They have also been everything I have expected and more to succeed in all my college courses.

A A+F Academic Experience: the professor here are much more involved in student activities then any other school, they help you all the way to help one succeed in the course and to understand the knowledge they are providing. they have special office hours where they give one on one attention and helps a student figure out better ways of learning and understanding. the curriculum and everything helps you figure out the stuff effectively. we have the tutoring center free for all the students which is open 5 days a week, and the tutors are very helpful, which makes it easy for a student to learn and explore better, all the programs like EOPS, bridge program or the left lane projects helps succeed new students. also these programs gives priority registration to students & books to study for a semester for free.

My geology professor has an amazing personality and can easily keep the class engaged and interacting. Any issues we have with understanding a concept he his quick to adapt his lecture to find another way of explaining the topic in a way we can grasp better. All of the other geology majors that i have met are amazing and are more than willing to help with any assignments someone may be struggling on.
A A+F Academic Flexibility: There are many staff members that are more than willing to answer any questions you have in enrolling, transferring, the curriculum, etc. Any teacher I've voiced any concerns to have always done there best to advise me and help me reach whatever goal or overcome any obstacle I'm facing.
Online Courses: I have not taken any online courses throught Crafton Hills College.
A A+F Campus Resources: The computer lab was recently upgraded from the older outdated system. Newer computers were donated to the school which are available for students mon-fri. The internet access is fast and reliable. The only complaint I have about our computer lab is it is not available on the weekends.
B- A+F Academic Experience: I'm a physical therapist assistant major, and right now I'm just taking pre-reqs at Crafton Hills College. I'm not thrilled with some of the instructors based on their teaching and grading methods. Most of my experience has been what I thought it would be with the exception of one or two classes. Some of the requirements that the school I'm transferring to are a little strange to me. For example, I have to take public speaking instead of interpersonal communication, which in my opinion would be a better fit for physical therapy. The workload with this major is yet to had because I am just finishing up my pre-requisites.
B A+F Academic Experience: like most situations the teacher really depends on your experience. Some professors I learned from none to very little from, others tons!
C A+F Campus Resources: There are very few resources available to you at crafton. The Library is really nice but there are few places to study.
B A+F Academic Experience: It is hard to find a major at crafton specifically for what you are looking for.

Crafton Hills is a good school to begin your educational career, even on a nontraditional schedule. With tutors for English and math at all levels and courses from pre-college to second year, Crafton offers a wide range of education. There is always someone available to help you go where you want with your education. Some teachers and staff are harder to reach than others and the Financial Aid Office can be a real problem, but overall, students have what they need to succeed and grow. Part of this is a tedious process, though—like applying, getting an educational plan, and seeing about financial aid. This may be a bit mechanical or grueling, especially if there are any issues that are not well addressed. It is those moments that are generally hardest to deal with as a student. The good news is that the educational part is a lot better at Crafton. More often than not, the teachers are good, the help is available, and students just need to properly apply themselves. There will be a few professors in every student's life that will be less helpful or even a problem; however, with a little effort, everyone can do well enough to get a degree or transfer to a four-year university.
Degrees or transfers are two of the three primary goals of Crafton Hills. The third is specialized education in things like medical and emergency services fields. From the Basic Skills Initiative for students with substandard skills to classes like "Multivariable Calculus" for those looking for something more advanced, Crafton meets these goals, in addition to offering flexible schedules, from early-morning to late-evening classes. All it takes is effort on the part of the student to match what the school offers.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, fellow travelers! Here in Boston, we're lucky enough to get front-row access to the second-largest parade in the country: The South Boston's St. Patrick's Day Parade. Boston's also home to a slew of famous Irish pubs, like the Eire Pub (located just a hop, skip and a jump from Nine Zero, a Kimpton Hotel). In addition to touting pints of Guinness and hot lunches, Eire Pub is known for playing host to Presidents Clinton and Reagan. But Boston isn't the only city that embraces the Emerald Isle; here are 3 more pubs across the country that we can all say "Sláinte" in.
{From left}
Chicago: One of Chi-Town's original "singles bars," Butch McGuire's is said to have brought together over 5,000 couples. And if you're not looking for a wee bit of lovin', at least stop by for their signature Irish coffee.
Washington, D.C: Named after the famous James Joyce novel, The Dubliner is an authentic Celtic pub that serves up traditional drinks and dishes alongside nightly Irish jigs, ballads and more.
Los Angeles: Raise a glass at Molly Malone's! This dimly-lit brick-and-wood venue is a hot spot for live local and Irish music.

