The cape that she is wearing was a last minute pattern. It was an alteration to the Wandering Waif Cape. And it can be reversed. I recommend using a limp material. Not stiff. If you use a stiff material take about 5" out of the middle back of the pattern. Again, not recommended.
I used a very stiff material for this cape and it turned out to be quite problematic. I also slightly changed the sleeve holes in jpg pattern I posted. The new way works much better.
This cape is for a 2T.

Official: Mohegan police ready for a bigger role
An official of the Mohegan Tribe asserted Friday that the tribe's police department is "extremely well-trained" and capable of assuming greater responsibility for public safety inside the tribe's Mohegan Sun casino.
"Every one of our 25 Mohegan tribal police are POST-certified, meaning they've gone through the Connecticut State Police Academy," Chuck Bunnell, the tribe's chief of staff for external and governmental affairs, said. "They've all either worked as Connecticut state police officers or were in local departments before we hired them."
State police are certified by the state's Police Officer Standards and Training Council.
Bunnell said the tribe requires its officers to maintain state certification as a condition of employment.
Both the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes have been negotiating a reduction in the state police presence at Mohegan Sun and at Foxwoods Resort Casino, which the Mashantuckets own. Such a transfer of responsibility could save the tribes millions of dollars and enable the state to reassign troopers from the casinos to the road.
An Associated Press report last week raised questions about the Mashantucket tribal police force's ability to assume a greater role in its gaming facilities, which include MGM Grand at Foxwoods. At about the same time, Mashantucket Police Chief Dan Collins resigned.
The AP story quoted former Mashantucket tribal police officers who said the force is understaffed and Collins yielded to inappropriate influence by members of the tribal council, which governs the tribe.
According to a source with knowledge of tribal affairs, the council removed Collins from his position Wednesday and allowed him back into his office Thursday to collect belongings. Neither Collins nor tribal officials have responded to requests for comment.
Bunnell said the Mohegans pay the state about $200,000 a year for each state police officer assigned to Mohegan Sun, far more than a tribal officer would cost. Typically, the state officers assigned to casinos are veterans who earn top wages or have retired as regular officers and whose pension payments grow as they continue working.
"We spend millions on police coverage," Bunnell said. "To pay $200,000 for a state police officer when we can have a POST-certified (tribal) officer for 25 percent of that doesn't make a lot of sense."
Bunnell said the tribe and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration are working out the number of tribal police the Mohegans would have to add to their force if they were to assume greater responsibility at the casino.
The gaming compacts each tribe has with the state say only that tribal and state law enforcement agencies "may exercise concurrent authority" in gaming facilities.
Currently, Bunnell said, at least six Mohegan tribal police are on duty at any one time, with responsibility for the casino as well as the rest of the Mohegan reservation.
He went on to extoll the qualifications of the Mohegan tribal police force leadership.
Frank Gavigan, tribal police chief, is a former Norwich police captain. He answers to Joseph Lavin, executive director of public safety and surveillance, who is a former state police officer, as is his deputy, Jeff Hotsky. Lavin answers to Phil Cahill, the tribe's chief operating officer, who answers to the tribal council.
It could not be readily learned how many Mashantucket tribal police have state certification. At least one has received training at the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs' Indian Police Academy in Artesia, N.M.
A spokesman for the governor indicated Friday that state police aren't about to withdraw completely from the casinos.
"Troopers will continue to patrol the casinos, there just won't be a fixed deployment of troopers specific to the casino," Andrew Doba wrote in an email response to a reporter's questions. "The Commissioner (of public safety) will decide where and how to assign troopers in the future."

The title plays on the delay obviously intended as a special effect. The fact solo instruments such as guitars in style Dublin, the drum kit, and the piano, have tried to make full and solemn sound of a suite in line with the style of U2. Can be used for business presentations but also for creative television opener.
For the most demanding I have included in the package, a bonus "Unplugged" version where the instruments are acoustic-electric, with no effects except the "natural" reverberb environment where the main tool is a Moog (in tribute of Robert Moog).

The Business Roundtable (BRT) outlined its priorities in a new report. Although many of the recommendations have been talked about, members of the BRT Roundtable said they hope the new Congress and President Barack Obama will make progress on their agenda, including recommendations for the EPA:
"Ensuring that EPA regulations are based on sound science, undergo thorough net cost-benefit analysis, and take into consideration the net cumulative impact these regulations have on energy costs, economic growth and job creation, while being protective of human health and the environment."
"Carefully evaluating the timing and cumulative impact of EPA regulations on the electric utility industry and, as appropriate, modifying these regulations to ensure continued reliability, avoid unreasonable rate impacts, and maintain a diverse, market-driven portfolio of baseload electricity generation fuel options."
The BRT is an association of chief executive officers from many leading U.S. companies with over $6 trillion in annual revenues and more than 14 million employees. Their companies generate an estimated $420 billion in sales for small and medium-sized businesses annually. BRT members comprise nearly a third of the total value of the U.S. stock market and invest more than $150 billion annually in research and development — nearly half of all private U.S. R&D spending.
As talks heat up about who will be nominated to be the next EPA Administrator, the nominee will need to listen to voices like the BRT and take these recommendations into consideration and understand that it's best to take a common sense action to protect the environment while not harming American jobs and consumers.
As we've said before, the next head of the EPA needs to fully analyze and understand the full, cumulative economic impacts of its regulations. American jobs are at stake, as well as access to affordable, reliable electricity that is a pillar to our economic recovery.
BRT companies pay $163 billion in dividends to shareholders and give nearly $9 billion a year in combined charitable contributions.

Exhibition Materials
Minnesota Potters: Sharing the Fire by Mark Lambert and Janet Koplos (Anoka-Ramsey Community College, 2012): Accompanied by a travelling exhibition and workshop series, this exhibition catalogue invites a rare view into the lives and the work of eight prominent Minnesota ceramic artists, including Richard Bresnahan and Steven Lemke.
The one-of-a-kind effort to encourage, record, and share the rich history of ceramics in Minnesota is made possible in part by multiple Folk and Traditional Arts Grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board received by Anoka-Ramsey Community College and coordinated by art faculty member and ceramic artist Mark Lambert.
The Contemporary Art of Chawan by Randall Morris (Cavin-Morris Gallery, 2012): This exhibition catalogue documents "Teaware from the Edge," an exhibition tour of contemporary teabowl forms on display at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, Washington and Cavin-Morris Gallery in New York, New York.
Presenting one of the largest groupings of contemporary ceremonial teabowls in the United States, this travelling exhibition and catalogue was organized by ceramicists Robert Fornell and Rick Maheffey and features wood-fired work by Artist-in-Residence and Master Potter Richard Bresnahan.
Stoked: Five Artists of Fire and Clay by Dr. Matthew Welch (Saint John's University Press, 2010): This stunning full-color exhibition catalogue reviews recent work by Richard Bresnahan and four former apprentices who have worked with Bresnahan and The Saint John's Pottery since it was established over thirty years ago.
The catalogue explores a range of American ceramics: from the robust stonewares of Bresnahan, Flicker, and Johnson to the whimsical redwares of Earp and the elegant sculptures of Meyer. Several essays reveal each artist's search for identity and the cross-fertilization that occurs when creative people are mindful not only of the past but of generations to come.

