Surgery for Lymphatic Malformation in Children
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Your baby's healthcare provider may refer your baby to a specialist for treatment. Your baby may need to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor (otolaryngologist) or a surgeon. Your child may also need to see a doctor who specializes in conditions with imaging procedures (interventional radiologist) .
Your child's healthcare provider may watch the malformation. He or she will look for signs of infection, bleeding, or increases in size
If your child has an infection, he or she will need antibiotics.
Your child may need surgery to cut out (excise) small and some large cysts. The cysts may be partly or fully removed.
Your child may get shots (injections) into the cysts. These can destroy them.
Laser therapy or radiofrequency ablation
These tests destroy cysts with a laser or radio waves. These are used on small cysts or cysts in the mouth.

It is inarguably the biggest single sporting event in the world, and for pro football owners it is their most lucrative payday. Is the New York/New Jersey venue turning out to be what the NFL - which takes in about $9 billion a year, tax free - thought it would be? Tickets to the game are still available, meaning there remain seats unsold and already sold tickets that, for scalpers, will not bring in much extra moolah. Hotels are readily available, with prices plummeting, as those who thought they'd strike gold are instead panicking they may not break even.
A boulevard of broken dreams? Probably not. But this event is proving not as wildly successful as so many folks thought, when the NFL claimed that the economic impact of this event could reach $500 million. For the record, some good investigative reporting in the past two weeks has shown that those claims are and have always been overblown. $30 million to $120 million economic impact has been more the norm, and most of the proceeds go not to local entities, but to the corporations that own the hotels, which typically raise their rates for the game.
Tonight at 11, we'll take a closer look at security surrounding the upcoming game, and at the Super Bowl Boulevard, which opened today in Times Square.
We'll also have any breaking news of the night, plus Meteorologist Lee Goldberg's AccuWeather forecast, and Rob Powers with the night's sports. I hope you can join Sade Baderinwa, tonight at 11.

I just installed the Songbird application. I had an external USB HDD connected to the system. It showed up in the songbird application and I started syncronization of music against that device. Where I had some music files (mp3:s) I suspect that songbird mistook the HDD for valid MP3 player or something like that. Because now my files are gone.
Can any one please help me get the files back? They're not in the synchronization folder I have changed settings for folder ro show all files. They're not to be found on my external HDD anymore. Where are they? Can they be salvaged?
THX for any insights

Reviews for this host's other properties
+ : Flat with perfect location in Budapest. Ktichen and bathroom very nice. Host quite helpful.
- : Radiators without thermostat so we had to leave the windows open night and day ! Beds not really comfortable. TV not connected at all and WiFi rarely working. Ugly and dirty door mat just in the entrance not welcoming!
Great place to stay!Very good location
Gazpacho apartment is run by a friendly staff and located at a walking distance (2 mins) from Opera house and Jewish district cafes and ruin pubs. Very good value for money.
apartment we rented through your site was just like the pictures we've
seen. I'm much satisfied and intend to
the next time when I planned the trip book through your site a flat.
The charming story. All clean, tidy and in good condition. Only the sheets appeared clean but with a spray smell a little weird. The location is excellent and the deal with the friendly and attentive host.
El piso encantador. Todo limpio, ordenado y en buen estado. Únicamente las sábanas parecían limpias pero con un olor a spray un poco raro.
La situación es excelente y el trato con el anfitrión amable y atento.
amazing trip! house located in downtown Budapest, beautiful and comfortable. I recommend it.
Really enjoyed.was first time for reservating through wimdu so little bit worried. But it was SSSO nice. It is located very close to everywhere you want to go in Bud. I went everywhere by foot. If u choose this apartment, you will enjoy Buda perfectly, and the room is really cozy and lovely as you can see in pics.
We stayed four days/3 nights in this very central apartment and really loved it. We could basically walk everywhere, but also the metro is only at 5 min. walking distance. The place is equipped with everything you need. We especially liked the mosaique-style kitchen and bathroom as well as the balcony. Everything was neat and clean, and our host Bianka was very friendly; she even let us stay a couple of hours longer as our return flight was late in the afternoon. We can definitely recommend that apartment and would rent it a second time.
On a good apartment, although the pictures look better than reality! Interior could use some maintenance. Access to the apartment is very old and dark, not very pleasant for evening walk through.
Op zich een goed appartement, hoewel de foto's er beter uitzien dan de werkelijkheid! Interieur kan wel wat onderhoud gebruiken.
De toegang naar het appartement is erg oud en donker, niet echt prettig om 's avonds doorheen te lopen.
Perfect - clean, quiet and all what you need, nice rooms. Very good communication with the hirer. Fain again.
Very short ways to the city!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Incoming Bullitt County kindergartners partied like it was 2029 at Paroquet Springs Conference Centre.
That's the target graduation year for the kids who attended this year's Kindergarten Kickoff, presented by the Bullitt County Public Schools Family Resource Centers.
Co-organizer Sherri Bishop, FRC coordinator for Brooks and Freedom Elementary, said this year's turnout was the largest in the event's history.
Summer has been a break from school for the children of the county but that is coming to an end in just a few short days.
As school starts back up we all need to think about what that will mean to our daily tasks. Important things to think about are: traffic, school issues, and safety of our children.
SHEPHERDSVILLE—While sewing and baking might have been engrained at an early age for some, the younger generation relies on programs like the Super Star Chef and Sewing Camps, held by the Cedar Grove, Lebanon Junction, Mount Washington and Roby Elementary Family Resource Centers, to learn.
"They don't know this stuff," Lebanon Junction teacher Rita Taulbee said. "If it isn't attached to a monitor or an iPad, they don't know it."
It doesn't seem all that long ago that tassels were flying, mortarboards were being tossed, and principals were congratulating Bullitt County's newest crop of high school graduates,
Already, it's time to do it all again as the Bullitt County Public School system prepares for the start of the 2016-17 school year.
The Bullitt County Public Schools Class of 2029 is fresh off their exciting visit to the Kindergarten Kickoff, while all the other elementary students are counting down the days until school begins again on Aug. 10.
The students will see new smiling teacher faces among the familiar friendly faculty members eagerly awaiting their return, including three new principals.
Two of the schools are still completing major renovations, with the long-term results greatly outweighing the short-term bumps.
Bullitt County Public Schools will celebrate opening day on Aug. 10, but there's some preparation work to do prior to opening day.
The Pioneer News has compiled a list of important dates for students and families, including orientations and open houses.
Also, a copy of the BCPS 2016-17 official school year calender can be found here.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Bullitt County Public Schools has started a 1:1 Chromebook initiative called "Access 24".
This initiative is in an effort to embrace 21st Century Learning. Students will be using Chromebooks in the classroom as a part of routine instruction each day.
Some Bullitt County students took an artistic approach to summer vacation.
A three-day Art Camp was hosted at Shepherdsville Elementary, hosted by the Shepherdsville/Nichols Family Resource Centers and Bernheim/Bullitt Lick Youth Services Centers.
Students participated in hands-on art activities involving "Zentangle" patterns that feature geometric shapes, creating freestyle images and decorating piggy banks with various patterns.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The first day of the 2016-17 school year is Aug. 10, and for some Bullitt Countians it's the first ever day of school.
New kindergarten students and their families are encouraged to start on a good note by attending the annual Kindergarten Kickoff, presented by the Bullitt County Public Schools Family Resource Centers.
The annual celebration is scheduled for Tuesday, July 26, 4-7 p.m., at Paroquet Springs Conference Centre.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt Lick Middle School hopes students enjoy reading enough to continue doing it throughout the summer.
The school hosted a special summer reading party to celebrate and to promote reading as a fun activity as well as a learning opportunity.
BLMS families received free cookout meals while participating in conversations about books students have read over the summer.

