Lake Erie could create flooding concerns this spring, but experts at the Army Corps of Engineers predict that the lake's water levels will remain close to the historic average.
The Army Corps of Engineers released its latest water level report Tuesday. The information contained the latest forecast of water levels for the Great Lakes and the current Great Lakes basin conditions.
Record cold temperatures, near-record ice cover and record-breaking snowfall are impacting water levels, with the possibility of significantly above-average seasonal rises for the second consecutive year.
Lake Superior is seeing a rise in water levels, but Lake Erie should see no real change, said Keith Kempoltowicz, chief of the watershed hydrology branch of the Army Corps of Engineers.
The Army Corps took measurements of the surface of the lake above sea level in Toledo, Cleveland, Port Stanley and Port Colborne. Those measurements were compiled into a mean water level.
Lake Erie's level was recorded at 570.69 feet, slightly above the average last year but below the long-term average of water levels from 1918 to 2013. Kempoltowicz said Lake Erie experienced no seasonal rise in 2012 and a decline in water level for several months. Since then, in 2013, the water level began to rise. Such a rise in water level could affect recreational boating and access to beach areas.
Although water levels are expected to remain generally unchanged, flooding could be a concern if the ice covering Lake Erie melts quickly, said George Leshkevich, a Great Lakes environmental researcher.
Leshkevich said Lake Erie is about 96 percent covered by ice, and if the ice melts quickly, it could lead to ice jams. Runoff could also be a concern if there is heavy rainfall, he said.
The city of Vermilion recently experienced massive ice jams in the river near Mill Hollow, leading to flooding around Riverside Drive and West River Road. Those residents were evacuated during the floods at the end of February.
Kempoltowicz said the ice coverage on Lake Erie is not record-breaking — it has neared 100 percent coverage in the past — but the ice could create navigational problems.
"The ice has proven to be very challenging in the western basin of Lake Erie," he said.

Automatic Duck Pro Import 2.0 ReleasedTranslation software brings Avid and Final Cut Pro timelines to After Effects and RED
Automatic Duck Pro Import 2.0 offers the features of the company's earlier translation software, Automatic Composition Import, but with extended functionality. According to Automatic Duck, these enhancements include the translation of more Avid effects (Picture in Picture, Resize, 3D Warp, Superimpose and 3D Picture in Picture); translation of audio levels and keyframes from Avid and Final Cut Pro into After Effects; and AAF import, including translation of Avid locators into After Effects and RED. It also adds support for After Effects 6.0 and the ability to bring FCP timelines into the Windows version of After Effects.
As of this writing, Automatic Duck Pro Import supports Final Cut Pro 3.x only, which, according to the company, is owing to a change in FCP's plugin architecture with version 4.0. Automatic Duck says an update will be forthcoming when Apple releases its XML support plugins, sometime later this summer. For Avid, the software supports Avid ABVB systems (7.x/2.x), Meridien systems and Xpress DV.
Automatic Duck Pro Import 2.0 is available now for Mac OS X and Windows for $495. Upgrade pricing is also available. For more information, visit http://www.automaticduck.com.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
In-Game Experience- Out With The Old, In With The New
by Paul on 07/17/14 at 02:12 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Adam Proteau of The Hockey News,
The off-season is when NHL teams examine their rosters and look to improve. But as we know, there's more to every franchise's business dealings than the players themselves. There's also the matter of the in-arena experience for fans who spend big money on tickets. While some teams are better at it than others, there's lots of room for improvement in the way paying customers are entertained 41 nights per season. Here are three easy ways to do that:
1. Enough of the same old song. At the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, the same songs often are played not just game after game, but in the exact same circumstances every night. (I'm not talking about a team's "goal song". That's fine.) While there are hundreds, if not a few thousand people on any given night who may only attend one or two games a year, there are many more who are season-ticketholders in attendance every night. It's indefensible to subject them to a near-identical, cookie-cutter in-game experience, but that's the reality in many rinks.

Broccoli haters, hoping to disguise that green goodness in fritters; this, I tell you, is not the recipe for you!
However. If you, like me, are an avid broccoli lover, searching for more ways to use it to its full (other than lightly steamed as a side to a dish) then grab your mixing bowl, throw a chug of oil in the pan and get the quickest, greenest dinner underway.
As Deb says – there's a lot of broccoli and very little pancake in this fritter. The chunks of broccoli create a decent bite in the fritter; fritters that are not light and puffy but compact and hearty. The edges are deliciously crisp (if you aren't afraid of a good dash of oil). The combination of salty Parmesan and spicy red pepper load these with flavor without disguising the deliciousness of broccoli itself.
Serve these as is, straight off the BBQ, or whip up a light salad. J made one of couscous, toasted almonds, sun-dried tomatoes and feta which suited them perfectly. And because we like yoghurt on everything, we mixed up a bit of a lemony-yogurt sauce to dollop on top.
Broccoli Parmesan Fritters
Recipe from Smitten Kitchen
Makes 2 – 3 servings (about 6 fritters)
220g fresh broccoli (1 medium head, 3 cups chopped)
1 large egg
1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (30 grams) finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, plus more to taste
A pinch of red pepper flakes or several grinds of black pepper
Olive or vegetable oil for frying
Prepare your broccoli: Separate the florets from the biggest stem(s) and cut the florets into small chunks.
Steam your broccoli until tender but not mushy: Use whatever method you prefer. Like Deb, my favorite method is to bring a 1/2-inch or so of water to a boil in a small saucepan, then add the broccoli, place a lid on it and simmer it for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the broccoli, then set it aside to cool slightly.
In the bottom of a large bowl, lightly beat your egg. Add the flour, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Then, add the somewhat cooled broccoli and, using a potato masher, mash the broccoli just a bit. You're looking to keep the bits recognizable, but small enough (1/4- to 1/2-inch chunks) that you can press a mound of the batter into a fritter in the pan. Once mashed a bit, stir or fold the ingredients together the rest of the way with a spoon. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over moderate heat. Once hot, add a good slick of oil (I usually use a mix of olive and vegetable oil), about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Once the oil is hot (you can test it by flicking a droplet of water into it; it should hiss and sputter), scoop a two tablespoon-size mound of the batter and drop it into the pan, then flatten it slightly with your spoon or spatula. Repeat with additional batter, leaving a couple inches between each. Once brown underneath, about 2 to 3 minutes, flip each fritter and cook on the other side until equally golden, about another 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer briefly to paper towels to drain, then to a serving plate if you'll be eating them shortly or a baking sheet in a 200 degree oven if you'd like to keep them warm for a while until needed. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