Northampton: The West Indies suffered a crushing 10-wicket defeat against England Lions here Sunday, just four days ahead of their clash with World No.1 England in the opening Test at Lord`s.
Without the full services of their three-pronged pace attack, the West Indies struggled to make any inroads and the Lions easily wiped off the 197-run target set for victory, before tea on the final day of the four-day tour match at Wantage Road.
Speedster Kemar Roach, who twisted an ankle earlier in the game and then sustained a blow to his hand while batting earlier in the day, did not bowl a single over while fellow pacers Fidel Edwards and Ravi Rampaul sent down just 10 overs between them.
Rampaul left the field after bowling just four overs and even when he returned, was not used as a bowling option.
Edwards has struggled with injury in recent weeks and sat out the opening tour match against Sussex last weekend in Hove.
A West Indies team official, however, said all three players were expected to be fit for the Lord`s Test.
With the Windies resorting to off-spinners Shane Shillingford and Marlon Samuels as their frontline attack and Darren Bravo as support with his unpractised medium pace, Joe Root grabbed the opportunity to stroke his second first class hundred - an unbeaten 115.
His partner Michael Carberry hit an unbeaten 72 as the Lions encountered little difficulty against the depleted Windies attack.
Earlier, West Indies were dismissed for 390 after resuming the day on 377 for eight.
Denesh Ramdin added just two to his overnight 31 before departing in the day`s fourth over and Rampaul lasted just 16 balls before becoming seamer Matt Coles` second wicket of the morning.
Coles finished with four for 76.
Root and Carberry then set about their run chase with some flourish, reaching 61 without loss at lunch before accelerating afterward.
The 21-year-old right-handed Root faced 143 balls in three hours at the crease, striking 16 fours.
Carberry, meanwhile, batted 153 balls in the same amount of time at the crease, and counted ten fours.
The West Indies open their three-Test series at Lord`s Thursday.
Brief scores:
West Indies 147 (Darren Bravo 51, Marlon Samuels 32; Jack Brooks 3-23, Stuart Meaker 3-42, Jade Dernbach 2-31, Matt Coles 2-42) and 390 (Kieran Powell 108, Shiv Chanderpaul 77, Darren Bravo 57, Marlon Samuels 44, Denesh Ramdin 33; Matt Coles 4-76, Jack Brooks 3-46, Stuart Meaker 2-73)
Engand Lions 341 (James Taylor 118, Jonny Bairstow 50, Michael Carberry 32, Jade Dernbach 29 not out, Ian Bell 29, Nick Compton 21; Ravi Rampaul 3-79, Kemar Roach 3-90, Shane Shillingford 2-75, Fidel Edwards 2-79) and 197 (Joe Root 115 not out, Michael Carberry 72 not out).

Are you wondering if cancer runs in your family? The Family Cancer Assessment Clinic (FCAC) at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) is here to help with answers to some frequently asked questions. The FCAC identifies and helps families who have an increased risk for cancer.
How do I know if cancer runs in my family?
Families that have increased risks for cancer often have certain similarities:
- Cancer occurring at an earlier age than in the general population (for example, breast or colon cancer before age 50)
- Multiple close family members with either the same type of cancer or related cancers (for example, breast and ovarian cancer; colon and uterine cancer)
- More than one type of cancer in the same person (for example, melanoma and pancreatic cancer)
- A close family member with multiple primary cancers of one type, such as bilateral breast cancer (breast cancer occurring in both breasts) or a single family member with two separate melanomas
- Rare cancers in the family
- Multiple generations with cancer
- One or more family members with multiple precancerous findings (for example, 10 or more colon polyps over a lifetime)
- Individuals or families with these features may consider having a genetic evaluation to learn more about their cancer risk. To learn about a genetic evaluation, contact the FCAC.
What is the Family Cancer Assessment Clinic?
Before an appointment with the FCAC, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire with information about your personal health history and a detailed questionnaire about your family history.
During an appointment, you will meet with a genetic counselor. The genetic counselor will review the patient's personal and family history to determine whether the family could have a hereditary risk for cancer. They will discuss available genetic testing options, including the risks and benefits of genetic testing.
If you decide to pursue genetic testing, the genetic counselor can guide you through the process. Counselors will discuss how hereditary cancer risks can be managed through screening and preventive options. Usually, an HCI physician will be available to answer additional questions. Our genetic counselors can also provide you with helpful educational and support resources as well as information about the opportunity to participate in research.
What is genetic testing?
Genes are the parts of cells that hold the instructions for the body to function properly. Genetic testing looks for changes in genes (called mutations) that increase the risk of developing cancer. These mutations can be passed down through families, making some family members more likely to develop cancer than people in the general population.
What does genetic testing involve?
The test usually requires a small blood sample. Sometimes other specimens, such as cells from a cheek swab, can be used. The sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results come back to the FCAC and will be shared with the patient, along with any additional management and follow-up recommendations.
Is genetic testing recommended for everyone?
Genetic testing is available to everyone, but it is not always recommended. A genetic counselor and physician are available to talk with a patient about the benefits and limitations of genetic testing based on personal and family history. Ultimately each person has the final decision about whether to proceed with testing.
For more information, contact the FCAC or call the Cancer Learning Center at 1-888-424-2100.

Herbstritt completes Eagle Scout project
This past summer, Benjamin Herbstritt, his fellow scouts and some friends completed a raised garden for the residents of Elk Haven Nursing Home. Ben is a member of Boy Scout Troop 95, which is sponsored by the Sacred Heart Parish. As an Eagle Scout candidate, Ben is required to perform a leadership serrvice project. After speaking with the director of resident activities and the director of environmental services at Elk Haven Nursing Home, it was decided that a raised garden would be a nice addition to the patio area. This raised garden will allow the residents to perform gardening from a seated position. Since its completion, many of the residents have already begun using the raised garden.Ben would like to acknowledge Tim Ruffner, director of environmental services at Elk Haven, and the maintenance department for all of their help and the use of their equipment. Also, he would like to express his appreciation to Suburban Building Center, Hoss's, Burke's Home Center, Lowes and the many private donors for their generous donations.

