Wayland hosts music extravaganza
PLAINVIEW - Wayland Baptist University has a special treat planned for the music lover in what is being billed as a "Music Extravaganza." The two-night event will feature the best West Texas has to offer in the way of chamber music.
On Tuesday, Jan. 20, the Devienne Trio will perform at 7:30 p.m. in Harral Auditorium. Margaret Redcay, adjunct flute professor at Wayland, Anna Henry, Mark Ackerman and Christina McKinney will host a Music Among Friends concert on Thursday, Jan. 22, at 8 p.m. in the Earl Miller Recital Hall located in the music wing of Harral Auditorium.
Admission to both events is free and open to the public.
"This collection of ensemble musicians is not a typical group that we would find on an average day in Plainview, Texas," said Dr. Ann Stutes, chairperson of the Department of Music at Wayland. "It is exciting to be able to take advantage of the opportunity of them being here."
The Devienne Trio is made up of three Texas Tech University music professors. Flutist Dr. Michael Stoune, bassoonist Richard Meek and pianist Jane Ann Wilson formed the Devienne Trio in 1983, giving its first performance in February of 1984. The trio is named after Francois Devienne who composed "A Favourite Trio Concertante" which was the group's first performance piece.
Since their first faculty recital, the group has performed on artist series at universities, churches and museums; toured the southwest area from Houston to Colorado; and played at the National Flute Association conventions in Chicago and Kansas City, The Music Teachers National Association conference in Spokane, Wash., the International Double Reed Society Conference in Buenos Aires; and appeared twice at the Texas Music Educators Association convention in San Antonio. The trio's recording of Mary Jeanne van Appledorn's Galilean Galaxies has been released by the Contemporary Record Society.
Dr. Stoune is a professor of flute and fine arts at Tech as well as director of graduate studies in the school of music. He performs with many chamber ensembles and serves as piccoloist with the Lubbock Symphony and principal flutist of the Roswell, N.M., Symphony Orchestra.
Meek teaches bassoon and music theory at Tech. He has appeared as soloist for several orchestras and premiered a number of solo works written for him. He is currently the principal bassoonist for the Lubbock, Abilene and Roswell symphony orchestras.
Wilson is an associate professor of music at Tech where she teaches piano and piano pedagogy and is chairperson of the Keyboard Area.
Thursday's performance features Redcay, a retired music professor from Texas Tech University who now spends her time presenting recitals and masters classes as well as teaching flute at Wayland. She also served as principal flute chair for the Lubbock Symphony before retiring from the position.
McKinney graduated from Tech with a degree in piano performance and maintains a distinguished career in freelance performance. She is also the staff accompanist at Lubbock Christian University.
Ackerman has served as the principal oboist for the San Antonio Symphony since 1975. He has performed the concerti of Mozart, Strauss, Belline and Francaix with the symphony.
Henry has been teaching flute for more than 30 years. She received a master's degree in flute performance from Texas Tech where she studied under Redcay and Dr. Stoune. She holds professional memberships in the National Flute Association, the Texas Flute Society, the Houston Flute Club and the Texas Music Educators Association.
"We are thrilled to have both of these chamber music performances on our schedule," Stutes said. "They are highly respected music professionals in the West Texas area and will add depth and quality to our spring lineup of events."

This piece contains lots of spoilers.
I wanted to love this book, I really did. I have enjoyed the couple of Julie Ellis novels I've read, but this one just tipped the charming/not happening scale a bit far. It has a really strong heroine in Vicky, who escapes the Russian pogroms to build a new life in America, trying to negotiate a difficult family situation and life as a prominent businesswoman. But there are lots of issues in this book that really grated, for example, every time a black servant is given an order, Ellis always points out how they were delighted to do it.
I'd just like to focus on the disability issues for now, though. There are many, not least with the disability-as-punishment trope cropping up at the end when the antagonist of the piece, Vicky's son, has a stroke and is paralysed. He's then housed in the cottage in which his mentally ill father shot himself. The very same cottage in which he kept Vicky while pretending she had a mental illness because he didn't like the direction in which his mother was taking the company. Yep, it's a bit of an intense novel.
But what I really want to talk about is the characterisation of Anita Roberts. Anita is married to Mark, a man Vicky falls in love with. So, naturally, she has to be a deceptive, evil shrew because that is the way "the other woman" gets sympathy in romance fiction. Except, she's a wheelchair user, so it gets a lot more… interesting.
At first, Anita is set up as a martyr, the victim of a tragic accident who is doted on by her charming husband. They are a 'special couple,' Vicky is given to understand, and Anita is the darling of their social circle. As it turns out, she's shrewd and conniving. She uses the excuse of the accident to deny her husband sex, even though the doctors said that they could have an 'almost normal sex life'! It turns out that Anita never really wanted sex before the accident either, and now her horrible cruelty of not wanting sex has been unleashed! How terrible! It couldn't possibly be the case that Anita doesn't owe Marc sex, and she has become confident enough in herself to not engage with a sexual life she doesn't really want. No, indeed. It is all about Marc's pain and setting up his affair with Vicky. Anita's not wanting sex gets to be the strange part, gets to be part of her evil scheme against poor Marc.
So, we've got the good crip who turns out to be hiding a deeply bitter and nasty nature. That's old hat. But it was quite something to see that set up with a gendered aspect, too. Anita's out to disparage Marc's achievements and interests constantly, and she forces him to do 'whatever she asks' because otherwise he's a terrible husband to his tragically beautiful and "damaged" wife. I suggest we identify a new trope, the Bad Shrewish Crip. The perfect mix of misogyny and ableism, out now at a bookstore near you.
But I really start to grit my teeth when we bring Anita's Jewishness into it, because she perfectly fits the JAP stereotype. The Jewish American Princess is held to be a nagging, high maintenance woman with expensive taste and no sense of how irritating she is. And Anita is a JAP all over: she pokes fun at Vicky for having been a maid, loves designer clothing, and ends up forcing her husband to move to London as it is the only 'civilised' city on Earth. She's simply set up as the most horrible conglomeration of disability, gender and racial/ethnic/cultural/religion stereotyping I have encountered in quite some time. The Bad Shrewish Jewish Crip, maybe?
So, in short: wanted to like it, feel kind of bad saying this because I like the author, but for goodness' sake, this was one of the more frustrating reads of my year, and that is really saying something.

