Residents speak out against district rules
Vinyl siding, windows among concerns expressed at Strasburg joint meeting
By Sally Voth -- email@example.com
STRASBURG -- The Town Council and Architectural Review Board were told off Monday night by residents who say they don't like being told what to do.
Numerous speakers expressed their disdain for the town's historic district guidelines during a public forum with the two panels.
The council revised the historic district ordinance in June 2009, requiring Architectural Review Board approval to remodel or build new structures in the historic district. However, the guidelines themselves have not yet been adopted.
Vinyl siding and windows were a major concern.
"When you tell people that they can't put siding on their house, you're putting a tremendous financial burden on those people," Diane Smith said. "I don't know why this council thinks they have the right to do that to people. You're putting too much government on us. Let us run our homes the way we want to run them."
Gary Orndorff said his daughter bought her house in August, and he was told by the town he had to stop putting siding on it when he was partially done.
"I would like to know, is there a fine if I continue to go with my siding," he said. "Is it a one-time fine? What's the fine? I will pay the fine."
Town Manager Judson Rex said there isn't a fine. When several people in the audience said some residents had put up vinyl siding since the ordinance had been adopted, Rex said those in the audience should inform him of it.
One woman yelled, "I'm not a tattletale."
"I take suggestions -- I don't like being ordered," Staton Strother said. "The only history I like to study is the history that shows me the mistakes made that I don't want repeated. George Washington could've slept there. I don't care. I sleep there now. History is just what it is, the past.
"If you want to do this thing and put regulations on me, then buy the property and I will move on."
Sue Williams compared the town to a dictatorship.
"Mr. Rex, I don't think you've been here long enough to tell anybody that you're familiar with the historic property in this town, because you haven't," she said. "I have, and I'm not going to listen to you tell me what to do with my property."
Councilman Justin Ritenour said he watched his parents pour money into repainting their home.
"I really apologize [for] where we are at this point now," he said. "You may not have everybody with you, but you know you at least have some folks up here that are rooting for you guys."
Councilman Richard A. Orndorff Jr. said he planned to offer a motion at the next Town Council meeting to start the process of repealing the historic district ordinance until guidelines have been approved.
"The main thing is we're not ripping this community apart because everyone is so angry and upset by what's happened," he said.

There is absolutely nothing of such high historical interest anywhere in Strasburg that would cause me to go stand slack jawed in front of it, camera in hand, marveling at the wonder before me. To lure tourists, maybe somebody should build a very tall staircase tower high enough to see Russia from their house? Or a museum for fortune tellers?
If strictly implemented, will Strasburg's historical district need some form of crowd control... riot training.... a Lenco Bearcat armored personnel carrier?
Strasburg used to be the antique capital of Virginia.... Now its heading toward the communist capital of Virginia.... Great Job guys!!!!
It really cracks me up to have some of the people mentioned in the article complaining about local government telling them what to do with their homes, when they support Obamacare, which tells you what you must do to your home in order to sell it...go figure. They love the Fed telling them what to do, but not their local council! Too funny!
I am not spouting with this comment because I have a dog in this fight. I own my house on Washington St., pay my taxes and all the rest that the town requires. What the Council is asking with this program is just too much, too soon, with the staggering amount of requirements that most people cannot fulfill. In all, the program is a good guide for restoring historical buildings and I think that is what it should be, a guide. A guide to help a person who desires to restore his own property, not forcing everyone with laws and mandates. If a resident wants to use this program. More power to him. Do his house with these requirements and slap a historical sign on it. Suits me fine.
Strasburg is a great place to live. As its residents we should all take pride in the appearance of our homes, lawns and community common space. I think the Town Council is filled with good intentions but is often misguided when it comes to implementation. Putting the cart before the horse comes to mind here. Rather than focusing on the type of siding one can or cannot install, perhaps attention should be directed at enforcing existing or establishing regulation about things such as being responsible for mowing one's lawn, ridding one's property of junk to the proportion where a porch is no longer visible under the mountain of mess, parking on one's front lawn, adhering to regulation about when trash should be set at the curb for pick up, and appropriate signage for businesses. While these things all seem to fall in the category of "common sense and courtesy" for most people, they simply don't for others. By careful and thoughtful enforcement of such minimal regulation, we may find a simple way to really make a substantive change in the appearance of our town for everyone's benefit.
Kim, as much as you have to defend yourself on here against people trying to paint your views with a broad brush, your comments here kind of surprise me...
This issue and the new healthcare law are apples and oranges and I don't see where we have anything that tells us that those who are for enforcing strict codes on a historic district in Strasburg also are champions of Obama's new healthcare bill....
Irishman, I happen to know some of the people personally in the article complaining about having the town tell them what to do with their property. It's not apples and oranges. The Healthcare law (that I know some of those in the article support) tells individuals what to do with their homes in order to sell them...what is the difference between that and the local government simply trying to implement rules on what you do with the aesthetics of your home. Why is it OK for the US Government to tell you what to do with your home and not OK for the local government? I can't help that I find the inconsistency humourous. JMO.
You'll have to point me to the section of the Healthcare Law that "Tells people what to do to sell their house". There is a 3.8% tax on the sale of homes, but even then, a single person would have to be making over $200K a year and the first $250K in proceeds from the sale are not subject to the tax... The numbers are $250K with the first $500K being exempt for married couples. That's it. Really not so terrible.
That has Zilch to do with historical districts attempting to tell people what they can and cannot do with regard to the aesthetics of their homes...
Yes, apples and oranges.

