1) what exactly do you mean by "PO" (sorry if that's a stupid question, I think you mean "Private Owner" ie the seller, but want to make sure).
Hi Charlie,Thanks for sharing the story about IL trying to overtax you, and glad to hear they failed... :-D I've been hearing a lot of stories about bankrupt states trying to do that one way or the other, and all of them are terrifying.Just a few questions:1) what exactly do you mean by "PO" (sorry if that's a stupid question, I think you mean "Private Owner" ie the seller, but want to make sure).2) so you just sent IL a copy of the bill of sales, and they stopped harassing you? Or did you have to do anything else?Thanks in advance for the clarifications,-- Vall.
Not sure how it works in the USA, but here in Ontario we can search the title at the dmv. You want to make sure there are no liens against the mh before handing over any cash. If there is a lien against it, it must be paid off to the lien holder, before they release the title. Otherwise, if the seller doesnt pay off the lien, the bank or lien holder can come and retrieve THEIR asset and leave you having to sue the seller to get your money back. Luckily as stated, we can just go to our motor vehicle office and get a sellers kit, which states any liens registered against the vehicle.
Very good point. I am assuming that in the USA, it's the same for RVs as cars. The lien holder holds the title. In order for the title to be transferred to me, the lien holder, or seller if there is no lien, has to sign and transfer the title over to me. So if the seller is currently holding the title, can I assume there is no lien???
If there is a lien holder he will be holding the title, not the seller. All the seller will have is a registration slip which will list both the seller and the lien holder.
That is not the system in all states Tom. In my state, I have the title but it shows a lien making it non-transferable until the lien is released. The lienholder will issue a letter showing the lien to be released to the current title holder so it can be transferred legally to the new buyer. I get a new registration slip every time I get new plates - 2 years.
Well then the title you have is not the title.
Untrue statement Tom. Different states have different rules. You can post and argue that you are correct on that statement, but in the end you will be wrong.
In California the lien holder has possession of the title and the registration lists the lien holder information.When the lien is satisfied, the lien holder processes with the DMV and you are sent the title in only your name. I think you are sent a new registration with only your name as well, but memory eludes me.
we are going through this right now here in San Diego... bought a La Palma from a private party in Menifee Cal and had to go to his credit union with a cashiers check so he could pay off his loan.... only problem we had was the credit union wouldn't accept a cashiers check and stated nothing could be done till the check cleared, which it did three days later...they then said it would take 7-10 days, but didn't say working days, for DMV to send the title back to the owner... this is known as the pink slip.,.. we pick up the MH on Wed at which time he signs the title over to us...we then are required to register it in our name with DMV...

Do you still think you can fix this? You change your domain but google always catches it.
That´s exactly i wanted to ask.
It´s sad reading what you are saying ... i wish they can fix it !
The administrator which I talk to, had severe case of pneumonia and pleurisy. He is recovering from it, that's why I am not bugging him with a lot of messages. If you people send message to support, that would be better instead of forums!
oh, sorry about hearing that
I hope he get well soon! i didnt know that.
BTW i sent mail to support today.
Lets wait !

Contrary to all of the misinformation and posts claiming the sky is falling, the truth is far from this dramatic.
Linkbucks is undergoing ownership change. There are more hiccups than expected but rest assured all the money you earn is still there and we're not going anywhere.
One of our admins was very sick recently as noted but currently the issue is a matter of waiting for the new integration.
We've been paying for 13 years and that's not about to change so no need to overreact. Your loyalty and understanding is appreciated.
Also, users claiming we're ripping them off are actually attempting to rip us off. One user here recently claimed his traffic is legit but his proxy rate was near 60% and his 'skip ad' rate was literally 0.00%. What happens is they send fake traffic which we CANNOT charge advertisers for. So we don't make money off fraudulent traffic and therefore can't pay fraudsters. We want publishers happy and sending traffic. It is not in our interest to limit accounts for no reasons since ongoing LEGIT traffic earns us money.
Your work is very good and I appreciate you and hopping for some more informative posts. Thank you for sharing great information to us. https://www.smartallabout.com

