We offer a range of historical and contemporary sources on the Arts & Crafts Movement as well as an active forum, bookstore, and marketplace.
Charles and Henry Greene
In 1916, Charles Greene moved his family from Pasadena to Carmel. This seemingly innocuous event marked the unofficial dissolution of one of the most noteworthy architectural firms in early 20th century America. Many other firms have enjoyed more acclaim, longer tenure and greater numbers of commissions but few have left such a distinct imprint on residential architecture in this country.

AV Separates
Wireless Music Systems
AV Receivers
Hi-Fi Components
Reference Series
The MM7055 power amplifier produces 140 watts of high current output from each of its five channels. This is "real world" power, too, measured across the full audio bandwidth (20 Hz – 20 kHz) at 8 ohms with 0.08% Total Harmonic Distortion. Among other attributes, this means the MM7055 is capable of long-term power delivery into low impedance speakers.
The Many Faces of Excellence
In practical terms, the MM7055 is ideal for a "5.1" home theater system, whether based on a moderately powered receiver or a surround sound processor. You can use it to power speakers in different areas of your home; stereo reproduction in two rooms plus a mono channel for secondary areas such as a den or kitchen. For more complex home theater systems, the MM7055 pairs with one or several MM7025s to help create a totally immersive "7.1" or "9.1" audio experience.
Inside The MM7055
A massive power supply includes a multiple-secondary EI-core transformer and over 65,000 µF of custom-designed energy storage capacity. Critical circuit components from many world-class suppliers were chosen only after extensive listening tests. Among these, the LAPT Hyper Power output devices were first used in Reference Series components. Current feedback topology insures astounding accuracy and control under high-drive conditions.
A Temperature-Controlled Environment
Physically, the MM7055's output stages mount on an extruded aluminum "thermal tunnel" for efficient heat dissipation. With temperature-sensing forced air cooling, this configuration assures cool operating temperatures for long-term reliability, even when making full use of the amplifier's substantial output capabilities.
Flexible Connections
Balanced inputs and single-ended RCA inputs are both supported, and you can choose either type of input for each channel, individually, for easy and flexible connectivity. Audiophile grade, gold-plated four-way binding post speaker terminals insure tight connections to your choice of speaker wire.
Custom Touches
The MM7055 includes input and output jacks for DC "trigger" pulses as well as RC-5 jacks for total remote control convenience, even with legacy Marantz products.
The chassis itself is heavy gauge steel for maximum isolation from external vibration as well as electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. And chassis depth is less than 14½" so the MM7055 will fit quite nicely on a shelf, in a cabinet, or in a conventional system rack with the optional rack mount kit RMK8003MM.
Power. Functionality. Dependability. And classic looks. The MM7055 is, simply speaking, a Marantz.

A recent reviewer said, "I bought the Marantz MM7055 and the AV7701 as my first foray into separates after only having had receivers in the past. This was intended to be an upgrade from my 16 year old Pioneer Elite 5 channel VSX09TX which was 100 watts/channel X 5 channels. I was really hoping the separate power Amp at 140 watts would provide more power to really push my PSB 8 ohm bookshelf speakers. However I found little discernible difference in power from the Marantz Amp to my old pioneer Elite receiver. In fact the Marantz seemed to provide less power until I went into the settings and boosted the front channels to the max setting. With boosting the levels that the combo is acceptable but far below what I expected. I could get the same performance with a receiver and walk away spending $900 less. I was really looking for power and the Amp just doesn't deliver to expectations. Maybe I expected too much at this price. Actually the combo is not bad and the AV 7701 is an EXCELLENT pre-amp. Set up was a breeze, it converts digital internet music beautifully, everything sounds clear and clean and it's fairly easy and intuitive to figure it out. So this combo might be good for many people especially if movies is your main thing, you've got a relatively small space and are comfortable with modest power. I will be testing out Crutchfield's return policy and will order another Pioneer Elite receiver since I had good success with my previous one. Then I'll add a 200 watt amp just for front Ch."

Where I hang out, and what I eat there.
More than restaurants, it's cafés that I feel a deep affinity to. I'm enraptured by the smells of coffee, the by-now-familiar sounds of the espresso machine, the touch of the cool hardness of the mismatched tables, and the sight of similarly over-stretched souls seeking a caffeinated time-out. Cafés are my lodestars, illuminating a path to renewed and re-charged creativity. And I can't think of anything more comforting to clasp to my chest than a cup of coffee while deliberating yet another slice of sweet.
Here then, are my favorite cafés. This is a post I'm hesitant to write because these places are all very special – and pleasurably secret – for me. But they make me happy. And if you're familiar with me at all by now, you know that happy, especially when it comes to food places, is something I have to share.
The Room Upstairs
More than any other place on this list, this is the one I'm most reluctant to reveal. I wrote about this place some years ago, and since then, it's gone through a recent refurbish.
There's almost too much to amuse the eye here in this hip space owned by interior designer Pinky Peralta and her husband, Ari. Their concept to meld food and furniture takes flight in their avant-garde playground where design-meets-coffee, the home accents evocative of eclectic styles embracing functionality. Every visit yields something new and I'm constantly bewitched by the ever-changing models of oversized lamps, mismatched tables, and the retro chaise longues.
This is the uber-stylish environment of this unique coffee shop: The Room Upstairs Café where there's nothing like sipping and supping in a sanctuary so pleasing to eye and palate. It's all about choosing a table first. That round two-seater in the corner illuminated brightly or the expansive wooden table banked up with Victorian-style banquettes?
This café has a dining menu albeit limited, but I've never eaten a full meal here. The Peraltas have made a conscious decision to keep the food locally-sourced, items that include salads, assorted sandwiches, bruschetta, and pastas.
The coffee at The Room Upstairs is – like the furniture – something to talk about. Barako and Alamid beans are used in beverage preparations like Americano, Latte, and Cappuccino but it's best brewed black. The coffee is brewed in a French press that extracts a substantial, powerful cup conveying a strong, heavy body with a slight astringency.
Coffee like this is wonderful with the sweets displayed so temptingly at the counter. Various biscotti, some dipped in chocolate, some plain are arranged to entice in a wide-mouthed jar. Cakes such as Mochaccino and Cherry Cheesecake gleam from behind the glass, it's as if they're winking and enticing. There's a Decadent Chocolate Cake but I'm especially fond of two things. First, the Linzer Tart. An Austrian specialty, this is a slightly-spiced nut crust filled with strawberry (classically, it should be raspberry) jam. The dough used in the crust is then utilized once more to form a lattice top crust. It's pretty and pleasing with a subtle hint of allspice. Secondly, the mini lemon-glazed hearts are cookies that are big enough for a big bite. Buttery and brittle, their lemon flavor is zippy and adds an extra fillip of flavor to the coffee I wash it down with.

