The only Concert Orchestrion ever produced by the famous builder, Gavioli & Cie, Paris, France, is now in our inventory and ready for purchase by a museum or top-end collector. Gavioli is known world wide for its magnificent fair ground organs, band organs and crank organs but little was known about its Concert Orchestrion, until recently.
Just before the turn of the century (ca. 1898), Gavioli produced a large self-contained classical 101-key book playing Concert Orchestrion. Gavioli envied the "popular organs of the "day" produced by Welte. Therefore, he studied the Welte organs in the Black Forest of Germany and decided he could produce the "largest and best" concert orchestrion ever built.
Gavioli had a vision of producing 13 of these fine instruments (expanded range Weltes), for installation in the walls of large homes in France or with cabinets requested by the buyers. It has now been confirmed by a world's authority that instrument design was based on a Welte 6 Orchestrion with range and features up to a Welte 10, the largest produced by Welte. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE IN EXISTENCE AROUND THE WORLD, produced by Gavioli in 1898.
This first instrument was placed in a magnificent case with "gold" filigree, over 252 metal and wooden pipes, lots of carvings, a 90-key book playing mechanism, a rank of exposed facade pipes and a keyboard with 11 pull stops for manual playing. Twenty-one classical "Gavioliphone" organ books, dated December 3, 1900, were produced and are in "like new" condition today.
After producing this first concert orchestrion, Gavioli decided against his plans for the production of 12 more instruments. Production costs for this high quality instruments were above the turn-of-the-century market so no more were ever produced by Gavioli. Perhaps Welte "objected" to the "copy cat" design with his friend Gavioli Sr.??

Recently obtained historical information shows this instrument was likely used as a "demonstrator" in the Gavioli office / factory in Paris, France, at the turn of the 20th century. As business slowed, Gavioli focused on their worldwide sales of fine band and fairground organs and less on their new adventure into the Concert Orchestrion market. "Gavioli & Cie" became "Gavioli S.A." in 1904, confirming that the Gavioli we now own was produced before that time. Recent information confirms that this instrument was designed after the Welte orchestrions and is declared as "the most important mechanical instrument during the 20th century" in an upcoming, authoritative book on "orchestrions".
This orchestrion is a magnificent 12-1/2 foot high instrument, which includes a wonderful carved gallery. At the center top of it's 10 foot high main case, in brass inlay, is "Gavioli & Cie" and underneath is "Paris." Its history after the turn of the century and its "disappearance" from the Gavioli factory were recently clarified. The instrument was shipped to a collector in Italy and returned to France just before WWII, where it remained until 1999. At that time, most items in this French collection were offered to buyers all over the world.
The Gavioli Orchestrion is totally original and complete. Overall, it measures approximately 12-1/2 feet high, over 6 feet wide and about 5 feet deep. It weighs about 1,500 pounds (uncrated and assembled). There are 21 original classical music 90-key books for the instrument. In addition, more classical books will be produced in Europe in the Spring of 2007 by Arthur Prinsen, world-renowned music arranger and producer. IN ADDITION, the Gavioli has a non-obtrusive 100-key MIDI Welte player installed along with several hundred original "Concert Welte" midi melodies for SPECTACULAR, ORIGINAL PERFORMANCES.
The organ has received a "100 points + historical restoration" in the wonderful shops of a well-known fourth qeneration international restorer; one of the finest restorers in the world, with over 80 years of family operation and experience.
This one-of-a-kind, confirmed "historically significant" orchestrion deserves only the finest collection or museum. Its absence from Europe will be sorely missed. It's return to its "birthplace" in Paris, France, is doubtful.
Acknowledgments: I wish to express my sincere appreciation to those who furnished historical knowledge on this important Gavioli instrument, particularly Arthur Ord-Hume of Europe.

Honor-bound as I am by said media's professed belief in full disclosure and avoiding even the appearance of impropriety, I hereby acknowledge that:
a) The author and I have for some time exchanged comments of a friendly nature on each other's blogs
b) He sent me the book, signed, with a note I presume he wrote himself
c) I have drunk Guinness in his sister's pub, and
d) Sod the mainstream media. I'm writing about the book anyhow.
I can't quote from the novel, but I will say that its prologue tiptoes to the precipice of death and peers over. And this prologue thing — McKinty makes votive offerings at the shrine of Ernest Hemingway, but I'd bet he's read an old horror tale or two as well. He knows how to lure a reader in.
More to come.

text: Just recently bought my macbook air 11in Ultimate. I tried to watch a 1080p HD movie recently and it lags every once in awhile, especially at certain action scenes and water scenes. The file is an mkv file that is @ about 11gb, and I am using VLC as my player. Do you guys have any recommendations as what I should be using to watch the HD movies? Playing using QuickTime lags even more than VLC. I thought the Geforce 320M should be sufficient enough to decode HD films. I have yet to try a 720p film yet.