Bringing the heritage of Schenectady County, New York to the world since 1996

[This information is from Vol. III, pp. 1184-1187 of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911). It is in the Reference collection of the Schenectady County Public Library at R 929.1 R45. Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.]
"The name Nichols (an abbrviation of Nicholas) is of purely patrician origin having been invented by the Alexandro-Egyptian dynasty as a cognomen for princes." (Patronymica Britannica.) By degrees the brevet acquired the permanence of a surname, eventuating in the historic Nicholas family of Europe, which has given the church two popes, besides long lines of nobility. In the reign of Edward the Confessor, Count Nicholas De Albini and the other Count Nicholas of Normandy removed to England, purchasing estates at Lincoln. For a while the Counts Nicholas called the venerable city of Lincoln the city of their adoption, "Nicole," stating that the latter way was the easier of pronunciation, but this Gaelic vestige of papal supremacy did not suit, and Lincoln remained obstinately Lincoln. The name Nicolls in the earlier times was variously spelled both on tombstones and in public records, Nicols, Nicholls, Nichols, Nicolis, Nickols, all referring to persons descending from the same source, and although "Richard Nicolls" is the official signature of the early governor of New York as found appended to public documents signed by him, it is to be noted that historians have not always observed that spelling in speaking of him. The spelling now alternates between "Nichols" and "Nicholls." In this country the former is probably more frequently met with, while the latter prevails in England. Since the reign of Queen Elizabeth, forty coats-of-arms have been granted the descendants of Count Nicholas De Albini, including those of various peers of the realm. Of these Sir H. Nicholas wrote the "Historic Peerage of England." The family has been marked through all the generations down to the present by a strong liking for genealogical research, the late John Gough Nichols, editor of the Herald and Genealogist, along with his father and grandfather, having devoted his life to antiquarian studies, the memorial of the united labors being a Nichols genealogy, full and complete, deposited in the College of Arms in London, (see Comm. Biographical Rec., Fairfield Co., Conn.).
The ancestry in England of "Sergeant" Francis Nicolls is found in the work, "Sergeant Nicolls of Stratford, Connecticut, 1639, and the Descendants of his son Caleb Nicholls" by Walter Nicholls. There it is said that he was a son of Francis and Margaret (Bruce) Nicholls, and a brother of Colonel Richard Nicolls, the first English governor of the Province of New York. Margaret Bruce, his mother, was a descendant of Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland. That he was a military man in England is shown by the inscription on the monument of Colonel Richard Nicholls at Amphill, Bedford county, England, which was the family seat. He is there mentioned as a "Captain of foot," though in Stratford he was known as "Sergeant" Nicholls. He sprang from a family of fighters, lawyers and military men, and was one of the leading military men of the early colony; having been appointed by an order of the general court, October 10, 1639, to "train the men and exercise them in military discipline." His brother, Colonel Richard Nicolls, who was at the head of the British forces in the New Netherlands, in his will, made a bequest to "Sergeant Francis Nicolls of Stratford, Connecticut." Coat-of-Arms of Sergeant Francis Nicolls: Arms: Azure a fesse between three lions' heads. Crest, a tiger legent ermine. Motto, Ille nunquam cedunt.
(I) Francis Nicolls came from England in 1635 or 1636, and settled in Stratford, Connecticut, in 1639. He is believed to have remained for a time at or near Boston, as his son James is known to have held real estate in Watertown, Massachusetts. He was one of the original proprietors and settlers of Stratford, Connecticut, and his lands and proprietory rights there were distributed to his children before his death. An inventory of his personal property appears of record in the town hall in Stratford. It is supposed that he was possessed of real estate situated in Southold. Long Island. Of his first wife there is no account. He married (second) in 1645, Anne, daughter of "Deacon" Barnabas Wines, of Southold, Long Island, by whom he had one child, a daughter. She survived him and married (second) John Elton, a wealthy planter of Southold; (third) Captain John Tooker, of Seatauket, Long Island, and (fourth) Colonel John Youngs, son of Rev. John Youngs, the first minister at Southhold. The children of "Sergeant" Francis Nicolls (Nicholls) by his first wife came with him to America. They were probably all of legal age at that time.
(II) Isaac, son of Francis Nicolls (Nicholls), married February 25, 1646, Margaret Washbourne (?), and died in Stratford in 1695. In his will, dated September 28, 1694, proved August 13, 1695, he gives his homestead and 'lands to his son Benjamin, subject to a life estate therein of his widow, stating that he had given to all his other children as he was able at their marriage or afterwards. He was several times a deputy to general court from Stratford. "Savage Genealogical Dictionary" [James Savage, A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England] says: "His trade was that of a soap boiler." In his will he mentions his wife Margaret; his four sons, Josiah, Isaac, Jonathan and Ephraim, were dead, but he gave a small portion to each of the children of the last three, his sons having previously received their portion. Cothren [perhaps William Cothren, History of ancient Woodbury, Connecticut, from the first Indian deed in 1659] supposes the wife of Isaac to have been a sister of William Washbourne, of Stratford, and afterwards of Oyster Bay, Long Island, from the fact that a son of William Washbourne calls Isaac Nichols his "uncle," but he admits it is not a definite conclusion. Her name was Margaret or Margery. The children of Isaac and Margaret Nichols were
(III) "Ensign" Ephraim, son of Isaac and Margaret Nichols, was born December 16, 1657. He married, October 17, 1682, Esther, widow of Ebenezer Hawley, of Stratford. She was previously the widow of William Ward. Ephraim was the ancestor of the Fairfield branch of the Nichols family. He died early in 1690. The first probate proceedings affecting his estate are dated May 9, and his will was proved November 8, of that year. His widow and Joseph Lockwood were appointed administrators of his estate, June 9, 1691. His widow subsequently married Eliphalet Hill, of Fairfield. It is also stated that she married the fifth time, a certain Mr. Lord; but Schenk's "History of Fairfield," [Elizabeth Schenck, History of Fairfield] says it was her daughter by Dr. Ward that married Eliphalet Hill, and afterward Mr. Lord, so that her mother, Esther, was married but three times. Esther died in 1692. The children of Ephraim were:
(IV) Ignatius, son of Ephraim and Esther Nichols, was born December 17, 1683, died early in 1758, and was buried in the old Greenfield Hill cemetery, where his tombstone and that of his wife are still standing. His name has there the prefix "Mr.," which in those days indicated a person of some importance. The name is spelled "Nickols," and his age is stated to be seventy-three years at death; that of his wife, fifty-seven years. The inventory of his estate was filed in the probate office of Fairfield, March 22, 1758, and by it was shown that he had left to his son Ephraim £239, 8s. 4d. and but half that sum to each of his other children, except Nathan who is not mentioned. He married Abigail Staples, of Fairfield, Connecticut. She was born in 1689, died December 12, 1745. Children:
(V) Ephraim (2), son of Ignatius and Abigail (Staples) Nichols, of Fairfield, Connecticut, was baptized January 30, 1727-28. He married, April 5, 1740-41, Rebecca, daughter of Onesimus and Eunice (Hubbell) Gould. Onesimus Gould lived in the town of Fairfield, east of the so-called Burr's highway (out in the fields), a short distance south of what is known as Congress street, leading to Greenfield hill. He was the son of Major Nathan Gould, but whether by the latter's first wife, Hannah, is uncertain. Major Nathan Gould's first wife was a sister of Governor Joseph Talcott, of Connecticut, and if she was the mother of Major Nathan, his descent may be traced through the Talcott genealogy back in England to 1520. Major Nathan was the son of Deputy Governor Nathaniel Gould, also of Fairfield. Both father and son were very prominent in Fairfield and Connecticut politics. Eunice Hubbell was the daughter of Samuel Hubbell, Junior, of Fairfield, and his wife Elizabeth. Samuel Hubbell was born about 1670, and was the son, by the second wife, of Richard Hubbell, who was born in Great Britain (probably Wales) in 1628, and died at Pequannock, October 23, 1699. Ephraim Nichols, being the eldest son, received from his father's estate a double portion, as shown by the distribution thereof. His wife, Rebecca, was born in 1724, died April 30, 1810. He died in 1782, and the inventory of his estate was filed March 3 of that year. Children:
(VI) Peter, son of Ephraim (2) and Rebecca (Gould) Nichols, was born September 28, 1750. He married, June 15, 1773, Hannah, daughter of Increase Burr. He was a blacksmith by trade and, as shown by his account books, now in the possession of E. B. Nichols, Esq., carried on an extensive business with the residents of the vicinity. His home was in the lower part of Weston (now Easton), Connecticut, where his grandson Charles now lives. He died April 28, 1806, and the inventory of his estate was filed August 17 of that year. His widow, Hannah, died October 27, 1845, aged ninety-one years, nine months and twenty-eight days, according to her tombstone, though the "Burr Family Record" says she was born December 25, 1794. Children:
(VII) Peter (2), son of Peter (1) and Hannah (Burr) Nichols, was born April 1, 1776. He married (first) Urana Bradley, born in 1779, died October 9, 1813. He married (second) April 25, 1816, Catherine, born March 20, 1780, died May 17, 1868, daughter of Azariah and Eunice (Risden) Jennings. Peter Nichols was, like his father, a blacksmith by trade, and was born and lived until his death upon his father's premises in Weston (now Easton), Connecticut. In his later years he was much afflicted with sores on his feet which confined him to his house. He held a commission from the governor of the state as lieutenant of militia. He died September 26, 1854, and was buried in the old Gilberttown burial ground in Easton. His children were by his first wife, Urana (Bradley) Nichols:
Children by second wife, Catherine (Jennings) Nichols:
(VIII) Charles, son of Peter (2) and Catherine (Jennings) Nichols, was born May 3, 1827. He married, September 3, 1851, Polly Lavina, born July 16, 1828, daughter of Elijah and Huldah (Barlow) Jennings. Elijah Jennings, her father, was born in 1795, died April 15, 1831. Her mother, Huldah, was born February, 1795, died December 10, 1881. Charles Nichols, having early bought out the interests of his co-heirs, remained alone, of all his father's children, upon the homestead established by his grandfather, upon lands inherited from his Gould ancestors. Before his marriage he went to sea and was on the Rio Grande river, returning from Matamoras, at the outbreak of the Mexican war, barely escaping capture. After his marriage he took up carpentry, which he followed for many years, but for a few years was in the market business in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and in his later years has been engaged in the carriage and wagon repair business. His wife, Polly L., died April 12, 1859. He married (second) June 26, 1862, Frances Louise, born August 16, 1836, daughter of Walter and Eunice (Bradley) Burr. She died April 5, 1897. Children by first wife were:
Children by second wife:
(IX) Edgar Barlow, eldest son of Charles and Polly Lavina (Jennings) Nichols, was born February 25, 1855, at Easton, Connecticut. He was but four years of age when his mother died. He early attended the public schools, and at the age of eleven began assisting his father, who intended him to learn the carpenter's trade; attending school but three months in the year; but after a trial the father became satisfied that his boy would make an indifferent carpenter. The lad determined he would have an education and become a professional, teaching being his principal ambition at that time. He entered Staples Academy at Easton, where he was graduated in 1874, and afterwards taught one season. He then entered Yale, and literally "worked his way" through that university, being graduated with his class in 1879. In his junior year he was the recipient of the first Winthrop prize, of $200, awarded for proficiency in Greek and Latin classics. The opportunities he enjoyed were entirely of his own making and secured by systematic self-denial and persistent, unflagging determination. He decided upon the profession of law, and after leaving Yale entered the law office of Hon. Henry A. Strong, of Cohoes, finishing his legal studies and being admitted to the Albany county bar in 1882. In the fall of 1882 he was elected principal of Leavenworth Institute, Wayne county, New York, where he remained two years, resigning to engage in the practice of his profession. This was his last pedagogical experience as ever since he has followed the practice of law, principally in the city of Cohoes. In 1892 he was appointed city recorder and served four years. In 1903 he was appointed judge of the city court, a position he has since filled. He retains his private practice, which consists of the general practice of law in its varied forms and applications, and is also connected with local business enterprises. Judge Nichols is a Republican in politics, and has served as member of the city board of education. He is a member of the Baptist church. His college fraternity is Sigma Upsilon (Yale). He is a successful man, both in his profession and in business, broad-minded and progressive, a strong friend of higher education, and has in a marked degree the family penchant for genealogical research and preservation of family records. It is to his careful investigation and painstaking research that the foregoing record is due. He married, at Cohoes, New York, July 18, 1883, Clara Belle Clark, born in Biddeford, Maine, February 9, 1861, daughter of Benjamin F. S. and Hannah E. (Smith) Clark. They have one child, see forward.
(X) Florence Elizabeth, only child of Judge Edgar Barlow and Clara Belle (Clark) Nichols, was born in Cohoes, New York, February 14, 1895. She is a student of Egberts high school, Cohoes, class of 1912.

GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain is having a tough week already, and it's only Monday. His recent appearance in front of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal ed board is already becoming a viral video — what with a horrific deer-in-the-headlights moment when he's asked if he agreed with President Obama's handling of Libya. He appears flummoxed, confused, and just plain stumped.
What's Cain doing there? MSNBC said he's starring in two fundraisers in Wisconsin today, including a tailgate outside of Lambeau Field before the Green Bay Packers v. Minnesota Vikings game scheduled for Monday Night Football.
Check out the newspaper website on the visit here.
Here's how it went down:
Cain is asked a fairly straightforward question by a newspaper representative: Does he agree with President Obama's handling of Libya?
Cain: "OK, Libya."
"President Obama supported the uprising, correct?" he says. "President Obama called for the removal of Qaddafi…Ijust want to make sure we're talking about the same thing before I say yes I agree, or no I didn't agree. I do not agree with the way he handled it for the following reason."
He stops and says, "Nope, that's a different one."
Then, there's a long, long pause.
"I got to go back and see….um, I got all this stuff twirling around in my head," he said. "Specifically, what are you asking me. Did I agree or not disagree with Obama?"
The staffer again repeats the question.
Cain: "I would have done a better job of determining who the opposition is. And I'm sure that our intelligence people had some of that information. Based upon who made up that opposition, OK, based upon who made up that opposition, might have caused me to make some different decisions about how we participated."
"Secondly, no I did not agree with Qaddafi killing his citizens. Absolutely not. So something would have had to been – I would have supported many of the things that they did in order to help stop that.
"It's not a simple yes (or) no because there are different pieces and I would have gone about assessing the situation differently, which might have caused us to end up at the same place, but where I think more could have been done is what's the nature of the opposition."
Well, Cain warned he wasn't going to be able to answer questions on Uz-beki-beki-bekistan.