9/66 Lanhydrock House
Country house. C17 on earlier foundation ; the north range dated 1636 ILR, for Lord John Robartes. The house was mostly gutted by fire in 1881 ; rebuilt 1882, with only the north range and part of the porch remaining from the original house. Granite ashlar with granite dressings. Slate roofs with ridge tiles and gable ends ; embattled parapet with obelisks with ball finials. Axial stacks in granite ashlar with embattled cornices. Plan: Of the original house, only the north range survives ; this is a wing of one build, added in 1636, as a first floor hall with barrel-vaulted ceiling to the hall, and heated from 2 lateral stacks on the inner side of the range. The house would have formed a U-plan front, with central porch in the central range, which survives. The house was rebuilt in the same U-plan form, with an extensive service block to rear left. Detailed description of the plan of the C19 house in sources. Exterior: 2 storeys, symmetrical front ; the west range has central 2-storey porch, the north range projecting to right and the south range, a mirror-image, projecting to left. Central symmetrical 4 bays with central porch tower. The porch has string courses, embattled parapet with obelisks ; ground floor doorway with 4-centred arch, roll-moulded, with recessed spandrels, hood mould with label stops ; fine door with carved panels. Carved stone shield of arms inset above, with hood mould. First floor has 2-light chamfered granite window with hood mould continued as string course. Two 6-light granite mullioned windows to right and left at ground and first floor. The north range is 2-storey, with three 4-centred arched doorways, roll-moulded, with carved spandrels and hood moulds, the one to left dated 1636, with panelled studded doors to all. Four C19 granite mullioned windows at ground floor. First floor has three 6-light C17 granite mullioned windows with king mullions, continuous hood moulds and embattled parapet. The front gable end is concealed by the parapet ; ground floor has C19 4-light chamfered granite window with king mullion. First floor has similar C17 6-light window with stained glass of C17. The outer side of the wing has 4 similar windows at first floor. Ground floor has C19 4-light windows, and 2 smaller 4-light windows which are possibly of C17. To end right, a 4-centred arched roll-moulded doorway with recessed spandrels, hood mould with label stops ; fine door, the upper part with carved arched panels. Similar small 4-light granite window to right. To rear left, the service ranges, of 2 storeys with attic ; all windows are in granite with mullions. Gabled dormers with scrolled kneelers. To rear, the service range is in squared rubble with granite dressings. Interior: The north range The rooms at ground floor have been altered in C19 and C20. At first floor is the gallery, running the whole length of the range. The plaster barrel ceiling was probably completed by 1642, and has 24 panels showing scenes from the Old Testament ; almost certainly attributed to the Abbot family of Frithelstock near Bideford. There are 2 granite fireplaces, contemporary, with basket arches, roll-moulded with vestigial ogees and carved mantels, with plaster overmantels. Panelling of C17, largely removed in C19 for bookcases. In the roof over the barrel vault, the original trusses remain ; these are of the same date as the plasterwork, the range having been built as a first floor hall. The trusses are not chamfered, and have halved and pegged principal rafters with threaded purlins ; straight collars and tie-beams, also halved and pegged. The principal rooms in the C19 building have panelling, granite fireplaces and plaster ceilings in Jacobean style. There is an unusually complete range of service rooms ; for further information see sources. Sources: Trinick, M.: Lanhydrock House 1986. Pevsner, N.: Buildings of England: Cornwall 1970.

It's Sawadeeka In Thailand (Part 2)
I promised in my earlier post that there would be a FEW photos of the Grand Palace but unfortunately, there is a maximum number of photos allowed per post, and I've lot's more to post up. So here's just a sneak peak should you decide to one day visit the Grand Palace yourself~!
So far so good.. Yay Bangkok!!
We rode on a "tuk-tuk" after our visit to the Grand Palace to a few different temples and museums around Bangkok. A "tuk-tuk" is like a three-wheeled scooter taxi.. I can honestly say that riding a "tuk-tuk" is the absolute cheapest private ride I've ever taken! Not to mention the most fun! The "tuk-tuk" driver took us to FOUR different tourist spots which weren't that near to one another for only 40 THB!! That's RM4!! Divided by the four of us, that was RM1 each!! *FAINT!!*
Among all the places the "tuk-tuk" driver took (no pun intended) us to, I found the museum (I forgot the name) the most beautiful! The interior was absolutely amazing!! The ceiling murals, the decor.. EVERYTHING! It was like being in an Asian Rome~! Too bad no photography was allowed within the walls.. Only outside photography was allowed.. What a waste..
We had to hurry back to our hostel later because we had a show to catch.. What show you ask? A Cabaret of course~! The one we went to was Calypso Cabaret where they delivered a truly amazing and entertaining 2-hour performance! That truly was a great way to end our day..
More to come soon..

