BERLIN — The leaders of Germany and France, the eurozone's two biggest economies, said Sunday they have reached an agreement about how to strengthen Europe's shaky banking sector amid the region's debt crisis.
"We are determined to do the necessary to ensure the recapitalization of Europe's banks," German Chancellor Angela Merkel following talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Berlin.
A "comprehensive response" to the eurozone's debt crisis will be finalized by month's end, including a detailed plan on recapitalizing the banks, Sarkozy said at Berlin's chancellery.
"The economy needs secure financing to ensure growth. There is no prospering economy without stable banks," he said. "That is what is at stake."
However, both leaders declined to name a price tag for the new measures or elaborate further, saying the proposal must first be discussed with other European leaders.
Analysts have urged the eurozone to identify all the banks in the region that need to replenish their capital reserves, then decide whether to compel them to raise that money on the open markets and to provide government financing to the ones that can't.
Many experts say the capital cushions of many European banks must be strengthened in order to withstand a possible government bond default by Greece. Some analysts fear that a Greek default could cause a severe credit squeeze that would even threaten banks not exposed directly to Greece's debt because banks could be afraid to lend to each other.
The credit freeze following the collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers in 2008 choked off lending to the wider economy and caused a deep recession.
Merkel did not provide details Sunday about how the recapitalization would work, saying only that all banks across the eurozone would be measured by the same criteria in coordination with, among others, the European Banking Authority and the International Monetary Fund.
Any solution must be "sustainable," Merkel added.
Sarkozy said the French-German accord on the proposal "is total."
Germany and France will now submit their proposal to shore up Europe's shaky banking sector to other European Union governments ahead of an Oct. 17-18 summit of the bloc's 27 leaders in Brussels, they said.
Both leaders expressed confidence that a comprehensive European response to the crisis will be finalized before a summit of the G-20 most developed nations in France Nov. 3-4.
"The global economy needs this summit to become a success, and the European Union will do its part" to ensure a positive outcome, Merkel said.
The IMF has said banks across the continent might need up to €200 billion ($267 billion) in new capital. The EU disputes the IMF's estimate, but has warned that lending between banks and from banks to businesses is threatening to freeze up.
Earlier this week, Merkel said that banks must first seek to raise new capital on the market before turning to their government, insisting that the eurozone's newly strengthened €440 billion ($590 billion) bailout fund would then only serve as a backstop if a member state can't cope with shoring up its banks' capital.
France, however, was reported to favor turning to the fund's resources right away instead of relying on a national facility to re-capitalize its banks — who are among the biggest holders of Greek bonds.
But Sarkozy sought on Sunday to dispel the notion of different approaches regarding the European Financial Stability Facility, saying "there are no disagreements."
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble and his French counterpart, Francois Baroin, also took part in the two leaders' discussions.
Merkel and Sarkozy were set to have a working dinner following the news conference they gave at the chancellery.
Germany and France, which together represent about half of the 17-nation currency zone's economic output, regularly hold talks before EU summits to chart out joint positions.
The implosion of Belgian lender Dexia following its sizable exposure to Greek and other eurozone sovereign debt, meanwhile, added a sense of urgency to the talks.
France, Belgium and Luxembourg announced Sunday they had approved a plan for the future of the embattled bank, but they offered no details. France and Belgium became part owners of the bank during a €6 billion ($7.8 billion) 2008 bailout.
While an all-out Greek default appears unlikely, bondholders might still face severe losses, with some analysts maintaining that Greece's debt must be cut by about 50 percent or more to attain a sustainable level.
Private bondholders agreed in July to take about a 20 percent cut on their holdings of Greek bonds as their participation in a second international €109 billion bailout for the country.
But Finance Minister Schaeuble on Sunday joined Merkel and other eurozone officials in hinting that the agreement might have to be renegotiated.
"It is possible that we have so far assumed an insufficient percentage of debt reduction," he told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung.
Such a move will be discussed after the so-called troika of Greece's international creditors — European Central Bank, European Commission and IMF — submits its next progress report later this month, Schaeuble was quoted as saying.
Greece is currently struggling to meet budget and reform targets, but it needs an over all positive progress assessment by the troika to qualify for the next €8 billion ($11 billion) installment of its €110 billion package of international bailout loans to avoid bankruptcy.