- Paul Sherman/Daily
By Alicia Adamczyk, Daily Staff Reporter
Published November 13, 2012
The days of Frosty desserts and Mrs. Fields cookie cakes in the Michigan Union may be numbered.
The leases for several businesses in the Union — including Amer's Mediterranean Deli, Subway, Pizza Hut, Wendy's and the multi-restaurant space that includes Mrs. Fields, Freshens smoothies and Auntie Anne's pretzels — will expire in April, creating space for three new businesses in the food court to debut next fall.
The only current vendor that will remain in the Union is Panda Express, which signed a lease that expires in 2018.
University Unions is currently accepting requests for proposals from local and chain restaurants.
The space currently occupied by Amer's on the first floor of the Union will be transformed into a Marketcafé operated by University Unions that will feature MHealthy food and drink options, a deli, coffee and specialty drinks along with other on-the-go options.
Susan Pile, the director of the Michigan Union and the Center for Campus Involvement, said about 40 interested businesses attended a pre-proposal meeting held last week to learn more about the opportunity.
After the Dec. 13 proposal deadline, a committee comprised of students and Union employees will assess the proposals and contact approved businesses in late January to discuss contract negotiations.
Pile said she and the student advisory board have identified four dining concepts — chicken and burgers, a deli/sandwich shop, an international vendor and a "pizza plus," which includes pizza, pasta and breadsticks — that are of particular interest to students and will take priority in the decision process.
"Our goal is really to provide a nice complementary set of options down in the (basement of the Union)," Pile said. "We don't want to have a vendor that's competing directly with another vendor. I think that would actually limit options for students."
Pile also said the seating adjacent to the food vendors in the area near Wendy's and Subway will be renovated. According to her, improvements will be made to seating, lighting, architectural elements and flooring.
"If you go down there now it's pretty dark … it feels a little dated, a little enclosed," Pile said. "We can actually get ... a vaulted ceiling and some lighting that'll be much improved. Maybe some different types of seating ... some counter-top or high-top seating, or a nice long community table."
Laura Seagram, a marketing communications specialist for University Unions, said the expected cost of the renovations is still unknown because design and engineering plans are not finalized. She added that the University's Board of Regents is not required to approve the choice of vendors in the Union, but will be kept informed through E. Royster Harper, the University's vice president for student affairs.
The Union has made healthy eating a priority in the search. Seagram said nutrition standards will play a prominent role in the decision making process.
"Another thing we are asking all of the applicants to bring forth is their healthy options, even an expansion of what they may have now, because that's really important on campus," Seagram said. "The whole point is to have a balance of options."
Keith Soster, the food service director for the University Unions, said student feedback has indicated that the Unions should provide more seasonal selections, which he hopes will come to fruition in the Marketcafé.
"It's more than a coffee shop or a café per se, and we want it to have that market atmosphere," Soster said. "… Envision a deli case with a fresh array of salads fixings and then you can have your salad prepared right there for you. Or you can have a grab-and-go type option."
LSA senior Archana Bharadwaj, the chair of the Michigan Union Board of Representatives, said incorporating more locally grown and nutritional produce into Union food options was a priority for the student board.
"I think these changes will be really reflective of what we, as students, want to see in the Union," Bharadwaj said.
LSA senior Caroline Canning, the vice chair of the Board of Representatives and the president of LSA Student Government, said she and other committee members want to make the Union more unique to the University, and they are excited about the upcoming changes.
"The finishes that we're looking at are things that are more modernized but also a more timeless sort of feeling," Canning said. "If we wanted to renovate more of that downstairs area, we could continue using the tiles and using the same wall fixtures ... to make it look cohesive."
It is unknown whether the food vendors in the Michigan League or the Pierpont Commons will also change. Seagram said the changes are a model for the Division of Student Affairs to potentially follow in the residence halls.
"We're all trying to meet the needs of students as best as we can as the chances present themselves," Seagram said.
Kinesiology junior Alexandra Putich said she never buys food from Union vendors because they aren't particularly accommodating to her nutrition needs.
"I'm gluten free ... so I know they don't serve those options here," Putich said. "If they accommodated those kinds of things I'd be more likely to eat here."
LSA senior Ryan Marina said he eats at the Union about once every two months, but he would be interested and more likely to eat there if ethnic food were available.
"I mainly get the feel that it's fast food down here," Marina said. "Maybe something else would spice it up."

Former French spy decorated in Serbia
September 5, 2013
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia has awarded a top state medal to a former French army officer convicted in his country of treason for alerting Serbs to possible NATO targets ahead of the 1999 bombing of the Balkan state.
President Tomislav Nikolic on Thursday former decorated Army Maj. Pierre Bunel with the "Milos Obilic" medal, awarded for exceptional bravery. Bunel was not there for the occasion.
Bunel, former chief of staff for the French delegation at NATO headquarters in Brussels, was sentenced to five years in jail in France in 2001 for treason.
Milos Obilic was a Serbian knight who killed the Ottoman leader, Sultan Murad I, in the Battle of Kosovo in 1389.