The Membership Relations Committee is happy to showcase some ArkGeo Geocachers through the "Geocacher Profile". The committee thought Candace Dulaney aka cddulaney should be the next cacher to be in the spotlight.
What is your geocaching name? cddulaney
How did you choose your handle? It is my name... I didn't know I was supposed to be all sly about it.
How long have you been geocaching? I found my first cache on 12-24-2011.
How did you find your first Geocache, and which one was it? A friend had told me about geocaching... and I was on my way to visit that family... so I loaded and joined up on my phone... my first cache was Citizen Kane - GC1WMWD.
Who usually goes with you when you go caching? Oh heck... my boyfriend... a friend's kid - mgr98... the Garrett family... lately mfs911 has been my caching pal... and I don't mind going solo.
How long will you work on puzzle caches before you give up? Right... I don't... it seems that I don't have the patience nor the brain power.
What town/areas have you most enjoyed caching in? In Arkansas... everywhere... I like finding the cache that is hidden in plain sight... right in the middle of a busy city.... I like finding the ammo can out in BFE... and I absolutely love finding a cache in an old out of the way cemetery... I suppose I am truly addicted... I like caching everywhere!
Do you do paperless caching? yes... paperless... most of the time I just use cgeo on my phone... the only times I make a paper copy and use my GPS is when I don't have signal or I'm out of the country.
What kind of geocaching rig do you use? my Samsung Galaxy phone... my Garmin e-trex 10... and my truck
Why would you recommend anyone else to take up geocaching? Geocaching will get you off the couch and out of the house... if you try it a few times, and especially if you go with an experienced cacher, you will see things and go places that you would otherwise never experience.
Where are you originally from? I was born in Riverside, California... I've lived all over the United States.
In what states have you geocached? Arkansas... Nevada... Florida... Alabama... Indiana... New York... Mississippi... Oklahoma... Missouri... Kentucky
What was your first event ever attended? It was 1-30-2014... GC4X2Z9... the January CAGE event.
How many caches have you found? 1480
Which type of cache container do you prefer over the rest? An ammo can is always nice... The kid in me likes going through the swag... The cache that takes me to an old cemetery that time and progress is slowly forgetting... The cache that stays hidden in plain sight with all the hustle and bustle all around it... and it doesn't matter the size or location... I like to read the logs... especially the older ones.
What was the most famous cache that you have found? Gorilla Stash GC1B
Do you use disposable batteries or rechargeable batteries? rechargeable
Do you enjoy hiding or finding more as your part of the hobby? Finding... without a doubt... but it is really nice to read a log where someone has written that they enjoyed your hide.
Do you have a personal goal in mind when you make a hide? Not always... sometimes a location just needs a cache. I have this little music series that I'm building... The artist is the cache name and the cache is the song title... I like doing those... It isn't always easy to make a cache that equals a song title.
What is your favorite type of cache hide? The ones in my music series, I guess the answer to the question is that I don't have a type preference.
What do you think the proper hide to find ratio should be to keep the sport fresh? I'm not sure... I'm probably way behind, whatever it is... If you can maintain them... keep hiding them... but my number one rule is that this is not a job... finding or hiding... It has to stay fun.
How did you end up getting into this wacky hobby? Some friends joined us on a vacation trip in Florida... One of them pulled up this list on the phone... and their daughter had this little keyring animal with a numbered tag attached to it... She said that they wanted to drop it off while they were in Florida... It's goal was to go to different beaches... That was the seed... A few months later I was looking for my own smilies... My first was on the road to visit these same friends.
What's your favorite geocache? Oh my goodness... I'm not sure I can pick just one... I love Zonkey GC25WE6... What once was... Throwback Thursday GC62WFN... There are so many that I have just really truly enjoyed... I can't name them all here.
If money was no object, where would you like to go geocaching? I would cache in every country.
Do you like geocaching by yourself or in a group? Typically a group is more fun... always nice to share the experience with people you like.
How many First to Finds do you have? I have no idea.
Are you a First to Find person who is always set on go and if so, how many miles out do you have your settings on to get notifications? Maybe not... I don't know how many I have... I think my notifications are set to fifty miles.
Do you have any other hobbies besides geocaching? I like to travel around a bit... camping is good... fishing too.

MILWAUKEE — Baseball has become the foremost international game, and it's got the numbers to prove it.
The commissioner's office released its annual breakdown of major league rosters this week, and it revealed 231 players who were born outside the United States. That's 27.7 of big league players, counting those on rosters and disabled lists.
The hottest hotbed for talent outside the 50 United States? That would be the Dominican Republic, homeland of 86 major leaguers. Next on the list is Venezuela at 58, Puerto Rico (21), Japan (14), Canada (13) and Mexico (12).
The Rockies have more foreign-born players than your typical major league team, a reflection of, among other things, their much-improved scouting system in Latin America. It's that system that produced Ubaldo Jimenez (Dominican Republic), Franklin Morales (Venezuela) and Manuel Corpas (Panama).
The Rockies have 10 foreign-born players on their roster and disabled list. The rest of the group includes Jeff Francis (Canada), Jorge De La Rosa (Mexico), Esmil Rogers and Miguel Olivo (Dominican Republic), and Carlos Gonzalez, Melvin Mora and Rafael Betancourt (Venezuela).

Previous media releases
UBS re-confirms Group third quarter pre-tax loss in line with CHF 600 - 800 million range given on 1 October 2007
UBS confirms the expected pre-tax loss and gives a business outlook for the fourth quarter.
A media report over the weekend has suggested that UBS may face additional writedowns in trading positions related to the US sub-prime residential mortgage-backed securities market.
Although UBS will release quarterly results tomorrow, it would like to re-confirm that it will report an overall group loss that is within the range of CHF 600-800 million given in the announcement on 1 October 2007.
UBS would also like to state that the fourth quarter has started with good results from all businesses, including the Investment Bank. However, the FICC business remains exposed to further deterioration in the US housing and mortgage markets as well as rating downgrades for mortgage-related securities, which could lead to further writedowns on the positions. As a result, UBS is not assuming that the quarter will continue as positively as it has begun, or that the current difficulties will be resolved in the short term.
UBS will provide additional comment on its third quarter results and outlook tomorrow by live webcast at 9 a.m. Central European Time (CET). The results webcast will be broadcast on www.ubs.com/investors. The press release will be issued at 7 a.m. CET.

