Pictures from Haiti make the devastation from the recent earthquake seem almost palpable. Many people have answered the cry for help — among them the churchgoers of Hernando County.
Bill Yoos is a member of the board of International Village of Hope, a mission that operates an orphanage in Port au Prince and two schools nearby that are supported by his church, Nativity Lutheran in Weeki Wachee.
Earlier this month, church members received both good and bad news.
"The school buildings and the orphanage are still standing — damaged, but in relatively good shape," Yoos said. "The pastor (director of the schools) is unharmed, as is his family and his home. The director of the orphanage is also okay. We were saddened to hear, however, that the principal of one of the schools died in the quake."
Two students, one from each school, were also casualties.
"We were planning a trip in March, but that's on hold," said Yoos, who has made five mission trips to Haiti since 2002.
Meanwhile, the church is collecting monetary donations and medical supplies.
Aleta Harris, administrative assistant at Spring Hill Calvary Church of the Nazarene, said her church has sent money for relief efforts being conducted by the denomination and about 90 crisis kits.
The kits contain personal items and a small stuffed toy for a child.
"It is a package of small but practical items that make a big difference to people who are left with little or nothing," Harris said. "We will continue to pray, because we are a people of prayer."
Spring Hill Bible Church is part of a network of churches that participate in Rapid Response Ministry, a division of the World Relief Ministry of Baptist Mid-Missions.
"The main purpose of the ministry is to put together a team of laymen from local churches that will … assist with cleanup, delivery of supplies and other needs," said church administrator Norm States. "At the appropriate time, the teams will be called upon to help with the rebuilding efforts."
Currently, the church is collecting funds that will be used by the denomination's missionaries in Haiti to help meet the immediate physical and spiritual needs.
Shortly after the earthquake, John Roy from Proceeding Word Ministries in Brooksville began looking for ways to help. Some ministries were not yet able to get supplies into the country, so the church began collecting money to be dispersed by Harvest International, a missionary outreach with a school in Port au Prince.
St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church in Spring Hill took up collections at two weekend masses and received more than $33,500 to be distributed through Catholic Relief Services.
A letter to parishioners from a sister parish in St. Pierre in Terrier Rouge let them know that they had no damage there and thanked them for their "many concerns and good wishes, but especially for your prayers."
Members of the Baha'i community made a contribution to the National Baha'i Fund.
"These funds will then be forwarded to the Baha'i World Center for relief support in Haiti," said Dori Peloquin, noting that individuals from the community also donated through other organizations and that the children's class raised $14 that was donated to the Salvation Army.
Two children from the Temple Beth David Irwin Lieberman Religious School in Spring Hill also wanted to help.
"Grayson and Ethan Stein started their own small-scale effort by contributing their personal allowance money," said the school's principal, Jill Pfluke.
One of the children has a classmate with relatives in Haiti.
Inner Peace Church of the Spirit in Brooksville had a yard sale last weekend, designating all proceeds for Haitian relief.
Money from the sale, including donations, is being sent to Partners in Health, which operates in Haiti.
Dr. Adel Eldin said that all of the mosques in the Tampa Bay area recently donated money to Islamic Relief USA, which opened a special account to help with relief efforts in Haiti.
Bishop Robert Lynch has asked St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church in Spring Hill to take up a special collection for Haiti, said parish business manager Marie Ulasewich.
The money will be sent through the diocese to Catholic Relief Services.
Mary Ann Phaup of Brooksville Wesleyan Church and her husband, Raymond, participated in a mission trip to Haiti several years ago.
"That is such a sad situation over there," Mrs. Phaup said. "I cannot imagine what they are going through."
Brooksville Wesleyan took up a special offering that will be used by World Hope International to help the people of Haiti.
Suncoast Christian Church-Disciples of Christ of Brooksville said members have and will continue to contribute to Haitian relief monetarily. Contributions will be delivered through the denomination's headquarters in Indianapolis.
The Nature Coast Baptist Association is coordinating relief efforts for local association members, including First Baptist Church of Hernando Beach, which took up an offering after a missionary to Haiti spoke at the church earlier this month.
Frank Prestigiacomo, executive pastor at Grace World Outreach Church in Brooksville, said the Assembly of God's Convoy of Hope has been helping in Haiti.
"We have teams in Haiti meeting food and medical needs right now. … We have encouraged our church family to donate and will be receiving another special offering," Prestigiacomo said.
The Florida Baptist Convention has had ministries in Haiti for more than 20 years, and Northcliffe Baptist Church in Spring Hill took up a collection to help with the convention's relief efforts earlier this month.
"We collected over $9,300 for immediate disbursement toward emergency aid in Haiti," said ministry assistant Jackie Laird.
Additional contributions can be made through their church, she said.
Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Spring Hill took up a collection on Sunday as part of a coordinated effort by congregations of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of the USA, which will forward funds to International Orthodox Christian Charities, already working to provide humanitarian aid in Haiti.
Ridge Manor Community United Methodist Church is supporting efforts to send aid by way of the United Methodist Committee on Relief. Health kits, along with food and water, are also being distributed.

Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that I truly believe that we can still make money out of the stock market. I think that there are 3 main ways to make a lot of money (there is technically a 4th one which would implicate you working like a damned demon for a company for several years and hope to get the VP position). The first one is to invest in the stock market. This one is quite "easy" as if you simply buy ETF's and wait 30 years, you will wake up one day with a lot of money! However, it requires golden guts 😉
The second option that we will be discussing today is through rental properties. This is the baby boomer's classic success story of the guy who didn't have much education but was a hard worker. He pilled up his money to buy his first property, than his second one and he bought a land, build 20 properties on it and he is now living by the lake… I must agree with you that I also fell in love for this story. We all know people who succeeded through real estate. We all know them because real estate is easy to see, buildings last and it makes us think it is safer.
However, while I still think that we can make money through real estate, it is far from being a safe investment. There plenty of risk that you must consider (illiquidity, default payment from renters, major repairs, drop in value (think of the American market), etc.). So don't think that it is that amazing! What is really cool though, is that it can be used as a big "dividend tank" that send you money months after months!
Why you can still make money with real estate:
Depending on where you live, there are several reasons why you can still make money through rental properties. The major point is that borrowing doesn't cost much right now. I am convinced that people who have the guts to borrow as much as they can today will be greatly rewarded in a few years. We have a unique chance of paying almost no interest in order to buy depreciated assets… Doesn't this sound like the opportunity of a lifetime?
The second point is that there are a lot of rental properties which has been depreciated in value. This is probably a great timing to start looking around and look at how much it would cost to buy real estate in your area. Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere. In Quebec, value didn't drop much. In fact, my house keeps increasing in value years after years. However, I would be curious to look at properties in Florida!
The third point is the blessing of having a recession (say WHAT?). Well if people start losing their job, they will probably consider selling their house and start looking for an apartment. Therefore, you have better chance of getting renters. On the other side, it might become harder to get paid on time 😉 Nonetheless, the demand for apartment will definitely increase in the upcoming year. I don't think that young couple will get their first 350K mortgage at the age of 25 anymore… they will stay in an apartment for a few more years and gather more money before buying! This would be the client you should be looking for!

