Dimensions & More Info
- 152 w x 244 cm l.
- 244 w cm x 305 cm l.
- 274 w cm x 366 cm l.
- 0.8 m w x 2.1 m l. (Runner)
- Rug thickness: 1.3 cm.
- To learn how to choose the right rug size, visit our Rug Guide.
- Vacuum regularly on a low-power setting to prevent debris from settling into roots of the fibres. Use a vacuum cleaner without a beater brush as it may cause damage to the pile. For best results, vacuum from different directions, making several passes over the area.
- Shedding of loose fibres will occur but will diminish over time. Expect the most shedding to occur within the first 3—6 months.
- Remove spills immediately; if liquid, blot with clean, un-dyed cloth by pressing firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible. For hard-to-remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
- Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight.
- Use rug protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening piles.
- Do not pull loose ends. Clip them with scissors to remove.
- Store your rug by rolling it front side out and wrapping in cloth for protection. Do not fold or store rug in an airtight plastic bag. Place in dry, well-ventilated area.
- To protect your investment, use a rug pad. A rug pad provides traction between the rug and floor to prevent slipping. It adds padding, keeps the rug smooth and flat, and prevents colour transfer.
- Rotate or reposition your rug and/or rug pad every 3 months. This will aide in a more uniform floor surface patina and decrease the likelihood of the rug pad or exposed backing adhering to the floor surface where they are placed. Rotating your rug will promote even wear on the surface and extend the life of the rug.

Poll contradicts Armstrong Williams's speculation about public opinion on juvenile death penalty
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
In a column criticizing the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision striking down the death penalty for minors, radio host and syndicated columnist Armstrong Williams opined that "a majority of Americans would find it acceptable" to execute juvenile criminals like Lee Boyd Malvo, convicted of murder in the 2002 Washington, D.C.-area sniper killings, and Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. In fact, public polling has revealed that clear majorities of Americans favor life imprisonment for these criminals rather than death.
A December 2003 ABC News poll found that although 56 percent of respondents favored the death penalty for Malvo when no other option was presented, 52 percent chose "life in prison with no chance of parole" when it was offered as an alternative, while the percentage favoring the death penalty dropped to 37 percent. The poll also showed that 49 percent of respondents were generally opposed to the death penalty for minors, compared to 26 percent who supported it and 23 percent who said it "depends." Asked specifically to choose between "the death penalty" for juvenile criminals in general and "life in prison with no chance of parole," 62 percent chose life imprisonment compared to only 21 percent who chose the death penalty.
As for the Columbine shooters, only one of them was a minor when the 1999 shootings occurred; Klebold was 17, but Harris was 18. Their shooting spree ended when both shooters killed themselves. Media Matters for America did not find polls asking respondents if they would have favored the death penalty in this particular case.
From Williams's March 7 syndicated column:
Do you think a majority of Americans would have supported the death penalty for Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, after they stalked through the halls of Columbine High murdering classmates? What about for DC sniper Lee Boyd Malvo? He was 17 years old when he participated in a shooting spree that left ten people dead. Are these the whimsical acts of a minor? Or are they calculated acts of brutality deserving the full extension of criminal punishment? I think a majority of Americans would find it acceptable to punish these juveniles to the full extent of the law. I think they would do so because that's what these criminals deserve. Somehow the Supreme Court missed this point.

Grilled Corn On The Cob Recipes
Grilled Corn on the Cob (Chili Lime Corn Recipe)
We grilled a lot of meat and vegetables yesterday, but the star of the show was grilled corn. It was so sweet! We had several with salt and just a touch of butter, but I also made a rub of lime zest, lime juice, red chili flakes, garlic and caramelized onions to balance and enhance the sweetness.
We're not very good about making use of our grill during the summer, but after today the whole family has been inspired to prepare barbecues more regularly. Hope everyone had a great 4th!

Fire-Roasted Corn in Miso Butter (Grilled Corn on the Cob)
We finally made it to Ashland, Oregon. The place we're staying at is fantastic and has a large barbecue grill. I decided to take advantage of it and grill fresh corn while the family was having fun in the swimming pool.
Instead of seasoning the corn with regular salt, I used white miso paste, which is a fermented rice and soybean combination. I chose white miso paste which is fermented for only a few weeks, as opposed to regular miso which is fermented for several months. I find the flavor to be less salty, with a subtle sweetness. Of course, if you don't have miso paste on hand, you could always use regular salt, but what would be the fun in that?

John Phillips' painting of Wendy Whiteley, wife of renowned Australian artist, the late Brett Whiteley, doesn't portray her "in a singular moment, but is a moulding of what I was able to capture of her during sittings over a five-week period," says Phillips. "Fragments of her expressions and gestures combine on the canvas, in a way they perhaps never have done in the natural world.
"The portrait changed drastically as my perceptions of Wendy accumulated: regal, stubborn, headstrong yet fragile, compassionate and incredibly cheeky."
Meeting her for the first time, Phillips quickly realised Whiteley wasn't interested in small talk. "Though I often felt like I was being interrogated, she made me feel entirely welcome," he says. "Our conversations revolved around our families. As we talked it become clearer to me that Wendy's life is now far removed from the days when Brett painted her drunk or naked. A new life focus for Wendy is her garden, grafted onto a derelict Railway site."
One of Phillips' early intentions was to reference a 1968 portrait by Brett Whiteley called Wendy. "Wendy explained to me how she had told Brett to change the background colour in it from yellow to a deep plum," he says. "Once, Brett's work and Wendy's life were entirely intertwined. I used the plum to indicate how this connection lingers."
A more direct reference to Brett is made through one of his giraffe sculptures (Giraffe no.1), which is pictured sitting near the framed opening as if partly checking up on Wendy and partly appreciating the fig-filtered harbour view. "The physical presence of the sculpture in the portrait brings an echoing tactility to Wendy's past life," says Phillips.
Born in England in 1980, Phillips came to Australia aged four when his parents immigrated. He graduated from the University of NSW in 2004 with a Bachelor of Architecture. He had his first solo exhibition in Switzerland last year and will have his first solo show in Australia in September. His portrait of Neville Gruzman appeared in the Salon des Refuses in 2005.