A couple of times I had been snowed out and if it rains, the two track is dangerously slick and one might end up in the ditch which would make for a long walk out and a very expensive tow out, even if possible. Watching the weather is very important even in May.
Hunting in the rain tomorrow as it is the last day I can get out there. Needed this thread to get even more amped up!
There is no doubt that is this beautiful turkey country, hard to hunt and a real challenge to find and kill a tom but that is the challenge for us all regardless of location and habitat.
If smart, we just "smell the roses", buck up and enjoy the experiences around us. All in all, it was a wonderful hunt. I will be back and thankful to be living in a great state.
As you can see, there is more to this story.
my best, Paul
Thanks for the pics, stories and taking us along!
A road trip to Pagosa Springs sounds good. and maybe next year we can get together on a hunt. my best, Paul
God Bless,

Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck vowed Tuesday that authorities would track down those responsible for a rash of dry-ice bombs at Los Angeles International Airport, saying, "We will catch the people involved."
Beck declined to share many particulars about the investigation but said authorities have not identified "a nexus to terrorism" and instead "think this is probably internally based." He said police would push to have those responsible "vigorously prosecuted."
"Whether you think this is a harmless prank or a way to disrupt operations at the airport, it won't matter," Beck said. "You will go to jail."
Four devices have been found at the airport since Sunday, Cmdr. Blake Chow of the LAPD's counterterrorism bureau told reporters Tuesday. The first detonated about 7 p.m. Sunday in an employee-only restroom in Terminal 2, authorities said.
About 8:20 p.m. Monday, Chow said, airport authorities alerted the LAPD that another device had been found on a tarmac at the Tom Bradley International terminal. An employee found that device, which had already exploded, Chow said.
The LAPD bomb squad was called to the scene and rendered safe two additional devices that had not detonated, Chow said. All three of the devices discovered Monday were found in an area accessible only to employees, he said.
Investigators are examining the devices for fingerprints, DNA and other forensic evidence, Chow said, and are reviewing surveillance cameras to see whether any of them captured footage of the suspect or suspects. Detectives are also interviewing employees and supervisors, he said.
There has been some confusion about how many devices were found -- and how many were detonated. But Chow said they believe the tally of dry-ice bombs is four, two of which went off -- one Sunday and one Monday.
The FBI is assisting in the investigation, and security has been increased at the airport.
"What concerns me the most about this is a huge drain on resources for what may be a sophomoric act," Beck said. "Our bomb squad rolls, I've got my absolute best detectives on this -- which I will continue to have, but that is a limited resource."
The devices have all been plastic, Beck said -- "more of a noise device than a device that causes damage" -- but the chief said officials remain concerned about the dangers of "highly volatile" dry ice. Chow said a dry-ice bomb could potentially "blow up with as much force and as much damage to an individual as a pipe bomb."
"They're not some prank that somebody left behind," Chow said. "So once we identify the suspect, he's going to be in a significant amount of trouble."

From Roanoke, Virginia, USA:
My daughter just recently had her five year check-up. When we got home, the doctor called us back saying there was sugar in her urine. He wants to re-test her in two weeks. Should I be worried? Do I take all the sugar out of the house and go sugar free? We do have a history of diabetes on both sides of the family. My husband and I do not have diabetes.
I would suggest that you review the Symptoms of Diabetes on our web site. There is no need to go "sugar free" at this point. Your daughter clearly needs some further testing to determine the source of the sugar in her urine. There are some simple blood tests that help determine whether your daughter may have diabetes. I would suggest proceeding with that testing immediately and not waiting for two weeks.

