Considered one of the most distinguished chamber orchestras in the world, the English Chamber Orchestra was formed in 1948 by Arnold Goldsborough for the purpose of performing Baroque music. Similar in musical philosophy and organization to the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, the ensemble is financially self-supporting and has no permanent home venue. The orchestra presents an annual concert series in London and also tours internationally. Over its history, the ensemble has expanded its repertoire to include a wide range of chamber music from various musical periods and is flexible in size, ranging from 24 to 38 musicians. Originally named the Goldsborough Orchestra, the ensemble changed its name to the English Chamber Orchestra (ECO) in 1960 in accordance with the needs of the group's growing reputation. At the same time, The English Chamber Orchestra and Music Society was formed as the promotion arm of the organization. Like many other chamber orchestras, the ECO employs no full-time musicians but hires its players on a contract basis. This allows the orchestra to be flexible in size and structure according to the needs of its repertoire and concert venues and also gives the musicians the opportunity to work in a variety of other situations. The freedom this provides is key to the fresh approach this orchestra takes in its performances through its use of a system of co-principal groupings of players. Under this system, two principal players share each chair and are contracted to play a set number of performances in a given season. The ECO has performed for numerous important occasions including a command performance before Queen Elizabeth II at the Queen Elizabeth Hall inaugural concert in 1967. Other performances of note are the first color television recording of music for the BBC and the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana of Wales in 1981. Until 1985, the orchestra chose to work without a principal conductor instead inviting a series of talented guest artists to lead the ensemble. The ECO has a reputation for giving young conductors important opportunities. Among those who have benefited from this policy are Sir Colin Davis, Daniel Barenboim and Pinchas Zukerman. During the orchestra's Silver Anniversary celebration in 1985, it was announced that Jeffery Tate had been chosen to fill the newly created position of principal conductor, and in 2000 he was succeeded by Ralf Gothóni. As of the 2009-2010 season, Paul Watkins has served as music director, and Roy Goodman has been the orchestra's principle guest conductor. Tremendously versatile and musically polished, the English Chamber Orchestra is fully deserving of its reputation as one of the finest chamber orchestras in the world. ~ Corie Stanton Root

So it begins. Giorgio Armani Easy Chic Fall 2012 collection comes out this month at Holt Renfrew, and this is an incredible little collection that you don't want to miss out on. This is one brand that continues to impress me, and I hope you'll see why. 😉 Read on to see a few stunning items from the collection.
Rouge d'Armani in 408 Rosewood Red and Neo Classic Face & Eye Palette in Neo Black
The Neo Classic Face & Eye Palette in Neo Black ($95) contains two tiers of powders: a browned peach blush, and a trio of eyeshadows in shimmery champagne, gold-flecked khaki taupe, and a matte black.
Neo Classic Face & Eye Palette in Neo Black — bottom tier
Neo Classic Face & Eye Palette in Neo Black — top tier
The eyeshadows are a new formula; very different from the previous eyeshadow palettes from Giorgio Armani. They have much better pigmentation and glide, and don't have any fallout issues. Don't let the black eyeshadow swatch fool you. The shade is deep and smooth on the eyes. The face powder is sheer and has the most beautiful glow. Like the eyeshadows, it applies smoothly. It barely shows up on my skin tone (beautiful on fair skin like Beautezine, though), so it is perfect to balance a smokey eye. There is also a Neo Brown palette available; it is also gorgeous, as seen on Makeup Magpie.

Rouge d'Armani in 408 Rosewood Red
Limited edition shades of my favourite lipstick formula evarrr make me nervous. Rouge d'Armani in 408 Rosewood Red ($38) is a deep blue red that has autumn written all over it. From my previous review: the formula is absolutely phenomenal. It is super creamy, saturated and melts on to the lips without any dragging. I recommend a liner to keep it from slipping around on the lips too much. Also available in 526 Purpleheart (plum) and 111 Vintage Pine (beige).
A beauty PSA: not pictured, but do not miss the Waterproof Eye Pencil in 1 Granite Black ($29). I bought mine from the Spring 2011 collection and it is my favourite black eyeliner pencil. Very waterproof, very black, and I can wear it on my waterline for a long time. You need it. It is also available in 2 Earthen Brown.
Waterproof Eye Pencil in 1 Granite Black and Rouge d'Armani in 408 Rosewood Red — swatches
Check out this post for a very special face of the day (Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises!) featuring the products in this collection. I am so excited about this one, you guys! But first, let me know what you think of the collection. Do you love, or do you love? 😉

According to The Drudge Report, Kelly — who is currently on maternity leave from her daytime show, "America Live" — will be announced in the news network's coveted spot later this month. "It's all about Megyn," said an insider quotes in the report. "She is the new face of cable news. She has it all!"
The fact that FOX News wanted to move Kelly to prime-time has been out there since early July. At the time, the network's CEO, Roger Ailes, praised Kelly by saying, "Megyn is an exceptional talent who has successfully filed and surpassed each role we have given her at the network."
Piers Morgan, Megyn Kelly's competitor-to-be over on CNN, didn't seem too worried when he sent a "welcome" message on Thursday (Aug. 8).
"Bring it on @megynkelly"
The prime-time hour is definitely going to be busy with punditry soon.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida judge says he's "extremely skeptical" about changing the state's congressional districts before the 2014 elections.
Circuit Judge Terry Lewis held a three-hour hearing Thursday to consider what to do after he ruled that current districts are illegal because they were drawn to benefit the Republican Party.
Lewis said he will try to have a final ruling by the end of next week. But he signaled he is unlikely to go along with the groups that sued the Florida Legislature that want the districts changed now. They argued Lewis has the authority to postpone the Aug. 26 primary so that the changes can be made.
But attorneys for the Florida Legislature dispute that. State officials said it would create problems to move election dates.

