FAIRFAX, Va., Jan. 4, 2008 – "A non-stop carnival of rhythm." (Los Angeles Times) For more than 35 years, Perú Negro has been preserving Peru's rich African heritage. Today, they are the standard bearers of black music in Peru. In their energetic performances, festive and celebratory dances are interwoven with vibrant live music in order to recreate the folkloric history of their ancestors. Perú Negro performs at George Mason University's Center for the Arts on Saturday, February 2 at 8 p.m. A pre-performance discussion, free to ticketholders, begins 45 minutes prior to the performance on the Center's Grand Tier III. This tour of Perú Negro is made possible by a grant from Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program.
Founded by Ronaldo Campos de la Colina in 1969, Perú Negro seeks to preserve and revitalize the cultural traditions of music and dance of the blacks that first came to Peru as slaves in the 18th century. The ensemble's distinctive sound is in part a result of their unusual percussion instruments – a wooden crate, a tithing box and a donkey jaw. Historically, these were substitutes for the drums that had been banned by Spanish colonizers. The music is rounded out by melodic guitar and passionate voices, providing the perfect accompaniment for the rhythmic and passionate dancing in perfect syncopation with the percussion. "A fascinating look at a living tradition in the throes of social and cultural transformation, with artistry as rich and colorfully diverse as the history it reflects," writes The Boston Globe.
Perú Negro is currently led by Campos' son Ronny Campos, who has expanded the ensemble from 12 family members to thirty members and has made Perú Negro a presence on the international stage. The Lima-based music and dance ensemble has performed all over the world and has been named "Ambassadors of Peruvian Culture" by the Peruvian Government. Perú Negro also runs its own school and a junior troupe called Perú Negrito. They have released several albums, including "Sangre de un Don" ("Heritage of a Gentleman"), dedicated to founder Campos, who passed away in 2001; and the Latin Grammy Award-nominated "Joglorio."
This tour of Perú Negro is made possible by a grant from Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program.

It's been more than a decade since the McKendree Methodist Men's group, of McKendree United Methodist Church, united with Lincoln County Schools to meet the needs of area children.
"The problems will absolutely blow your mind," Country School Project leader Bill Keever said of the issues plaguing students.
The Lincoln County project started in 2000 after Keever overheard a female teacher at church describe the current needs of school children.
"I kept hearing her talk about needy children," he said.
Keever later discussed the topic with a friend doing a similar Gaston County project called the Little Red Schoolhouse.
Through the Country School Project, a number of needs are covered, including cost of glasses and dental and psychiatric visits, but more frequently, payment of medical co-pays and medications for families who have yet to sign up for insurance or are waiting to be approved.
In addition, the men have also paid for surgical procedures and are always willing to provide for other type needs. Keever noted how they recently provided clothing for an area high school student who was kicked out of her father's house and forced to live with her grandparents where she had no belongings.
Keever said a majority of students needing aid are ones who've fallen through the cracks of Lincoln County's Department of Social Services, which according to head school nurse, Rhonda Gehring, is also overwhelmed with children who are needing assistance.
"The need is great," she said. "We are seeing more and more kids fall through the cracks and families struggling. Even to get help, you have to jump through so many hoops."
Gehring and other school nurses determine which students are most in need before sending the names to Keever and fellow project leader Don Ormsby. "You've got to have someone screen…to see if it's legitimate," Keever said.
Gehring noted that they use the Country School Project as a "last resort" once all other options have been "exhausted."
"He'll say, 'Get the child what they need,'" she said of Keever. "He's great to fill in the gaps. We could not serve a lot students that we serve without him."
During the project's initial year, the men's group decided to start out working with only one school, Union Elementary School in Vale. Keever said after talking with the school's nurse about his ideas for the project, he handed her a brochure, and just hours later, she contacted him.
"She said she had a need that night," he said.
Although the Lincoln County effort has yet to grow as large in size as its neighboring county's project, Keever said through the years they've aided around 350 children and spent nearly $20,000 in funds donated by area churches and residents along with local businesses.
"The Lord's blessed us," Keever said. "The money's been right there when we needed it … People have supported us faithfully."
Although he and other project workers never actually get to meet the children being helped, they do consistently receive thank you notes and words of praise from parents. He said more than anything he's glad to know "the kids are getting taken care of."
He especially gives credit to the school nurses. "Nurses are the key to all this," he noted. "They are critical to the program."
On the other hand, Gehring called Keever "a saint."
"Their goal is to show the love of Christ through meeting physical needs," she said.
Keever said the Country School Project has been the McKendree Methodist Men's most successful undertaking.
To donate to the project, individuals can contact Bill Keever by phone at (704) 735-8530 or by email at email@example.com or call Don Ormsby at (704) 748-9041.
Donations can also be mailed to Keever at 1108 Walker Branch Rd., Lincolnton 28092.

Michelle Deane
As a college student, dance changed Michelle Deane's life. Now, as coordinator of the college's dance program, she hopes dance will change the lives of her students.
"I have loved dance my whole life," says Professor Deane. "But being a dance major in college was life changing. I was learning the craft of dance. Not just steps but the history, the choreographic terms and practices, and the science foundations behind dance."
Professor Deane earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from UMass Amherst and a Master of Education degree from Cambridge College. She has been teaching dance for more than 15 years – the last five at NECC.
"I always wanted to teach dance at the college level and it was my first choice after having danced for so many years in Boston," the 33-year-old says.
She particularly enjoys teaching dance composition and dance pedagogy.
"I enjoy teaching the craft of choreography and introducing students to new ways of putting movement together."
In dance pedagogy her students learn dance teaching practices as well as injury prevention by studying the muscles and bones of the human body from a dance perspective.
Every day this high-spirited mother of two mixes pop culture with classical dance and dance history to educate and engage her dance students.
"I am excited about putting dances together and to have my students experience that process with me in what I choreograph and with their own choreography as well," she says. "I love to share the history of where some movement comes from. Many students do not realize how deep and rich our dance history is."
NECC dance students benefit from being taught by a dance performer. Professor Deane currently dances for a modern dance-based company – "Six one Seven Dance Collective," in Boston.