BRONX, N. Y. - This Friday at Van Cortlandt Park, the Yale men raced at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships. The Bulldogs placed seventh overall with a score of 176 points. Princeton was the team champion for the third year in a row with a team score of 58 points, just barely edging out Columbia's 61. Dartmouth senior Ben True was the individual winner of the race, crossing the line in an impressive time of 23:59.6--the fastest time in Heps history-- after leading almost the entire race. The top finisher for the Bulldogs was senior Jared Bell, who took 21st place with a time of 25:21.
The other four of the top-five runners who scored for Yale were senior Jake Gallagher (30th, 25:37), senior John Hinkle (40th, 25:48), junior Max Brown (48th, 26:05) and junior Jeff Perrella (56th, 26:20).
Freshman Nathan Richards performed well--placing 60th overall in 26:26--finishing in the Bulldogs' top seven for only the second time this season. He was followed by senior Murat Kayali, who finished 64th in 26:33.
The Bulldogs did manage to improve upon last year's disappointing eighth-place finish, but their Heps performance did not reflect the team's stronger results from earlier in the season or past individual performances of returning runners.
Luckily, this is not the end of the road for the team: in two weeks, the Yale men will race at Van Cortlandt Park once again, only this time at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships. The meet, to be held on Sat., Nov. 15, will feature over thirty teams from New England and New York; five other Ivy-League teams will also compete, giving the Bulldogs a chance for post-Heps redemption. Last year, Yale placed eighth overall, and Gallagher led the squad with a 19th place finish.

Last week, the journal Nature published a study that speaks to the essence of our human potential: Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania think they may be on the verge of regenerating lost hair follicles. That sound you just heard was a collective "Hoo-ah!" from every guy who hasn't taken off his baseball cap since 1998.
The problem with science is it seems to spend a lot of time working on things that, in the end, aren't absolutely necessary. For instance, how many MIT graduates are, right now as we speak, working on inventing a softer toilet paper whose increased suppleness will be explained to us by cartoon bears? I'm thinking thousands.
But last week, the journal Nature published a study that speaks to the essence of our human potential: Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania think they may be on the verge of regenerating lost hair follicles. That sound you just heard was a collective "Hoo-ah!" from every guy who hasn't taken off his baseball cap since 1998.
So for the first time, it looks like baldness might become a thing of the past, like scurvy and heavy metal. Of course, they haven't done this in humans yet, but it's worked in bald mice, resulting in a significant decline in the number of mice buying Ferraris when they turn 50.
"But why should you be concerned with such a discovery?" you may ask. "You have a fine head of hair! Why, it's almost — if you can judge such things by a black-and-white, one-by-one-inch photo printed on newsprint — lustrous!" And it's true that you've always been extremely perceptive.
Actually, though, I recently saw a picture of myself in my early 20s, and the sheer volume of hair piled up in curvy waves above my brow was downright shocking. In contrast, more recent photos have shown what I think are undeniable flashes of visible scalp — my wife says it's a trick of the light, but the older we get the more I realize she just says these things because she loves me.
It may sound vain, but seeing that old picture reminded me that I liked having a lot of hair. Not so much when I'd oversleep and have to go to school with my head looking like the side of a cliff, but other times. For instance, for a while I had a pretty good pompadour going — I cut quite a fine figure in the late '80s, what with my three extra inches of hair and my big sweaters with patches of leather on them. It was like Elvis and Bill Cosby had accidentally had their DNA recombinated.
I thought those days were long gone, but now it seems that rather than continue on my inevitable journey toward looking like a Batman villain, I may just get the chance to have that head of hair back. I'm no scientist, but from what I've read it seems fairly easy, as long as you don't mind having the top layer of your scalp sliced off. And let's face it; if the other option is being bald, having a giant scab where your head should be is a small price to pay. I think it was Burt Reynolds who said that.
Meanwhile, I'm sure there are those who think there's no need for a baldness cure, that there's nothing wrong with having no hair, and we should all just stop being so narcissistic. Unfortunately, everyone who says that either has a ton of hair or is basing the entire theory on Capt. Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise, who was far from typical. This was a man who could pull off going to work in his pajamas.
So in the meantime I'll keep doing what I can to stave off the desertion of my follicles (incidentally, volumizing hair gel — not only doesn't it work, but I'm starting to think that "volumizing" may not even be a real word), and wait for science to do its thing. You know they're working hard: They say if they can perfect the process, it may even eventually allow doctors to regenerate limbs. Limbs!
I can't wait to hear what the cartoon bears have to say about that.

This is a very practical post. Cut your toenails.
The other week, my third son went to Kendo. He and his partner jammed their toes together during a match. His partner had long toenails and as a result, his partner's big toenail bent back 90 degrees (straight up). Ouch!!!
My son was very lucky that he was not cut. Toenails are often dirty and cuts from them can lead to infection.
As Karate students, we must always think about safety. We should also be considerate of our training partners. Keeping our toenails and fingernails neatly trimmed is one of our responsibilities.
When I see Karate students or instructors with long nails, I think that they must not be practicing.

REAL ESTATE- GIMME SHELTER- Boiler maker: Is it time to scrap that old furnace?
this week's expert
Tom Kavounas
Q: Our heating and cooling systems are getting older– we have an oil burning furnace and separate air conditioning unit– and they've been having problems we've had to repair. Should we keep repairing it or replace the whole system?
A: First, there are three primary factors to consider: the operating costs of your system, the life expectancy of your equipment, and the configuration of your entire system.
Operating Cost
Operating cost is a continuous and ongoing factor that should be considered. Restoring an old system will only bring it back to its original level of energy efficiency. Although you may save the cost of the repair bills along with the frustration of system breakdowns, you still will not save on your energy bills.
Even a six-year old heat pump or air conditioner is considered grossly inefficient by today's energy efficiency standards. So are most furnaces built before 1980. You could save as much as 60 percent on your energy bills with new high-efficiency equipment. That's how and why installing a new heating and cooling system can actually pay for itself in energy savings within a relatively short time.
Life Expectancy
When you're frustrated with an equipment break-down, it can be tempting to find the least expensive "quick fix" to get on with your life in relative comfort. That "quick fix" may be the least expensive now, but it may not give you the most value– or cost you the least– in the long run.
Paying for repairs to an old or inefficient system frequently just prolongs the inevitable. It's almost like putting a bandage on a serious injury. An older system that breaks down once is likely to break down again, and again, and again. That means more emergency service calls or, worse yet, the risk of damage to your home or to other components of your heating and cooling system.
The Total System
When one component of your system breaks down unexpectedly, it's easy to just focus on repairing or replacing that component. But each part of your system works integrally with the others to maintain efficiency and reliability. For that reason, heating and air conditioning professionals always recommend that their customers keep their total system in mind.
For example, replacing your old oil furnace with a new higher-efficiency model but leaving your old thermostat in place, will not allow you to enjoy all of the efficiency advantages the furnace has to offer. Likewise, if you install a new furnace but don't get a humidifier, the air may seem cooler, forcing you to operate your new system at a higher temperature to be comfortable. Plus, you can often save on installation costs if you have several components of your system replaced at the same time.
If you do decide to replace your system, remember that every home is different. Some are big, some are small. Older homes are not as tightly sealed as new ones, which means efficiency is reduced. The number and size of windows, what direction the home is facing, number of mature trees in the yard and many more factors can affect your comfort and may play a part in deciding what type of system is best for you. Your heating and air conditioning contractor should have the expertise to perform an energy audit and to assess any unusual circumstances surrounding the specific needs of your home, as well as to help you choose the right system.