Sept. 24, 2003
Tallahassee, FL –
Florida State head coach Patrick Baker handed out his weekly Seminole Rookie of the Week and Player of the Week awards today. This week's recipients were both voted to the Nike Seminole Classic All-Tournament team this past weekend. Freshman forward Julia Schnugg, who was named the tournament's offensive MVP, took home rookie of the week honors while senior co-captain Kristin Boyce was named player of the week for the second time in two years.
Schnugg has been on fire as of late scoring four goals and recording three assists in her last three games and she made a huge impact in bringing Florida State back to .500 with two wins last week at the 2003 Nike Seminole Classic. The Alamo, CA native not only scored three goals and assisted two others in the two games but her golden goal versus No. 21 (SoccerBuzz) Ole Miss gave Florida State the tournament title. For her efforts she was named the tournament's offensive MVP with eight points. After her big weekend, the speedy freshman now leads the Tribe in goals (4), points (13) and assists (5).
"She started Friday night and went on to score early and often," said Baker. "She was really pumped up for the game and that carried over from warm-up into the first few moments of the Miami game. She got us going early by being really dangerous with the way she got around the corner, scored goals, served the ball in and assisted other goals. Julia was doing a lot for us. It was one of the more impressive individual performances we've had from such a young player.
"One of the lessons she learned from the Ole Miss game was that she probably wasn't having the impact against the Rebels that she had the game before but to her credit she stayed persistent. She waited for the opportunity to change the complexion of the game and sure enough she did that in overtime with a golden goal."
Schnugg started the tournament with a big game versus in-state rival Miami as she set the tone with two first half goals and an assist in the 7-1 rout. Her five first half points were the second-most ever scored by a Seminole in the first half of a game and her six total points were the third-highest single game total in FSU soccer history. Schnugg saved her best for last though against an Ole Miss team that came to Tallahassee tied for the nation's best record at 7-0-0. After giving up the equalizing goal to the Rebels with just 2:59 remaining in regulation, the Tribe was forced to go into overtime to try and get back to .500 for the first time in 2003. With just over six minutes gone in the first overtime period Schnugg fired a shot on frame that ricocheted to fellow freshman India Trotter. Trotter's shot was blocked right to the feet of Schnugg who turned and buried the game-winner. It was the first game-winner of the freshman's career and Florida State's first golden goal since Leah Gallegos' game-winner versus Clemson in 2002.
Player of he Week Boyce headed a Seminole defense that held No. 24 Ole Miss to its fewest goals in eight games and had the Rebels' offense shutdown for over 87:00. She and the Tribe backline also held Miami to only seven shots and two corner kicks in a 7-1 win. The only Cane goal came with just over five minutes on the clock and the FSU starting 11 primarily on the sideline. Versus a potent Ole Miss offense, the defense allowed just one corner kick and held the Rebel offense that was averaging over four goals a game to just one goal, which came with 2:59 left to play and that goal didn't even come in the run of play.
"I thought Kristin put together two great performances versus Miami and Ole Miss," said Baker. "Defensively, she did a great job of stepping when appropriate, delaying when appropriate, forcing the right players into the right channels and had a huge heading presence both nights, especially versus Ole Miss. Our entire backline was dominant in the air but Boyce did a great job in that regard.
"Also her ability to get forward was huge for us. She was causing unbalancing situations in our opponent's midfield and getting close to the restraining line. She also served some great balls in. She was a complete player in the back both on the defensive side and the offensive side of things."
Boyce's role in the offense was especially present in the game versus No. 21 Ole Miss when she played a key role in FSU's best goal-scoring chance in the first half. Katie Beal sent a short free kick across the field and wide to Boyce. The senior defender dribbled up the left sideline and swung a great cross into the box at the far post. The clearance ended up right at the feet of Schnugg a few yards in front of the goal at the near post. The Californian blasted the shot but Gillespie made a huge save to preserve the tie.
Boyce almost had another assist in the 51st minute as she once again put pressure on the Rebel defense. Beal and Boyce combined on another free kick; this one was sent down the left flank and onto an overlapping Boyce. The defender sent another brilliant cross into the center of the box and onto the head of Ratliff. The midfielder's shot just missed the mark as it sailed over the crossbar
Schnugg, Boyce and the Seminoles continue their home schedule this Friday, September 26 at 7:00 p.m. versus the 14th-ranked University of Maryland (5-2-1). The game is Florida State's conference opener and there is no admission charge.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Stella Show Promotions filled Ohio Village, the State's historical reproduction village, with The Country Living Fair for the fourth year at this site. Open for the weekend of September 16-18 the Friday attendance topped 10,000 which was typical of the tremendous draw this show has had for its six year history.
Jean Stella, speaking with Antique Trader early on Saturday morning during the show said "we were worried that with the flooding in our New Jersey office just a week before leaving for this show we might have had some problems, but the show is going just great! Fantastic crowds, good sales for the dealers and it seems that the [attendees] were happy with what they saw, what they did and what they were buying."
Exhibitors at the show fall into three categories: food, antiques dealers, crafters and artisans. Crafters and artisans are at the front of the show grounds with crafts ranging from weaving to high fashion to furniture and toy makers with a great deal in between. Food was in two categories: food products to take home for special purposes and special recipes and food prepared onsite to enjoy as a meal that day or to take home.
|Visiting shortly before opening of the show's second day, exhibitors were recovering from the delightfully strenuous day before with 10,000 visitors and great sales. Here Urban Farm House was putting their exhibit together again for the Saturday crowd.
The antiques dealers are grouped in the back of the show and most have been at one or more of the prior Country Living Fairs, so they knew what to expect from attendees. Bruce Knight, the owner of Heart of Ohio Antique Center, in nearby Springfield, was selling a mixture of antiques and some collectibles for home décor. The sales of the first day were so strong he, his wife Vivilyn, and their staff were busy restocking Saturday morning. They were both very animated in their reporting that the customers were buying well, and that the purchases were small things in the majority.
Antiques exhibits and the exhibitors were focused on small items which set a tone for the décor of a room or even the whole house. While shabby chic is not the ubiquitous term to describe all of the décor offered at the show, many antique pieces were shown slightly repurposed for modern living. A small row boat or canoe was set resting on its transom, with seats turned into shelves; old tool boxes and work benches now ready to use in kitchens as cabinets and countertops: furniture and benches from factories, with fresh bright paint, were offered as kitchen or bar stools and patio accessories.
In one case, a factory cart, with a top about counter high, was offered with the suggestion it house a gas grill, giving a small living area the flexibility to roll it out on to a balcony or terrace. Bunk beds were made from industrial shelveing, drawers included. Heart of Ohio offered a wide chest with three columns of drawers, four drawers to each column, all in a variety of paint colors on turned early 19th Century feet. St. Louis exhibitor, Jo Ann Culbertson, found a pair of heavy work stands with a flat plank door laid over them to creati a table seating eight or 10.
There were many antiques in original primitive finishes as well. A Virginia hunt board was in its original finish, offered at $7,800 by Geraldine Carr of Norfolk, Va., showing its age but holding up well.
Bette Blau of Antiques at the River in Barryville, N.Y., was offering more antique furniture than her tent would hold. An early primitive pine drop leaf table offered for less than $400 was among her inventory.
Traveling from Eddyville, Ky., Tricia Letempt was showing an assortment of textiles, furniture and household accessories from the 18th and 19th centuries. Early linens from several exhibitors including a colorful selection offered by La Cigale of Mt. Gretna, Pa., originally came from Europe.
HGTV's Cash and Cari, the estate sale television program was there live and in person. Cari [she pronounces it kaah-ri] was exhibiting in tent filled with antiques and early home furnishings from RePurpose, her shop in Northville, Mich. Cari, on her show, which airs at 7:30 p.m. EST on Sundays, conducts tag sales, estate sales and also has a large shop selling antiques, vintage and more household goods, from their own inventory and consignments.
Stella resume's its management of the Country Living Fair in Atlanta at Stone Mountain Park come Oct. 21-23, 2011. Another show is coming April 2012 in Austin, Texas. Details and advance ticket sales are available at Stella Shows, Country Living or call 866-500-3247.

