Dan Fumano: City in protracted battle to cancel business licence of tea shop
The small tea shop, on Kingsway just east of Vancouver's Little Saigon neighbourhood, appears innocuous and quiet, a calm respite from one of the city's busiest thoroughfares outside.
It was also the target of a four-month undercover police investigation last year leading to criminal charges related to the alleged black-market trade of purportedly stolen items, ranging from European perfumes and liquors to power tools, according to court filings and police documents.
Details of the Vancouver Police Anti-Fencing Unit's investigation are included in police documents obtained by Postmedia News, and while none of the resulting criminal charges have been tested in court, the undercover operation has also led to the city now trying to revoke the tea shop's business licence.
The file provides a rare glimpse into Vancouver's business licence revocation process — something that only happens between zero and two times a year, according to the city — in an especially protracted case.
Late last year, after reviewing the findings of the police undercover operation, Vancouver's deputy chief licence inspector Sarah Hicks recommended revoking the business licence of the Thuong Dang Danh Tea Shop on Kingsway, alleging "gross misconduct" and harmful effects on other businesses and community members. The business premises, the police had alleged, were being used for afencing operation, to buy and order stolen goods.
Police arrested 53-year-old shopkeeper Van De Nguyen in May of 2016, and last December, three charges were laid against him. The sworn charge information filed with the court alleges Nguyen instructed an undercover officer to commit theft, was in possession of more than $5,000 worth of "the property of various retailers" knowing it had been stolen, and tried to purchase purportedly stolen items "including cologne, perfume, liquor, power tools and bathroom fixtures."
When city staff recommend cancelling a business licence, the matter is referred to a hearing with a panel of three city councillors for a decision. (In this case, the panel is made up of Councillors Heather Deal, Adriane Carr, and Tim Stevenson, with Raymond Louie as an alternate.)
Although the tea shop licence hearing was scheduled for February of this year, it has been postponed three times, and is now adjourned without a date. The earliest possible date for the hearing would be in October.
It has been unusually slow going, according to an emailed statement from Hicks and Iain Dixon of the city's legal department: "These do not normally take that long. … This is not typical. It has been particularly difficult to get scheduled due mainly to the ongoing criminal process associated with the allegations."
In the meantime, the shop remains in business, with Nguyen "adamant about his innocence," said his lawyer Tony Lagemaat.
Details of the Vancouver Police investigation and city inspector's dealings with Nguyen and the Thuong Dang Danh Tea Shop are outlined in a 223-page package of city and police documents obtained through a Freedom of Information request. In 2014, Vancouver police officers developed an intelligence file on the shop "as a possible fencing operation after observing a well-known, prolific property crime offender frequenting the store," the police report says, adding that in February 2016, detectives received "reliable information" about the purchasing of "stolen property from local drug addicts on the Kingsway strip."
Between February and May of last year, an officer conducted six undercover scenarios, trying to sell purportedly stolen property to Nguyen, with details of those encounters outlined in police notes.
Postmedia attempted to speak to Nguyen and was referred to his lawyer, Lagemaat, who said that for Nguyen, who he described as a hard-working shop-owner who doesn't speak English, the business licence represents a "much bigger concern" than the criminal charges.
"The business license is his livelihood," Lagemaat said. "I've got all his accounting records and it's a thriving, legitimate business.
"It is my feeling that the city is attempting to revoke his business licence based on criminal allegations that have not been proven in a court of law. It seems unduly harsh what they're doing to him, when you look at all these dispensaries on every corner that they're essentially turning a blind eye to."
Vancouver's municipal licensing department doesn't always make headlines, but it has been in the news lately, often connected to the city's pioneering approach to regulating retail cannabis. In recent weeks, Postmedia has reported on issues highlighting challenges on that front, including confusion following a data breach and a growing pile of unpaid bylaw tickets.
Nguyen is set to stand trial in February on the criminal charges.