Turkey\'s Top Court Modifies Law on Banning Political Parties
Turkey's top court modified a law on outlawing political parties on Tuesday, strengthening its hand in the case calling for the ban of the pro-Islamic Virtue Party for anti-secular activities.
Deputy constitutional court chairman Hasim Kilic said the court scrapped an article in the political parties law which outlined strict conditions under which parties could be banned, declaring it unconstitutional.
The move means that the court, the only authority allowed to ban parties under the constitution, will now consider only general constitutional provisions on the issue.
Judges began debating Tuesday whether to ban the Virtue Party.
Kilic said the judges would reconvene Wednesday to decide whether to publish in the official gazette the reasoning behind their abolition of the provision -- a move that will lead to a short break in the case against Virtue.
The final verdict is crucial for the government of Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit because banning Virtue and removing all of its 103 MPs from office -- as the prosecution demands -- would drag the country into a broad by-election or even general polls.
Elections would mean further trouble for the government at a time when it is battling a severe financial crisis and is striving to introduce drastic reforms for European Union membership.
Virtue could evade the ban thanks to a package of constitutional amendments submitted to parliament on Monday by the ruling parties.
The proposals envisage tougher conditions for banning political parties and stipulate that the constitutional court should only take up ban cases after a decision in Turkey's lower courts.
Virtue deputy chairman Lutfi Esengun told AFP they did not expect the court to announce its final verdict until January, leaving enough time for parliament to pass the changes. There is no deadline for the verdict.
"The only outcome we expect is the rejection of the case. Anything else will be a surprise," Esengun said, stressing that the evidence in the case was already insufficient to outlaw the party.
The government's drive for amendments was a bid to avert Virtue's closure, and therefore the prospect of elections, Esengun said.
European observers stress that banning Virtue would also anger the EU as a blemish on Turkey's pledges to improve human rights, particularly freedom of expression, on its road to EU membership.
Virtue's hopes had already been boosted by a preliminary evaluation of the case by a constitutional court rapporteur, who reportedly expressed an opinion against outlawing the party.
Virtue stands accused of anti-secular activities, namely exploiting religious beliefs, inciting protests against a ban on head scarves in universities, and orchestrating a failed bid by one of its MPs last year to take an oath in parliament wearing a head scarf.
The case was launched in May 1999 by chief prosecutor Vural Savas, who pushed successfully for a ban on its predecessor, the Welfare Party, in January 1998.
Savas also claims that Virtue is an illegal party, as all its members were former Welfare MPs and it is being run behind the scenes by banned Welfare leader Necmettin Erbakan. Turkish law forbids the revival of banned parties under a different name.
Besides outlawing Virtue, Savas is seeking to bar its leadership from politics for five years and remove all of its deputies from office.
If the court bans Virtue and removes some 20 MPs, by-elections would have to be held for the vacant seats in the 550-member parliament.
If all 103 MPs are stripped of their seats, a broad by-election will be held, and the government could even resort to holding a general election.
Outlawing Welfare in 1998, the constitutional court also slapped a five-year political ban on Erbakan and his close aides.
The ban followed Erbakan's resignation in June 1997 as a result of a harsh anti-Islamist campaign led by the military, a staunch defender of secularism in predominantly Muslim Turkey -- ANKARA (AFP)

Loyd's New Year - A Trio of Problem Systemsby Loyd Case on January 13, 2010 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Systems
I should have known better. I'd read enough online posts to know that the in-place upgrade from XP to Vista can be problematic, particularly if your XP system registry has grown to huge proportions. My own personal experience with a Vista upgrade had been moderately successful, but even that system was eventually nuked and a clean Vista install performed.
So here was a PC, with lots of fairly useless (from my perspective), but fun (from her perspective) background tasks running under XP. In goes the Vista upgrade.
Did I mention that this system had 2GB of system RAM?
Within two weeks, her system had pretty much become unusable. I scanned it with several malware detectors, and other than complaints about a couple of adware items, there were no Trojans or viruses found. So the problem really came down to an already overloaded Windows XP system that had developed massive registry and hard drive bloat after the Vista in-place upgrade. So I decided to nuke and start over.
One of the cardinal rules of troubleshooting is: change only one variable at a time.
Unfortunately in my hubris, I ignored that rule. I put her system on the bench, swapped out 2GB of Kingston DDR3 RAM for a pair of Corsair 2GB DDR3 modules. I then swapped out the QX6850 for an E8500 3.16GHz dual core CPU.
When I powered the system up, I got no POST, but the fans spun up. Also, the PC beeper didn't beep. This is, as anyone who has built systems will tell you, one of the most ambiguous and frustrating types of errors.
So I popped her old CPU back in and rebooted.
Same thing.
So I put the old memory back in, and the system POSTed properly. I checked her BIOS on the P5Q3 motherboard, and found out it was still running the 0704 BIOS. That BIOS predated Intel's 45nm CPUs. On top of that, if you read the summaries of the various BIOS updates, you also see a number of them with text that reads "enchances compatibility with certain memory."
Lessons (re)learned:
- Before upgrading CPUs or memory, check the BIOS version
- Never change more than one item of hardware at a time without testing it.

