The Yale women's basketball team (9-7, 1-1 Ivy League) returns to the road with visits to Ivy League rivals Harvard on Friday and Dartmouth on Sunday in hopes of erasing the memories of last week's heartbreaking home loss to Brown. The Bulldogs swept the season series from both teams last season. The win at Harvard last season was Yale's first win in Cambridge since the 2000-01 season, and the wins over Harvard last season were the first for the Bulldogs over the Crimson since the 2007-08 season. Against Dartmouth, Yale has won four straight games over the Big Green by an average margin of 14.5 points.
Scouting Harvard
After starting the season with four losses in its first five games, Harvard (8-7, 1-0 Ivy League) has since won seven of its last 10 games, including wins over Big East power St. John's and a win over Dartmouth in its Ivy League opening game. The Crimson have suffered some tough losses this season, including losses at Providence (which lost to Brown), at Hartford (which lost to St. John's by 25), and at home to Holy Cross (which lost to Yale). However, the Crimson seem to be moving in the right direction. Since the season moved into 2012, Harvard is 3-1, with a loss in its last game to North Dakota. And in the standings that matter, only Harvard and Princeton (3-0) remain undefeated in Ivy League play. Three players are scoring in double figures this season for the Crimson, led by sophomore Christine Clark, who is leading the team in scoring (15.3 ppg.) and rebounds (6.1 rpg.). Senior Brogan Berry is second on the team in scoring (12.7 ppg) and leads the team in assists (4.9 apg.). Junior Victoria Lippert is averaging 11.7 ppg. and 4.7 rpg. As a team, Harvard is leading the Ivy League in field-goal percentage (.416) and free-throw percentage (.787).
Series History
In a series that dates back to the 1974-75 season, the Ivy League's two fiercest rivals have 70 times prior to Friday's game. Harvard leads the all-time series by a 41-29 margin. However, prior to Yale's sweep of the season series last year, Harvard had won the previous four meetings, and 18 of the previous 22. Prior to last year's 78-64 win in Cambridge, Yale's last win at Harvard came on Feb. 17, 2001, 72-61. Yale is 4-8 against Harvard during Chris Gobrecht's tenure as head coach.
2010-11 Series
Yale earned its first-ever trip to the WNIT and just its fourth-ever postseason appearance thanks to its first season sweep of Harvard since the 1993-94 season. Yale handed Harvard its first Ivy League loss of the season in the first meeting last year on Feb. 11, 2011. Janna Graf scored 12 of her game-high 21 points in the second half to help Yale pull out an 82-71 win at home. To close out the sweep, Megan Vasquez scored 15 of her game-high 23 points in the second half to help Yale pull out a 78-64 win over Harvard at Lavietes Pavilion, the Bulldogs' first win at Harvard since Feb. 17, 2001. The win at Harvard gave Yale its ninth Ivy League win, the first time in 22 years that it had won more than eight games in Ivy play.
Berry's Mark on History
In her four seasons in a Harvard uniform, senior guard Brogan Berry has been the Crimson's most reliable player, and she has already cemented her place in Harvard's history, even if she doesn't play another game in her career. Entering the weekend, Berry ranked seventh in Ivy League history and fourth in Harvard's record books with 471 career assists. She is the 10th all-time leading scorer in Harvard's history with 1,262 career points. She needs just 118 more points to break into the Ivy League's all-time top 30, and she is on pace to join Emily Tay '09 (1,263 points, 514 assists) as one of only two players in Harvard's history to surpass 1,200 points and 500 assists.
Home-Court Advantage
Harvard holds a significant advantage on its home court at Lavietes Pavilion. Since the 2008-09 season, the Crimson have tallied a 33-8 record at Lavietes Pavilion, which includes a 17-4 mark in Ivy League play. Harvard had also won seven of its last eight Ivy League contests at home, with Yale handing Harvard its only loss in that span, a 78-64 decision last season.
Counting on Clark
Entering the weekend Christine Clark had scored in double-digits each game this season and in 17 straight dating back to last year. In 43 career games, Clark has scored at least 10 points 36 times and has been limited to under five points only once.
Scouting Dartmouth
Dartmouth started the 2011-12 season at 2-2, but the Big Green have not won a game since a 72-62 win at Vermont on Nov. 22. The 11-game losing streak is the longest in Dartmouth's history. The Big Green has been outscored by an average of 15.9 points per game this season, and it has averaged just 50.8 points per game, while allowing a League-high 66.7 points per game. Dartmouth ranks at the bottom of the Ivy League in several categories, including scoring margin, rebounding (34.5 rpg.), rebounding margin (-6.2), assists (9.7 apg.), steals (6.5 spg.), turnover margin (-7.8), and offensive rebounds per game (9.6). However, the Big Green currently leads the Ivy League in blocks (4.5 bpg.). Dartmouth is looking for its first win at home. Entering the weekend, the Big Green is 0-6 at home with a chance to snap that streak against Brown on Friday before meeting Yale. Junior Faziah Steen leads the Big Green in scoring (15.8 ppg.).
Series History
Dartmouth holds a 50-18 edge over the Bulldogs in a series that dates back to Yale's first season as a varsity program in 1973-74. While Dartmouth holds a 9-5 edge in the last 14 meetings, that run includes four straight Yale wins, including a pair of season sweeps in each of the last two seasons. Yale earned a 66-53 win in New Haven on Feb. 12, 2011, and a 70-45 victory at Dartmouth on Feb. 25, 2011. The Bulldogs started the win streak with a 70-66 double-overtime win at Dartmouth on Feb. 13, 2010, and a 58-42 win in New Haven on Feb. 26, 2010. Dartmouth swept the season series in 2008-09, which includes Yale's last loss in Hanover, a 61-51 defeat on March 6, 2009. The Bulldogs are 5-7 against the Big Green during Chris Gobrecht's tenure as head coach at Yale.
2010-11 Series
Yale swept the series from Dartmouth last season thanks to a pair of impressive displays by the Bulldog offense. In the opening game of the series, Megan Vasquez scored a game-high 21 points, while Janna Graf added 15 points and eight rebounds to lift Yale to a 66-53 win over Dartmouth in New Haven. Mady Gobrecht added eight points, 11 rebounds and a game-high seven assists. To complete the sweep, seven of the eight players who scored in the rematch scored at least eight points to lead Yale to a 70-45 Ivy League win over Dartmouth at Leede Arena. Gobrecht led the starters with 13 points, six rebounds and six assists.
A Legend Joins Big Green
Yolanda Griffith, a women's basketball legend and likely a soon-to-be Hall of Famer, joined the Dartmouth women's basketball team this season as an assistant coach. Griffith, a seven-time WNBA All-Star and a two-time Olympic gold medalist, led the Sacramento Monarchs to the 2005 WNBA championship. She is the WNBA's all-time leader in offensive rebounds with 1,049, and is the only player with over 1,000 offensive rebounds. With 2,444 total rebounds, Griffith ranks fourth on the league's all-time list, eighth in career steals with 529 and ninth in career blocks with 323. Griffith was named to the WNBA's 10th Anniversary All-Decade Team. Griffith played professionally for 16 years on three continents and for five different leagues. Not only did she compete in the WNBA, but also the Euroleague, the American Basketball League (ABL), the Women's Chinese Basketball League and the Women's Korean Basketball League.
Winning Tradition
Every Dartmouth class but one since 1980 has graduated with at least one Ivy League Championship ring. This trend will hold through at least this season. The Big Green will need to win the Ivy League title next season to avoid seeing a second class not win a ring. With only one senior, Sasha Dosenko, who was on that 2009 championship team, and one junior, Faziah Steen, who has yet to win a ring, the Big Green has five freshman and three sophomores who have some time to bring the title back to Hanover.
