Emily looked across the dining room table at her husband. As usual the only thing looking back at her was the front page of the morning paper. Forty three years of marriage and some things never changed, but there was a level of comfort in that. She smiled indulgently and looked down at the organizer next to her coffee cup. A luncheon meeting for the symphony committee and a D.A.R. tea were both on the agenda for today and somehow she needed to fit in a call to the caterer to check on the arrangements for next week's hospital benefit dinner.
The ring of the doorbell interrupted all thoughts of her jam packed schedule.
Richard turned down a corner of his paper and gave his wife a puzzled look, "Are you expecting someone?"
"No," she answered as the maid walked through on the way to answer the door.
Emily closed her date book and listened to hear who it was, but Richard had already gone back to his newspaper when crisp purposeful footsteps were heard crossing the foyer.
"Morning, guys," Lorelai greeted her parents as she entered the room.
"Lorelai," Emily replied with a note of surprise. "I don't have anything in my book. Did we have something scheduled today?"
Lorelai smiled at her mother and teased warmly, "Do I need an appointment to visit my parents?"
Emily returned her daughter's smile. "Well, no, of course not. Sit down. Would you like some coffee? Something to eat?"
"Sure, that would be great. Thanks," Lorelai said as she took her usual place at the table.
Emily watched her daughter for a moment, still in shock that she had suddenly appeared at their breakfast table, then called out to the maid. "Julia, please bring my daughter a plate and a cup of coffee."
The maid appeared in the doorway with a quick, "Yes ma'am," before disappearing back into the kitchen.
Richard folded up his paper and put it aside. "To what do we owe the pleasure of your company this morning?" he asked then began to eat his grapefruit.
"Why, thank you for asking, Dad," Lorelai said with exaggerated enthusiasm. She reached into the purse hooked on the back of her chair and pulled out a stack of pictures. "I came to get an opinion on centerpieces for the wedding."
Emily reached for the photos automatically. Lorelai was about to hand them to her when Richard asked with amused interest, "Ah… well… let's have a look, shall we?"
Lorelai smiled and handed them to her father instead, picking up on his playful tone. "I think you'll really like the one with the Venus flytraps."
Richard looked through the stack good-naturedly. "Yes, that is nice, but I think I prefer the dandelions."
Emily let out an exasperated sigh. "Oh honestly, you two."
Lorelai took the photos her father was holding out to her and handed them to her mother. "What do you think, Mom? Venus flytraps or dandelions?"
"Well, personally I'm fond of poison ivy," Emily deadpanned as she looked down at the pictures.
Lorelai laughed with surprise that her mother had actually joined in on the joking she and her father had started.
Richard was laughing too, enjoying the fact that Emily's wicked humor had caught their daughter off guard. It was good to see them so happy together.
"Oh, this one with the lilies and irises is lovely, Lorelai," Emily gushed.
Lorelai thanked the maid who had just returned from the kitchen and placed a cup of coffee and a plate with scrambled eggs, sausage, and a croissant in front of her.
"Which table linens did you finally decide on?" Emily asked as she continued to study the photos. "Lorelai?" Emily looked up and was shocked to see how pale her daughter had suddenly become. "Lorelai, are you okay?"
Lorelai nodded that she was okay then abruptly rushed from the table.
Emily rose and followed her. When she reached the downstairs bathroom, the door was partially open and she could hear the sounds of Lorelai being sick from inside. "Lorelai?" she called out as she slowly pushed back the door and stepped inside. Lorelai was clearly ill and struggling to keep her hair out of her face. Without a second thought, Emily went to Lorelai's side and gathered her daughter's hair back into one hand then began rubbing slow circles on her back with the other.
After a few minutes, Lorelai leaned back and tried to catch her breath. Emily took a glass out of the cabinet, filled it with water and handed it to Lorelai. "Thanks, Mom," she said taking the glass and rinsing out her mouth before taking a few tentative swallows.
"Everything okay?" Richard's voice called out from outside the bathroom.
Emily stepped closer to the door. "Would you get Lorelai some ginger ale? Oh and tell Julia to get one of the extra toothbrushes and some toothpaste, too."
"Of course," he answered and immediately set off to do as instructed.
Emily reached into the drawer next to the sink and got out a clean hand towel. She ran it under cold water and placed it soothingly against the back of Lorelai's neck. "Are you feeling any better?"
"Some," Lorelai answered. "I just don't know what happened. I was fine and then I looked down at those eggs and the smell and I just…"
"Mmm hmm," Emily said with a nod while giving Lorelai an appraising look.
"What?" Lorelai asked, evidently not getting whatever it was her mother was trying to say.
"And how have you been feeling lately?" Emily asked leadingly.
Lorelai took the damp towel and began to wipe her face and neck. "Mom, I don't feel good. Whatever it is, just say it," Lorelai replied plainly getting frustrated.
"I just know that whenever I was pregnant I couldn't get within ten feet of a plate of eggs," Emily blurted out a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
"I'm not –" Lorelai was cut off by a knock on the door.
"I've got the ginger ale," Richard called from outside the bathroom again. Emily opened the door and took the glass of ginger ale from him. "I also brought the toothbrush, tooth paste, and some mouthwash in case you want it," he said giving Lorelai an encouraging smile. "Are you feeling any better?"
Lorelai took the glass of ginger ale from her mother. "Yeah, I think so. Thanks, Dad."
"Okay… well then… good to hear…I'll just…" he stammered while backing away.
Lorelai sat down on the now closed toilet seat and took a couple sips of the ginger ale. "I guess it's possible," she admitted quietly looking straight ahead and not making eye contact with her mother.
"Really?" Emily asked a touch of excitement creeping into her voice.
Lorelai ran her free hand through her hair. "Yeah, I guess. I've been trying not to really think about it, but the possibility is definitely there."
"Have you and Luke talked about having children?" Emily asked. Clearly Lorelai wasn't thrilled with the idea of becoming a mother again.
Lorelai looked up at her mother, "We did, before," she turned away again, "Well, before Luke knew about April. He wanted to be a dad, but I wasn't sure I wanted another baby."
"Well, it looks like that decision may have been made for you," Emily replied calmly, no hint of judgment in her tone.
Lorelai looked up at the ceiling. "Man, why is it that I can never get the timing right? We're getting married in five weeks. This couldn't happen after the wedding?" she asked with a groan.
"What difference does that make in the long run?" Emily asked.
Lorelai looked back at her in disbelief. "I can't believe you of all people just said that."
Emily shrugged. "You're a grown woman. You're getting married in a month. Who cares?"
Lorelai gazed at her mother while she digested this unexpected attitude and Emily's earlier statement came back to her. "Hey, what did you mean whenever you were pregnant? You were only pregnant once, right?" Emily looked away from her. "Right?"
Emily busied herself opening the toothbrush and toothpaste containers. "Lorelai, now is not the time for this conversation."
"Mom?" Lorelai said with concern.
Emily put the toothbrush and toothpaste on the counter. "Why don't you brush your teeth, and I'll ask Julia to fix you some tea and toast to settle your stomach." Her voice had the slightest quiver to it as she spoke.
Lorelai rose and took hold of her mother's arm to stop her from leaving. "Mom."
"I need to throw these away," she replied holding up the empty packages from the toothpaste and toothbrush in her hand. Her voice had taken on a much harsher, cold tone.
Lorelai released her and nodded. "Okay, but we're talking before I leave."
Emily didn't look back as she walked away.
Twenty minutes later, Lorelai was once again seated in her regular chair at the dining room table. All traces of breakfast had been cleared away. Emily was obviously avoiding her daughter by busying herself with everything she could think of, personally supervising the preparation of the prescribed tea and toast, seeing Richard off to work, and making a 'vital' phone call. Finally, Emily walked back into the dining room as Lorelai was finishing her second piece of dry toast and looked almost surprised to see her still there.
Lorelai gave her a forced smile. "Not going anywhere, Mom."
Emily entered and stopped behind her chair at the end of the table, resting her hands on the back. "So, what are you going to do? Get one of those test things?" she asked, clearly avoiding Lorelai's statement.
"I guess I have to," Lorelai answered, "but we'll get back to me later. I want to know what you meant before."
Emily looked down at the chair in front of her and took a deep breath.
Lorelai stood and approached her. "Mom, whatever it is, you can tell me." Lorelai watched as her mother's shoulders sagged and she continued to stare down at her hands gripping the back of the chair. "Come on, why don't we go sit in the living room?" Lorelai suggested.
"Lorelai, this really isn't the time to talk about this," Emily argued almost desperately.
"Look, I'm going to be making up all kinds of things in my head now anyway. You may as well tell me the truth," Lorelai countered.
"Fine," Emily replied, resignation and defeat audible in her tone.
Lorelai headed for the living room but paused in the doorway until it was clear that Emily was following her. She took a seat on the couch. Emily sat down in one of the armchairs. Lorelai waited quietly for her mother to start talking.
Emily folded her hands together in her lap, took a deep breath and began, "Lorelai, your father and I both wanted children very much. We were thrilled when we found out I was pregnant four months after we were married, but…" she broke off and looked down again before continuing, "it just wasn't meant to be. Back then the doctor didn't know what caused the miscarriage. He just told us to wait a few months and try again."
Lorelai really wanted to say something, but she didn't know what and she could tell that wasn't the whole story.
"I had two more miscarriages before I got pregnant with you. I'd almost given up hope. I was so scared through the entire pregnancy, worrying that everything might not be okay with you." Emily brought her gaze back to her daughter, "But there you were nine months later, my perfect little girl. My miracle baby. Your father and I were both so happy." Lorelai gave her mother a little smile which Emily mirrored before continuing. "I let myself hope that maybe things would be different, maybe now that I'd had one baby everything would be okay."
When Emily didn't continue right away Lorelai asked quietly "But it wasn't?"
"No," Emily answered. "I did get pregnant two more times, once when you were six, and the last time when…" she trailed off her voice starting to crack.
Lorelai looked at her mother and saw the sadness that she was fighting to control. She waited silently for Emily to continue in her own time.
Emily fought to master her emotions. There was no turning back; she'd have to tell her everything. When she spoke again her voice was like steel, "The last time when you were fifteen."
"Fifteen?" Lorelai repeated in a hushed tone as the full picture started to sink in.
"I lost the baby a month before you told us you were pregnant," she explained with an almost unnatural calm.
Lorelai was clearly still trying to make sense of this new information but already felt a deep sadness. Her tone was somber and pensive as she said, "I'm so sorry you and Dad had to go through all that."
Emily gave Lorelai what she hoped was an encouraging smile. "I'm sorry you had to hear it all now. It's not the type of thing someone in your condition needs to think about."
"We don't even know that I am," Lorelai countered.
Emily's smile grew bigger and it reached her eyes. "You are. I can tell."
Lorelai smiled too, and shook her head. "Well if you say so, it must be true. Who needs e.p.t. when you've got E.P.G.?"
Emily's eyes narrowed briefly as she tried to understand what her initials had to do with anything. Then she quickly decided it was just another of Lorelai's silly references and didn't matter. She leaned forward, pleased to turn her attention to the possibility of being a grandmother again. "Really, Lorelai, aren't you happy about the prospect of being a mother again?"
"I guess I just need to let the idea sink in a bit." She leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes for a moment then gazed up at the ceiling. "I know Luke would be happy, and the idea of having a baby with him is nice. It would be completely different than it was with Rory, though."
Emily sat back in her chair and let her mind drift back. "It's a good kind of different though. Having your husband there with you every step of the way. I remember the first time your father held you; he was over the moon. And the first time you said Daddy, I thought that man was going to burst with joy." Lorelai gazed at her mother in wonder; she'd never really spoken to her about things like this before. "You deserve that kind of joy, Lorelai, and so does Luke."
Lorelai looked down at her lap and shrugged. "I guess one way or another Luke and I are going to have to have another talk about kids in the near future."
"That sounds like a good idea," Emily agreed, glad that Lorelai seemed to have warmed to the idea of another baby.
Lorelai glanced at the clock on the mantel behind Emily and announced, "I better get going. I promised Sookie we would go over the plans for the Benson anniversary party this morning."
They both stood and walked toward the foyer.
"You're sure you're okay to drive? You're not feeling nauseous anymore?" Emily fussed in typical motherly fashion.
"I'm fine, Mom," Lorelai replied as she picked up her purse from where the maid had placed it by the door. She turned back to Emily. "Thanks… for everything."
Emily nodded. "I want to know what that test says."
"I promise, I'll call and let you know after I take it," Lorelai assured her on the way out.
Emily watched Lorelai climb into her jeep and drive away then closed the door and leaned against it. A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. Having to relive those memories had been painful, but she was closer to her daughter than she had been in more than twenty-five years and it looked like there might be another grandchild in their future. One whose life she was not going to miss any of, those were both very good things. Very good indeed.
...the end...
Notes: A big thank you to UnaVitaSegreta for her wonderful beta skills, encouragement and patience while I tried to come up with a title. If there are any remaining mistakes they're all mine.