40,000 Americans die bloody deaths every year on the road, more than double the causalities of the worst year of the Vietnam War and nearly triple the annual number killed in what we classify as murder. Some of these deaths are the lone incident of a driver veering off the road, but sometimes others are brought to the grave with them. The biggest killer of our children and all Americans under the age of 30 is the automobile crash. The modern transportation network, one of big metal boxes operated by people who did a few basic tests, is a system entirely of our own construct. So as a civilization we are solely responsible for the consequences of this system.
There is no act of God to blame this problem on. This is not the weather, this is not a hurricane, a tornado, or an earthquake, this is a disaster we have crafted entirely of our own, and rationalize through theories of economics, politics, and media presentation. This not far away news in a third world nation, this is in the world's wealthiest nation. This is not the act of isolated insanity and malicious intent as in the serial killer or murderer with a knife or gun, this is the status quo of a system that accepts frequent deaths of innocent people as collateral damage for getting to work, buying groceries and shopping at the mall. The problem is far beyond the influence of alcohol, 80% of fatal crashes involve sober drivers. Children have died in clearly visible and marked crosswalks on the way to school because of a parent rushing another child to school in their urban sport utility vehicle.
This does not have to be the case. There are other places with a high quality of life and successful economies without nearly as much needless bloodshed simply moving goods, people and services. We must end the worship and singular focus on the self-piloted speeding automobile. Societies with more diversified transportation options, better public transit, better pedestrian access, more bicycle networks, higher standards for driver testing, and slower automobile speeds in city centers, have significantly lower per capita deaths in their daily goings of business, and live healthier and more active lives. These economies are also at less risk for the shocks of world fuel supply, and more capable of moving masses of people during spikes in travel demand thanks to the higher capacity and efficiency of non-automobile systems.
We must not be disheartened by statistics or distracted by the media circus. The biggest threat to our national security is not the outside terrorist, but is from within, our biggest enemy is us, and we can all do something about it. If it is our goal to improve the safety of ourselves, and our future generations, than the eyes of our society should not be on the shoes of passengers at airports, they should be on the streets, giving witness to our daily massacre.

Oh, I certainly do understand. Automobiles are a menace to personal safety, community killers, and the single largest contributor to climate change. Drivers -- even your mom and dad and your best friend and me -- are thugs, if we define thuggishness by the damage we do. But 'merkins will give up their cars only when they no longer can afford gas to fuel them. That day is coming. In the meantime, ride carefully.

Great post.
I often think about how we take 9/11 very seriously compared to collisions. Granted, it was a terrible tragedy where 3,000 people died, but what is that compared to 40,000 dead PER YEAR?
Where's the war on collisions?

text: USDA Report Not as Bearish as Anticipated January 11, 2013 09:16 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Scott Harms, Archer Financial Services Email Final 2012 corn production for 2012 was increased 55 million bushels to 10.780 billion bushels, 154 million bushels above expectations. Harvested acres were cut by only 300,000 acres, while yield was increased to 123.4 bpa. Offsetting the higher production was a net 100-million-bushel increase in demand. Corn for feed use was increased 300 million bushels to 4.450 billion bushels while exports were slashed by 200 million bushels. Corn used in the production of ethanol was left unchanged at 4.50 billion bushels. As a result, overall ending stocks were cut 45 million bushels to 602 million, 65 million bushels below expectations. With today's report, the market's focus is back on the tight supplies and need to ration demand. Dec. 1 stocks at 8.030 billion bushels were 180 million bushels below expectations, and below the range of estimates. The 2012/13 world ending stocks were cut 1.6 mmt to 116 mmt, the tightest in 6 years. The global stocks/use ratio at just over 13% is the tightest in the 30 years of data I have readily available. Corn production in Argentina/Brazil was raised a combined 1.5 mmt. 2012 soybean production was increased 44 million bushels to 3.015 billion bushels, 16 million bushels above expectations. Harvested acres in soybeans were raised 400,000 acres, while yield was increased to 39.6 bpa. Offsetting the higher production was a 39-million-bushel increase in demand. Crush was raised 35 million bushels to 1.605 billion, while the residual was increased by 4 million bushels. Exports were left unchanged at 1.345 billion bushels. Final ending stocks were raised 5 million bushels to 135 million, in line with expectations. Dec. 1 stocks at 1.966 billion bushels were nearly 20 million bushels below expectations. World ending stocks were cut by .5 mmt to 59.5 mmt. Argentine soybean production was cut by 1 mmt, while Brazilian soybean production was increased by 1.5 mmt. 2013 winter wheat seedings at 41.8 million acres were 500,000 acres above YA, however nearly 1 million acres below expectations. HRW wheat acres at 29.1 million were 1.2 million below expectations, while SRW wheat acres at 9.4 million were roughly 500,000 above expectations. Dec. 1 stocks at 1.660 billion bushels were slightly below expectations. The 2012/13 US wheat ending stocks were cut by 38 million bushels to 716 million, roughly 25 million bushels below expectations. Feed usage was raised by 35 million bushels to 350 million, the highest in 14 years. World ending stocks were left virtually unchanged at 176.6 mmt. Today's numbers seem most supportive for corn, as the need to ration demand of last year's crop continues. This rationing process does appear a bit easier with a mammoth South American harvest about two months away. Stay tuned on their weather here forward. Soybeans are a bit disappointing as today's report didn't appear as bearish as the market feared going in. One would have expected a bit more of a price rebound. The market may be anticipating further production increases for the South American crops. While today's wheat numbers were a bit supportive, $.30 higher seemed like a stretch. It appears the market was bracing for a bearish report and had an initial surge up when it didn't materialize. Dry conditions in the Southern Plains will still be a concern for KC HRW wheat.