I figure I leave some info here, in regards to the upcoming chapters: here's a plan of action I came up with, because this is going to be another flood of cameos. 65 at the time of this post. There's only a handful of us that update the pages whenever we have the time, and there's still a lot of characters that need love. So for now, I'm reaching out to people that want to help submit their own character, or add an update to their existing character in the wiki database.
For those that want to add to their existing character, just submit the necessary details and I or someone will add them. It must be relevant to the main archive only.
1. create a skeleton page for brand new characters, but we won't add it to the respective clan pages until they get their sheets drawn out. gonna make sure things are set in stone.
2. find out which ones are existing, update accordingly.
3. preemptively add their chapter appearance as 52, we will more details as they come.
If you don't know what these funny tags are, don't worry about it. I'll try to add in the necessary links and changes.
I'll use Chigusa as an example of what we're looking for:

Chigusa is a Val'Sharen renegade of [[Nishi'kanta]]'s line.

==Appearance and Personality==
She wears mostly red clothes as is characteristic of those of [[Nishi'kanta]]'s line. Her long yellow hair is tied into a ponytail, and the young Sharen wears the signature armor of an Imperial Guard. Chigusa dislikes her taint and does not want to die by it, often feeling the effects of taint sickness. She rode a dragon mount named Arkeo.
==Biography - Arc II==
Following their sabotage to the defenses at [[Chel'el'Sussoloth#First_Landing|First Landing]], Chigusa travels with [[Chess'riia]] trying to get to a rendezvous point where [[Sil'lice]], [[Nishi'kanta]], [[Kadara]], [[Diva]], [[Dindr'aen]] and [[Perciva]] are waiting.

The art of the 12" company sleeve can really be quite entertaining. The middle sleeve above is not a Big Beat sleeve-- does anyone out there know what company made these? The Alicia Bridges and Travolta sleeves below are not company sleeves, but are good examples of the disco die cut promotional sleeve popular in the early years of the 12". Experiments with the 12" single format began in 1974 and by 1975 a decent amount of promo 12"s had been released. Within a couple of years the 12" single would become the format of choice for promoting dance oriented tunes. By the 80's, 12" records were pressed for most every mainstream hit, dance oriented or not. Springsteen w/ "dub version" b-sides, etc.
Above we have a couple of die cut sleeves used to market LPs, not 12"s. Below there's a Russian example. This sleeve may have been used for either LPs or 12"s, but this particular release is a disco-ish LP.

Many people considered Halo 4 to be the biggest release of the year. The kickstarter for a new trilogy featuring the return of Master Chief and the introduction of the Forerunners as a new main enemy, Halo 4 begins where Halo 3 left off. The Chief and his AI companion, Cortana, are once again thrown into action when the crippled frigate Forward Unto Dawn encounters a mysterious Forerunner shield world. Waking up to a fight is nothing new for Spartan-117, but this battle has more than a few new twists.
Score sounds about right, game is average FPS fare.
credit where credit is due! 343 did an amazing job, im only half way through and already its my favorite halo game, its just sad there seems to be so many bitter people out there that just love to nit pick, got run over by a warthog so that means the ai sucks? seriously halos got some of the best ai around!
if these reviewers are such experts lets see them make a better game!
job well done 343, halo 4 is pure class!
Wait, he disliked the sound effects?
I bought a Bose Soundsystem last year and believe me, this games has the best gunsounds of any Halo before, maybe even any FPS ever.
If we are just reviewing the campaign, I would say the campaign is a 7.5/10. It is good but not that amazing though.
Multiplayer is easily a 9.5/10 and I overall give the game a 9/10.
Game is a step up from that flop of a Halo game called Reach, and I am enjoying it.

Avoiding chloramines in drinking water may boost public confidence in system
By Brian Wheeler
Charlottesville Tomorrow
Thursday, July 19, 2012
Less than a week away from a major public hearing on water treatment and chloramines, the Albemarle County Service Authority heard from citizens on Thursday both for and against the proposal.
Now at least one of its members has come to the conclusion that avoiding chloramines may help maintain public confidence in the water supply.