The Whitefish Bay boys basketball team needed someone to step up Saturday afternoon in its WIAA Division 2 sectional final with second-ranked and heavily favored Wisconsin Lutheran.
And senior forward Ron Patten proved to be that man, as he hit a runner from the left wing in traffic with 24 seconds left in overtime that held up to be the gamewinner as the Blue Dukes advanced to next weekend's WIAA State Tournament in Madison with a 51-50 win.
"I just knew I had to step it up, step it up big," said Patten, who led all scorers with 32 points. "During the timeouts, they were telling me 'Ron, take it, take control ' and I just knew I had to do it."
With the win, the Blue Dukes (18-8) advance to a state D2 semifinal in Madison next Friday at the Kohl Center in Madison while the Vikings saw their 22-game winning streak come to an end (22-3).
The win also erased a bad memory for Patten and the rest of the Blue Dukes of a lopsided loss to eventual state D2 champion Catholic Memorial in the sectional final last season.
"It was huge to have guys like Ron and Cal (Ehrke) and Jamie (Schneck) who are battled-tested and are tough in situations like this," said coach Kevin Lazovik. "We knew after we got that big early lead (it was 22-5 midway through the second quarter) that Lutheran was just too good not to try and comeback. We didn't respond to it well at first and it didn't help that we had huge foul trouble."
But Bay remained tough. Lutheran closed a 29-13 halftime deficit to 34-28 with the help of an 11-0 run midway through the third quarter. Guard Kelin Johnson stopped the run with a drive, but the Vikings clearly had momentum going into the fourth quarter.
Patten put together a three-point play to open the fourth for the Blue Dukes but Lutheran, behind all-state level guard Terry Nash (20 points) closed the gap to 37-36. Patten stopped that run with one three-pointer but eventually the Vikings broke through as guard Chris Golden hit a putback with 3:09 remaining for Lutheran's first lead at 3:09.
Again, Pattten came through with another three to put Bay up 43-41 with 2:35 left, but then Nash knocked down two free throws with 2:28 left to tie the score at 43-all.
Both teams missed out on opportunities to win it down the stretch, with Bay getting the last opportunity as Johnson's baseline jumper was just long at the buzzer.
Things went bad early for Bay in the overtime as a turnover led to a Nash steal and lay-up gave the Vikings the early lead. Schneck, the Blue Dukes emotional center for much of the season, fouled out on the play.
"It wasn't my night but that's why we have the rest of the team," said Schneck.
Indeed, Patten tied the score up on a hoop immediately afterword but then Lutheran got a tip-in from Chris Rotruck to put it back ahead at 47-45 with 2:47 remaining.
Junior guard Will Davis calmly hit two free throws to tie the score back up for Bay with 1:40 remaining, but then Joshua Gordon battled in traffic for the go-ahead hoop for the Vikings and then Joshua Lindner hit one of two free throws to make it 50-47 Lutheran with just 1:09 remaining.
But Patten got fouled and hit two free throws with 55 seconds left to make it 50-49 and after Lindner missed two free throws, Bay had a chance. After a long possession, Patten fought his way into traffic off the left side. It became a bit of a scramble and Patten made contact with a defender but then calmly sank the decisive shot.
"When the defender fell, I thought they might call an offensive foul, but they didn't. I saw that the angle was open and I just took the shot," said Patten. "I just knew I had to do it."
But the Blue Dukes weren't out of the woods just yet. Lutheran took two timeouts on the subsequent possession and put the ball in Nash's hands.
After their second timeout with 4.7 seconds remaining, Lindner got the shot off for Lutheran. It came off the iron and Lutheran had a second chance but the ball got tipped out and Bay could start to celebrate.
"We've had a tough non-conference schedule all season and it was done just for this purpose," said Ehrke. "It's been an up-and-down season and we've overcome adverse situations and been in tough games before, but never something of this magnitude.
"This is amazing."
Lazovik couldn't say enough about Patten's effort.
"I couldn't be prouder of the guy," he said. "To see him develop from his freshmen year on up, to now and with this kind of effort in this kind of situation. That's a senior really getting the job done."