The Celtic Wheel ~ Lughnasadh
Lughnasadh (pronounced Loo-NAH-sa) is named for the Celtic God Lugh, King of the Tuatha de Danann, whose phallus of light pierces the Mother Earth bringing forth the fruits of that union.
This is the time of First Fruits. Historically, the first sheath of grain harvested was blessed and buried at a height on a hill or mountain. In some areas, and over time, this was baked on a fire of protective Rowan, protection being invoked for this year's harvest and for the next year's seeds by walking sunwise around the fire and/or home and fields (the core of the customs continued through the ages, even as they varied widely by location and time as well as prevailing beliefs in that they were syncretized into the rituals of Christian Ireland and Britain).
Around this time – from the Summer Solstice to Lughnasadh at the many Pattern festivals – the water source of each township is ritually blessed in gratitude. For an example, people gather at Brigid's Well in County Clare on August Eve (July 31st or for Christians the nearest Saturday night) and spend the night. In the morning rather than going to Church, the gathered will pray and perform ancient rituals, whether the elaborately orchestrated Christian rituals with set prayers while walking sunwise around the various spots at the water source, or the redreamed Pagan Celtic based rituals.
Just as Lughnasadh is thought to signify the marriage of the Sun Lugh to the Earth Mother, in times past it was a time when handfast marriages were arranged and commited ritually between a couple willing to commit to a year together. At the end of the year, if compatibile, the commitment could be made more permanent. If, however, it was thought by the couple that it was best to separate, there was no shame either for them or for any child coming of the union.
A time of feasting, of games, of fun.
A time to climb to higher ground.
A time to bless the water sources.
A time to make a commitment for the coming year.
This August Eve, harvest some fruits and vegetables. Create a delicious meal to share with others with joyful playing and dancing. Share the harvest with close friends and strangers – with those who have and those who are hungry.
As you harvest, so shall you harvest next year.
Harvest the seeds for your next year's reaping, whether seeds from plants to be sown in the spring, or the seeds of your relationships and your imaginings to be cared for and brought to fruition over time.
Remember the waters, take time to visit your water personal and communal water source and your wild waterways. Hold a water ritual and bless the waters, and all the waters. For the waters of all time and space are one. This is made clear in the oft quoted statement that we drink Cleopatra's bathwater. Feel the waters on your fingers and lips knowing that all beings past present and future have held these same waters within and without. Commit to ensuring that the waters of one are available for all, and remember the many areas with little or no waters, and those with too much waters.
Climb a mountain, or the highest area nearby. Climb the mountains of your mind and take in the higher perspective of where you have been in your existence and where you are headed such that, through adjustments in direction, right action will grow through the coming year to fruition.
Make a commitment for the coming year to another person, to a principle, to a task or practice. Give to this with your whole beingness, and commit that in a year you will reevaluate the wisdom of this commitment by it's fruits, making your choice whether to continue this commitment according to your best understanding of the higher good of all.
The wheel is turning,
Happy Lughnasadh All,

Our Most Popular Videos of All Time
From the real-life version of "Bones" to a very smart octopus, these fantastic videos capture the best of wildlife, history and travel
- By Smithsonian.com
- Smithsonian.com, March 12, 2012
Doug Owsley has one of the most intriguing jobs at the Smithsonian. The forensic anthropologist at the National Museum of Natural History assists state and federal law enforcement agencies in identifying skeletal remains and determining causes of death. He has worked on high-profile cases, from Jeffrey Dahmer's first strike to the victims of the 9/11 Pentagon plane crash. In this video, Owsley discusses some of the colonial cold cases featured in "Written in Bone: Forensic Files of the 17th- Century Chesapeake," an exhibition at the museum through January 6, 2013. Unlike TV shows like "Bones" or "CSI," this, he says, is the real deal.

Hydra has only one town, no real roads, no cars—not even any bikes. Zippy water taxis whisk you from a quaint little harbor to isolated beaches and tavernas.

EDMONTON - A single punch that ended the life of a 19-year-old Edmonton man outside a nightclub landed the assailant a three-year prison term Friday.
Brent William Todd, 23, was convicted last month of manslaughter in connection with the death of Colby Baker, who died of a brain injury after Todd sucker-punched him outside the Buffalo Underground Nightclub on Feb. 6, 2011.
Baker fell to the icy ground and died in hospital four days later. The medical examiner described Baker's injury as "unusual."
Court of Queen's Bench Justice Stephen Hillier said the incident was "not a mere accident, it was entirely avoidable" and called Baker's death "a tragic event that occurred as a result of one senseless act."
Baker's friends and family packed the courtroom for the sentencing. Many wept as victim impact statements were read into court. They described Baker as an out-going man who could easily put people at ease and make them smile.
"Colby was the one that could turn your frown to a smile as soon as he walked in the room. He always knew what to say to make things right," said his mother, Nicole Buhay.
She has not forgiven the man who killed her son.
"I cannot bring myself to forgive you for taking my son," she said. "I don't think you care about anyone but yourself. Because if you did, my son would be alive today and I wouldn't be standing here telling you how you took a piece of my heart that can never be replaced."
His father, Dave Buhay, told court he thinks of his son every day — it might be when he's driving and bursts into tears for no reason, or has to leave a restaurant because something unexpectedly makes him think of his son.
"We had a lot of plans for the future and now they can only be called dreams."
During the trial, court heard that a confrontation over a waiting taxi started outside the nightclub. Baker was "squared off" against Travis John Martin, when Todd jumped into the argument and struck him in the head. The judge said Baker wasn't braced for the blow and likely had not even seen his assailant. Todd immediately left in the taxi.
Martin was acquitted of manslaughter.
Todd had previously written a letter of apology to Baker's family. He cried several times through the proceedings.
The judge noted that Todd comes from a supportive family and that "he alone is accountable for what has happened."
Todd admitted to drinking and using cocaine the night of Baker's death and court heard he may need treatment for marijuana dependency, which he uses to deal with stress. A pre-sentence report found he is at low risk of reoffending.
The three-year sentence was a joint submission by the Crown and defence lawyers. The judge agreed the submission was within the range of appropriate sentences for crimes of a similar level of moral culpability.