It has often been said of real estate that you make your money when you buy. Buying in a recession when the consensus of opinion is that property is a poor investment makes a lot more sense than waiting until the market has recovered and every Casey Serin wannabe is bragging about how much money they are making flipping houses instead of working for a living…..
I don't know anything about real estate investing. If something breaks, I won't know how to fix it. I would most likely hire some sort of a contractor person that would eat up my whole profit. I am also afraid that my tennants would be methlab entrepreneurs and would eventually burn down the whole place. Diversification is important as well if you ask me – what happens if I buy a rental in a certain place and it goes great for a few years, before your region gradually becomes an unsafe neighbourhood or the major employers in town have to billions in government bailout money. ( Think of Detroit and recent headlines about houses selling for $10K/piece)
That's why i simply invest in REITs. It's easy, you get instant geographic diversification, and some REITs even pay you monthly distributions instead of quarterly.
My 2 cents is that Real Estate also gives you the greatest leverage with moderately small risk
What other asset can let you borrow to 80% when you only have to put in 20%, and that you are making money, with bank and tenants' money 🙂
I certainly hope we can still be profitable through RE…. I hope to get into that when I can – luckily I'll have plenty of other successful bloggers to talk to for the advice!
Rental properties can be very profitable. My parent rented out a big house to college age girls and they're receiving more than enough revenues to pay the mortgage!
I certainly hope we can still be profitable through RE…. I hope to get into that when I can – luckily I'll have plenty of other successful bloggers to talk to for the advice!
Oops…forgot to say great post! Looking forward to your next one.
I think you bring a good point by buying REITs. I don't know much about real estate investing (besides that I made a good deal when I purchased my house 😉 ). Sometimes, it is better to stick with what you know. However, I would like to give it a try someday…
I would says that the biggest risk when you borrow 80% of the value of the property is that rent won't be enough to cover all your fees (including maintenance, insurance, taxes and mortgage payments). Therefore, you will have to disburse money every month… I don't like this scenario too much. I think it is best to buy an asset that will immediately produce income.
I know people WANT to be able to get into the rental property ownership business because they think it is a good way to make some passive income, but they're leery because of tenant issues that could arise. In this market, it's tough to get people to take a risk on something like this, even though it makes sense on paper. They know it'll take time and effort dealing with tenants and maintenance, or will require further investment into a property management company. I think it's those that not only have extra money to invest in such a property, but enough money to not be afraid of a potential loss that are more likely to invest into something like this.

July 14, 2008
COQUITLAM, B.C. - The United States U-19 men's lacrosse team defeated Canada, 19-12, in the gold medal match of the 2008 International Lacrosse Federation (ILF) World Championships before an estimated 3,400 fans at Percy Perry Stadium Saturday afternoon. Fueling the victory for the Americans were the efforts of Johns Hopkins standouts Matt Dolente and Tim Donovan, who played pivotal roles in the title game.
Dolente, Hopkins' top returning faceoff specialist, won 19-of-28 faceoffs and scored one goal in the championship game to solidify a spot on the All-World Team. He was also named the Outstanding Midfielder of the 10-day tournament. Dolente won five straight faceoffs at one point in the fourth quarter and scored his lone goal early in the period to fuel a 4-0 run that turned a 14-11 lead into an 18-11 advantage that Canada would never threaten.
Donovan punched home two goals and added one assist in the championship game. He assisted on a second-quarter extra-man goal that gave the U.S. a 9-7 lead then bookended a 5-1 run to close the game with his two goals.
Dolente was spectacular throughout the tournament as he won 115-of-175 (.657) faceoffs in the seven victories. After winning 81-of-127 (.638) faceoffs in five pool-play games, Dolente took his efforts up a notch in the semifinals and championship. He won 15-of-20 in a 25-5 semifinal win over England before his 19-of-28 showing in the win over Canada in the final.
Donovan, who is expected to take over a leading role on Hopkins' midfield in 2009, totaled six goals and three assists in the seven games.
The United States has now won all six Under-19 Championships since the event debuted in 1988. A total of 17 Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse players have participated in the event, including current Associate Head Coach Bill Dwan (1988), three-time First Team All-American A.J. Haugen (1996) and Dave Marr (1992), JHU's all-time assist leader. Included in the 17 JHU participants is Kevin Huntley, who played for Canada in 2003.

Washington, DC—Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement today after West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin announced he will appoint Carte Goodwin to serve as his state's junior Senator, filling the seat vacated by the late Senator Robert Byrd, until a special election is held this November:
"Robert Byrd was a powerful and irreplaceable voice for West Virginians, a consummate Senator who never forgot where he came from or what his constituents needed. Governor Manchin has set up a fair process for West Virginians to choose a permanent replacement for Senator Byrd in November and has appointed a worthy public servant, Carte Goodwin, to represent them in the Senate until that election.
"Senator-designee Goodwin has a strong record as an effective advocate for the people of West Virginia at the state and federal levels. When we swear in Senator-designee Goodwin next Tuesday, we will continue to move forward on many important policies to help middle-class families, including creating jobs, extending unemployment insurance and strengthening small businesses.
"I look forward to serving with Carte Goodwin and I know that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will join me to welcome him to our Senate family."

Bella never saw Italy except in photographs that old people in the Old Country sent. Mostly pictures of dead bodies in open caskets. Italy seemed to be a country where everyone was dead or dying. There wasn't much cool about being an Italian Canadian in the Niagara Peninsula in 1966. Much better to be a Loyalist heroine -- Laura Secord!