- In the hallway between the wells area, look for a Skulltula on the wall.
- Above the well where you found the previous Skulltula is another sitting on the ground by the well top.
Fire Temple
- (Floor 1) In the room with the large pool of lava and a bridge, free the Goron prisoner and look for a Skulltula behind him.
- (Floor 3) Before doing this, make sure you find all the bomb-able walls in the huge room with all of the Lizalfos (where the rolling boulders are in the non-Master Quest). One secret area has some spiders behind it which you can hear through the wall. Bomb the wall and hit the switch to raise a bunch of grapple points. One platform in this room has a grapple point and a crack in it. Stand here and play the Song of Time. Climb on the blue block using the raised grapple point and use the Hookshot from there to get to the elevator the leads to Floor 4. Make your way up to Floor 5. Here you'll find a room with a rusted switch that raises grapple points. Hit it with the Megaton Hammer. Hit the non-rusted switch to dissipate the fire and Hookshot up to it to move the block and reveal a Skulltula.
- (Floor 3) In the large room with the many poles and fire walls (where you knock the large block down to boss room entance), jump across to the square platform the holds the large block. Jump from here to the door ledge. Don't enter the door up here (that leads to the central area in this round chamber), but get near it and play the Song of Time. This will make a blue block appear. Climb the blue block and leap off it to clear the row of fire walls. Enter the door along the wall here and fight the Lizalfos. A Skulltula is on the back wall of this dead-end hallway.
- (Floor 3) In the large room with the many poles and fire walls (where you knock the large block down to boss room entance), jump across to the square platform the holds the large block. Jump from here to the door ledge. Enter the middle room. Use your hookshot to cross the room to the other side. Hit the rusty switch with the Megaton Hammer. Now, use the the target block by the rusty switch to jump over the fire wall to get to the lower area. Here you can bomb a lighter-toned wall to reveal a Skulltula.
- (Floor 4) This is just past the room with the staircase you create with the megaton hammer. Here is a mini walkthrough for how to get there: After beating the fire dancer after the room with all the flame walls (that houses the above two Skulltulas), look under the elevator for a key. Take the elevator up and use the key. In the large room, don't try to beat the timer by running around the room. Use the Scarecrow Song to make Pierre appear and get to the key. Now, knock the face block near the button down with the megaton hammer. Fight the Stalfos and enter the next room. Here you need to hit a face block that causes a bunch of stairs to fall into place. Hookshot the face above these stairs. Continue to the next room to get the Skulltula.
Ice Cavern
- One room has both a Heart Piece and a Compass inside it, along with a Skulltula encased in red stuff. Play the Song of Time on the ledge and once again on top of the block. Climb the blue blocks to the Skulltula and melt it with Blue Fire.
- In the largest ice chamber, look for a crystal switch on the ceiling of the entrance area. This will reveal a Skulltula on the floor under the ice block it removes.
- (Requires Scarecrow's Song) In the largest ice chamber, play the Scarecrow's Song on the north ledge. Hookshot up to Pierre to get to the Skulltula on the wall.
Water Temple
- (Requires Fire Arrows, Scarecrow's Song) On Floor 1, head through south door. Keep going to the southmost room and use Fire Arrows to light the torches along the back wall. This opens a gate with a Pierre spot. Play the Scarecrow's Song and use the Longshot to reach Pierre on the platform. The Skulltula is here.
- In the room with all of the whirlpools, look for a Skulltula midway through the room. Clamber up onto the Hookshot column and use the Longshot to get the Skulltula.
- You need the Scarecrow's Song and possibly the Fire Arrows for this one. Drain all the water. On Floor 1, head through north door. Hookshot past the spikes and enter the door. In the next room, with the large pool, play the Scarecrow's Song and use the Longshot to reach Pierre on the right. Head towards the waterfall and following the submerged path to a door. Enter the door and roll into boxes until you get a key. Use this on the locked door near Pierre. In the new room, hit the crystal switch and use the water spouts to get in the middle of the torches. Light them with Din's Fire followed by Fire Arrows. This opens a room witha bunch of Dodongos on two levels. Kill the Dodongos. Head through one more door to find the Skulltula under a box.
- Raise the water level to the middle position and head up to Floor 2. Step on the switch on the south ledge and follow the path to the gate. Use Din's Fire to kill the Skulltula and open the gate.
- Raise the water level to the middle position and head up to Floor 2. Go through the eastern door and get a small crate. Carry this back to the central area and place it on the blue switch on the opposite side of the central column. Enter the western room. Destroy the crate and hit the crystal switch to raise grapple points. Hookshot to the upper room and roll into the crate to reveal the Skulltula.
Bottom of the Well
- In the Map room, hit the foot switch in the leftmost jail cell -- you'll need to go around and bomb the wall on the western side. Go through the new door and move the grave stone to find the Skulltula.
- From the Map room, head to the northeast. Grab the Small Key on the ledge and use it to get into the western room. Kill the Skulltula on the ground in the back of the room.
- In the subterranian area with the Lens of Truth chest, take the westmost path. The Skulltula is on the ground at the dead end.
Shadow Temple
- In the room with the spike stampers and the block you must push under them, look in the jail cells for a Skulltula.
- At the end of the hallway filled with fans, a room with ReDeads has a Skulltula on the wall.
- In the room adjacent to the hallway filled with fans has two Gibdos (mummies) in it. Plant a bomb on the northwest corner to reveal a Skulltula.
- On the far end of the boat sequence, cross the statue and turn around. A Skulltula is on the opposite wall. Use the Longshot to kill it.
- Just before the boss room, check the western side of the boss's antechamber for a Skulltula. It's on the side of an invisible platform. Kill it with the Longshot.
Spirit Temple

