and the place needs renovation. I come here for the food, so I will come back in the future.
I ordered take out from this restaurant and the food was hot, flavourful, and delicious. The payment process was efficient too. Free chili sauce!!!! However, the price for the tofu casserole is trivial at $8, because it had no meat in it.
Amazing! The food was delicious! I loved it, the hot and sour soup is really amazing! If you want some real, authentic chinese food this place is a must! I wouldn't know about the service...I had the buffet
Our friends visited this place during the lunch time, they iked it, so we decided to go there for dinner.Very dissapointed. The service was slow. The waitresses are different, one of them came and asked if we were ok. I have said that I had no idea what to order, and she just said"it's okay " and walked away. Boy, I wanted to ask for some recomensations!! Well, we made our choice. I wish they would warn us about the size of portions. One small bowl of soup may feed up to 4 people. We ordered two soups. My husband couldn't eat wonton (even though he likes it), he said the meat inside the dumplings looked undercooked. My soup was okay. Noodles with beef were okay too, beef was quite tasteless. Pork with veggies: I thought they forgot to add the pork there. They brought a ton of cabbage in sause, with some carrots.... I found literally just 5 pieces of pork in this huge plate with cabbage. I doubt I would go there again....
I had the lunch buffet and it was fabulous! The Hot and Sour Soup was the best i've ever had! I also adore the sweet and sour pork! Delicious!
The food is excellent. They bring it out as it's made, hot and fresh. The squid is amazing. The hot & sour soup is the best I've ever had, barr none! The service is average at any time. Several servers speak little english, but in the end - the food makes the trip from Guelph well worth the while each time we go!
I used to adore this restaurant, mainly because it actually offers authentic Chinese food as opposed to all the chicken ball stuff out there. Unfortunately, their service and food have gone downhill. In recent times, you can really taste how unfresh the food and oil were, especially the seafood. The service was also horrible. Firstly, they forgot our order and we had to ask for it 5 times. When it arrived, it was almost 45 minutes later. The waitress ignored the entire time and complained directly to us that we didn't give enough tip even though her service was worse than horrible. When we said this she told us never to come back, which is exactly what I'm doing!
I have always enjoyed every visit. If there is anything really worth complaining about, it would be that the washrooms are deplorable. The only other thing, which has become a source of amusement rather than an annoyance, is that the soup and appitizers might come at any time, not necessarily before the entrees. The owners and staff are always friendly. Contrary to an earlier review on this site, I have always found the Dim Sum to be excellent, as compared to the many I have tried in Toronto and elsewhere. Overall, I love this place. I have been enjoying their food and hospitality for over 14 years now (both in their present location and in their former location (further down King St, near downtown Waterloo, where Loomis and Toombs Music is now).
Excellent buffet at noon with a very reasonable price (less than $6.00/person). More than 20 selections.
Great food at great prices :). The service was a little slow, however the food was well worth the wait! This is definately a great place to go to if you don't like "Canadian Chinese" type food. We had chow mein, beef in oyster sauce, and fried pot stickers. They were all delicious. I highly reccomend this place.

I admit it, I have jumped on the Greek yogurt bandwagon. It is low in carbs, delicious, full of good for you cultures....and expensive. I found myself going through a $5.00 container every 2-3 days and had to finally admit that I had a problem.
Only I didn't want to give up my daily fix! So, I decided to try and make my own.
I am quite happy to report that the results were quite delicious :).
- 1/2 gallon of 1% or higher milk
- 2-3 Tbsp of yogurt with active live cultures
- kitchen thermometer
- blanket/large towel
- oven with a light/thermos
- heavy bottomed pan or double boiler
- mixing spoon
- glass or ceramic bowl
- coffee filters/cheesecloth
- 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream of buttermilk
When the milk has cooled, turn on your oven light to warm the oven. Mix together the 2-3 Tbsp of yogurt with the heavy cream/buttermilk until smooth.
Wrap the bowl in a blanket or towel and place inside the over for 7-8 hours. Make sure that no part of the cloth touches the light bulb.
Remove the yogurt mix and place a strainer on top of a bowl. Line the strainer with coffee filters or cheesecloth.
Pour yogurt mix into strainer and place in the refrigerator for a hour. Drain whey from bottom of bowl. Return to refrigerator for another hour and again pour out the whey.
If done properly, it should come off in a sheet from the strainer.