The Jigsaw-logo image partially or fully obscures the first line of text (in H1
element) on all Jigsaw pages.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/ or a page below it in the directory structure.
Actual Results:
The Jigsaw-logo image partially or fully obscures the first line of text (i.e.:
the title) (in H1 element).
Expected Results:
I think the author intended the text to be shifted down below the image.
The "bug" (of the text being obscured) occurs in all Gecko browsers, but does
not occur in any of the non-Gecko browsers that I tested it in (i.e.: Konqueror
3.1, Opera 7.0, MSIE 6.0, Amaya 7.1).
It appears to be caused by the absolute positioning of the logos in the CSS
<URI: http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/style/jigsaw2.css > and Mozilla appears to be
handling the margin collapsing correctly.
Created attachment 119626 [details]
This is a copy of the style sheet for the Jigsaw pages. The styles for the
icons are in the DIV section in the middle.
Although the page is displayed using quirks mode due to the transitional DTD,
forcing the page to display in standards-compliance mode by changing the DTD to
the strict version does not change the display of the page.
please check if this problem still exists, because we want to get rid of
unconfirmed bugs.
Many bugs in here are strill unconfirmed, because eigher nobody sees the problem
or nobody is able to get to the page because of a required login.
(sorry for the spam)
Confirmed. Bug still exists.
W3C expects browsers to be broken.....:/
This bug no longer occurs on the homepage at http://jigsaw.w3.org/ due to a
redesign, but still seems to appear on other pages. Due to the apparent
browser-component-centereralised-mindedness of the powers that be at Mozilla, I
can not assign tech-evang bugs that I report to myself, but I will send a short
note to mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com refering to this bug as this bug has been
around for a while. (I was wondering if anyone could confirm that this is
defintely a tech-evang (and its not just me).)
Well, I just thought "hey, I'll just try assigning it to myself one more time"
when i posted the last comment and it worked. Maybe they changed the assignment
rules for tech-evang bugs, or was I just dreaming?
NB: substitute http://w3.org/Jigsaw/ for http://jigsaw.w3.org/ in item #6. I'm
not with it today.
BTW, my short email to mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com should be available at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/site-comments/2003Jun/ soon.
tech evang june 2003 reorg
Confirmed that the Jigsaw w3pages (e.g.: http://w3.org/Jigsaw/ ) still look
broken in Gecko. Assigning to self. Although, this is a minor bug, I think it
is important to ensure the W3C follow their own standards and not those of
Microsoft; I will email W3C again.
I don't think this is a Tech Evangelism bug. See the testcase of bug 274387.
That makes it clearly a bug in Mozilla (see also what Opera7.5 is doing, which
is correct).
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 274387 ***

