The saga continues for and Kevin Hunter as the disillusion of their marriage plays for out the media. Recently, Williams has been spotted hitting concert stages and getting her groove back on the arm of her 27-year-old boyfriend. As much as she's channeling her inner Lil Duval as she's on her quest to live her best life, the 54-year-old talk show host TMZ cameramen as she spoke about her divorce.
Williams stated that Hunter had her "cooped up only to be a show pony," and now TMZ reports that Hunter is stating that isn't true. According to Hunter, Williams was just lazy; all she wanted to do was work at the studio and go home. While he wanted to hit the town and walk red carpets, Williams didn't put in any effort into having a life outside of work and only wanted to lay around the house.
These minor issues are of the iceberg for these two as their divorce proceedings roll on. Of course, the rumors that Hunter fathered a child with his mistress are the crux of their split. TMZ reports that Hunter not only , but he also carried on a relationship with her for 15 years. Keep in mind, he was married to Williams for 22 years and their son is 19.

Just like garage door springs, your door's rollers are rated by cycles, however many factors need to be considered when determining the life cycle of your particular garage door rollers. These factors include type of rollers you have, your door's weight, and how often the door is opened and closed.

Hunter Pence had a two-run single to cap a three-run uprising with two outs in the seventh inning as the visiting Giants erased an early deficit to complete a three-game sweep of the Houston Astros with an 8-4 victory Thursday.
Brandon Belt matched a career high with four hits and capped his impressive night with an RBI double in the ninth inning. Joaquin Arias homered and Pablo Sandoval drove in a pair of runs as San Francisco posted its 10th win in 13 outings.
Ryan Vogelsong (12-7) picked up the victory despite being lifted for a pinch-hitter with his team trailing by one run to start the seventh. Vogelsong yielded four runs on seven hits and struck out seven in six innings.
Three relievers combined to work three scoreless innings to preserve the victory — with Sergio Romo striking out Justin Maxwell to end the game and pick up his eighth save.
After two quick outs in the seventh inning, Marco Scutaro doubled and came around to score on Sandoval's RBI single to tie the game at 4-4. Sandoval later advanced to third after a pair of wild pitches were sandwiched around an intentional walk to Buster Posey. Pence then brought both runners home with a single to shallow center.
Fernando Rodriguez (1-9) yielded all three runs in the inning to take the loss.
Tyler Greene homered and Jason Castro and Jimmy Paredes added run-scoring base hits for the Astros, who lost their fifth straight and 12th in 13 outings. Matt Dominguez, who was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to the game, scored on Brian Bogusevic's sacrifice fly in the second inning.

For the refreshments we had a frozen yogurt bar. Well, technically it was an ice cream bar because the fro yo machine didn't work out last minute, but the toppings were the same.
I made the invites using photoshop (clip art from Rifle Paper!) and then the striped envelopes are from Lola Louie Paperie on Etsy. They're in the papaya color.)
I loved these advice cards from Tiny Prints. (They don't originally come with that saying but you can customize them to say anything you want.) I didn't use these for the shower because they didn't come in time but I'm going to keep them around for the next one for sure. If there is another one that is!
The flowers were done by the floral shop right by Day's Market in Provo. The girl that works there is amazing!! I wish I knew her name. She's done both showers so far and I've been so impressed with her, I brought here these 3 pictures and she helped me with the rest. And then of course my amazing mom did the floral arrangements. She took one class years ago and she's still amazing at it.
Congrats Kiera and Zach!

Call of a Disciple
Matthew 9:9-13
As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector's booth. "Follow me and be my disciple," Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with such scum?"
When Jesus heard this, he said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do." Then he added, "Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: 'I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.' For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."
(Matthew 9:9-13)
Matthew was a Jew who was appointed by the Romans to be the area's tax collector. He collected taxes from the citizens as well as from merchants passing through town. Tax collectors were expected to take a commission on the taxes they collected, but most of them overcharged and kept the profits. Thus, tax collectors were hated by the Jews because of their reputation for cheating and because of their support of Rome.
When Jesus called Matthew to be one of his disciples, Matthew got up and followed, leaving his lucrative career. When he visited Matthew, Jesus hurt his own reputation. Matthew was cheating the people, but Jesus found and changed him.
The Pharisees constantly tried to trap Jesus, and they thought his association with tax collectors like Matthew and other "disreputable sinners" (9:10) was the perfect opportunity. They were more concerned with their own appearance of holiness than with helping people, with criticism than encouragement, with outward respectability than practical help. But God is concerned for all people, including the sinful and hurting ones.
When God calls you to follow or obey him, do you do it with as much abandon as Matthew? Sometimes the decision to follow Christ requires difficult or painful choices. Like Matthew, we must decide to leave behind those things that would keep us from following Christ. Following Jesus' example, we can share the gospel with the poor, immoral, lonely, and outcast, not just the rich, moral, popular, and powerful. We should not be afraid to reach out to people who are living in sin—God's message can change anyone. What will you do to reach others for Christ?