Kenzington Burger Bar in Barrie, ON
Hey Guy!My husband and I absolutely LOVE this restaurant called Kenzingtons in Barrie, Ontario. They have the most incredible burgers we have ever had. Many people aren't aware of this jem, so we thought we could help put them on the map.My (Sarah) fav burger is the Rodeo Burger. All of them come on a killer pretzel bun, fresh, homemade patties and ingredients. They also have amazing poutine and onion rings! Every friend/family member that visits is brought here. Great food and great prices.http://www.kenzington.ca/Sarah Hope

Homeowners can save money on the cost of professional duct cleaning by comparing prices of contractors and inquiring about discounts on packing services, such as both duct cleaning and vent cleaning. Money can also be saved by personally cleaning ducts and vents instead of hiring professionals.
Although professional duct cleaning services have powerful equipment to remove debris and caked-on dust within the air ducts, homeowners can attempt to remove some of the residue by scrubbing the vents with a mixture of bleach and water and vacuuming out the air ducts with a long vacuum hose. It may not be possible to remove all of the dust trapped within the air ducts, but homeowners can still minimize build up with touch-up cleaning at the entrance of the air ducts and on the register vents.
Duct cleaning itself can help homeowners save money. For example, duct cleaning can improve the energy efficiency of a HVAC unit, ultimately saving money on utility bills. In addition, routine duct cleaning can protect the HVAC equipment, resulting in less costs for repairs. Homeowners can also save on health care costs by removing dust, pollen build up and allergens within the ducts that circulates into the air, ultimately resulting in less medical costs for allergy or asthma treatments.