I have put together an Excel spreadsheet that calculates the temperature profile through a wall that is heated by the sun.
It use the matrix [K]{T} + [C]{dT/dt} = {S}, where [K] is the heat transfer, {T} is the temperature at the various nodes, [C] is the thermal capacitance of the node, and {S} is the thermal heat gain of the outer node. A copy of the spreadsheet and matrix math is attached.
The math equations have not been verified for accuracy or errors, but it is kind of fun to play around with the variables to see how the temperature profile in the wall changes throughout the day.
(Note that an earlier version of this post had the attached Excel file as a *.zip file. It has been replaced with an Excel version.)

Does this assume that all the heat the face is not leaving, or does it account for convetive currents on the face taking some heat away? Does it assume no wind? What boundry factors have you set up?
The spreadsheet calculates whether heat is going in or out. Yes, it accounts for convective currents removing heat from the surface. You can specify any interior or interior convective heat transfer coefficients or air temperatures that you want. You can also specify the amount of solar gain that the wall receives based on the absorption coefficient. A perfectly black surface would absorb all of the solar heat (Absorbtivity = 1.0) and a perfectly reflective surface would have zero absorbtivity. I used it recently to model the heat transfer in and out of cold storage rooms that is kept at 32F.
I'm working on an updated model that provides the thermal properties for different building materials and different convective heat transfer coefficients for wind, no wind, surface orientation etc.
In addition to calculating the heat flow through walls, the spreadsheet could also be used to calculate how quickly the outside of your coffee cup would warm up after filling it with coffee.
This is a nice graphic. I have a question on how you captured the data -- did you set temperature probes at increasing depths into the brick wall, or are these extrapolated from the delta between interior and exterior temperatures? Thank you.
The values are all calculated for each node based on the physical characteristics that are input into the model.
To, Ti, hi and ho are inside and outside temperatures and convective heat transfer coefficients,
K is the Conductance (Conductivity/Thickness) of each layer
ρ is the layer's density, and
Cp is the specific heat of the material.
Attached is a detailed description of how I derived the calculations that are used in this transient heat transfer analysis.

He was absolutely talking about Fleury and I think it's low character to pretend like he wasn't. His point was that Fleury is not good and that the Penguins win in spite of him. That's fantasy land.

Substitute Jordan Bowery came to Chesterfield's rescue as the League Two leaders snatched a 2-2 draw against lowly Bradford.
The 19-year-old striker came off the bench to level deep into injury time with his first league goal for the club to deny the Bantams victory at the b2net Stadium.
Danny Whitaker had fired the home side into an 11th-minute lead, but Dave Syres levelled within seconds. James Hanson put Bradford 2-1 ahead seven minutes after the restart, and he looked to have clinched the points for the visitors until Bowery finished from close range three minutes into stoppage time.
Rotherham climbed into the top three after a resounding 4-0 home win over bottom-of-the-table Stockport. The game was effectively over by half-time after debutant Aaron Brown's own goal, Ryan Taylor and Adam Le Fondre put the Millers 3-0 up, and Taylor's second 12 minutes after the break cemented the victory.
Giillingham, who started the day in ninth, hauled themselves into the play-off places with a 2-1 home win over Aldershot. Cody McDonald's double, the second of them in the final minute of normal time, secured all three points, and Alex Rodman's fine injury-time strike could not prevent a first defeat for new Shots manager Dean Holdsworth.
Mid-table Southend denied Barnet the chance to lift themselves out of the bottom two with a 2-0 victory at Underhill. Anthony Grant gave the visitors a 25th-minute lead and Barry Corr made sure with a second with 67 minutes gone.
Lincoln left it late to stretch Port Vale's winless run under Jim Gannon to five games. Ashley Grimes struck four minutes from time to further dent Vale's promotion hopes.
Oxford keeper Ryan Clark ensured his side emerged from their clash with Cheltenham with something to show for their efforts after a late penalty save.
Clark kept out Wes Thomas' spot-kick to deny the visitors victory after the striker had fired the visitors into a 25th-minute lead.
Tom Craddock equalised within eight minutes and both sides had goals ruled out before the Oxford keeper's late heroics.

CHICAGO (AP) — Paul George has found himself a new routine.
After laying a goose-egg his last time out, George scored 34 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Indiana Pacers to an 80-76 win over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
Roy Hibbert added 10 points, 11 rebounds and a game-saving block for Indiana, which closed a four-game road trip with three victories.
The Bulls, who failed to win three straight for the first time this season, were able to keep David West, Indiana's leading scorer, in check — but George picked up the slack.
George scored 10 points in the first quarter, highlighted by a thunderous dunk as George Hill's 3-point attempt bounced up off the back of the rim. It was George's best performance since scoring a career-high 37 points Nov. 21 against New Orleans. George went scoreless Saturday at Golden State, missing all seven of his shots.
"I'm always my worst critic," George said. "When we got back, we had the day off and I knew that I needed to work. I headed over to the gym, put up 500 shots, mixed it up from floaters to mid-range to 3-pointers. That's something that's got to be a routine for me."
Up two points in the closing seconds, Hibbert was the recipient of a controversial no-call that sent the home crowd into a frenzy. Luol Deng drove along the base line and was rejected by Hibbert, falling to the floor as West grabbed the rebound to send the Pacers back to the line to ice the game.
Hibbert stayed in Indiana over the summer to work on defense with his coaches. Coach Frank Vogel was ecstatic to see it pay off.
"You're allowed to jump straight up," Vogel explained. "No matter where you are, you're allowed to jump straight up and absorb contact."
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau saw it differently.
"In my eyes, (Deng) got wiped out," Thibodeau said. "I'm not going to put it on the officials. We've still got to get it done. Tough call went against us."
Hibbert had little offensive impact in the first half, scoring two points, but used his size to take over in the third quarter when Indiana outscored Chicago 25-18. Then he put the game away with his defense.
"I do that all the time," Hibbert said about the play on Deng. "I jump straight up and take the contact. I play defense. That's my staple. If my offense isn't going, I always have to play defense. I want to make the all-defensive team this year."
Hibbert has blocked at least two shots in 12 straight games.
Nate Robinson fired up the crowd with a trio of baskets on successive possessions midway through the fourth quarter to give the Bulls their first lead since early in the third, but Chicago could not pull it out, thanks in part to 19 turnovers.
Robinson came off the bench and scored 19 points, and Carlos Boozer notched his seventh double-double in nine games with 14 points and 10 rebounds for Chicago.
"Something we have to do is take care of the ball down the stretch," Robinson said. "For this loss, I definitely take the blame. Down the stretch I have to be smarter with the ball and make the right plays and execute."
Three of Robinson's four turnovers came in the fourth quarter.
West reached double-digits for a ninth straight game for Indiana, but his 10 points were a far cry from the 23 he had averaged over his last six games.
Indiana shot 31.6 percent from the floor in the first half, including 1 of 5 from behind the arc. The Pacers continued to struggle from long range, hitting 2 of 10 attempts, but tightened up inside, shooting over 40 percent in the second half.
Chicago shot 38.4 percent from the floor.
Both teams struggling from the field was little surprise, as Indiana (90.9 points allowed per game) and Chicago (94.4) came into the contest boasting two of the top-five defenses in the NBA.
Marco Belinelli scored six points with an assist and a turnover in his first start for Chicago, playing in place of the injured Richard Hamilton. Hamilton is out indefinitely after suffering a torn plantar fascia in his left foot during Saturday's 93-88 win over Philadelphia.
Hamilton's injury left the Bulls even thinner at the guard position, with former MVP Derrick Rose sidelined due to surgery in May to repair a torn ACL in his left knee.
NOTES: Rose was seen shooting around at the United Center earlier Tuesday, but Thibodeau remained stalwart in his preseason resolution to avoid talking about Rose's rehab at length. `'Derrick's focused on his rehab, we're focused on our improvement and our opponent. So he's doing fine," Thibodeau said. … Vogel acknowledged F/C Tyler Hansbrough's struggle to adjust to decreased minutes. Hansbrough came in averaging just 6.5 points per game and went scoreless on Saturday against Golden State, missing all five field goal attempts. `'He's got to figure it out," Vogel said.

