Latest Review
" The hostel is quite easy to find but the location is no good. Situated in a local neighborhood but you can find Walgreen and food with 10 minutes walk. The rooms and toilets are clean but a bit small especially for the mixed bed room. It would be crowded in high season. I went there in late May which is a low season so I was almost the only person who stayed there. Got a bit bored. The host and the staff are not bad. "- Anonymous

We met up with Michele and David for a private scuba tour in July 2012 while on our honeymoon. This was one of the most memorable days during our fantastic trip. Michele and David are very personable and make you feel right at home. They are capable of accommodating all diving levels and nice for my wife and I. While on the trip, we not only did 2 scuba dives, but they took us to 2 secluded white sand beaches where we went on shore for awhile. Also, David is an avid oyster connoisseur and would dive down to bring us raw oysters to eat. The day was absolutely fantastic. Adding to the day, we saw a white tip shark and a group of dolphins. Overall very highly recommended!

China Lags In Sharing SARS Clues, Officials Say
Published: August 5, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
The unpublished study reported in a press release that Dr. Stöhr cited was the outcome of a project begun in May, when researchers began collecting and testing 5,300 blood and tissue specimens. Those came from more than 2,000 animals representing 112 species taken from the wild animal wholesale markets in Guangdong Province. The release reported that the SARS virus was found among snakes, bats, monkeys and masked palm civets.
The significance of that finding, if additional studies confirm that the virus is found in a wide number of species, is that health officials will have to develop stronger and different strategies to prevent recurrences of SARS.
In other studies, Chinese scientists found evidence of coronaviruses in wild animals but have not determined whether they are SARS or previously unknown coronaviruses, Dr. Stöhr said.
Scientists have sought a species that is susceptible to deliberately induced SARS so the animals can be used to test experimental drugs and vaccines for SARS. Dr. Stöhr said scientists at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Institute of Laboratory Animal Science in Beijing told him that they had developed macaque monkeys for the SARS animal models.
A most puzzling aspect of the epidemic is the low rate of infection among health workers who cared for SARS patients in China, Dr. Stöhr said. That is in contrast to higher rates in Hong Kong, Singapore, Toronto and other areas. Further exploration of that difference could help lower the risk of infection to health workers if SARS resurfaces.
In the population at large, detecting SARS in the earliest stages is a top priority among researchers. Chinese scientists told Dr. Stöhr they had developed a promising lead for an early test. He said they could detect the virus in a type of white blood cell known as the T-lymphocyte, the second type of white blood cell in which scientists have detected the SARS virus.
The new infected cell finding also supports the theory that the SARS virus prompts substances known as cytokines, like interferon and tumor necrosis factor, to produce an immunologic reaction that can damage the lungs and other organs. Pneumonia is one of the potentially fatal manifestations of SARS, and many doctors have speculated that SARS pneumonia results from an immunologic reaction, not a direct attack by the SARS virus.
A better understanding of what causes organ damage in SARS may come from a laboratory in Beijing that has been specially designed to prevent the spread of the SARS virus when pathologists perform autopsies among those who died from the disease. Many pathologists elsewhere have been reluctant to perform autopsies on SARS patients because of the risk of acquiring the infection or spreading it to others. So far, pathologists have completed autopsies of 6 of 18 SARS patients, Dr. Stöhr said.
The W.H.O. and its research team have said that SARS is a new member of the coronavirus family, and have eagerly awaited China's testing results for SARS among specimens kept frozen in laboratories before the epidemic began in November.
Some scientists contend that SARS is an old virus, not a new one, even though earlier studies in Hong Kong, the United States and elsewhere found no evidence of human SARS cases before November 2002.
Now, Dr. Stöhr said, China's studies of blood taken at different times for other research purposes from several thousand healthy people before the epidemic found no evidence that they had been exposed to the SARS virus.
''This is a very important finding because many scientists who study evolutionary biology have said that the SARS virus was present in humans long before the outbreak was detected,'' Dr. Stöhr said. ''All the studies clearly showed that SARS had not occurred before November 2002.''
''SARS is a novel virus -- novel to humans, though not necessarily to animals,'' Dr. Stöhr said.

