Characteristics, Uses and Taxation of Investments - Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs)
F. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs)/Stable Value Funds: Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs)/Stable Value Funds: Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs)/Stable Value Funds: GICS are a fixed income investment that is the obligation of a life insurance company issued through its general account (the company's portfolio of bonds in which all incoming funds are in vested and which is used to satisfy insurance and retirement liabilities) and providing a fixed rate of return and set maturity. The product's creditworthiness is a function of the general account's asset quality. They are quite simply a portfolio of intermediate term bonds with an insurance 'wrapper'. Insurance companies issue these products for retirement plans as a more yield attractive alternative to a money market fund. Those issued to qualified retirement plans by life insurers are exempt from registration as a security with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The traditional GIC was a bullet maturity product with little or no opportunity for withdrawal of assets. While GICs have not disappeared completely, more common in recent years is the stable value fund. A stable value fund is a blend of GICs, money market securities and other book-value instruments offering diversification amongst insurers, stability of principal and a competitive yield. These products reside in tax-deferred accounts, distributions from which are taxed as ordinary income.
- Investor-Managed (real property): this entails direct investment in property, be it commercial or residential. Particular expertise in property management and the dynamics of the local market are essential. Such an endeavor is rather time consuming and requires typically a sizable initial investment.
- Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs-securitized): this is a specialized type of company that manages a real estate portfolio and which is publicly traded. REITS pay shareholders dividends from income and capital gains distributions. Organized as a trust, REITs avoid corporate taxation if they invest 75% or more of their assets in real estate and receive 75% or more of their income from real estate. They must distribute 90% or more of their net investment income to shareholders. Additionally, because they are not a partnership, they do not pass through losses to investors, but income. Dividends are taxed as ordinary income.
- Real Estate Limited Partnerships (RELPs): this form of limited partnership provides several advantages including capital appreciation, positive cash flow, numerous tax deductions (mortgage interest expense, depreciation and capital improvements) and tax credits (government assisted housing and historic rehabilitation properties). A brief description of the principal types follows.
- Raw Land - investment is for capital appreciation. No tax benefits inure to the investor. This is a quite risky investment.
- New Construction - investment is for capital appreciation with the tax benefits of depreciation and expense deductions. This too is rather speculative as the construction is new without an established track record..
- Existing Property - investment is for cash flow with the tax benefits of deductible mortgage interest and depreciation. Ongoing maintenance and the need to find lessees are considerations. Existing property is a somewhat lower risk investment.
- Government - Assisted Housing-investors receive tax credits and rent subsidies for investment in low-income and retirement housing. Appreciation potential is less as this is a lower risk investment.
- Historic Rehabilitation - investment is for the development of historical properties for commercial use in exchange for which investors receive tax credits and deductions for expenses and depreciation.
- Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs)/Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)

'Survivor: Blood vs. Water' recap, 'Swoop in for the Kill'
We start out tonight with Kat's arrival at Redemption Island, and then she talks and talks and talks, during what seems to be the middle of the night. Then, the next day, she sits on the beach and cries, worried that Hayden is going to be disappointed in her. Does she really think he would break up with her because she lost on a reality show? Remember how I said she hasn't made me want to smack her in the head once this season? I take it back.

Look for the fat threeridge mussel to enter the lexicon of Georgia politics. From Ray Henry and the Associated Press:
Federal scientists could revise their estimate of how much water Florida's Apalachicola River needs to prevent the deaths of an endangered mussel, a development that could give Florida more legal leverage in a long-running water dispute with neighboring Georgia.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service researchers are revisiting a 2008 report that found keeping the river flowing at a minimum of 5,000 cubic feet per second would not threaten the existence of the endangered fat threeridge mussel. But in September, scientists reported that the mussels had moved higher on the riverbank than during the drought-stricken period when the study was completed.
As many as 1,200 endangered mussels were exposed to the air in September when river levels dropped, said Donald Imm, a project leader for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Panama City, Fla. It's not clear whether they died.
"These mussels, they are really a canary-in-the-coal-mine indicator," he said. "If we lose the mussels, who knows what else we've lost from the natural system."
The report scheduled for release Aug. 1 could have consequences in a long-running feud between Alabama, Georgia and Florida over regional water use.
Florida has asked the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta to overturn a lower court judge who refused last year to order the release of more water from Georgia reservoirs into the Apalachicola River to protect the gulf sturgeon, the fat threeridge mussel and the purple bankclimber mussel. The appellate panel has delayed the case until Imm's team completes its work.
"Because new information has come to light and the agencies are engaged in further administrative action, this litigation is likely to be affected," said Parker Thompson, an attorney for Florida, in a court filing requesting the delay. He declined to comment further.
Georgia attorney Todd Silliman said he could not comment in detail until federal scientists file their report.
"We understand why they're undertaking this additional consultation and we'll just have to see what the results of it are," he said.
When scientists conducted the last study, a severe drought had starved the river of water.
Mussels feed at the river's surface and have some ability to follow changing waterlines. The ongoing study will examine the mortality rate of mussels, their ability to move with river's surface and how quickly they die when exposed to air.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers uses research from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to decide how much water should be released from upstream reservoirs into the Apalachicola River, which flows down the Florida Panhandle. The headwaters of the Apalachicola are a dam-regulated reservoir fed by the Chattahoochee River, which flows along the Georgia and Alabama border, and the Flint River.
State leaders have fought for years over water usage. Alabama and Florida accuse metro Atlanta of using so much water upstream that it leaves too little for those downstream.
In 2009, U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson ruled that metro Atlanta had little right to withdraw water from Lake Lanier on the Chattahoochee River, the main water source for roughly 3 million people. Magnuson said he will severely restrict the amount of water that Atlanta can use starting in 2012 unless political leaders in the three feuding states strike an agreement.
Georgia authorities have appealed that ruling while pursuing negotiations with Alabama and Florida.
In a related decision, Magnuson rejected a request from Florida seeking the release of water into the Apalachicola River to protect downstream wildlife, including the fat threeridge mussel. The judge said Florida did not prove that federal officials ignored evidence in deciding how much water should be released from Georgia reservoirs to support downstream wildlife.

