The proinflammatory and proatherogenic mediator, soluble CD40 ligand (CD40L), is increased in the metabolic syndrome (MS) and released from platelets. We hypothesized that adiponectin modulates platelet function, and we sought to evaluate the association of adiponectin and sCD40L levels with platelet aggregation in MS and the effects of adiponectin on platelet aggregation and activation. Platelet aggregation and circulating adiponectin, sCD40L and P-selectin were determined in 30 controls and 30 patients with MS. Also, in vitro studies were performed in platelet-rich plasma from nine healthy volunteers. Adiponectin receptors were demonstrated by Western blotting and flow cytometry. ADP and epinephrine platelet aggregation was measured after preincubation with adiponectin. sCD40L and P-selectin secretion was measured in the supernatants by ELISA. Patients with MS had higher sCD40L and P-selectin than controls (5.96 ± 0.50 vs. 4.28 ± 0.41 ng/ml, P < 0.05, and 151 ± 8 vs. 122 ± 9 ng/ml, P < 0.05). By contrast, adiponectin was lower in patients with MS than in controls (5.25 ± 0.30 vs. 7.35 ± 0.34 μg/ml, P < 0.001). Higher platelet aggregation was found in MS. Adiponectin inversely correlated with P-selectin (R = −0.35, P = 0.009), sCD40L (r = −0.24, P = 0.05) and epinephrine and collagen induced aggregation (r = −0.80, P = 0.005; r = −0.70, P = 0.011). Platelets express the receptors for adiponectin. Platelet aggregatory response to epinephrine and ADP significantly decreased following preincubation with adiponectin (96 ± 4 vs. 23 ± 3%, P < 0.001, and 102 ± 9 vs. 85 ± 9%, P = 0.004). Adiponectin prevented platelet sCD40L release (1.63 ± 0.15 vs. 2.04 ± 0.20 ng/ml, P < 0.001). Enhanced platelet aggregation and activation markers are found in MS associated with low adiponectin concentrations. Novel evidence is provided demonstrating that adiponectin has antithrombotic properties, since it inhibits platelet aggregation and platelet activation.