They can be found on the Tax Division pages of the AICPA Web site at tinyurl.com/5be2rk. The SSTSs are enforceable rules of conduct for AICPA members, in conjunction with the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct Rule 201, General Standards, and Rule 202, Compliance With Standards.
The current SSTSs, issued in 2000, closely mirror the earlier Statements on Responsibilities in Tax Practice (SRTPs), advisory opinions originally issued in the 1960s and 1970s. The SRTPs gradually became considered standards of professional practice, and in the late 1990s, the AICPA recognized a need to make them an official part of what were then known as the Professional Standards . At the time, the SSTSs introduced only minimal revisions to the SRTPs, because of the latter's long use and, therefore, concerns over enforceability of new standards. Since then, however, further changes in federal and state tax laws and regulations and a need for clarification of a number of points prompted the Tax Executive Committee in 2004 to convene a task force that over the next four years produced the proposed revised SSTSs.
Some of the most notable revisions were to SSTS no. 1, Tax Return Positions, since it had been much affected by legal and regulatory amendments. Also, the proposed consolidation of SSTS no. 6 and SSTS no. 7 deserves careful review. A red-lined draft showing the current version with the proposed revisions is available on the Tax Division Web site. Here is a brief summary of new features:
SSTS no. 1, Tax Return Positions. statement provides the AICPA standards members must satisfy to recommend a tax return position and to sign a tax return. For nondisclosed positions recommended by a member, this statement has been revised to clarify that the tax return reporting standard of the applicable taxing authority must be satisfied; if the taxing authority has no written standard or its written standard is lower than the realistic-possibility-of-success standard for nondisclosed positions, the realistic-possibility-of-success standard will apply. The revisions also note that for federal returns, members should consult the tax return preparer standard in IRC § 6694 or its successor.
Generally, if a taxing authority has a standard for nondisclosed positions, it will also provide that if disclosure is made, the position may be recommended based on a lower standard. Current SSTS no. 1 provides that a member may recommend a disclosed position if the position is not frivolous. The revisions direct members to comply with the taxing authority's standard for disclosed positions or, if there is no such standard or the standard is lower than a reasonable basis for recommending a position, the reasonable-basis standard will apply. The revisions also emphasize the requirement that members advise clients of the taxpayer return disclosure requirements and how taxpayers may avoid penalties through disclosure.
SSTS no. 2, Answers to Questions on Returns. The revisions give another reason why preparers signing a tax return should make a reasonable effort to obtain answers to all questions on a tax return: "A request for information may require a disclosure necessary for a complete return or to avoid penalties."
SSTS no. 3, Certain Procedural Aspects of Preparing Returns. No substantive revisions, only language clarifications, are proposed for this statement.
SSTS no. 4, Use of Estimates. "Natural disaster" is added to fire and computer failure as examples of unusual circumstances in which a disclosure should be made that an estimate has been used in preparing a tax return.
SSTS no. 5, Departure From a Position Previously Concluded in an Administrative Proceeding or Court Decision. Language is clarified that whenever a member recommends a tax return position different from one determined with respect to a taxpayer's previous return by an administrative proceeding or court decision, the member must do so within the strictures of SSTS no. 1, Tax Return Positions.
SSTS no. 6, Knowledge of Error: Return Preparation and Administrative Proceedings . Extensive revisions add "administrative proceedings" to the statement's title and incorporate into this statement the current SSTS no. 7, Knowledge of Error: Administrative Proceedings, which is stricken entirely. In the current SSTSs, certain language is duplicated between the two statements, and other passages are similar but not identical. The consolidation is meant to clarify similarities and differences within the respective contexts of return preparation and administrative proceedings, where a member becomes aware of an error in a return or a taxpayer's failure to file a required return. Under current SSTS no. 6 and SSTS no. 7, upon becoming aware of an error, the member is required to advise the taxpayer of the error and recommend that the error be corrected. Revised SSTS no. 6 requires the member to also explain to the taxpayer the potential consequences of the error.
SSTS no. 7, Form and Content of Advice to Taxpayers . The revised statement, renumbered from its current no. 8, clarifies that a member should comply with the relevant taxing authority's requirements, if any, in giving advice and provides additional factors in determining the form of advice: the type of transaction and its reporting or disclosure requirements, the potential penalty consequences of the position that is the subject of the advice, whether any potential penalty can be avoided through disclosure, and whether the member intends for the taxpayer to rely upon the advice to avoid potential penalties. It also notes that written, as opposed to oral, advice may be more appropriate when advising on substantial dollar value transactions.
The Tax Executive Committee may adopt the revised SSTSs as proposed or may modify them based on the comments received. The Tax Division intends to update and revise accompanying interpretations after the revised SSTSs have been adopted.
Note: Comments on the proposed revised SSTSs are due by May 15. Please e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Edward S. Karl, Director, AICPA Tax Division, File: SSTS Comments, 1455 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington DC 2004-1081.

