2nd and Charles — a reseller of CDs, books, movies, video games, consoles and comic books — is filling the former Borders bookstore location at FlatIron Crossing in Broomfield, officials announced Tuesday.
The reseller, which is slated to open May 30 in the 25,000-square-foot space in the mall's open-air Village, was one of four new tenants announced Tuesday.
Also opening between now and August are clothing stores White House Black Market, PINK by Victoria's Secret and The Limited.
White House Black Market's FlatIron location is scheduled to open its doors on Thursday. The college-focused PINK and women's clothier The Limited are scheduled to open in August, mall officials said in the announcement.
Borders Group Inc. went bankrupt in 2011 and shuttered its 600-plus stores, including its stores in Boulder, Longmont and Broomfield.
The 2nd & Charles location in Broomfield will be the first Colorado store for the division of Birmingham, Ala.-based Books-A-Million and its arrival comes as FlatIron is overhauling the open-air portion of its shopping mall.
The changes include the razing of some buildings to add 250 parking spaces and building an east-west road connecting the parking lots on the opposite ends of the Village, said Heather Drake, FlatIron's senior manager of marketing. Separately, anchor AMC theater is undergoing a renovation that includes new recliners in its theaters and a MacGuffins Bar & Lounge in the lobby.
Those projects are expected to be completed in June, Drake said.
"We anticipate that sometime in the future, these newly constructed parking fields will be home to new, market-driven development," Drake said in an e-mail to the Camera.
When FlatIron opened in 2001, it was among a couple of "hybrid centers" that had open-air streetscape areas adjoining an enclosed shopping center. The open-air Village, however, suffered from delayed openings, changing market tastes and expansive soils that caused structural damage to the buildings.
FlatIron announced plans in 2008 to redevelop the Village, reconfiguring traffic flow, adding more dining options and building a 140-room hotel.
Citing the effects of the Great Recession, officials shelved those plans.

Now I am sure this has been posted somewhere on here, I tried to look for it to make sure I was not being redundant. I couldn't find so here it is. The boys over at KJR played this out today which really in my opinion is ultimate gold when it comes to hating Jimmy H.

Last summer, the CCMS Project Team reviewed all of the comments, questions and suggestions they received from end users of the system. The feedback was grouped into three categories: 1) Pre-Pilot; 2) Maintenance; and 3) Post-Maintenance.
During the month of January, Deloitte completed its deployment of 20 pre-pilot enhancements to the CCMS. On January 31 and February 1, several end users logged into the UAT environment to review the changes. Some of the comments were:
Beginning this month, agency staff can use their training IDs and passwords to log into the training environment to resume training activities. Much like our beloved Child Care Tracking System, the CCMS will continue to evolve over time to meet the needs of its end users. The CCMS Project team will continue to receive, review, and prioritize comments, concerns, and suggestions throughout the life of this system. As enhancements are introduced, appropriate CCMS Job Aids and Wizards will be edited and posted to the web.
May: User Acceptance Testing
June: Pilot and state-wide implementation
CCMS agencies are in the midst of preparation for go-live. Each agency should have conducted internal evaluations to confirm readiness for system go-live. By now, each agency should know:
Prior to go-live, ensure that all hardware, software, and interfacing passes testing for any networking, connectivity or compatibility issues. Remember, the CCMS will only access IPACS via web3270.
Just a reminder that all requests to the CCAP Help Desk e-mail must be made by one of your agency's CCAP Local Experts. If all the local experts are out of the office, another staff person may submit a request by indicating the local experts are out and "cc"ing their local experts. CCAP Help Desk staff will then reply back to all.
Each agency POC should have received a copy of their security routing spreadsheet. Please update and return that spreadsheet to us on/before Friday, February 15. The CCMS Project Team will use this spreadsheet to confirm, or create usernames and passwords. End users will be given instructions to complete at least one password change prior to go-live. Users will be given tips on how to establish alerts or reminders to update passwords.
This month, Loretta Davis will begin contacting each CCMS agency to review their routing rules.
We will begin testing our scanning functionality outside the state network next week. Shortly thereafter, we will complete instruction manuals in anticipation of our Scanning & Document Management Workshop.
Effective February 1, all CCMS system features are operational in the CCMS training environment. During the months of February, March, and April, Content Manager will be available Monday through Friday. TTTs are expected to conduct at least two on-site training sessions prior to system go-live. If you have not done so, please submit your training schedules to us. The BCCD Training Team will be emailing updates, passwords, and additional instructions to each TTT soon.
Thanks to everyone who completed a TTT survey. The surveys were extremely helpful. Based on your feedback, we've made some changes to our upcoming workshops.
End users are encouraged to log into the CCMS training website to review these updates in the context of processing Work Items and Tasks. Please e-mail errors, questions or concerns to email@example.com.