Chocolate Kiss Café
What I love more than the name of this café is its Dayap Chiffon Cake (P80). A louder whisper in weight than its more ethereal counterparts, there's an understated caramel ripple that runs through the middle of its citrus crumb. Dayap, whose acidity and more refined aroma makes it the more genteel sister of the calamansi imbues its character into this cake with a flourish of zingy intimacy sealed with swirls of marshmallow icing. Before I know it, the entire slice is gone.
Chocolate Kiss Café made its name on its Devils' Food Cake – lofty and mighty with mounds of sticky icing as well as its Hainanese Chicken Rice and Hickory Smoked Spareribs. All good yes, but I prefer the Fish Kiev (P240), medium-sized croquettes whose crusty exteriors cradle flakes of fish in a creamy sauce. It's a dish whose flavors are so demonstrably fluent and seamless that I almost forget about the side of mashed potatoes it comes with.
- Chicken Kiev with Mashed Potatoes
Ah, let me tell you about Chocolate Kiss's mashed potatoes. I daresay that these are the best that can be found in Manila. Evidently made from real potatoes – as copious lumps and tongue will attest to on first taste – these are sparingly salted and delicately peppered, with the faintest fire from smashed garlic. Possessing a consistency that's neither too dry or wet – frankly, they're almost spongy, they're perfect pillows for sopping up excessive amounts of gravy. These mashed potatoes are superlative – pass up the rice just this time for this.
At Chocolate Kiss, I also enthusiastically recommend the Sour Cream Cheesecake (P105; enough tang for pucker, and cream to make me sigh), and instead of the Devil's Food Cake, go for the Classic Chocolate Cake (P98), the fudge frosting of which is imminently more satisfying. I'll also say here that I prefer the A. Roces Avenue branch because it's less harried and gives off a better vibe.

Paris Délice
I've never stopped coming back here since I first wrote about it last December. I like it so much that I even had my birthday breakfast here and it's my early morning go-to place when meeting friends for brekkie.
The torsade au chocolat tortures me every time I come here, its spirals of chocolate and flaky pastry are as ravishing as the triangle aux amandes (almond triangle) or the chausson au pommes (apple turnover). The coffee here is assuredly exceptional. I should know, because my good friend, Robert Francisco of Boyds Coffee takes care of that. When the pull of savory is more persistent than the sweet (a rare reality, this) I'm inclined to the croque monsieur.
Lately however, there's one thing that sounds the siren song of sweet for me, and that's the Nutella Beignet. I'll admit that I love Nutella in all obscene ways imaginable and more than what is deemed acceptable. How can I not? And Paris Délice isn't helping any. The beignet, which is really more of a doughnut than the traditional yeast pastry, looks harmless enough. It's a doughnut…
…at least until I bite into it. Okay, if my first bite is tentative, there's nothing there but bread. But bite bigger I will and dig deeper I shall, and I'm rewarded with a rush of richness, a chocolate flow that scintillates on tongue and gleams in the morning light. Nutella's don't-stop-'til-you-get-enough quotient is derived from its characteristic hazelnut nuances tapping seductively on the arched back that is chocolate. This beignet, I still maintain that it's a doughnut, speaks to the erotic heights that a Nutella-induced craving can attain. I don't bother sharing this one with anyone. With something this good, my appetite will mount until it's satisfied.
Paris Délice always maintains a semblance of quiet and efficiency even at the height of lunch and dinner service. Afternoons are relaxing, when the only sound heard is the tap-tapping of digits on keyboards. Wi-Fi is a plus for those who want it but I'm not the type to lug my laptop around. What I do like to do in the afternoon here is to sip a cup of their hot chocolate. Native tsokolate with a French accent, the restaurant has eschewed the usual paper cup and now serves it in a proper ceramic cup, all frothy and dashing with a dollop of steamed milk. Never too sweet, it sears with its heat then cools with its chocolate edge.

- Sweet Bella's 1st floor
Sweet Bella Café
This is my latest café favorite. It's the newest baby of pastry chef Cristina Santiago-Rivera, my friend and one of the bakers at DCF's 6th Anniversary Party. It was last December when Cristina told me that she'd opened up her place but she asked me to "… please, please don't come over yet…" until she had everything in perfect order. I couldn't promise because really, nothing can keep me away from a good café, especially one that's run by a pastry chef of Cristina's caliber.
- Sweet Bella's 2nd floor
Sweet Bella Café is plush and lush set in rich tones of deep violet and her trademark pink and cocoa-brown boxes. Time just stands still here, it does. It's easy to see why I spend hours here with friends engaging in supposedly intellectual dialectic about which of Cristina's cakes are the best.
I'm astonished and absolutely pleased to see that the café carries a select line of TWG teas from the famed boutique in Singapore. They're all good but my favorite is the Silver Moon, a green tea blend highlighted with a berry-vanilla bouquet. This isn't your mother's teabag for look, each one is made from 100% cotton and is hand sewn. A luxe beverage, and one of the few times I'll eschew coffee for tea.
You can see and read about Cristina's creations here and here, so I won't get into those. But what I'll tell you about is one of her newest imaginings, something called Heaven. I call it a mighty-miniature size since it's bigger than her usual for-one portions. The softest of chiffon cakes – really, nothing but a diaphanous layer – is the base for an exquisitely crafted caramel mousse. It's a cream and cooked sugar combination that leaves the barest of sweet trails on the tongue – is it sugar? Is it even sweet? But it's caramel, yes it is. At the very heart of this cake is a hazelnut-chocolate croquant, a union that keeps satiety and boredom at bay. Its crispness commingles and collides with the caramel, their harmony is righteous and pure. The coating of this cake is fragile, cocoa butter and coloring that's been sprayed on the cake. It cracks under the weight of my lustful stare, but I use my fork too.
The best part about Heaven is the chocolate orb atop it. Initially, it looks out of place and man, it's hard to saw through. But don't make that mistake. Since my fingers are my default utensil, I pick up the sizable disc and bite. Upon impact, the most indulgent of salted caramel sallies forth, released from its chocolate cover. It spills over my lips and mouth, giving new meaning to the term, "licking my lips in pleasure." Truly, its taste is too good, it feels almost illicit.
No wonder it's called Heaven.