What are 'Bank Deposits'
Bank deposits consist of money placed into a banking institution for safekeeping. Bank deposits are made to deposit accounts at a banking institution, such as savings accounts, checking accounts and money market accounts. The account holder has the right to withdraw any deposited funds, as set forth in the terms and conditions of the account. The "deposit" itself is a liability owed by the bank to the depositor (the person or entity that made the deposit), and refers to this liability rather than to the actual funds that are deposited.
BREAKING DOWN 'Bank Deposits'
When someone opens a bank account and makes a deposit of $500 cash, the account holder surrenders legal title to the $500 cash. This cash becomes an asset of the bank; the account becomes a liability. In the United States, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provides deposit insurance that guarantees the deposits of member banks up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank. Member banks are required to place signs visible to the public stating that "deposits are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government."

Let The Legal Professionals Help You
There are times when you just find yourself down and out. Have you ever been there? Not just luck, whether you believe in luck or not, but you just cannot seem to catch a break? Have you been there? When things just do not seem to go your way you might need some extra help. Not just oh woe is me kind of luck, or cannot catch a break. You may need help in circumstances you find yourself in that are absolutely and terribly unfortunate. At no fault of your own, you may have a medical malpractice case you are dealing with. Perhaps you never got the correct procedure done that was supposed to be done. Have you heard of doctors operating on the wrong limb? Say it was supposed to be the right one and they worked on the left. As scary and simple as that sounds, mistakes are made and accidents happen. Unfortunately cases like those do happen, and although it was likely an honest mistake there are still consequences to those kinds of errors. Think about he recovery time now of the person who got the wrong limb operated on. Now think of how they still need the operation or surgery on the correct limb. That then prolongs the new surgery while the other limb recovers; that or there are now two legs or two arms or two hips that are recovery at the same time. That can really cause a lot of setbacks in a person's life. Major surgery is a big deal and recovery times are real. They take weeks or months to heal. That can then add up to time off work if they are not able to recover quickly.
As big of a mess as that seams, there are legal consequences to those kinds of things. Talk to a Santa Clarita medical malpractice attorney to get to the bottom of this matter for you. On your behalf the attorney will jump through all of the hoops and get you the help and you need. Yes it is legal help, but nonetheless you will need it. While you recover and deal with the rest of your life, let the legal professionals take care of what they know how to. Having this burden of the load lifted off of your back, figuratively speaking, can allow for you to deal with the rest of life and recovery that you need to.
Children matter – Choosing sensitive family solicitors for divorce where children are involved
Family legal matters tend to get more sensitive when children are involved. Couples going through divorce or separation still need to maintain their relationship with their children. If you have decided to hire a solicitor to help with your divorce, it is important to hire someone who is a good fit for your situation.
Finding a solicitor who is a suitable candidate can be challenging. Divorce is a sensitive issue and therefore needs an ethical lawyer with specialist knowledge in family law to represent you. There is no point appointing someone who doesn't have a strong knowledge in law and doesn't care much about your personal needs.
Divorce can be a highly traumatic experience for kids, but according to research, most children adjust well within four years following the divorce. However, there are some children that experience emotional problems when their parents break up. This is especially the case when there is ongoing conflict between the parents. Perhaps the only way to protect your children from developing psychological and social issues is to keep conflict away from them.
It would be helpful for parents to sit down with their children and talk openly about their plans. Always keep the line of communication open as your children will appreciate honest conversations about the changes that are occurring in your family. Sudden change can be very hard on kids. If you or your spouse are going to move out of the family home, give your kids a few weeks' notice in order to get them used to the idea. It is best to minimise changes in the weeks following a divorce.
Children tend to cope better when they keep close contact with both parents. Those who have a poor relationship with their mother or father may have a harder time dealing with family breakups.
When going through a divorce, the entire family can benefit from speaking with a therapist to help them deal with their emotions. Going through mediation with your spouse can help you think carefully about what went wrong in your marriage and whether there is any chance of reconciliation. If you cannot find a common ground, your last resort is to find a specialist family solicitor who is experienced in dealing with child custody and divorce.
To hire the best solicitor, request to see a copy of the retainer agreement as you may end up paying the lawyer a lot of money so make sure you know what you're signing. Ask about the solicitor's contingent fee agreements in divorce and custody orders. As long as you trust your instincts and use your common sense in evaluating the list of lawyers in your area, you will be able to find the most suitable legal representative. After all, you want to pick the best solicitor who is sympathetic and sensitive to your case.

