New York, NY (PRWEB) February 27, 2012
The latest releases of SunGard's AvantGard Integrity and AvantGard Quantum treasury solutions provide enhanced usability and functionality to help customers gain increased visibility to cash and risk across the enterprise. SunGard's AvantGard Treasury suite offers a broad spectrum of solutions from basic cash management to sophisticated risk analysis.
The new release of AvantGard Integrity is available in two editions: the Xpress Edition (XE) addresses basic treasury requirements while the Corporate Edition (CE) includes more sophisticated cash and treasury management functionality. The new Integrity releases offer treasurers interactive dashboards and a new, highly configurable reporting tool to help enable easy extraction of data into user defined views including cash positions, balances, foreign exchange positions, rates, intercompany positions, and more. The new interface also helps the treasurer on the go by delivering easy to use interfaces for popular mobile devices such as Apple iPhone, iPad and Android.
For more complex corporate treasuries, the new version of AvantGard Quantum offers sophisticated risk analysis capabilities and is available as the Enterprise Edition (EE). Corporate treasurers will be able to create personal workspaces that help them establish specific analytics and frequently used models for multi-national scenarios and global financial risk analysis. Configurable dashboards and upgraded reporting functionality are among the many new features included to enhance the user experience.
"In recent years, many corporations have focused on centralizing and standardizing their finance systems and operations, often as part of an ERP initiative," according to Nigel Rayner, research vice president at Gartner. "These organizations are now turning the same lens on their treasury operations, looking for ways to improve the effectiveness of those operations through the centralization and standardization of treasury systems and processes. Corporate treasury applications are the technology foundation that can support centralized treasury operations."
Recent awards demonstrate the continued leadership of AvantGard Treasury. Global Finance magazine named SunGard the "Best Treasury Workstation Provider" for AvantGard in its 2012 rankings of Treasury and Cash Management Banks and Providers; the eighth consecutive year that SunGard AvantGard has earned this distinction. In addition, Financial-i magazine recently named SunGard's AvantGard the 2011 "Leader in Innovation" in the Treasury Management Software category due to the solution's eBAM capabilities, connectivity, widespread adoption, and private cloud deployment option.
AvantGard Integrity and AvantGard Quantum both offer the benefit of managed bank and SWIFT connectivity through a unified platform with value-added services such as eBAM for electronic bank account management. These solutions can be deployed on premise, in a private cloud hosted environment, or as a SaaS* model. The new versions are now available to new and existing customers.

Residence Inn Opens New Hotel with Free Wi-Fi on Boston Harbor
June 09, 2003
The Marriott chain launches a new 168-suite hotel downtown with free wireless and wired high-speed Internet access in every room.
Boston's newest hotel, the Marriott Residence Inn Boston Harbor on Tudor Wharf, is the latest to hop on the Wi-Fi bandwagon in an effort to attract business travelers
The eight-story hotel opened on May 30 and offers free wireless and wired high-speed Internet access in each of its 168 guest suites. Guests can also tap into the wireless network in the hotel's "cyber cafe" and meeting room, and on its 8,000-square-foot pier.
While other Marriott hotels are charging for Wi-Fi, the Residence Inn decided to offer the service as a free amenity to guests. Danny Gomez, the hotel's general manager, said that Pyramid Advisors, the hotel's operators, felt it would give them a competitive advantage.
Guests without a wireless card can buy one from the hotel, or they can lease an Ethernet client bridge, which plugs into the Ethernet port on their laptop and allows them to connect to the wireless network.
Marriott last year said it would deploy wireless Internet systems in 400 of its hotels in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany by June. In most of those properties, guests pay $2.95 for the first 15 minutes and 25 cents for each additional minute.
The Residence Inn's network was installed by Duluth, Ga.-based Providence Technologies.
Other hotels in the Boston area offering wireless networks for business travelers include the Four Seasons, the Wyndham and the Seaport, home of the 802.11 Planet Conference & Expo, which also offers free wireless access to guests. See 802.11 Hotspots for additional Boston access points.