Christina Ricci is engaged.
The 'Bel Ami' actress has confirmed her engagement and revealed James Heerdegen popped the question "a couple months back", according to Us Weekly.
Christina met James on the set of her short lived TV series 'Pan Am', when he was working as a dolly grip and the duo first went public with their relationship in February 2012.
Christina called off her engagement to actor Owen Benjamin in 2009, and revealed her ideal man was: "Somebody smart and funny that I love being with.
"I've always said to people you should never let anyone change who you are because the only commodity you really have is your individuality."
The 32-year-old actress - who landed her first film role in 'Mermaids' aged 10 - previously revealed she is happy to have left her twenties behind.
She said: "I'm so glad I'm not 20-years-old any more. I was in a hurricane. I'm a lot calmer now. I don't cause destruction for myself and others everywhere I go."
"I take things as they happen and I've learned to be calm about things, troubleshoot problem as they arise and make the best out of things."
But despite the mayhem, Christina - who suffered from an eating disorder in her early teenage years - wouldn't change a thing about her wild-girl past.
She explained: "It all kind of makes up the back story which is my life."

Lamborn urges candidates for state legislature to boycott The Gazette
After a visit to The Colorado Springs Gazette for a video interview last week, it appears U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn has soured on the newspaper following a spat of unflattering news that came about from it.
Lamborn thought he was leaving a voice message for House District 21 candidate Albert Sweet, urging him not to visit The Gazette for a pre-scheduled video interview.
However, Lamborn dialed the wrong number, leaving the message for someone else. The audio was obtained and released by Robert Blaha, who is challenging the three-term congressman in a Republican primary in the 5th Congressional District.
Listen to the audio and here's a transcript of it:
Al, this is Congressman Doug Lamborn, and I have real problems with how the Gazette treated me in this online video chat yesterday and I would like to urge you not to do it, because they were dishonest with me and unfair and I can give you the specifics. They did things to help my opponent [Robert Blaha] that they did not tell me they were doing and they were unfair to me and I just think, uh, you shouldn't do this. Please give me a call. Thank you, Bye.
According to The Gazette, Lamborn also contacted Lois Landgraf. She and Sweet are in a two-way GOP primary for the newly established seat in the state Legislature.
"I had car trouble and didn't attend," Sweet said, about missing the interview. When asked if he received a telephone call from Lamborn, Sweet hung up on The Denver Post.
All of this began last week — as blogged by The Post over the weekend — when Lamborn was interviewed by The Gazette's John Schroyer. During the interview Lamborn was asked if he felt he had been a worthy successor to former U.S. Rep. Joel Hefley, who had previously represented the district for two decades.
"I feel like I've gone beyond his legacy," Lamborn told Gazette TV.
Hefley's response: "How can you be so stupid?'" he later told The Gazette. "It showed me that Doug is either ignorant or he's dishonest. I thought, 'What a knucklehead.'"
Lamborn eventually said he was "misunderstood" during the video interview.
The primary election is June 26.

Ryan Irvin, PhD, MS
Dr. Irvin received a masters in biostatistics from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston and completed her doctoral degree in the Department of Epidemiology at UAB. She finalized her training in the UAB Section on Statistical Genetics as a postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Irvin joined the faculty at UAB in 2011. Her primary research interest is in pharmacogenetics of antihypertensive treatment with a focus on genetic risk for incident diabetes mellitus due to thiazide diuretic treatment and treatment resistant hypertension. Recent advancements in next-generation DNA sequencing technologies make sequencing the entire human genome accessible for patients in the foreseeable future. Plus, the increasing use of electronic medical records will make unique aspects of an individual's genetic make-up readily available to physicians. She aims to develop a program of research that will ultimately lead to the application of pharmacogenetics in the clinic for the optimization of antihypertensive treatment.

I kid you not, one patient actually came in claiming to be allergic to metal, and said that the reaction was death. My first thought was "How many times did this patient died before they learned that they were allergic to all metals." The second thought was "How the hell is someone going to start an IV line... considering that the needles are all metal....

There was also a child with no tolerance for sunlight - even small amounts of the sun's rays made her skin blister. So she went out to play only at night, when the sun was down.

A split Loveland City Council voted early Wednesday morning to move forward an election date for a fracking moratorium. In doing so, initiative opponent Larry Sarner agreed to drop his pending appeal of petition signatures to the Colorado Court of Appeals.
Last week, councilors decided on July 29 for the special election, though four councilors — Dave Clark, John Fogle, Troy Krenning and Hugh McKean — supported a June 24 date.
A discussion on the election date was added to the council's agenda on Monday, after the city heard from attorneys for Loveland resident Larry Sarner, whose lawsuit against the city led councilors last year to delay putting the Protect Our Loveland-submitted ballot initiative on the November ballot.
As part of the settlement offer — signed Tuesday by Sarner's Denver-based attorneys at Holsinger Law — Sarner will drop his pending appeals and cease litigation.
All the city had to do was change the special election date to June 24.
Through its representatives, law students at the University of Denver, POL countered with a verbal settlement proposal late Tuesday afternoon.
"Each party has a different request in terms of which date the election will be held on," acting city attorney Judy Schmidt told the council.
The nature of POL's settlement offer, as explained by Schmidt, was that if the city keeps the July 29 date, the group would drop its pending appeal against the city.
After hours of discussion on each settlement proposal that took councilors past midnight, councilor Chauncey Taylor went back on his vote from last week and voted with Clark, Fogle, Krenning and McKean in setting the June 24 date.
"I think the settlement at hand gives us the best possibility of moving to an election with the least possibility of further litigation," Fogle said.
Councilors, who discussed the settlement offers past deadline, are up against the tightest of deadlines. The date by which the council is required to act on either election date — June 24 or July 29 — is May 6, and City Clerk Terry Andrews said she needs to order envelopes for the mail-in election Wednesday.
A June 24 election date is estimated to cost as much as $30,000 more than the July 29 date.
Changing the set date could also tangle the city in yet more legal battles, said councilor Joan Shaffer, who favored keeping the July 29 date.
"I am not willing to trade one lawsuit over another over a change of date," she said.
Councilors in favor of the June date have said that the electorate would benefit from it coinciding with the state's primary election and garner more participation. But unaffiliated voters or those not as interested in the primary election might not give it the same attention, Shaffer said.
Republicans in Loveland will have a full ballot for the June 24 primary, including choices for U.S. Senate, U.S. House and governor. Registered Democrats will not have the same high-profile choices.
"The reality is there is a one-party primary," Shaffer said. "If both parties had active primary candidates, the date would make more sense to me."
Councilors objected to entering a closed session to discuss the settlement proposals. Schmidt provided pros and cons of the settlement offer to councilors on Tuesday in a document that was not distributed to the public.
Councilor Phil Farley referred to the document in explaining his vote against the June 24 special election.
"The cons outweigh the pros," he said.