andrewbuchanan - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkI agree, as have a few others here, that kingston value ram is the only way to go. I've been building computers for 15 years or more I would certainly rank your problems as memory first, motherboard second, power supply third, with most everything else in the unlikely category.
I know kingston value ram isn't exciting, doesn't have amazing timing, etc etc, but nothing sucks more than an unstable computer. At the end of the day overclocking your video card and cpu are more important anyways. I've had so many problems with other brands of memory I'm honestly afraid to even try them anymore. It's not fun, at all, to spend days of memtests in the bios tweaking voltages and timings to get a stable system.
As for motherboards, I still normally buy asus and they work out for me ok. I try to avoid latest anything anymore though, somebody else can report all the bugs and issues and fill the forumns, I'm not interested in being that person. That's true for new video card architectures, new versions of windows (except 7 which is basically vista with fixes), now android phones - you name it. Unless you really need it, you'll probably be happier to wait 6 months for the bugs to get worked out and do something fun with your weekends instead. Reply
ScavengerLX - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkFun article as always. Thank Loyd Reply
gaiden2k7 - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkdaughter's pc was a waste of hardware IMO(haha) something with a low-end ATI 4000 card can probably pull off on Torchlight (great game btw, looks like WoW, sounds like D1, plays like D2, & feels like D3) I'm in agreement with someone earlier who suggested pre-image her system or just simply replace the hdd (they are so dang cheap!)
if it comes to hardware problem almost more often than not, it's the incompatibility of the DRAM and the MOBO, makes me wonder why, after all these years, this issue still exists, or it maybe a marketing scheme (if so then it sucks!)
I have had several ASUS boards, they sure are lookers fancy heat sinks and all color schemes, but none of them ever 'whoa' me, the my best ASUS board was the P5Q3 with Q9300/4850 512mb/8gb. but overall Gigabyte gave me the best experience. had 2 mATX and personally using the EP45-UD3P with Q9550/4gb RAM/2x 4870 1gb CF/Windows 7 Pro, works great.
My #1 investment rule is not to be brave with my money - given that I am no millionaire. Always research extensively and compare proven hardware before throwing bones at it. The effort usually pays back in terms of money save from spending less as well as less time spent on troubleshooting.
my 2 cents Reply
Drag0nFire - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkHi Loyd,
I feel your pain, and have experienced problems similar to the ones you described. The issue of the computer that gradually slows over time can be just as frustrating as the computer that just won't POST.
However, I hope I may be able to shed some light on one of your problems. I believe the memory modules you used in the second system were older DDR3 modules designed to run at 1.8V. Since Lynnfield runs memory at a maximum of 1.65V, it is no surprise to me that the memory didn't run in a stable fashion. The changes in voltage levels may help explain some of the confusion you referred to in the changing market for DDR3 memory.
--Jonathan Reply
lifeblood - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkActually, the PC that slows down over time is more frustrating. Not posting is easier as the OS and Apps are off the list of possible culprits. With a slowing computer it can be anything (although its usually bloat and malware).
BTW, I hit Report Post rather than Reply by mistake. Moderators please ignore. Reply
cyclo - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkI find that RAM incompatibilities become even more pronounced when all slots are populated. One thing I could seem to trust to work though are the Kingston Value RAM series. Never had problems using these sticks on 975, P45, P55 motherboards. Reply
yyrkoon - Thursday, January 14, 2010 - linkYou can not always go by manufacturer of the DRAM its self. You should always research what type of CMOS chip is on a stick of RAM, and then see if it is compatible with the given motherboard. Also, RAM density can play a factor with some boards as well.
As for specific name brands themselves. I have found ADATA to be fairly reliable. Yes, I know, the "cheap name brand" misnomer threw me off too at first, but have found their sticks to work well in most cases. I would venture to guess it has to do with packaging, and the sticks inability to be easily "zapped" by static electricity. Although, my favored all time brand is Crucial.
In the end though, you, or we will inevitably run into a bad stick of RAM if you build enough systems. What matters here, is how well the company deals with your request for an RMA. when this happens, this is where, and why I prefer Crucial. I have not had many bad sticks from this brand, but when I did have, it was a pleasure to deal with them. Corsair on the other hand, got very defensive, and all but forced me to deal with the eTailer that I originally bought from. Newegg, and they were nearly as bad to deal with. They had no problem replacing the modules, but did not want to pay return shipping. Unacceptable . . . In the end, I got what was right( which after dealing with them the way they made things go down, I asked for a complete refund ), but they have since changed their policies on returning items. So now, I try to avoid such situations by dealing with people who understand that people who pay your bills should be treated fairly, and with respect. Which is the way I was brought up to believe how you treat people you do business with.
killerclick - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - link1. don't use high end components for casual-gaming-and-web-surfing teenage-girl computers
2. always do a clean install of an operating system
I recently upgraded my girlfriend's computer TO Athlon II X2 240, 2G of DDR2 and 4670 and for general use it's as fast as anything - you can't tell the difference between that and an i7 + 5870 when you're web surfing and playing casual games, Left 4 Dead, World of Warcraft, etc. Oonce I installed everything I made a disk image so if it starts to bloat, I just save her Documents folder and roll over with the disk image.

Shadowmaster625 - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkSpend ungodly amounts of money for marginal performance. Why on earth anyone would spend hundreds of dollars on motherboards and memory just to have problems like these is beyond me. Isnt it much simpler to go to newegg and order the components with the most reviews and the highest ratings? I've never had any problems doing it that way. But then again I dont spend thousands on computer parts just to eek out an additional 10% performance that I'll never even notice. Anyone who has bought anything to do with DDR3 has wasted their money. Reply

- Greenlight Capital Reinsurance (GLRE)
Our firm owns Greenlight Capital Reinsurance (GLRE) and we have owned it since September 2009. We were pleased that Greenlight not only generated a solid profit of $1.75 per share, we were especially pleased that its net written premiums grew by 45% in Q1 2012 versus Q1 2011. READ MORE
mREITS: American Capital Agency Corp. (AGNC), Capital Mortgage Investment (MTGE),

- We are currently invested in CYS Investments (CYS) and we previously held a position in American Capital Agency (AGNC). In an attempt to avoid the nearly 7% estimated market price premium relative to estimated forward book value for AGNC, we will reevaluate the industry-leading mREIT titan Annaly Capital Management (NLY), Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) and CreXus Investment Corporation (CXS).

Burger King Worldwide (BKW)
We are unimpressed with Burger King Worldwide (BKW) as an investment. Burger KING? Not from where we're standing! More like Burger Dethroned! Wendy's (WEN) now generates more revenue than BKW. BKW is selling off 278 of its corporate-owned restaurants to Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc (TAST).

A confusing tale to be sure: A couple moves from Colorado to Eastport Harbor, Maine and buys a house that the combination sheriff/real estate agent tells them is haunted by a ghost. Trouble begins when the husband's behavior becomes erratic and the wife is confused by events that begin happening, as well as problems related to business matters left behind in Colorado. The story eventually shifts back to Colorado.

Interesting story, but plot was not developed very well.

I agree with the above comments and would also add that the female voice in the story quickly becomes annoying on the ear.