NEW HAVEN — For a few days this fall, at least, the Beeman Elementary School gymnasium is home not to bouncing basketballs and flying jump ropes but instead the smells of sizzling onions and the happy chatter of young gourmets-in-training.
In a project headed up by Beeman health and physical education teacher Patty Whittemore, all of the New Haven elementary school's 162 students have taken to the kitchen, spending a few hours every week whipping up chowders and zucchini pizzas and fresh pesto.
The cooking project, which will culminate in a harvest dinner for families at Beeman's open house on next Wednesday, is part of a "place-based" learning approach that the school is integrating into its classrooms. The place-based philosophy promotes integrating communities into the classroom — which, in Beeman's case, means putting down roots in its own backyard garden and reaching out to neighbors to celebrate New Haven's local produce.
"It's kind of a cool, community thing," said Whittemore, The project emphasizes cooperative learning, service to the community and the basics of good nutrition —
Last week, students were hard at work on a bright, crisp Tuesday, readying ingredients for the open house meal. Earlier in the morning, younger students had made the base for a zucchini pizza — they identified zucchinis on a table heaped with produce provided by local families, cleaned the vegetables and set to work on the preparation.
Fifth- and sixth-grade students clattered into the gymnasium, where Whittemore told them that they'd be making corn chowder for the open house.
The meal is being made over the course of several weeks and frozen, and Whittemore hopes that student volunteers will be on hand for a few hours on the night of the open house to put finishing touches on the meal.
MIDDLEBURY — State officials approved the budgets for Vermont's 14 hospitals earlier this month, green-lighting a statewide average 9.5 percent increase in hospital rates, which tops last year's increase by three percentage points.
Middlebury's Porter Medical Center topped the list for approved percent rate increases with an 11 percent hike. But Porter officials explained that only a portion of its patients will actually feel the full brunt of this double-digit increase in fees.
"There aren't that many patients that actually pay full rates," explained Porter Vice President for Finance Duncan Brines, noting that many insurance companies, and certainly Medicaid and Medicare, have negotiated lower rates.
The increase in hospital's approved spending plan for the 2009 fiscal year represents an 11.5 percent increase. It comes in at just over $57 million, up from a nearly $51 million expense budget for the previous year.
Two other Vermont hospitals had requested bigger rate increases than Porter — Northwestern Vermont Medical Center in St. Albans and Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington had requested 11.4 and 11.8 percent increases, respectively. Porter itself sought an 11.2 percent rate increase.
But state officials at the Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care Administration (BISHCA), the agency that regulates Vermont hospitals, determined the Middlebury health center would need to cut its rate increase by 0.2 percent, and the other hospitals by more.
Fletcher Allen Health Care, the state's largest hospital, asked for and received a 10 percent rate increase. BISHCA gave its largest cut in a proposed rate increase to Rutland Regional Medical Center, which saw its requested 10.9 percent rate increased dropped to 9.6 percent.

FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh planning and zoning officials heard on Sept. 24 a preliminary proposal to build a McDonald's Restaurant, Jiffy Mart convenience store and gas station on the 2.5-acre Route 7 parcel that was most recently occupied by the Ferrisburgh Roadhouse and before then by Burdick's Country Kitchen.
Champlain Oil Co. (COCO) has a deal to buy the parcel contingent on getting permits for its proposal, according to landowner Marcos Llona, who operated the Ferrisburgh Roadhouse until it was destroyed by fire in June 2007. COCO had no further meetings with Ferrisburgh zoning officials scheduled as of Friday morning.
Llona and his wife, Claudia, Shelburne residents, bought Burdick's Country Kitchen, the 2.5 acres and a home on the property from Vergennes residents Sue and Greg Burdick for $450,000 in July 2006.
Llona said he and his wife decided it was too risky to rebuild the restaurant given the current economic climate, and added their window for rebuilding without a completely new and more costly septic system is also coming to a close.
"I would love to rebuild the restaurant, I really would. It's a good site. It is needed ... But I don't have the resources," Llona said, adding, "I can't do a second mortgage on my home and take that risk."
COCO, which had been interested in the property before the Llonas, approached them this summer, he said.
Ferrisburgh officials said Wednesday's meeting was not a public hearing because no formal application has been filed. It was described in the warning as a "special meeting" for "sketch plan review." Such meetings often serve to give applicants feedback on possible issues with their plans.

