Automation has coalesced into two major factions called Puppet and Chef. There are a number of other notable projects with readable names like Ansible and unreadable names like Bcfg2, but Puppet and Chef seem to have gathered the most excitement for now. Both are open source stacks of code designed to make it easy for you to reach out and touch the files in your vast empire of virtual machines. Both have open source marketplaces for you to swap plug-ins that extend the framework and handle your particular type of hardware or software. Both are pretty cool, and both are finding homes in the racks of data centers around the world. Both now have companies built around the open source core selling assistance.

Amber Lindahl: Palm Beach All-County Class 6A-5A-4A softball Player of the Year
Park Vista senior
Jane Sallen of Grandview Prep (left) and Amber Lindahl of Park Vista High are the Palm Beach County Softball Players of the Year. (Jim Rassol, Sun Sentinel / May 23, 2010)
Amber Lindahl
Park Vista, senior
Position: Catcher
Stats: .482 BA, 31 RBI
Of note: Had 41 hits this year and 11 went for extra bases. She hit two home runs, had seven walks and struck out just six times in 85 at bats. Set school records last season for most RBI in a year (41) and highest batting average in a single season (.520) and is headed to the University of Memphis on softball scholarship.
Athlete's comment: "I felt we had a young team, but we accomplished a lot with what we had. We were the definite underdog against Palm Beach Gardens [in districts] until losing to them in extra innings. Skill-wise I would probably hope that people will remember me for my hitting and my catching behind the plate.''

Farewell to Edinburgh
And so the curtain falls on a wonderful Edinburgh experience with The Drowsy Chaperone. Huge thanks to everyone who came to see us, helped us along the way and supported us from afar. We couldn't have done it without you.
We had an amazing Fringe Festival experience - from flyering and performing on the Royal Mile, to the standing ovations we received at the performances. We loved it all; and hopefully it'll be something we'll be able to repeat in the not too distant future!
In the meantime, it's back to the real world of day jobs... and, of course, our next show, Parade!
Avenue Q NODA review
Hands up who likes reading lovely show reviews? Well, we certainly do! And fortunately, the NODA review for our latest production, Avenue Q, doesn't disappoint!
Steve Macvicar, our NODA rep, made some lovely comments about the show, including:
"I was blown away by the genuine quality"
"I also sensed a feelgood factor around the production which emanates from an upbeat show with killer performances, which this show had in abundance."
And, of our director, "Katy Goddard moulded the action superbly."
Take a look at the full write up here.

Box office open for Parade
The wait is over! The box office is now open for our production of Jason Robert Brown's brilliant musical, PARADE, which takes place from Wednesday 1st to Saturday 4th October at Putney Arts Theatre (Ravenna Road, Putney).
Parade is the tragic, true story of the trial and lynching of a man accused of murder, and includes haunting and beautiful songs performed by a talented Cygnet cast.
Performances are nightly at 7.45pm, with a 2.30pm Saturday matinee. Tickets are £16 (£13 concessions) and can be bought either online, or via the Cygnet Players box office on 07941 448 689.
So book now to reserve your place, and transport yourself back to 1913 Georgia and make your own mind up: guilty, or not guilty?
Legally Blonde: the SW London premiere
Omigod, omigod you guys… we have the most amazing news for you! Cygnet Players are hugely excited to announce that we'll be performing the SOUTH WEST LONDON AMATEUR PREMIERE of the Broadway and West End smash hit musical, LEGALLY BLONDE, at the Putney Arts Theatre in September 2016.
After a successful stint on Broadway, three years in the West End, and a national tour, plus an armful of awards, Legally Blonde is hitting Putney!
And we're probably as shocked as anyone about getting the rights to this great show – because at first it looked like we weren't going to. But what a great surprise – and what a fantastic show!
Elle Woods can handle anything. So when her boyfriend, Warner, dumps her, she decides to follow him to Harvard Law School and win him back. With some help from newfound friends Paulette, Emmett and her chihuahua Bruiser, she learns that it's so much better to be smart.
This all-singing, all-dancing romantic comedy is about knowing who you are, and showing what you've got – and we can't wait to bring it to a stage near you!
Announcing our new partner
We are delighted to announce that we have secured a show sponsor for our next four shows - letyano Ltd.
letyano have developed a new app for smart phones that allows users to give instant feedback on a service or product they've experienced, in return for a reward. The company is targeting SW London and they see Cygnet Players as a great way to spread the word about their service and encourage people to download and use the app.
In return, we've negotiated a good sponsorship deal and we'll also be set up as a client on the app. This will allow our audiences to fill out a quick questionnaire and give us feedback on the show they're seeing that night. It should give us valuable information on who our audiences are and what they think about the quality of our shows - which will of course help us to make our future shows even better.
This deal will give Cygnets added financial security and, together with our company sponsor, ABC Selfstore, puts the company in a strong position going forward.
We would love it if you could spend a few minutes to download the app now and see what rewards are available for you in your local area. The app is free and typically clients include local bars, coffee shops and restaurants. As the business grows, more and more rewards will become available.
You'll be seeing the letyano logo on all our publicity going forward, so look out for it, and please spread the word to any friends and colleagues who might also be interested.

