It's funny, our photographer kept our wedding party with us the whole time and afterwards I said to my husband, I don't think we have many of just us. But apparently he was taking them in between... the whole thing is a blur to me.
The major thing I would have done differently was had made someone in charge of the reception to keep the flow going. We needed an MC. It was my photographer who let us know that we were really falling behind. We did our first dance right away at the beginning which I liked, but then we took way too long for dinner. By the time we did speaches and the father/daughter dance and mother/son dance it was 9:20pm (for a reception that was supposed to end at 10pm!!) We bought an extra hour, but I really wish we could have bought two extra hours but they wouldn't let us. So yeah, I would have give someone the job of MC so that speaches could have been done during desert or something so dancing could have started earlier. But anyway, it's all irrelevant now and everyone had a fabulous time. I just had this awesome playlist on our ipod and we had to cut out over an hour of it!!
Oh! and!!! use soundcheck!!! Our dinner music kept going loud and quiet. I got major flack from my big bro over that one, lol What can you do? It's a little late now.
TGIF girls!!!

Highlights from the Fifth Annual Blues & Boogie Pi
- Artist: Ricky Nye
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 5/18/2004
|your cart is empty
The BLUES-iest edition of the 'Highlights From The Blues & Boogie Piano Summit' series- the FIFTH Anniversary Edition-recorded LIVE at Newport, Kentucky's Historic Southgate House on Saturday, November 8th, 2003- this edition lays heavier on the blues, with outstanding contributions from the one and only ANN RABSON, Chicago's son of piano blues, Chuck Goering (better known as BARRELHOUSE CHUCK), patriarch of Texas/Santa Fe-style piano pickin', CHARLIE BOOTY, and myself, Cincinnati Ohio's RICKY NYE- outstanding accompaniment from my partners in 'The Swingin' Mudbugs', TONY FRANLKIN on drums & NICK LLOYD on upright bass- enjoy! Yours truly, Ricky Nye ...& here's a review from The Cincinnati Enquirer: Monday, November 10, 2003 Piano virtuosos convene at Summit By Chris Varias- Enquirer contributor Ricky Nye knows how to throw an all-night piano party. Nye, Cincinnati's ambassador of boogie-woogie, hosted his Fifth Blues & Boogie Piano Summit Saturday at the Southgate House for a turnout of more than 300 people. Piano players from as far as Europe have come to Newport to participate in the annual event. This year's bill featured four Americans and had more of a bluesy feel than the straight boogie-woogie the European players favor. Charlie Booty, Barrelhouse Chuck and Ann Rabson rounded out the lineup. Each performer did his (or her) own set before a free-for-all finale of all four players on two baby grands. Booty kicked off the four-hour event. The 75-year-old resident of Milan, Tenn., proved the most faithful of the foursome to the boogie-woogie tradition, rolling through a set of solo instrumentals. He never strayed far from the melody on a tried-and-true version of 'Deep Elem Blues' and played it equally cool on the boogie tribute to Big Maceo Merriweather, 'Maceo Stomp,' and Booty's own piano-roll blues composition, 'Euro Blues.' Nye came next. Who in town consistently puts on more entertaining performances than Ricky? And, of course, it was Ricky who rocked the hardest on this night. Backed by a Cincinnati rhythm section of bassist Nick Lloyd and drummer Tony Franklin, Nye ran through Hersal Thomas' 'Suitcase Blues,' eased through a nice-and-slow 'C.C. Rider,' and finished things off with the piano jump-blues standard 'Roll 'Em Pete' and his own 'Creole Boogie.' Barrelhouse Chuck is a Columbus native who went to Chicago to learn from and live among legends. He set incorporated lessons taught in the Windy City clubs: licks from the likes of Little Brother Montgomery, Otis Spann, Sunnyland Slim and Pinetop Perkins, with songs ranging from the lesser known Floyd Jones's 'Any Old Lonesome Day' to Howlin' Wolf's larger-than-life 'Sitting on Top of the World.' Rabson, one-third of the blues-revivalist group Saffire - the Uppity Blues Women, was the most successful of the performers at pounding a unique personality out of piano blues. She likes to have fun, as her penchant for Huey 'Piano' Smith and her gender-flipped take on 'Three Hundred Pounds of Joy' proved. In fact, she tackled the problem blues singers with good lives have in a song she wrote called 'He Really Makes It Hard for Me to Sing the Blues.'

Frankonian Lake District is in the south-west of Nuremberg in the county of Germany.
The biggest lake of the district is the Brombach Lake. The Big Brombach Lake is a storage lake with about 12,7 square kilometers and about 17,5 kilometers shoreline bigger than the Tegern Lake. Its depth is about 32 meters. The scenic Small Brombach Lake is inserted in the Brombach and Igelsbach valley. Full beaches and the activity on the water show a high attractivity of the recreational Small Brombach Lake. With its 2,5 square kilometers, the lake invites to people to go swimming, surfing, sailing, fishing, and boating.
European biggest Trimaran passenger ship, MS "Brombachsee", crosses the Lake in line operation daily. The coastline is unspoiled, there are bike paths and hiking trails around the the lake. Four recreational establishemnts and 1000 sailboat places are an ideal surf and sailing paradise. An ideal viewpoint is the Two-Lake-Place in Enderndorf am See.

Warwickshire hope to remove the drama that has accompanied the crowning of the county champions in each of the past two seasons by securing the title with one match to spare in Worcester this week.
The Bears make the short journey to their relegation-threatened Midlands rivals for each team's penultimate fixture of the season with a comfortable 22-point cushion over their only remaining challengers – Sussex, who face Somerset at Hove. Warwickshire need only to beat Sussex's result by two points to be mathematically sure of their first Championship since 2004.
That would remove any danger of them suffering a repeat of last September's agonising near miss, when at the start of the last day of their last match of the season against Hampshire at the Rose Bowl they were strong favourites – only to be pipped at the post by Lancashire. The year before that it was Somerset and Yorkshire who were denied on a dramatic last day by Nottinghamshire – Warwickshire's opponents at Trent Bridge in next week's last round of fixtures. The Bears have bounced back impressively under the shrewd management of Ashley Giles after last year's bitter disappointment, and are in contention for a rare double having qualified for the CB40 final against Hampshire at Lord's on Saturday week after beating Lancashire in the semi- final at Old Trafford.
Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott, the county's England batsmen, will be available for that game, and Bell has confirmed that he has already texted Giles to remind him, having scored a match-winning century when they beat Somerset at Lord's two years ago. "The way they played in the semi, I might not get in," admitted Bell, who has always shown an admirable desire to help out his county whenever the crowded international schedule allows - and made four Championship appearances at the start of this season.
Theoretically, the pair will also be available for the last championship game at Nottinghamshire. An England statement on Monday – and England issued a statement on Monday stating stated that Trott did not break his hand, as feared, when he was struck by Dale Steyn in Sunday's win at Lord's, so he could still play in the last match of the NatWest one-day series at Trent Bridge on Wednesday.
Kevin Pietersen continues his unexpected stint in county cricket with a second consecutive appearance for Surrey as they aim to escape the relegation zone in a home game against Notts. Surrey have a 17-point cushion over Lancashire who need a win against Middlesex at Lord's this week to have any chance of overtaking Surrey in their last fixture. In Division Two, Derbyshire have the chance to secure promotion by beating Kent at Canterbury. That would also be a good result for Yorkshire, who are 19 points behind Derbyshire in the second promotion place, but only four points ahead of Kent with Hampshire also in contention .