ATLANTA, Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Martin Luther King III and Ambassador Andrew Young are among the Founding Group and Board of Directors of Bounce TV, the nation's first and only over-the-air broadcast television network designed for African Americans. The two legendary figures in American history helped bring Bounce TV to the airwaves two years ago tomorrow. Since then, the network's growth and expansion across all facets of the business in just its first 24 months on the air has been astonishing.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130215/MM61506LOGO )
Since its Sept. 26, 2011 debut, Bounce TV has become the fastest growing African American network in television and has rapidly expanded to be seen in:
This upfront season, Bounce TV more than tripled the number of advertisers from this time last year and has added nearly 30 new sponsors from such major categories as Automotive, Health & Beauty, Insurance Pharmaceutical, Motion Pictures, Fast Food/Casual Dining, Personal Care, Candy/Snacks and more.
The rapid growth accelerated its original programming plans and on Oct. 15, Bounce TV will premiere its first original scripted sitcom, My Crazy Roommate, created and produced by Bentley Kyle Evans ("Martin", "The Jamie Foxx Show") at 10:00 p.m. ET. My Crazy Roommate is a modern-day "Odd Couple" as Brooke (Laila Odom), a Brooklyn hipster and Chloe (Brittany Richards), a rich "valley girl" find themselves living together in one Los Angeles apartment. And at 10:30, Bounce TV debuts BRKDWN, an original new half-hour series featuring the hottest gossip, freshest beats & need-to-know-now pop culture news each week with an urban swagger. Hosted by YouTube sensations, Cynthia LuCiette and Jon Scarlett. Alchemy Networks, the premiere digital network for urban lifestyle and entertainment, and BMP Digital, the digital division of leading production company Bunim/Murray Productions, producers of such hit reality shows as "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and "Project Runway," have teamed to produce.
The network also recently began being rated by Nielsen Media – unprecedented for such a young network but fueled by its rapid distribution gains – and in its most recent performance highlights, Bounce TV in August:
Bounce TV targets African American adults with a programming mix of original series, theatrical motion pictures, live sports, documentaries, specials, game shows and inspirational faith-based programs. The network airs twenty four hours a day, seven days a week on the digital signals of local television stations.

Michael and I spent almost 8 hours in the Magic Kingdom today. In retrospect, we should have gone to Universal Studios and done the Harry Potter ride, but Disney is still just as magical as it was when I was a child. Perhaps a little more because I appreciate the details now. Disney World has a lot of the same rides as the Disney Land in Los Angeles so we might have been thrilled a little more by new rollercoasters in one of the other parks.
But, I still had an amazing day.You probably recognize a couple of these rides. We got to Disney World soon after it opened and were able to beat the crowds for the most part. I don't think we ever had to wait more than 20 minutes for a ride.
Favorite? Definitely Space Mountain. The Buzz Lightyear ride was also pretty darn entertaining. I didn't know the guns on the buggy were supposed to be used to shoot targets until the ride was almost half over so Michael definitely outscored me. We watched a parade and I totally geeked out at the princessess. I waved so hard at them. But if you just stare at them and tune out the music, they all look pretty insane and more than just a little creepy. So spastic and forced. I love that Disney's message is all about dreaming big and following your heart. And princesses are always pretty.Michael and I were so tired after a full day in the Magic Kingdom. I don't know how kids do it. We boarded a coach from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale in anticipation of embarking on our cruise tomorrow.
See you soon.

GRANITE CITY — Another school district is considering closing an elementary school to cope with ongoing loss of funds.
Niedringhaus Elementary was built in 1928 and housed 485 students last year, with a 67 percent low-income rate. Still, 75.8 percent of its students met or exceeded state standards on the ISAT test last year.
As school officials look at a district-wide restructuring plan, they are considering closing the school and reassigning its K-4 students to other schools.
Granite City has lost $4 million in revenue a year, not including the drop in property values, according to Superintendent Harry Briggs. Transportation funding has been cut by 60 percent, with the state is prorating its obligations in per-student funding to the tune of $2.3 million this year alone.
"If it continues to happen, we'll continue to lose money," Briggs said.
Granite City is now projecting a $7.5 million deficit at the end of the year, Briggs said. But the district is not considering a property tax increase.
"I think people are taxed already and aren't willing to be taxed more," Briggs said. "It's incumbent upon us to do our due diligence, look at how we structure our programs and cut costs as much as we can before we have to do that. It's the last resort as far as I'm concerned."
Also in the plan: consolidating grades 5 and 6 into one building and a junior high with grades 7 and 8 in another building.
The district plans to hold a parent informational meeting at 6 p.m. Jan. 30 in the Granite City High School performing arts center.
Parents are requested to send questions in advance or in writing at the start of the event to allow answers to be provided both at the meeting and on the district website. Questions should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com, and further details can be found on the district site at www.gcsd9.net.
Contact reporter Elizabeth Donald at firstname.lastname@example.com or 239-2501.

