Artist Kate Durkin and her husband Lenny moved to Sunnyside, Queens from San Francisco a year and a half ago with 10 boxes and no furniture. They chose this apartment because of its open kitchen/dinging room/living area, and they love to put on music, cook and still be hanging out with friends in the living room. Kate creates bright, happy animals pillows (love the whale!) and prints so she was practiced at adding pops of color. An added bonus to moving with 10 boxes? Their lack of stuff means that the apartment always stays neat – this is inspiring me to spring clean! (To see more, don't miss the sneak peek extras on Facebook!) {Thanks, Kate & Lenny!} – Amy A
Image above: My favorite part about the living room is our rug, which was a gift from my parents from ABC carpet. When we first put it down, neither of us liked it. Like all the best things, it got better with time and I really think it ties the room together and makes it cozy. The coach and coffee table are from Room and Board, the painting is by me.
CLICK HERE for more of Kate's Queen's apartment!
Image above: The maps are purchases from the Brooklyn Flea. We liked the horizontal orientation of the map of Italy that hangs over our bed. It splits somewhere around Tuscany and continues down to the boot on the second page. Lenny and I lived and met in Florence, Italy, so it also holds emotional significance. The map of Ireland is significant as Lenny is from Ireland, and it's just a great country all around.
Image above: Cast iron pot given to us by a friend moving back to Italy, has proved very useful. Rolling pin bought on sale at Anthropologie.
Image above: I painted the trees behind the television after we went back and forth about what to put above the tv. The mural turned out to be a great solution. Paint is Behr interior satin "Amber Wave"
Image above: I use the old time radio, a purchase from a vintage store in the neighborhood, every day. I listen to NPR all day while I work, so it was definitely a good purchase. The posters are from concerts that we went to at the Fillmore in San Francisco, where they hand out free posters after every concert.
Image above: Artwork counter-clockwise from the clock: Kate Phillips, unknown tooth, Mel Kadel, John Casey, Eric Rewitzer, and myself.
Image above: The guitar is Lenny's baby, a Martin from the 70's. The shelves are made out of wine boxes, basically because we needed another place to put our books!
that living room is perfection!
Love Kate now love her home!
I love this, it is lovely! I love the pops of colour everywhere!
I especially like the wine boxes as extra shelving for books! Clever idea. A very neat space!
I love that bedroom…it is so simple and serene…I can imagine sleeping very peacefully there! xx meenal
wow…a fun/creative apartment in queens! i live in whitestone and am glad to see our fine borough represented. love the bedroom – the colors are perfection!
Since I don't think I could even fit my shoes into 10 moving boxes, this is very inspiring. As my husband and I are looking to relocate, I needed the reminder that less can be more. Lovely place.
great place! two questions: where'd you get your bed? and where's that little lamp by the phone from?
Love the tree mural. Was it done with a stencil or free hand?
another dream home. Thanks for sharing!
wonderful expression of the homeowner and all the things they love most. ;)
thanks for the lovely comments! to answer the questions, K: the bed is from crate and barrel, and the lamp by the phone is from a shop in the west village called mxyplyzyk. jane: thank you! i did the sketch freehand, and then applied the paint.
I bought a pink owl from Kate years ago and still have it on my bed. I love it! I also have some artwork by John Casey, as Kate does, and highly recommend checking out his stuff too!
I love that rug in the living room. It looks so soft, like a mohair sweater. It is eye catching but still doesn't compete too much with the other things in the room.
And that cast iron pot is awesome – I love cast iron cookwear, it's so durable and cleans up great.
That rug is a dream. I love how the colors bleed and there is not a hard edge.
The bedroom rug! It looks so cozy! Where did it come from?
Loving the Ugly on the couch. Is that Trey?
How about the kitchen shelves with the bar for hooks? I'm looking for shelving options for my first (tiny) apartment!
aw yay i have that same rolling pin!! but in the orange/yellow coloway. so pretty :)
Is that the wooden Ikea desk organizer with the drawers that you see everywhere? I absolutely love how it's been customized. Such an inspiration!
Your home is a most wonderful collection of very thoughtful yet natural vignettes, the kind that seems to develop over time and grew into the house. I still can't believe you sketched the mural freehand! My favorite details are the wall mouldings – did you put them in yourself?
hahaha, i love how when you look quick at the first picture, the bottom of it looks pixelated/blurry because of that colour blended rug!
Just gorgeous! Where is the multi-drawer organiser on your desk from?
hi again! sarah: the rug in the bedroom is from room and board, and is super cozy though a bit hard to clean. ling and sollien, yes they are the ikea drawers, i just added a bit of paint and fabric to brighten them up. karen, the shelves in the dining room with the hooks are from ikea. and lisa, the wall moldings are wonderful details that came with the apartment.
I can't seem to find anything on the artwork above the couch? I was hoping that there was a close up somewhere.
Oh it's gorgeous and inspiring that you moved with so little and still managed to accumulate such nice furniture in a short time – go Ireland.
lisa, here's a link to a closer look at that piece: http://katedurkin.com/artwork/998968_begins_to_form.html
I love this home, so cheery. What I loved the most was the artwork that said"onward". It just looks so happy and inspiring. I might try something like this myself. Thanks Kate!
Just wondering if the TV stand is from Ikea?
Love the place but I wanted to compliment your great listening taste. NPR is the best station & your concert posters are some great music taste!
Love this post! Best thing to me is how the rug and the art play together in the living room!
I've seen Kate at the Brooklyn Flea and tucked her card away (somewhere) in my purse never to be found again. I remember thinking that her adorable pillows would be the cutest baby shower gift– and I just got an invite in the mail today. Thank you for opening your home, Kate! And I'm so glad to be reminded of your wonderful work!
amanda, yes the tv stand is from ikea (it's becoming apparent how much of my stuff is from ikea, haha) thanks again to everyone for your nice comments!
love the whale pillows (where are they from?) and the bed frame!! the rug is a good choice too, i would totally never pick something like it out either but it really works well with the room!
thanks dizzle! you can pick up a whale pillow here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/katedurkin?section_id=7865666