The housing market plays an important role in Britain's economy and is widely regarded as a benchmark of the economy generally, writes Kevin Thubron, of Persimmon Homes.
At present, the housing market is more important than ever to the UK economy with housing supply playing a critical role in the decision on membership to Europe's single currency, as well as Chancellor Gordon Brown's clear message in 2003's Budget, which emphasised the importance of a stable housing market to "promote macroeconomic stability".
Unlike in many other European countries, the UK housing market is typified by the consumer's aspiration to own their home.
The British culture places an importance and kudos on owning your own home and for this reason we are likely to continue seeing demand for new houses for many years to come.
That aspiration is further fuelled in the current economic climate by the desire to keep cash safe and maximise any return on investment.
Bricks and mortar are seen as a safe home for money, especially since the recent downturn in the stock market and rise in house prices. Low interest rates are also assisting the housing market.
Consumers are unlikely to see a high return if they leave their money in the bank and it is cheaper than ever to borrow money to fund property purchases.
In the North-East we have historically seen an under-supply of new homes and this, in part, is why the region's residential market is experiencing its most buoyant time yet.
Consequently, the average house price has risen significantly in the past 18 months and I am confident the housing market in the North-East is secure for the foreseeable future, any UK market downturn is unlikely to have a major impact in the region.
The Newcastle Gateshead regeneration and inward investment programme has enabled these areas to blossom and compete comfortably on the national stage in facilities, employment opportunities and cultural pursuits.
With a substantial and growing retail sector offering a variety of shops, nightclubs, museums and art galleries, as well as One NorthEast's drive to diversify the region's business focus away from the primary field of heavy industry toward financial services and IT, we are seeing a change in our region's makeup. The propensity to journey south towards London is beginning to wane.
The feared housing slump is far more likely to affect London and the South-East as homes in that area are currently over-valued because demand having significantly outstripped supply over successive years. Subsequently a shortage of appropriate land upon which to build has put this market further at risk.
We are beginning to see a trend towards people migrating north so they can enjoy a higher standard of living and better quality of life.
Our region is becoming more affluent and the consumer is becoming more demanding.
Individuals are working harder than ever and have far less free time. In a society that is "cash rich and time poor" many consumers are looking to buy a home that is going to be low-maintenance and won't need any upgrading or decorating.
With baby boomers now in their 50s we are also seeing an influx of empty nesters looking at new homes for the very same reason.
At Persimmon we are responding to these changes in purchaser profile by offering a wider variety of house types that can cater for all.
We can provide new homes for those trying to take their first step on the property ladder from as little as £68,950 at Roseberry Park, Seaham, but we also have luxury houses on the market up to £500,000 at Newcastle Great Park and, shortly, prestigious apartments in Newcastle city centre.
There are concerns that the recent boom in housing across the region could lead to over-supply.
Fears that investors may fail to let expensive apartments have led to some speculation on the risk of saturation - especially at the top end of the market where prices are £250,000-plus.
I am inclined not to follow this line of thinking. Historically, there have been few luxury homes in the North-East which has in turn prevented the expansion of our regional economy.
The region could not previously have attracted those affluent relocators as it had little to offer when it came to housing. This affected labour mobility and new skills moving into the region.
With more developments now offering luxury houses we can see that demand is increasing and that the owner-occupier is becoming a dominant force.

