P3s make it possible to deliver much needed transportation projects in a timely manner, often years before the projects could be delivered using traditional project-delivery methods. Because P3s are business ventures for the private sector, the private sector has become efficient at delivering projects under this method. These efficiencies, combined with the private sector's resources, provide a more effective life-cycle cost and timely approach to delivering projects and provide a greater value for money for the public owner. In short, P3s make it possible for Arizonans to get much-needed transportation improvements faster than if conventional delivery methods are used, thus providing more travel options, reducing congestion and improving roadway safety for Arizonans.
Under a conventional project-delivery method, ADOT finances both the design and construction of a transportation project. First, ADOT typically bids out and oversees the engineering design. Once the design is complete, ADOT then bids out and oversees the project's construction. Once the construction is complete, ADOT assumes the operations and maintenance of the facility. This process often results in change orders, which increase the cost of the project.
Under a P3, a private partner either finances or assists in financing a transportation project. ADOT bids one contract for the project, and the resulting P3 agreement covers both the design and construction of the project. It may also include the operation and maintenance of the facility by the private partner for a defined period of time. Typically, the private partner, not ADOT, is responsible for change orders.
The private partner is responsible for managing and operating the project for the term length, with ADOT serving in an oversight role. The private partner typically is responsible for adding future capacity to enhance the ongoing operations of the project. Under all circumstances, ownership of the project remains with ADOT.
Eligible projects include those that are used or are useful for the safe transport of people or goods via one or more modes of transportation, including enhanced, upgraded and new facilities. Eligible projects could involve any of these structures:
ADOT can use a variety of project delivery methods:
ADOT retains control and ownership and sets the standards and rules of the P3 facility.
In Arizona, the term of a P3 agreement can extend up to 50 years. However, ADOT may extend a P3 for additional terms.
No. A toll facility is a business venture for a private partner. If tolls are too high, fewer people will travel on the facility, which will result in lower profits for the private entity. Similarly, reducing service will also drive customers away, which is the last thing that a business wants to do. Additionally, provisions regulating toll rate increases and performance standards are included in the P3 agreement, and the private partner is legally required to adhere to these provisions.
Legislation requires that any P3 agreement must be used for a "new, upgraded or enhanced facility." Therefore, P3s can be used for new facilities or for expansions to existing facilities. Existing lanes cannot be tolled under current law.

If you're like me, it might just be possible that you never read The Taming of the Shrew in school. But never fear, we put together a handy reference guide to get you up to speed.
Meet Petruchio and Kate (the shrew) from the Ballet Austin version. Their relationship is a tad bit rocky at first…
Petruchio has promised to marry Kate, the shrew, and take her off her father's hands. Would you take this woman? Let the taming begin.
Movies more your thing? Maybe you've seen one of these modern versions:
10 Things I Hate About You:
Based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, this version takes place in a modern day high school. As for the unusual title? It's taken from a poem Kat (Julia Stiles) writes to describe her relationship with (Patrick) Heath Ledger in the movie.
Kiss Me, Kate:
The 1948, Tony award-winning musical features music by Cole Porter and provides a whole different style to the story. The original production starred Alfred Drake, Patricia Morison, Lisa Kirk and Harold Lang.
Prefer the classics?
This 1967 version of The Taming of the Shrew features Elizabeth Taylor as the Shrew and is not to be missed.

It has been awhile since I've shared a story from the Green River Preserve. But that certainly doesn't reflect a shortage of stories. I've realized that the tales and legends of this special place — tucked away in the Green River valley of southwest Henderson County — are so numerous, and so compelling, that I'm not sure all of them could ever be told.
The day I met Sandy Schenck, Green River Preserve camp owner and director, I told him I wanted to hear all of the stories about his land that he held so dear. At the time, I didn't realize what a ridiculous and impossible request this was. But of all the stories that Schenck managed to share with me over the course of that afternoon, his favorite seemed to be the one he told to me first: the story of Joe Capps, a man who so deeply valued land, he seemingly walked to the ends of the earth for it.
"I first heard the Joe Capps story when I was a boy visiting the Green River valley, and it still sometimes brings tears to my eyes," Schenck said. Capps and his family lived and farmed in the Green River valley in the early 20th century.
"The story goes that Mr. Capps and his family had about four or five acres of land at the time. One day he went to his family and said, 'We're not going to make it. We don't have enough land. We need more,'�" Schenck said.
Mr. Capps went on to tell his family that the only way to get more land was to go to work in the textile mills in Greenville, S.C.
"That will allow us to earn enough money to buy more land," Capps told his family, according to Schenck.
Capps' family was outraged. "They said he was condemning himself to hell," Schenck said. "Those were powerful words back then. It was a terrible thought — a mountain man leaving his family to work in a textile mill."
But that's what Capps did. For six years, from 1904 to 1910, he worked at Poe Manufacturing Co., a textile mill in Greenville. So determined to afford more land for his family in his beloved Green River valley, Capps worked six days a week at the mill, making only a few dollars per day.
So determined, in fact, that Capps walked all the way there and all the way home. Every week.
According to Schenck, "He would leave Greenville on Saturday afternoon and walk all the way up the (Blue Ridge) escarpment." Capps' walk would extend into the night. He would arrive home by Sunday morning. He went to church with his family and then stayed for dinner. After exchanging his dirty clothes for a clean set, he would walk back to Greenville in time for work on Monday morning.
"He did that for six years. That's a 35-mile round trip. With more than 2,000 feet of elevation gain, at least," Schenck said. "That's unbelievable."
Records from January 1911, just about the time that Capps stopped walking to back and forth to Greenville, say he purchased 151 acres of land in the Green River valley for $830. It was a fantastic achievement following a remarkable and long journey. Capps finally had his land, which he described as "the soul of his family."
According to Schenck, the story of Capps "was as elusive as a trail of lost footsteps." He had shared the story with his cousin, David Schenck, and they agreed they needed to track it down before it disappeared.
Keeping the story alive
Indeed, that's almost what happened. David collected oral interviews from old-timers living in the Green River valley, hoping to shed more light on Capps. He visited Euva Capps, an elderly woman who was related to Joe. Ms. Capps was a young girl during the period that Joe was walking to Greenville. David was fearful that her declining health might prevent her from speaking with him.
Despite being sick, when asked about Joe Capps' long walks, Euva sat straight up, ripped the oxygen mask off of her face, and revealed the story to David. Euva would pass away just two days later.
"The story was almost lost," Schenck said. Now he's grateful that it wasn't.
"People do not understand what land means to people. When you hear stories like that, you get a sense of what it meant."
Schenck and his wife, Missy, know that sense of what the land meant to so many before them, and the meaning it holds for them now. They felt it so strongly that in 2006, they entered 2,600 acres of their Green River Preserve property into a permanent conservation easement with the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy. The easement ensures that the land — which includes the uppermost headwaters of the Green River as well as several miles of boundary with DuPont State Forest — will never be developed.
The Schencks and CMLC are excited to know that the land around where Joe Capps lived and worked so tirelessly to obtain will forever remain the way he had known it. And that by conserving the land, they're protecting its stories.
Said Schenck, "Stories are very much a part of what the land is. They have to be together to have the meaning of each."
The trees remain
CMLC's conservation easement is not the only honor paid to Joe Capps' sacrifices for the land. His family and descendents refused to cut the trees on their land along the trail leading to Greenville. This act itself was a sacrifice, as the wood would fetch a good price if logged and sold; "money on the stump," Schenck called it. The venerable trees remain today as a memorial to the sacrifice Capps made to acquire his land.
"As a child, it was simply a fascinating story of remarkable people in the valley. Now, as a camp director who has worn out many a pair of shoes on Green River trails, I am in awe of the painful length of that walk, often done by night, up the steep ridge and through the gap," Schenck reflected.
"I still lead children on hikes in the valley, and sometimes, when we come to a view and see a bulldozed patch where there were once trees, I feel a tinge of sadness. The children make me hopeful, so I continue to tell them the story, just like my parents told it to me. But I wonder, if (more) folks knew the story, how might that view look different? What new awe might we all feel for those trees?"
The conservancy protects land and water resources vital to our region's natural heritage and quality of life. Since 1994, CMLC has protected more than 23,000 acres in Henderson, Transylvania and surrounding counties. For more information, visit www.carolinamountain.org.
Green River Preserve is a co-ed summer camp for the bright, curious and creative. The camp strives to provide a challenging and nurturing learning experience and to inspire a deep appreciation of interconnectedness, ecological respect and the joy of living.