Staten Island Congressman Michael Grimm was one of the first Republican House Members anywhere in the Northeast to endorse a Republican presidential nominee, and the Congressman remains 100% behind his choice — former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney — as tonight's critical Iowa caucus vote approaches.
"I think it will be a very big day for Governor Mitt Romney," Congressman Grimm boldly predicted in an interview. "People are starting to accept the fact that he has the experience and he's the only one who can beat Barack Obama. I'm hoping that this is the beginning of the wave."
"I'm excited," he further added. "I feel real, real good about it."
On the other top presidential contenders in Iowa, Congressman Ron Paul and former Senator Rick Santorum, Congressman Grimm was far less positive.
"I think Ron Paul's ignorance on the subject of Iran is intolerable and dangerous," Congressman Grimm said of his isolationist House colleague. "I just can't support his views when it comes to our foreign policy. He just wants to put his head in the sand." Grimm's feeling are echoed by New York City's one other Republican Congressman, Bob Turner, who has said that every potential nominee except Congressman Paul would be an acceptable GOP candidate to take on President Obama.
Although not as overtly critical of former Senator Rick Santorum, Congressman Grimm also found him lacking. "I think that Rick Santorum is a little too polarizing," he explained. "He'll rally the conservative base, but he'd alienate independents, and that's not what this country needs right now."
The vast majority of New York's GOP establishment who've endorsed in the Republican presidential primary have also gotten behind Mr. Romney's candidacy, including a swath of elected officials and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos. The former Massachusetts Governor has also been raising hoards of campaign contributions from New York's many wealthy Republican donors.
The congressman himself can't be accused of understating the importance of the overall 2012 presidential contest. "I feel that this is one of the most important elections in my lifetime," he said. "If not history."

Ausgrid denies job cuts
Electricity provider Ausgrid is denying union claims it plans to axe up to 1,000 jobs in the Hunter.
Ausgrid spokesman Anthony O'Brien says only 780 jobs are being cut mainly by natural attrition and voluntary redundancy by Ausgrid, Essential Energy and Endeavour Energy across the state.
The Electrical Trades Union is claiming leaked internal documents show thousands more jobs will be cut to prepare for the privatisation of the network's 'poles and wires'.
Mr O'Brien says the accusations are wrong.
"Unfortunately those claims are based on documents that have been misinterpreted by the union," he said.
"They have applied a scale to a document that has no scale.
"They've unfortunately used their own calculations to come up with a result that is wildly inaccurate."
But the union says managers from the power companies need to come clean and admit they are looking to strip about two-thirds of the workforce.
State secretary Steve Butler says it is a farce to suggest the cuts will be restricted to 780.
"We don't believe that's the case at all," he said.
"We don't believe it's a reference to those jobs.
"We believe it's a reference to much deeper, much more savage cuts on top of those 780 jobs."

The news about D — the "sunshine" vitamin that loves your bones, nerves, muscles, heart, blood sugar and may even help fight cancer — just got a little better right in time for cold and flu season.
In a headline-grabbing report, Japanese researchers found that taking 1,200 IU of D-3 supplements daily can cut your risk of catching influenza A by 50 percent.
And even though there has been recent press about a French meta-study that casts doubt on D's disease-fighting ability, we're still devoted to vitamin D-3 — from food, sun and supplements.
We think that study didn't look at the results of serious deficiency — and it's estimated that overall around 42 percent of adults have D-3 levels below 20 ng/ml (in general, levels below 30 ng/ml are too low for bone health), while 82 percent of blacks and 70 percent of Hispanics are deficient.
There's plenty of solid research showing the real benefits from vitamin D-3, which won't harm you if taken at recommended doses. A daily dose of at least 600 IU (800 IU if you're 71 or older) but no more than 4,000 IU, helps your body absorb and use more calcium (great for bones); discourages cancers of the colon, breast and prostate; lowers your risk for autoimmune disorders, such as Type 1 diabetes; and can assist with blood pressure control, too. There's also growing evidence that having sufficient D-3 helps your cells absorb blood sugar properly.
One reason we're excited by the Japanese study of D-3's impact on the flu is that it highlights how vitamin D-3 boosts immune cells' ability to spot and pick off invaders, such as viruses. But D-3 is no substitute for a flu vaccine. Go get one — it's not too late — and then do this:
Get your doc to check your D level. Levels below 20 ng/ml — that's where almost half of all North Americans come in — are dangerously low, raising the risk for thinning bones and surgical complications. We recommend aiming for 50-80 ng/ml. If your levels are low, your doctor may prescribe a high-dose D-3 supplement for a few months, then test your blood again.
Aim for 1,000 IU daily. Make sure your supplement is D-3, also known as cholecalciferol. It's more stable and does a better job of raising D blood levels, and that's what counts. It's also smart to reach for D-3-rich foods: fortified dairy products, such as fat-free milk, low-fat cheese, low-fat, no-sugar-added yogurt, have D-3; so do fortified breakfast cereals and orange juice. Salmon's a rich natural source with a whopping 447 IUs in a 3-ounce serving. But it would be tough to get enough D-3 every day just from food.
Mix brands. After a recent analysis found big variations in the amount of D-3 in many supplements, Dr. Mike started taking D-3 from more than one brand. Switching back and forth on different days could help average out low or high levels in supplements.
Take it with lunch or dinner. A study at the Cleveland Clinic, home of Dr. Mike's Wellness Institute, says you can increase vitamin D-3 absorption 50 percent by taking it with your biggest meal of the day, since D-3 is fat-soluble.
Don't rely on the sun. Older people, those with darker skin and anyone living in Canada and the northern half of the U.S. (where the sun's rays are weaker) can't make enough D-3 from the sun during the winter. If you live farther south or just about anywhere during spring, summer and fall, expose your face, hands and arms for 15 minutes a day to get a natural dose. (Skip this step if you're at high risk for skin cancer.) Then apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 that protects against UVA and B. A light-skinned person in the Northeast can stimulate the release of around 20,000 IU of D-3 into the bloodstream with 15 minutes of sun exposure on face, arms and legs, without sunscreen. Dark-skinned people generate half or less of that amount.

PORTLAND – Thousands of people descended on the Portland International Jetport on Saturday, but they weren't toting luggage or waiting to be checked by security.
And instead of hopping on commercial airlines to destinations around the world, they had the opportunity to climb into an array of aircraft right from the tarmac.
The seventh annual Portland International Jetport Aeronautical Expo continues through today.
"It's to get people beyond getting on a carrier airline. There's more to aviation than that," said Airport Director Paul Bradbury.
As people of all ages milled about among smaller planes, others flocked to a military plane and helicopter parked at the far end of the tarmac.
Isaac and Zoe Dinnerstein of Cape Elizabeth patiently waited their turn to sit inside the cockpit of a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter.
"It's cool," said Isaac, 8, and his sister Zoe, 5, agreed.
"It's just very complicated," he said, looking toward the cockpit. "It's cool how people invented all this stuff."
Nick Stahl, a flight medic with the Army National Guard, was nearby telling attendees all about the aircraft. The helicopter, based out of Bangor, is still used on missions and can transport as many as 12 ambulatory patients, he said.
As he opened a hatch in the bottom of the helicopter, Stahl pointed out a cargo hook to Bryant Feyler, 6, of Westbrook. That hook can carry a 5,000-pound concrete weight that the crew trains with, Stahl said.
"The idea is to get people out on the tarmac," said Greg Hughes, the jetport's marketing manager. "They get to get up close and personal to look at aircraft and talk to the pilots."
Bradbury said the event also helps promote "passion in the young people" toward aviation.
Heads tilted to cloudy skies as three brightly colored parachutes glided through the air, powered by a small engine. The demonstration by the Chuting Eagles Powered Parachute Team was one of few active elements to the "mostly static" show, Hughes said.
Others included demonstrations of radio-controlled aircraft and paid rides in a helicopter or biplane.
The expo offered something for everyone, even those up for a bit of a challenge. Nineteen teams competed in the annual Multiple Sclerosis Society of Maine "Plane Pull" fundraiser. The goal was to see which team could pull the 200,000-pound Fed Ex Boeing 757 across a span of 12 feet the fastest.
Each team spread its 25 people out along the length of a rope, bracing for the moment the announcer said, "One. Two. Three. Pull."
They pulled with all their might like a game of tug of war against the plane.
The fastest time was clocked by a team from Time Warner Cable, coming in at 5.059 seconds.
The teams raised about $25,000 for the organization, Hughes said.
"The real winner of the plane pull is the MS Society," he said.
The expo continues from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. Admission and parking are free. For more information, visit www.portlandjetport.org.