Hutchinson Center-led research has identified two proteins in the blood that could become important prognostic markers for long-term survival in breast-cancer patients. The proteins are associated with chronic inflammation, which is known to contribute to cancer development and progression.
Dr. Cornelia Ulrich and colleagues measured the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in 734 breast-cancer patients at 31 months after diagnosis. They found that elevated levels of CRP and SAA are associated with reduced overall survival, regardless of patient age, tumor stage, race and body mass index. For example, women with breast cancer who had SAA levels that were in the highest third in amount measured in their blood were three times more likely to die from their disease within the following seven years compared to patients with the lowest-third amount. Similarly, women in the highest third of CRP levels had a two-fold increased risk of death.
"These associations are strong and they suggest that, in the long-term, elevated levels of inflammatory markers predict a woman's chances of surviving after breast cancer," said Ulrich, of the Cancer Prevention Program in the Public Health Sciences Division. "It also appears that there may be a threshold effect in that only women in the highest third of inflammation markers had increased mortality."
The study appears in the May 18 edition of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
"To our knowledge, this is the largest population-based cohort study to date that examined the relationship between systemic inflammation and breast-cancer survival, and the first to evaluate SAA as a prognostic marker for breast cancer," Ulrich said.
CRP and SAA are nonspecific, acute-phase hepatic proteins that are secreted into the circulating blood stream in response to cytokines including interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor.
Patient data was drawn from the Health, Eating, Activity and Lifestyle (HEAL) study, a multi-ethnic National Institutes of H-funded prospective group of women diagnosed with stage 0 through stage 3a breast cancer.
In previous studies, elevated CRP was associated with poor survival in patients with metastatic prostate cancer as well as those with gastroesophogeal, colorectal, inoperable small-cell lung and pancreatic cancers. Preoperative levels of SAA have been associated with survival of patients with gastric cancer and those with renal cell carcinoma.
Likewise, clinical and experimental data suggest that chronic inflammation promotes mammary tumor development. Breast-cancer patients have elevated concentrations of CRP before surgery; more so in women with advanced disease, which suggests that CRP may be related to tumor burden or progression.
Cancer survivors with chronic inflammation may have an elevated risk of recurrence as a result of the effects of inflammatory processes on cell growth or the presence of cancer cells that induce inflammation, according to the study.
"It is interesting that markers measured in the blood nearly three years after diagnosis predicted prognosis," Ulrich said. "We also found these associations to hold up after adjusting for a number of factors that associate with systemic inflammation, such as obesity. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to get more precise estimates of risk. We also need to learn more about the biologic mechanisms."
Ulrich was joined in this study by researchers from the University of Washington, the National Cancer Institute, City of Hope National Medical Center, University of Southern California and the University of Louisville.
The National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, University of New Mexico, University of Chicago and the California Department of Health provided funding for the study.

Assange Backs Bulgarian Journalists in Exposing PM's Criminal Past
The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has confirmed that the US diplomatic cables about the alleged criminal past of Bulgarian Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, leaked through the whistle-blowing site, are fully authentic.
Assange spoke via Skype during the European Parliament's seminar focusing on corruption practices in Member States, which was held Wednesday evening. The seminar was organized by MEPs from the Special Committee on Organized Crime, Corruption and Money Laundering (CRIM).
From the Embassy of Ecuador in London, where he is hiding to avoid extradition, Assange stressed the leaked cables can be used as evidence in Court, but people still don't know how they can do it.
The event was the first time ever when words about Borisov's past were spoken inside EP walls. There, Bulgaria was strongly criticized for wide-spread corruption practices. Bulgarian MEPs were also present.
The presentation on Bulgaria was delivered by Bulgarian journalists Atanas Tchobanov and Assen Yordanov, founders of the site for investigative journalism Bivol.bg, which is also the official partner of WikiLeaks for Bulgaria, and by human rights activist, Petar Penchev, from the Association for Free Speech Anna Politkovskaya.
Tchobanov's report was titled "Borisov and the Our Son of a Bitch Doctrine" as an allusion to the supposed remark of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) from 1939: "Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch."
"Bulgaria is ruled by mobsters," Tchobanov said, in citing a "Foreign Affairs" publication where Bulgaria was presented as a mafia State for the intertwining of corruption and politics.
The journalist noted that there are witnesses of Borisov's criminal past and evidence such as him being one of the owners in the 90s of the 20th century of a factory for contraband cigarettes. The wiretaps of phone conversations between the PM and the Customs Chief where the first is heard exerting pressure on the second to stop a Customs probe in a brewery were also mentioned.
Tchobanov stressed that in addition to the US cables, several warnings about the current PM's past criminal activities have come from abroad, such as US journalist and top intelligence expert, Jeff Stein's 2007 publication in Congressional Quarterly about Borisov's shady past, or the more recent one in the Berlin-based Tageszeitung, insisting US secret diplomatic cables are based on information from the CIA, and mentioning the cables' reporting on the PM's involvement in criminal activities in the past.
"We submitted all this documentation and information to CRIM, but the hearing failed for political reasons," Tchobanov stated before a very quiet EP audience.
In June, Bivol attempted to attract the attention of CRIM, but on September 24 the MEPs declined holding a hearing on Borisov on grounds they lacked resources to investigate such claims. The Petitions Committee has been informed as well and is yet to make a statement.
Tchobanov further spoke about the report of Transparency International, released on the same day, ranking Bulgaria only behind Greece in the list of the most corrupt EU Member States. He explained that the judicial system of the country is in deplorable state as well.
Giovanni Kessler, Director General of the EU's Anti-Fraud Office OLAF, also focused on Bulgaria, reminding of the notorious and recently flopped for good trial for the draining of millions from SAPARD and the very different outcome in Germany. He gave it as an example of "corruption without boundaries," stressing on the need of a European "answer," such as an EU prosecutor, not just national ones, in such high-profile corruption cases.
From the MEPs, speaking at the forum, only Bulgarian Slavi Binev addressed issues in Bulgaria, backing Kessler's words and declaring Borisov was establishing dictatorship in the country.
- » Donald Tusk To Visit Bulgaria in April
- » Bulgaria's Govt Approves Position for EU Summit Meeting in Rome
- » EP Adopts Resolution on Bulgarians in Albania
- » Expenses for Bulgaria's EU Presidency To Exceed BGN 50 M for 2017
- » EU To Send Experts to Sofia To Help With Presidency Organisation
- » Bulgaria's Deputy PM: No Nominations for EU Commissioner under Discussion
Quote from the article: "...declaring Borisov was establishing dictatorship in the country.".
When Obama says "If I was a Bulgarian, I'd wote for Uncle B.", he's not just being polite.
John Beyrle was a lame pu$$y with limited insight. Recent intelligence probably confirms, that Uncle B is the best.
Furthermore, Uncle B doesn't even need a haircut.