Residents have strong ties with their land
It has been awhile since I've shared a story from the Green River Preserve. But that certainly doesn't reflect a shortage of stories. I've realized that the tales and legends of this special place — tucked away in the Green River valley of southwest Henderson County — are so numerous, and so compelling, that I'm not sure all of them could ever be told.

Safe handling of bodily fluids after chemotherapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
After chemotherapy treatment, are there recommendations for safe handling of patient secretions, urine, etc for when they return home?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Medical Correspondent, responds:
Thanks for your question. At the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center we do not give any specific recommendations for handling of secretions for patients undergoing chemotherapy, with a few exceptions. In the case of patients who are receiving treatment with radio-immunotherapy, there are some more specific recommendations. The medications used in radioimmunotherapy are Bexxar and Zevalin. Zevalin emits radiation in beta rays, and therefore is mostly confined to the body. These patients are told to wash hands thoroughly after urinating, clean up any spillage of urine with soap and water immediately, and to abstain from having sexual intercourse for one week.
Bexxar is different in that it releases radiation in gamma and beta rays and therefore emits radiation from the body. These patients are given more isolating instructions. These include: sleeping alone (5 days), no kissing or sexual intercourse (7 days), minimize time with pregnant women and children (5 days), and minimize close contact with others (5 days). They are also instructed to drink plenty of fluids (5 days), flush the toilet 2-3 times after each use and wash hands thoroughly, if possible, use a separate bathroom from others (5 days), use disposable eating utensils (5 days), use separate bath linens and launder them separately (7 days), maintain a separate toothbrush holder (5 days), and wipe the telephone mouthpiece with a tissue after each use (5 days).
One other special case is the treatment of bladder cancer with BCG. The BCG is a live bacteria, and can therefore infect others. Healthcare workers are at risk of infection by these bacteria when preparing the medication for instillation into the bladder, and it should be prepared with aseptic technique. After treatment, these patients are advised to urinate sitting down to avoid splashing of urine. For the first six hours after treatment, urine should be mixed with an equal amount of bleach for 15 minutes to disinfect before flushing. Patients should increase their fluid intake to flush the BCG from the bladder.