Reducing Respiratory Side Effects of Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block

- How to Read a Study Record
Shoulder surgery is known to be extremely painful requiring high doses of opiate analgesics (morphine) to control pain. Morphine has numerous unwanted side effects including sedation, hallucinations and vomiting.
It is now standard procedure for patients undergoing shoulder surgery to have their pain controlled by means of an injection made around the nerves where they pass through the neck to supply the shoulder with sensation (similar to the numbing injections made by the dentist before a dental procedure). This injection is called a 'nerve block'.
Nerve blocks provide complete analgesia after shoulder surgery allowing clinicians to discharge patients home on the day of surgery, pain free and with no opiate side effects. However, a side effect of nerve blocks at this level is involvement of the phrenic nerve, which is anatomically close to the injection point. This may cause (temporary) paralysis of the diaphragm and in some cases, severe respiratory dysfunction.
Research shows that reducing either the volume or the concentration of the drug injected, can reduce the consequent respiratory dysfunction. However no study has compared both volume and concentration in parallel, to see which of these has the more significant effect in reducing respiratory dysfunction. Furthermore there has been no assessment of how these changes may affect the duration of analgesia received and patient coping after discharge.
The investigators propose to conduct a double blind randomised controlled trial at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, enrolling patients presenting for elective day case arthroscopic (key hole) surgery over a period of 6 months. Patients will receive one of four treatment allocations:
- Low concentration-high volume of local anaesthetic
- Low concentration-low volume of local anaesthetic
- High concentration-high volume of local anaesthetic
- High concentration-low volume of anaesthetic drug of local anaesthetic.
The aim of this study is to inform an optimum dosing regimen for patients in order to facilitate maximal pain relief and quality of recovery with minimum respiratory dysfunction.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
All patients undergoing day case shoulder surgery that would normally be managed with a nerve block for post-operative pain relief will be considered eligible for the study. Inclusion criteria are detailed below
- Age > 18 and < 80 years
- American Society of Anaesthetists (ASA) grades I - III. (ASA grade determines how 'fit' a patient is for surgery, with 1 being a normal healthy patient and 5 being a moribund patient that is not expected to survive. 'Fitter' patients are being chosen as it is felt that severe associated illness may influence our results).
- A composite pain score of 0 when assessed in the post anaesthetic care unit (PACU) at 30mins post-operatively. This will be required in order for the patient to be deemed to have an 'effective' nerve block and be entered into the study. Patients reporting pain at this point will be removed from the study and offered either a rescue brachial plexus block or alternative analgesia. (Published research by Riazi et al and by McNaught et al, indicates that 5mls of local anaesthetic solution is adequate for establishing an effective ISBPB in this immediate post-operative period).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Significant respiratory disease including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or unstable asthma
- Renal or hepatic impairment
- Allergy to local anaesthetic
- Opiod tolerance (more then 30mg of morphine or its equivalent per day)
- Body mass index > 40
- Body weight < 56kg (due to potentially toxic doses of local anaesthetic drug if using higher volume of 0.75% concentration at below this weight)

Universal Music Keeps Trying To Claim Zoe Keating's Royalty Checks, Despite Having Nothing To Do With Her
from the the-plight-of-the-indie-musician dept
However, earlier this week, Keating noted that Universal Music was once again claiming her own music as its own, and trying to claim the royalties owed to her. I asked her for some details, and she passed along all of the various emails, including the ones from earlier this year, in which SoundExchange insisted that everything was sorted out. Of course, in one of those emails, SoundExchange also admits that such situations are "not uncommon." That seems pretty ridiculous, but as long as they sorted everything out.
The latest, however, is that even though SoundExchange had previously reached out to Universal Music, on behalf of Keating, it now sent her an email saying that there were, once again "overlapping claims." Even worse, the note said that if she didn't respond within 90 days, the royalties would go to Universal, because they give preference when songs are claimed directly by a label.
Keating was forced, yet again, to complain to SoundExchange over Universal Music trying to take her royalties. In response, someone from SE suggested that it may have been Keating's own confusion -- even suggesting that she may have been confused about the difference between master sound recordings and compositions (Keating was not confused, and holds the rights to both, since they're entirely original compositions and recordings by her).
Those with a conspiratorial bent might think that this is a neat way for the major labels, like Universal Music to simply claim the rights to any indie artist's music. Just keep making the claim, and leave it to the artist to sort it out by working through SoundExchange's bureaucracy. I certainly doubt that's truly the case. It probably is just someone, somewhere making an administrative mistake in how things are recorded -- but just the fact that Keating has to continually explain this situation just to keep Universal Music from getting the royalties owed to her is pretty crazy. On top of that, each time this happens, such funds are held until the conflict is resolved. For an indie musician, having such funds held can be a pretty big deal.
The whole situation seems pretty ridiculous all around.
Update: The situation has now been resolved, with Universal admitting -- yet again -- that it does not have any claim or rights to Keating's music. Separately, SoundExchange wanted to make clear that the "conflict" in data came from a (nameless) webcaster, who incorrectly listed Keating's music on their playlist as belonging to Universal Music. They insist that Universal had nothing to do with the actual claim. What's unclear is why SoundExchange relies on webcasters for the copyright holder info. I can understand getting a listing of songs and artists, but asking them to figure out who the label/copyright holder is seems like a situation that is going to turn up all sorts of bogus data, something that SoundExchange admits outright is "a challenge across the industry."
Separately, SoundExchange claims that they do not give preference to labels as I stated in my post. But in the letter sent to Keating on Monday, it states: "our policy is to give preference to repertoire that is claimed directly by a label. Therefore, if we haven't heard from you within 90 days, we will adjust the claim in favor of the new claimant." That certainly sounds like they would have given preference to Universal Music. If that's not the case, it seems like they should clarify the language in such emails.