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to receive a reply from Julie Walters, and I was even more thrilled that she chose the queen of cakes, a Victoria sponge.
Julie Walters – a bona fide National Treasure – needs no introduction from me. If you need any reminder of her work she is (depending on your age, geographic location etc):
Mrs Overall in Acorn Antiques (I can still never say the word "macaroons" without turning it into a Mrs O impression);
Pauline Mole aka Adrian Mole's mum;
Rita in Educating Rita (one of my all time favourite films);
Ron Weasley's mum in the Harry Potter films;
Annie, one of the naughty WI ladies in Calendar Girls (I can't advocate using cakes that way!);
Billy Elliot's dance teacher in…er…Billy Elliot;
Rosie in Mamma Mia.
A classic victoria sponge has two key elements. Firstly, the weight of the ingredients is determined by the weight of the eggs in their shells. Secondly, it must be sandwiched only with jam – no cream or buttercream. It was with the second point that I hit a snag; when I told Mr CC I was making a classic victoria sponge thus could only use jam he said quietly, in a wounded puppy kind of way, "but I like buttercream". To cut a long story short (if it isn't already too late) – my classic victoria sponge now has added buttercream. I know this means it can't be deemed a classic victoria sponge…so feel free to omit it if you're more of a purist than me.
It did feel weird weighing the eggs in their shells and then using this measurement for all the other ingredients, but if it's good enough for Mrs Beeton it's good enough for me!
The sponge was different to the more modern sponge recipes with prescribed quantities; it was richer, more buttery, yellower and had a moist rather than crumbly texture.
Here's my top tip for transporting a sandwich cake; I have found that – in transit – the top layer can slide off the buttercream filling making a bit of a mess. By wrapping the cake in a collar of baking paper it holds everything in place. I think I might start wearing a collar of baking paper...
My nephew, The Boy Wonder, has a lovely dog called Monty. He's in late puppyhood and is about to celebrate his first birthday. We offered him some sponge (the first cake he's ever had) to see what he thought; here he is inspecting it...
...before deciding that it really was pretty tasty stuff:
Finally, if you want to see a masterclass in comic timing from Julie Walters then please watch this classic sketch from "Victoria Wood as Seen on TV". It has entered our family language as a description of when it's difficult to walk i.e. "my back was so sore and stiff I was walking like Two Soups." Click here to see the "Two Soups sketch".
For the sponge:
4 eggs
Unsalted butter, at room temperature
Caster sugar
Self-raising flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
A little milk, if necessary
For the buttercream, if using:
75g unsalted butter, at room temperature
150g icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To assemble the cake:
Raspberry jam
Icing sugar or caster sugar, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan oven 160˚C/350˚F/gas mark 4.
Line two 20cm sandwich cake tins with baking paper; just to be sure, I line the base and sides of the tin.
Weigh the eggs in their shells – this will tell you the weight for the butter, sugar and flour. Mine weighed 267 grams.
Whatever the weight of your eggs (in their shells) weigh out the same amount of butter, sugar and flour.
Beat the butter until it is light and whippy, then beat in the sugar until light and fluffy. Don't skimp on this stage as it's the key way of getting air into your sponge.
Beat in the eggs one at a time; if you whipped the butter and sugar enough there shouldn't be any curdling, but if there is add some of the flour to correct it.
Beat in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the flour.
If the batter is thick and won't easily drop from the mixing spoon, fold in a tablespoon of milk. It may need a further tablespoon. Add enough milk to reach "dropping consistency".
Spoon the batter into the prepared sandwich tins and gently smooth the tops with a knife.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the sponge comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the tin for a couple of minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely.
Now make the buttercream: beat the butter until it is light and whippy. It will start to look almost like whipped cream.
Add the icing sugar and beat until soft, light and airy looking.
Add the vanilla and beat again.
To assemble the cake turn one of the sponges upside down on the serving plate, so the flat surface is uppermost.
Spread the buttercream over the sponge.
Take the other layer of sponge and generously spread the flat side with jam.
Place the jammy sponge, flat side down on top of the buttercream and press gently to ensure the layers have stuck.
Dust the surface with icing sugar or caster sugar before serving.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.