In August of 2008, South Carolina legislative leaders held a press conference to unveil a plan to "fix" the economy and "create jobs." The big reveal consisted of a bunch of charts – including my favorite, a pyramid with 30 plus government agencies listed in it – and the announcement of a new group called the Knowledge Sector Council. What was this council supposed to be?
U.S. Rep. Mulvaney's guest column, "Shutdown really a 'slowdown,'" in the Oct. 16 edition of The Lancaster News, explains very well what Republicans are trying to do, which is give the middle class the same relief that President Barack Obama is giving Congress, himself and government staffers, as well as his business buddies and insurance companies. This is a $2.9 trillion anti-seniors takeover scam that alone adds $1 trillion to the debt.
As drivers and officials of commercial vehicles, please follow federal guidelines for inspection of commercial vehicles. No vehicle should be operated if it is in an unsafe condition. Tires have an expiration date. Let's don't let what happened in North Carolina happen in South Carolina. As drivers or inspectors, let's stay on top of our commercial motor vehicles, stay safe on our highways and keep people of South Carolina safe.
Danny Williams Kershaw
What has our country come to? Federal shutdowns are happening too often. Our soldiers should always get their benefits. They put their lives at risk to protect our country. Their families should not be denied death benefits. This is outrageous. The elderly and disabled should not have to worry if we will get our checks or not. Congress and the president were elected to run this country. And that's what they should do. We – the citizens – expect you to do your job. If not, then you should not be in office.
I was saddened, disappointed and frustrated to learn that my congressional representative, Mick Mulvaney, voted against the budget continuation and debt limit. Actually, what he voted against was reopening the federal government that enables benefits to be continued to veterans, senior citizens and the poorest among us. He voted against continuing our progress out of the recent recession.
At a time when our state and national debts have reached mind-boggling levels, South Carolinians received some encouraging news recently: The state's unemployment agency recently repaid $75 million to the federal government ahead of schedule. The payment by the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) takes another big bite out of nearly $1 billion borrowed from the feds for unemployment checks the state disbursed during the Great Recession.
Recently, James Burback penned a letter, "Open letter about gun range near new IL school," in the Oct. 20 edition of The Lancaster News complaining about a new indoor firearms range that has been permitted in the Indian Land area. He apparently is particularly aggrieved that the range will be located on Harrisburg Road, not too far from the new Indian Land elementary school, and for the record, not too far from where he lives.
This Halloween, I think it would be fitting for State Education Superintendent Mick Zais to dress up as "Mayhem," the character from those amusingly tragic Allstate commercials. The changes Dr. Zais is trying to steamroll through our state's education standards in a thinly veiled attempt to pave his way to re-election would leave the quality of South Carolina public education badly bruised and battered.

By: Andrew Murphy
TICONDEROGA - An Essex County company that makes luxury mahogany motorboats is moving its manufacturing operations to a neighboring county after getting a $600,000 state grant.
Executives with the Hacker Boat Co. tell NewsChannel 13 they'll use the funding to move from Ticonderoga on Lake George's northern end to an expanded facility in Queensbury.
The company says the 38 workers currently employed will be offered a chance to transfer to the Queensbury plant that's expected to be built this year. Hacker Boat officials say the company will invest several million and create 50 new jobs at the Queensbury location.
The company also has offices, a showroom and marina at Silver Bay on Lake George.

Transnational feminism, as both an ethical ideal and an actual struggle to form political alliances, raises some of the most difficult and burning issues of what it means to challenge profound Eurocentric biases that have often stood in the way of such a coalition. Transnational alliances, particularly when including sexual politics, demand of us that we open ourselves to rethinking some of our most cherished feminist ideas, such as freedom and equality, without of course giving up on those ideals. Sometimes, when the issues are so big, they can best be examined by looking at a specific case, and in this case an alternative non-Western (South African) ethic: uBuntu. The ethic of uBuntu raises questions about some Anglo-American assumptions about freedom, equality, and obligation. It is particularly challenging since it does not justify itself through an appeal to its indigenous roots, but instead through a claim to universality.
Drucilla Cornell is professor of Political Science, Comparative Literature, and Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University, a professor extraordinaire at the University of Pretoria, and a visiting lecturer at Birkbeck College, University of London. Furthermore she is the director of the uBuntu project in South Africa.
Time: Tuesday, 15 May 2012, 19:30

It is part of the series The Subtle Racializations of Sexuality: Queer Theory, the Aftermath of Colonial History, and the Late-Modern State organized by Antke Engel, Institute for Queer Theory, in cooperation with the ICI Berlin and supported by Schwules Museum Berlin.