text: Re: Problem in my Linea 1.4 Hey Aaron, are you keeping the revs below 1500-2000 rpm? If so then you might need to change your driving style... for a better pickup.. Coz I have found that the 1.4 FIRE feels dead, unresponsive when the rpm is below 2500 rpm. So maybe you might be shifting at a lower rpm... Try shifting to the next gear once the rpm crosses 2500 rpm.. ::T that should get you moving.. Did you get the ecu software update for the AC?? But if there is a genuine performance issue (as stated by the TASC fuel filter replacement), then only after driving your car can that be confirmed.. If you want, you can approach some another TASC for a second opinion.. no harm there (they might have the part in stock)

Hypospadias is a common urological abnormality and may occur in simple (glandular or penile) or severe forms (perineal). Perineal hypospadias often occurs in association with other genital abnormalities, such as bilateral cryptorchidism and micropenis, and may be the result of partial androgen insensitivity. We have investigated the androgen binding status and androgen receptor gene of boys from two unrelated families. The first pair of brothers had partial androgen insensitivity with perineal hypospadias, bilateral cryptorchidism, and micropenis, while the other boys had isolated perineal hypospadias. Qualitative androgen binding defects were shown in both sets of brothers and different point mutations of the androgen receptor gene were found in the two families. These findings suggest that the genital abnormalities in the affected brothers result from defects in the androgen receptor. Furthermore, severe familial hypospadias may be a previously unrecognised part of the phenotypic spectrum of the partial androgen insensitivity syndrome. This study provides valuable information for the genetic counselling of families affected by this X linked genital abnormality.

Tutorial: Making a Fading Blinkie

We are going to learn how to make a fading blinkie, like this:
I am using Photoshop/Image Ready, but am sure that the following techniques can be used in other programs.
1. Make a regular blinkie and open it in ImageReady or your animation program of choice.
2. Start setting up your frames, we will be using the Opacity feature shown below:
3. With this blinkie we have two lines of text we want to animate, you will have 11 frames for each line of text, if you decide to do your blinkie dots too, you will have more...but we will skip that for now.
4. Each of the 11 frames will have a different opacity %, as follows: 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10.
5. To start, duplicate your first line of text the way you want it to appear, so that there are 11 frames. Next, Make sure you are on the first frame, highlight the layer of text we are working with and change the opacity to 10%.
6. Click on the 2nd frame and increase the opacity to 20%. Continue until you are on frame 11 and back to 10%.
7. You will then start on your 2nd line, repeating the steps above.
8. When you are finished, you will then want to adjust the seconds each frame plays. Just whatever works for you and hit play. There you go!
I am not the best at explaining things, so I hope this made sense. I would be glad to answer any questions if you just want to send me a PM.
Thank you RaspberryBeret for my gorgeous siggy!

In a chance encounter with a sinister truck driver tricked out like a rhinestone-cowboy, Odd has a vision of an outrageous multiple homicide, the murder of three innocent children, that has not yet been committed. Across California, into Nevada, and back again, Odd desperately gives chase. Along the way, he meets - and charms - a collection of eccentrics who become his allies in a terrifying battle against a sociopath of singular boldness and cleverness - and a shadowy network of like-minded murders whose identities and motivations are mysterious and whose resources seem almost supernatural.

