MOUNDSVILLE - Williams Energy, Blue Racer Midstream and MarkWest Energy spent nearly $900 million in Marshall County during the last tax year on their natural gas processing plants, but those same plants are taxed at only a fraction of that amount, county officials said.
Marshall County Assessor Chris Kessler and Commissioner Robert Miller believe a 2011 bill passed by the West Virginia Legislature intended to entice a company to build a multi-billion dollar ethane cracker plant in the state may be allowing these companies to pay far less property taxes than they otherwise would for these processing plants, de-ethanizer units and fractionation facilities.
Under the bill, any new plant built in the state is eligible for tax credits that, in reality, bring the overall tax burden to only 5 percent of a plant's value for the first 10 years it is operating.
Under the legislation, only $45 million of the $900 million - 5 percent - is taxable.
"I believe a 95 percent tax break on these is excessive," Kessler said. "That legislation was supposed to attract a $1 billion ethane cracker. But the language allows companies to take the tax credit with just a $20 million investment."
Because of the tax credits approved by the West Virginia State Tax Department, Kessler said Marshall County overall will not realize $10 million next year in property taxes that it otherwise would have received, based on the county's assessed values - $2 million that would have gone into the county's general fund and $8 million that would have gone to Marshall County Schools.
"We didn't realize this was happening until Chris reviewed the property taxes," Miller said. "That is $10 million this year that we are not going to get. And because it appears there will be even more construction next year, we will be losing even more that we should be getting."
In 2011, the Legislature passed the Marcellus Gas Manufacturing and Development Act - Senate Bill 465 - later signed into law by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. According to Kessler, this allows developers to pay only 5 percent of the annual property tax they normally would.
"It was intended to attract a cracker and downstream industries," said West Virginia Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Glen Dale, himself a sponsor of the 2011 bill. "We need to incentivize ethane cracking."
According to the bill, facilities eligible for the tax credit include "any factory, mill, chemical plant, refinery, warehouse, building or complex of buildings ..." used in connection with the operation of the facility in a manufacturing business.
Williams currently operates three processing plants - Oak Grove, along Fork Ridge Road; Fort Beeler, along U.S. 250 north of Cameron; and the Williams fractionator along state Route 2 south of Moundsville. Blue Racer operates a new plant along state Route 2 at Natrium, and MarkWest operates a facility at Majorsville at the eastern edge of Marshall County.
"We appreciate the investments these companies are making in our county. But our established companies have to pay property taxes at the full rate," Miller said, citing Axiall Corp., Bayer Material Science and the recently re-branded coal mines now operating under the Murray Energy Corp. banner.
Upon discovering the tax loophole, Chris Kessler and Miller sent a letter to Jeff Kessler to see if there was anything that could be done to close it.
"I cannot take away the tax credits that they got," Jeff Kessler said. "What I can do is look at some ways to recapture some of that in terms of value-added" tax.
"I've got some ideas up my sleeve," he added.
Chris Kessler said he knows the matter likely will not be addressed in the current legislative session, but said he just wanted to let the legislators know what is happening.
"Maybe the tax could be phased out earlier," Chris Kessler said, noting it is currently set to last 10 years.
Officials with Blue Racer and MarkWest could not immediately be reached for comment. An official with Williams said she had not seen the letter to Sen. Kessler and until she did, could not comment.

Implementing Fuji integration scenario using Camel SE
By Louis Polycarpou on Aug 12, 2008
I recently tried to implement the scenarios presented in the Fuji screencast integration demos using Open ESB v2 and the new Apache Camel Service Engine.
Camel is an integration framework that implements EIPs using a choice of DSL that can be used standalone or in a JBI service engine to build routing and mediations of JBI components. Similarly, Fuji provides a rapid mechanism for implementing enterprise integration patterns and integrating JBI components. It includes a light-weight JBI micro-kernel that can be installed into an OSGi container...[Read More]

I guarantee that if we did this, a large chunk of the developed apps would rely on
Even limiting 'latest' behavior to within a major version is a bad idea. Consider what could be allowed to change while still only being a 'minor' revision.
The only thing we could maybe safely do is add new methods.
But what's the point of that? You'd have to recompile your code to take advantage of the new methods anyway, might as well kick up the version number while you're in there.
Note that all of these problems become infinitely worse once you consider libraries. Now apps stop working because of some code the developer doesn't know, and may have no control over.
*As an aside, The Old New Thing will make you very paranoid about application compatibility. Consider that a recommendation.
If you are thinking about creating a full fledged application that could be open to users, I highly suggest against using a latest version API call. This is because even though you want to keep up with the latest version, it would be horrible for your application to break, and your users to have to wait until you dealt with the changes to the API to be able to use your service again.
The only place I can see this being viable is possibly a development area, but do you really want to go to sleep, and then wake up the next morning to a bunch of error messages? I think it would be far better to simply keep up with the changes on the site, and then update the version you use when you are ready.
If you insist on creating a latest version API, I would make sure that users are strongly cautioned when using it.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
A sculpture of five larger-than-life cyclists hurtling toward an imaginary finish line got the highest score Friday in a competition to create a piece of bicycle art to commemorate this summer�s USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
�Endurance,� by Boulder-based artist Joshua Wiener, got 224.5 points. It was followed by �Gearflakes� by Durango artist Shan Wells, with 197 points, and �Game On!� by Mary Ann Baker from Mimbres, N.M., which got 186 points.
�Gearflakes� plays on the similarity in the shapes of bicycle gears and snowflakes. Baker�s �Game On!� is a sculpture of three arches of cyclist images spinning �freely in the wind.�
Models of the three finalists� art proposals will be on public display at the Squeaky Wheel Art Gallery, 125 E. 10th St., on April 19. The city�s Artwork Selection Panel will then decide on the winner April 20 after private interviews.
As the host city for the Aug. 20 start of the 2012 Pro Cycling Challenge, Durango is required by contract to publicly commemorate the event. The city decided to commission a piece of art so it could also �celebrate the city�s cycling legacy,� said Cristie Scott, a member of the Durango Public Arts Commission.
Wiener, a former Fort Lewis College student who lived in Durango from 1993 to 2001, plans on taking advantage of the art�s designated space in the Florida Road roundabout to create an illusion of motion.
�Endurance� is intended as a kinetic sculpture without any moving parts. Instead, it relies on �controlled perspective� to create an illusion of racing cyclists since views of the sculpture will be dictated by the contour of the roundabout.
�When you have a controlled change (in perspective) there�s a lot you can do with it to animate a piece,� said Wiener in a phone interview.
If the art was placed in the middle of a plaza and people were free to approach it from any direction, Wiener could not pull off the same effect, he said.
Each of Wiener�s five cyclists is a layered composition of half-inch bars of solid steel which �will be allowed to rust so they will never need maintenance and always look beautiful in the surrounding landscape,� he said in his proposal.
This impressed city officials conscious of Durango�s tight budget.
Sherri Dugdale, the city�s public information officer, said the city could never afford to a commission a new piece of public art without a $25,000 donation from its sponsor, Bank of Colorado.
When deciding on the finalists, selection committee members were guided by practical considerations. They wanted the art to be easily recognizable as an homage to cycling. So they gave low marks to art that looked more like serpents and windmills on the Nebraska prairie. They had 15 proposals in all.
�There has been such a backlash against abstract art by the public,� said Marilee Jantzer, an art historian at Fort Lewis College.
Because the art must be ready for the Aug. 20 race, the selection committee also appreciated how well artists thought out their proposals and their experience in putting a project together.
�Their work history has to be rock solid,� said Shannan Campbell-Wells, owner of Sorrel Sky Gallery in Durango. �We cannot miss this deadline.�
The seven-day race will bring some of the world�s top cyclists to Colorado. The seven-day event ends in Denver, with the first stage going from Durango to Telluride.