Rufus needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 176 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
Streetpark, llc, is a NYC based company about to launch a website that will fundamentally change the way New Yorkers use cars. Our application is in the last stages of development with an anticipated launch date of 11/25. The majority of our users will likely be affluent, 25-49 year old people who live in and around NYC.
We are targeting people who have cars (or people who drive) in and around NYC. Initially we will concentrate on three neighborhoods--Upper West, Park Slope (Bklyn), and a downtown neighborhood. We hope to expand to more of the city by the end of next year, and have plans to launch in other cities as well. We expect most of our users to be fairly web savvy people, many of whom use social networking sites and other internet resources regularly. Many, if not most, will also likely be smart phone users (which our site is designed to take advantage of).
The website address--Streetparknyc.com--should be prominently featured, and the logo should reflect the urban nature of the service (ideally it will not be specific to NYC, although it should work well for a company that at launch will offer its services only in NYC). The service will be exclusively used by people who drive cars in the city, so that should be reflected in the design. There does not necessarily need to be a realistic representation of a car, but a logo that reflects the difficulty of parking in the city and the fact that our service will make this task much easier is desirable. We are offering a completely novel service and the logo might therefore reflect the innovative, original nature of our service.

Colour of Home
by Mary Hoffman, illustrated by Karin Littlewood
(Frances Lincoln)
Hassan has recently arrived in the UK from Somalia and despite the best
efforts of his teacher and classmates, he finds his first day at school
overwhelmingly alien. When his teacher gives him paper and paints, Hassan
creates a picture glowing with the colours of his family home. But then
his work takes on other colours and features – those of destruction
and death.
The next day, helped by an interpreter, Hassan uses his painting
to share with his teacher, something of the harrowing events leading up
to his arrival in the UK. He tells of his sadness at the loss of so much
that was dear to him – his cat, his Uncle Ahmed, his family home
and his belongings, and of the ordeal he and his parents underwent on
the long journey from war-torn Somalia. But, thereafter, Hassan begins
to see a little brightness in his new 'home'.
For me at least, this powerfully moving tale (one that I know
from experience is all too true for a good number of children in our schools)
is all the more poignant in big book format. One hopes that it will help
to bring a measure of empathy and understanding to all children and adults
in UK schools. A 'must have' big book.

Saddle Club gets council support for riding arena
The Selkirk Saddle Club got support in principle from city council on Dec. 11 for their plans to build an 18-metre by 36-metre riding arena at the club grounds just south of the Illecillewaet River.
Club secretary Tanya Secord told council they've raised $42,000 so far and are seeking out additional grants for the project. "We've got four more fundraisers set up between now and the end of January and we're hoping to be over $50,000 by then, so we're not sitting back [and] waiting, we're definitely working hard to get this happening," she said.
The indoor building will allow more riding opportunities in the winter when snow makes it difficult and slippery to get around on four hooves. In addition, high reservoir levels in the summer limit riding options from the stable area, Secord said.
She said the facility would have several added benefits. It will allow for more children to get involved with riding in the safer environment. It will enable a therapeutic riding program for disabled children, which would be helped by the ability to schedule rides rain or shine.
The club also plans to rent out the facility for other uses, giving examples such as dog obedience classes or search and rescue training as examples.
The club has already completed engineering plans and got building approvals for the concept from the city and landlords BC Hydro. They hope to source most materials locally.

Well, today I thought I would submit a lesson on a specific subculture that I used to be a part of. Everyone knows about the tutorial I did on the cartoon emo character I drew, and I also have some other tutorials on emo characters that I created in the past. Today, I will be teaching you guys "how to draw Gothic", step by step. Even though we are all familiar with this word, have you ever thought about when and where it was originated? First off, it all started in the United Kingdom back in the eighties being a rub off of the punk genre. We started to see some simplified examples of the goth subculture with bands like "The Cure", and from movies with a lot of vampires like Dracula. Soon enough fashion started becoming more and more important and cultural with the goth genre. Chained pants from brand names like Tripp, and shirts with fishnet sleeves and arm socks where some of the fashion trends if you are or where part of the Gothic crowd. Dark eye lined make-up is also something that is very common with individuals, and sometimes one will add a white tone to their normal skin color to add a more intensifying look. Performers like Marilyn Manson also maintains a Gothic sense of style as he displays in his all of his videos, and in music. Dark black hair, dark eyes, and dark clothes, this is some of the traits that one would be equipped with, and as you can tell, it is all very similar to the emo subculture. For individuals that fall in the emo category, they are more sensitive, a bit more creative, and they are more reserved then a Gothic individual. This is why they say that emo is short for "emotional" because they truly are. I had a friend a while ago that was severely traumatized from something that happened to her when she was young. Of course I never tried to prey into her life, I just let her take baby steps until she opened up to me. When this happened, I knew she trusted me. It is very hard for an adolescent who is emo to trust people. Anyway, I think you guys will like this tutorial that shows you "how to draw Gothic". I tried to have fun with the character, and if you can't tell, she is holding a Gothic cross rosary in her hands. That's about it, I will be back later with more drawing fun. Enjoy folks!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest!

League President, Mayor Timothy C. McDonough of Hope hosted hundreds of New Jersey mayors and municipal governing body members in Trenton on Wednesday, January 14, for the League's 17th Annual Mayors' Legislative Day. The local leaders converged on Trenton to hear from the Governor and key Legislators on the state's priorities for 2009 and beyond.
At the request of League President and Hope Mayor Tim McDonough, Governor Corzine picked up on the themes of his State of the State message, which he gave the day before. The Governor also took the opportunity to address issues of particular concern to municipalities.
Specifically, with regards to COAH, he encouraged local officials to work with the agency on plan review. He reiterated his intention to promote a one-year moratorium on the commercial development fee. But he did not connect the impact of the fee reduction to an elimination of the portion of each municipality's obligation attributable to commercial development.
With regards to the pension payment deferral proposal, there appears to be little room for compromise. The interest rate to be applied to repayments of deferrals, and to future payments of those who choose to forego the deferral, have not been specified and are, consequently, a cause for concern.
Concerning municipal property tax relief funding cuts, the Governor indicated that we should expect such reductions, but he was not prepared to indicate the magnitude of the cuts nor the manner in which they would be apportioned among municipalities.
Several state legislators also shared their perspectives on the issues we are facing. Senate Majority Leader Steve Sweeney, Minority Leader Tom Kean, Community and Urban Affairs Chair Ron Rice and Budget and Appropriations Committee Member Phil Haines were joined by Assembly Minority Leader Alex DeCroce and Budget Committee Chair Lou Greenwald on the panel moderated by NJN News Anchor and veteran State House Reporter Jim Hooker. League Officers and Mayors Bob Bowser, Jim Anzaldi and Gary Passanante provided the local perspective.
Finally, municipal elected officials were recognized and formally inducted into the League's Elected Officials' Hall of Fame.
The League created the Elected Officials Hall of Fame to recognize the tremendous contributions of the many governing body members who have selflessly served their communities for 20 years or more.
There are currently 348 inductees in the Elected Officials Hall of Fame. To view the full list, visit the League's web site at www.njslom.org/hallelec_cover.html. To nominate an official, contact League Assistant Executive Director Michael Darcy at 609-695-3481, ext. 116.