Running into Villa Park High history
Garrett Corcoran initiated his foray into Villa Park High's record book as a freshman, and he hasn't let up since.
Years of school records have fallen before the 17-year-old, all mere casualties of Orange County's premier distance runner.
"He's a cut above any average runner that comes out for cross country or track," said Dave White, the Spartans cross country and track coach. "Immediately, he wanted to know what the school records were.
"He'd point to them and say, 'I'm going to get that record.' Then he'd go out and get it."
Corcoran clocked a county- and lifetime-best mile of 4:10.95 at the Orange County Championships on April 20.
It was a near-six second improvement from his mark a month prior.
The junior also qualified for last weekend's CIF-SS Masters Meet (the crème de la crème of high school track) for the second consecutive year.
"I surprised myself last year," he said. "I didn't think I'd be up there (in the mile) that fast. I thought that by my junior and senior year I'd be up there with the top guys; maybe not top two in the state in the mile, but up there at least."
Corcoran ran track as a freshman.
"Right when he started, ninth-grade track, he immediately went out and set records for the ninth grade," White said. "He had his sights set on setting records, and he was focused on running as fast as he could."
Corcoran, who began running cross country as a sophomore, has flourished in countywide competitions ever since.
"If you're fast, you're fast, there's no competing for playing time," he said. "You're always competing to be the best, and you can tell who's the best because of the times you run."
Brea Olinda High's Austin Tamagno and Canyon High's Austin Goins – Century League foes – have pushed the upperclassman in the 1,600 meters all season.
El Modena High's Sydney Gidabuday edged them all at the CIF-SS Divisional Finals on May 18.
Still, Corcoran embraces the competition, even if it means walking away from track meets empty-handed.
"If there was nobody pushing me, I would never get faster and there would be no point (in racing)," he said. "I may not be winning every race, but I'm running faster every time."
Corcoran has a ceiling-less future full of awards, records and national recognition.
"It would be real nice if we could pull out a CIF team championship in cross country," he said. "I've gone to CIF for cross country twice, and it's not the same going up to the line by myself.
"It'd be real nice to get my team up there with me."
Through it all, the junior remains humbled by his current standing among Orange County's elite runners.
"It's surreal to be able to run this fast," he said. "I never would've thought I'd be this fast in the mile. Somebody told me a few years ago that it comes naturally after you do it once, and then you run faster than you did before. ...
"I'm really grateful that I've been able to do this."

Frequent Flyers, Watch Out for Fees
Passengers looking for a cheaper flight may have to watch out for extra fees on what used to be considered basic amenities. In exchange for lower ticket costs, some airlines are now charging for previously-included food and drinks, specific seat selection, and even carry-on bags.
The Associated Press reported an increase in fee-dependent airlines, after Denver-based Frontier Airlines announced Monday morning that passengers will have to pay extra to place carry-on luggage in the overhead bin and for advanced seating assignments. The new stripped-down cost structure will cut the average price of an economy ticket by nearly 12 percent, according to airline officials.
Frontier Airlines previously added a $1.99 surcharge for soda or water last July and is currently one of three U.S. carriers—alongside Spirit Airlines and Allegiant Air—to charge such fees. The new charges apply to tickets purchased on or after Monday.
Frontier carries 8.4 million passengers a year, about 1 percent of the overall traffic flown by U.S. airlines, reports the Associated Press. Currently, there is no indication that larger carriers like American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines or United Airlines are considering similar fees.
Optional Service fees are listed on Frontier's website. It says the average fee for using the overhead bin ranges from $20 for frequent fliers who book online to $50 for those who pay at the gate. The most common fee is $25 for online check-in and $35 for airport check-in. Personal items that can fit under the seat are free.
Frontier previously charged only those customers who booked tickets through third-party sites like Expedia and Orbitz.
Additionally, seat assignments—even for the dreaded middle seat—now cost an extra $3 for those who buy while booking online and an extra $8 at check-in. If passengers don't pay extra, Frontier will assign them whatever seats are left over.
Frontier will also follow other airlines in charging extra for seats with more legroom or those closer to the front of the plane. The front half of the plane, according to Frontier's website, will cost customers an extra $5 to $15 per flight. Seats with an extra 5 to 7 inches of legroom will also cost more, ranging from $15 to $50 per flight. Connecting passengers would have to pay these fees twice.
Boston passengers flying Spirit Airlines at Logan Airport should check their fees before booking. According to their website, Spirit charges an additional fee for carry-on luggage, starting at $26 for online check-in and going up to $100 for those who pay at the gate. Seat reservations cost around $50 for "average" seats and up to $150 for wider seats with legroom and other features. Snacks and drinks will also cost passengers between $5 and $15 per item.
Frontier's president, Barry L. Biffle, told the Associated Press that they modeled their new fee system after Spirit.

Fed keeps stimulus, says taxes, cuts hurt
WASHINGTON - The Federal Reserve cautioned America's political leaders Wednesday that their policies are hurting the economy.
The Fed stood by its aggressive efforts to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment. But it sent its clearest signal to date that tax increases and spending cuts that kicked in this year are slowing the economy.
The Fed maintained its plan to keep short-term interest rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent.
And it said it will continue to buy $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds.
The bond purchases are intended to keep long-term borrowing costs down and encourage borrowing and spending.
2 reports indicate growth is slowing
U.S. factory activity expanded at a slower pace in April, held back by weaker hiring and less company stockpiling, the Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday.
Separately, a private survey by payroll processor ADP showed U.S. companies added just 119,000 jobs in April, the fewest in seven months.
Pickup truck sales were strong in April
DETROIT - Ford, GM, Chrysler and Nissan all reported double-digit U.S. sales increases last month, signaling the best April for car and truck sales in six years.
A rebound in pickup truck sales led the way, especially for the Detroit automakers. Small businesses are replacing aging trucks that they've kept since the Great Recession.
Ford's sales increased 18 percent, with the F-Series pickup gaining 24 percent. At Chrysler, sales rose 11 percent, led by the Ram pickup, with a 49 percent sales increase. GM also saw an 11 percent sales jump, with Chevrolet Silverado pickup sales rising 28 percent for the month.

English Teacher
I think _____ is more fun to go to the movies with my friends than with my family.
(A) that (B) there (C) which (D) it
I think options B and D are both possible. Am I right?
Sorry - just D (with an optional 'that' before the 'it*').
If you use 'there' (which you can when you're talking generally) you need to use the construction 'there is more fun in <verb>ing...'. For example 'There is more fun in travellling than in reaching your destination.'
PS * Another alternative, interestingly is A with an added 'it'. So A => 'I think that it is...', or D => 'I think that it...' Not that interesting, really. Still...