Day 2 of 32 • This day's reading
Communication Obstacles: Arrogance
Is it good to be self-reliant? Of course. If you are a parent, you have spent years and huge amounts of energy teaching and training your kids to take care of themselves. Self-reliance is good. Self-absorption is not.
I know one reason why people don't pray much and why God doesn't hear from me more: arrogance. When you're pretty full of yourself and think you can do it all, praying seems like begging, or worse, a waste of time.
Jesus told a story about a farmer who thought his huge profits were realized because he was such a genius: 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." But God said to him, 'You fool!' (Luke 12:17-20).
I think that's one major reason why God lets people, including his believers, suffer. It is vital that we see our limitations, our sin, our mortality. We utterly depend on God's providing and forgiveness every day.
Practice with me: "Lord, I need you. Help me today."

This was our third trip to Red Bud Manor but it won't be our last. We have loved every stay that we have had there. I recommend it to all my friends.
5 su ottobre 26, 2015
My wife and I enjoyed a relaxing night and an excellent breakfast. We were created by our host Randi who was fun and informative. This is a beautiful home and you can tell the owners are proud of it by the way it is cared for. Wonderful places all around the house to sit and relax. The front porch is awesome! If you like a b & b atmosphere, you'll enjoy a stay at the Red Bud Manor.

The Red Bud Manor in Eureka Springs was a wonderful experience. My husband and I had never stayed at a Bed & Breakfast. Randi, the inn keeper, was friendly and knowledgeable. The Carriage Room is just as it appears in the pictures, small but romantic. We had our own little deck area and a private entrance. The interior of the manor, itself, is absolutely beautiful! Our breakfast was thoughtful to our gluten free request and very good! The sugar-lavender cookies that Randi makes is a unique touch, scrumptious, and very 'Eureka Springs'. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Red Bud Manor Inn and would certainly recommend it to others!
5 su agosto 31, 2015
Not only was the room delightfully comfortable and well cared for, but the inn is just full of delightfully quiet private spaces to relax and enjoy life. And of course Eureka Springs is just a great place to be. We're experienced visitors there, but our host gave us excellent information about places to go and things to do that have come into being since our last trip.

Treated us like royalty!! Best breakfast and great info for the area.

This was our second time staying here and everything was truly outstanding. Randee the innkeeper makes you feel right at home and serves the best breakfast that will keep you full until dinner. Love the decor in the rooms and the house. We will definitely be staying here every trip to Eureka Springs.

My wife and I stayed were most impressed by our two-night stay at Red Bud. Onsite manager Randee prepared such special gourmet breakfasts and was extremely helpful.

Our stay at the Red Bud Manor in Eureka Springs was excellent starting with a welcome from the Inn Keeper. The location was ideal for our short visit. The morning breakfast was superb and meant that we did not need any lunch. We definitely will try to return to the Red Bud Manor.
4,4 su agosto 01, 2014
Very pretty setting with lovely rooms. Nice artwork throughout the Manor and the staff were friendly and provided a delicious breakfast each morning. A relaxing time; I definitely recommend this Bed & Breakfast!
Eureka Hideaway, is furnished with a beautiful wrought iron and wood king size bed with seven layers of comfort bedding ensemble. An antique cherry side table and Eastlake mirrored dresser add a lovely touch while satin covered armchairs provide comfortable seating. Decorative pillows and throws add a touch of comfort.

The Garden Suite is the one favored most by couples for a romantic getaway. A private covered terrace with wicker chairs and a wicker swing provides a perfect place for outdoor relaxation. Large windows flood the antique filled room with light and offer a view of the gardens. A side-by-side Jacuzzi provides the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The antique Victorian Queen bed is covered with seven layers of comfort to ensure a restful night's sleep and carved armchairs provide an air of elegance.
The Carriage Room is a cozy retreat with an antique Victorian Queen bed and linens rivaling that of a luxury hotel. Fanciful lamps with crepe shades and crystal accents lend elegance to the room's atmosphere. The bath features a walk-in shower and 100% cotton towels. Just outside the room is a semi-private deck for relaxing.

- 62 g (2.2 oz)
- Made in Vietnam.
Odor Resistant
Polygiene® odor control permanently protects your garments from smelling like a middle school locker room. Sweat itself is odorless, but it creates the conditions that bacteria need to multiply, and some of those bacteria produce odors. Polygiene permanent odor control stops the growth of odor-causing bacteria on fabrics, so you can wear more and wash less.
Active only on the fabric surface, Polygiene permanent odor control does not interfere with perspiration or with the skin's natural bacterial flora. Polygiene particles are more than 100 times larger than nanoparticles and therefore are too large to penetrate to the skin's barrier. Polygiene-treated fabrics have received Medical Class 1 approval in Europe, the same class that includes bandages.