Fox Touts Failed Fiscal Austerity Measures
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
Fox's Stuart Varney claimed that the result of the French presidential election showed that French voters "want to go backwards" because they are saying "no more austerity." But experts have said that European austerity measures have not improved the economic situation and have warned against similar measures in the United States.
Fox Reacts To French Election By Touting European Fiscal Austerity Measures
Fox's Varney: Election Is "Not Good News" And A "Danger Signal For America" Because Voters Said "No More Of This Austerity." On the May 7 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Fox Business host Stuart Varney claimed that Francois Hollande's victory in the France's presidential election is "not good news" because French voters "think they can grow by more government spending even though they've got no money." From Fox & Friends:
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): It seems that French President Nicolas Sarkozy voted out of office in favor of Francois Hollande, a socialist who wants to raise taxes on corporations and the rich. So what does it mean for the United States' economy? Stuart Varney is here to explain. Good morning.
VARNEY: It's not good news. This is, in fact, a danger signal for America. Look, the Europeans are saying, "Hey, no mas. No more of these cuts, please. No more of this austerity." The Greeks say we're finished with this bailout. We can't handle this bailout, and the French, as you just pointed out, they want to tax the rich. They think that they can grow by more government spending even though they've got no money. Even though they have to borrow a ton more money, they think that borrow it and spend it that the government will get them out of trouble. It's exactly the same in America. That's what we think here.
Later in the segment, Varney warned that "President Obama wants another stimulus program. More government spending to get the economy going. The danger signal is the writing on the wall. We're going the same way as Europe is going." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 5/7/12]
Varney: Europeans Saying "No More Austerity" Means They "Want To Go Backwards." From the May 7 edition of Fox News' America Live:
VARNEY: The Europeans are saying we want to change direction -- no more austerity, no more of these cuts, no. We want to start spending more government money. We want a new stimulus program. We do not wish to reform entitlement programs, we want to go backwards. That what is now politically popular in Europe. The problem is, that has grave associations of problems for us over here, because it means more debt in Europe, more debt over there means more borrowing over there. That means a longer and probably deeper recession than the one they've already got.
So when you translate that to over here, it means that slow there means probably slowdown here. It means there's less confidence in the global economy, that's not good news for America. And because we are going down the same road, it points into which direction we are going in, and that is a slowdown. [Fox News, America Live, 5/7/12]
But Experts Have Said Austerity Measures Are Not Improving The European Economy And Warn Against Similar Measures In The U.S.
Krugman: European Economic Problems Are "A Failure ... Of The Austerity Doctrine." In a January 29 New York Times column titled "The Austerity Debacle," Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman noted that "Britain is doing worse this time than it did during the Great Depression" and that "Italy is also doing worse than it did in the 1930s." Krugman attributed both of these situations to the "failure, in particular, of the austerity doctrine that has dominated elite policy discussion both in Europe and, to a large extent, in the United States for the past two years." From The New York Times:
Last week the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, a British think tank, released a startling chart comparing the current slump with past recessions and recoveries. It turns out that by one important measure -- changes in real G.D.P. since the recession began -- Britain is doing worse this time than it did during the Great Depression. Four years into the Depression, British G.D.P. had regained its previous peak; four years after the Great Recession began, Britain is nowhere close to regaining its lost ground.
Nor is Britain unique. Italy is also doing worse than it did in the 1930s -- and with Spain clearly headed for a double-dip recession, that makes three of Europe's big five economies members of the worse-than club. Yes, there are some caveats and complications. But this nonetheless represents a stunning failure of policy.
And it's a failure, in particular, of the austerity doctrine that has dominated elite policy discussion both in Europe and, to a large extent, in the United States for the past two years.
The infuriating thing about this tragedy is that it was completely unnecessary. Half a century ago, any economist -- or for that matter any undergraduate who had read Paul Samuelson's textbook "Economics" -- could have told you that austerity in the face of depression was a very bad idea. But policy makers, pundits and, I'm sorry to say, many economists decided, largely for political reasons, to forget what they used to know. And millions of workers are paying the price for their willful amnesia. [The New York Times, 1/29/12]
Krugman On French Election: "[T]ime Is Clearly Running Out For The Strategy Of Recovery Through Austerity -- And That's A Good Thing." In a May 6 New York Times column responding to France's presidential election, Krugman wrote:
The French are revolting. The Greeks, too. And it's about time.
Both countries held elections Sunday that were in effect referendums on the current European economic strategy, and in both countries voters turned two thumbs down. It's far from clear how soon the votes will lead to changes in actual policy, but time is clearly running out for the strategy of recovery through austerity -- and that's a good thing.
What's wrong with the prescription of spending cuts as the remedy for Europe's ills? One answer is that the confidence fairy doesn't exist -- that is, claims that slashing government spending would somehow encourage consumers and businesses to spend more have been overwhelmingly refuted by the experience of the past two years. So spending cuts in a depressed economy just make the depression deeper. [The New York Times, 5/6/12]
Nobel Economist Stiglitz: "More Austerity" In Europe Is "A Mutual Suicide Pact." A January 17 Telegraph article quoted Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz calling further austerity measures in Europe a "mutual suicide pact" and pointing out that "even though they see over and over again that austerity leads to collapse of the economy," European politicians are calling for "more austerity." From The Telegraph:
Imposing austerity measures as countries slow towards recession is a fundamentally flawed response, said Mr Stiglitz, who won the Nobel prize in 2001 for his work on how markets work inefficiently.
"The answer, even though they see over and over again that austerity leads to collapse of the economy, the answer over and over [from politicians] is more austerity," said Mr Stiglitz to the Asian Financial Forum, a gathering of over 2,000 finance professionals, businessmen and government officials in Hong Kong.
Mr Stiglitz pointed out that 700,000 public sector jobs had been cut in the United States in the past four years, removing demand from the system as unemployment spikes. The UK is set to lose a similar number by 2017.
Instead, Mr Stiglitz argued the best economic medicine is infrastructure spending, especially on transport and energy projects. He pointed to China as one country that had successfully combatted financial crises with stimulus packages. [The Telegraph, 1/17/12]
Christina Romer: "Because Of The Harsh Effect Of Budget Cutting On Growth, Debt-To-G.D.P. Ratios In Europe Have Continued To Rise." In an April 29 New York Times op-ed, Christina Romer, University of California at Berkeley professor and former chairwoman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, noted that "austerity is uniquely destructive" in the current economic climate. From The New York Times:
It has been two years since moves to austerity started, but the crisis is still with us. Growth in European gross domestic product was negative in the last quarter of 2011. Unemployment in the entire euro zone in February was 10.8 percent; in Spain it was an astounding 23.6 percent. And judging from the renewed turbulence in bond markets, investors don't believe that prosperity is just around the corner.
Fiscal austerity is normally a sensible response to a loss in confidence in a country's solvency, as has occurred in parts of Europe. But the current situation is exceptional. Short-term interest rates are very low, so large rate reductions to offset the negative impact of budget cutting are impossible.
The result is that austerity is uniquely destructive right now. Indeed, because of the harsh effect of budget cutting on growth, debt-to-G.D.P. ratios in Europe have continued to rise. [The New York Times, 4/29/12]
Dean Baker: United Kingdom Has "Given Us ... A Beautiful Example Of How Austerity Wrecks An Economy." In a May 1 Al Jazeera op-ed, Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, noted that, in the example of the United Kingdom, "It sure looks like the austerity critics won this one." From Al-Jazeera:
We have now had almost two years to evaluate the effects of the UK's austerity policy, which is longer than most governments get to test the results of their policy experiments. After all, President Obama got his head handed to him in the November 2010 elections, which were just 20 months after the passage of his stimulus package.
It sure looks like the austerity critics won this one. While interest rates have remained low in the UK, this has been true of every wealthy country with its own currency, regardless of whether or not it was pursuing an austerity path.
The UK economy does not appear to have done any better in terms of the rest of the picture. If austerity boosted business leaders' animal spirits, it is not showing up in the data. Nearly every component of the private sector has contracted over the past two quarters with construction leading the way, falling at a 0.8 per cent annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a 12.0 per cent rate in the first quarter of this year.
But there are many people in positions of power who want to push austerity for reasons that have nothing to do with economic growth - and they are prepared to lie, cheat, and steal to advance this agenda. For this reason, however much we may sympathise with the people of the UK for their suffering, we should be thankful that they have given us such a beautiful example of how austerity wrecks an economy. [Al Jazeera, 5/1/12]
Former WH Economist Jared Bernstein: Austerity "Doesn't Work Here, It Doesn't Work In Europe, It Doesn't Work For State And Local Governments." In a May 4 Rolling Stone blog post, Jared Bernstein, a former White House economist and current Center on Budget and Policy Priorities senior fellow, wrote that austerity "doesn't work here, it doesn't work in Europe, it doesn't work for state and local governments." From Rolling Stone:
This just in: AUSTERITY DOESN'T WORK!
It doesn't work here, it doesn't work in Europe, it doesn't work for state and local governments. I'm tempted to ask how many data points we need to recognize this crucial economic truth, but I'm afraid data points don't have much to do with it. [Rolling Stone, 5/4/12]
Financial Times' Chief Economics Commentator Martin Wolf: "Small [Fiscal] Contractions Bring Recessions And Big Contractions Bring Depressions." In an April 27 blog post, Financial Times chief economics commentator Martin Wolf "examine[d] the question" of austerity and found "what I would have expected: the bigger the structural tightening, the larger the fall in GDP." Wolf further pointed out that "small [fiscal] contractions bring recessions and big contractions bring depressions." From the Financial Times:
The result is below. It is what I would have expected: the bigger the structural tightening, the larger the fall in GDP. The estimated fit is fairly good for this sort of calculation. Every percentage point of structural fiscal tightening is estimated to lower GDP by 1.5 per cent of its 2008 level. So the 8 percentage points of structural fiscal tightening in Greece lowered its GDP by 12 per cent.
In all, there is no evidence here that large fiscal contractions bring benefits to confidence and growth that offset the direct effects of the contractions. They bring exactly what one would expect: small contractions bring recessions and big contractions bring depressions.
Finally, since a large number of countries are expected to tighten their fiscal positions substantially in coming years, their economies are likely to contract. How long the political glue will hold in these circumstances is a really interesting question. [Financial Times, 4/27/12]
Fareed Zakaria: "European Economies" That Implemented Austerity Measures "Are Finding Themselves In A Downward Spiral." In an April 22 column, CNN host Fareed Zakaria noted that, compared to European economies, "America is booming." Zakaria attributed the difference to "too much austerity" in European economies. From CNN.com:
A new poll in the United States shows that Americans are still deeply frustrated at the slow pace of the economic recovery. That's understandable. Unemployment stays stubbornly high. But I was just in Europe, and they think America is booming.
Consider this: the U.S. economy is on track to grow between 2 and 3 percent this year. In Europe, by contrast, half the eurozone economies are going to actually shrink this year - and not one major European country will grow over 1%.
Consider that data we started with. The U.S. economy, which received monetary and fiscal stimulus, will grow at well over 2% this year. European economies that have followed the path of cutting spending and raising taxes to reduce deficits are finding themselves in a downward spiral: cutting spending means laying off people, which means less demand for good[s] and services, which means the economy shrinks, which - ironically - means lower tax revenues and thus larger budget deficits.
Take a look at Britain. Britain has followed a brave austerity plan, cutting government spending across the board and raising taxes. The result, British growth has stalled; the economy will grow barely 0.8% this year. And while its budget deficit was predicted to be under 13 billion dollars in February, it was in fact 24 billion dollars for that month alone.
After its austerity programs, Spain has hit 20% unemployment - 50% youth unemployment - and now has a much larger budget deficit than projected.
Europe needs structural reforms that will cut spending over the long term - by raising retirement ages and cutting benefits. But it also needs pro-growth reforms that open up its labor market. But most importantly for now it needs to stop imposing austerity in a depressed economy and learn from something from the example across the Atlantic. [CNN, 4/22/12]