The first of my IPST reviews is for the novel The Mars Run by Chris Gerrib (his website: http://www.privatemarsrocket.net/). At first I thought that this was merely a novella - but having imported it into Word and performed a word count on it, I discovered that with chapter headings, TOC and other miscellanea that it clocked in at around 60K words. Not a long novel by any stretch, but still firmly within the realm of what can be considered a novel - after all Catcher in the Rye is not much longer than 50K words. The author offers the story for sale on LuLu.com and offers this as a blurb:
To be honest, if I had read the blurb prior to reading the story I probably would have passed. Even if this was a free offering for IPST. Writing blurbs (whether for dust jackets, back covers or websites) is a hard thing to do. For most writers, that is the only time that they get to sell the book to the reader. Even for the authors that I know and love, I'll still make a decision on buying a novel based on whether or not the blurb draws my attention (part of the reason I never bought Niven's Draco Tavern is that the dust jacket blurb, though it piques my interest, does not do so enough to get me to shell out $25 on a hardcover). The blurb is to tell the reader enough about the story and the character to make them want to read more. And frankly this fails. Unfortunately it does so in ways that would spoil the story if I explained why.
The story itself revolves around a young girl by the name of Janet Pilgrim and the trials she goes through once she has graduated from astronaut training. Which in the year 2071 (the date of the story by the way) is not as glamorous a profession as we consider it today. In fact some astronauts - such as the ones from Mars - are there solely by on the job training. Janet is a tenacious girl who spends the novel struggling to survive its events. She's quick on her feet, smart, able to learn new tasks in an amazingly short time and apparently one of the cuter girls in the universe. Frankly, if this were a fan fiction story, the character would be considered something of a Mary Sue. At best, since it's original fiction, she's wish fulfillment on the part of the author. Frankly, her past is too tragic and she's too likable to characters in universe. Unfortunately, even though the story is told in first person, we get into her head far too little. We often don't know what she's feeling or thinking, and there are obvious skips in her record of events, that are not revealed until the plot needs to reveal it.
Plot wise we're not dealing with anything spectacular. It's a simple, straight forward adventure story.
Well, let me rephrase that. It's a straight-forward adventure story, involving sex and slavery. Our young heroine spends an odd amount of time in various states of undress, her only decoration a steel collar around her neck. The BDSM connotations can only be there on purpose - and I have to truly wonder about the author's intentions when he gave this a rating of TEEN on LuLu.com . And on that note - just the sheer amount of cursing, violence and sex, quite often via rape, makes me wonder why this is classified as a TEEN novel. When I think of teen books, I honestly think of stories aimed at the 10-15 year old set, as any older there should be no reason not to read fiction aimed at adults. Yet the things that happen to our heroine here are not things I would want my boys to read when they're in that age bracket. The only reason for the TEEN rating I can even hazard a guess at is because of its length. It's about the same length as the original Harry Potter novel or any of the Young Jedi Knights novels.
The story itself is crafted fine, but with a slight reliance on a scenario of unlikely events happening. It's not hideous in its execution of the chosen plot, but it's not done brilliantly either. The first part does remind me of a TEEN story - about a young girl beginning her first job. Yet when you're about two-thirds through the book and the bad things start to pile up on her, well that is where the novel hits its stride, and also loses the possibility for the TEEN rating to be valid. It shifts from the teen stuff into a harder, maturer story (conversely this is where the rape starts as well).
The author did do a decent job on settings - as it was not that often that I found myself having to picture where the characters were at during the events of the story. That said, I could have used more. We could have been given some beautiful vistas when they leave or arrive at planets. They have a observation room where the character spends some time watching space and the stars - yet even though the story is told in first person, we never get to feel how she views those things. They're a background painting as far as the character is concerned even though they could make a great analogy for what the girl is thinking/feeling during the novel. That said, the descriptions/settings were still really done well, and thankfully not overly graphic - especially when some of the subject matter is explosive decompression.
This was a self-published novel and their was a sprinkling of typos throughout. To be fair, I wouldn't be that upset about it when purchasing the e-book, as e-books are cheap, but shelling out the $13 or so for a paperback (
Likewise, I must applaud Mr. Gerrib for having the guts to self-publish. Of course, I have to wonder if more people did do self-publishing, if we wouldn't get more and better science-fiction out there.
Back on topic, overall, The Mars Run was a fun, but quick, read. With the story clocking in at around 60K words, that means I was able to finish it over two lunch breaks. But I don't always need a novel that's going to take me 12 or more hours to finish. That said, I could use more. I could use more of what the girl was feeling, and her thoughts above and beyond the almost clinical descriptions given through the narrative. I could use more of the events that lead up to her joining Midwest Ships Operators. Conversely, I would occasionally get the odd feeling that the narrator was talking to me - an early 21st century reader - rather than to her audience (i.e. whoever found her record of events in universe). Likewise, I could use more in the fact that there's still more story to tell.
Like I said. It's a quick fun read, and one with no glaring errors nor anything particularly bad about it. And even the minor issues can't shake apart the book. I don't see myself purchasing this novel, but if I saw another Christ Gerrib book in the library I wouldn't hesitate to check it out to read.
I give it a 2.3 out of 4.
EDIT: Mr. Gerrib was kind enough to stop by and post in the comments a few notes. First, the TEEN rating given the story at LuLu.com is more akin to a PG-13 rating than an indication that it is a story for young adult readers. A bad decision from a publisher, IMO, but one that Mr. Gerrib has no control over. I might have none this had their ratings system been displayed prominently on the site.