A fresh coat of paint can be a retailer's best friend when it comes to giving a fresh look to an old, tired store without breaking the budget. Ian Van Heyst, VP of CertaPro Painters Commercial Services, one of the largest painting companies in North America, discussed painting in commercial interiors and related trends with
Chain Store Age: Compared to other decor upgrades, a fresh coat of paint is a relatively small investment, isn't it?
Ian Van Heyst: Painting gives a retailer the "best bang for their buck," or the greatest visual impact for the fewest dollars. It can be anything from a simple repaint of worn or tired areas to a change of colors (feature walls or full store) to regenerate excitement with their clientele. Most retailers appreciate the value of painting given the current economic pressures to keep stores looking fresh with lower budgets.
CSA: What are the biggest mistakes retailers make when it comes to painting their facilities?
Van Heyst: Too often the scope of work is not thought through thoroughly, especially preparation levels and quality of products. If time permits, do two to five prototype stores so that everyone has common expectations. Ensure that the products selected give the short-term results, and will endure for the long term.
CSA: How often should a store re-paint its interior?
Van Heyst: If the proper specification is used, interior painting should last four to six years, except in high-traffic areas, which could be touched up one to two times each year (depending on store traffic). Often, retailers will do such high-traffic areas right after the Christmas season is over.
CSA: Are there any specific challenges that come with painting in a store?
Van Heyst: Our focus is always to get in and out on schedule so that store personnel and clientele are inconvenienced or stressed as little as possible. While on site, all store stock, floors, fixtures, etc. need to be protected against dust or spatter. To make painting 'no trace' in this environment comes with experience.
CSA: What are the advantages of using a national painting contractor vs. independent ones in local markets?
Van Heyst: A national contractor provides a single point of contact to source, qualify and manage a work force over a wide geography. Through training and standard operating procedures, a national vendor can provide consistency in pricing, quality and store experience.
CSA: CertaPro Painters is a franchised operation. What impact, if any, does that have on your customers?
Van Heyst: Being franchised allows CertaPro Painters to offer our customers national service through local, trusted and known businesses. With our franchises we have long-standing relationships and agreements that go beyond a single project.
CSA: How do you ensure the same level of quality and consistency throughout your network?
Van Heyst: Through training, standard operating procedures, and a common business culture/language, CertaPro Painters ensures consistency of quality and store experience.
CSA: What about retailers with stores in international locations—can you help in these instances?
Van Heyst: CertaPro Painters has some international operations, though our focus is North America, including Canada, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
CSA: Does CertaPro offer any services beyond painting?
Van Heyst: In general, we offer a full range of minor-repair services to areas to be painted. On exteriors, we paint, seal (clear coating) and waterproof (above grade), as well as do sealant/caulking work. More extensive repairs to exteriors can include wood replacement, EIFS/brick/block repair, etc.
On the interior, in addition to conventional painting applications, we can remove and re-hang wallcovering, texture walls, drywall/mud damaged areas, repair trim elements, etc.
For rollouts, CertaPro Painters provides more than just painting services, as we partner with other national trade-specific suppliers (e.g., flooring, signage, etc.) to provide turnkey solutions for our customers.
CSA: We're hearing a lot about the green movement and sustainability. Is that having any impact on the work you do? If so, how are you responding?
Van Heyst: The restrictions on VOCs (volatile organic compounds) has been changing painting specifications for some years already. Setting the proper specification (especially with new technology products) and ensuring quality execution speak to the sustainability component. We work closely with all our valued paint manufacturers to provide the best green solutions to our customers.
CSA: Are you noticing any other trends in the retail market?
Van Heyst: In higher-end retail stores and restaurants, there is still a demand for specialty finishes. On the whole, we are seeing paint being used to create frequent dramatic changes in stores on feature or seasonal walls—we can be in stores several times a year. Painted color is being used to grab consumer attention, and keep it longer.

Asaram aide's anticipatory bail rejected
By IANS | Published: 12th September 2013 06:58 PM |
Last Updated: 12th September 2013 06:59 PM | A+A A- |
A Rajasthan court here Thursday rejected the anticipatory bail application filed by Shilpi, an aide of Asaram Bapu, in a case of abetting an alleged sexual assault by the spiritual guru on a minor last month, a lawyer said.
Shilpi is the warden of the hostel in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara where the girl, who accused Asaram of sexual assault, stayed. The hostel is situated in the ashram that is allegedly run by Asaram.
Prosecution counsel Anand Purohit said Shilpi filed an application through her lawyer in the court of the district and sessions judge (rural).
"She sought anticipatory bail. In the application, she pleaded innocence and stated that she has been interrogated by police and there is no evidence against her in the case," said Purohit.
Opposing the anticipatory bail, Purohit told the court that police had enough evidence against her.
"The court rejected the bail application," he said.
According to the allegations of the 16-year-old girl, the spiritual guru sexually assaulted her on the pretext of exorcism.
Asaram has been booked under various sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and the Indian Penal Code. He has denied the allegations.
The spiritual guru was arrested from Indore in Madhya Pradesh Sep 1 and brought to Rajasthan and is in judicial custody till Sep 16.

Local Christian musician Luzi Hernandez has spent a lifetime spreading the gospel through song, and now she is sharing her love of Christ through her own work of art.
Hernandez's Christian contemporary album, "I Surrender All," was released Tuesday.
She has been writing songs for many years, and an album was always a dream of hers, but it only recently became a reality. Over the years, "I concentrated on my family," she said, "and sang wherever I was invited." Those invitations included churches, prisons and events across the country and Germany, as she moved with her husband of 25 years throughout his 18-year military career.
From Texas, Virginia and Georgia to Germany and back, Hernandez used the power of music to reach out to people who don't normally get much attention.
"I enjoy working with the elderly and prisoners," she said. "I do what God's called me to do."
Now, with her three children grown, Hernandez is making her dreams come true.
One year ago, she was signed to Tate Music Group with the help of her manager and agent, Donna Doss-Spicer.
What initially drew Doss-Spicer to Hernandez was her "diligence, zeal and wonderful heart," she said. "She's very deserving."
Four of Hernandez's songs are on her album. Her daughter, Jessica, wrote two of the songs and co-wrote another with her mother.
The song, "Only For Your Love," serves as a reminder of God's love and her love of her brother-in-law, who lost a 12-year battle to cancer in recent years.
"He's the Christian I admire the most," she said. "No
matter how much pain he was in, every time I saw him, he had a smile on his face."
He loved to hear her sing.
It is this deep joy and love of God that Hernandez hopes emanates from her songs.
"The CD represents my walk with Christ," she said, "from beginning to end."
Hernandez credits her husband, Jonathan, as another inspiration for her work and with introducing her to her faith.
"God placed him in my life when I needed someone most," she said.
They met in Puerto Rico, where both their parents lived.
In the summer of 1988, she attended church with her future husband, calling it one of the best experiences of her life.
Her Christian faith helped her deal with the uncertainty of military life as well.
"God has to be the center," she said of her marriage. "He has to be the connection."
She said her husband has been immensely supportive of her burgeoning career.
Now, she can focus on music and writing, as her husband looks toward retirement.
"It's an exciting time," she said.
"She raised her children, she's had a lot of hard knocks and been the backbone of her family," Doss-Spicer said. "It's her time now."
Hernandez said she hopes to continue spreadingthe message of her faith through song, traveling as far as her music will take her.
"If just one person is touched by my singing, it's all worth it," she said.