Thanks for the free stuff, Brooklyn!
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I'm been sucked into a blackhole of work and wedding planning.. one more month and things will finally be back to normal! Anyway, I thought some of you may enjoy this via my other blog, Thersic:
Things have been pretty chaotic around here recently, made especially so with the endless DIY wedding projects we've been working on. I don't know what crazy frame of mind we were in when we decided to take all of it on, but here we are finding, baking, printing, and constructing everything from our invites, to lighting, to our decorations (w/ the help of dear friends & family, of course!)
Since we're paying for it ourselves, we are trying to stay on a very tight budget.. So when any possible creative freebies come along, we don't hesitate. We decided to pass on a professional florist and keep things simple with a mix of Georgia wild flowers and a couple of our personal favorites. Instead of buying 100 + vases, we decided to take what Brooklyn itself was offering.. free glass bottles from the 1900-1950s! Want to find out how? Keep reading..

We've used MP39 since the R-12 phaseout, same with HP80. Both work very well, with any oil in short coupled applications. 134A has been nothing but a nuisance with it's low capacity, and my habit has been to remove the 134A and replace it with MP39 when I do repairs on small equipment.
Both however are getting very expensive here in Canada. HP80 is more than double 404A and MP39 is almost three times 134a.
What are you folks using as a drop in replacement? I don't mind using 404A, it seems to work well, but I don't want to use 134A. And I'd need something that isn't oil dependent.

'Wanderlust' Review: A Retreat to Safe But Inviting Comic Ground
Posted on Friday, February 24th, 2012 by Russ Fischer
Wanderlust, from director David Wain (The State, Wet Hot American Summer) and co-writer Ken Marino, outlines and explores a premise that will probably resonate with many people: a young couple, navigating the grind of city life but trapped by their own fears and inadequacies, is forced to leave the city and take refuge with family by dual economic misfortunes.
Well, that part of the premise might resonate. The next bit is perhaps less familiar: the couple's final destination ends up being Elysium, a commune-like community where their frigid inability to relax is cracked and thawed by an ultra-crunchy lifestyle. (Admittedly, the attentions of a couple of sexually aggressive residents doesn't hurt.)
For the most part, Wanderlust isn't a deep character study or a particularly perceptive dissection of human nature. (For something closer to that, see Lukas Moodysson's Together, which was likely an inspiration for Wain.) This is more like seeing the funhouse mirror caricatures of Wet Hot American Summer grown to adulthood. This film doesn't quite celebrate the same sense of absurdity, and doing so — living up to one of the film's own arguments, you could say — might make it more of a keeper. Yet Wanderlust is possessed of a strong enough free spirit that you might want to join its (almost) free-love drum circle just the same. Read More »

MUMBAI: Leading realtors' body Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Association of India (CREDAI) has asked its members to seriously consider selling off maximum inventories by reducing prices.
"The developer community is willing to consider the suggestions made by the Finance Minister P Chidambaram to unlock the value of the unsold stock. We have asked our members across the country to seriously consider the proposal to sell (the unsold stock) in maximum numbers," Credai national president Lalit Kumar Jain said in a statement.
The governing council of Credai had met at Kochi over the weekend where it was decided to consider the suggestion to sell maximum number of housing units by reducing the prices to the extent possible, it said.
Earlier, the developers' apex body had refused to offload the inventories at discounted rates saying that realtors would not be able to reduce the prices as they have invested heavily in the projects.
Meanwhile, Credai has also appealed to the finance ministry to look into the suggestions made by it to revive the real estate industry to rejuvenate the economy slow down, Jain said.
"We are happy at the positive manner in which the ministry has mooted proposals to help the developer community. We are confident that it will also positively respond to the various constructing suggestions made by us," he said.
Credai has made certain suggestions including single window system of clearances to speed up the process, asking banks to reduce rates of interest for projects and buyers as well and create a congenial atmosphere to encourage affordable and mass housing, the release said.
Besides, the realtors' body has also suggested declaring housing sector as infrastructure or industry, provide certain tax exemptions, setting up of a comprehensive realty regulator and to provide special incentives for skill development, among others.

How many of you remember being told that you had tested positive for the antibodies which cause HIV? I remember it like it was yesterday! The results were shocking, nothing would EVER be the same! I was filled with dread, I was filled with shame, and I was filled with fear. Took me a few years to get comfortable in my skin.
And so, as most of us activists/advocates take deeper looks at words, I found a word which is offensive to me, particularly in the HIV platform -- but could very well fit any situation.
The word "infected" bothers me.
Dictionary.com gives these few definitions of the verb 'infected':
- contaminated
- tainted
- corrupted
These are not words most of us would like to be associated with, whatever our medical condition.
I believe that one of the first steps to living a more positive life, begins in how we think about ourselves. We cannot be healthy or begin on a holistic journey, if we think of ourselves as contaminated or tainted or corrupted.
By the same token, if society puts that label on us, it is no wonder they would feel they need to distance themselves from us or place us in boxes which stigmatize us.
The truth of the matter is: I am not tainted. I am not corrupted. Nor am I contaminated.
That being said: neither are you.