We started the day early by waking up at 5:40 a.m. to go the airport to fly to Tobago. After going through the shortest security ever, we made the long 20 minute flight to Tobago where we wasted no time by walking straight to the beach from the airport.
Everyone was pretty tired so most of us slept on the beach while a few went into the clear water. Then we ate some delicious fish sandwiches (flying fish bake) before going on a double decker glass bottom boat to the Buccoo Reef. The water paired with the tropical island made for a beautiful scene. Once at the reef we snorkeled and saw all the beautiful coral and colorful fish in the reef.
Josh Russell missed out and stayed in the boat because he wouldn't swim. We then proceeded to the Nylon pool. Meanwhile there was two periods of like 15 minutes where it would rain (typical Trinidad and Tobago weather). The nylon pool was a lot of fun because we could get out of the boat into 3 feet of water at a sand bar with sand that was soothing for the skin.
We rubbed it all over ourselves and each other and had smooth skin. We had chicken fights without using our hands, which was a fun time and good bonding experience. After this, the boat made its last stop at a deserted island where we tried but failed to get coconuts.
Eventually we made our way back to the main beach where we were picked up. All of us were hungry so we ate some local crab and dumplings. The crab was too much work so I gave up and just ate the dumpling then bought snacks and ice cream.
Next we did some shopping at some local shops and bought trinkets. However, Josh Kolbo and I had the right idea by going to a fruit stand and buying some delicious fresh papaya. By the time we got back everyone was either sitting around zoned out or sleeping because they were so tired and sunburnt.
Soon after we all walked along a road to a different spot where Scout Monteith was baptized by Klotzy in the ocean. This experience was awesome because this marks a new beginning in Scout's life and you could not ask for a more perfect setting than God setting the sun below the edge of the ocean. After prayer and hugs we just took in the beautiful sky and all of Tobago.
Next, we got pizza for dinner in a Church's Chicken store which was odd yet the pizza was good. Tired from the sun and the whole day we walked to the airport and left the beautiful Tobago. All in all Tobago was awesome and one of the most beautiful places I've seen. What was especially cool was having Bobby, a guy who works for Anton and lives in a shack, fly on his first plane and come with us to Tobago. This day was also good because Charles didn't make us play on this day even though we were supposed to.

What a lovely hat. In fact I can see several in the book I would like to make. Just this past weekend I decided that hats are the perfect project for me - someone always needs a hat, they are quick, and there is only 1 so no fear of not finishing the pair like in socks and mitts!

Looks really cute on you! I love it!

I love the simple elegance of this design, Susan! The pleating reminds me of some of the innovative techniques that Lynne Barr often invents. The hat would look stunning along with her pleated scarf from Knitting New Scarves if anyone is brave enough to work with that many dpns in an unconventional setup.

Deeply mired in a controversy over a new mandate for the provision of contraception services, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nevertheless remain partners in social services involving millions of dollars in federal funding and over the past year or so on one court docket in Massachusetts. On March 23 a U.S. District Court decision there added another layer of complexity to the ongoing dispute over religious liberty between the Obama administration and U.S. bishops.
Judge Richard Stearns ruled that the terms of a Department of Health and Human Services contract with the U.S. bishops' Office of Migration and Refugee Services, as the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts charged, indeed constituted a violation of the First Amendment's establishment clause. Stevens decided a religious accommodation accepted by H.H.S. and written into the contract with M.R.S. allowed the bishops' agency to impose a religiously based restriction on the disbursement of taxpayer-funded services. That accommodation permitted M.R.S. to prohibit its social service subcontractors from providing abortion or contraception counseling or services to trafficking victims.
Calling the ruling "a disappointment," Mary Ann Walsh, R.S.M., director of media relations for the bishops' conference, said, "The decision seems to ignore the right of free expression of one's religious beliefs." She added, "It's very likely that we would appeal." She said the conference's general counsel was reviewing the decision.
The Massachusetts A.C.L.U. had sued H.H.S. to contest the five-year contract for services for human trafficking victims awarded to M.R.S. The office had been hired as a national general contractor for social services for women escaping human trafficking. The office was not selected for a renewal of that service last year, launching one of the U.S.C.C.B.'s ongoing conflicts over religious liberty with the Obama administration.
According to court documents, M.R.S. entered into subcontracts with over 100 service providers nationally; each contract included the restriction on abortion or birth control counseling. The Massachusetts A.C.L.U. argued that the government "would appear to have endorsed a Catholic belief" and impermissibly delegated discretion to the U.S. bishops.
Judge Richard G. Stearns agreed. He wrote, "Here…the restriction on the use of [federal] funds for abortion services and contraceptive materials is not a subject of truly voluntary parti-cipation; subcontracting organizations and trafficking victims cannot 'opt out' of the restriction without shouldering the financial burden of doing so.
"The government defendants' delegation of authority to the U.S.C.C.B. to exclude certain services from government funding 'provides a significant symbolic benefit to religion,' in violation of the Establishment Clause," he added.
"To insist that the government respect the separation of church and state is not to discriminate against religion; indeed, it promotes a respect for religion by refusing to single out any creed for official favor at the expense of all others," the judge said.
Stevens added a final observation: "This case is not about government forcing a religious institution to act contrary to its most fundamental beliefs. No one is arguing that the U.S.C.C.B. can be mandated by government to provide abortion or contraceptive services or be discriminated against for its refusal to do so. Rather, this case is about the limits of the government's ability to delegate to a religious institution the right to use taxpayer money to impose its beliefs on others (who may or may not share them)."