The Power of Paint!
I have been in my duplex for over a decade now and slowly, room by room, I'm making it my own. It's been a gradual process because I've been honing my own style and, as we all know, renos can be expensive.
While I've replaced some countertops, carpeting, and redone a few floors, some of my biggest household transformations have come via A CAN OF PAINT – and not even on the walls! Big change for relatively small change. (However to be clear, I didn't do the painting myself, I hired a very well-priced professional!)
Kitchen Cabinets:
The main living area is an open space concept, living room, dining room and kitchen combined. I wanted the kitchen to look more modern and updated. I painted the cabinets white (Simply White), the same colour as the walls.
The following year I re-did the backsplash, then replaced the countertops and finally, last winter, re-stained the floors darker. Granted some of these projects were pricey but I saved a lot by simply repainting instead of replacing those cupboards.
Bathroom Cabinets:
My bathroom cabinets were maple-coloured and tired. In the master bathroom I painted them Benjanim Moore's Wenge, a dark brown to play off the granite countertop. In the guest bathroom, I went with a darker grey on the cabinets and lighter grey on the walls. It looks cool and crisp.
Bedroom Furniture:
The bedroom really wasn't "me" for a long time. The furniture was heavy and overly masculine. (See photo at the very top.) I got rid of the bed frame (saved for a future guest room), but what to do with the imposing and dark chests of drawers? They're very utilitarian – i.e. big enough for all my gack – so I'd be basically looking for the same thing in another colour.
Peridot's Leah Balderson put me in touch with a great painter, who spray painted the chest of drawers and tallboy a glossy white. (Simply White again.) I love how they turned out…fresh and more feminine, for probably a third of the price of buying new. Plus, I much prefer recycling to tossing or reselling.
My work is not yet done
I hate the tiles in the bathrooms. Maybe a project for 2013! What are your penny-saving reno tips?

Many business aviation operators could lose their livelihoods because of political tussles between the European Union (EU) and the rest of the world, especially over the EU emissions trading scheme (ETS). This was the clear message underpinning the opening general session of EBACE 2012 yesterday, when a panel of EU regulators joined Fabio Gamba, CEO of the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), and Ed Bolen, president of the U.S. National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), to discuss the key issues the industry is grappling with.
On the surface it would appear that that the European Commission (EC) had some sympathy for the sector. "We tried to find ways to create a more flexible, simplified procedure whereby small emitters are not required to monitor emissions on a flight-by-flight basis," said European Commission air transport director Matthew Baldwin.
However, he went on to say that all operators could do now was to "turn to Eurocontrol," claiming that political support in Europe for ETS remained strong–despite the fact that the U.S., Russia, China and India are fronting a growing phalanx of resistance to the imposition of the scheme on non-European operators.
Baldwin also urged operators caught out by the complicated scheme to put pressure on ICAO to establish a global sectoral agreement based on market-based measures for emissions mitigation. But he acknowledged that such an agreement could take a long time.
EBAA's Gamba asked the regulators, "Why are so many important pieces of legislation failing to consider the specifications of business aviation?" He pointed out that the €20 billion (U.S. $25.8 billion) European corporate aviation sector provides more than 164,000 jobs and asserted, "We expect compassion from legislators. ETS is the fault of national aviation authorities who have failed [to consider] our interests."
NBAA's Bolen was also critical of the scheme. "ETS is a major issue for U.S. companies operating into Europe," he said. "Our treatment is not equitable. A commercial operator can make two flights a day every day before it finds itself in the ETS scheme. Noncommercial operators making one single flight have to go through a huge administration burden. Registration costs thousands of dollars. This doesn't make sense. We should not be targeted for one flight."
But Baldwin was unsympathetic, saying, "Even if the European Commission were minded to back down, it would be hard to see support in other European institutions for changing the legislation." However, he added that there is "flexibility" to amend the controversial scheme in the event of a global ICAO deal.
Salvatore Sciacchitano, executive secretary of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC, which is the European arm of ICAO) put the onus back onto the industry to stand up for itself. He explained that one of the reasons politicians may have such little sympathy for the corporate aviation market is that they do not understand it. He said that although associations are toiling hard "to dispel the perception that business aviation is simply the playground for a privileged elite, it is not one that you have entirely escaped, however unfair that might be."