Now in its fourth year, the event promises to be bigger and better than ever, showcasing all the latest advances in zero emission engine technology, say the organisers.
Attracting some of F1's biggest names including Patrick Head and Nico Hulkenberg, the event culminates in the UK's largest sustainable transport exhibition, taking place by the Royal Albert Memorial, Kensington.
The Bridgestone Eco-Rally sets off on Wednesday July 7, with manufacturers including Lotus, Tesla, Th!nk, MINI and Honda (showing off its new CR-Z hybrid) supporting the event.
More unusual entrants include a 7.0-litre Corvette Z06 - allegedly to prove that with careful driving techniques, even a 530bhp American muscle-car can be fuel efficient. The Ford Fusion hybrid will also be on display, representing the firm's electrification plans for Europe.
Zac Goldsmith MP, who helped launch the Eco-Rally in 2007, said: "Sustainable transport is one of the most pertinent issues we face.
"We can become world leaders in this field, and if we really take advantage of the opportunities, we will benefit economically, environmentally and socially. I applaud the aims of the Eco-Rally and am proud to have been there at the start."

Photo: Snow-Camp apprentice on the slopes (Photo credit: Geoff Wilson, John Lyon's Charity).
Snow-Camp is a charity which only a few years ago made apprenticeships a central aspect of its operations and its support for young people. We caught up with Programme Manager Gavin Hanmer. He chatted to us about how Snow-Camp uses snowsports to offer under-privileged young people from inner-city areas potentially life-changing training experiences, and why Snow-Camp are so proud of the recognition the charity received at the National Apprenticeship Awards. We started at the beginning – how did Snow-Camp come about?
"Dan Charlish, the director of Snow-Camp, was working for a London youth project and he asked some young lads playing a snowboard game on a Play Station if they'd like to try the sport in real life. They said that it would never really be an option for them, which is what gave Dan the idea for the charity."
In 2003 Dan began taking groups of disadvantaged young people to the French Alps, and noticed that when they returned from these trips their attitudes were changed and their focus improved. From that point Snow-Camp developed a journey that takes young people from complete snow sport novices to qualified instructors. Some then go on to become apprentices with the charity. The apprenticeship element Snow-Camp seemed like a natural progression, as Gavin explains.
"Once these young people have taken those life-changing experiences in the Alps and become qualified instructors, Snow-Camp wanted to provide some continuation. Three years ago Lara Kinnear (Programme Director) and Dan implemented the apprenticeship programme, where five young people who'd all completed the full Snow-Camp journey go on to become apprentices employed by Snow-Camp, ready to inspire the next group of young people."
As part of its apprenticeship scheme, the charity finds work placements for each of its apprentices in the snow sports industry, some of them in coaching and others working for Snow-Camp's partners, such as mountain sports brand Ellis Brigham, Ski Club of Great Britain and even UK ski tour operators Skiworld. There are three key elements to the apprenticeship programme: the work placement, the NVQ in activity leadership and the task of supporting Snow-Camp managers on programmes.
Not all of the young people who go to the Alps with Snow-Camp become apprentices with the charity and those that do are selected with care. Young people must apply as though it were a job, completing an application form, writing a covering letter and going through an interview process before being offered a place. By the time Snow-Camp's young people come to apply to move onto the charity's apprenticeship, Gavin and the team are already familiar with them as individuals having worked with them for a whole year since the proceeding summer. Gavin says:
"You get a sense of their passions and how they work in a group. We also have a week long residential, which gives you a chance to see every side of the young people you're working with, and helps us make informed decisions on who would suit the apprenticeship."
For those young people who don't opt to apply, Snow-Camp provides other opportunities. Gavin says:
"We have a youth forum, which is a monthly event for anyone who's been through Snow-Camp's programmes, where they can meet up with the young people they did the course with or those who did the course before them. It's a social event but we also offer further development and training, with two members now sitting on Snow-Camp's board of trustees."
Gavin, who finds his job hugely satisfying, enjoys seeing how former apprentices' working lives go on to develop thanks to Snow-Camp:
"It's great to look at where last year's apprentices are now. One of our young apprentices from last year called Jonjoe who came all the way through our programmes and recently completed the apprenticeship. While he was on the apprenticeship programme, one of our patrons, Warren Smith, offered him a life-changing experience to go from Snow Sport England Level 1 to then do his BASI Level 1 and BASI Level 2 in skiing which is a much higher qualification. He went out to Verbier in Switzerland for nine weeks during the apprenticeship programme and trained to become a Level 2 ski instructor."
Jonjoe has now completed his apprenticeship, got his NVQ and returned to Verbier to complete his Level 3 ski instructor qualification with Warren Smith which includes learning a second discipline as well as a second language. Snow-Camp works with a training provider called Youthforce, which has tutors who deliver the NVQ training and assessment. For the charity, the apprenticeship model delivers in a unique way that no other form of training could:
"Apprenticeships are a central part of a wider journey that works brilliantly. Our apprentices come back and inspire the next group of young people – that couldn't happen with a graduate. I could talk about Snow-Camp 'til I'm blue in the face because I'm so passionate about it but hearing it from other young people is so much more powerful."
The work Snow-Camp is doing hasn't only attracted the attention of the National Apprenticeship Service. The snowsports industry too has been supportive, which is important to Gavin:
"We get a lot of positive feedback, and a lot of support from the snowsports community for the work we're doing. Once you're involved with the ski and snowboarding industry there's a certain passion that really makes you feel connected to a community. That's something the apprentices all become part of."
To become a valuable member of that community and someone with the specialisms it demands, it's essential that the Snow-Camp apprentices gain as wide a range of transferable skills as possible. That's why, when selecting placements, the charity ensures that apprentices aren't tied to one area of work. Gavin outlines the broad scope each placement demands:
"Whether they're in retail, tour operating or coaching, the apprentices are given the chance to develop a skillset that can be transferred into other roles. Apprentices move around within their placements. For example, one of our apprentices, Shayleigh, was working within the Ski Club of Great Britain and she gained experience right across the organisation to find out where her real strengths lie."
Proud of the successes it's enjoyed during its first forays into apprenticeships, Snow-Camp decided to enter the South-East heat of the National Apprenticeship Awards. Gavin and his colleagues, as well as the young people themselves were surprised but delighted to triumph:
"It was fantastic for such a small charity at such an early stage in its apprenticeship development to be recognised in this way. We entered the awards with no real expectations but to win the regional heats and then progress onto the national level was amazing, really special. We took two of our apprentices along and they loved it. Apprenticeships are integral to Snow-Camp's programme now. To have young people talking about the journey that they're on and how the opportunity has changed their lives is just amazing."