Saskatchewan Has Excess White-tailed Deer Licenses Available
High numbers of antlerless white-tailed deer in some portions of the province mean that the Ministry of Environment is offering Big Game Management Licences to increase harvest. Antlerless deer are adult females or young animals born in the spring of 2010.
The Big Game Management Licences are available in portions of Wildlife Management Zones 2, 4, 5, 31 and 34. The cost of licences is $19.62 and may be purchased in addition to regular white-tailed deer licences. The Big Game Management Licences are available on a first-come, first-served basis and in some areas there is a bag limit of two deer per licence. Hunters who are interested in purchasing these Big Game Management Licences should contact the Ministry of Environment offices in Swift Current, Shaunavon, Moosomin or Estevan for more details.
Licences are valid during white-tailed deer seasons, including archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons, until December 7, 2010.
As a condition of the licence, and to track the success of the Big Game Management Licence program, hunters are required to report success/non-success to any Ministry of Environment office within one week of the close of the season they hunted in.
Hunters are encouraged to turn in the heads of all adult deer that are harvested with these licences to any Ministry of Environment office to test for Chronic Wasting Disease. There is no charge for the testing.

Look for Old Bay seasoning in the spice section of the supermarket.
Leave a Review
This is a really good recipe. Of course, like many here I tweaked it to suit myself and what I had on hand. I added cayenne and lemon juice like many others. I had sauteed the shrimp with a spicy coating. Being a little short on shrimp I added a bit of small pasta to the mayo mix, and used jarred roasted red peppers. Guess I wandered pretty far from the original recipe, but it got me started and turned out really well. I'd do it again.
This was excellent! I didn't have any peppers so omitted them. I used 1 tsp Old Bay and tasted and thought it was enough. I think 1 1/2 tsp would have been too salty, but I'm not a big salt fan. Will make this a lot over the summer...
Fabulous and so easy to make!! I did add a little cayene and the amount of heat was perfect.
DELICIOUS! My DH literally called it "da bomb," because he is stuck in 1992. I increased the Old Bay by 1/2 tsp and added some cayenne but forgot to add the lemon juice. It didn't matter. It was great anyways! Chilled for 1.5 hours, alternating freezer and fridge, then put this on a sub roll with lettuce and tomato.
This was a hit with my family. I did what everyone else did and added some lemon juice and quite a lot of cayenne. Because my husband thinks it's not a real shrimp salad without avocado, I added that as well. It would also be delicious with chipotle pepper powder to give a slightly smoky flavor, perhaps grilling the shrimp beforehand.
Good standard to have in the recipe box. Like others I added a bit of lemon juice and some cayenne. Also, included 1 cup of macaroni.
So glad I made this! I followed the adjustment of the reviewer below who increased the old bay, added some cayenne and lemon juice, and served it on endive leaves. Huge hit at my New Years day dinner.
My family loves this salad. I serve it on crusty rolls for a special treat on our long trip up to our Maine cottage. It's a special way to begin our vacation. Sometimes I substitute lobster for the shrimp. Yum!
I love this recipe. I've made it for my family as a quick lunch on our trip to a summer cottage in Maine for years now. It's like the beginning of special things to come. Sometimes I replace the shrimp with lobster. Color, tasty and a special treat, who could ask for more????
Similar to other reviewers, I thought this recipe was a very good start, but added a few squeezes of lemon juice, a couple dashes of tabasco and substituted some leftover corn for the celery. Definitely let the salad set up in the fridge for half a day or more. I think this one is great in a lettuce leaf wrap or endives, but also does well as a sort of burrito if you add a little cilantro, wrap it up in a warm flour tortilla and lightly fry with some olive oil.

Free Film Screening
Presented by Shawn Carey of Migration Productions and Photography Instructor
Photographing birds and wildlife has become increasingly popular over the last ten years with vast improvements in digital technology. Challenges may include such questions as where do you photograph birds, when do you photograph them and how do you photograph birds?
Shawn Carey will lead a photography discussion on these topics as well as the equipment needed (camera, computer and software) and tricks of the trade. To illustrate this, he will look at several location in New England and beyond. All of this along with some interesting stories and lots of give and take with the audience should provide for a lively gathering.
This workshop is divided into three sections and there will be a half-hour lunch break – please bring a bag lunch.
- Section #1: Photo equipment; cameras, lenses, tripods, photo blinds and other "odds and ends".
- Section #2: Location, location, location! Where and when you photograph birds in New England and what equipment is needed at each site. Plus some other locations in the US that you might want to visit.
- Section #3: The Digital Darkroom, you have taken some digital photos, what do you do with them now? What computer software is recommended and how to store your digital photos safely.
Shawn's photos have been published in the Boston Globe, New York Times, Mass Audubon Sanctuary magazine, Science magazine, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary magazine and many others over the last 15+ years.
Shawn (Migration Productions) has been presenting programs to birding organizations and at birding events since 1994. (Mass Audubon, ABA, Manomet, HMANA, Eastern Mass Hawk Watch, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and many local bird and camera clubs).

#1 Woman Pushes Stranger In Front Of NYC Subway Train...12-28-2012, 09:28 PM
A madwoman last night pushed a stranger onto subway tracks in Queens, where he was killed by a train, police and witnesses said.
It was the second such nightmare in less than a month.
The unsuspecting victim was waiting at the elevated 40th Street station of the 7 line in Sunnyside at 8 p.m.

Something needs to be done about these assault trains, they are killing people!Pffffffffffffffffffffff! Buh Bye Big Ears
Obviously, the problem is that these trains travel too fast in station.
All metro trains across America should be speed-governed to 5mph while entering and exiting the platform area.
After all, who's going to argue convenience and timeliness in the face of a true safety concern?

12-29-2012, 09:56 PMTrains do not kill people. Hate does.
No, if that assault train was not there he would not have been killed, the temptation is just too much having all these subway trains around where anyone can just push somebody in front of them. If we would get rid of these trains and make them illegal the temptation for poor sick vengeful people such as herself would not exist. this man would have gone home to his family had it not been for this murderous train!