Business Hour
Traditionally, business hours in Argentina start at 8am and break at midday siesta (rest) for three or even four hours, during which people return home for lunch and a brief nap. After siesta, shops reopen until 8pm or 9pm. This schedule is still common in the provinces, but government offices and many businesses in Buenos Aires have adopted a more conventional 8am to 5pm schedule.

Va. Tech families cite 'legacy' of campus safety
RICHMOND, Va. -- The families of victims and survivors of the 2007 massacre at Virginia Tech call campus safety measures instituted at colleges and universities nationwide a "living legacy" that won't be diminished by a court decision involving two who were killed.
The VTV Family Outreach Foundation said the changes sparked by the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history remain strong despite a Virginia Supreme Court ruling Thursday that tossed a jury's wrongful death finding against the state stemming from two students' deaths during the rampage.
Justices concluded that Tech administrators did not have a duty to warn students that a gunman remained at large after he had killed two people in a dormitory and that they had no way to anticipate he would go on to kill 30 more and himself.
The court ruled in the case of two students whose families argued that they might have survived the rampage if the administrators alerted the campus earlier to the gunman's initial shootings at a dormitory. Instead, Erin Nicole Peterson, Julia Kathleen Pryde and 28 other people were killed nearly three hours later in Norris Hall, a classroom building.
But the justices agreed with the state -- that there was no way to anticipate the deadly intentions of student Seung-Hui Cho.
"Thus, as a matter of law, the commonwealth did not have a duty to protect students against third party criminal acts," the court wrote.
Since the shootings, U.S. campuses have instituted warning systems across different platforms -- cellphone alerts, warning sirens -- and have been proactive in working to prevent a repeat of what happened in Blacksburg, Va. Advocates and family members of victims said the ruling won't change that.
"Improvements to how colleges and universities across the country, post April 16, 2007, handle threat assessment and emergency response spurred by the tragedy have fundamentally improved campus safety," the VTV Family Outreach Foundation said in a statement. "This is their living legacy."
The foundation and its 32 National Campus Safety Initiative -- named for the number of victims at Tech -- works to promote efforts to make college campuses safer.
"The April 16, 2007, tragedy forever changed campus safety," said S. Daniel Carter, director of the initiative. "This court ruling does nothing to diminish that."
In Thursday's ruling, the justices reversed the jury's findings and issued a final ruling, meaning there is no avenue for appeal.
The state attorney general's office said the court "found what we have said all along to be true."
Spokesman Brian Gottstein wrote in an email: "The commonwealth and its officials at Virginia Tech were not negligent on April 16, 2007. Cho was the lone person responsible for this tragedy."
The case was the lone pending legal action stemming from the massacre, Gottstein said.
The appeal attorney representing the parents of Peterson, 18, and Pryde, 23, said justices applied a stricter standard than the trial judge. The public perception of the university's actions could be a different matter, attorney L. Steven Emmert said.
"Now in the court of public opinion, the university may suffer -- that's quite possible, but that's not the court's to deal with," he said. "Courts will decide legal rights."
The trial in the case was held in March 2012 in Montgomery County, near the Tech campus. Jurors found that the state should have issued more timely campus warnings after Cho shot two in the dormitory. The jury awarded the families $4 million each. The trial judge later reduced the award to $100,000 each, the state cap on damages.
The trial focused on the time between the dorm shootings, shortly after 7 a.m., and the killings at Norris Hall, shortly before 10 a.m. A campuswide email at 9:50 a.m. warned of a gunman on campus and advised students to remain inside. By then, Cho had chained the Norris Hall doors and killed the victims.
The Petersons and the Prydes are the only families of Tech victims who did not join in an $11 million settlement. Their attorneys have shielded the families from the media, but they have said they were intent on holding university officials accountable for their actions on April 16, 2007.
The state argued that law enforcement officials believed the first shootings were targeted, the result of a domestic dispute, and they concluded the larger campus was not at risk. The justices concluded that university officials acted properly.
The state was the only defendant at trial. In a statement, Tech President Charles Steger, who has announced his retirement, extended his gratitude to state attorneys who argued the appeal. Virginia Tech's statement said the ruling "can never reverse the loss of lives nor the pain experienced by so many families and friends of victims of one person."
Andrew Goddard, whose son Colin was wounded at Tech, said he found the ruling upsetting, and he wondered whether universities would see an opening to relax safety measures.
"I think it certainly takes the pressure off universities," he wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "I would hope that all future freshman orientations clearly spell out that, despite all the policy changes and advanced notification systems, the university actually has no `duty' to use them. Let's see how parents react to that."

Colorado Senate: Gutted vaccine bill gains initial OK
A vaccine bill as proposed would have required Colorado parents to take an online course to understand the benefits and risks of vaccinating their children before opting out.
But that didn't sit well with vocal groups of parents, who over the past month filled Capitol committee rooms to speak in opposition to House Bill 1288, arguing the measure would essentially lead to mandatory vaccinations.
And on Tuesday, the state Senate gave initial approval to a stripped down form of the bill. Amended in a committee, the measure now only requires school districts to report vaccination rates.
In its initial form the bill required parents to complete an online-education course that discloses the benefits and risks of immunization if they choose to opt out for reasons of "personal belief." Current state law requires only a parent's signature to claim a personal, medical or religious exemption from vaccination, with the majority of exemptions for personal reasons.
Colorado, which has seen recent outbreaks of whooping cough, has some of the most lax vaccination laws in the country, and the bill's Senate sponsor, Irene Aguilar, D-Denver, said she did not have the votes to pass the stronger proposal out of the Senate.
"As a physician, I believe the benefits of immunizations outweigh the risks, and that there is a lot of misinformation about immunizations. The bill in its original form would have helped to ensure that parents know the facts about immunizations before taking an exemption due to personal beliefs, or even convenience – that was still their choice," said Aguilar.