How to build a business case for master data management
When you want funding for master data management (MDM) systems and resources, it's all in how you ask.
IT departments need to be all business when requesting funding for master data management (MDM).
Continue Reading This Article
Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
The IT group of Minneapolis-based Carlson Hotels Worldwide knew it needed MDM and customer data integration tools to fix the problems created by having 600 different property management systems at its franchised hotels. But rather than IT simply requesting funding to fix the infrastructure problems, the group went to the business units to discover their issues around inconsistent data, said John Kolodziejczyk, director of IT.
The marketing department wanted to grow its loyalty programs, but couldn't accurately identify and segment customers across multiple databases. Another group wanted to know how many hotel guests were opting for rooms with premium mattresses, but with disparate system coding, it was almost impossible to tell.

When the request for MDM funding went before the board, Kolodziejczyk easily demonstrated how the company's data management problems were limiting business. He was able to show how fixing these problems would enable key business initiatives, like improving customer communication and reporting. Carlson's executive vice president of marketing even championed the funding request, rather than someone in operations. Now, Carlson is implementing IBM's WebSphere Customer Center and Kolodziejczyk has had extra money added to his budget to address more MDM problems.
When establishing the need for an MDM initiative, there are some key steps to follow.
Recognize that MDM is a technique, not a tool
"[MDM] is a set of business processes and technology, not just one or the other," explained Bill Swanton, research vice president with Boston-based AMR Research Inc.
MDM is a technique used to define key business objects, such as vendors, products and customers, consistently and accurately wherever they are used, he explained. MDM software is middleware, implemented so that all systems can use a single source for definitions. The other, equally important part of MDM is data governance, which addresses the business processes that are creating the inconsistent definitions.
Budget for data governance improvements
MDM projects that don't budget for improved data governance will fail, Swanton said. He said that if companies don't address the flawed business processes creating the data problems, implementing MDM software is throwing money away.
Addressing problematic business processes is major part of his MDM project at Carlson, Kolodziejczyk agreed. The company has laid the groundwork by advocating a culture of data stewardship over the last few years, which he expects will make training and processes changes easier to roll out to employees.
Align MDM with strategic business goals
In Swanton's experiences, companies rarely approve MDM as a standalone project. More often, he sees MDM addressed within the scope of another plan. For example, MDM might be approved when companies can't get value out of an existing investment because of data problems. This may be the case in ERP implementations, where data consistency is required to make the system work. MDM is also critical to large data warehousing projects, where inconsistent definitions or multiple names for the same business object become obvious problems when data is consolidated.
"A lot of times MDM is a follow-up investment, to really unlock the value of an investment you already made," he said.
Swanton said another MDM motivator is when a company can't do something it wants to do, like understand its customers, grow sales or provide accurate business reports. Using real-world examples of how MDM can help solve known business problems is a good way to get projects funded, he said.
Find business sponsors
Carlson's IT group made a conscious decision to position MDM as an enabler of key business activities, rather than an important infrastructure upgrade, Kolodziejczyk said. IT explained to potential business sponsors how the technology could help them and brought them on board as supporters. IT didn't even need to prove the potential ROI of their MDM investment, Kolodziejczyk said, because the business sponsors could prove ROI for their own strategic projects enabled by MDM.
"Start with the business. It's never about the technology. Be sure you get the business sponsors and buy-in first, and that you can clearly align what you're doing from a technology perspective to the business," Kolodziejczyk said.
Consider risk and compliance issues
Another way to justify spending on MDM is to quantify the potential risks of data problems, said Malcolm Chisholm, consultant with Holmdel, N.J.-based, AskGet.com Inc.
"Risk management is just as important as cost management," Chisholm explained. In the age of compliance, companies need to consider both the tangible and intangible cost of bad data, he said. While some data problems just increase shipping or mailing costs, other MDM issues, like inaccurate business reports, can have more dire consequences, such as jail time for executives.