Frequency of alcohol consumption and cardiovascular risk factors
Critique 096: Frequency of alcohol consumption and cardiovascular risk factors: implications for drinking guidelines 20 November 2012
Read the full critique here: http://www.bu.edu/alcohol-forum/critique-096-frequency-of-alcohol-consumption-and-cardiovascular-risk-factors-implications-for-drinking-guidelines-20-november-2012/
The purpose of this paper was to examine whether drinkers who consume lower-risk amounts on more frequent occasions have favourable risk factor profiles compared with those who drink more per occasion but less frequently. The authors also discuss implications for the larger debate about the limitations of non-randomized studies about 'moderate' drinking and the development of low-risk drinking guidelines. As stated by the authors, "many observational studies suggest that increased drinking frequency is associated with reduced mortality among those with low-dose alcohol consumption." Indeed, previous epidemiologic research has clearly shown that the healthiest outcomes occur among regular, moderate drinkers who do not binge drink. Further, almost all studies have adjusted for a large number of socio-economic factors that are known to be potentially confounding factors for evaluating the association of alcohol consumption with health outcomes.
As expected, the present study shows that regular drinkers tend to consume less alcohol per occasion, and are less likely to binge drink. Further, such individuals tend to have better socio-economic status and lower levels of most cardiovascular risk factors. Most previous researchers have interpreted the better educational status and economic levels of moderate drinkers to be important causes of their more moderate lifestyle factors (including avoiding abusive drinking). Further, most previous research, including many basic science interventions and limited trials in humans, have shown that the administration (intake) of moderate amounts of an alcoholic beverage leads to more favourable cardiovascular risk factors, and numerous mechanisms have been identified (higher HDL-cholesterol, improved vascular reactivity, improved platelet and other coagulation factors, etc.).
The authors of this paper take an unusual turn when it comes to discussing the implications of their results. They tend to down-play any potential health benefits that may be caused by alcohol or the pattern of drinking and infer instead that the favourable risk factors themselves may lead to the drinking pattern. Forum members disagreed with the implications of the authors on a number of factors: (1) the lack of randomized trials of low-dose alcohol consumption; (2) levels of evidence; (3) drinking frequency and alcohol intake; (4) clustering of lifestyle behaviours; (5) alcohol consumption and CVD-related biomarkers; (6) alcohol intake, cancer and total mortality. Further, Forum reviewers cite a large body of scientific research that refutes some of the conclusions of the authors, which imply that regular moderate alcohol intake does not relate to improved cardiovascular risk factors.
Forum reviewers agree with a concluding statement of the authors about using caution before recommending drinking to the general public. However, they believe that the arguments presented in this paper are not based on a balanced appraisal of available scientific data, and should not be used to support changes in guidelines for the public.

Steamboat Springs Jenna Peters was just about as shocked as Linnea Dixson.
The two 2011 Steamboat Springs High School graduates weren't expecting anything when they heard their names called.
But the two were voted co-Steamboat Springs High School Female Athletes of the Year. Jack Burger was voted the Male Athlete of the Year.
"I had no idea they had that award," Dixson said. "It's really cool to know I was one of the top athletes in our school."
"I was really surprised," Peters said. "They do the athlete thing last, and I hadn't heard my name. I thought they mistakenly invited me to the awards."
The award is determined on a point system that includes a plethora of categories. It looks at GPA, athletes who compete in multiple sports, individual and team awards they've received, character and volunteerism.
"It really looks at the athlete as a student athlete," Steamboat Athletic Director Luke DeWolfe said.
Dixson, who finished second in the state skiing Skimeister, will attend the University of Wyoming next year. There she plans to compete for the Nordic ski and biking teams.
Peters, who was a captain of the volleyball team and played soccer, is attending the University of Portland for nursing. She said she doesn't plan to play sports, but might do intramurals.
"It means a lot for me to get that," Peters said. "I've put a lot of work into sports and education."
Burger did a little bit of everything his senior season. In the fall he ran cross-country and played tennis. He was a Nordic skier in the winter, before closing out his high school career as a distance runner on the track and field team.
"It's a pretty cool award," Burger said. "It's a good accomplishment for me. I was glad I got it."
Burger will attend Colorado College next year. He plans to run cross-country in the fall and play tennis in the spring.