Balanced attack lifts Belding over Vestaburg
It was Belding's night, from start to finish.
The Redskins were way too much for the Vestaburg Wolverines in a 61-21 non-conference girls basketball victory Wednesday night.
Belding's fast break and pressure defense put the Redskins in command right from the opening tipoff.
McKenzie Breimayer led a balanced Belding attack with 15 points to go along with seven steals, four assists and a blocked shot. She was followed by Stefanie Harig, who finished with 12 points.
Haylee Batzer finished with 11 points, six rebounds, four steals and two assists.
The Redskins improved to 3-2.
"I thought we played very well," said Redskin coach Brad Wilson. "It was nice to see everyone get involved and get in the game. It was a team effort."
Belding got scoring from all 10 of its players in the first quarter in compiling a 21-3 lead.
Peyton Mount and Katie Wood both had 3-pointers for the Redskins. Belding had a 13-0 lead before Micki Drumm scored Vestaburg's first basket with 3:17 left in the first quarter.
Breimayer had a strong second quarter with nine points and drove for a pair early in the period for a 29-3 lead.
"When you get a lead, like that, it's tough to stay up (emotionally) sometimes," Wilson said. "But we got better. Our press was good at the beginning of the game."
The Redskins were up 34-9 at halftime.
Katie Wood had a 3-point play for the Redskins early in the third quarter for a 29-3 lead. It was 42-13, Redskins going into the fourth.
"Today was all about getting everyone involved and seeing what we could do," Wilson said. "Haylee Batzer made some nice passes and had some nice steals. She plays so hard. She is a lot of fun to watch."
Harig opened the fourth quarter for Belding with a 3-point basket to give her team a 44-13 advantage.
"Tonight we wanted to practice working on our plays, working on our offense, plus defense and put everything together," said Mount, a freshman. "It was important to get our confidence up and finish strong."
Breimayer scored 15 points, but she has even more potential, Wilson indicated.
"She is so quick and is a good ball handler," Wilson said. "She's a gym rat. It's enjoyable to watch her develop as a player. One thing you'll get from her is 100 percent.
"Tonight, she struggled a little bit. She scored 15 points but if she hits some layups, she could have made 30 points. She has great moves to the basket and is playing well."
Micki Drumm led Vestaburg (0-5) with nine points.
"We knew they would try to run on us and they did a really good job," said Vestaburg coach Gary Keyes. "They wanted to get out, up tempo and we didn't want to. They won that battle."
Belding plays next Tuesday at Lakewood.

For those of us lucky enough to be able to take a decent amount of time off over the summer, there is nothing quite like relaxing at the cottage. Taking an extended vacation means we likely will have brought a fair amount of our belongings with us. Home contents insurance from your principal residence will cover some, but not all, of your possessions while at the cottage.
"As a basic principal, usually your contents, when temporarily away from your home, may be covered while you are occupying your cottage," says Henry Blumenthal, vice-president and chief underwriter with TD Insurance. "But it often comes with a limit - maybe 10 to 20% of your contents from your main residence."
Mr. Blumenthal says the word "temporary" is key. If you leave such items as furniture or bikes at the cottage on a permanent basis, these will not be insured by your principal residence policy.
"There is typically a part in the contract of a standard homeowner policy that excludes items that are permanently removed from that location," says Tony Irwin, spokesperson for Allstate Insurance Co. of Canada. "Clothing that you were taking back and forth from the cottage would be covered under your standard home owner policy but items at the cottage on a permanent basis would not be. Because of that, you would need a separate policy."
Mr. Blumenthal says there is a wide variety of insurance products for seasonal properties. While prices may be similar, he says, coverage for when you are at the cottage, as well as for the off-season, may vary significantly.
"Insurance is very similar to purchasing art - it's got a different value to everyone. Depending on your risk appetite, you may want to opt for a smaller coverage or a larger coverage to make sure you've got that peace of mind," Mr. Blumenthal says. "Typically a seasonal dwelling is usually more exposed to losses such as vandalism, weight of ice and snow or wind damage. It's what we consider in the insurance industry a non-protected area. If there's a fire, if you require 50 volunteers to go out and work on that fire, it's probably too late."
While you are unlikely to take the family antiques to the cottage, you may still have some fairly valuable items. "If you have a small rowboat, it may well be [covered] but if you have a boat used for water skiing, jet skis and other expensive toys, those typically would not be covered," Mr. Irwin says. "If it is motorized, it typically needs separate coverage."
When you pick up the phone to arrange the cottage insurance coverage, Mr. Blumenthal says, this is a good time to check the coverage for the property you are leaving behind for the summer.
"There are some policies [where] unoccupied premises ... may be an exclusion," Mr. Blumenthal explains. "You want to [ask], 'Am I at risk if something happens?' We don't consider 'unoccupied' as being a policy exclusion. A home that is vacant [where you have no intention to return] is an exclusion from most policies."
Mr. Irwin recommends checking your individual policy to make sure you have peace of mind at the cottage.

Mikono and Zessica also have reversed hair/eye colour combination.
This is also in consideration of the fact that the ED blatantly reveals certain things about Zessica.

i have to agree. i think the the abductor world is the one from the series while the world with amata could be OVAs. Perhaps in that world silvia and apollo did have descendants. however the first episode shows the movie of the series not the OVA.
i hope both the red head guys get the girl. i am rooting for zessiccaxkagura, cause i think zessicca can handle kagura better than mikono can and amataxmikono pairing.