Carles is the best at planning things. He always has something up his sleeve and this past weekend it was a surprise trip on Saturday... To the Barcelona Zoo! Because he is my Spanish teacher (an amazing one at that!) he told me that "like all teachers do with their students.. They take them on field trips!" So my field trip last weekend was to the zoo to learn animal vocabulary in Spanish as well as normal conversation as we spent the day together.. Only speaking in Spanish!
This crazy girl had so much personality! She literally stood there right at the fence for about 15 minutes posing for us.. Smiling, batting her eyelashes, and then started doing a weird thing with her neck! We were amused to say the least!
These BEAUTIFUL peacocks were everywhere!
They look fake almost!
Posing with the peacock :)
(I was trying to take a picture of the bird that we were looking at but accidentally had the camera turned around...we look like little children on Christmas morning )
We got to see an amazing dolphin show! It was all in Spanish so it was my "exam" for the day.. I didn't fail.. But I definitely didn't pass ;)

Howdy. So, I guess I need help with the release, or are they called release triggers? I have this strange anomoly where the sample is triggered in it's entirety, the "release" gets triggered when the MIDI note data ends, resulting in a little "pop" at the tail of the sample. This does not happen if the note is NOT triggered in it's entirety. Hope this is not too confusing, but basically, a note not triggered in it's entirety sounds like this:
and a note that IS triggered in it's entirety sounds like this:
Anything that I can do about this?
Thanks much in advance!
And then there is the flutter trombobne, which sounds great, except that it ends up like this:
Both the 39 TBN Swell Long and the 40 TBN Swell Long Alt do this. Anyway that I can edit this, or change it? All of the samples are part of one group in Kontakt, and therefore can't simply remove part of the instrument...

But the bigger news is that it will officially cut the ribbon on T-Mobile's new high-speed wireless network that lets users access content anytime, anywhere at blistering 4G speeds. T-Mobile was the only mobile provider anyone was talking about when Android first came out. Its G1 phone was the only phone running on Google's platform for months. But after

During International Women's Day, a group of Catholic women had planned a conference with pro-LGBTQ speakers in the Vatican. But the event had to be held elsewhere. Pope Francis also canceled his mass.
If you live in Georgia (Europe), in Myanmar, in Kyrgyzstan, and in Uruguay, I have good news for you! The Human Rights Campaign has decided to join forces with four groups to defend the interests of the community.
Saturday was therefore organized a great women's march, which had a huge success with several million people gathered together to defend the same values.
A few months ago I announced the appointment of an expert on LGBTQ issues in the United Nations in charge of investigating discrimination and violence sudden in our community.
Well, last night was not easy, it turned into a real nightmare not just for the United States because, unfortunately, the extremists from other countries welcome this victory of Trump and say 'Let's do it too' and it's scary.
We will not lie, we will not say that it will be ok, we know the future for our community will be very hard, but are we going to give up and will we be silent? Certainly not.