Sailing to Canton
We dove in by ordering a few dishes, talking, drinking, and sampling - and then ordering a few more. I ate a lot of tapas during a recent trip around Catalonia, where my husband dragged me to all the restaurants he couldn't afford as a penniless student on his long-ago junior year abroad, and I thought Tasca de Plata's were nearly all spot-on. Four fat shrimp mellowed out in an earthenware bowl of garlic butter; a plate of sautéed potatoes dusted with smoked paprika contrasted with bits of chorizo; rotund green olives had Spanish anchovies swimming through their midsection; boquerones en vinagreta, slender silvery anchovies marinated in vinegar, waited to be popped in the mouth whole in one quick bite. A plate of anemic tomatoes had me pining for August; still, grilling and topping them with goat cheese helped to overcome their seasonal deficiencies.
My husband tried to describe chipirones en su tinta (whole baby squid in its ink) to the waitress, who seemed unfamiliar with Spanish food and was most comfortable taking orders by the numbers. She came back with a dish that was not what we'd hoped for, though not bad - strips of calamari steak, lightly battered, fried, and quite tender. Oh well. In the serrano ham croquettes, the renowned cured ham was diced, bound with béchamel sauce, and rolled in bread crumbs before being deep fried. The result was a crunchy nugget that opens up to a creamy filling, although I would have welcomed more intense serrano flavor. The house tapas plate was a respectable array of manchego cheese, serrano ham, and mild Spanish chorizo. The manchego lacked that distinct saltiness and tang, or maybe the slices were so thin I couldn't grab hold of the flavor. The single greatest shortcoming of a tapas night here was the bread, a sliced spongy baguette in a basket with little packs of butter.

NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- With S&P 500 stocks approaching all-time highs daily, it may be more instructive to look at potential hedges and "diversifiers."Here are three ETFs that are less likely to receive accolades when investors are smitten with Google ( GOOG) and Gilead ( GILD) . 1. iShares Silver Trust ( SLV). Over the last year, SLV has served as a fine diversification vehicle due to its low correlation (0.38) with the S&P 500 SPDR Trust ( SPY). And over the last six months, SLV has been an admirable hedge against a stock market decline (-0.50). Ye,t there's one statistical relationship that may make silver a solid longer-term investment... its 10-year .92 correlation with the national debt. In other words, as long as the national debt increases, so should the price of silver. Many people believe that the U.S. will never be able to pay down the national debt, that we can only push back the day reckoning. They argue that electronic money printing and/or quantitative easing merely allows the U.S. government to borrow inexpensively until a catastrophic event (e.g., war, hyperinflation, European-style debt crisis, civil unrest, crash, default, etc.) restructures the entire economy. It's hard to argue that our national debt will go down over the next 10 years. It follows that -- end of days or no end of days -- correlation data demonstrate silver's precious nature in a rising debt environment. Equally compelling, SLV has remarkable support at a price point of $25.

