Long Island Business News
Tax Partner Peter Buell is quoted by Long Island Business News in an article about New York State's Property Tax Freeze Credit rebate.
By Claude Solnik
When it comes to property tax rebates (although they're technically being called "credits") for many homeowners, it turns out the check lately has been in the mail.
New York State has been sending checks to cover increases in property taxes on primary residences to taxpayers with incomes up to $500,000 in areas complying with the state's recommended 2 percent property tax cap.
"The total amount credited will be large," said Peter Buell, a partner in the real estate group at Marcum with Long Island operations in Melville. "On an individual basis, some will be larger than others, depending how much taxes were raised."

Due to a major technical problem in one of the three compressors at the Noord-Holland compressor station, this compressor is seriously damaged and unavailable for compression. At this moment BBL Company is, together with the supplier of the compressor, investigating the cause of the failure. Everybody is working hard to solve this problem. The repair time will most probably stretch over a longer period of time.
BBL Company emphasizes that the capacity of the two remaining units is sufficient to meet the contractual obligations, but without the usual spare capacity.
We will keep you informed on this website.

One of my (occasional?) readers is probably curious to find out how well her son behaved today without his parents around...
Well, I'm happy to report that he was a very good boy. It was pretty much like a normal routine Sunday. Dropped him off at the Little Bubbles room, he didn't even make a fuss when we said good bye. After church, we took him with us for lunch with the youths. He ate a small bowl of hor fun and kept himself amused playing with his cars. Some of the youths also helped to entertain him playing car racing on the table.
One thing I admire about Christopher is that he is the tidiest eater compared to other kids his age. When he took a mouthful of hor fun, he used his teeth instead of chomping down with his whole mouth, lips and all. The hor fun had a lot of gravy, so after almost every mouthful, he would reach for his napkin to wipe off the excess gravy from his mouth himself. He would have none of that mess dripping all over his chin and cheeks like most kids.
What a clever boy!

Bloom foster parents embrace children into their homes and love them for the time they have them. They value the child's family connection and provide a safe, caring home until they can return home, be adopted or live independently. Foster parents are not guardians, nor do they have legal custody of a child in their care, but they are an important part of the decision-making process regarding a child's safety, well-being and permanency.
The staff at Bloom ensures you have the support and resources needed to be a successful foster parent. If a child comes to your home needing clothes, toys, a crib or other items, the team at The Bloom Closet helps you find them. When you just need someone to talk to who understands the challenges and demands, our social workers provide the support you need.
Bloom is currently seeking individuals who are willing to open up their hearts and their homes to children who are the victims of abuse, neglect, and tragic circumstances.
We receive more than 170 referrals calls per month from DFCS counties across Georgia. Our program specifically has a need for families who are able to foster infants under 6 weeks of age, sibling groups of 3+, and teens. The Bloom Foster Parenting Program services the following counties: Fayette, Clayton, Henry, Fulton, Coweta, Dekalb, Douglas, Meriwether, Newton, Pike, Rockdale, Upson.

Misconceptions Regarding Surrogacy
Despite gaining popularity and notoriety over the past several years, many people remain a bit in the dark about the surrogacy process. While the list of misconceptions and assumptions about surrogates can be a lengthy one, many of the same fallacies are heard time and time again. Here's a look at the most commonly misunderstood ideas on gestational surrogacy.
Surrogates Steal Babies– Rest assured that in over 1300 births and nearly 20 years, Growing Generations has never had to deal with this situation. Has this ever happened elsewhere in the world? Yes. This is an instance where we say, "It makes the news for a reason." Instances like this are the exception, not the rule. Most surrogate mothers have already completed their families before entering into the world of surrogacy. The truth is that they're just as afraid of the parents refusing the baby as potential parents are of the surrogate refusing to surrender it.
Surrogates Only Want Money- There exists a delusion that a woman choosing to become a surrogate is down on her luck, desperate, and in serious financial trouble. Throw in sensationalized tabloid reports of million dollar surrogacies and you've got the perfect storm for misconception. To the contrary, ethical guidelines require that potential surrogates be financially stable and not on any form of governmental financial aid to even qualify. Further, most surrogates choose to do this independent of the compensation element.
The Surrogate Is the Mother– Many people are unable to comprehend that the surrogate is not biologically related to the child she is carrying. In gestational surrogacy an egg and sperm are joined to create an embryo outside of the body and then placed into the uterus of a woman bearing no maternal relation to that child.
Not My Baby- Not My Concern. Many intended parents worry that a surrogate will not care for herself and their child with the same amount of care that she would care for a child she was carrying for herself. The misconception is that she disassociates from healthy lifestyles and prenatal care since the child is not her own. This is far from the truth. Women who sign up to be surrogates are here because they enjoy pregnancy, and respect how the body creates new life. These are reliable women with enormous amounts of responsibility who can be trusted to treat your developing baby just as good, if not better, than they treated their own.