into a Victorian oddity known as a Stumpery
At this higher level Bateman built his 'Egyptian Garden' complete with topiary pyramid clipped from Yew
Thank you for the further photos, Rosemary. Now I really am DETERMINED to see Biddulph Grange! it looks as if it is worth a substantial detour.ReplyDelete
Dear Jenny - if you are in the Derbyshire Peak District then it is just over the border into Staffordshire, alternatively it is not too far off the M6 should you be travelling north or south at sometime in the future.Delete
There is a lot to explore in the garden, it looks so well maintained.ReplyDelete
The whole garden is kept in perfect orderDelete
Amazing topiary. I'm glad it's not me who has to clip it all. Such formality in the dahlia walk, was he a collector I wonder.ReplyDelete
Bateman was a plant collector and an avid orchid grower and expert - not sure about the dahlias but I suspect he was a collector or why would he have created such a splendid Dahlia Walk?Delete
Biddulph continues to fascinate me, Rosemary. The stumpery is indeed an oddity, but an endearing one at that. I can see how well it would work for ferns and might be tempted to try to make one - except that it would be an excellent haven for snakes! The Dahlia Walk is very grand and beautiful, and the topiary pyramid so clever. The swallow linocut is so sweet - your son has a great talent, and you must be very proud of him.ReplyDelete
Dear Patricia - Prince Charles has a rather grand stumpery at Highgrove which he created about 20 years ago. I can well imagine that a stumpery in Australia would be an attraction to snakes.Delete
I have so enjoyed reading your blog this early morning with my coffee.....and I have learned a new word to use. Stumpery.
Enjoy your getaway and don't forget your camera......Janey
I think that a Stumpery is very much a British thing, but I have seen them on the Continent too. Most likely the idea was copied originally from here.Delete
Magnificent garden...something different around eac corner.
Enjoy your break a way...
Thanks Margaret - keeping my fingers crossed for descent weather - the Indian Summer has broken and we have been having rain.Delete
What wonderful gardens - so many interesting features. It is somewhere I would love to visit. Great photos!ReplyDelete
I would image that your son would love it there - the garden is great for children who like to explore.Delete
What a spectacular garden! I've never even heard of a stumpery before. Love your son's linocut!ReplyDelete
Thanks Debra - it is a fun garden to visit.Delete
Hello Rosemary, I love the contrasts between wild and formal areas in this garden, and also the preponderance of greenery. On the card, your son has achieved great variety of personality among the birds with just a few colors and lines--a quality often found in Chinese art.
Enjoy your trip, Jim
Hello Jim - we are hoping that the weather will be good, however, our Indian Summer has now broken. The garden is certainly green and very lush, but nothing is overgrown or out of place.
That is an interesting fact about the linocut, I have relooked at it with fresh eyes.
What an interesting garden. I've never seen a stumpery before, it's beautiful and not a little bit creepy. I love the different statues and the archway, it really looks like a fairy tale garden to me.ReplyDelete
I can imagine that the stumpery would look great if it was decorated for Halloween with pumpkins and lights. I am sure it is a garden that your children would love to visit.Delete
The stumpery really is amazing isn't it, as you know it was pouring with rain when we visited and the stumpery looked amazing as all the moss was so glossy and drippy, just how you would want a stumpery to look really! Great to see more of your "in the dry" pictures! xxReplyDelete
Glad you enjoyed seeing them AmyDelete
There is a lot to admire at Biddulph Grange, I include it in one of my slide show presentations. It is difficult to choose between the Dahlia Walk and the Chinese Garden, which I think just edges it for me. The difference in the pictures from before the NT restored it and now is amazing.ReplyDelete
The whole garden is immaculate - I did go many, many years ago, but can now only remember the Chinese garden as I had never seen anything quite like it before.Delete
It's so interesting visiting these gardens with you. I never thought I lacked imagination but the people who thought up all these towers, walkways, viewpoints, etc clearly have much more of that elixir of life than I'll ever have!ReplyDelete
Bateman inherited a lot of money Rosemary - he had a great vision but people will move mountains for you when you can pay them.Delete
Definitely a garden worth a looong visit. I never heard of Stumpery's , but what a great idea if arranged 'artistically' like here !ReplyDelete
Fantastic topiary/hedge cutting. I really don't like stumperys, always give me the creeps!ReplyDelete
After such a great large and very diverse, and well-tended garden has not walking around, so thank you for a wonderful experience. * Thank you very much for your good wishes for his son and greet.ReplyDelete
What a perfect garden, love the Egyptian influence.
This is a verry beautiful garden...
Nice hedge's.
Inge, my choice
There are many choices which way to take and various different elements in this garden. I'm tempted to walk through the curving path (the 11th image), excited with the mystery of where to reach. Stumperies are first to me. Their enchanting look makes me imagine gnomes would be hidden inside. Have a nice weekend, Rosemary.
Dear Rosemary, I am in awe of these hedges and the topiary! This garden must employ an army of workers; there seems to be no blade out of place! Like commentor Stardust above, stumperies are new to me.ReplyDelete
I love to walk with you in these lovely,, beautiful and wonderful gardens. Thanks to take me with.ReplyDelete
Hello Dear Rosemary,
I am working towards doing a few blogs here and there..I have missed a lot. However, its always so wonderful to see your posts.
I have really, never seen a garden so well laid out. You have written about many, but this is so wonderful.
Lots of Egyptian architecture.
Thousands, must be spent on these gardens each year.
Most enjoyable..
best wishes..
Happy week
Val xx
What a stunning garden that is. Now added to my lengthening list of places to visit (when we are living back in England again). I couldn't help wondering how many gardeners they employed though!ReplyDelete
There is so much to see in this fantastic garden, something different around every corner. Hope you find so decent weather as you head south! Sarah xReplyDelete
A very interesting garden I must say...
Wow! What a wonderful place!!!ReplyDelete
What a fabulous garden. I had never heard of it. Now hope to go one day.ReplyDelete

Re: doubts about apply mapFRANCISCO Orte López Jul 9, 2013 1:51 AM (in response to vikas mahajan)
Hi Vikas :
As you can guess from the manual, a mapping load only consider two fields. One is the key and the other the value as you have explained perfectly.
If you need a composite key just create it concatenating both fields in order to create an unique key. For example yo can create Salesgrp & ' .. ' & Hqrd.
Hope that helps.
Best regards
Re: doubts about apply mapMohit Sharma Jul 9, 2013 1:54 AM (in response to vikas mahajan)
no you can't do this through applymap
it based on primary key
but for that you can create a field SalesGrp &'-' &HQID as Primary
and use that field and on above side write field there it become easier for matching and if values doesn't match then
the same value it is coming or you make it null also like
ApplyMap ( 'map1', ID, '#N/A' ) It will return matching data with name and else #N/A
Re: doubts about apply mapvikas mahajan Jul 9, 2013 2:21 AM (in response to Mohit Sharma)
Thanks I will try the same I think I guess the same.