September 8, 2005Jazz Musicians Ask if Their Scene Will SurviveBy BEN RATLIFF, New York TimesNew Orleans is a jazz town, but also a funk town, a brass-band town, a hip-hop town and a jam-band town. It has international jazz musicians and hip-hop superstars, but also a true, subsistence-level street culture. Much of its music is tied to geography and neighborhoods, and crowds.
All that was incontrovertibly true until a week ago Monday. Now the future for brass bands and Mardi Gras Indians, to cite two examples, looks particularly bleak if their neighborhoods are destroyed by flooding, and bleaker still with the prospect of no new tourists coming to town soon to infuse their traditions with new money. Although the full extent of damage is still unknown, there is little doubt that it has been severe - to families, to instruments, to historical records, to clubs, to costumes. "Who knows if there exists a Mardi Gras Indian costume anymore in New Orleans?" wondered Don Marshall, director of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Foundation.
"A lot of the great musicians came right out of the Treme neighborhood and the Lower Ninth Ward," said the trumpeter Kermit Ruffins, temporarily speaking in the past tense, by phone from Houston yesterday. Mr. Ruffins, one of the most popular jazz musicians in New Orleans, made his name there partly through his regular Thursday-night gig over the last 12 years at Vaughan's, a bar in the Bywater neighborhood, where red beans and rice were served at midnight. Now Vaughn's may be destroyed, and so may his new house, which is not too far from the bar.
On Saturday evening Mr. Ruffins flew back to New Orleans from a gig in San Diego, having heard the first of the dire storm warnings. He stopped at a lumberyard to buy wood planks, boarded up 25 windows on his house, then went bar-hopping and joked with his friends that where they were standing might be under water the next day.
The next morning he fled to Baton Rouge with his family, and now he is in Houston, about to settle into apartments, along with more than 30 relatives. He is being offered plenty of work in Houston, and is already thinking ahead to what he calls "the new New Orleans."
"I think the city is going to wind up being a smaller area," he said. "They'll have to build some super levees.
"I think this will never happen again once they get finished," Mr. Ruffins added. "We're going to get those musicians back, the brass bands, the jazz funerals, everything."
Brass bands function through the year - not only through the annual Jazzfest, where many outsiders see them, and jazz funerals, but at the approximately 55 social aid and pleasure clubs, each of which holds a parade once a year. It is an intensely local culture, and has been thriving in recent years. Brass-band music, funky and hard-hitting, can easily be transformed from the neighborhood social to a club gig; brass bands like Rebirth, Dirty Dozen and the Soul Rebels have done well by touring as commercial entities. Members of Stooges Brass Band have ended up in Atlanta, and of Li'l Rascals in Houston; there could be a significant brass-band diaspora before musicians find a way to get home to New Orleans. (Rebirth's Web site, www.rebirthbrassband.com, has been keeping a count of brass-band musicians who have been heard from.)
The Mardi Gras Indian tradition is more fragile. Monk Boudreaux is chief of the Golden Eagles, one of the 40 or so secretive Mardi Gras tribes, who are known not just for their flamboyant feathered costumes but for their competitive parades through neighborhoods at Mardi Gras time. (Mardi Gras Indians are not American Indians but New Orleanians from the city's working-class black neighborhoods.) Mr. Boudreaux, now safe with his daughter in Mesquite, Tex., stayed put through the storm at his house in the Uptown neighborhood; when he left last week, he said, the water was waist-high. He chuckled when asked if the Mardi Gras Indian tradition could survive in exile. "I don't know of any other Mardi Gras outside of New Orleans," he said.
These days a city is often considered a jazz town to the extent that its resident musicians have international careers. The bulk of New Orleans jazz musicians have shown a knack for staying local. (Twenty or so in the last two decades, including several Marsalises, are obvious exceptions.)
But as everyone knows, jazz is crucial to New Orleans, and New Orleans was crucial in combining jazz's constituent parts, its Spanish, French, Caribbean and West African influences. The fact that so many musicians are related to one or another of the city's great music families - Lastie, Brunious, Neville, Jordan, Marsalis - still gives much of the music scene a built-in sense of nobility. "Whereas New York has a jazz industry," said Quint Davis, director of Jazzfest, "New Orleans has a jazz culture." (Speaking of Jazzfest, Mr. Davis was not ready to discuss whether there will be a festival next April. "First I'm dealing with the lives and subsistence of the people who produce it," he said. [Since this article ran, they announced that the Fest will take place somewhere in Louisiana next April-steve k])
And most jazz in New Orleans has a directness about it. "Everyone isn't searching for the hottest, newest lick," said Maurice Brown, a young trumpeter from Chicago who had been rising through the ranks of the New Orleans jazz scene for the last four years before the storm took his house and car. "People are trying to stay true to the melody."
Gregory Davis, the trumpeter and vocalist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, one of the city's most successful groups, said the typical New Orleans musician was vulnerable because of how he lives and works. (Mr. Davis's house is in the Gentilly neighborhood; he spoke last week from his brother's home in Dallas.)
"A lot of these guys who are playing out there in the clubs are not home owners," he said. "They're going to be at the mercy of the owners of those properties. For some of them, playing in the clubs was the only means of earning any money. If those musicians come back and don't have an affordable home, that's a big blow."
Louis Edwards, a New Orleans novelist and an associate producer of the Jazz and Heritage Festival, said, "No other city is so equipped to deal with this." A French Quarter resident, Mr. Edwards was taking refuge last week at his mother's house in Lake Charles, La.
"Think of the jazz funeral," he said. "In New Orleans we respond to the concept of following tragedy with joy. That's a powerful philosophy to have as the underpinning of your culture."
In the meantime, Mr. Boudreaux, chief of the Golden Eagles, has a feeling his own Mardi Gras Indian costume is intact. He was careful to put it in a dry place before he left home. "I just need to get home and get that Indian suit from on top of that closet," he said.

One of the weird side effects of this whole thing is that most New Orleans musicians are instantly on tour as of now, since that's the only way they can make some money. I sent a snare drum down to Rebirth last week and saw them play up here a few days ago, and we're playing a benefit show with the Stooges in a couple weeks too. Apparently Bill Summers and Davell Crawford played in Minneapolis tonight, etc.

"But the musicians from New Orleans - among them the Neville Brothers, the original Meters, Irma Thomas, Kermit Ruffins and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band - outsang and outfunked most of the better-known stars. The programming was smart: New Orleans musicians had the first and last words, in the form of parade music from the Rebirth Brass Band.
New Orleans music, from jazz to hip-hop (which wasn't represented at the concert), has a distinctive rolling swing that's directly derived from community celebrations. It's deeply connected to Mardi Gras songs (like "Iko Iko" and "Brother John," which the Dixie Cups sang on Tuesday night, and "Hey Pocky Way" performed by the Meters and the Neville Brothers) and brass-band music for funerals and parades.
Famously musical New Orleans neighborhoods like Tremé and the Ninth Ward were hit hard by the flooding; how they will be rebuilt, and who will return, is still an open question and one that worries New Orleans musicians. "Nothing's going to be the same," said Ms. Thomas, the 64-year-old queen of New Orleans rhythm and blues. "But by the same token, what ever is? The main thing is to bring everybody back, because that's the ambience of the city."
But for the moment, it didn't matter that the performers' homes and neighborhoods have been damaged. They were executing the old African-American alchemy of tribulation into joy.
The politics of New Orleans's plight were not entirely sidelined. Bette Midler said, "I could stand up here and talk for hours about ineptitude, stupidity, blame, inequality, global warming, the dangerous destruction of the wetlands, but if I did, what would all those other people have to talk about?" She was loudly booed after mocking President Bush. Former President Bill Clinton, who introduced Mr. Fogerty, received a long ovation.
Cyril Neville, of the Neville Brothers, wore a T-shirt reading, "Ethnic cleansing in New Orleans"; his brother Aaron wore a baseball cap reading, "Evacuee." And when the Meters sang "People Say," their bassist, George Porter Jr., said, "People want to know - do we have a right to live?"
Backstage, Ms. Thomas said that both her house and the club she owns, the Lion's Den, were badly flooded. "We're among the New Orleans easters who lost everything," she said. "But we're gonna be all right." Onstage, backed by Ry Cooder, Lenny Kravitz and Buckwheat Zydeco, she sang a riveting, unsparing version of Bessie Smith's "Backwater Blues": "When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow/ There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go."
Aaron Neville joined Simon and Garfunkel for "Bridge Over Troubled Water," and he followed Art Garfunkel's rickety, overwrought verse with one that was tender, idiosyncratic and delicately poised; later, with his brothers, he sang a humbly devout "Amazing Grace." The Meters, who defined New Orleans funk in their own songs and as a studio band, regrouped for one song, then merged with the Neville Brothers (who include Art Neville of the Meters). And Kermit Ruffins, a trumpeter and singer, growled a steamy "St. James Infirmary" with the Dirty Dozen.
Louisiana musicians also propelled strong performances by non-natives. Elvis Costello belted "The Monkey Speaks His Mind" with the Dirty Dozen and the song's writer, Dave Bartholomew, and found the scorn and vitriol in Allen Toussaint's "On Your Way Down," with Mr. Toussaint at the piano. Diana Krall, also with the Dirty Dozen, dug into the Fats Domino hit "I'm Walkin'." And with Buckwheat Zydeco, from Lafayette, on accordion, Mr. Cooder sang another Domino song, "My Girl Josephine," with a knowing rasp.
The longest segments went to the rock stars. Mr. Fogerty......An unexpected consequence of the hurricane is that it has focused attention on New Orleans's music, with all its local quirks and underappreciated genius. Ms. Thomas, for instance, is recording an album while she's in New York. With luck, the sounds of New Orleans will remind the world that rebuilding the Crescent City is not only a commercial project but also a cultural one. "