Original paper
jade gouge from Emirau Island, Papua New Guinea (Early Lapita context, 3300 BP): a unique jadeitite
Harlow, George E.; Summerhayes, Glenn R.; Davies, Hugh L.; Matisoo-Smith, Lisa
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 24 Number 2 (2012), p. 391 - 399
published: Mar 1, 2012
ArtNo. ESP147052402013, Price: 29.00 €
A small stone artifact fashioned as a wood-carving gouge, discovered during an archaeological excavation on Emirau Island, Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea, has been determined to consist of jadeitite - jadeite jade. It is very unusual with respect to both pyroxene composition and minor mineral constituents. Pyroxene compositions lie essentially along the jadeite-aegirine join: Jd94Ae6 to Jd63Ae36, and without any coexisting omphacite. This contrasts with Jd-Di or Jd-Aug compositional trends commonly observed in jadeitites worldwide. Paragonite and albite occur in veins and cavities with minor titanite, epidote-allanite, and zircon, an assemblage seen in a few jadeitites. Surprisingly, some titanite contains up to 6 wt% Nb2O5 with only trace Ta and a single grain of a Y-Nb phase (interpreted as fergusonite) is present; these are unique for jadeitite. A possible source is along the Torare River in northeast Papua, Indonesia, from which samples of "chloromelanite (actually jadeitite) were collected by C.E.A. Wichmann in 1903 near Humboldt Bay along with stone adzes fashioned from the same material.

SAN JOSE (KRON) — An additional six victims have spoken out to being sexually assaulted by the same man in the South Bay, according to the San Jose police.
According to police, Damou Evans of Morgan Hill has been connected to at least seven sexual assault cases within the South Bay and police believe there are more victims.

CARLSBAD, Calif., (Jan. 22, 2007) — Unbound Energy's Chad Reed (San Manuel/Yamaha) scored his third-straight Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series podium this past weekend at Anaheim Angels Stadium, finishing 2nd overall in the AMA Supercross class in front of another packed house on the '07 supercross tour.
Reed, who carried some momentum into the main with a holeshot and win in his heat race, got out of the main event start in fourth place behind Ivan Tedesco, Nick Wey and James Stewart. Reed and Tedesco would battle early, with Reed taking the advantage near the end of lap two and moving into third place.
Setting his sights on the leaders, Stewart and Wey, Reed put his head down and caught Wey by lap eight. The two battled for a moment before Reed beat Wey into a corner out of a long whoop section. Still battling a sore shoulder, Reed did what he needed to secure 2nd place — his first runner-up finish of the Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross season. The finish also put more distance between Reed and 3rd place overall in the points standings (Tim Ferry). Reed leads Ferry 62-50 for 2nd place overall.
"In the main I struggled to get going early, but was able to get it together later in the race, said Reed. "Third (place) was getting old, so I moved it up to 2nd this week. I'm happy for the whole San Manuel/Yamaha team.
Reed's Unbound Energy-backed teammate Nathan Ramsey was able to make the top ten this week, finishing a solid 10th in the talent-laden field. Ramsey made it to the main with a 8th place finish in the first heat race. Noteworthy: After missing the main event at the first round of the series, Ramsey has made two-straight main events and moved into 13th place overall in the AMA Supercross class, only 11 points out of the top ten.
Unbound Energy-backed Reed and Ramsey return to action this weekend (Jan. 27th) for another California round of the 2007 Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series at San Francisco's SBC Park. Last year Ramsey won the Lites class at San Francisco, while Reed finished 5th overall in the Supercross class.
Unbound Energy, Unbound Lo-Carb Energy and the new Unbound Energy + Juice are available in 16 oz. cans at BP and am/pm retail locations, with more locations being added every day!

The Pentagon says it has begun implementing a program that will give
hundreds of detainees at a U.S.-run prison at the Bagram Air Base in
Afghanistan the right to challenge their custody.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Monday the new policy will allow roughly 600 detainees to appear before a panel periodically to contest their detention.
Under the new rules, a U.S. military official would be assigned to work with each of the Bagram prisoners. Although the officials would not be lawyers, they would be able to gather evidence and witnesses to help the detainees dispute their detention.
The U.S. military has been holding the detainees at Bagram north of Kabul as "enemy combatants." Some of them have been there for up to six years.
Unlike terrorism suspects at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, those in Afghanistan have had no access to lawyers to challenge their detentions or hear allegations against them.
The Pentagon spokesman says each detainee will now have the right to be heard within 60 days of his arrival at the center.
Human rights advocates say Bagram inmates have been protesting their detention since July by refusing privileges such as recreation time, family visits and meetings with the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The Obama administration is reviewing detention practices it inherited from the administration of former President George W. Bush. Human rights groups have criticized those policies, saying they allow for arbitrary and indefinite detention.