"The whole production was slick, well performed and of a very high standard."
"It was a fantastic show, I want to book another ticket and come see it to laugh all over again!"
Steve Rikard
Sardines Magazine Review
"Your audience were in stitches regularly and this is not just because of the quality of the material but because of the quality of the delivery."
"Congratulations to Ian Ward for directing such a tight production."
Stephen Macvicar
NODA Review
"The cast were very strong and executed well both script and score with much skill and aplomb."
"It is difficult to get the balance right with this show between the drama and the comedy/pantomime and I thought you achieved the balance pretty much perfectly."
Stephen Macvicar
'I have to say at this point that this production is one of the best non-professional I have ever seen! Finding fault was very nigh on impossible as the cast were of a very high standard and to give nothing away, provided us with a lead performance that was pure excellence.'

This was a fantastic flash for Lock Day 2007 though the concept of it was a bit disturbing with every Lock getting killed it was pretty funny how it all happened,the animation was fantastic with the quick framerate and the well detailed character designs also the script was hilarous too and overall this was one of the best contributions for Lock Day 2007.

some more tips:
1) with the turrets on the second tier (purple & red) you are just in range to damage enemies who try to cap the graveyard, interrupting the capture cast.
2) don't drive your demolisher right to the center of a gate. instead, go ram the wall to the left or right, just under the balcony of the turrets, so only one turret can hit you (turrets have a dead spot below)
3) as a caster, hop on a vehicle and sheep / fear / root anything that comes close, you are immune while on the vehicle. when at the gate, you are in a perfect position to quickly nuke down one of the turrets.
btw, first?
Jessierockeron said...
actually turrets can't even turn all the way to hit you when ure at the door.

Two people were killed and three others were injured after an argument escalated to a gunfight on New Year's Eve.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A suspect is under arrest in connection with a New Year's Eve shooting at a bar in the Old Sacramento area that killed two people, police said Tuesday.
The 22-year-old was among three people wounded Monday evening after a shooting that occurred as people gathered to watch fireworks to celebrate the New Year, authorities said.
The suspect's injuries and those to a security guard and a 30-year-old woman are not life threatening.
Police say it started as an argument inside the bar at about 9:38 p.m. Monday that escalated and became a physical confrontation. When an employee tried to break up the fight, he was shot, as were the woman and another man.
That man, 35, and the employee, who was in his 20s, died at the scene after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.
Authorities say an armed guard near a side door at the bar heard the gunshots and got into a gunfight with the suspect and both were wounded.
The armed suspect ran out of the bar toward a street crowded with holiday revelers but was caught quickly by officers chasing him, police said.
Police are not identifying the suspect because of the ongoing investigation.
Afterward, police canceled the midnight fireworks show that was expected to draw as many as 40,000 people.

Think Like a Rock Star Workshops
Does your company want to learn how to better connect with its fans and leverage those connections to grow your bottom line? Do you want to learn how to create content that resonates with your customers and how to create programs that connect with them directly? Then a Think Like a Rock Star Workshop is for you. These sessions will deep-dive into how to create a fan-centric brand, and how to leverage the power of your existing fans as a channel to grow your business.
Think Like a Rock Star Workshops can be fully customized in scope and length from 2 hours to 2 days. Here's an example of how a 3-hour (Half-day) workshop could be structured:
First Hour: Overview of how Rock Stars connect with fans, and what brands can learn from applying these same methods to their own efforts. We'll examine the Four Reasons Why Rock Stars Have Fans Instead of Customers and cover multiple case studies that show how both rock stars and brands are using these tactics to cultivate fans.
Second Hour: We'll get into understanding who your fans are, and how they differ from your regular customers. We'll then focus on engaging with angry customers online, and converting them into fans of your brand. We'll also cover how to structure fan/blogger/influencer outreach programs.
Third Hour: We'll cover how to structure your company or organization so you can better connect with your fans. We'll talk about how to connect with your fans, how to get feedback from them and distribute it internally, and how to create teams to connect directly with your fans. We'll also cover how to create and structure a Brand Ambassador Program, and how that can connect with your existing efforts to connect with your fans.
The Think Like a Rock Star workshops can be fully customized to fit your organizations needs. For example, if you want to do a 2-hour workshop and focus on how to create a fan-centric content marketing strategy and on how to conduct a blogger outreach campaign, those topics will be covered more extensively. Your needs will be factored into the structure so that only the areas that you need help with are covered.
If you would like to get a custom outline for your proposed Think Like a Rock Star Workshop as well as a custom price quote, please email me.