The Quest for Ivy Glory
The quest for the Ivy League championship is now under way. As the only Division I conference without a postseason tournament, the League's 14-game conference slate becomes the "tournament" to determine which Ivy team wins the title and earns an automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament. The team that finishes the season in second place earns the Ivy League's automatic bid to the Women's National Invitational Tournament. Yale earned its first-ever WNIT bid last season after finishing a program-best 10-4 in league play. The Bulldogs begin Ivy League play at Brown on Friday. Princeton is the two-time defending Ivy League champion. Yale is pursuing its first Ivy League championship since the 1978-79 season, when the league champion was determined in a mid-season tournament.
Last Time Out
Lauren Clarke led all scorers with 15 points and added five rebounds to help Brown take a 60-55 victory and spoil Yale's Ivy League home opener at John J. Lee Amphitheater. It was Brown's first win at Yale since a 64-62 win on Jan. 16, 2009, in the first meeting of the 2008-09 season. Trailing 54-50 in the final minute, the Bulldogs missed an opportunity to climb back into contention when Janna Graf's 3-point attempt rattled in and out of the basket with 49 seconds left on the clock. That forced the Bulldogs to foul every time Brown gained possession to slow the clock and Brown took advantage. The Bears went 6-for-6 from the line in the final 28 seconds to secure their first Ivy League win. Megan Vasquez led Yale with 14 points, while senior captain Michelle Cashen scored 13 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out five assists. She scored 11 of her points in the second half to help the Bulldogs stay within striking distance. However, the Bulldogs made only 19 of their 52 shots (36.5 percent) and they were just 5-for-18 from 3-point range (27.8 percent).
Reaping the Awards
Freshman guard Sarah Halejian scored 13 points to go with three rebounds in a 60-55 loss to Brown last week. On Monday, the Ivy League recognized Halejian's efforts by naming her the Ivy League Co-Rookie of the Week. It is the third consecutive week that Halejian has been named the Rookie of the Week and the fourth time this season. Her 13-point performance was the fourth straight double-digit scoring effort for Halejian and sixth of the season. In the last four games, Halejian has averaged 14.5 points per game.
A Great Ivy Start
Four players scored in double figures to lead Yale to a 75-65 win over Brown in the Ivy League opener for both teams in Providence on Jan. 13. Megan Vasquez scored 23 points to lead the Bulldogs. Sarah Halejian added 18 points. Amanda Tyson came off the bench to record 10 of her 12 points and seven of her eight rebounds in the second half to spark a late rally that lifted Yale to the win. The 12 points, eight rebounds and seven offensive rebounds are all new career-high marks for Tyson. Brown outscored Yale 21-9 over the final 11:21 of the first half to go into the locker room with a 32-31 halftime lead. It was the sixth time this season that Yale had trailed at halftime, but it was only the first time that Yale had won a game when trailing at the half. The Bulldogs used a 10-4 run to open up a 68-61 lead with 1:16 left that secured Yale's first win of the Ivy League season.
Introducing the Class of 2016
Four players will join the Bulldogs' roster as incoming freshman for the 2012-13 season. On Wednesday, Jan. 18, the Bulldogs announced the additions of guards Whitney Wyckoff and Nyasha Sarju, forward Meredith Boardman, and center Elizabeth "Emmy" Allen, who will all join the Bulldogs' roster as freshmen this fall. Allen is a 6-foot-3 center from Overland Park, Kan., who is rated as the 27th top post player in the country by ESPN. Boardman, a 6-foot-1 forward from Oak Park, Ill., who was listed among the Chicago area's top 50 players by both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune. Sarju, a 6-foot-tall shooting guard from Seattle, Wash., who was listed as the 56th best wing player in the country by ESPN. Wyckoff, a 5-foot-9 guard from West Chester, Ohio, was averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 steals, 2.3 assists and 2.0 blocks per game through the first four games of the season at Lakota East high School before suffering a season-ending knee injury. She is expected to return to the court before her arrival at Yale. She was listed as the 77th-ranked off-guard in the country by the College Girls Basketball Report. Wyckoff's sister, Brooke, played nine seasons in the WNBA with the Connecticut Sun, Chicago Sky and Orlando Miracle and is currently an assistant coach at Florida State.
Yale on YES
The YES Network, the broadcast home of the 27-time World Series Champion New York Yankees, will feature Yale's men's and women's basketball teams in a two-game, winter television package. The Yale women's basketball team tips off the Yale on YES package with its Ivy League contest against Dartmouth at the John J. Lee Amphitheater on Friday, Feb. 17. The Yale men's basketball team will close out the package with its home game against Columbia on Friday, Feb, 24. Both games will air live on YES beginning at 7 p.m.
Pair of Awards
After scoring a career-high 18 points to go with three steals in Yale's 75-65 win at Brown on Friday, freshman guard Sarah Halejian was recognized by the Ivy League as its Co-Rookie of the Week. Halejian scored 13 of her 18 points to help lead Yale's second-half comeback in the victory. In addition to Halejian's League honor, junior guard Vasquez was named the Ivy League's Player of the Week by CollegeSportsMadness.com. Vasquez scored a game-high 23 points in the win. Vasquez scored 20 points for the fifth time this season.
Yale Athletics Pink Zones
Yale's game against Columbia on Saturday, Feb. 11 is the main event of Yale's two-day event that is now called "Yale Athletics Pink Zones." The annual fund-raiser, in conjunction with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's "Play 4Kay" initiative, is dedicated to raising awareness and donations for breast cancer research, with Yale's proceeds once again being donated to the Smilow Cancer Hospital. Last year, Yale hosted the most successful Pink Zone weekend since Yale started participating five years ago. The festivities, which will take place throughout Payne Whitney Gymnasium, will once again include a "Battle of the Badges" competition featuring the Yale and New Haven police and fire departments. The Yale gymnastics team will host the Bulldog Invitational, while the women's and men's squash teams will compete against Ivy League rival Harvard on Sunday, Feb. 12. Check YaleBulldogs.com for the full schedule.
Milestone Watch for Vasquez
Junior guard Megan Vasquez has now scored 915 career points. She needs just 85 points to reach 1,000 career points. She has now had five 20-point outings this season, including Holy Cross (23), Marist (21), Houston (22), Boston University (22) and Brown (23). She scored 20 or more points five times previously in her career, all coming last season. Vasquez scored 322 points in her freshman season and 366 points last season. If she approaches her average of 344 points from her first two seasons, she should reach the 1,000-point milestone at some point during the Ivy League season. In doing so, Vasquez will become the 17th player in Yale's history to reach 1,000 career points. The last Bulldog to reach the milestone was Melissa Colborne, who closed out her career with 1,418 points, fifth on Yale's all-time scoring list. If Vasquez continues to maintain her 344-point pace, she would finish in sixth place on Yale's all-time list with 1,376 career points.