One of, if not, the greatest musicians to ever grace the earth died this past week. He was a man with a guitar and a song to sing. I'm talking about Riley B. King, know to the whole world as B.B. King. I grew up listening to music other people my age weren't. B.B. King was part of the repituare of music I loved. As a boy, my favs by B.B. King were "Paying the Cost To Be The Boss", "Caledonia", and "Everyday I Have the Blues"; though most peoples fav song by him is the classic "The Thrill is Gone". Most often, when popular musicians of yesteryear pass away, that becomes the moment that the accolades roll in BUT that isn't the case with this blues legend.
Since 1970, well into his amazing career, B.B. King did 200 shows on average until the day he died. Both Rolling Stone and Gibson Guitars named him top 20 best guitar players ever in many of their lists; naming him number 3 in 2003. He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in '87. Along with these great honors, and not to mention 15 Grammys, he also recieved the National Medal of Arts in 1990, the National Heritage Fellowship in '91, a Kennedy Center Honors in '95, a Polar Music Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in '04, a Presidential Medal of Freedom in '06, an Honorary Doctorate in Music from Brown University in '07, and Portland Maine declared May 18th B.B. King day in '08. Wow; what a feeling it must have been to receive such acclaim while you are still around to enjoy it.
Sometimes, you hear many artist being refered to, or referring to themselves, as the greatest musician alive. Now that we live in a world without B.B. King, their dream is a possibility whereas it was only a joke before. He was such a dynamic performer who only got better with time and experience who gave the viewer such a thrill. Now unfortunately, THE THRILL IS GONE. RIP B.B. King.

I am starting a very limited commissions list for 2013. I do not do commissions normally but have decided to do this because there has been some interest.
Here's how this will work:
If interested, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com . I will give you my prices there.
Info about the Commissions pieces:
-Full page 11x17 PENCIL ONLY image
-tight art, not a sketch so this will reflect in the price. These are high end commissions.
-Only taking a list of a few, so if interested, get on my list now.
I will ask that you pay half up front in order to let me know you are serious, and the last half once the art is finished. Shipping not included in my price.
I will be doing head-sketches only at comicon's this year on comic book backing boards or on sketch variant covers but those will only be on a first come, first serve basis. This commission list is for full page images more akin to a cover drawing.
Again, contact me now at email@example.com to get my prices.

Describe a time you miss an appointment
You should say:
- 50 IELTS Speaking Part 2 & 3 Topics 2020 with Model Answers
- IELTS Part 2 Sample: Describe a time you spent a lot of money on something
- Band 9 Sample for IELTS Speaking Part 2: Describe a present you received which was made by hand
- IELTS Speaking Part 2 Band 9 Sample – Topic: Describe an important plant in your country