Arias for All
Opera never truly belonged to the people until the Italians began religiously dedicating it to the masses a century ago. In Rome, it's not unusual to see almost nothing but families basking in the cool, autumn air and the melodies of Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte, surrounded by the ancient baths of Caracalla and oblivious to kids throwing popcorn and smooching couples who never come up for air. But Houstonians rarely indulge in opera as wholesomely as they do an Astros game. So it was a little surprising to see such a family-oriented community of opera lovers, with children as young as three, turn out for an exceptional concert of popular arias by Houston Ebony Opera Guild at the Riverside United Methodist Church last Sunday afternoon. A serious, high-minded musical event? Yes -- but at the same time, it was a relaxing social occasion where friends, who definitely outnumbered strangers, had plenty of moments to gossip and catch up with each other when the performers were off-stage.
Making her Houston debut, featured guest soprano Geraldine McMillian nearly stopped the show as the love-torn slave Aida, who sings a heartfelt plea for God's pity in Giuseppe Verdi's aria "Ritorna Vincitor." A regular with the New York City opera, McMillian was stunning as the young girl who is torn between loyalty to her mistress, love for an Egyptian captain and love for her country. When the crowd stopped clapping, every soloist still to come was in danger of being overshadowed. Since the Guild's repertoire is so varied, no singer was disappointing. As a matter of fact, for a choral group that's not a household word in this city, these folks are amazingly good.
Soprano Melissa Givens and mezzo-soprano Marsha Carol Thompson were the first to follow McMillian, with an impressive rendition of Leo Delibes's well-known duet "Viens, Mallika ... Dome Epais" from Lakme. In the aria, Lakme, daughter of a Brahmin priest, and Mallika, her slave, sing about their friendship as they break through the bamboo fence that surrounds the temple. The only disappointment about this number was the lack of an encore. And the duet was especially delightful because it was Thompson's second solo. Her first came earlier in the program, a version of Georges Bizet's "Habanera." This is a number recognizable to anyone -- most likely from radio or TV scores, certainly not from dozens of sittings through Carmen. Thompson, in a solid performance, definitely returned the aria to the stage, where it belongs, looking wonderfully flirtatious as the long-haired gypsy.
Robert Hughes, one of two tenor soloists in the company, managed to build upon the frenzy of delight created by Givens and Thompson in their Lakme duet. He played an outstanding Nemorino, the country bumpkin from Gaetano Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore, overcome after realizing the wealthy Adina he so cherishes actually returns his love. Although it's hard to tell who are the real actors in the Guild until you see a full-blown operatic performance, Hughes revealed a stage presence that's likely to take him far. LaTonia Moore, Guild apprentice and student at the University of North Texas, followed the tenor with an exciting impersonation of the radiant Louise singing Gustave Charpentier's "Depuis le Jour" from the opera Louise. Moore sounds like a professional. The Guild definitely expects great things from her. At the age of 19, she's hardly a novice and is probably one of the company's strongest sopranos.

Complementing Moore was another featured solo, by guest artist Randall Gregoire. Gregoire, a bass baritone, was a masterly Germont reminding his son in "Di Provenza il Mar" of the beauties of their home in Provence as he begs him to return to it. This performance, from Verdi's La Traviata, concluded the entire show of solo arias, ending what guest soprano McMillian had started during the program's second half. Gregoire comes to the Guild as a seasoned player of Germont, having played the same role earlier this year with the Lake George opera.
The concert also featured unusual arias by the Ebony Opera Guild chorus. It was unfortunate that much of the audience's view of the female chorus was partially obstructed by the pastor's lectern. This proved to be the biggest drawback of the church as performance hall. Even without catching sight of the sopranos' faces, you could still feel the magic and musical range of this group. After a moving "Bell Chorus" from Ruggiero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, the chorus suddenly transformed -- my, oh my, did they ever -- capturing in body and soul the spiritual rhythms of "Mary and Bob Are Friends," by African-American composer William Grant Still, from his Highway One, USA. (There's no doubt, if this choir sang at my funeral, everyone there would forget why they came.) The chorus also chimed in during the company's grand finale, in which seven of the soloists sang a deeply moving piece from Jacques Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman. In this song, Hoffman despairs that his heart has been deceived again.
There's no question that the inspiration for this staggering finale, which brought a long standing ovation, was company conductor and artistic consultant Willie Anthony Waters, who serves during the better part of the year as music director of the Connecticut Opera. Waters is as close to an artistic director as the company has had since its founder and artistic director, Robert A. Henry, died two years ago. Until the company can find a resident music director, Waters serves as opera director during the few weeks out of the year that the company stages opera performances.
Waters explained that the Guild was founded by Henry as a choral group in 1989, but his great love for opera caused him to begin steering his company toward operatic performances five years ago. Since then, the troupe has performed several full-scale operas and sees itself as a place where budding classical singers can develop their craft. "We have a lot of local singers who do solo work," Waters said. "I like to put them in front of audiences. I'm developing them, to build them up professionally." He also plans to expand the company beyond Houston by bringing in more outside vocalists like McMillian and Gregoire. Currently, the Guild is grooming three apprentices in their twenties, all of whom sang in Sunday afternoon's concert.
Local Guild members are also committed to fostering a love for classical music and opera in local schoolchildren. For many in the chorus, the Guild is a second career. April Sloan Hubert, who sang the popular "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca, by Giacomo Puccini, wants her Woodson Middle School music students to love Puccini as much as she does. "It's like pulling teeth at first. You have to start them off with a story to get them interested. Once they understand the story, they start to like it," Hubert says. When she can get them to come watch her, she makes it a point to take them backstage to meet the whole cast.
Right now, the Guild relies heavily on volunteers to make the community aware of its programs. Advisory board member Ellena Stone Huckaby is pleased that the Guild regularly attracts audiences as ethnically diverse as the one that turned out last Sunday. "We're trying to raise community awareness of the talent in this group as well as the contribution of African-Americans to a variety of music genres -- not only jazz, but opera, spirituals, rhythm and blues and even the controversial rap," Huckaby says. Apparently, the board has been successful in spreading the word. Two Guild fans, pointing out the diversity of the crowd, said you could count the number of whites in the audience on one hand, five years ago.
Unequipped to perform a full season of opera, the Guild plans to take a fall break after finishing its summer opera program and before its regular choral season next February. Next week it presents Puccini's Suor Angelica and William Grant Still's Highway One, USA in a double bill at Miller Outdoor Theatre.
Houston Ebony Opera Guild will perform Suor Angelica and Highway One, USA at 8:30 p.m. on August 28 and 29, at Miller Outdoor Theatre, 100 Concert Drive, Hermann Park. For more information, call the theater at 284-8352.