Product Description
From Amazon
This is a genius-level piece of writing that manages to blend literary biography with self-help and tongue-in-cheek with the profound. The quirky, early 1900s French author Marcel Proust acts as the vessel for surprisingly impressive nuggets of wisdom on down-to-earth topics such as why you should never sleep with someone on the first date, how to protect yourself against lower back pain, and how to cope with obnoxious neighbors. Here's proof that our ancestors had just as much insight as the gurus du jour and perhaps a lot more wit. De Botton simultaneously pokes fun at the self-help movement and makes a significant contribution to its archives. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Generally writers fall into one of two camps: those who feel that one can't write without having a firm grasp on Proust, and those who, like Virginia Woolf, are crippled by his influence. De Botton, the author of On Love, The Romantic Movement and Kiss and Tell, obviously falls into the former category. But rather than an endless exegesis on memory, de Botton has chosen to weave Proust's life, work, friends and era into a gently irreverent, tongue-in-cheek self-help book. For example, in the chapter titled "How to Suffer Successfully," de Botton lists poor Proust's many difficulties (asthma, "awkward desires," sensitive skin, a Jewish mother, fear of mice), which is essentially a funny way of telling the reader quite a lot about the man's life. Next he moves on to Proust's little thesis that because we only really think when distressed, we shouldn't worry about striving for happiness so much as "pursuing ways to be properly and productively unhappy." De Botton then cheerily judges various characters of A la recherche against their author's maxims. At the beginning, when de Botton drags his own girlfriend into a tortuous and not terribly successful digression, readers may be skeptical, but they will be won over by his whimsical relation of Proust's lessons?essentially an exhortation to slow down, pay attention and learn from life. Is it profound? No. Does this add something new to Proust scholarship? Probably not. But it's a real pleasure to read someone who treats this sacrosanct subject as something that is still vital and vigorous. 25,000 first printing; author tour.

Nonetheless, this remains an amazingly good introduction to Proust, and is a marvelous first-book for anyone contemplating reading Proust's masterpiece. Proust is, of course, the author of what is very widely considered to be the great work of literature of the past century and what is increasingly considered one of the great masterpieces in the history of literature: IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME. de Botton's volume isn't precisely an introduction to Proust so much as a series of reflections on themes that can be illustrated by aspects of Proust's life or by passages in his great novel. Many of these are marvelous at assisting even a veteran reader of Proust to gain new insights into his book.
Is the book worthwhile for someone who does not plan on reading Proust but just wants to read an enjoyable book? Certainly. de Botton is unfailingly witty, almost always interesting, and frequently insightful. None of this relies either upon having read Proust or intending to. The book can certainly stand on its own. Reading this book is fun and easy; reading Proust can be fun at times, but it is also challenging and demanding frequently. But that may be why de Botton's book is unable to show how Proust truly can change your life.Read more ›
This book is simply one of the loveliest meditations on reading and life, and how they intertwine, that I've ever read. It's not a book for people who don't like to read, but for anyone who DOES like to read, I think it would make a lovely gift. I gave it to myself, and I thanked myself for it very much.
Instead, de Botton accomplishes several things. He parodies self-help books, he undertakes a humorous and highly personal exploration of Proust, and he makes a witty argument about how literature can aid us in our daily lives. The heart of de Botton's message is actually paradoxical. From one perspective he is saying, "don't take literature too seriously" and from another he is saying, "literature is a critical tool in everyone's life".
I believe that all of us essentially reinvent what we read and use it to interpret our lives and the world around us. De Botton simply provides a humorous and intelligent blue print of this natural process.
But the greatest praise I can give this book is that, because of it, I am going to buy In a Budding Grove this weekend. Great stuff, highly recommended, especially for those unsure if they wish to read more than one volume of Proust. (It may be a little less appreciated by those who have never read any Proust, but it is still entertaining and may convince you to pick up the book itself.)
The key, I believe, to fully appreciating what this particular text has to offer, is to understand Proust's various responses to the world - what I like to call his inner-worldliness. It is well known, of course, that Proust was not a 'worldly' man in the common sense of the term, but worldly in that vast terrain known as the imagination. In fact, this gentle and fragile writer, most of his short life, rarely stepped out of his bedroom, let alone transverse the expanses of Europe. Proust's gift was the uncanny ability to observe something as apparently mundane as a pocket watch or a scrap of bed linen, and through a mental process of rich association, create new and meaningful experiences. What Proust taught us through his voluminous works, which de Botton points out, is what we all too often take for granted, ironically, has the potential to give us what we need.
~How Proust can Change your Life~ is one of those texts that you can pick up after lunch and finish before dinner, yet the contents and practical wisdom should remain with you for a long time.