Used strap extender for a while, but I could never get a good grip with that. I'd either slip out after a few minutes or the blood circulation would be cut off.

Marcel Proust Quotes About WaitingQuotes about: Waiting
But when from a long-distant past nothing subsists, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, taste and smell alone, more fragile but more enduring, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, remain poised a long time, like souls, remembering, waiting, hoping, amid the ruins of all the rest; and bear unflinchingly, in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection.
I was left alone there in the company of the orchids, roses and violets, which, like people waiting beside you who do not know you, preserved a silence which their individuality as living things made all the more striking, and warmed themselves in the heat of a glowing coal fire...
The truth has no need to be uttered to be made apparent, and ... one may perhaps gather it with more certainty, without waiting for words and without even taking any account of them, from countless outward signs, even from certain invisible phenomena, analogous in the sphere of human character to what atmospheric changes are in the physical world.
For women who do not love us, as for the "disappeared", knowing that we no longer have any hope does not prevent us form continuing to wait. We live on our guard, on watch; women whose son has gone asea on a dangerous exploration imagine at any minute, although it has long been certain that he has perished, that he will enter, miraculously saved, and healthy.
We passionately long that there may be another life in which we shall be similar to what we are here below. But we do not pause to reflect that, even without waiting for that other life, in this life, after a few years we are unfaithful to what we have been, to what we wished to remain immortally.

Many of us probably recall the days when record labels had massively staffed departments dedicated purely to artist development. Artists would go through focused training efforts in an effort to create a body of work suitable for taking to the next level (i.e., radio). Over the past 15 years or so, those label departments have all but disappeared. Today, labels do not have the time, resources, or energy to invest multiple years molding an artist and creating radio-worthy demos. Instead, labels expect artists to walk in the door with a story, a fan base, and at a minimum, a handful of radio and retail-ready recordings. The question is how do aspiring artists gain the necessary training to give them the tools they need to have the best shot at getting the attention of label executives?
Publishers Fill the Void
Given that labels have rid themselves of this burdensome task, some music publishers have begun to fill that void and engage in the art of artist development. In the past few years, publishers have seen a significant potential upside to aligning themselves with aspiring artists who also happen to be songwriters. By establishing loyalty at an early stage in a songwriter's career, the publisher can spread its risk and create additional revenue streams that previously did not exist in exchange for committing a little extra in development funds.
When a publisher believes that a songwriter has the ability to also succeed as an artist, it's an easy decision to commit additional funding to allow the songwriter to record some sides for the purposes of shopping to labels. Additionally, some of these publishers have built-in staff members to assist creatively and on the business side. One example, is a songwriter who, with the assistance of the publisher's creative staff, narrowed down his recent body of work to a handful of songs and recorded them as masters. Simultaneously, with the help of a booking agent and in-house staffer who served as interim manager (on salary with the publisher and at no added cost to the songwriter), the songwriter/artist was able to play dates across the US in country clubs. This not only aided the songwriter/artist in improving his live appearance abilities, but also allowed the artist to earn a little extra money along the way while building a fan base.
In a perfect world, the publisher is able to leverage relationships to help garner the attention of label executives, which may ultimately result in a record deal. In exchange for the publisher's development investment, the songwriter agrees to provide the publisher with a small percentage of artist-related income for a period of time (i.e., a return on investment for the publisher). For the publisher, this is an added revenue stream in addition to the publishing revenues that will be generated from the songwriter/artist having a major label release, which will hopefully include several self-written cuts.
Balancing The Cost/Reward
For the songwriter/artist, it is important to take into account the fact that he/she will be paying multiple parties from the artist-related revenues (i.e., booking agent, management, record label, business manager, and under this scenario, the publisher). Thus, as with any deal, it is crucial to consider all of the necessary payments to minimize the impact on the artist's financial well-being. These days, it is not uncommon for an artist to pay upwards of 40-45% of revenues (some based on gross and others on "net") once the agent, management, label and business manager are all paid. Throwing in a few additional percentage points for the publisher may seem minimal when looking at it by itself, but when adding it together with all of the other pieces, it can push the artist close to, if not beyond, the 50% mark, which is not only potentially disastrous for the artist's financial well-being, but also is a bad psychological point to reach in paying third parties more than what the artist takes home.
The publisher artist development deals can be a great way for aspiring artists to get the tools they need without having to find an investor. But as with anything, it comes at a cost. It is imperative to look at the big picture when negotiating this type of deal while remaining positive about the potential end-result, which could have a long-lasting upside for everyone involved.