At least one system in the LAN must be designated
as the InfoServer server. For OpenVMS Integrity servers Version 8.4
and later, if you select to boot via memory disk by specifying the
appropriate boot flag and service name, make sure that the LAN server
and the Boot server are the same system. This is the system that hosts
the physical DVD drive from which network booting is performed. This
system must be running OpenVMS Integrity servers Version 8.2-1 or
later or OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 or later. The InfoServer software
comes as part of the base operating system on these systems.
The following steps are necessary to set up the
InfoServer software on the designated system:
SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.TEMPLATE to ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT (save
the ESS$LAD_STARTUP.TEMPLATE file as a backup).
SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT to modify parameters as needed. This
file configures InfoServer parameters affecting the OpenVMS LASTport/Disk
(LAD) server, which allows access to the DVD drive. The following
is an example of the configuration file (with default settings):
! Copy this file to SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT and edit it
! to suit your local situation.
! This file is used by SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.COM to set up
! the parameters for the InfoServer Application on OpenVMS
! LASTport/Disk (LAD) server.
! Note:
! The LAD disk block cache is structured as a number of fixed-size
! buckets. You must specify both the bucket size and the number of
! buckets for the cache.
! The LAD cache is allocated from non-paged pool and is in no way
! associated with the XFC cache. The total LAD cache size in bytes
! may be determined by the formula:
! cache-bytes = bucket-size-in-blocks * number-of-buckets * 512
! Be sure the SYSGEN parameters NPAGDYN/NPAGEVIR are sized appropriately.
! The following keywords with values are accepted by this procedure:
! BUFFER_SIZE - A number between 3 and 8 denoting the
! bucket size in blocks as follows:
! 3 - 8 blocks
! 4 - 16 blocks
! 5 - 32 blocks
! 6 - 64 blocks
! 7 - 128 blocks
! 8 - 256 blocks
! CACHE_BUCKETS - Number of buckets
! MAXIMUM_SERVICES - Maximum number of services (max=1024)
! WRITE_LIMIT - Server wide count of asynchronous writes
BUFFER_SIZE = 3 ! default (8 block buckets)
CACHE_BUCKETS = 512 ! Default setting
WRITE_LIMIT = 0 ! No async writes
MAXIMUM_SERVICES = 256 ! default (typically more than enough)
The following table provides a short description
of each of the parameters:
The InfoServer block cache is structured as an array
of fixed-size buffers (also called buckets). The BUFFER_SIZE parameter
determines the size of each buffer or bucket. The numeric value of
this parameter is an integer in the range 3 through 8, representing
the bucket size in 512-byte blocks as follows. Bucket sizes larger
than 32 blocks might not be appropriate for most users. The OpenVMS
client segments I/O requests larger than 31 blocks into 31-block chunks,
which could result in excessive I/O activity to the disk. The cache
is allocated from nonpaged pool and is dedicated solely to the LAD
8 blocks (default)
Sets the maximum number of services
that can be defined at one time for the server. The value of this
parameter must be a power of 2. The default and minimum value is
256 (adequate for most circumstances); the maximum value is 1024.
Each service descriptor consumes nonpaged pool; however, unused services
consume 4 bytes each.
The number of asynchronous write operations that
can be outstanding for the server at any time. The default is 0 (no
outstanding asynchronous write operations).
which network device will be used for InfoServer LAD operations.
You can use any network device that is visible to OpenVMS. Typically,
any network device that works with DECnet or TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
should work. Use the LANCP command SHOW CONFIGURATION to determine
which device to use, as described in Section C.2.1.
For this release
of OpenVMS, the LASTport protocol runs on only a single network device.
To enable this device, copy the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.TEMPLATE
file to the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT file, and then open the
SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT file and make the following changes:
the comment character (!) from the line that has the following text:
DEVICE = (). Within the parentheses, specify the device name. For
example: DEVICE = (EIA).
out the line that specifies ALL_CONTROLLERS = ON (comment out a line by inserting an exclamation point (!) at the
beginning of the line).
The following example shows the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT
file with the suggested changes made (shown in bold):
! This file will be used to set the appropriate LASTCP qualifiers. The following
! LASTCP qualifiers: ALL_CONTROLLERS, CHECKSUM, TRANSMIT_QUOTA, or SLOW_MODE
! can be set by using the following statement format:
! LASTCP qualifier = 1 to enable e.g. SLOW_MODE = 1 enables SLOW_MODE
! LASTCP qualifier = 0 to disable e.g. SLOW_MODE = 0 disables SLOW_MODE
! The remaining LASTCP qualifiers will require the appropriate value settings.
DEVICE = (EIA) ! Uncommented; device name specified
! TIMEOUT = n minimum interval in seconds
! CIRCUIT_MAXIMUM = n maximum number of nodes
! GROUP = n Group number
! NODE_NAME = name Node name
! CONTROLLERS = ([{controller letter,}...]) Controller list
! TRANSMIT_QUOTA = n Number of transmit buffers
!ALL_CONTROLLERS = ON ! Commented out
the following line to the system startup file SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:
you changed any SYSGEN parameters, run AUTOGEN and reboot (for information
about running AUTOGEN, see Section 7.24). If no SYSGEN parameters were changed,
you can skip the reboot and execute the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.COM
file manually.
After you complete these
steps, the InfoServer server software is running and available to
serve boot requests. The network devices are LAD0 (the LAD Server
Virtual Device) and LAST0 (the LAST Transport Layer Virtual Device).
InfoServer server can run on the same system as the InfoServer client.
You might want to start the InfoServer client on this system, allowing
the system to mount InfoServer devices. To start the InfoServer on
this system, enter the following command at the DCL prompt:
To have the
InfoServer client start at system boot, include the command in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.
that you have set up and enabled the InfoServer server, you must use
the InfoServer control program to create a service for the DVD drive.
Follow these steps:
the OpenVMS distribution media systemwide. In the following example,
DQA0 is the DVD drive name (typically, DQA0 or DNA0 is the drive name) and I64084 is the volume label (for OpenVMS Integrity
the following command at the DCL prompt to define the InfoServer control
program as a foreign command, or enter the line in a startup or login
command file:
Alternatively, you can enter the following command
to start the program:
the InfoServer control program and create the service, as in the following
example (the colon after the device name DQA0 is required):
The created service should now be available for
any InfoServer clients in the same LAN (these clients broadcast service
solicitations over the LAN).
Started as in this example, the InfoServer control
program accepts multiple commands until you exit by entering the EXIT
command (or pressing Ctrl/Z). You
can also enter a single command at the DCL prompt, returning you immediately
to the DCL prompt again:
The InfoServer control program commands are similar,
though not identical, to those supported by the hardware InfoServer
used traditionally by OpenVMS Alpha systems. For more information,
see the InfoServer help (at the InfoServer prompt,
enter HELP) or the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual.
OpenVMS Alpha systems only, you must perform the following steps:
MOP to use LANACP or DECnet on the system on which the OpenVMS InfoServer
utility is being used. For information about enabling MOP, see the
LANCP chapter in the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities
Reference Manual: A-L.
the APB_084.SYS file from the OpenVMS Alpha distribution media to
the MOP download directory (LAN$DLL, which defaults to MOM$SYSTEM).

Quote from Veritaas
Quote from Theungry
You've basically declared that the fundamental appeal of the Diablo franchise: gear whoring, is a design flaw.
I don't mean to say that it's a design flaw. I think it's a great draw! The problem is that the higher difficulty is more about having bigger numbers instead of having more skill.
I realize that for a game revolving around gear whoring this would make sense, but Diablo 1 and 2 never had this issue.
Firstly, most of your comparisons are relying on the idea that it's supposed to be like Diablo 2. This is a brand new game with completely different mechanics and play style. It's not supposed to be like D2.
Second, the reason you're dying all the time is because you're not geared up. Trust me when I say that I was getting extremely frustrated by dying over and over again by what I thought to be easy mobs. But I failed to realize I was focusing on the wrong stats - I needed far more Armor and Vitality than I had. I am very surprised that inferno requires that you have at least 70% damage reduction. If you don't, it's time to farm Hell or at least do Dank runs.
Lastly, I appreciate your candor, but it's a little rash to say the entire game is flawed due to it being to hard.