This marriage is a flawless, fun farce
Lyric Opera of Chicago presents:
Marriage of Figaro
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Conducted by Sir Andrew Davis
Stage directed by Herbert Kellner
Projected English supertitles by Francis Rizzo
at Civic Opera House through March 27th (more info)
By Katy Walsh
Figaro wants to marry Susanna. Marcellina wants to marry Figaro. Bartolo wants to marry the Countess. The Count wants Susanna. The Countess wants the Count. Cherubino wants everybody. Arias of lust love are in the air!
Lyric Opera of Chicago presents Marriage of Figaro, composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. A four act opera buffa (comedy) performed in Italian with projected English translations. A sequel to The Barber of Seville, the opera is set in the late eighteenth century. Figaro and Susanna want to marry. As servants of the Count, the union must be authorized by him. In addition, the Count may choose to invoke the custom of 'having the bride' before giving her away. The Count is not the only one interfering with Figaro's marriage. Debts and betrayals have followed him from his The Barber of Seville days. Through a comedic series of tricks and twists, love eventually conquers all.
Throughout all four acts, this cast sings and plays well together. It's like watching a group of friends setting up good natured pranks to teach each other a lesson. Leading the playful spirit, Danielle De Niese (Susanna) is an adorable, lively sprite with pitch-perfect, comedic timing. Kyle Ketelsen (Figaro) delivers a solid bass-baritone performance as the ultimate cocky player. Anne Schwanewilms (Countess) laments the loss of her husband's affections in a gorgeous rendition of "Porgi Amor", and later vows to regain his love in "Dove Sono". Within the frivolity of the frenzy of multiple charades, her arias are the quiet moments of true clarity and sadness of love lost. The Countess describes her husband as 'modern: faithless, willful, not so much jealous, as vain.' Mariusz Kwiecien (Count) embodies that description while – being the brunt of the shams – struggling at the same time. Kwiecien delivers his own spectacular aria "Vedro, mentr'io sospiro" with promises of vengeance to the pranksters. Joyce DiDonato (Cherubino) is a woman playing a boy sometimes playing a woman. She's hilarious with her portrayal of a youth; a slave to his strong lustful infatuations. In a smaller role, Andrea Silvestrelli (Bartolo) makes his presence memorable with his booming bass singing. His aria "La vendetta" is magnificent. In particular, in one sequence, Silvestrelli squeezes his huge, rich voice through a series of rapid notes. Amazing.
The Lyric Opera of Chicago has chosen to close its 2009-2010 season with a warhorse. Even to new opera goers, this Mozart's masterpiece has familiar pieces. The overture and a few of the arias are used in movie scores to enhance themes of multiple plots colliding or love loss. The Lyric has cast it perfect and – under the guidance of Sir Andrew Davis at the baton – Marriage of Figaro hits all the right notes for high spirited high-jinx. Highly recommended!
From the first note of the overture to the standing ovation, Marriage of Figaro is a flawless, fun farce!
Rating: ★★★★
Running Time: Three hours and forty-five minutes includes a thirty minute intermission
Note: Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, based on Pierre-Augustin Beaumarchais' play La folle journee, ou Le marriage de Figaro (1784).

(Reuters) - The prospect of eating kale or Brussels sprouts might make some people gag, but a British company is hoping a hybrid mix of the two vegetables called "kalettes" will appeal to taste buds when they start to hit the broad U.S. market this fall.
The tiny, curly-leafed purple and green sprouts are being promoted as the first major new vegetable product since broccolini, a cross between broccoli and the Chinese leaf vegetable kai-lan, was introduced in the United States in 1998.
Though vitamin and mineral-packed kale has become trendy among health-conscious Americans, its marriage with Brussels sprouts in the United Kingdom was a product risk, said David Rogers, sales manager for Britain's Tozer Seeds, which created the hybrid after 15 years of research and development.
"Kale for a long time has just been known as a sheep food, really," Rogers said of its reputation in Great Britain. "For a lot of people, the only time they'll eat Brussels sprouts is at Christmas."
The vegetable was introduced in the U.K. in 2010 exclusively to the up-market Marks and Spencer food chain under the name flower sprouts, and is now moving into other stores. Rogers said it was "catching on" with British buyers although prices are more than 10 times the cost of Brussels sprouts.
"New varieties of fruits and vegetables are introduced all the time, but they're usually minor breeding tweaks that result in better flavor profiles or color," said Ray Gilmer, a spokesman for the United Fresh Produce Association.
Those who have tried kalettes say they have a slightly nutty taste that is milder than kale and less earthy than Brussels sprouts.
"They look like a tiny little head of lettuce on a Brussels sprouts stalk," said Lisa Friedrich, director of marketing for Golden Sun Marketing, the Minnesota company hired to promote kalettes.
Despite the big promotional effort, some Americans have already sampled kalettes, albeit under a different name.
The Tozer seeds have been available for several years in the United States but have been slow to catch on, in part because growers say the vegetable hybrid is labor intensive, heat sensitive and takes almost six months to cultivate.
Nevertheless, some smaller U.S. growers have been selling it as a niche vegetable to the restaurant industry under the names Lollipop kale sprouts and BrusselKale.
"They're saying kalettes is a brand new vegetable. It is a brand new brand name," said John Moore, president of Salad Savoy Corporation in Salinas, who says he has a good relationship with Tozer but will continue marketing his Lollipop kale sprouts.
Small organic grower Rock Garden South in Miami also plans to continue distributing its BrusselKale to food stores in Miami and California.
Tozer is hoping to clear up the confusion by working directly with large growers - mostly in California - settling on the name kalettes, and getting them into U.S. supermarket chains across the country.
"We will have distribution pretty much nationwide in Whole Foods and Trader Joe's by September," said Friedrich.
"Obviously, our preference is to have it all under one name for consumers to avoid confusion. But we understand (that the other U.S. growers) had already started and made headway with their own effort. That's fine with us.""It is a new vegetable," she said. "It will be brand new (this fall) to the majority of customers."