I'm turning 25 tomorrow. I know it's not a traditional milestone birthday, like 16 or 18 or 21, but I've found as Aug. 11 draws closer, I'm reflecting more and more on my first quarter-century.
Specifically, I've been thinking about the last 10 years and the incredible changes that have occurred. Life is a lot different than it was when I was 15. So if anyone's headed to 2002 anytime soon, please print out this blog post and give it to the 15-year-old me.
Tips for the next decade, from your future self
by Zack Harold1. Stop wearing denim shorts and buy some shirts with collars. You're going to have an office job someday, so you need to get used to them. Plus, girls like a collared shirt sometimes. Also, stop combing your bangs straight down.
2. Try a little bit harder in Mrs. Dotson's class.
3. Sorry, I never did start that rock band you were so excited about, and I don't have that record label either. But hey, we're not bald! Yet!
4. The computer engineering thing isn't going to work out, either. Don't worry, though. You won't make as much money but your eventual career is going to be so much cooler.
5. Cherish your summer breaks. You won't get those forever.
6. Invest all your allowance money in Apple Computers, then invent "Facebook." Do not hire Mark Zuckerberg to program it for you.
7. Tell President Bush, Osama bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan.
8. Stop eating so many cheeseburgers. It's going to be a lot more difficult to lose weight when you're 25.
9. Good news: you're going to meet a really awesome girl who is going to become your wife. Nope, not giving you her name. I don't want to spoil the surprise.
10. You're going to have a few rough patches as you finish high school and head into college, but it's all going to be okay. You're going to have a really cool life, filled with family and friends that love you. So stop worrying. And for goodness sakes, stop combing your bangs straight down.

Fire ravages Minooka machine shop
By Brian Stanley firstname.lastname@example.com January 3, 2013 9:50AM
A view of an industrial building fire off Bell Rd. in Minooka Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2013. | Todd Sherman~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 5, 2013 6:21AM
No one was injured when fire destroyed a machine shop Wednesday night in Minooka.
The blaze was discovered at 8:10 p.m. at 725 Bell Road.
The cause of the fire is under investigation but the structure and property inside are considered a total loss, Minooka Fire Chief Al Yancey said.
The first crew to arrive found heavy smoke and fire from the large garage behind a house on a farm.
Yancey said firefighters learned from the property owner that a large propane tank was in the building. Crews began pouring water onto the tank to prevent an explosion.
A short time later, the roof of the building collapsed. Yancey said the owner provided a backhoe to remove some of the debris in order to allow cooling of the propane tank to continue. The building also contained farm equipment, tools and antique cars.
Because of the rural location, fire crews had to shuttle water to the scene with tanker trucks.
Assisting were Minooka and Kendall County police, the Kendall County Highway Department and firefighters from Rockdale, Bristol Kendall, Morris and Elwood.

The richest and biggest software company in the world still won't pay researchers for disclosing vulnerabilities despite a growing number of its peers opting to do so.
Microsoft thinks bug bounties are superfluous: its Microsoft Security Response Centre (MSRC) team were constantly inundated with free vulnerability reports from researchers looking for fame, not fortune. Up to 80 per cent of Microsoft vulnerabilities were privately and freely reported.
Researchers had a variety of motivations behind reporting bugs and money was not necessarily chief among them, Microsoft security boss Mike Reavey said.
"I don't think that filing and rewarding point issues is a long-term strategy to protect customers."
Redmond's new BlueHat competition -- which pays handsomely for defensive security solutions -- was more effective, he said, and more appealing to those who consider security research an "intellectual pursuit".
Reavey said BlueHat participants had respect because they were builders and breakers.
"Rewarding $200,000 for finding techniques that blocks an entire class of exploits scales better, and better protects customers."
Companies including Google, Mozilla, Facebook and Samsung were some of an expanding list of companies prepared to shell out for privately-disclosed vulnerabilities.
PayPal was the latest to join that list this week after the company's chief security officer Michael Barrett changed his tune on paying for vulnerabilities.
"I originally had reservations about the idea of paying researchers for bug reports, but I am happy to admit that the data has shown me to be wrong – it's clearly an effective way to increase researchers' attention on internet-based services and therefore find more potential issues," Barrett said.
He said the experience from companies that pay for bugs was "very positive".
Researchers could earn a dollar from Microsoft vulnerabilities through HP's Zero Day Initiative, which pays for reported bugs and supplies them to affected vendors for free.
Microsoft's MSRC receives between 100,000 to 200,000 emails each year that range from critical vulnerability disclosures down to user requests to help deal with malware infections.
Of those, about 1000 were triaged and around 150 were considered vulnerabilities.
Only 16 have been released as more costly out-of-band security releases, and the remainder pushed through Microsoft's monthly patch Tuesday updates.
Details on PayPal's bug bounty is available online.