Yes I know this palette is not new but I found it for $14.99! Where would something that is normally $36 dollars be $14.99 you ask? MARSHALLS!
I know the box says compare at $28 but all too faced 9 pan tins retail for $36.
The outside packaging is adorable! It features a leopard/cheetah print. Same size and shape as other too faced 9 pan tins.
Enough about the outside, Im sure what you're all waiting for is to see the inside!
Beautiful selection of colors and the names are too stinking cute! I love how the too faced 9 pan tins all are seperated by day, classic, and fashion. It's also nice that the last row can be used wet or dry or even as liner! Plus they all come with a little booklet over the mirror to show you three looks that you can achieve with each section! How awesome is that?
Now to show you the swatches! plus excuse my arm as I have a bit of an allergic reaction going on at the moment, I apologize.
Im going to do the swatches by row of day/classic/fashion.
Top to bottom:
- Purrr
- Tiger's Eye
- Leopard (wet/dry)
Top to bottom:
- Meow
- Pussy Cat
- Jungle Love (wet/dry)
- Kitten
- Kitty Glitter
- Panther (wet/dry)
As you saw above 3 shades are quite larger than the other 6, those shades are the top swatch of each photo.
- Larger pans individually: Net wt. 2.0g/0.07 oz
- Larger pans total: Net wt. 6.0g/0.21 oz
- Smaller pans individually: Net wt. 0.9g/0.03 oz
- Smaller pans total: Net wt. 5.4g/0.18 oz
All in All I personally think the two faced palettes are worth the $36 dollars but if you can find some of them cheaper then definitely pick them up!
Leave a comment below if you'd like to see the other 9 pan tin I have!

I assume that all (or most) ppl who supported this idea haven't changed their mind, so I'd like to clear the language matter with this poll.

When I made the ultimate decision to jump in feet first when founding Audrey's Rescue Angels in the summer of 2013, one goal I was committed to was having our supporters be involved in the fundraising as much as possible. As someone who gives A LOT to charities, I get constant requests for money. While I know all too well how IMPORTANT monetary gifts are, I also believe that it's important to help make our supporters feel like they are apart of the Audrey's Rescue Angels' family. We try to do this by hosting events where people can both donate AND have fun while feeling like they are part of the process.
So, without further ado, I am beyond ecstatic to announce that our little organization is taking a BIG step and will be hosting our first annual 5K run/1M walk on Sunday, May 8th to help raise money for Audrey's and our general fund.
While each year we receive more and more support, Audrey's Rescue Angels is still run and operated by a VERY small team. Planning and executing a 5K race is slightly daunting, but I know that this event will be a complete blast and will once again allow our supporters to come out, join together, have some fun with their pups, and make a HUGE difference in the lives of animals.
Now onto the details! As I mentioned, the run will take place on Sunday, May 8th along the Chestnut Hill Reservation. Registration will begin at 8am, and the run will begin approximately at 9am. We are working on confirming some very exciting details and sponsors, but our Eventbrite page is now live and you can register (please note you must register to participate). Please help us make our inaugural year a huge success and sign up today to join us. There will be vendors, refreshments, giveaways, and plenty of fun to go around for the whole family.
Over the next two months, you will hear a lot about our Run Fur Fun but as always, if you have any questions, or are interested in sponsoring the run, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for your support, and I look forward to lacing up and making a difference in the lives of animals with YOU on the 8th. Come earn your wings with us and become an angel to an animal in need!
Brittany and the Audrey's Family

Thank you all for the help and kind comments.
She seems to be sore and slow the day after a walk. We have had to cut back on the length of her walks as well. I now have to lift her into the SUV as she can no longer jump up.:sad:
It's been this way for a few months and the Vet told us it was her age when we went for needles some months ago. Now, after being told its Hip Displasia we just want to see what can be done to bring down her pain level and help her feel better. She seems depressed.
I will check out the suggestions and links provided.
Thanks again everyone.