Massimiliano Allegri concedes he has been under pressure since the start of his Milan career and suggests the way forward. "We can't keep wasting chances."
The Coach is thought to be hanging by a thread after a disastrous start to the season with just seven points in seven Serie A games and the derby defeat to 10-man Inter, leaving them in 11th place.
"There's not much point talking now. Our objective has to be climbing the table without thinking about the first, second, third, fourth or fifth place," he told Milan Channel.
"We are in a position that nobody expected at the start of the campaign. We were naive when conceding some goals and in a few occasions also unlucky. We've got to improve our defending on set plays, but also be more consistent in front of goal. We haven't scored many compared to the chances created."
The players have come out in public to support Allegri, while Vice-President Adriano Galliani also confirmed the club's faith.
"We started on July 9 with a completely new squad, aware that we would've run into some difficulties. I must admit, we've had more problems than anyone expected," continued Allegri.
"We mustn't see everything as a disaster if the results don't come. We do have to improve, but these are great professionals and we will climb back up the ladder.
"It is impossible to change everything from one day to another, but we do need to find consistency in our results. This is why it was disappointing to lose the derby when we played good football.
"Many things have been said over the last few months about my rapport with the President, with Galliani and the team. I speak frequently with President Silvio Berlusconi and since I first arrived at Milan we have never had an argument.
"He understands the difficult moment and is disappointed, but he told me to stay calm and encourage the squad. I have always felt this faith in me from the club. Now it's time to get results. I can only smile at the media furore, as I've been up for debate since my first year at Milan. I'm used to it by now."
The Rossoneri struggled with a series of injuries, as Robinho is not 100 per cent fit and Alexandre Pato hopes to return after the break for international duty.
"Robinho will be very important for us this season, as he has great technique. So does Pato, who is now ready to come back even if he still lacks match fitness. Pato has matured and has a sense of responsibility, so we expect goals.
"The thing we are paying for the most at the moment is our tendency to waste chances. This is why I am calm, as the football is there and we create the opportunities. We need more goals and above all a better average of goals scored from chances created. That has a huge influence on the standings."

Todd Terje came through late last year with two wonderful new tracks of his singular dance music. Now he's gone sunny side up again with a remix of M's 1979 classic "Pop Muzik," and true to form he unleashes ecstasy for ten minutes, where the listener bounces between endless subtle crescendos like land mines filled with confetti. Here's hoping we don't have to wait another thirty years for another remix this fun.

55 Years of Florida Trend
April 1958 (first issue)
Florida Trend's first issue featured a stylized rocket and numerous references to the federal missile program, which had produced 15,000 jobs in the state. The issue's lead story was on Florida's "Negro Labor Force," a statistic-heavy piece chronicling the migration of African-Americans out of rural counties. In an article on the state's industrial prospects, Trend cited the opinion of B.R. Fuller, executive director of the Florida Development Commission, that, "In the fiercely competitive interstate poker game to attract new industries, Florida apparently holds all the aces in the deck."
June 1958
Power Broker
Trend's founder, Tampa businessman Harris Mullen, developed a special relationship of sorts with legendary Florida businessman and power broker Ed Ball, who was pictured on the magazine's third cover. Ball ran Alfred I. duPont's business conglomerate in Florida, which included banks (Florida National), a railroad (Florida East Coast) and paper mills (St. Joe Paper Co.) along with real estate and insurance businesses. Though he disputed his influence, Ball was feared widely. He drank a whiskey toast each evening — "confusion to the enemy" — rarely spoke to reporters and even less rarely provided detailed information about his business affairs. Mullen got exclusive interviews with Ball on several occasions including in 1958, 1967 and 1977. Ball died in 1981. Mullen died in 2008 at age 84.
November 1960
Sam Gibbons, the 16-time congressman from Tampa who was featured in an Icon interview shortly before his death in 2012, was a state senator in November 1960, when he told Trend: "I think the best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party would be for a strong Republican Party to challenge them. Because there really is no Democratic Party in Florida. To be a party, it would need party discipline, party patronage and a party philosophy. The Democrats in Florida have none of these." He added that harder-fought and longer campaigns resulting from a two-party system "would not be all to the good. It would bring the national party platforms and policies as issues into local campaigns, where they can have no real meaning."
April 1962
Familiar Refrain
A quote from a National Association of Manufacturers representative in Florida Trend, complaining that "so many of our prospective employees have little or no understanding of the basic economic principles under which the free enterprise business system operates, and in which most of them will spend their working lives."
The item went on to report that a survey had asked Florida high school students to complete the sentence: "The American business system cannot function without …" with one of four choices.
The results: 52% of the students picked "more government planning and control." Only 28% chose "keeping the profit incentive alive." 12% chose "reduction of taxes on business."
January 1966
Liquid Assets
In recent years, Florida Trend has been closely identified with coverage of water-related issues. The magazine's recognition of the importance of water goes back much further, beginning with this cover story in 1966. In the course of growing by some 4 million people between 1946 and 1966, Trend wrote, "through all those years, the saying has been: 'One of the greatest things about Florida is its limitless resource of clean water.' Well, it's not limitless. And a lot of it is no longer clean."
March 1976 / January 1993
Political Pairings
Florida Trend has a long history of provocative political coverage. The cover on the left shows Don Tucker, speaker of the Florida House, and Dempsey Barron, president of the Senate, playing chess. It anticipated a slightly different pairing of two political figures, Gov. Lawton Chiles and Associated Industries President John Schebel.
December 1976 / February 1997
Women CEOs
A Trend cover in the 1960s showed several unnamed women at work at an electronics company, but the first women CEOs on the cover appeared in the December 1976 issue. Among the three women pictured on the cover was Joyce Beber (on left), an ad executive who co-founded the Beber-Silverstein Group in Miami. The firm did a campaign for the state of Florida with the tagline, "The rules are different here" and also did ad campaigns for hotelier Leona Helmsley, who hired and fired the firm four times. Coincidentally, Beber's daughter Jennifer, president of the company today, was featured on Trend's cover in February 1997 (on left) — also in a group of three women.
January 1980
Temper, Temper
The January 1980 cover story featured the tempestuous owner of the New York Yankees, who owned American Ship Building in Tampa. Acknowledgement of Steinbrenner's generosity as a philanthropist competed with his reputation for a quick temper. From the story: "He yells a lot," one former Steinbrenner public relations representative recalls, reflecting further, "A lot."
September 1986
High Flier
David Paul, CEO of CenTrust Savings, took over a $2-billion S&L that was losing $9 million a month and built it into the biggest S&L in the South, with $6 billion in assets. The savings and loan industry tanked later in the decade, and CenTrust failed in 1990 at a loss of $1.7 billion. Paul went to prison for making personal use of millions of dollars in company funds and became an icon of the S&L-collapse era. In July 2010, Paul spoke with Florida Trend, saying, "To say that I stole $2.5 million out of a bank that I and my family and two close friends owned 85% of is absurd. The public thinks that, but it's not true. I wasn't broke when I came down here. I already had made $150 million."
December 1988
Legal Eagles
This cover is noteworthy for its portrayal of Chesterfield Smith, founder of the firm that became "Florida's law firm," and a young Bill McBride, who rose to become managing partner of Holland & Knight and run unsuccessfully for governor. McBride died last December.
May 1995
Among the many Florida Trend stories on filmmaking in the state was this one, which pictured model/actress Cindy Crawford being made up for a scene in a forgettable movie called Fair Game. The photograph drew a number of letters, both supportive and critical, including one from a reader who said she would cancel her subscription, if she had one. The issue was Trend's best-selling issue ever on the newsstands.
May 2000 / May 2007
Aqua Men
Two recent Florida Trend covers featured men either actually or apparently standing in water. In May 2000, Lew Lautin, a wetlands mitigation banker, appeared to be face-deep in a swamp. That image was created using a carefully constructed platform. In May 2007, Jerry Maxwell, general manager of Tampa Bay Water, actually stood in the bay. The story detailed his agency's difficult experience with a desalination plant.
March 2006
Record Holder
Jeb Bush's record established him as one of Florida's most influential governors. The March 2006 issue was the third time he had been pictured on Florida Trend's cover — the most ever by any politician.
August 2006
Education-related coverage has become a hallmark of Florida Trend in recent years. This cover from August 2006 profiled students from the U.S., Korea, Germany and several other countries and examined the courses they were taking and their overall high school experiences.
April 2006
The cover story, featuring the McGowan family, recent arrivals in south Florida, profiled Florida's average daily population growth and the demographics of the new arrivals to Florida who fueled the real estate boom. The story has an almost ominous tone seen against the coming housing bust and recession. In a sidebar, Jeb Bush was quoted warning of the need to engineer solutions to the impact of growth on the ecosystem: "I don't think God created Florida with 17 million growing to 25 million people in mind."
January 2010
First Floridian of the Year
In 2010, Florida Trend began naming a Floridian of the Year in its January issue. The first was Eduardo Padron, president of Miami-Dade College.
March 2013
Fish Monger
Earlier this year, Florida Trend profiled artist-conservationist-entrepreneur Guy Harvey, who's out to make his fish-decorated apparel a nationally known brand.