July-25-2012- Detectives say the victim and defendant were best friends
Mayor Byron W. Brown and Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda announced today an arrest in connection with the fatal shooting early Sunday morning of a 23 year old Buffalo man.
Buffalo police homicide detectives have arrested 22 year old John Carney of Buffalo and charged him with Murder in the 2nd degree and Assault in the 1st degree in the double shooting that claimed the life of his best friend Jeremy Lott and also injured 26 year old Lareecea Love of Buffalo.

Commissioner Derenda said, "Shortly after the incident police were able to track down the gun and with the help of tips and other information, detectives later were able to make an arrest".
Love has been treated and released from ECMC.
Homicide detectives Mary Gugliuzza, Michael Mordino and Richard Wagstaff handled the investigation.

I think it's impossible to not smile when you see this cute little twistband box in your mailbox!
The Box: Twistband Club
The Cost: $10 a month
The Products: A mix of at least 6 hair ties and head bands.
Tie Dye Hair Tie Set – Value $8
I think these are my favorite in the box – I love the tie-dye look!
Twistband Cares Hair Tie Set – Value $5
Lucy Hair Tie Set – Value $5
Verdict: This is a fun subscription box! I always seem to be losing hair ties and lip balm, so this is a great monthly replenishment for me. Also, the value is nearly double the cost of the box!

Schroeder Issues Warning on Borrowing
City regularly borrows more than it is prepared to spend, says comptroller in annual debt report
The City of Buffalo regularly borrows more money than it is prepared to spend, resulting in unnecessary interest costs, warns Buffalo Comptroller Mark J.F. Schroeder in an annual report required by the city charter.
"More than $56 million in unspent funds, some of which were borrowed more than a decade ago, have increased the City's debt burden while providing no benefit to taxpayers and citizens," said Schroeder.
Schroeder recommended that all unspent funds should either be expended for their respective projects, or rescinded to reduce the city's property tax levy. He added that Buffalo should only sell bonds for projects for which funds can be spent immediately and quickly.
"If a project is not ready to begin, then the debt for that project should not be sold until it is," said Schroeder.
The purpose of the document, known as the Comptroller's Estimate & Report, is to guide the city's planning of capital projects in the future, in addition to providing an update on the status of capital accounts from previous years.
"Capital improvement projects are one of the most important and fundamental functions of municipal government," said Schroeder. "While there are an unlimited number of worthwhile potential projects, financial and time constraints dictate that the City identify projects that are a priority to its citizenry, in addition to being feasible economically, and able to be completed in a reasonable amount of time."
Pursuant to the City Charter, the reports contains "the maximum amount of capital debt that the city may prudently incur" during the next five years, which Schroeder determined to be $95 million, an average of roughly $19 million per year.
"Since borrowing funds to complete capital projects results in interest costs, it is imperative that the City keep borrowing at a minimum," said Schroeder. "The maximum amount of capital debt is similar to a credit limit on a credit card – while it is possible to spend to the limit, it usually is not financially prudent to do so regularly."
Schroeder reduced the previous debt limit, roughly $22 million per year, by 15% to account for the city's tendency to borrow more than it can spend.