Gastric suction tube, United Kingdom, 1950-1960
Usually referred to as a stomach pump, this device allows the contents of the stomach to be emptied quickly, easily, and most importantly, safely. This is usually done to collect samples for laboratory tests or to empty the stomach in cases of poisoning. The tube is inserted into the nose or mouth and then down into the oesophagus and stomach. The tube is approximately 840 mm long. This type of gastric suction tube was invented by I J Wood and his colleagues at Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne, Australia in 1949.

Testimonial - Retirement Time!
Dear Jon & IH Staff,
Please do not renew my subscription to IHcom. The time has finally come for me to end my stock investing and simply retire to enjoy the benefits of the effort I have made during the last 14 years with you. I am soon to be 66 years old. I no longer have enough energy for the time and attention it takes to have individual stock investments work out.
My priorities have changed. I retired 7 years ago at age 59. I find myself just as busy during retirement, just doing different things. Wise investment has left me financially secure. I have no fear of being unable to fully enjoy the satisfying life these autumn years bring. Thank you for your positive influence in achieving this goal. Freedom from financial insecurity is a wonderful thing.
I certainly enjoyed Jon's Market Commentary. I looked forward to reading it every day. It's funny how I seem to have no time for it anymore. "Chuckle" ...I am preparing to move back to the Lower 48 States from my beloved Alaska. I will meet up with my buddies who have already moved back to MN and CO. We will continue to fish year round and hunt upland game birds in the Fall. We have the goal of visiting all of our Nation's beautiful National Parks. We are very busy simply enjoying each other's company. ...Life is good. Thanks, again, for helping make it all possible.

The Chinese used to view the Forbidden City as the centre of the universe, and with good reason! While Europe was still stuck in the Middle Ages, Beijing saw a huge palace complex arise with thousands of alcoves, rooms and halls. Not only was the Imperial City forbidden to commoners, it was also invisible, hidden behind walls that were 8 metres thick and 10 metres high.
Ming Emperor Yongle ordered the construction of the Forbidden City in the early 15th century. Legend has it that over 1,000,000 workers were involved in the building process. After the rule of Emperor Yongle, the city was home to a further 23 emperors over a period of 5 centuries. Partly due to the movie The Last Emperor, the first time that a film crew was ever allowed inside, the complex is now famous around the world. There is a large portrait of Mao Zedong above the entrance on Tiananmen Square, separated from the Forbidden City by the Gate of Heavenly Peace.
For those who visit the Forbidden City it seems almost unbelievable that something so enormous could remain hidden for five centuries. The complex is now making up for lost time, and the secret world of emperors, harems and eunuchs is visited by some 40,000 visitors a day. Nonetheless, the grandeur of the Forbidden City remains; since 1987 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is maintained accordingly. There's always some part that is undergoing renovations or construction.
Taking in all the riches of the halls, galleries, squares and palaces will take at least a day. Even for a general impression we recommend at least several hours for your visit. Your patience and stamina will be rewarded. If the names are anything to go by, the pleasure is never-ending: after the entrance you'll encounter the Hall of Supreme Harmony, then the Gate of Heavenly Purity, the Palace of Earthly Tranquillity, the Hall of Union, and much more besides. Those who brave the entire extent of the city will also see the Imperial Garden which gives access to even more palaces on both sides. This part of the Forbidden City, often overlooked, is a great place for meandering through a maze of galleries, gates and courtyards.