Sports-Specific Injuries
In This Article:
With advanced cheerleading there is a risk of serious traumatic injuries and fractures due to falls. Jumping and landing can cause ankle and knee injuries. Wrist, elbow, and shoulder injuries can occur from repetitive quick motions. Because cheerleaders are usually thin, they are at higher risk of eating disorders and stress fractures.
To prevent cheerleading injuries: General strengthening of the upper and lower body should be done two to three times a week. Stretching should be done daily to maintain flexibility. Balance training is helpful to prevent ankle sprains and falls.
The upper body is susceptible to injuries in climbing. Handholds can result in finger tendon injuries; tendinitis and nerve injuries can also occur from the strain and stretch of climbing holds. To prevent catastrophic injuries, climbing should never be done alone, and preferably with a very experienced climber. Wearing a helmet is recommended to prevent head injuries due to accidents or falling debris.
To prevent climbing injuries: Climbers should do general body strengthening two to three times weekly. Wrist-strengthening and balance exercises are excellent injury prevention measures. Learning proper technique and having working and correctly used equipment is crucial to safety and injury prevention.
Cycling often leads to repetitive motion injuries, particularly knee pain. Tendinitis of the knee, Achilles, and hip can occur. Nerve injuries can occur across the wrist and in the feet due to positioning and pressure on these areas. Neck pain is common and can occasionally be serious, with disc herniations leading to pinched nerves. Thigh and genital irritation can occur with long rides in the heat. Falls can lead to severe abrasions, fractures often to the collarbone, and head injuries.
To prevent cycling injuries: Always wear a helmet, and ride a bike appropriate for your size. Padded gloves can prevent hand pain. A comfortable or cut-out seat and padded shorts will protect the genital area. You should be extremely familiar with clicking in and out of cleats and know how to shift without looking down. Biking alone is not recommended; having a cell phone is an excellent idea in case of emergency. Because cycling is easy on most joints, correcting seat and bike alignment usually corrects pain in the knees, hips, or neck. Stretching in the opposite direction of the crouched cycling position should be done after riding with extension exercises (arched head, neck, and back) to improve posture. Yoga twice a week would be an excellent way to prevent posture problems and establish core strength and stability. Weight-bearing exercises such as walking, hiking, or jogging with upper body strengthening should be done two to three times a week to protect bones.
Injuries vary between types of dance. In general, hip, lower leg, and back pain is most common due to a frequently arched back. Ankle, foot, and toe problems can result from en-pointe exercises. Poor turnout can lead to hip problems. Knees can be strained and cartilage torn from twisting, rotation, squatting, jumping, and landing, resulting in knee, foot, and ankle tendinitis. Stress fractures and dancers fractures (foot) can also occur, especially in thin dancers who also are at risk of eating disorders.
To prevent dance injuries: Proper technique and flexibility is crucial. Rest is essential to prevent overuse injuries. Proper nutrition with adequate calories and calcium is necessary to prevent stress fractures. Abdominal or core strengthening should be done at least three times weekly to prevent back pain and injury.
Neck and back injuries can be common from high-velocity movements and impact of water entry. Shoulders can become unstable and painful. Repeated high-velocity water impact can cause wrist tendinitis and chronic sprains. Back injuries, including spondylolisthesis, can occur. Jumping results in overuse ankle and lower leg injuries. Other traumatic injuries include contusions and lacerations and occur more often in 10 M platform diving. Divers can also develop problems with their ears or repeated dizziness.
To prevent diving injuries: Overall strengthening along with core stabilization such as pilates should be done three times weekly. The focus should be on back, abdominal, shoulder, and wrist strengthening. Stretching should be done daily to maintain necessary flexibility. Lower leg strengthening and stretching should be done three times weekly to prevent calf, ankle, and foot pain and injury. Proper nutrition and adequate calories are crucial, as divers are at high risk of eating disorders leading to poor bone health.
Activities in fencing are done primarily on one side of the body, leading to overuse injuries on that side. Leg overuse injuries include iliotibial band syndrome and plantar fasciitis. Ankle sprains, foot injuries, knee ligament sprains, meniscus tears, and wrist and hand tendinitis can also occur. Lumbar sprains, along with other causes of back pain, can be common due to the forward posture. Traumatic injuries are a risk from the weapon.
To prevent fencing injuries: Leg and spine strength and flexibility is essential. To maintain post
ure and promote body balance, core strengthening and stretching such as yoga should be done at least twice weekly.
Field Hockey
Like most field sports, ankle sprains are most common. Spine pain and even disc herniations can occur due to bending and rotating required during play. Knee injuries of all types can be frequent. Hand, wrist, and elbow sprains can occur. Due to the contact nature of the sport, as well as the use of sticks and balls, fractures, shoulder and knee trauma, and head and face injuries can occur.
To prevent field hockey injuries: Balance drills and overall body strengthening and stretching should be done three times weekly. Proper technique is important in stick and ball handling to prevent overuse injuries of the wrists and back, and equipment should be properly sized.

Hello I have the following problem:
I created a grid in QGIS. For some unknown reason QGIS doesn't tesselate the plane correctly. Sometimes there are polygons with different "id" that represents the same portion of the area. I loaded the Shapefile into postgis (without noticing this) and began to have troubles in queries. When I look for the problem I saw that sometimes 2 or even 4 polygons represent exactly the same region. How could I delete those repeating polygons?

Taylor Decker is the only starting lineman back, and he didn't play. Potential starters Antonio Underwood, Jacoby Boren and Darryl Baldwin lined up for the Scarlet and seemed to do a better job of protecting Cardale Jones than the Gray did J.T. Barrett. Collectively, there were five sacks and the Scarlet running attack averaged less than 4 yards a pop. That was with the entire starting defensive line sitting this one out. In his postgame press conference, Urban Meyer said the OL has a long way to go to get up to Big Ten championship standards. The best news is the Buckeyes have one of the best line coaches in the country in Ed Warinner.
Most guaranteed starters on the roster either sat out or played very little. Nothing's been decided at tailback, but Carlos Hyde's heir apparent Ezekiel Elliott certainly appears to be No. 1 based on his short workday. Showing off the shiftiest moves was Warren Ball, who was all but forgotten in 2013. But the back Urban Meyer seems most excited about is early enrollee freshman Curtis Samuel (18 yards rushing, 17 receiving).
With Braxton Miller out this spring recovering from shoulder surgery, the focus was on the battle at No. 2 between sophomore Cardale Jones and redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett. Neither is close to being the next Kenny Guiton. Barrett, built like Miller but not nearly as elusive, was sacked three times in the first half when he chucked 27 passes (completing 15). Jones, built more like LeBron James, at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, can throw the ball through a wall, but accuracy and touch are concerns. Meyer isn't ready to proclaim anyone a "starting" wide receiver in the fall. Devin Smith played briefly, leaving more opportunities for Michael Thomas (6 catches, 64 yards) and junior college transfer Corey Smith (5 for 72). Thomas made a one-handed, left-handed stab of a pass to set up a TD and nabbed another thrown behind him. He had 12 catches in the spring game two years ago, but then caught only three balls in the regular season before redshirting last year.
GRADE: C minus
There was no Joey Bosa, no Noah Spence, no Adophus Washington, no Michael Bennett. Not even Jamal Marcus (academic issues). No worries. We can say with confidence this is the deepest crew on the team. So deep there's little chance that fifth-year senior Rashad Frazier will see the field in the fall and he was one of the stars Saturday with two sacks, one a strip tackle he recovered in the end zone for a Scarlet touchdown. Frazier sat out as a transfer from Purdue two years ago and then got hurt last season.
Not sure what to make of the play where early enrollee and five-star recruit Raekwon McMillan lined up out wide like a cornerback, other than he ran step-for-step with the receiver downfield. He's obviously got wheels and showed he's stout, stuffing a goal-line run. Meyer said he will definitely be in the rotation with Curtis Grant. Weak-side starter Josh Perry, like Grant, made only a brief appearance. There should be a real battle on the strongside between spring sensation Darron Lee and Glenville grad Chris Worley, who led everyone in tackles with nine for the Scarlet.
Starting cornerback Doran Grant was one of the stars and he didn't even play in the scrimmage. The former Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary track star was the overall winner in the halftime race between some of the Buckeyes and OSU students, beating criminal justice major Malcolm "Gray Worm" Branson from Massillon in the final, head-to-head 40-yard dash. Eli Apple had a good day at corner and, as promised, the secondary had tighter coverage than we saw all of last season. Of course, some of that could be all the second- and third-stringers that flooded the field Saturday.
The scrimmage featured periodic field goal contests between freshman Sean Nuernberger and fifth-year senior Kyle Clinton. Nuernberger had the stronger and more accurate leg, although neither had to face a rush. Ditto for punter Cameron Johnston, who picked up where he left off last season. Three of his six punts were downed inside the 20, including one at the 1, and he had a pair of 54-yard boots. There were no kick or punt returns, but maybe the Buckeyes found a special teamer Saturday in student Malcom "Gray Worm" Branson. He boasted of 4.28 speed. Although he wasn't that good in the halftime 40-yard dash, he was fast enough to beat Dontre Wilson.
This spring game featured less action by returning starters than I can remember in 28 years of covering the Buckeyes. It's easy to understand limiting the risk of injury, but with OSU replacing four starters on the offensive line and trying to develop a No. 2 quarterback, you would think the more looks those candidates get against the four returning starters on the DL the better. Especially since they have the potential to be one of the best front fours in the country. Apparently, Meyer didn't want his offenses getting beat up too badly in front of 60,000 fans.