Praktikum Modellierung in Eclipse
Eclipse is not only an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java and other languages, but also a rich client platform (RCP) that can be arbitrarily extended using its plug-in concept. There are numerous projects that are built on the Eclipse platform and go far beyond offering a comfortable IDE for programmers. One of these, the Eclipse Modeling Project, is composed of several frameworks that provide means for modeling inside Eclipse, such as meta-modeling (EMF), graphical modeling (GMP), model transformation and text generation (M2M / M2T), and textual modeling (Xtext). This practical course will introduce these technologies and aims at achieving in-depth knowledge on the concepts and practical issues of modeling in Eclipse.

Retail Price Differences across U.S. and Canadian Cities during the Interwar Period
We construct a unique panel of retail food prices in 69 Canadian and 51 U.S. cities during the Interwar (1920-40) period. Surprisingly, we find that average relative price dispersion across cities within Canada and the U.S., and the role of distance in accounting for cross-city price differences, was very similar to estimates from the 1980s and 1990s. We also find large changes in the importance of the Canada-U.S. border during the Interwar period. While increased price differences between Canadian and U.S. cities coincide with the end of the gold-standard (and the move to floating nominal exchange rates), large relative and absolute price differences persist even after the Canada-U.S. nominal exchange rate returned to parity. The substantial "thickening" of the border in the 1930s appears to reflect dramatic changes in trade policy and the degree of market integration during this period.

Cargill, Inc. has made a generous gift of $37,100 to assist with ongoing emergency and disaster relief efforts connected to local flooding last April and May. Cargill employees presented the gifts to United Way President Bryce Haugsdahl at Tom Lee Park in downtown Memphis, TN with Cargill and United Way employees on hand to celebrate the event.
Several Cargill divisions and UGL Services – Unicco Operations combined their gifts to address local needs created by the flooding last April and May. A statement from Cargill explained how the floods hit their organization close to home, and how their employees have responded: "There are several Cargill businesses located in Memphis, TN. In response to the flood, we have collaborated to combine funds for purposes of contributing to the long-term recovery of those who have lost their homes and possessions," and "Cargill has a long-standing and significant presence in the Memphis community for supporting and caring for the less fortunate. Related to the flood, several individuals have helped out at shelters, gathering supplies, and distributing cleanup buckets." Six Unicco Memphis team members were also displaced from their homes as a result of the flooding.
Cargill AgHorizons Mid-South Farm Service Group contributed $2,500, UGL Services – Unicco Operations provided $4,600, Cargill Cotton gave $10,000, and Cargill Corn Milling North America donated $20,000, for a total of $37,100 for local recovery efforts.
"Cargill is one of our area's outstanding leaders when it comes to supporting United Way and our campaign to improve education, financial stability and health. We thank Cargill for also being an outstanding leader in helping people who have immediate and long-term needs as a result of the recent floods," Haugsdahl said.
Volunteers from Cargill played a significant role, including: Debra Adams, Will Rice, Laura Landers (Cargill AgHorizons Mid-South Farm Service Group) ; Rick Logan, Eric Godard (UGL Services – Unicco Operations); Krista Rickman, Michael Morawski (Cargill Cotton); Ruth Banks, James Pumphrey, Matt McLeane, Nicole Reichert, and JJ Zmudzinski (Cargill Corn Milling North America).