Much more than posters
14 November 2008 | News story
No less than 115 posters joined together with the over 800 events that took place during the four days of the Forum, to powerfully communicate conservation messages through visual means.
The posters took centre stage in the busy hall between workshops, and turned the heads of the 8000 delegates of the Forum.
Depicting a range of topics from innovations at the community and local level, to scientific and academic issues, to policy and governance concerns, the poster session provided a haven for participants to take a break from the presentations and debates taking place at the Forum.
The posters reflected the diversity of issues and topics at the Forum, from the successes and failures of governments and enforcement agencies to protect and conserve the environment, to stories by village women whose main source of livelihood are the natural resources surrounding them.
A team of IUCN staff served as a jury to select top three posters. The main criteria included originality, content, relevance of the message and visual impact.
In no particular order, the first of the three winners of the poster competition is From Addax to Zorilla: conserving Saharan wildlife, a poster created by Sahara Conservation Fund, which dispels the myth that deserts are empty spaces. The poster highlights how ecotourism can contribute to the livelihoods of local people.
The other winning poster is Eco-regional Conservation Strategy with a Participative Perspective, created by Fundación Pro-Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The poster brings together the causes and effects which link humans to their environment: "There is no water in the faucet ... because there is no water in the aqueduct ...because there is no water in the river ... because there is no water in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Heart of the World ... because its forests were felled and burnt."
The third winning poster, Cultural Renewal for Sustainable Development, created by Fundacion Andaluza Fondo de Formacion y Empleo Consejerio de Empleo Junte de Andalucia. This poster asks what is required to make a deep-rooted permanent change and calls for a transformation that begins with the viewer. The poster suggests that biocultural diversity management, comprehensive diagnosis, training and raising awareness on values, of new ideas that begin from within.

Don't suppose we could get "strace -c" reports for, at least, both of the local disk cases? /me suspects a big chunk of this is down to hg's one-store-file-per-checked-out-file arrangement vs git's packs.

If git just links two files, then when you commit a local change isn't that going to require a rewrite of the whole file?
Did you use hg clone -U ? It's unclear whether your timings included updating the working directory. On my usual PC you're looking at the best part of an hour, even for a clone -U :-( It took about 5½ minutes on a powerful Windows PC that I borrowed for testing purposes.

The hg clone time included updating the working directory.
Git works using raw files in addition to "pack" files. When you commit, new files are created with just that commit in them. These are occasionally garbage collected into pack files. This keeps commits very fast because no files need to be rewritten and at the same time allows very compact storage of history. e.g. git's 207M vs hg's 645M

Job Search / Re: ADVICE needed - DOJ or NYC Law Dept for 2L Summer« on: January 25, 2009, 06:11:46 PM »
Initially, I was asked which departments I would be interested in and told the NYCLD. I was interviewed by two senior counsel. Truthfully, I'll work whereever they want to place me because I'd really love to work there. I wasn't the person interested in the DOJ. I'm getting pretty nervous because I'm a 2L with no job right now. I'd love to hear if there are others in the same position because misery loves company. I'm in the top 10 percent in a Tier 2 law school so I'm wonder if there is something wrong with me.

1. What are Haiku's strong points?
Axel: Since we didn't release anything yet, I can only talk about what its planned strong points are; and those would be: ease of use, transparency (you should be able to understand the system without too much effort), good and useful defaults, everything "just works" (or doesn't, depending on the level of hardware support ;-) ). Of course, it will also inherit all the BeOS strong points like advanced media handling (this time with lots of codecs, too), and its database-like file system, low latency, and a responsive and appealing user interface.
2. What are Haiku's weak points?
Axel: That depends on what you're expecting from it; if you are comparing it to Windows or Mac OS X, you'll no doubt see lots of weak points - if you're just comparing it to BeOS, it might be the perfect OS for you.
Compared with the mainstream operating systems, you'll always have a weak point in supporting the latest hardware, especially hardware accelerated OpenGL. Also, the BeOS API is not complete measured by today's standards; you would expect to see built-in XML support, database access, etc. And while it's simple to get most of this via 3rd party libraries, there will be no official API for this in the first Haiku release.
From a user's point of view, the most apparent lacking things will be proper multi-screen support, multi-user capabilities, and localized versions. Of course, we intend to work on these problems in subsequent releases. Some things like the coordinate-less layouting of user interface widgets and the localization are already being worked on, but will only be provided as a private (and experimental) API in our first release.
3. What applications are sorely lacking from Haiku?
Axel: From what the occasional user would expect, I think we're mostly lacking Flash support. But depending on your needs, you will find missing or outdated and no longer maintained applications in all categories. Needless to say we have a lot of good software available, mostly thanks to the many open source projects out there, and also because we are binary compatible to BeOS. Personally, besides a better browser, I only missed a more powerful office software when I wrote my master thesis.
4. If there were two features you could magically get from other operating systems, what would they be and why?
Axel: I guess something that covers our weak points :-).
5. What project, feature, or application currently in development for Haiku excites you the most, and why?
Axel: What currently excites me the most is that we're, after all those years, actually almost self-hosting - which will give Haiku a huge development boost once we're there. That means a stable enough environment for you to actually develop Haiku on Haiku, including network access. At that point we're also planning to have our first alpha release. We're working hard to reach that point sometime this year.
Thanks to Axel Dorfler for taking the time to answer the five questions.