put into the plasma as a result of exercise may have long-lasting effects, as suggested by the observation that plasma copper levels at rest tend to be higher in athletes than in untrained individuals (Haralambie, 1975; Lukaski et al., 1983; Olha et al., 1982).
Given the putative antioxidant properties of ceruloplasmin (Goldstein et al., 1979; Gutteridge, 1986), one explanation for the exercise-induced increase in the concentration of this plasma protein is as a response to tissue injury associated with oxidative damage or to the presence of an increased concentration of free radicals (Alessio et al., 1988; Davies et al., 1982; Jenkins, 1988; Kanter et al., 1986). An additional possibility is that the increased ceruloplasmin output from the liver, and hence increased levels in the plasma, is an adaptive response by the body to an increased requirement for extrahepatic copper. It is known that the higher values of maximal oxygen uptake in trained individuals are correlated to an increase in oxidative enzymes within the cell. One of the enzymes increased is the copper-containing protein, cytochrome oxidase (Terjung et al., 1973). It has been shown that ceruloplasmin copper can be incorporated into cytochrome oxidase, and cell receptor sites for ceruloplasmin have been identified (Stevens et al., 1984). Ceruloplasmin copper has also been demonstrated to be transferred to apo-copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (Percival and Harris, 1991). An increase in cellular copper, zinc superoxide dismutase activity could represent an adaptive response to exercise-induced intracellular oxidative stress (Jenkins, 1988; Lukaski et al., 1990).
In contrast to reports of increased plasma copper concentrations, Anderson et al. (1984) reported that plasma copper concentrations were similar in men prior to and after completing a 6-mile run; Lukaski et al. (1990) reported no influence of training on plasma copper concentrations in elite swimmers, and Singh et al. (1991) observed no change in plasma copper concentrations in men engaged in intense physical activity over a 5-day period. Resina et al. (1990) reported that plasma copper concentrations were lower in long-distance runners than in sedentary controls, and Dowdy and Burt (1980) reported that plasma copper concentrations and ceruloplasmin activity decreased in competitive swimmers over a 6-month period. Uhari et al. (1983) reported that plasma copper concentrations decreased in male and female subjects following exposure to hot temperatures in a sauna bath.
Reasons for the above differences in reported effects of exercise on plasma copper concentrations are various, including differences in copper status of the subjects; type, intensity, and duration of the exercise; physical condition of the individual; and extent of exercise-induced tissue trauma. Presumably, increases in plasma copper occur primarily when there is tissue damage that triggers an acute-phase response. However, note that in the study by Singh et al. (1991), despite evidence of significant tissue damage (see zinc section above), plasma copper concentrations were not elevated.

They sell drinks there, kind of pricey. We ate before attending with the plan to eat later. Printed off Souplantation coupons and went to the one off Bernardo exit - bit of a drive off the freeway and busy, but good food!In the Mood dining • Feb 17 2014 star this tip starred

Ever since the loss to BYU two weeks ago, and following up with last week's loss to Ole Miss, there is a very popular opinion out there among many that it may be time for Mack Brown to give up his long-time duties as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns.
From that has also come the notion that the school can maybe use a large chunk of that Texas money to lure away Alabama head coach, and four-time national champion, Nick Saban. There was even a report earlier this week that the school had discussions with Saban's agents back in January regarding a possible move to Austin.
Now, as far as Texas fans themselves, we're not really sure what to think overall. Some have come out in favor of of the ouster of Brown while others want to see if the coach can maybe pull things back together.
Well, it appears that this group of Texas fans today are undeniably in favor of the former:

Racer Jon Henes echoes Smith's feeling. "I think there are maybe 12 cars that can possibly win each race," says Henes. "The competition level continues to get better and the series just continues to grow."
The MSA is also attracting new racers like accomplished Super Late Model veteran Tim Ice. "I love these cars," says Ice. "I actually shook a car down and tested several years ago for car owner Dave May at Barberton (OH) Speedway. I knew then I wanted to try these. But, the timing was wrong, I was doing so much with the Late Model cars. Finally the opportunities arose and I was available."
Ice says that this type of racing is a whole other animal. "When I look left and can touch the engine and to my right is the right front wheel, I know this is serious. The power to weight ratio is definitely different and all seat of the pants driving, every lap from the word go."
As far as the MSA group goes, Ice had nothing but praise. "I've been around a lot of different race organizations and the MSA is very well run, exceptional really. They have accepted me as one of their drivers, and a great group of drivers they are."
Qualifying for an MSA race incorporates everyone taking a qualifying lap before the heat races. Then depending on the car count, the top 12 qualifiers are inverted into different heat races. An inversion is also used in the feature. A roll of a single die determines the number of racers inverted. For example, if there were three heat races completed and the die rolled either a 1, 2, or 3, MSA inverts 9 cars for the feature (the top 3 from each heat).
MSA also has a breakout rule in effect unless the 12 fastest times are within 1/2-second of each other. In addition, you cannot break out if you were in the top 6 times. Breaking out is defined as the leader of the race turning any two laps of a heat race or any three laps of a feature 1/2-second faster than they qualified.
According to the MSA official Jeff Lickfelt, "The reason MSA does qualifying this way is it is 100 percent fair to anyone who has never raced with us before, creating sort of an open invitation to anyone who wants to stop in for just 1 or 2 races, they will not be penalized for not attending other shows."
That kind of open mindedness has helped MSA flourish. "This is my fourth season with the MSA group," says Bobby Hayduk, MSA's traveling flagman. "It is the best group I work with. The drivers understand me and I understand them, we kind of have our own language. This series is very competitive from the front of the pack to the back. Not only am I an official on race day, but I am friends with these guys off the track, which is very important."
Hayduk handles flagging duties at all 13 of MSA's 2008 events which includes visits to six different tracks with first time stops at Spencer, New York and Angola, Indiana. The sanction also has a great working relationship with Oswego Speedway (the upstate New York 3/8-mile oval) where in 2007 the two groups hosted a three race schedule known as the MSA-Oswego Challenge. These races utilize the MSA and Oswego racers under one curtain for a separate points fund within the MSA points fund. In 2008 the MSA-Oswego Challenge picked up a series sponsor in Burke's Home Centers and was increased from three to six races; two races at Sandusky, three at Oswego, and one at Spencer (NY) Speedway. Also for 2008, MSA picked up a title sponsor in PPG Vibrance Collection paints. The response has been so overwhelming for PPG that at press time, discussions for 2009 MSA sponsorship is well under way.