How do you spot a sick fish? Sharon – Romeo, MI
You treat your pets like children so it is easy to understand how upsetting it can be when one of them falls ill or does not feel well. While your children are able to tell you where it hurts, it is a bit more difficult to figure out what ales your fish. For this reason alone it is a great idea to focus on prevention instead of waiting to cure. What can you do to prevent fish illness and how can you tell if your fish may be coming down with something?
Keep your pond clean and healthy by providing adequate filtration, aeration, and regularly cleaning and adding beneficial bacteria to the pond. A DefensePAC® is a great tool to help maintain water quality and a Pond Vacuum cleaning your pond easier and more enjoyable. When performing water changes use Stress Reducer PLUS to detoxify any chemical or heavy metal contaminates in the water as well as reduce fish stress and improve their slime coat which makes them less susceptible to disease. Dosing your pond with Pond Salt will also help improve their slime coat and gill functions further ensuring healthy and happy fish.
If your fish still manage to fall under the weather the will almost always show some inconsistency in their behavior that will give you a clue as to what is going on. When fish are stressed or ill they will tend to be lethargic and less social, often just floating in one area away from your other fish. If they have anchor worm you will see them rubbing on rocks or the wall of the pond which is known as flashing. You can also visually inspect your fish for signs of illness. Deterioration of their fins, mouth or gills can indicate poor water quality or parasites. Look for loose or odd looking scale formations and sores on the body of the fish.
There are three steps to follow to nurture your sick fish back to health. First, since most illness is due to stress or water quality in their environment you will want to provide some temporary relief from the source. Start by performing a 25% water change in the pond to get some fresh water into the system. If only a few fish seem to be affected you may also choose to set up an isolation tank and treat just the affected fish. Next add salt and be sure both the pond or isolation tank has adequate aeration.
Step two is to identify the fish sickness based on their symptoms. Take pictures, examine the fish for and cuts, redness or inflammation in the gills and record their habits. Once you've identified the symptoms you can choose the next course of action which may involve additional medications or treatments.
The final step is to reevaluate your normal pond routines. Go back to see if there is anything you should change to prevent illness in the future. When dealing with sick fish it is always important to focus on preventing issues before they have a chance to ruin your ponding season so you can spend the majority of your season playing with your pets instead of playing doctor.
Pond Talk: What have your experiences been playing doctor? Have you avoided sick pets? How?

Formed in 2006-2007, the organization is a peace based organization for
members of the military who have served in the war, we are focusing on the Iraq & Afghanistan conflicts, however, this foundation is to help all war veterans . We believe the best way to
support our troops is to bring them home now and take care of them when they get here.