Bernie Ecclestone denied that Formula One is facing a financial crisis after the loss of two teams, the sport's supremo accusing the failed outfits for bad financial management.
Speaking to reporters at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Saturday, the 84-year-old Briton who is commercial ring-master for the sport said teams "come and go" and criticised Caterham's plan to raise cash through crowd funding.
The Marussia team folded on Friday and Caterham are in administration. Both teams failed to show up for the United States or Brazilian Grand Prix.
"People say F1 is in crisis," he said. "Absolute nonsense. We've had a couple of teams in risis…." "People come and go — they need to know how much is coming in and how much is going out." He added that he also hoped three more struggling teams — Force India, Lotus and Sauber — would survive and take part next year.
"Maybe the major four or five teams can make a contribution — for one year only," Ecclestone said, adding that the creation of a fund could also use the prize money that might have been paid to Marussia this year.
Caterham's administrators on Friday launched a plan to try to raise £2.35 million from fans to ensure the team can race in the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
"It's up to the fans if that's what they want to do," said Ecclestone. "Maybe people will put investment in the team…. I think it's a disaster.

Jews arrived in Merthyr Tydfil in about 1830. They most likely came because of the freedom of worship in non-conformist Wales. The first rabbi appears in about 1851. In 1870 a cemetery was opened at Cefn Coed, prior to this most burials took place in Cardiff or Swansea. The New Synagogue was built in 1872.

The British Wool Marketing Board
We are a farmer run organisation originally established in 1950 to operate a central marketing system for UK fleece wool, with the aim of achieving the best possible return for producers.
The British Wool Marketing Board is a farmers' organisation working on behalf of around 45,000 registered wool producers. We are the only organisation in the world that collects, grades, sells and promotes fleece wool and the only remaining agricultural commodity board in the UK.
We run our day-to-day operations from the Board's headquarters in Bradford, with small regional offices in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Receiving no financial support, although operating commercially, the BWMB is a non- profit making organisation, returning to producers the market price for their wool, less its own costs.
Its objectives are to:
- provide a secure market outlook for producers
- stimulate demand by technical research, product development and promotion
- improve the quality of the clip
- provide an efficient marketing service from collection to auction
For more information about the British Wool Marketing Board please visit our main site at www.britishwool.org.uk
The Campaign for Wool
We hope to help raise the profile of wool as a natural sustainable fibre and we part fund The Campaign for Wool which is a cross-industry initiative convened by HRH The Prince of Wales in January 2010. The Prince believes the natural, sustainable origin and highly technical structure of wool can offer fashion, interiors and the built environment many superior benefits.
For more information about The Campaign for Wool please visit www.campaignforwool.org or follow the link at the top of the page.
Each year we receive many hundreds of requests for information about wool, sheep and related subjects. We have welcomed this interest and have created our learning website and the resources on it in response to those enquiries.
This website has been designed to work alongside our main website with the intention of providing free to use teaching and learning material.
It is our aim to offer cross-subject resources which not only help to deepen general understanding of the British wool industry, but which offer pupils, teachers, organisations and families fun and engaging material.
For more information on how to get the most from this website and the material provided please visit the teacher section.

I got some more gear in the mail yesterday. Below is an image of what my Arduino Ethernet Shield, from NKCelectronics looked like when I got it out of the packaging. I was totally willing to keep this, and repair it myself, but NKC stepped up to the plate and hit a customer service home run!
Read more to read my email corospondance with NKC that left me more than satisfied.
The package from NCK was shipped via USPS First Class mail, and seemed adequately packaged. It was in a postal bubble-bag thing, and the shield itself had a block of foam pressed onto the pins to protect them during shipping, and was also wrapped in bubble wrap.
This did not proove adequate however, as can be seen by the pin bent in a loop above! When I got the thing I was slightly miffed, however I decided right away that I would prefer to repair the shield on my own rather than sending it back, mostly because I am too lazy to send it back.
I did, however, send the following email message to NKC, with the photo attached, right before I set to straightening out the pins:
FYI I just recieved my shipment (nice and speedy, thanks!) but the pins on the ethernet shield are way bent out of shape (see pic).
I am going to attempt to straighten them out, I would rather not have to send it back.
Just thought you may want to know.
So then I set to work on fixing the pins. After about an hour with my sweet set of specialized Craftsman mini tools, I managed to get them straightened out enough so that I could insert the shield into the arduino, with just a little bit of manipulating / aligning on entry. Then I noticed that I got a response form NKC in my email:
Wow! That shield is really in bad shape. Let me ship you a new one (We use a styrofoam to keep the pins straight… was the shield loose?). You can return the bad shield in the same envelope by writing "RETURN TO SENDER".
Sorry for the inconvenience
Best Regards
NKC Electronics
My response:
No worries – I think I have it just about fixed up, the pins are not EXACTLY straight, but it does fit onto my arduino now. The foam was still attached when I got it, but the post office must have mashed it good to turn that pin into a loop like that!
If you insist, I will return it.
And their response again:
Nick, you can use it until you receive the new one. It is unfair to receive and use such damaged product.
Best Regards
NKC Electronics
So I just wanted to say thanks! That is great customer service NKC – I will be back next time.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price of this costume! I even refreshed the page to make sure that I was right because I didn't think you could get costumes for so cheap! I bought this for a recent party and then loaned it to a friend who wanted to do some cosplay. It was amazing according to her and I showed her this site and now we both are going to buy some other stuff for ourselves. Milanoo has an amazing cosplay collection and you can get all the anime stuff here for crazy prices. The best thing about here is that the value for money is good and the costumes do not look like they are going to spoil any time soon despite wearing them.