I have a question, does Amata use Solar Aquarion in this episode. I have to run out so I can't watch it till I come back but I can check this thread before I come home. If he does use it, is Mikono in it?
I ask this because, I wasn't going to say this until I can actually sit down and do a lengthy explainaition but.... Solar Aquarion is the one that Apollo was the "head" and the one that has Apollonious' soul in it. The times Solar Aquarion was used. it failed unless the union had both Apollo and Sylvia. You need the power of an angel to awaken Solar Aquarion..most of the times Solar Aquarion was victorious Sylvia and Apollo had to be in the vectors. Even if one wasn't a pilot, they contrived ways to get them both in the vectors. Otherwise they used Aquarion Lunar or Aquarion Mars with someone else as the head, to save the day
*edit* Sousei Gattai is a command that is only known by Apollo (and Sylvia because she was a part of the union when Apollo awakened it) That awakens Aquarion. In the original they only knew of "Nenshin Gattai" the command that was used for Aquarion Lunar and/or Aquarion Mars. Solar Aquarion was the awakened form. Apollo called out to it but he wasn't an angel and Sylvia was also in the vector when he awakened it. The end of the series and OVA Touma and Apollo say that you need the power of a "shadow angel" to fully use Aquarion
Amata has wings on his feet and he can levitate. Sylvia had wings on her arms and Sylvia had Psychokinetic powers and could levitate things.
Apollo was a HUMAN. Apolloionus without his wings was still an angel. Sylvia being a descendant of Apollionius and Ceiliane had FEATHERS because she was not fully human
In the end of the OVA and Series both Celiane and Apollo were needed to save the world. In the ova the remade the UNIVERSE. So everything began from Sylvia and Apollo not Ceiliane and Apollionous and that's why I believe EVOL has the statue of Apollo and Syliva unlike the original series because they created parallel dimensions and I didn't get a chance to finish my replies to you because LIFE called...Apollionus started out a BAD GUY he changed when he fell in love. He also calls her smelly and stinking just like Apollo used to say about Sylvia and this is extreme yaoi bait but who said he was smelling only Mikono and Amata could be his uke (I like yaoi )
Anyhoo I have to go but suffice it to say, I think that this is an alternate retelling of Ceilaine and Apolionus and how they met and fell in loved and he was changed--but is shown with Sylvia and Apollo and their incarnations because those two are fated
Apollo was Human and Sylvia wasn't fully human. I think Amata can awaken Aquarion because he's a descendant of the a Shadow Angel but he's not the reincarnation of Apollo, Kagura is
Gong to say nearly the same later but with screenshots unless the subs of episode 3 makes me change my mind about some things
This is a theory of mine and not what I consider truth...I am just speculating

Also that's an assumption and although it's a logical one it's still an assumption. He could have meant exactly that or it could have a deeper meaning.
I just find it odd that you don't see Apollo or Apollionious when he's in Aquarion. You just see "wings" something most angels and human-angel hybrids have you see the "feathers" but you saw feathers when Sylvia used her powers. Most of the time they were a light color and Apollo's were ORANGE dark Orange most of the times.
The Solar Wing is Aquarion and Apollionus could fly like all angels could. but Apollo was different because he was FULLY human. Apollo's element powers had nothing to do with "gravity" only Sylvia. Sylvia also possessed some powers of shadow angels. Apollo did not because he only had part of the soul. His powers were strength and agility and his "beast like nature" The rest was inside of Aquarion. Also Apollionus was once the Angel of Slaughter and Toma's right hand man..
Edit: Something Kagura seems to be to Mikage
So it looks familiar although part of it is because I want to get rid of Amata and replace him with Kagura so a lot of my opinion could be because of that, so I am looking for signs that this is indeed true but I also really think that the OVA has a lot to do with it. Given the way Kawamori views "Canon" it's possible that's all

The power he suppressed with those boots were in his FEET. Not on his back. The same way the armbands kept Sirius's and Sylvia's feathers on their WRISTS hidden

Somebody on another forum brought up the character Andy, and I realized something quite interesting, so I'll copy+paste what I replied to him:
I'm calling it now; Andy and Mix will be a couple. It's actually the perfect pairing; she's a strict man-hater with a lot of pride who gets on peoples' cases, and Andy is the light-hearted, easy-to-get-along-with guy who's determined to hit on the girls. Opposites attract as they say, and this would make a great opposites relationship.

In this post we will look at how small nanometres really are, as well as posting some interesting facts.
What is small?
The word nano originates from the Greek word for dwarf, but today, the term nano more commonly refers to anything that is 'incrediblly small' or to be precise - one billionth (10-9) times smaller than a metre.
To put this into perspective the smallest object visible to the naked human eye is a single strand of human hair, anything smaller than that and we need the help of microscopes to see them. And even more sophisticated and expensive microscopes are required before building blocks such as hydrogen atoms become visible. In fact, you would need to line up 10 hydrogen atoms in a row just to equal one nanometre!
Powers of Ten:
To measure size, either large or small, the calculations required to do so are done in powers of ten, as you can see below:
To get our heads around this subject in a more understandable way, in 1997 a video was produced which takes the viewer on a journey of magintudes. Called Powers of Ten, the video is still very influential today. Every 10 seconds the viewing point starts from ten times further away, eventually reaching the edge of the known galaxy. At this point we then return to Earth at the same speed, ending inside one of the smallest objects visible; a carbon atom. It is a great representation of scale in comparasion to our own size as human beings and you can watch it below:
More recently, a modern version of this video has been produced narrated by Morgan Freeman which you can see here:
Some interesting facts:
We have all heard of red blood cells and DNA, but have you ever wondered how small they actually are? Below are some of these objects and their relative size:
- Grain of Rice = 1 Millimeter
- Red Blood Cell = 5-7 Microns in length (5000 Red blood cells would fit into 1 inch)
- DNA = 1 Micron
- Common Cold Virus = 0.0001 Micron or 75-100nm wide
So as you can see, when we talk about the nanoscale, we are working in incredibly small dimensions.
P2i's nano-coating technology:
It is amazing to know that so much activity is going on, on scales of size that are sometimes hard to comprehend.
Our coating, which is measured in nanometers is molecularly bonded to products surfaces inside and out, offering superior liquid repellency. As mentioned earlier, the coating is 1000 times thinner than a human hair and invisible to the naked eye, in fact it is so small that it does not change the look or feel of the surface it is applied to.
You can find out more about our technology here as well as seeing how it is applied in the following video:
As always, if you have any questions about nanotechnology or our coating, just ask.