Made you look!
Anyway, I think one of the hardest points in life is when you got to learn something, and its only as you get more knowledgeable that you feel more happy with something. MY IT helpdesk job for example now been dong it for almost 2 years and I am now at the stage of really starting to know what I am doing.
So its such a shame that I still only know the basics of C++, but keep reading and studying, one day! Shame I am probably going to be too old soon to get any C++ job *sigh*
no real point to this, just I understand now why its anoying when somone has not even tried and they ask for help, I do everything I can before I ask for help myself.

Design wizard necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 94 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
We are a brand communications firm with way to much work and need your help! Make us proud and we could call on you again in the future.
females; ages18 to 45 there is some male cross over but the main audience is female.
The project scope is to create a logo for "Lipo-Ex®."
Lipo-Ex® is a non-surgical way of melting fat and reshaping body tissue. Its a fast, efficient and safe way to minimize the appearance of cellulite and other unwanted fatty tissue. In a sense its like body sculpting.
What we're looking for:
The logo needs to be clinical in nature with a focus on medical-day spa treatments. The logo should be corporate professional using a stylized free flowing abstract female figure emphasizing the results of having a Lipo-Ex® treatment. It can be a silhouette of the female form. Think body sculpting. We are also open to other clinical types of logo marks that might represent Lipo-Ex®. But this should be a secondary thought in your execution. The registration mark "®" should be part of your logo.
****Added creative direction*****
If you have an idea other then a female form, please submit these ideas as well. Lipo-Ex uses uniform electrical fields kind of like radio waves that heat the treatment area breaking down fat cells.
****Tagline changed****
Tagline: "The non-surgical alternative to liposuction"
The tag line should accompany the logo.
we'd like to see a rich color palette with some executions colored in purple, gold, green and blue.
Logo usage:
Website, and marketing material
Files needed:
Vector format. Illustrator CS3 documents only. RGB and CMYK. Files should include fonts if they are not manipulated. Otherwise covert to paths.
We emphasize that we are looking for a professional execution of this logo project. Student or amateur work will be eliminated immediately.
Good luck! We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Welcome to the Third Issue of History Now
By Carol Berkin
It is a cliché that America is a land of immigrants. But there is truth behind this cliché. From the migrating hunters who crossed the Bering Strait thousands of years ago to the Mayflower's English passengers of 1620 to the Ukrainian, Mexican, and Vietnamese immigrants of today, America's people have been travelers to a new land and a new life. No matter how many generations ago, each of our families began with a voyage to that new land. This issue of HISTORY NOW, which is devoted to narrating this ongoing story of immigration, uses three groups whose arrivals span the centuries from colonial times to the present as the lens through which to view the immigrant experience. In addition to these essays on Eastern European, and Puerto Rican immigration and the forced migration of African Americans we have included an essay that explores how immigrants engage the struggle between acculturation and the preservation of their ethnic or religious identities through the literature they produce. Finally, we have devoted our interactive feature to several landmark legal cases that address the critical question: who can claim American citizenship and who, at times in our history, has been denied that opportunity.
Why is the study of immigration such an important element of our curriculum on every level of education? In part, because the students in many of our classrooms mirror the diversity of American society that these essays highlight. In the halls of my own college, students speak to one another in their native Russian, Spanish, Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew; in my classes, they bring to the study of American history a rich array of analogies to and revealing differences from lives begun in distant countries. For these students, the study of immigration is reassuring, reminding them that others have gone through the same experiences, both difficult and exhilarating, of becoming American. But even students whose families arrived many generations or centuries ago benefit from a close examination of our diverse origins. The study of immigration provides these students with an opportunity to reconnect with their own past and to understand the process that led to their becoming "native Americans." And for all our students, the study of immigration reminds them that who and what we are as a nation is the sum total of our multiple traditions, customs, beliefs, and talents, that e pluribus unum means the creation of a new, collective national identity out of many diverse identities.

Specifies that calls to functions specified in the pragma's argument list are intrinsic.
#pragma intrinsic( function1 [, function2, ...] )
The intrinsic pragma tells the compiler that a function has known behavior. The compiler may call the function and not replace the function call with inline instructions, if it will result in better performance.
The library functions with intrinsic forms are listed below. Once an intrinsic pragma is seen, it takes effect at the first function definition containing a specified intrinsic function. The effect continues to the end of the source file or to the appearance of a function pragma specifying the same intrinsic function. The intrinsic pragma can be used only outside of a function definition — at the global level.
The following functions have intrinsic forms and the intrinsic forms are used when you specify /Oi:
Programs that use intrinsic functions are faster because they do not have the overhead of function calls but may be larger due to the additional code generated.
x86 Specific
The _disable and _enable intrinsics generate kernel-mode instructions to disable/enable interrupts and could be useful in kernel-mode drivers.
Compile the following code from the command line with "cl -c -FAs sample.c" and look at sample.asm to see that they turn into x86 instructions CLI and STI:
// pragma_directive_intrinsic.cpp
// processor: x86
#include <dos.h> // definitions for _disable, _enable
#pragma intrinsic(_disable)
#pragma intrinsic(_enable)
void f1(void) {
// do some work here that should not be interrupted
int main() {
End x86 Specific
The floating-point functions listed below do not have true intrinsic forms. Instead they have versions that pass arguments directly to the floating-point chip rather than pushing them onto the program stack:
The floating-point functions listed below have true intrinsic forms when you specify /Oi, /Og, and /fp:fast (or any option that includes /Og: /Ox, /O1, and /O2):
You can use /fp:strict or /Za to override generation of true intrinsic floating-point options. In this case, the functions are generated as library routines that pass arguments directly to the floating-point chip instead of pushing them onto the program stack.
See # pragma function for information and an example on how to enable/disable intrinsics for a block of source text.