Why do so many "creative types" create geographic boundaries for themselves when it comes to working independently? I'm constantly amazed by email, phone call and speaking engagement questions and comments from solo creatives related to what are perceived as the limitations of their local geographic markets.
Huh? I don't think I got the memo about the Federal government building walls around local communities to keep designers, writers, photographers and others trapped in their hometown environments.
Admittedly, when my initial Internet presence went live in 1998, my website was intended to primarily serve as a portfolio for a predominantly local clientele. I wasn't expecting email requests for information about my services from potential clients across the United States – and then from around the globe. Suddenly there were no restrictions to the target market for my business. In the decade since, 80-85% of my business has been for clients outside of the State of Oregon.
Most of that work has been accomplished cyberly. However, some has involved travel, and an even greater escape from the self-imposed boundaries of one's home studio or independent office. I enjoy travel and make the most of taking my portable "office" with me. Advancement in communication technology has resulted in added creative freedom. – whether working from a backyard garden or anywhere in the world.
So, set your mind – and body – free! Eliminate the geographic boundaries, or personal excuses, that may prevent you from true creative independence.

Australia's largest vegetation management company is using cutting-edge mapping technology to combat a key cause of the dangerous bushfires and blackouts that plague the nation each year: severed powerlines.
Using technology from Geographic Information System (GIS) specialists Esri Australia, Active Tree Services developed a high-tech vegetation monitoring and management system which layers detailed maps of electricity networks over weather and vegetation data.
Powerlines severed by falling branches during extreme weather have been linked to several bushfires in recent years, including the 2009 Victorian Black Saturday tragedy that claimed a total of 173 lives.
Over the past summer, fears that extreme heat and high winds would lead to severed powerlines and more bushfires led to electricity cuts in large parts of South Australia, while thunderstorms and scorching temperatures caused similar concerns in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.
Active Tree Services Chief Information Officer Justin Sheppherd said there was a need for a new approach to vegetation management.
"Trees around powerlines can lead to increases in the risk of electricity supply disruptions and bushfires," Mr Sheppherd said.
"Systems are needed to comprehensively identify and complete maintenance work to reduce these risks and meet compliance standards.
"GIS technology enables us to map large amounts of information about the condition and location of vegetation around powerlines, which in turn results in better reporting and clearer transparency about the risk to the network."
Mr Sheppherd said their GIS-driven vegetation management system allowed information to be uploaded directly to a centralised data portal.
"We then integrate this information with other layers of data displaying management histories, tree species and other factors," Mr Sheppherd said.
"The end result is a detailed picture of the state of the nation's electricity network – helping us ensure every branch along the powerlines we monitor is properly maintained."
Active Tree Services' vegetation management system will be on-show this September at Ozri 2012 - Australia's leading GIS technology event.
Ozri 2012 Technical Director Kellie Persson said Active Tree Services' had been selected to present at the conference as they showcase one of the most advanced and robust asset data collection and management systems in the world.
"Through their creative use of GIS technology, Active Tree Services have created an interactive, digital dashboard of their areas of operation – which provides a level of insight and situational awareness that previously wasn't available," Mrs Persson said.
"For example, while a current vegetation management cycle might dictate trees near powerlines in a certain area should be cut back every three years, other uncontrollable external factors may come into play, such as drought or flood.
"GIS technology enables Active Tree Services to analyse these scenarios and delay or bring forward the cycle, which results in a safer environment, reduces over or under-servicing and delivers more efficient resource use.
"It's a best practice asset management model that users from any industry can take inspiration from – and will certainly be a talking point amongst more than 500 leading GIS professionals attending Ozri 2012."
Hosted by Esri Australia, the market leader in Australia's $2.1 billion spatial industry, Ozri 2012 is the largest GIS conference in the Asia Pacific.