MIDDLEBURY — People who shop and dine in Middlebury will notice a slight jump in their bills beginning this Wednesday, Oct. 1. That's the date on which a 1-percent local option tax on sales, rooms, meals and alcohol will take effect in Addison County's shire town.
The transition should be fairly seamless for most Middlebury merchants and lodgers, who will have to go through the time and expense of reprogramming their cash registers.
The state will collect the new tariff along with the existing state taxes. The Vermont Department of Taxes will then return 70 percent of the local option taxes it collects back to the town of Middlebury. The community will use the funds to help pay for the new Cross Street Bridge.
Backers of the new bridge are hopeful the new taxes will be painless for those who routinely shop and dine in Middlebury.
"I think during the course of people's regular transactions, they aren't going to notice it," said Middlebury selectboard Chairman John Tenny.
Townspeople last May voted 305 to 102 in favor of implementing the local option taxes, projected to raise $7 million over the next 30 years. That money will be combined with another $9 million that Middlebury College has agreed to contribute to the $16 million bridge project.
A 1-percent local option tax on sales, meals, rooms and alcohol would've netted Middlebury a combined total of $725,319 in 2007, according to the Department of Taxes.
The new bridge, slated for completion in 2010, will link Main Street with Court Street over the Otter Creek, via Cross Street. The project, which will include a roundabout intersection at Cross/College/Main streets, is designed to move traffic more smoothly through, and around, downtown Middlebury.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Development Review Board (DRB) on Monday gave its final, conditional approval to a proposed Staples store in The Centre/Hannaford shopping plaza off Route 7 South.
Developers, however, will have much work to do if they are to proceed with their plans for the 14,737-square-foot office supplies store. The 24-page page decision calls for Middlebury Associates LLC, to, among other things:
• Submit a final planned unit development master plan showing that The Centre/Hannaford plaza will "be deemed fully built out with the Staples, based on the zoning limitations of traffic capacity, parking and town plan conformance."
That limitation, according to the final decision, encompasses the former Middlebury Car Wash property at the southern end of The Centre, a site recently acquired by Middlebury Associates, LLC (aka Myron Hunt Inc.) and previously slated for a Starbucks. Starbucks withdrew its Middlebury plans earlier this year, amid a company-wide reorganization.
The DRB decision states that the former "car wash site asphalt must be reduced to accommodate only an egress drive for one-way exiting southbound traffic, while the remainder of the car wash site shall be restored to green space with grass, shrubs and tree plantings."
• Build access connections between The Centre and the neighboring Middlebury Short Stop and former Dollar Market. The decision notes that developers agreed to those connections — designed to improve traffic flow and circulation into, and out of, the shopping plaza — on April 27, 2004, as part of the approval for the new National Bank of Middlebury building. Those connections have not been built.
• Carry out a series of sidewalk connections, entrance upgrades, crosswalks improvements and landscape additions to enhance pedestrian safety and aesthetics within the plaza.
BRISTOL — The Bristol Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) voted last Thursday to reject the contentious proposal from the Lathrop Limited Partnership to construct and operate a 39-acre gravel pit on its property at South Street and Rounds Road in Bristol.
The board's decision, however, which comes nearly two months after the board wrapped up evidentiary hearings on the issue, falls short of closure for Bristol's heated five-year debate on the project. Earlier this week, Jim Lathrop's lawyer, Mark Hall, indicated that the Lathrops intend to file an appeal to the decision before the 30-day window for an appeal closes.
The ZBA voted 5 to 2 to deny the Lathrop application. Acting Chair Kevin Brown and board members Carol Clauss, Peter Grant, Paul Jackman and Brenda Tillberg voted to reject the project, with Bob Stetson and Ron Kowalski dissenting.
The ZBA found that the Lathrop application for conditional use did not fulfill a subsection in the town's zoning bylaws that prohibits the creation of a gravel pit, "unless provision is made to refill such pit."
The section in question — section 526 — deals specifically with commercial sand and gravel operations, outlining 10 requirements for these operations in Bristol. The board found that the Lathrop proposal met the majority of these requirements, and indeed was a stronger application than the original proposal submitted to the ZBA in 2003.
According to the ZBA's decision, the second of these 10 requirements, which calls for any pit created to be refilled, is designed to favor small projects that can be refilled economically or the opening of a hillside where slopes and contours can be smoothed into the surrounding landscape.
MIDDLEBURY — While other Addison County residents opened presents last Christmas, Jinny Duncan and her family were simply thankful to be spending the day in a warm house.
And the way fuel costs are going, Duncan isn't optimistic there will be many gifts to open this Christmas, either.
"Higher fuel costs means the difference between having the money to pay for things you need every day, and having enough heat to keep the kids warm," Duncan, a Bristol resident, said.
"It's a very scary time to be a Vermonter."
Many other area families are now sharing that same view on the cusp of a Vermont winter that will dawn with the national economy in a dive and heating fuel prices — already above an average of $3.50 per gallon — poised to rise further with demand.
"Everyone is really concerned this year," said Karen Haury, executive director of Addison Community Action/Central Vermont Office of Economic Opportunity (ACA/CVOEO). "(Fuel prices) are on everybody's mind almost everywhere you go. That's what they are talking about."
Haury on Monday conducted a survey of six Addison County heating fuel dealers and found prices for No. 2 heating oil ranging from $3.59 per gallon to $4.26 per gallon.
And that's not where prices will stay, if recent history is any indication, according to Haury.
"Within a week, I expect to see a big spike up," she said.
And when those prices spike as demand rises and the nights get colder, needy households — a broadening segment of the population in today's economy — will seek assistance from ACA/CVOEO, other human services organizations and area citizen/church groups.
CORNWALL — Klara Calitri is exactly the sort of woman you will, upon meeting, immediately wish were your own grandmother, or your own standing date for Sunday coffee and cake.
The 86-year-old Cornwall artist is compact and ebullient — and as full of stories as her house, which is packed to the gills with the results of her "painting and potting." In places, the paintings are stacked three or four deep, leaning precariously against tables piled high with half-finished pots and brightly decorated fountains.
It's something of a rotating collection — pieces of art are forever jumping in and out of the house for display. Calitri's work is on display at the Brandon Artists' Gallery, the Southern Vermont Arts Center and as far a field as California — and most recently, several of her paintings went up in the gallery space at the Bristol Dental Group on Exchange Street in Middlebury.
"I like to have people enjoy my pictures. I am not of the Ashcan School," Calitri said, referring to artists creating work in the early 20th century that was serious and often dark in tone. "That's not me. I want people to feel uplifted by what I've done."
Remarkably enough, she's produced the majority of this art in the 30 years since her retirement. She's always been interested in art, Calitri said — but she certainly hasn't always been an artist.
She emigrated from Austria in 1939 — "Hitler time," Calitri notes. Her father was Jewish, her mother Catholic, and by 1939 she said it was "high time" for her family to leave. The affidavit — the $3,000 document required for emigration — came by way of a distant cousin the family had never known, who Calitri's grandfather had helped during the First World War.

AIG MCAAs defeat New Zealand Universities 34-11
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – The USA Rugby AIG Men's Collegiate All-Americans finished their New Zealand Tour with a dominant 34-11 win Saturday against New Zealand Universities, who narrowly won the first meeting between the two teams last Sunday 17-10.
"This was definitely our best performance of the tour and deserving of the victory," Head Coach Matt Sherman said. "It was pleasing to see the team make significant improvements in the areas we set out to, particularly as it related to playing in the poor conditions.
"Our set pieces improved dramatically, we made better decisions with the ball in hand and were able to retain possession while also speeding up our ruck ball. Defensively, we were organized, committed and very physical."
New Zealand Universities got on the board first with a penalty kick in the 15th minute, capitalizing on some early ill-disciplined defense by the MCAAs. Patrick Sullivan put the MCAAs in the lead in the 17th minute with a try, and captain Ryan Roundy and Kyle Sumison pressured the home side to give Joseph Cowley a chance to increase the lead with a penalty kick, which he converted.
A strong MCAA scrum in the dying seconds of the first half resulted in Roundy adding another try, with Cowley converting for a 15-3 halftime lead.
The MCAAs did not let up, as Daniel Barrett scored a try of his own in the 46th minute after sustained pressure inside the 10. Cowley converted again for the 22-3 lead. New Zealand Universities kicked another penalty in the 51st minute, but John Cullen broke a few tackles on a counterattack to dot down in the in-goal to put the MCAAs up 29-6.
Paris Hollis' try in the 65th minute negated New Zealand Universities' 75th minute try, and the MCAAs celebrated their first win of the tour.
"We learned from the first two games that a good performance wasn't going to be enough to win down here," Sherman said. "We had to dominate in most categories, minimize mistakes and capitalize on opportunities, and be fully committed in both effort and focus. I think we got that today throughout the entire team.
"In particular, I thought our forwards played very well and physical. Kyle Sumison, the man of the match, was a monster around the field for the second game in a row. The back row of Daniel Barrett and Ryan Roundy had a lot of impactful moments, second rowers John Cullen and Mike Lawrenson had a lot of strong carries and were physical in the rucks and tackles all game, and the front row had moments around the field and the at the edge of the scrum."