Travel news/2005
ContentsDecember 2005
Goodbye, Routemaster8 October 2005. This Thursday London will see the withdrawal of its iconic double-decker buses from their last remaining route. The aged vehicle will be replaced by more user-friendly buses. 16 Routemasters, however, will be restored to their full 1960s glory and keep running on two heritage routes through the center of the capital. [1] Indian Airline changes name to "Indian"7 December 2005 India's public sector domestic airline "Indian Airlines" has gone in for a rebranding exercise and changed its name to "Indian". It will also get a new logo and will buy new planes for the first time in 15 years [2]. Cold wave in North India7 December 2005 The northern states of India are experiencing a cold wave [3]. This cold weather is rather unexpected at this time of the month. It usually gets cold towards end-december. It snowed in Srinagar(Kashmir) - 4 ft - last week. Situation under control in Madras7 December 2005 The media had exagerated that three fourths of the city is under water. Only the low lying and lake-adjacent areas were flooded. However, the current situation is stable. Rails have started plying and the airport is also back to normalcy. They even played 2 days of the India-SriLanka Cricket match yesterday and the day-before-yesterday. Flooding in Madras (Chennai)4 December 2005 Cyclone "Baaz" has affected [4] Madras badly. Three fourths of the city is under water. 300,000 people have been affected, with 75,000 reportedly evacuated. More rains have been forecast on SUnday night. The water has entered the railway station and the airport. Travel is likely to be disrupted for the next few days. Some parts of the state of Tamil Nadu are still affected. If you are planning to travel around TamilNadu, it would be advisable to ask local authorities before doing so. US Air travel rules revised1 December 2005 The Indianapolis Star (among others) is reporting the US Transportation Safety administration is making some of the most sweeping changes in travel security since the agency came into existence in late 2001. It appears that nail clippers may once again be allowed on flights. UK Rail Travel Disruption expected for Christmas1 December 2005 The Times Online is reporting that rail travel in the South of England will be severely disrupted during work which is to commence 26 December, 2005 and which will continue for several weeks into the new year. November 2005Bombings hit Amman, Jordan hotels9 November 2005 At least three bombs exploded in the hotel district of Amman, Jordan in an attack that appears to have targeted US-based hotels chains. Currently, 53 deaths and several hundred injuries have been reported. The targeted hotels include Grand Hyatt Hotel, Radisson SAS Hotel, and the Days Inn Hotel. Streets are closed and the city is under a "security lockdown" as of Wednesday night. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
France declares state of emergency8 November 2005 France declared a 12-day state of emergency in an attempt to calm nightly rioting that began in the suburbs of Paris and has quickly spread to suburban housing projects (estates) in the rest of the country. The United States state department has issued an alert but unless you intend to visit large public housing facilities after dark it is unlikely you'll see or hear anything. September 2005Unrest in Indonesia10 October 2005 In Indonesia, a 126% fuel price on October 1st has caused rapid increases in transportation and goods prices across the archipelago. Violent protest demonstrations have, however, so far been notably absent. 29 September 2005 In Indonesia, a fuel price increase scheduled for October 1st has sparked hoarding, shortages and numerous public demonstrations. Public transportation has also been disrupted. Fuel shortages currently affect the entire country, including Bali. Strategic points in large cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya have heavy police and security presence. Steer clear of demonstrations, as they have the potential to turn violent and police may also use heavy-handed methods to clear them. However, a repeat of the 1997 mayhem that led to the downfall of Suharno's regime is unlikely, as the Indonesian economy is generally considered to be in better shape. Hong Kong Disneyland opens12 September 2005 Hong Kong's Disneyland, the first in China, has opened to the public. Tickets start from HK$295, but have been sold out for the first days. The park is located on the island of Lantau, a 20-minute train ride from the city center or airport. July 2005Spring is in the air19 July 2005 China's first low-cost carrier, Spring Airlines, has completed its maiden flight between Shanghai and Yantai. Prices start from Y200, a quarter of rivals' fares, and a revolution in Chinese flight pricing seems set to follow. 800-820-6222 Explosions in the London Underground5 August 2005 Full service is now running on all lines. 18 July 2005 Transport in London is slowly returning to normal after the bombings, but the entire Circle Line and sections of some other lines remain closed. Bus services operate to replace most closed sections. Up-to-date information for line closings and network status is available on the Transport for London site. 7 July 2005 Four nearly simultaneous explosions rocked central London's transport network at the height of the morning commuter rush hour in what appears to have been a well-planned terrorist attack, presumably made to coincide with the G8 Summit at the Gleneagles Resort in Perthshire, Scotland. A group connected to al-Qaida have claimed responsibility for the atrocities. Thirty-seven people have been killed and hundreds more have been injured, several critically [5]. Transportation systems throughout London were shut down or disabled in reponse to the incidents. The Underground is closed for the day, and may remain closed longer. Rail service in and out of London is interrupted, and the bus service is also disabled in the Central Zone 1. By evening, many - though not all - services were beginning to return to relative normality. British Transport Police have a number for calls from family concerned about victims: +44 20 8358 0101. People outside the UK should contact their local British embassy or consulate. Currency revaluation in Romania1 July 2005 Romania has introduced the new leu (RON) at an exchange rate of 10000 old lei to one new leu. Old banknotes and coins remain legal tender until the end of 2006. Further information June 2005Historic Paris department store closed "for reasons of safety"28 June 2005' The historic Samaritaine department store, occupying the same building in the 1st arrondissement of Paris since 1901 closed today "for reasons of safety" according to an announcement by LVMH Paris, the company which owns the store. The store will be closed for at least 6 year for study and renovation. Some activists have raised the suspicion that the company plans to replace the store with a hotel; LVMH denies this, and has significantly promised "no layoffs at all" will result from the closing. Civil unrest in Bolivia10 June 2005 Protests in the Bolivian capital La Paz have abated after president Carlos Mesa stepped down and the situation is returning to normal. Travellers are still advised to exercise caution. 8 June 2005 The Bolivian capital La Paz has been crippled by protests against the government, including a transport strike, food shortages and a blockade of the road to the international airport. Most flights have been cancelled and travellers are advised to steer clear. Further information: US State Department travel advisory for Bolivia May 2005Cheap flights in India24 May 2005 Spice Jet has joined India's fast-growing discount airline market. There are now three operators in the country, offering fares starting from Rs 99. April 2005Wynn Las Vegas opens28 April 2005 Wynn Las Vegas, at $2.7 billion the most expensive resort ever built, has opened in Las Vegas. The casino-resort features a private golf course, an artificial mountain with a 5-story waterfall and a million-gallon water tank for the nightly show. Needless to say, there's also over 100,000 square feet of casino space. Room rates start at $250. Egypt to re-open tombs of Thutmose III, Merenptah16 April 2005 Egyptian Minister of Culture Farouq Hosni announced he will today re-open the tombs of Thutmose III and Merneptah in the Valley of the Kings after their 6 month closure for restoration. Zahi Hawwas, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said the tombs of Ramesses III and Ramesses VI, meanwhile, will be closed for regular rejuvenation work. Acela Express suspended27 April 2005 The service suspension is now expected to continue until "sometime in summer". [6] 15 April 2005 Amtrak's Acela Express service between Washington, New York and Boston has been suspended until further notice while cracks in brake rotors are investigated. Additional Regional and Metroliner services are running instead. Services are planned to resume on April 23 at the earliest. March 2005Expo 2005 opens25 March 2005 Aichi Expo 2005, held near Nagoya, Japan, has opened. The $3-billion 121-country extravaganza with the theme "Nature's Wisdom", featuring robots, frozen mammoths and much more, will run until September 25. Tickets cost ¥4500 per day at the door and 15 million visitors are expected. February 2005Chubu International Airport opens17 February 2005 Chubu International Airport, Japan's third major international gateway, has opened near Nagoya. Also known as Centrair, the 24-hour airport is on an artificial island 30 minutes south from the center of town and opens on time to serve Expo 2005, kicking off in March. The new airport replaces the existing Nagoya airport and also takes over its IATA code NGO. Tropical cyclone strikes Cook Islands6 February 2005 Cook Islands emergency center officials expressed relief today that damage from Tropical Cylone Meena, a category 5 storm, was less severe than anticipated after the eye of the storm bypassed the main island of Rarotonga. Over the previous 2 days, as the storm made its way through the island group, flights to and from both Rarotonga and the outlying islands had been suspended, planes put under cover or flown out of the area and tourist resorts evacuated in the face of forecasts of 270 km/h wind gusts and 10 metre storm surges. Although flights resumed only 15 hours after the storm passed to the east, there was significant local flooding caused by 15 m high waves. Iconic store Trader Jacks was inundated by the sea as were other parts of Avarua town and northern Rarotonga coast. Although the cleanup is expected to take several weeks, damage was nowhere near as severe as that caused by Cyclone Heta to Niue in January 2004. State of emergency declared in NepalOn Feb 1st 2005, King Gyanendra of Nepal dismissed the government and declared a state of emergency. Kathmandu airport is open and internet and phone lines are operating as usual (after a temporary suspension). There has been no violence in the capital, but the future remains uncertain. Foreign tourists are not a target in this internal dispute, and have continuously been welcomed by all sides. However, the situation could deteriorate, and so it is recommended to check news reports and government travel advisories before traveling to the kingdom. If you do decide to travel in Nepal and wish to avoid possible trouble spots, the Everest (Khumbu) region is no doubt the place least likely to be effected. January 2005Egypt announces price rises for tourist entry to monuments21 January 2005 Reports from Egypt reveal that the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities has raised all ticket prices for tourist admission to the country's vast array of ancient and medieval monuments. Above-inflation price hikes, effective immediately, range between 40% to 175%, with the average increase standing around 75% - the largest increase was applied to the Valley of the Kings, with tickets allowing entry to three tombs each leaping from LE (Egyptian Pounds) 20 to LE 55 (175%). The list below (not exhaustive) displays both the previous prices and the increased prices for Egypt's primary monuments and sites, arranged from north to south:
Dendera (12) 20
Esna (8) 15 Edfu (20) 35 Kom Ombo (10) 20
Abu Simbel (30) 50 Turkey introduces new currency1 January 2005 Turkey has introduced the New Turkish lira [code TRY] [7] as a replacement currency for the old Turkish lira - the new currency is marked YTL (Yeni Türk Lirası) is equivalent to 1 million of the old, allowing quoted prices to be slashed by six zeros "x,000,000" or six decimal places. The hugely inflated figures were the result of escalating inflation in the Turkish economy during the 1980s and 1990s, and were the basis for any number of tourist scams - not least the handing back of short change, owing to tourists' carelessness and / or confusion over the zeros. The old currency will be valid until the end of the year (2005), allowing frequent travellers opportunity to exchange old notes. Conversion rates on 1 January 2005:
Giza Pyramid of Khafre re-opens to the public1 January 2005 As of the New Year, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities has announced that the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), the second largest pyramid on the Giza plateau, has now re-opened to the public on a permanent basis after nearly two years of renovation and conservation. Under the system of rotation, the smallest Giza pyramid, that of Menkaure, will now close to the public for a similar program of cleaning and conservation. |