Speightstown sired his third stakes winner in 10 days, when Sum of the Parts earned a hard-fought victory in the $100,000 Tom Ridge S. at Presque Isle Downs on May 15.
Sum of the Parts was the 30th career stakes winner for Speightstown, following major stakes wins in the past 10 days by Going to Kukaro (at Belmont May 12) and Champion Essence Hit Man (G3 at Woodbine May 6). Speightstown now ranks among the top four U.S. sires by worldwide earnings, with six stakes winners, 14 stakes horses, and progeny earnings nearing $3-million.
Three-year-old Sum of the Parts was sent off the 3-2 favorite in the six furlong Tom Ridge (VIDEO; select May 15, race 7). The dark bay colt jumped right to the lead from the outside in the field of seven. Under a strong hold from Julien Leparoux, Sum of the Parts was up a head after a half mile in :44.63. He was confronted by Hogy, who actually put his head in front coming into the stretch. Leparoux let his mount out, however, and re-took the lead to ultimately win by a neck in 1:09.02.
The victory was the third win in seven starts for Sum of the Parts, who is two-for-two this year. He has now earned $145,263 for co-owners William Lawrence and Klaravich Stables. Bred in Kentucky by Farfellow Farms, Sum of the Parts was a $150,000 Barretts March 2-year-old in Training Sales grad.

Hong Kong lets Snowden leave
A former contractor for the U.S. National Security Agency, charged by the United States with espionage, was allowed to leave Hong Kong on Sunday, his final destination as yet unknown, because a U.S. request to have him arrested did not comply with the law, the Hong Kong government said.
Edward Snowden left for Moscow on Sunday and his final destination may be Cuba, Ecuador, Iceland or Venezuela, according to various reports. The move is bound to infuriate Washington, wherever he ends up.
"It's a shocker," said Simon Young, a law professor with Hong Kong University. "I thought he was going to stay and fight it out. The U.S. government will be irate."

LOL! No, that isn't the "way it should be."
Fear is never a weapon to draw just to manipulate and intimidate. It's weak.
Why on earth should the government fear the people? I hardly think they fear Snowden, but the government does have a right to be irate about his actions. He's put security at risk and created tension between friendly nations. He's a punk.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Govt was kinda glad ol' Snowden was high tailing it. A trial of this guy would put under scrutiny all kinds of pros & cons of this kind of operation. More than any Govt would want to reveal. Chances are now he'll never make it to the witness stand, probably the safest place he could be.

If the administration believes what the NSA and other government agencies have been doing is legal why have they been lying to us?
Why do the people of Europe have more legal protections safeguarding their privacy than we do here in America?
We all have questions right now Rose.
Snowden isn't the issue. He made his decision and will have to face his fate.
The issue here is how far are we willing to allow our government to "encroach" on our constitutional freedoms in the name of "security" and when are we going to demand that they tell us the truth about what they have been doing.
We are being spied on and lied to by the people that are supposed to serve us.

When the government can't trust their own top level employees, and it becomes fashionable to be a whistle-blower, you have the makings of some serious trust problems, and the public doesn't need to be privy to EVERYTHING. They never have been in the past.
It is bigger than Snowden, but our enemies will take advantage of it, and we become weaker and weaker because of it, and it's exactly what they want. I will never see Snowden as any hero of the people no matter what.

And the plot thickens, and the global media and espionage community will have a field day with Snowden. And will we ever know the TRUTH?
Like all good spy stories, you'll believe what you want to believe and what the best writer makes you believe. And will have little to do with constitutional rights because no one is even talking about those much.