Doing A D'Agata
on John D'Agata and Jim Fingal's The Lifespan of a Fact.
Blackboard courtesy of Nieman Journalism Lab
A project of the Nieman Foundation at Harvard
John D'Agata and Jim Fingal
The Lifespan of a Fact
W.W. Norton & Company, February 2012. 128 pp.
A writer colleague, referring to a document she had written, confessed: "I totally D'Agata'd this." I couldn't help laughing. But her comment was unsettling because she meant that she had fudged her story, made some of it up. And I suspected that the man behind the reference, John D'Agata, co-author of the book The Lifespan of a Fact, would be pleased.
The book's backstory begins in 2003: D'Agata had written an essay on assignment for Harper's Magazine about a teenager who committed suicide in Las Vegas. Harper's rejected the essay because of factual inaccuracies, so D'Agata re-sold it to another magazine, The Believer. Jim Fingal, the co-author of the book, then a 23-year-old intern, was given the opportunity to fact-check the article, and a pack of red pens to help in the effort. He probably used the entire pack — to little effect.
The necessity of fact-checking nonfiction has been discussed and disputed off and on in the publishing world over the past 40 years, usually in the wake of discoveries of inaccuracies or outright deceptions. Clifford Irving, named "Con Man of the Year" by Time Magazine in 1972, sold a fake biography of the reclusive Howard Hughes and spent more than a year in prison for fraud. Six years before the flurry of discussion that has greeted The Lifespan of a Fact, there was the great debate — and much finger-pointing — following revelations that James Frey, author of the best-selling memoir A Million Little Pieces, had exaggerated or simply made up information about his traumatic life. In 2008, Margaret B. Jones's lauded memoir, Love and Consequences, the saga of her biracial gangbanging girlhood in the 1980s in South Central Los Angeles was revealed as pure fiction and "Margaret B. Jones" to be a pseudonym for a white middle-class woman from Sherman Oaks, Margaret Seltzer. The book was trashed by Riverhead, its publisher.
And yet, remember how the US Senator James Inhofe called Michael Crichton in to testify as an expert on climate change based on his NOVEL A State of Fear? I'm not defending D'Agata. My humble opinion on this matter is that it's simple ass-hattery. But I will re-emphasize how disturbing it is when powerful people choose to "believe" whatever facts they feel like.
Our culture's, and perhaps especially our politics', relationship to fact is screwed up. Incredibly screwed up.
Maybe D'Agata is just a self-conscious product of all that.
It all sucks. I think. The culture of anti-intellectualism, and his work as product thereof.
What I wonder is, is he mad about all this controversy? What the hell is he thinking…

I saw him during pregnancy for GD and hypothyroidism and he was great. He made me feel comfortable during every visit, has great bedside manners, patiently answered all our questions. He is very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I had an easy labor and my child was not too huge as is the case with GD mothers. I am still hypothyroid and would continue to see him if my insurance allowed. I certainly recommend him.

Best Player in Europe
New FC Spartak Moskva recruit Nikola Drinčić spoke exclusively to uefa.com about adapting to life in the Russian capital following his move from FC Amkar Perm earlier this month, revealing his dream of winning a Premier-Liga title and playing in the UEFA Champions League. The Montenegrin midfielder, 25, signed a long-term contract with Spartak after three years with Amkar and headed straight to Turkey for a pre-season training camp with his new team-mates.
uefa.com: You had options of staying with Amkar and moving abroad. Why did you choose Spartak?
Nikola Drinčić: I had a number of options to go on with my career, for example in Italy. But Spartak started to show interest in me long ago and made the most concrete proposal. They are a club that always want to be in the Champions League, and that fits my own ambitions.
uefa.com: Amkar finished their season on 29 November so you had plenty of time to rest. Where did you spend your holiday?
Drinčić: At home with my family. I got married last autumn and it's very difficult because I want to be in Belgrade with my relatives, though they understand the situation. When the league starts in March, they will come to Moscow.
uefa.com: How did the team welcome you?
Drinčić: Great! I spend most of the time with goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa, we room together. But other players also welcomed me warmly. I have been with this team for a week now, and so far I like everything.
uefa.com: Have you spoken to coach Valeri Karpin?
Drinčić: Yes, we had a talk when I was moving to Spartak. We spoke about various tactical aspects. Karpin told me what I have to change in my game. Here, at the training camp, he also gave the players clear instructions. He's interesting to work with.
uefa.com: You once said you admire Spartak striker Welliton's game. Now you play for the same club as last season's top scorer.
Drinčić: Yes, he was the player I liked the most in the entire Russian league. Welliton was great against Amkar last season and scored [three of Spartak's seven] goals against us. He's an incredibly quick and prolific forward. However, there are other high-class players at Spartak.
uefa.com: Welliton scores most of his goals from open play, while you are a free-kick master. Do you practice them?
Drinčić: I was born to be good at free-kicks!
uefa.com: Would you say the move to Spartak, who will play in the UEFA Champions League next season, is the most important step of your career?
Drinčić: Yes, but only if I play regularly, do not get injured and the club win the title. I also hope we will produce some big victories in the UEFA Champions League, a competition I dream to play in. I have to work hard.
uefa.com: Turning to the Montenegrin national side, you finished second from bottom in your FIFA World Cup qualifying group, with nine points from ten matches. Could you have performed any better?
Drinčić: We have a very good team but we were unlucky to start in poorly. Luck turned its back on us in the very first match against Bulgaria as we let the victory slip from our grasp in injury time. It probably had an impact on the subsequent fixtures. There are plenty of strong teams in Europe now.