I'm interested in switching over to the electrostatic side of things.
But I dont know too much about that area.
I've been researching as much as I can but there is so much information and terminology and model variations that its throwing me off from becoming informed.
I currently own a pair of sr325is which I love. But I want something different. I've also read that Stax headphones ( electrostatic in general? ) are better suited for classical and ambient styles of music, which is what I'm interested in.
I have a couple of questions;
1. What is a good beginner electrostatic system for no more than $500?
2. I'm not too sure how the technical side of things work, but would I have to hook up any part of the system to speakers in order for it to work? ( I read some were someone doing something like this... headphones or adapter/driver needed to be hooked up to speakers in order to listen) I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS. I just want to be able to simply listen to them using my computer, or using my D4 Mamba DAC.
3. If I buy a electrostatic system from a vendor that's located outside of North America, lets say Japan, do I have to request they give me an adapter/driver powered for North American standards?
I have found this system "Stax SR-5 Earspeaker and a Stax srd-6 Adaptor" for $200. Is it worth it?
Should I buy something from here instead;
I dont know what to do ! Help me out.

Being Strategic vs Being Opportunistic
When approaching a problem or a challenge there are two main approaches you can take: being strategic and being opportunistic.
Being strategic means thinking through all sides of the problem. Looking at what people have tried, what's worked, what hasn't. Considering the context of the problem and how this context evolves over time. Mapping out a plan, executing on it and taking the time to measure your progress against metrics you've established. Strategic is Billy Beane and the Oakland A's.
Being opportunistic means taking things as they come. Looking at what makes sense right here, right now. Jumping right into the thick of things and figuring it out as you go along. Exploring interesting connections, poking your nose into strange places and smashing stuff together to see what happens, always angling toward a particular, but vaguely defined, direction. Opportunistic is the story of Todd, Ben Folds Five and Improv Everywhere.
Each approach has it's trade-offs:
- Thoroughness vs Speed.
- Protected downside vs Unlimited upside
- Steady progress vs Rollercoaster ride.
There's no right or wrong approach. But you ought to recognize that there's a difference and try to make the decision a deliberate one.
How do YOU approach your problems? Are you strategic or opportunistic? Tell me in the comments!

"warning: may be too much for some" This is an understatement!!!!
I feel absolutely heart broken. Not for you, but for the horrible pain your poor puppy went through during her final days. She died from neglect, plain and simple. You didnt make just one poor choice, you made many. She died a horrible death, screamed out in pain several times and you chose to take advice from a person who didnt have a freaking clue instead of taking her into a vet that could have saved her life and spared her from DAYS of pain and agony. Rest in peace sweet Ella. I am so very sorry that you were not given basic medical attention

How sad. That poor little girl. My heart goes out to her. I can't imagine what she went through. I'm sorry I have to agree with "too many dogs" she needed to get to a vet way before she got to the state she was in. And I honestly couldn't even finish reading your post. I'm sure you're upset but it's terrible your dog suffered the way she did. If you didn't have the money to help her you should of at least put her out of her misery. Your friend from the shelter should have known white gums is serious and I don't get the honey thing. I've had ill dogs and my vet or emergency vet has always said if their gums go white to get them back. I don't understand how it wasn't insisted that your dog get treatment. I am really sickened by this story.

I am so so so sorry for your loss. Your story has me in tears right now. I don't even know what to say to help you because there is nothing anyone can say that can take this pain away. I lost my dog 6 years ago and I miss her each and every day. And I almost lost my current fur baby last year due to a massive spinal stroke. The feeling like someone has crushed your heart and you now feel so empty and alone. But know you are never alone. You have all of us here on the forum to support you. Stay strong and Ella knows her mommy loves her so deeply. And she's pain free now. You'll see her again one day. Feel free to message me any time!

I am sorry for your loss, Ella sounded like a wonderful little fur baby.
Always remember the happy times. I know and understand what you are feeling, I know you did try your best to save your little girl. I lost my little fur baby girl Laila, just a few weeks ago. I too was beating myself up as well as the vets who misdiagnosed her. I did find comfort here on this site, as the people here really do understand, and are the best. Please don't beat yourself up or anyone else, as accidents do happen and it is possible that she could have ingesting the poison through a dead rat the same way DDT was killing bald eagle before they banned it, basically the eagles were poisoned up the food chain, Farmer sprays for bugs, bugs eat poison, rodents eat bugs and plants and eagles eat rodents. It sounds like what happened here. Know your Ella is resting in peace, this was just her time. I pray for you and your family. God bless you in your time of mourning. |

Excuse me? HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!! I pray for your heartless soul. I did NOT neglect my dog. I didnt sleep at all. I gave her round the clock care!!! Im a single mom of 3 very young babies. I did what I could to try and save her life. If you dont like it, go somewhere else! I didnt come here to be bashed. You are a horrible person to bash someone who is grieving such a loss.