Asura's Wrath (Played on Xbox 360)
I've read a lot about Capcom's upcoming action game, but I've never watched any gameplay footage. I wish that I had, because then I wouldn't be feeling the sense of disappointment that I feel now. Don't get me wrong, the portion that I played looked amazing and the score perfectly suits the bat shit crazy action on screen. The problem is, no matter how nutty the titular character looks, or how many giant swords you're being stabbed with, the game handles like an interactive cut scene. Even when the action is taken off rails, it feels as though you're going through the motions until the director has something more ridiculous to show you. I certainly hope that the full game pits the player against grunts instead of boss fight after meticulously-directed boss fight. Still, the scale of the action and high-quality animation deserves to be seen (if not played).
Not pictured: The rest of this deity's giant thumb.
The Verdict
I love the game's oriental sci-fi motif and the fantastic soundtrack, but the action feels like a shallow interruption to the wonderfully-rendered cut scenes. Worth a download, but I'll probably wait for this one to hit the bargain bins.
The Darkness II (Played on Xbox 360)
I was a big fan of Starbreeze's - of Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay fame - first quasi-open world effort based on Top Cow's comic, The Darkness. It was short, shockingly-violent and truly horrifying in some scenes. Digital Extremes - which handled the PS3 port of Bioshock - is at the helm with the sequel, and what I've seen looks promising... and violent. Like ridiculously violent. Like "seriously, how the fuck did Mortal Kombat get banned in Australia and this game sails through uncensored" violent. With your Darkness powers you can eat hearts, rip men in half, impale your foes with all kinds of improvised weaponry and almost literally paint the town red. It's quite a meaty demo - all things considered - and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the final release in a few weeks time. The shooting itself is a bit loose, but the Darkness powers allow for enough improvisation that you won't often care. It's also worth noting that the new cel-shaded visual style is a great fit.
Dear OFLC....
The Verdict
Do you like gore? Do you like the idea of a twist - however superficial it may be - on the tired FPS genre? Do you like solid shooting mechanics and beautiful, cel-shaded graphics? If you answered yes to any of those questions, the demo for The Darkness II may manage to sell you on the full retail release.
It's probably worth noting that I would've bought The Darkness II regardless of the demo's quality, but I was expecting more from the trial for Asura's Wrath. If the weight of critical opinion is in the affirmative my balsa wood will may break, for now though.... I'll wait.

PNR and its Importance in Railway System
The Indian Railways passenger name record, commonly known as PNR, is a 10-digit unique number that gives numerous travel information to the ticket-holders. Most importantly PNR status includes information such as the booking status - whether the ticket has been confirmed, it is on waiting list (WL) or it is under reservation against cancellation (RAC) - apart from giving basic information on arrival and departure time of trains. The IRCTC PNR status also provide details of the coach, seat number and the fare paid by the passenger.
With the presence of Erail.in, one of the most well-known online railway enquiry and booking platform you don't have to call the Railway Enquiry at 139 and keep waiting for a reply or visit irctc.co.in to check the status, as now tracking your online PNR status enquiry gets easier and faster. Erail search will help you find out the accurate IRCTC PNR status of your train anytime anywhere.
There are some people who doesn't know what the importance of PNR is and assume every required information is already mentioned on their tickets. But the biggest reason behind the launch of PNR concept globally by Indian Railways is to easily share the data of the booking with other travelers and booking authorities. It helps them maintain data and reduce confusions in seat availability and booking.
How PNR concept work?
CRIS i.e. Centre of Railway Information Systems maintain a database where all information about passengers are fed and stored on daily basis. The system creates a unique 10-digit PNR number every time a person books a railway ticket, no matter offline or online. With that particular number passenger can check all relevant information about his/her journey.
How to check PNR status?
Checking IRCTC PNR status is now damn easy with Erail's train enquiry service. All you need to do is
- Visit https://erail.in or download eRail's mobile app
- Enter your PNR number on the search bar.
Every time you book ticket you get a new PNR number and you can check your PNR number mentioned on the top-left corner of the train ticket. Usually the PNR number on the e-ticket appears in a different place - it will be printed on the top half of the page.
Advantages of PNR
- With PNR, passenger gets all possible details which helps him/her plan their journey comfortably.
- PNR gives traveler clarity on his/her ticket confirmation i.e. whether ticket is in General Waiting List, Tatkal Waiting List etc.
- With PNR number passengers can check their train's exact arrival time and also its current running and booking status.
So, leave those old school ways of knowing your train's status. Don't waste time and stress yourself by then n now visiting ticket counter and logging on to busiest Indian Railway's website. Join hands with technology and start using Erail's user-friendly mobile app for instant updates. You can easily register your number and enable notification to get each and every update of your PNR status via SMS.
IRCTC PNR Status Prediction and Confirmation
It is not always possible that you get a confirmed Indian Railway ticket, specially at time of festivals. But there are people who have skill to predict IRCTC PNR status. 'PNR Prediction' is a very important term in Indian Railways as many people have their faith in it. It is a tricky concept which usually depends on a historical data present with Indian Railway Authorities but not open to public which help them predict the chances of getting tickets confirmed. Prediction is computed using data analytics and machine learning techniques to get occupancy rate (almost all trains run on 80 to 100 % occupancy) based on various factors like past booking and cancellation trends, station quotas, days of the week, seasonality, holidays etc. to determine new routes / trains to help passengers travel with ease.
Generally waiting list PNR Status during peak seasons (festivals) has very fewer chances to get confirmed. This is due to a large number of travelers travelling to their hometowns. But most of the passengers travelling by Indian Railways predict the possibility of getting tickets confirmed based on the current status of tickets as 90% of the cancellations happen between 72 and 36 hours before the arrival of train. So, using previously available data and classification techniques, probability can be predicted.