the metabolic myndrome (MS) consists of the convergence of a variety of risk factors in the same individual and is characterized by a general proinflammatory and prothrombotic state that interacts synergistically, causing or accelerating the progression of atherosclerosis. There are different definitions to describe this syndrome. Currently, the more accepted definitions are those of the National Cholesterol Education Program - Third Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP ATP III) and the World Health Organization (WHO). In both, obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension are considered to underlie the metabolic syndrome. Prothrombosis is not yet included in any definition of MS, but the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) consensus group identifies a prothrombotic state related to MS and advises investigating the predictive power of these extra criteria for cardiovascular risk or diabetes. In fact, several investigations demonstrate the association between a prothrombotic state and diabetes (23), obesity (20), and hypertension (17). Furthermore, recent studies demonstrate that obesity increases platelet reactivity (18). Indeed, there are studies that show that patients with MS have higher platelet count (9), increased platelet reactivity and turnover, and lower antiplatelet response to aspirin than controls (24, 25).
CD40 ligand (CD40L) is a proinflammatory mediator expressed with its receptor CD40 in a wide variety of cells. There is in vitro and in vivo evidence of their participation in atherothrombosis. In addition to the cellular form of CD40L, there is a soluble form (sCD40L) secreted by activated platelets, which circulates in plasma. Our group has previously described that patients with MS have higher platelet derived soluble CD40L than controls (15).
Adipose tissue, in excess in patients with MS, secretes, among other cytokines, adiponectin. Reduced adiponectin serum levels correlate with obesity (11), insulin resistance (7), and type 2 diabetes (3). In addition to its metabolic actions, adiponectin has anti-inflammatory and antiatherogenic effects through its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) expressed on monocytes, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells. Furthermore, there are investigations that confer an antithrombotic role on adiponectin (10) and associate platelet activation with low serum adiponectin (4). The aims of the present work were 1) to compare platelet aggregation and sCD40L levels in patients with MS and evaluate its association with adiponectin concentrations and 2) to study the in vitro effects of adiponectin on platelet aggregation and sCD40L release.
Recombinant human adiponectin was purchased from Preprotech. Endotoxin level was less than 0.1 ng/μg. Epinephrine, l-adenosine 52-diphosphate, and collagen were purchased from Arkray. The anti-adiponectin antibody was purchased from R&D Systems.
Study population.
The study was performed in 30 healthy individuals (controls) and 30 patients with MS attending the Internal Medicine Department of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra for a general check-up. All participants underwent a complete medical examination. MS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program - Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines, with modification of waist criterion into body mass index (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). Exclusion criteria were the presence of impaired renal or liver function, arteritis, connective tissue diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases, coronary artery disease, or stroke. None of the patients had taken aspirin, platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, or thienopyridines in the previous 6 mo.
Anthropometric measurements, including weight and height, were obtained using standardized techniques. BMI was calculated using the formula weight (kg)/height2(m). Blood pressure was measured on the right arm with a mercury sphygmomanometer with the subjects in a seated position and after a 5-min rest. The average of two measurements, at the beginning and end of the visit, was considered.
In one subgroup of the population, platelet aggregation was measured (8 controls and 7 patients with MS). In addition, for the platelet in vitro studies, citrated blood was obtained from nine healthy volunteers who had not taken any medication known to affect platelet function in the previous month.
The local Committee on Human Research approved the study, performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and all participants provided written informed consent.
Biochemical analyses.
Serum and plasma of patients and controls were collected into Vacutainer tubes. Fasting serum glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured by standard laboratory techniques.
Serum adiponectin and P-selectin were measured by ELISA (R&D System, Minneapolis, MN) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The detection limits were 0.003 and 0.010 ng/ml, respectively. sCD40L levels in serum and in platelet supernatants were determined by ELISA (BenderMedSystems, Vienna, Austria). The within-assay coefficient of variation for all assays was <10%.
Human platelet aggregation studies.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was prepared by centrifugation of whole citrated blood at 120 g for 10 min at 20°C. Supernatants were drawn into another tube, and the remaining blood was centrifuged at 1,200 g for 15 min to obtain platelet-poor plasma (PPP). Platelet count was performed in the automatic hematology analyzer ABX Pentra 60 (Horiba ABX Diagnostics, France). The PRP was diluted with the PPP corresponding to each patient to obtain a final concentration of 400 × 106 platelets/ml.
Platelet aggregation was measured in the subgroup of 15 patients by activating platelets through the addition of epinephrine (3.34 μg/ml), l-adenosine 52-diphosphate (ADP, 1 μg/ml), or collagen (5 μg/ml) for 5 min at 37°C under constant stirring (10,000 rpm) in an automated platelet aggregation recorder (Aggrecorder II; DIC Kyoto Daiichi Chemical, kyoto, Japan). This aggregometer measures the variation in absorbance caused by platelet aggregation after the addition of an inducer (ADP, collagen, epinephrine, etc.) to the PRP. The data used for diagnosis are the aggregation pattern of the maximum aggregation ratio setting PPP at 0%.
Dose-response curves to adiponectin (0–40 μg/ml) were performed in two healthy volunteers to select an adequate concentration to study the effect of adiponectin on platelet aggregation and sCD40L release. PRP from healthy volunteers (n = 9) was preincubated with or without adiponectin (final concentration 25 μg/ml; Peprotech) for 40 min at 37°C before the addition of the platelet aggregation inducer. The specificity of the effects was evaluated preincubating adiponectin with an anti-adiponectin antibody (25 μg/ml) for 30 min at 37°C. Then, the blocked adiponectin was added, and platelets were stimulated with ADP or epinephrine.
Effect of adiponectin on platelet sCD40L secretion.
To investigate the effects of adiponectin on platelet sCD40L secretion, PRP from each healthy volunteer (n = 9) was pretreated with or without adiponectin (25 μg/ml) for 40 min at 37°C. Then, maximal sCD40L release was induced through the incubation with l-adenosine 52-diphosphate (ADP, 5.5 μg/ml) for 30 min at 37°C. Aliquots were centrifuged at 3,500 rpm for 7 min. Supernatants were collected, and sCD40L was measured by ELISA. Pellets were resuspended in platelet lysis buffer [20 mmol/l Tris (pH 7.4), 150 mmol/l NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, and 1 mmol/l EDTA].
Western blotting.
Platelet lysates were used to explore the expression of the receptors of adiponectin, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, by Western blotting. Protein concentration in platelet lysates was assessed by the Bradford method (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Thirty micrograms of protein was fractionated on 12% polyacrylamide gels and transferred into nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked (10% nonfat dry milk in 0.05% Tween 20-TBS) and incubated with a goat monoclonal antihuman AdipoR1 (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) or AdipoR2 (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Bound antibody was detected by peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (donkey anti-goat 1:10,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and visualized using the ECL-Plus chemiluminescence detection system (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ). We included protein extracts from human heart as a negative control.
Flow cytometry.
Human platelets from three different healthy donors were analyzed for surface expression of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 by staining with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-coupled antibodies. FITC antibodies were added to the PRP at a final concentration of 5 μg/ml and incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Cells were analysed in a Bekcman Coulter Epics XL flow cytometer. Isotope-matched IgG was employed as a control. The results are expressed as the mean intensity of fluorescence (MIF) of adiponectin receptors.
Statistical analysis.
Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 15.0. Normal distribution of samples was assessed by the Shapiro-Wilks test. Differences between study groups were evaluated by the Student's t-test for normally or Mann-Whitney U-test for nonnormally distributed variables and χ2 statistic for categorical variables. To investigate differences between experimental conditions, paired Student's t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and Kruskal-Wallis test were used. Pearson and Spearman's correlation test assessed univariate correlations. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to determine whether the association between adiponectin and sCD40L and P-selectin was independent of other confounding factors. For all statistical testing, two-sided probability values were reported, and statistical significance was established at P < 0.05. Data are expressed as means ± SE.
In vivo studies.
The general characteristics of the study population are presented in Table 1. As expected, patients with MS exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) higher BMI, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides levels and lower HDL-cholesterol levels than controls.
Patients with MS had significantly higher serum levels of the markers of platelet activation sCD40L and P-selectin than controls (5.96 ± 0.50 vs. 4.28 ± 0.41 ng/ml, P < 0.05, and 151 ± 8 vs. 122 ± 9 ng/ml, P < 0.05). By contrast, adiponectin levels were significantly lower in patients with MS than in controls (5.25 ± 0.30 vs. 7.35 ± 0.34 μg/ml, P < 0.001) (Fig. 1).
Platelet aggregation induced by ADP or collagen was significantly higher in patients with MS than in the control population (96 ± 4 vs. 86 ± 2%, P = 0.038, and 99 ± 3 vs. 91 ± 3%, P = 0.041). Although epinephrine-induced aggregation tended to be higher in patients with MS (98 ± 3 vs. 89 ± 3%, P = 0.08), it did not reach statistical significance.