Me and my husband are currently in Mexico at the start of our trip through central and South America. We are considering buying a car or van/mobile home to take us on the journey. Does anyone have any experience of buying a vehicle in Mexico, and, or travelling through any of these Latin American countries? We are already aware that roads can be tough on a car and it doesn't seem as though there are many camping places. Any information or advice would be appreciated on paperwork, any make of car that's easier to maintain/sell, running costs, crossing borders, safety etc.
We are undecided about whether to go this route or will public transport enable us to see as many things. I know using buses etc means you meet more people which a lot of the time is what the journey is about. Help!

IHS unveils new personal health record (PHR) system
- Patient health records (PHRs) are coming soon to patients in the Indian Health System (IHS), according to a new system of records notice (SORN) in appearing Oct. 29 on the Federal Registrar. Beginning Dec. 13, 2012, IHS patients will have web access to a portion of their personal medical information contained in the IHS Medical, Health, and Billing Records system. "The IHS PHR system will contain administrative records needed to manage patients' web access; initially, patients will be granted access to view and print portions of their official IHS electronic health record (EHR) via the Internet," states the IHS notice.
Originally, use the IHS PHR will be limited to the patients themselves. Similarly, the viewable record represents only a portion of the personal medical medication, not the complete record living in the IHS Medical, Health, and Billing Records system. In fact, the IHS PHR comprises a separate IHS Privacy Act system per previous rulemaking (SORN 09-17-0001-IHS).
However, IHS is currently developing future enhancements to the system expanding both access and usability beyond simply view information:
Future IHS PHR functionality will include providing tools to the patients which they can use to: Improve their own health and increase their knowledge about health conditions; increase communication with their care providers (i.e., secure electronic messaging with their IHS health care providers); request on-line prescription refills and view upcoming appointments; and enter their own medical information in a "self-entered" health information section through a secure and private health space.
With other future system enhancements, patients will have the opportunity upon request to integrate their IHS PHR with their official electronic health record by storing their information in separate database capable of being linked with the EHR.
Additionally, IHS PHR patient users will eventually have the right to elect a representative who can access their personal health information. Until then, IHS patients can make use of the IHS PHR print functionality to share this information with relevant family and representatives per existing IHS clinical practices.
In order to preserve the security and integrity of its Medical, Health and Billing Records system, IHS clearly defines the relationships between the former and the IHS PHR. "The IHS Medical, Health and Billing Records system is the authoritative source of patients' IHS medical records," the notice explains. "Once patients print copies of their medical records using the IHS PHR system, the copies will no longer be maintained subject to or protected by the Privacy Act or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule." In this way, IHS ensures that it is not liable for lost copies of patient records. Coupled with the apportioned view of the EHR, the federal agency is maintaining a strong barrier in the way of unauthorized access to the genuine EHR article.
Per the Privacy Act, IHS is required to publish a SORN that includes details about the system. The following details are revealed about the IHS PHR:
• The PHS Administrative Records-IHS will be stored at local IHS facilities and the IHS National Data Centers.
• The system will contain record system usage information and personally identifiable information (PII), including registration information (e.g., full name, IHS PHR user identifier, date of birth, email address, telephone numbers, mother's maiden name, ZIP code, and place and date of registration for IHS PHR.
• Records may be retrieved using an individual's name, user ID, date of registration for IHS PHR electronic services, ZIP code, the IHS assigned MRN, date of birth and/or social security number, if provided.
The information about the routine uses of records, storage, and retrievability as well as a complete list of technical, physical, and administrative safeguards are available through the Federal Register.
The deadline for comments on the SORN is Dec. 13, 2012, and can be submitted by mail or online.

50 Cent, Oprah talk faith, love, painting toe nails & 50's dog named Oprah [Video]
New York, NY – Who'd of thunk it? 50 Cent on Oprah?
Starting in and around 2006, 50 Cent criticized Oprah for having an apparent "rapper ban" on her cable show. Accounts from Ice Cube and Ludacris about being snubbed by the show seemed to solidify his point. They both spoke out, with Luda feeling singled out and disappointed with the way the show's editing portrayed him. While Ice Cube complained about not being invited to the show at all.
Ice Cube said, "I've been involved in three projects pitched to her [Oprah Winfrey], but I've never been asked to participate on her show. Maybe she's got a problem with hip-hop. … She's had damn rapists, child molesters, and lying authors on her show. And if I'm not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?"
50 went on to rationalize this ban by saying Oprah's audience is middle aged white women and she must have a problem with hip hop. 50 publicly drew a line in the sand with these comments and took it one step further on his mixtape song "Play This On The Radio." 50 raps:
"I don't wanna sip tea or chit chat on your sofa/bitch I aint Jay-Z, fuck you Oprah/Suck dick deep throat and gag, now I'm mad/You don't like hip-hop? Then we don't like your ass." – 50 Cent
Watch the video and listen to the track after the jump
50 went on to name his dog Oprah and his cat Gayle and started taking pictures with Oprah, adding threatening/comedic captions for his Twitter followers.
50 Cent – Play This On The Radio
Download MP3 (PC Users: Right-click and select "Save Target/Link As…")
Throughout all this Oprah stayed pretty quiet aside from a 2006 radio show when she said "I listen to some hip-hop. You know, I've been accused of not liking hip-hop, and that's just not true. I got a little 50 [Cent] on my iPod. I really do."
Of late, 50 seemed to be laying off the Big O as he established his Street King energy drink and set out with a goal of feeding 1 billion people in Africa. Newly branded under the philanthropist umbrella, 50's reach has grown even broader. And now, welcome to 2012 where 50 Cent is actually on Oprah.
Tags: 50 Cent, Ice Cube, Ludacris, Oprah Winfrey
Sick of people kissing Oprah's feet like she's the end all of opinions. Who cares if Oprah doesn't like you…not like you're gonna be spending her money anytime soon anyways right?