Game Warden Michelle Mount Named Texas Midwest Officer of the Year
AUSTIN — State game warden Michelle Mount has been named Officer of the Year by the Association of Midwest Fish and Game Law Enforcement Officers.
The award was presented to Mount by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Executive Director Carter Smith at the Thursday meeting of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission at TPWD Headquarters.
Each year, the TPWD Law Enforcement Division selects one officer from across the state who has shown a strong degree of professionalism, has excelled above average standards, and has shown continuous dedication to the agency's mission.
Mount, a nine-year game warden stationed in Tarrant County, was recognized for her commitment and service to TPWD's public outreach mission which includes presentations and events such as hunter education classes, school programs, inner city youth presentations, and women in the outdoors events. She is also the regional point of contact for the public for questions regarding nongame and invasive species in the Fort Worth and Dallas areas.
Along with being involved in public outreach, Mount also leads the region in contacts and cases filed on wholesalers and retailers in the Tarrant County area. Mount currently serves as the regional liaison for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport and has collaborated with several airlines to develop a system for confiscation and disposition of illegal aquatic products. She has also worked with the court system and prosecutors in her area on understanding the importance of conservation law violations.
Begun 67 years ago, the Association of Midwest Fish and Game Law Enforcement Officers is the oldest conservation law enforcement organization in the country. Twenty-nine member agencies from the United States and Canada make up the Midwest area and TPWD has been a member since 1995.

>>>Course Map
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Head coach Joe Samprone and the Georgia College cross country programs are excited to welcome six quality cross country programs to the West Campus Cross Country Course for the Bobcat Invitational Friday, Sept. 13.
The women's race begins at 6 p.m. and is a 5K distance. The men's 8K begins at 6:30 p.m.
Georgia College will welcome teams from South Georgia State College, Dalton State College, Gordon State College, USC Aiken, Armstrong Atlantic State University and Young Harris College.
Armstrong will bring a men's team only, USCA a women's team, while all else will compete in both races.
Both Bobcat teams will treat the race as their annual Cancer Awareness meet, with the women sporting pink shirts for breast cancer awareness and the men wearing orange for prostate cancer awareness.
Four races have been run all-time at the West Campus Cross Country Course, including the 2008 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship. The course record for the women is 18:45 by Allison Kreuetzer of Clayton State University in 2008, at the regular-season race. The course record for the men is 26:07, owned by Clayton State's Fidelis Mutiso, also at the same race.
The Bobcat record for the men's side is 27:49, set by Colin Conroy at that same race in 2008. The Bobcat women's record also came that day, as Karissa Ekstrom finished in 20:07.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at @GCBobcats on Twitter and Facebook for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Interview: Douglas Prothero, CEO, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
As privately owned, luxury yachts near the size of the average cruise ship, behold a new option, which is anything but commonplace: The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. At 624 feet and 11 decks, her exterior profile resembles a sleek superyacht design, not a cruise ship on the horizon. Launched in October 2018 at Hijos de J. Barreras Shipyard in Vigo, Spain, the flagship of the new brand is now in outfitting and interior finishing. The project was co-managed by The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Marriott and Tillberg Design of Sweden.

U.S. Unsure About Details of Tanker Towed to Iran
U.S. officials say they are unsure whether an oil tanker towed into Iranian waters was seized by Iran or rescued after facing mechanical faults as Tehran asserts, creating a mystery at sea at a time of high tension in the Gulf.The MT Riah disappeared from ship tracking maps when its transponder was switched off in the Strait of Hormuz on July 14. Its last position was off the coast of the Iranian island of Qeshm in the strait.Iran says it towed a vessel into its waters from the strait after the ship issued a distress call. Although Tehran did not name the vessel, the Riah is the only ship whose recorded movements appear likely to match that description.A U.S.
IMO2020: The Rise of Bulk Liquid Hydrogen in Norway
Imagine a power distribution network where excess renewable energy from hydropower, wind, solar, and nuclear energy is converted to hydrogen and used as transportation fuel in the maritime industry. With the allure of a zero emissions fuel, a number of ship owners are starting to seriously consider hydrogen for newly built vessels. As a bold first step, the country of Norway has provided a number of grants to leading maritime companies to conduct feasibility studies into various aspects of this emerging technology sector.

Ryan targeted on women's issues
Paul Ryan co-sponsored a federal "personhood" amendment. He voted to defund Planned Parenthood. He opposes all abortions, except when the life of the mother is at risk. And he supports a federal bill requiring women to get an ultrasound before an abortion.
If this sounds like an ominous ad from the Obama for president campaign, something like it could soon be coming to a TV near you. These are among the positions the Wisconsin congressman has taken in his career that Democrats are bound to highlight in the weeks ahead in ads, press conferences and rallies as they try to widen President Barack Obama's lead among women over Mitt Romney in polls.
Story Continued Below
Picked just a week ago as his vice presidential contender, Ryan is poised to become a key part of that strategy for both the Obama campaign and women's groups hoping to energize their voters and those who might have been considering Romney.
( Also on POLITICO: Ryan's mom is new face in Medicare wars)
For all the attention on how his budget roadmap changes Medicare, Democrats see Ryan's record on issues related to women as an opportunity to yoke Romney, who has flip-flopped on abortion rights in the past decade, to positions the presumptive GOP nominee staked out during the Republican primaries.
The initial tweets from the @BarackObama account last weekend, after Ryan was selected, were 140-character frames on Ryan's record on women.
And the campaign's first purely negative ad about the new GOP running mate was not on Medicare, but on abortion rights and Planned Parenthood.
"These are really extreme positions that are far to the right of most Americans," said Eric Ferrero, vice president of communications at the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. "They're also quite consistent with, frankly, Mitt Romney's positions. This ticket is far to the right of most Americans."
"Though it was clear before, think it's clearer now," said EMILY's List spokeswoman Jess McIntosh. "Honestly, I think the Ryan budget — the idea of cavalierly ending Medicare as we know it and paying for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires — couldn't possibly make things any clearer for women who are going to make this decision. Honestly, Romney has been trying so hard not to take any positions that Ryan makes it hard for him to do that."
At NARAL Pro-Choice America, the abortion rights advocacy group, Political Director Beth Shipp said the group has been building a battleground state model to identify "Obama defectors" across the country who may be looking at Romney as a moderate who can improve the economy.
"We can now not only remind people how good Obama has been — but how bad Romney-Ryan will be. It's a full court press," Shipp said. "There [are] actually two types [of] persuadables: defectors and turnouts. We're confident we can reach both once women become familiar with Paul Ryan's views on choice and reproductive rights."