What is the best brand of cat6 patch cable to buy?
14 Answers answer
Buy? I thought everyone took that kind of thing from their office. ;-)
Ok, seriously, try Monoprice. http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10232
@missellienc: Looks like a lot of options in the sizes which is good. I just upgraded my router and I'm looking to upgrade some of the cables. It helps to have lots of sizes because there is more option for placement. Any other options I can compare with these?
I haven't ordered from them in a while, but RiteAV has some amazingly inexpensive cables. I've bought a few coax and ethernet cables from them. All are still working today. (The oldest bought ~5 years ago.)
Unless you're ordering a lot, the shipping cost makes this a clear loser to monoprice, though.
This isn't a product I bother going brand crazy for. I've never had any issues using no-names for patch cables.
Agree with @gregorylikescheapstu. Unless you're doing something like setting up a datacenter with long runs of cables in areas with potentially high interference, it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other. Just get whatever's cheapest in the length you need. Monoprice also has a lot of colors, so you can match it to your decor.
Thanks, I didn't know if brand was an issue cause sometimes it is. It's good to know that I can go with the cheapest cables.
@cornutnc: Watch out I have been putting stuff in my cart since I found out about Monoprice (thanks fellow woot dealers. So far I have cables, and a TV arm for wall mounting my TV a switch for composite cables and wall plates. Still cheaper the wall mount arm from my local stores, so I should really not complain.
Yet another vote for Monoprice. Can't go wrong with their cables. The monitor arm I bought from there, while not perfect, is also way more affordable for my smaller monitor than something like the Ergotron arm I have on my larger monitor. (Would not use a cheapo arm on the large one though...)
@apfrehm: I am thinking of getting this for my 47" TV
Should I? Everyone seems to love the stuff.
@caffeine_dude: Probably. Reviews on Monoprice seem to be pretty reliable.
Monitor arm I bought was this model:
Only problem with it is that the monitor itself isn't perfectly level, and that is more of a factor of the arm positioning (and how the arm sags only ever so slightly, but enough to create the issue) than anything else. If you have the arm just right, you don't notice it. If the monitor isn't directly next to the larger monitor, you don't notice it. I think others commented on this in the reviews.
There is also a light vibration to it if I type with the arm completely extended, however I type hard, and it is the two-segment arm, so that doesn't surprise me. I don't have an Ergotron arm that would be a match to this one (just the bulky heavy duty one for my P2770HD tv) however I am guessing this is the case with any arm that extends this far.
Another option is bulk cable. Monoprice has this for sale, but you can find it lots of places. (I would trust the Monoprice quality, so I'd probably buy theirs...)
That, the crimp tool, and a bag of the connectors (maybe some connector jackets to make it pretty and keep the tab safe) can get you most any size cable you need, if you are willing to do a little extra work. If I had the disposable income for it (and hadn't just spent said income on a used wine fridge that is just OK) I would be doing the same. Being able to have cables at exactly the length you need is very nice, makes cable management a lot easier.

@mrzman: Even if you were doing something like that, Monoprice sells STP cables. If you were doing something that large scale you could probably get a better price going mfg. direct or something though.
I purchase all my cables and supplies through www.cablingdiscountwarehouse.com. They offer very good quality materials for inexpensive prices. They also provide a lot of the hardware associated with using Cat5E and Cat6 Cables. This has worked best for my needs.