Step 3: Launch a Sample Amazon Redshift Cluster
Now that you have the prerequisites completed, you can launch your Amazon Redshift cluster.
The cluster that you are about to launch will be live (and not running in a sandbox). You will incur the standard Amazon Redshift usage fees for the cluster until you delete it. If you complete the tutorial described here in one sitting and delete the cluster when you are finished, the total charges will be minimal.
To Launch an Amazon Redshift Cluster
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/redshift/.
If you use IAM user credentials, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the cluster operations. For more information, go to Controlling Access to IAM Users in the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide.
In the main menu, select the region in which you want to create the cluster. For the purposes of this tutorial, select US West (Oregon).
On the Amazon Redshift Dashboard, choose Launch Cluster.
The Amazon Redshift Dashboard looks similar to the following:
On the Cluster Details page, enter the following values and then choose Continue:
Cluster Identifier: type
Database Name: leave this box blank. Amazon Redshift will create a default database named
Database Port: type the port number on which the database will accept connections. You should have determined the port number in the prerequisite step of this tutorial. You cannot change the port after launching the cluster, so make sure that you have an open port number in your firewall so that you can connect from SQL client tools to the database in the cluster.
Master User Name: type
masteruser. You will use this username and password to connect to your database after the cluster is available.
Master User Password and Confirm Password: type a password for the master user account.
On the Node Configuration page, select the following values and then choose Continue:
Node Type: dc1.large
Cluster Type: Single Node
On the Additional Configuration page, you will see different options depending on your AWS account, which determines the type of platform the cluster uses. To keep things simple for this tutorial, you do not need to understand the distinction between these platforms, EC2-Classic and EC2-VPC. You can use the information in Additional Resources to locate the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide and learn more after the tutorial.
If you have a default VPC in the region you've selected, you will use the EC2-VPC platform to launch your cluster. You screen will look similar to the following:
Use the following values if you are launching your cluster in the EC2-VPC platform:
Cluster Parameter Group: select the default parameter group.
Encrypt Database: None.
Choose a VPC: Default VPC (vpc-xxxxxxxx)
Cluster Subnet Group: default
Publicly Accessible: Yes
Choose a Public IP Address: No
Enhanced VPC Routing: No
Availability Zone: No Preference
VPC Security Groups: default (sg-xxxxxxxx)
Create CloudWatch Alarm: No
If you do not have a VPC, you will use the EC2-Classic platform to launch your cluster. Your screen will look similar to the following:
Use the following values if you are launching your cluster in the EC2-Classic platform:
Cluster Parameter Group: select the default parameter group.
Encrypt Database: None.
Choose a VPC: Not in VPC
Availability Zone: No Preference
Cluster Security Groups: default
Create CloudWatch Alarm: No
Associate an IAM role with the cluster.
For AvailableRoles, choose myRedshiftRole and then choose Continue.
On the Review page, review the selections that you've made and then choose Launch Cluster.
Your screen will look similar to the following:
A confirmation page appears and the cluster will take a few minutes to finish. Choose Close to return to the list of clusters.
On the Clusters page, choose the cluster that you just launched and review the Cluster Status information. Make sure that the Cluster Status is available and the Database Health is healthy before you try to connect to the database later in this tutorial.

The Fire leapes up, and flows, but spirals in a graceful and elegaant motion. It dances its teasing waltz, circling in, with a lick up into the air, as if kicking, and out ending, and starting its dance again.
Fire is a wonderful, beautiful, dangerous thing.

Esporta Brings Indoor Cycling World Record Back To Britain
Employees of the leading premium health club chain, Esporta, made history last night by breaking the world record for the largest indoor group cycling class. The 412 cyclists set the new Guinness World Record™ at Esporta's annual conference at Th
The 412 cyclists set the new Guinness World Record™ at Esporta's annual conference at The Gloucestershire Health & Racquets Club.
This is the second time that the premium UK health and fitness chain has broken the record in less than twelve months. The first, which took place on 28 February 2008, saw 323 high spirited Esporta employees cycling simultaneously in an organised class at the company's 2008 annual conference. Esporta's first record lasted five months before being broken in July 2008 by a gym in Valencia, Spain and then again at a trade exhibition in Toronto, Canada.
Esporta's CEO, Glenn Timms, who led last night's class on stage alongside fitness instructor Anna Lovelock, said: "Indoor cycling is one of the most popular of the 3,500 classes that are organised each week at Esporta's 55 clubs across the UK and is something that we consider ourselves specialists in. It's high-tempo, high energy and instructor-led which creates an incredibly motivating environment that helps people get the most out of their workout. We are delighted to have reclaimed our Guinness World Record. Bringing it back to the UK illustrates our winning attitude and drive to encourage every single one of our employees to 'live the dream' and experience the benefits that our members enjoy when participating in group exercise classes at Esporta Health Clubs."

For more information, please contact John Davies at Esporta on 07776 185533 or email john.davies@
Notes to editor:
Group cycling is an aerobic exercise that takes place in a classroom setting on specially designed stationary bicycles called spinning bikes. It is led by an instructor that uses music and enthusiastic coaching to motivate the participants, typically following routines that are designed to simulate terrain and situations encountered in actual bicycle rides, including hill climbs, sprints and interval training. Participants set goals based on their heart rate, which can be measured by hand or using a heart rate monitor and each person in the class can choose their own goals for the session. Besides being a great form of low impact aerobic activity (burning between 400-600 calories in 40 minutes), spinning is also beneficial in strengthening the muscles of the lower body.
About Esporta
Esporta Health Clubs operate 55 premium health and leisure clubs in the UK and Ireland. Facilities range from club to club and include state-of-the-
Esporta is renowned for the quality of its Tennis Academy, and was the first commercial operator in the UK to be awarded High Performance Status by the Lawn Tennis Association.

Indonesian cuisine was influenced by traders from India, the Middle East, China, and, later, Spain and Portugal. The Dutch, who colonized many of the 6,000 islands that make up Indonesia, adapted the buffet eating style of the native peoples, into the famous rijstaffel (or rice table). Sambals and tempeh, an adaptation of tofu, also originated in Indonesia.
The basic diet on most of the islands is rice (nasi), lots of it, supplemented with vegetables, a bit of fish, and, once in a while, savory meat and eggs. Anything with the word nasi in front of it means it's prepared or served with rice. All traditional Indonesian food is designed to complement or be complemented by rice. For Indonesians, the whiter the rice, and the more it's been hulled and slipped, the tastier it is. White rice serves as a sharp counterpoint to the spiciness and heat of Indonesian food.
Beef products are consumed mostly by urbanites. Rural consumption of beef is kept in check by the need to maintain buffalo as draught animals and cows as milk producers. Chicken tends to be scrawny and tough in Indonesia, but at least it has flavor. Pork is produced and consumed by the Hindu Balinese, the urban Chinese, and the Torajans. In Islamic Indonesia, pork must be served—if served at all—on a separate table, and never on the same plate with other foods. Goats, bred all over Indonesia, are the Muslim staff of life.
Indonesia offers a staggering amount of fresh seafood: tuna, shrimp, lobster, crab, anchovies, carp, prawns, and sea slugs. Try the succulent baked fish (ikan bakar), or a huge plate of perfectly prepared prawns in butter and garlic sauce. Some freshwater fish such as the buttery belanak (gray mullet) are bred in compounds; take the bones out, mix with coconut milk and spices, then wrap back in its skin and bake.