Global Coalition Remains United in Fight to Defeat ISIS
By DipNote Bloggers on March 22, 2017
Today, the U.S. Department of State hosted the first full Meeting of the Ministers of the Global Coalition on the Defeat of ISIS since 2014. Today's Ministerial was an opportunity for Coalition members to review and redouble current efforts to reduce the threat ISIS poses to international security and our homelands.
In his remarks before Coalition partners, U.S. Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson reaffirmed that the goal of the Coalition remains to defeat ISIS. Secretary Tillerson outlined how the Coalition's military campaign in coordination with civilian stabilization and normalization efforts in Iraq and Syria will lead to the destruction of this barbaric terrorist organization.
The 68-member Global Coalition is the largest international coalition in history, and is joined together in common cause to reduce the threat ISIS poses to international security through civilian and military efforts. Coalition members are working collectively to defeat ISIS with a robust approach to military operations, supporting the stabilization of territory liberated from ISIS, and normalizing these regions by engaging in broad-based civilian efforts with local partners and leaders that provides humanitarian aid to communities suffering from displacement and conflict.
The Coalition has made significant progress in denying ISIS safe haven and building the military capacity of those directly engaged in the fight against ISIS. Coalition operations have liberated 62 percent of the territories ISIS once controlled in Iraq and 30 percent in Syria. The number of ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria is at its lowest level since the group declared its "caliphate," down by more than half since its peak in 2014. The Coalition is now pressuring ISIS in Raqqa, its external operations headquarters, from where ISIS is plotting against Coalition member interests around the globe.
The Coalition has also supported our Iraqi partners to achieve significant progress in the fight to retake Mosul. To date, Coalition efforts have trained nearly 90,000 Iraqi Security Forces members, and Coalition members have donated some 8,200 tons of military equipment to our Iraqi and local Syrian partners in the fight against ISIS. As part of the training efforts in Syria, the Coalition has helped train thousands of Syrians who have joined the fight to defeat ISIS.
The Coalition is not just committed to the defeat of ISIS but also guarding against a resurgence in the future; as such the support for stabilization efforts is a strategic investment in the fight against ISIS. Coalition support for stabilization programs is crucial as we seek to hold terrain taken from ISIS and provide for people in liberated areas. A successful stabilization period will improve daily life for millions of people
Since 2014, Coalition members have provided more than $22.2 billion in stabilization, demining capabilities, economic support, and humanitarian assistance in Iraq and Syria. Last July, at the Iraq Pledging Conference held in Washington, DC, partners pledged more than $2.3 billion for humanitarian assistance, stabilization, and demining in Iraq. The Coalition expects to raise approximately $2 billion for these efforts in Iraq and Syria for 2017.

These funds are making way for a successful stabilization period that will improve daily life for millions of people. Today in east Mosul, stabilization projects are clearing rubble, clearing land mines, restoring water services and electricity, and nearly 32,000 boys and girls are now back in school. These efforts are being led by Iraqis locally in cooperation with the central government. At the same time, the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) is similarly working to demine liberated areas, while also focusing on building local demining capacity to help make these areas safer to live. Ten Coalition Members are on tap to meet one-third of Iraq's demining costs through 2018.
A successful stabilization phase will set the stage for a successful normalization phase in which local leaders and local governments will take on the process of restoring their communities in the wake of ISIS with our support. The development of a rejuvenated civil society in these places will lead to a disenfranchisement of ISIS and the emergence of stability and peace where there was once chaos and suffering.
In Iraq, local leaders are restoring services, clearing schools and clinics of explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices, helping families return home once they are ready, providing security, and contributing to re-establishing the rule of law in liberated areas. Iraq's success in rehabilitating liberated communities is due in part to the partnership it forged with Coalition members that has enabled the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to provide more than $240 million in stabilization programs over the last two years. The UNDP, working on the ground in Iraq with local partners, has implemented more than 350 projects to date, all of which have achieved their intended objectives on time and at cost.
The Coalition also supports and enables Government of Iraq-led military operations to ensure that cities are liberated and secured in a sustainable manner. By working with the United Nations and in partnership with the Government of Iraq, aid organizations have worked to ensure that humanitarian assistance is staged prior to military operations and in preparation for outflows of internally displaced persons (IDPs). In total, more than 1.5 million Iraqis have returned to their homes. By prepositioning emergency assistance, identifying local hold forces to provide post-ISIS security, establishing a demining capacity, and implementing quick-impact stabilization projects, we have seen a significant reduction in Iraq's IDP population and helped create conditions that facilitate voluntary, safe, and dignified IDP returns. Coalition partners are supporting increased capacity in rule of law by training more Iraqi police and exploring additional assistance to support Iraq's domestic capacity to hold members of ISIS accountable for their international crimes.
As the Coalition-backed forces make rapid progress in military operations to isolate Raqqa, we are applying lessons learned from Iraq to facilitate the stabilization of liberated territories in Syria. Since the start of the Coalition-supported Raqqa campaign last November, military operations have generated approximately 35,000 IDPs. The majority of IDPs continue to flee towards areas cleared by Coalition-supported forces, where they have been assisted by host communities and supported by NGOs. Approximately 27,000 have already returned home following expeditious clearance operations by Coalition-supported C-ISIS forces. The UN and NGO partners, with Coalition support, have provided assistance to tens of thousands of IDPs in this area since November.
Secretary Tillerson: Now is the time to strengthen our shared commitment to security, and invest in a fight in which we all have a stake. pic.twitter.com/pJmJrFatOH— Department of State (@StateDept) March 22, 2017
Secretary Tillerson reaffirmed the United States' commitment to the effort, emphasizing that defeating ISIS remains the United States' number one priority in the region. He encouraged his fellow coalition leaders to continue their collective effort, stating, "Our Coalition is united in stopping an ISIS resurgence, halting its global ambitions, and discrediting its ideological narrative. And we are ready to grow stronger and stay aggressive in this battle."