Rocker Lenny Kravitz has broken his silence on "penisgate" after a photo of him suffering a major wardrobe malfunction went viral on Tuesday (04Aug15).
The American Woman hitmaker was rocking out during a gig in Sweden on Monday (03Aug15) when he squatted mid-song and his leather trousers ripped, revealing his manhood dangling between his legs.
Video footage and still shots of his unexpected exposure subsequently went viral, and late Tuesday, Kravitz responded with a simple tweet which read: "#PenisGate", along with a screenshot of a text message exchange between himself and Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler.
The conversation read: "Dude... No underwear and pierced ... F**k me.. You never showed me that s**t"."

Cinder by Marissa Meyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
While her sisters were given beautiful dresses and fine slippers, Cinderella had only a filthy smock and wooden shoes.
I was really looking forward to read this, and perhaps I was even over excited about it. After reading a couple of reviews, I initially thought that this review would be a negative one. But Marissa Meyer surprised me with a 'young-adult' fairy tale. Cinderella wasn't really my favourite fairy tale, but Cinder definitely is.
There was no bed for her, and at night when she had worked herself weary, she had to sleep by the hearth in the ashes.
As the famous fairy tale is retold, Cinder is a mechanic - in fact, the best in New Beijing. She liver with her stepmother, Adria, and her two stepsisters, Peony and Pearl. Just like in the story, Cinder is not happy; being a cyborg, and having to bear a stepmother is not exactly euphonious. One day, her stepsister, Peony, comes in contact with the letumosis plague, and Cinder is blamed for transferring the pathogens to her. Simultaneously, she finds herself tangled in Prince Kai's life. When she discovers about the Lunars and the atrocious queen, things become nasty. This book is a judicious mixture of intriguing adventure and unexpected twists indentured by confusion.
'I-I'm Linh Cinder.'
This book is different from other young adult books: perhaps adversity in a female protagonist's life corresponds. But generally, the protagonist lives in a completely discrete dystopian world. However, the author has used an old fairy tale, and rebuilt it with new vigour. Plagiarism? Oh please! Give it a rest! Albeit, I have to admit, there is nothing that heat to exaggerate about, I enjoyed the plot as well as the details with ardent pleasure. The story is not just a story. It is the story.
'But I can promise your sister will be second.'
This might be considered cryptic by some, preposterous by others, and not accepted by the rest. I found a social message in between the pages of this page-turner: Even if you are different; even if you are not like others, you can still survive in this world. Just stay strong and strive to survive - Cinder will show you how. This is probably considered asinine, but if you want it, tale the advice.
So my hypocritical prejudices have been shunned thanks to this book. Give me a reason why I must not recommend this book.

I realize that I haven't posted anything I'm over a year, and I feel really bad about that. Well, I doubt anyone would miss this blog because it's pretty boring, but I'm going to restart this blog again. Starting from this month, I will post at least one review on this blog every month and perhaps increase the quality of my reviews, too. So stay tuned!

It's difficult, nee impossible, to review and feature the music emanating from Mali without briefly outlining the country's past and current difficulties. Such is the devastation and injury caused during years of civil war which began with a rebellion in the north by the Tuareg – for various reasons unhappy at their treatment and alienation from the Malian central government; fighting for an autonomous region, named the Azawad, in the north east -, though the instability caused by the spread of an ever more aggressive hardline form of Islam from outside the country and natural concerns such as drought have conspired to pull Mali apart.
Whilst the Syrian conflict – for good reason – continues to dominate the news feeds internationally, the countless infractions and acts of brutality in North and West Africa struggle to make the headlines. Whether vaporised by western technology or bullying the local populations across the region, ISL, ISIS or whatever the abbreviation is these days, the victims in this bloody battle to establish a tyrannical caliphate are for the most part Muslim. With a zealous taste for punishment and a puritanical mindset that would put Cromwell's prudish stoicism to shame, they've all but condemned any practice, activity and spark of creativity that falls outside their myopic perimeters. And if, like many tribes that make up the fabric of Mali your customs and atavistic roots heavily feature song and music than you're for the CHOP! After years of civil war between the government and the Bedouin Tuareg people an uneasy but stable truce has returned some kind of normality back to the country. A "rebellion" that was dominated both by hardliner Tuareg groups such as Ansar Dine and insurgents from outside the country, the recent embittered conflict threatened to escalate as fanatical Islamist elements dominated. Invited or not, they saw an opportunity to conquer and spread their Sharia dictate, much to their ill-at-ease comrades in the more moderate National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad. Far too complicated and nuanced than the space given here for a music review, the eventual outcome was a three-way battle between all parties as the Tuareg fell out with each other. With the capital of Bamako at risk – though the fountain of Mali knowledge and much-venerated ancient seat of learning, Timbuktu was captured by the Tuareg groups and made the state capital of the Azawad region, before being recaptured by government forces – the Malian government were forced to work with their former colonial rulers France to take back control.
It's hardly a surprise to find countless poignant allusions to these events throughout the Malian music scene, from the Tuareg desert bluesman to the capital's hallowed-out canoe-shaped ngoni players. Despite this or perhaps because of it, Mali's adroit musicians have provided some of the most richly rewarding, inventive and evocative music of the past few years. The triumvirate desert caravan of Tamikrest, Tinariwen and Terakaft and leading Malian greats like Samba Touré and Bassekou Kouyaté have taken back the blues and rock'n'roll from the USA and once again imbued it with the ancestral roots of West Africa to inject a much-needed new electrifying jolt of power into a limp genre: in the case of Bassekou, Ba Power. Following in the wake of Songhai bluesman Samba Touré's nimbly picked Gandadiko LP earlier in the year, comes two more entrancing Mali peregrinations from Terakaft and Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba.