NEWINGTON, NH -- Planet Fitness is discontinuing personal training at its clubs, according to CEO Mike Grondahl.
In a letter written to Planet Fitness owners, Grondahl says the Newington, NH-based company's corporate-owned clubs will end all personal training sessions by Dec. 16. Franchisees will have until the first quarter of 2011 to end their personal training sessions.
"The decision to end personal training has been long and arduous," Grondahl wrote in the letter. "It goes right to the essence of our business model. We've always tried to keep personal training to a minimum at Planet Fitness. But the problems related to having trainers in our gyms have never completely gone away. Lately, they've gotten worse. Too many trainers are pushing PT on our members, the vast majority of whom have zero interest in it. These clubs are opening themselves up to trouble."
Grondahl says the clubs will continue their "P.E. at P.F."—physical education at Planet Fitness—group fitness training sessions.
Grondahl began the letter by claiming that most people doing personal training are "just renting friends."
"For us to be selling personal training is a fraud and downright condescending to anyone who can breathe," he wrote.
Grondahl adds in the letter that personal training did not fit Planet Fitness' "judgment-free zone" and that the company plans to use its no personal training model as a marketing tool.
"We'll be the only fitness chain that can say we'll never try to sell you personal training," Grondahl wrote. "A lot of people will say we are dead wrong with this historic move. But the world was flat once, and who the hell needs a friend for 50 bucks an hour?"

G6725, Reviewed January 2005
Trees and shade create a naturally pleasing environment in the landscape. However, it is difficult to grow grass under trees because not only the quantity but also the quality of the light changes in the shade. In full sun, light is in the "near red" range of wavelengths; in the shade it shifts to the "far red," which is less effective in photosynthesis. In addition, dense canopies, particularly those of conifers, filter out the blue component of sunlight, which is critical for plant growth. The result of these changes is a reduction in photosynthesis and its products, including carbohydrates needed for plant growth.
Leaves, leaf cuticles and stems of plants are thinner in shade. Shoot density decreases and rhizome and stolon numbers decrease. Plant tissues are succulent and there is an increase in susceptibility to environmental stresses and disease. Transpired moisture from trees and grass, and moisture from dew forming under trees, take longer to dissipate, and the additional moisture may contribute to an increase in disease.
Shady conditions in combination with other plant stresses contribute to the difficulty of growing grasses under trees. For example, tree roots compete with turf for water and nutrients, and this competition can further weaken turf growing in shade. Allelopathic effects, such as the inhibitory effect of silver maple upon Kentucky bluegrass, are important between certain species of plants. Excessive organic matter from leaf litter will also inhibit grass. One or more of these factors make it particularly difficult to grow grass under sweet gum, maple and unpruned pin oak. On the other hand, grass is easier to grow under locust and poplar trees.
Success with growing grass in shade can be increased if the tree canopy is thinned and branches from the lower third of the tree are selectively removed. Also, trees can sometimes be removed without disrupting the harmony and function of the landscape.
Select and use grasses that have improved shade tolerance (Table 1). Most of the fine fescues (hard, sheep, spreading, slender creeping and Chewing's) have very good shade tolerance. Tall fescue has good shade tolerance, while Kentucky bluegrass is the least shade tolerant of the cool-season grasses. Bermudagrass, zoysiagrass and buffalograss should not be used in shady locations. In areas where shade-tolerant grasses fail, consider shade-tolerant groundcovers or mulched beds instead of grass.
Pruning trees with dense canopies, such as maples, will allow additional light to pass through to the turfgrass sward. Prune lower branches to a height of six feet. On large trees, branches should be removed all the way back to the trunk or a main leader so that the area under the canopy is clear. Thinning shrubs in the landscape will improve air circulation and lower humidity. Before planting grasses, remove shallow tree feeder roots that compete with the turf for nutrients and water.
In Missouri, the hard, sheep, and Chewing's fescues are usually preferred over the other fine fescues when using a monoculture in shady locations. Turf-type tall fescues may also provide an acceptable turf in moderate shade caused by trees.
Another shade-tolerant grass is rough stalk bluegrass. This grass does well in cool, wet conditions found in some shady locations. It performs well in the spring and fall but will die in the summer if moisture is lacking. Rough stalk bluegrass should not be used in lawns where only one or two large trees cause thinning of turf. It is a spreading grass and may escape, causing unattractive patches in sunny areas. This grass should be used in lawns only where several trees exist and other grasses have been tried without success.

The Eldon School District has been awarded an AmeriCorps State & National grant for $207,304 to continue its successful PAVE AmeriCorps tutoring program for the 2013-2014 school year.
The Eldon School District has been awarded an AmeriCorps State & National grant for $207,304 to continue its successful PAVE AmeriCorps tutoring program for the 2013-2014 school year. PAVE AmeriCorps Members provide academic interventions to at-risk students in 4th-12th grade and support Pre-school students to improve school readiness for Kindergarten. The program serves more than 500 district students each year and consistently meets or exceeds all program goals.
"PAVE AmeriCorps Members play a critical role in the support our District provides to students who struggle in school," Eldon superintendent Matt Davis said. "We are excited to receive funding from the Missouri Community Service Commission to continue this important program. "
Across the country, AmeriCorps engages more than 75,000 men and women in intensive service each year at more than 15,000 locations including nonprofits, schools, public agencies and community and faith-based groups across the country. AmeriCorps Members help communities tackle pressing problems while mobilizing millions of volunteers for the organizations they serve. Members gain valuable professional, educational, and life benefits, and the experience has a lasting impact on the Members and the communities they serve.
PAVE AmeriCorps Members must make an eleven-month commitment to the program. In return for their service, members receive a monthly living allowance of approximately $1,100. Additionally, health care coverage is available for those who do not have coverage. Upon successful completion of their term of service, AmeriCorps Members receive a $5,550 education award which can be used to attend college or repay qualified student loans. Members receive comprehensive training and will support numerous community service projects during the year.
'We knew this was going to be a tough year for funding. In fact, three programs were cut in the state of Missouri this year. Due to our performance and to the overwhelming support we have in our community, we are very glad to report that our grant application was fully funded. Recruitment has already begun to fill seventeen full-time tutor positions. Orientation starts on August 5, 2013," said Daphney Partridge, PAVE AmeriCorps Program Director.
For more information or application instructions, contact the PAVE AmeriCorps office at 573.392.8060 X517 or http://paveamericorps.weebly.com.