Have you had this salad yet? It features local pastured chicken from Taj Farms, smoked over local oak. Now we've switched it up so the greens are Little Gem lettuce from Suzie's Farm, which is amazing. This salad is great as a daytime meal or a lighter dinner main.
Did I mention it's also delicious? Because it is.

that would mean she'll finally have a chance to try it out against the heavy guns when they TOO will have some mental issues to calm down not only herself.

Kid Screws Up Worlds Best Card Trick
Posted by SirBenry on Oct. 26, 2007
Posted by SirBenry on Oct. 26, 2007
why the hell is this paid?
 I just gotta wonder why you'd still post this when you balls it up so clearly?
 he just shook it so hard they turned red
 its easy! when he does the last shaking up, the turns the cards upside down. there is your flaw.
 the first time he did it (5 of clubs), I saw a card under the red card. That's why he was holding it weird.
double sided deck, thx for wasting my time
Dope a$$ trick: this trick iz funny and even better than the world's greatest card trick. but what makes it even better iz da fact that so many of u dumb f uk$ don't even realize the real trick. "boo...he failed the trick" U guys r morans
lmao: agreed.
indeed.....: indeed
Notice the real trick.: Okie so he failed at showing the card he was looking for. I think the point of the video though was that he turned a blue deck into a red deck. You're not noticing the sleight of hand that he did perform.
uh: wut the hell
ok...: all u guys are callin him stupid for posting this, or saying FAIL or w/e. but he got $400 for this, and u didnt...
funny: that was funny 'wat the hell'
umm: thats the point idiots
yeah: why did he even submit this video?
lol: FAIL
easy to do: he took two cards under the red card
Lm: Fao
hahaha: i love that
1:35 - 1:38: he flips the deck over. haha: "I think i did something wrong"
hahahahah: hahahhahahahahaha
He turned the deck: over.
Lol: Shake it up real good ok...its all...shoooken up, ok we fan them out here and ......whhhhhat the hell? ok.
He forgot: to say Hezbollah
STUPID ASS: yOU FUCKED IT UP FROM THE WORD GO FUCKTARD
Uh: Eh?
lame!: he turns the cards on the second shake...all the cards except the 5 & 2 of clubs have blue on 1 side and red on the other :O
shit i forgot...what was it teh 8 of diamonds????: o tru it was the joker my bad.....what a faggggg
lol: i defenitly saw a pause at the very end before he laid them out. notice the difference in light
you are: a huge tool
i forgot what card was it: was it a 5 of spades
1.37: he flips the cards, they are red on one side and blue on the other, except 5 and 2
oh, good: i was getting ready to right a comment saying "dumbasz!! you moron! thats an easy trick!" but then WHABAMM, proveed me wrong
Solution: When he shakes the deck the last time, the blue 'back' of the cards is against his palm. After shaking the deck, the blue 'back' of the cards is flipped, so during that shake he flips his trick deck to reveal the red back side.
Ahhhh Greatness!: Annnnnnd... what the hell?
What: card was I supposed to remember again??? I think it was a something of clubs? And notice how when he shakes the deck it flips in his hand. You can buy two sided decks online. nice trick tho
He obviously was trying to hide the 5 of clubs card under the red one, he was holding too carefully.

LEESVILLE, La. (AP) - An 88-year-old Leesville man died when he was hit by an SUV on La. Highway 121 in Vernon Parish, but his body wasn't discovered for a few hours.
State Police responded to the accident around 8 a.m. Tuesday. The pedestrian, identified as Eddard L. Morrison, was dead when he was found, but troopers say Morrison was hit around 5:30 a.m.
The driver of an SUV, 78-year-old Gloria P. Toney, also of Leesville, wasn't aware that she had hit a pedestrian and did not stop.
Investigators say Toney was southbound when she hit Morrison, who either was lying or sitting on the edge of the southbound lane.

Sergei Rachmaninov
Discover Rachmaninov: full biography, news, features and music to play and download.
Skip to Content
The World's Greatest Music
Rachmaninov's piano concerto-esque work was the 1934 equivalent of sampling a pop song. The Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is also one of the romantic period's greatest pieces.
Had he lived to hear it, the nineteenth-century Italian composer Niccolò Paganini would surely have been flattered to discover that Sergei Rachmaninov, of all people, had chosen his Caprice No. 24 for solo violin as the inspiration for an ingenious theme and variations for piano and orchestra.
Rachmaninov wasn't the first composer to have written something new in response to the famous caprice: Brahms had done the same thing in the 1860s with his Variations on a Theme of Paganini for solo piano. But these days, it's Rachmaninov's take on this sprightly melody that is far and away the favourite.
To appreciate the inventiveness of the work, it needs to be listened to from start to finish - so get comfortable. Across a twenty-minute period, Rachmaninov moulds the main theme into all sorts of musical styles and formations. And of all the variations, it's No.18 (the Andante cantabile) that sings and soars above any other.
Rachmaninov was himself an outstanding pianist, as is borne out by his very own recording of the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, which is still available today.