I took the advice of 2 vets and a vet tech who worked in an animal shelter for decades. I'm sorry. But the way 2manydogs said it was completely heartless and I am disgusted ppl like that exist! So I couldnt afford hundreds of dollars.... The local vet would NOT see her to put her down. Sorry you couldnt finish the post but maybe you should. I lost a family member. You know I have lost a child due to early childbirth. He was deemed by advanced medical professionals to be a vegetable and on life support throughout his entire life and my ex husband and I had to decide to take him off life support after fighting for 3 months. SO I guess now I'm a murderer? She was my baby. I did what I could with what info I had from PROFESSIONALS. Sorry if you or anyone else doesnt like it. But I cry a lot because of her passing. I came here to get it out and grieve. So sad people cant just allow someone to do that. I thought the pitbull people were bad but now Ive seen worse. At least you werent as completely disrespectful as the other poster.

Notre Dame Summer Conference Offers Business Training To Catholic Leaders
For 10 days this summer, leaders of Catholic organizations nationwide will gather at the University of Notre Dame for a program aimed at adding hard business skills to support their missions of service and faith. The leaders include those in Dr. David Suley's service area, which includes 88 of some of the poorest, geographically dispersed dioceses in places such as Alaska, Montana, Puerto Rico and New Mexico. Suley, the director of Catholic Home Missions Appeal for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), says the priests are pressed to adequately cover the area, and the laity has limited training in either theology or leadership. Tight budgets and few development opportunities add further strain.

I have a question for you guys.
How do you feel about the saying "the way to a mens heart is through his stomache"? Is it still valid these days? I mean, in the past guys were dependant on women to cook for them and even though I am sure pretty much everybody would enjoy a good cooking these days, its not like guys depend on women for food anymore. Is it a big plus for you, if a girl can cook well? (I love to cook btw). Last edited by warita; 2012-02-21 at 14:47. |

Underweight Food Hoarder
If you love eating delicious food then yes. To me I'm kind of like a -meh-. So being able to cook well is not an outstanding attractive trait. I also have male friends who are super addicted to cooking and won't eat anyone's cooking except their own. I think it varies. I also have married friends who eat out every meal and are fine with it. ><"
I can cook, but my ex-gf couldn't; and I thought it was kind of cute. Well except the time she did try to cook and almost murdered me. Good thing I went to the kitchen with her. She put weeks-old spoiled raw meat that had obvious signs of decay and didn't notice it at all. If that had botulism and I wasn't there, I may have died. However a girlfriend who has no interest in cooking and doesn't cook even if it's a necessity, IS a big turn-off. I personally like to cook with someone. I have very short attention span in the kitchen and need someone to be there. Of course being a good cook is always a bonus than not being one. Quote:

I can cook just fine myself (I don't do it often because of the time commitment), so it doesn't really wow me if a girl is also capable of cooking well. Honestly, cooking is something everyone should be able to do, rather than something that should be praised. The way to my heart is through a good personality, and the ability to cook is just a bonus.
But that doesn't mean I'd push a girl (or a guy) out of my kitchen if she wanted to make me some delicious food!

Not being able to cook (or having no intention to learn) would normally dissapoint me. Especially as I'm pretty into cooking, nutrition (the science) and health. It's not got much to do with the traditional vision of a woman being able to cook a good meal for her man, just that cooking is a skill you'd expect an independent person to have.

After a long day I am often quite hungry and it is annoying when there is nothing in the fridge and I just cannot be bothered to cook a meal! So yes, it would be very nice to have someone who could cook a nice meal and not only that, have someone to chat with while having my meal. Eating while having dinner is a great way to catch up, too bad I don't do it nearly enough!
Is it a way into my heart? It certainly helps especially if I am ill and really need something good like a lemon tea to make me feel better. At the end of the day it is the little things here and there that make the big difference. |

I'm anticipating a traditional marriage where I work and my wife stays home and takes care of the family (and my girlfriend has indicated she expects that too). If I come home after a long day and have to make dinner for everyone on top of that, I'm going to be a little bummed.

But I think I have been misunderstood a little. I didnt mean to say, that the love should stem from dependance on the woman, because she knows how to cook while the guy cant. In fact, I established the fact that this is no longer the case in the modern day and age. I was rather interested in finding out, how important a good cooking skills is to guys? Does a girl appeal to you more when she knows how to cook? Do you consider it romantic to get a meal served that was cooked with love? That kind of thing... |

I'm not really sure that there ever was any truth to that statement. Even if a woman is able to cook really wonderful food, it's not like a man will re-evaluate his feelings about her purely because of her cooking. He may want to eat more of her food, and it may further improve the man's opinion of the woman, but he won't be smitten over her purely because of something tasty.
Of course it matters. While it may not matter as much for couples that take on traditional gender roles, my wife and I are both busy people. When I'm too busy, she handles the cooking; when she's too busy, I handle it. We take that approach to other household chores, as well. It's a team effort, as a relationship should be. If my wife were unable to cook, then we'd likely try to specialize who does what chores a bit more, but it would be a bit more difficult on me. Having two people who are both capable of doing all tasks makes resource allocation and task accomplishment much easier.

Need help desperately for mermail & atlantean deck
Started By TheSocietyReject, Dec 19 2012 07:14 PM
7 replies to this topic
Posted 19 December 2012 - 07:14 PM
Hi, I'm a noob trying to build a mermail/atlantean deck, and it's hard. This deck is a bad deck, and it needs help desperately. Could you please give me some advice about creating a good mermail deck? And you are free to bash on the deck & me as much as you like.
3 dragoons
2 heavy infantry
2 marksman
1 deep sea diva
2 mermail abyssgunde
1 mermail abysshinde
2 abysslinde
2 abyssmegalo
3 abysspike
1 moulinglacia
2 poseidra
1 abyss-scale of cetus
1 abyss-scale of kraken
2 call of the atlantean
1 dark hole
1 heavy storm
1 lemuria
1 monster reborn
2 mst
2 salvage
1 Abyss-scorn
2 abyss-sphere
2 bottomless trap hole
2 dark bribe
2 mirror force
2 dimensional prison
Posted 19 December 2012 - 08:39 PM
And you are free to bash on the deck & me as much as you like.
Thanks, you made my day.
This is quite honestly atrocious.
List of issues (not conclusive):
Only one Deep Sea Diva.
Only 2 Abyssphere.
Call of the Atlanteans is actually used at all.
Lemuria - pointless.
Dark Bribe - what?
A general lack of understanding of how the deck works.
First point you should learn:
Abyssphere + Deep Sea Diva = 8000 damage.
Abyssphere in opponent's turn, summon Abysslinde, destroys itself in end phase. Abysslinde summons Megaloabyss. Your turn, summon Deep Sea Diva. Diva summons Sniper, tribute Diva for Megaloabyss, Sniper attacks, summons Dragoons, total damage is 8000.
This is why you play 3 Abyssphere and you play 3 Deep Sea Diva, unless you are good enough with the deck that you have a better method.
You must take out:
Dark Bribe, Lemuria, Call of the Atlanteans, Abysscales (both), Abysscorn, Poseidra. Abysshilde, Dimensional Prison, and either Bottomless Trap Hole or Mirror Force (you don't need both - you could actually remove both if you want to).
After you do this you can either play Atlantean Mermail or Genex Atlantean Mermail. I've put below the two different builds you can make. When I say below to use Tragoedia as another option but not Gorz, this is because you have a lot of cards in hand, and also you can search Megaloabyss, so Tragoedia can do the Gorz steal (I will assume you don't know what this is, so it's in the spoiler box):
Atlantean Mermail:
Or, if you want to play Genex Atlantean Mermail:
One last thing - if that is your real side deck in the image that is very poor. If you need a side deck I can give you a rough draft of cards you should be playing there.