Regarding media attention for New Orleans bands--It is sad it Katrina to get attention, but it's also sad it took Katrina to get some New Orleans groups on the road. Some of the press is happening now because some of the groups are touring the U.S. for the first time. The artists also need to get the word out. Somebody needs to set up or update a website for the Lil' Stooges Brass band. Texas Fred Carter, according to an e-mail I got, is booking Lil' Stooges at Chick Hall's, outside D.C., but the show is not yet on the club's website. The band deserves media ink in the nation's capital, but somebody's got to spread the word.

Mantra for New Orleans: 'We Will Swing Again' By DAVID CARR, N.Y. Times
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25 - In many American cities, indigenous culture is a bonus amenity, an add-on to the business and civic functions of the metropolis. Here, though, the first and last conversation you have will be about where you went, what you ate, who you heard play. The people who make music, who perform cabaret - and those who pour the whiskey that accompany the shows - are precisely the point here, and they play big for their size. If there is no show, there is no New Orleans.
"We will swing again in that place," Kermit Ruffins said by phone from Houston, where he went when Hurricane Katrina came. Mr. Ruffins is a trumpeter beyond compare, the crowned emperor of the New Orleans sound, who cooks red beans and rice and plays with his band, the Barbecue Swingers, every Thursday down at Vaughn's, in the Bywater section of the upper Ninth Ward. A flashlight aimed at Vaughn's last Thursday night revealed an intact building - and a big mess to go with it. "Could be six months, could be eight, could be a year," Mr. Ruffins said, "but I can't wait to get there and throw the grand reopening party on the new New Orleans. Count on that."
Workers interviewed this week up and down the high-low culture scale echoed Mr. Ruffins's optimism to a person. The message they sent from near and far was the same: This wounded city will heal itself show by show, and gig by gig, because culture - ribald, prissy and everything in between - is the nub around which the whole ball of yarn is wound. New Orleans without zydeco, without jazz, without theater, without nude dancers and orchestra players, is just a swamp town with hot summers, bad schools and a lot of mosquitoes. If this city is to return, it will do so on the backs of the artists who make it a place like nowhere else.
Mark Samuels, the owner of Basin Street Records, said as much. His small New Orleans label is the home to Mr. Ruffins, Los Hombres Calientes and Dr. Michael White. Mr. Samuels spent last week sneaking into the city from his temporary headquarters in Austin, Tex., to grab CD's so his artists would have something to peddle at their shows. Sitting at his brother's house in Metairie outside New Orleans last week, he showed pictures of his house in Lakewood South - a total loss by the looks of it - and shared his hopes and worries about the future.
"You can redo Bourbon Street anywhere in the world," Mr. Samuels said. "All you have to do is let people drink on the street, expose themselves on balconies and open a bunch of T-shirt shops. But New Orleans is a lot more than that. There is nowhere else in the world where you can head out to the Maple Leaf and hear the Rebirth Brass Band. That can't be recreated somewhere else."
Still, many New Orleans artists are now at large, playing for big audiences elsewhere. The Rebirth Brass Band tore the roof off in New York the other night as part of a benefit, and the Olympia Brass Band is setting out on tour from Phoenix. But while the money may be good, the tours will not be successful unless they end in New Orleans, where the rents were cheap and the clubs ample.
Many of those clubs made it through. Tipitina's is fine, for example, and Preservation Hall endures. As for the Rock n' Bowl, where the crash of pins mixed with the twang of a plucked guitar, John Blancher, who owns and runs the place, would like to reopen, but is also looking into some properties in nearby Lafayette. The club on the second floor is fine. But beneath it is mayhem, the result of eight feet of water rolling strikes for a week.
"I expect to reoccupy it," Mr. Blancher said. "From the outside, you would never want to even walk in there, but the inside is fine."
The insides of New Orleans seem great. The soul of the place, now dispersed, continues to thrive. The body is a hurting unit, though.
Dr. Ike - Ira Padnos to those who don't know him - is a medical doctor and a local scenester, the kind of man who embodies New Orleans's glorious, weird vibe. An anesthesiologist who worked through the storm at the Louisiana State University's hospital, he is now performing cultural triage in his role as executive director of the Mystic Knights of the Mau Mau. He won't say this - modesty is a persistent feature of the local milieu - but both his jobs will play a role in putting the paddles on the stilled heart of New Orleans. The Mystic Knights run the Ponderosa Stomp, a roots music festival that runs concurrently with the city's giant Jazzfest - "all killer, no filler" is its advertising cry - and serves as a reminder that much American music started and persists here. Reluctantly, the Knights have decided to move the Stomp to Memphis this year, for a benefit show, which is fine, but it is not New Orleans.
Many of the cities cultural treasures were not flooded, Mr. Padnos said. But for New Orleans to return, he added, "depends on people - the waiters, the musicians, the Indians - who live in the Ninth Ward, the Seventh Ward and Tremé, all of which were hit hard by the flooding. You need those people to come back to drive the city's culture."
It is still unclear what exactly they will be returning to, if they return. For instance, somewhere in the basement of the Orpheum Theater here there are 10 timpani drums floating in the muck and mire. At some point, Jim Atwood, the owner of the drums and a member of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, will retrieve his equipment - likely ruined - and assess his future. But he is not expecting anything approaching normal anytime soon.
"Normal, when you are talking about New Orleans, is always a relative term," Mr. Atwood said. He and his wife, a flutist in the orchestra, said they have not really come to terms with what happened to the city and what it means for them.
"We have yet to have that conversation out loud," he said. "But when we do, I think it is likely we will conclude that New Orleans is where our home is, and hopefully our jobs as well."
The jobs may be there, but what many culture workers in New Orleans would like is an audience.
"Art here comes up from the streets," said Barbara Motley, who owns Le Chat Noir, a cabaret on St. Charles Avenue left relatively undamaged by the storms. "The city failed a lot of the people who live here and I think they will be slow in coming back, with good reason."
"On the other hand, this is New Orleans," she added, "so I would not be surprised if people decide they need a laugh and a show. We'll see, won't we?"