Every week, Texas on the Potomac presents your favorite postings of the previous week. Today, we offer an encore of the top ten postings for the week ending July 2.
1. Could the Lone Star State turn blue? According to a recently released poll, President Barack Obama would lose Texas to every notable Republican except Gov. Rick Perry and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. If the ballot came down to Perry and Obama, 47 percent of poll respondents said they would vote for Obama. Forty-five percent said they would cast a ballot for Perry. Lauren French reports>>>
2. Known for the bold and sometimes shocking things that come out of his mouth, Glenn Beck may have had a burst of word diarrhea during his interview last week with GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum. Andrea Vasquez reports>>>
3. Gov. Rick Perry vaulted over most of the GOP White House wannabes to claim second place, behind frontrunner Mitt Romney, according to a recent FOX News poll. Lauren French reports>>>
4. After months of wildfires that have scorched more than 1.2 million acres of the Lone Star State, President Obama declared last week the state a "major disaster" area. Richard Dunham reports>>>
5. Texas Sen. John Cornyn criticized the DREAM Act Tuesday at the measure's first-ever Senate hearing, calling it a move that could spur illegal immigration and fraud in the absence of comprehensive immigration reform. Jeanna Smialek reports>>>
6. Gov. Rick Perry flubbed his appearance at the annual gathering of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials in San Antonio, commentator Joe Holley believes. Read the whole opinion piece here>>>
7. Gov. Rick Perry placed the issue of TSA patdowns special session agenda in his continuing campaign against the federal government. But federal officials say any effort to criminalize pat-down searches could shut down commercial air flights out of Texas. Richard Dunham reports>>>
8. The nonpartisan — and influential — Des Moines Register Iowa Poll released last week did not include Perry in its presidential match-up led by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. But when Perry was included among a larger group of potential contenders, he had higher "net favorable" ratings than any other figure. Lauren French reports>>>
9. Speculation that astronaut Mark Kelly, the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., might run for retiring Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl's seat or Giffords' seat if she stepped down arose when the four-shuttle commander announced last month he plans to retire from NASA and the Navy on Oct. 1. Lauren French reports>>>
10. Gov. Rick Perry spoke at a private summit in Colorado Sunday hosted by Charles and David Koch, billionaire businessmen who have liberally funded conservative, pro-energy and anti-union causes. Lauren French reports>>>

Welcome to The French Creek Watershed
One of America's "Last Great Places"
Flowing through the heart of Northwest Pennsylvania, French Creek is nationally recognized as one of the most ecologically important waterways in the entire country. Hosting an astonishing 27 species of native freshwater mussels, and over 80 species of fish, the Nature Conservancy has called the French Creek Watershed one of America's "Last Great Places".
Originating in Chautauqua County, NY, French Creek flows 117 miles through the rolling hills and valleys of Pennsylvania until its confluence with the Allegheny River in Franklin. Rich in historical significance, incredible biodiversity, and recreational opportunities, the French Creek Watershed is truly a community treasure.

The usual length of stay in the hospital is 3-4 days if you are having a gastric bypass, 2-3 days if you are having a sleeve gastrectomy, and one day if you are having the adjustable gastric band. The vast majority of patients stay in the hospital for less than five days.
You should expect to be out of work for 4-6 weeks after having a gastric bypass and 2-4 weeks if having a sleeve gastrectomy or adjustable gastric banding.
You will have an appointment with your surgeon about two weeks after your surgery and regularly after that to examine your incisions and discuss common postoperative concerns.
Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy patients follow-up with the surgeon again at 6 weeks and approximately every 3 months after that for the first year. After this period, yearly follow-up visits with your surgeon's office are strongly recommended.
Adjustable gastric banding patients will meet with the surgeon and/or physician assistant at 6 weeks and generally every 1-2 months for band adjustments, as needed.
Laboratory tests will be required on a regular basis to evaluate for vitamin and mineral deficiencies or other concerns.
After weight loss surgery, you must adjust to a new way of eating, changing old behavior patterns, and a shifting body image. Long-term follow-up and continued emotional support are essential for a successful weight loss surgery outcome. You are encouraged to attend the Lourdes Bariatric Support Group. The support groups give patients the opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge while supporting one another through the postoperative process. We require that ALL patients attend at least three weight loss surgery support groups before surgery.
What about my diet after surgery?
The diet after weight loss surgery is very important part of the weight loss surgery process. You will meet regularly with the nutritionist before and after surgery to help you understand the diet in detail. You will progress through a series of dietary stages ranging from liquids to soft foods to solids. This diet progression will ensure that you are eating safely and nutritiously. Because weight loss surgery puts you at risk for nutritional deficiencies, you will also be required to take a multivitamin and calcium supplements every day for the rest of your life. You will receive a detailed dietary booklet outlining the postoperative diet and vitamin recommendations.
You will meet with the nutritionist approximately 2-3 weeks after surgery. At this time, the postoperative diet progression will be reviewed again. You will follow-up with the nutritionist again at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. After that, yearly follow-up is strongly recommended for long term success and to have nutritional parameters checked.