If the fat three ridged mussel dies out, SO WHAT ???? Species have been dying out since life began on Earth. The environmental whackos act like it's the end of the world when some irrelevant species begins to decline and want to impose all sorts of short sighted and expensive measures to protect said species. The imposition these needless expenditures place on our economy is 'a death by a thousand cuts' or in these cases it would be 'a death by a thousand research grants' .

Under the corrupt Obama administration environmental whackos have taken charge. Wanna know why gas is nearly $4 a gallon? Take a look at what is going on with the Keystone XL pipeline. A Canadian company wants to build a pipeline that will haul 863,000 barrels crude oil daily from the Canadian tar sand area to large refineries in Texas. The pipeline is to be built with private money (no taxpayer subsidy) and provide many jobs. But the best part is it will replace 863,000 barrels of oil every day that we now import from places that don't much like us (Saudi Arabia, Venezuela) with Canadian oil. But because it crosses the border, it must be signed off by Sec. of State, Hillary Clinton. In a bow to environmentalist radicals, she refuses to sign. This is the most important story that the mainstream press (including Jim G.) completely ignores.
Folks, it it high time we brought down the world of environmental extremism. It is doing more than its share to bring the US down from its super power status.

Hey Aquagirl,
you do realize that for most people in Atlanta when they take those long showers that it goes down that little hole at the bottom of the shower into a pipe that eventually leads to the wastewater treatment plant then that same water that was pulled out of Lake Lanier goes back into the Chattahoochee and onto your poor little fat three ridged mussels? Amazing
June 2nd, 2011

LC, there's less water downstream, and evaporation works pretty much the same as always. Where is that water going? You're blaming the spotted atlantan water-sucking mussel?
Frankly the mussels downstream have more brain than you, so I'm not crying if you go thirsty.

The farmers in SW GA are sucking the aquifer and the Flint River dry and we have to make up for it from Lake Lanier. Why does not the State make the farmers suck it up like we have to and share the pain all around. It is not right for Lanier for have to support the farmers just because corn prices are high.
June 2nd, 2011

What I have never understood is that we are told to build reserviors for water retention rather than use Lake Lanier. If the water goes into a reservior doesn't that take water that would have gone into the lake?
June 2nd, 2011
1:48 pm
So what happened to the fat three-ridged mussel during low flows related to droughts prior to Lanier being built? What would happen to the fat three-ridged mussel right now if Lanier was not there to artificially increase the flow. One problem with the Endangered Species Act is that it has been used as a weapon to stop projects or to advace certain causes. Everyone knows that Florida doesn't give a damn about endangered species, it only wants the constant water flow to protect its lucrative oyster beds in the Apalachicola Bay.
June 2nd, 2011
1:48 pm
Here is a simple water release formula even aqualibs could understand. Buford Dam should release the exact amount of water that is flowing into Lake Lanier. If it's raining and there is XXXX flowing into the lake then they release XXXX out of the dam. If it's a drought and X is flowing into the lake then you release X. The problem comes when you have X flowing in but the COE is releasing XXXXXXXXXXX. Then the lake gets emptied and the resulting low water flows kills the poor mussels inspite of the EW's handwringing.
June 2nd, 2011
1:52 pm
LC – you are absolutely correct – the only water that is lost from the system is from evaporation, everything else comes back into the river. I always wondered why Atlanta doesn't just move its water intake to the Chattahoochee River just below Buford Dam. Then it will never run dry of water because the river never runs dry.
June 2nd, 2011
1:55 pm
Independent, I wonder how many people actually make their living off the oyster beds ? Probably a pretty small number when compared to the number of businesses devastated by the draining of Lanier a couple of years ago.