World AIDS Day project
Hey all,
I'm doing an installation at the new LGBT Center on Halsted here in Chicago for World AIDS Day, Dec. 1. I'm looking for images (preferably snapshots) of people who have passed away from HIV/AIDS for inclusion in a large-scale memorial work. If you have a photo of a friend or loved one lost to HIV/AIDS, or if you know someone who does, please get in touch. Feel free to forward this message as well. Thanks,
Cole Robertson

Snow frustrations grow with latest batch of winter weather
CENTREVILLE, Va. (WJLA) - For six out of the past seven weeks, people across the region have had to deal with snow, ice, or extreme cold. Many say they're fed up with Old Man Winter.
Laveta Mckinney would like to be able to walk to and from her bus without her umbrella and snow boots. Jaimar Staples is also feeling a little winter weather weary. He say's the non-stop snow is just inconvenient.
Winter's grip on the region has also kept Matt Knolle and his crew busy. He says Wednesday is the fifth time they've had to scrape and shovel his forty acre apartment complex.
"This year's been a little worse," said Knolle. "But it is more of an inconvenience for the residents."
Many brushed off their cars Wednesday morning, trying to think warm thoughts and knowing there's still about a month of winter left.
Meanwhile in Waldorf, with the heavy snow falling and roads wet and gridlocked, perhaps Pamela Rhodes best describes our collective reaction: "Ugggh!"
"Ugggh" is right, as the timing of today's dusting made for extremely long commutes.
"The roads are really disgusting -- people are trying to get to work and school at the same time and it's created a logjam," said Cory Maiorana.
"It's bumper-to-bumper all the way. Miserable," added Andrew Nahum.
School districts had decisions to make, and all but Garrett County decided not to delay or close for the day. In Montgomery County, this touched off a slew of Twitter complaints with photos of mishaps like a car on its side on Georgia Avenue, and this slow speed pile-up near Churchill High School in Potomac.
A school spokesman says a delay would have done no good, and it just wasn't bad enough to close. And though you can see that none of the snow stuck to the pavement, but as Doug Hill predicted, there were in fact one to three inches of snow.
Earlier on in the winter, we asked people their thoughts on the weather. With the snow falling, they said it was so pretty and that they liked the snow.
But nbody is saying that now.
"I'm done with it. It's cold. It's not fun to work in. It's not fun to drive in or deal with," said Waldorf resident William Frasher.

BBC Review
Ultimately it's as forgettable and naïve as a legion of X-Factor hopefuls
Lou Thomas 2009
Tiny Masters of Today are immediately handicapped by their age. Not that there's anything wrong with being in a Brooklyn band in your early teens, it's just hard for sibling duo Ivan and Ada (born in 1994 and 1996 respectively) to expect anything but huge jealousy from critics and public alike. At an age when most kids are bored and frustrated with acne and homework, TMoT are releasing their second album.
For the most part Skeletons doesn't flaunt its producers' immaturity and is a scuzzy, lo-fi mess of hisses, scrapes, distortion and industrial beats and occasional Go! Team vocals.
Two Dead Soldiers is typical of the whole album in both quality (average) and sound (cheaply soiled) with its askew Pixies riff, schoolyard cheering and nursery rhyme lyrics.
Big Stick is a far more interesting concoction of scratching, atonal Public Enemy noise and dub atmospherics.
The title track is perhaps the most commercial song present, all sickly vocal from Ada and broken-amp guitar abuse. A perfect theme tune for Skins, should the cult teen sex 'n' drugs show be remade in the US.
Pop Chart is another album highlight, insofar as it sounds like Cornershop's Brimful Of Asha, crossed with beats last heard on an old Wiseguys bigbeat track and a laughable lyric. ''It's all about the money/so rich it isn't funny''.
Naomi Klein won't be caused sleepless nights by such analytical rigour, but hey, the band are younger than her even with a combined age.
Skeletons has trash moments of fun, fizzy punk and packs a certain visceral punch but ultimately is as forgettable and naïve as the legion of X-Factor hopefuls who never make it past the audition stage.

Significance of Mothers day Cake
The birthday cake is the very first thing and the foremost that draws everyone attention while planning for a birthday bash and it is the core of the party. Being a birthday party with out a large and delicious cake is incomplete. And, especially for the children, who love having cake.
The foundation of cakes
The cause of cakes takes us time for the medieval Germany when sweets were baked for the child's birthday within tradition known as "kinderfest". Moreover, during the same period, the English started creating cakes using unique items.
They are of two kinds the first is the vegetarian cake and the other you are the non-vegetarian cake Moreover, in the present time, there exists a complete array of cakes available for sale to select from, dependant on about the ingredient being used. Every person has its own option for their birthday cake. For example, children love tasty chocolate or vanilla cake which has a unique and colorful design. For youths, they go for a cake that appears good and taste well.
Birthday cake allows your guest to hang around prior to the serving from the food since they eagerly wait for a birthday cake cutting ceremony. And also this helps make the environment on the party more exciting and joyful. However, while a choosing the flavor of the birthday cake take care and be sure how the flavor must suit all palates along with the guests.
Nowadays, cakes are not only round as well as simple; one can choose from different shapes and sizes. So when you decide on a unique cake, it will become a matter of talk between guests. Which bakes an excellent heart for the party.
The birthday and the birthday candles
Mothers day cake minus the birthday candles is incomplete in addition to being we get older the number of candles decreases, and also one candle becomes sufficient. Based on the old tradition, one should blow out each of the candles at once to generate whatever you the desires into the future true also to have best of luck during the coming year.
A great deal switches into making the perfect birthday cake. Thus, if you're not good at driving them to, it's best to order from your reputed bakery house. Which is rather easy to determine the right baker with the aid of people feedback or reviews given on the web. Almost all of the bakery shops offer free home delivery option or get it through the bakery shop, if you live nearby.

Ancestors At Rest Graveyard Rabbit
Blog type: Cemetery blog
I have been seriously researching my ancestors for about 20 years or so. I have made some wonderful discoveries and now also have even more questions that they have set me! And I have lost count at the number of brick walls I am waiting to knock through with different lines on both sides of my family.
And as mentioned on my first post here, I have always had an interest in graveyards, churchyards, cemeteries, call them what you will and their monuments and headstones and history etc..
This blog is about graveyards I am particularly interested in mainly because some of my ancestors rest in them, but it will also include details of other graves, monuments, headstones etc., for that place which I hope will be helpful, interesting and useful for others reading this blog.
If anything I write here is useful to you or you can help by suggesting possible other avenues for me to follow, I would love to hear from you and of course, if any of the family names I am researching or detailing on this blog are yours too, please let me know. Check out the Contact Page for details.
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this, I hope there is something that could be of interest to you.