Even number = 10/21
Multiple of 3 = 7/21
10/21 + 7/21 = 17/21
Guess what? I keep coming up with 17/21 too.
Book typo?
You need to remember that 6 is also an even number, so you can't count it twice as it is only one number. So you have 10 possible even numbers, plus 7 possible numbers that are multiples of 3, minus 1 multiple of 3 (the number 6) because you already counted it in your even numbers.
A spinner has 5 sections labeled 1 through 5. The probability of randomly spinning an even number is 2/5. What is the probability of not spinning an even number?

In a bid to gain traction with Latinos in the crucial swing state of Florida, Republicans are tearing into the Obama administration's recent approval of visas for Cuban government officials.
Following several days of criticism from Cuban-Americans on both sides of the aisle, the Republican National Committee (RNC) weighed in Tuesday by organizing a press call with Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) aimed squarely at the Florida electorate. During the call, Diaz-Balart expressed his "deep outrage" over the visa flap.
By targeting Cuban-Americans, an important voting bloc in a state that could decide the next president, Republicans hope to hurt Obama's momentum heading into the November election.
The president had the support of 67 percent of Latino voters in a Pew Research Center poll last month, while presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney's tough stance on immigration in the primary race likely won't help him with Latinos in the general election. Romney did win Florida's GOP primary, and the state's Cuban-American senator, Marco RubioMarco RubioRubio: Lack of GOP consensus on healthcare is not a 'weakness' Overnight Finance: Trump budget faces GOP resistance | House panel blocks Dem effort on Trump's business ties | Corporate giants at odds over border tax Rubio defends foreign aid amid proposed cuts MORE, is considered a top vice presidential contender.
Obama won more than two-thirds of the Latino vote in 2008, including 57 percent in Florida — a state where Latinos have traditionally voted for the Republican presidential candidate (George W. Bush won 56 percent of the Latino vote in Florida in 2004).
Cuban-Americans, however, are a different matter.
Obama carried only 47 percent of them in 2008, according to exit polls. And they make up the biggest single Latino group among Republican voters at a time of shifting demographics: Latinos made up 14 percent of GOP primary voters in 2012, according to the RNC, versus 12 percent in 2008.
"Whether it's the economy or the issue of Cuba, you see Cubans — and all Latinos — aligning with the Republican Party," said an RNC official who pointed out that Republican Gov. Rick Scott won more than half the Latino vote in 2010.
Researchers at Florida International University paint a subtler picture, however.
More than 60 percent of Cuban-Americans from Miami-Dade County are in favor of allowing unrestricted travel to Cuba for all Americans, according to 2011 results of a poll conducted regularly since 1991, while more than 70 percent favor re-establishing diplomatic relations with the island. A majority — 53 percent — want to retain the embargo, however, even though an overwhelming majority believe it hasn't worked very well, or not at all.
Regardless, last week's revelation that the State Department had recently granted visas to three high-level officials — Foreign Affairs Ministry official Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, National Assembly member Eusebio Leal and Raul Castro's daughter Mariela Castro — did not go over well, forcing congressional Democrats to distance themselves from the decision.
Rep. Albio Sires (D-N.J.) joined the three Republican Cuban-Americans in the House in a letter to Secretary of State Hillary ClintonHillary Rodham ClintonAFL-CIO president backs Trump's infrastructure plan Haley: US 'not afraid' to call out Russia GOP hasn't reached out to centrist Dem senators MORE urging her to "exercise better judgment when reviewing entry requests from representatives of enemy states in the future." And Sen. Robert MenendezRobert MenendezSteve Mnuchin, foreclosure king, now runs your US Treasury Senate Dems move to nix Trump's deportation order Senators to Trump: We support additional Iran sanctions MORE (D-N.J.) called Mariela Castro "a vociferous advocate of the regime and opponent of democracy who has defended the regime's brutal repression of democracy activists."
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who has disagreed with Obama before on Cuban issues, noted she thought such visa requests should not be granted.
But she focused her criticism on Mariela Castro's earlier visits under the Bush administration, telling the Miami Herald: "The Bush Administration set a bad precedent by granting Mariela Castro a waiver in 2001 and 2002, as I believe that such visa requests should not be accepted because of the ongoing human rights abuses in Cuba. While I respect my colleagues, it's important to note they did not criticize President George W. Bush for granting Ms. Castro a waiver in 2002. Politics has no place when we are standing up for human rights."
Romney released a statement Tuesday night reiterating his criticism of the administration for approving the visa.
"We shouldn't be extending an open hand to a regime engaged in the systematic and flagrant denial of basic human rights. While the Cuban regime engages in a fierce crackdown on dissent and continues to unjustly imprison one of our own citizens, Alan Gross, the Obama administration should not be welcoming the daughter of a dictator. The United States should be standing up for those on the island who are risking their very lives fighting for freedom," he said.
The Republican attack hasn't been without glitches, however.
Tuesday's call was initially supposed to feature Rep. David Rivera (R-Fla.), who is facing an ethics investigation on allegations that he illegally lived off campaign contributions when he was a state lawmaker. Rivera didn't make it for the call, and the RNC blamed a scheduling conflict.
"The fact that the RNC found David Rivera to be a credible source on anything is laughable considering his status as an embattled member of Congress, under investigation by Florida officials for living off his campaign contributions for nearly a decade," the Democratic National Committee said in a statement. "No wonder he 'couldn't make it' on the conference call."
And the Florida Democratic Party also pointed out that the George W. Bush administration likewise approved a visa for Mariela Castro in 2002.
"Republicans need to stop playing with people's emotions when it comes to Cuba," said Obama Hispanic issues adviser Freddy Balsera. "While they grab headlines criticizing the president and distorting his record on Cuba, they avoid saying that Mariela Castro actually received a visa to visit the U.S. in 2002 under the Bush administration. In fact, the top State Department official in charge of Latin America at the time was a Cuban American. Where was their criticism then? Nowhere, because ultimately this is all about politics for them."

Not to be flip, but I believe if you do a bit of research on the imporvments
in Texas education ( for everyone) in the last six year, you will find a
pleasnt surprise. I do agreewith you , on the use of true or false tests,
all you need if you are halfway lucky, is to guess right on 50 %, giving you
a 50% right score! That seems to be about all that is necessary to "get by"
in todays average education system!