Heavy drinking can bring about a condition known as alcoholic hepatitis, which causes the liver to become inflamed. Appetite can be compromised, and someone with this disease will have pain in the abdominal area as the alcohol's effects destroy healthy liver cells. Vomiting and nausea are common symptoms as is jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and eyes that is precipitated by the liver's inability to work correctly. This hepatitis can eventually cause cirrhosis of the liver, a disease in which the organ becomes scarred beyond repair and eventually ceases to function. Liver failure results in death over time.
Long-Term Physical Effects of Alcohol
The long-term effects of alcohol on the human body are numerous. The brain, heart, lungs, liver, digestive system and skeletal system all are affected adversely by long-term alcohol consumption. Even the reproductive system can suffer from long-term alcohol use, which has the ability to lead to various conditions and diseases, many of which have the potential to be fatal.
Effects on the liver
Effects on the brain
Brain function is extremely impaired by long-term alcohol consumption. Continuous use of alcohol will have negative effects on the parts of the brain that are responsible for controlling behavior. Memory, coordination and the ability to concentrate will deteriorate as alcohol first depresses and then gradually kills brain cells. Mood swings that can bring about outbursts of emotion are frequently seen. Senses such as taste, sight, hearing and even smell will all be impaired eventually. Reaction time will also suffer and there will be a noticeable loss of pain perception.
Effects on the digestive system
Because alcohol can contribute significantly to the inflammation of the stomach lining--a condition known as gastritis--it can be a direct cause of gastrointestinal troubles. The intestinal tract and colon are also vulnerable to alcohol's effects on their linings, with the result being a difficulty to absorb and break down much needed nutrients. The pancreas is susceptible to alcohol damage, with inflammation of this vital organ possible. Hormone production in the pancreas can be impaired, and disease of the pancreas, such as pancreatitis, can develop.
Effects on the heart
Heavy drinking is bad for a person's heart, as high blood pressure can result. The heart muscle becomes thickened over time from the effects of alcohol and puts the organ's blood-pumping ability at risk. Alcohol increases the chances of heart failure and stroke, brings about conditions such as irregular heart rhythms and abnormal heart beats, and contributes to such things as a lowered white blood cell count. This makes a person's chances of fighting off infection much less than if alcohol were not present in the system. Anemia and abnormal clotting of the blood can also be traced to the long-term effects of alcohol in some people.
Other long-term effects
The lungs are not immune to the long-term effects of alcohol. A lowered resistance to lung infections can occur in heavy drinkers, who are also at risk of vomiting and aspirating on it because their gag reflex will be severely compromised. This can result in pneumonia and even death from choking. A number of types of cancers have been associated with the long-term effects of alcohol, including cancers of the mouth, lip, throat, esophagus, liver, colon and rectum. Alcohol short-circuits a person's ability to be able to absorb enough calcium, with thinner and weaker bones a result. This can lead to muscle pain and weakness, along with arthritis and joint deformity. In men, alcohol interferes with sperm and testosterone production, which can cause impotence. In women, the menstrual cycles can be affected, as the liver has a hard time metabolizing estrogen because of alcohol's effects.

INDIANAPOLIS – A late winter storm dumped more than 9 inches of snow in Indiana near Lake Michigan and left a glaze of snow and ice on other roads that made driving treacherous in places, authorities said.
Fourteen counties in northwestern and southern Indiana posted travel watches Sunday recommending only essential travel. They included Bartholomew County, where an Indiana State Police trooper was injured investigating a crash on Interstate 65 about 30 miles south of Indianapolis that was believed to be weather-related, Sgt. Noel Houze said.
Westbound lanes of Interstate 64 near Evansville were temporarily blocked Sunday morning after a semitrailer rolled over on slick pavement, Sgt. Todd Ringle said.
"Things are improving down here," Ringle said Sunday afternoon.
The National Weather Service said a winter weather warning for the southern half of Indiana remained in effect Sunday evening. It canceled a warning just north of Indianapolis and a weather advisory for most of northern Indiana.
The storm left behind 9.3 inches of snow at Indiana Dunes State Park along Lake Michigan in Porter County, the weather service said, and Fort Wayne received a record snowfall for the date of 4 inches.
Generally, however, the storm produced less snow and ice in Indiana than had been forecast, prompting hundreds of churches across the state to cancel Sunday services. About 4 inches of snow also fell in Peru and Huntington, about 3.5 inches in Lafayette and 2 inches in Indianapolis' northern suburbs. Indianapolis received 1.7 inches before light snow resumed Sunday afternoon.
Despite sleet and freezing rain in southern Indiana, the only power outage Sunday was reported by Vectren east of Evansville and affecting 67 customers. Duke Energy earlier reported several similar minor outages in southern Indiana.