Using Microsoft technologies, you can insert, edit, query, and delete database entries using any e-mail client such as Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or even WAP phone. While e-mail is certainly a powerful and widely used tool, it is usually not integrated with an application for performing any tasks other than sending reminders. The application scenario described here, an e-mail-based SQL update program, uses a simple data model; however, this solution will apply to any data model that you are working with. It will also eliminate the need for complex n-tier Internet applications and serves as a low maintenance solution for providing data access.

1% of the population can walk successfully in 6 inch platform heels. The other 99% look clumsy/ scared /ridiculous. If you are in the 1%, and can ROCK those heels, more power to you. But if you cannot walk with confidence and attitude in those shoes, then please, stick to more reasonable shoes. Perhaps with lots of practice and the thumbs up from a trusted friend, you can move up to the elite 1%. But until then just accept that…WE ARE THE 99%

(This reminds me of the story of a friend's daughter. When she was a teenager, there was one night she wore high heels out. She was walking along a city sidewalk with her family, and feeling very grown up and sophisticated and all that...until a homeless man jumped up in front of her saying "please, honey, just wear some shoes you can walk in.")

The zombies hstod were like the zombies in Night of the Living Dead (if I remember that movie correctly) and basically just attracted to living creatures. Kinda like undead heat-seaking missles.
Poi is the new Desu!
I'm gotta guess that the manga for this series is alot better although I've not read it.
I watched this about a year ago and thought was ok although some of the episodes were a bit clichy imo. The OVA sucks thou as it's mainly parody. Hope to see season 2 of this if possible.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
Its a campy fanservice anime. Its not meant to be taken totally seriously.

Didn't really take the series seriously at all.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
I'm just waiting for the manga to finally end it's hiatus again then the announcement of a second season officially.
I found this review of High school of the Dead by maximum Weeaboo. Its pretty good. they pretty much bash the show on how much fan service they try and cram into an episode and get away with it. lol. the guy that is obsessed with guns is funny as hell
here the short link
Well let me tell you I was at the panel ( near the front) of the High School of the Dead , the production company , and all the staff were there And they are all men...ok... . Even the director and the animation designer was there enspite of their busy schedule and yes they really factored in the a lot of fanservice as much as the manga.
I do wish they have serious only episodes but the fanservice was there 75 percent of the time.I do admit I like the Matrix episoode.
And when they asked the crowed, Do you want a second season ? A loud roar of YEAH !!!!Yes!!!! filled the huge councourse Hall at LACC.I think we we will be seing a second season.
And in that panel, the audience where mainly guys .
Hey man, lots like zombies no matter what.
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
In answer to OP If I were in komuro's shoes I'd be hitting Busujima any spare second I could. Seriously, she is too sexy!
I don't know how I feel about an HotD game though... Best case I think It might be decent as a visual novel but aside from something like a dead rising or newer RE clone I just have a hard time envisioning how it would play.
Well, at the very least here's to hoping the manga gets back in production. The anime seems secondary to me since most of the fan service is going to be "white beamed" out anyways and I've already read those parts
Nakama mada irukara. Sorede iie
There is still a good amount of material left in the manga. They should really continue this series. I loved this show; ridiculous, funny, baddasss shows.
I will get Diamond AR....I will
well seen series als with english dub it ok give wonder pull s2 someday?
give WHAT is that beach ep whole "revolution" nuff said.
it's boobs and zombie killing. . . what more could a teenage boy want?
i would get funky with some female zombies
Guest passes!! <3
redirected from http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-776769/high-school-of-the-dead
HotD. It was fun but lacked everything apart from ecchi and zombie killing. Then again. That's all you need for a triple A ranked anime these days. If I was the main character I probably wouldn't have done anything different to be honest.
TheAncientOne wrote:
why wouldn't they spend a lot of time biting into each other? Obviously they would have had some way to discern themselves from the living.
the zombies do eat each other. it was in episode 1. zombies eat each other, but humans are priority.
and by the way if you're interested in HOTD you can join my active group, highschool of the dead (HOTD). season 2 is also coming soon, in early 2013 iv'e heard.
I'm hardly active.

Nurses: Background
Nurses have traditionally been less politically active, and more Democratic-leaning, than some of their colleagues in the medical field. But, faced with uncertainties related to the Affordable Care Act's implementation and painful cost-cutting measures in hospitals, they are mounting a more active political front.
Nurses -- along with most other health professionals -- supported the Affordable Care Act, but were disappointed in many respects by the health care overhaul. Though they campaigned for a single-payer option, the law, signed in March 2010, opted instead for an individual mandate coupled with insurance subsidies. They also lobbied to be listed in the legislation alongside doctors as primary-care providers, hoping to make up for the shortage of doctors in a revamped system. The reform ultimately included a $28 million scholarship program for nurses, doctors and dentists, to obtain primary care certification. Nurses have also been vocal supporters of Medicaid expansion, a provision of the Affordable Care Act that that has been left up to the states.
As many features of the Affordable Care Act are still being fleshed out by states, hospitals and insurance companies, nurses have pursued their advocacy efforts . After an uptick in contributions from the industry during the 2008 cycle -- when political donations reached close to $3.2 million to candidates, parties and political action committees -- nurses have maintained a relatively high level of spending. During the 2012 cycle, political expenditures totaled about $2.5 million. Lobbying, which reached a peak $5.6 million in 2010, has since tapered down but remained above the $4 million mark.The trajectory of nurses' political contributions may indicate, though, that they have become disenchanted with the rollout of the ACA. During the 2010 cycle, 65 percent of the industry's donations went to Democrats. In the following midterm elections, nurses only sent 56 percent of their political gifts to Democrats.
Instead, nurses have consolidated their labor force to push for better job security at a time when cash-strapped hospitals are cutting down on costs and personnel. In 2009, three nurses' unions joined to form the National Nurses United, which is outfitted with a PAC and super PAC. The union started doling out political gifts to largely Democratic candidates in the 2010 midterm elections, spending close to $24,000 to oppose Republican candidate Sharron Angle in her unsuccessful Nevada Senate run. In the 2012 cycle, the union's PAC gave about $71,000 to candidates, while its super PAC spent upwards of $570,000 to influence elections. And NNU also made noise on the pavement : in 2010, it organized protests and strikes across the country, including a one-day strike of 12,000 nurses in Minneapolis that was billed as the largest in U.S. history. In February 2013, another major union, the National Federation of Nurses, announced plans to join forces with the American Federation of Teachers.
Since 1990, the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists has competed with the ANA as the industry's top contributor to federal candidates, committees and parties. In 2013, these organizations were also the industry's largest lobbying groups, with the ANA spending $1.6 million and the nurse anesthetists pending $940,000 of the industry's total of $4.5 million for the year.

Best Kids Parties: Boxes & Balls
Name: Hattie, 1
Location: Richmond, VA
Since babies always end up playing with the box that a toy came in (more than the toy itself) and because our daughter loves anything that rolls, it seemed fitting to have a "Boxes and Balls" theme for Hattie's first birthday.
We thankfully knew someone that worked at an appliance store, so we were able to get more appliance boxes than we could possibly need. We built two castles with a tunnel that connected the two. The tunnel was a big hit with the kids and resulted in many crawling traffic jams. We also had another box house with a door that swung open.
To incorporate balls into our party we had a baby pool that we filled with plastic balls. I also made a ball-shaped pinata for the kids to destroy.
In line with our simple theme, we kept the food simple. We had fried chicken with all of the typical southern side dishes. I made the cake and a small smash cake for Hattie to dig into.
The party favors were milk and cookies. The cookies were placed into cardboard colored take-out boxes that were lined with cardboard shreds. The take-out boxes had pink and yellow flags attached to the handles to incorporate our pink and yellow color scheme.
Hattie may not remember this party but it is something that her fathere and I will never forget. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect baby or more perfect 1st birthday.
Thanks, Amber!