and say what happened as a result of being late.
Sample Band 8.0+
I can describe myself as a well-organized person. However. I sometimes get late to reach my destination due to several external and internal factors. One such event when I was late in an appointment with my investors was a frustrating experience to me.
Since I was just knee high to a grass hopper, I had a burning desire to set up my own business. Therefore, when I was a senior student, with a view to being given financial support to run my start-up, I had a pivotal date with numerous investors. I highly appreciated that appointment; therefore, I had worked against the clock and buried myself in a mountain of workload, even I must burn the midnight oil to complete my project which would be shown to investors. When the day came, I felt dead tired. You know, I had to make every effort to get up but it was still late 20 minutes when I left my home. Unfortunately, the road suffered from intensive traffic congestion, which is a common scenario in my city. I failed to use different kinds of transport from bus to taxi to escape this crowd. Finally, I reached the location 1 hour later than my scheduled time. Honestly speaking, while the investors showed their sense of anger, I experienced the feeling of panic and I just presented my project with half a heart.
Obviously, I was rejected and I felt extremely disappointed. That was a painful experience to me, and since then I' ve tried my best not to be late for any appointments ever again.
Useful Vocabulary & Expressions
Well-organized (adj) having good organization; orderly and efficient
Knee high to a grass hopper (idiom) very small or very young
Set up (phrasal verb) start a business
With a view to doing something (phrase) with the hope of doing something in the future

Because during my road trip in the United States, I discovered that appendicitis isn't something that just happens to other people! I could never have paid the €20,000 medical bill!
Because without an international insurance certificate, I had no chance of getting my Working Holiday Visa for Argentina.
Because during our year-long world tour, we knew we couldn't rely on French Social Security if we had any medical problems. When we got food poisoning, our international insurance reimbursed all of our medical expenses.
Because I joined the Caisse de Français de l'Étranger before starting my job as an IT consultant in San Francisco. But to be sure of having a good level of cover, I wanted a top-up insurance plan.
Because when we were touring Australia in a van, we were involved in a road accident and repatriated to France. We had no idea that repatriation like that could cost €34,000 ... A lot more than the €12,000 insurance cover provided with our bank card!
2 types of cover for going abroad on a long trip, for a first job, a working holiday programme (WHP) or even a world tour.
Worldwide cover, except excluded countries.

Avon Rises in German Trading on Reports of L'Oreal Bid
Avon's German-traded shares advanced 6.2% from the Oct. 11 closing price in New York to $35.22 at 12:59pm in Frankfurt, Bloomberg News said.
L'Oreal may be lining up a cash bid of more than $44 a share for Avon, The Daily Mail said.
Avon's low debt levels make it an attractive target for potential buyers, UBS analysts said in a research note.
"We would not be surprised if L'Oreal scouted the acquisition trail," the analysts wrote.
Still, not everyone is convinced the deal makes sense. Chas Manso, an analyst at Evolution Securities in London, told Bloomberg News that an offer from L'Oreal is "a low probability event."

Creating a strong framework for employees to solve customer problems or complaints will have a greater impact on your business than nurturing your top group of loyal customers for referrals.
This may sound counter-intuitive. After all, you've probably heard time and again that your best move is to segment your customers and focus on obtaining referrals from your top tier. While nurturing this top group of loyal customers is an important strategy for any business, the way your organization handles problems or complaints has a far bigger impact.
A recent study by the Tempkin Group across a range of industries found that it takes an average of five clients referring your business for you to get one new client. But it takes only two disgruntled customers speaking negatively about your business for you to lose one customer. The result: it takes five client advocates to get one new client, but it takes only two client detractors to lose a customer.
The math is simple, and so is the message.
Shoring up the back end not only saves those customers who have encountered a problem and have one foot out the door, it is an opportunity to turn these customers into your most ardent fans, who are, in turn, more likely to refer customers to you.
[np-related /]
According to research from one of Canada's major banks, when a satisfied customer encounters a problem or issue, there is an immediate and dramatic decline in loyalty. If the problem is handled well, the customer's loyalty increases above his or her original loyalty level. However, left unresolved or handled poorly, the customer's loyalty plummets even further. He or she becomes a detractor for your business.
The research determined that the quantitative difference in loyalty scores is a staggering 45%. The biggest determinant of the score was whether the customer's problem was resolved. It sounds simple but the real issue was that employees thought they were addressing the customer's problem when, in fact, (and according to the customer) they weren't.
This can happen more often than you might think. Employees jump to a solution for the customer; quote company policy back to the customer; or even go for the easiest solution, which is often a fee discount.
The end result is an unsolved problem and a frustrated customer.
There is no one right solution for every customer. However, a good problem resolution framework has three components: (1) acknowledging the problem; (2) being accountable; and (3) asking how the customer wants the problem to be solved. Bonus points are added for over-delivering and really wowing the customer.
Problem resolution: Four key takeaways
Get the facts. Include problem resolution in your customer satisfaction survey and analyze the responses to customer loyalty. In addition, find out how your unit stacks up by conducting a sample test where individuals at different levels are contacted by an alleged customer with a problem. See how they fare.
If there are gaps, consider implementing a framework for problem resolution. This will serve both as a guide and as a statement that good problem resolution is taken seriously within your organization.
Incorporate problem resolution into your culture. The ability to embrace customer complaints or problems at all levels is the mark of a strong organization. Not only are you transforming detractors into promoters, you are gaining invaluable insights into the needs and wants of your customers. If used properly, this information can help you continually enhance your service offering.
Follow up. If you don't measure problem resolution, you can't manage it and, as a result, you will not be able to sustain any of your gains.