We next explored the association between circulating levels of adiponectin and sCD40L with other biochemical and demographic parameters. sCD40L levels correlated with some factors of MS (triglycerides r = 0.49, P = 0.006, and HDL-cholesterol r = −0.53, P = 0.023; Table 2). Similarly, adiponectin inversely correlated with triglycerides (r = −0.49, P < 0.001), BMI (r = −0.33, P = 0.050), and glucose (r = −0.46, P < 0.001) and directly with HDL-cholesterol (r = 0.59, P < 0.001). P-selectin and sCD40L concentrations correlated with platelet count (r = 0.44, P = 0.006, and r = 0.35, P = 0.041, respectively). Interestingly, in the whole population, levels of adiponectin inversely and significantly correlated with the markers of platelet activation P-selectin (r = −0.35, P = 0.009) and sCD40L (r = −0.24, P = 0.05) (Fig. 2). After adjustments for age and sex, adiponectin significantly associated with P-selectin (β = −0.40, P = 0.01) and sCD40L (β = −0.31, P = 0.05). Importantly, in the subgroup, adiponectin significantly and inversely correlated with epinephrine- and collagen-induced aggregation (r = −0.80, P = 0.005, and r = −0.70, P = 0.011, respectively) and nearly reached significance with ADP-induced aggregation (r = −0.59, P = 0.06).
Effect of adiponectin on platelet aggregation.
To investigate whether platelets could respond to adiponectin, we tested by Western blotting whether platelets from healthy volunteers expressed the receptors for adiponectin. Western blot analysis revealed the presence of immunoreactive bands at the expected molecular mass (AdipoR1, 42 kDa; AdipoR2, 35 kDa) in all donors (Fig. 3). Nonactivated human platelets were analysed by flow cytometry for the expression of adiponectin receptors on the cell surface. An increase in MIF was found for both AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 (152 ± 20 and 539 ± 22) compared with the isotope control. AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 expression was compared in platelets obtained from patients with and without MS. No statistically significant differences were found in AdipoR1 or AdipoR2 in patients with MS compared with controls (1.52 ± 0.43 vs. 1.34 ± 0.12 arbitrary units or 2.29 ± 0.87 vs. 1.11 ± 0.29 arbitrary units).
Once it was demonstrated that platelets express receptors for adiponectin, we next studied the effects of adiponectin on platelet aggregation by pretreating platelets with increasing concentrations of adiponectin (range 0–40 μg/ml). Adiponectin dose-dependently decreased epinephrine- and ADP-induced aggregation (Fig. 4, A and B). The effects of adiponectin on collagen-induced aggregation were not so clear, so in follow-up we decided to employ epinephrine and ADP for the in vitro studies. The aggregatory response to epinephrine significantly decreased in platelets following preincubation with adiponectin (25 μg/ml; 96 ± 4 vs. 23 ± 3%, P < 0.001; Fig. 4C). Similarly, adiponectin (25 μg/ml) significantly decreased ADP-induced aggregation (102 ± 9 vs. 85 ± 9%, P = 0.004; Fig. 4D).
To ensure that the observed effects were specific to adiponectin, this adipocytokine was preincubated with an anti-adiponectin antibody (100 ng/ml, 30 min, 37°C). Subsequently, the blocked adiponectin was added to the platelets (n = 3), and they were stimulated with epinephrine or ADP. When adiponectin was preblocked with a specific antibody, there was a reduction of the effect of adiponectin, as epinephrine-induced aggregation of control platelets was 89 ± 1%, incubated with adiponectin 18 ± 1%, and incubated with anti-adiponectin antibody 41 ± 1%. ADP-induced aggregation of control platelets was 88 ± 1%, with adiponectin 20 ± 1%, and with the blocked adiponectin 57 ± 1%. This is a reduction of the effect mediated by adiponectin in epinephrine- and ADP-induced platelet aggregation of 67 and 51%, respectively.
Effect of adiponectin on P-selectin and sCD40L release.
We next aimed to study platelet activation by measuring biomarkers released from platelet α-granules upon activation with different agonists. ADP was employed as a potent inductor of sCD40L and P-selectin release. sCD40L and P-selectin were quantified in platelet supernatants following stimulation and centrifugation. Interestingly, adiponectin significantly and dose-dependently decreased sCD40L release (Fig. 5A). Maximal effect was observed at 25 μg/ml. This concentration was selected in order to evaluate the effect in all donors. ADP-induced P-selectin release was significantly prevented by adiponectin (1.77 vs. 1.07 ng/ml). ADP significantly increased sCD40L release (nonstimulated vs. stimulated: 1.63 ± 0.15 vs. 4.38 ± 0.31 ng/ml, P < 0.001; Fig. 5B) and preincubation of platelets with adiponectin significantly prevented sCD40L release (4.38 ± 0.31 and 2.04 ± 0.20 ng/ml, P < 0.001; Fig. 5B). Preincubation of adiponectin with an anti-adiponectin antibody before its addition to the platelets resulted in a 55% reduction in sCD40L platelet release. Adiponectin alone had no effect on sCD40L release.
The main findings of the current study are the following: 1) sCD40L, P-selectin, and platelet aggregation are increased in MS and adiponectin inversely correlates with sCD40L, P-selectin, and platelet aggregation; 2) platelets express the adiponectin receptors AdipoR1 and AdipoR2; and 3) adiponectin inhibits platelet aggregation and platelet P-selectin and sCD40L release.
Metabolic syndrome and prothrombosis.
It is known that patients with MS present a proinflammatory and prothrombotic state. The individual risk factors obesity (2), diabetes (24), and hypertension (29) and also MS (24) have been associated with high platelet activity. The data from the present study show that patients with MS exhibited higher platelet activity compared with control subjects, which is in agreement with previous publications (24). Also, the present study confirms previous reports describing higher levels of the markers of platelet activation P-selectin and sCD40L and lower levels of adiponectin in patients with MS than in controls (12, 14, 15, 21, 22). Our group (15, 27) previously demonstrated that platelets from patients with diabetes or MS release higher amounts of sCD40L than platelets from controls, which could account for the elevated sCD40L levels observed in these patients. Glucose and advanced glycation end products have been described as potential triggers (26), but other mediators can be involved. Here, we identify adiponectin as a mediator of obesity-related cardiovascular complications that also modulates platelet sCD40L release. As platelets are the main source of circulating sCD40L, it is tempting to speculate that, in conditions where there is a decrease of adiponectin, such as obesity, diabetes, or insulin resistance, the control of platelet activation and aggregation will be diminished. The finding of low adiponectin levels and high aggregation in patients with MS and the negative correlation of adiponectin with sCD40L circulating levels supports this hypothesis.
Some studies have evaluated the association of platelet count with MS with controversial results (9, 13, 28). We did not find differences in platelet count between controls and patients with MS, but sCD40L levels increased along with platelet count.
Effects of adiponectin on platelet aggregation. Adipose tissue is an endodrine organ that releases bioactive molecules known as adipokines. One of them, adiponectin, has been described to present antiatherogenic and anti-inflammatory properties beyond its insulin-sensitizing effects (8). In addition, a proaggregatory platelet phenotype has been described in adiponectin-deficient mice, and recombinant adiponectin inhibited enhanced platelet aggregation (10), providing a new link between adipose tissue and thrombosis. Platelets contribute critically to the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases, but so far there is no evidence of the presence of adiponectin receptors on platelets. The present study demonstrates by two different techniques that this cell type expresses these receptors; thus, platelets comprise a target for new antiatherosclerotic actions of adiponectin. However, very few studies have evaluated the direct effect of adiponectin on platelets. A previous report demonstrated that adiponectin has effects on human and murine platelets (19). The kind of recombinant adiponectin employed is of relevance, as this study showed that recombinant globular adiponectin, but not full-length adiponectin, stimulated platelet aggregation and dense granule secretion. Another study found that low concentrations of adiponectin (<0.5 μg/ml) did not influence the effects of ADP and collagen on platelet adhesion (5).
By contrast, our results show that exposure of platelets to full-length adiponectin at the concentrations that are found in plasma in lean individuals (10–30 μg/ml) inhibited platelet aggregation. Also, adiponectin exists in different multimeric isoforms that may have different biological activities, and the high-molecular-weight oligomers correlate better with metabolic parameters (6) (16). Future studies will need to clarify the effect of the different multimeric isoforms on platelet function, but our findings provide a new link between obesity and cardiovascular pathologies and suggest that alteration of adiponectin concentrations could alter the human thromboembolic potential.
Effects of adiponectin on sCD40L release.
Activated platelets express CD40L in the surface that is cleaved and released. The binding of sCD40L to its receptor CD40 participates in the initiation, progression, and weakening of the atheroma plaques. Also, the involvement of the CD40-CD40L pathway in atherothrombosis has been extensively studied (1), although the exact mechanisms underlying this association remain under constant study. We (15) have previously shown that adiponectin downregulates the CD40-CD40L dyad in macrophages and endothelial cells, but so far the effect on platelets has not been investigated. The novel observation that adiponectin is capable of preventing platelet sCD40L release demonstrates that this adipokine has a protector role from platelet activity and provides a new link between obesity and thrombosis.
One limitation of the present study is that in vitro platelet aggregation studies have been performed in healthy donors, adding adiponectin to the PRP. Therefore the adiponectin is additional to that already present in the plasma, so these are relatively high concentrations of adiponectin. Although we did not find differences in AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 expression in patients with and without MS, future studies will be required to evaluate whether platelets from different donors respond differently to adiponectin. The finding of adiponectin receptors is preliminary, and more studies should definitively clarify the expression; also, the possibility that adiponectin exerts its effects on platelets by binding to other receptor cannot be excluded. Also, to show specificity of the adiponectin effects, we blocked the adipokine with an antibody before adding it to the platelets. It is possible that the antibody does not bind completely to the portion that interacts with its receptor, which could explain the reduction in the observed effects, but not the full blockade.
Another limitation is that we employed PRP, not isolated platelets, for the in vitro experiments. According to our experience in previous experiments, washed platelets and PRP yield comparable results when one is evaluating aggregation and release of activation markers. Thus, since obtaining washed platelets is tedious, and very often they activate in the process of isolation, we decided to employ PRP.
In summary, this study describes increased sCD40L and platelet aggregation associated with low adiponectin in MS and provides novel evidence demonstrating that adiponectin has antithrombotic properties, since it inhibits platelet aggregation and activation. These findings suggest that the hypoadiponectinemia found in patients with MS could in part contribute to the increased risk of vascular thrombosis as it indirectly affects hemostasis.