Press Release : Announcement of the Prince Mahidol Laureates 2017
On 16 November 2017, the Prince Mahidol Award Foundation under the Royal Patronage (PMAF) held a joint press conference at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, to announce the 26th Prince Mahidol Laureates for 2017 in the field of Medicine and Public Health. Ms. Busadee Santipitaks, Director-General of the Department of Information, in the capacity of the Chair of the PMAF Public Relations Sub-Committee, together with Professor Prasith Wattanapa, Deputy Chairperson of the PMAF, Professor Supat Vanichyakarn, Secretary-General of the PMAF, Professor Vicharn Panich, Chair of the International Awards Committee and H.E. Mr. Glyn T. Davies, Ambassador of the United States of America to Thailand, jointly addressed the press.
This year, the Prince Mahidol Award in the field of Medicine is awarded to the Human Genome Project from the United States of America.
The Human Genome Project (HGP) was a large research project that significantly advanced knowledge in genetics and the human genome. The main mission of the HGP was to decipher human genetic codes. These codes are the core elements that determine biological life. The HGP thus contributed to the better understanding of cellular and organ functions, mutation processes and the mechanisms of diseases. Knowledge of the human genome, including technology used to analyze and interpret genetic codes, facilitated the evolution of medicine in many aspects, from understanding rare hereditary diseases to common illnesses (e.g. cancers, infectious diseases). Screenings for at risk patients and early detection are critical in the control and prevention of the aggravation of diseases. In addition, knowing personal genetic information helps improve drug development that can be tailored to individual patients, so called precision medicine, for highly efficient treatment. The information provided by the HGP has helped make significant progress in medical science, a branch of science essential to the comprehension of how diseases occur. It has changed the medical paradigm, shifting focus on diagnosis and treatment to the investigation of the causes and identification of the related genetic risks of diseases. The HGP has contributed to the remarkable advancement of medicine to the enormous benefit of mankind.
The Prince Mahidol Award in the field of Public Health is awarded to Professor Porter W. Anderson, Jr., Dr. John B. Robbins, Dr. Rachel Schneerson and Professor Mathuram Santosham from the United States of America.
Professor Anderson, Dr. Robbins and Dr. Schneerson in developing the Haemophilus influenzae type b - Hib. Hib is one of the core causes of meningitis, particularly in children. The research teams were the first to introduce the polysaccharide vaccine. It was, however, shown that this vaccine was not effective among children younger than 18 months old, the group at most risk of contracting the disease. They then developed the Hib vaccine, from research in polysaccharides to conjugate vaccines which is now being used as a standard for vaccination. The Award also recognizes Professor Santosham as a leader of the Hib Initiative who elevated his scientific discovery into a widely used vaccine among children, especially in many developing countries.
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will preside over the Presentation Ceremony of the Prince Mahidol Award 2017 on 31 January 2018 at Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall, Bangkok.

More Exposure. More Buyers. More Advantage.
Millennium Club PLATINUM, $10M - $15M
Your Listing Goes Far Beyond Our Office
We Did a 5 Minute Search On 1 Home
David Hardin & Rebecca Wampler
Sell with United – No One Makes the Process Easier
From "interested in selling" to "sold for a great price" in four easy steps…
"Best agent in Knoxville. We had. Extra large home on the lake in the upper price bracket and very hard to find buyers for. He worked with us and offered ideas to help sell. He then helped us find a new home on short notice when our house sold and worked in every way possible to help us get moved. He is the best in the area,he was not our first agent but was our last and got the house sold. I would consider him not just an agent but a friend."
- Mr. & Mrs. Whaley
"David Hardin is an outstanding Realtor! He worked tirelessly and patiently with me for over three years as I looked for a home that suited me. He's very knowledgable about the greater Knoxville area and surrounding countryside. He's an expert at the process of searching for and buying a home. I've not been impressed with 99% of the Realtors I've worked with over 40 years, but David is a notable exception. If you're looking for a home in his area, David is the Realtor for you."
- Joseph Kintz
"Prior to listing my house I interviewed 6 agents/agencies and David Hardin and Rebecca Wampler showed themselves to be heads above the rest. Prior to the interview they had thoroughly done their homework, and presented themselves in a very positive professional manner, thus making the choice easy for me. From that day forward until closing I had no regrets in the choice I made. During the listing I had many showings and I always got timely information related to the showings about the timing, whether they were running late, or needed to reschedule and always got honest feedback on each showing. David was also the photographer and videographer and did and an excellent job on both tasks. I was given the opportunity to review and comment and/ or make changes on the photos and video. David was also instrumental in clearing up some problems with my dock permit with the TVA, and with some site survey work. These actions contributed greatly to keeping the process moving forward in a timely manner. There were also several "side" agreements that needed to be addressed, and again were handled in a very professional manner. Thanks to the efforts of David and his partner and their team back in the office closing happened with no problems, and I walked away as a very satisfied customer. I have on many occasions recommend David and his partner to friends and neighbors and will continue to do so."