Tobacco control 'hotspots' in 2014
- Details
- February 12, 2014
Below are some of the 'hot spots' in global tobacco control that FCA will be watching in 2014.
Six of them concern challenges from the tobacco industry to governments' attempts to protect public health by implementing tobacco control measures. These occur at the national level (in courts) as well as in the international arena.
Plain packaging for tobacco products and the size of proposed graphic warnings on packages are two specific issues under scrutiny.
Let us know if we should add any others.
The government faces a challenge from Philip Morris Asia to its plain packaging of tobacco products. The company claims the law violates an investment agreement between Hong Kong (its base) and Australia. Another challenge has been launched at the World Trade Organization. Read our article.
A challenge from the National Confederation of Industries has delayed the coming into force of a ban on tobacco additives. It was supposed to apply from September, 2013. Read our article.
The vote on the revised Tobacco Products Directive is scheduled for 26 Feb. Read our article.
Philip Morris International is challenging a ban on its Be Marlboro campaign. Authorities outlawed it for illegally encouraging young people, ages 14-21, to smoke.
Ireland, Republic of
Tthe government has started a process to introduce plain packaging. Read our article.
Along with Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe: tobacco-producing countries that will be quick to react to the report of the FCTC Article 17&18 working group on sustainable alternatives to tobacco production.
The FCTC Conference of the Parties will be held here, 13-18 October, 2014. Information from WHO.
New Zealand
Plain packaging legislation has been introduced in Parliament. Read our article.
Negotiations on the TransPacific Partnership free trade deal are set to continue on 22 Feb. Tobacco control advocates – and many of our partners in the broader health area – insist that the deal must exclude tobacco. Read our article.
Sri Lanka
The tobacco industry is challenging proposed new graphic health warnings in court. Read our article.
A proposal for the world's largest pack warnings is also being challenged in court by the industry. Read our article.
The government is considering introducing plain packaging. Read our article.
UN Headquarters
Advocates are pushing for this year's review of 2011's NCD Summit to be a major event. The Summit assembled world leaders, and highlighted the growing epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Tobacco use is the one risk factor common to four major NCDs: cancers, cardiovascular and lung disease, and diabetes. Read our article.
The government continues to fight a trade dispute with Philip Morris International at the World Bank. Read our article.

Just to clear up any confusion about what this show is exactly, it is more a talk than a performance. Miranda Kane, also known as Melody, spent seven years as an escort, and is using this piece as a medium to bravely and honestly tell her stories and truths, highlighting several misconceptions about the business. This is not, however, a depressing or harrowing experience. Kane informs and educates us about the industry, focusing on the positive side; how she, and others like her, have benefitted from the profession, both lucratively and psychologically.
The evening is, without doubt, very interesting and entertaining, but it is at its most captivating when Kane is being herself - that is, being Miranda Kane and not 'Melody'. Occasionally, she tries a little too hard to be funny, or to highlight double-entendres. What she is maybe unaware of is just how charming and likeable she is naturally. She doesn't need to layer her own personality, nor genuinely intriguing stories, with a 'performance'.
Understandably, as with many first nights, she takes a little time to ease into her presentation, but when she relaxes, she becomes a rather beguiling host. It is clear from the start that Kane is a humble and caring lady with an innate ability to captivate her audience, so with just a touch more stage confidence, and perhaps some direction, I believe it is fair to say that she has the potential to really enthrall them.
Indeed, this is a fascinating evening, but as previously stated, it feels more like a lecture than a show. So if this piece works well as more or less of a lesson, does it even need to try to become more of a performance piece? Does it have the potential to work as an actual show? I would say yes. Kane's evening leans slightly towards standup comedy, and I feel that with a director on board, she could be guided to give a slick and alluring, yet educating rendition of a stand-up comedy show. At the moment, The Coin-Operated Girl doesn't quite seem to know exactly what it is, and to be fair, this is an experiment. There is plenty of room for the show, and for Kane, to develop during its first trial run.
So, there's real potential for this to become a powerful piece of theatre with a few tweeks here and there, but it's been a good start. What I cannot stress enough, though, is just how much bravery must be required to even venture on such a project. As Kane is so affable and has such a warm, gentle voice, it doesn't seem like hard work for her to talk about these taboo subjects, but we must remember that the tales she is telling are not your everyday life stories, and she should be given credit for being so open.
Finally, perhaps one of the most pleasing aspects of the night is that Kane has a genuine reason behind her show. She's not just putting on a piece of theatre to pay the rent (especially as that is so rarely the objective in theatre!), or even to promote herself. Kane is doing this to enlighten people about life as a sex worker, whether that be explaining the vast monthly outgoings you need to invest in to make your business a success, or about what your 'thousands of pounds a night' rate might actually boil down to in the end. Miranda Kane seems a lovely lady who was apparently in the profession for the right reasons, and will, hopefully, open your eyes with her revelations.