Hi Patricia
Saw message and was wondering if you can fill in a couple blanks. My GGGgrandfather was John Hanning and his wife was Deborah. John died 8 Mar 1871. I believe he was born in Prussia (Germany). My question is do you have info that could make sure that John Hanning is John P Hanning's (Born abt 1812),father. Next in line was Obediah Hanning in the 1850 census for Houlton, Maine. In this line would have been Merrill Hanning too. I believe John P. and Merrill were brothers but have no positve proof.
Thank you for your time, Fred

In order to efficiently integrate different systems in the domain of financial messaging, Incentage features a high level, domain specific language to describe the transformations from input message formats to output message formats. This transformation is described in a so called "Rules Repository". This repository contains a set of message types, and each message type is described in terms of its input fields, output fields, and a sequence of transformation rules for each field.
To test the correctness of these repositories, it's beneficial to have a set of input messages for which all transformation steps have been executed at least once. To create this set of input messages automatically, it is necessary to use a constraint solver that computes the input, based on the set of rules. This idea can be compared to automatic generation of test suites for OO Lanuges, like Pex (see > http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/pex/)
Your goal is to design, implement, and integrate a test-data generator, which provides a fast and reliable way of generating a complete set of test-data for a given rules repository.

Aaron Brown/Tech InsiderLet's say you're driving along one day, going the speed limit, everything's chill, and then someone pulls out in front of you abruptly.
You hit them.
It's not your fault, but they claim otherwise. Oh, and let's say you only have liability insurance.
Without a dash cam, you'd likely be stuck paying for those damages by yourself.
With a dash cam, the whole incident would be recorded and that information could be passed on to law enforcement who could then take matters into their own hands.
Now, a dash cam won't prevent an accident from happening, but it can surely work to make your life easier after an unfortunate event like that goes down.
To see what living with a little camera affixed to my windshield was like, Cobra, an automotive gadget-making company, was nice enough to lend me its Drive HD CDR 855 BT model for testing.
This is what I learned about dash cams.

I'm sick of my stupid ass neighborhood and just finished a letter to the owner of my building. The funniest thing about this entire letter is that my rent is only going up 30 bucks a month but still I'm sick of it. Wanna read the letter? No? well screw you go somewhere else cause here it is:
I have a few things I wanted to say before signing a new lease. I have lived at my apartment for 5 years now and as I've discussed with you whether you believe it or not, have single handedly helped The Asconia improve it's worth probably more than even I realize.
One example is that after my persistent phone calls to 311, the ASPCA, you and your staff, and physically walking over and having conversations with the owners of the barking dog, I believe that situation is finally resolved. I say that because I don't hear the dog barking constantly anymore. I wasn't the only one who was complaining I was just the most vocal about it, as I can be sometimes.
Another example is how I've recently been having phone conversations with the local police department including supervisors and detectives about the constant drug problem in front of our building. I don't know if you're aware of it or not but there are several young drug dealers that take over our front stoop on certain days. On a beautiful Sunday a few weeks ago no one who actually lives in our building was outside enjoying the day because there were 3-5 kids outside selling. In my mind Manny doesn't want to get too involved, as I wouldn't either if I had a family living on the first floor. I'm sure these kids know him and his family and I would prefer not getting him involved. He does speak to them sometimes and I think they wander off, but end up coming back eventually.
All that being said I noticed they haven't been around the past week or so and it could be the result of the dialogue I had with the detectives, but I really don't know for sure.
I have never received a reasonable offer from you for a 1 bedroom apartment. And as I've said before and again in this letter, I am one of the people who has helped improve this neighborhood and put plenty of extra cash in your back pocket. The rents in this area haven't gone up because you slap a new coat of paint on the walls or throw in a new fridge and you know that. I'm sure you can find someone to quickly move into my space but you're always taking a chance to get a kid who blasts his stereo at 3am and gets into screaming arguments late at night with other tenants. I'm speaking of the young man you had to get rid of on the 5th floor next to Jon's studio, I think that might be apartment 52.
So here at the end of the letter all I am doing is making a small request. I am asking for my rent not to be raised for the next lease. I am getting awfully tired of putting effort into this community and receiving nothing back. I've spent plenty of time promoting the new wine bar and all new upscale restaurants such as Bohio, and have had a few friends move into the area over the last few years. That's about it.
You can mail me or email me your answer."