I like how the farmers are quick to point their finger at metro Atlanta but you can bet they are more than happy to have this big market to sell their crops to.
June 2nd, 2011
2:00 pm
All used drinking water doesn't make it to the mussels. Some of it leaks out, goes to other basins, etc. Probably 60 to70% is returned to whence it came. Of course, the main problem for the mussels is the agricultural, ground water withdrawals in SW Georgia which dwarfs the consumption in metro Atlanta, and causes most of the mussel distress.
June 2nd, 2011

Pray tell how did the mussels survive during droughts before there was a Buford dam?

Oh, and just for the fun I'll give you a bit of George Carlin.
"You got people like this around you? Country is full of them now! People walking around all day long, every minute of the day — worried about EVERYTHING! Worried about the air, worried about the water, worried about the soil. Worried about insecticides, pesticides, food additives, carcinogens; worried about radon gas; worried about asbestos. Worried about saving endangered species.
Let me tell you about endangered species, all right? Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control Nature! It's arrogant meddling! It's what got us into trouble in the first place! Doesn't anybody understand that? Interfering with Nature! Over 90 percent.. over… way over 90 percent [actually over 99.9%] of all the species that have ever lived — EVER LIVED — on this planet are gone. Whissshht! They are extinct!
We didn't kill them all.
They just… disappeared! That's what Nature does! They disappear these days at the rate of 25 a day, and I mean regardless of our behavior. Irrespective of how we act on this planet, 25 species that were here today, will be gone tomorrow! Let them go… gracefully! Leave Nature alone! Haven't we done enough?
We're so self-important. So self-important! Everybody's going to save something now. "Save the trees; save the bees; save the whales; save those snails." And the greatest arrogance of all, "Save the planet." WHAT? Are these [bleep]ing people kidding me? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven't learned how to care for one another, we're gonna save the [bleep]ing planet?"
June 2nd, 2011
2:25 pm
Good question.
June 2nd, 2011
2:48 pm
We're losing species at an alarming rate due to the actions of man. If we can ameliorate or even reverse these man induced effects on the system, it would seem that we've gained something of value if it reduces the decline of species. Loss of a species can mean the lose of a medical cure. C'mon, we've all seen Medicine Man. Additionally, if we create conditions that are antitheses to some life, how good is that for our species?
June 2nd, 2011
2:59 pm
Without the actions of man keeping an artificially higher flow of water through the Apalachicola during the most recent drought period or previous ones since the early sixties the mussel would probably already be extinct.

Hey Oldfart,
Here are two definitions of self-importance.
1.self-importance – an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others
ego, egotism
2.Self-importance – an exaggerated opinion of your own importance
I just can't see how George C considers this an act of self-importance. I don't see how other people relate this term to environmentalists. Sorry, I thought George C was funny but for the most part he seemed to be a bitter dried up hippie that gave up on caring. To me it seems that the people that litter and don't conserve water, energy, etc and don't recycle could also be considered self-important.
Also the deal about the artificially higher flow of water theory does not quit pan out and here is why. Please note that I am basing this off of West Point Lake and below since this is where I live. During the summer months the Corp of Engineers tend to keep the lake at a certain level for recreational use. This means that they have minimal to almost no releases except for when they generate because they are trying to maintain this level during a drought, during the summer.
What happens downstream is that the water gets real shallow from the lack of flow. This flow is what also helps to maintain the water temp. The shallow slow flowing or standing water gets real hot killing the mussels besides creating other problems and boy do those things stink up the place when they die.
June 2nd, 2011
10:14 pm
Please explain why the flow would be more during a drought without either dam, regardless of how much they choose to release. West Point's level is determined by the releases from Lanier which holds much more in reserve but even then from a much smaller basin than most reservoirs of it's size. The fact that there is even a reservoir to draw from when there was none before means they are receiving more water downstream than would have occurred without the dams during drought periods. This is the case of a species not going extinct because of man. An argument could be made that West Point Lake should never have been created in the first place. If it hadn't been for the need for barge surges and some lobbying developers I doubt it ever would have happened anyway. Buford dam on the other hand was necessary for flood control, could have been one helluva' better power generator given so better mods, and a controlled supply of water to metro Atlanta and those down stream. Decisions on what flows from it should involve all of this on economic impact and how best to help HUMANS, not a species that is likely doomed anyway and likely would be already without the intervention of man. I don't mean just metro Atlanta, the farmers downstream, the oyster men in the basin, but all the humans that rate above a species that is doomed anyway in my ledger. I'm not a believer in many things but natural selection has been working for a few billion years and man is a cog in that wheel. I like being near the top of the food chain but we wouldn't have stood a chance in some of the earlier ages. Enjoy it while you are here and don't get so hung up on the inevitable.
By the way, I recycle, blah, blah, because landfills make no sense though many of them end up there anyway. The Alcoa aluminum plant in Alcoa, TN was built to utilize the hastily built TVA dams in the buildup to WWII. Now the generators in those dams are mostly idle due to lack of maintenance and/or upgrades and NO aluminum is produced at the plant in a town named for it because of pollution regulations and higher power costs from coal power plants. BTW they aren't even melting your recycled cans there, choosing to purchase ingots from Russia where they have little concern for pollution issues. The global impact is still the same, only the local Volvo driving do-gooders, self-satisfied politicos and militant tree huggers are happy. Meanwhile back a the ranch the local employees that have been "made redundant" as the Brits say could go back to farming but the lush valleys their ancestors farmed are now reservoirs.
My retirement home now under construction involves more man-made destruction on a temporary basis. I've flattened a "knob" as they call it in the hills. Will recover it with an earth-sheltered and passive solar home with an atrium full of organic plants watered from the cistern already constructed to receive the limestone filtered runnoff. Primarily DC electrical lights and appliances due to a nearby creek that I can't dam but there is enough flow and fall to utilize ram pumps using water to pump them to my own reservoir to be drawn off as needed to produce power or charge batteries. By current standards my estimates are that the meter will run backwards.
I'm doing this out of prudence and anticipation of a fixed income, dwindling fossil energy and looking out for number one. If you want to feel self-important by using a square blue receptacle to throw your aluminum foil please continue, just don't judge me because I am a pragmatist and very little of what a few do-gooders accomplish here will have an impact on an entire planet. We have a few billion Chinese and Indians that are about to enter the American consumerism phase of the 50's.
I'm also a student of history and can't tell you how many wars have been fought over the guy upstream pissing in the downstream guy's water. The mussel is just a negotiating tool in the fight and please don't exaggerate its importance above that level.