KDE SVG Wallpaper Contest Winners
The KDE SVG Wallpaper contest has been finalized. It was not an easy task as there was so much incredible artwork. The judges sorted through all 86 entries and choose the top four and the winners are...
Tied for third place is 'Geared Globe' by Tschaeck and 'Andes Venezolanos' by Rendergraf.
The second place winner is 'Gear Flowers' by Tetromino. Tetromin has won a T-shirt featuring his wallpaper provided by Revelinux
And the 1st place winner of the KDE SVG Wallpaper Contest is...
Not only will the winning wallpapers be included in KDE 3.4 they will also will be made into T-shirts on sale at Revelinux
Thank you to all the judges who had the hard job of picking the top four wallpapers.
To all the artists that entered this contest: THANK YOU!! We couldn't believe the amazing artwork that was made in such a short period of time.
Interested in what the kde-look community is up to this month? Then check out the latest entries to our KDE-Look T-Shirt Contest.
State of the SVG support?
I assume that as there has been a competition like this that targets SVG content, that SVG support in KDE is fairly ok now? Or are the wallpapers just supposed to be scaled to the various normal resolutions and used as PNG/JPEG versions? I haven't really checked up how SVG has worked in KDE, but if wallpapers as complex as these can be directly supported it's great news.
By chakie at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: State of the SVG support?
A lot of the submitted wallpapers render incorrectly in KDE3.4 because of limitations in the KDE SVG Icon engine, but I suppose judges have taken in account the correct rendering of the wallpapers. I also submitted some artworks and had to redo large parts of them to work around the aforementioned limitations.
By raoulduke2 at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Native support
KDE 3.4 will natively support SVG background images. No need to pre-render manually.
By Eike Hein at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Native support
The author of KDE SVG Gearflowers says:
"Renders fine with inkscape and sodipodi; renders kinda slowly with svgdisplay from kde3.3; renders *slowly* with librsvg 2.8.1."
I think I'll pre-render mine, thank you. When do I really change desktop resolutions? I think it's smarter to include copies for various resolutions and render only if an appropriate version is not available.
Better to waste some disk space on different size copies than give people a sluggish wallpaper.
By Leo S at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
SVG Icon Suport?
Does this mean that KDE will finally be shipping its icons in svg format as well? SVG would also benifit well for icon coloring, inaddition to only requiring one file for all sizes.
By Anonymous at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: SVG Icon Suport?
All icons sources svg are already shipped in KDE sources.
By Anne-Marie Mahfouf at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: SVG Icon Suport?
> All icons sources svg are already shipped in KDE sources.
Most of the SVGs are missing because we never got them off Everaldo.
There will be a new version of Crystal out in the next couple of months and hopefully we will get more SVGs then. There will be a new SVG rendering engine in KDE 4 which should be fast and reliable enough for everyday use.
By Jonathan Riddell at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: SVG Icon Suport?
Sorry about my mistake. I can safely say then: "All edu icons have svg sources!" ;-)
By Anne-Marie Mahfouf at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Keep them coming KDE artists!
It is great to see such an active artist community. Also I think Janet is doing an excellent job by organizing these contests at KDE-Look.org. Kudos to all KDE artists out there and a special thank you to Janet!!
By Fab at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Where are MART-IN's http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=19342 and skullbook's http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=19121 ? IMO they are both better than all of these, and the visitors of KDE-Look agree. MART-IN's excellent wallpaper is the highest-rated wallpaper on KDE-Look by 2%, and it is rated 6% higher than the contest winners! I wish we were using KDE-Look rankings instead of a judging panel.
By Spy Hunter at Sun, 2005/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Missing
While I do appreciate the winning works, I agree with you. Personally, I prefer those two you have mentioned, and the two that got third place -- to me, they are cleaner, less obtrusive images more suitable for a wallpaper. Particularly MART-IN's.
By Matthew Kay at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Missing
Yeap. Congrats to the winners, but while I do think them did a good job, the only awarded one I'd dare to use as a wallpaper is 'Geared Globe' by Tschaeck.
By John Wallpaper Freak at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Missing
Yes, Skullbook's (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=19121) is the best and I'm shocked he didn't win first place. He had an obvious lead for a while on kde-look too.
You people are right, and I think that the judges were on crack when they picked these. Gear Flowers is by far the worst. We are Gear is just too busy. I like Geared Globe, but I think that MART-IN deserves first and then Skullbook after looking at them again.
By Turd Ferguson at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Missing
Too easy to manipulate. Can you say "vote-stuffing"? How about "astroturfing"? Yeah, thought so. :)
By Anonymous Coward at Fri, 2005/01/28 - 6:00am
Those wallpapers makes me feel I just smoked crack. I mean, who (with a sane mind) would use them on their workstations? Apart from Geared Globe, which is beautiful, relaxing and elegant, they're too distracting. Probably I won't even be able to recognize the trash icon on those desktops.
By Anne-Marie Mahfouf at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: yikes!
yeah, i was a bit surprised at some of the winners too =)
my favourites didn't even make it into the top four. oh well ... just shows that even being on the judging panel doesn't always make things go your way.. hehe
By Aaron J. Seigo at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
This is absurd
The top two wallpapers on kde-look don't even place in the top three??? What the hell is going on here!?!?!?!
I demand a recount!
By Mohammad Chang at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
I think I know why
Those explicitly mentioned KDE 3.4 and that renders them useless for any other release of KDE. They probably wanted something reusable.
By Alex at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: I think I know why
So does Geared Globe, in third place. Really, if that was the only problem, I'm sure they would have contacted the artists to change it.
By Spy Hunter at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: I think I know why
It is SVG so you can change the "3.4" text in the source of the XML file easily:
sed "s/3.4/4.0/g" wallpaper.svg > newwallpaper.svg
By raoulduke2 at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: I think I know why
Actually, if you downloaded Skullbook's work, there is no KDE 3.4 text like in the screenshot. Maybe the judges never actually tested the artwork????
By Mohammad Chang at Tue, 2005/01/25 - 6:00am
Re: I think I know why
actualy there is the 3.4 in the wallpaper. but there are two versions: one with a path with 3.4 and onw with only text. the text you can easy change in the xml file or with inkscape. but for the svgiconengine text must be convert into a path. so there is the other version.
but if this was a criterion for the judges it wasn't announced...
By skullbooks at Sat, 2005/02/05 - 6:00am
Re: This is absurd
I do quite agree with you that this is in fact a bit fishy.. but I think a recount is a bit too drastic though :-)
I propose: Ask the authors of the two/three wallpapers in question if it would be allright to remove the refference to the KDE version number (they still look great without them), and then include them in 3.4 anyway. This way both the honnor of the judges' desitions and the choice of the userbase can can be preserved.
If you have an oppinion about this, please post a "Yes" or "No"-like message below to make it easy for the maintainers to get a clear demotratic picture of the users' wishes :-D
By Macavity at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Not good
From the winners list I think only "Andes Venezolanos" by Rendergraf and "We are Gear" by gg3po should recive a winner place, the other two are just ugly IMHO, and this is even more true if compared to the missing winner submission by MART-IN. I feel his wallpaper is well done and professional, maybe the most oriented to be a default desktop.
By David Vignoni at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Not good
To like your many people say the same thing, but all those that they designed wallpaper do it very well. Congratulations to all without exception
By Rendergraf at Mon, 2005/02/14 - 6:00am
I agree with the criticism
While normally I don't like this kind of criticism, this time I have to agree...the winner and the even more the second placed are ways TOO distracting. Let try to put any icon (for example, the default trashbin icon we'll have in KDE 3.4) on the 2nd placed wallpaper...you won't simply cannot find it. I really don't understand the method used to choose those papers. The only "usability safe" is the third placed, it's nice, slick and cool. Maybe a little too blue-ish, but KDE seems to be blue-ish :)
By Davide Ferrari at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: I agree with the criticism
Wallpapers are hard to choose. Personally, I prefer the winner and the 2nd placed wallpaper. Because I want some good looking one. I don't like to have any icon on my desktop, and I usually have lots of windows so I don't see the wallpaper when I'm working. I only see it when swithcing to antoher desktop and launching any application. In this case, the wallpaper appears a few seconds before the launch of the app.
Obviously, you can't say : "hey, this one is better and this one is uglier". It really depends on desktop use, personal taste, etc.
By Romain at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: I agree with the criticism
Personal taste does not count here. It simply a matter of coherence. If you put by *default* some icons on the desktop as KDE *does*, then you have to choose a good wallpaper for this situation, and the second placed is not definitely a kind of wallpaper that let you clearly see the icons on it. If you do not put icons on desktop, well, it's *your personal* taste, but it's plent of people that use desktop to place shortcuts, and being this ecouraged by default KDE desktop settings...as I said, the wallpaper is not coherent.
By Davide Ferrari at Tue, 2005/01/25 - 6:00am
What? They didn't pick ME? :-D
I am surprised that they did not pick my awesome portrait, drawn by Pilaf. Here's the link, http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=19173. I am, afterall, KDE's mascot and greatest fan. Pilaf did a great job of translating my overall brilliance and attention-grabbing presence into the svg format. Although I can appreciate the winners, I'm dissappointed that my clout didn't even get me an honorable mention.
I'm going to dinner with Katie soon, so I'll leave you with those words.
By Konqui at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: What? They didn't pick ME? :-D
Yeap, that one is really great. Not too distracting. We can easily set the background colour to what better fits the rest of our desktop and makes our eyes feel better. And it is one of the very few featuring you, the KDE mascot. It would only be better if it featured Katie instead.
By John Usability Freak at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: What? They didn't pick ME? :-D
Hey, thanks for the nice words :)
Sorry I didn't ask for your consent, Konqui. I'm glad you liked it.