County resident May Liao started the conversation by encouraging the ACSA to give further scrutiny to the costs of one of the chloramines alternatives, granular activated carbon.
"It really seems like the only reason that people are doing this is for costs," Liao said about the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority's plan to use chloramines. "We have been working with … Integrated Resource Management, which suggests that Hazen & Sawyer's numbers are greatly inflated."
Hazen & Sawyer is the lead consultant working for the RWSA and California-based Integrated Resource Management's Robert W. Bowcock participated in the June safe water symposium hosted by the authority.
"It would be great if we could get a further breakdown of how Hazen & Sawyer came up with those numbers," Liao added. "Just as when you are remodeling a house, maybe we could get a third-party bid and not just trust this number that they are giving."
In February, the RWSA approved a $5 million capital project to put chloramines in public water as a secondary disinfectant. Chlorine is and will remain the primary disinfectant. Chloramines was determined to be more cost effective than alternatives like GAC, which was estimated to cost $18.3 million.
RWSA executive director Thomas L. Frederick Jr. says the cost estimate for carbon filtration is based on the urban water treatment plants running 365 days a year at their full treatment capacity.
Chloramines are created by combining chlorine and ammonia and are intended to prevent pathogens from growing within the water distribution system. The RWSA says a new treatment approach is necessary to meet standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Arvind Rajagopal 2009 'Violence, Publicity, and Sovereignty: Lawlessness in Mumbai' Social Identities 15(3):411-416
The always interesting Arvind Rajagopal starts his discussion of the terror attacks of Mumbai by evoking the 'lawless violence' of the East India Company of old, suggesting that 'once more we are at a time' when the territorial incursions of rampant 'non-state actors' are denounced by politicians, just as the activities of the East India Company provoked calls for the rule of law in the British parliament, and the company was relieved of its rule, subsequently ceded formally to the Empire.
Rajagopal links the piracy of the East India Company to that of contemporary terror discourse: 'On 26 November 2008, terrorists arrived by sea and entered near the Gateway [of India], making an entrance not unlike the pirates of yesteryear' (Rajagopal 2009:411). The trouble with this formulation is that however much the Mumbai attackers can be traced to Karachi, they are not quite the calibre of state sanctioned privateers such as, Drake, Raleigh or the officials of the EIC, nor is Pakistan the likely Colonial power about to impose rule of law upon the subcontinent as part of some global sunset-avoidance regime. Yes, the State of today 'mimics the behaviour of private parties, justifying violence as revenge and practicing torture as the just deserts of terrorists' (Rajagopal 2009: 411-412), but I am not sure the Mumbai scenario exactly fits the EIC analogy. Later in the article Rajagopal chides exactly those who would suggest the source of Hindu-Muslim violence joins up all too neatly with some civilizational clash argument, with Hindu's 'improbably' on the side of Christianity (Rajagopal 2009:415). Without agreeing for one moment that the clash of civilizations argument is coherent, to suggest that Hindu-Muslim violence is somehow projected onto this scenario strangely feels like a ritual evocation of the story of Meerut and the rumours that provoked the 'Mutiny' – which remains unmentioned by Rajagopal, but is implied, and is of course one of the main catalysts for the revocation of the EIC charter in the late 1850s (see discussion in Hutnyk 2004). I think, however, the piracy of the terrorists and that of the EIC is of a different order, vis a vis justifications of State power.