If you want to start an argument in Johnson County, just tell someone you've found the best doughnut shop in the county.
Those born in Joco will likely claim the doughnut of their childhood can't be topped. Those who eat doughnuts regularly will press you for details on whether you're talking about a cake doughnut, a long john or a fritter. Eventually, you will find yourself with glazed-covered hands, a cup of coffee and an understanding that you simply must agree to disagree.
The independent doughnut shops of Johnson County are as mercurial as the very argument about which is the best.
And that, in many cases, is why they are beloved. They run out of flavors. They don't have websites. You better bring cash because credit card machines crush the margins on an 80-cent doughnut. They make you work for something you want.
The sugar slingers are anchors to the past. The vinyl stools and the hand-lettered signs are echoes of a day when we didn't post food photos on Instagram or use a hashtag to put the cap on a great meal. As a result, our connection to them — and the owners — is somehow more personal. So when a doughnut shop closes, the loss is felt more deeply. Some doughnut holes can't be filled.
In a year
when Dunkin' Donuts returned to colonize Johnson County, several independent doughnut shops disappeared. Doughnut Factory (9408 Johnson Drive, Merriam) closed its shop in 2012. The store had far-reaching roots, stretching back to Nick Mitchell Sr.'s launch of the Flavor-Made brand in 1955. Hillwah Donuts More (12126 W. 87th Street Parkway, Lenexa), the only area doughnut store to offer doughnut kabobs (doughnut holes on a skewer), closed in December of the same year. Hillwah's was the last of a revolving door of would-be glazers: Paradise Donuts, Steve's Donut's and Lamar's all tried to make a go of it in the same space.
Still, doughnuts aren't a fad. They are not a $4 bite of luxury like cupcakes. They're an inexpensive, year-round reminder of why we love the fried foods of a county fair and the cider doughnuts that accompany an annual apple-picking trip. It will be a sad day in the Midwest if it turns out we have passed the point of peak frying oil.
With so much tied to our memories and family connections to doughnut shops, 913 didn't set out to discover the best doughnut shop in Johnson County.
Instead, we decided to stop by each of the six independent area doughnut makers and find out exactly what it is that keeps us going in — for — circles.Mr. D's Donuts
11222 W. 75th St., Shawnee
6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily
Doughnuts of note:
Honey dip, cinnamon roll
A pair of army veterans sits at the far ends of two rectangular tables pushed together in the center of Mr. D's Donuts. On the Friday after Thanksgiving, they compare their relative health in between sips of coffee and small bites of honey dip doughnuts. Chi-Fen Chang smiles at them from behind the register, while her husband — the Mr. D. in Mr D.'s Donuts — talks on the phone in the kitchen at the back of the shop.
The men pause their conversation as the door opens at nearly 10 a.m. A pair of brothers, their wives, a sister and a half-dozen children come barreling into the shop. They ignore the wire racks filled with deodorant, baby powder and off-brand Barbies at dollar store prices. The children press their face and fingers against the glass case beneath the register. The family orders 20 doughnuts that are stacked like a carb-laden pyramid on the plastic tray.
"Where's my doughnut boy?" says Mr. D. (who declined to give his full name or an interview).
A boy with hair spiked from his winter hat steps forward to give him a hug. Mr. D sits with the family at the U-shaped counter, the boy of about 8 perched on his lap. When he asks about the family's patriarch, the sister explains that her father is out of the hospital and back on his feet.
"Your doughnuts were the first thing we brought him," says the woman.
The children plow through blueberry cake doughnuts and cinnamon rolls. Mr. D gives them a brief tour of his kitchen before they are once again swaddled in hats and scarves. The family promises to return soon, and Chang waves good-bye from the register.
The old men watch them go. They sip their coffee and continue to work at their doughnuts — a pair of seated sentries waiting to welcome the next group that comes through the door.