Migraine Management10/31/2008 |
I have been getting migraines since I was around 11. I am now in my mid forties. I am finding that suddenly nothing seems to work. I have tried all the different Triptan variations. The one that has always worked best is plain Imitrex. But lately it just takes the headache away for a few hours and it comes right back. I do take an anti-depressant and an anti-epileptic for prophylaxis but those aren't working either. As a woman, is this just a rough time in a migraine sufferers life? I feel like my whole life revolves around my headaches and getting as much done as I can between them.
It would be great to have more details about her headache, location, how many hours the attack lasts, how many attacks a week, a month, what other prophylactic medications have you taken, did you receive any injections, do you have any cervical problems? We have so many new innovations to help patients manage their headache. Please do not hesitate to contact me again with the details.

Bargaining with a Bureaucrat
We consider a bargaining problem where one of the players, the bureaucrat, has the power to dictate any outcome in a given set. The other players, the agents, negotiate with him which outcome to be dictated. In return, the agents transfer some part of their payoffs to the bureaucrat. We state five axioms and characterize the solutions which satisfy these axioms on a class of problems which includes as a subset all submodular bargaining problems. Every solution is characterized by a number a in the unit interval. Each agent in every bargaining problem obtains a weighted average of his individually rational level and his marginal contribution to the set of all players, where the weights are a and 1 - a , respectively. The bureaucrat obtains the remaing surplus. The solution when a = 1/2 is the nucleolus of a naturally related game in characteristic form.

Let me introduce to you a class (made in C#, of course) that will help you to perform all necessary System Registry operations, such as retrieving and setting Registry keys and values.
So, what class can my do? My clsRegistry has 10 useful methods that provide you with an easy-to-understand interface to the C# built-in Registry functions. All Registry functions in C# are implemented inside the Microsoft.Win32 namespace, so when you are going to work with the System Registry, do not forget to include the "using Microsoft.Win32;" declaration to your project ... or simply use the clsRegistry class.
using Microsoft.Win32;
The class methods are:
Retrieves the specified String value. Returns a System.String object.
Retrieves the specified DWORD value. Returns a System.Int32 object. *
Retrieves the specified Binary value. Returns a System.Byte[] object.
Sets/creates the specified String value.
Sets/creates the specified DWORD value. *
Sets/creates the specified Binary value.
Creates a new subkey or opens an existing subkey.
Deletes a subkey and any child subkeys recursively.
Deletes the specified value from this (current) key.
Retrieves the type of the specified Registry value.
* Normally, when you are creating a DWORD Registry value, it should be an Unsigned 32-bit integer value (or System.UInt32 or simply uint) with the range from 0 to 4,294,967,295. BUT!!! The Microsotf.Win32.RegistryKey.SetValue() method forces it to be a Signed 32-bit integer (or System.Int32 or simply int) with the range from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. If you try to assign a value that is bigger than 2,147,483,647 then the String value is created. So, brothers, PLEASE, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL here to avoid the unwished consequences!!!
I do not know yet if this is a bug or some kind of a new convention.
Create a New Application using the Console Application template and call it "RegClassTest". Actually, the type of Application doesn't matter in our case; Console Application is just my preference. It might be a Windows Application or whatever - you choose. Now (just for your own comfort) you may copy the clsRegistry.cs file to your project's folder. Then go to the "Project" menu and click on the "Add Existing Item..." or simply press ALT+SHIFT+A to open the Add Item Dialog. Find the clsRegistry.cs file, select it and click "Open". Check out the Solution Explorer window: our file should be added to the project.
Once you added clsRegistry.cs to your project, double-click it to edit the code. Now replace the following line...
namespace RegistryClass
... with this one:
namespace RegClassTest
Here, instead of "RegClassTest" you will type the namespace' name of your project.
Now save your project and pass to your project's main class and open the code window. In order to start using our clsRegistry class, we must create a new instance of the class. It is done this way:
//don't forget about Microsoft.Win32 namespace //if you are going to use the C# Registry functions using Microsoft.Win32; static void Main(string[] args) { clsRegistry reg = new clsRegistry(); //create new instance of clsRegistry class ... }
IMPORTANT: The functions don't return error codes. For this purpose, the strRegError variable is provided. This variable always contains the error message of the last operation performed, or null if no error occurred. I would advise you to check for errors every time you use clsRegistry's functions. How to invoke a class function and how to check for errors is showed in the example below:
static void Main(string[] args) { clsRegistry reg = new clsRegistry(); //create new instance of clsRegistry class /*========= WORKING WITH STRING VALUES =========*/ Console.WriteLine ("/*========= WORKING WITH STRING VALUES =========*/"); // Set string value Console.WriteLine ("SET"); reg.SetStringValue ( Registry.LocalMachine, "SOFTWARE\\RegClassTest", "myStringValue", "Mama, I've just set a string value :-)" ); if (reg.strRegError == null) Console.WriteLine ("\"myStringValue\" has been successfully set"); else Console.WriteLine ( "Error: " + reg.strRegError ); // Get string value Console.WriteLine ("GET"); string strValue = reg.GetStringValue ( Registry.LocalMachine, "SOFTWARE\\RegClassTest", "myStringValue" ); if (reg.strRegError == null) Console.WriteLine ("myStringValue = \"{0}\"", strValue); else Console.WriteLine ( "Error: " + reg.strRegError ); Console.WriteLine ("\npress return to exit"); Console.ReadLine (); }
If you insert the code above and Run the project, you'll have the following output:
I've prepared a full sample for you - a sample project that shows how to retrieve and set String, DWORD and Binary values, how to get the value's type, how to create new values and how to delete Registry values and keys.
After executing the full sample, you should get the following output:
I have been looking for a class that deals with Registry for a long time. But I found nothing (even on MSDN). So I wrote the clsRegistry. This is something like the first try. I hope you'll help me to expand and improve it. Your suggestions are welcome as always.