Our Final Day
*sequel to 5 Days* After all Bella and Becky had been through the first four days, how could there be anything worst to happen on the fifth?
Sadly I do not own any of the Twilight characters, they all belong to Stephenie Meyer. Also, the five cursed days thing is all Dean Koontz Oh, I said I was going to call this story Breaking Boundries but I changed my mind.
1. Chapter 1
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 1967 Review this Chapter
"You're not seriously going to make me do this by myself are you?" I asked Jacob, faking the franticness in my voice. "You're going to just abandon me to suffer through the public school system while you get to go run around and play with a bunch of dogs. This just doesn't sound fair,"
Jacob chuckled as he moved through the adjoining bathroom back into our room. We had a beautiful, over sized room in the Cullen's household in the town Hightens in Rhode Island. It is a classic European style mansion, five stories with a separate two story guest house two hundred yards from the main house. It was a creamy white color with chocolate brown accents. We had a brick driveway and a grey stone fence going around the property. Esme had done a wonderful job restoring it. It was way too much but the Cullens love to live in luxury. "Have you seen my keys?" he asked.
Somehow we ended up with the biggest room in the whole house. Our room was actually two stories. It was located on the second floor and went up to the third. The roof that separated the two stories had been taken out so we had an extremely high ceiling. The north wall was painted a dark beige color while the other three were a lighter beige. We had a white carpet with a grey rug placed in the center. There was a mahogany frame for our bed and we had matching dressers and side table. We had gold comforter and sheets with bronze colored pillows. There were three feet wide windows in our room that ran from the floor, all the way to the top of our two story ceiling to make the room even more light and open.
You could still reach our room from the third story floor. On the east and south side, there was still part of the ceiling from the second floor that was cut out to be used as a pathway along the wall so you could walk in and view our room. Besides that, there wasn't really much use for the pathway except it did look cool.
"Why don't you just take my car? Then at least you'll have something to remind me of how heartlessly you're leaving me behind!" I cried in a fake voice, like a bad actress trying out for the main character's role in a school play all the while fighting to keep from smiling.
"Becky, stop being melodramatic,"
That time I couldn't help it. My face broke into a smile and I said to him, "Why? It's fun. You should try it sometime."
"Not now. Maybe later." He ran his hand through his hair. I noticed this is something he did when he thought things weren't going as smoothly as he would like.
"Why are you driving anyways? Couldn't you just run?" I asked Jacob.
"Driving would be easier and unlike you, humans don't take too kindly towards seeing a giant wolf running through their city." Oh, yah. I didn't think about that.
"Are you sure you don't want to bring me with you to La Push?" I asked giving him my best puppy eyes and cutest pout.
"Positive," he said, immune to me. You just can't pull off the puppy dog face with an actually wolf. "Don't you remember what happened last time?"
I flinched perfectly recalling what had happened last time I came with him to meet up with the pack. Neither Leah nor Paul had not taken to me kindly though the rest of them took me in with as much good grace as they could manage. Things kind of got worst when Brady asked me what the tattoos on my arm were and I had to be stupid enough to tell him the truth.
Being with Jacob had always promised to bring trouble. Luckily, I had been able to disguise his smell from the rest of the Cullens and made it so he couldn't smell them. Jasper and Bella were also keeping tabs on everyone's emotions so a fight wouldn't break out. I am forever grateful that the Cullens had let Jake move in with them.
Besides the smell and the instinct to kill each other, another problem with Jake was the aging thing. There was no way we could have him phasing with all of us vampires around and if he didn't phase in a long enough time period he would start aging again. I had considered having Jacob turned into a vampire although I quickly pushed that thought away. I don't think he would ever want to that, no matter how much he loved me. So the solution we came up with was since Jacob was still second in command in the La Push pack see as Emily refused to allow Sam to step down so he was still the pack leader, once every week he would go and visit them and patrol with them for a day before coming back. This way he refrained from aging and he also got to be with his old friends.
"Do you know where my keys are?" he asked me again, checking the pockets of one of his jackets.
I sighed. "In the long dresser, second drawer down on the right."
Jake pushed his eyebrows together but followed my directions and discovered the key to his car. "What are they doing in here?"
"I put them in there in pathetic attempt to keep you here longer." I admitted. We rarely keep anything from each other. It was an unspoken concept.
Jacob's eye immediately melted and he walked over to our bed where I was sitting cross legged, climbed on, and embraced me. "You know I don't want to leave as much as you want me to but I have to." He kissed my forehead.
I looked up at him; even though we were sitting he was still much taller than me. "I promise to behave if you take me. I won't make any wise crack or be a smart ass. I'll even take a nice, new, bright rubber ball for them to play with." I smirked at the image of watching a group of giant, mutant werewolves chasing after a bouncy ball.
"And you wonder why they don't think you're an angel," Jacob muttered under his breath.
"Excuse me," I foreigned shock. "What was that you said?"
"Nothing," Jacob said in an innocent voice.
"You really want to go? Cause I can think of a few things we could do that would be a whole lot more fun," I told him wrapping my legs around his waist leaving a trail of kisses starting under his ear traveling across his jaw.
Jacob groaned. "You don't play fair." He complained.
I snickered. "Never said I did."
Jacob untangled himself from me and I pouted again. "You know that's technically illegal seeing as you're only seventeen and I'm forty-two." He told me. He was right, I was turned when I was seventeen but he looked like a twenty-five year old.
"But you know I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't a little bit illegal. And you're the best looking forty-two year old I've ever seen"
Jacob laughed. "Bye Beck," he kissed me one last time and left the room. I fell back down backward onto the bed. Today was going to be a long day.
"I think I might actually kill myself," I announced to Bella, Edward, and Alice. We had just finished our fourth period, English and were walking to the lunch room where Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper were waiting. English had to be the more boring subject this whole school had to offer. Bella, for some unfathomable reason, actually liked it. To me, she actually seemed to like being here. Or maybe it was she was with Edward. Maybe if Jake was here with me this whole ordeal would be slightly more tolerable but he wasn't. Or maybe if I had gotten into chemistry class I would have something to look forward towards. At least in that class you had the chance of blowing something up.
I had no clue why we were even going to school. Hightens High School. I hated school as a human so what would make me like it anymore as a vampire. But there really wasn't much else to do. Also, Bella and I had used the school excuse as to why we wouldn't stay any longer in Voltaire.
We had to cut through the parking lot to get from the English building where Alice, Edward, Bella, and my class had been held. Some all boring stuff that I'd already learned before. This was about the five hundredth time the Cullens were going through high school. I wonder how they stand it. It was just my first day and I could barely take it.
Edward and Bella were talking to each other in a low voice. They were married now. We all could tell that was going to happen. The wedding was beautiful and extremely lavish- in other words, very Cullen styled. Jake and I weren't married. I don't know why. We just didn't get around to it and my other marriage didn't have the happiest ending. Alice was prattling on to me about some shopping trip she wanted to take me, Bella, and Rosalie on in New York City. I wasn't paying strict attention. I was staring down at my feet as I walked through the light mist. I noticed the writing on the asphalt.
Where the speed bumps were was written in bright yellow paint CAUTION: BUMPS. Except someone had taken black paint and had painted over part of the B so it now said CAUTION: hUMPS.
"Charming," I observed to the others. Secretly, I was thinking 'amateur'. I could have come up with something much better than that. But Carlisle had taken me aside and we had a talk about how my behavior had been when I was a human teenager. He had told me how essential it was that we keep a low profile. He told me I had to try my hardest and bare through it. He said that it ever became too hard for me, that I could take a day off from school though I knew from his thoughts that he was more thinking about my resistance against human blood.
I was doing fine so far. I had hunted just two days ago so I was good. I was slightly using Bella was a crutch but I knew I would eventually have to stop relying on her. It was low and pathetic but I was taking slight reassurance in the fact that Jasper struggled as much, even more, than I did.
We reached the cafeteria and joined the others. We bought the food we would never eat to keep up with our charade. Food reminded me of Jacob. He was the only one of us who could eat or sleep and do all of those human things. If I kept this, I was going to develop serious separation anxiety issues.
The five minute bell sounded. Only two more classes of utter boredom to endure. We rose soundlessly and threw away our untouched trays. We split up; Emmett, Jasper, Edward, and I heading off to physics while Alice, Rosalie, and Bella got to go to chemistry. Lucky.
"Ready for more hell?" Emmett muttered under his breath. Scary, I was just about to ask that. We rounded the corner of a building and I couldn't believe what I saw.