As the feeding frenzy on MPs' expenses continues unabated, the increasingly hostile media coverage is unwittingly acting as a recruiting sergeant for the BNP. Private polling carried out by the parties is showing that this issue, above all else, is increasing the "anti-politician" vote and driving people into the arms of the BNP.
Nor are the attempts of the likes of The Sunday Telegraph helping. Only yesterday, it made an attempt to assess the value for money offered by individual MPs.
It came up with Conservative MP Philip Hollobone as leader of the pack, but then confounded its own story in another piece, which describes him as "Westminster's cheapest MP" – which is not the same thing.
The attempt was pretty fatuous, because the essential role of parliament is that of an institution, the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. And it is as an institution where, as we have averred, it exhibits its greatest failures.
However, even taking the exercise at face value, the methodology was, to say the very least, questionable. The paper started with the voting record, converting into a percentage the proportion of votes cast against the votes called. Using this as a base figure, it then adds the number of debates in which the MP spoke, divided by three. To that figure it than adds the number of written questions, this time divided by thirty.
The ranking is then worked out by taking each MP's 07/08 expenses and dividing it by the composite figure. The lower the result, the higher is the ranking, giving Holloborne the top slot of £376 against the worst scorer, George Galloway, at £21,201.
What, of course, this does not take into account is quality of input. Rushing to the lobby when the bell division bell goes, to cast a vote without even knowing what the subject is, is worth thirty times more than a carefully crafted and well-researched parliamentary question – and three times more that an hour-long speech. Six votes in one evening (not at all uncommon), with the MP spending his time in the bar in between, is worth 180 questions or 18 speeches.
Moreover, the scoring is grossly unfair to ministers and shadow ministers, who could not be expected to attend debates outside their specialist subjects, or attend anything other than the most important votes. And ministers – for obvious reasons – do not table many parliamentary questions. Approve or not of what they do, no one can dispute that most work very hard indeed.
Further, the scoring ignores the vital role of the select committees. Yet, in terms of effectiveness, this is perhaps – when it works – one of the most important uses of an MP's time.
On this basis, the Telegraph is again not helpful. Nor is it necessarily a good thing that MPs do not hire staff. This is how Holloborne ranks so highly, but the whole point is that a good MP needs, at the very least, a halfway decent researcher, otherwise you come up with this sort of drivel.
The bigger problem, though, it is displays – once again – an almost complete lack of understanding of how parliament works. This is further demonstrated by Iain Martin in an article on Cameron, where he tells us that, "Being leader of the Opposition is a lousy job. The hours are dreadful, the possibilities for humiliation limitless and the power virtually non-existent." (As an aside, if I were Cameron, I would be very worried by the comments on this piece.)
This could not be more wrong. Within the parliamentary framework – and especially against a weak government – an opposition leader is extremely powerful indeed. He (or she) can run a government ragged, force change and embarrass a prime minister into changing direction.
The urgency of demonstrating that parliament is of value and of sorting out the expenses mess is now extreme. MPs cannot afford to wait until after the next election. Because of the distortions in the voting system, this issue alone could cost the Conservatives the election.
Furthermore, what is on offer is not enough. There is no mileage in swapping expenses for an increase in salaries. The country would not tolerate this. Nor is the abolition of the second home allowance, in return for a daily allowance. This is the system used for the EU parliament and, as we are aware, this is just as open to abuse. What Cameron is currently proposing, therefore, is not going to meet expectations.
We ourselves offered a very simple answer. Stop paying MPs salaries and expenses – and pensions. Instead, pay each an annual "constituency fee" and let them decide how to spend it, whether on themselves, staff, offices or whatever. Require them to publish annual, audited accounts on their websites and a summary on their electoral addresses if they stand for re-election. Let the voters then decide whether their MPs are value for money.
This will "park" the issue, and neutralise it electorally. It also breaks with the idea of collective taint. Each of the MPs will have their own arrangements with their voters and if one abuses the system, the others are not drawn into the scandal.
The other side of the coin is for MPs to come up with real proposals to make parliament stronger, so it does offer better value for money. Collectively agreeing to a referendum on the EU – over the head of the government – would be a good start. We could think of many other ways.
Either way though, extraordinary measures are needed to recover the situation. There is a great deal at stake and I wonder whether MPs are fully aware of this. If not, they are going to get an extremely unpleasant surprise at the euros, and an even bigger one at the general election. If MPs flunk this test, many of them may not get another chance.

A recruiting sergeant
As the feeding frenzy on MPs' expenses continues unabated, the increasingly hostile media coverage is unwittingly acting as a recruiting sergeant for the BNP. Private polling carried out by the parties is showing that this issue, above all else, is increasing the "anti-politician" vote and driving people into the arms of the BNP.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- You won't be seeing the commercials for attorneys Winters, Yonker and Kannady anytime soon here in Louisville.
"The Courier Journal" reports the law firm's ads have been pulled in Kentucky and in Florida.
William Winters and Marc Yonker who are licensed attorneys in Florida have been suspended for misconduct by the Florida Supreme Court.
The court says they were too aggressive when they stole clients from their former boss and then started their own law firm.
"The Courier Jounal" reports the firm is banned from seeking new business or advertising in Florida during their suspensions.
To be safe, they've also pulled their ads here in Louisville.