Aquagirl-you have serious attitude problems and your post has nothing to do with the topic. Stay on the topic and back off of what others have a right to drive. By the way, I wash both my great gas mileage car AND my SUV at a car wash that recycles the water used there so your hateful statements have no warrant. Take your resentful attitude elsewhere and leave the commentary relative to the story-like, mussels!

Connacht 18 Ulster 34
Match Reports,
Latest news update:
Ulster moved themselves closer to a home semi-final after they eased to a 34-18 victory over Connacht at the Sportsground.
In a see-saw first half, tries from Stuart Olding, Andrew Trimble and Rory Best took the away team into a 22-15 half-time lead.
The hosts were also impressive in the opening period and got their reward through George Naoupu and Fetu'u Vainikolo touchdowns.
And although it remained scrappy for the majority of the second period, quality told in the end when Tommy Bowe and Jared Payne rounded off a comfortable win.
Despite the visitors' position at the top of the league, it was the home side which opened the scoring.
Ulster failed to deal with the high ball properly and, after some excellent counter-rucking by the Connacht forwards, the ball was spread wide to Naoupu who touched down.
However, the Northern Irish province weren't to be denied for long. They have been renowned this season for their excellent off-loading game and that was to the fore as Olding went over.
Mark Anscombe's men were soon crossing the whitewash again when a sublime pass by Ruan Pienaar sent Trimble away.
But the Galway-based outfit levelled matters when another well-worked move ended in Vainikolo weaving his way over.
Dan Parks and Pienaar then traded penalties, but Best gave Ulster a half-time lead when he finished off a powerful driving maul.
Connacht continued to battle after the interval and Miah Nikora reduced the deficit with a three-pointer, but they struggled to get into their opponent's half.
And the pressure exerted by the visitors eventually paid off when both Bowe and Payne touched down late on.

Not to mention, customer service was so helpful and very accommodating. Would highly recommend this product."
"This is the most unique card with beautiful colors! We used the card for our second son's birth announcement and received so many compliments! This is my second time ordering from tiny prints and I will continue to do so. The cards are such great quality!"
"I loved the colors used and the modern design. The paper quality was nice--I did get the double thickness which had a very substantive weight, but I think the standard thickness would have been great as well."
"Very cute design on nice qualty paper. I ordered them with the rounded corners, which definitely added class. Love the matching address labels as well!"
"I love these announcements because they are not like every other announcement I see. The matte finish makes it look like a higher quality (rather than glossy finish). I personally used the coffee color rather than the pink which made the pink in the heart (date) pop more. The only thing I wish I had done differently is get a professional picture taken, but that's on me, not Tiny Prints."

In Topic: Computer randomly freezes
Posted 10 Feb 2013I checked event manager nothing interesting there, I could try running on the Intel Graphics that is in processor for while, but i dont have diferent memory sticks avalaible. And also because of the random nature of the freez it is very hard to test because sometimes it appears once a month sometimes once a week and sometimes once a few days.
In Topic: get/set property of the property?
Posted 4 Nov 2012Quoting MSDN on this error:
QuoteThis error occurs because value types are copied on assignment. When you retrieve a value type from a property or indexer, you are getting a copy of the object, not a reference to the object itself. The copy that is returned is not stored by the property or indexer because they are actually methods, not storage locations (variables).
It basically means that the value that is retruned by get is read-only as it has no varaible assigned to it (it is only on stack). This does not apply to classes as C# passes those through reference not by value.

Nice. Next thing you know, we'll have some Perl hacker come in at around 45 characters.
Maybe I should have stipulate that the input is coming in from standard input or the console, not the command line.
I saw one scoreboard for this problem and the top one was PERL with 6 characers.