Authors: Dongchan Lee
In this paper, the author visually demonstrate the math stagnations of almost all English, German-speaking countries, most Latin American countries, and the top 5 math Eastern Asian countries (the most recent) over the past 12 years (for PISA math) and 20 years (for TIMSS math) and provide the evidence-based solution that can overcome the math stagnations completely within 1 administration using MMU 1 (to raise the worst half math average to the best half math average) or MMU 0.5 (with the half of the capacity of MMU 1). The highlights of the demonstrations are: 1)Virtually all other English-speaking developed countries – have been in deep math EDU growth stagnations or declining (and even declines) over the past 15 to 20+ years (according to PISA and TIMSS). 2)In almost all English and Spanish speaking countries, the reading gains are substantially more than the math gains according to PISA 2015. 3)A set of solution proposal called MMU 0.5 or 1 (roughly boosting the jurisdiction or national math average by 0.6-0.7 Standard Deviation or 1.2-1.4 Standard Deviation respectively) compared to the traditional reforms in Australia, which have failed to bring the concrete math EDU rise for the past 15-20 years at least. 4)MMU1 can raise the national math average boosts equivalent of what takes more than 1 century in most English-speaking developed countries. 5)The counterfactual boost by MMU1 (indicated in yellow arrows) compared to the past 15-20 years of the math EDU declines or saturations of the entire 8 jurisdictions and Australia as a nation. Throughout the presentation, the author put the yellow arrows that indicate roughly the equivalence between the math growths from the math's 25 percentile to 75 percentile, which is the typical MMU1 operation targets. This is to demonstrate that the currently ongoing math stagnations in most of the developed (OECD) countries – not just Australia - have been real and persistent according to the math parts of the PISA or TIMSS or at least the NAEP (the Nation's Report Card) which is the longest-running national assessments of the USA that have participated in all major international math assessments such as TIMSS, PISA and others before them. As such, the yellow arrows are meant to imply the math growths with the hyper-rapid math reforms in just 2-4 years which is totally impossible otherwise by all means in the history of math education. For the average jurisdictions, the MMU-led reforms may take 2-3 years and for the entirety of Australia, this may take 3-4 years, depending on the levels of commitments and collaborations.