FLASH FRIDAY: Nicole Scherzinger Sings & Zings
Controversy is never too far offstage in any Simon Cowell production - manufactured, actual or otherwise - and the debut season of the US edition of his international smash reality singing competition THE X FACTOR on Fox has been overloaded with drama, meltdowns, breakdowns and buckets of tears. Stars have been made and dreams have been broken - par for the course, as always, on a singing show like this. Yet, no one on the show, whether judge or participant - no, not even Paula Abdul, Rachel Crow or the flasher himself - has been met with the irate hate and all-around ire of fans and critics alike quite like new judge Nicole Scherzinger. Sure, Simon cajoles her and criticizes her too much - to much winning effect - amping up the competition amongst the four judges, as is his wont - and, really, that's the whole hook of the show, anyway. The ex-Pussycat Dolls front-woman (remember "Don't Cha"?), Scherzinger has had middling success in her solo career post-Pussycats in the US, yet she has racked up #1 hits overseas, and, had her last album not been plagued with stateside release issues, perhaps there would be a larger audience more aware of her repertoire and irreproachable talent here on these shores. Alas, many are meeting her for the first time in her new role as an X FACTOR judge - responsible for the most difficult category, no less; the Over 30s - and perhaps that is not the best light to make first impressions under. No matter what her judging abilities are, the girl can clearly sing - and sing well - which is more than can be said of many in similar roles on other singing-centered shows (or even this one). In addition to that, she has shown a remarkable stage presence - particularly in her essaying of the role of Maureen (made famous in the original Broadway cast by WICKED Tony Award winner Idina Menzel) in RENT at the Hollywood Bowl, directed by Neil Patrick Harris - and, even more recently, has displayed her legit side with her stunning performance of the title song from Andrew Lloyd Webber's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA - alongside four famous Phantoms - at the Royal Variety Performance last week for the queen. Just last night, Scherzinger took center stage on the X FACTOR's results show to sing her surprisingly strong new single, "Pretty" - an episode which also saw the final remaining contestant under her tutelage remaining in the competition, Josh Krajcik, survive another week and make it into the Top 4 - and proceeded to positively set the night alight. Haters can hate, but Scherzinger undoubtedly proved any naysayers wrong insofar as her fierce talent and reason for appearing on the show as a judge is concerned - no question. Post-Pussycat Dolls, Scherzinger seems to be flying high - lest we forget: she also won DANCING WITH THE STARS early last year - and the stages of New York and London seem a perfect place for her to show off her considerable triple-threat abilities in the future, whether near or far. Plus, if she can make it in show business with that last name, you have to at the very least appreciate her striving for authenticity at all times - like it or not. Scherzinger not only sings like an angel, she looks like one, too. She is the whole package and definitely possesses the X factor - and maybe a Y and Z, too.
Angel Of Music
Kicking off our Scherzinger solo spotlight countdown, check out her thrilling aforementioned high Es and all-around excellent performance pedigree in this quintet version of the eponymous "The Phantom Of The Opera", alongside four Phantoms more than merely well-known to phans around the world - simon bowman, Earl Carpenter, John Owen-Jones and the titular star of the simply spectacular PHANTOM 25, Ramin Karimloo. Wow - times five!
Next, watch Nicole Scherzinger milk "Over The Moon" for all of its bizarre, riff-tastic worth in this clip from the opening night of last Summer's RENT at the Hollywood Bowl. While no one will ever be able to top Idina Menzel, but Scherzinger sure gives it her own fun, funny and all-around fantastic spin, as you'll be forced to agree.
Now, take a look and listen to Scherzinger and feature film Joanne, Tracie Thoms, take on the titanic diva duet "Take Me Or Leave Me" and reap the uproarious results of the Jonathan Larson show-stopping standout.
With her most recent live performance to date - singing her first single from her forthcoming US album - here is Nicole Scherzinger singing "Pretty" on last night's X FACTOR. In addition to the theatrical styling of the rock-heavy pop/dance anthem, Scherzinger commands the eye and ear with her on-point vocalisme and studied, controlled melisma. What a production, to boot! The total package deal.
Also, be sure to see Nicole's solo spot at last week's 2011 Royal Variety Performance, singing her new UK single, the emotional pop ballad "Try With Me".
Opera to theatre to rock to dance to pop and beyond - and an X FACTOR judge and DANCING WITH THE STARS winner, as well - Nicole Scherzinger is a phenomenally talented performer whose place on the entertainment landscape seems destined to burn bright like a light in the night long after her association with THE X FACTOR, DANCING WITH THE STARS and reality TV has been extinguished. As always, Simon made the right decision - making her a judge and not a host. She's a winner in whatever she does - all the way from her singing onstage to her zinging of Simon on the judge's panel. Let's hope we see much more of her on our shores in the future - and, hopefully, someday, on Broadway and West End stages.

Help: Unit conversion
Please help this old lady to convert from ng/dL to ng/mL
For instance, my sample contains testosterone as much as 300 ng/dL. If the unit is changed for ng/mL, how much it will be?
Or simply, could you tell me please 1 ng/dL = ... ng/mL or 1 ng/mL = ... ng/dL whatever
This problem occured when I have to compare two methods of hormone measurement. Using RIA method, the unit is ng/ml, which the maximum calibrator contains testosterone 1,600 ng/dl. While for ELISA method, the maximum testosterone can be detected is 18 ng/mL.
I should know which method I should apply for my research. Thank you
Dear, Doc........(Fit), Hope You are Fit and Fine too.
So ELISA detects 18ng/mL i.e. 1800ng/dL
and RIA detects 16ng/ml i.e 1600ng/dL
So ELISA is Best suited...
Nowadays you are so busy.... That you appear rare to me...

I have no idea with ELISA yet. But after browsing here and there, the 96-wells kit costs US$300 or more. However, it seems that I just need one step to read the result: ELISA reader can read all 96 wells at one time. Much cheaper than US$2 x 100 x 2 I think but I have to make sure about this and hey I need 2 kits too aww
I think I can't sleep tonite
Thank you....I m ready to serve for you......
Ok. If you are using 100 tubes including 4 control then 2 kits will be required for 2 sets.
so.... US$200x2=US$400......... gamma count US$200x2=US$400...
so total 400+400=US$800.
800 US Dollar(s) = 7194239 Indonesian Rupiah(s)
If you do not include 4 control in 100 tubes then 1 extra kit will be required for that; and cost will be more and depend upon wheather you have to buy full 100 tube kit or small kit is available...
So in ELISA your cost comes to US$600 for 2 sets and add ELISA reader cost if aplicable... so if reader is not going to cost any more then you can go for ELISA as cost is lower than RIA.

Bitter Truth!
Who says reason for world war III will be Petrol?
Reason lies in two words "Me and Mine".
Unfortunately, the control doesn't include in the kit package I have to buy it separately and the package contains minimum 100 tubes though I just need 4 tubes
*pull out her hairs*
BTW, thank you for all your help, Sach
Then you ve to spend
US$1000 for RIA
and US$800 for ELISA
I Like that "Sach"......