Opening Statement
"The running game has to be a part of our offense. I think in the long term it will help us throw it better. It will give us a way to score points. Defensively, I thought we played hard; we did find a few times where we got a little tired and bogged down but didn't quite get everything we got to get. I'm proud of the way we got some plays, got some turnovers, got two fourth-down stops which were huge. We can get a lot better defensively."
"Offensively, we had a couple of turnovers. One when we had a chance to salt the game a little bit, although 24-0 in this day and age is not salted away by any stretch of the imagination, but we had a chance to go up by 24 at one time and we turned it over going in on the five, certainly a negative."
"With the kicking game, except for giving up the bunt (onside kick) and getting a PAT blocked, I thought we recovered well in making sure they didn't return that for two. With the exception for those two things, I think we held them to (-6) yards punt returning, we got one turnover in the kicking game off the rugby (punt). Their average starting position was at the 20, when you kick into the end zone they get it at the 25."
"We lost the penalty battle. We certainly got plenty to work on. I'm glad we're working on it with a win. I'm glad we're working on it with the kind of win it was. It wasn't all that beautiful, but it was one of those things we had to keep coming back to the table to get the job done."
"We've got UL-Lafayette coming in this week. UL-Lafayette was championship caliber in the Sun Belt last year and did a great job. Mark Hudspeth is a high energy guy that is a smart football coach and has done a great job. They got us down there last year and we helped them a little bit, but they got us. We're looking forward to the opportunity to have a good week and to get ready for our home opener and conference opener at 6 pm. I hope our people are engaged about this thing. Let me tell you, this game this week is bigger than anything we've had in a few years as far of having good support at the game."
On history and matchup with Louisiana-Lafayette
"We didn't get it done last year, but we've been able to get it done against them over a period of time. It's all about those guys that are lining up on each and every down no matter if it's offense, defense, or special teams and performing. We had our chances last year, we gave up too much. We weren't good enough to get it done. We may be as good as ULL or not as good as ULL, but when you tee this football up and the shape it is, you don't ever know which way it's going to be bounce, but you're going to try to get it to bounce your way.
On number of plays in the UAB game
"Probably shooting for 75, which means we're generally pretty good if we're getting in that range. Whatever amount it takes to win is the amount we're looking for. We are fast paced and I think we get an advantage when we're gelling and moving fast-paced. We are total signal football team on offense and when we don't sub, we try to get off as soon as that umpire moves. We missed a few things in the game that were close to being big. But, the number of plays and UAB was not going to run up and snap. They were going to pick their spots where to run it. But, I thought (offensive coordinator) Kenny (Edenfield) and the offensive staff stayed patient. We rushed the football. Our offensive line got after it I thought with Shawn (Southward), with the exception with the turnover, had a great day. He had to shoulder the burden because you know with a couple guys being out and young.
On the possible outcome of this Saturday's game
"Well you know I have no idea what it will end up being. I think they are very capable moving the football; they have a quarterback that I've liked since he was a freshman even when he was getting in the game just a little bit. It could turn into a high-scoring game. But games these days can get away and get up into the 30s', for some reasons I don't think it will be that way. The team that can rush the football and control the ball and not turn it over, provided everything else is equal will have the best chance to win."
On looking past Louisiana-Lafayette and looking ahead to Mississippi State
"Well I'm a lot more interested in what we're facing this week than looking ahead to Mississippi State. That game is basically the furthest thing from my mind. Regardless, this game this week is the most important game; it's also the next game. We've had a pretty good legacy at Veterans Memorial (Stadium). Of course, we will have Mississippi State in the same venue. Lafayette is the target right now."
On team overcoming adversity against UAB
"I was really proud of them, but we certainly weren't perfect. You had a couple of things in the game that made us not perfect, but we got a couple of turnovers. We missed a few things offensively and I thought our defense was better and really rose up on a couple of occasions and got us a three turnovers. One of the key plays I thought the key play was when Willis came all the way from having covered a guy and came back out and had to come to balance, use the sideline, made the hit, and the ball came hit and we got it on the 2-yard line. I thought we had some really good things defensively that we can build on this week."
On Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week De'Von Terry
"I think I said something about this at the press conference in Birmingham, but I've let De'Von Terry off to go work to pay his bills. I've told him 'Hey, when we get into scout team work this week, you've got to be back'. He's been tenacious in his goals and in what he's wanted to do. He's like me, he's not perfect, he hasn't been perfect, but he's developed into a dependable, young man who has worked hard and he got some payback the other day and I was really proud of him."
Keys to the Louisiana-Lafayette game
"Rushing the football and controlling the rush will be paramount. Certainly, you mix in a couple of turnovers either way, you offset being to rush or control the rush."
On the importance of the running game in the Troy offense
"If we can continue to rush the ball, you know we were below 100 (yards per game) last year, if we can continue to rush the ball consistently, you know around 150 yards per game, that average would really give us a enough thump, to make up folks not just sit in there and not just flush out to cover the pass. We're pretty good throwing it, but we may be able to win a game without rushing for those kinds of numbers, but it would certainly give us a better chance if we could."

As a member of my church is it wrong for me to stop paying tithe and offering when I feel that it just gets into the pockets of greedy leaders in the church? I know am not to judge but what do I do when it is obvious that the developments expected are never seen? I will rather give to the poor, which I am always ready to do.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Whatever you do, don't stop tithing. If you don't want to give to your own congregation, at least find another ministry in service to God that could also use the money.
If you're donating money to your church, with a good-faith expectation that it's to be used to do the Lord's work, and you find out that that's not true, then you certainly shouldn't continue to allow your money to be misappropriated!
Does your church have a hierarchy, with someone above your local leaders that you can talk to about your suspicions and ask them to investigate? If so, that would be the obvious course of action. If not, or if it becomes clear that they don't care or even support it, remember that Jesus's strongest condemnations were not for unbelievers, but for hypocrites, especially hypocrites in a position of leadership!
A person who claims to be a Christian leader but who is working to build up themselves instead of strengthening the Kingdom of God is no Christian, and you have no moral duty to follow such a person's leadership. If things get to that point and there's nothing you can do about it, you really ought to look at finding a different church.
One thing that you should definitely keep in mind is that if you are tithing faithfully to the Lord, then, as far as your giving to God is concerned, you will be counted faithful. The people who handle your tithes are under God's conviction and in His hand.
Now with that being said, it is your duty, as a church member, to reproach other members in their sins within the church. If you consider yourself a member and this church to be your family, you may want to stay there and you have every right to do what you can to set things straight. Plus, out of love for all your fellow sheep in the church, you should desire honest shepards for them too!
Update: My pasture shared this with me:
An honest leadership will have a balance sheet of the church's financial condition readily accessible by all members; you should ask for that. If they are unwilling to provide that information, you have a right to be suspicious. If need be, seek out 1 or 2 others to investigate with you and demand an honest explanation from the leadership. There definitely needs to be financial accountability in the church, and leaders should be humble and willing to be held accountable.. If they will not, find another church.
My question to you is: Why would you continue to stay in a church led by greedy leaders? The Church is us not a building. The building is the place we meet. The pastor is the person who shepherds and feeds the flock...making disciples, growing people up. Get with the Lord in prayer and ask Him, your Great Shepherd, to lead you to the right pastor. The Lord loves you too much to permit anything less, but it is up to you to listen to His heart and then take action. May the Lord bless you and guide you.
Actually you are commanded to make this type of judgement, you are not judging the church leaders salvation, rather you are judging how they are spending your tithe to God. Same as you would judge a plumber who never fixes your sink.
Your tithe should go where you personally judge it will be most effective in the long term. It is wrong to allow the money that you would give to the needy be taken from them.
All of our money is God's money, anything beyond basic living expenses should be considered for tithe. Very few of us come close to that, but it is what we should strive for. It is a really big deal how you end up spending your money while you are still here on earth, your tithe should be given wisely.
It should be noted that the way most churches collect money causes people to violate a commandment of Jesus:
You, and you alone are responsible for where and how your tithe is given.
From the Word of Faith perspective taking time to see developments and even the misuse or waste of money is not a major offense and should not be a cause to stop giving. Some sects of the WoF do not believe in any form of debt and so when churches have building projects it is common for them to take years to fund and complete. Some build piecewise and others store up until they can completely pay of the project.
Other times money is lost due to mismanagement. I know of two churches which have invested thousands of dollars to buy and/or build buildings which did not work out. Some due to no fault of the ministry itself. They were dealing with crooks. No matter how optimized any ministry is there will always be a percentage of waste and if there is no waste then the team leading the project is mismanaged by a perfectionist.
However, if you designate funds then your funds must go to that project. If you do not designate the destination of your funds than the ministry may spend it on whatever is necessary like insurance, staffing, IT, light bills, air conditioning, lawn care or maintenance. Things which you might never notice unless you were part of the process which ensured the present-ability and use-ability of the facility and ministry.
Yes you can annoy your minister by asking where the money is going but the answer probably is going to make you comfortable and ensure the safety of the ministry.