Kate Middleton took a big step in her reign as the Duchess of Cambridge on Tuesday...she went on her first-ever solo trip!
Yes, the 34-year-old royal is currently visiting the Netherlands for a one-day visit without Prince William, marking the first time she's traveled abroad for royal duties without her husband.
In the first photos from the visit, Kate looked confident and beautiful while wearing a pastel blue Catherine Walker suit, which she accessorized with a pair of pearl earrings she borrowed from the Queen as well as a pair of nude pumps. She wore her hair in a low chignon that perfectly topped off the look.

Kate's first order of business was to meet with King Willem Alexander for lunch at Villa Eikenhorst—the royal residence he shares with wife, Queen Maxima, and their three daughters. The Dutch monarch greeted Kate outside his home, and she followed royal protocol by showing her respects with a curtsy. The pair then made their way inside to pose for photos.
Some royal commentators believe Kate will be an asset in helping to safeguard the UK's relations with its European neighbors as the British exit from the European union continues to play out over the next several years.
Meanwhile, Kate was originally supposed to take her first solo trip to Malta in 2014 while she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte. However, she was suffering from terrible morning sickness and Prince William had to take her place.
The Duchess most recently returned from the family's royal tour of Canada earlier this month, which marked the first time she and Prince William traveled with both their little ones, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I have been using this device on my MacBook Pro since the 2012 edition does not have an audio input and i needed a way to record my DJ mixes on the move. So a very good mark to note there: This works on Mac! The device comes in it's own packaging, Citronic have very kindly left out that hard to get into thick plastic and instead it is supplied in cardboard backed plastic which you can tear open and start using immediately. Set up is simple if you have audacity and if you don't it comes free on a grey disc with hard to read text in small print (not so helpful).
Citronic have always made good quality DJ equipment and this is no exception. the casing is made from solid plastic, the gain control feels very smooth and there is no quartz lock. The switch in the middle is sturdy and does not move around or make a clunking noise. Sound quality is not compromised for design or the sake of being compact and there is crystal clear signal coming through. There is a small LED which flickers between red and green depending on sound status.
The only negative i can find with this, is the over sensitive Phono connection. Line is absolutely fine, no problems with that but the phono is very loud. I have my DJ mixer switched down to master output 1 out of 10 volume, and it still clips on audacity, and the gain wont make a difference since its for the line connection only. Keep the volume down and you'll be alright.
The manual that comes with this has two pages of english and is of absolutely no help whatsoever for mac users but will prove straight forward and easy for windows users with a step by step guide.
This is a great little device for recording mixes, converting your old vinyl and what not to digital but is really useless if you already have a line in connection on your computer. I am a 2012 MacBook user and needed this because i don't have one, save yourself £30 otherwise! Despite the quality sound and ease of portability and set up it is highly over priced. i would have been happy with half that but because there are few other like this around for anything less than £30 I had to make do.

A View of the Harbour : A Virago Modern Classic Paperback
by Elizabeth Taylor
Part of the VMC Designer Collection series
'Jane Austen, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Bowen - soul-sisters all' Anne TylerIn the faded coastal village of Newby, everyone looks out for - and in on - each other, and beneath the deceptively sleepy exterior, passions run high.
Beautiful divorcee Tory is painfully involved with her neighbour, Robert, while his wife Beth, Tory's best friend, is consumed by the worlds she creates in her novels, oblivious to the relationship developing next door.
Their daughter Prudence is aware, however, and is appalled by the treachery she observes.
Mrs Bracey, an invalid whose grasp on life is slipping, forever peers from her window, constantly prodding her daughters for news of the outside world. And Lily Wilson, a lonely young widow, is frightened of her own home.
Into their lives steps Bertram, a retired naval officer with the unfortunate capacity to inflict lasting damage while trying to do good.