System #2: Aspirational Audio
Because this space is used mainly for two-channel music listening, the owners had no qualms about planting two 6-foot-tall speakers in the room. Manufactured by Wilson Audio, these top-of-the-line Alexandria speakers mirror the seriousness of this listening space—as does their $135,000 per pair retail price. Says Craig Abplanalp of Definitive Audio in Seattle and Bellevue, Wash.: "Although there's a flat-panel TV in the area, the owners spend the bulk of their time playing the stereo system," which also includes a Linn Unidisk 1.1 disc player, a Linn Kistro A/V preamp, Halcro DM68 mono amps, and an SME 30/2 turntable, all connected with high-end Transparent Cable.
Purpose-built for high-performance audio, this room above a detached garage was acoustically treated with fabric panels on the ceiling, which enhances the clarity of music and intelligibility of the dialogue in movies, and is so well-designed it appears as a standard painted ceiling.
Onkyo adds some muscle and a wireless sub to your TV audio.

text: This coin is featured in "Top 50 Most Popular Modern Coins." 2006 was an exciting year in modern coins! We had the introduction of the Buffalo Gold coin series, burnished Gold, Silver, and Platinum Eagles and we had a 20th Anniversary Set issued for Gold and Silver Eagles! In both the Gold and Silver three coin sets we had a first time coin in U.S. Mint history, a Reverse Proof! For the Gold set, there was a mintage limit of 10,000 sets. In the end, only 9,996 sets were sold and represents the total mintage for this reverse proof Gold Eagle. Reverse Proofs had never been made by the U.S. Mint before and while present, they are not a commonplace occurence among the various other mints of the world. The market for these coins has remained strong. Their low mintage, different finish, and the overall popularity of Gold Eagles have made this coin popular even with collectors that do not normally buy Gold Eagles or even modern coins in general.

According to Mayor Greg Kempton, all proposals regarding infrastructure must be handled by the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Kempton said that he would look into Hamel's proposal to see if it would be worth pursuing.
Members were also presented with the first reading of the Proposed Wage Ordinance for Village Employees.
Council also voted in favor of creating a part-time position within the Parks Department.

It sounds like you have a condition called angular cheilitis. It's also known as angular stomatitis or perlèche. In addition to skin cracking at the corners of your mouth, there can also be redness and scaling. The cause is frequent or persistent saliva touching the skin outside the mouth.
You're more likely to develop this condition if you:
Angular cheilitis can also be from an allergic skin reaction to lipstick or face cream, or flossing your teeth too vigorously. But that's less common. And it's rarely caused by a vitamin or iron deficiency.
To help prevent angular cheilitis from coming back, try to avoid excessive moisture accumulating in the corners of your mouth. If it does come back, you can apply an over-the-counter antifungal cream or ointment. Then follow with a topical hydrocortisone 1% ointment an hour later. Do this 2-3 t times per day. Some dermatologists prefer Vytone, a prescription cream that contains both hydrocortisone and an anti-infective agent.>/p>
Once the perlèche heals, then use a protective lip product like Chap Stick or perhaps one that is hypoallergenic. Make sure the corners of your mouth are dry before applying. Use it often. Consult your doctor if the problem persists.

The latest phase of a unique training project for European police commanders and intelligence officers – sponsored by UEFA and the European Union (EU) – has been launched in the Netherlands.
The five-day Pan European Football Police Training Project session in Ossendrecht brought together 50 police officers from 20 countries, all of whom are employed in dealing with the policing of major football events.
For the last four years, UEFA's stadium and security unit and their partners in the pan-European Think Tank on Policing Football have driven this scheme forward as part of a joint working programme. The latest event followed on from two successful pilot events organised by the UEFA stadium and security unit in March 2011, which targeted Polish and Ukrainian audiences in the run-up to UEFA EURO 2012
By the time the programme is completed in autumn 2012, a total of 250 police officers will have undergone training in a series of five professional development courses held across Europe.
The scheme seeks to develop students' awareness of the challenges of football event safety through a combination of multimedia presentations on key themes, practical observations at major football matches and exposure to a specially tailored interactive scenario-based learning environment. The project has been designed to incorporate UEFA's guiding principles of safety and security.
The interactive application employed for the programme was devised by recognised experts and tests the decision-making abilities of participants using incidents from UEFA tournaments. The application immerses students into scenarios under the most realistic and challenging circumstances possible.
In addition to the deployment of this technology, the course is enhanced by the involvement of a number of recognised European experts in international police cooperation, stadium management and football operations.
The delivery is supported by up-to-date academic theory in crowd management. By the end of the project, those taking part will have been exposed to the best practices available in safety and security in the football context, and these will be taken forward into their operations at future UEFA matches.