Justin Bieber + Selena Gomez Caught Making Out at Disneyland
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were spotted locking lips during a trip to Disneyland on Monday night. Radar Online has the image of the young couple kissing inside the Anaheim, Calif. park.
The duo was seen inside a Jamba Juice — not exactly the most romantic spot in the park, but when you're having '2 much fun' like these two are, the venue probably doesn't matter when you feel like expressing your love. Wearing similar outfits — knit hats, hoodie sweatshirts and skinny jeans — they were photographed by someone outside the restaurant as they stood in line waiting to order.
If Radar is correct that Bieber was at Disneyland on Monday, he must have taken the trip during a break from recording his upcoming album 'Believe.' According to Bieber's Twitter, he has spent time in the recording studio during each of the past three days, including Monday.
On Sunday, Grammy-winning songwriter/producer Kuk Harrell tweeted, "@justinbieber JB in the booth killin it!" On Monday, Bieber wrote simply, "In the studio working on #BELIEVE."

- How the paper is printed
- Sentinel owners: A century of leadership
- A community mirror: The first 100 years
- Location, location . . .
- Miracle on Wednesdays
The weekly newspaper began on April 9, 1896, as the Mathews-Middlesex Herald under G. F. Palmer, publisher and editor. He described it as a "weekly journal published in the interest of Middlesex and Mathews and the adjoining counties and devoted to news, agriculture, politics, literature and advertising. A strictly first class local paper."
At that time it was the only paper published in the five-county area of Mathews, Middlesex, Gloucester, Essex and King and Queen, all on the "south side" of the Rappahannock River.
When Walter H. Ryland and a group of local businessmen bought the paper less than a year later, its name was changed to Southside Sentinel and its coverage shifted to Middlesex and King and Queen counties. Ryland's partners were R.A. Davis, W.C. Walker, F.A. Bristow and W.E. Lipscomb.
Lipscomb became editor and Ryland was associate editor and business manager. The Sentinel's motto became "Pluck, Perseverance and Progress," still one of the most unusual in the nation.
Some time before June of 1901, Ryland became the sole owner of the Sentinel but later formed a partnership with H. Jeter Haydon. Haydon became editor and purchased a one-third interest in the business. The arrangement lasted until 1905 when Ryland bought out Haydon and once again became the sole owner.
Ryland brought a new level of credibility to the struggling little paper. He was well-known in the state and had served as Virginia's Commissioner of Fisheries. Unfortunately, he died in 1915 at age 45.
Two longtime employees, Carl R. Tomlinson and Julian Brown, bought the Sentinel from Ryland's estate in 1916. Tomlinson began working as a "printer's devil" at the paper when it was founded and he was still in school. Brown joined the paper in 1902 as a youngster right off a King and Queen County farm.
Tomlinson and Brown co-owned and co-edited the Sentinel for almost 40 years. When Tomlinson retired in 1952, Brown took over sole ownership of the paper and was the publisher and editor until he died in 1961. He had worked at the Sentinel for 59 years.
Brown's daughter, Reginia Dunn, a bookkeeper at the paper for years, took over the management of the Sentinel until it was sold in 1963 to attorneys John M. Bareford Sr. and William T. Bareford. They were concerned that someone would purchase the Sentinel and consolidate it with another paper.
Mrs. Dunn continued as the mainstay at the Sentinel for several more years while John Bareford, his wife, Marden, and son, John M., also worked in the business. The current owners, Fred and Bettie Lee Gaskins, purchased the paper in 1966.
Led by a dedicated staff, the paper has grown since the days of the 4-page Herald and a few hundred subscribers to today's circulation of over 5,500 and an average of 22-24 pages weekly. Besides this online version that is updated frequently, the staff also jointly produces The Rivah Visitor's Guide each month, May through October.
Modern quarters completed in 2004 are on Virginia Street in Urbanna.

Mike: Actually it's till tomorrow at 6pm, so you better hurry.
Erina: Oh really? But the thing is I'm not sure if I can do this myself.
Mike: Well, honestly I have a spare period right now. We could both go to the library together and I could help you out with it.
Erina: Oh that would be so great. Thank you so much.
Mike: Yeah, no problem. Let's go.
drop the class
Why do you want to drop the class?
When you drop a class, you stop taking a class. You remove the class from your school schedule.
You can drop a class, or drop out of school. In both cases it means you stop studying. Here are a few more uses:
- I had to drop my math class. It was too hard.
- The teachers asked me not to drop the class, so I stayed.
you know what I mean
It is not interesting at all, you know what I mean?
The phrase 'you know what I mean' is a very common phrase in English.
People use 'you know what I mean' to see if the listener shares the same feeling about the topic. Notice the following:
- Rainy days are so boring. You know what I mean?
- I totally know what you mean. I hate them too.
You'll see an academic heading.
A heading is like a title for a paragraph. When you read an article, or website, or newspaper, you see headings at the top of paragraph to explain the content.
On a website, a heading is used to help people navigate the site. Check these examples:
- The heading caught my attention, but the article was boring.
- A good reader always reads the heading before the article.
You better hurry
It's till tomorrow at 6 p.m., so you better hurry.
The phrase, or warning, 'you better hurry' lets the listener know they are short of time.
'You better hurry' is softer and more of a suggestion. 'Hurry!' is more direct and more of a command. Notice the following:
- If you want to eat, you better hurry. The cafeteria closes soon.
- You better hurry. The bus last leaves at midnight and it is 11:45 now.
a spare period
I have a spare period, so I can help you.
Spare means something extra or free and not in use, so if you have if you have a spare period, that means you have a period at school with nothing to do or no class to attend. Here are a few examples:
- I have a spare room is you need a place to stay.
- All cars have a spare tire in case one gets a flat.