next Monday or Tuesday.
just to set expectations. I was hoping for this Friday, but that is not going to be possible.
next Monday or Tuesday.
just to set expectations. I was hoping for this Friday, but that is not going to be possible.
Thanks for the update, cant wait to hear all the details.
for the release? -or for more info?
Does the delay meen there will be a delay in the release date?
Sp2 will released after the expansion pack.
So no use worrying too much about sp2 until you see the expansion pack has been released.
On a positive note, the xpack will include the sp2 updates. If you install the xpack you are not required to install sp2 as you will already have it.
So if you buy the expansion pack you will have DX10 (if you've got the right graphics card) and you don't have to wait until SP2?
Does it will fix the FSX performances with high-end computers?
If you buy the xpack you will have SP2, so you will have DX10 immediately. Furthermore there will be no need to install sp2 when it's released because the sp2 content is already in the xpack.
This info was posted by Phil in AVsims forum. Im just repeating it to give Phil a break.
I've tried to follow the post in AVSIM but I am still confused.
If I buy Acceleration will I get SP2 and the DX10 patch?
And when can Acceleration be expected, when will its launch date be announced? Not a definite maybe – the real date, when will this be.
And if I don't buy Acceleration how long after that has been released can I expect a standalone SP2/DX10 patch?
No news until Today, so I think this is no good news for the news post…. When, when does it come?
Hi Phil!
We thank you for the hard work you and your team are having because of some fanatic people (us, more than 100.000)!
About SP2, I have a request, if possible of course…
It's about the "ban list", can you had a feature to ban and/or kick someone directly from the session (like using the chat and ban the name) without exit or close the session when you are hosting.
Thank you very much!
Does this update come with windows vista auto updates or I have to do it manually?
Hy Phil you said that you'll post today about the dx10 features… but you didn't write a word here, until now… so my question is: is the post again delayed?
Sorry about my impatitence but I can't wait any longer… so please give us a sign Phil!!!
Well it's Tuesday. Iv been watching my rss feed for the update. I'm eager to hear some detailed news on the progress. Hopefully lots of details;)
SP2 will prolly look like this i guess?: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=221740180&size=o
I have very high expectations on this release..waiting for the update 🙂
The only thing less likely than that happening, is SP2 being released any time soon 😉
Another thing not likely to happen is the report seeing the light today. Im sorry Phil. I guess u are a superb team of programmers but looks like u have a hard time with deadline commitment.
Shouldn't u have started DX10 research and development before it came out? After all it's Microsoft. Other non MS games posted screenies even before FSX came out (in dx9).
You are taking as long as for delivering a whole new game imho. It has been a year since it came out. DX10 has been out for about 8 months now as well.
Im not pushing u and dont mean to be disrespectful in any way, please dont misunderstand this. But I guess we do have some reasons to be dissappointed.
That's it Phil, you leave me no choice.
I will kill one kitten every 20 minutes until you make your post.
Just kiddin', think I'll go outside for a while.
is this a prank? or is a post suppose to be coming today?.
Um…. the delayed post is delayed?
I don't know whats worse, waiting for an update from Phil or waiting for an update from Joel (SB dude)!!
according to simviation the expantion pack is coming on tuesday octuber 23, yet another tuesday.
Yes the expansion pack is announced – does this mean that if I buy Acceleration I get the SP2/DX10 patch as part of the whole thing??
If I don't buy it, when could I expect to be able to download a standalone SP2/DX10 patch?
Being a little cynical I suspect to get the patch early, I will be buying Acceleration whenever it arrives in Australia!
In Phil's defense, he and his team aren't required to communicate anything to us. I for one appreciate any tidbits of info they provide, rather than waiting for years (like many other software titles out there have provided for) to hear anything. And yes, I too am bummed when a "promise" is made to report something new, but come on…give these guys a break. Just my opinion…
yea, any news is always good news.
Jeez :-).
Gentlemen (and ladies), just take it easy.
As far as I know, the Acceleration is due out in about 3 weeks, and it will contain the SP2-DX10 in its entirety. So even if Phil doesn't post anything, I am sure most of you will have plenty of opportunities to evaluate the SP2 by yourselves.
As noted before, Phil said "should", not "will".
So in the meanwhile, go out, enjoy life, it's not all about flightsimming. I am sure that at most of the places you guys happen to occupy some nice beer can be found within a C172 range.
That post will very likely come sooner or later. Just don't let yourself be dragged in into this unintentional little psychological warfare :-).
(PS I just got my FSX rig yesterday evening, so I must say that post would be welcome even by me 🙂 ).
i'm still waiting… but in the mean time do you:
you know aristotle once said 'e zoee ine ena agouree,e gineka ene tho pothilato' ?
Yeah of course they are not obligated to give us any info, and any info they give is well appreciated.But when a deadline is given (to us -the customers of this product)we expect that we can rely on this (its all a matter of trust).Its better not to give any deadline than to give a deadline which is not going to be kept, and even when certain unexpected things can come during a project and an extension of time will be needed a tiny post to show that you respect your customers is not such a big thing.
yeah well I guess some delays can be expected, and I'm quite sure we'll have news soon enough from the team.
AS for the above things on the SP2 included in the Expansion Pack, I'm quite sure it is not the case, as the Acceleration Pack is gold, it means they'll start to make the box stuff, and the CD or DVDs. I also don't rememebr reading anywhere that the Acceleration Pack would include it.
I think the SP2 development is completely different from the expension, that "only" adds new missions and stuff on FSX.

PENSIONS: Series not about state workers
The recent series on abuse of pension benefits by government retirees is important (TNT, 4-7), and it deserves a full-blown investigation by the state auditor. I write, however, to expand on a concern expressed by a letter writer (TNT, 4-10).
The boxes describing the series in The News Tribune stated that it was about "the benefits state workers receive." A person who read the articles knows that this is not true. It leads to an impression that the problem is with the benefits of state workers. In fact, all of those cited in the stories were never state …

Cannot open Network Files, permission error
Hi everybody,
Currently, I am trying to open a picture in a network drive using windows photo viewer, I get Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because you don't have the correct permissions to access the file location. I tried opening, word, xls any file from the network directory, and all I got was permission error.
Next, on the same computer, I opened my virtual machine and login as the same user, all files opened fine.
Next, on a different computer, signing in the same username, everything works fine as well.
On the network drive, I have my username in the group with full control. So, I'm not sure if it is the network or my computer permission problem.
I found out that when I did a security check on the c:\windows folder, Administrator username does not have any permission at all. Is that normal?
Users (dell\Users) have read & execute, list folder contents, and read permission checked.
Anybody any ideas?