Nice attempt at trying to save that extra character. Unfortunately, by dropping the semi-colon after the for loop statement to save the extra character, you end up not printing then sum of the numbers entered. Try "2 3 4". The final output should be 7, but your program prints out "03".
I swear that semicolon was there earlier. Anyway it was 91 with semicolon so the character count does not change.

The first letter appeared at the eighth-floor office of Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas in October.
It was the kind of letter no lawyer likes to get.
Ethics investigations target Thomas office
"Information concerning your professional conduct has come to the attention of the State Bar," it said. "A copy of the information is enclosed."
What followed was a mishmash of newspaper articles, court documents and letters between high-ranking state officials.
Each one mentioned something about a well-publicized debate between Thomas and Valley judges over how to handle a new law dealing with illegal immigration.
None of them said why the State Bar of Arizona had sent the letter in the first place.
"I certainly had never received any inquiries like this from the Bar," Thomas said in a weekend interview with the Tribune about the situation. "Neither have any of the people I've talked to."
The letter gave the county attorney 20 days to respond to the cryptic allegations.
Thomas now says that letter was the start of what he believes was an organized campaign by the State Bar to target him because its leaders disagree with his politics, including his hard-line stance on illegal immigration.
During the past six months, Thomas and several of his prosecutors have become targets of 13 such investigations, most dealing with vague allegations of ethics violations. For many, Thomas said, "it's not even clear what was being inquired about."
The president of the State Bar of Arizona, Dan McAuliffe, and its chief investigator, Robert Van Wyck, have both denied the investigations were politically inspired.
Thomas took the unusual and possibly unprecedented step last week of asking the Arizona Supreme Court, which oversees the State Bar, to intervene by either killing the investigations or appointing someone to review them independently.
That request and the previous six months of fighting the State Bar over the investigations has cost taxpayers $300,000 already, according to the county attorney's office.
The cost will likely climb, too, since the battle has now been taken to court.
One of the reasons it has cost so much, Thomas said, is because many of the State Bar's original allegations against his office were so vague.
Often, the letters came much like the first one, with newspaper articles or court documents attached and nothing to indicate what the attorney might have done wrong.
Even when Thomas would ask the State Bar to clarify, the organization refused, he said.
Because of this, the county attorney's office had to respond to "every conceivable concern" based on what was attached to the letters, he said. "That entailed an awful lot of work and attorneys' fees incurred by the taxpayers," Thomas said.
Still, despite the vagueness of the allegations, many appear to be minor, said Jonathan Rose, a professor at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law. Rose read news accounts of the allegations last week and said most, if found to be true, would lead to only minor punishments, such as reprimands. None of the investigations appears to be "the kind of thing that would lead to disbarment or even suspension for any significant period of time," he said.
The ultimate punishment that could result from a Bar investigation would be to strip an attorney of his license to practice law in Arizona, but none of the probes appears to go that far, he said.
No matter the outcome, though, the actions taken last week by Thomas have ignited a fire inside the Valley legal community. The State Bar is a powerful force in Arizona. Every attorney in the state is required to join it and pay dues, and the private organization has authority by state law to investigate and punish lawyers for ethics violations.
Thomas' motion, in effect, took on the organization, accusing it of its own ethics violations.
Among Thomas' allegations, his Supreme Court motion said he had specific evidence from a high-ranking State Bar official showing the effort to target him was likely organized and political. The evidence, the motion said, was that a group of retired judges and others had asked the State Bar to "do something" about Thomas after his public fight with Valley judges over the immigration law.
According to the motion, the high-ranking State Bar official was Joe Kanefield, also the state elections director. Kanefield said in an e-mail last week, however, that nobody had asked the State Bar's leaders, including him, to launch investigations into Thomas. At one point, Kanefield wrote, a group had asked the State Bar to issue a statement in support of the Valley judges, which the organization did. "Nobody has ever approached me asking that the State Bar take any discipline action against Andrew Thomas," Kanefield wrote.
The Arizona Supreme Court has asked the State Bar to respond to Thomas' allegations by June 18. Van Wyck, the Bar's chief attorney and investigator, said the organization plans to do so and is currently exploring its options.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Investigators with the Texas Rangers are investigating the death of an inmate in Seminole.
25-year-old Samuel Garcia was arrested in connection with a narcotics investigation last Wednesday. Gaines County Deputies kept Garcia under constant observation, after they were advised that he may have swallowed an unknown amount of cocaine.
The next morning, paramedics were called as Garcia began suffering from seizures. He was eventually transferred to University Medical Center in Lubbock where he later died.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Gevrey-Chambertin is a wine with a beautiful, bright ruby color. Intensely fruity on the nose, the aromas are reminiscent of black cherry, wild blackberry and licorice. The woody character is subtle and marries delicately with the other aromas. As the wine evolves, there are more complex notes, such as mild spice, nutmeg and leather. Later still, mushroom and damp earth nuances make their appearance. Although present on the palate, tannin is never astringent but blends itself harmoniously with the natural freshness and "gras" (velvety texture) of the wine. The same aromas encountered earlier on the nose are found again in the aftertaste.
Gevrey-Chambertin could be served with beef bourguignon, coq au vin, grilled meat and great cheeses.
"A powerful, concentrated wine, pushing
tannins while also showing great berry fruits and fine,
juicy acidity. It does need to age to soften the tannins."