As financial institutions, many people would suppose that credit unions make lending money a key focus of their business.

I'm dyslexic :( but so was Einstein so its not so bad. I like reading but I'd go out on a limb and say most people on this site do :). I like to think I'm much funnier than I am. I read about vampires, werewolfs and other magical thingys but really I just like reading the far fetched and unrealitic love stories I no in real live they'd never stay together or make it though everything, it just makes me feel all happy and butterflyish inside. I may like reading books like that but in real life I am quiet pessimistic ( or at least thats what other people think Im really just a realist) :D. I also read comic books. I love me some spiderman. Bet u couldn't guess from the profile picture :P. I also loooooove putting emotions after things ^_^. X Pleeeeaaaase don't get mad at me if I spell things wrong, im really bad at spelling X
What lies a head...In a world where turning 17 means being castout from everything you know in to the cold daunting future that you have no control over, where free will is but a far away dream and family is unheard of, one boy choices to not let his life be ruled.

Cranberry Crème Fraîche Bundt Cake
Cookbook Review & Recipe from Cake Simple by Christie Matheson
A luscious cranberry cake, with the richness of crème fraîche.
Christie is a friend who has appeared here before on The Kitchn; she cowrote the very popular cookbook Flour with Joanne Chang, and she also authored a book on salty sweets.
This book is a lovely single-subject book, with soft, elegant photos by Alex Farnum. It has a smaller square profile, and a hardback cover with glossy pages. The 50 recipes cover the basics, like lemon-poppy seed and milk chocolate. But it also dances into less familiar territory with a persimmon cake, and a cake flavored with pink peppercorns. There are just enough recipes to do something fun, but not so many that you feel overwhelmed with choice. It feels like a bright, creative, well-edited little collection of recipes.
So, if you'd like to put your bundt pan to work, pull this one out and give it a try.
• Find it: Cake Simple: Recipes for Bundt-Style Cakes from Classic Dark Chocolate to Luscious Lemon-Basil, by Christie Matheson and published by Chronicle Books. $13.35 at Amazon.

Cranberry Crème Fraîche
This cake is inspired by the cranberry-sour cream coffee cake my mom makes on Christmas morning. I learned from pastry chef Joanne Chang what an amazing difference it makes to the richness and texture of the final product when you use crème fraîche instead of sour cream in baking, so this version is made with crème fraîche and topped with a slightly tart almond-cranberry glaze. You could use canned cranberry sauce for this, but making your own is so easy, and it gives this cake fantastic cranberry flavor.
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus melted butter for greasing the pan
2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (200 g) sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (240 ml) crème fraîche (recipe follows)
Whole-Berry Cranberry Sauce (recipe follows) or 2 cups (450 g) canned whole berry-cranberry sauce
1/2 cup (45 g) chopped toasted almonds
Cranberry Glaze (recipe follows)
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/gas 4). Brush the inside of a 10-cup (2.4 L) Bundt pan with the melted butter and dust it lightly with flour. (Use a pastry brush to help distribute the flour and tap out the excess.)
Whisk the flour with the baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugar on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture (in three increments) alternately with the crème fraîche (in two increments), beginning and ending with the flour and beating after each addition until just combined.
Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Swirl half the cranberry sauce over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the cranberry sauce, and then swirl the remaining cranberry sauce over the batter. Sprinkle the almonds over the top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes, then invert the cake onto the rack and let it cool completely. Transfer the cake to a serving plate and drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. The cake will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Crème Fraîche
2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk
Combine the heavy cream with the buttermilk, cover tightly, and let sit at room temperature (in a warm room) for at least 8 hours. Stir the mixture - it should be thick and creamy. If it hasn't thickened completely, cover the mixture again and let it sit in a warm place for another 2 to 3 hours and check it again. When it has a nice, thick consistency, it will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Whole Berry-Cranberry Sauce
12 ounces (340 g) fresh cranberries
3/4 cup (180 ml) water
2/3 cup (147 g) brown sugar
1/3 cup (70 g) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cranberries with the water, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt and cook for about 15 minutes (after about 10 minutes, remove about 1 tablespoon of the liquid for the cranberry glaze), or until the sauce has thickened and most of the liquid has reduced. Let the sauce cool completely before using it in the cake. The sauce keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Cranberry Glaze
1 cup (93 g) confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 tablespoon cranberry juice (reserved from making the cranberry sauce)
Mix the confectioners' sugar, almond extract, and cranberry juice in a small bowl until smooth.