Thanks. But I just found out that my other computer administrator group does not have fullcontrol on c:\windows folder as well. So, that ruled out the problem why I do not have correct permissions to access the network files.
At one point, I remember I was meddling with Owner, and permissions and while it was applying, i accidentally cancelled the process. From then onwards, I was missing permission to access network files only from this computer. But if i were to run a VM on this same computer, I was able to view all files.
Any ideas?

text: We live in a world of symmetry, or at least we tend to prefer symmetrical things to unsymmetrical things. For the sake of dramatizing let's just call it what it is; chaos. Things that have no symmetry and no pattern, are in a state of chaos and chaos is nuts. So we prefer symmetry. We use in design, we use it in engineering, in science. It even occurs beyond our control in nature (butterflies, sea shells, snow flakes) and beyond our reach in space! Things make sense when they're symmetrical. So when I look at my €1000 iPhone 6 Plus screen and notice that the spacing and gutters between the icons and dock are not symmetrical, I just have to ask. WTF Apple? (more…)

|Let the memory of RAMIRO be with us forever
"Yesterday was 10 years since our Son Ramiro has gone to be with the Lord!! Life is still not any eazier, I just learned to live with the pain and except the things that I cannot change!! It makes me happy to see his brother and his Family go visit hiis Resting Place!! I am to far away to have been there!! I carry him in my heart always but I still love going there because I know thats where his remines are resting..."
"thank you to all our friends and family that still carry him in your hearts!! Yes it still is very hard, I know that I could have excepted his death at war, but not this way. It shouldn't happen to any Family!! Only God in his time will get Ramiro the justice he deserves. I am not bitter anymore just sad for this world is going to shit!! Only God can save us all with his messangers to save the world!!"
"Had a dream the other night... you and I were sitting having a great conversation. I did most of the talking (like normal) reminded me so much of the conversation we had before you left for boot camp. You are not far from my thoughts old friend... love you gordo!"
"On June 21st you would have been 34 along with your Twin brother Joey!! August 20th will be 10 years that you left us!! I know that your in a much better place and that we will all be together again one day!! I know that your always with me, at times I can feel you touching my arm and I think it's a bug or a hair and I try to brush it off my arm and there's nothing, then I think it must be you giving me comfort and letting me know your right there with me....I love you Son, may you Rest in Peace!!"
"Son I was reading about the Drill Instructor's that were found guilty of the abuse of the recruit's at MCRD when you were there in 06 and 07. I am wondering if they didn't think that you were going to say something about what was going on with some of the recruit's being mistreated. I know that a lot of the reports by the press said that they didn't know the cause of your death. So if you hung your self why didn't they say your roommate found you hanging, instead they said that you were on your bunk unresponsive!! This is a cover up and I want answers!! The log book also was missing, who would be able to take it.. What did they do to it or what changes did they do to it?? Who went into your barracks on the 19th of August. Who's names were on that log book??? There is a lot of corruption and I wish that it wouldn't be like this.. I know now that someone wanted you dead because 2 months before your death when your car was totaled from the back and front of the car someone had to have hit your mustang from behind and throw your mustang into the brick wall. Sgt. Gonzales, Klein, and another Marine were with you. After that you didn't want me to say that Galvan was with you when you were visiting us. You stopped bring Sgt. Gonzales, Klein and some of the other Marines over to the house. I also remember when Galvan was in the hospital after your death, he said he run into a tree. I truly think that someone was trying to scare him to shut up and not say anything or he would get murdered like you were. God please let TRUMP BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT so that we can get all the corruption out into the open.."
"Son I just sent a message to Dateline about your death. Hopefully they might want to find out what really happened, I know you didn't take your Life but I want answers with all the truth. I'll keep fighting for you until I get the truth. No one has the right in killing anyone because they just don't like you...I promise I will not stop fighting for the truth..."
"With the heaviest of hearts would like to share a candle for your son & family I hope you get your answers you need.may god bless you amen"
"I use to have so much faith in our Government till the death of my Son I started noticing a lot of things that were not right!! Now I don't trust them at all!! When I wrote to our Senator Kevin McCarthey a lot of people told me that he wasn't going to help me find out who killed my Son but I told them that he would!! Well I guess I was wrong!! He never contacted me he would only do it through his Secretary!! You would think that my Son being born in Bakersfield, California and a U.S.Marine he would have done more for him. The Basham Funeral Home Staff along with Mr John Basham were so thoughtful and loving they do care for our Community!! I do believe that (some) of the people in Washington DC are only there to collect a check and run the Country to benefit them!! There are to many Coverup's that should be investigated!! We need only 2 term Senator's and everyone else working in Office just like our Presidents!! What makes them so special? We need change in our Government!!"
"I pray to God that our next President will be Donald Trump because I feel in my heart that he will be a good leader!! I would also like for him as President to investigate all deaths on Military base of our troops better than NCIS is doing now!! I would love to discuss our Son Ramiro's death with him or someone from his campaign!! PLEASE VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!!!!"
"I have been thinking all day today when you were in Boot Camp Son that your Drill Instructor would bring you Home to Visit on The weekends after you Graduated from Boot Camp!! I thought it was strange but never thought twice about it!! I was also thinking about the weekend that he bought you home and he along with two other Marines were going out and you were going to be the designated driver and woke up to your Dad yelling at you about what had happened to your car?? Crashed from the front and back of it!! You said that the Sgt. Drill instructor had pulled your car home with his truck and never bothered to wake us up!! You said that you ran into the brick wall to avoid hitting a dog, now I ask myself why was the back of the car crashed too??Why was the SGT. always also talking to that strange woman also?? Did they have a plan in killing you?? THERE is so many questions that I keep asking myself!! I remember you telling me that the Sgt. said to you to tell all your Fellow Marines that he was your Cousin that's why he was always around you!! MY SON WAS MURDERED AND I WANT ANSWER'S!! THEN WHEN THEY SAID HE WAS FOUND ON HIS BED DEAD THEN THEY SAID HANGING!! WHAT A LIE WHY WOULD YOU KEEP CHANGING YOUR STORY!! THERE WAS A BIG COVER UP!!"
"Hoping that our next President will be one that will stand up for America and what it stands for!! We need a President that will not be afraid to do what is right for our Country!! We need to elect our Congress and make sure they are really going to do what they are elected to do!! We the People need the truth and not what they think we want to hear!! I have lost my faith in our Government since our Son's Death and how it was being covered up!! If it was one of their Children they would most likely be raising hell like I have been!! I want our President to give the raises where they need to be given to our Troops, Police Dept, Fire Dept and all the People that are out there risking their Life's to keep America Safe!! And not just sitting and collecting a check from the Tax Payers money!! I see a lot of raises where there shouldn't be given!! There is a lot of deaths in the Military that are called Suicide and not investigated the way it should be!!"
"Today Visiting our Son Ramiro's Resting Place with Fresh White Roses!! I use to be this strong Woman that couldn't be broken now I am so sensitive and my feelings get hurt so easy. Since my Son's death I can't be strong anymore!! I try to hide my feelings but I just can't!! If anything can break you it's losing a Child in Death!!"
"Son it don't matter to your Dad and I, we will visit you at night just to make sure you have Flowers!! Your Dad just got out of Work and we headed to Visit you at your Resting Place!! All the years that you were here with us we made sure you had everything you needed!! Now all we can do is give you Flowers, and carry you in our Hearts Forever!! We love you Son and we will never forget you!! Only Parents that have lost a Child can understand!! We Love you Son!!"
"Son yesterday I was sad and mad at the same time because of what was done to you and that if I would not have fought for you to get Justice your Death would have just been another Suicide like many others. I know you to well and I know you would never have done this to your self!! The Marines responsible for your death didn't know how close of a Family we are and that I would never let them get away with it!! I know that I am not the only Mother going through this and that there is lots of Families Grieving for their loved ones!!"
"God I hope that you send us a President that will bring our Country together!! That you won't allow for injustice to our American People and that no matter how bad the situation is tell us all the truth. We vote for you and then we the American People get let down!! We stand by our Military and for what it stands for!! Investigate every death in our Military as if it was your own Son, Daughter or Grandchild!! Treat People the way you would want your Family to be treated!!"
"Thinking about my Son Ramiro like always and what a great loss to our Family he is!! There is not one day that I don't think about him!! I'm glad he lived a life of Joy and he did all the things he wanted to do!! I'm happy that we gave him whatever he wanted and were always there for him and still are!! No one needs to be done injustice the way he was!! He gave his all to the Marine Corp. while training in Boot Camp he never complained!! He trained hard and gave his all in whatever he set his mind too!! You could always count on him and he was there for you!! He would stand up to anyone that was being mistreated he was a true Friend,Son, Brother, Uncle! No and he wasn't a bully but for some reason the bullies didn't like him!! He Shined where ever he went and stood out because of the kind of person he was!! The Sad part is that he didn't get to finish all of his accomplishments!!