Review by lauralkeet
Review by Liz1564
A year in the life of some inhabitants of the seaside town of Newby Old Town somewhere on the English coast. Taylor keeps the location vague so it could be any number of towns with a seafront which has seen tourists disappear and folks relocate to the nearby new town with its cinema, shops and homes with decent plumbing. The people who are left by the harbour, tradesmen and a few middle class families, are the subjects of this character-driven novel.Nothing much seems to happen during this year. There is no great catastrophy, no life-altering event. An old woman dies, but then she has been bed-ridden for a long time. A middle-aged women relocates to London. A young woman suspects her father of having an affair.But the reader is allowed into the heads of these ordinary characters and that is where the magic begins. Tory Foyle, the middle-age woman is having an affair with her next door neighbor who happens to be the town doctor and the husband of her very best friend. Tory is lovely and still baffled that her former husband divorced her even though she provided him with a beautiful and ordered home, good meals, and a polite son. Her affair is joyless because Robert is a dull lover and the stolen moments of passion amount to kissing in the garage and sneaking time together before he goes home next door.The best friend Beth is an author who escapes into writing and finds her characters really more interesting than her family. She has produced one boring child who is twenly and a five year old who is manipulative. She is unaware of the infidelity right under her nose or is she? I got the impression that she chose not to "see" it because life was just more pleasant if Robert was occupied elsewhere. Then there is her daughter Prudence who seems a bit off. She is called beautiful but has no spark and, because her dad is unfaithful, she talks herself into rejecting love. Yet her favorite pastime is lying naked in bed and allowing her Siamese cats to rub against her body. Ironically she has a sort of beau who meets her in graveyards and reads her John Donne or his own really bad poetry.And then there are the other characters, equally important. Mrs Bracey, the obese dying old woman, seems at first to be just unpleasant and a burden to her daughters. But when she muses about her childhood and remembers magical days growing up by the harbour she becomes a geniune poet who missed her calling. Her girls, sensible Maisie who runs the family second-hand clothing shop and Iris who dreams that surely one day Noel Coward or Olivier will walk into the pub and offer the beautiful barmaid a screen test, do care about their demanding, bloated mother.Two others deserve mention. The outside observer, "artist" and retired naval officer Bertram Hemingway, fancies himself a fine painter if he can only bother to put paint to canvas. He is must more adept at kindly intruding into others lives only to leave them when he becomes bored. He has a courtly manner which charms some women, although others see him as a ridiculous old man. Finally there is the frightened youngish widow Lily Wilson who runs the Waxworks Exhibition with no success. She is scared of the figures of the murderers, mice in the walls, and of being alone. When Bertram draws her out and then drops her, she tries to carry on by going to the pub every night for her two drinks and companionship. But the only people interested in her are a French sailor who tries to sell her illegal perfume and an old librarian who urges her away from reading Lady Audley's Secret and hands her boring biographies. An unforgettable images is of Lily dusting the insides of the Duchess of Windsor's nostrils before the exhibit opens for the season.And because this is an Elizabeth Taylor novel there is a sense of the ridiculous. Prudence stinks up the house cooking cows' udders for her cats. Tory's sweet son describes life at school as being wonderful and then goes on to talk about bullying, falling out of trees and being afraid of having to get in a boxing ring. He signs his notes to his mother "Yours faithfully, E. Foyle!" Tory tries to squeeze Beth into a corset and dress her in stylish clothes for Beth's trip to London and the end result is that Beth is laced in so tightly that she cannot sit down! Bertram puzzles over the Mimosa cafe placard announcing "Fried God' for luncheon until he realizes that the "g" is really a fancy "c."In fifty years, the area around the harbour in Newby will be very fashionable prime real estate. The Waxworks Exhibition, the second-hand clothing shop, and the Mimosa cafe will be replaced by fancy boutiques and trendy restaurants. The pub will be redesigned and cater to the tourists who once again flock to the seaside. The fishermen with their slimy nets and smelly clothing will be long gone, and yachts will fill the basin. The lighthouse will endure, but without the keepers to tend the lamp. And the view of the harbour will keep changing.