People of color who want to work in the tech industry in New York and around the country may face a lot of discrimination. Many tech industry insiders admit that there is a lack of diversity in the industry, and minorities are often discriminated against in recruiting efforts and interviews. Data supports claims of racial discrimination, as major tech companies have very low percentages of nonwhite employees.
Leadership positions at Yahoo, Facebook and Apple are just 1, 2 and 3 percent African American, respectively. At Twitter and Pinterest, there are no African Americans in leadership positions. Women also hold comparatively low percentages of leadership positions in the tech industry compared to men. In 2015, women filled only 11 percent of the leadership positions in Silicon Valley.
Some minorities who have applied for jobs in the tech industry say that they have been told that they are not the right cultural fit. Others say that when they do get hired they are told that they were only hired so that the company could project an image of diversity. A minority who is hired to fill a leadership position in the tech industry often faces backlash from coworkers for hiring other minorities.
If a recruiter or interviewer makes it clear that they are not hiring an applicant because of the applicant's race, the employer may be sued for racial discrimination. An attorney may be able to help a job applicant to file an employment discrimination claim that is based on discriminatory hiring practices. Though these kinds of claims can be difficult to prove if they are based on just one interview, an attorney may be able to find other applicants who can verify that they experienced the same kind of treatment.

ORMs for Sitecore: Glass Mapper and, well, the rest of 'em
Anyone who's been in modern business computing for any real length of time has likely been presented, and in multiple contexts, with the challenge of storing and retrieving object data to/from an underlying data store. Object-relational mapping tools can make this easier and lead to cleaner, more maintainable code–but the devil's in the details of the ORM implementation, as briefly explored below.
One might be tempted to think that any ORM is a good ORM, at least as offering general advantages over naked item access, but in practice this is not always true. I've found that direct API access to items is far more convenient, reliable and maintainable than a badly-implemented ORM. Type safety is not the only measure of maintainability of object-oriented code which access a data store. Efficiency of coding, clarity of the object structure, and ease of maintenance–which cannot be measured by speed of generating a code template in the first place, but must include an assessment of how long updates may take–can be more important on a practical basis.
In general, use of a well-maintained de facto standard such as the Sitecore Glass Mapper will offer many advantages, from the design of the ORM code itself, to less cluttering of the domain model, to decreased ramp-up time for developers new to the team. I've learned this the hard way, and of all home-grown toolsets, ORMs can lead to the most disadvantages long-term, perhaps only rivalled these by badly-written local CMSes. Eventually, one simply has to cut the cord.
Item-wrapping, homegrown ORMs can be tantalizingly easy to write, but lead to drawbacks
At one company a sprawling codebase, put together by different developers over time and using different styles and approaches, included the use of a code generation tool designed to be used as an ORM. The way this tool worked, one would invoke the tool, template data would be loaded, and a basic interface and class file would be generated. One could copy the code into one's working directory and include it in a project. Fields were wrapped for type safety. Easy peasy, right?
Code updates with an item-wrapper-generating ORM, whenever a corresponding structure changes in the CMS, can be a major hassle.
Not exactly. Code updates with an item-wrapper-generating ORM, whenever a corresponding structure changes in the CMS, can be a major hassle. If any changes have been made to the object code since initial auto-generation, updates necessarily involve merging (often manually) a newly-generated code file with the older, customized file, so that crucial information isn't lost.
In my experience, a typically clunky implementation also tends to obscure the natural class and inferface model of the code, introducing clutter and bad design for no reason. So, for example, a typical implementation may have a particular code file, based on a Sitecore template which extends another template, only include that item's fields. "But wait," one may think, "isn't that okay, as long as any inherited templates can be generated as well, and the subclasses linked to parent classes/superclasses?" That is certainly true, except that, regrettably, often homegrown and other badly-done implementations don't do this easily or at all, leaving the developer to create–and reapply in case of changes and code re-generations, commonly leading to time-wasting maintenance errors–those linkages.
In extremely bad cases, where a generated wrapper class contains field ID-name mappings as well, those are not cleanly reflected in the inheritance model; I've seen auto-generated field names hiding ones from inherited classes/templates, i.e. inherited field names not being available on subclasses, obscuring the programming model. In my experience, a naively made ORM may be accompanied by code accessing item fields directly using these names, either through sheer bad programming practice by subsequent developers befuddled by the arrangement, or because of the need to work around limitations of the ORM. And, to cap it all off, direct item and field access may only be available with clunky-looking calls to methods or properties, if at all; and the ORM itself may begin to take on the character of a badly constructed API, where its base classes have loads of badly designed "helper" code.