Taffeta is a stiff fabric that is often used for formal attire, especially cocktail dresses, prom gowns, and wedding dresses. Taffeta adds something special to a dress and kicks it up a notch, making it wearable for black-tie events and formal occasions. Taffeta comes in many colours and weights, and some taffeta is lighter and silkier than others, whereas the taffeta of a wedding dress has more substance to it.
The quality about taffeta that many women enjoy is the fact that the material has more depth than other materials such as satin and silk, and the way that taffeta is made enables it to stand out a bit more, creating a wider silhouette which works well for full-skirted dresses. Taffeta dresses on eBay encompass a wide variety, from full-length ball gowns and wedding dresses to short, colourful cocktail dresses and everything in between. Buyers should select taffeta dresses based on the types of event the dresses are going to be worn for, their specific body shapes, and personal preference for design, shape, and colour of the dresses.
Styles of Taffeta Dresses
There is a wide range of taffeta dresses available for all types of occasions. Whether consumers are looking for flirty and fun mini dresses or long, sweeping, full-length gowns, there are many colours and designs to choose from. Taffeta is durable, holds its shape well, and is flattering on generally all figures, as long as the cut of the dress fits properly and enhances the wearer's body type.
While strapless dresses are the most popular type of taffeta dresses, there are also other styles and necklines of taffeta dresses available. Some of these include sweetheart neckline dresses, spaghetti strap dresses, and off the shoulder dresses. Dresses generally fall into one of several styles: dresses that fit tighter to the body, ball gowns which flare out, A-line dresses that fall naturally to the ankles, and mermaid dresses which are tight along the hips and flare out around the mid-thigh or calf area.
Full-Length/Formal Taffeta Dresses
Full-length taffeta dresses bring to mind wedding and bridesmaid dresses, black-tie events, and a more conservative style. Full-length taffeta dresses are strapless, have a V-neck design, a halter-neck, or sleeves. One-shoulder dresses are also popular.
Full-length taffeta dresses may drape around the body or have petticoats underneath to make the dresses stand out. A full-length dress may be strapless on top to provide contrast to the coverage it provides on the bottom. There are dresses of many types and embellishments that add decor, such as rhinestones, sequins, and ruffles.
Wedding Dresses
Many wedding dresses are made with taffeta. In fact, it is the most common material used to create wedding dresses. The structure of taffeta lends support and shape to wedding dresses of many different styles. Some popular types of taffeta wedding dresses include ball gown style dresses, mermaid or trumpet style wedding dresses, and classic A-line style dresses.
Taffeta wedding dresses are generally white or off-white, and may or may not be embellished with additional taffeta ruffles, rhinestones, lace, and tulle. A simple taffeta wedding dress may be a sheath style dress that falls to the floor in a straight, no-frills style. Taffeta is used in many ways to create all types of wedding gowns.
Embellished Taffeta Dresses
Though there are many types of taffeta dresses that are sleek and simple in design, there are also embellished taffeta dresses that add something unique to the dress. Some popular embellishments seen on taffeta dresses that make them stand out include feathers, ruffles, belts or sashes, brooches, rosettes, and bows. Ruching and gathering are added to some dresses, and other dresses include puffy petticoats to make the dress stand out even more.
Some taffeta dresses are one colour on the top and another colour on the bottom. Additional items that are used to accessorise taffeta dresses include matching jackets, hats, and gloves. Sequined or rhinestone bodices along with sparkling trim are also used to accentuate taffeta dresses.
Casual/Knee or Mini-Length Taffeta Dresses
Shorter dresses that are made of taffeta are typically seen more during the daytime, or for events like parties and school dances, such as proms. They are not as formal as floor-length dresses, and come in several lengths, including mini and knee-length, or above the knee.
Most dresses that are meant for semi-formal events or less formal occasions, such as proms or parties, are shorter in length. Younger women and juniors typically wear shorter semi-formal dresses made of taffeta. Body-conscious dresses are also popular with younger women, and may provide a sleeker silhouette than dresses that are A-line or trumpet styled.
Party and Prom Dresses
Prom dresses made of taffeta are often made with glitz and sparkle in mind, and are created in bright colours. There are many styles, such as tight fitting dresses, flared-out style dresses, or more conservative A-line style dresses. Some popular brands are Maggie Tang and Donna Bella.
Royal colours and gemstone shades such as blue, purple, and green are commonly seen in short dresses, but there are also black dresses available as well. As with longer dresses, there are various styles and designs including strapless dresses, dresses with spaghetti straps, and dresses that are embellished with stones, bows, and other decorations.
Day Dresses
While taffeta makes many people think about formal events and evenings out, there are also day dresses made of taffeta for more casual wear. A lightweight taffeta sundress may not be as formal as a full-length taffeta gown, and offers more flexibility for wear during the daytime for more casual events. These more casual taffeta dresses may have sleeves, or may be a different style such as wrap-style taffeta dresses.
Day dresses made of taffeta are generally tea length or shorter. These dresses are tighter, body-conscious dresses, or they offer a more forgiving silhouette such as an A-line design. Some day dresses vary from more formal evening wear by having unique embellishments such as embroidery or a peplum. Others are more casual designs that make them wearable for daytime, as well as something more fun like a graphic print, pattern such as plaid, or vintage style dresses that were worn in the 50s or 60s.
How to Buy Taffeta Dresses on eBay
Get great deals on taffeta dresses when you shop for formal gowns or short party dresses on eBay. Navigate to dresses and select taffeta, then browse the various dresses by selecting a style, such as sleeveless, or a length, such as knee-length. You are also able to shop by colour or size of the dress you are looking for. Purchase taffeta dresses from authorised merchants who are Top-rated sellers, and search for local sellers to alleviate the cost of shipping and meet the seller in person. This allows for a more personal shopping experience.
Talk to the seller about other items that he or she may be selling, and you might be able to get a great deal on a bundle of items, such as jewellery or gloves that match the dress. A pre-owned dress is also a way for buyers who are on a tight budget to save a few dollars. Always check seller feedback before you purchase an item to ensure he or she has excellent feedback from other buyers.
Taffeta is the perfect material for formal wear. It looks elegant, and it is sturdy. It also holds its shape well, and works for every body type. The biggest decisions buyers face is when they have to select the right style, colour, and design. While longer dresses are typically seen as more formal, shorter dresses are for semi-formal occasions or for daywear. Taffeta is sometimes combined with other materials such as lace, chiffon, or tulle.
Taffeta is stiff and textured, creating a look that automatically upgrades any dress to a dressier status. Whether consumers decide on a simple taffeta shift to wear to garden parties, or floor-length taffeta gowns as bridesmaid dresses, the most important factor in choosing taffeta dresses is the fit. Buyers should measure their hips, bust, and waist with a tape measure to ensure the proper size is purchased.