|Sting - ...All This TIme
|Music Disc Reviews Audio CD
|Written by Jerry Del Colliano
|Tuesday, 20 November 2001
I recently saw an interview with Sting -- perhaps it was Leno in HD one night, I am not sure -- during which he was asked if he ever got tired of singing "Roxanne." With his characteristically British charm and highly refined rock star persona, he looked down and then retorted, "It is my job to get up on stage every night and perform 'Roxanne' as if it was a brand new song." It is this type of old-school enthusiasm that makes Sting an endearing performer and songwriter today. He understands how to entertain as a true modern-day professional in the mold of icons like Tony Bennett or the late Frank Sinatra.
Sting is known for his live performances, yet adding to the emotion of All This Time is the fact that it was recorded in Italy on September 11, 2001. With a passionate Italian audience and a never-before-seen event to influence him, Sting took the stage for one beautiful performance. While I have anxiously awaited each Sting solo album since the days of The Police, All This Time represents new vantage points on truly familiar songs, with fresh arrangements and a highly talented and wide-reaching band.
The opening tune "Fragile" one can assume was specifically dedicated to those who died on 9/11. Clearly, Sting's Brazilian jones shines through here with a sultry beat layered with whiny violins, a tasty chorus and a stunning piano arrangement. If this arrangement was in fact tossed together on Sept. 11, it is even more impressive. "Fragile" is the kind of tune that lends itself well to different interpretations, yet never before has this song sounded so good or meant more.
I found myself drawn to the less popular Sting tunes on All This Time. For example, "Perfect Love… Gone Wrong" takes a completely new route, with a loosely assembled groove featuring dangling call and response vocal chops with Sting and the trumpet player. Another lesser-known tune is "The Hounds of Winter," which develops nicely as a song that tells a story without interference from the band.
I give Sting major credit for reinventing his popular tunes for his live performances in the manner of the old crooners. "Don't Stand So Close To Me" is given the VH-1 adult contemporary treatment, which made it a little too bland for me. "Roxanne" is better, featuring more Brazilian guitar and tasty percussion. The mix is wide open, glistening with audio goodness. The arrangement develops as the verses go on, which helps make one tired song sound fresh again.
Sting controls the cadence of the performance with savvy leadership. On "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free," he artfully picks up the tempo and successfully lifts the mood of the performance. "Brand New Day" builds on that momentum and is a particularly appropriate song for that night. "Moon Over Bourbon Street" takes a last trip back to Jazzy Sting, yet the outro, perhaps an encore, "Every Breath You Take," sounds a little cluttered, as if it were a jam at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
All This Time is far from a pre-packaged "Best of" CD or a simple recording of a big-name artist for one of his Italian shows. Have you ever noticed that lots of live concerts are recorded in Italy? That is because we Italians can't actually shut up at a concert and are willing to sing along with any tune that catches our fancy. All This Time is an excellent recording of a wonderful performance. There is an accompanying DVD-Video disc that has even more songs, more supplemental material and a surround sound mix. Hopefully, All This Time will be released as a DVD-Audio disc in a high-resolution surround version. Both the recording and the heartfelt performance demand such treatment. Meanwhile, All This Time is a worthy purchase on CD.

KROMI Logistik AG: Wilhelm Hecking named new Chairman of the Supervisory Board
Jörg Schubert, CEO of KROMI Logistik, explicitly praised the work of outgoing Supervisory Board Chairman Dr. Thorsten Bieg during his speech and made a particular point of highlighting his extensive legal expertise: "As part of KROMI's transition to a listed company and the incredible growth in legal requirements this entailed, Dr. Bieg's expertise were of key importance and his advice provided the company with invaluable support. Both the Executive Board and Supervisory Board would therefore like to extend their particular gratitude to Dr. Bieg for his efforts."
In the future, the Supervisory Board's work is to focus more strongly on advisory support for the Executive Board with regards to the operating business. As a new member of the Supervisory Board, Wilhelm Hecking will join Prof. Dr. Eckart Kottkamp and René Dannert in realising this. Hecking, who works as a self-employed personnel consultant, draws on many years of experience in the machine and plant engineering sector. "Mr. Hecking is the ideal addition to our Supervisory Board thanks to the know-how he has gained in leading purchasing functions in the machine engineering and renewable energy industries. His industry knowledge and contacts within our customer markets will provide valuable additional know-how to the Supervisory Board," explains Jörg Schubert referring to the newly appointed Supervisory Board Chairman for the next five years.
Overall, KROMI can look back on the fiscal year 2010/2011 as a year of strong revenues combined with investments in new customers and markets. "We have consciously expanded our activities in the area of customer acquisition, which meant higher costs as planned. However, we are convinced that this was the right decision in order to generate sustainable income in the future and therefore continue the company's healthy growth track," comments Uwe Pfeiffer, CFO of KROMI Logistik, addressing the company's business development.
KROMI Logistik AG
KROMI Logistik AG offers manufacturing companies end-to-end outsourcing for their supply of precision machining tools, both in Germany and abroad. The company focuses on technically advanced machining tools for metalworking and plastics (consumable and cutting tools, e.g. drills). KROMI combines conventional tool retailing with a decentralised tool supply system that includes output machines in the customer's production area and an IT-based tool management and controlling system. KROMI's aim is to sustainably optimise the supply of resources (particularly tools) for its customers and to secure the availability of the appropriate resources at the right time and in the right place. The company is currently represented at five locations in Germany and four abroad (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Spain and Brazil), and is active in five other European countries. To date, KROMI has primarily focused on customers in the general mechanical engineering, automotive suppliers, the aerospace sector, as well as marine engine construction.