Edward Snowden: Whistleblower or double agent?
Published June 14, 2013
While some initially championed Edward Snowden, the 21st century mole holed up in Hong Kong, as a martyr, there also appears to be a growing backlash against the former NSA contractor. And as the story slowly unfolds, one key question stands out: is Snowden the heroic whistleblower he claims to be or something more sinister?
During one of his first newspaper interviews, when he spilled national security secrets, Snowden called himself just another guy who sits there day to day in the office. But now some are questioning his motives and wondering whether claims that he wanted to right a perceived wrong are true -- or whether he could be a modern-day double agent, cleverly hiding his actions and painting himself as a victim of the U.S. government while working as an agent for the Chinese.
Gordon Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China, thinks theres a strong possibility Snowden could be playing for both sides.
The first clue is that he goes to Hong Kong and they have an extradition agreement with the U.S. and a tradition of close cooperation of law enforcement, Chang told Fox.That means, the only thing that stands between him and a lifetime in a super-max prison is Beijing.
Chang also says the timing of Snowdens disclosures are suspect.
He changed the global narrative of China hacking into the U.S. to the American government going after one of its own, Chang said.
The first of Snowdens disclosures came right before President Obama met with new Chinese President Xi Jinping.
That really derailed Obamas whole talk about cyber security, he said, adding,the most rrecent revelations have been about operational details of the NSA spying on Hong Kong and China. This only helps Beijing.
Chang says its likely Snowden went public with his claims because he was tipped off that the NSA was on to him.
Snowdens most recent claims to the South China Morning Post are that the NSA has more than 61,000 hacking operations globally, the NSA has been hacking computers in Hong Kong and China since 2009 and that the Chinese targets included universities, public officials, businesses and students.

But I was also demonstrating the drama this is turning into. The world is loving it, especially the world media.
Personally, I think it's much ado about very little. The government has had access to our phones, our records via Social Security, DMV, IRS, then the Internet for years. This really is not news, but it's the way it's been revealed and the whole cloak and dagger, spy thriller atmosphere that has altered the message.

Packers rookie tight end Richard Rodgers says he's plenty fast
Green Bay — These are the plays the Green Bay Packers want to see out of Richard Rodgers. During one 11-on-11 session last week at Ray Nitschke Field, the third-round draft pick ran a post route, caught the ball about 20-25 yards downfield and never broke stride upfield.
The 245-pound California slot receiver who bulked back up to the 260s was a very large, very scary man moving fast.
"That was good to see in practice," said Jerry Fontenot, the tight ends coach.
Because this was the Packers' calculated gamble. In the midst of adding weight, Rodgers ran a 4.87 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine. He's no burner. Projecting a new-wave tight end is not easy, as Fontenot has said.
In Rodgers — a tight end turned slot receiver turned tight end — the Packers rolled the dice. They're hoping game speed wins out and these plays multiply through the summer and into the fall.
When Fontenot attends the NFL combine, he doesn't put too much stock in a tight end's 40 time. That one event helps the overall picture for scouts, he said, but Fontenot sticks to the game tape. It's the former player in him. And when he studied Rodgers at Cal, he saw a player with enough speed to get separation.
"Obviously not blazing speed," Fontenot said. "But he does some very good things with his footwork and he's efficient with his movement.
"As far as where I thought he ranked with the other tight ends, I think the things he brought to the table were his smarts, his work attitude and really his detail in everything he did. He's very efficient."
This is what Matt Flynn noticed right away, too. When the backup quarterback throws to young receivers, he knows the top of those receivers' routes might be rounded, sloppy, unpredictable.
Rodgers, however, was "easy to read" — the same trait Fontenot noticed as Rodgers caught 39 passes for 608 yards last fall.
"From a quarterback's standpoint," Flynn said, "it doesn't really matter how fast you are or slow you are. Some people are smooth. Some people are hard to read. Richard's one of those guys who's easy to read. ... He's always in the right place at the right time. When a guy is easy to read, it's easy to judge his angle and speed."
In the NFL, where passing windows take on different shapes on a split-second basis, quarterbacks must react to a receiver's body language in real time.
"Some guys," Flynn explained, "when they're running routes, they take a break and you never know if they're going to come out high, come out flat. With Richard, you can always tell in his body language if he's bending across the linebacker, if he's going to come out and break flat, and that's something as quarterbacks. It makes it easier for us."
In putting the pounds back on — he was originally a 287-pound tight end under Jeff Tedford at Cal — Rodgers was never too worried about compromising speed. Whereas someone like wide receiver Myles White made a concerted effort to monitor his wheels in adding 10 pounds, Rodgers never felt that different.
Said Rodgers, "When you put 10 pounds on from 180 to 190, or 200, that's kind of a big step for someone. But for me, between 260 or 270, it kind of all feels the same."
For all teams, there surely is a line in the sand, a cutoff where they consider a tight end too slow to stretch a defense. That 4.87 ranked 17th of 22 tight ends in Indianapolis, and would have ranked 18th of 21 tight ends the year before. On Green Bay's roster, Andrew Quarless (4.69), Brandon Bostick (4.59 at pro day), Jake Stoneburner (4.65), Ryan Taylor (4.76 at pro day), Colt Lyerla (4.61) and Justin Perillo (4.76) are all, technically, faster.
Bostick, the former Division II wide receiver, has made the most downfield plays of late. Three weeks in, he's the one who most resembles Jermichael Finley.
It's still unknown just how dangerous Rodgers is at the second and third level.
Back in February, he wasn't surprised at all when the clock read 4.87. Rodgers deadpans that he's "not a track athlete."
To him, the straight-line time is irrelevant.
"When you're on the field, you're running to escape someone," Rodgers said. "So you run a little bit faster. You feel the adrenaline. ... You get all the blood flowing, you're in the flow of the game. You just want to make a play.
"I know how fast I can run and I know how fast my game speed is. It's more about finding an angle to beat the DB or whoever's guarding you."
So echoing Fontenot and Flynn, Rodgers believes his crispness at the top of a route, his knowing when and where to cut, gives him an advantage. At Cal, he ran the entire route tree. He's seeing that Pac-12 slot experience pay off here in Green Bay, where tight ends migrate play to play.
This weekend, in a dome, he'll operate on a faster track. Rodgers expects the Packers to throw the ball more — and he'll be working with that other Rodgers, too.
"It's going to be a good opportunity," he said, "for all of us to show what we can do in a game situation."
Including, he hopes, true game speed.