'The Garden' from Robin Adams - an undaunted delivery of truth(March 20, 2015)
Melancholy is a strong word, often interpreted to only mean 'miserable' and 'gloomy', however it also reflects as 'thoughtful' and 'contemplative', and that's why melancholy works for 'The Garden' from Robin Adams. Its themes of working with difficulties, struggle for expression, courageous sacrifice and a fearless faith in persistence lay out the effort involved in creativity, and that prompts a melancholy and meditative perspective.
Throughout, Adams's cites influences from the life and death of Vincent VanGogh, exploring the man's connections with both darkness and light, both mentally and physically and their impact on his art. "He was willing to put himself through that turmoil without question, regardless of a distinct lack of success. That is something that as an individual scares me and as a songwriter and artist I am in awe of. Most of creativity is stumbling on the muse and then everything else tends to fall into place." To write songs that expose such levels of upheaval and endeavour demands more than empathy, it needs association through experience, something Adams knows through suffering a chronic illness.
The songs on 'The Garden' come with a raw, almost primal quality, coupled with an undaunted delivery of truth … much as you might expect. However, there's more to 'The Garden' than frankness of the lyrics and softly finger picked guitar. Adams voice pours out the expression of each word with an openness that draws the listener closer to each song's inner workings. This gives the album a participative feel, it creates an act of connection where message and listener become one. The connection works within the eponymous 'The Garden' through the aching 'Paint Me The Day' and 'Troubled Skies to the harrowing honesty of 'Right To Run', Adams opens the doors of inner-struggle and confusing uncertainty subjecting places of darkness to the light of examination.
Released on 13 April through Backshop Records and supported by Help Musicians UK, the scrutiny of 'The Garden' reveals some powerful thought provoking impressions … but it's definitely worth the encounter. You will find Robin Adams here: www.facebook.com/robinadamsband

DfE tables showing provisional allocations for schools (published September 2017 – based on October 2016 pupil numbers)
We have had many requests for a clear and detailed explanation of how the Prior Attainment factor is calculated. Please see Document below for more detail and clarity:
In March 2017 the government started the second stage of consultations for the NFF it aims to introduce from April 2018. Full details of the consultation materials can be accessed within the links below:
The local authority and schools forum submitted responses on 22 March. The results are listed below:
The EFA have also published information on the potential impact (although compared to each school's 2016 to 2017 funding) for each school. Please note as this is comparing to 2016 to 2017 prior to Northants introducing prior attainment and EAL formula factors into the 2017 to 2018 formula, this is therefore slightly out of date. In addition it reflects only the rates currently being consulted on by the government which may change as a result of the consultation responses.
Although the DSG schools block allocation for 2018 to 2019 will be determined by the NFF it will be a local authority decision on the formula and rates to be applied in 2018 to 2019. The authority will liaise with schools and the forum on this. A presentation on this was discussed with forum on the 21st March see link below (agenda item 4). Please note Appendix B included indicative figures if the Government's proposals on the sparsity formula factor were applied.
The possible approaches to be taken with the local formula in 2018 to 2019 will be discussed further with Forum at subsequent meetings. It is likely that the local authority will consult with all Northants primary and secondary schools on the local 2018 to 2019 formula from September 2017. The governments decisions on the NFF will impact on this.
In April 2017 the EFSA published a dataset showing local authorities' formulae for allocating dedicated schools grant (DSG) schools block funding. This is for the allocation of DSG funding for 2017 to 2018 to mainstream schools and academies in local authority areas.
These formulae determine school budget share funding for:
The EFSA also published schools block funding formulae guidance providing further information and brief commentary.

CHICAGO --Father Andrew Greeley is in critical but stable condition after a fall from a cab last Friday.Two Good Samaritans saw Father Greeley, whose jacket got caught in a taxicab door at the Rosemont El station, fall last Friday. They ran over to help the 80-year-old priest.
"As he was kind of walking away, the cab driver just started driving, not knowing his jacket was caught. He just was pulled to the ground really forcefully" said Lawrence Williamson. "He was definitely going into shock. I think the comfort of me being there, and my girlfriend, helping him, letting him know that the medical team was on the way, I think that was definitely helping him out."
Williamson and his girlfriend, Renee Tucknott, were visiting from Los Angeles. Williamson is training to be an emergency medical technician.