Micro-reviews, thoughts, pics of my own collection and random utterances galore. The site started out purely as a way of sharing my rarities to like-minded fans, but now (for longevity's sake more than anything) it is open to new physical metal music bits I've picked up, including new releases and other random shit.
Mekong Delta - Dances of Death (And Other Walking Shadows)
Considered by many to be the finest release from these long running German tech/progressive thrashers, 'Dances of Death' kicks off with a near 20 minute long self titled track, giving you a good amalgamation of all the thing that make this band so popular in the underground. This is the original first pressing on Aaarrg Records, a label that released a ton of good stuff before going the way of the dodo.

I picked up H is for Hawk when I was in London: having already bought nine other books, I was sure I was finished overloading my suitcase--but then two different friends told me it was the best thing they'd read all year, an assessment that jibed with the shower of accolades the book received, so I broke down. As usual when I buy a book on the recommendation of a friend, I'm glad I did. Those of you who are Stateside should be able to get it early next month; consider this my recommendation.
Today, I'll share a passage that I still can't quite believe--it's simply too unexpected, too close to perfect in its strange dislocations of space, time, and experience. Here's Macdonald, early on, when she's just started telling the reader a bit about her youthful obsession with White's The Goshawk:
A few years ago I met a retired U2 pilot. He was tall, flinty and handsome and had just the right kind of deadly stillness you'd expect from a man who'd spent years flying at the edge of space in a dusty-black American spy plane. The geopolitical aspects of his role were truly disconcerting. But as a day job it was absurdly cool. At eighty thousand feet the world curves deep below you and the sky above is wet black ink. You're wearing a spacesuit, confined to a cockpit the size of a bathtub, piloting a machine that first flew the year James Dean died. You cannot touch the world, just record it. You have no weapons; your only defence is height. But as I talked with this man what impressed me the most weren't his dead-pan tales of high adventure, the "incidents" with Russian MiGs and so on, but his battle against boredom. The nine-hour solo missions. The twelve-hour solo missions. "Wasn't that horrendous?" I asked. "It could get a little lonely up there," he replied. But there was something about how he said it that made it sound a state still longed-for. And then he said something else. "I used to read," he said, unexpectedly, and with that his face changed, and his voice, too: his deadpan Yeager drawl slipped, was replaced by a shy, childlike enthusiasm. "The Once and Future King. By T. H. White," he said. "Have you heard of him? He's an English writer. It's a great book. I used to take that up, read it on the way out and the way back."A man on the edge of space, reading a book rooted in a largely imaginary past, conjured up to comfort and explain amid a world ever more new and strange, a book that explicitly grapples with questions of morality, force, war, and loyalty as if they were as new as the world, and as essential as anything. Amazing.
"Wow," I said. "Yes." Because this story struck me as extraordinary, and it still does. Once upon a time there was a man in a spacesuit in a secret reconnaissance plane reading The Once and Future King, that great historical epic, that comic, tragic, romantic retelling of the Arthurian legend that tussles with questions of war and aggression, and might, and right, and the matter of what a nation is or might be.


text: Visual Studio, .NET Core, and ErrorCode = '0x80004005' 18. December 2016 03:01 / mlindegarde / Development . Lessons / Comments (0) I'm working on a new project. The solution and initial projects were setup by another developer (who did / is doing a great job). When I first attempted to run the project things didn't go quite as expected. Instead of running, the ASP.NET MVC website immediately closed on me. No errors in the output, no exceptions thrown. It didn't matter if I ran it in IIS Express or in a console host. At first I thought it was an issue with missing dependencies. While I've had Node.js and NPM installed for a long time, I thought there might be a configuration issue between my NPM install and Visual Studio. While that was a problem (thank you very much Mr. Hanselman), it wasn't the root problem. Next I took a look at the Windows Event View to see what I could find in the system logs. When I tried to run the application via IIS Express it generated the following error: Failed to start process with commandline '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\ProjectSystem\VSIISExeLauncher.exe" -debug -p "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" -a "C:\My Dev\Remslogic\RemsLogic\src\RemsLogic\bin\Debug\netcoreapp1.0\RemsLogic.dll" -pidFile "C:\Users\mikel\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp93DD.tmp" -wd "C:\My Dev\Remslogic\RemsLogic\src\RemsLogic"', ErrorCode = '0x80004005'. According to the Google box, error code 0x80004005 in ASP.NET apparently means it can't connect to the database. I checked my connection strings. Everything looked right. Finally it occurred to me to look at project.json and see what I might be missing. There it was, plan as day. This project is using .NET Core 1.1. I'm using a different computer than my normal dev work. I only had .NET Core 1.0 installed. You can install .NET core 1.1 here. Be sure you're looking at Current downloads and not LTS. Moral of the story, always look at project.json before barking up the wrong forest. b3a39a21-9395-4d57-928e-ed968c8dc356|0|.0|27604f05-86ad-47ef-9e05-950bb762570c Tags :

I think that the dtd describes a singular event, at the moment there is nothing inside the dtd that indicates what a collection on logging events in XML looks like, which is a shame. I think the XMLReceivers (both remote and file reading) within Chainsaw wrap a series of logging event xml snippets in some outer xml to make it a collection. It might be worth having this definition within the dtd, although DTD-speak confuses me, so not sure how to do that. XML Schema would be easier, is that something we should consider, or if we are targeting JDK1.2 would DTD be safer?