They use their hides to make clothes and build places to live, as well as use the creatures as a means of personal transport and to move heavy loads. The animals' meat and blood also play a primary role in these people's traditional cuisine.

Jackson County was founded in 1851 from portions of Haywood and Macon Counties. At the time the county seat was Webster, but in 1913 it was replaced by Sylva. Jackson County was named for Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the United States from March 4th 1829 to March 4th 1837. Jackson County covers an area of 494 square miles with only 4 square miles being water.
A portion of the Qualla Boundary, which is a tribal reservation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, is located in Jackson County. Portions of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Nantahala National Forest, both protected areas are located in the county.
Jackson County is no stranger to the film industry as several movies have been filmed in the area. These will include the 1993 action-adventure blockbuster The Fugitive staring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, which was filmed in Dillsboro, the train wreck scene along the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, also a scene from the hospital was filmed at the Harris Regional Hospital in Sylva.
In 1972 the popular drama Deliverance was filmed on the backside of downtown and a short driving scene and then in 1996 the comedy My Fellow Americans, which starred Jack Lemmon and James Garner. The novel, "Serena", written by Ron Rash, features Jackson County.

Want to surf uncrowded waves and surf breaks? Want to be one of only a handful of surfers, experiencing tropical reef surfing, warm waters, extraordinary culture and exceptional service?
New Ireland is famous for fantastic diving, but the surfing here is pretty good, too! With swells ranging from 2 – 6 or even 8ft, you won't get Hawaii like surf, but it's a lot less crowded, too, as the breaks we go to are not visited by any other surf operator (Ral Island and Senta Pass are the only exceptions). Lissenung Island Resort itself is a small resort, with a maximum of only 14 guests at any given time, so that's the maximum number of surfers you will come across. Special agreements with the resource owners ensure that all breaks can be surfed at any time.
The level of difficulty varies, depending on the size of the swell and the direction it comes from. Lissenung Island is close to some well known surf spots, such as Ral Island and Senta Pass, as well as newer breaks at Bangatan, Nusalomon and Lemus Islands. Special agreements with the resource owners ensure that all breaks can be surfed at any time. Ral Island is virtually in our backyard, so we are generally the first surfers to arrive each morning.
Lissenung Island Resort does not offer instruction, but we will get you to the best surf breaks on the day in one of our 3 boats. Our local guides will ensure that you get out there, to experience the best tropical reef surfing in uncrowded surroundings.Surf transfers are charged at PGK 200.00* per person per day, which includes snacks and beverages as well as our local guide. A surf fee of PGK 25.00 per surfer per surf day is also charged, which will go entirely to the local communities where we surf.
* Prices are applicable for bookings and payment made from outside PNG. Any bookings made whilst in PNG are subject to 10% GST.
Please ensure that you bring along not only your board(s), but also all necessary accessories and service/repair kits. The sun is very strong up here, so make sure you bring proper sun protection such as lycra shirts, a big hat and at least 30+ sunscreen. Reef shoes may also come in handy.
Here are some of the reef breaks we visit:
Enuk Island
A right-hand breaking wave at the southern end of the reef. This break is best surfed with no wind and glassy conditions, but it is protected somewhat from NE winds if they are not too strong. Best swell direction is NE, but as it is a very shallow reef, it's only surfable on mid to high tide. Easy take-off, but becomes faster down the line and barrels on the inside.
Ral Island
This small island is a swell magnet and the place to head for when everywhere else is flat. It breaks left and right, depending on the swell direction, but the right is usually the better wave. As it is quite open to the elements it's best surfed with glassy conditions, although it is protected from NE winds if they are light. Best swell direction is north. It breaks in deep water, so it's quite safe, evne for reef surfing newcomers.
Nusalomon Island
This is a right hander that breaks on the southern end of the island. The quality of this wave depends greatly on how the sandbar that juts out at the end changes. The wave breaks fairly close to shore in deep water. This can be a very long wave on a big swell. The island itself is beautiful and the boat can pull up behind the sandbar safely. North swell is best, east winds are off-shore, but the break is protected from light NE winds.
There is also a left hander at the north end of the island, but it will only work when all the conditions come together – NNW swell, S – SW winds – as the reef is quite exposed. It's surfable at all tides.
Bangatan Island
Most of this island has straight, unbroken reef, but there is a right hander in front of the passage between Bangatan and Tagalop Islands. The reef comes into the island a bit more and picks up quite a lot of swell. It's only surfable at mid to high tide as most of the reef is exposed at low tide. S – SW winds is off-shore, best swell is N – NE.
Tagalop Island
A fun right hander in front of a small village that is surfable at all tides and breaks close to shore. Best on a northerly swell or larger NNW swell, SE wind off-shore.
Patio Island
The reef juts out on the northern side of the island, providing a nice right hander which picks up on a NE swell. SW winds are off-shore and the wave horse-shoes around the reeef.
Senta Pass
A left hander at the northern end of the island that breaks into the passage. SE wind is off-shore, but it's protected from light NW winds. If all conditions are right, it can be a very long wave, very fast breaking and tubing inside in sections! The reef is exposed at low tide, so this one is only surfable at mid to high tide.
Straight off the island, no boat transfers needed, hence no extra cost. There is a lookout on the beach and a rescue boat on stand-by.
Do we need to say more or do these pictures speak for themselves? This is our friend Carlos from Mexico, having a ball in January this year.
Best times of the year are from mid June to mid September with steady SE winds, then again January – March with NW winds.