It was a Sunday, but no one was praying.
Instead, the handful of visitors to a recent open house south of Ottawa were there to see how the former Dunbar Presbyterian Church, built in 1873, had been transformed into a home that blends contemporary zing — an open-concept living/dining area where the congregation once worshipped, granite counters in the kitchen, a tankless hot water system — with the original stained glass and quiet dignity of a rural church.
Like many others, a shrinking congregation had forced Dunbar Presbyterian to close a couple of years ago. The white, steepled building was deconsecrated and sold to an Ottawa man who planned to use it as a stained-glass studio.
He completed extensive renovations to the 3,300-square-foot church, including pine plank and slate flooring and a gleaming new kitchen, but grew impatient waiting for rezoning and built his studio in Ottawa instead.
He put the renovated church, which was never lived in, on the market for $199,900. It sold recently for $196,400.
Heather Pemberton, who grew up on a nearby farm, attended the church for years and was married there three decades ago. She was among those reminiscing at the open house, which attracted mostly former congregants.
"I remember Christmas concerts when I was little and my sister reading a poem at one. We always came for the strawberry socials, too."
Pemberton remembered participating in the walkathons that raised money for the 1986 addition to the rear of the church that now houses the new kitchen and two bright, spacious bedrooms.
I mention to another former congregant that it's better for these churches to be converted to family use, really a microcosm of a larger community and as sacred in its own right as a church family, than to fall into disrepair. He agrees, but says: "It's sad, but it has to be, I guess. We trust in the Lord."
It takes a "particular kind" of person to live in a church, says Theresa Seguin, the Royal LePage agent who sold Dunbar Presbyterian.
Naturally conformist and risk-averse, we humans tend to seek the familiar in everything, including homes.
Churches can be a hard sell, agrees Clayton Olford, a Royal LePage agent in Winchester. He's sold three in the past five years.
"It's always the challenge of finding the young buyers who want to do the work themselves or the older ones with capital to pay for the work."
He says unconverted churches are also hard to finance because conventional lenders don't like offering mortgages on buildings that aren't readily classified.
As well, an uninsulated church — basically a large, open structure — can be expensive to heat.
Sandy Daly, who recently purchased a fully converted 19th-century church in the village of South Mountain, is over the moon with her new home.
"I was looking for something different," she says of her 1,850-square-foot home with a loft and add-on sunroom. "I walked in with the real estate agent and said, 'Yep, let's buy it!' I love it."
Daly, who says she's not religious, paid $230,000 (it was listed at $239,000). Taxes are $2,100 annually and she's converting to natural gas this year. High-speed Internet is also in the plans.
If Daly ever has a question about being a church mouse, she should look up Ian McKelvie and Peggy Malcolm.
The couple raised their two sons in a red-brick former Presbyterian church that they bought in Reid's Mills, a tiny community set amid rolling countryside south of Ottawa, 22 years ago.
McKelvie, now the North American publisher for New Internationalist publications, recalls house hunting and visiting the already-converted church on a February afternoon when the sun was low in the sky.
Pointing to one of the original stained-glass windows in the comfy living room, he says: "I remember coming in and seeing the light shining through that window and thinking, 'Wow, cool, this is different.'
"At first, Peggy said: 'Don't you dare buy that.' But we did. I have a habit of doing unusual things."
Malcolm, a library consultant, says the living room, with its towering, deep red ceiling and brick fireplace bookended by two original pews, is her favourite spot. "It's like a different little world. You can't see out because of the stained glass, so you just forget if it's snowing or raining."
She comes from a long line of church ministers.
"When my grandmother visited us the first time, she said: 'Could you not find any houses around here?' "
McKelvie says strangers, especially visitors to the former church's cemetery just across the road, occasionally rap on the door, curious about the old place and sometimes thinking it's still a church, albeit one that's minus its steeple.
That disappeared years ago, the victim of time's ravages. However, the original tower supporting it remains and McKelvie has transformed that into a tiny, perfect office accessible by a couple of wooden ladders inside the vestibule. With windows on three sides, the office offers stunning views of surrounding farm fields and the cemetery.
"When I'm having a bad day, I look over there," he jokes, glancing at the graveyard, "and I think, 'It could be worse.' "
Turning more serious, he says he relishes living where so many families experienced major events: christenings, marriages, funerals. "Entire lives passed through here."
Back downstairs in the main living section — a wall of books and a covered pool table on one side; on the other, a sitting area and antiques such as a child's ancient rocking chair and a working Victrola handed down from his great aunt — McKelvie opens his collection of documents about the church.
Some of them given to him by former congregants, they help link the building's current owners with its 100-year-plus past.
One document from a church history written in 1914 describes the building as being "worthy the men who put of their earthly substance into its walls." Those men presumably included the congregation's first pastor, the Rev. J.H. Higgins, who oversaw the church's construction and was an "earnest, arduous man of God."
Elsewhere on the main floor, there's a forest green dining room tucked into the former sanctuary and a kitchen that McKelvie and Malcolm have renovated to include a large window looking out over their well-treed backyard toward distant farm buildings.
Upstairs in the loft are the couple's bedroom with a skylight and ensuite and a second bedroom.
The basement, which once housed the Sunday school, is fully finished, including a washroom and third bedroom.
They heat their home, which has been thoroughly insulated, mostly with wood and a pellet stove. Taxes are about $2,700 a year.
There are a surprising number of other former churches in and around Ottawa now serving as homes and more.
Within the city, the former St. Elijah's Antiochian Orthodox Church at Lyon and MacLaren streets is now owned by Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation. Half the building houses women at risk of homelessness while the other half is affordable housing.
Knox Fine Dining, a restaurant in Moose Creek east of Ottawa, was once a United church.
South of town, meanwhile, Dylan and Krista Roberts are slowly converting a former Anglican church to a combination home and arts hub. They live in a rear addition while Dylan teaches drumming in the 19th-century church. His wife hopes to open a pottery studio there as well and the couple has hosted an art show with plans for more.
Says Dylan, a Chesterville native: "We want to make sure that people who have been coming to the church for years can come back and use it this way."