My Canon lenses have the designation USM on them, which I assume is for the same reason that they say "Ultrasonic". What does this mean, and why or why do I not want it?
USM - Ultrasonic motor (This is the Canon Terminology)
This is a big improvement over older micro-motor based autofocus systems, which are significantly slower and louder. There are two types of USM systems "Micro" and "Ring". The preferred type is "Ring Type" which always allows for manual focus without turning off auto-focus. Most, but not all, Micro USM lenses from Canon also have full time manual focusing.
Benefits of Ultrasonic motors:
USM is a Canon trademark, so similar terms are used by other manufacturers. These other names include:
Ultrasonic Motor
You want it for a few reason:
You may NOT want it because:
Call me dumb but after few minutes of hard-thinking I still cannot come up with ANY other reason you may NOT want it. Making my answer almost identical to the previous one lol.
Ultrasonic motor (USM) in this case should not be associated with human being audible frequency. I do not think the lens manufacturer builds it for the reason of no noise during operation, but the advanced simpler control of the lens movement by using the sinusoidal electric wave at the ultrasonic range frequency. Ultrasonic motor is low speed and high torque, and other than any of electric motors with high speed and low torque. Accordingly, such of focus hunting can be eliminated by the characteristic of USM and eventually we can obtain faster auto focus with.
Ultrasonic motor is anyway more expensive to be compared with any of electric motors.
The preferable kind of USM is ring type, which involving few rotating/moving parts and so the simple construction, so that resulting very fast performing autofocus, nearly no noise and we can rotate the manual focus ring at any time regardless the focus mode. Another construction is micro USM, which is working as well as conventional electric motor. Even so, the advance of low speed and high torque remains benefit for fast auto focus. As well as the conventional motor, some sprockets are required for connecting the motor and the frame of lens which therefore more mechanical constructions is required rather than the ring type. Consequently, we can hear a harder noise during the operation and little slower auto focus. The auto focus, still, much faster comparing to other type of electric motors.
As well as the system construction is nearly same with electric motor, the manual focus ring will be rotated as well when it is set under auto focus mode. The only switching to manual focus mode allows us to rotate the ring manually. The exception is EF 50mm f/1.4 (micro) USM lens. You can rotate the focus ring manually at any time regardless the focus mode. A complex sprockets arrangement (look alike the latest car with automatic transmission, the wheel can be rotated at any direction under the engaged gear without damaging the gear box) leads us to operate the lens as well as by using the ring type.
As many people have mentioned USM = Ultrasonic motor. Its a small motor built into the lens. This means that the camera will focus MUCH faster without making noise (or much noise). There are actually 2 kinds of USM, "Ring Ultrasonic" (good) and "Micromotor Ultrasonic" (not so good) see here. If you're interested in a more technical explanation form canon, see here.
Amazon shows a 50mm lens at $100 for the non USM and $300 for the USM. AFAIK its the same glass in in both, so you're paying for the quick and quite motor. Its also heavier.

Another Development Camp Update
By: www.sarampage.com
The Panthers crossed the midway point of Development Camp on Wednesday, which consisted of a variety of off-ice activities intended to build chemistry and camaraderie amongst the group. The team hit the beach for some old-fashioned fun, including tug of war, volleyball and a scavenger hunt.
For the day's second "session," the team visited Feeding South Florida, the leading domestic hunger relief organization in the area, where they helped sort enough food to provide more than 6,700 meals to families in need.
Read about the
first two days of camp
, and check out our
interview with defenseman MacKenzie Weegar
, who signed an entry-level contract with Florida in late May.
JB Spisso, a performance coach and lead consultant for Elite Leadership Training, led the team through its off-ice activities. Spisso is a retired sergeant from the U.S. Army with 29 years of military and leadership experience – he spent some time in San Antonio at the end of last season running the players through a
vigorous off-ice training program
Florida's staff caught up with Spisso at camp to hear about his approach to training and how it applies in hockey.
What types of things are you looking for from the guys as week progresses?
We are trying to develop those communication skills. You've got kids from North America, Europe, most of them don't play together. We are trying to forge that foundation for success so that they can help each other. They can be a supporting element for each other and also use that as a guide, a mentorship program.
We know that they are all competing for a job. We get that. We want them to compete for a job. That is why everything we do this week has a competition, but we want them to also know, they have a foundation for success.
In what ways are you getting them to push both physically and mentally?
All of our team-building events, although they do have a physical element about it, there is a mental element about it that comes into play. If you don't plan, if you don't strategize, if you don't work together its going to be hard, its going to suck. If you do work together, it won't be as hard. That is what we want, we want them to understand that it's a team concept that wins.
Jonathan Racine, who is coming off a strong rookie season in San Antonio, is taking part in his first Development Camp. He shared his thoughts on the week so far.
How is camp going?
It is my first year at the camp. I am confident that camp is going pretty well. Trying to give some stuff to the young prospects that it's their first year here and that's all.
How was your first season in San Antonio?
That was a good experience. That was my first year. I learned a lot. We had good veterans. My coach helped me a lot to be comfortable.
How was your first game with the Panthers (Racine made his NHL debut on April 1 against the New York Islanders)?
That was a dream for me to play my first NHL game. I was happy. I was not expecting to play, but I played the game and I was pretty happy to be there and I did well I think.
What areas of your game are you hoping to improve this offseason?
I need to improve my skill, to be more confident with the puck and just work hard.
Anybody out there impress you at camp so far?
I did not see all the team. I just see Team Red. We have good prospects like [Mike] Matheson; he's pretty good. I don't know. I don't watch the other players when I am practicing.
How has the beach been today?
It has been fun. We had a scavenger hunt, we had a lot of fun and now I think we are going to play beach volleyball and have some fun.

I really hope Lark gets his chance to start. If Bronco puts in an injured Nelson for a throwaway game, I'll be deeply disappointed. After everything Lark has given to the program, he should at least be given the chance to start for his last game.

Couldn't agree more. There's absolutely no reason to play an injured Riley against New Mexico State. Lark has earned the right to start and play at least one entire game during his career at BYU.

Lark's collegiate career has been extremely sad. He was the real thing coming out of high school.He was named Deseret News 3A MVP as a senior, a Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News First-Team All-State selection, threw for 3,248 yards and 36 touchdowns, finished his career with 6,739 passing yards (third most in state history), tied state mark with 79-career touchdown passes, first-team All-State as a junior, threw for 3800 yards passing, 41 TD, 13 interceptions, 650 yards rushing and 7 TD his junior year. Furthermore, he was recruited by Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, Utah and USC. BYU didn't deserve to have him and Jake Heaps in its line up. Mendenhall's and Doman's decision making is completely illogical when it comes to starting quarterbacks. If the Cougar coaching staff is not careful, the school's quarterback pipeline is going to dry up. Hopefully, they don't mess up Taysom Hill next year and Mangum (when he gets off his mission).

In answer to the headline: Probably Not. I say that because I see Bronco as
still being the head coach, along with his OC Doman, and between them they
can't see anything but Riley Nelson. And, reason #2, Nelson would insist
on playing if he could barely stand up.
For some reason, the "good of the team" mentality does not exist on this BYU squad.

This just in. The QB pipeline has dried up. They quit pumping...the pipes are rusty and corroded. Bone dry....have been for years...
Sorry man! When Norm Chow left it moved with him. First it went to NC State with Rivers and then on to USC for a very long time.
Provo has turned into a different type of pipeline. A pipeline of strange coaching decisions.

We're always wanting to try a new QB because the starter is not working
out. It's NOT just the QB, it's the system and play-calling. We could
have Steve Young in there and we still would not move the ball downfield. Doman
is a horrible coach, and frankly the line has done a poor job protecting this
year and opening up a credible running game.
We seem to have an even harder time getting good coaches than we do good players.

This is a lose-lose situation for Bronco. If Riley starts, all of the fans will be mad at Bronco for starting an injured QB. If Lark starts, he most likely will succeed against a poor NMSU team. And might even look very, very good. Fans will see this and ask why hasn't he been playing all year long? Either way, I don't see Bronco coming out of this game very popular.

Who is this Lark kid? Everyone knows that Nelson is the only QB on BYU's roster - why else would they continue to start a free safety at QB? It's the only choice they have, right? I mean, if they had another QB on the roster but kept playing someone who is a turnover machine, and add to that is injured, it would be incredibly bad coaching on their part.