The highest of highs, meet the lowest of lows.
From an inspiring victory to a most improbable and inexplicable defeat.
The 17th-ranked Fort Lewis College mens basketball team hung for a few seconds at the top of the emotional rollercoaster Friday after beating No. 1 Metro State. But the Skyhawks crashed Saturday, as Regis took the air out of Whalen Gymnasium and out of FLC with an 80-77 upset of the Skyhawks.
Its the old Wide World of Sports (tagline), the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, FLC head coach Bob Hofman said. It definitely stings, but you have to move on and learn from it.
Down the stretch, the Rangers (8-15, 7-13 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) seemed to have an answer for every FLC rally attempt, holding the Skyhawks at arms length until Fort Lewis finally broke through, using a 7-0 run to tie the score at 74 with 1 minute, 30 seconds to play in regulation.
But Dylan King, who scored 20 points, connected on a four-point play with 56 seconds to go, draining a 3-pointer as he was fouled by FLCs Jared Smith, and he buried the free throw to put Regis up 78-74.
Alex Herrera, who led all scorers by using a noticeable size advantage to score a career-high 26 points, had a dunk to cut the lead to 78-76, then had a rare steal near midcourt and was fouled from behind on the fast break with 9.2 seconds remaining, one the FLC bench thought shouldve been called an intentional foul but wasnt. He made just one of two free throw attempts.
Yes, I did (think it was intentional) because he played it from behind, and I thought thats a pretty automatic call, Hofman said. But thats the judgment, and you have to live with it.
Kevin Marshall capped his 20-point effort with two free throws with 7.7 seconds to go, and FLCs Marcus Ayala missed a potential game-tying 3 in the waning seconds as the Rangers sealed an unlikely road upset.
Regis did what Metro State couldnt by repeatedly getting into the paint. As a result, they hit 24 of 30 free throw attempts to just 8 of 12 for FLC (18-5, 15-5 RMAC). The penetration drew Herrera, a shot blocker, away from the rim, allowing them offensive rebound opportunities.
I thought mainly it was Alex would come over to help because they were able to penetrate, and when Alex came over to help, it opened up a hole on the weak side, and we didnt cover down as well as we need to, Hofman said.
FLC played without Nick Tomsick, who battled a flu bug earlier in the week.
Regis, which Hofman said was stuck on Wolf Creek Pass and didnt get in until 7 a.m. Saturday, shot 48 percent from the field and hit 8 of 15 3s.
Give them credit. They made huge shots after running the shot clock down under 10, Hofman said.
We didnt shoot a lot of free throws, but thats part of the game.

Just what the heck do you consider "high volume"?
Unless Japanese watch more American show than Japanese, you consider it unpopular?
That's rather extreme.
"Americans eat more hamburgers than Chinese food. Therefore, Chinese food is unpopular in America"
Now, see how silly a statement that is?
Of-freakin-course we watch mostly Japanese shows.
But that doesn't change the fact that American shows are very well known and popular in Japan.
And for your information, Korean TV dramas are insanly popular too, especially among housewives.
Since it's less than 1% of what's on the TV (obviously, since JAPANESE shows are majority) you consider that a false statement too?
Heck, ANIME isn't a majority on TV. Neither is Sports, News, etc. No single genre is a majority. Duh.
Overseas Drama shows and movies are just as "high volume" syndication as any other genre, including, yes, anime.
If I told you that people watch just as much oversea TV shows as anime in Japan do you still consider it to be unpopular?
I guess unless every single American show airs in Japan, or Japanese watch more American shows than Japanese, you consider it unpopular.

Therefore, with your logic we can conclude that there are NO popular programs in Japan, in any form, period.

Google is your friend but yes, its considered one of the (if not the) topline universities.
It is one of the toughest to get into.
Keep in mind that once one passes through the Gates of a japanese university, the next four years are actually kind of fluffy if you have any social skills and get along with your professors.

I know that it's hard to get into and a top uni, but i want to know of its prestige and how its graduates are regarded.
Like in America... People who graduate from Harvard, Princeton, or Yale are looked upon in much different light than other people, sometimes better and sometimes worse.
Is a Toudai grad given that kind of status in Japan?
Know that i'm not saying that Harvard, Princeton, and Yale are the best schools in the United States, just the most prestigious. There are tons of less well-known schools throughout the country that may provide better education than any of the Ivies, but they just don't have the same prestige so graduates aren't given the same status.

Since it's the top school in Japan, any employer will hire the graduates. They are respected by people because of how difficult it is to get into the school... so to answer your question, they are looked upon with different light - a very positive light. (Unlike in America, people aren't hated for being uber intelligent or working hard in Japan.)

Hate to say this but Todai or any other Japanese Uni for that matter is not about intellectualism and/or intelligent it is more about how much you memorize and how good you are with quiz that has trick questions.
That is neither intellectualism or intelligent.
My PC hooked up to the internet will do better.
Is Todai a prestigious school?
Of course, 80~95% of the high ranking national bureaucrat are from Todai but then have ever heard of bureacrats being intelligent?
Consider it a rant but I think this nation's education system is going down the drain.