We cant always get what we want.
First off we at KDE-Look decided not to use the popular vote system at the KDE-Look web site because unfortunately it has some issues.
Secondly none of this is an exact science. In an attempt to offset this we sought to create a panel of judges that would take many factors into account. As a result we choose some judges from KDE: artist, usability and developers communities. For those of you really that interested in the voting process I am including the scoring sheet from all phases of this contest. A special thanks to all of the judges who took of their own time to offer their opinion. Anybody interested in becoming a judge for future contests please email me.
Thirdly we recognize that there are many incredible wallpapers that did not make the top ten we are not going to let these sit idle. There is much planning and scheming yet to do:).
Fourthly Any reference to the judges using performance enhancing drugs such as crack, LSD, Pot, etc... is beyond the scope of our contests. As we do not have a drug policy nor do we plan on implementing one soon. This insures that you too can be a judge someday. hehe
Lastly I welcome constructive comments and helpful suggestions concerning how we can improve our contests. I feel that with each contest we hold we receive more and more high quality artwork each time. Thank you for your comments Janet Theobroma.
By Janet Theobroma at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: We cant always get what we want.
Of course there's no accounting for the taste of the judging panel; I quite understand. And the quality of the artwork in general is indeed getting higher than ever before.
It may have issues, but to me it seems like the KDE-look vote system is quite accurate overall. My suggestion would be to implement some rudimentary measures to prevent blatant ballot-stuffing, and then just go with it for the next contest. That way everybody can participate in the voting easily.
By Spy Hunter at Mon, 2005/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: We cant always get what we want.
Its not as easy as it seems. This is the answer that I received about the voting system from the KDE-Look admin:
( "the voting system is a difficult thing. If I store every single vote for every
I will work an a better solution in the future.
I am working on other possible solutions. I may need some help with this in the near future. But for right now it is what it is.

Has anyone noticed that YES, KDE wallpaper has become nicer looking, but when you browse the KDE Look & Feel website that the majority of the wallpaper is BLUE or GRAY? What gives??? It's sad that on KDE I'm stuck searching for Windows Wallpaper (from some Windows theme site)because I need something with a different colour (and shocking RED should only be used as a desktop under root to warn you that you are using root - JUST IN CASE)!
If I'm not using a Windows Wallpaper I'm using a SUSE Linux Wallpaper - amazing - GREEN.
Well, Congrats KDE - You enherited 4 more Blue wallpapers - Oh wait, never mind

Re: KDE WALLPAPER HAS BEGUN TO SUCK LARGE
Good news! 'Geared Globe' and 'We are Gear' are both transparent wallpapers. So you can make these wallpapers ANY color you want by changing the colors in the Background section of the Control Center. I have even included a .png green version of "Geared Globe" just for you!

Re: KDE WALLPAPER HAS BEGUN TO SUCK LARGE
By SPAMMER at Thu, 2008/05/22 - 5:00am
Weird way...
Now, we'll have background full of objects around, very distracting for me, and hardly "fashion". :(
No offence to authors of winner backgrounds. They made their work, but IMO it's just not a good decision for KDE.

Re: Weird way...
I am shocked too! but for a different reason! Most of these comments offer nothing constructive or helpful! It occurred to me after reading all of these comments as a whole that if different designs had won there would be comments such as Ugh. Nothing new here same old KDE art man when are we going to get something fresh or new piss on this or piss on that...
You don't have to use the wallpapers you don't like! You can use whatever ones you do like.
This contest rocked and I think it was wildly successful! 80+ wallpapers in 21 days! SVG Wallpaper support for KDE! Some extremely killer wallpapers! No matter what your taste there is something for everyone! Did I mention it costs you nothing. HOLY fill in the blank!
The second thing that occurred to me is this, all of you should be judges in upcoming kde-look contests you are totally qualified and in some cases over qualified ;) contact theobroma she invited you to do this!
Here's to free speech, free OS and apps and of course free beer!

Re: Weird way...
First, I did not write a suggestion, but a review. Review of the choice. Sorry it was "not constructive"...
I gave my suggestions, but it's not important what I do like, or what I do not like. It's not subjective that in winner wallpaper there is a lot of objects around, a lot "happens" inside the image, right?
By gandalf at Thu, 2005/01/27 - 6:00am
Re: Weird way...
My comment was not actually specific only to yours. Suggestion or review your comment was just another rehash of negetivity that has prevailed on this news item. Does this make you wrong or right? Neither, I think it is awesome that you offered your comments and equally awesome that I can make mine. I think that a lot of you have strong opinions and that if you are not contestants you would be excellent judges for future contests. No joke I think people like you would raise the bar. Contact Theobroma.

The property tax increase voters in the Indian River School District overwhelmingly approved last week likely won't be as large as initially expected.
Construction on new classrooms at Georgetown's two elementary schools could start as early as October.
Meanwhile, the property tax increase voters in the Indian River School District overwhelmingly approved last week likely won't be as large as initially expected.
"It all still depends on what the state legislature does, so those aren't definite certainties just yet," Patrick Miller, the school district's chief financial officer, said this week. "But for now that appears to be where things are headed."
More than 65 percent of the roughly 3,900 voters who cast ballots in the school district's Jan. 29 referendum approved a 3.2-cent property tax increase that will fund the addition of 38 new classrooms at five elementary schools and one middle school currently facing space issues.
That tax increase was expected to raise about $438,400 a year to pay the annual debt service on the district's $4.4 million share of the total $11 million construction project, with the remainder to be covered by the state.
Miller said the tax increase was based on the anticipated annual debt service the district would need to pay if all $4.4 million worth of municipal bonds were sold at once at 5 percent interest.
However, the bond bill Gov. Jack Markell introduced in the state Senate on Jan. 24 seeks only $4.9 million in total funding for Indian River – $2.9 million from the state and $2 million from the district – and would cover the cost of new classrooms only at North Georgetown, Georgetown and East Millsboro elementary schools.
Miller said that proposal would only require a 1.46-cent property tax increase this year.
"The 3.2-cent increase was really a worst case scenario because when we got approval to put the referendum before voters, we didn't have any idea what the governor's bond bill would look like," he said. "For taxpayers, it actually ends up being cheaper if the bonds for the construction are sold over multiple years because the debt service payments decrease every year and we only adjust the rate to collect what we need for a given year."
The second part of last week's referendum, also approved by more than 65 percent of voters, included an 11.5-cent property tax rate increase that will collect $1.81 million in annual operating funds to cover the hiring of 20 new teachers, as well as furniture, supplies and added utility costs related to the school expansions.
Superintendent Susan Bunting said that tax increase would be implemented in full because the district will need at least 20 more teachers next year due to rising student enrollment and the district's planned addition of full-day kindergarten.
Taxpayers in the district can expect to see the new school tax rate – now expected to be about $2.7529 per $100 of assessed property value, or about 4.9 percent more than the previous rate of $2.623 percent – in their July bills.
Miller said several factors could impact the anticipated start date for construction at the three elementary schools identified in the governor's bond bill, include the proposed legislation's approval by the General Assembly, when the municipal bonds are actually sold and the process of hiring one or more contractors.
"If everything goes perfectly, we should be starting construction at those schools in October or November, with the rest of the schools to follow in the fall of 2014," he said. "Each project should take about 18 months, which would mean the new classrooms in Georgetown could be ready by the 2014-2015 school year."