What I am suggesting is that a framing of the Mumbai attacks in terms of a dated moment of crisis of sovereignty belonging to the 1850s (itself deftly discussed by Marx) is an old thinking that does not adequately characterize the Imperial conjuncture of today. Yes, there are parallels, but the lawlessness of the State is the para-site of Empire – the model is not the EIC and its private army, but the Empire proper, from Viceroys through to Sepoys: a State actor that sanctions its own lawlessness as law. Rajagopal goes back too far, influenced perhaps by the thinking of Hardt and Negri, who also made the EIC a point of comparison for the globalism of today. Why though, not think of Empire at its height? The colonial today is full-blown, the Viceroy strides the earth (and her name is Hillary ). Significantly more interesting is Rajagopal's appreciation of the changed media circumstances in which this scenario is played out. Here, the recent history (of media) is evoked (though again with reference to rumours that might just be heard to hark back to that Meerut story) and helps us comprehend the present media scene. The points presented in terms of media and its effects are more substantially grounded in transnational commercial flows, and though this is also well-worked ground, it is worth quoting in detail:
'The attacks of November 2008 were the first terror attacks in India to occur under the full glare of media spotlights, and, after many years of state-controlled media, in an era in which private broadcasters dominate the airwaves. Dozens of 24-hour news channels vie for the Indian audience, many of them subsidiaries of transnational media corporations … In the past, when such violence occurred, the first response by the state controlled media would be a news blackout, followed by terse and occasional news bulletins aimed at the political management of the situation: public safety took second place to the preservation of the ruling party. Citizens had to rely on rumour for information, and of course the source was never certain. Although there was often alarm and panic, any citizen responses were necessarily more diffuse' (Rajagopal 2009:413)
I do find it difficult to concede that the citizen response to partition in 1947, language riots in the 1950s, Naxalbari and its aftermaths in the 1960s and 1970s, anti-Sikh pogroms in 1984, Babri Masjid in 1992, and so on, were merely 'diffuse' [my italics], but the suggestion that a new live news, transnational media, audience competition dominates the public sphere certainly deserves consideration in terms of sovereignty and state control of the instruments of communication. Rajagopal is right to say 'the media take on increasingly state-like characteristics' (Rajagopal 20009:414) – what needs to be further examined is how the imbrications of state power and terror proceed apace. What is hinted at in Rajagopal's title, but not developed, is that sovereignty and violence are intertwined here: of course the work of Georgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, and most of all that of Walter Benjamin will be crucial, and more careful readers will need to be deployed. It is well and good that Rajagopal indicates the terrain upon which explanations, and useful analogies, may be sought, but what is to be avoided is any suggestion that this new 'lawless' moment can be wholly understood as a rerun of the piracy of the EIC. If this analogy is to work at all,, the comparison should be exactly with the consequences of the imposition of formal colonial rule, the removal of the powers of the Company in favour of an organised Governmental force, and thereby the systemic crushing of the anti-colonial threat of the 'Mutiny' and its consequences (including its diffuse 'rumours' of a possible independence – see Mahasweta Devi's amazing book The Queen of Jhansi). News media of the like of NDTV x 24 are not much more than the propaganda wing of the State machine, now diversified into business in convoluted but effective ways. And of course there was a terror czar trotted out to be the Giuliani of Mumbai (chief of police interviewed…), but he was not charismatic enough to then run for mayor – not every history repeats as farce. Rajogopal has presented some interesting comparative moves, but maybe not necessarily exactly the ones that are most apposite.
Thanks as ever to Virinder Kalra for discussion that provoked some of the ideas here.

Making robots cheaper, more capable, and safer at Bosch
Bosch is unique among PR2 Beta Program recipients in that it's not a big university with a well-established robotics research program. Rather, Bosch is best known for making everything from automotive parts to power tools to home appliances, including the washer and dryer that UC Berkeley is using to teach its PR2 to do laundry. So how did Bosch end up as part of the PR2 Beta Program? Engineer Benjamin Pitzer explains that as an industrial research lab, Bosch is able to "offer something that other people can't." Instead of just teaching its PR2 to do clever things, Bosch is helping the robotics community work towards the long-term, big picture for commercial household robotics: namely, figuring out what it's going to take to get a PR2-like robot into your house.
To make this fantasy happen for real, Bosch is working on ways of making robots safer, more capable, and more affordable, and its PR2 Remote Lab tackles all of these issues at the same time. Bosch is building this Remote Lab together with Brown University, which recently purchased a PR2 of its own. The idea behind the Remote Lab is to develop a framework that allows a PR2 to be controlled over the Internet, providing a browser-based infrastructure that includes sensor feedback, 3D models, and camera streams. Before you get any ideas, though, Bosch says that there are safeguards in place to prevent you from remotely driving its PR2 (named Alan) out the door and causing some serious mayhem.