Hachette Book Group said Thursday it has scrapped its proposed three-way deal that would have had it buying the publishing division of the Perseus Book Group, while selling Perseus' client-service business to leading distributor Ingram Content Group.
Hachette said the deal was scuttled after the three sides failed to resolve all the issues needed to complete the complex transaction. The three had jointly announced the deal in June.
Continue Reading Below
Hachette, whose authors include James Patterson, J.K. Rowling and Malcolm Gladwell, has been in contentious negotiations with Amazon.com, which has slowed shipments, reduced discounts and removed pre-order buttons for numerous Hachette releases.
Hachette's acquisition of Perseus could have increased its bargaining position with Amazon, which is reportedly seeking a larger cut of e-book sales and numerous other changes in contract terms. Perseus has a wide range of nonfiction imprints and has partnerships with The Daily Beast and The Weinstein Company, among others. Its books have included H.G. Bissinger's "Friday Night Lights" and Samantha Power's Pulitzer Prize-winning "A Problem from Hell."

STEWART AIRPORT — The New York Air National Guard told 71 members of the 105th Airlift Wing on Tuesday that their jobs are being eliminated come March.
STEWART AIRPORT — The New York Air National Guard told 71 members of the 105th Airlift Wing on Tuesday that their jobs are being eliminated come March.
The layoffs are because of the unit's switch in missions from flying C-5As to the newer C-17s.
The C-17s are smaller and thus require fewer crew members to staff and maintain them.
Eric Durr, a spokesman for the state Division of Military and Naval Affairs, said the 105th will have 219 fewer staffers by the end of March.
The 105th has about 1,200 employees. Of those, 643 are full-time, and 424 of them will remain.
The other 148 workers affected by the reduction in force already have taken steps such as transferring to another air wing in New York, applying for vacancies in units outside the state, or retiring.
The 219 employees are all full-timers. Many are technicians with dual status who work as civilians during the week and as military personnel during training weekends.
A source in the 105th's maintenance division, who has spoken previously to the Times Herald-Record about the layoffs on the condition that he not be named, said the notices were given to those with the lowest scores on their annual job performance appraisals.
Durr said there has been "plenty of notification" and other efforts to assist employees facing layoffs, including retraining opportunities, job fairs, publicizing openings in and outside the state, and webinars.
There was no legal requirement for the six-month notices issued Tuesday.
"It's just the New York Air National Guard trying to be proactive, trying to be a good employer," Durr said.
The switch to C-17s has been described by military officials and others as a necessity to ensure the 105th remains a vital part of the Air Force.
The C-5As, which the unit was already flying when it was transferred to Stewart Air National Guard Base in 1985, date back to the late 1960s.
The oldest C-17s in the Air Force fleet are only 20 years old.
Their smaller size gives them more flexibility: They can land and take off on shorter runways. They also require a minimum crew of only three — two pilots and a loadmaster — but 105th officials told the Record earlier this year they plan to have as many as five or six on most flights.
C-5As generally had seven crew members aboard each flight.

Blu offers fusion in a club setting
A fleet of flat screens pulsates with abstract cobalt-blue and black patterns over the dining room at Blu, the self-described "Euro-Asian" restaurant in Sugar Land Town Square. Inside, diners cluster at awkwardly narrow two-top tables that, come late in the evening, are pushed back to create a dance floor in the center of the room.
The place seems to teeter uncomfortably between restaurant and nightclub, and the food and menu inhabit the same nebulous territory as the design does. Chef Junnajet Hurapan, who did a nice job for Gigi Huang at her upscale dumpling house and Asian bistro in the Galleria, is in charge of the kitchen here, and he offers a little bit of something for everyone. There's the rub.
In addition to the Thai and Thai-inflected Chinese dishes that are Hurapan's specialties, Blu serves snacky Tex-Mex items and even a Middle-Eastern sally or two. Caesar salad? Check. Sliders? Check again. The menu feels so disjointed, jumping from satay to nachos to tzatziki and back around the globe again, that the mind's palate fairly reels.
Try a 3-star restaurant: Modern Peruvian thrills at Alma Cebiche
It would take crack execution and an unfaltering point of view to pull off such a global high-wire act, but unfortunately, aside from a handful of dishes, Blu does not represent Hurapan's best work. When lightning strikes, a dish such as his char-grilled beef salad, jumping with fish sauce and lime and the crunch of toasted rice rubble, can make you happy you've come.
So can a bowl of mussels wok-steamed with a lemony white wine sauce sharpened with ginger and Thai basil. I loved it - until I hit a mussel so bad that I had to spit it into my napkin.
Even so, I appreciated the fact that the mussel dish wasn't overly sweet, because sugar insufficiently balanced by acid and/or salt is the dominant flavor profile at Blu.
I noted in my review of Gigi's Asian Bistro a little more than four years ago that Asian fusion was "often an excuse to serve sweet, sweet dishes on the (depressingly correct) theory that that's what Americans want." While I found that Hurapan (or "chef Jett," as he is popularly known) tended to cook on the sweet side at Gigi's, his skill at balancing flavors gave his sweet dish an unusual appeal.
That deft touch seems to have vanished in his new restaurant. The Massaman short rib curry for which he is celebrated was too sweet for me to eat more than a few bites, although the beef was nicely braised. All the glazed carrots, red onion flaps, fingerling potatoes and peanuts in the world couldn't clamber from the sugary clasp of tamarind-coconut curry sauce.
Wok-tossed noodle dishes had similar sugar problems. I applauded the intricate and distinct textures of Jett's pad Thai, the classic rice noodle dish; but I deplored the fact that I had to ask for extra lime segments to balance out the dish so it wasn't too sweet for me to eat. The same thing happened with what might have been a good rendition of drunken noodles laced with Thai basil and tender slices of chicken: I asked for more lime wedges, and received fruit that was so desiccated it must have been left over from the previous evening's cocktail service.
That was at lunch, when there's an attractively priced $12 prix fixe with lots of choices. But the steak tacos I ordered for a lark came to the table wrapped in corn tortillas as stiff and dried out as those poor little lime wedges, so that decent meat and caramelized onion counted for naught. A little cup of guacamole with a faint brown refrigerator tint wasn't any help, either.
A Crispy Fish filet from the lunch menu was skillfully cooked but trounced by too-sweet tamarind-and-chile sauce that even a batch of melted cherry tomatoes couldn't balance out. The Crispy Red Snapper from the dinner menu proved a better option, the whole fish curved dramatically around fried pieces of filet carved from its sides, a signature Jett presentation that still has the power to impress. Perhaps one of the line cooks had a heavier hand with fish sauce than the noontime cook, because the tamarind-chile sauce, while sweet, was not cloying. (At $27, that seemed a mercy.)
Two of the better dishes I've sampled at Blu have been soups from the lunchtime prix fixe menu: a zippy tom yum snapping with hot chile and lime; and a multidimensional black bean potion shimmering with dark bay flavor and mined with pinpoint of tart sautéed vegetables.
And Hurapan remains good at the dumplings that were a mainstay in his Gigi's days. Chicken-ginger potstickers had both edge and crunch; shrimp siu mai were gentle successes; and sticky tapioca wrappers holding mashed edamame were wonderful one night and overwhelmed by truffle-oil-butter the next, when you could smell the truffle oil out in the dining room before the dumplings left the kitchen.
The curious thing to me is that chef Hurapan has not capitalized better on his fusion ideas. Sweet potato samosas sound amusing, but they are filled with a puree that is sweetly one-dimensional, and wrapped in relatively uninteresting won-ton-type wrappers, so that their Sriracha dipping sauce ends up being the most compelling thing on the plate. And if you're going to try tacos, give them a twist - not to mention a decent tortilla.
This chef is capable of more. I can taste in a deeply caramelized stir-fry of eggplant loaded with Thai basil, red onion and melty cherry tomatoes, the sweetness of its glaze lifted by the strong herbal twinge and a deep chile warmth. It works in a way too many of the sweet dishes at Blu don't.
I don't even want to think about the dreary wine-by-the glass list or the condition the wines are served in. Twice the wine I ordered has not been available; and twice a sparkling wine arrived at the table in a dejected, over-the-hill state.
Far better to pick from the lively craft beer list, which is in tune with the smart selections that prevail along this particular Town Square restaurant row. The presence of Flying Saucer and its dazzling draft selection at the end of the block has nudged the neighbors to up their game, so that ordering beer is a pleasure at Blu and its neighbor Guru Burgers, while wine service still struggles.
What I like about Blu, aside from my handful of favorites cherry-picked from the menu, is the way it meshes with the street life on its block. Even in chilly weather, the moving glass panels that front the soaring space are pushed back to connect with an outdoor terrace and the passing sidewalk parade. I'll gladly trade the occasional draught of cold air for the sense that I'm connected to a "main street mall" that is actually alive, and being used by the varied population of Sugar Land as it was intended to be.
There's potential for this concept in this space, but there's plenty of room for editing and refinement at Blu, too.