source: masslive.com WASHINGTON — More than 3 million health insurance policyholders and thousands of employers will share $1.3 billion in rebates this year, thanks to President Barack Obama's health care law, a nonpartisan research group said Thursday. The rebates should average $127 for the people who get them, and Democrats are hoping they'll send an election-year message that Obama's much-criticized health care overhaul is starting to pay dividends for consumers. Critics of the law call that wishful thinking. The law requires insurance companies to spend at least 80 percent of the premiums they collect on medical care and quality improvement or return the difference to consumers and employers. Although many large employer plans already meet that standard, it's the first time the government has imposed such a requirement on the entire health insurance industry. "This is one of the most tangible benefits of the health reform law that consumers will have seen to date," said Larry Levitt, an expert on private insurance with the Kaiser Family Foundation, which analyzed industry filings with state health insurance commissioners to produce its report. Kaiser is a nonpartisan information clearinghouse on the nation's health care system. Still, health insurance is expensive, and $127 may not even pay a month's worth of premiums for single coverage. And the insurance industry says consumers should take little comfort from the rebates because premiums are likely to go up overall as a result of new benefits and other requirements of the law. "The net of all the requirements will be an increase in costs for consumers," said Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for America's Health Insurance Plans, the main industry trade group. "Given that health care costs are inherently unpredictable, it's not surprising that some plans will be paying rebates to policyholders in certain markets," Zirkelbach added. But the Kaiser report said the rebate requirement may be acting as a brake on the industry, discouraging insurers from seeking big premium increases to avoid having to issue refunds later and face possible criticism. The new law has "provided an incentive for insurers to seek lower premium increases than they would have otherwise," the report said. "This 'sentinel' effect on premiums has likely produced more savings for consumers and employers than the rebates themselves." The study found the largest rebates will go to consumers and employers in Texas ($186 million) and Florida ($149 million), where Govs. Rick Perry and Rick Scott have been among the staunchest opponents of the federal law. Both states applied for waivers from the 80 percent requirement and were turned down. Hawaii is the only state in which insurers are not expected to issue a rebate. Here's how the rebates break down nationally: More than 3 million individual policyholders will reap rebates of $426 million, averaging $127 apiece. These are consumers who are not covered through an employer and buy their policy directly. Consumers in Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Arizona are most likely to be eligible. Insurance companies must notify policyholders, and the rebates are due by Aug. 1. Some companies have already begun to pay. In the small-employer market, plans covering nearly 5 million people will receive rebates totaling $377 million. Employers do not have to pass their rebates on to workers, and can also take them as a discount on next year's premiums. Insurers serving large employers face a stiffer requirement. Under the law, they must spend 85 percent of premiums on medical costs. The study found that 125 plans covering 7.5 million people at large employers will give back a total of $541 million. Most plans operated by major national employers are exempt from the requirement. The biggest companies usually set aside money to cover most of their workers' medical expenses. Typically they hire an insurer to administer their plan, but they do not buy full coverage from the insurer. Separately, a Goldman Sachs report estimated insurers would pay rebates of $1.2 billion. Among major insurers, UnitedHealth would pay $307 million, Aetna $177 million, WellPoint $94 million and Coventry $50 million. Supporters of the requirement say it will keep insures from padding their profits at the expense of unsuspecting consumers. "Millions are benefiting because health insurance companies are spending less money on executive salaries and administrative costs and more on patient care," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., a leading advocate of the rebate provision. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the report shows how Obama's law is "already strengthening the health care system for millions of Americans." Like everything else about the overhaul, the future of the rebates depends on whether the Supreme Court upholds the law in a decision expected by early summer. Seventeen states applied for waivers from the 80 percent standard, producing evidence that it would destabilize their private health insurance markets. Federal regulators granted adjustments to seven states, usually meeting each state's request part way. Data from the nation's most populous state, California, were not ready and thus were not included. Final statistics on the rebates will be issued by the federal government in early summer.
Interesting. Another benefit of the health care law and we're still waiting for that "take over" and the "death panels".
Healthcare Reform Disinformation The ACA will actually be a huge tax break for the middle class. If you are working for a company with >50 employees that doesn't provide, by law they are mandated to cover you. Law takes effect, you are getting a huge $5000-$11,000 benefit in your pocket. It is the mandate on business to provide healthcare coverage that is a tax break. <50 companies will also feel the heat to cover employees since they will now be a small minority, especially now the employees have to buy coverage. For businesses already covering employees, the medical loss ratio cap that you are talking about will push prices down. There will also be more competition in the market. Many companies such as auto-manufacturers will see their premiums drop tremendously. Tax or Penalty? How about a Tax Cut... Damn over 50% of the uninsured work for large companies that will now have coverage mandated from their employer.