The Remote Lab enables human-in-the-loop control of a robot, where a person can jump in and take over for an otherwise autonomous robot if it encounters a particularly tricky or dangerous task. This makes robots both more capable and cheaper -- instead of having to design a robot that's 100% autonomous, you can instead build one that's 90% autonomous (which is much easier to do), and just have a human remotely take care of the other 10% when necessary.
Like UC Berkeley, Bosch has also been teaching its PR2 to fold clothes. Unlike UC Berkeley, Bosch has taken a different approach to folding by cutting out the whole perception problem that Berkeley has been focusing on. Instead, its working on the next step beyond perception: determining good overall policies for folding and unfolding clothes that the robot may not be already familiar with. This is part of the point of the PR2 Beta Program specifically, and ROS in general: different sites can explore different aspects of the same problem, and then combine their progress to solve complex problems (like folding) much, much faster.
Another demonstration that Bosch has been working on is the product of a hackathon, where the entire engineering team focused on one single problem over the course of a week. During this week, they taught their PR2 to use a Dremel tool (made by Bosch, of course) to carve pictures and text into a plank of wood. Bosch has developed a special controller that uses sensor feedback to give the PR2's arms more precise motions, and it hopes that cheap sensors will enable the next generation of less expensive, more capable robot arms.
Bosch's ultimate vision is to develop a generalized household robot that's affordable by just about everyone. Technologies like the Remote Lab and inexpensive sensors will allow for an affordable, capable, Rosie-style household robot, and when you buy one in the not-too-distant future, there's a good chance it's going to be from Bosch.

The flannel makes this an especially soft bowl. Reversible as both sides match
I made these for my Mom when she was in her 80's so she could take hot food out of the microwave more easily. You put the bowl in the cozy, set it in the microwave, and remove it with both hands right to the table. You touch nothing hot and spills go on to the holder.
It let her be more independent in the kitchen.
Friends love it also, you can keep it in your lap while you or the kids are watching TV.
Drips and crumbs go in the washable holder rather than the couch, chair or floor.
Serve something hot and carry it more safely.
These are sewn to make a bowl shape with topstitching for sturdiness
All are lined with natural cotton batting , free from chemicals and bleach, suitable for repeated machine wash.
The image of the blue cozy is to show how it looks with a bowl in it

I have been progressing through the 33 day preparation for Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary.
I am well over half way through it, and it has tested my faith every step of the way. I do not mean that it has made me question my belief in God. It has not put my belief in Jesus or the teachings of the Church to the test. Far from it.
What it has tested is the limits of my willingness to live my life based on that belief. Just how far will I go in following Jesus? A book I reviewed today, Fight, also tested those limits.
That seems to be the season I am in. On the one hand, the prayers and meditations of Total Consecration have pushed me to consider just what I will yield to another person, even the person of the Mother of God. How much can I trust anyone, even her? Specifically, how much of my relationship to God, to Jesus, will I yield to her rather than doing it all myself?
Fight challenged me with the question of how far I would follow Him, how completely would I do what He asks, even when I really don't want to.It's really all one question and Jesus asked it best: Do you love me more than these?
His mother answered that question in the affirmative every time in every way. When the Archangel Gabriel asked her to assent to what was death-dealing anathema for girls of that era — unwed pregnancy — she said yes. When Simeon told her how it would end, she said yes. At the wedding at Cana, when she sent her child forward into His ministry which they both knew would culminate at Calvary, she said yes. When she prayed with the Apostles for the birth of the Church before Pentecost, she said yes.
Mary, like Jesus, had to be resurrected and taken into heaven as part of the divine plan. He gave her to us from the cross, and once again, she said yes.
She had to be lifted up because we need her there. The Immaculate Conception of Mary was the door opening on our salvation. She was then and she is now an outstretched arm, pointing to Him.
"Do whatever He tells you," she instructed the wine stewards.
She says the same thing to us.
Because, as I am discovering and wrestling with, when she is your guide, there are no limits to following Him.

- 1 cup canola oil
- 10 large or colossal green pitted olives
- 10 large or colossal black pitted olives
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 beaten eggs
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound manchego cheese, cubed
- 1/2 pound serrano ham, thinly sliced
Step 1
Heat canola oil to 350 degrees F. (Drop a very small piece of bread crumb into the oil if it starts to sizzle the oil is hot enough.)