Siamese Heritage Protection Program
To Commemorate the 84th Royal Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej Patron of The Siam Society Under Royal Patronage
To commemorate the 84th Royal Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the Patron of the Siam Society and protector of fine arts and cultural heritage of Thailand, the Council of the Society approved the establishment of a new program, Siamese Heritage Protection Program, or โครงการพิทักษ์มรดกสยาม in Thai. Through a series of public events, associated lectures, tours, and media opinion pieces, the Program will highlight issues and problems in the management of the cultural heritage of Thailand, both tangible and intangible, with the aim of contributing to heritage conservation, generating ideas on how heritage management can be improved, and raising the visibility of cultural heritage management as a national issue of general public interest.
A strong public interest in proper management of Thailand's cultural heritage assets exists, but no professionally competent organizations representing that public interest monitor how the government and other stakeholders discharge their heritage stewardship responsibilities. Regrettably, Thailand's cultural heritage often faces threats from neglect, lack of funding, commercial encroachment, and poor management. Through this Program, the Siam Society aims to fill that gap and stimulate public interest in and discussion of cultural heritage management.
1. On behalf of the general public, develop the capacity for the Society to monitor how the government and other stakeholders fulfil their responsibilities as stewards of the nation's cultural heritage, and for the Society to become known as an independent repository of knowledge and expertise in heritage management and preservation.
2. Provide a forum for the major cultural heritage stakeholders to explain how they are fulfilling their stewardship, and for the public to be informed of and to comment on policies and plans for cultural heritage preservation.
3. Identify and publicize threats to the proper conservation of the nation's cultural heritage, and take appropriate action or protest to counter or mitigate those threats.
In the first phase, the Program will feature six half-day public events, conducted on the premises of the Society at two--months intervals. Each event will be in the form of a panel discussion in Thai language, discussing a major issue in Thai cultural heritage management. The panellists will be chosen from among stakeholders with an interest in the topic to be discussed, representing government, NGO, academia, and international organizations, including members of the Siam Society. Panellists will espouse different points of view on the often controversial issues. Each event will generally be accompanied by one or more related tours or lectures, in both English and Thai languages.

Bag Refill Recommendations
The best way to manage dog waste is to install a cost-effective dog waste system and encourage dog owners to be responsible. It has been proven that providing dog owners with dog waste bags dispensers can improve compliance by at least 150%.
How many do I order?
The need can vary widely depending on how many dog frequent the area you are trying to keep clean. Here are some guidelines to get your started:
For Apartment Communities: Open areas and parks are man's best friend's favorite place. Start by installing one pet waste station every 160 yards within the area. If the area is visited by a large volume of dogs a good way to estimate your need is to place a pet waste station for every 50 dogs that drop by. (So if you expect about 100 dogs to visit the area you need two stations). Don't forget – placing stations throughout your property is crucial; make it easy for residents to clean up after their pets. Putting stations near the mailboxes, pool, and parking spaces are all good areas. Everyone loves their dog, but no one loves dog poop.
For residential areas: Condos, mobile home communities, Home Owner Associations (HOA) and more. Place one pet waste station for every 55 homes or units. Keep in mind if the residential homes/ units are really spread out, you may need a pet waste station for every 35-40 homes/ units.
Remember: At first be sure to monitor the usage, and place additional pet waste stations if the cans are filling up or the dispensers are running out of bags more than once a week.

Racism or Islamophobia: it's all damn prejudice!
05 January 2012 - Julia Davidson
The 1999 Macpherson Report into the death of the British teenager Steven Lawrence has become synonymous with institutional racism by government employees, recently opined Sadiq Khan. He should know because he was the MP who was bugged by the police while talking to one of his Tooting constituents who was being held behind bars without charge or trial in 2005/6. (A later enquiry in 2008 by the Chief Surveillance Commissioner Rose found no impropriety by the police.)
In 2012 there are two glaring examples of the sadistic brutality of UK government forces reigned against Londoners detained without charge. The two men in question are in some ways mirror images of one another.
One detainee is a 38 year old man interned in this country without trial for over 7 years who was granted compensation for his treatment at the hands of the Metropolitan Police Force. On 18 March 2009, he was awarded £60,000 compensation at the High Court in London after the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson admitted that he had been the victim of a 'serious, gratuitous and prolonged attack.'
The other detainee is a 43 year old man facing internment without trial for nearly 10 years in the US's Guantánamo Bay. He is understood to be one of a group of British-based detainees, including Moazzam Begg who have received a compensation settlement from the UK government.
The two iconic detainees in question have two important similarities aside from both coming from London and still being behind bars without charge or trial:
- Both have received compensation because of their mistreatment at the hands of the British State. (So in a sense, the government has recognised that these two men have suffered from part and parcel of the same issue, whatever name you give it: Institutional Racism or Islamophobia.)
- Both are Muslim.
The two iconic men still detained without charge or trial are Babar Ahmad @ HMP Long Lartin, England and Shaker Aamer @ Camp Delta, Guantánamo Bay.
The verdict of the European Court of Human Rights on the validity of extraditing Babar to the US is still eagerly awaited. The Court declared his application is partially admissible and awaits further observations from the UK government on Supermax confinement and life without parole sentence. A final decision was expected early in 2011. As Doreen Lawrence said recently "Justice delayed is justice denied".
The recent incredible support for the Babar Ahmad parliamentary e-petition (over 140,000 signatures), suggests it is more likely than ever before that the British public will no longer tolerate these wrongful indefinite incarcerations without charge or trial. Indeed Shaker has been cleared for release from Guantanámo since 2009.
Britain's Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary must rebut the US's ridiculous assertion that the UK is not a safe place for former detainees!
The US government needs to take only minimal steps to save US/UK taxpayers the considerable and unnecessary expenses of the future incarceration of two icons of injustice and prejudice:
- To drop their extradition request for the Babar Ahmad
- To release Shaker Aamer latter from Guantanámo and return him to the UK.

text: UK 3 May 2010 Mandelson begins to spin his way out of defeat The Business Secretary suggests making Cameron PM would be a kind of victory for New Labour. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Regardless of the outcome of this election, Peter Mandelson is already trying to spin his way out of defeat. Here's what the silver-tongued First Secretary recently told the NS editor, Jason Cowley: The point about the Conservatives is that they believe they cannot win an election by running against New Labour. They are for the political landscape that we have created. The whole point of Cameron's Conservatives is to market his party in a way that leads people to believe they've put their past behind them, that they're a continuum of New Labour. They are not, as it happens. But the fact that they feel they can only win power by marketing themselves in that way says a lot about the strength of New Labour. You'll be able to read more from Mandelson in Jason's interview with Gordon Brown for this week's magazine (out tomorrow). As he writes, it does seem like an attempt by Mandelson "to claim a kind of victory even in defeat". He speaks with the pride of a teacher whose textbook (The Blair Revolution Revisited) has been eagerly devoured, even if not all of the lessons have been learned. Yet key figures on Labour's centre left, such as Jon Cruddas, argue that the similarities between Cameron's Conservatives and New Labour represent a defeat, not a victory for the party. It is because Labour has been insufficiently bold that the Tories have succeeded in masquerading as progressive, even while pledging to cut taxes for millionaires. We can expect this division, between those who feel flattered and those who feel enraged by Cameron's rise, to be at the centre of any future Labour leadership contest.