Heat up your kitchen design
An often-overlooked appliance in a kitchen is the oven. In the past, ovens were separate entities of their own, but today, ovens often come with stovetops. However, separate ovens are making a comeback, so if you're renovating your kitchen or updating your appliances, you might consider separating your oven and range.
If you are thinking of a purchasing an oven independently, you'll need to know the difference between regular and convection ovens.
Regular Ovens vs. Convection Ovens
A regular oven uses heating elements to distribute heat, which creates hot or cool spots throughout the oven, depending on the distance from the elements. These ovens are the cheaper option, but they tend to cook food a bit unevenly.
A convection oven, on the other hand, uses a fan to circulate the hot air evenly around the oven box, thereby cooking things more evenly, sealing in juices and speeding up the baking or roasting practice. However, some people mention that food dries out faster in a convection oven, so you have to watch your cooking times.
The type of oven you choose will depend largely on how much and what type of cooking you do. If your goal is to rival the chef at your local five-star restaurant, a convection oven is probably worth the greater investment.
Oven Types
You can choose to have your oven either under your range or in your kitchen wall. A wall oven and a regular oven both come in gas and electric options. Mostly, people buy an electric oven, but a gas oven is known for its more precise heating.
Convection ovens also come in countertop models. Countertop convection ovens work in apartments or smaller kitchens where a range is all you can fit. Toaster ovens and microwave ovens are also options, though these cook food differently and may not be appropriate for all foods.
If space is not a concern, you might consider a double oven. A double oven allows you to cook several things at once, making it perfect for large families or people who do a lot of cooking. It also comes in wall oven or counter depth form.
All of these oven choices used to be quite high-end; however, more and more people are able to afford these appliances without being gourmet cooks. You can often even add a self-cleaning feature or other options, such as warming drawers and broilers, at little extra cost.
Like most other major appliances, ovens are designed to last a long, long time, so choosing the right oven for your needs is essential. Consider the amount of space you have, the size of your family and the style of your kitchen, and then pick the oven that makes you want to find your inner chef!

Twilight star Robert Pattinson is reportedly getting serious about his relationship with girlfriend FKA Twigs.
According to Life & Style magazine, the 28-year-old actor and the 26-year-old singer, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, want to tie the knot soon.
"Rob's in love and he's serious about proposing," a source told the publication, according to Hollywood Life. "He's crazy about her. They are definitely talking marriage."
Twigs is Pattinson's first serious girlfriend since splitting with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.
Pattinson ended his four-year relationship with Stewart, after it was revealed that she cheated on him with married British director Rupert Sanders.
Meanwhile, the Remember Me actor's friends feel Twigs is a better match for him than the 24-year-old actress.
"They can all see that Rob and FKA's love is mutual," the insider said. "He's never been in love with anyone as artistic as her. He's never been this happy before!"
Twigs had previously opened up about her relationship with Pattinson in an interview with USA Today.
"I really enjoy the fun of putting something out and people liking it or hating it or talking about it, but vacuous attention, it feels disgusting. It's like a hangover. It's weird. I know that's not really because of me or what I'm doing, [but] the positivity that I get from [my relationship] makes the more challenging aspects...very worth it," she said.

There would be hardly anyone, who has not savored the crunchy and light Rajgiri laddoos and chikkis. Even as a child, I used to wonder, what these laddoos were made of? Well, the mystry once resolved was an eye opener.
These laddoos were made of a very tiny grain 'Amaranth or Rajgiri'. It gets its name from the Greek word 'amarantos,' which means 'one that does not wither'. Amaranthus could be translated into 'amar' in Hindi, with its Sanskrit roots, 'that which does not die'.
Amaranth, commonly known as rajgiri (king seed), ramdana (seed sent by God) migrated to India from America and is fast regaining popularity here. Native to the ancient Aztec and Inca civilisations, it faded into obscurity, as cultivation of staple crops such as corn and wheat took over.
It has a long history of use and hardly a new or a 'trendy' superfood that it is being made out to be. It has been traditionally used both as a faux grain and as a leafy vegetable (Chulai, both red and green) taking care of nutritional needs of the common man for thousands of years.
Like quinoa, amaranth is not technically a grain like wheat or rice or oats, but is the seed of the amaranth plant. It's sometimes referred to as a "pseudo-cereal" because its nutritional profile is very similar.
Gluten Free:
One of the most important aspects of this tiny grain is that it's gluten-free. When ground, the flour is generally a pale ivory shade, although the red "buds" can be ground as well for a red-tinged and very healthy grain. It is a healthier and less expensive alternative to ingredients commercially marketed in gluten-free products.
Protein Rich:
Amaranth is one of the most protein-rich of any plant-based foods, rivaling animal-based foods like cheese. Not only that but the proteins are easier digested than that of wheat.
One of the most striking feature is the exceptionally superior quality of protein due to the presence of lysine, an important amino acid which is lacking in most grains like wheat. This makes amaranth a complete protein, because it contains all the essential amino acids.
The proteins are more easily digested due to the primary proteins known as albumin and globulins. These, in comparison with the prolamins in wheat, are more soluble and digestible.
It has truly remarkable protein content: cup for cup, 28.1 grams of protein compared to the 26.3 grams in oats and 13.1 grams in rice.
Benefits of Amaranth
Enriched with essential minerals and vitamins like iron, magnesium and Vitamin A, B and C
It contains about twice as much iron and magnesium than wheat. In cooked and edible forms, amaranth retains adequate content of several dietary minerals.
Good source of calcium
It has four times more calcium than wheat and twice that of milk. It is therefore beneficial in repair and strengthening of bones as well as reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Beneficial in migraine
Rajgiri is beneficial for people with migraine, because being a good source of magnesium, it helps relax blood vessels and prevents constriction and rebound dilation.
Helps in irritable bowel (IBS)
Due to presence of flavonoids, and its gluten free nature, Amaranth is good for people suffering from irritable bowels. The anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties due to the presence of bio-active compounds help give relief from IBS.
Promotes a healthy heart
Rajgiri also contains unsaturated fatty acids and soluble fiber, which help in reducing low density cholesterol (LDL) levels, and make it a heart healthy grain.
Suitable for diabetics
It is a good combination of carbohydrates and proteins thereby helps in reducing instances of hyperglycemia.
Why is Amaranth an important fasting food?
- It gives complete, high quality nutrition when included even once a day in our meal.
- It is easy to digest and curtails hunger by keeping us satiated for longer periods
One reason amaranth is emerging into the forefront among grains is because of its remarkable nutrition. The laddoos and chikki shall forever remain in demand, but it is time we adopt it to enjoy mouth-watering preparations not just when we are fasting but otherwise too.
Amaranth can be puffed and eaten as a snack which has a light, nutty, or peppery-crunchy texture and flavor.
It can be used a thickener for sauces, soups, stews, and even jellies.