A main problem with a badly written ORM is that it typically obscures the domain object model, which out of the entire codebase can be the most important to keep clean. By far the best maintainability of ORM-using code results from a tool which can at least keep any mappings outside of the domain model proper, and which ideally leads to a clear, declarative programming style. (In Sitecore, essentially an ASP.NET website providing a C# API, one's thoughts naturally turn to the use of attributes; this is a clear advantage for the Glass Mapper, discussed below.)
The main problem with a badly written ORM is that it typically obscures the domain object model, which out of the entire codebase can be the most important to keep clean.
Unfortunately, the more an old, home-grown ORM is used, the more it may become part and parcel of an entire local codebase, taking major effort to extract. Even worse, developers who created the ORM may become emotionally invested in its continued use, resisting change. In all cases it is, in my experience and opinion, best to nevertheless adopt a more modern approach. Otherwise, the technical debt simply continues to increase over time, spread over many deliverables where it is not easy to track.
The Custom Item Generator: somewhat better, but only just
The Sitecore Custom Item Generator is a free module available on the Sitecore Marketplace, which essentially takes the item-wrapping approach described above, but is of higher quality than typical homegrown item-wrapping ORMs in my experience. When I first began working with Sitecore, it was on a codebase making extensive use of the Custom Item Generator, and at least it did not involve a steep learning curve.
The CIG was also implemented at a time when the Glass Mapper was not available, and in an honest attempt to make life easier for developers, so it's best viewed charitably. Still, it offers many drawbacks which need not be explored to death here, but again notably include the need to manually regenerate classes in case of Sitecore data model changes, and then manually merge the updated auto-generated code with any customizations in the codebase. I've actually seen code making direct item access which was cleaner and more maintainable than CIG-using code; especially with a well-written set of extension methods, item access can actually be fairly simple and straightforward, and essentially self-documenting.
Writing the C# code for a cleanly designed class and interface model is typically the least of a developer's worries, and usually involves a negligible amount of time.
There are other code generation tools which work with Sitecore items, such as Hedgehog TDS Code Generation. They essentially work by accessing a template via the Sitecore API, then generating a corresponding C# code file, and as such may be seen as helpful in initially generating interfaces and classes. However, these tools should not be confused with the advantages of an ORM, and can still offer drawbacks such as necessitating merges with updates. Writing the C# code for a cleanly designed class and interface model is typically the least of a developer's worries, and usually involves a negligible amount of time.
Enter Glass, the greatest thing since sliced bread
The Sitecore Glass Mapper was written with all of these past shortcomings in mind, and designed to eliminate them. Sliced bread's pretty great, but can it magically pull up item data from Sitecore (or Umbraco) and map field data to type-safe properties, and support looking up related item data with a declarative syntax, while preserving your clean object model and isolating it from rework in case of changes to the data model? No sandwich can do such a thing, no matter how cleverly made.
The benefits of Glass are fairly well-documented at the project's site, and thus I won't exhaustively get into them here (and though the documentation used to be a bit outdated in parts, it's undergone an upgrade).
On one large project I recommended adopting Glass for new development, where previous Sitecore work had used the Custom Item Generator. This particular project featured a fairly detailed set of classes and corresponding set of templates and branch templates, to simplify creating a new instance of a particular structure, which would happen on a frequent basis. Elements within the subtree needed to be able to refer to each other at their relative locations, as well as data in a shared global area.
On that project and others, the ability to use Sitecore Query expressions in Glass attributes simply worked wonders. It became a snap to wire the entire object structure together and pull the data up correctly, without the need for custom development; the work of generating the object structures in memory became as simple as declaratively including a few paths, which again made the project nearly self-documenting. Providing reusable functionality with the use of a base Glass class and extension methods was a snap. Especially in this project's read-heavy typical use pattern (which, let's face it, underlies the entire architecture of a web CMS like Sitecore), the Glass Mapper's caching support worked well too. Work has now also been done toward letting users optionally pull Glass data from a Lucene index.
I saw first-hand the massive improvements in ease of maintenance and overall code simplicity that an ORM like Glass offers…
On that first large project using Glass, I saw first-hand the massive improvements in ease of maintenance and overall code simplicity that an ORM like Glass offers when compared with item-wrapping approaches. Since then I've run across occasional situations where Glass loading code would fail to locate a class across boundaries, such as within a WCF service, but each time the problem was straightforward to understand and solve, so I consider Glass to have relatively few drawbacks. Anyone implementing Sitecore for the first time would do well to investigate the Glass mapper.