City council okays P7.4M supplemental budget-A A +A
Tuesday, April 22, 2014
THE Iloilo City Council has approved without cut the P7.415-million General Fund Supplemental Budget No. 1 for 2014 but rejected the Local Economic Enterprise (LEEO) Supplemental Budget No. 1 amounting P15.34 million as payment to the Panay Electric Company (PECO) for electricity consumption from December 2012 to June 2013.
Appropriations committee chairman Councilor Eduardo Peñaredondo said the supplemental budget will include the fund for capital outlay for Peace and Order Program in the purchase of three new units of L-300 vans totaling P2.7 million.
Peñaredondo said the three vans will be placed under the city mayor's office for use of visitors of the city and other emergency uses since the City Government is hosting an Asia Pacific Economic Council (APEC) Ministerial Meeting by 2015.
General Services Office chief Joren Sartorio said the purchase of the vans will be placed under an open public bidding.
He also admitted that supplier Avescor Corp. has offered the City Government the use of their two new vans for free as a way to help the city cope up with its hundreds of visitors everyday including foreign dignitaries, top corporate and national government officials.
Other particulars under the General Fund supplemental budget are payment of terminal leave benefits of employees, salary, PERA and premiums, capital outlay for projects of disability affairs office, Breaking Barriers for Young Adults with Disabilities, peace and order program, documentary stamps, repair and maintenance of office equipment, fund for the city assessor's office, city treasurer's office, BAC office and local disaster risk reduction management office.
On the other hand, the LEEO supplemental budget of P15.34 million payable account for electricity consumption at the Iloilo terminal market was put on hold pending a copy of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) order to obligate payable accounts within the year.
City councilor Plaridel Nava and Joshua Alim claimed the payable accounts to PECO can be paid from funds sourced from other programs but the payment cannot go beyond the DBM order.
Nava said he doesn't want city mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog facing a case at the Ombudsman because of infraction of the DBM order.
However, Peñaredondo said the offices of the city mayor and the city councilor nor the city treasurer and city budget have not received a communication from the DBM regarding payment of the PECO payable accounts in 2012-2013 using the budget of 2014.

Trucco Divinyls Lip Gloss Reviews
No thanksThe teensiest little container. Not worth it. I have this in "babydoll", which is a light pink. I think it is very sticky, smelly, and I just generally do not care for this product.

UnruliegirlI disagree totally....I LOVE this gloss. I wear it in Sugar Sugar ( a wonderful nude color) and I actually like the fact that it's a little tackier because once you put it on---it literally stays on for hours...zero need to reapply. It smells good....and doesnt leave your breath smelling or tasting weird like some glosses do.

Too sticky for my tasteI got one in Honey Lips and although I really like the color, the gloss was just way too sticky...something I really hate when it comes to lip glosses in general. I think I've only used this 3x before giving up on it as I couldn't stand the way it felt on my lips. While wearing it, my lips felt gunked up with goop and I had to tie my long hair back because I know it will be stuck to my lips in ...read moreno time. Length of wear is just like any sticky lip gloss so the stickier it is, the longer it will last but eating and drinking will remove it completely.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: Crackerjack was a much loved British childrens comedy variety show which aired on the BBC from 1955 through to 1984. A highlight of these shows were the silent comedy style sections starring Don Maclean and comedy genius Peter Glaze. Written and directed by Alan JW Bell (who is also known for directing the successful TV series Last of the Summer Wine) each week the lead actors played different parts, for example: fisherman, road sweepers, barbers, builders, farmers, window cleaners, bellboys, removals, etc, each scenario and situation ending up in hapless slapstick hilarity. Crackerjack may also have been the originator of the popular English phrase Dont get your knickers in a twist . In the Don and Pete sketches, Peter Glaze, who usually played a pompous or upper-class character, would always get exasperated with his comedy partner Don Macleans wisecracks or apparent stupidity. Maclean would then give an alliterative reply, such as Dont get your knickers in a knot or Dont get your tights in a twist , the combination of which has passed into popular culture. Peter Glaze often uttered Doh! to Dons wisecracks. Those Crackerjack Silents - Don and Pete brings 12 of these classic silent short films to DVD for the very first time. Special Features: Bonus Extras include an interview with Don Maclean entitled Don Maclean RemembersCheck stock and price

Cuccinelli-McAuliffe may wind up with just three debates
It's looking more and more likely that last weekend's Virginia gubernatorial debate at The Homestead set the table for just two more such gatherings – and will have been the only one seen across the state, albeit via a live stream on the Internet.
Although Democratic candidate Ken Cuccinelli initially proposed as many as 15 debates and Democratic counterpart Terry McAulffe proposed five, the only other two agreed upon aren't set until late September in Northern Virginia and possibly late September or early October in Southwestern Virginia.
Earlier this week, AARP Virginia and the League of Women Voters urged Cuccinelli to reconsider taking part in what it calls the "People's Debate" in Richmond, which would be available to local TV stations throughout the state.
"We want to ensure that the People's Debate will take place, because most voters can't attend a debate hosted by lawyers at a fancy resort or a debate organized by a business group with a pricey entrance fee," AARP/VA director Bill Kallio said.
Asked early Thursday morning to clarify why Cuccinelli declined the invitation, his press secretary, Anna Nix, supplied the following statement from chief campaign strategist Chris LaCivita:
"If Terry McAuliffe agrees to a debate with Ken Cuccinelli hosted by Sean Hannity and put on by the NRA and the U.S. Chamber Of Commerce, we'd be happy to attend the one hosted by an MSNBC moderator and those who oppose coal and celebrate Obamacare."
For his part, Cuccinelli quipped to reporters earlier this month in Hampton Roads that the proposed debate would be a "left-wing, stacked debate."
In fact, the debate would be moderated by CBS News anchor/reporter Norah O'Donnell, who left NBC and the often-left-leaning MSNBC two years ago. McAuliffe already has accepted the invitation.
Va. Gov. Bob McDonnell debated Democratic candidate Creigh Deeds at the event in 2009, and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine did likewise last year against George Allen.
As it is, the lone two agreed-upon clashes will be Sept. 25 in McLean hosted by the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, to be moderated by NBC News chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd, and a late-fall debate at Virginia Tech.