Sign I passed this morning:
New sandwiches!
19 Responses
"We got pastami, we ain't got no pastrami you little &#$%!"
I LOVE Ruebens, but won't go to a place that can't spell LOL
Hey, at least they didn't insert a random apostrophe! Those drive me crazy!
It's called proofreading, People!
Still better than Subway…
williepitts currently on the phone to mr. subb headquarters
Times are tough, the remaining B and R pieces are probably broken or missing, and there is no money to replace them because people won't go places that can't spell. It's a vicious cycle.
When williepitt reads this, he's gonna show up there and have a whole litter of kittens right on the floor.
Why do I need to have kittens at Mr. Subb when others posting here who THINK they know how to spell don't?
I refer specifically to Jen (#2), who doesn't know how to spell "Reuben" but criticizes others for same.
Sign at the Big M in Watervliet – smashed and a then a half hour on the drive through. The new building didn't help that dump at all.
Makes NOOOO difference to me how they spell it….they are both awesome at Mr. Subb and I love them…..YUM! I wish they had these all the time.
Only in Albany
I happened to go into this subway tonight around 7:45…they had JUST realized that the sign was wrong because they were fixing it when I went in…apparently the manager called them to tell them it was wrong. The two girls in there had NO clue.
Well, I'm not surprised…they have been spelling sub wrong for all these years.
It's not a missprint, Williepit. This place is owned by Paul Reudens, nee Reubens, who changed the spelling of his name to escape Pee Wee Herman notoriety.
I've tried the Reudens and wasn't impressed. The corned beez was too fatty, there wasn't enough Swiss cheele, and the Russian dreffing was way too sweet.
A good Albany education at work.
Years ago there was a place on Central Ave with a road side sign that said "TRY OUR NEW TEAK SUB". I thought they were just missing an "S", but the sign was never changed. Maybe they did a brisk business with Woodpeckers?
Oh my…what's gonna happen when they start promoting their BLT subb?

PSNI officer Clodagh Dunlop beats locked-in syndrome and marks stroke anniversary with a sky dive
The inspirational 37-year-old was left with locked-in syndrome after suffering a devastating brain stem stroke last April.
Clodagh Dunlop has done the unthinkable — by jumping out of a plane on the first anniversary of the stroke that nearly killed her.
The inspirational 37-year-old was left with locked-in syndrome after suffering a devastating brain stem stroke last April.
Clodagh, a policewoman from Magherafelt, spent months trapped inside her body unable to move or speak and was only able to communicate by blinking.
However, she has astounded everyone with her miraculous recovery and chose to do a sky dive to mark the day she almost lost her life.
She explained: "My partner Adrian and I travelled a bit before my stroke and one of the things we did was a sky dive in Namibia.
"When I was locked-in I spent so much time thinking back to that sky dive and the way it felt, the sensation of your arms flying in the wind. It was an escape from reality for me.
"Adrian and I were talking about what we would do for the anniversary of the stroke and going out for dinner just didn't seem right, so we decided we would do a sky dive instead.
"It was such an incredible experience to be able to do it again and I can't talk about it now without crying.
"If you look at photos of me and Adrian, we both just have these big grins on our faces, we were both so happy it was happening."
While being able to do the sky dive was an important milestone for Clodagh, she said simple activities she used to take for granted are equally as important.
For example, instead of elaborate celebrations for her recent birthday, she opted to spend the day with family.
"I love Adrian's poached eggs so I asked him to make me poached egg on toast for breakfast and then we had family around for a barbecue," she said.
"It sounds sad, but this time last year I was in hospital and all I could do was blink, so it was a pleasure this year to just be able to talk and eat."
Clodagh's world was shattered on Easter Monday last year when she collapsed at home and was rushed to Antrim Area Hospital.
"I've had flu and illnesses before, but nothing like this. I actually told my sister I thought I was dying while we were in the ambulance," she explained.
"The actual stroke happened a few hours later and I had this all-consuming feeling of death and I actually said goodbye to my sister and dad.
"It's so bizarre to have a near death experience.
"Beforehand I would have been very sceptical and would have thought people were delusional about the whole thing, but I really did feel like someone had come to me.
"I was not frightened, I remember thinking, 'okay, I'm dead'. I definitely had an outer body experience.
"There was someone there telling me I was fine. I was happy, I mean I didn't want to die because I love life, but I accepted it.
"But then I could hear my sister screaming, telling me to wake up and slapping my face. I believe it was her that pulled me back."
She woke later in ICU, but did not initially realise the severity of her condition.
"I actually had a real sense of satisfaction when they told me I had a stroke because I felt like I had been right all along. It was only a few hours later, lying there with tubes in my mouth, machines everywhere and the place looked like a spaceship, that I started to think it might be bad.
"They didn't tell me for the first few weeks that I had locked-in syndrome and I found out by accident when one of the nurses mentioned it to me.
"Not being able to communicate was probably one of the most frustrating and difficult things in my life.
"I could be lying there in pain and couldn't tell anyone.
"I might have looked perfectly comfortable, but really I was screaming inside my head and because I had no facial expressions, no-one could tell.
"I used to lie and cry and because I couldn't wipe my eyes, the tears would stay there and sting my eyes, which just made me cry even more.
"I remember lying there and seeing my dad so distressed and not being able to say, 'I'm okay daddy', it was just the hardest thing."
Inside, however, Clodagh was determined to get better.
The first sign of life came when she responded by blinking at Adrian and very slowly she started to regain the ability to move.
At the end of each visit by family and friends, she would try to tell them she loved them and she would spend hours reading books out loud.
Bit by bit, her speech improved and in August last year she was able to stand up.
In November she walked out of Musgrave Park Hospital and last week she managed to walk a mile for the first time since her stroke.
"I was so tired afterwards, but I just know that one day I will be able to run again," she said.
Having regained her speech, Clodagh is now determined to raise awareness of the signs of stroke — particularly among younger people.
She believes doctors failed to consider the possibility she was at risk of having a stroke due to her age.
She collapsed a number of times in the days running up to the stroke, but despite suffering a range of classic stroke symptoms, including slurred speech, she was not given any preventative treatments.
"My case is not unique," continued Clodagh.
"During my time at the brain injury unit at Musgrave Park Hospital I met so many young people who had strokes.
"I know a young man who is only 21 and he went to hospital with a severe headache and they thought it was down to illegal drugs.
"It's fine to query that in this day and age, but he insisted he hadn't taken any.
"He went home and had a very bad stroke and has been left with major disabilities.
"I think a lot of times they just discount the possibility of a stroke because of age."
According to Clodagh, one of the most difficult things to come to terms with is the fact that she will never fulfil her dream of joining a specialist PSNI unit that carries out operations such as drug raids and dealing with firearm incidents.
"Before my stroke I was extremely fit, I ran, I could do hundreds of press-ups at a time," she said.
"I hope that one day I will be able to go back to work, although it will likely be a desk job and that has been hard to accept.
"I just have to tell myself that everything happens for a reason and I know that no matter how bad things are for me, there are always other people out there who have it much worse."
A stroke is a brain attack which happens when the blood supply to the brain is cut off, caused by a clot or bleeding in the brain.
One in four strokes in the UK happen in people under the age of 65.
In 2013/14, an average of 11 people a day were admitted to a Northern Ireland hospital after suffering a stroke.
In 2014, 1,002 people died after a stroke — equating to three people a day.
May is Stroke Awareness Month and to coincide with this the Stroke Association is running its annual Make May Purple campaign.
The charity is hosting a number of fundraising events throughout the month.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello my name is Alex and I will help you with this. Please note that I am a working Solicitor and may be on and offline as I have to attend Court and meet with clients, even at weekends. As such you may not get an instant response when you reply as this is not an 'on demand' live service, but rest assured I will be giving your question my immediate attention upon return. There is no need to wait here, you will get an email when I reply.
Do the Gas people say that you should get a new boiler or the existing one is sufficient please?
The Council can't make you do anything
At worst the tenant can try and take you to Court because the Landlord and Tenant Act says you must provide hot water and heating.
The Court will appoint a joint expert to produce a report
If the report says it is inadequate then you will lose.
If the report says the boiler is fine then you will win
But the Council can't make you do anything - it would be down to a Court if the tenant brought a claim
Can I clarify anything for you about this today please?
The tenant can TRY and claim. But it really depends on what the engineer says.
If it is faulty then - maybe yes, if they have sufferd
If not faulty - then no
Does that clarify?
The boiler is not faulty but we cannot get all rads to 21 degrees and everyone if is flumoxed other than it probably lies with either house movement or inconsistent pipework.
Can anyone make me refurb the entire house to accommodate a new system or is sufficient to add additional free standing radiators? No one seems to be able to clarifythis
Many thanks
Please take a moment to leave feedback before you go today