Re: Healthcare Reform Disinformation Liberal Media, Conservative Media They are both Corporate Media.... http://money.cnn.com/2012/07/13/smallbusiness/health-care-employer/index.htm That's the reality for the 425 workers at David Barr's nearly two dozen KFCs and Taco Bells across Alabama and Georgia. Barr has already done the math. He currently provides health care for managerial staff only, and it costs him about $125,000 to cover the 30 who take it. Extending that to every full-timer would cost him another $545,782 a year. Health reform's creation of state insurance exchanges promises to bring down those costs, but Barr said any expenses even close to that will still outmatch his available cash. "This business model isn't meant to support those costs," he said. To minimize expenses, he'll fire workers and cut hours to reduce the number of full-timers to 60. Then he'll opt for the penalty instead of paying insurance. A $60,000 fine pales in comparison to the huge potential rise in health care costs. Cashiers would be replaced by self-order kiosks, cooks with chicken breading machines. These options are too expensive now, he said, but they would make sense then. But killing off jobs will also violate one of Barr's guiding principles. "We have a responsibility to provide a good position that allows people a sense of pride in their work," Barr said. "And I'd rather provide that for many than provide health care for few. They keep running these stories about tax or penalty, and how the ACA will costs jobs. I haven't seen a story about the millions of people that will be covered and provided a huge benefit/tax cut.
Health Law Costs, Benefits Can Add Up To A Win For Young And Old If there are winners under the Affordable Care Act, Martha Olson and Red Coine should probably both be counted on that list. Yet only one of them will actually pay less for health insurance when the law is fully implemented in 2014. To make insurance more available to people who are older or have pre-existing conditions and can't always find affordable, comprehensive coverage, like Olson, the law pushes younger, healthier people like Coine -- who is currently uninsured -- to buy insurance and offset the system's costs. The individual mandate that nearly all Americans obtain health care coverage or pay a penalty is aimed at people like Coine. As a result, Olson, who is 56 and has diabetes and high blood pressure, likely will pay less money every month for her health insurance. Coine, 32, may pay more than he would in today's market. But both Olson and Coine will be able to comparison shop for plans on the health insurance exchanges. Both will be protected against insurer discrimination based on health status or gender, and neither will be booted off a plan if he or she gets sick. The law will ensure that health plans provide comprehensive benefits, something not guaranteed today. Moreover, Olson and Coine, who both earn moderate incomes, will be eligible for tax credits that will defray the cost of their insurance premiums and may qualify for additional assistance for their out-of-pocket expenses. And both will have those out-of-pocket expenses capped. Coine, a self-employed long-distance truck driver who lives in Dallas, doesn't mind the individual mandate and said the debate over health care reform has aroused in him a sense of "personal responsibility" to be part of the system. "I feel compelled to pay for my own way. I don't want someone else to pick up my tab if something happens," he said. And given the law's promise of richer benefits, Coine said he expects he'll be getting more for his money than he did when he last had health insurance in 2008. Forcing younger people to help cover the costs of older individuals' health care is "controversial," especially since younger people generally earn less, said Paul Ginsburg, president of the Center for Studying Health System Change in Washington. But while people like Coine may have to pay more when they're young and healthy, the law also guarantees they'll be able to find coverage when they grow older or become sick or injured. What's more, Ginsburg said, even if Coine's premiums are higher, he and Olson are both likely to receive better benefits with the cheapest plan under health care reform than they could today. "They're getting better coverage. That's worth something," he said. Olson, a rental-property owner in Knoxville, Tenn., will see more of the advantages right away. The Affordable Care Act doesn't allow health insurers to raise prices for those with previous ailments or chronic illnesses, set higher premiums for women than for men, or charge older people more than three times the price for younger people. "With the new plans, you're going to get a certain level of protection," Olson said. People who don't obtain health benefits at work will be able to buy plans on the exchanges, and those like Olson and Coine who earn between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level -- between $11,170 and $44,680 for an individual this year -- will be eligible for tax credits. People who can't find a plan for less than 8 percent of their income are among those exempt from the individual mandate. The law sets four tiers of health insurance: a bare-bones catastrophic plan, for people who are under 30 or exempt from the individual mandate, and three tiers dubbed "bronze," "silver," and "gold," which get progressively more expensive and more generous. Those who earn up to 133 percent of the poverty level will be eligible for Medicaid in states that opt to expand the program. A "calculator" created by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation in Menlo Park, Calif., provides estimates on much a silver plan will cost, considering factors such as income and age. A gold plan would cost 15 to 20 percent more and a bronze plan would cost 15 to 20 percent less, said Larry Levitt, executive director of the Kaiser Initiative on Health Reform and Private Insurance, a project run by the foundation. Olson currently has subsidized health benefits through the law's Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, which cost her $425 a month. She used to shell out $700 a month for a plan she described as "crappy" because it didn't cover health care she needed. In 2014, she expects to earn about $35,000, based on her current income. Under the new system, her total premiums for a silver health plan will be $9,685, and her share after the tax credit will come to $3,325, or about $277 a month. By comparison, the average annual premium for job-based health insurance is $11,664, of which a worker pays $2,764, according to a recent survey. Olson is concerned that she could be forced to pay the full cost if her income rises above 400 percent of poverty. At the same time, she noted that her old insurance would cost at least as much without offering guaranteed coverage and a minimum set of benefits. Coine has been without health insurance for four years. He expects to make about $28,000 in 2014, so a silver plan would cost him $3,382, of which he'd pay $2,189, or about $182 a month. That's more than the $88 a month he paid for his old health plan and more than the $155 price he found when shopping for health insurance last month. It's also higher than the individual mandate penalty, which will start at $95 or 1 percent of income for a single person in 2014, gradually increase until it reaches $695 or 2.5 percent of income in 2016, and then rise with inflation. But Coine noted that the $182 a month "probably would cover more" than a plan he could buy on the individual market today. "Since I will be required to buy it, I will instead of paying the penalty," Coine said, "because one way or the other, I'm paying something extra and would rather get something for my money."