This first post, though, is just to get my feet wet. Yesterday I heard Luckie Daniels talk about genealogical blogging during our AAHGS Metro Atlanta Chapter meeting. This morning I decided to dive in and set one up. I was pretty surprised to learn that I already had two accounts with Google Blogger. I set one up in 2007 and one in 2009 but never actually set up a blog. In my confusion I used the name I wanted for my blog on one account and set up to follow several blogs on the other account. I cannot find a way to delete one or the other so my plan is to use this blog and this account for everything.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2013 – Following the success of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) "BIG Color" holiday campaign in 2012, the league announced today the continuation of the BIG holiday tradition by unveiling a new "BIG Logo" platform tied to the marquee Christmas Day matchups. As part of the holiday campaign, adidas
will unveil new uniforms featuring team logos that all 10 teams will wear on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
The campaign will include a TV spot titled "Jingle Hoops" to promote the jerseys featuring six players: the Miami Heat's LeBron James, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant, the Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose, the Houston Rockets' James Harden, the Los Angeles Lakers' Steve Nash and the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry. On the heels of last year's award-winning "BIG Color" campaign that garnered more than eight million YouTube views, the featured players recreate the wintertime classic "One-horse Open Sleigh" through a series of choreographed three-point shots – all while dressed in their "BIG Logo" uniforms.
"Last season's 'BIG Color' holiday campaign was an overwhelming success that grabbed fans' attention, and we wanted to find a way to top it," said Jamie Gallo, NBA Executive Vice President, Marketing. "This season, we're back with the game's biggest stars to deliver an engaging and festive sequence that creatively showcases our players' skills."
Beginning today, "Jingle Hoops" will be live on the league's digital platforms and will air across the league's national broadcast partners ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV, as well as its regional sports networks. In an effort to reach basketball fans around the world, the NBA will also air international versions of the spot in key regions including China, Europe, Mexico, Brazil, Africa, and the Middle East.
Highlighted in the spot are the new "BIG Logo" uniforms that feature team logos in reflective chrome as the focal point on the short-sleeve jerseys. To complete the uniforms, the jerseys are paired with an ultra-lightweight short with chrome piping.
"We worked closely with Adidas to create an innovative new uniform design for our Christmas Day games," said Sal LaRocca, NBA Executive Vice President, Global Merchandising. "The BIG Logo collection will provide a unique look oncourt and a variety of products for our fans."

Sometimes I add cooking wine to the water that the rice cooks in…. otherwise I really don't need to change a thing. --Note-- This Chicken makes an Outstanding Chicken Salad for sandwiches the next day. Simply mix the left over chicken and stuffing with mayonnaise. It is hard to get the chicken salad onto the bread without eating it all before hand!"

At the tensioner pulley, there will either be a bolt or more likely a square hole to place ratchet in. Rotate it counterclockwise. The bolt you are loosening is most likely the bolt that holds tensioner to engine.
I believe it is an 1/2" ratchet. You may have to use a breaker bar to get leverage if the tensioner has good tension on it.
Here is a close up of tensioner:

Arrest Revives Memories of a Violent Era
By TIMOTHY WILLIAMS and ANN FARMER; Al Baker contributed reporting.
Published: January 29, 2007
On Aug. 29, 1971, two armed men, members of the Black Liberation Army, walked into a San Francisco police station.
The first man fired a shotgun through a hole in a glass partition, killing Sgt. John V. Young and wounding a civilian. The second man tried to ignite a stick of dynamite with his cigarette lighter and tossed it toward the officers.
The dynamite never exploded, but the man left his lighter behind. Recently, the authorities in San Francisco said they had traced the fingerprints on the lighter to a portly, gray-haired Queens man named Francisco Torres.
The police say that Mr. Torres, 58, a father of two who is married to a civilian employee of the New York Police Department, was the second man during the 1971 assault on the station house. He was arrested on Tuesday.
On 145th Street in Jamaica, where Mr. Torres has lived in a two-story red brick row house for several years, people knew him as an unassuming man who liked to tend his garden -- not as a suspect in the killing of a police officer or a member of a radical group that preached violence.
''Oh my God,'' said Michael Brown, a retired house painter who lives across the street from Mr. Torres. ''I'm surprised. I'm very surprised. Thirty-five years ago he killed a policeman? And they're looking for him all these years?''
But if neighbors were familiar with a genial side of Mr. Torres, the authorities described another side. In 1971, he and Gabriel Torres-Rivera, his brother, were accused of the murders of two New York police officers, Waverly Jones and Joseph Piagentini, who were ambushed by members of the Black Liberation Army at a Harlem housing project.
Their first trial ended in a hung jury, and their retrial ended when the judge threw out the charges against them because of insufficient evidence. Later, Mr. Torres served time in prison for a bank robbery.
In the California case, Mr. Torres has been charged with murder and murder conspiracy. He was one of seven men arrested last Tuesday in connection with the raid on the station house. An eighth man was held on charges related to other Black Liberation Army activities.
Thirty-five years later, the arrests have revived memories. In the early 1970s, New York City was a cauldron of racial tension. Addicts lined up to buy heroin from street dealers, and finding dead bodies on doorsteps in the morning was not unusual in many neighborhoods.
Ten officers were killed in 1970, 15 more in 1971. In 2006, no New York City police officers were killed while on duty.
''I was in uniformed patrol at that time, and I remember the anxiety that everyone felt in going out to do their job,'' Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said in an interview. ''It was an era of direct confrontations with the police and attempts to assassinate them and such. Kind of a reign of terror.''
There were some buildings that officers never entered unless they had heavily armed backup, police officers who were on the force at the time said in recent interviews.
In 1969, in East Harlem, residents blocked streets for several weeks with bags of uncollected garbage and set fire to abandoned cars to protest poor service by the city's Sanitation Department.
The civil rights movement and the Vietnam War had unleashed frustration among many black Americans angry about poverty, racism and instances of what they considered police brutality. The Black Liberation Army broke off from the Black Panthers in the late 1960s and became a more radical offshoot.
Its message of black empowerment through armed struggle prompted Mr. Torres and Mr. Torres-Rivera, who had moved with their parents from Puerto Rico to a housing project in East Harlem, to join.
The brothers had been involved with the Young Lords, a radical Puerto Rican group that had close ties to the Panthers. In a 2004 interview with The New York Times for a profile related to his later efforts to register new voters, Mr. Torres-Rivera said he had joined the Black Panthers, and later the Black Liberation Army, because the Young Lords had been too gentle.
The brothers served several years in prison in the 1970s for an armed bank robbery meant to help finance the group. A search of records did not yield more precise information about their convictions or whether Francisco Torres had other arrests. Although the brothers were cleared of the murders of Officer Jones and Officer Piagentini, who were killed in Harlem three months before the raid on the San Francisco police station, two other members of the Black Liberation Army were convicted and remain in prison for the killings.
On Tuesday, Mr. Torres was led into police headquarters in Lower Manhattan in handcuffs and shackles. He called the charges against him in the killing of Sergeant Young in San Francisco ''a frame-up.'' Police officials declined to comment on the specifics of Mr. Torres's case.
According to law enforcement agencies, police officers were a primary target of the Black Liberation Army. The group has been blamed for killing at least 13 officers in the United States, including two police officers and a Brink's employee during an armored car robbery in 1981 near Nyack, N.Y. The subsequent arrests ended the group's activities.
Robert Bloom, a lawyer in California who has previously represented members of the Black Panthers and the Black Liberation Army including Mr. Torres, sought to justify the existence of such groups.
''Why was he a member of the Black Panthers?'' Mr. Bloom said, referring to Mr. Torres. ''Because cops were killing people, as they still are. They were torturing people.''
Mr. Torres-Rivera and Mr. Torres's wife, Carolyn Torres, 58, a civilian supervisor in the Police Department's traffic enforcement division, refused requests for interviews.
Friends said Mr. Torres is a Vietnam War veteran who has not held a steady job for years because he has respiratory problems related to Agent Orange exposure. He receives disability payments from the federal government and supplements his income by working as a Spanish translator for various lawyers, they said.
Elizabeth Fink, another lawyer who knows Mr. Torres and has represented members of the Black Liberation Army, said prosecuting Mr. Torres after so many years was unfair. ''It was a different period, a time of rebellion,'' she said. ''These people should be left alone.''
Those who live on Mr. Torres's block tend to agree.
They described him as a generally reserved man who had once coached youth baseball. He shoveled snow for neighbors in the winter and planted impatiens in his garden in the spring. He helped an elderly neighbor take garbage cans to the curb.
''I cannot judge him from something that happened so long ago,'' said a neighbor who agreed to an interview on the condition that she not be identified. ''To me, he's a really nice person.''
But Priscilla Levine, 53, a retired clerical supervisor for the city's parole department who lives a couple of doors down from Mr. Torres, said he should be held accountable for his actions, no matter how long ago.
''He led a good life after that,'' Ms. Levine said. ''But it catches up with you. It always catches up with you. They were fighting for justice. But they went a little too far. And if you've killed somebody, you've got to pay.''

Breezer Storm Expert 27.5" Mountain Bike - 2016Breezer knows a thing or two about great design, performance and value. The Breezer Storm Expert is one of the best spec'ed and best performing hardtails out there today--whether alloy or carbon. It's loaded up with a great fork, drivetrain and components so that every ride feels like a gift.
While mountain bikes come in all shapes in sizes today, there's something about the simplicity and grandeur of the hardtail mountain bike. 27.5" mountain bikes are said to be the perfect size for mid-height riders and for good reason. With an improved angle of attack, a 27.5" wheel will roll over faster and easier than a 26-inch wheel. The larger the wheel, the smaller the obstacle relative to the wheel. Sounds easy enough and when you encounter a log or a rock, you quickly learn that this is true. Also, the 27.5" wheel offers improved agility. It's easy to get off the ground and get some air, and it's easier to maneuver through winding and tight singletrack lined with precarious branches. Plus, the 27.5" wheel size yields a lower center of gravity for more stability byway of the relative position of the bottom bracket to the wheel axle. Your body will feel more comfortable and centered as a result. The Storm Comp is designed with D'Fusion hydroformed aluminum frame tubes, which add vital support against trail impact and improves handling. which can decrease pedaling performance and increase muscle fatigue. The RockShox XC 30 27.5" fork has a remote lockout for climbing or increasing pedaling efficiency and 100mm of travel. The frame and fork are equipped with powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and a set of massive 180/160mm rotors.
The Storm Comp has a competition-level, lightweight and ultra-smooth Shimano XT/Deore 3x10 drivetrain. The intelligent Shadow Design on the XT rear derailleur keeps it free from snagging trail debris. Deore 30-speed shifters effortlessly click and push the chain up and down the forgiving 11/36 Shimano cassette. 30 speeds means there's a gear for nearly every grade or condition. Finding the perfect gear means you'll stay moving forward and in control.
Light and fast Shimano M4050 27.5" wheels and premium WTB Bee Line 2.2" width tires offer dependable traction on fire roads or city streets. Finally, a 15mm rise cross country handlebar with a gentle 9 degree sweep keep your body forward for improved frontend control.

I'm so glad to read of so many other breast reduction sisters out there. So here's my dilema... When they first upwrapped me, I felt so small! Thought I was a B or a C, which is fine. I went to VS today, turns out I'm a D! Now I'm feeling huge all over again. I was a G! Anyone else have this?

Director: Yoichi Higashi
Language: Japanese (subtitled in English)
"E no Naka no Boku no Mura (Village of Dreams)" is now available in Japan as an English-subbed DVD. Based on the memoirs of identical-twin painters, this 1996 film depicts their early postwar childhoods with realism, including the bullying by village children who resent their talent, overlain with nostalgia for simpler times lived amid natural beauty — and occasional intrusions of the supernatural. Among the film's many prizes was a Silver Bear at Berlin.