- Statement by the RMG Company Regarding the Start of Mining Operations on the Sakdrissi-Kachagiani License Site #1
- Dmitry Troitsky: "We Will Only Carry Out Whatever We Have Official Permission For"
- "Halting the Activities of RMG is a Serious Issue for the Entire Country"
- "RMG's Openness to Conduct an Ecological Audit is Quite Welcomed"
- "RMG" Answers Allegations Posed by the National Party
Levan Berdzenishvili: "Arguments from Khudoni HPP Opposers are Weak"
How important is the Khudoni HPP project for the country's development and what benefits will it bring to Georgia? And what do parliament members think about this issue, how do they evaluate the project's importance? One of the leaders of the republican party, Levan Berdzenishvili, thinks that hydro energy is one of the most important resources of our country and should undoubtedly be utilized.
"I'm no expert, but I stand for economic development and environmental protection. From this standpoint, I can tell you that if the ecology isn't adequately protected and, as specialists say, there won't be an ecologic catastrophe – then economic advancement is necessary. Every hydro power plant in every country breaks regulations, what matters is not to overdo it and cause a disaster," said Berdzenishvili.
"As to the topics of population and graveyard relocation, this aspect should be agreed upon between the government and the citizens. I remember it well how we went through the Zhinvali HPP ordeal, burying a centennial statue. If the government and the locals reach an agreement, this will turn out relatively less painful for Svaneti. It's just nonsensical to say that not one power plant should ever be built in Georgia – water is one of our primary resources and it should be utilized. If it's still a sticky issue and there's no economic benefit and someone manages to prove this, then yes, but the arguments I've heard from the opposers of the Khudoni HPP construction so far aren't strong enough to make us say that this project should be halted. But I repeat once more that I'm but a normal parliament member, a philologist, and not a specialist. And obviously what matters more here is a specialist's opinion."

colintj of South Side Sox on Alex Rios:
But so in theory, it's possible to trade Rios to a team that thinks he's worth something above replacement for some significant period of time. The question is, who are you going to find? It's fairly common for human beings to overrate the significance of those results which are most recent and Rios' most recent results are mind-searingly bad. Even a hyper-rational human is going to be wary of a guy that makes every pitcher look like Bugs Bunny squaring off against the Gas House Gorillas.
This article is from July 26th. Since then, Rios has made at least three horrible defensive gaffes. No one is trading for this guy1. And the worst part is that Ozzie insists on continuing to play him.
- The only possible exception would be if one of the contenders lost TWO of their starting outfielders to injury [↩]

Re: "ADAM SCOTT - MASTER MILLWRIGHT 1796-1838
In reply to:
Re: "ADAM SCOTT - MASTER MILLWRIGHT 1796-1838
Larry Ruickbie 8/14/04
The names you give do not appear in the book "Adam Scott --Master Millwright 1796 -- 1838".
However, the Delaware County, NY website is great.Anyone with Scotts from the Hawick area of Scotland can likely find Scott relatives listed somewhere on this site.
In fact, insofar as the above referenced Adam Scott, he left the Hawick area in the early 1800's as a teenager, staying with relatives in probably Bovina Twsp, Delaware Co., until about May of 1819 when he left for Canada.
The Delaware Co., website indicates there was a Robert Scott in Delaware Co. who in 1802 built a sawmill/gristmill for Matthew Russell, one of the town's first settlers.This is probably who Adam stayed with, learning the millwright trade.

The normal problem with accessing a shadow password file from Apache is that that the shadow password file is not readable to everyone, so Apache can't read it.
Some smart-ass suggested making the shadow password file readable for everyone so that Apache can read it again. Don't do that! The whole point of having a shadow password file is limiting access to some well known services (root, that is), so that hackers are prevented from running a password-cracker over it. With that in mind, note that the real solution presented below somewhat weakens that protection, but its nowhere as unsafe as making the whole file readable to everyone (shudder).
A solution for making only Apache able to read the password shadow file is chgrp'ing the shadow password file to some new group (for example "shadow-readers"), then placing this line into your httpd.conf:
By following the above steps, your are delibaretely weakening your system security, albeit only a little. Be sure to understand what you do. If in doubt, don't do it.

My memory seems to be cracking up. I am always getting up from my desk and walking purposefully into another room only to find that I have forgotten the reason for it. I drive to Tesco and forget the one thing I intended to buy there. I struggle to remember the names of people I have known all my life. It's all rather worrying.
But what concerns me most is that one of these days I will forget that I have a dog. I am seldom parted from my Jack Russell, Polly, but I am terrified that the time will come when I will drive somewhere or (worse still) go away on holiday abroad, leaving her curled up on the sofa in the kitchen.
Provided I remember she exists, I am pretty good to her - I make sure she is fed and watered, gets enough walks, and is as comfortable and content as I can make her. But what if I forget? Then anything might happen.
Once I got home from an expedition in the car and went indoors, leaving it locked with Polly still inside. It was a couple of hours later that I suddenly noticed her absence, sprang out of my chair in a cold sweat and rushed to her rescue. It was a dreadful moment, pregnant with foreboding.
I imagined all kinds of terrible things that might befall her if I were to forget about her for any longer than that, but to these has now been added another that hadn't occurred to me even in my worst nightmares. This is that she could be kidnapped for ransom.
I read in the Observer earlier this year that pet-stealing had become Britain's fastest-growing crime. More than 150 dogs and cats are stolen every day, it said. The thieves, if they do not sell them on the black market, try to extort money from the owners for their return, and sometimes, creepily, they even demand sex as well.
Thank God, I need not fear that - for much as one might love one's dog, there are limits to what one would be prepared to do to be reunited with it. But what should the financial limits be? The responsible advice would probably be what governments like to give on dealing with terrorists who kidnap people - that is, don't deal with them. But following this advice often means that the victim gets killed, and I wouldn't want that to happen to Polly.
I can't imagine what I would do if she were stolen. But it is deeply depressing to learn that you can't even let a dog out alone in your garden without running the risk of it being kidnapped. The sad fact is that Britain is no longer a good country in which to keep dogs. There are few shops or other establishments into which they are still admitted. Even pubs tend to ban them nowadays. As a result, I'm always tying Polly to railings in the street where she is a sitting duck for would-be kidnappers. And to judge by the number of emotional "lost pet" notices attached to trees and lamp-posts in Hammersmith, there are a lot of these vile people around.