Lark's career is sad. I wish he could have gotten an opportunity. At the
same time, he chose to stay at BYU, so in that case I don't feel so bad
because he felt like it was the right place. The thing is Riley Nelson is bad.
Great heart, good athlete, horrible qb. Lark should have at least been given a
look. I hope he gets the start.
Bronco is probably sweating bullets cause if Lark goes in and throws for 300 yards, he and the coaching staff are going to look bad even if the opposition is New Mexico State. I mean, BYU is not exactly a powerhouse these days.

Even if healthy, Nelson should not start, he's a turnover machine and a QB who cannot hit the broadside of a barn. How he has managed to control the minds of the coaches, and play even when he should not be playing, is a mystery to me. Any coach in the country would have pulled him at Boise, at Notre Dame, at San Jose--and maybe a few other times. Ok Nelson is tough, good for him, but we need somebody who can hit a receiver, not someone Bronco is so in love with that it doesn't matter how he plays, he stays on the field anyway. I'm very disappointed in Bronco, he's paid to win games, not to be a cheerleader for the toughest guy on the team.

I have been a Lark Fan for years. This guy will go far in life. Anyone that
can continue to work hard in his situation will succeed in life. We all should
be so patient and committed.
My 100% Vote is to start Lark. If nothing else to let him have his moment. If anyone deserves it it is Lark. Let Riley rest and Lark Shine. He is one good man. (And football player)
I guess the good news for not playing all these years is that he will not have head, knee and hip issues when he is my age. (Glad I did not play)

8 Weirdly Sexual Products You Won't Believe Are for Kids
Raising a little girl is hard. You have all these decisions to make: schools to choose, what to feed them, how to make sure they don't grow up half as weird as you did. And of course, at some point you'll have to tell her about the birds and the bees. But all that sex stuff can wait until later, right?
Well, around age six, if your nearest department store is to be believed. In stores and catalogues for kids you can find items like ...
#8. Tesco Peek-a-Boo Stripper Pole
This is one of those pictures you see floating around the Internet, and you always just assume it's either 1) a photoshop or 2) some handmade project from a feminist making some heavy-handed statement about the exploitation of young girls. "Just imagine if they sold toy stripper poles!" But, the toy is very real and was indeed sold in the toy section.
In case you were thinking the pole dancing kit was intended for some kind of nonstripper (poles make for good exercise, right?), then you didn't notice it comes with a garter and play money to stuff into it.
Via Crunchgear.com
Good old-fashioned exercise!
The product was sold in a chain called Tesco, which is like the Walmart of Great Britian, who denied that this was marketed to children and has since relegated it to the exercise department. That's not only about as transparent as selling a pole dancing kit in the children's toy section -- it's also a hilariously blatant lie. As advertised on the website before being forced to take it down, the Peek-a-Boo Pole Dancing Kit was "suitable for participants of 11 years old and upwards."
Oh, bonus fun fact for those of you whose eyeballs are still intact: The product description on the box invites purchasers to "unleash the sex kitten inside."
A Tesco burns down from, we assume, combustible shame.
#7. Bratz Hooker Babies
Let's pretend you're shopping for your 9-year-old daughter. You grab the typical stuff little girls like -- a unicorn backpack, a pretty psychedelic dolphin trapper keeper (that's what little girls are buying these days, right?). And now, to the toy section. There you see the Bratz dolls:
Via Amazon
Huh. Those are definitely hot pants and high heel leather knee boots there. But, hey, millions of girls were raised on Barbie, with her gigantic inhuman boobs and they turned out fine, right?
Wait, are those snake skin pants?
Via Amazon
We like how you can pick between the stiletto heel shoes and the stiletto heel boots. You know, for different occasions.
Well, OK, so maybe your kid's not old enough yet for dolls meant for the "16- to 20-year-old girls who still play with dolls" demographic. And to be fair, while having these dolls as her role models might make back-to-school clothes shopping for your daughter a battle, the dolls are themselves adults. It's not like they're telling your little girl that at her age she needs to dress like she's in the background of a rap video.
Now, meet Bratz "Twiins" Roxxi and Phoebi:
Via Sprocketink.com
That's ... Jesus, can we go to jail for having a picture of an infant in a leather jacket and black panties on the site? And are we wrong to think that 100 percent of the people in the world named "Roxxi" who wear short, pink fur coats are hookers? We'd think we were misinterpreting what we're looking at there, but we actually can't find a photo of these dolls not dressed skankily:
But, still, it's not like they're specifically selling push-up bras and thongs to your kid ...
#6. Abercrombie & Fitch Push Up Bra For 7-Year-Olds
We all know that building real confidence and self-esteem is perhaps the most important thing you can do for your child. There are lots of ways to help them along with this: hugs, rigorous readings of Judy Blume and the occasional bar fight with your kid's enemies' fathers, the trophies of which you leave under your child's pillow to find the next morning.
"Be right back. Daddy's gonna go get a 12-pack of confidence."
But take a stroll through Abercrombie and Fitch and you'll find that there is a market for parents who think that the best way to boost the self-esteem of your first-grader is via a bikini top that will enhance her bustline.
Since A&F came under fire for selling the "push-up" bikini tops to little girls (and yes, the word "push-up" was on the description), they caved and took them off the shelves and swore to never try to showcase your 7-year-old daughter's boobs ever again. Just kidding! First, they simply changed the name of it from "push-up" to "padded." Then they relented and agreed to only market the "padded" tops to 12-year-old girls. Oh, but they made sure they still fit 10-year-olds.
"Honey, we need to have a talk about your inadequate, disappointing breasts."
#5. Abercrombie & Fitch Thongs for Little Girls
Via Dopefiles.com
OK, Abercrombie is clearly just fucking with us at this point.
Not only is the above thong sold in the goddamn kid's section where you'd expect to find the Spongebob Underoos, but the tiny thong contains the words "Eye Candy" and "Wink, Wink." This is made to fit girls as young as 7.
Not that they're trying to sexualize your child, or get free publicity by drawing web traffic from pedophiles (wink, wink).

In a last hurrah before the kids go back to school, Vegan Mom and I packed up the kids and headed to Ottawa. We booked a suite in a downtown hotel equipped with a kitchen so we could cook our own meals. I am sure Ottawa has some great vegan restaurants, but we wanted to keep costs down and had no desire to cart four kids to an eating establishment and become "that family" that everyone wishes would just leave. To prep for the trip I made a ton of bagels--perfect for lunches, breakfasts, and snacks.
The basic recipe is from Peter Reinhart's Bread Baker's Apprentice, but made a few changes. Let's go from right to left:
Multi-Grain Mixed Berry Bagels: I made the sponge out of 5 oz oat bran, 2 oz steel cut oats, 2 oz 12 grain cereal, and 9 oz white flour (plus the yeast and water the recipe calls for). I let it soak for an extra hour. In the final dough I replaced 4 oz of the white flour with vital wheat gluten. In the final minutes of kneading I added 1 1/2 cups of dried berries (I used blueberries, cranberries, and cherries).
Whole Wheat Bagels: Replace white flour with whole wheat flour, but replace 2 oz with vital wheat gluten. I find that bagels need good gluten content to remain that dense and chewy consistency.
New York Bagels: as per the recipe.
Cinnamon Raisin Bagels: as per the note on p. 122.
Here is a pic of the centre block of Parliament that Son#1 took. You can see the Peace Tower, obviously, and down on the lawn are about 100 people doing yoga. Yes, Canada is a hippie paradise.

Ha, hippie paradise, love it. True, true (Ohioan just back from an Ontario vacation).
Thanks for the ww bagel tip. My favorite bagels ever are "Everything Bagels," littered with onion, garlic, poppy, caraway, sesame, kosher salt - but they're always white bread (blech!). The only way to get WW Everything is to make them myself, I guess.