Delhi Police's new FB, Twitter pages for northeast people
Faced with criticism over its perceived lack of sensitivity and outreach to the northeast community in the capital, Delhi Police is set to launch a Facebook page and a Twitter account for people from the northeast where they can post complaints and suggestions.
In another move, a 24-hour Delhi Police helpline will be publicised widely by their social media websites.
The decision was taken by Delhi Police in the wake of an alleged "racist" attack on Arunachal Pradesh student Nido Tania that led to his death and a furore among people from the northeast region.
Delhi Police already has a committee, formed in 2012 and headed by a joint commissioner of police, to tackle problems faced by students and other people from the northeastern states living in Delhi. It is currently being headed by Joint Commissioner Robin Hibu, who hails from the region.
"A Facebook and Twitter account of Delhi Police will be launched soon where students from the northeastern region can put forth their grievances and suggestions," a police officer told IANS.
He said the accounts will be monitored regularly by a police team with good knowledge of social media and computer handling. "Delhi Police will take note of the posts and act upon them."
"We will also post the action taken by Delhi Police on the complaints and suggestions," he added.
Delhi Police will also publicise its 24-hour helpline number - 1091 - on the website of the ministry of development of north east region (DoNER) as well as its Facebook and Twitter pages.
It will also encourage northeast students to pen down their thoughts and experiences on wattpad - an online community themed around writing and story-telling on which users can post articles, stories, and poems about anything.
The DoNER ministry has already launched a support centre for students from the northeast following the death of Tania.
The decision was arrived at after a joint meeting between Delhi Police and officials of DoNER Feb 5, said another police official.
The support centre has been opened at the NorthEast Council Guest House in Chanakyapuri in central Delhi.
Professional counsellors will be hired on contractual basis to deal with problems and issues raised by northeast students at the support centre.
In another step at outreach, Delhi Police is planning to conduct half-day seminars once a month that will see professional counsellors and northeast people discuss issues and problems faced by them. In this move, the DoNER ministry would also chip in.
Delhi Police holds meetings once in two months with students and people from the northeast in the seven police districts of the capital. The minutes of the meetings are forwarded to Hibu and the Delhi Police commissioner, said an official.

In our Game 6 preview on Monday, we created a checklist for the 'blueprint' teams must follow in attempting a comeback from a 3-0 playoff series deficit:
1) Take one game at a time (Kings: check);
2) Don't focus on the fact that you're facing a 3-0 deficit (Kings: check);
3) Channel your pride and frustration in having ended up in such a situation (Kings: check):
4) Don't lose the series on home ice/put pressure on the opposing team to win on theirs (Kings: check,
so far);
5) Don't panic and make numerous line-up changes (Kings: check);
6) Get back to even and let the chips fall where they may (Kings:
TBD check).
After winning Game 6 at home, the Kings have now checked off every item on the list. With Game 7 being a 'winner take all' affair, the Kings have a completely clean slate–and apparently, all of the momentum.
The biggest key to the Kings' turnaround has been the return to their defensive roots–after allowing a total of 17 goals in Games 1-3, the Kings allowed only 4 goals in Games 4-6. Although the Sharks started the series with a 13-5 goal differential after Games 1 and 2, both teams have now scored a total of 21 goals in the series. Drew Doughty and Jonathan Quick, in particular, have been stellar. Doughty has six points during the series, a +3 plus/minus rating, and has averaged more than 26 minutes on ice per game–by far, the most of any Kings player. He's also been matched up against the Sharks' top players–who decimated the Kings in Games 1 and 2.
In Game 6, Sharks' Head Coach Todd McLellan gambled and benched veteran goalie Antti Niemi for youngster Alex Stalock. The move appeared to be paying off, until the Kings exploded for three goals in the 3rd period. McLellan apparently decided that Game 7 would present too much pressure for the youngster and has decided to go back to Niemi for Wednesday night's game. Meanwhile, the Sharks' top defenseman, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, remains sidelined with an upper-body injury, and Kings veteran defenseman Willie Mitchell is out after suffering a lower-body injury in Game 6. Mitchell appeared to get his right skate caught in the ice and twisted his right leg awkwardly in falling, but of course, the Kings have not confirmed the exact nature or extent of the injury. Kings Head Coach Darryl Sutter did hint, however, that Mitchell might be able to return later in the playoffs if the Kings advance.
After falling behind 3-0 in this series, most people left the Kings for dead. The Kings followed our checklist, item by item, never panicking, and never getting away from their strengths. Now that they have given themselves a clean slate, all they have to do is win ONE MORE GAME, and they will have completed an epic comeback, made history, and perhaps forever conquered their rivals to the north.

Aralon: Forge and Flame is an upcoming iOS RPG with mouth-watering graphics
However, it seems that Aralon: Forge and Flame will feature full day and night cycles. Several explorable areas will be available, too, each with its own environment and graphical style.
Aralon: Sword and Shadow, which was released back in 2010, allowed gamers to immerse in a dynamic, beautiful 3D world. Players could choose among 4 character classes and 3 playable races – humans, elves, and trolls.
Without further ado, check out the first official screenshots of Aralon: Forge and Flame in the gallery below!

I'd say that looks like about late xbox. Maybe early xbox 360.
5. downphoenix (Posts: 2357; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
exactly what I was thinking, the graphics appeared to be on par with Fable from 2004 off the Xbox... I guess we can be fair and say it's on par with the higher res PC version from 2005, but that's where the line is drawn.

Yes i agree with you,software is not yet on xbox 360/ps 3 level but mobile soc will definetly be on that level this year.

Why are game developers so focus on graphics (I am not saying it isn't important) and little thought to the plot or story? "This game's graphics is awesome", "Oh that game's graphic is 'mouthwatering'" (shaking my big head). I rather play a game with lesser graphics but with an intense and captivating plot than behold some glorious graphics but dumb plot.
My own opinion.