Rob Meehan, Here
Album Review
(Self-produced, CD)
Most Vermonters who've seen local musician Rob Meehan perform live probably know him as the longtime bass player for singer-songwriter Patrick Fitzsimmons. But on his first solo release, entitled Here, Meehan shows he can do more than just play a mean bass; he can also play guitar and harmonica, sing, and write interesting songs. Though one song on Here was co-written by central Vermont honky-tonker Mark Legrand, the other nine are Meehan originals. Their primary motif: lyrics about love and relationships backed by catchy rhythmic grooves.
Fitzsimmons produced the disc and also plays drums (as he once did in his rock band, From Good Homes). Meehan has also enlisted the ever-amazing Gordon Stone, who contributes his signature pedal steel as well as banjo on five songs, along with Vermont singer-songwriter Jay Ekis on bass and Dan Myers, Greg Izor, Lena Gilbert, Don Sternecker and Jeff Meehan on a variety of instruments and vocals. Veteran Wood's Tea Company vocalist Howard Wooden engineers and sings backup.
Like Fitzsimmons has on his own discs, Meehan has wisely mixed the music in a way that draws attention to his unique vocals — he has a high, reedy voice that eerily recalls Neil Young at times. This similarity is sometimes distracting, however. The beat, strumming style, harmonica work and those vocals make opening track "Peepers" — one of my personal faves — sound like an outtake from Harvest. Stone's lonely pedal steel adds to the Neil Young effect on "Better Offer," while "Get Out While You Can" even starts with that "Down By the River" chord progression. The title track is reminiscent of "That Old Laughing Lady." All that said, the songwriting and arrangements provide enough original texture to keep the music interesting and help it rise above comparisons.
Meehan celebrates Here at a CD release party featuring his entire backup band at the Middlesex Town Hall this Friday, September 21. The music begins at 7 p.m.

Dr. Toon: Dark (Side) of the Moon: The Lost Transformers
On assignment for Animation World Network
One of the best assignments I've had over my past thirteen years with Animation World Network is the one I just completed: Paramount Pictures and AWN teamed up to send your Dr. Toon on an all-expenses paid trip to the planet Cybertron to interview members of the Transformers, now the popular stars of three CGI animated films. Since the CGI sequences are of particular interest to our readers, I was to record new images of the shape-changing star-bots for use in Transformers 4, 5, and 6 and capture the nuances of their personalities.
What I found was completely unexpected. Among the fantastic structures of Cybertron exists a run-down rust belt of slums unknown to even the most ardent fans of the comic books, animated shows, and CGI films. Living there are the "lost" Transformers, disowned by Optimus Prime and totally unsuited for any type of combat against the Decepticons. Or even action figures of them. Or anything else for that matter.
"Hell, I don't know if Couch Potato can even change into anything else anymore. He's been in front of that TV for so long I can't remember him in any other configuration." The Transformer who calls himself Beer Can shook his tab-shaped head, pointing to the metallic Barcalounger whose pillows seemed to swell and rise. I heard a gentle snoring sound that competed with the Jerry Mainspringer show playing on the TV set.
"What does his wife have to say about that?" I asked.
"Aw, hell she trucked out of here years ago. Now Couch Potato's solo-noid. All he's got left nowadays is his son, Console."
"He ain't my son," the Barcalounger rumbled.
"Sorry, Tater, thought you was asleep." Beer Can turned to me with a whisper. "He thinks his wife configurated with Honky Tonk. That was one of the Transformers who hung around at the Steel-a-Dream bar. He could transform into any steel guitar, bass, or fiddle you could name. Had a great amplifier, too. Ladies loved him, but Tater's wife had nothin' to do with him. Try tellin' him that, though."
Beer Can gave a sad shake of his tab ring. "Not that Console's a big deal anyway. All he ever did was skip instruction so he could stay home and play video games. His favorite was Saint's Row. He'd transform into the vehicles and run wild, raisin' holy hell all over Cybertron."
"He's nothin' but a lazy tool." Couch Potato grumbled. "Hey, Beer Can, set me up, willya?"
"Sure, Tater."
Beer Can reconfigured himself into a tall, metallic bottle and hopped over to his friend. Tipping his head and neck, he poured a cold stream of beer into the mounds of metal resembling pillows.
"Man, that's good. I owe ya one, Can."
Beer Can reconfigured into his cylindrical shape. "Don't ever tell Tater this, but Console got his girlfriend Tube Top installed. They got one under construction that oughta be here by October. Wait till Tater finds out; that'll get him away from the flat screen. Come on, Dr, Toon. Let's meet some of the other Transformers that live around here."
We went out into the street, which was a cacophony of strange-looking muscle cars and garishly painted female Transformers leaning against streetlights manufactured out of their own parts. "Pump your piston, skin boy?" one of them hummed as I passed. Young, low-slung robots sporting weapons out of multiple gun ports rolled by. Several of them scanned me with menacing beams as we walked by. At the end of the street stood what seemed to be an enormous trailer.

Cameron Monaghan
Cameron's theatrical debut was in THE MUSIC MAN, as the character Winthrop Paroo opposite Victor Garber, Matthew Broderick, and Kristen Chenoweth. The musical feature film was produced by Neil Meron and Craig Zadan of Storyline Entertainment and distributed by Disney. The role was originally played by Ron Howard in the 1962 version of THE MUSIC MAN. Both Cameron and Ron Howard were 8 years old when they filmed their roles.
Cameron has appeared in a broad range of dramatic and comedic projects including over a dozen television guest star roles. His most recent guest lead appearances were in LAW & ORDER: SVU and NCIS. Cameron was submitted for an Emmy nomination by both productions. Mariska Hargitay was submitted for an Emmy nomination for the same episode of SVU for her scenes with Cameron.
While not shooting SHAMELESS, Cameron has completed two independent feature films including the lead role in the Joe Hahn directed MALL, opposite Vincent D'Onofrio, Gina Gershon, and Peter Stormare. He was also one of the leads in the Disney studio feature PROM, directed by Joe Nussbaum.
Cameron is about to begin filming the lead role in a Carter Smith (THE RUINS) directed feature entitled JAMIE MARKS IS DEAD, which is being produced by Alex Orlofsky (BLUE VALENTINE).