Where should we start:
The fan is horrible! Apparently the bearings were bad in mine which most likely contributed to the noise. I looked around and that it can me a common issue with the blower on this fan.
It runs fairly hot for the graphics card.
Other Thoughts:
Some members has attributed the fan to poor control center settings or user incompetence. Bull****. From a mechanical standpoint, the card is simply poor quality. To be honest, I messed with the settings for hours and could not remove the rattling and grinding noise. I feel for members new to computer building, because products should be able to work without with a PHD in advanced computer wizardry.

Stayed here for one night while I was traveling on work. The hotel is located close to Al Karama post office where I work. You can call it an Indian three star hotel. Rooms are really big and comfortable. TV does not have many channels to choose from but wifi works seamlessly. There are around four restaurant options to dine in, primarily Indian cuisine. Also there is a night club and bar. Gym is well equipped but the pool was out of order. Breakfast spread is decent, although there should be more tables to accommodate guests. All in all a comfortable stay.
Just the 7 of my friends and what a royal treatment..vegetarian starters galore, the paneer and potato was brilliant, the chat served with curd was smacking and the elaborate dinner buffet was outstanding. For the price, it's a tummy fill and good taste... the gulab jamun in the sweet corner was yuummmmm...
The room has problems with an AC leaking water, the internet connection is above average for Dubai in terms of stability. The room I stayed in was located on the first floor which seems to be built on top of a bar which makes the room literally vibrate in the evenings. Feel the place is overpriced for what it is
Amazing night with friends one of the best place to visit to have a calm time with a few friends and the people to welcome you is amazing friendly and will tend to you when ever you need any kind of service or help. Especially a person named kanayya one of the best person I've met in the time I've been to many places for a hangout .. everything is chilled and he will help you with anything. Must visit place
We stayed here in November 2016. We went in Tour. The Hotel is good. But it require to gets expand in any ways. The rooms are nice and clean, But, the staff are very less to manage the luggage and for other facilities. If there is other option one can choose. Overall Hotel is good. The nuisance of Bar and Music will be always there upto 3 AM. One can choose room at 3rd floor.
I was there for 3 nights - December 2016: - Reception: the whole reception team are Good, Cooperative, especially Miss Aashiya - House keeping and room service: Good. - Price: reasonable - Quite rooms: 2nd floor as (Night DJ on M and 4th) so avoid 1st and 3rd floor. - Metro station: Far - Breakfast: reasonable open buffet - Swimming pool: Cold - Toilet: Designed in european style (i. e. no water source neer the cabnet) - Security: Majority Ok except one rude tall white man Thank you
Its center to all mega malls and has nearby metro station, The staff are good but always looking for tips. The guests are mostly families. They have valley parking and take good car of your car. Also the food is very nice .
I was in dubai in month of feb..staye two days .hotel is ok room are also clean ..staff is also but specially indian and pakistani staff are co operate..i dont no what is problem of philipino . They talk like roud and rough.. som clubs in hotel specially mirchi bt i was confuse onething ..ya i know that guest not allowe in dubai but how can you stop yourself if you find so many ladies who want to come in room in these club..i dont no what is the possiblity in dubai..it mean they want to say ...BAR IS OPEN BUT YOU CANT DRINK WOW...RESTAURANT HAVE MANY FOOD BUT CANNOT EAT
I had the opportunity to stay in Ramee Royal for more than 15 days in August 2016. The stay was comfortable and I liked the indian food they offered. If you are planning for longer stay, ask for Rachelle in sales. Very courteous and helpful. She will be willing to bend some rules to accommodate guest and make them feel at home.
Was there with my wife and kids last week to start our 5 night stay, we reached the hotel around 2.15 PM and was asked to wait in the crowded reception area and were told that the room is getting ready. Time passed while we were sitting in the reception and around 4 PM I was getting nervous, while checking about the room not being ready, the receptionist claimed that my son can't be accommodated as per the booking and he has room only in a floor where there's bars just below and above that blast loud music until early morning. We've all felt let down, refused to pay additional, take the room and then moved onto our next hotel. We have decided never to use or stay in any of the Ramee Group hotels henceforth. They must train their staff to be courteous and to tell the truth to the customers who are paying to stay in their hotels. Overall a worst experience which spoiled a whole day of plans after driving for hours to reach the hotel from Oman.
Located in Bur Dubai, Ramee Royal Hotel is within a mile (2 km) of popular sights such as BurJuman Mall and Dubai Creek. This 4-star hotel has 102 guestrooms and offers an outdoor pool, free in-room WiFi, and free valet parking. Deira City Centre and Dubai Museum are also nearby.

The Anniston Star staff gained recognition this summer in the recent round of awards from the Alabama Press Association and Associated Press Media Editors, or APME.
The Star took home eight APME awards, including three for first place, and 10 awards from the APA, including two first-place finishes. At the APA awards, The Star garnered four awards for second place and four for third place. In addition, The Star took three awards for second place in different categories at the APME awards while also picking up two for third place.
Bob Davis, the associate publisher and editor of The Star, won first place in Division A at the APA awards for Best Editorial with his piece entitled, "A second opinion—Bentley and his distaste for Obamacare.
"I think [the awards] say that people have recognized our work as very high quality," he said. "It is nice recognition but we don't do the work we do for awards."
Davis, who served as president of the Association of Opinion Journalists from September 2012 to October 2013, said the quality journalism The Star produces would not be possible without the unwavering support of the newspaper's leaders.
"Through the work of the owners, the editors and writers and photographers, they have laid down this tremendous foundation and we are doing our best to add our own bricks to that wall," he said.
Bill Wilson, a staff photographer for The Star, won first place for Humorous Moment Photo at the APME awards for his photo of an Anniston police officer chasing a goose.
"I think the staff did well and I was pleased with that," he said. "With the photo I had that won, I just happened to have my camera and it was a cop chasing a goose. I'm just glad I was ready."
AnnaMaria Jacob, copy desk chief at The Star, won first place for non-deadline page design at the APME awards.
"It's always a team effort," she said. "Nothing happens in a vacuum, but when something good like this does happen, it is nice that you can share it."
Jacob said she was glad to be a part of a great newsroom dynamic where the talent of the copy desk can merge with the talent of the writing and editing staff.
"I think people want more dynamic designs and it's nice to see that we can complement the work the writers do to make such engaging packages. Just to win an award is always a shock."
Brooke Carbo, assistant features editor at The Star, also took first place in the APME lifestyle features category for her piece titled "Unsheltered: Alabama's shelter pets head north to find adoptive families."
"This was my first year to have anything submitted and to win two writing awards in your first year submitting something was unreal," said Carbo. "Especially the first place award for 'Unsheltered' because that is an issue that I do feel strongly about. It was received well when it came out and this is another way to shed light on the subject."