It takes a lot to make me consider another cookbook purchase, but now I am. These recipes sound wonderful and the pictures of the cranberry cake are lovely!
I am a total sucker for pink frosting, and I don't even like pink!
Oh, another book for my wish list. ;)
That cake looks fantastic! I love the girlie icing.
Oh man, I also am hard to please when it comes to cookbooks, but in our household cake is the god of all desserts and I love bundt cakes in particular because once you get them out of the pan they're beautiful without frosting. I also adore "weird" flavored and old-fashioned cakes. So I might have to buy this one...
I have had this bookmarked since it was first posted, and FINALLY got around to making it this weekend. It is wonderful! Although I'm not a huge fan of icing (because glaze it is not) on bundt cakes and I think I'm going to adapt my mother's carrot cake glaze to pour in the crevices while it's still cooling - but still using the cranberry juice for that lovely color all the way through! (Belated) Thanks!

More than 100 years old but in near mint condition, this bag can be firmly dated by its very round shape. Certain interior details also tell us we're looking at a *really* old purse, exquisitely made. Its pearl satin lining is hand-gathered (like the outer pouch) and an attached coin purse is present, lined to match the outer bag. There's hardly a spot anywhere, no stitches are loose and even the frame shows only minimal wear and snaps tightly shut around the prismic crystal clasp. Clearly this purse was used briefly by a lady in mourning, who subsequently stored it away.
Imagine the chic it will add to your favorite "little black dress" or dinner suit. You can carry plenty, too, since the pouch measures about 8" x 7" and expands to almost circular form. Clasp adds almost another inch in height and the strap is about 15".

Almost anyone can learn to fly a Paraglider/Hang glider. However, a degree of fitness and mental agility is required. These aircraft are simple to fly, but it is nonetheless still "aviation". The pilot's attitude to safety and airmanship is what ensures an accident free flying career. Not sure?

How long does copyright last?
The term of protection or duration of copyright varies depending on the type of copyright work. For copyright works originating outside the UK or another country of the European Economic Area (EEA), the term of protection may also be shorter if it is shorter in the country of origin. There may also be variations in the term where a work was created before 1 January 1996.
But in general, the terms of protection in the UK are as follows:
- Copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work lasts for the life of the author and 70 years from the end of the year in which he/she died.
- Copyright in a film expires 70 years after the end of the year in which the death occurs of the last to survive of the principal director, the authors of the screenplay and dialogue, and the composer of any music specially created for the film.
Currently, copyright in a sound recording expires 50 years from the end of the year in which it was made or, if published in this time, 50 years from the end of the year of publication. If not published during that 50 year period, but it is played in public or communicated to the public during that period, 50 years from the first of these to happen. In September 2011 the European Union approved a directive which will extend the protection period for sound recordings and performers' rights in sound recordings to 70 years.
- Copyright in a broadcast expires 50 years from the end of the year of making of the broadcast.
- Copyright in a published edition expires 25 years from the end of the year in which the edition was first published.
The current terms of protection were introduced or confirmed on 1 January 1996 when copyright terms throughout the EEA were harmonised. The above terms now apply to many works created before this date - further details of how the new copyright terms apply to such works are available on our extended/revived copyright page.
The term of protection is particularly complicated for photographs taken before 1 January 1996.

The King County Prosecutor's Office released additional details in the case of a local wakeboarder killed last summer in Lake Washington after declining to prosecute the boat operator for vehicular homicide.
Islander Nate Bahner, 33, drowned on Aug. 10, and police arrested the boat operator on suspicion of boating under the influence. Senior deputy prosecutor Amy Freedheim said she believed the boat operator was intoxicated while towing Bahner, but "does not appear to have had any bearing on the death."
No felony charges will be filed in the case, and Mercer Island Patch does not name individuals in criminal matters unless they are charged with a crime.
Freedheim said she believed the cause of Bahner's death was related to breaking his neck. He was attempting a backflip on a wakeboard and became entangled in the tow cable, according to the prosecutor. She said that Bahner's wife, three children and a babysitter were passengers in the boat, and made a video of most of his attempts, except for the final, fateful backflip. He was pulled from the water where he was found face-down and unconscious, but later drowned, according to the King County Medical Examiner's Office.
Prosecutors also believe the boat operator was drunk at the time of the accident and was arrested after refusing to submit voluntarily to a breathalyzer test. Seattle Police later obtained a blood sample before he was released, which indicated alcohol was in his bloodstream, .036, 4 1/2 hours after the accident. Adjusting for time that had elapsed, Freedheim said she thought the boat operator would have been above the legal limit.
Prosecutors also said the boat operator has a prior arrest on suspicion of BUI in 2001 and was cited by for alcohol possession as a minor.
The case was returned by Freedheim to the Seattle Police for possible refiling in municipal court.