Communism vs. freedom – which is real revolution?
Exclusive: Marisa Martin discusses conflicted art of Mexico, U.S.
I've been spending a little time far south of the border in a land of mariachi bands, fake designer goods, Zapatistas and a host of dead revolutionaries.
In Guadalajara their memories never die. Great looming monuments dominate city blocks and government buildings, and museums enshrine Miguel Hidalgo, Poncho Villa, Emiliano Zapata and the artists who immortalized them. It's impossible not to compare the enduring patriotism in Mexico with the United States when it's coming at you from all sides – and when art, specifically, has played such a role in Mexico's revolutions.
Muralist Jose Clemente Orozco stands alongside statues of Hildago and other statesmen in the Rotonda de los Heroes Ilustres in central Guadalajara. Poet Enrique González Martinez and several priests are also household names here. Oddly, separation of church, state and culture is neither as severe nor as delineated as the U.S., in spite of their Marxist-driven independence battles and revolution.
Of the famed Mexican Social-Realist muralists whose works are practically idolized here, José Clemente Orozco is the most complex and contemplative. Compatriots David Siqueiros and Diego Rivera were both hard core and unswerving Marxist-Stalinists their entire lives, using art flagrantly and militantly as political propaganda. Orozco was publically supportive of the philosophy but personally reserved in its praise. He was also suspicious and critical of extreme ideologies and political movements.
Orozco's murals, such as "The Trench," illustrated the treachery and destruction he witnessed in the 1910-1920, Marxist-tinged revolution.
David Craven writes that the "emotional register … [of 'The Trench'] is almost unattained by any other twentieth century artist."
Orozco 's bloody shadows, strong contrasts and diagonal movement make you feel off-balance at times. He used machinery to symbolize militaristic greed and violence even in the People's Revolution, while Rivera and Siqueiros, leftist to the core, tolerated no criticism of revolutionary misdeeds in their work.
Mexico's George Washington, Miguel Hidalgo, is honored by Orozco with an enormous, reverential mural winding up the walls of Governor's Palace here. He portrays the founder of Mexican Independence with great dignity, although heaps of bodies surrounding him attest to the tragic cost of the effort.
Beneath the towering Hidalgo, a telling assortment of actors tell a more complete story of Mexico's revolutions and Orozco's mixed feelings about them. Anarchists and Marxists with nasty expressions (evidenced by red-hats, hammers and sickles) simultaneously sport swastikas or weapons. Revolutionary crowds are confused and hideous with torn loyalties and self-interest, rife with genocidal infighting. Orozco spared no one and no pet group escaped his critical eye.
Jesus and sundry priests regularly appear in Orozco's work, but he shows surprising respect and restraint for a "Marxist" painter. Priests may accompany Conquistadors, but Orozco was hardly a sloganeering reactionary, using the cross only as a symbol of oppression.
Guadalajara's grand Hospicio Cabañas, originally built by the church to house orphans and the poor is now the background for Orozco's greatest mural works. Remaining true to the spirit of the place, the artist sympathetically portrays founder Bishop Juan Ruiz de Cabañas as a sheltering, great and kind-hearted man of the people in the monumental series of paintings (1937-1939).
Christ-like, almost unearthly Franciscan monks also populate Orozco's work at the Governors' Palace and elsewhere. These are among his most powerful and moving images. Orozco's sympathy for the suffering and poor was his major theme and personal interest. He resisted his contemporaries' pressure to politicize misery and reaped some scorn and professional rejection because of it.
Since Orozco's death the situation has reversed, with critics acknowledging him as Mexico's greatest artist but one rift with conflicts. Orozco's paintings war with each other, some even on the same wall. A modern and hopeful allegory morphs into another, which graphically records the brutality of the Revolution.
Writer Thomas Sowell offers what may lay behind Orozco's dilemma. He divides the world's philosophies and religions into two camps, tragic and utopian. In the first humans are flawed, weak and inherently selfish, hardly captains of their own ship. By contrast utopians think everything can be fixed, even human nature and sin, generally by education and social agreements – classical liberalism. Orozco was torn between the promised Marxist paradise his peers fought for and tragedies he personally observed and couldn't honestly deny.
Three times he painted a masculine, husky and resurrected Christ destroying His cross among his murals. This "cross" is a massive marble one, fallen on a heap of official-looking buildings and wreckage, symbols of institutions, governments and what Jesus labeled "the world."
Sweeping in from the left, a mass of fire devours icons of ideologies and oppression. Orozco's "Christ" is a powerful emancipator who is allied to the people and won't play dead. This is a truly revolutionary image.
By contrast, American artists rarely deal with truly epic themes now or over the last 60 years. Struggles against clearly delineated good and evil are passé and left for more trivial and entertaining subjects. Who wants to think that hard anyway, not to mention the possibility of alienating or offending someone?
Contemporary artists who use the terminology "good" and "evil" – such as Gloria Garfinkle's show a few years back – generally require reams of artist statements to qualify their work to viewers. In Garfinkle's case, she used highly patterned work surrounding photos of time spent in Bali.
In her words: "Good & Evil" alludes to the Hindu/Buddhist belief system where good exists simultaneously with evil within all persons. It is up to the person to focus on the good and to mitigate against evil impulses."
Is it just me, or is Garfinkle obfuscating the entire subject, while feigning to have something to actually say about it? Otherwise I'm certain her photos are very nice.
In defense of liberal artists, most actually do believe in absolute evil; George Bush is the icon of unspeakable evil and the fount of all social and political evil from about 1946 (his birth ) to now. Ask Obama.
For the most part it's been considered provincial and terribly gauche to even hint at patriotism or extol the Founders of the U.S. republic (with a few exceptions). Why such a different take when we have a perfectly respectable revolution of our own? I have a few guesses.
The (North) American Revolution just slightly preceded and avoided the pre-Marxist series of disasters in France. Affected liberation zeal and the same philosophers, Americans avoided genocidal infighting and self-exaltation of our leaders. Even more so, American colonists conspicuously spoke of, wrote on and prayed to God for guidance – even officially and in public!
Perhaps religion and allusions to God bring such a stench to the godless that they can't bring themselves to acknowledge any benefits they might gain by it – a sort of social schizophrenia that some liberals are prone to, like refusing to breathe free air because someone may have prayed over it. It's their loss and sometimes ours.