Tracy has picked out new subdivisions in which streets will be
named after troops killed in the Iraq war
By John Upton
Tracy casualties of Operation Iraqi Freedom will be honored on street signs in new Tracy neighborhoods.
A 20-year-old City Council policy instructs developers to name at least one street in every new subdivision after a
current or past resident killed while serving in the armed forces.
Sgt. Patrick McCaffrey lived on a Street named after one of Tracy's casualties of' the Vietnam War until he was killed in
Iraq in 2004.
After he found out he was going to deploy, said McCaffrey's mother, Nadia McCaffrey, he said,
"Well, I hope there's not going to be a street named after me" of course, we laughed at the time.
A street named after Patrick McCaffrey will be in the Southgate subdivision, according to Lombardo.
which is being built south of the western end of Schulte Road.
"My grandson is now 12," Nadia McCaffrey said. "He was talking about it this Memorial weekend, and I said, 'Yeah, if
you're patient, we will be able to go into the street that's named after your dad.' He's really excited — he always asks
about it"
A street there will also be named after Sgt. Steven Bridges, who died in December 2003. His mother, Loreta Bridges,
said Thursday she was excited by the news.
Streets in the Yosemite Vista subdivision will be named after Pfc. Jesse Martinez and Lance Cpl. Brandon Dewey.
Yosemite Vista is being built east of MacArthur Drive and south of'Schulte Road.
It will keep Jesse's name and him alive in the town's eyes," Martinez's mother, Jan Martinez, said Thursday.
A street will be named after Sgt. 1st Class Tung Nguyen in Tiburon Village — a 103-home project planned northwest
of the corner of MacArthur Drive and Valpico Road. Kimball Lornes spokesman Bill Stanton said he expects home
construction to begin in Tihuron Village next spring.
Joseph Menusa Lane, near Lowell Avenue and Corral Hollow Road, was named for Sgt. Joseph Menusa after he
became (he first serviceman killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003. Tracy casualties of the war in Iraq will be
honored in new Tracy neighborhoods, following a 20-year-old City Council policy
As the conflict continues in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places, the prevalence of soldiers
coming home with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will become a major concern for our
society. PTSD is characterized by hyper-vigilance, anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks, anger,
emotional numbness, paranoia, depression, and insomnia. Any where from 60 percent of
veterans are diagnosed with PTSD but as many as 55 percent are affected. While the disease
was first named in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, still very little headway has been made
toward treatment in comparison to other mental illnesses. Treatment can be very costly as
medical insurance often do not pay for a sustained treatment. The Veterans Administration,
facing financial strain, cannot provide adequate care for all affected by the disease.
Consequently, a disproportionate number of veterans suffer from ill health, turn to substance
abuse and often end up estranged from their loved ones or unable to hold down jobs,
unemployed. The longer it is left untreated, the harder it becomes for the veterans to recover.
If left untreated, they will become a social liability as they turn to criminal activity or drop out
and become homeless. A retreat center proposed herein can provide a much needed
sanctuary away from distractions and other daily pressures for veterans traumatized by
memories of war to fined peace and healing.
A Soldier's Story
"Within six weeks from returning from a 12 month tour of duty in Iraq, I was diagnosed
with acute post traumatic stress syndrome. I was experiencing depression and
anxiety, and felt very angry. I unfortunately, took this out on my wife and daughter,
who did all they could to be helpful and understanding. But they weren't able to heal
me. I found myself trying to hold the enormity of my pain and the anger inside.
While attending a Veteran's Retreat lead by Vietnam Veteran and Buddhist Monk,
Claude Anshin Thomas, I began to learn how to accept my feelings and not to
suppress or discard them. Through this awareness and meditation exercises, I
began to learn how to control my anger, anxiety and irritability. The time spent with
other Veteran's at the retreat provided a safe environment for me and I was relieved
to see that I was not the only one with PTSD.
This experience was definitely the catalyst to the beginning of my healing process.
This retreat provided me with the tools to learn how to start understanding and
accepting the person I had become as a result of my experience in Iraq. I believe
that all returning Veteran's should be offered a safe place to decompress after
deployment. When I returned from Iraq, I was given one week between living in a war
zone and returning to civilian life. There is no doubt that the Veteran's Retreat I
attended was a turning point in my life."
Stephen L. Edwards, Jr.
Drawing upon palliative treatments such as meditation techniques described by the veteran,
Stephen Edwards, the goal of the Veterans' Village is to create an oasis for healing as modeled
by spiritual leaders like Thich Nhat Hanh and Claude Anshin Thomas.
In the first phase, the Foundation will launch the building of the Veterans' Village complete with
living quarters, conference center, therapy center, recreation and art center, art gallery,
restaurant, and a common dining area. Consonant with the spirit of healing, the retreat center
will be constructed with ecology and energy efficiency in mind. As a self-sustaining community,
the living unit will have organic vegetable gardens, solar energy panels, farm animals, and
possibly its own irrigation and potable water supply. All participants will be expected to play a
role in the upkeep and maintenance of the physical grounds.
Upon completion of the building, the project will enter into its second phase as the Veterans'
Village opens its doors. Health and wellness activities such as exercise and massage, art
therapy, and counseling will be provided by trained staff and volunteers for veterans. The
Village will maintain a core permanent staff (FTE) including doctors, nurses, psychologists,
therapists, a career counselor, accountant, nutritionist, receptionist, and a public relations
representative; along with trained volunteer counselors. Overseeing the coordination of all
activities in the Village will be Nadia McCaffrey. Ms. McCaffrey has training as a nurse, years of
experience offering palliative care for veterans and years in hospice alternative care.
Through referrals from city hospitals, public health offices, other networks such as Iraq &
Afghanistan Veterans, IAVA, VFP, etc..and the VA, veterans will be invited to apply to
participate in the retreat village. With an initial screening for general health and a
psychological assessment, the participants will be admitted into the Village free of
charge. The Village will not be equipped to service those with any serious medical
condition requiring ongoing treatment. Veterans with families may also apply and will be
admitted upon availability of space. The Center will be able to house 100 participants at
any given time so as not to exceed the counselor to participant ratio of 1 to 15. As a self-
sustaining community, the general upkeep of the physical compound as well as daily
duties including cleaning, laundry, and cooking will be handled by the veteran
participants. Applications will be made available in paper or online via Veterans'
Village home web page. Participants may sign up for a week-long retreat or longer
upon assessment. All participating veterans will be eligible to come back for follow up
visits at any time. The Village will make available scheduled as well as walk-in
counselors for any veterans needing to talk. The goal of the Veteran's Village is to
equip individuals with tools necessary to cope and promote continual healing of the self
and a successful reintegration into society. For evaluative purposes, the participants will
be tracked for short term and long term successes. At the core of the healing program
are one-on-one therapy sessions as well as group and family sessions to address
specifically coping mechanisms for living with PTSD. The arts, including writing,
painting, wood carving, gardening, video productions, photography, or music will also
serve as a healing medium. Career and educational assessment and counseling will
also be made available to anyone needing to think about next steps. Wellness activities
include meditation sessions, exercise such as horse-back riding, swimming, jogging or

Both of these men were killed by enemy fire
yesterday June 22, 2004
Last night we loaded their bodies onto a C-130 for the last trip home.
We saw them off as the warriors they are.
The entire Task Force was in two ranks facing each other
as the flag draped coffins were led onto the airplane,carried by the palbearers.
As they past the entire unit, some 200 soldiers, came to attention
and saluted them out of respect, and loss.
After they were loaded onto the plane, the task force dispersed.
Despite being on an airfield you could hear a pin drop.
Not a word was spoken, whether out of grief or reverence I know not.
I am not sure why, but I stood at thedirect rear of the plane and watched
as the loadmaster raised the ramp to seal the aircraft. I did not have a camera
with me, nor would it have been appropriate despite being a moving picture,
but my mind has taken a snapshot of the two flag draped coffins lined up
in the rear of the aircraft.
It is a mental snapshot I will carry with me, and will not forget.
I hope this is the only time we will have to do this. To date there are four men of the 81st
brigade who will not be coming home to their families.
As anyone who has served in the military knows the respect that is due to a fallen
comrade, we gave them nothing less last night.
They have taken their place among our honored dead, who have
given the ultimate sacrifice in answering a call that only they knew the reason to.
Yesterday was not a good day.