Burlington, MA Friday, April 04, 2003 – – For the second year in a row, ZOLL Medical Corporation (Nasdaq: ZOLL), a global manufacturer of non-invasive cardiac resuscitation devices, has won a NorthFace ScoreBoard Award presented by the Omega Management Group Corporation. The annual award is presented to companies that demonstrate exemplary customer service and exceed customer expectations. The two service categories in which ZOLL was recognized both in 2001 and 2002 were technical support, and order, shipment, and delivery.
Omega Executive Vice President Harry Rich presented the award at ZOLL's Burlington, Mass. headquarters on Friday, April 4, saying, "This award recognizes the commitment ZOLL's service departments have made to ensure that the company's customers receive the highest quality service. Winning this prestigious honor two years in a row affirms the consistency of service excellence ZOLL customers can expect."
To qualify for the NorthFace ScoreBoard Award, a company must meet four criteria: 1) senior management commitment to exceeding customer expectations; 2) customer satisfaction program which identifies and corrects customer problems; 3) measure the level of customer satisfaction with product/service; and, 4) achieve an overall score of 4.0 out of 5.0 for a year. In ZOLL's case, Omega conducted quarterly telephone surveys with 100 customers to determine level of achievement and quantify results.

Solution Spotlight: The CMMS/EAM That Went To College
EP Editorial Staff | March 23, 2012
Learn how a world-class maintenance management solution got into Harvard.
Harvard University is the place to go if you want to create positive social change, run the U.S. Treasury or, as has been the case several times, become President of the United States. Over the last 70 years, Harvard has become the global leader in educating and empowering individuals committed to advancing the public interest. Harvard professors are renowned scholars and accomplished practitioners who are actively engaged in the affairs of the world. Its students are legislators, executives, social entrepreneurs, advocates and aspiring leaders—from every age group and every corner of the globe.
A world-class university needs a world-class maintenance management solution and that's why Harvard chose FaciliWorks from CyberMetrics. Making the technological leap to the FaciliWorks 8i web-based computerized maintenance management software allows Harvard to replace its old, unreliable paper files and provides secure, efficient and accessible asset management for the entire college.
Harvard Kennedy School is constantly in flux with the enrollment of new students, the graduation of others and changes to faculty and staff information. The institution uses Windows Active Directory to track these critical information changes. Other than features and functions, one important reason FaciliWorks 8i Web-based CMMS was chosen here is that it seamlessly integrates with Windows Active Directory. This allows Harvard to leverage its existing IT security infrastructure with FaciliWorks. Because FaciliWorks 8i communicates directly with Active Directory in real time, Harvard does not have to manage a separate CMMS user database. This saves the school huge amounts of time and effort.
FaciliWorks, in conjunction with Windows Active Directory, allows the entire student body, staff and faculty to easily and securely submit service requests to a centralized maintenance department. Submitting service requests through FaciliWorks ensures data accuracy and completeness and eliminates time-consuming phone calls, illegible handwritten requests and incomplete emails. From a burned-out bulb in a lecture hall to an emergency water-main repair, anyone at Harvard who has valid Active Directory credentials can report maintenance issues and request service simply through FaciliWorks. MT
Whether deployed at a single location or across multiple facilities worldwide, whether used by management, engineers, technicians or students, FaciliWorks 8i can be scaled to fit various needs and budgets and is designed to grow with any organization. Over 12,000 facilities worldwide use CyberMetrics' products to reduce maintenance costs, improve productivity and ensure greater asset uptime. The company offers free trials of all of their software solutions.