I asked him if he was sure that's what he wanted to do!! He said yes Mom I want to do it, don't worry because I can handle it. You know how you had rules for us and we were able to follow them. I know that I can move up in rank and be someone in there. It just makes me so sad that his life was taken and they didn't give him the chance of who he was going to become in the Marine Corp. It hurts me so much because he was cheated from his life and who he was going to become!! Today I have been extra sad just thinking about what was done!! Nothing has ever been the same since then!!"
"Son 7 years ago today we got the worst news that any Parent could ever receive. To us it seems like it was only yesterday!! There is not one day that your Dad and I don't think of you and remember all the fond memories we have of you!! We look forward to the day we will all be together again!! There are times I feel so sad and I'll walk into your room and feel the presence of you and find the comfort to keep moving forward. knowing that one day we will all be together again!! And that your in a place where no one can ever hurt you again!! I know you only feel joy and happiness and that there is no better place than where you are now!! We love so much and we will carry you in our hearts until the day we see you again!! With all of our love, Mom and Dad"
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more—or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist." (Revelation 21:4)
Bible Verse of the Day
Tomorrow will be 7 years that our Son Ramiro left us and to us it's like it just happened. I really believe that his life was taken from him 7 years ago today when another Marine posted on his own MySpace RIP BRO at 5:02 p.m. on the 19th when my Son's body wasn't found until the early morning hours of the 20th..Now how would he have known he was dead???? We have the copy of the page saying RIP BRO on the 19th at 5:02 p.m.
It doesn't get better you only learn to live with the pain!! People say in time no that is not true you only learn to live with your empty heart!! I know he is in a better place and that one day we shall be together again!! That is what keeps me going knowing that one day we will be together again!!"
"Son your birthday was a few days ago I thought with time things would get better!! It's been really hard these pass few years!! We miss you so much and it's so hard when your birthday comes around and all the special days come around!! August 20 th will be 7 years when the door bell rang and I was give the saddest news that you were gone!! My whole life crumbled before me!!"

BSOD when quitting a heavy load game / Driver Verifier
Hi there.
I'm struggeling with an issue on my machine and hopefully someone can help me. I get sometimes a BSOD after I quitted a game, mostly when it is high end (e.g. Bioshock infinite). I activated then Driver Verifier to search for the source of the problem, got a bluescreen after 1 minute with a reference to HIDCLASS.SYS.
Gathered dump files are attached to this post. Thanks alot.

Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall Daemon Tools at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :

The next generation of DVD discs will be made from paper, according to a report this weekend.
The so-called 'blu ray' discs are being developed by a consortium of electronics manufacturers including Sony, Philips, Hitachi and Samsung. The DVDs are much superior than the current standard, with data storage of 25Gb as opposed to the existing 4.7Gb limit.
Being composed of 51% paper, the discs will also offer the advantage of foolproof security. "Since a paper disc can be cut by scissors easily, it is simple to preserve data security when disposing of the disc," Hideaki Kawai, one of the development team, told BBC News Online.
The consortium has not yet decided when the new format will roll out commercially.

Illuminati-sent Iranian terrorists attempting 2 detonate a dirty Nuke at the Hollywood and Vine Train Station are foiled by The Messiah
Illuminati-sent Iranian terrorists attempting 2 detonate a dirty Nuke at the Hollywood and Vine Train Station are foiled by The Messiah Read more
My name is Ronald Farnham and the motto behind my writing is, "Enlightenment through entertainment."
As a former Intelligence Analyst for the Department of Defense, I have a rich and accurate understanding of the operating procedure and true interpersonal relationships of the Global Military industrial Complex.
In the Feature Film, Hollywood and Vine, I decided to put in the forefront, The Carnal Feminine. The Messiah of the 21st Century in this story will be filmed as a Female who has descended upon Hollywood to market her book into the Samuel French Bookstore on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, CA. Her book is titled, The Second Coming of the Messiah and she has written it as the sequel to the bible, which contains the directions to collapse the Global Military Industrial Complex, Eradicate the Monetary System, bring about the Rapture and usher mankind into a Thousand Years of Peace.
I will film the movie over a four week period in September 2012.
After dropping off her book at the Samuel French bookstore, the Messiah crosses paths with a beautiful and sexy, female Russian double agent at the Hollywood and Vine train station. The double agent has been sent by the Illuminati to have sex with an Iranian terrorist cell who also has orders from the Illuminati to detonate a dirty Nuclear bomb at the Hollywood and Vine train station in order to foment a global nuclear war.
This erotic, political, action and darkly comedic thriller takes you on a scenic tour through modern day Hollywood and brings you closer to understanding the true nature of the under workings of the dark forces behind war, terror and human slavery.
If you support the making of this 100-Minute Feature Film, then you are supporting human freedom and our endeavor to retake control of the planet from the Global Military Industrial Complex.