The "terror gap": do terrorists have a right to buy guns?
While it may seem like common sense to prohibit anyone who is on a terrorist watch list from purchasing a firearm, surprisingly there are no laws to keep suspected terrorists from buying guns. Dating back to the first volley of anti-terror laws after 9/11, gun rights advocates argued fiercely, and successfully, that any move to restrict gun sales to suspected terrorists would ultimately infringe on 2nd amendment rights. A new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report out today disclosed that from February 2004 through February 2010, individuals on the terrorist watchlist were involved in firearm or explosives background checks 1,228 times. Of those, 91% were allowed to proceed because there were no legally disqualifying factors. The suspect in the attempted Times Square bombing, a resident of the terrorist watchlist, bought himself a gun a few weeks before he drove an explosives-laden SUV into New York City—should the "terror gap" be closed?

Maili Beach - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT
Panorama taken from Maili Beach, on the west coast of Oahu. The picture, taken on a spring afternoon, shows a white sand beach lined with palm trees. To the south is ancient lava ridge, and to the north more hills provide a dramatic coastline.
Maili Beach - FURTHER INFORMATION
Maili Beach - Oahu visitor guide showing a virtual tour of 'Maili Beach' linked to an interactive map with local and travel information. 360° panoramas from Hawaii.
Maili Beach forms the shoreline of Ma'ili on the west coast of Oahu island in Hawaii. This is a fine white sandy beach that is associated with Ma'ili Beach Park. Just to the south is Maipalaoa Beach. This beach is popular with surfers who frequent the Green Lanterns surf site at the mouth of Ma'ili'ili Stream at the northern end of the beach, and Tumbleland which is near the center of the park.
Maili, a contraction of Mai'ili'ili, is named after 'lots of small stones', for which the Hawaiian is 'ili'il. These small stones have been rounded by weathering and can be found along the shoreline. In past times they may have been used as fishing weights, game pieces and musical instruments.
The next beach north along the Wailanae Coast is Lualualei Beach Park near Wai'anea.
Ma'ili is on the 93, about 5 miles north of Nanakuli and 10miles north of the end of the H1.

The Hernando Dixie Debs, coached by Paul Sinwelski, emerged as the state champions for the second consecutive season, but after making the trip to Louisiana for last weekend's Dixie World Series, their run of success ended.
Made up of mostly local high school softball players, the Debs (16-18) had been dominant at the state level, but in three games of the double-elimination tournament in Alexandria, La., there just wasn't enough magic. In the opener Saturday, the host team, the Alexandria Nationals, squeezed out a 7-6 victory over Hernando despite a two-run homer off the bat of Destinee Mormando.
In the second game, there was a solid comeback bid from the team. On Sunday, the Debs took out the Mississippi state champions 7-3. Shay Sanders, who was strong both defensively at third base and with the bat, went 2-for-3 in that game.
The third final game took place Monday. Alabama edged out the Debs and concluded the team's run with a 4-3 loss. Mary Ellen Langley started the game and gave a strong pitching effort in tandem with Stephanie Sinwelski. Langley, in her final season in Dixie, went 2-for-3 with a homer at the plate.
"These girls played a great tournament, but for the most part, we just couldn't break through offensively," said coach Sinwelski. "I am proud of how we played despite losing two close games."

WS2003 Service Pack 1 brings with it all sorts of goodies. I'll try and mention many of the AD ones over the next few weeks, but one I can't help but mention sooner rather than later is access based enumeration.
Rather than digging in to the feature, let's instead start with a scenario.
Assume you have some server, and on that folder you have a share named 'Users'. In the Users folder is a subfolder for each user that uses this particular server. Each user's folder is ACL'd such that no one can get in to it but the user in question. From a security perspective, this is pretty safe.
That said, some customers wanted more. They wanted to be able to actually prevent one user from seeing another user's folder. This way, you wouldn't even know what other users had a folder on the given server. Enter access based enumeration.
From an implementation perspective, what access based enumeration does is pretty simple: when a user enumerates the parent folder (as the case may be, \\MyServer\Users) it will do an extra check for each subfolder before returning that folder to the user. Before access based enumeration, we would see if you had the appropriate perms on the Users folder, and if so return all contents. With access based enumeration enabled, we further check each folder in the share, to ensure you have the required perms on that folder itself, and only for those folders that you have permissions to do we return the folder in the list.
Simple, yet we didn't do it in the past. We'll, you have it now. 🙂
That said, there are a few things to keep in mind here.
First, it is independent of the client. This is entirely server-side. This is nice, as who knows what OS / SP your client is running. So don't worry, it's just a server side service pack you need to apply.
Second, there is a performance hit here. Perhaps not huge, but some. We used to have to check one ACL (the parent folder, aka the \Users share) before returning the list. Now we have to actually walk each subfolder as well, and check those ACLs too. Probably not terrible, but it is worth keeping in mind, especially on heavily loaded servers where you plan to do this on some folder with many thousands of folders in a given parent folder. One thing that helps from a performance perspective, though, is that once we talk the list once, you do have the file system cache to help you.
Third, this is unfortunately not manageable from the UI. There are tools around that let you set this special ACL, but the object picker UI (object picker is the name of the ACL UI you see when you decide to set an ACL on a folder) itself won't let you do this. Perhaps one day. 🙂
That's all on that. While written about here and there, I thought I'd raise further awareness as to the presence of this new feature. It's a good one.
Update (4/19/05) - We have a tool that controls ABE on the web: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=04A563D9-78D9-4342-A485-B030AC442084&displaylang=en