Most rail fans such as myself have collected a handful of souvenirs relating to trains -- books and/or photographs of classic steam locomotives, calendars, recent photos they've taken of trains passing by or ball caps and T-shirts with a famous railroad's name and/or logo on the front.
Some might have a collection of model trains, and if they're lucky they might have an old lantern or oil can, or signal lights or crossbucks obtained when a line was abandoned and the tracks removed. Most items are small and can be stored in a room or closet or on a book shelf.
But Kenny DeYoung, who worked for the Erie Railroad for 13 years in the 1950s and 1960s, didn't stop at collecting those small items. He has a full-sized Erie red caboose, a concrete trackside telephone booth and various signal and crossing lights, plus other railroad items on his property.
And they all can easily be seen by passersby on Pioneer Trail at the intersection of Diagonal Road, just two or three miles east of the Aurora corporation limit.
In my 26 1/2 years at the Advocate, several Aurorans have asked me what I knew about the red caboose setting on the hillside lawn at that location. I've passed it many times, always wondered about it and vowed one day to find out how it got there.
Chamberlain Road resident Ron Eichelberry, a friend of DeYoung's and treasurer of the Rotary Club of Aurora, recently arranged for me to get a close look at the caboose and railroad memorabilia, and I did so Sept. 28 after attending the fall family festival at Sunny Lake Park.
From 1953 to 1966, lifelong Ravenna-Mantua resident DeYoung worked as an equipment manager for the Erie, doing maintenance along the stretch of track which ran from Levittsburg through Garrettsville, Mantua, Aurora and up into Cleveland.
Some parts of the track between Chamberlain Road and Cleveland still exist and are owned by Norfolk Southern, but the section between Chamberlain Road and Levittsburg is gone. The Erie -- or by then Erie Lackawana -- stopped running on the line in the early 1970s.
The 77-year-old DeYoung said that stretch once boasted businesses such as a feed and grain mill, lumber yard and sand plant, at which cars were switched regularly. He said he doesn't remember steam locomotives running on the line when he started since the Erie was mostly dieselized by then.
After leaving the railroad, DeYoung worked for Buckeye Pipeline and Kent State University, then became self-employed doing construction projects and handyman work until back problems slowed him down. His brother also worked for the Erie and Conrail for several years.
He continued his interest in railroads and had the opportunity to obtain a caboose in 1993 from a private owner near Sandy Lake in Mercer County, Pa. After finalizing the deal, the caboose stayed there for a year until DeYoung made arrangements with a friend to transport it on a low-boy trailer.
DeYoung said if he hadn't had a friend who owned equipment that could move the large vehicle, it would have cost a lot of money to relocate it.
It took several hours to move Erie number O-4961, which has now been in DeYoung's yard for 19 years. He's done much restoration work on the wooden caboose which dates to 1928. The carbody/frame weighs about 16 tons and the wheel assemblies, or "trucks," weigh about 8 tons.
DeYoung has rebuilt portions of the carbody and has repainted/treated or replaced some of the side boards. His vehicle is red on the outside -- like most but not all cabooses -- and gray with some narrow green strips on the inside.
DeYoung, who has lived in his Pioneer Trail home since 1964, said his caboose is similar to the one which sets beside Mantua Station Drug, which is numbered O-4967. DeYoung occasionally pitches in to help the owner of the drug store repaint and refurbish that caboose.
The caboose has become sort of a "man cave" for DeYoung, who sometimes spends his spare time inside. It has amenities such as bench seats, a stove, closets, icebox, bench bed, desks, lockers, toilet, lanterns hanging from the ceiling and a cupola on top equipped with a traditional seat.
DeYoung and his second wife Judy are president and secretary of a small group known as the Northeastern Ohio Railroad Historical Society, which meets to view train videos, talk about trains and sometimes go on excursions. Judy works at the Cleveland Clinic.
Scattered on the lawn near the caboose are a concrete trackside phone booth which once set along the Erie line near Mennonite and Mantua Center roads, crossbucks and crossing warning lights, pole-mounted semaphore signal, vertical colored light signal and "W" sign, which sets along a track and instructs the engineer that a crossing is ahead and he should sound his whistle or horn.
DeYoung said when he is no longer around, he hopes to donate the caboose to an organization or government entity which would preserve and display it, so the younger generation can see what working on the railroad was like in the industry's first century or so.
My visit with DeYoung and his wife was enjoyable and long overdo.
Although cabooses, or "cabeese" as some people call more than one, are rarely used on railroads now, they still can be seen many places on the U.S. landscape. They were largely replaced in the 1980s by ETDs (end of train devices) and FREDs (flashing rear-end devices).
The rear-end devices relay air-brake pressure and other readings from the back of the train to the locomotive engineer, who also now can get computer printouts with important information. With modern advances, train crews have been reduced from three to five people, to two.
"Caboose" is said to have originated from the German "kabuus" or the Dutch "kabuis," which meant a "little room" or a galley on an 18th century ship.
About three years ago in this column, I wrote about a visit to Dave Adair's residence east of Cambridge in Guernsey County. He has four cabooses in various states of restoration, plus a replica of a depot which contains train memorabilia. He's a member of the Byesville Scenic Railway.
Cabooses also can be found at museums such as the Dennison Depot, Conneaut Depot and Mad River & Nickel Plate in Bellevue. Sometimes they set on sidings along railroad lines. A pair in Steubenville and Sugar Grove near Lancaster serve as visitor centers.
On Route 22 a few miles west of Cadiz, an old Norfolk & Western caboose sets in a farm field. I've seen others on streets in Hartville, Grafton, Holloway, Brewster (near Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway's headquarters), Shawnee and Belpre, and there's a shell of one at Ohio's first oil well near Caldwell.
Several cabooses also set on tracks near the Hocking Valley Scenic Railroad depot in Nelsonville. There's 21 of them on tracks in Titusville, Pa., which have been converted into motel rooms. I stayed in the Nickel Plate caboose during a Labor Day weekend road trip to the Oil Region. And the Little Red Caboose Motel is in Strasburg, Pa.
Cabooses came to railroads in the mid-1800s, and early ones were converted box cars or shanties on flat cars. Some short, four-wheeled cabooses were called bobbers. Regular cabooses ride on four, two-wheeled "trucks." Other names for cabooses are crummies, way cars, cabins, hacks, clown wagons and brain boxes.
They provided an easy way for crews to exit trains for switching or to protect the rear when stopped, helped crews check for problems and served as offices for conductors, brakemen and flagmen. Early cabooses were made of wood, but steel ones became popular duirng World War I.
A standard caboose featured a cupola so the conductor could sit above the vehicle's roofline and see forward or backward. There also were the bay window style (extended window on the side) and extended vision cupolas or "saddlebags" (ones wider than the sides of the carbody).
Cupolas could be situated in the middle of the carbody, at various positions between the middle and end or right on the end. B&O "wagontop" cabooses were bay window styles with a unique vertical-ribbed construction.
In their heyday in the late 1920s, there were about 34,000 cabooses on U.S. railroads. The International Car Co. in Kenton, Ohio, was a leader in caboose construction. Cabooses generally were not air conditioned, but did have stoves for heating in cold weather.
Although most were bright red, a number of railroads painted cabooses a different color such as maroon for the Pennsylvania, yellow for the Chesapeake & Ohio, green with yellow ends for Burlington Northern and blue for Conrail. After 1946, Nickel Plate cabooses carried the slogan "Nickel Plate high speed service" on the sides.
I was privileged to ride in the cupola of the Midwest Railroad Preservation Society's caboose during an excursion on the Wheeling & Lake Erie line from the Glenwillow depot to downtown Kent and back about three years ago. It was a unique experience.