An Inland Valley medical marijuana dispensary is one of dozens that federal prosecutors in California are ordering shut down and warning their owners and landlords they face criminal charges or seizure if they don't comply.
On Friday, the state's four U.S. attorneys announced at a Sacramento news conference they have increased efforts to stop retail sales of marijuana and its cultivation despite California's 15-year-old medical marijuana law.
Anti-marijuana forces are claiming the announcement as a victory for their side.
"In the last five months, our side is seeing tremendous momentum where before that it was that we were taking shots at one another," said Paul Chabot, founder of Rancho Cucamonga-based Inland Valley Drug Free Community Coalition. "We feel this is the beginning of end of medical marijuana as as we know it."
Rodney G. Jones, chief of police in Fontana, agreed with Chabot's thoughts.
"I think if you look in the last couple of weeks there has been a significant change for the marijuana dispensaries," Jones said.
Jones said Fontana still has medical marijuana dispensaries, and his department will send out letters to them.
"We will advise them of the federal government position and our position," Jones said of Fontana's ban on dispensaries.
On Thursday, prosecutors filed three forfeiture actions against some of the properties, including one in an unincorporated area of Montclair – Montclair Caregivers, 5514 Mission Blvd.
The business, according to the action, is operated in the name of Mariano Ivan Canillas.
"While Montclair Caregivers claims to distribute marijuana for medical purposes, such distribution is not a recognized exception to the Controlled Substances Act," according to the document.
San Bernardino County Code enforcement personnel has repeatedly given citations to the dispensary that have been mostly ignored, according to a Department of Justice news release.
On Friday at noon, business appeared brisk at Montclair Caregivers. Employees at the facility refused comment and said they would leave a message for its owner.
Thom Mrozek, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, said he was unaware the Montclair facility was still operating Friday.
"I didn't know that," Mrozek said, adding that a letter will put its owners on notice that "we are targeting this facility."
U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner, who represents the Central Valley, said in Sacramento that marijuana shops close to schools, sports fields, parks and other places where there are a lot children were being targeted along with "significant commercial operations" that includes farmland where marijuana is grown.
Mrozek said letters had been sent to all known marijuana stores in Pomona, Montclair, Upland, Claremont and Chino as well as those in Orange and Riverside counties.
"We are taking action against the commercial marijuana industry," Mrozek said on Friday. The letters sent are just "the beginning of a process."
"Just because you didn't get a letter doesn't mean you should feel confident you will not be targeted by the federal authorities," Mrozek said.
Meanwhile, those in favor of dispensaries were not happy with the announcement.
"I'm kind of bummed out," said Jan Werner, vice president of The Clearview Lake Corp., which runs marijuana collectives in Bloomington and Corona. Werner said his attorney was drafting a letter in response.
"It will all play out in court," Werner said.
Werner, who said he had not received a letter from federal authorities, did not believe the announcement was the end of the medical marijuana industry.
"Here's the real scenario: Marijuana has been used for over 3,000 years as medicine. Because of federal regulations our country is back in the stone ages," Werner said.
Lanny Swerdlow, a Riverside County marijuana activist and radio host, called the announcement "very disappointing" and felt police were behind the action.
"They are concerned medical marijuana will lead to marijuana legalization. This will cost them their $20 billion dollar taxpayer-funded full employment program," Swerdlow said.
Swerdlow also felt the announcement was a presidential political ploy.
"In exchange for (police) support in the election, President Barack Obama has broken his promise to leave medical marijuana patients alone and states that allow medical marijuana," he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Student Government Association is proud to introduce a new partnership between Campus Kitchen and Billiken Dining Services! Thanks to the hard work of the students on the SGA Food Committee, the leftovers from Griesedieck Dining Hall will be donated regularly to Campus Kitchen, currently operating in Reinert Hall. The leftovers will be cooled, prepared into meals and donated to agencies and individuals in need.
Currently, we are looking for volunteers to assist in transporting leftovers from Griesedieck to Reinert, so that the leftovers can be used for this project. If students are interested in volunteering via Alpha Phi Omega, this project will be integrated as a continuous service project. If you are intersted in volunteering otherwise, please email Senator Krishi Peddada via firstname.lastname@example.com.