What is the Origin of the Rainbow Light Name?Rainbow Light began in 1981 by offering consumers a nutritious spirulina supplement and went on to become the first-ever food-based supplement brand. During nutritional content testing procedures in those early days, their researchers discovered that spirulina, when exposed to a light spectrophotometer, refracted all the colors of the rainbow.
In addition to their simple beauty, these rainbow colors revealed the full spectrum of nutritional constituents present in spirulina. Inspired by the power of nature revealed in this nourishing food base, their brand name was born! Since then, Rainbow Light has become a natural products leader and today, certified organic spirulina is still their primary food base. For 30 years, their targeted, food-based supplements have been delivering measurable health benefits and positive improvements in daily energy and vitality you can feel.

Motion carried 3-0.
The public hearing for receiving bids on three urban renewal projects opened at 10:10 a.m. For project #5, nine miles on Shadow Avenue, Mathe came in at $1,676,975.85 and Heartland came in at $1,676,102.36.

The Board noted the receipt of a letter from Samuel Anderson, attorney with Swisher & Cohrt, PLC, regarding the lawsuit for Drainage District #2. Brent Johnson, P.E. with McClure Engineering, who previously recommended redoing the cement outlet visited the site of the newly constructed outlet in November 2009 and has now come to the conclusion that his once �good� option is now not adequate for the drainage district #2 tile system and that the periodic overflow at the outlet structure damages downstream landowners. Last fall the drainage district owners procured the newly constructed outlet based on Johnson�s recommendations at that time. Johnson now suspects that to enlarge the structure would be prohibitive due to Clean Water Regulations and laws and that the only logical means to provide an adequate outlet is to extend properly sized tile to an adequate natural surface outlet such as a reek or river. John Duffy, Attorney for Bill Vorhes, has had this information since December 2009 but did not forward the information to Anderson until March 18 which was an oversight because of Duffy�s heath issues and inability to contact his client until recently. Anderson will file a motion to continue the April hearing due to insufficient time to respond to this recently received information. Anderson would like Dusten Rolando, County Engineer, to contact him to discuss tiling records and hiring and independent water flow engineer. Discussion included annexing Vorhes� and Gerhard�s property in the drainage district, estimated cost to tile to the Shell Rock River, and who is responsible for covering cost of hiring an engineer, the drainage district or the county and if insurance would cover the costs since it came about from the lawsuit.
Staudt/Enabnit moved to approve Resolution #12-10 regarding the designation of a five ton per axle gross weight limit effective when signs are erected and in effect until signs are removed starting at the south edge of the right of way line of the Avenue of Saints (Quarry Rd/T44) near the center of Sec 21, T96N, R16W south approximately 8,048 feet south to a point 3,225 feet north of the center of Sec 33, T96N R16W. Motion carried 3-0.
Enabnit/Staudt moved to approve the Secondary Roads Department Summer wages for 2010. Motion carried 3-0.
Staudt/Enabnit moved to approve the Iowa Department of Transportation agreement for use of local agency roads as detours, specifically Hwy 14 bridge project to use B60 and Packard as detour. Motion carried 3-0.
Rolando provided foreman�s minutes. Work has begun on the road to the Catt House. Three pickups were purchased at the IDOT sale. Discussion included disposing of the old pickups locally or at the next DOT sale. Box culvert and bridge projects were discussed. Calvin is taking bids on a skid loader. Rolando requested that calls with road issues, such as frost boils, be directed to him. The 240th Street project was discussed. Supv Dunkel inquired about embargoing Packard and Ocean Ave north of Hwy 14.
The Auditor provided a draft of a letter regarding yesterday�s Board motion to request Jesse Marzen to pay back overpaid wages. Discussion included rescinding yesterday�s motion allowing Marzen�s pay through March 24 to stay as is, adjustments that would need to be made to IPERS, FICA and unemployment if Marzen does pay the county back, today�s claim for hiring a private attorney for legal services related to the County Attorney�s office and considerations with the April 5 hearing to determine if a vacancy exists. Staudt/Enabnit moved to proceed with sending the letter to Marzen requesting he reimburse the County $1,065.88 in wages and benefits for three days. Motion carried 3-0.
Future agenda item: Attorney to assist with drainage district reassessments.
A motion was made by Supervisor Staudt and seconded by Supervisor Enabnit to adjourn. Motion carried 3-0.

I have a mage for a main and I don't suffer from much downtime. Although the first few levels weren't so easy as I got hit a lot, once my frost talent tree started to develop I got hit less and less, and when I got ice barrier, I stopped taking damage from PvE period. Downtime isn't a big problem, because at low levels you dont have much to recover anyways. When you do need recovery, Evocation works just fine, even with a 4 minute cooldown, it's not that bad. A few levels after getting Evocation, I invested in Glyph of Evocation, making my downtime for healing HP less. I think DKs and Paladins are great for starters too, but I think mages, with their array of casts and instant casts, to be subtle and not so chaotic. When casting Frostbolt, I have 2.5 seconds to think of what to do next, often followed by another one, and when something gets close, Frost Nova, back up, repeat. This isn't always the case, but I don't have much difficulty with any monster around my level (at 51 I solo'd a 56 elite, but that was hard) which makes leveling pretty easy as well. An added bonus is that you don't have to spend too much time trying to find a group for instances, because people whisper you for ranged DPS. food/water, and ports at the end. Portals and Teleports are great ways to make money and move around fast, which should help out casual players.