The Growlers
It's been a while since you've had some real choices for making plans. If you were at Bar Pink on Monday, you know pretty much everyone in San Diego was there, too, so it's nice to get over the holidays and be able to choose from multiple shows. Tonight, you can catch a great lineup at the Casbah, a more face-melty lineup over at Soda Bar or catch an interesting part-cabaret, part-circus freak show with the Yard Dogs Road Show up at the Belly Up. There are plenty of other options down the line, so if you've been cooped up this week, tonight would be a good night to resurface.
Wednesday, Dec. 29:
Rosemary Bystrak writes about the San Diego music scene, events, and sometimes whatever creeps into her head on her music blog San Diego: Dialed In. Check it for even more listings. She also provides social media content for the Casbah. Follow her updates at twitter.com/sddialedin or submit your music listings.

"Driving posts is much more cost effective than bringing in fill dirt."
Formed in an effort to respond to the devastation of the senior housing market by Hurricane Katrina, Bay Homes has established a reputation for building affordable, high-quality, low-maintenance residences along the Gulf Coast in Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama.
Structures in coastal high-hazard areas are required to be elevated above the base flood elevation (BFE). To raise its houses in low-lying areas, Bay Homes uses a treated wood pile foundation on homes that are as low as 3 feet off the ground. Bay Homes' Peter Russell says that people want their homes raised, even where it may not be required by the BFE. "Because of past hurricanes and water issues, and knowing that Mother Nature can do some ridiculously quirky things, people like it just for peace of mind. That's a big reason why we maintain it throughout all of the structures that we do."
"There are a lot of advantages to the raised wood floor beyond just getting over the BFE," says Russell, noting that an elevated living space is isolated from moisture and pests. Russell also says that, on occasion, Bay Homes will raise a house upwards of 8 feet – even when the BFE is only 3 feet – because a homebuyer wants to use the area underneath the house for parking or a patio.
When a house is required to be elevated, according to Russell, a treated wood pile foundation is faster to build than a concrete slab placed on fill dirt that has to be compacted. "In a lot of scenarios, it makes a lot more sense to elevate the house rather than bringing the elevation up with dirt," says Russell. "What we are doing is much quicker. We don't have to wait to set up forming and for concrete to cure. We can drill and set the posts, and put in the wood I-joists and have the walls framed in two days with the trusses on."
When building an elevated slab, Russell says, "it can take a week or two just to get the foundation in place. So if you really want to punch production out, you can go with drilling and setting the posts... Our own personal best record (for completing a house), from breaking ground to finish, is 18 days. It was a 1,176-square-foot three-bedroom house. That was pretty phenomenal!"
Russell says that treated wood pile foundations are also less costly for the builder. "Driving or setting posts to raise a house is much more cost effective than bringing in fill dirt to elevate a slab."
Faster and less expensive construction helps Bay Homes produce homes priced in the $69,000 to $89,000 range as part of its affordable house program. "It is truly an affordable house," says Russell, noting the current unique market conditions and a readily available labor force that can play to a builder's advantage.

TEL08R-Yp, the short Y' (Y'-S) element on the right arm of chromosome VIII, contains an ARS consensus sequence, a region of 36-bp repeats, two uncharacterized ORFs (YHR218W, YHR219W), and two dubious ORFs (YHR218W-A, YHR219C-A).
The Y' element is a repetitive sequence found in many but not all subtelomeric regions next to the telomeric repeats, or adjacent X element combinatorial repeats, either as a single copy or tandem repeat of two to four copies(2, 3). Two main types of Y' elements are known, Y'-L and Y'-S, and any particular array will consist of only one type, not a combination of both (1). Y' elements contain helicase-encoding ORFs which are expressed only during meiosis and in telomerase-deficient cells (1). Possible functions include rescue of telomeres when the telomeric repeats are no longer present and a role in telomere maintenance during meiosis (1).
Other features of TEL08R, the right telomeric region of chromosome VIII, include an X element core sequence TEL08R-XC, a region of X element combinatorial repeats TEL08R-XR, and two stretches of telomeric repeats (TEL08R-TR1, TEL08R-TR2).

Thunder top Clippers in duel of NBA powerhouses
Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E Sports) – Kevin Durant scored 32 points and Russell Westbrook added 26 to lead the Thunder 109-97 over the Clippers.
In a matchup between the NBA's two top teams, the Thunder improved to a league-best 33-9 and expanded their lead in the Western Conference standings to one game over the Clippers, who fell to 32-11.
The Clippers, who were without Chris Paul due to a bruised right knee cap, led much of the first quarter before giving up the lead for good early in the second.
Oklahoma City pulled away to a 77-61 lead in the third on a 3-pointer by Thabo Sefolosha and a fast break dunk by Westbrook. The Clippers cut it to nine on seven straight points, including four by Crawford, before the Thunder scored the last five points to lead 82-68 going into the fourth.
Grant Hill and Jamal Crawford combined to score seven points in a row to start the fourth as the Clippers closed in at 82-75.
But Durant connected three 3-point shots, as Westbrook and Ibaka added one trey each to extend the Thunder's lead to 99-82 — their largest of the game. Three of those 3′s came after the Thunder grabbed offensive rebounds.
Having beaten the Clippers in overtime in November, the Thunder won the season series, with one game remaining on Jan. 22.
Blake Griffin had 31 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers who play 10 of their next 11 on the road.