Abekoase And Ekoso-Akwasum Rewarded For Their Cocoa Production
Two cocoa growing communities in the Eastern Region have received a mechanized borehole, electricity generating play ground and 40 pieces of customized chargeable solar lanterns. The Electricity-Generating Play Ground produces electricity to charge the lamps whiles the children play with it. The chargeable solar lanterns were donated by Touton and Transmar, Cocoa processing companies in France under a traceability project to improve the living conditions of people in cocoa growing areas. Abekoase benefited from the borehole estimated at GH¢9,000, whilst Ekoso-Akwadum received the Electricity-Generating Playground and the customized solar lanterns costing $10,000. The Electricity-Generating Play Ground was situated at the Ekoso-Akwadum Roman Catholic Basic School. The accompanying chargeable lamps would be distributed to households in the community to enable their children learn in the evening to improve their educational performance. Traceability Foundation is a collaboration between the Ghana COCOBOD, the Produce Buying Company (PBC) and the Touton and Transmar established three years ago to improve the lives of cocoa farmers and their communities through a special arrangement of paying additional premiums on quality cocoa from the producing communities. Mr Asante Poku, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana COCOBOD, said the projects were additional benefits accruing from cocoa farming through the initiative of the COCOBOD and the PBC for better conditions for cocoa farmers and their communities. He observed that the move was to boost cocoa production to meet the demand of the European market and therefore farmers must ensure good farming practices and endeavor to boost their production for more of such developmental projects. Mr Kwadwo Ata-Krah, the Managing Director of the PBC, said the Traceability Foundation was also to ensure that cocoa communities adhered to good farming practices for quality of their cocoa beans through education. He said the Foundation assessed the communities on child labour exploitation to ensure that they did not engage their children on cocoa farms at the expense of their education and urged the cocoa farmers to produce more cocoa through good practices to attract more of such premiums for the development of their communities. According to the PBC Manager, the premiums were different for the prices already paid on purchasing the cocoa and that the project was currently running in two cocoa districts in the region. He said Abekoase was chosen as a beneficiary because it produced about 800 bags averagely during cocoa seasons. Mr Ata-Krah hoped that the Electricity Generating Play Ground would improve the performance of the children in the community, who were mostly wards of cocoa farmers. The Chief of Abekoase, Barimah Akroma Acheampong, who was elated by the gesture, thanked the collaborators for the provision of the borehole, which he noted would solve the acute water problem facing the community. He, however, appealed to the Foundation to consider the construction of a clinic for the community and pledged the support of the community in improving and boosting cocoa production in Ghana.

Cause of fatal Asiana crash to be released Tuesday
WASHINGTON — Nearly a year after the fatal crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 in San Francisco, federal investigators will determine Tuesday what caused the accident and make recommendations to avoid another.
The National Transportation Safety Board will release its report on the results of its investigation into the July 6, 2013, crash that killed three people and injured more than 200.
Investigators have already said the Boeing 777-200ER was flying lower and slower than intended when it slammed into the seawall at the end of the runway, spun around and burst into flames.
The board will vote on probable causes of the crash and then make non-binding recommendations, which are keenly awaited in the industry because of the expertise of the board and its staffers.
"We really look forward to seeing that report. We work not in the 'what happened,' but 'why it happened,'" said Michael Barr, who teaches aviation safety at the University of Southern California and has a commercial pilot's certificate. "The why is what's going to prevent the next accident."
The Asiana flight from Seoul was traveling about 119 mph, despite a goal of 158 mph, when it hit the seawall on a sunny morning. The airline acknowledged in documents filed in March that a "probable cause" of the accident was the pilots flying too slow.
But the pilots also said "inconsistencies" with the autothrottle contributed to the crash, which manufacturer Boeing dismissed in its filings. The problem was that after a change in an autopilot setting about 1,600 feet off the ground, the autothrottle went into "hold" mode that kept the engines idling, rather than maintaining speed, which the pilots didn't realize.
Asiana said in its filing the navigation equipment "led the crew to believe that the autothrottle was maintaining the airspeed set by the crew" and instead the equipment "disabled the aircraft's minimum airspeed protection" without an audible warning. The airline also said test pilots had trouble landing under the same conditions in simulators.
But Boeing said in its submission that the plane and all its systems were functioning as expected before the crash and "did not contribute to the accident." Boeing said Asiana pilots should have aborted their landing 500 feet off the ground — as stated by the airline's own policy — because of numerous cues that the plane's speed was lowering, the thrust setting was incorrect and the plane was flying too low.
Asiana said the pilots had plenty of experience, but the crash raised questions about whether pilots need more training to monitor sophisticated technology aboard planes.
At a December NTSB hearing, investigators said the flying pilot, Lee Kang Kuk, was landing for the first time at San Francisco and he had spent just 43 hours flying the 777, although he had clocked 9,684 hours on a variety of other jets. Another pilot serving as an instructor on the flight, Lee Jung Min, had spent 3,208 hours flying 777s out of 12,307 total flying hours.
Barr said the NTSB's conclusions are respected because they serve as a moderator in determining what went wrong, while an airline and manufacturer strongly assert their own positions.
"The NTSB has no dog in that fight," Barr said. "They will come down as close as they can to what can be proven."
Other key elements include survivability of the crash. Testimony at an NTSB hearing in December said the plane largely held together, despite coming down harder than certified to land, and seats remained intact until fire swept through the cabin.
But two of the evacuation slides made by Air Cruiser opened inside the cabin, pinning a flight attendant temporarily. The company was going to further test the equipment.
A firetruck ran over one of the three people who died as a result of the crash, 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan, when she was covered in firefighting foam on the ground. Fire officials said the priority was to save hundreds of people inside the plane.
Barr, who called himself a big fan of rescue personnel, said crash investigations show what happens in practice rather than just in planning and engineering.
"There are things you can learn and take corrective action from that," Barr said of crash reports. "Nothing is wasted."