Aye, but that's a problem with the whole japanese system -- its focus on being able to regurgitate data rather than process, integrate, and evaluate data. American schools have that problem to some extent but there are usually pathways for the critical thinker skills to survive. Japan's schools don't tend to encourage independent thinking as much though I'll repeat that American schools are quite mixed in that regard as well.
There are a number of really respected engineering and science schools in Japan as well. Todai simply puts out more graduates that tend to end up in management or political positions.
I understand that Japan is starting to reverse course on some of their "slackarama" changes that were experimented with over the last 10 or 15 years -- I find it amusing that the Japanese system which is considered more rigid than the US systems seems to be able to change course more quickly (while we continue to muddle in our "touchy-feely-everything-you-do-is-wonderful" educational malaise for over 25 years...)

In grade school I understand but as you go higher into education you need to teach in how to process data into "Information" not spit out answers to a quiz.
Unfortunately most of the education criteria are drafted by bureacrats who has the least idea on what creative thinking is so I guess it is not going to change.
You know what's the worst thing that possibly be with a bunch of said to be smart Japanese guys is?
Have them sit into a brain storming session to come up with something new.
Urgh, I can't stand it any longer.

At least it's better than having to sit with an American adult from south who can't even do simplest percentages in his head, think Indian and Arabs are the same people, cries "terrorist!" when he sees Tunak Tunak music video, and don't even know that China, Japan, and Korea are all diffrent countries with diffrent forms of governments.
That being said, I completely agree that top universities in US are miles better than those in Japan.
The problem is, the educational level of the rest of the population often tends to be disastrous.
Japanese education tends to pump out tons of decently educated "mold" citizen, instead of focusing on the few and the bright.
As for America... I think the stereotype joke you hear all the time " There are only two types of people in US. Idiots and geniuses." speaks for itself.

EDIT: ZOMG double post... first time I've done that. o_O
I think, if it was possible to get the best of the both worlds, it would be the ideal form of education.
Japanese style of education for the masses, and selectively honing indivisual skills and knowledge in the top universities for the few elites.
Of course, ideal solution isn't always realistic.

Thirty years ago the Lipscomb Bisons baseball team lost in the NAIA Area 5 Tournament in Birmingham, Ala., apparently ending their season.
But Grand Canyon College, set to go to the NAIA World Series which was scheduled for a then brand new Greer Stadium here in Nashville, celebrated their region win with champagne prompting the president of the school to cancel their bid.
The NAIA Tournament committee granted the Bisons an at-large berth and a second chance. The team, known as the "Miracle" Bisons, took full advantage of that second chance and won the 1979 NAIA National Championship.
Friday night several members of the team returned to the Lipscomb campus where they were presented rings commemorating that title. They also received Lipscomb hats and blue road jerseys which were exact replicas of the ones they wore in 1979.
Team members were to be presented Friday night before the start of a game with Belmont at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium. They were to throw out the first ball as well. But the rainy and stormy weather canceled the game.
Members of the team and their families still enjoyed a reception and also had the opportunity to meet the members of the Lipscomb Board of Directors.
Jonathan Seamon, who was the radio voice for the team and also served as athletic director at Lipscomb, called the ring ceremony a chance to properly close the book on what the team had accomplished.
Most of the players present took the opportunity to publicly speak about the season, the team members and the coaching staff. Many were choked with emotions as they recalled the time.

Tips on Mounting Outdoor Cameras:
- Shelter - Make sure the potential camera location is sheltered from the elements. You don't want the camera or its cable connection to be exposed to rain or snow, for example. Security cameras come with different waterproofness ratings and temperature ratings. Your camera must be able to withstand all the varied weather conditions it will face at the location you've chosen. If you can't find a sheltered location for an outdoor camera, it is best to get a housing for it that has a heating and cooling fan (see "Resource"). Even weatherproof cameras are limited in the amount of time they can be exposed to rain and snow
- Cabling/Wireless - Depending on how far away the camera is in relation to the recording device, you may need higher-quality cabling. Check the distance ratings on the cable, the recorder and the camera. Keep the camera near a power outlet. And when plugging the camera in, use a surge protector to protect the entire system from electrical damage. New-generation wireless cameras are one way to avoid cabling issues. However, they have their own distance issues, and the wireless transmission may be subject to outside interference. Check the system specifications against any possible outside interference before investing in a wireless system.
- Lighting - In addition to having adequate lighting, mount the camera in a way in which light sources don't compromise the picture. For instance, a bright light that shines toward the camera will wash out almost all of the recording. Reflections from glass will compromise the image, as will placing the camera in a shaded area pointed toward a bright area. Before installing mounting hardware in the wall, look through the camera at the location to make sure it will function well under the given lighting conditions
- Traffic Areas - Mount the camera in high-traffic locations where it will record a majority of the people coming into and out of your building or home. The camera's effectiveness will be nil if it doesn't record people coming into the building. If possible, mount the camera high off the ground so it is out of reach of intruders. You want to make it difficult for potential thieves to disable the system. However, don't mount it so high that the angle prevents the camera from recording people's faces.
- Accessories - A sunshade for the camera can increase its effectiveness in challenging lighting conditions. These shades are typically metal and attach to the top of the camera. They also offer an additional amount of weatherproofness. Mounting brackets are made of plastic and metal. The metal brackets can support heavier cameras; each bracket will have a weight rating for how heavy a camera it can support
Package Included:
- 1 x Mounting Bracket