Toronto's record tourism numbers: increased luxury trips, more from India, China
Last year was a pretty good year for tourism around the world.
New York City eclipsed the 50 million mark for the first time ever, luring 50.5 million visitors. Los Angeles also set a record, with more than 27 million. Hawaii attracted 7.3 million visitors, shy of their 2006 record but a solid four percentage points higher than 2010.
So it's probably no surprise that The Big Smoke sold more than 9 million hotel rooms for the first time ever. Our actual tourism numbers - roughly 10 million - were about the same, rising 1.8 per cent from 9,655,297 in 2010 to an estimated 9,827,318 last year.
(Officials explained that they only have the first half of 2011 figures from StatsCan, so they have to estimate the numbers. Because the media likes to analyze things quickly, they release estimates in January versus waiting months and months for true year-end numbers. In fact, I was told they only got the final 2010 numbers a couple weeks ago).
The good thing is that more folks stayed overnight and pumped money into our tourism industry than before. Tourism Toronto statistics show 6.4 million of our 10 million visitors were Canadians, an increase of about 0.6 per cent from 2010. Almost 80 per cent of those are from Ontario. Quebec accounted for 10.2 per cent of Canadian visits, while Alberta was at 3.3 per cent. You'd think B.C. might equal Alberta but Alberta folks likely are here more for business.
Toronto saw a 2.7 per cent increase in overnight visitors from the U.S. last year, despite the Canadian dollar being roughly at par. That's pretty good, when you consider we used to sell the city and our 80 cent dollar as a big advantage.
But those days are long gone. Toronto now sells itself as an urban destination on its own, with remarkably restaurants, cutting-edge bars, increasingly stylish architecture (about time) and tons of sleek, new hotel rooms - including the about to open Trump tower as well as the Ritz Carlton and the soon-to-open Shangri-La.
"Toronto has a new lustre among sophisticated U.S. travellers, illustrated by its inclusion as one of Travel + Leisure magazine's 'Hottest Destinations in 2012," said David Whitaker, President and CEO of Tourism Toronto.
The 2.7 per cent hike in overnight U.S. visitors marks the first time that number has risen since 2006.
We used to get a lot of families coming over from Cleveland or Buffalo. We still do, but last year the number of air arrivals to Toronto from the U.S. grew 6.7 per cent. That means urban types are coming, and they tend to stay longer and spend more when they're here. Which is good for the local economy.
It looks to me like Toronto has dropped in the number of daytime visitors from the U.S. Stats show arrivals to Ontario by car are down about five per cent, but nobody keeps track of how many cars are headed for Toronto specifically. Giving up daytimers for overnight stays is a good trade off , although tourism folks obviously would like ALL numbers to increase.
The U.S. accounted for just more than 2 million visitors in 2011, officials said. Next on the list of international visitors was the U.K, with 191,300 visits. That's down 2.6 per cent.
But Chinese visitors jumped 34.5 per cent to 154,100. Another year like that and China could eclipse the UK as Toronto's second biggest foreign market. And wouldn't THAT be an interesting development.
"They probably will (surpass the UK)," Tourism Toronto spokesperson Andrew Weir told me today. "It's amazing."
One other tidbit I'll try to examine later shows that more folks are arriving from California than ever before. Weir said California has overtaken all states but New York in terms of air arrivals into Toronto. We still get a lot of day trips from Buffalo, and Weir said that's great. But he also said more folks are arriving by air from Manhattan, which probably means they have a bit more jingle in their pockets.
Fourth on the international visiting list (after the U.S., the UK and China) was India at 75,200, an increase of 13.2 per cent. After that came Germany (down slightly), France (up 1.3 per cent), Japan (down a touch), Italy (up 9.3 per cent), Brazil (up 9.2 per cent) and South Korea (down just a hair).
Overseas visitors now account for 14 per cent of all visits to Toronto, officials said.
Toronto sold 9,181,769 hotel room-nights last year, up from 8,928,958 in 2010. That's a 2.8 per cent increase.
Hotel room supply in town jumped by 1,118 last year, giving the city more than 37,000 rooms in total. The growth rate in Toronto in 2011 was third-highest in North America, being eclipsed only by New York (which is going gangbusters) and Nashville.
New luxury hotels are sprouting up all over Toronto, with representation from the likes of Thompson, Le Germain Maple Leaf Square and the aforementioned Trump, Ritz-Carlton and Shangri-La properties. The new Four Seasons in Yorkville also is being built, and those hotels will continue to attract tourists with money to spend on theatre tickets, sporting events, restaurants, bars, clothing shops and even hot dog stands and Dairy Queen's.