Publisher's Summary
Matt Sullivan understands labels: law student, athlete, heterosexual. He has goals: graduate and begin his career in law. One fateful night, Matt tags along with his gay roommate to a dance club and everything changes. Matt finds himself attracted to the most beautiful man he's ever seen. All labels go flying out the window.
Aaron Mendez doesn't believe in labels, and he's leery of straight curious men. He makes it clear that he'll hide his fabulous light for no one. While Aaron can't deny the attraction between him and Matt, he is reluctant to start anything with someone who is still dealing with what this new label means--especially when that someone has a girlfriend.

Gay for you romance w/ surprisingly minimal angst
This is one of my favorite gay-for-you stories that I've read recently. Or actually, Matt is more bisexual, but he's only had one previous gay experience and we don't really have much interaction between him and his ex-girlfriend, so...
Anyway, I thought this was well written. I really liked both Aaron and Matt's personalities, though I can't help wishing I could've gotten Aaron's POV as well. Matt is your standard all American, former jock, pre-law student and Aaron is the older, femme-y, out-and-proud, makeup-wearing gay guy.
I liked that there wasn't any big drama with Matt's ex. No evil girlfriends here.
Sexual tension was good, and the Matt's big declaration scene was over-the-top sweet and romantic, but if you're expecting edge of your seat action, this won't be for you.
Tyler Stevens did a great job narrating the story. He used the right pace so it was easy to follow the story, there was a good variety between character voices so I could tell who was speaking without any difficulty.
All in all this was an enjoyable listening experience.

Better than good, it's fantastic!
If you could sum up Better Than Good in three words, what would they be?
Romantic, Light hearted, Fun.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Aaron! He is so unapologetically gay and I just loved that about him.
Which scene was your favorite?
The first time they had sex. The way Aaron calls him Mattie and how careful Matt is with Aaron, it was sort of beautiful, definitely sensual.
If you could take any character from Better Than Good out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Aaron. I would have a blast with this guy, I swear.
Any additional comments?
Matt Sullivan is out having drinks with some friends when they decide to accompany their gay roommate to his favorite bar. Matt has no idea that his head is about to turn, and his life is about to change. He notices the flamboyant, beautiful and boisterous Aaron straight away and the two end up talking at the bar. Over the next few days the colorful guy at the bar is all Matt can think about. As luck would have it, they wind up meeting again. Aaron is standoffish at first, certain that Matt is nothing more than curious, but the chemistry, conversation and connection is magnetic. Hesitantly, the two become just friends, of a slightly flirtatious nature.
Matt struggles throughout the story with his future, but aside from a little hesitancy early on, I never got the feeling that he really struggled with his feelings for Aaron. The more time the spent together it was clearly obvious they were falling in love, but they took their time, dinner dates, art shows and long runs in the park. It's when Matt gets caught off guard at the appearance of his ex-girlfriend while out shopping with Aaron that things take a dark turn. Matt will pull out all the stops to prove to Aaron his feelings are sincere, but is it too little too late?
First, I'd like to disagree with something in the synopsis and sub-genre listing for this book. Almost from the start, Matt admits to a sexual fling with another guy so to label him hetero is inaccurate, in my opinion. He is obviously bi-sexual. As well this shouldn't be tagged as a gay for you story. Rant over.
Better than good was, well… better than good, it was fantastic! The story just flowed steadily from start to finish. There were a few issues and struggles with Aaron's dad and Matt's trying to avoid 'labeling' his sexuality while feeling fairly certain he's fallen in love with a man. But it was all well conveyed without too much angst or unbelievable situations that can ruin a great storyline. I loved that they both had their own lives and even when things got tough, they kept going.
Narrated by Tyler Stevens and I think this was his best audio narration yet, that I've listened to at least. Matt is smart, successful and confident and you could hear that in the way he was voiced. Aaron is flamboyant, colorful and carefree and Stevens poured so much emotion into the character that I just fell in love with him, especially when he calls Matt, Mattie. There was a sensuality to the story as well and that was evident not only with Hayes writing, but with the passion that was dripping off both guys words during certain, steamier scenes.
If you like gay for you type stories you'll definitely like this one, though I don't think it's truly a GFY story. It is really well written and so romantic and fun, definitely a more light hearted read.

Loved it
Would you consider the audio edition of Better Than Good to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version but as far as narration goes I think Tyler Stevens is pretty much perfect for this, he really brings the story alive. I'd be happy to listen to this again and I haven't bought the print version so I guess that answers how I feel about it.
What other book might you compare Better Than Good to, and why?
Better Than Chance for obvious reasons.
What about Tyler Stevens's performance did you like?
I liked the different voices he uses, the consistency of how he portrays different characters and the 'aliveness' he brings to the listening experience. I am hoping he's also going to do the third book in the series, because I can't imagine wanting to listen to anyone but him read it. I've listened to a lot of narrators, he's the first one that really stands out as excellent for me.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Any additional comments?
Recommended if you like well written romance with a deft touch and without too much angst.