On June 24, 2016, the Class of the Tax-Free Daily Income Trust was redesignated as the "R Class."
On June 28, 2016, the Tax-Free Daily Income Trust launched Class S shares.
Your income dividend distributions are normally exempt from federal tax to the extent they are derived from municipal obligations. Income derived from other portfolio securities may be subject to federal, state and/or local income taxes. Income derived from some municipal securities is subject to the federal "alternative minimum tax." If the Fund makes any capital gain distributions, those distributions will normally be subject to federal and state income tax when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them in Fund shares. Investors should consult their tax adviser for further information on tax implications.
Where the net expense ratio is lower than the gross expense ratio, certain fees have been waived and/or expenses reimbursed. These waivers and/or reimbursements will continue for at least one year from the date of the applicable fund's current prospectus (unless otherwise noted in the applicable prospectus) or until such time as the fund's Board of Directors/Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or reimbursements. Absent such waivers and/or reimbursements, returns would have been lower. Expenses are based on the Fund's current prospectus.
Subject to change daily. Portfolio information and composition are provided for informational purposes only, and should not be deemed as a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
Net Asset Value (NAV) is the dollar value of a single mutual fund share, based on the value of the underlying assets of the fund minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. It is calculated at the end of each business day. Subsidized(Sub.) reflects current fee waivers in effect. Absent such fee waivers, the yield would have been lower. The Unsubsidized (Unsub.) does not reflect the fee waivers currently in effect. Current yield is a measure that looks at the current price of a bond instead of its face value and represents the return an investor would expect if he or she purchased the bond and held it for a year. Calculated by dividing the Annual Cash Inflows / Market Price. The 7-day effective yields are annualized net yields that describe 1-year earnings assuming dividends are reinvested at the average rate of the last 7 days. SEC 30-day yield is a measure of the income generated by the portfolio's underlying asset over the trailing 30 days, relative to the asset base of the portfolio itself. The SEC 30-day yield - Subsidized (Sub.) reflects current fee waivers in effect. Absent such fee waivers, the yield would have been lower. The SEC 30-Day yield - Un-Subsidized (Un-Sub.) does not reflect the fee waivers currently in effect.
Weighted average maturity (WAM). Maturity measures the number of days remaining in the life of a bond. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio represents the market-weighted average of the maturities of the portfolio's individual holdings. Weighted average life (WAL). A measure of sensitivity to liquidity and/or credit risk. Weighted average life takes into account all call options exercised by the issuer as well as permissible maturity shortening devices such as demand features.
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds' sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
1 Amended rule 2a-7(a)(8) (defining "daily liquid asset" to mean (i) cash; (ii) direct obligations of the U.S. Government; and (iii) securities that will mature or are subject to a demand feature that is exercisable and payable within one business day).
2 Amended rule 2a-7(a)(32) (defining "weekly liquid assets" to mean (i) cash; (ii) direct obligations of the U.S. Government; (iii) Government securities issued by a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the Government of the United States pursuant to authority granted by the Congress of the United States, that are issued at a discount to the principal amount to be repaid at maturity and have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less; and (iv) securities that will mature or are subject to a demand feature that is exercisable and payable within five business days).
Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the portfolios carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the portfolios.

Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM) is the asset management division of Morgan Stanley.
WAM is the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The WAM calculation utilizes the interest-rate reset date, rather than a security's stated final maturity, for variable- and floating- rate securities. By looking to a portfolio's interest rate reset schedule in lieu of final maturity dates, the WAM measure effectively captures a fund's exposure to interest rate movements and the potential price impact resulting from interest rate movements.
WAL is the weighted average life of the portfolio. The WAL calculation utilizes a security's stated final maturity date or, when relevant, the date of the next demand feature when the fund may receive payment of principal and interest (such as a put feature). Accordingly, WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.
Tracking error and information ratio are calculated using the Portfolio's Blended Index (added October 2, 2013), as this is a better representation of the Portfolio's global multi-asset strategy. The investment team manages the Portfolio relative to this Blended Index.
Excess return versus Custom Benchmark is calculated using the Portfolio's Blended Index based on the period since it was added as a benchmark on October 2, 2013.
NTM = Next Twelve Months
LTM = Last Twelve Months
Because the Portfolio had not commenced operations as of the most recent fiscal year end, no portfolio turnover rate is available for the Portfolio.
The Reorganization occurred on January 6, 2015. The inception date reflects the inception date of the Private Fund.
Global equities is represented by the MSCI All Country World Index.
Net exposure % calculated as [(MV of long cash security and derivative positions)-(absolute value of MV in short derivative positions)]/(portfolio MV)
Gross exposure % calculated as [(MV of long cash security and derivative positions)+(absolute value of MV in short derivative positions)]/(portfolio MV).
Fixed income net and gross exposure is duration adjusted (U.S. Treasury 10-Year equivalents)
Security ratings disclosed above have been obtained from Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"). S&P's credit ratings express its opinion about the ability and willingness of an issuer to meet its financial obligations in full and on time.'AAA' is the highest rating. Any rating below 'BBB-' rating is considered non-investment grade. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. Ratings apply only to the underlying holdings of the portfolio and does not remove market risk. "NR" or "Not Rated" indicates that no rating has been requested, that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy. Futures are not rated.