General Terms and Conditions of Use of FC Bayern München AG for use of the services on the www.fcbayern.com website
1. Scope; amendments to GTCs
1.1 Where no separate general terms and conditions of business (GTCs) apply (as for instance in the case of FCB.tv), these Terms of Use shall apply to your use of the services, both on a fee-paying and gratuitous basis, which you (hereinafter: the User) may subscribe for and use on the website of www.fcbayern.com. The services in question are the services of FC Bayern München AG, Säbener Strasse 51-57, 81547 Munich, represented by its management board, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Jan-Christian Dreesen, Andreas Jung and Jörg Wacker (hereinafter "FC Bayern").
1.2 FC Bayern reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions as to the future. FC Bayern shall notify the User of amendments to these GTCs by email and advises the User that amendments are deemed accepted if the User does not object to them with four weeks' time. The User is obliged to keep his email address updated at all times (see sec. 2.1).
2. Registration; formation of contract; right of cancellation
2.1 In order to be able to use/subscribe for the services of the www.fcbayern.com website, the User may/must register. By registering, the User undertakes to correctly and completely provide the data query at the time of registration, which the User must at all times keep updated to the most current status in the event of any changes. The User may make updates when logged in under "MyFCB-Profile".
2.2 Right of cancellation
Advice on rights of cancellation
The User has the right to cancel this contract within 14 days' time, without the need to state grounds of cancellation. The cancellation period is 14 days from the date the contract was formed.
In order to exercise his right of cancellation, the User must inform FCB (FC Bayern München AG, Säbener Str. 51-57, 81547 Munich, Tel.:089/69931-666 Telefax: 089/6132451, email: firstname.lastname@example.com) by unambiguous declaration (e.g. letter dispatched by post or facsimile/email) of his decision to cancel this contract. The User may for this purpose use the attached model cancellation form, although that form is not required. For purposes of complying with the cancellation period, it shall suffice if the User dispatches his notification that he is exercising his right of cancellation prior to expiry of the cancellation period.
Consequences of cancellation:
If the User cancels his contract, FCB shall refund all payments to the User which FCB received from him without delay (within 14 days at the latest from the date on which FCB received his notification that he was cancelling his contract). For such refunds, FCB shall use the same mode of payment which the User used for the original transaction except where a different agreement is expressly made with the User; in no case will the User be charged any fees for such refund.
Special notes
In the case of services, the User's right of cancellation shall expire prematurely if FCB has commenced performing the services with the User's express consent prior to the end of the cancellation period or the User himself has initiated this.
Where the User requests that the services commenced during the cancellation period, the User shall pay a reasonable amount to FCB corresponding to the pro rata proportion of the services already rendered up to the point at which the User notifies the FCB of his exercise of his right of cancellation of this contract, relative to the total volume of services envisaged by the contract.
Pursuant to sec. 312d (3) German Civil Code [German acronym: BGB], this right of cancellation shall end prematurely where the User uses the activation code contained in the confirmation email to activate the services ordered. In the event of a valid cancellation, the consideration received must be re-conveyed and, where applicable, any benefits derived therefrom must be disgorged. In particular, the provider shall refund any payments of the User which may previously have been made to the User.
2.3 FC Bayern reserves the right to extend, modify and/or make improvements to the services offered at any time where such changes are reasonable to the User, taking account of FC Bayern's interests. This will particularly be the case where the changes do not entail any commercial disadvantages to the User, e.g. because new functionalities are being introduced.
2.4 To prevent the creation of duplicates, only one-time registration is permitted. (In the event that you have forgotten your password, you may set a new password using the "forgot password" function.)
2.5 The User undertakes that he shall not disclose his password even when requested to do so. We advise users that FC Bayern staff or call centre agents are not authorised to ask users for their passwords.
2.6 The User shall bear liability for losses arising where, as a result of the User's negligence or intentional act, third parties gain knowledge of their password. If a User's password has been stolen or if the User learns that third parties are wrongfully using his password, he must notify FC Bayern immediately via the feedback box or email.
3. Compensation for fee-based services/price adjustments
3.1 To the extent the services are provided on a fee-paying basis and no separate GTCs apply (as in the case of FC Bayern.tv plus), the amount applicable to the period ordered shall fall due for payment in full at the time of registration and shall be debited/collected depending on the mode of payment selected by the User. Where no direct debit authority has been provided, the User must remit payment immediately upon activation of his account.
3.2 FC Bayern reserves the right to make appropriate modifications to its prices for fee-based services in the event of extensions/improvements of services within the meaning of sec. 2.3 or where there are changes to the cost factors involved. Secs 1.2 sentences 2 and 3, shall apply mutatis mutandis.
4. Duties of User;
4.1 The services may only be used for private purposes. No use thereof for commercial purposes is permitted. In particular, the User may not use the services in order to advertise for other websites, services or commercial offers.
4.4 The User bears a duty not to breach applicable law when using the website and the services offered on it. In particular, the User shall ensure that content disseminated by the User (including links) do not infringe on any third party rights (such as copyright) or violate applicable criminal law or the Protection of Youth Act and, thus, in particular, that the User shall not disseminate any content which is racist, pornographic, obscene, which glorifies violence or drugs, which constitutes defamation or which is inappropriate for minors. The User likewise undertakes that he shall not disseminate any viruses or unsolicited mass mailing and that the User shall furthermore refrain from doing anything else which could pose a risk to the capacity and availability of the services. Users are likewise not permitted to solicit others' participation in chain letters, pyramid schemes and other games of chance.
4.5 The User shall bear full legal responsibility for his own conduct and for content contributed by him (including links). In this respect, the User shall indemnify and hold FC Bayern harmless against any potential third party claims and against the costs of any necessary legal defence which may be asserted against FC Bayern due to the User's actions or content.
5. Third party content; deletion of content
5.1 The content uploaded, sent or received by users does not constitute content of FC Bayern ("Third Party Content") but rather is attributable solely to the User who uploads such content. Because such content is uploaded in real time, FC Bayern is unable to review the content at short notice.
5.2 The User hereby consents to the use and publication of its content on all platforms.
5.3 As soon as FC Bayern learns of manifestly unlawful content, FC Bayern shall be entitled to delete such content without prior notice. It will, in particular, do so where any breach of sec. 4.4 is present. The same shall apply in cases in which FC Bayern receives a demand from a public authority or a court to remove such content or is obliged to cease and desist in order to avoid litigation with a third party. In other cases in which the well-founded suspicion of a violation of law exists, FC Bayern may delete the content to avoid any further damages and initially block the User.
6. Liability.
6.1 In further and other respects, FCB shall be liable within the scope of this Agreement in cases of statutory or contractual liability to pay compensation for losses/compensation of frustrated expenses caused by FCB, its legal representatives or vicarious agents, in cases of intentional acts or omissions and gross negligence. In cases of a breach of a primary contractual obligation or an ancillary obligation by slight negligence, where such breach places achievement of the purpose of the contract at risk, or where performance of the obligation in question is an initial prerequisite to proper performance of the contract and is one on which customers may normally rely (hereinafter "Material Ancillary Obligation"), FCB's liability shall be limited to losses which are typical to the contract and which were foreseeable at the time the contract was formed. FCB shall bear no liability for slight negligent breach of contractual ancillary obligations which do not form a part of the Material Ancillary Obligations.
6.2. Claims for culpable infliction of damage to life, limb or health, claims under the Product Liability Act, claims for fraud or deception, claims based on a warranty of the qualities of an item sold assumed by FCB, or for any procurement risk assumed by FCB shall remain unaffected hereby.
6.3. This limitation on liability shall also extend to the personal liability of FCB's legal representatives and vicarious agents.
7. Term; termination
7.1 Where no separate GTCs apply (such as in the case of FC Bayern.tv plus, Online-Fanshop, Ticketing, etc.) fee-based services have a fixed term for the period for which the order is placed, and thereafter shall be automatically extended in each case by the period for which the order is placed, to a maximum, however, of one year each, if the service is not terminated prior to this upon six weeks' notice to the end date.
7.2 Where, despite a written warning setting a reasonable grace period to the email address indicated by the User, the User fails to discharge his payment obligations, FC Bayern may terminate the service in question without notice.
7.3 Gratuitous services may be terminated by either party with immediate effect, without the need to state any grounds. The User may deregister from the service in question when logged in, by using the appropriate deregistration process. For deletion of a personal User account, please send an email to email@example.com. In respect of the newsletter, the User is informed regarding this option for deregistration again in the footer of each newsletter. FC Bayern shall inform the User regarding termination of any service by email to the email address indicated by the User at the time of registration.
8. Data protection, intellectual property rights
8.1 For FC Bayern, compliance with the applicable data protection rules is a matter of course. FC Bayern shall use the data only within the scope permitted by law, e.g. in order to perform the contract or to inform you about goods or services which are similar to the goods and services you have ordered. You may object to any use or transmission of your data for advertising purposes or for purposes of market or opinion research by contacting us at any time at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will advise you again of this right of objection each time we contact you for advertising purposes.
To the extent the User uses other services of the fcbayern.com website, e.g. Ticketing, Fan-Shop, in some cases there is also an option of prepopulating the order form using existing data at the User's request.
You will find the data protection statement at http://www.fcbayern.com/de/datenschutz/
In the event that the ArenaCard application is used to pre-fund the card, the data required to handle this procedure will be forwarded to Allianz Arena Payment GmbH.
8.2 All of the logos, photographs and other images on FC Bayern's internet presence are protected by trademark/copyright. Any use thereof without consent of FC Bayern, in particular the unauthorised downloading of images, is prohibited and FC Bayern will pursue violators under civil law/criminal law.
9. Final provisions
9.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall govern.
9.2 Where the counterparty is a 'merchant' within the meaning of the German Commercial Code [German acronym: HGB], a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public administrative law, where the counterparty lacks a general place of jurisdiction within Germany or where the counterparty's domicile or usual place of residence is unknown at the time of filing suit, exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all disputes arising out of and in connection with this party's contractual relations shall lie with the courts of Munich. The place of performance for payment, delivery of goods and services shall be the registered office of FC Bayern in Munich.
9.3 No amendments to these Terms and Conditions shall be valid unless made in written form. The foregoing shall also apply to any revocation or amendment of this written form clause. Transmission by facsimile or email shall not be deemed to satisfy the written form clause.