Confucian Perfectionism:
Since the very beginning, Confucianism has been troubled by a serious gap between its political ideals and the reality of societal circumstances. Contemporary Confucians must develop a viable method of governance that can retain the spirit of the Confucian ideal while tackling problems arising from nonideal modern situations. The best way to meet this challenge, Joseph Chan argues, is to adopt liberal democratic institutions that are shaped by the Confucian conception of the good rather than the liberal conception of the right.
Confucian Perfectionism examines and reconstructs both Confucian political thought and liberal democratic institutions, blending them to form a new Confucian political philosophy. Chan decouples liberal democratic institutions from their popular liberal philosophical foundations in fundamental moral rights, such as popular sovereignty, political equality, and individual sovereignty. Instead, he grounds them on Confucian principles and redefines their roles and functions, thus mixing Confucianism with liberal democratic institutions in a way that strengthens both. Then he explores the implications of this new yet traditional political philosophy for fundamental issues in modern politics, including authority, democracy, human rights, civil liberties, and social justice.
Confucian Perfectionism critically reconfigures the Confucian political philosophy of the classical period for the contemporary era.
Joseph Chan is a professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Hong Kong.
"[T]he political vision that emerges from the pages of this book is reasonable, humane and inspiring."--Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Chan has created a very interesting work in the Confucian tradition of revival and reinterpretations for current times."--Choice
"[This book is] at the forefront of contemporary attempts to grapple with the normative and empirical issues presented by East Asian politics and the relationship of those issues with democracy. [It] supplies important insights into, and reasons for, considering alternatives to liberal democracy, but also raises equally important questions and problems related to those alternatives."--David J. Lorenzo, Perspectives on Politics
"Joseph Chan's book is an exceptionally ambitious yet moderate reconstruction of Confucianism for such an inhospitable world and, as such, it is important both in its own right and as an exemplar of a steadily expanding normative enterprise."--Jiwei Ci, Dao
"Chan's writing is very clear and wellstructured. His arguments and in-depth analysis of issues shows that he has a thorough understanding of the strengths and limitations of both western liberal democracy and ancient Confucianism."--Andrew T.W. Hung, European Political Science
"This splendid book makes a powerful case that Confucianism has much to contribute to contemporary political thought and practice the world over. With clear and careful argumentation, Chan shows that Confucian perfectionist ideals retain their attractiveness in the present day and that new kinds of institutions are needed to best realize these ideals in our modern world."--Stephen C. Angle, Wesleyan University
"Joseph Chan is one of the most sophisticated and insightful people working not only to understand traditional Confucian political philosophy but also to develop it as a powerful and attractive view for the modern world."--Philip J. Ivanhoe, City University of Hong Kong

This M&M Filled Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting recipe is partnered post through Collective Bias on behalf of their client. #BakingIdeas
My husband's birthday is four days after Christmas, so he knows firsthand how difficult it is to have a birthday near Christmas. His entire life his special day has fallen into one of two categories – a combination birthdayChristmas present or an overload of presents in a short span of time. Not only that, he shares his birthday with his grandma and his cousin.
With his experiences in mind and knowing at least a dozen friends and family members with December birthdays, when we started planning to have a baby we intentionally avoided a December due date. We didn't want our baby's birthday to get lost in all of the chaos of the holidays. We wanted her to have her own special day or even month, so that there wasn't even the possibility of a combination cake or party.
As you know, our efforts spent planning were thwarted when Cakes decided to make her arrival 9 weeks early…three days before Christmas. Which means her first Christmas was spent in the NICU.
From day 1, I've been fighting to carve out her own special day amidst the other celebrations. Starting with her first birthday, I saw that having a birthday party so close to Christmas just wasn't going to happen.
Our family has long been a fan of the showing love and appreciation for each other throughout the year, instead of saving it up for one day a year. For a child this is a pretty advanced concept, so we're doing our best to make Cakes feel amazing on her special day.
Even without a big party, I'm finding there are plenty of ways to keep her happy and still celebrate the day. With her birthday undoubtedly falling during Christmas Break, I coordinate with her teachers to plan a small birthday celebration at school before vacation begins and on a day other than the Christmas party.
My little party planner loves being able to choose a theme and different dessert for the party at school and again for the family party. While we were at Walmart last week picking out a theme (Scooby Doo) for Cakes' class party, she decided she wanted chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Wanting to allow her the freedom to choose her dessert, I purchased the ingredients but also some plain and peanut M&M's to dress up the cupcakes a little.
I ultimately decided to move outside my comfort zone and make M&M Filled Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting, topped with more M&M's! These were definitely a success and Cakes was super excited to share her "candy cupcakes" with all her friends!
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- Milk Chocolate and/or Peanut M&M's
- 1 c. unsalted butter (2 sticks), room temperature
- 4 Tbsp. milk
- 4 tsp. clear vanilla extract
- 4 c. powdered sugar
- Prepare chocolate cupcakes according to cake box directions and allow to cool.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by mixing all ingredients together using an electric mixer.
- **If you plan on spreading your frosting instead of piping it on, you can half this recipe. The cupcakes in the pictures have a healthy amount of frosting on them.**
- Then, scoop out area ⅔ of the cupcake deep. This area should be just large for M&M's to fit in without a lot of extra room. I used a Wilton cupcake filling tip and this was the perfect size.
- Frost cupcakes with buttercream frosting. I used a Wilton 1M tip and made a small rosette in the center to cover the M&M filling hole first. Then, started on the outer edge and continued filling into the middle.
- You can garnish with more Milk Chocolate and Peanut M&M's, or leave the treat in the center completely a surprise.
For more creative desserts using your child's favorite M&M's candies, check out the Baking with M&M's Pinterest board.

First Football Game Photos
Jaylin's team played their first football game of the year this past Saturday. Unfortunately, they lost, 28-13. But it was an exciting game to watch. On the good side, Jaylin scored two touchdowns, and he also ran in for an extra point. Here are some photos from the day:
Of course, I tried to make sure that Jaylin remembered that he was just one person on the team, and he couldn't have scored those touchdowns unless everyone on the team was doing his part.
Still, I was a proud dad.