Suspect arraigned in 2001 Milford killing
MILFORD -- A suspect in the 2001 homicide of a pregnant woman in her beach house here has been extradited and was arraigned Wednesday morning in state Superior Court on murder and felony murder charges.
Luis A Rodriguez had been formally charged in the killing of Kelsey Monahon in January 2011 while he was an inmate in a federal prison on unrelated weapons charges. Rodriguez was brought from the prison in El Reno, Okla., by U.S. marshals on Tuesday and turned over to Milford police detectives in New York.
Monahon, 28, was discovered unresponsive in her Shorefront Road home on May 25, 2001 and she died at Bridgeport Hospital three days later. Her death was ruled a homicide by the state medical examiner, who determined that she'd been strangled.
Milford police detectives and investigators from the Cold Case Unit of the office of the chief state's attorney conducted a lengthy probe and were able to get an arrest warrant for Rodriguez issued on Jan. 13, 2011.
Rodriguez, who is now 53, has a long criminal history but no obvious ties to Milford, police said. He was last arrested in Connecticut in 1989 on robbery, burglary and weapons charges, for which he was convicted and served time in prison.
State's Attorney Kevin Lawlor and Milford Police Chief Keith Mello said at a 2011 news conference that although Rodriguez did not have a local address on May 25, 2001, evidence developed by police and the cold-case unit places him in Milford on that day, when Monahon was bound and strangled in the course of an apparent burglary.
"This was not random,'' said Mello, who was the Milford police captain in charge of the detective bureau when the crime was committed.
Police apparently believed early in their investigation that the killer was a Hispanic male. People stopped at a police checkpoint at the beach over that Memorial Day weekend were asked if they'd seen a person fitting that description.
Kelsey Monahon, who was pregnant, had been hog-tied and her home ransacked. There was no evidence of sexual assault, officials said. The victim's husband found her on the floor, unconscious, at 7:40 p.m. and began giving his wife cardiopulmonary resuscitation while he called 911.
Rodriguez faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole if he is convicted.
The felony murder charge is lodged because the murder was committed in the course of another crime, the burglary and robbery, law enforcement officials said.

Former champions Dax Clark, Chris Wilson and Justin Ramer are among those in the field for the 2013 Elks Invitational at Shawnee's Elks Golf Course.
Former champions Dax Clark, Chris Wilson and Justin Ramer are among those in the field for the 2013 Elks Invitational at Shawnee's Elks Golf Course.
The tournament begins at 8 a.m. Saturday with F flight, and the championship flight will tee off at 1:20 p.m.
This is the 53rd edition of the Elks Invitational.
Wilson, a Shawnee product, serves as the assistant men's golf coach at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. He is the defending champion of the Elks Invitational, and is a five-time champion overall.
Wilson forged a day-one four-under 68 in the 2012 tourney, and completed the 54-hole format with a 10-under 206.
Of the 22 members of the 2012 championship flight, Wilson was the only entrant to forge two rounds of under 70 points.
Runner-up Ben Coffee, who will also compete in this year's event, finished the 2012 run at 215. He was the only other member of the flight to have at least one round of under 70 points last year.
Wilson's run at the 2012 title included seven birdies on the final day — on holes 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 16 and 17.
"I played pretty solid every day," Wilson said after winning in 2012. "I hit a lot of really good iron shots. My wedges were really good and I hit close to the flag a lot."
Wilson was up by seven strokes over his closest pursuer after 36 holes.
Joel Driver, also from Shawnee, was third after the 2012 invitational. Driver finished with a 217, 11 strokes out of the lead, with a third-day score of 71.
Pat Collogan was fourth in 2012 at 219.
Driver and Collogan are not in the 2013 field.
Ramer is the 2005, 2009 and 2010 champion, and he finished the 2012 tourney with rounds of 76, 77 and 78 for a 231.
Clark finished at 237 with rounds of 71, 83 and 83.
Other members of the 2013 championship flight are Sam Patton, Mark Balenseifen, Mike Blizzard, Pete Penka, Brant Gear, Mike Cook, Ron Grinnell, Greg Anderson, Robby Komahcheet III, Chad Lawrence, Quintin Nichols, Aaron Stepp, Ralph Shaw Jr., Ernest Willis, Blade Knox, Jerod Niles, Shawn Ramsey and Tyler Hargus.
Wilson's Elks titles came in 2001, 2003, 2008, 2011 and 2012.
The tournament will continue Sunday and conclude Monday, with 18 holes played each day.

LA is a funny food town in some ways. It's an easy place to find a great meal for two for under $30, be it a pastrami sandwich at Langer's, dim sum in the San Gabriel Valley, Thai, Korean or a taco truck taco. It's also easy to find a great meal for over $200 at one of our numerous and growing fine dining establishments, but it's very hard to find a great meal for two for $100. What is an LA couple to do when they want to splurge on a meal without taking out a second mortgage?
For years, a great answer to that question was Pastis, which closed its doors earlier this month. The Beverly Boulevard French restaurant offered up well prepared French dishes at decent prices. A full dinner with apps, desserts and drinks, would run a couple about $100, depending on the price of the drinks.
I particularly loved the profiteroles. Unlike the normal pastry, Pastis profiteroles were more like chocolate wontons, fried wrappers filled with molten chocolate. I also loved the Moroccan mint tea service, which featured a sweet mint tea with pine nuts poured artfully from a few feet above the glass.
Nothing lasts forever, but recently, we've been saying farewell to too many good, reliable venues. I'm sad that Pastis has added its name to the LA restaurant necrology. I'll miss Pastis and the mid-priced niche it filled.

Baseball to play doubleheader Friday
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Due to expected bad weather on Saturday, the Lipscomb baseball team will now play Florida Gulf Coast in a doubleheader on Friday with the first game at 3:30 p.m. at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium.
Friday's contest was originally set for 5 p.m. with the series finale at 10 a.m. on Saturday, but with the chance of bad weather both teams agreed to change.
The Dugan Award will be handed out before the start of the second game.
The Bisons took game one against the Eagles, 11-6, on Thursday. A Lipscomb sweep coupled with a Mercer loss, the Bisons would win the A-Sun and get the No. 1 see in next week's A-Sun Championship.

Well, it's been a while, but I've finally added about 60 more names to the spreadsheet. It's pretty time-consuming, and I just haven't had much time!
The earliest funeral program I've come across is still the one from the 1940s, which I shared in the previous post, however all decades since then are represented in the collection, with persons who were born as early as the 1870's.
Readers, please share the link to this page via social media, especially if your network includes researchers with roots in North Carolina. So far, all of the programs are for African-Americans, but you never know who might have an interest in who! :)
Today's featured program is for Beatrice Holcomb, a distant cousin of mine, whom I never had the pleasure of meeting.
As a reminder, I will gladly scan and mail any of the programs out. Just contact me via the blog for details. :)
I will try to post more names, very soon! Here, again, is the link to the spreadsheet.
Oh! I forgot to mention that I just added the column for place of birth today, when I was for than halfway finished added the newest ones. I'll have to go back and pull out all the others to add the places of birth. Can't do it tonight, but it will be soon!
Permalink to this post: http://genea-related.blogspot.com/2013/12/names-added-to-nc-funeral-programs.html
On this blog you will find postings of all things genealogy! There will be orphan photos, postcards, court records, newspaper clippings, and any other types of documents I might find along my research journey, that I feel might be beneficial to someone else's family history. So, stop by often to see what's new. Perhaps there'll be something genea-related waiting here, just for YOU!