Inspiration Chrissie Jeffery's Apartment
When we find old interior magazines we like to play a game of 'what still looks good'. Beyond amusement it helps in getting an idea of what are classic elements and what are trends that you will tire of. Even though 2005 wasn't that long ago, we're pretty sure there were trends you wouldn't want to see again. This apartment, featured in Australian Vogue Living September 2005, still looks great nearly 4 years later and is just as inspiring today. More pics below...

love the old majolica dishes!
I adore this place. I don't notice any date-specific trendy decor. It's personal and refreshing.
Emilie, your excellent suggestion is flat-out the easiest way of learning to distinguish between what's good design & what's merely trendy crap.
Sometimes beauty & trendiness overlap, and sometimes they don't, and unfortunately, when things are brand new, it's often hard to tell the two things apart. That's because the wonderful glow of freshness--good in itself, like the sparkle of dewdrops glistening on a piece of garden-fresh fruit, or the rosy bloom on a young child's cheek--can obscure what would otherwise be obvious to everyone: that the apple's rotten & the kid's a brat. Clever marketers know all about that little trick. They use it against us all the time.
There were some amazingly handsome interiors done in the 197Os, and there were some that were awful--see Lilek's hilarious but cautionary volumes if you don't have a shelf full of vintage Better Homes & Gardens & Family Circles around--but back then, most people couldn't tell the two things apart, simply because both were equally new. For a lot of people, New = Good.
Of course, if you had shown the same people comparable rooms from, say, the 193Os--when those rooms were themselves 'new'--almost everyone, even people with no eye for design, could easily tell the good & bad pieces or rooms apart, but the same analytical eye that works so well when we're looking at old pictures is seldom as dependable when we look at more recent stuff. It's that seductive aura of newness that throws people off. The good news is that the ability to look past the sizzle and tell the two things apart can be developed, and that one of the best--not to mention easiest & most amusing--ways to sharpen the eye is to look at old books.
Age has a wonderful way of stripping away the illusory appeal that comes from mere transitory freshness, and it reveals things for what they really are, and for what they were all along to people who know how to see through the marketer's rosy mists. Like Jesus said "There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed." That has a broader application than is generally supposed.
Can you say "country geese?" Are they really as hideous as most people say they are nowadays? If so, how is it that so many millions of women thought they were adorable back in the day? Has mass taste really improved that much? Or how about whitewashed cutouts of howling coyotes? Or flouncy pillows in hunter green & burgundy? Or sun-moon-&-stars on everything in sight? No, those things were always cheesy gimmicks straight off Madison Avenue, but when people saw those geese & those coyotes in the glossy magazines, all primped & powdered & lit up like stars awaiting their big closeups, they fell in love. But not with the things themselves, only with their wonderful g-l-o-w. But that glow doesn't last forever. Open up an old Home Decorators catalog from a while back and you'll see what I mean. It's like a chamber of decorating horrors in there.
And why should that be? The poet said "A thing of beauty is ajoy forever." So why aren't we joyful? Is the wooden coyote any less cute than he was then? Is the gigantic tassel-wrapped seeded-glass lamp any less elegant? Are the strings of faux chili peppers any less festive? Is the fat chef any less laugh-inducing? Is the big iron star any less striking? They're exactly whatever they were then. And yet, somehow, the thrill is gone. It's like watching a rerun of an old Ed Sullibvan Show: you wonder what you ever saw in that stuff. It's so predictable. So embarrassing. But it's a never-ending cycle--unless you get off the merry-go-round. One of these days, a lot of folks will look up at the dusty plastic curlicue doodads hanging on their walls & wonder "What was I thinking?" Their daughters will look at the ghost of some hackneyed saying peeking through the paint on their twenty-foot high wall & wonder "Why didn't somebody stop me?" But a lot of those same people will turn around & hop on whatever bandwagon comes along next. To each his own. It's a wonderful thing, the circle of life.
Anyway, looking at old books is quite the education. It sharpens your eye, and, in time, it will render you less susceptible to buying a piece of gimmicky, derivitive junk, simply because it's new. But you won't have to avoid buying new & trendy stuff, either, simply to avoid buying something crummy. Remember, if new doesn't necessarily mean good, it also doesn't automatically mean bad. Trends are neutral. It's what's behind the trend that matters, and looking at older publications--even ones as recent as Emilie's example above--will, in time, allow you to tell at a glance which trendy new things--or looks--will appeal to you for years to come & which are doomed to sit unsold at the yard sales of 2010.
magnaverde's comments (manifesto?) on trendiness are well taken, but was citing jesus really necessary?
Yeah, I agree with KTG (I think) that there's no such thing as a classic that is always in style. Tastes in historical pieces change with the times. Like in the 80's arts and crafts movement was very "classic". Today, while I'm not selling my little journey stand, but I searched "arts and crafts" and "mission" and cound not come up with a single example on your site featuring this style.
what's wrong with citing baby jeebus?
These rooms look better than most of the ones featured in the current decorating magazines I have at home.
i liked magnaverde's thoughts, but thought the biblical reference was a little self-serious. perhaps my comment sounded more harsh than it needed to be - my bad.