Step 2
Drain the olives.
Step 3
Mix flour, garlic powder and chili powder together and place in a shallow dish. Pour eggs into another dish, and bread crumbs with ground black pepper into a third.
Step 4
Roll the olives in the flour, then roll them in the beaten egg and finally roll them in the bread crumbs. Set on a plate to give the breading a chance to dry and form a crust while the oil heats.
Step 5
When oil is hot, put half the olives into it, being careful not to drop them and splatter hot oil. Fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels. Be sure to tip the oil out of the center of the olive. Serve on a platter with Manchego cheese cubes and slices of serrano ham.

Venue management, local leaders discuss Artpark's future at public forum
by Joshua Maloni
Artpark has one goal in mind for the 2012 summer season: smaller crowds watching bigger musical acts.
"We're shooting for a smaller number that is manageable," said Chris Brown, chairman of the Artpark & Co. board of directors. At a public forum held Tuesday at the Village of Lewiston Red Brick School, he told a crowd of between 150 and 200 that venue management can't handle crowds exceeding 25,000 or 30,000.
Brown said Artpark & Co. is in the "development stages" of a $4 million master plan that calls for a reconfigured outdoor amphitheatre that will provide for a safer and more comfortable concert atmosphere for park patrons.
The proposal also calls for Artpark's concert area to be surrounded by a fence. Concertgoers will likely have to obtain a ticket. Whether or not there is a cost affixed to that is uncertain. But, Brown said, the result will be smaller audiences.
"We're trying to aim for 10,000 to 12,000 for a concert," Brown said.
He told residents "we understand the impact" of this past summer's concerts, which were highlighted by back-to-back weeks of 30,000 in attendance (Lynyrd Skynyrd on July 26 and ZZ Top on Aug. 2). "We don't want to repeat that."
Though the crowd size might change, Brown said Artpark & Co.'s goal is to continue providing top-name acts. The venue has received Buffalo Place Magazine's "Best Outdoor Venue" award four consecutive years. Last summer's headliners included Peter Frampton, Pat Benatar, Cheap Trick and Creedence Clearwater Revisited.
Assemblyman John Ceretto called the public meeting following several complaints from residents in the wake of Artpark's record-breaking shows, and concerns expressed by the Village of Lewiston Board of Trustees about the effect of 30,000 people descending on the one-square-mile village in an evening.
"We're all here for the betterment of Artpark," Ceretto said. "We want to do better next year."
"We want to co-exist; we want to make our experience better," Brown said.
"We understand what you're saying. It's loud and clear," he added.
Different Strokes for Different Folks
Ceretto was joined in the front of the gym by Brown, Artpark President George Osborne, local police representatives, and Village of Lewiston Mayor Terry Collesano, who began the meeting by saying, "The success of Artpark has brought on some problems for this little village."
Police Commissioner Al Soluri said all Lewiston police officers were on active duty for "Tuesday in the Park" nights. LPD-issued tickets were up versus last summer, and Soluri said the total manpower cost to taxpayers was $60,000.
"It's quite a burden to cover Lewiston and Artpark (at the same time)," he said.
Osborne and Brown both said Artpark & Co. cannot afford the cost of children's programming and ticketed shows such as the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra without the beer, parking and sponsor monies derived from the venue's rock concerts, "Tuesday in the Park," in particular.
Still, Artpark & Co. management expressed a willingness to compromise on rock concert crowd sizes, suggesting the fence-and-ticket model as a means to that end.
"Artpark & Company has been very open ... and considerate to our wants and needs," Collesano said.
"We work very hard to try and answer every complaint," Osborne noted.
While the village and park management are working together to find a solution, Lewiston residents remain divided.
"The idea of 30,000 people is reckless at best," said Lewiston resident Frank Felicetti.
"Containment is key," resident and merchant Bob Giannetti said. "You need to contain the noise."
He added Lewiston wouldn't accept Artpark's noise levels from any other entity. Giannetti said Artpark & Co.'s productions fall short of past years ("Nothing today lines up to its original glory.") and booking rock acts lacks courage and imagination.
Town resident Brian Peunic told Giannetti he couldn't have it both ways. He said Artpark needs rock concerts to subsidize the BPO and similar productions.