28 January 2013
Once again, we catch up with Future Shop ConnectPro head installer, Benson John and his team for part two of the audio install on the Scion FR-S project car. Previously, the team upgraded the head unit, component speakers and internal wiring, while JRP Inc. took care of the suspension, air intake and exhaust upgrades. For part two, the ConnectPro guys will install an Infinity Kappa Series 10-inch 100.9 watt subwoofer and Infinity Kappa FIVE Amplifier.
Infinity boasts innovative materials and breakthrough engineering, making it an easy decision for the FR-S upgrade. The 10-inch 100.9 watt subwoofer offers two and four ohms options for the two most popular subwoofer impedances, while the amp offers a 12 dB per octave electronic crossover, allowing you to optimize speaker performance based on type and placement.
Before we classify this install as officially complete, let's take a look at the process. Thanks again to the ConnectPro crew and all the sponsors who have helped create one of the most impressive project cars of 2012.
1. The trunk is stripped of all necessary wiring for the sub and amplifier, before being reassembled.
2. A custom speaker box is built after measuring the right side of the trunk, where the sub will be placed.
3. Once the measurements are complete, the box is cut, glued together with industrial wood glue, screwed with wood screws for extra strength, then sealed using silicon. This will prevent air from escaping the box. The box is then covered in carpet to match the trunk interior. Once the box is finished, it is left to cure for two days.
*Quick Tip: When deciding on speaker box dimensions, it comes down to personal sound preference. For more bass, you may want a larger box. Before securing the box to the trunk, make sure it suits your preferred tastes.
5. Before attaching the wiring, the amp is fastened to a custom amp board. The board was also carpeted to blend with the trunk interior.
*Quick Tip: When deciding on amp placement, think about how you use your trunk. Would you like to utilize the space? Your best bet may be to fasten the amp to the back of the back seats. There is also a good chance the amp screw holes don't match any factory ones in your trunk, so a custom board is a good option.
6. In this case, the owner did not want to drill into the frame of the vehicle, so the amp is screwed into the factory holes on the trunk ceiling between the two rear speakers.
7. Once the amp is fastened, it is connected to the wiring before the wiring is connected to the battery.
*Quick Tip: Your last step should always be attaching the wire to the battery. This will prevent damage to the battery or audio equipment.

Simply put: I have no idea and I'm not going to try to answer these questions any more. Here's why:
For as long as I have been involved with X-Plane, Laminar Research has provided free patches to the simulator throughout a major version run, and those patches have included not only performance enhancements and bug fixes, but also major new features.
So the question "will X-Plane 10 have X" can really mean one of two things:
- Will X-Plane 10.0 have feature X immediately 'on the DVD'?
- Will X-Plane 10.x ever have feature X in a free patch before the major version run is over.
Consider 64-bit - it's something we want to look at during the version 10 run but we're not going dig into it until after we get 10.0 out. So will 10.0 be 64-bit? No. But there will probably be a 64-bit patch available for free. I think you can see why I don't want to post "X-Plane 10 will not be 64 bit."
I cannot possibly answer the second question, because versions run over several years, and what we code for the end of the version run will depend on market conditions and technology that don't exist now. One of the nice things about patching X-Plane frequently is that we can revise our plans as conditions change.
Consider the question "how many cores will X-Plane 8 utilize" had you asked the question during X-Plane 8.0. When X-Plane 8.0 came out, the answer was "only one" and we had no road-map to change that. For that matter, multi-core machines were rare and exotic beasts at the time, so multi-core wasn't a priority.
Within the three years of X-Plane 8's major version run, we ended up supporting multi-core for scenery mesh loading, something that couldn't have been easily predicted at the beginning of the version run.
Finally, a note on release planning: now is absolutely not a good time to ask for features. The features that will ship in X-Plane 10.0 have already been determined, and since we'd like to ship X-Plane 10 sooner rather than later, I don't think there's anything you can say that would make us add a feature to 10.0.
All future features are going into a 10.x "bucket" for planning purposes. Since Austin, Chris and I are up to our eyeballs in code and the art team is red-lined too, we're not spending any time sifting through 10.x buckets right now. If you send us a feature request, the very best case is that we dump it in a holding list for later; the worse case is that we lose track of the request in the chaos.
That doesn't mean that we don't care about 10.x. It's just that we are very much heads down in the 10.0 release now and won't look up until it's done.

One other option is to leave it open in full sun for a few days. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant" but it also got the stank out of this one temperpedic pillow that hadn't been, er, washed in a while.
Try using a solution of baking soda...lots of it, and leave it sit for a couple days. Then dump and leaveopen in the air. You can rinse later. Baking soda is a remarkable odor eliminator. It's cheap, and you've nothing to lose but a little time. Good luck.
Try putting a half gallon of bleach in a full cooler of water and let it sit for a day. If that doesn't get rid of the funkiness nothing will.

There are seriously not enough hours in the day to maintain a significant presence on all the social networks out there. So it's a little aggravating when one member of the social media regime steps up its email notifications, like LinkedIn has recently.
Back in November, LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner denied that the company was sending an abnormally large number of emails. He said, "People feel like they're seeing more email, but that's not really the case." I'm not sure about that.
Maybe I expect a little more out of LinkedIn. But in the last couple of days, I got a congratulatory email telling me that I was "one of the top 5% most viewed LinkedIn profiles for 2012!" This I seriously doubt. I'm wondering if this is not some kind of a psychological play on their part. In other words, if you find out you're good at something that you didn't know about, then it gives you a little boost to go look at it again. And there's a click for LinkedIn. But then I'm cynical.
One thing that I may be cynical about that deserves the cynicism is the new LinkedIn "endorsement." LinkedIn now allows anyone to endorse anyone for their skills. I've always looked at LinkedIn as Facebook's employed cousin so it was a little disconcerting to all of a sudden start getting email notifications that people were "endorsing" me who A) had already endorsed me with something written in the past, B) who haven't work with me in 165 years, or C) were complete strangers who wouldn't be able to recognize one of my skills in a police lineup. In other words, something that had some meaning at one point is now completely meaningless. It is now the equivalent of a Facebook "Like."
And last, I think LinkedIn has played one of the lowest cards in the spam book. On your LinkedIn home page, you'll find a little mention of something like, "Your profile has been viewed by 5 people in the past 7 days," or "You have shown up in search results 21 times in the past 7 days." This is followed by a promo for LinkedIn Premium. Surely if the LinkedIn folks have a fully fleshed out product they've labeled Premium, then they could highlight some of its other features, perhaps those that appeal to a more professional need than to see who's been stalking you. I don't like a professional organization whose come-ons pertain to the lowest common denominator, especially when it has better things to brag about.