The Word of Notch has a follow up on his well publicized overture to Double Fine productions about possibly supplying funding for Psychonauts 2. In spite of recent indications that this was a serious offer, this update is a bit of a reality check, as evidenced by the post's "Hype" title. Notch now says he actually "semi-jokingly" tweeted about funding a sequel to the adventure game, and shows a little naïveté about the attention his public actions attract: "Point is, stop hyping over this, internet! You're going to scare me into doing things secretly instead of being open and transparent via twitter. I am incredibly scared of the very real risk of people feeling let down just because I took a chance at something that doesn't end up panning out." He also offers what he sees are the facts in this situation, as he seems them:

Is this true? Deon said it on the local Boston radio station up here and I'm looking for confirmation. It's been raining pretty much every day for the past two weeks in New England and I'm hating it.
So your defense is looking top notch. You guys probably have the biggest CBs in the league. The pass rush seems nasty too, especially at home. I think Aaron Rodgers' counselor was working overtime after that Packers game to help him overcome PTSD (Post Traumatic Sack Disorder).
Things are pretty good here in New England in case your wondering (except for the aforementioned rain). Leaves are turning color, gas is still under $4 a gallon, the Pats are leading the division and the Jets are a wonderful carnival of misfits.
Should be a good game. The Pats have decided to run some sort of hurry up on offense on Amphetimines. If you have any interest here's a pretty good article on what they are trying to do on that side of the ball: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/p ... story.html
Two warnings: 1. It's kinda long. You could probably finish half your Venti from Starbucks by the time you're done reading it. 2. They seem to have borrowed much of their philosophy from Chip Kelly's Oregon Ducks, so reading it might make some of you Huskies/Cougars fans throw up a little in your mouths.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Pats are better than last year but that's not saying much. They seem to be able to get better pressure on the QB when just rushing four. Secondary is still a concern but no team's perfect. I'm assuming they plan on bottling up Lynch and taking their chances with Wilson beating them.
By the way, I hear that stadium of your is pretty loud. Is it loud like, a wife yelling at her husband to take the garbage out or loud like a wife catching her husband in bed with the cleaning lady?

WATERTOWN, Mass. — The two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle overnight that left one of them dead and his brother on the loose, authorities said this morning as thousands of officers swarmed the streets in a manhunt that all but paralyzed the Boston area.
The suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and a family member as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, brothers from a Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, known to the FBI as Suspect No. 1 and seen in surveillance footage in a black baseball cap, was killed in a gun battle with police in Massachusetts overnight, officials said. His 19-year-old brother — dubbed as Suspect No. 2 and seen wearing a white, backwards baseball cap in the images from Monday's deadly bombing at the marathon finish line — escaped.
In Boston, authorities suspended all mass transit today and urged close to a million people in all of Boston and some of its suburbs to stay indoors as they searched for the remaining suspect. Businesses were asked not to open today. People waiting at bus and subway stops were told to go home.
"We believe this man to be a terrorist," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. "We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people."

BEIJING — A powerful earthquake struck the steep hills of China's southwestern Sichuan province Saturday, leaving at least 124 people dead and more than 2,600 injured, nearly five years after a devastating quake wreaked widespread damage across the region.
Saturday's quake, while not as destructive as that in 2008, toppled buildings, triggered landslides and disrupted phone and power connections in mountainous Lushan county. The village of Longmen was hit particularly hard, with authorities saying nearly all the buildings there had been destroyed in a frightening minute-long shaking by the quake.
Rescuers turned the square outside the Lushan County Hospital into a triage center, where medical personnel bandaged bleeding victims, according to footage on China Central Television. Rescuers dynamited boulders that had fallen across roads to reach Longmen and other damaged areas lying farther up the mountain valleys, state media reported.
The China Earthquake Administration said at least 124 people had died. The government of Ya'an city, which administers Lushan, said in a statement that more than 2,600 people were injured, 330 of them severely.
The quake, measured by the earthquake administration at magnitude-7.0 and the U.S. Geological Survey at 6.6, struck shortly after 8 a.m.