"You have to have something to fund it," he said.
Giannetti said his store only attracts Artpark customers when they've paid to attend a show. Village resident and merchant Jamie Symmonds said the opposite.
"I do very well on Tuesday nights," she said, noting customers stop in, buy new clothes and wear them to a free concert. Or, when they don't buy something immediately, they often come back and purchase items at a later date.
Symmonds said Artpark management is quick to find common ground with those issuing a complaint.
"I've never seen two people more willing to compromise," than Osborne and Director of Marketing and Development Maureen Kellick, she said.
Symmonds also asked about the noise and congested streets generated from festivals and Hennepin Park Gazebo concerts.
"You shouldn't just pick on Artpark," she said.
Soluri said Artpark management is on the right track.
"Nobody wants Artpark to fail," he said. "I think what we're after is a peaceful coexistence."
Collesano said his board would continue to meet with Artpark & Co. in preparation for the 2012 summer season. Ceretto also told residents they are welcome to contact him with questions or concerns.

We've grown used to music being little more than files: small, compact, disposable. We rarely listen to physical records any more, let alone actually listen to a whole album start to finish. We are such busy people leading busy lives; music must be ever-evolving - reflecting feelings on a whim. Whether we're at the gym, punching it out to 'Eye of the tiger' or in an airport listening to Eno's masterpiece Music for Airports - we can find music to match moods just as soon as our thumbs will let us. God bless evolution. God be praised for opposable thumbs: no longer simply for holding club sandwiches but also perfect for the spinning, clicking wheels on aesthetically perfect MP3 players. We're just one 'click' away from completing every moment.
I suspect you can remember a time when you bought a record, tape or CD (possibly with your parents' money) and lay on your bed listening to it in your room, rapt by the accompanying lyrics and artwork. That doesn't happen so much now we have MP3s. We rip or download…and go. "I can carry thousands of songs; hundreds of albums. Quality's for losers! Look at the amount, bruv – even at 320kbps, I got 4 days of music on this! And I can play it on my phone."
What has this got to do with France's Angil and the Hiddntracks? Curse your impatience – I was getting to that. If you miss the old days of listening to a whole album, Ouliposaliva may be your salvation.
The unpronounceable title comes from a French group of writers who practice the art of constrained writing. Constrained writing in this case is the practice of not using the letter 'e' anywhere in the lyrics. This, then, would appear to be the aural equivalent of Georges Perec's novel which he wrote without the inclusion of a single 'e'. It makes you wonder what the French have got against the letter 'e'…
There are many striking features of Ouliposaliva: the dark comic art of Guillaume Long which beautifully captures the albums mood is what hits first but then, looking at the disc, it's impossible not to notice the creative commons license granting us listeners permission to copy and sample the contents of the disc. Hey, cool! But would you want to?
"You most probably don't want anything bad to occur," sings Angil (Mickaël Mottet) "but if you avoid risk – you'll just pass away." If words like these wrapped in avant-garde, dusty, lo-fi, jazzy trip-hop don't immediately turn you off, then it's quite possible that this could be for you.
'Do not think', 'Narrow Minds' and an emphatically delivered and wonderfully harmonised "fuck you" are the strongest indicators that a less than favourable response is predicted. The percussion of 'Took no drugs, had no drink' is nothing more than hand-claps and foot-stomps embellished by what sounds like a ring pull being dropped into a glass jar. 'Trying to fit' is almost hip-hop in its lyrical delivery but all offset by a jarringly ghoulish out-of-tune piano and layered with thick, classical melodies played out on strings.
Consumed by sheer artistic madness, Ouliposaliva will have you flipping chaotically backwards and forwards through the booklet, whilst its metaphysical philosophy will leave you ruminating on more than just the music. Mottet deploys verbal poetry like Soul Coughing's M. Doughty and, like Javier Bardem in 'No Country for Old Men'; he's almost always a step ahead of you. This truly is an album you can't just dip into, it's a winning concept. And though it may not win millions of hearts, for those with time, it's a truly rewarding experience.
"Is it shit music?" Mottet asks, and before you can respond, he replies "No, it's not. It's sounds to occupy my vital air." How do you argue with that?