Google Chrome for iOS Review
You know there's pent-up demand for a better Web browsing experience on the iPhone and iPad when Google's Chrome browser becomes the No. 1 free app in the App Store overnight. But what does Google's app really bring to the table? How about bookmark syncing with the desktop, Incognito mode and the ability to quickly thumb between open tabs? We tested all of these features and more to see if you should make this the browser of choice on your iOS device.
Getting Started
Logging into a Google account is optional; those who choose to opt out will not lose any browsing functionality besides syncing and automatic login for Google websites. Those with two-step authentication enabled will need to create an application-specific password for each device using Google Chrome.
Chrome offers a short guided tour through its user interface. Android users will already be familiar with all of the new features, as the iOS version is nearly identical to the existing mobile Chrome. However, those switching from Safari will benefit from the walkthrough. This tour explains features such as the single field for both Web searches and URL input; how to open, close and switch tabs; signing in; and browsing incognito.
Chrome's fantastic user experience shines through when dealing with multiple tabs. Tab switching is performed by dragging from the left or right side of the screen; it feels like swiping through a deck of cards. There is also a tab button in the top right corner, on both the iPhone and iPad versions, which displays all open tabs. Swiping up and down expands and collapses tabs, and left or right quickly removes unwanted websites.
Note that even though you may decide to make Chrome your default browser on your iOS device, URLs embedded within other apps (such as Mail and Twitter) will still automatically open in Safari.
iPhone vs. iPad
In the iPhone version, clicking the tab icon enters a tab-specific view. From here, users can navigate vertically through all open tabs or horizontally to switch between regular and incognito mode. There is also the option to create a new tab directly from this screen.
While the iPad's version of tabbed browsing is faster than the iPhone, Chrome still offers a great experience on both devices.
Incognito Mode
Incognito prevents pages from showing up in the browser and search history, and cookies won't be saved. For technical reasons, however, Chrome cannot prevent websites from using local storage to track visits over the course of an incognito browsing session.
Tabs from other browsers can be accessed through the "Other devices" section of the New Tab window. This view shows all connected Chrome browsers as well as each available tab for easy syncing. Clicking on a tab name opens that website on your current device, also syncing that tab's back and forward history.
Apple doesn't currently offer tab syncing in mobile Safari, but will with iOS 6 this Fall, so this feature won't be exclusive to Chrome for long.
Chrome is fast and responsive, but still not as fast as the native mobile Safari app. Due to app restrictions set by Apple, Chrome uses Apple's UIWebView to render Web pages. Safari uses a more powerful JavaScript engine called "Nitro" to execute scripts. When we ran a JavaScript speed test on the mobile versions of both Chrome and Safari, Chrome scored 12.5 versus Safari's 29.65 (higher scores are better).
On our real-world tests, Safari consistently loaded websites faster, but Chrome was at most a second or two behind. We connected to our office Wi-Fi network and loaded YouTube on our iPhone 4S, and the site fully loaded in 6 seconds with Safari and 7 seconds with Chrome. NYTimes.com loaded in 6.5 seconds in Safari versus 7 in Chrome; CNN took 4 seconds in both browsers and ESPN actually loaded faster on Chrome, clocking 5 seconds to Safari's 5.5 seconds.

Battle hots up to save ancient buildings in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu
Cultural heritage experts and villagers are calling for the protection of dozens of ancient buildings in a village in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, which are on the verge of demolition by the authorities' bulldozers.
It is the latest example of tussling between government officials' pursuit of economic growth and the public's desire of protecting cultural relics.
A plan released about a month ago by the Zhenjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone said all houses in Ge village, which is administered by the town of Dinggang, would be pulled down, apart from nine old houses included in the national heritage list.
The village, home to more than 530 families, dates back to the Southern Song dynasty (AD 1127-1279), when its first settlers moved south from Shandong to avoid warfare.
Wang Yongping, an architecture professor at Nanjing University of Technology, said he had led a team of 160 students to investigate Ge village in 2011 and they had found 67 well-preserved buildings with Ming dynasty (AD 1368-1644 ) and Qing dynasty (AD 1644-1911) features.
"These buildings form the oldest, the largest and most completely preserved residential blocks in northern Jiangsu," he said. "Those buildings, with their elegant ornamentation, such as stone and wood carving, are of great cultural value."
Three years ago the local authorities considered applying to the provincial government for recognition of Ge village as a "historic cultural village" because of its 62 ancient houses as well as several old roads and wells, but they did not proceed with the application, the Oriental Morning Post reported.
The village was targeted for demolition two years ago, when officials announced a plan to level most of it in just 100 days. Local officials have since admitted that little progress was made due to opposition from villagers. A letter signed by 186 villagers in 2011 said "protecting our ancient village is protecting culture".
Dinggang party secretary Xu Renlan said demolishing the village was part of the town's urban plan and rebuilding would not feature any commercial property.
"Our goal is to build up a modern village incorporating modern and ancient elements and co-ordinating the causes of protecting heritage and improving people's living environment," Xu said on June 20.
Zhao Jian , deputy party secretary of the development zone's social development bureau, said the demolition plan had not been finalised and it was awaiting a response from the province's Cultural Heritage Bureau.
The bureau told Zhenjiang's city government in 2011 that Ge village should be preserved as a whole in order to maintain its historic style, the Oriental Morning Post reported.
A propaganda official working for the zone's social development bureau, who declined to give his name, said a survey it had conducted found that 90 per cent of villagers supported the demolition plan and some had even petitioned higher levels of government to speed up the project so that they could live in modern flats.
Eighty-year-old Villager Xie Huaichun said he objected to the demolition partly because he did not want to lose his 300-year-old house, and also because the compensation offered by the authorities was too low.
"They offered us 1,000 yuan [HK$1,253] per square metre and that's one-tenth of the price of a high-end apartment in Zhenjiang," he said. "But if they raise the compensation to 7,000 yuan or more, I think I can accept the eviction."
Wang said ancient houses in three villages near Ge village, which had been untouched in 2011, had all been demolished. "I feel heartbroken seeing the fate of those houses," he said. "Local officials are illiterate hooligans."
Three years ago, reports in the mass media that ancient underground grain stores in Zhenjiang were being damaged by a developer forced a halt to the project and resulted in the developer amending its design.