I have 2 words and a number for you.....Final Fantasy 6. A story as deep as the ocean, and ground breaking soundtrack (with polyphonics no less), with some of the most likable characters in rpg history.
6. downphoenix (Posts: 2357; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
well in the case of mobile games, they are meant to be played on the go. It is harder to sell a new player on an intricate plot than it is on device pushing graphics. The graphics are an immediate benefit that can be enjoyed, whereas a strong plot takes a while to get the benefit from. The wait is worth it of course, but when ti comes to those kinds of games, most of us rather have them on our TVs or Monitors than on the tiny phone or tablet screens.

Faithful attending the beatification of Pope John Paul in Rome will be able to pray before his coffin, which will be exhumed for the event, the Vatican said on Friday.
The Vatican also warned the faithful around the world not to fall prey to fraudsters, particularly on the Internet, who are selling tickets to the beatification ceremony on May 1.
"For the beatification Mass of Pope John Paul II, as made clear from the outset, no tickets are required," the Vatican said.
It said people should also steer clear of tour operators promising to procure tickets as part of their packages.

Boston's New Repertory Theater is currently showing its production of the groundbreaking rock opera Rent, marking the fifteenth anniversary of the original Broadway production's debut. "Now is the time," said Bridget O'Leary, Artistic Associate of the theater. She went on to explain, "Our season this year is about legacy, and about what we leave behind…there's such a strong theme of urgency, and a message of living for today." The musical, written and composed by Jonathan Larsen, follows the lives of seven friends in New York's Lower East Side as they deal with relationships, drug use, the AIDS epidemic, and the struggle to pay the rent as they follow artistic careers. It's a message that's relevant even fifteen years later, particularly with the recent developments in the fight for gay rights, as well as in the ongoing burden of the recession.
The cast shook off their morning grogginess to start out their studio performance strong with the song "What You Own," performed by John Ambrosino as Mark and Robert St. Laurence as Roger. Even in the studio, without the trappings of a full stage production, both performers put such power behind the music that it was easy to feel the energy of a live show. Lyrics like "You're living in America/leave your conscience at the tone/and when you're living in America/at the end of the millennium/you're what you own," underscored the musical's ongoing resonance to our present-day culture.
The cast brought tenderness, but no less power, to the love song "I'll Cover You," performed by Maurice Parent as Tom Collins and recent Emerson alum Nick Sulfaro as Angel. Sulfaro discussed his time at Emerson, emphasizing the individuality he felt in his musical theater education: "Emerson really prepares you to be your own performer, instead of the performer that someone else wants you to be."
Finally, Aimee Doherty as Maureen and Robin Long as Joanne closed out the in-studio performance with a dynamic rendition of "Take Me Or Leave Me." Both actresses brought their characters fully into the studio, with Doherty dancing in place and mugging for the rest of the cast. Long had to step back from the microphone at many points to adjust for the power of her voice. The number promised to be a live showstopper.
Rent was directed by Benjamin Evett and choreographed by Kelli Edwards. The New Repertory Theater production will be running through September 25th at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in Watertown, MA.
Congratulations to WERS News on winning 11 AP awards this year

Dodgeball fight is on in Windham
Upset about the discontinuation of dodgeball and other such games in their gym classes, Matthew and Michael Senibaldi, twin sons of School Board member Dennis Senibaldi, have taken matters into their own hands.
The 12-year-old boys, whose father was the sole board member to object to the ban of all "human contact" games earlier this month, posted an online petition this week in hopes of convincing the board to let the games go on.
"Nerf ball games are fun interactive games that teaches kids the skills of teamwork, strategy and agility," the online petition reads. "Lots of kids have loved Nerf ball games for a long time and we feel it is unfair to eliminate these games based on a few complaints ... we the undersigned kids respectfully are asking the School Board to reconsider their vote."
On Wednesday, Matthew and Michael passed a survey around to their peers during their lunch period at Windham Middle School, gaining several dozen signatures before they said school staff intercepted their petition. The online petition may be viewed online at http://chn.ge/XhFKM4.
As of Friday at 6:30 p.m, the online petition had garnered 201 signatures.
The elder Senibaldi said he supported his sons' decision to petition online.
The four other School Board members didn't immediately respond to an inquiry from the Union Leader on Friday afternoon. Michael Senibaldi said he and his brother Matthew have been enjoying games of dodgeball since the second grade and they both were saddened to hear it had been banned.
"It's just a lot of fun and it's not really about human targeting at all, That's not the point of the game," Michael said. "It's just something we have fun doing with our friends."
After a stilted attempt to collect signatures at school, the boys decided that posting an online petition was probably the best option.
"This way anyone can sign and no one can take that away from us," Michael said.
Both boys said their goal is to get as many signatures as they can, which they'll forward to members of the School Board. On March 21, the school board voted 4:1 in favor of eliminating all "human target" games from the district's curriculum, with proponents of the ban stressing that such games pose safety concerns and can encourage instances of bullying. Senibaldi voiced his objections to the ban, stating that "there are other ways to address bullying."
But Windham teacher Rory O'Connor, spokesman for the district committee tasked with reviewing district physical education policies noted that standards dictated by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education suggested a ban was an appropriate move after some parents reported instances of their children being targeted at dodgeball games.

|An Afghan man reads outside his market shop while waiting for customers. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
In the early 2000's, I set up a small retail business selling delicatessen quality foods which I had imported from Italy and Greece, as well as from local producers. I set up a website (at great expense and which would now cost me a fraction of what it did then) and started to set up a stall in local food markets.
My online customers were quite different from the customers at the markets. Online customers were looking for gifts including hampers. They were mainly men. My offline customers were mainly well-to-do females who were buying for their families or gifts for friends. I was soon able to spot customers at the markets just by the way they dressed, by their age and their gender.
Getting out of my office and meeting people face to face is still the best way to know my customers or readers.
For instance, last week I was in Sweden for three days visiting a manufacturer's factory along with 12 of installers they were aiming to have join their partner scheme. The installers were were from all over the Midlands, North and North West of the UK. None of them had even heard of the magazine I edit, which is aimed at them.
At first, I found their lack of awareness unsettling. But, all of them said they would like to be added to the mailing list and email newsletter list. twelve new readers is good. But, thanks to social media, the 12 new installers are likely to share my articles with their contacts.
More importantly, last week I listened to my readers and realised how diverse they are with their solutions using the manufacturer's equipment which sparked a dozen ideas for new articles. It is too easy to get stuck behind my desk. But, getting out and meeting my readers is priceless.