On a non-related note, years ago the "Whose turn is it to carry the gun today?" was a running joke among those of us who encountered members of a certain government bur...agency regularly.
It got added fuel when a bank robbery occurred right in front of two who had not worked out the daily gun carry, neither had their handguns on them, and both were forced to watch the show along with everybody else in the place as it progressed unhindered.
At my own department, when we'd do firearms training that involved drawing from the holster we normally carried the sidearm in, there was frequent pointed "joking" about requiring a couple of the detectives to draw from the briefcases they normally carried their guns in. In one case, even drawing from the car one guy carried his gun in, since he never had it with him outside of the car.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! At this year's National Automobile Dealers Association convention, the majority of Ford dealers attending the convention believe potential buyers for the 2015 Ford F-150 are ready for an aluminum-bodied truck, Automotive News reports. Since the announcement earlier this month announcing an all-aluminum body for Ford and the U.S. market's highest-volume vehicle, many have wondered how the traditionally conservative truck market would respond to such a new technology.Ford global vice president of marketing Jim Farley said he believes buyers' comfort in considering the non-traditional material in their pickups stems from the use of high-tech, lightweight materials in fishing rods, hunting rifles and other products that the F-150's target demographic is familiar with.Some dealers are playing both sides, and plan on stocking up on the outgoing model in more basic, affordable trims, while ordering higher-spec trims of the new 2015 body. The two models will be sold concurrently for several months, as the Kansas City plant transitions from the older style to the new aluminum body. Many dealers employed a similar strategy in 2003, when the outgoing and new body styles were also sold side-by-side in showrooms.Dealers say they plan on playing up the tough, military-spec aspect of the new F-150's body, and pointing out the commercial use of aluminum in delivery vehicles toward customers that have questions about the new material.Source: Automotive News 2015 Ford F-150 front Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Ford Dealers: Truck Buyers Ready for Aluminum F-150 /6 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 6 2 | 6 3 | 6 4 | 6 5 | 6 6 | 6

Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra Observes 80th Anniversary With Concert
By Mandolin Cafe
November 7, 2005 - 8:15 pm
Email article Printer friendly
The Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra will present its 80th anniversary concert on Saturday, November 12, at 3:00 PM at Woodbrook Baptist Church, 25 Stevenson Lane, Baltimore (Towson), Maryland. Admission is free, but donations will be gratefully accepted.
Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra
The BMO was founded in 1924 and gave what was billed as its first annual concert on November 12, 1925--exactly 80 years ago to the day. They will reprise a couple of pieces played by the original orchestra at that 1925 concert, including a mandolin solo by the BMO's director, David Evans, that the original orchestra's founder and first director, Conrad Gebelein, also played at that first concert.
The program will also include a march composed by Conrad Gebelein himself. There will be several lovely pieces by various Italian composers such as Carlo Munier, Giovanni Martini, and Giuseppe Milanesi, and a marvelous foxtrot called "Some Jazz Blues" by M. L. Lake. First mandolinist Don Tison will solo on trumpet for that piece. Don recently retired from the Baltimore Symphony here he had been their principal trumpeter for 31 years.
Don's mandolin cross-picking skills will be showcased in a medley of traditional tunes he arranged. The BMO's resident soprano, Beatrice Gilbert, will also demonstrate her considerable vocal talents on di Capua's "Serenade Of The Roses" and Lara's "Granada."
A reception will follow the concert. Please join the orchestra for light refreshments and the opportunity to meet and chat with the players.

General Motors Co is recalling nearly 4,000 Cadillac SRX crossovers from the 2010 model year due to potential power steering line damage that has caused at least one fire, the automaker said on Thursday.
Based on GM analysis, the issue is believed to exist in only two or three of the recalled vehicles. If the line is damaged, power steering fluid could leak, and if the fluid sprays onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could result. GM is aware of one such fire in an unattended SRX related to this condition.
There have been no related crashes or injuries. The vehicles being recalled were built in December 2009. The majority of the affected vehicles (3,460) are in the United States. There were 341 exported to China. Owners will be notified by mail and the inspection and any necessary repair will be performed free of charge.
Cadillac's U.S. sales were up 44 percent through the first nine months of 2010 compared with last year. SRX sales more than quadrupled in that period to 36,730 vehicles.

I've finally got around to sorting out PayPal buttons for this site. That means that you can now go to the Books page or click on any book cover and you'll see a Buy Now button for Australians. Then you can use your PayPal account or Credit Card and buy RealmShift and MageSign direct. They're $19.95 each and postage is free. Easy.
Australia only, I'm afraid. Internationally it's still cheaper to buy from Amazon or a similar online retailer or email me and I'll arrange a copy direct from the printer nearest you.

In a move that would have been wholeheartedly ridiculous if it hadn't worked out, #Bethesda Softworks and #Sony have finally come together on the subject of mods for #Fallout4 on #PS4, and if you are one of the many who has a copy of Fallout 4 and a PS4 I'd advise you bring them together, baby. Because mods are finally here!
#XboxOne owners can laugh heartily because they've been enjoying a modded wasteland since May, whilst PS4 players have had to make do with the age old "will they, won't they" as Sony tussled over whether they were really #4theplayers or not.
In a blog post from earlier in the year, Bethesda was pretty candid about which direction their finger of blame was pointed:
After months of discussion with Sony, we regret to say that while we have long been ready to offer mod support on PlayStation 4, Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work: where users can do anything they want for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition.
But now after months of waiting and moaning, and contemplating picking up an Xbox One S, mods are now available to be converted or simply dropped onto PS4. And here are a pick of the best ones to grab a hold of.
The Best 'Fallout 4' Mods On PS4
Developer Room
by Vanilla_Thunder
All of Fallout 4's objects exist in this one room. All of the weapons, all of the armor, everything. So instead of being sad that you can't use this workaround, download this mod instead to get your hands on the sickest everything you can find.
by Jacomel
This mod basically makes the game even tougher than it can already be. Like, for example, you level up slower (and receive no boost to health when leveled), realistic weapon weight and damage has been calculated, AI has been improved (meaning tougher battles) and super mutants and robot health have flown through the roof. Yeah, good luck with this one.
Realistic Guns and Bullets Overhaul
by SerpentBlade
Pretty self-explanatory this. In a view to making the weapons of the wasteland feel and handle a little more... realistically, download this mod which augments damage, accuracy, recoil, weight and AP cost. Word to the wise, this mod requires all DLC.
Unlocked Settlement Objects
by ANDREWCX
This mod is a settlement building tool that brings all of the game's assets to your disposal, so you can build as your heart sees fit. Requires all DLC, because there's more stuff that way!
by ANDREWCX
Whether you're like me and get a little bummed out by the lack of vibrant flora and fauna in the wasteland, here's a mod that seeks to breathe a bit of green into your surroundings.
Dog Rug
by Derajalen
Well this rather practical mod swaps Dogmeat's doghouse for a rug, just in case you wanted your canine pal to relax indoors away from the hostile weather and environment of the wasteland.
Cannibal in Concord
by T9x69
And this chilling mod brings the story of serial killer Albert Fish to Fallout 4. In Concord is a house where horrors will befall your very eyes, as you skulk around in search of the truth behind the Cannibal in Concord!
Those are just a few of my picks. If you have any other favorite mods to add to the list, please throw 'em in the comments below! Let's not go it alone, Sole Survivors.