Tuna Meatballs in Bouillabaise Broth
- Serves 6-8
- Brian Streeter
- Pairs well with:
- Chardonnay, Napa Valley
Chef Brian Streeter's recipe for these lush Tuna Meatballs are the perfect complement to Cakebread Cellars' Napa Valley Chardonnay. The tuna matches the intensity and body of the our Chardonnay, while the flavors of saffron, fennel, tomato, and white wine in the bouillabaisse broth complement the bright lemon and fresh fruit flavors of the wine.
1 c. fresh breadcrumbs
½ c. milk
1 ½ lbs. yellowfin tuna, diced
2 oz. pancetta, minced
1 large egg
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T. flat leaf parsley, chopped
Pinch fennel pollen(optional)
salt and pepper
1 small onion, sliced thin
1 bulb fennel, sliced thin
3 cloves garlic, slivered
3 T. olive oil
1 ½ c. peeled plum tomatoes, crushed
½ c. white wine
Pinch saffron
Pinch espelette pepper or cayenne
4 c. fish stock or clam broth
1 bay leaf
2 thyme sprigs
16 manila or littleneck clams
24 mussels, scrubbed
2 oz. Spanish chorizo, sliced thin
1 lb. fregola pasta (Sardinian pasta), cooked
3 T. flat leaf parsley, chopped
Tuna Meatballs:
Soak the breadcrumbs in milk to soften for 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze off the milk. Dice the tuna into one-inch pieces and place in the work bowl of a food processor. Add the pancetta, egg, garlic, parsley, fennel pollen, salt and pepper. Pulse in the processor to chop the tuna into small pieces and to evenly distribute the ingredients. Be careful not to over process. Portion into about 20 pieces. Rub olive oil on the palms of your hands and roll into round balls. Set aside on a sheet pan.
Bouillabaise Broth:
To make the broth, heat a wide bottom pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, fennel and garlic until soft. Add the tomato and white wine to the pan. Bring to a simmer. Add the saffron and espelette pepper. Cook for 5 minutes to reduce. Add the fish stock, bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Slowly simmer for 30 minutes and pass through a food mill.
Clean the clams and mussels. Discard any that are open. Cover with cold water and soak for 15 minutes to rid them of sand. Drain and set aside.
To Serve:
To serve, heat wide bottom pan over high heat. Add the remaining olive oil and sear the meatballs on two sides. Add the broth, the clams and mussels to the pan. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until clams and mussels are open and meatballs are cooked through. Place the cooked fregola pasta into the bottom of 6 warm bowls. Ladle the broth into the bowls with two to three meatballs and garnish with the clams and mussels, Spanish chorizo and chopped parsley.

Shares of Suncor Energy Inc. took a hit on Wednesday after the company's fourth quarter earnings missed analyst estimates and it took a $1.5-billion charge related to the Voyageur upgrader project.
The selling pressure is also likely due to Suncor's announcement that it recently received a letter from the Canada Revenue Agency relating to the income tax treatment of losses incurred in 2007 on the settlement of old Petro-Canada derivatives contracts.
"Essentially, the CRA is challenging tax losses carried forward associated with the loss realized on the settlement of the old hedges that were put in place and settled by Petro-Canada," Canaccord Genuity analyst Phil Skolnick explained.
While Suncor disagrees with the CRA's position and is confident it will be able to defend its original filing, Mr. Skolnick suggested that the CRA may move to issue a notice of reassessment to increase the amount payable by approximately $1.2-billion, or 78¢ per share.
Despite Suncor's objection, the analyst said it would have to make a minimum payment of 50% of the amount payable under the notice of reassessment. That is estimated at $600-million and would remain in place under the dispute is settled.
"Suncor believes this could be resolved soon enough to allow for clarity on dividend upside potential in late April; however, we believe near term it will be an overhang on the stock," Mr. Skolnick said in a research note.
"Nevertheless, it is very likely the company has received sound advice from various legal and tax professionals to allow it to state that it believes it won't see any increased taxes. As such, this could create a good buying opportunity," he added.
The analyst also emphasized the implications this has on the broader Canadian energy industry as the CRA looks "anywhere and everywhere for tax grabs."
Athabasca Oil Corp., for example, is already being reviewed for the capital treatment of its 2010 joint venture with PetroChina and capital dividend.