From NinWiki
The official subsection of the nin.com website pertaining to Year Zero.
Go to this thread on ETS for discussion of this website
When the website went live, it contained a completely different image than the one displayed now, there was a vertical list of zeros. Over time the length of this list changed frequently, along with the number of zeros in each entry. This was the first indication that something strange was happening in regards to Year Zero.
Track Listing
Eventually, the listing stopped changing and 16 entries were left. Over the next week or so, three titles were revealed, one at a time: "The Beginning of the End", "God Given" and "Vessel". By this point, fans were already wildly speculating what would happen next.
On February 12, 2007, ETS user ianmatthews posted a track list he found from Soulseek. [1] Soon after, the remaining 13 titles were revealed on yearzero.nin.com. It is not known whether or not this was intentional or if it was simply a reaction to the track listing leak.
Malechite put together Yzminisiteanimation.gif[2] an animation of the image unfolding using the images saved at Symphony of Noise.
Then some distortion was added to the image, appearing next to the track "My Violent Heart" right before the song leaked, next to the track "Me, I'm Not" around the time that song was leaked and then the distortion appeared next to the track "In This Twilight" shortly before it leaked.
Survivalism Video
Static appeared on "Survivalism", shortly thereafter the "Survivalism" music video was leaked and then released on the Year Zero website.
The image for the video appeared and then changed to halo23_cover.jpg and a PDF of the lyrics to the song appeared.pdf here
Next to appear were links to a trailer.
The trailer released on the Year Zero website contains an image of The Presence.
In the video, the camera quickly glances over a road sign witch reads "I AM TRYING TO BELIEVE". A "glitch" later in the video briefly shows the text "/0024", which quickly led fans to discover the page http://yearzero.nin.com/0024. According to the file name, the image on that page was found to be the cover for the Year Zero album.
The album art appeared on the page and eventually a link to a listen link.
Less than a day after the original Year Zero promo leak occurred, yearzero.nin.com was updated on April 4, 2007, with a listen to year zero link that launches a flash player streaming the entire album. (yearzero.nin.com archived on 2007.04.04 with working flash player.)
fuzz.flv When listening to the album in this player, occasionally the image would flicker and become fuzzy for a few seconds before returning to normal. Disorganized decompiled the flash file and found a file called fuzz.flv containing the various flickering images. So far, one image of a silhouetted figure standing has been found. It appears to look similar to the image of Trent on the Beside You In Time DVD cover. It is also present in the Temporary Internet Files Folder but resembles an zoomed in appearance of 'The Presence' from the Year Zero trailer.
Upon further tinkering with the fuzz.flv image, Several other images have been found. Two of which occur on the black bar banner occurring at the beginning and end of the short video file. They both appear to have lettering and/or a phrase written through the middle of the bar. Also a blue clip of the file showcases a darker human like figure, also could be interpreted as 'The Presence'.
Mr. Brightside Disorganized also found that, upon decompiling the flash file, the words "Mr. Brightside" appear in the track listing. Speculation suggests that this could have possibly been the name of the scrapped bonus track for the Japan release of Year Zero.
Multitrack Files
Multitrack copies of the songs "Survivalism", "The Beginning Of The End", "Vessel", "Me, I'm Not", "Capital G", "God Given" and "My Violent Heart" have been added to the page in Garageband format, and with links to torrents with the songs in raw files to be used in other applications so that fans could remix the song.
AIR Flag
An image of an AIR flag was added to the bottom of the page and linked to Art_Is_Resistance, then a resources link was added.
Year Zero and themed wallpapers have been made available to download in various sizes as zip files.
Resources Link
Parent Page: Yearzero.nin.com
Number: There is no known number for this page
Background Text: There is no known Banned media for this page
Discovery The link to the resources page eventually appeared on the Yearzero.nin.com page
Content The page design contains two columns
A Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D section was added prior to its release and contains information regarding formats, extra wallpapers and a link to remix.nin.com.
Hidden Images
The page uses an imagemap to conceal a great deal of hidden links which, when clicked on, display images presumably from the recording sessions for Year Zero.
There are links to 11 images: 03.jpeg, 07.jpeg, 10.jpeg, 12.jpeg, 14.jpeg, 19.jpeg, 22.jpeg, 25.jpeg, 28.jpeg, 31.jpeg, 39.jpeg.
The following link was found, but is not linked from the main page: albumcover.jpg. It appears to be the same as the image found at http://yearzero.nin.com/0024/.

A thumbscrew with a brass shoe locks each of the 3/4" diameter heads in position. The single-sided bevel pulls the gauge against stock to maintain accuracy while marking – the cutting edge is at the very end of the rod (also useful for transferring depth measurements). The wheel cutters at each end slice rather than tear fibers, scribing cleanly at any point of their circumference, even on cross grain. The 4-1/2" marking gauge fits easily in an apron pocket, and the cutting wheels retract into the gauge faces for safe storage.
Made of stainless steel with hardened steel cutters and brass locking shoes. A fast, accurate direct-transfer tool.

California's music underground has had a certain strain of Gothy Synthpunk running through its veins for over a decade now. In the late Nineties and early Aughts, bands like San Francisco's Phantom Limbs and Subtonix and LA's New Collapse delivered heavy doses of frenetic, trashy and dark Synth-based punk heavily influenced by 70's seminal LA groups like The Screamers and Nervous Gender with liberal dashes of O.G. LA Deathrockers Christian Death, the UK Batcave scene, and a noticeable pull from 90's West Coast Post-Hardcore and Punk. Picking up this torch left dwindling for some years is the LA-based one-man band, BIRTH! AKA Douglas Halbert (also of Industrial noise-purveyors Elephant Skull). BIRTH!'s full-length debut, I Will, is an exemplary addition to the pantheon of California Deathrock and Synthpunk – raw yet compelling anthems soaked in funeral organ and cutting old-school Hardcore vocals.
I Will's opener, "Value," is a classic Deathrock stomper in the vein of Christian Death's "Face" or Subtonix's "Black Nails In My Coffin" with an extra dose of bile. On "Arms Crossed," Halbert simultaneously skewers the apathy of a prospective lover and the affected apathy of punk-show spectators over a filthy Sci-Fi dirge. However, despite the throat-destroying, incendiary vocals, there is a sensitivity and creeping light at the heart of this seemingly vicious animal of a record. "My Home To Keep" is what one might call a "Deathrock power ballad," -- if one can imagine such a thing. Over a downright pretty synth melody, Halbert characterizes childhood traumas following a mother's death, but even with such intense subject matter and the general crestfallen atmosphere, Halbert's lyrics still have a defiantly positive outlook. On "Value" he ends his rant with the line "I'll look inside myself and find a life I can value!" and one can truly believe his insistent tone on "Free of This" when he bellows, "I am free of this!" I Will, indeed, seems to be Halbert's will --his sigil--for a better life.
Halbert brings BIRTH! To LA's Silver Factory Studios tonight (February 28th) for what he promises will be his last LA show for some time. Amoeba Music Hollywood has quantity of BIRTH!'s I Will on CD for the bargain price of $6.98.