It is well known that creatures that flutter through the night are drawn to lights and flames. In this poem I'm trying to express why the fairy seeks out the flame. But also why he doesn't fly away when he noticed that the flame is too hot for him.
Ok, I know poems doesn't have to rhyme. ^_^ But I really like to rhyme. Besides, how often do you actually sit down and force yourself to come up with words that rhyme with -ight?
The first part of a series I'm writing. In this first part we meet two witches who's in a bit of a jam at the moment and are trying to figure out how to solve the situation. Comments and above all critisism are very much welcome.

Reforms to urban renewal could come this year
Some Idaho lawmakers are looking to put new limits on urban renewal districts, which are special taxing areas that divert some property tax dollars from traditional areas such as schools and local government to fund development and business projects.
Several lawmakers got a dose about the potential problems of urban renewal at a presentation by Randall O'Toole with the Cato Institute that was sponsored by the Idaho Freedom Foundation. O'Toole said he doesn't think urban renewal is necessary and can harm cities efforts to grow.
Any city or county in Idaho has the power to start an urban renewal district. There are 65 in Idaho, by O'Toole's count. The district chooses land it considers a blight or underdeveloped. It then figures out the property tax value of the land and caps that amount to go to traditional taxing districts. Any added property taxes in subsequent years then go to the urban renewal district in an effort to develop that land. Usually districts get bonds for those future tax collections to start improvement projects.
Urban renewal districts don't directly lead to property tax hikes, but as the districts develop and require more local government services, such as schools or police protection, the burden to pay for those costs is shifted to property outside the urban renewal district.
O'Toole said across Idaho, urban renewal districts bring in $50 million a year for development and that much of that money is going into the pockets of developers. He singled out Post Falls in north Idaho, which has six urban renewal districts that make up 30 percent of the city's land.
"It's clear they're just creating districts all over the place, and developers are saying 'we're not going to develop unless you give us a new district and give us more subsidies,'" O'Toole said. "Although urban renewal is supposed to be good for the economic growth of the city, it actually does more harm for the city."
The Post Falls Urban Renewal Agency says on its website that it has created nearly 3,000 jobs thanks to its funding, which has improved the city's infrastructure. In a short marketing video funded by the agency, several business leaders praise the urban renewal system.
"The urban renewal district in the state of Idaho is the best tool that we've had to try to develop all commercial ground," Bruce Cyr, property manager of Riverbend Commerce Park, says in the video.
Some lawmakers say the power of urban renewal needs to be curbed. "There appears to be some momentum to make some changes," said Rep. Vito Barbieri, R-Dalton Gardens, who attended O'Toole's presentation and said he's still learning about urban renewal.
"It was music to my ears to find out it was bothering other people besides me and people in my district," said Sen. Shirley McKague, R-Meridian. She said she couldn't predict if the Senate would take action on urban renewal, but that the House could.
Sen. Joe Stegner, R-Lewiston, who leads the Senate Local Government and Taxation Committee, said any legislation would likely need to start in the House and that he's not sure how the Senate would act. "I know, like everyone in the state knows, that there's some interest in that," he said. Stegner said he's aware of the criticism but doesn't want to get rid of urban renewal districts.
O'Toole recommended some new limits, including requiring a popular vote to create or expand an urban renewal district and limiting the amount of property taxes that can go to urban renewal. Other ideas being discussed in the Statehouse include limiting how many years urban renewal districts can issue bonds for future tax revenues.
O'Toole said he will be releasing a detailed study on Idaho's urban renewal districts with his full recommendations next week.

Quality Foods in Comox helping seniors, disabled get groceries
Quality Foods in Comox will start registration next week for a new program to help seniors and persons with a disability with their grocery shopping.
Q-SHOP (Seniors Helping Other Seniors) will be co-ordinated by volunteer seniors and Quality Foods. Volunteer Sandy Higginson says the service is important, especially in Comox.
"Because of the Valley growing, more of the people are becoming seniors and this service is really valuable for them, especially if they can't drive anymore," she says.
Seniors and persons with a disability can simply call the Q-SHOP direct line at 250-941-4208 and place their grocery order on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 8 a.m. and noon.
Volunteers such as Higginson will do the shopping, and then Quality Foods will deliver the grocery order that day for a $5 fee.
Comox Quality Foods manager Rick Gaiga says a portion of that $5 fee will be donated to an, as yet undetermined, seniors facility to help out with things like equipment purchases.
"Quality Foods feels its important to donate back to a seniors facility because we truly believe that there is a need for such things as beds, chairs, walkers and unknown equipment that are aging and need replacing," says Gaiga. "We would like to give back in support."
The program will officially launch on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 27 and 28, but there will be a registration period from noon to 4 p.m. this coming Wednesday and Thursday (Feb. 20 and 21).
Q-SHOP is only offered at the Quality Foods in Comox.
Higginson says she's excited to start helping other people with their shopping, and it's something she can feel good about doing.
"I feel it's very rewarding and I'm putting something back into the community," she says.
For more information, call the Q-SHOP line at 250-941-4208 or visit Quality Foods in Comox at 2275 Guthrie Rd.

Riverside Auto Drive-In
5800 Riverside Drive,
1 person favorited this theater
This drive-in theater was located on the east side of Riverside Drive, just south of Route 161 on the east side of the Scioto River. It was the first drive-in to open in the Columbus area, opening on June 25, 1940.
In the mid-1970's it was closed for the construction of the housing development, Riverside Green. A few years later, Friendship Village, a retirement center, was added to the same area.

Address of the Riverside Drive-In was 5800 Riverside Drive, Dublin, OH 43017. From looking at the map, it looks like I once had an apartment just about where the concession stand/projection booth would have been located!
In 1956 it stilled parked 300 cars and i have it owned by Frank Yassenoff.
Opening ownership was Frank Yassenoff and Harold Schwartz. This was their second drive-in.
Opening picture was BRUTE FORCE with Burt Lancaster.
What great picture to open a Drive-in.BURT LANCASTER. one of the greats. And i share his birthday.
Thanks to Mike Rogers for finding the official date this theatre opened. It was the first drive-in in the Columbus area and opened on June 25, 1940. The first feature was HIS GIRL FRIDAY. Details are hard to get on this because the newpaper microfilm for that date is too dark to see clearly.
I misinterpreted an ad from April 2, 1948, that said it was the Grand Opening.
In 1940, this theatre was WAY out from the main city area. Major development in this area was 35 years away.
Funny…I recall in the late '60's entering from the other side (south side). My recall faulty?
Pappyroehrer, I enjoy your commments on Columbus theatres. Please post more if you can.
HISTORICAERIALS.COM has aerial maps of the Columbus area from both 1957 & 1971. The 1971 maps shows the same entrance as the image from 1957 above.
Things sure have changed in that part of town. All signs of the drive-in are completely gone now.