cannot delete orphaned HomeGroup shares in Win 7
I have three Windows 7 computers, one a laptop and the other two are desktops. The laptop and one desktop are Win 7 Prof. and the remaining desktop is Win 7 Ultimate. All computers are part of my HomeGroup and share is set up for all default libraries, My Documents, My Pictures, My Music and My Videos.
On the Win 7 desktop (let's call this computer 1) I had a 4 disk raid array partitioned as C: and D:. I had the system on C: and used D: for data. D: was beginning to be overpopulated. I tried several ways to shirk C: and then expand D: but ran into problems exacerbated by the raid array. So, I decided to copy everything on D: to C:, delete D: and then expand C: for the entire array.
With the help of tutorials on this site, I have resolved all the problems this caused on computer 1 with the user folders and can now share everything through the HomeGroup in Win 7 Explorer on all three computers.
However, eliminating drive D: on computer 1 and relocating My Documents, My Pictures, My Videos and Downloads have left the HomeGroup on both of the other computers with two orphaned shares. One named My Documents and the other downloads. On computers 2 and 3 when I click on the shares in Win 7 Explorer, I get network error Windows cannot access \\computer1\downloads and Windows cannot access \\computer1\My Documents; Error code 0x80070043, The network name cannot be found.
On computers 2 and 3 when I run net share in regular Win 7 I see an orphaned share on D: Share name D$; Resource D:\, Remark Default share and what should be the current user share for C: Share Name C$; resource C:\ and remark Default Share. If I delete the D: share with net share, the share remains in the HomeGroup on computers 2 and 3.
One method for resolving this involved using the net share command in safe mode with networking. I am unable to run that command in safe mode with networking due to a dependency error, code 1068 caused by the Security Accounts Manager that will not run in safe mode, error code 1084.
On computers 2 and 3 I have looked in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Shares and see a share for a printer, one for pint$ print spooler, another for prnproc$ print spooler and finally Users with Path=C:\Users. The latter is where I now have all of the shared files stored on C:\Users\Computer1\My Documents etc.
That's a lot of information (I probably left something very important out but I tried to give you what I thought was material) and here is my question; how do I get rid of the two shares in the HomeGroups on computers 2 and 3 that show shares named My Documents and downloads????
|My System Specs
|10 Mar 2011
hey JJKad,
the only way I know how is to unshare it from the original drive. When you went to share that drive, you had to allow those privileges, and to the best of my knowledge, that is how you remove them. I'm not sure exactly how you would in homegroup. Workgroup is a lot better in my opinion. When working in workgroup, if you delete the drive it no longer shows up as a shared drive.
|My System Specs
|10 Mar 2011
It would be nice if I could unshare from the original drive but it no longer exists. I may be forced to shrink C:, re-create D:, re-establish the folders, share them in HomeGroup, unshare in HomeGroup, (hope that gets rid of the orphans) delete the logical D:, expand C:.
There just has to be a better way especially with no assurance all of the above will actually work. Wish I could find where Win7 stores its information about these HomeGroup shares. If its in the registry, I can't find it.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll wait to learn as others have a chance to respond.

I know this is going to be a really stupid question, but by any chance did you right click on the share and see if it can be deleted? Sorry if you have already tried this.
|My System Specs
|11 Mar 2011
Good question and the answer is Yes. But a right click doesn't even give the option to delete. I tried File from the menu bar and although "delete" is an option, it is greyed out.
Keep the suggestions coming, I am running out of ideas.
|My System Specs
|11 Mar 2011
OK, this is an answer to orphaned folders in HomeGroup caused by a missing drive on one of the HomeGroup members:
On the computer that had the drive that was removed,
Insert a flash drive in a USB port
Create folder(s) with the exact name of the shares that show on the other computers in the HomeGroup
Put/copy a file into the newly created folder
Open Computer Management
Click on Disk Management in the left column
Select your flash drive by single clicking on it in the middle column
Right click and select Change Drive Letters and paths
Click Change
Change the drive letter to the missing drive (you may have to change other drive letters to accomplish this/so the missing drive letter is available)
Verify that the flash drive now has the same drive designation as the missing drive
Close Computer Management
Open Windows Explorer
Navigate to the folder(s) you created above
Right click on the folder
Select Share with / HomeGroup (read write)
You should now be able to access this folder and the file you put in it on your other HomeGroup computers
Go back to the computer you have been working on
Right click on the folder(s) you created above
Select Share With / Nobody
The orphaned share(s) should no longer appear on your other computers.
You probably want ( I did) to go back to Computer Mangement and change your flash drive back to where it was.
This worked for me. YMMV.
|My System Specs
|09 Mar 2013
win7 x86
I am having the same issue. I guess I will have to recreate the path to the folder that no longer exists as JJKad did, but this is a cumbersome solution. Why "delete" is not a right click option if the shared folder has both read and write permissions, I will never understand.
Even better would be if you could "manage" your shared folders from the host computer. You should be able to click on Homegroup and see and manage every folder you have shared, not just the default libraries. It is silly that I have to go to another computer to see which folders are shared from this computer.
Boo-Hoo once again to Microsoft for this oversight.