Consistency can be a double edged sword. Some will extol it as a virtue, a workman's approach to one's craft, refining and improving a specific template, sound or set of ideas. Others will decry it, arguing it exhibits a lack of imagination, a refusal to take risks, at worst equating it with stagnation and lack of growth. It's a term that has oft been levelled at Pinback throughout their 13 year career – predominately as praise, but occasionally with disdain.
Ultimately, it may boil down to whether you liked them or not in the first place as to which context you'd use the term in relation to their fifth full-length Information Retrieved. But even the most ardent of fans may find themselves somewhat irked to be given essentially the same album, from the same band for the fourth time.
Despite its five year gestation period little has been added or detracted to Pinback's signature sound. It's still mid-tempo, gentle indie-rock complete with programmed drums, dual vocals and songs that softly swell and recede rather than rise and fall. The most obvious stylistic departure is their decision to discard the seasonal themed titling present on their previous records, 2004's Summer In Abaddon and 2007's Autumn Of The Seraphs - not exactly an apostasy. In short, it's business as usual.
Opener 'Proceed to Memory' exhibits Rob Crow and Zach Smith's vocal interplay with plenty of 'woah-ohs' and faded shouts over a bed of rolling, programmed percussion and gentle chiming riffs. It's one of the more dynamic tracks present, yet still feels determinedly placid. 'Glide' opens with a chirpy riff but fails to find its footing, drifting aimlessly through a toothless bridge and chorus. The most violent thing about 'Denslow, You Idiot!' is its punctuation and closer 'Sediment' fails to do anything interesting with its length – at five minutes long you'd have thought they could have at least ended the record with some perfunctory post-rock climax or extended jam, anything at all to provide the slightest bit of variation. But no, it fades away indifferently in another wave of soft vocal harmonies and gentle percussion.
You could argue I'm attacking the very things that make Pinback special. I'd argue these things aren't special, that others do them better. Stars Of Track And Field imbued an admirable amount of dynamism and tenderness into their electronica tinged 'Centuries Before Love And War' and The Shins embody American indie rock purity as fully as Pinback, but actually write memorable, diverse songs. Pinback's oft admired consistency is little more than treading water. Fourth track 'Sherman' finds Crow asking "Is there another side to your story?/Is there something you're not telling me?". Turning the question back on Pinback themselves elucidates a depressing response; no.

of Homeownership Opportunities
See also: The City of Madison's American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) Program
Preferences ||| Conditions ||| Activities
These activities expand homeownership opportunities and strengthen current neighborhoods through encouragement of affordable owner-occupied housing, home buying, and expansion of ownership/tenure options. These activities generally help improve both the affordability for purchase by moderate-income homebuyer households and/or the physical status of the housing stock available to first-time homebuyers. The active activities include various forms of alternative ownership such as rent-to-own, land trusts, self-help, downpayment subsidies, construction of new units, or renovation of housing stock for purchase. These activities address Objective B in the Five-Year Plan and are generally targeted to those households in the 50-80% of median range. The long-term target goal is to maintain or increase the rate of homeownership in the lower income non-University neighborhoods to 90% of the Citywide average for ownership. The national benchmark for ownership is a 68% average.
Funds will be targeted to the acquisition, construction or renovation of housing that will be made available to eligible households for purchase of the housing units. The Commission may use a portion of the funds available from certain funding sources (ADDI, HCRI) to provide downpayment and closing cost assistance in order to promote opportunities for first-time homebuyers or longer-term affordability.
The 2005 City objective is to help at least 67 households move into affordable ownership positions.
For information on how to submit a proposal in this category, click here.
The Commission will give preference to homeownership activities that are designed to assure a period of housing affordability that is greater than HOME affordability requirements, or create new units through new construction or conversion of commercial property to homeowner units.
Funds may be used
only for housing units which do not
exceed the HOME purchase price or value limit designated by the Federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For non-HOME funded
activities, CD staff may recommend and the Commission may approve individual
exceptions in cases involving hardship or in cases involving housing built
at part of the City's Inclusionary Zoning requirements.
The CD Office
will consider an investment of up to a level of $44,400 per housing unit
(approximately 24% of the HOME single-family value limit, a benchmark
standard that will change over time), and will evaluate all proposals based
on the activity's contribution and "value added" to increase the
housing stock, upon activity need, and availability of resources to
determine the appropriate level of funding. The CD
Office will give consideration to the higher end of this $44,400 limit per unit
when the proposal meets the preferences stated above (creates new units
through construction or conversion of commercial property to housing).
Activities which incorporate accessibility into the design or involve lead paint reduction or assure housing affordability that is greater than HOME affordability requirements shall be considered for amounts greater than $44,400 per unit based on increased costs to provide these features, up to a maximum total of $50,00 per unit.
This maximum sum of $50,000 per unit will include the total of all funds provided by the CD Office including, but not limited to, CDBG, HOME, Housing Trust Fund and TIF 10% set-aside. The CD Office may also offer a higher amount per unit as temporary financing to reduce holding costs.
may not exceed a total secured funds-to-value
ratio greater than 115% from all sources. (Projects where a
community land trust serves as owner of the underlying land will be permitted to
meet a higher ratio of 125% secured funds-to-value ratio for the entire project
of land and property, or 150% of secured funds-to-value ratio for the land alone if the ground lease meets the conditions of affordability and 100% of
the full value of the land is secured by a mortgage to the City.) CD Office
loans retained in an assisted property for an individual household may not
exceed a loan-to-value ratio of 100% from all sources. The CDBG Commission
will establish additional policies on subordination and sales to
second-generation buyers of CD-funded properties.
minimum of 85% of all funds received shall be applied to capital
costs including acquisition and closing costs, rehabilitation,
labor and materials, design and engineering costs and relocation
costs. A maximum of 15% of the total CD Office funds received
may be applied to staffing and other service delivery costs.
Activities involving the training of lower income individuals and
which lead to employment or higher education may apply up to 50%
of funds to staffing, legal or other development associated
The CD Office shall secure its funding for capital costs with a mortgage in the form of a non-recourse loan. Funds will be provided in the form of a long-term deferred loan, payable upon sale of the property or change in the use of the property. The mortgage will require a repayment equal to the amount of CD Office funds invested, or the percent of appraised value which the CD Office funds represent in the value of the property, whichever is higher.
Ongoing / currently funded activities in this category include:
City CDBG: Housing Development Fund (Homeownership)
City CDBG: Housing Trust Fund
City CED Unit: Home-Buy
Common Wealth Development: Affordable Homeownership
Movin' Out, Inc.: Homeownership Program
Operation Fresh Start: Employment and Training through Rehab

I've always wondered if there will ever be toasts or some kind of feedback about the mechanics of level up.
The devs are obviously trying to avoid gameplay intrusion and text-based indicators as much as possible in favour or loading up the sidebar and 'natural' indicators like the flying health and mana beads.
I think level ups need toasts of some kind, just to show the effects on level up. Over the last two years they have REALLY added up and there is no indication of what happens on level up. I know now because i am so used to it, but i cant help think that players won't 'get' all the different effects that happen in the blink of an eye without indication.
As far as i know they can include:
- More HP (variable between classes)
More base attack (also variable between classes)
HP and Mana refill (+ item based increases)
Cure Poison / Manaburn
Piety gains/losses
Pact effects
Patches effects
Item effects
Item use reset
This is a dodgy mockup i made, but i would probably suggest something more subtle and transitional.