After a gem today, chillier, cloudier weather ahead
Today will be the last sunny, relatively warm day for a while, forecasters say. To make matters worse, snow could return Thursday and Friday, though not much will accumulate.
Today will be "a very untypical January day with lots of sunshine," said National Weather Service meteorologist Charlie Foley.
Highs are expected to crest near 50 degrees. Clouds will start rolling in this evening as temperatures sink into the mid-30s.
Thursday should see fog between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m., with a slight chance of showers after noon. Skies will be mostly cloudy, and highs will be in the lower 40s. More showers in the evening could mix with snow after 10 a.m. as lows drop to around 31, but chances of precipitation are only 20 percent.
"It might be a coating or a dusting, but it won't be significant," Foley said.
Friday will be partly sunny through the afternoon, with temperatures rising to the mid-40s. Some cooler air could bring light snow showers in the evening as temperatures drop to around 31.
"The storm is giving us a glancing blow as it moves off the Southern New England coast, and we're looking at an inch of snow at worst," Foley said.
This weekend will be dry as temperatures start returning to more normal, and even below-normal levels. Highs Saturday and Sunday should only reach into the mid-30s before dropping to the mid-20s at night.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stocks stumbled into the close Tuesday, shaking off a modest morning rally ignited by news of that eurozone deal to help Greece avoid defaulting on its debt.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) briefly topped 13,000 -- a level not seen since mid-May 2008 -- but fell back to roughly 12,966, jumping 16 points for the day, or 0.1%.
The S&P 500 (SPX) added 1 point, or 0.1%. The Nasdaq (COMP) shed 3 points, or 0.1%.
It's been a good year for stocks so far. The Dow is up more than 6% from the start of the year. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are up 8% and 13%, respectively.
Traders said Tuesday was a particularly quiet day on trading floors with few shares changing hands.
Initial gains were driven by progress made in Greece, which has been mired in a recession for years and desperately needs more bailout funds to stave off default.
After weeks of negotiations and market speculation, eurozone finance ministers completed a deal early Tuesday that will provide Greece with the €130 billion in funding it needs.
"Greece was already priced in, which is why we're not getting a big reaction," said Doug Cote, chief market strategist at ING Investment Management.
The euro surged immediately after the deal was announced, rising to nearly $1.33 before retreating. That level hasn't been hit since early December.
In the United States, several retailers, including Dow component Wal-Mart Stores (WMT, Fortune 500), released their quarterly results ahead of the bell. While Wal-Mart missed expectations, causing the big box retailer's shares to drop nearly 4%, most of its competitors fared better -- offering some signs of an economic recovery.
Financial stocks continue to move higher with Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500), Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500), Credit Suisse (CS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) and Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) up between 1% and 3%.
U.S. markets were closed Monday for Presidents Day. Shares finished mixed Friday with the Greek situation still unresolved.
World markets: European stocks ended lower. Britain's FTSE 100 (UKX) dropped 0.2%, the DAX (DAX) in Germany dipped 0.5% and France's CAC 40 (CAC40) shed 0.2%.
Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) gained 0.8% and the Hang Seng (HSI) in Hong Kong ticked up 0.3%, but Japan's Nikkei (N225) lost 0.2%.
Companies: Shares of J.C. Penney (JCP, Fortune 500) fell 3%, after Fitch cut the retailers' rating to junk status.
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) fell 3%, after cable company Comcast (CMCSA, Fortune 500) announced a new instant video streaming service.
Home Depot (HD, Fortune 500) reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that topped analysts' expectations. The home improvement retailer cited favorable weather, saying sales at U.S. stores open a year or more climbed 6.1%.
Macy's (M, Fortune 500) shares rose slightly after the retailer reported better-than-expected earnings and sales that were in line with forecasts.
Shares of Dell (DELL, Fortune 500) dropped nearly 3% in after hours trading, after the computer maker reported earnings that beat revenues expectations but missed on profits. Competitor Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500) is scheduled to report earnings Wednesday.
Wynn Resorts (WYNN) shares climbed 6%, after reports claimed that the company will buy out Japanese gambling tycoon Kazuo Okada's 20% stake at a big discount.
Shares of Kraft Foods (KFT, Fortune 500) rose after the company reported earnings in line with forecasts and predicted earnings' growth of 9% in 2012.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar was little changed against the British pound, but rose versus the Japanese yen.
Oil for March delivery, in its final day of trading, rose $2.64 to $105.88 a barrel. The more active April contract gained $2.65 to $106.25 a barrel.
Gold futures for April delivery climbed $32.60 to $1,758.50 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury ended the day at a yield of 2.01% near its yield late Friday.

Great pencils and Service
By Marie colors
from Denham Springs, LA
Prismacolor Pencils are the best medium for coloring! Blicks has better prices for replacement pencils than popular craft stores.
Thank God for Blick!
By Bawb
from Huntington Beach CA
I draw peoples faces and if not for the colored pencils I purchase through Blick I would not be able to achieve the quality I pictures I produce. One picture can take anywhere from a day to a week to produce and it is the layering affect I get from using multiple different colors blended to achieve a good picture. Thank you Blick for helping me to keep my sanity by supplying the one product I have used for many many years.

The Metal Industry Indicators (MII)
is a monthly newsletter that analyzes and forecasts the economic health of five metal
industries: primary metals, steel, copper, primary aluminum, and aluminum mill products. Composite leading and
coincident indexes were developed under a cooperative agreement with the former Center for International Business Cycle Research
(CIBCR) at Columbia University. The composite leading and coincident indexes are constructed with a set of indicators that historically have proven to lead or coincide with the major changes in these industries. Each month, these indexes are analyzed along with any economy-wide occurrences that would affect the metals industries. To view or print a document in PDF format, download the free
Adobe Acrobat Reader. Historical data for the MII indexes are usually updated the third Friday of each month.
The latest file of historical data was updated on March 24 and contains revised indexes that will be in the March 2017 MII. The latest summary report for the MII was updated on March 24 and contains the indexes that appear in the March 2017 MII. The next update to the summary report is scheduled for April 25, 2017.
Notes:Subscribe by EmailReaders interested in receiving an email notice when the full MII report becomes available, may now subscribe to the MI-METAL-INDICATORS list service. Please visit Minerals Information Email List Services for instructions on how to subscribe. The MI-METAL-INDICATORS list service is included in "Other." Nonmetallic Mineral Products Industry IndexesThe USGS has prepared leading and coincident indexes for the Nonmetallic Mineral Products Industry (NAICS 327).

The trio formed in 2006 in Manchester, England, following the dissolution of Pete Phythian and Michelle Lock's previous group. With Vini Taylor rounding out the new lineup, the Gilded Palace of Sins took an eclectic approach to their music, tackling multiple genres (and multiple instruments) in order to find their unique sound. After signing with Central Control International, the group made its studio debut with the release of 2010's You Break Our Hearts, We'll Tear Yours Out. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