WMF Cromargan® Protect Technology
Cutlery that always looks as good as new even after years of use – no longer just wishful thinking but now a reality. WMF Cromargan protect means the surface of the cutlery items always looks flawless. The passing of time hardly leaves a trace, even after extended use.
When WMF was the first company to use stainless steel for the manufacturing of cutlery and household appliances more than 80 years ago, this marked the start of one of the most progressive chapters in the history of cooking and housekeeping. The material, which is known by the name Cromargan®, cannot tarnish, is rustproof, acid-resistant, unbreakable, easy to clean and so is extremely durable.
150 years after its first cutlery model was launched onto the market, in 2009 WMF introduced cutlery finished with Cromargan protect. Cromargan protect is produced using a thermochemical treatment process. This involves adding nitrogen to stainless steel at high temperatures, which penetrates into the material and results in a much harder surface after it cools down. This makes the material extremely resistant against signs of wear, and means it still looks as good as new even after years of use. Even intensive use and frequent cleaning in the dishwasher has no adverse effects. Polished surfaces never lose their shine, and matt surfaces stay matt. A brilliant innovation, which is patented and internationally protected by the WMF brand.
Your cutlery stays looking as beautiful as on the day you bought it.
Extremely resistant to scratches and signs of wear and tear
Polished surfaces stay shiny, matt finishes stay matt.
Knife blades made of high-grade special blade stay sharp for longer
Rustproff and dishwasher safe.
Unique WMF design that gives you pleasure every day.

text: I have been trying to eat a little healthier, so I have been looking for for new inspirations to help me feel full longer. I have incorporated flax seeds and chia seeds into almost everything I eat since they they are literally flavorless, good for me, I don't even know they are in things and it has helped me feel full. I do tend to get bored eating the same thing all the time though, so I like to try new things. When I first tried quinoa, I really liked it. If you are not familiar with quinoa, it is a grain and it is cooked similar to rice. It does not have a lot of flavor, so as a side dish I like to add some chicken broth, craisens and some vegetables. Since I figured it was so versatile I thought why not add some cinnamon and brown sugar. I may even try some maple syrup as a substitute next time, but this was really good, very satisfying, something different than oatmeal, better for me and really stuck with me all morning, even after a workout. Breakfast Quinoa - Serves 2 1 3/4 C skim milk, 1 C quinoa, 3 TB brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 C Greek yogurt or lowfat yogurt, and 1 C fresh fruit Bring milk to a boil in a saucepan. Add quinoa and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered until about three quarters of the milk has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Cook, covered until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add yogurt and fruit and enjoy!

I taught quilling decades ago. There are no limits. One student created a grand piano, others made doll house furniture and wall decorations for doll houses. Combined with other art and craft medias possibilities are endless. And very inexpensive just paper, a dab of glue and a creative mind. Delighted to see it return.

U have created a monster. Once u start it becomes addicting. All my Christmas gifts have a quilled design on it that I made special for each one. It's also a great way to relax while I'm watching T.V. THANKS soooo much!

I don't know you, but for me, images are very important. A text without an image, is like a sky without stars. For this reason, I like this post with several ressources, maybe you too! [note Martin Gysler]
"Hey, I've seen that image before. Actually, I've seen it many times before."
Images allow you to express what words can't.
They draw the viewer in and elicit an emotional impact, providing your users with information while confirming that what your selling or promoting is real.
There are many affordable options available to purchase stock photography. This may be a blessing or a curse. Affordability often comes at the cost of originality.
It's important to consider your ideals and the image's ability to illustrate a concept perfectly. But consider originality as well. You wouldn't want to fall into the trap of using cliche imagery because it's easy and convenient.

Resco has released MobileForms Toolkit 2009, a set of components and tools for mobile devices optimized for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
"The Touch screen enabled applications are not just trendy but very relevant in business situations," says Resco's Ivan Stano. "The Resco MobileForms Toolkit 2009 is designed to maximize developer productivity when dealing with Touch functionality enabled applications. "
The MobileForms Toolkit controls contain some powerful features which make them a perfect choice for mobile application development. Special optimizations ensure that all components provide sufficient application performance even on devices with limited memory and processor capabilities.
The Touch Scroll feature lets useres scroll the contents of MobileForms Toolkit controls comfortably using a thumb. Although Windows Mobile does not have a native support of touch scrolling in its API, the only thing developers need to do to take advantage of Touch Scroll is to turn on one property in Visual Studio designer.
Supported controls include:
- AdvancedList for .NET - vertical scrolling
- AdvancedTree for .NET - vertical scrolling
- SmartGrid for .NET - vertical and horizontal scrolling
- OutlookShortcutBar for .NET - vertical scrolling
- OutlookMonthCalendar for .NET - horizontal by months/years
- OutlookWeekCalendar for .NET - vertical by hours, horizontal by days/weeks
DelayLoad functionality lets you load huge amounts of data from a data source in a short time. When the control is displayed, only the currently displayed data is loaded. Additional data is loaded as needed. Supported controls include:
- AdvancedList for .NET
- AdvancedTree for .NET
- SmartGrid for .NET
The design and look of the control can be saved into an XML file either using the Visual Studio designer or the Resco designer application. The XML file can be then loaded back into the control at any time (also during run-time). This means the appearance of the control can be changed simply by calling a single LoadXml method.

So, I know my neighbors probably think I'm a bit of a freak with my seasonal decorating, but I can't help myself. This is the second year for my little leprechaun and I tweaked it a little by adding a rainbow. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but it will work. Next year I think I'll cut a rainbow out of wood with my jigsaw, just so my neighbors know I'm truly nuts.
This little leprechaun wanted to get in on the action when he saw the camera out.

Yesterday we covered the story of an RIAA-style legal crackdown on Singapore anime downloaders. One of the strangest aspects of the story was that the anime distributor Odex claimed to have engaged US firm BayTSP to track illicit downloads but then failed to convince a Singapore judge that BayTSP had even been hired by Odex at all. Now, in an effort to clear up the matter, it appears that BayTSP's CEO Mark Ishikawa will show up in Singapore this week to help Odex make its appeal.
After coming up with a list of several thousand Singapore IP addresses that it claimed had been used to download anime content from BitTorrent, Odex went to court in an attempt to force three ISPs to turn over information about the users behind those IP addresses. The first two cases were successful, but the company ran into problems with the third case against local ISP PacNet.
The judge in that case ruled that Odex was neither the copyright owner nor the "exclusive licensee" for all but one of the anime titles mentioned in the complaint and therefore had no standing to bring the case. He also found that there was no evidence that Odex had actually hired BayTSP and so cast doubt on the evidence collected by the company.
Now, according to Singapore's Today newspaper, Mark Ishikawa of BayTSP will arrive in Singapore later this week as Odex makes its appeal. It appears that BayTSP was hired after all, and did in fact draw up the list of IP addresses that Odex used. How the company will handle the "exclusive licensee" issue isn't clear.
Singapore's not a huge place, so it's no surprise that members of our forum know people who have received letters from Odex. The whole campaign has provoked outrage in the anime community as bloggers accuse Odex of shoveling out low-quality, poorly-translated video on VCDs (only a few releases are available on DVD) then suing those who choose to download fan-subtitled copies from the Internet instead.