Spartans slip past Warriors
Beardsley's OT goal gives Burnt Hills title; Academy wins
Published 10:17 pm, Wednesday, May 21, 2014
The last time the Niskayuna and Burnt Hills girls' lacrosse teams met in a Section II Tournament game, Burnt Hills escaped with a win in sudden victory in the 2013 Class B semifinals.
Wednesday's championship would be decided the same way.
Forty-nine seconds into the third overtime, Spartans senior Nicole Beardsley spun twice and fired in her second goal of the game, lifting No. 3 Burnt Hills over top-seeded Niskayuna 9-8 on Wednesday at the University at Albany's John Fallon Field.
"I don't remember much of it. It's kind of a blur," Beardsley said. "You just have confidence in yourself and your teammates. Without them I couldn't do anything."
The Spartans (12-5) will meet the Section IX winner at 3 p.m. Wednesday in a regional semifinal at Dietz Stadium in Kingston.
"Both teams had chances," Burnt Hills coach Jake McHerron said. "This is one hard-fought battle. You have to give both teams credit."
Niskayuna (13-4-1) scored the first three goals of the game, including a pair by Alissa Franze.
"I start out rough sometimes," Burnt Hills goalie Lexie Ball said, "but I know how to pull it together."
Burnt Hills went on a 5-0 spurt to grab a two-goal advantage. Senior Mackenzie LeVan pushed her team's lead to 5-3 with 4:47 left in the first half.
Niskayuna erased a 5-4 halftime deficit, outscoring Burnt Hills 3-1 to start the second half. Brianna Sacks provided the Silver Warriors a 7-6 lead with 10:41 left in regulation.
Trailing 8-6 with 5:54 remaining, Beardsley scored and Aubrey Kamppila drew the Spartans even with 2:19 left.
Neither team could manage a goal in 15:49 of extra time until Beardsley's game winner.
"Pretty insane," Ball said. "There was no doubt in my mind it was going in."
Ball came up big in the cage for the Spartans, stopping 11 shots.
"Lexie's a gamer," McHerron said. "She's been preparing for this moment since seventh grade."
Asa Goldstock stopped 14 shots for Niskayuna and Franze totaled four goals.
"These girls are my sisters," Beardsley said. "It's going to get harder from here and we have to keep working that way."
Class C
Albany Academy for Girls continued its Section II Tournament reign, routing Emma Willard 15-3 for its seventh consecutive title and 12th overall.
"Just keeping the tradition alive is really a great feeling," Bears senior Emily Martin said.
Albany Academy for Girls will meet the Section IX champ at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Dietz Stadium.
Martin scored six goals to pace the Bears (13-4).
"I was feeling really good," Martin said. "I tried to stay really calm for the game. I just looked for opportunities I could take, and I took advantage of them."
Academy senior Emma Hardy added four goals and two assists, and junior Gabby Uccellini totaled four goals.
The Bears' defense held Emma Willard to a season-low in goals scored. Senior goalie Alex MacAffer stopped five shots.
"Our offense gets a ton of the credit, but (Wednesday) it was our defense," Academy coach Greg Giombetti said.
Xani Shultis scored twice to pace Emma Willard (10-7).
"Our girls really rise up to the challenge and to the occasion," Giombetti said. "That's why I enjoy coaching them so much."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to dry it?
You should! If you want your GIY project to retain its shape instead of continuing to grow, you need to dry it to prevent that.
What strain do you use?
Our strain is a trade secret protected by our patents. So we can't give out any information about it, or other strains.
Is it safe to have in my house?
Completely! Everything we sell is free of any toxins or harmful substances or fumes.
Will it catch on fire?
Mycelium is naturally fire resistant!
Will my finished project be waterproof?
Much like wood, mushroom materials need to be sealed to be waterproof. Unfinished mushroom materials will begin to decay when they get wet, just like unfinished timber.
Is this stuff going to stink up my house while it's growing?
No way! You might notice an earthy smell if you stick your nose up against the bag, but you shouldn't have to worry about any visitors questioning your hygiene, unless they already do, of course.
Will mushrooms grow from my project if I don't cover it well enough?
Indeed they will! Given the right conditions, your mushroom material will attempt to sprout mushrooms and reproduce, but if you follow the instructions you should stay mushroom-free.
What certifications do you have?
We are Cradle to Cradle™ Gold Certified and Living Future Declare Certified.
How fast do these mushroom materials biodegrade?
When broken down into small pieces and placed out in the elements, your mushroom materials will return to the earth in about a month.

April 15, 2014
Do you sponsor a tax-qualified retirement plan that was pre-approved by the IRS? If so, pre-approved documents take one of two forms.
- One is a prototype plan that uses a checklist-type Adoption Agreement and is paired with a basic plan document containing all of the technical plan rules.
- The other is a volume submitter plan, which reads like a book, but likewise was prepared by a document provider using software and a checklist that was pre-approved by the IRS.
If your retirement plan is maintained by an administrative or investment firm, chances are you are using a pre-approved plan. Why does this matter?
The IRS has established a two-year period during which all pre-approved plans must be amended and restated to bring them into compliance with recent tax law changes. IRS Announcement 2014-16 provides that employers who are using a pre-approved document are required to amend and restate their retirement plans between now and April 30, 2016.
You should contact your plan service providers to determine if this requirement impacts your business and, if so, to work to get your plan updated. Missing an amendment deadline puts the tax-qualified status of your plan at risk, and your business may be subject to penalties.
Also, use caution and spend the time to carefully review any proposed plan changes, ask questions, and compare your proposed plan to your prior plan document. Inadvertent document changes occasionally happen when updates are made, and they are very costly to fix. You also may find it helpful to have your updated plan documents reviewed by your attorney to minimize the likelihood of these errors.

But if I connected other GPIOs from the same GPIOdriver (other lines on the same I/O expander chip) to anotherGPIO-using driver which happens to use them from irq context, thenyour changes won't detect the problem - the code will just break atruntime.Of course if I did that, it would be my fault and my problem. I getto keep both pieces etc. But it's a scenario which your proposalwould fail to catch at compile time, that's why I bring it up.-- Jamie

Using the slogan "Blue is the new green", heroal is presenting its innovative and award-winning product portfolio, which opens up a new dimension of sustainable construction through the unique combination of ecological and economical aspects, from 14 to 19 January at BAU in Munich. Highlights being exhibited at their trade fair stand (Hall B1, Stand 310) by the aluminium systems supplier include, amongst others, the window system that won the Innovation Award for Architecture and Technology 2012.
Thanks to an innovative web geometry, heroal W 72 distinguishes itself with outstanding insulation values at optimal frame installation depth. The innovative insulating web technology – made from up to 62% renewable materials – that is used in heroal W 72 and in the heroal D 92 UD door system is a clear nod to sustainability. What's more, with the heroal rs hybrid, heroal demonstrates a ground-breaking roller shutter system that combines the advantages of an aluminium roller shutter system with those of textile sun protection and introduces its particularly flexible and economical pre-assembled roller door system: heroal RD 75. The aluminium systems specialist is further emphasising its expertise in the field of energy-efficient building shells with heroal C 50 façade systems that are suitable and certified for passive house systems and that also offer architects and planners significant creative freedom. The trade fair stand is no less pioneering than the products themselves – here a cutting-edge, non-linear multi-level communication concept with real-time 3D along with a media communication table ensure an equally impressive and informative product presentation.
Award-winning product design: the heroal W 72 window system
With heroal W 72, heroal proves that it can combine extremely good insulation values, outstanding design and sustainable production in one superb system. Thanks to the innovative web geometry the window system achieves a Uf value of 1.3 W/m²K with a frame depth of just 72 millimetres and thereby already fulfils the energy conservation requirements of the planned EnEV. The innovative insulating web technology, which is made from up to 62% renewable materials and is also used in the heroal D92 UD door system, is particularly energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly. The Innovation Award for Architecture and Technology 2012 was awarded for the heroal W 72 window system for the consistent combination of sustainability with intelligent and attractive design.
Maximum flexibility: the heroal D 92 UD door system
Designed to offer a highly flexible system, the heroal D 92 UD door provides planners and architects with a great amount of creative freedom – while at the same time impressing with excellent performance features for heat insulation, tightness against driving rain, burglary resistance and air permeability. The system is modular and is compatible with a wide range of freely selectable side parts, transom windows, door casements, infill panels and colours to suit individual design and performance requirements. Any subsequently desired adjustments and modifications can be quickly and easily implemented allowing the system to grow over generations. With the heroal D 92 UD, it has also been possible for the first time to create an aesthetically pleasing door with concealed strips with a low thermal coefficient of just Ud = 0.8 – 1.8 W/m²K.
Forward thinking: the heroal rs hybrid roller shutter system and the heroal RD 75 pre-assembled roller door
With the heroal rs hybrid roller shutter system, heroal demonstrates exactly how to combine the advantages of an aluminium roller shutter system with those of textile sun protection in one unique product. It is as durable, long-lasting and lightproof as an aluminium roller shutter – and simultaneously as cosy, quiet and compact as textile sun protection. Thanks to the roll-formed aluminium profiles on the exterior, the heroal rs hybrid has a class 4 wind load resistance and excellent sound and thermal insulating characteristics with a system width of 2.5 metres. Furthermore, the technical textiles used on the interior will give a pleasant feel to any living room and enable glare-free partial dim-out of the room. The system also opens and closes as quietly as textile sun protection and has a decidedly small winding diameter: with a blind height of 2.1 metres, it comes to only 12.5 centimetres. As a result, the system is also suitable for noise-sensitive areas, such as hotels or hospitals, and can be easily integrated into the thermal insulation system.
heroal is also breaking new ground with the heroal RD 75 pre-assembled roller door – the first completely pre-assembled, ready-made system in the product range. The system can be installed particularly quickly and economically and at the same time fulfils the highest demands on quality and technology: for example quick opening and closing times with extremely quiet roller shutter operation and high stability. With a roller door clear width of 4.8 metres, the heroal RD 75 has a class 4 wind load resistance. As far as size, design and equipment are concerned, the heroal RD 75 may be tailored to individual requirements in the industrial, commercial and private sectors. The extensive range of colours opens up great potential for creative freedom. The heroal RD 75 roller door system is optionally available with visual and ventilation profiles and can be equipped with an optoelectronic safety end slat (OSE) and an emergency hand crank handle (NHK).
Energy-efficient and attractive: heroal C 50 façade systems
With heroal C 50 façade systems, the Verl-based company presents a new and future-oriented generation of highly insulated façade systems. heroal C 50 HI fulfils the highest energy requirements. The heroal C 50 PH goes one step further: Featuring a design combining glass and sandwich panels with a thickness of 48 millimetres, the system achieves a Ucw value of 0.62 W/m2K and is thereby officially passive house certified by the ift Rosenheim. With heroal C 50 façade systems it is possible to create highly individual and attractive architectural concepts thanks to a multitude of finishing and installation variants available as alternatives – for example vertical or vertical-bending transom-mullion designs, and transom-transom or mullion-mullion façades. Further creative freedom arises thanks to various cover and pressure profiles as well as colour variation possibilities by means of hwr powder coating and anodizing of the aluminium profile. The range of applications of heroal C 50 façade systems reaches from sophisticated industry design through to innovative and energy-efficient office architecture – as large or polygonal façades, roof areas, light roof pyramids or conservatories.
Experience intuitive innovations: the heroal trade fair stand
For a simultaneously impressive and informative high-tech product presentation, heroal has developed a non-linear, multi-level communication concept with real-time 3D. At the same time, oversized product cross sections have been equipped with tangible user interfaces and they invite trade fair visitors to discover the innovations intuitively and playfully using LED-marked hotspots. Visitors receive further tailored information on a large multimedia communication table with multi-touch surface, which can be controlled by touching perspex entry screens. In addition to numerous optical and touch-based stimuli, for the first time acoustic elements, such as the sound bite specially created for the staging, have been implemented.

(Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism)
Oswald Garrison Villard 1872-1949
American journalist, biographer, and nonfiction writer.
As owner of the Nation and its editor for 14 years, Villard built the magazine into a leading liberal publication. He was an outspoken pacifist and continually emphasized the importance of individual freedoms, including freedom of speech and of the press.
Biographical Information
Villard was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, in 1872, during one of his parents' extended stays there. Both liberalism and journalism were a part of his heritage. His father, Henry Villard, was a German immigrant who purchased the New York Evening Post and its weekly supplement, the Nation, in 1881. His mother, Helen Frances Garrison, was the daughter of liberal journalist and abolition leader William Lloyd Garrison. After earning a B.A. from Harvard University in 1893, Villard began writing for the Nation. He completed an M.A., also from Harvard, in 1897, and became an editorial writer for the Post. Villard inherited both publications upon his father's death in 1900 and served as editor of the Post until 1918. That year, he sold the Post but retained the Nation and became its editor, holding that position until 1932, when he turned control over to a board of editors. He stayed on as a contributing editor until 1940, when he resigned over the magazine's increasingly militaristic views. During his time as editor of the Nation Villard found many reasons to remind readers of the importance of freedom of expression. The Espionage Act of 1917 and later the Sedition Act of 1918, prompted by the United States' entry into World War I, limited protests against the war effort. Conscientious objectors were poorly tolerated by both the government and the American public, and Villard, due to his German descent and outspoken pacifism, became suspect. One of Villard's most memorable battles began with an editorial, published in the September 14, 1918 issue of the Nation, which criticized American Federation of Labor President Samuel Gompers, whom the government had assigned to report on labor conditions in Europe. The Postmaster General, under his authority through the Espionage Act, refused to mail the issue of the Nation; Villard successfully appealed to members of the presidential cabinet, and the ban was lifted by order of the President four days later. Villard continued to espouse pacifism throughout his life, but his views became increasingly unpopular with World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor. He died on October 1, 1949.
Major Works
In addition to his articles written for the New York Evening Post and the Nation, Villard published a large number of books of nonfiction, including notable works of historical biography. These include John Brown: A Biography Fifty Years After (1910), a portrait of the anti-slavery agitator, and William Lloyd Garrison (1918), about his abolistionist grandfather. Villard also wrote several works on journalism, including Some Newspapers and Newspapermen (1923) and The Disappearing Daily (1944). The Fighting Years: Memoirs of a Liberal Editor (1939), Villard's memoir, chronicles his life as a pacifist, liberal, and journalist.
Critical Reception
Critics praised John Brown as a balanced appraisal of the subject's life and career. "We have here a book, and the only book, in which the unquestioned facts of John Brown's career are completed exhibited," William MacDonald wrote in a review in the Nation, labeling the work "a solid achievement in the field of historical scholarship." Some Newspapers and Newspapermen was praised for its comprehensive insight into the world of journalism, but some found the later Disappearing Daily to be derivative. Writing for the American Sociological Review, F. Howard Forsyth asserted, "This book is frankly a rewrite of his previous volume." Villard's autobiographical Fighting Years encouraged new discussion of liberalism and its impact on America during the twentieth century; its title, Freda Kirchwey observed in the Nation, "is an accurate summing up of his public career."

EUGENE — Oregon free safety John Boyett, who led the Ducks in tackles two of the last three years, will have surgery Wednesday on both knees, ending his season and more than likely his UO career.
EUGENE — Oregon free safety John Boyett, who led the Ducks in tackles two of the last three years, will have surgery Wednesday on both knees, ending his season and more than likely his UO career.
Boyett returned to his hometown of Napa, Calif., on Sunday, and told the Napa Valley Register newspaper he will undergo the procedure on both knees Wednesday.
"I've had a lingering injury that I played through all last year," Boyett said in a statement to the newspaper. "The hope was, through different treatments and certain types of rehab during this past offseason, they would heal up and I'd be ready to go for my senior year. But unfortunately, it didn't work out as planned."
Boyett finished his career with 278 tackles in 37 appearances. He became the first freshman in the modern era to lead the Ducks in tackles, with 90 in 2009, and led the team again with 108 in 2011, including a career-high 17 in the Rose Bowl.
After starting Oregon's season opener this fall, Boyett did not play in Saturday's win over Fresno State. Avery Patterson started in Boyett's place and finished with five tackles.
"Avery's played nine million snaps since he's been here," UO coach Chip Kelly said Sunday, before the publication of the Napa report. "Avery's played a ton of football for us and has been an integral player through last season and the other game we played this year."
Boyett's surgeries reportedly involve a six-month rehab process. That would sideline him through the end of the season, and because this is his fifth year of eligibility but the first he'll miss because of an injury, the likelihood of the NCAA granting another season for Boyett to play seems remote.
Boyett told the newspaper pain in his knees was affecting his play, and that five specialists who reviewed his medical files recommended surgery.
"It's a very difficult decision," Boyett said in his statement. "I have tremendous teammates and made many friends at the university. I've grown tremendously as a player and as a person, working under my great defensive back coach, Coach John Neal and the defensive coordinator, Nick Aliotti, who recruited me to the University of Oregon."