On August 11, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the CFPB or Bureau) issued a "consumer advisory" concerning virtual currency and also announced that it would begin accepting consumer complaints about virtual currency or virtual currency companies. These actions are the consumer agency's first foray into virtual currencies, and they follow a recent GAO report that recommended the CFPB play a larger role in the development of federal virtual currency policy.
Consumer Advisory
The advisory describes virtual currencies, briefly notes their potential for innovation, and cautions consumers about the numerous and significant risks the CFPB believes virtual currencies present for consumers. Specifically, the CFPB cautions virtual currency consumers that there are risks related to hackers, fewer consumer protections, costs, and scams. The advisory elaborates on the risks for each stage of a virtual currency transaction: purchasing, storing, or transacting in virtual currencies. For example:
- Purchasing: Warns consumers purchasing virtual currencies to beware of cost fluctuations and potential scams.
- Storage: Expresses concerns about data security risks and the lack of federal insurance for virtual currencies.
- Transactions: Advises consumers transacting in virtual currencies to read their agreement with their wallet provider and be mindful of the risks of linking their digital wallet account to their bank account or payment card.
Consumer Complaints
The Bureau announced that it is working on a new form for virtual currency complaints, but in the meantime will accept such complaints using its money transfer complaints form.
Virtual currency complaints will be subject to the CFPB's standard complaint process. As described in the CFPB's most recent consumer complaint report, once a complaint is submitted, the CFPB sends the complaint to the appropriate company and works with the company to get a response within 15 calendar days. Each complaint is published in a public database after the company responds to the complaint or after the company has had the complaint for 15 days, whichever comes first. If a company can demonstrate within the 15-day period that it has been wrongly identified, no data for that complaint will be posted unless and until the correct company is identified. The CFPB states that if it receives a complaint about an issue outside its jurisdiction, the Bureau will forward the complaint to the appropriate federal or state regulator.
Jurisdictional issues notwithstanding, the Bureau promises to use all virtual currency complaints it receives to better understand the virtual currency market and its effect on consumers. The CFPB also asserts that it will use complaints to help enforce federal consumer financial laws and, if appropriate, take consumer protection policy steps. The Bureau has demonstrated through its examination and enforcement activity in other areas that consumer complaints play a significant role in the Bureau's risk-based approach to supervision and enforcement. Moreover, the CFPB recently proposed to publish consumer complaint narratives with other complaint data already made public, noting in its proposal that by increasing consumer complaint volume, publication of narratives would benefit "the many Bureau functions that rely, in part, on complaint data to perform their respective missions including the Offices of Supervision, Enforcement, and Fair Lending, Consumer Education and Engagement, and Research, Markets, and Rulemaking."

I told them I did not have the money to donate anything because I had just paid all of my bills and only had enough to get me through the week. They agreed to take my address and the pledge card came today, they also called just a little bit ago to check on if the pledge card had arrived (they also called a few times this week while I was outside with my dogs and I couldn't get to the phone in time). I am so gullible I almost donated to these people, luckily I have an amazing husband who made me look them up before he would support my donating to them. We will not be donating now, and the pledge card is in the trash. Thank you so much for posting this and keeping it up, I know now to look these things up before making any donations.

Then Googled "Breast Cancer Society," found their contact info and called them to complain - (888) 470-7909. I calmly asked that they remove my name & number from their list.

Or for that matter, to face a trial where this stuff might come out. Which is why they freaked out so much about, say, the release of David Hicks, and added a bunch of conditions:

After his release from Guantánamo, Hicks returned to Australia and was placed under a one-year gag order prohibiting him from speaking to the media. As part of his plea agreement, he was also required to withdraw allegations that the U.S. military abused him and agree not to take legal action against the United States.

Because large portions of the show are unscripted, Maher's writers feeding him prefab lines notwithstanding, it is often a good gauge of the range of opinions out there. His audience also gives immediate feedback in the form of groaning, booing, and applause. But Maher uses the show, at least in part, as a bully pulpit, with frequent bogus assertions of fact, truth, and his own authoritative opinion. Yet his expertise is in comedy, and I simply don't buy that being a newshound and political junkie confers much authority over his guests.

Maher's statements underlying his current conflict are textbook bigotry, enabled by what you refer to as the spotlight fallacy. Softening that, as Reza Aslan attempts, by saying that Maher doesn't mean it spitefully, cuts no ice with me. Part of the problem is that adopting the jokey insult as a rhetorical form allows Maher (and other comics) to utter the most odious things imaginable and then take refuge behind the joke. In fact, getting the laugh, even after the groan (shades of Johnny Carson), justifies pretty much anything he might say. That, in turn, makes Maher irresponsible with his influence. Further, lots of earnest people of faith out there don't respond to nastiness about their beliefs. Maher hasn't exactly singled out Islam for abuse, but pretty close.

The wider issue of whether Maher is a suitable commencement speaker is not very important. He is certainly excellent at comedic line delivery and would entertain the commencement crowd better than the blowhard NYT columnist who spoke at mine years ago. Objectionable opinion (racism, bigotry, misogyny, etc.) doesn't fully disqualify a speaker except perhaps the most vehement kinds, especially when warhawks who do much more actual damage in the world populate lecture circuits. However, in my experience, student bodies as mobs lack the nuance to entertain actual debate, not that a commencement address is in any fashion a colloquy. So instead they protest to silence uncomfortable or questionable opinion, accomplishing email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973827.post-70199375820410852812014-10-26T06:31:17.495-04:002014-10-26T06:31:17.495-04:00I had them send me their informaiion in the mail. ...I had them send me their informaiion in the mail.

There is a simple answer to your question. There is a free alternative to Style XP at http://www.eliteguild.com/articles/s...p?id=16&page=3. It allows you to use all the Style XP skins you already have.