Hiking the Shawangunk Ridge.
Ryan and I sort of went on a spontaneous 5 mile hike yesterday. We were in the Catskill region and decided to check out the Mohonk preserve, which included the Shawangunk Mountain Ridge which is part of the Catskill mountains. We were expecting to have a fun day outdoors, take some pretty pictures, and get some fresh air…what we weren't expecting was to see such breathtaking views, and such awe-inspiring rock formation.
The Ridge is located just West of New Paltz, and there are many trails at all difficulty levels. We chose one of the easier hikes, and were glad we did because after walking 5-miles, we were beat. It's between 1.5 and 2 hours out of the city, and I highly recommend it as a day-trip, it's worth it!
*Unfortunately my computer is broken and I can't upload my pictures from this weekend, so this image that I found from google images will have to suffice.
This is the area where the beau made me climb a mountain so he could propose.
This makes me beyond homesick. It's a good thing we're going home for Memorial Day Weekend.

School Messenger Calling Program
Hononegah High School is using the School Messenger calling program for sending out emergency announcements, snow-day calls, and other general information messages to our parents. The numbers dialed are from our student management system's database with information provided to us by parents at registration and throughout the year.
When a general parent call is made, such as a snow day, only the parent's primary number is dialed. In the case of two guardians, only the primary number listed in our system can be called, although we are able to add a number and parent manually if you desire. Changes to our numbers can also be accepted by e-mailing Jan Gearhart at: email@example.com (815-624-2070, and press zero), or Cathy Gentry at: email@example.com.
When an emergency call goes out all family phone numbers in our system are called except those specifically coded as "work". If a parent specifically requested a work number as a location to call, that number will also be dialed. If you would like to remove that number, please contact the employees listed above. We occasionally have employers who do not want their places of business called when these emergency calls go out. Cell phone numbers are good choices for the system's calling list as well.
A general call takes about 15-30 minutes for all calls to go out, and an emergency call takes about 10 minutes for all calls to go out to our parents.
No technology is perfect but District 207 is attempting to contact our parents as quickly and efficiently as possible. We thank you for your feedback and are always looking at ways to improve our communications with the public.