Why, is Bahamut Shark not TCG? I just assumed that OP was okay with OCG cards.
Never mind, just googled it. Abyss Dweller is definitely an option especially for a quick OTK. Good point.

Detailed Description:
The Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (NVOG) has developed a guideline programme on Subfertility, including 9 guidelines concerning diagnosis and treatment of subfertility and a national IVF protocol.
However, guidelines in general do not implement themselves; large gaps consists between best evidence (as described in the guidelines) and practice, resulting in a large variation between professionals.
Our study will compare an innovative patient-directed strategy with a (minimal intervention) control strategy, and effectiveness, costs and feasibility of both will be assessed. We eventually aim at the most cost-effective strategy to implement the existing subfertility guideline programme.
Please Note: In our protocol, we consider only 'couples' undergoing fertility treatment; therefore, we aim at gathering information from approximately 5200 records, of both male and female participants. When reporting eventually on their treatment, we will consider them only as couples, resulting in reported numbers of approximately 2600 participating couples.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- each patient, male or female, visiting the OPD for a subfertility related problem or treatment
- each patient admitted to the hospital with complications of an infertility treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
- patients receiving insemination with donor sperm
- patients receiving ICSI treatment
- patients who are non-Dutch speaking or understand too little Dutch to fill out the questionnaires

Unintentionally, I often find myself craving and serving certain foods during certain seasons of the year. Case in point: almost every September and October I find myself craving pumpkin muffins. Perhaps it is the subliminal message I receive from the pumpkin/Halloween decorations and store merchandise that crops up this time each year, or maybe I am a creature of habit; but for me, autumn baking is perfect for these pumpkin muffins.
If you notice, there is no added fat in this recipe. Save for the eggs (try using egg whites if you really want a fat-free muffin), these muffins are virtually fat free. This is a tried-and-true recipe that I've altered a bit over the years to incorporate whole wheat flour and less sugar, but if you only have all-purpose flour in your kitchen, by all means, use it.
These muffins are some of the moistest, most delicious muffins around, despite being super-duper healthful. Try out a batch and see if you find yourself making them each autumn too!
Autumn Pumpkin Muffins
1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
3 eggs
1 – 15 oz can of pureed plain pumpkin
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
½ cup walnuts (optional)
¾ cup raisins (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground cloves (if using).
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, pumpkin, and applesauce, until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to make a smooth batter.
Stir the raisins and walnuts (if using) into the batter. Spoon batter into greased muffin cups.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
These muffins are a favorite after-school treat of R's, I hope your kids love them too!
Makes about 2 dozen muffins.
Life is sweet,

RICHMOND, VA - The Harrisburg Senators (77-65) claimed the Western Division title with a, 1-0, win over the Richmond Flying Squirrels (70-72) in front of 6,362 at The Diamond on Monday afternoon. The Squirrels finished the season averaging 6,688 fans per opening. That was 367 more than the next closest Eastern League club, the Reading Fightin Phils. The average eclipses the previous franchise record, which was 6,679, established in 2011. The Squirrels last led the league in attendance during their inaugural season in 2010. Reading had led the circuit each of the last two years.
Neither starting pitcher factored in the decision. Richmond lefty Ryan Bradley turned in five scoreless innings, allowing just five hits. He walked two and struck out five. Harrisburg right-hander Rob Gilliam didn't allow a run over 4 2/3 innings. He conceded just two hits, walked four and struck out six.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Three people were killed and one seriously injured in a spree of gunfire at the Jewish Museum in Brussels on Saturday, officials said. Police detained one suspect who was at the scene and are looking for a second.
The attack, which came on the eve of national and European Parliament elections, led officials to immediately raise anti-terror measures.
Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders, who was in the vicinity, said the scene "was terrible and left me shocked" as he saw two of the three dead lying at the entrance of the museum, located in the swanky Sablon neighborhood.
Reynders added that "you cannot help to think that when we see a Jewish museum, you think of an anti-Semitic act. But the investigation will have to show the causes."
Interior Minister Joelle Milquet told reporters that the shooter apparently parked a car outside before entering the Jewish Museum. She added the gunman "apparently fired rather quickly, went outside and left."
The three dead were two women and a man, and they were hit by bullets in the throat and face, said Ine Van Wymersch, spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office. No further details were given.
Van Wymersch said one suspect was detained after he drove away from the museum around the time of the attack. A second person suspected of being implicated apparently walked away from the scene.
Milquet said anti-terror measures were immediately heightened. "We decided to apply to a maximum level of protection to Jewish sites," she said.
Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo expressed support for the Jewish community.
"All Belgians are united," he said.
European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor said that, even though it has yet to be established whether the attack was anti-Semitic, "we are acutely aware of the permanent threat to Jewish targets in Belgium and across the whole of Europe."
"European government must send out a clear message of zero tolerance toward any manifestation of anti-Semitism," Kantor said in a statement.
The mid-afternoon attack occurred in the fashionable Sablon area, which was hosting a three-day jazz festival and is usually clogged with tourists and shoppers on weekends. It consists of some cobblestoned streets with numerous antique shops, trendy cafes and museums, including the Jewish Museum.
Police cordoned off several streets around the museum with blue-and-white police tape, and numerous ambulances and police vans were at the scene.
Viviane Teitelbaum, a member of the Brussels legislature, said anti-Semitic attacks reached a peak in the early 1980s but had dropped off before a recent rise in anti-Jewish sentiment.
"It has been a very difficult place to live" for Jews, she said, adding that many young people are leaving the country. She added some 40,000 Jews live in Belgium, half of whom reside in Brussels.
In France, President Francois Hollande condemned the "horrifying killings with the greatest force." In a statement, he expressed France's solidarity with neighboring Belgium and condolences to the families of victims.