As the title suggests, i am interested in know if a large shape takes up more memory in a WPF application or is it all algorithm based and it doesnt really matter?
Cheers, Kohan
Addendum, The reason i ask is i would like a visual curved header at the top of my page. I have done this using a very large ellipse that is positioned at the top of the page, most of it goes off the page and i am only viewing a little of it, but it gives the desired visual effect. (Hope this makes sense)
I was just wondering if it was really inefficient to have this huge elipse on the screen and was instead considering creating a custom path.

Bentall Centre will stay open.
CLEVELAND-American Greetings Corp., a $1.7 billion company, has now entered the retail store business with the acquisition of most of Essex, England-based Clinton Cards PLC. The locally based firm will take over almost 400 of the Clinton stores, as another 350 of Clinton's stores have already been closed due to bankruptcy.
American Greetings was one of Clinton's biggest suppliers. However, the UK firm collapsed after being unable to pay back creditors, including American Greetings, which had purchased Clinton's senior secured debt for about $56 million. American Greetings then bid about $37 million of the debt for the remaining Clinton open stores, which were deemed "viable, ongoing business" assets, according to a company statement.
The $19 million remaining may be paid from the remaining Clinton liquidation, though that process, expected to take up to a year, may not cover the debt. Also, the final number of stores that American Greetings acquires will be dependent on negotiations with landlords at each respective location.
Zev Weiss, American Greetings CEO, said in a statement that he is pleased to welcome Clinton's 4,500 employees to his firm. "We believe that properly managed, and with the appropriate capital structure, Clinton Cards can be both an important and profitable retailer in the specialty channel of distribution over the long term," Weiss said. "The separation of the acquired assets and business from the legal entity in administration is an important first step of this process. We have also lined-up a leadership team to run the new UK subsidiary that has extensive specialty retail channel experience."
Spokespeople for American Greetings did not respond to questions for comment, including on whether the firm will keep the Clinton name or whether there would be any reductions in employees. In the statement, the company said it will disclosed more information on the purchase in its first quarter earnings conference call on June 28.
On May 9, Peter Saville, Simon Freakley and Anne O'Keefe of Zolfo Cooper LLP were appointed as joint administrators of Clinton Cards. The affairs, business and property of the company are being managed by the joint administrators. The company was founded in 1968 by Don Lewin.

But the singer/songwriter has certainly found her own voice over the course of five discs, and Heart and Crime is a further refinement of her approach to "sadcore." As usual, Doiron uses her voice as though it were a fly swatter she's too hot to lift on a sweltering summer day: words drift by as mere vowel sounds, with consonants regarded as an irritation to be ignored. However, the mood of the album is far more like winter, with crawling songs that revolve around barren arrangements of voice and acoustic guitar. Continually downbeat, composed in shades of grey, Heart and Crime is by no means for everyone. But when Doiron sings "He's the best thing that's happened to me / And I'm the best thing for him" (in "Sending the Photographs"), the light shining through the break in the clouds is beautiful indeed. --Shawn Conner