Hi fellow artists.
I wrote a blog this morning for the "Art Marketing Ideas" group. It's about what artists can do to get into high visiblity galleries - ya know, the kind that we see advertise in art magazines?
I've worked with some of these galleries and have many personal friends in the art world who are currently in these top galleries and selling well. They all followed a similar path to get there - and I wrote more about it in the blog;
Please feel free to comment or ask further questions about this topic - at the end of the blog. I'm interested to hear what you all think.
Hi Lori,
That sounds really interesting. I was wondering if you would consider posting your blog, or even summarizing here in this thread for those of us who aren't members of the Group at this point. This is really valuable information, and I'd love to see your insights.
Karyn Meyer-Berthel
Thanks for suggesting that I post it here. I hope it won't be too long, but you can easily join the other group since I'll be posting my blogs there - hopefully - on a consistent basis.
Here's the Blog:
I'm beginning a new series of blogs that investigate how artists get
into the most visible galleries... by that I mean nationally recognized
galleries. Many of my personal friends are there, and they all have
seemed to follow a similar route.
Some of you artists out there will make a very decent living without
being known on a national level, but others will not be happy until
they attain national recognition. The road to these "bright lights"
and articles in major collector's magazines is very steep, has rough
pavement, and requires that your work compete with the best in the
country. According to gallery dealers, a professional portfolio will do
nothing for you if your work will not appeal to their collectors.
On the other hand, if you've got a substantial body of work, that is
consistent in style and perhaps in subject matter, you may be ready to
go to the next level of gallery. I advise working in a series so that
you can focus on and get very good at one thing. When you've got 10 to
20 knock your socks off paintings in a recognizable style, you'll be
ready to submit to galleries. Your work must be as good as what that
particular gallery already sells.
If you want to test your work, to see if it rates - enter national
competitions. Although the judgments are subjective, if you do get an
award or are even listed as an honorable mention, this will carry
weight with gallery owners. As Steve Doherty said in another blog on
this forum, if the competition lets you enter 3 pieces, go ahead and
enter 3. This is so that the judges can see whether the quality and
style of your work is consistent.
When you consider the cost of advertising, entering competitions is
a relatively inexpensive way to get your work seen by a lot of people.
Getting your work published in magazines also lends credibility to your
image as a top notch artist.
BUT! Before you enter shows, make sure your work is really good.
Learn all you can about how to make your art full of quality by
getting great instruction. Study and then practice drawing or painting
every day. We artists just don't spend enough time practicing, and
then we wonder why we feel so insecure when we step up the plate.
Great performances come after much focused practice.
So don't hesitate any longer. Get on the train to better artwork...
get good... get a body of work... enter shows... get recognition.
If you enter a lot of shows and never get noticed, it's time to take
a serious look at your work and perhaps dedicate a renewed interest in
learning to be a better artist. Never give up. It takes work and
focus, but you can most likely get there with the right training and
Wow, thank you Lori. I appreciate this input, and I'm sure that many others will, too. Nicely put together and solid advice.
And thank you for posting here, too.
Karyn -- I read your article and loved it -- would you help me please -- I would like to start a blog on this site, but I am not sure how to do it -- thanks for your help.

Where IS the art marketing group???
My Pet and Childrens Portrait Website
My FB Page
Hi Diane,
Individuals don't have blogs on our site, but I do encourage people to use the forums to post content that they would like to share with the membership. If you have art marketing, business or even lessons you would like to post, please do. We just don't allow promotional content.
There is no longer a group for art marketing or business on the site. Sorry about that.
I'll be sure and touch on art marketing topics in "The Artist Life" blog on this forum. The way art is sold is rapidly changing because of the Internet and artist web sites. Commercial galleries are still a great way to go for some artists,but for many of us "less famous" artists, we can do more today to sell on our own than ever before.
Received eMail regarding a book on marketing and passing along FYI: "Starving" to Successful: The Artists Guide to Getting Into Galleries and Selling More Art by J. Jason Horejs. You can go to xanadugallery.com for more information.
Yes, Valerie... I've heard tons of good things about "Starving to Successful". Thanks for posting this info.
Yeah, that seems to be perfect idea, actually some artist even have their own online and print portfolio. Other even invest on making adhesive digital color copies for their artwork galleries shot and promote it to various persons, and since it is adhesive type, this mostly usable in many purposes and at the same time promoting the artwork being printed.

An artist should benefit from the resources offered by the Internet, scanning their artwork professionally and printing these in more innovative formats currently selling their designs to companies, as well as limit the prints signed and numbered (limited edition). Once the impressions the ones in the market, will sell the original with much higher prices as this is revalued on the network.
Every artist is or is not a professional art can sell their work in one way or another, the Internet is a shuttle to present, sell and be known not wasted!