A little about me...
there are 3 things in life that make me happy, something to do, someone to love and something to look forward to.
I can live without many things but love is the hardest to live with out.
I like listening to the rain and the smell of a fresh spring rain, watching a sun set and fresh snow. the smell of fresh coffee and fresh baked bread. I like snowmobiling, 4 wheeling, BBQs, motorcycles, fishing, camping, looking at the stars while setting at a bonfire, picnics, antique shops, yard sales. I love hugs and cuddling....I like doing many things,I am NOT hard to please. when my man is happy, I am happy.
I do not like confrontation and will do my best to avoid it.
I like to be silly, joke, laugh and have fun....my sense of humor is sometimes a little off the wall and sometimes a little dry.
I say what I think.....which is not always a good thing!
I do not smoke or drink.
I am retired from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biological/Pharmaceuticals
I judge a man by the way he treats me not by his looks.
My friends say I am witty and funny and sometimes to giving and forgiving.
It is hard to know how to describe yourself on a "Personal Profile' so if there is anything you would like to know please ask and i will do my best to answer you qu
About the one I'm looking for...
a man with a few extra pounds, has a good sense of humor and likes to joke and have fun. someone that says what he means not what he thinks I want to hear. Likes to go camping, fishing , picnicking. most outdoor activities or just staying home and snuggling up watching a good movie. NO smokers or heavy drinkers.
I'd just like to add...
I have red hair and green eyes

Two brothers, ages 3 years and 10 months, rescued from locked car.
Not locking your vehicle can lead to more than just theft of items left inside. In could mean a child's life.
A pair of young Chalmette brothers climbed out of an apartment window and, in the extreme heat of a mid-afternoon, got into their father's unlocked car, somehow locking themselves in and not being able to get out, Chief Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann said. The car's motor was off and the windows were up.
A neighbor who went outside about 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 3, noticed the apartment window open, then luckily saw the two boys, ages 3 ½ years and 10 months, sweating profusely inside the vehicle, Pohlmann said.
The woman couldn't get the door open to rescue them but phoned her boyfriend who came over and got the vehicle open. The children were cooled off and given liquids but weren't otherwise injured.
The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office arrested the children's father, who was in his apartment during the incident, for child desertion based on negligent supervision, Pohlmann said. The mother was at work.
Corey Johnson, 31, 3405 Golden Drive, Apt. B, was being held in St. Bernard Parish Prison. No bond information was available. The mother was called and the children were turned over to her.
Pohlmann said, "We preach all the time about not leaving children in non air-conitioned cars in the summer because they can die of heat exhaustion and we routinely tell people to lock their vehicle doors to avoid thefts.''
He added, "Here's an unusual case where leaving a car unlocked could also harm a child because you don't think about them going in and getting locked inside on a hot day. Fortunately someone saw these children.''
The couple who got the children out said they knocked on the door of the apartment where the children lived but got no answer. They gave them drinks at their residence and called the Sheriff's Office.
When sheriff's deputies arrived and got the father to come to the door he said he was upstairs cleaning during the incident and didn't know the children had gotten out of a downstairs window, but said he knew the window didn't lock properly.
A young child died of heat exhaustion in New Orleans recently when left in a vehicle and nationally more than 20 children have died that way this year. Doctors have noted that a child's body temperature heats up 3-5 times faster than an adult.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

What is the difference between a guardian and a conservator? As defined by the courts, a guardian is someone appointed to make decisions about health care, living arrangements and other personal issues for a protected person (ward). A conservator is appointed to make financial decisions such as entering into contracts, paying bills and investing assets for a protected person.
What power do they have over an individual's life? Their powers are broad but not absolute. According to the Minnesota attorney general's office, they may use their authority only as necessary to provide care and services for the protected person. The court should ensure that decisions made will not be overly restrictive of the protected person's rights.
• The Legislature recently passed a Bill of Rights for Wards and Protected Persons (statute 524.5-120). Read it at www.tinyurl.com/lrxw3x. Scroll down to Section 5.

Continuing its drip feed poster promotion for Alice In Wonderland, Disney has unveiled the latest new image - which features Johnny Depp's The Mad Hatter and The Caterpillar.
There have been lower resolution looks at the insect voiced - and, from the looks of his face, designed slightly after - Alan Rickman, but this is his first proper appearance in promotional art for the film.
The design for Burton's take on Wonderland is still looking trippy and rich, and all three posters so far have shown it off to great effect.
Take a look at the image and let us know your thoughts...