Census confusion - Alice Bard, part 2: 1891 and 1911
After finding Alice in the 1901 census, I searched the 1891 census on the Library and Archives Canada website. I found her right away. In this census Alice is 13, and living with her parents. Her father is recorded as Onesime Bard, just like in 1901, but this time her mother is "Bard Marie" instead of "Bard Pelleti??". The ages are all right and it's in the same town, so it seems promising.
Then, I looked up Alice's parents in the 1911 census to see what her mother's name is there. Once again they are recorded as Onesime and Marie Bard. This time they're in St. Aubert, which is very close to St. Jean Port Joli, where they'd always been before.
Next, I looked up Alice in 1911, when she was (I'm pretty sure) married to my great grandfather, Joseph Carmel Lavoie. I found a possible match, but Alice's date of birth is one year off, though that could easily be an error. She is recorded as the wife of Joseph Lavoie, with three children, Edward, Paul, and Jeanne. I can't tell from those names if this is the right record, because my dad never knew the names of all his aunts and uncles. I do know one of them was named Edward/Edouard, though.
That still left the mystery of Alice's mother, who is usually recorded as Marie, but was recorded in 1901 as "Pelleti??". Well, then I found a marriage record in the Drouin Collection recording a marriage between Onesime Bard and Marie Pelletier in 1875 in St. Aubert. I couldn't read the writing on the actual record at all (foreign language + messy handwriting is not a good combination!), so all the information I could get is what was transcribed on Ancestry. It's not a lot to go on, but that is in the area where Onesime and his wife lived, and the date is plausible.
When I get into these census records, it seems like one thing just keeps leading to another, and I often find myself lost and confused. I'm not sure what the best way to counter this is. So far I'm just trying not to get off track, and taking lots of notes so I don't forget to go back to those paths I haven't yet followed.

I sometimes feel the same way about the census. Brothers! Sisters! Why is the wife's youngest sister living with them? If I find a promising census record and don't have time or focus to deal with everyone in it right away, I'll use ancestry to create a separate tree for it. If they aren't the right people, I can delete. If they are, then I've got hints to go on, and I can add the new people to my primary tree at my leisure without losing info.ReplyDelete
Hi Erin. That's a great idea about creating a new tree with information you're not sure on! I hadn't thought of that.ReplyDelete
Currently I have a couple of online trees plus about a gazillion hand-written ones, and I'm never sure how certain any of them are. Now I'm going back and trying to find more evidence to get all this sorted out.

In a rapidly changing world, with new horizons and challenges expanding the scope of human activity at every turn, the wise leadership of the United Arab Emirates envisioned the creation of an advanced and independent research institution that would not only keep abreast with new developments at the political, economic and social spheres of human endeavor, but would also formulate the most suitable responses and strategies for keeping the UAE society ahead in the race of modernity. It was with this vision that the UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, established the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR), a premier institution of its kind in the Middle East, which has ever since set new benchmarks of excellence and expertise in the field of strategic studies and research.
At the heart of the Center's mission is its adoption of a strategic and rational approach in addressing today's and tomorrow's pivotal and pressing issues. It also places a premium on rigorous discipline in the triumph of academic and scientific enterprise. In addition, the ECSSR's core research group involves a cadre of well-educated nationals that derive a qualitative benefit from a specially designed program. The dedication and a sense of duty that characterize these young professionals is remarkable. In their development, they have cultivated a sense of initiative and courage that will undoubtedly light the path to an even greater future.

Watch how to make this recipe.
To make the crullers: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup water, the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt over medium-high heat until the edges of the liquid start to bubble. Add the flour all at once and stir briskly with a wooden spoon until well mixed and no lumps of flour remain.
Remove from the heat. Add 4 of the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each. The dough should look soft and glossy and keep a "hook" shape when the spoon is pulled from the dough. If not, beat in the last egg.
Scrape the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pour enough canola oil into a deep heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal) to fill 1-inch. Heat over medium heat until the tip of the handle of a wooden spoon gives off a slow steady stream of tiny bubbles. Carefully pipe the dough into the oil, forming 6-inch crullers. Pipe only as many crullers into the oil as fit comfortably. Overcrowding the pan will result in soggy crullers. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Put the sugar and the cinnamon in a paper bag. Crimp the top and shake well to mix. Drop a few crullers at a time into the bag and shake until coated. Best served as soon as possible.

Car crashes into ambulance, killing 3
Car crashes into ambulance, killing 3
Three people are dead after a driver fleeing a traffic stop crashed into an ambulance in southeast Georgia, according to police.
Authorities said the wreck happened early Tuesday morning after a Glynn County police officer tried to pull over a car.
Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said the driver sped away and reached speeds of 100 mph as the officer followed in pursuit.
Doering said the car then crashed into the ambulance.
The Georgia State Patrol identified the dead as the car's driver, Candice Lynn Smith, 29, and passengers Coray Lee Lemon and Cedric S. Daniels, both 33.
A paramedic and a patient riding in the ambulance were taken to Brunswick Memorial Hospital. The ambulance driver was not injured.

Business Cycle
The CTTSO business model identifies and prioritizes requirements of the national interagency community including defense as well as international partners through rapid research, development, testing, and evaluation while providing operational support for demonstration and field testing of combating terrorism solutions. This process prioritizes user requirements and program budgets, employs flexible contracting strategies, and leverages funding resources from partnering agencies to enable effective project selection with the best solution for the resources available.
The CTTSO business cycle is a deliberate yet flexible process that meets the needs for rapid prototyping and fielding of technology and equipment in support of the combating terrorism mission. Sponsors, end users, and subject matter experts remain engaged throughout the business cycle to ensure that the proposed solution meets the requirement and the resulting technology and equipment gets in the hands of those who need it.
The Business Cycle begins by inviting the subgroup user/operator communities to annual meetings in the October-December time frame to discuss and prioritize their operational gaps and needs. Once all the requirements are finalized, a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is the solicitation method of choice to publish these requirements. Each year the CTTSO publishes combating terrorism requirements in two Broad Agency Announcements. However, the primary BAA is typically posted in February after the annual Advance Planning Briefing for Industry, an event where requirements are briefed to industry and other potential submitters. *Note that the CTTSO has the ability to post out of cycle BAAs when the need arises.
CTTSO typically employs a three-phased proposal selection process for solicitation to minimize cost and effort of prospective offerors.
- Phase 1 occurs in the March-April time frame and consists of a one-page quad chart that conveys the essence of the proposed solution for a single requirement;
- Phase 2 occurs in the May-June time frame. Phase 2 submissions are white papers, a 12-page document that further expands upon the quad chart, for accepted Phase 1 submissions. For accepted Phase 2 submissions;
- Phase 3 occurs in the July-September time frame. Phase 3 consists of a full technical proposal (not to exceed 50 pages) and detailed cost information. Phase 1 submissions can be selected for Phase 3 if funding is available and the mission priority warrants an accelerated process.

This is a really interesting and eclectic list of 25 TV shows that have had an impact on society beyond the water cooler. There are a few obvious choices, but most of these I hadn't heard of.
In 2003, 24-year-old machinist Juan Catalan faced the death penalty for allegedly shooting a key witness in a murder case. Catalan told police that he couldn't have committed the crime — he was at a Los Angeles Dodgers game at the time. He had the ticket stubs and everything!
When police didn't buy his alibi, Catalan contacted the Dodgers, who pointed him to an unlikely hero: misanthropic comedian Larry David. On the day in question, David had been filming an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in Dodger Stadium. It was a long shot, but maybe Catalan could be seen in the background. When his attorney watched the outtakes, it took just 20 minutes to find shots of Catalan and his daughter chowing down on ballpark dogs while watching from the stands.
Thanks to the footage, Catalan walked free after five months behind bars. And Larry David found one more thing to be self-deprecating about. "I tell people that I've done one decent thing in my life, albeit inadvertently," joked David.