Yay for Ottawa :) And beautiful bagels, by the way. The next time you head to Ottawa, though, you should definitely check out The Green Door. It's a mostly-vegan cafeteria-style restaurant where you pay for your fresh, local, organic food by weight. It's not exceedingly pricey, but if you should show up there while ravenous, well, you might end up with more food than you could ever dream of eating (and hence with a larger bill than you're comfortable with paying). Regardless! Thanks for sharing the photos of your lovely bagels and of our lovely country's capital. Cheers!

I've always chuckled at the folks partaking in yogo smack-bang in the city centre. What so tranquil about stone and concrete obelisks channelling hundreds-of-kilos of exhaust fumes into your supposed 'relaxing' yoga area?!
Indoor and QUIET when in the city is my preferred spot, out in the open with proper fresh air and native critters when in the country.

Next time you're in Ottawa, I'd recommend heading to Govindas with the family. $7/adults $5/students/kids all you can eat vegan buffet. The menu never changes, but it's very satisfying. A nice pasta salad, lentil soup, fresh garden salad, dahl, some veg. chili, lots of rice, and a beautiful spice cake for dessert. It's run out of a Hare Krishna temple on the Ottawa U Campus, and is a nice quiet place, very welcoming and calming.

Thanks to all for the tips of vegan food in Ottawa. I will certainly be back since the kids loved the city and we only scratched the surface of things to see there.

Ah! I was just craving some quality grub from Perfection-Satisfaction-Promise, also by U of Ottawa... Depending on the dish, not overly cheap, but oh-so-good and nourishing for an overworked grad student!
I think I will have to experiment with these bagels instead.

Auditions for the new Ballet de Espana
Posted 27 March 2007 - 04:40 AM
More than 700 dancers from all over the world attended the first 3 day auditions made by a jury composed by relevant people of the international dance world such as Cynthia Harvey or Vladimir Vasiliev.
According to what Corella reported to Europa Press Televisión nearly all members have already been selected but the final decision will be made when Barcelona's auditions have finished. He was very surprised because of the high level of the attendants who came from all over the world, London, Japan, Australia...
The Company will premiere at the Teatro Real, in Madrid, in September 2008 and after a performance in Barcelona it will make an international tour including Washington and Japan.
Mrs. Cynthia Harvey commented that creating such a company was an absolute need for Spain to give to the people of this country the possibility to enjoy classical dance, "why are there so many good Spanish dancers in London when they should be dancing here?" she asked.
Comments from the other jury personality Mr. Vladimir Vasiliev were on the same way "It is rather strange that being dance such a very important issue for the people of this country, Spain doesn't have a Classical ballet Company" he said. To him, the creation of the Angel Corella's Classical Ballet Company is an "historical event not only for Spain but for all Europe".
Summary of the article Published in Terra Actualidad - Europa Press
If you follow this link you will find a picture of Ángel Corella with the members of the jury and the ballet teacher Mr. Eldar Aliev (at about the end of the post) shot by Jesús Vallinas during Madrid auditions.
Posted 27 March 2007 - 04:59 AM
Posted 27 March 2007 - 08:11 AM
Please keep us posted about the results.
Posted 27 March 2007 - 11:28 AM
I guess that was the key question behind the formation of this new company. In a few years, I hope, Spanish ballet dancers will dance in other countries because they want to, not because the have to. Thanks, CarolinaM, for this news.
Cynthia Harvey commented that creating such a company was an absolute need for Spain to give to the people of this country the possibility to enjoy classical dance, "why are there so many good Spanish dancers in London when they should be dancing here?" she asked.
Plans for a tour (in 2008?) to the US and Japan sound particularly exciting -- and ambitious.
Posted 29 March 2007 - 04:31 AM
In any case I translate what Jesús Vallinas, photograph and manager of fotoescena, said concerning the auditions after his attendance as dance photograph at the Teatro Real in Madrid:
The first shot of the topic shows Cynthia Harvey, Vladimir Vassiliev, Eldar Aliev (dance teacher of the Boston Ballet) and Ángel Corella, together with Mª Begoña Acuña representing the Foundation.
More than 700 dancers from 10 different nationalities attended the auditions, a lot of them traveling thousands of Km. to be there. Dozens of soloists and first dancers from all over the world are interested in the project
Second and third shots: Eldar Alievs class is fast and demanding, dancers capacities are put to test. It is designed to see the response, according to the classic discipline, of all kind of dancers. As I could notice the level of a corps de ballet as well as the one of a soloist is easily revealed.
All attendants do the complete class and only at the end, a reduced group is selected to follow with more exercises. According to the organization, once the auditions have finished, the final selection will be announced to the participants by 15 days.
Vladimir Vassiliev replayed to one question from the media with his usual -direct and honest- character and with a deep knowledge of the subject:
"It is a shame that Spain does not have a Classical Company"
That is what he said .. and he left with no more comments.
The rest of the topic is about Jesús requesting to cultural politics and organizations to ponder about Mr. Vassiliev words.
The last shot shows Cynthia Harvey and Vladimir Vassiliev over a letter I sent to the Catalan media asking them to cover the event as the Spanish newspapers did no mention at all about it.
In Cataluña the two most important newspapers have published my letter and are covering the auditions.
Posted 29 March 2007 - 06:48 AM
It is impressive that over 700 dances auditioned, but sad that only 80 can be chosen.
I have a question about the title of the company. There are references in these press releases to "Compania de Ballet Classico Angel Corella" and even "Compania Inernacional de Ballet Classico en Espana." Has an official company name been chosen yet?
Posted 29 March 2007 - 07:03 AM
Daunting as those statistics are, they are still better than those at the most of the US company auditions where over 100 dancers may be applying for 1 or 2 positions.
This is an ambitious undertaking and I certainly wish them well.
Posted 29 March 2007 - 07:05 AM
Really nice photos! I love the photo of Vasiliev holding Cynthia Harvey in an affectionate version of what is called a "strangle hold" in American wrestling.

I dont know bart. I was pretty sure that the name will be Ballet de España but now I read about "Compañía de Ballet Ángel Corella and Im a bit confussed too.
Ill try to find it out.
Posted 29 March 2007 - 09:30 AM
>80 can be chosen.
I've auditioned for B'way shows here in NYC where over 2,000 showed up at an audition (all Equity, union) -- all auditioning for the same single, female-soloist-dancer part. (I even got (won!) one of those auditions!!!....brag, brag.)
It's a lucky, very lucky break to be chosen out of 700 or 2,000. It's all in the eye of the beholder/auditioner(s).
Can't wait to hear who the chosen dancers will be for Corella's company!
Posted 02 April 2007 - 07:21 AM
The level of the attendants was very high and it seems that it has been the same all the days long.
They followed a class given by Mr. ELDAR ALIEV Ballet Master of Boston Ballet, and former principal dancer at the Bolshoi.
This was the first audition I saw in my life and I was very surprised because even if one could very early clearly notice a big difference of level between the attendants, all succeeded with a great respect to everybody, leaving all the people finish their one hour class. After this hour some of them were asked to do alone more exercises, and this is that people who are in the list of candidates.
I think that the final list of dancers for the Ballet the España (they confirmed me the name) will be announced by 15 days.
Posted 02 April 2007 - 09:05 AM
It appears as though a NYC audition will not be held, as was reported earlier.
Posted 03 May 2007 - 09:02 AM
Posted 16 May 2007 - 10:57 AM
CarolinaM, do you know who finally won the posts? Has the list been published?
The press note has been published in Angel web site
As for the names it seems that some dancers haven't told their current companies that they will be leaving so the organization can not issue any list of names.
Hoping we will know soon, maybe after summer.
Posted 16 May 2007 - 11:28 AM
Posted 16 May 2007 - 11:50 AM
As not all Principals and Soloists attended that auditions maybe the results do not show the total number of the future dancers.