Whatever the future may hold, the fact remains that the GX 1L is an outstanding camera for anyone looking for an introduction to digital SLR photography. One massive advantage that it shares with the DL2 is compatibility with every Pentax lens ever made, including older screw-mount fittings and even medium-format lenses via adapters. Pentax has been making SLR cameras for a very long time and its optics have a reputation that is second to none, so there are thousands of top-quality lenses and other accessories in circulation in the second-hand market. There are also many third-party manufacturers that make lenses to fit the Pentax mount, so building up a good semi-pro kit won't cost an arm and a leg, certainly an important consideration for anyone just starting out.
I awarded the *ist DL2 very high marks in my original review, and I have no reason to change my mind just because of the change in the maker's name. The GX 1L has excellent build quality, with a tough polycarbonate body on a strong but lightweight alloy chassis. It is smaller and lighter than many other digital SLRs, but due to its relative simplicity the control layout is clean and uncluttered. It has a chunky sculpted handgrip with a textured rubber insert, making it secure and comfortable to hold, and thanks to the weight of four AA batteries inside the handgrip it feels nicely balanced.
As I stated in my review of the DL2, the feature set of the GX 1L is definitely aimed at the consumer end of the market. It has more in common with a high-end consumer compact than a full-on professional SLR. The main mode dial on the left of the top panel has the same program modes you'd expect from a compact, including portrait, landscape, macro, action and night portrait modes, and there is also a Scene mode offering a further eight menu options, including night scene, surf & snow, text, sunset, kids, candlelight, museum and pets. Like the DL2, the GX has a strange option to change the icon for the pet mode from a picture of a cat to one of a dog. It doesn't change the settings for that mode, just the icon image. I really have no idea why (that's coz you don't have cats Cliff, they take offence easily – ed.).

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a final rule which, among other things, amends the timing of the annual Health Insurance Marketplace ("Marketplace") open enrollment period for the 2018 plan year and modifies the rules for Marketplace special enrollment periods.
New Individual Marketplace Open Enrollment Period
The final rule changes the dates for open enrollment in the individual Marketplace for the 2018 plan year to November 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (consistent with the open enrollment period dates previously established for plan years starting in 2019 and beyond).
The previously established open enrollment period for the 2018 plan year was scheduled to run from November 1, 2017 through January 31, 2018.
Accordingly, this change will require individuals to enroll in coverage prior to the beginning of the year, unless they are eligible for a special enrollment period.
Modifications to Individual Marketplace Special Enrollment Periods
The final rule also makes the following modifications to Marketplace special enrollment period rules:

John Zorn's Masada Marathon in Milan was phenomenal
Milan was a total blast!
Although it ain't easy to mix 12 bands in one evening and deal with 11 stage changes and 60 channels of continuously changing audio with dynamics that range from classical strings solos to seven piece metal bands, but such is the incredible variety of Zorn's body of work and honestly it is right up my alley. I love his music and all the variety so much that doing a show like this goes by very quickly and I enjoy every minute of it really!
Can't wait for the next one.
Here's two pics of the stage at its least mic-busy and least people-crowded moment.

When Not to Use Cushions. Cushions are no so great for seats in calacatta classique quartz countertops q premium natural. To decorate a white kitchen, you want the cloth and the shape of the seat to be bold. If you'd like the seat to be comfortable, of course you are able to add cushions. But make it rather thin and remember to not layer the back with cushions too. If you'd like a more casual and laid back setting, you are not going to need chair cushions for your kitchen seats.