Armel Debian for the Kurobox Pro - Manual install
- 1 Armel Debian on the KuroPro
- 2 Installation
- 2.1 Get it
- 2.2 Log in to EM
- 2.3 Partitioning
- 2.4 Create Filesystems
- 2.5 Extract everything over to the Hard Drive
- 2.6 Reboot and Change uboot settings
- 2.7 Login
- 3 Post install
- 4 References
Armel Debian on the KuroPro
Lenny-armel*-Debian rootfs image for testing available...[1]
- Enough Debian to get you up and running, with ssh access and scp for easy file tranfer in & out of the box
- 2.6.25+ kernel w/ a fairly wide variety of modules, courtesy of foonas/OE/bitbake, or you could cross-compile your own[2]
- Built-in kernel support for ext2/3, jfs & reiserfs
- micro_evtd (fan & temperature control, LED's, buttons)
- u-boot utils (fw_{print|set}env)
- no initrd
What you will need
Install using the native EM mode (or foonas-em[3] if you have it) via command line (manually). You will need Serial port[4] access to have control over the Uboot settings [5]. Serial access will provide a safety net, it is strongly suggested that you have serial access already, and you know how to safely change uboot env vars. It is not a good idea to try to install this without understanding completely, get into a problem, and then try to get serial access and try to learn this. Note that for Buffalo's stock U-Boot, if you change bootcmd from the default values, you will have to either edit them w/ fw_setenv while in foonas-em, or use serial access and reset them all to defaults.
- KuroboxPro (of course)
- SATA Hard Drive (bigger is better) installed[6]
- Serial port access (one of the following)
Get it
|Another Archive
|Another Lenny drop of Debian for the LS PRO also exists at:
downloads: ALL_ARM9/ARMel Lenny
- Connect up the blank unformatted hard drive
- Connect ethernet to your network (it would be best to use the 192.168.11.x subnet)
- Connect serial cable for serial console and power on.
- Access the Samba share on the Kurobox Pro named mtd_device, the flash memory is available via Samba with the native EM mode at:
- Download the archive and updated Kernel/modules and Copy over to the samba share
Log in to EM
Using a Kurobox that is booting into EM (the default) you should login first over the serial console [7]
KUROBOX-PRO login: root Password: kuroadmin login[756]: root login on `ttyS0' BusyBox v1.1.1 (2007.04.06-12:02+0000) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. ~ #
There are detailed instructions on partitioning in EM Mode[8][9] or using Parted on an external workstation[10]. We want to create the following partition scheme:
|W95 Ext'd (LBA)
You could pretty much follow this guide keystroke for keystroke to do it. It is suggested that you read the man pages for fdisk & read up on it, as well[9].
Primary Partitions
Start up fdisk
fdisk /dev/sda
And use the following commands
Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-30401, default 1): <enter> Using default value 1 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-30401, default 30401): +100MB Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 2 First cylinder (124-30401, default 124): <enter> Using default value 124 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (124-30401, default 30401): +10GB
Extended Partitions
Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) e Partition number (1-4): 4 First cylinder (1341-30401, default 1341): <enter> Using default value 1341 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1341-30401, default 30401): <enter> Using default value 30401 Command (m for help): n Command action l logical (5 or over) p primary partition (1-4) l First cylinder (1341-30401, default 1341): Using default value 1341 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1341-30401, default 30401): +512MB Command (m for help): n Command action l logical (5 or over) p primary partition (1-4) l First cylinder (1404-30401, default 1404): <enter> Using default value 1404 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1404-30401, default 30401): <enter> Using default value 30401
Change sda5 to Swap
The default type of partition is Ext3 (83), so we only need to change the type on partition 5, to Swap (82).
Command (m for help): t Partition number (1-7): 5 Hex code (type L to list codes): 82 Changed system type of partition 5 to 82 (Linux swap)
Print the partition map
To see that it is what we want
Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 123 987966 83 Linux /dev/sda2 124 1340 9775552+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 1341 30401 233432482+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 1341 1403 506016 82 Linux swap /dev/sda6 1404 30401 223150851 83 Linux
Write the partitions to the hard drive
Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table
Create Filesystems
Once you are done w/ making partitions, create the filesystems on them. We will assume you created exactly the partition above. Do the following:
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1 mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda2 mkswap /dev/sda5 mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda6
Extract everything over to the Hard Drive
Log into the Kurobox using the default settings[11]
|Kurobox PRO
|IP Settings
|Date and Time
|Serial Settings
|Root access
|Samba Share Folder
and go to the directory that you transferred your files over to (likely /mnt/mtd)
cd /mnt/mtd
Mount Hard Drive
mkdir /mnt/sda1 mkdir /mnt/sda2 mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
Move everything over
mv armel-lenny*.tgz /mnt/sda2
Untar the rootfs
cd /mnt/sda2 tar -xvzf armel-lenny*.tgz
Copy the uImage over Modules
cp /mnt/sda2/boot/* /mnt/sda1
Reboot and Change uboot settings
The final step is to modify your uboot environment to boot into the rootfs (Debian). On reboot, wait for the SECOND countdown to happen, interrupt uboot over the serial console [7] and type the following commands to configure your Kurobox Pro to boot from the hard disk with the new kernel.
For stock U-Boot (default bootloader):
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda2 rw ; setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; ext2load ide 0:1 0x00100000 /uImage; bootm 0x00100000' saveenv boot
Reboot and use ssh to login to your newly Debianized KuroBox Pro with an SSH session. In windows PuTTY is a good client. Networking is set up for static ip.
Open an SSH session to:
- Static IP: 192.168.11.50
Login with:
- login:root
- password: armel
Post install
EM Mode Issues
Can't Set UBoot Env Vars Because of the 16-arg Limit?
Buffalo gave us a UBoot that has some shortcomings...including the 16-arg limit... While in foonas-em, set bootcmd with fw_setenv, which gets around this limit, by executing the following:
fw_setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; ext2load ide 0:1 0x00100000 /uImage; setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda2 rw ; bootm 0x00100000'
Executing the following will allow you to see if you were successful:
fw_printenv bootcmd
Original EM Mode
By the way, the command set to get it to boot from the flash (like it was originally) should you ever want to is:
setenv default_kernel_addr 0x00100000 setenv bootargs_base console=ttyS0,115200 setenv bootargs_root root=/dev/mtdblock2 rw setenv bootargs $(bootargs_base) $(bootargs_root) $(buffalo_ver) setenv uImage_block 0 setenv uImage_offset 0x00020000 setenv bootcmd 'nboot $(default_kernel_addr) $(uImage_block) $(uImage_offset); bootm $(default_kernel_addr)'
Foonas EM
Should you be doing this from foonas EM (and have fw_setenv installed):
To get to foonas-em from debian:
fw_setenv bootcmd ide reset \; ext2load ide 0:1 0x00100000 /boot/uImage \; setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 \;nboot 0x00100000 0 0x01000000 \; bootm 0x00100000; reboot
Changing the hostname
nano /mnt/drive2/etc/hostname
Edit it to be something more KuroPro-ish, like kpro-armel.
If you want some other setup, do so, but remember to adjust your /etc/fstab, and anything else that matters.
If necessary, adjust /etc/network/interfaces to your network and your needs, either static or dhcp. By default, it is set for a 192.168.11.0 network, with an IP of 192.168.11.50. It currently reads as follows:
# we always want the loopback interface # auto lo iface lo inet loopback # default dynamic setup (no adjustment necessary) # # # auto eth0 # iface eth0 inet dhcp # hostname `hostname` # # default static setup (adjust to your network settings) # auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.11.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.255.255 network 192.168.11.0 gateway 192.168.11.1
You may also need to check your etc/resolv.conf contents and adjust them to your network and ISP.
Kernel has netcat/nc capability, so you can monitor part of the boot process that way without needing any serial connection. Also excellent with netconsole-enabled u-boot.
Run depmod after cd-ing to the appropriate directory, so that any new modules are recognized.
Option: (highly suggested!) : add a foonas-em on some read-only partition (like sda1 in the default setup) so you have an em-image to fall back on. Also, consider learning how to tftp-boot into foonas-em, procedure shown here.
Samba tuningFilesharing : for faster samba, include in /etc/samba/smb.conf - [global]:
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=4096 SO_SNDBUF=8192
Problems? This is not a supported distro - just a test run. If you see problems and can relay a solution back, that would be great. If you see problems but can't give a fix, that's appreciated also.