Problem when building the app
I have these following bug when i try to build the app using sencha cmd v3 , any idea?
[ERROR] def was null [ERROR] failed to find meta class definition for name proxy.sqlitestorage [ERROR] BUILD FAILED [ERROR] com.sencha.exceptions.BasicException:
26 Oct 2012 1:58 PM #152
Build error
This proxy has been working superbly in Chrome during development. However, when I come to package it (sencha app build production) I also get a similar error to the one above. Mine's slightly different, so I might as well list it in full:
[ERROR] def was null
[ERROR] failed to find meta class definition for name proxy.sqlitestorage
[ERROR] Exception running app build : JavaException: com.sencha.exceptions.BasicException: null
[ERROR] javax.script.ScriptException: JavaException: com.sencha.exceptions.BasicException: null in <Unknown source> at line number 709
If anyone could point me to where I can find out what on earth any of that means, I'd be very grateful.
1 Nov 2012 8:04 AM #153
As I've said before, I can't vouch for this working with ST2.1+, Sencha Cmd 3, or sencha native packaging.
I only have time to maintain for my own current packaging workflows, which are ST2.0 and phonegap 1.8.1.
If other people can work out these issues, please submit a fork on github and I will review and merge.
Otherwise, I will likely be using ST2.1+ and Phonegap 2 to compile my next app around March time.
3 Nov 2012 7:55 AM #154
With reference to the error messages I mentioned above: I packaged the app with Applaud's Phonegap bundle and it works fine on Android.
5 Dec 2012 7:08 AM #155
I have modify model field:
fields: [
{ name: 'id', type: 'int' }, // Every model must start with an id of type int
{name:'SNO', type : 'int', fieldOption : 'PRIMARY KEY ASC'},
{ name: 'name', type: 'string' } // bools, floats, objects and arrays also supported
On controller i want to delete record when list tapped I have updated controller :
editPerson: function(list, index, target, record, event) {
store = Ext.getStore('People');
var obj=store.getAt(index);
console.log("editPerson Function Called");
These work fine only when i run the code for the fitst time but when I again build my app error is occure an no reflection on database...
Primary key must be unique.
5 Dec 2012 8:01 AM #156
How is your SNO field being set from the DB? The Primary key error should be happening when you are inserting into the DB. The error is occurring when the editperson function is called??? If so you may not be calling sync when you insert the records and the sync isn't being called until this method is run.
I'm guessing when you start out with a blank db you are filling the store with records and manually incrementing the SNO field, then you delete a record which executes the sync() command and actually writes the records to the table. Then when you restart the app, the SNO increment is restarted at 1 and the new records are added to the store (but not synced yet) and then when you call the editPerson function the sync runs which tries to add all the new records which have the same SNO values.
Remove the fieldOption: from your SNO field and see what gets into the DB. (you'll probably see the records have the same values). I'm pretty sure it really has nothing to do with the remove method.
BTW. I'd change the code for the editPerson function. Manually looking up the store and the lookup by index is unnecessary since you already have the record and the list should be backed by the correct store to remove the person from.
editPerson: function(list, index, target, record, event) {
store = list.getStore();
5 Dec 2012 10:56 PM #157
Thanks for the reply bob..
SNo field is Autoincrement field. Thats so I have added field option with Sno field.
editPerson: function(list, index, target, record, event) {
store = list.getStore();
These code is fine with table having No Autoincrement field but when i took field Autoincrement(Primary Key with integer type) these code give error of Primary key must be unique.
Not for the first run but when we stop the app and again start error occur and no delete reflect on Database....

I've linked my app against ST2.0 and now it works just fine. Hopefully I won't be using any fancy functionality available from ST2.1 in the future.

My tests just showed that the best solution for SQLite within ST2.1 & Phonegap 2.2.0 is to use Phonegap plugin from https://github.com/brodyspark/PhoneGap-sqlitePlugin-iOS and default ST SQL proxy: Ext.data.proxy.SQL with the override:
Ext.define('Ext.data.proxy.SQLOverride', { override: 'Ext.data.proxy.SQL', getDatabaseObject: function() { if(Ext.os.is.Android){ //TODO: add android part } else if (Ext.os.is.iOS && !navigator.platform.toLowerCase().match(/simulator/)) { return sqlitePlugin.openDatabase("data.sqlite"); } return this.callParent(); } });Github https://github.com/vadimpopa

I've no idea why, but ST2.1 started working in my configuration eventually, which is great, because it speeds up storage load significantly. But please, don't ask me how I did, cause no idea.

Is there a way to have the styles on a page appear differently for certain categories, when viewing a page that is only of that category?
Hi @GSto:
@EAMann has a great answer if you want different layouts for different categories. OTOH if you only want to change the CSS to, for example, have a different background color for each category then you'll find that most themes will include the category slug as a CSS class on the
For example the TwentyTen theme does exactly that; for the following URL:
Here's what the
Knowing the above you could add the following styles to your theme's
All you really need to do do figure out if your theme does this or not is to view source on the category pages of interest and search for your category slug.
Use a Child Theme
Of course you probably don't want to modify your theme's
Note that not all themes support child themes, Thesis being one notable example. In the case of those themes you'll have to research more into how they are extended.
If you want, you can have a different template for each category with its own set of style definitions. Then you can style the page differently for certain categories, but only when viewing a page that is only of that category.
Just use these in your theme:
What Eric said. But if you only want to change the style, and not the markup, there's an easier way. As long as your theme includes the body_class() call in the opening body tag, WP will add all sorts of useful CSS hooks to your page. The default markup will add the follwing classes to the body element on a category archive:
which you can style as you like. A lot of theme frameworks will add even more useful hooks to your body class, although some of them I can't possibly see the real-world use cases for.

Yemeni infiltrators today handed over missing Saudi soldier Yahya Al-Khuzaie, the Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Ali Al-Hamdan said today. The missing soldier was transported from Saada to Sana'a aboard a Yemeni military helicopter, escorted by Deputy Commander of Yemeni Air Force Brigadier General Abdullah Al-Basha. Al-Khuzaie will be transferred to the Kingdom soon, Ambassador Al-Hamdan said.
Upon arrival in Sana'a, Al-Khuzaie was received by Ambassador Al-Hamdan and Saudi Military Attaché Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Al-Jaber.

As I start planning my pico brewery, I've been thinking about fermenters. I'd love some thoughts on ways to ferment 1/2 and 1bbl (15.5 - 31 gallon) batches. Options for when price is and is not a concern would be great.
I ferment 10gal batches in a 14gal conical but have been looking at this kit from Brewers Hardware recently to add some capacity at a better price.
The single 1bbl vessel .v. two 1/2bbl vessels is not going to affect yeast pitching quantities, you are just going to take the same original starter and split it between the vessels. The space saving and cleaning labor savings would be quite significant over the long run though.
When you start modeling your production expenses, you will quickly see that at pico brewery scale, labor costs are the most significant component of your costs. This shifts quickly to ingredients and then to energy and space as you move up in scale. Forecast and estimate your production volumes carefully and realistically. You could find that investing in bigger equipment will pay for itself quickly if your brews are in demand quickly. If, that takes longer, then making smaller investments in pilot-scale equipment and brewing more frequently (2-3 batches a day) might make more sense at the beginning.
I use a Sanke keg for fermenting my 10-15gal batches, works great. You can also look into using plastic conical fermentors. You can get them in 15-500+gal sizes.
I'm looking at getting a 15gal and a 65gal.