Updated Post With Designer's View Of Situation And Photos: Rausch Creek Opening Delayed Until 2002
© 2017, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.
(This original, copyrighted material may not be copied, cut and pasted, published or otherwise reproduced in any way in any medium, which means, don't post this on another website or BBS. If you want somebody else to see this, send, share or tweet a link or post a link to this page.)
From a press release issued by Rausch Creek Motorsports Park:

"Rausch Creek Motorsports Park will not be open in 2001 for spectator events.

"To avoid further confusing announcements about the opening of the road course, the management at Rausch Creek has decided to cancel the remainder of this year's events.

"Originally slated to open in May of this year, Rausch Creek has experienced a variety of events that factor into the decision to postpone what was to be the inaugural year. Our original construction schedule had us paving the
road course in the fall of 2000. Serious safety issues had to be addressed prior to the commitment of a final design, and those issues prevented us from paving at that time. Then, with the long winter, we realized we would be very hard pressed to meet the date for our May opening. A variety of smaller delays, including smaller design changes and machinery breakdown, have also contributed to the postponement of our inaugural year.

"Andrew Stutzman, General Manager, had this to say, 'We found ourselves pressured by the original dates we had set to open, and felt as if we may be making small compromises just to get the track open. The last thing we want to do is compromise anything, let alone the safety and longevity of Rausch Creek, so we decided to back off from such ambitious goals, and allow ourselves the time to complete the project so that it exceeds our expectations, instead of just meeting them.'

"Quinn Lickman, Construction Manager for Rausch Creek, added, 'We are maintaining close to the same pace (construction) we have all along, only slowing down to make sure all the small details are completed. We honestly just underestimated the amount of material we had to move to build the track. The actual time it will take to pave the track is relatively short compared to the time needed to complete the construction of the verges and safety zones. In addition, we must be very careful how we address the drainage issues for the track. It is important that we find the perfect balance between providing more than adequate run-off, and draining the water away from the track properly. While the racers and spectators will enjoy the elevation that Rausch Creek has to offer, it does increase construction difficulties.'

"The construction is still proceeding and we are looking forward to having the surface paved by late summer. This will allow us to host some practice days and official testing that are required to hold larger, future events in 2002."

In response to the above release issued by Rausch Creek, track designer Alan Wilson of Wilson Motorsport Inc. sent this letter:

"You have received a press release from Rausch Creek Motor Sports Park concerning the delay of racing activities until the start of the 2002 race season.

"The reason for my letter is to address the statement that part of the delay was due to 'serious safety concerns'.

"This is not true.

"Delays to this project were many, although the biggest problem was not in the time taken to build the facility but in unrealistic expectations as to when it would be completed. In fact, the time taken to design and construct is very much in line with that required for any of the other facilities in which I have been involved. (Typically 18 months from start of the design process).

"In this case, inexperience on the part of the track management has lead them to suggest that safety problems, among others caused the delay. Their reason for this was well intended in that they chose to use 'safety' as a reason so as to ensure their customers that the track was being built to the highest possible safety standards and that attention to this resulted in the delay. (They obviously hoped this would reduce some of the inevitable criticism that may result from the cancellation of events in 2001.)

"Unfortunately, in their inexperience they did not realize that any reference to safety concerns could, and most probably would be taken by many to suggest that Rausch Creek may have safety issues when in operation.

"This is very definitely not the case.

"As you may be aware, I have designed several tracks used extensively for motorcycle events, including GingerMan, Carolina Motorsports Park, Pikes Peak and Las Vegas, and I am very proud of the safety record that each of these facilities have been able to maintain. I have also designed the new Alabama circuit which has already received high praise from FIM Safety officials for its safety features. Consequently I am extremely concerned that Rausch Creek could be tarnished before it even opens by any suggestion that it may have safety issues.

"In designing a track I always require that the minimum safety zone alongside the edge of the track be at least 100 feet, with more required as necessary by high speed approaches, fast corners or downhill braking zones. I also require that all safety zones have grades similar to the cross and longitudinal grades of the track in order to eliminate downhill runoff areas that contribute to loss of control. (In fact, the Alabama track is probably the first in the world where all run-offs meet this criteria). I have also specified that all my new tracks incorporate emergency access roads along the outer edges of the safety zones so that no ambulance or emergency vehicle need ever run on the track surface or in the verge close to the asphalt.

"It is these three elements which added complexity to the construction of Rausch Creek. This track has many different grade changes, each of which has necessitated particular attention to cut and fill, grading and drainage to ensure that my standards are met. Rausch Creek management have been extremely cooperative in undertaking the work required, much of which was not recognized when the project was first begun (and when track rental commitments were first made).

"This project has grown far beyond its initial scope and promises to become one of the most challenging, enjoyable, and I hope, best motorcycle road racing courses in the country. I can assure you that it will be as safe as we can possibly make it and that it will serve as an example to other facilities of how to incorporate safety and the racing needs of motorcycles into a difficult, challenging and interesting terrain.

"I have included a disc with a number of photographs taken during my most recent visit to Rausch Creek (June 12). This will show the current state of construction which is far more advanced than it may look, especially when compared to some of the original terrain (I have included some early pictures for comparison). I will gladly discuss these pictures with you to help you get a better understanding of the layout, the construction challenges that have had to be faced and our expectations of how it will look when complete.

"Finally, I would like to congratulate you on the efforts you have made with regard to the Air Fence program. Although I try to design my tracks so that Air Fence is not necessary, I recognize the vital role it can play and applaud your efforts. I was however disappointed to note in the current edition of Roadracing World that some tracks have proved less than co-operative in installing Air Fence (at least without direct AMA involvement) on the grounds of liability. In my opinion this is not a valid reason for failing to install a proven system. I would be interested in learning which tracks have not co-operated as I may be able to help in persuading any with whom I may also work in my role as Safety Consultant to the SCCA and through my very close relationship with the major insurance companies.

"I hope that you will understand my concerns that the safety elements of the design of Rausch Creek are not an issue and that integrating the basic safety standards that I have designed (and will continue to detail) into the project is an ongoing and normal part of the design/construction program.

"I would be happy to discuss this matter and any other safety issue related to track design or safety system installation with you, at your convenience.

"Sincerely

"Alan Wilson, President"