Today's post will be about one of my favorite blushes, the Ever Bilena Amethyst Blush. It's in my top five most used blushes and it's something that would never really catch my eye, but I'm super glad that I got it.
It just comes in this packaging and it doesn't have a mirror, a brush nor a box unlike their other Ever Bilena blushes. The lid has a silver Ever Bilena logo printed on it and at the back, you can see the ingredients, how much the product weighs, manufacturing date et cetera.
Swatches: Milani Cosmetics Rose D'Oro, Ever Bilena Earth and Ever Bilena Amethyst.
Ever Bilena Amethyst Blush
I wouldn't have found this gem if it wasn't for Rae @scatterbraintures, so thanks so much ate Rae! This color just seems too pretty. It isn't eye catching and I've definitely missed this a few times in the makeup counter.
I wouldn't have found this gem if it wasn't for Rae @scatterbraintures, so thanks so much ate Rae! This color just seems too pretty. It isn't eye catching and I've definitely missed this a few times in the makeup counter.
How I choose my blush depends on what lip color I want to use. Usually, if I want to use MLBB lipsticks, I use a pink blush. But what if I wanted to go with a dark lipstick or nude? Well, this is where this Amethyst blush comes into play. It goes with everything. It goes well with my dark vampy lipsticks, my reds, my nudes, my plums, even my pinks. It just goes well with everything.
Now, why are there three similar looking swatches above? Here's the difference:
Milani Rose D'Oro seems pretty similar to Amethyst but it has silver glitters in it plus it's just a tad lighter than Amethyst. This blush is more shimmery compared to Amethyst + more fallout. Ever Bilena Earth is also another blush that I often use, but sometimes, it's too brown for me. Sometimes it seems too summery for me when I want a more toned down office look. Amethyst is like the shade in between. It's not too brown and bronzed and not too shimmery at all. It's not matte, so it does have a little glow in your cheeks and gives a natural flush. Plus, this blush is hard to overdo.
This product is not powdery and it's super easy to blend. Just like Ever Bilena Earth, this is a product that's easily picked up by my blush brush and there's almost no fallout at all. It's super smooth and it's a buildable color. I never have any problems with this blush--like I put too much or I put too less and my cheeks are not even--none. It's just super easy to use. I believe this retails for PHP 110.00 but I'm not quite sure since I've had this for a few months now.
Overall, I love it. It's one of my most commonly used blushes. I took this photo months ago while it was brand new and it definitely doesn't look like this anymore haha. This is a great blush for yellow-ish people like me. But it's not limited to that. It would certainly look good too with fairer skin tones and even for morenas for a glowy look. I give it a thumbs up with my oily skin because it lasts almost the whole work day and reapplication is optional. This is a gem for me. Swatch it in stores and see if you think this looks good on you.

From Kara Swisher writing at Re/Code:
According to some pages from the "book" that Yahoo bankers have given out to prospective buyers, the financial situation at the Silicon Valley Internet giant is becoming increasingly dire.
While I cannot show the documents I have obtained, Re/code has gotten access to them. The book, for those not familiar, is made up of disclosure documents that sellers give to buyers to allow them to intelligently prepare a bid. In addition, those interested also have access to a protected data room, with more detailed information.
And, along with reviewing the documents, a series of sellers I have interviewed said that while the Yahoo book is unusually confusing and perhaps purposefully so — more on that below — it shows a company in what has been a serious free fall, which has been apparent to many for a while now and from Yahoo's continuing public downgrading of its prospects.
Still, the collective issues depicted in the book has many nervous about bidding.

People feel that our communities are under threat from closures and cuts.
Essex County Council too often neglects this part of Essex, as can be seen by the appalling state of some of our roads and pavements.
I will fight for a fair share of resources and do my best to support the local businesses and charities that keep our area going. I know that people are worried about the threat to local health services, and the future of Southend Accident & Emergency Facilities. Whilst this may be in Southend, Essex County Council still has a lot of influence and that should be used to make sure local people have access to good quality health services.
I hope you will support me ion the election on Thursday 4th May."