Jewish Goddess Post
She's been working hard in recent weeks, using her star power to back President Obama's re-election campaign.
But on Thursday Natalie Portman decided to concentrate on her family life, spending time with her gorgeous son Aleph.
The 31-year-old actress toted her one-year-old son while heading to a local gym in Los Feliz.
Natalie dressed down in a white T-shirt and jeans as she and Aleph made their way into the sports centre.
She accessorised her outfit with a pair of retro cat eye sunglasses, while little Aleph wore a blue T-shirt and checked shorts.
Natalie was accompanied by her parents Shelley and Avner on the day trip, who presumably were given the task of keeping an eye on Aleph while the Black Swan star worked out.
It was recently reported that Natalie, who was last seen on screen in 2011 movie Thor, is thinking more seriously about which projects she takes on because she wants to spend more time with her son.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: 'Natalie is being super choosy about her projects and taking more time off from acting.
'She has this glow about her these days. There's been a change in her since the little man arrived.'
However, Natalie does have her finger in a few different pies at the moment.
As well as reprising her role as Jane Foster in the upcoming Thor sequel The Dark World, currently filming in the UK, Natalie has also signed up to appear in western movie Jane Got A Gun alongside Michael Fassbender.
She is also rumoured to be starring with Tom Hanks in the movie adaptation of Erik Larson's noel In The Garden Of Beasts.
All you social justice trash can stay out of this goddesses post and take your jealousy elsewhere.

Swan Lake ranks among the most famous classical ballet titles and forms part of the repertoire of all major theatres worldwide. The German fairy tale about Princess Odette, transfigured into a swan, the evil sorcerer Red Beard and the hapless Prince who forgets about his promise has gained immortality owing to P. I. Tchaikovsky's music, as well as the preserved original choreography by Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa. The National Theatre will premiere a new version of this splendid work in the choreography of the world-famous Danish dancer and choreographer Kenneth Greve, who will tailor-make this ballet for our corps de ballet. Our endeavour is to delve down to the story's roots, to reveal the real depth and symbolism of the work and, while respecting the legacy, to create a theatre and directorial form in keeping with the development of classical dance and theatre within our times.

DENVER Hundreds of people packed the Capitol on Tuesday for a marathon hearing as the Democrats gun bills started moving through the Legislature.
Durango Rep. Mike McLachlan emerged as a key Democratic swing vote, and his amendment to weaken a ban on high-capacity magazines helped the bill pass its first test.
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee passed two bills, House Bills 1224 and 1229, which ban high-capacity ammunition magazines and require background checks for every gun sale. Both passed on party-line 7-4 votes.
The background check bill has become the easiest piece of the gun-control package for Democrats to pass, and Gov. John Hickenlooper has voiced his support.
The bill requires a background check for any gun sale, even between private parties, with exceptions only for gifts to family members.
But the ban on ammunition magazines of more than 10 rounds proved to be more difficult.
McLachlan and fellow Democrats amended the limit to 15 rounds. In an interview, McLachlan said he would not vote for the bill unless the limit is raised to 15.
Its a reasonable number, and I think its consistent with protecting the public, McLachlan said.
Several types of semi-automatic guns are sold with magazines larger than 15 rounds. Those would become illegal under the bill, HB 1224.
The sponsor, Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, opposed the change, but she acquiesced to it in order to pass her bill. She asked legislators not to forget massacres at a school in Connecticut, an Army base in Texas, a congressional event in Arizona and a movie theater in her district.
What all of these events have in common is high-capacity magazine clips, Fields said.
McLachlan could remain a swing vote on other gun bills. He proclaimed his principles on future bills to the other members of the committee.
I will never support registration of guns, he said. I have severe philosophical problems with banning certain types of weapons.
The background check bill will not be a slippery slope that leads to a government registry of gun owners, McLachlan said.
The panel heard about 10 hours of testimony that was often emotional.
Jane Dougherty, a Colorado woman who lost her sister in the Newtown school massacre in December, was the first witness for the magazine bill.
Her sister, Mary Sherlach, died while running toward the gunman. If he didnt have large-volume magazines, the victims would have had a better chance, Dougherty said.
In fact, 11 children managed to escape when the shooter stopped to reload, and a little boy yelled, Run! she said.
Supporters of the pro-gun group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners packed the 150-seat room and overflowed into the hallways.
A political refugee led testimony for the opponents against the background-check bill.
Anthony Racz of Castle Rock said his family fled Hungary after the 1956 Soviet invasion. His grandfather, a police official, was arrested when he refused to turn over gun ownership records.
Many of my countrymen died, Racz said. Im particularly sensitive to registration and incrementally increasing controls.
Doug Smith, chief operating officer of Magpul, said the high-capacity magazine bill would force his Erie-based company to take its 200 manufacturing jobs out of state. The company makes military equipment, and its customers include foreign militaries.
If this bill is passed, we would be unable to continue our business here in Colorado, Smith said.
A ban on high-capacity magazines wont improve safety and will make it only harder for law-abiding people to defend themselves, Smith said.
The panel heard testimony into the night, even as the countrys attention was divided on two other gun-related stories.
In California, police were concluding a manhunt for a rouge former police officer who went on a killing spree, targeting officers and their families. And in Washington, President Barack Obama was calling for votes on gun-control bills in his State of the Union address.
But the debate is far from over. Both bills face more hearings, and today, House committees tackle two more bills. They would ban concealed weapons on college campuses and require guy buyers to pay for their own background checks.