John L Hartman IV, MD, an associate professor in the Department of Genetics and member of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center (NORC) at UAB, has been awarded one of two special emphasis grants by the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) entitled "Demonstration Projects for Systems Biology of Aging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (R01)".
The National Institute on Aging was seeking research projects with the potential to demonstrate whether 'systems' biology, which is most feasible in simpler organisms, could provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms of aging. The research projects will utilize a single-cell eukaryotic organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast), which has been a powerful genetic model for cellular and molecular studies on aging. A more complete description of the RFA is given at the web page: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-12-011.html
For this study, Dr. Hartman will apply a novel, quantitative high-throughput lifespan assay to deduce how metabolic networks regulate cellular aging. His specialized expertise in the development of an automated quantitative cell array phenotyping method enables screening for influences on aging among hundreds of thousands of potential genetic-by-environment interactions, which was an important factor in the award of funding his proposal. Equally important for winning the grant was the expertise of other members of the multi-disciplinary scientific team assembled by Dr. Hartman. Co-investigators on the grant include other NORC members, Dr. Daniel Smith and Dr. Stephen Barnes, and Dr. Eric Schadt from Mt. Sinai, who is a pioneer in the area of biological networks. The team's expertise spans the areas of nutrient effects on aging, 'omic' analysis (including transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and phenomics) as well as biostatistics and construction of predictive computational models. The project is entitled "Constructing gene-regulatory networks to reveal the metabolic basis of lifespan in yeast".

Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
During the 2005 session, state legislators passed a new statute (Chapter 176 of the Local Government Code) requiring officers of local government entities* to report conflicts of interest with vendors of the local government entities. This statute applies to community colleges and their boards of trustees and chancellors.
Local governmental officers must file a Conflicts Disclosure Statement if:
1. they or one of their family members receives taxable income from a vendor that is doing (or considering doing) business with the local government entity or2. they have received gifts (other than food, lodging, transportation or entertainment accepted as a guest) that have a total value of more than $250 in the 12-month period before the officer becomes aware of the conflict.
To comply with the new statute, DCCCD and its officers who have reports to file are publishing that information on this page.
* This statute also requires vendors to disclose conflicts of interest with local government entity officers.
No Conflict Disclosure Statement filed at this time.

Do you, by any chance, play french horn?
Also this is the first time I found someone else who likes the Shadow Hearts series and Chrono Cross.
We have a comment on the iTunes page stating that song editing could be better. I'd like to address that, but I'm not 100% sure what it means. Is it referring to the sometimes-abrupt transitions I do to truncate longer songs or repetitive songs? Anyone have any thoughts on that?

At the age of twelve, Jonas, a young boy from a seemingly utopian, futuristic world, is singled out to receive special training from The Giver, who alone holds the memories of the true joys and pain of life.
In this speculation on the nature of the future of human society, life in Kira's community is nasty, brutish, and, for the ill or disabled, short.
In this novel that unites characters from "The Giver" and "Gathering Blue," Matty, a young member of a utopian community that values honesty, conceals an emerging healing power that he cannot explain or understand.
Son thrusts readers once again into the chilling world of the Newbery Medal winning book, The Giver, as well as Gathering Blue and Messenger where a new hero emerges. In this thrilling series finale, the startling and long-awaited conclusion to Lois Lowry's epic tale culminates in a final clash between good and evil.