Review by jennieg
A tedious book about dull people in a boring town. I did not bother to finish this dog.
Review by brenzi
We've all seen them: has-been sea-side resorts. They used to be THE place to go but over the years their charm has declined and their attraction has disappeared leaving behind a small populace of down on their luck, salt of the earth, hard-working people who care for each other in intimate ways. That's a description of Newby, an English coastal fishing village in the years following WWII that serves as the setting of Elizabeth Taylor's novel. It was her descriptions of this setting that initially drew me in:"To the men on the boats the harbour was at first dingy and familiar, a row of buildings, shops, café, pub, with peeling plaster of apricot and sky blue; then as the boats steered purposefully from the harbour-mouth to sea, houses rose up in tiers, the church-tower extricated itself from the roofs, the lettering on the shops faded and the sordid became picturesque." (Page 5)But it was her finely tuned characterizations that really made this novel stand out and will send me scurrying to look for more of her novels. Taylor used a simple formula to produce the devastating sense of loneliness that is her main theme. The forward in my edition points out that she allowed us into the minds of her main characters and utilized small vignettes to set the stage for their dilemmas with frequent breaks to other characters. It was incredibly effective.Many of the characters are suffering lasting effects from the war. Tory (Victoria) Foyle, a divorcee whose husband fell in love (and married) a female officer he met while serving in the war, is having an affair with the town's doctor who just happens to be married to Tory's best friend, Beth, a novelist who is so wrapped up in the world she is creating that she's unaware of events happening in the world that actually surrounds her. Tory's son Edward is away at boarding school, suffering from home sickness that his mother doesn't recognize or appreciate, and aching for his father. The widow Lily Wilson, cannot get used to the isolation being alone brings and dreads returning to her flat behind the wax museum she and her husband, lost in the war, used to run. Mrs. Bracey, bedridden and the neighborhood gossip, enthroned at her perch at her bedroom window where she:"sat in judgment. Guilt she saw, treachery and deceit and self-indulgence. She did not see, as God might be expected to, their sensations of shame and horror, their compulsion towards one another, for which they dearly paid, nor in what danger they so helplessly stood, now, in middle-age, not in any safe harbour, but thrust out to sea with none of the brave equipment of youth to buoy them up, no romance, no delight." (Page 208)These three women and retired sea captain, Bertram Hemingway, are the main characters. He has arrived at the village to paint the lovely scenes that his imagination has a hard time transferring to easel because he can't capture the shifting light. Taylor also manages to create supporting characters that are crucial to the plot and the theme. The doctor and Beth's daughter, Prudence, adolescent and socially awkward, is important for much of the action, as are her parents. And Mrs. Bracey's daughters, Iris and Maisie, although totally dominated by their mother, contribute to the idea that everyone is waiting for their mother to die. Elizabeth Taylor has captured the essence of loneliness in this stunning portrait of life in a post WWII English fishing village. Highly recommended.
Review by -Cee-
A different kind of book focusing on a handful of characters living in an old fishing village in England. The town is dying and those left are remnants of a by-gone era. Lots of introspection, judgement, and speculation paint a sad picture of what this town and its people have become. You begin to wonder if any of the townfolk can be saved from themselves.The writing is wonderful. It starts out scattered and all comes together like a woven tapestry. Even better, there are lots of zingers in what this author wants you to think about and notice. I loved several quotable passages - this following being one of my favorites:"The day comes in slowly to those who are ill. The night has separated them from the sleepers, who return to them like strangers from a distant land, full of clumsy preparations for living, the earth itself creaking towards the light."Not action-packed - no violence, sex, or superheros- this is a perceptive look at what it is to be human in a forgotten little town. Slowly unfolding, but not boring...