<-- No tpraying for this. Until Pope is Orthodox. and the patriarchate of the West is Orthodox
This post gave me autism.
Since when has a Hierarch done anything for you? . . .
Oh ..sharp pointy things, and a Imported Bishop from the East.
Jack, While i agree in 'spirit' with Christ's prayer for unity, differences in thought do matter and are often primary obstacles; however, that doesn't imply one is automatically oppossed to unity. Think or imagine, the western church dropping any pretense to submission to a 'papacy.' The very idea is anathama to R.C.'s as they view unity hinged on this principle. When in fact, unity is hinged on a eucharistic unity, not modeled or subordinate to a particular hierarch....this 'thought' is so rooted in the west that the false premise of christians in the east 'needing conversion' - the far east that birthed christianity- drives a deeper wedge between orthodox and catholics. Christs call for unity was certainly not a call for submission to an ecclesiastical office designed and elevated with political overtones...to be formally erected in subsequent centuries after his death.. peace, joe
Anastasios,"To reduce the serious dogmatic differences to "eastern vs. western modes of thinking" makes everyone in the past look stupid: "oh they just didn't understand each other." Then how do you jusitfy your stance via the Oriental Orthodox. This is exactly what you and some propose unification with them. My Church allows me this position but your does not, if you are being consistent. If, however, you stand by your beliefs concerning the Oriental Orthodox then extend the same consideration to fellow Chalcedonians. Fr. Deacon Lance
I have a baad feeling about Non-Chalcedonians too.We shouldn't be reuniting with them either.
[Why? They are very close to Orthodoxy and their piety is tremendous. If we could agree dogmatically they would be an asset to the Eastern Orthodox.]I second that!Orthodoc
Then they should become Chalcedonian Orthodox
When talking of unity, one wonders, why the west doesn't unite first with fellow western christians rather than pursue a suspect re-unification with eastern orthodoxy; after all, protestanism is a logical fallout of r. catholicism. But R. catholics will look on the lutherans, anglicans, baptists, etc as 'heretics.' Seeing itself as the source of christianity, Rome considers Orthodox as schismatic ( correct me if i'm wrong, but this was pre-vatican 11 theology). It is Rome's departure from Orthodoxy that has promoted the morphing of Christianity into various defections.......so again, where does the suppossed 1st step toward unity begin???...............................joe
Quote from: sdcheung on September 29, 2004, 08:44:12 PMThen they should become Chalcedonian OrthodoxOr you could come back to the Church.
Catholic Eagle, Your point is excellent and well taken; of course the east is not immune to heretics ( including bishops who erred). todays Orthodox Church is fragmented in many places by jurisdictionalism, which is too messy to discuss here. The early church hammered out the doctrine and formulated what books would occupy the bible, long before an established papacy existed, but as you pointed out ,still was fractured by nestorianism, arianism, etc. So no, i do not think Rome is the 'source' of all error but i do think it's unwavering posture on papal allegiance is a pre-cursor to error.....i percieve these overtures for unity to have an apocalyptic significance in setting up a one religion system, based on ecclesiastical structure, occupied by a pope... thats my bias............................................................................................................joe
Sorry to sound stupid here, but have your read the Lasallette prophecies? It seems that "Orthodox" hold to them. Any cconnection?
Have you forgotten the Arian apostasy in the 4th century, which denied Christ's divinity? That started in the CHristian east. The Arians caused a worldwide apostasy from the Faith and about 80% of the bishops were Arians. The only good bishop left was St.Athanasius and he kept the Faith alive through that time. Also note, ST.Athanasius traveled from East to West and North to South,giving the Sacraments to the scattered flocks. He rarely got a safe rest anywhere and was hounded by Ecclesiastics and only gained rest in Gaul,where he was welcomed by St.Ireaneaus of Poitiers. Also what about Nestorianism? Noviatianism? The East is not immacualte
Quote from: sdcheung on September 29, 2004, 08:44:12 PMThen they should become Chalcedonian OrthodoxMaybe in another 500 years...

Yes we had another birthday around here and I can report that there were no broken arms. Whew! Lillian enjoyed every minute of her day and said with pride at breakfast, "This is fun--I've never been six before!"
Lillian insisted on a Barbie cake (you know, the kind where you stick a doll into a volcano of batter, bake her and see how she holds up? Kidding.) but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Not ANOTHER Barbie cake! I've done pirate ships, killer whales, Death Stars, horse heads, picture books, sheep, butterflies, rainbows, spiders, dinosaurs and salmon but NO MORE BARBIES!
So I "suggested" a mermaid cake. Of course in her mind she had visions of Ariel but I wasn't about to tell her that Disney wasn't getting any piece of this action and by the time I went to frost and decorate she was so excited that she didn't even remember Barbie or Ariel or anything else.
I was, however, a little disturbed at the results. Is anyone else seeing Raggedy Anne as a mermaid? There's a reason that one was never marketed--it's just creepy.
But as for details: those are madelines you see strategically positioned as seashells, licorice strings for hair and Necco wafers for the fish scales. The pattern takes a bucket load of cake batter--I made a 9 X 13 inch cake for the body and tail and then a second batch in a glass bowl for the face (there was enough left over for cupcakes).
Oh! And another thing about this whole birthday extravaganza--I was putting off shopping for Lillian's present because 1. I really dislike shopping in general and 2. I had no ideas. Add to this the fact that all the grandparents always send me cash to buy their presents for them so I have not just one idea but four ideas to give birth to. I was paralyzed with indecision.
Anyway, I had half an hour to kill in between piano lessons a couple days before her birthday and on a whim I ran to the nearby local toy store Over the Rainbow Toys which just set up shop around the corner (I was avoiding Toys R Us like the plague--I don't like going there). I walked in and there were millions of real toys. Not tiny stripper dolls or walls of video games or merchandising from the latest blockbuster but real toys. It took me all of fifteen minutes to find four great gifts and then (the icing on the cake) when I walked up to the register the friendly and helpful clerk asked that magic question: "Would you like these gift wrapped?"
She must have thought she had the village idiot staring at her because I kind of stood there for a second in a stupor, analyzing all the ways that this must be a scam or a dream, before she quickly said, "It's complimentary!"
So in less than a half an hour I had found terrific toys and had them all gift wrapped and in a big brown bag for my shopping pleasure. And boy was it a pleasure. And they're not even paying me to say that.
And speaking of healthy desserts loaded with sugar and more sugar here's a video clip sent in by Alex, a kind reader who put me onto this funny thing. It had me chuckling at "sommelier sauvant" and then had me on the floor with "constantly hugged goats." Go on, watch it . . . I dare you.