With the weight of humanity's survival on Tom and Lexi's shoulders, they must defeat Tom's mortal enemy and find a way to destroy the omnipotent Espheni Power Core. Meanwhile, a new, terrifying Espheni Bomb is dropped onto Chinatown, immobilizing the 2nd Mass and preparing them for Human Skitterizaton. Mira Sorvino and Treva Etienne guest-star.
Tom's mission to destroy the Espheni Power Core is complicated by Lexi's return. Lexi is forced to take extreme measures to save her father's life -- and her own -- after a Beamer malfunction. Meanwhile, the 2nd Mass fears an impending Espheni strike by the scorched Overlord. Treva Etienne guest-stars.
Tom and the remnants of the 2nd Mass learn to pilot a Beamer as part of their plan to destroy the Espheni Power Core, and the group draws straws to see who will embark on the dangerous mission. The threat of death hanging over everyone triggers long-simmering confrontations between many of our main characters, ultimately bringing the 2nd Mass closer together. Treva Etienne guest-stars.
While members of the 2nd Mass attempt to dig out a shot-down Beamer, Tom and a small team follow the Volm to a supply cache in search of equipment to expedite the process. Along the way, they encounter a friend, and must decide whether or not to trust her. Back at camp, Maggie and Ben grow closer as he teaches her to hone her new skills, while Pope and Sara (guest star Mira Sorvino) continue to clash, resulting in a fight from which they may never recover. Treva Etienne guest-stars.
The 2nd Mass picks up the pieces after a devastating alien attack leaves Maggie fighting for her life...and Hal fighting for Maggie. Meanwhile, Tom and Dingaan (guest star Treva Etienne) are cut off from the rest of the group, buried under tons of rubble, where they must rely on an Enemy Ship to rescue them. Mira Sorvino guest-stars.
Lexi emerges more powerful and ruthless than ever. Tom and the 2nd Mass must work together with the Volm to hold off the invading Espheni forces in what becomes the bloodiest battle of the series. Mira Sorvino, Treva Etienne and Robert Sean Leonard guest-star.
After months apart, Tom finally reunites with his family and the 2nd Mass. But the joyous reunion is cut short as Lexi undergoes a health crisis tied to her hybrid DNA. The crisis pits family members against one another as they fight over how to deal with Lexi's illness. Anne goes to great lengths to save her daughter. Treva Etienne, Jessy Schram and Robert Sean Leonard guest-star.
After freeing Matt from the Espheni Youth Camp, Tom encounters two mysterious strangers in the woods, who attack his family before embarking with him on a violent journey. Hal faces almost insurmountable odds as he tries to lead the remaining Volm and 2nd Mass to a place of perceived safety. Lexi and Anne have a difference of opinions -- resulting in dangerous consequences. Mira Sorvino, Treva Etienne and Robert Sean Leonard guest-star.
After breaking out of the Espheni Ghetto, Tom and the 2nd Mass seek refuge in a Volm hideout, where tensions run high between the Volm and humans. Tom sets off with Weaver and Cochise to find Matt, leaving Hal in charge. Meanwhile in Chinatown, Anne is reunited with Lexi, and comes to realize that the little girl she saw 6 months ago is now a grown woman. Mira Sorvino and Treva Etienne guest-star.
Tom and the 2nd Mass hatch an elaborate plan to escape the confines of the Espheni Ghetto. Meanwhile back in Chinatown, after learning from Ben that Lexi has been keeping a deadly secret, Maggie confronts Lexi publicly. At the Espheni Youth Camp, Matt tries to talk Mira out of a dangerous escape plan. While trekking through the woods with her guerilla fighters, Anne has a flashback to her time in the Espheni Tower with Karen (guest star Jessy Schram), where a terrifying secret about Lexi is revealed. Treva Etienne guest-stars.
The Espheni reveal their new plan to Tom, and he is faced with an impossible decision. Meanwhile, Weaver and Pope investigate a way out of the Espheni prison, while Matt struggles to hide his true allegiance from the "Team Leaders" at the Espheni Youth Camp. Elsewhere, Anne leads an exhausting search for her daughter Lexi, while Ben's concerns about Lexi's increasing powers uncovers a devastating secret she's been keeping. Treva Etienne and Robert Sean Leonard guest-star.
On the outskirts of Charleston, just steps away from perceived safety, The Mason Clan and the remaining 2nd Mass suddenly find themselves under brutal attack by a new Espheni war machine and a new, deadly creation unlike anything previously encountered. Divided like chattel and spread to the winds, The Masons must each forge new relationships and abilities to survive. Treva Etienne guest-stars.
When the 2nd mass destroys a crucial Espheni base, a relentless enemy is taken down and the Mason family is reunited with those who had been lost. But the arrival of more interstellar players puts the fate of the Earth's remaining survivors in doubt. Robert Sean Leonard guest stars.
Tom uncovers confidential intelligence about the heart of the alien operation. Meanwhile, Charleston prepares to mount an offensive against the Espheni, but a massive explosion brings the operation to a halt. And the identity of the mole is finally uncovered, but not before more blood has been shed. Robert Sean Leonard and Gloria Reuben guest star.
Things seem much too calm for Tom, making him suspicious of his surroundings. On his way back to Charleston, he makes a number of discoveries, some incredibly surprising and others utterly horrifying. Meanwhile, Weaver and Pope butt heads over how to handle the suspected mole. Gloria Reuben guest stars.
The Masons run into trouble on the road when a family of outlaws intercepts their search-and-rescue mission. Meanwhile, looming doubts over the construction of a massive alien weapon ignite a conflict of interests, and an investigation to apprehend a killer on the loose hits a road block. Gloria Reuben guest stars.

Gabu Programme Unit
Population: 214,250
Districts: 5
Communities: 138
Sponsored children: Around 6,000
Plan first started working in Gabu in 2006 as part of the Bafata Programme Unit. In 2009, Gabu was created as an individual programme unit and projects have been so successful that we hope to establish new offices to help more children realise their full potential.
The standard of living in Gabu is low. Agriculture provides what few jobs there are and the average monthly income per household is 155,000 CFA - 250,000 CFA (US$330–540).
Programme highlights
Mother and child health care
Plan provides training to medical staff, tackles malnutrition and distributes medical kits. We are also is in the process of establishing a project which will create a fully equipped mobile clinic in the area. This will distribute mosquito nets to children to help reduce the under-5 child mortality rate and help prevent malaria.
We will also be training key people in basic health procedures and will support the regional health management committees to improve care.
To address the shortage of qualified medical personnel, we will train community groups on how to deal with basic health issues such as cholera, malaria diagnosis and treatment, and antenatal care.
Quality basic education
Plan has trained teams on how to manage their community schools and distributed desks, chairs and tables.
In Guinea-Bissau many families still do not send their girls to school, instead having them stay at home and work. So Plan campaigns to raise awareness of the importance of girls' education and we also support the local government to help implement its education policies and practices.
Plan's global Learn Without Fear campaign helps to further reduce violence in schools and provide a healthy learning environment in the area.
Safe drinking water and sanitation
Plan is running an ongoing project to build school latrines and raise community awareness on the importance of safe drinking water. We have also carried out campaigns on emergency safe sanitation and cholera prevention after an outbreak in the region.