I've always had this thing about Scandinavia, and so, have begun doing a set of Tomtens in the colours of the different flags...
Here's Norway...red body, blue cross, white trim...
This is also my very first attempt at doing snow cuffs; every pattern I've seen has had them being made from the cuff up, but, it being a Tomten and being knit from the shoulder DOWN...and I've never heard of snow cuffs being done in all garter stitch before...
...well, I just HAD to try it.
I kind of like the way it turned out.
Nice little

My name is Latisha and I am getting married July 9th, 2011 at Beaches Negril. I have my first phone session with Renee Phillips next Wednesday on the 31st.
I have no idea what I want. I see a few people have had weddings there, I was wondering if adding things on to the package can really become pricey. I am doing the beautiful beginnings and just adding on to that. I am more concerned with having a nice party vibe for an extended period of time. My wedding starts at 4 but i want to party til 11. Is that going to cost me an arm and a leg? Any tips on how to cut costs?

hello, we looked at that resort but went with Hilton Rose Hall outside Montego Bay in the end. Our wedding is at 4pm followed by an informal bbq on the beach with a private bar. We are paying for a consumption bar until 7pm. We have 34 guests with us from the UK who are staying at the hotel with us as AI guests but also have our Jamaican family joining us until 7pm,we just couldnt afford to pay for a bar all night. Even though you are AI guests you still have to pay for drinks and food for everyone. We are hoping the party will continue once they have departed (its a working day for them) at one of the bars near the beach. We are also having a party on the Saturday at my mother in law to be's house in Falmouth so will be doing it all again then for longer.

By Jeff Garcia, Project Spurs
Recently, I was able to participate in a Q&A with San Antonio Spurs' guard Manu Ginobili at Spurs.com.
Here was my question for Ginobili:
My question for you is after the Spurs season was over, you said, "Everybody could tell it wasn't enough, that we were not ever, probably, a championship-caliber team. We were close. But we never made it to that level." What was missing from the team to push it to that level this past season?
MG : We started playing well as a team too late in the season. That put us on the 7th spot and to win it in that situation is really hard. A few teams played better than us and they beat us fair and square. We'll be better next season, for sure.
Got to appreciate the honesty from Ginobili. It was too little, too late for the Spurs this past season.

Claim: A pair of scammers attempted to pass checks written in disappearing ink.
Origins: Criminals often think they're smarter than they are. In this particular tale, we'll look at the escapade of two such individuals who thought they'd come up with a foolproof fraud scheme.
In 1996, a couple of Indiana teenagers believed they'd hit upon an unbeatable system for hanging bad paper: they would inscribe checks
to merchants in disappearing ink; by the time these financial instruments reached their bank, they'd be blank and thus uncollectible.
Five merchants reported receiving $2,000 in checks written in purple ink that soon faded before their eyes. The scheme looked like it was off to a good start.
However, the master plan did not take into account that the act of writing leaves marks upon a check in the form of indentations, or that the missing ink can be "raised" by various processes performed at crime labs. The blank fields therefore weren't blank at all.
It also didn't help that the checks used by the felonious pair were pre-printed with the name and account number of one of them.
The two 19-year-olds, Jeffrey J. Pyrcioch and Heather M. Green, were arrested on suspicion of fraud and theft.
