Loading film
Switch the camera on. Then open the back cover by pulling up the back release while sliding the lock release to the right.
After placing the film cartridge in the film chamber, push the back release all the way in. If the release will not go all the way in, move the release to its rewind-crank position and rotate it slightly to the right or left.
Slide the tip of the film leader into a slot in the take-up spool. Make sure film does not protrude from another slot. Also check that a tooth on the take-up spool aligns with a hole in the edge of the film.
While holding the film against the sprocket with your left hand, release the shutter and operate the film advance lever until the film is wound firmly around the take-up spool. Make sure that the teeth in the sprocket engage holes in both edges of film, and that slack in the film is taken up.
After making sure that the film is taut, close the back cover by pressing until it clicks shut.
Release the shutter and advance film until the index in the frame counter points to "1". During film advance, the center of the rewind crank will rotate counterclockwise if the film is advancing properly. If it does not rotate during film advance, open the back cover and repeat steps 3 to 6.
Until the film has been advanced to the first frame, the shutter release will be the only thing that functions. Autofocus, for example, won't work. Film speed cannot be set until "1" appears in the frame counter.
Until the film has been advanced to the first frame, shutter speed is set to 1/4000 and the aperture to the minimum for the lens.
Film loading precautions
Always load film in subdued light or at least shaded from direct sunlight.
Before you open the camera back, check if film is loaded by referring to the film window. If film is loaded, check that it is completely rewound by rotating the rewind crank clockwise until it turns freely.
Do not touch the shutter, film guide rails, DX contacts or the pressure plate.
Make sure film is taut before closing back cover.
The frame number increases by one with each exposure. Common film lengths (12, 20, 24, and 36 exposures) are marked in red to signal that rolls with those numbers of exposures are almost finished. Film advance may stop before the number of exposures marked on the roll. In that case, do not force the film advance lever. When film advance is not possible with normal pressure, rewind the film.
Film-advance lever
The film advance lever swings out away from the camera body so you can slip your right thumb behind it. After exposure, advance the film by moving the lever 128 degrees to the right. This can be done in a single stroke or several short strokes.
After the film is advanced to the first frame, the 9000 will set film speed (the sensitivity of the film to light) automatically if the film is DX coded. All modern films are DX coded. If you need to set the film speed manually, such as when using bulk-loaded film in reusable cartridges or when intentionally "pushing" or "pulling" the film, use the ISO adjustment button. While holding down the button, use the shutter speed lever to set the desired film speed. Film speed is displayed in the data panel as well as in the viewfinder as long as the ISO button is held down. When the batteries are removed, the camera will default to the DX setting or ISO 100 if no DX code can be found. "ISO 100" will blink in the data panel and the camera will be locked until the ISO button is pushed.

This picture shows the lock release (at the top) and the metering selector, which also doubles as rewind crank and back release. Open the back by sliding the lock release to the right, as indicated by the small arrow, and pulling the metering selector all the way up.

Tried & Tested: OWS snowed on & shouted at
RussiaToday on Oct 30, 2011
Police in Denver have moved into the camp of the Occupy Wall Street protesters, arresting those who refuse to leave. It comes just hours after a massive stand-off that saw pepper spray and tear gas fired into the crowd. In this footage we can see police dispersing the crowd of activists. Meanwhile, in the states of Tennessee and California, more than 50 people were arrested when squads swept through their camps, removing tents, tables and other belongings. The movement has already been tested by snowstorms in Colorado, with harsh conditions expected to hit America's East Coast. Protesters in New York are getting ready to withstand blizzards, after local authorities stripped them of their power supplies. But as Gayane Chichakyan reports, neither arrests nor the upcoming winter, are likely to shake their determination.

CAFR School: What Is A Commingled Fund? Something every Wall Street protester should know.

A CAFR rant for the Occupy Wall Street crowd!
TheCorporationNation.com
I'd like to introduce you to the $64 billion and $23 billion dollar "mutual funds" in California, called Commingled funds. These funds are in all states, with federal U.S. CODE creating them through the state treasurer, and are usually called the Public or State Treasurer's Investment Fund.
Even as California claims to be broke, these funds are growing strong... making hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in investment returns.

Meanwhile, the military alliance has postponed its preliminary decision to end its Libya mission by the end of this month, following calls from the interim government to stay on.

The radical proposal, dismissed by some officials as a form of colonialism and which may be shot down in the face of strong opposition, underscores mounting pressure for stricter policing of Athens, with some ready to see its sovereignty clipped.

'Gaddafi dead' story stinks? 'Skepticism over NATO & NTC reports'
Libya government officials say Colonel Gaddafi has been killed. The news comes from the city of Sirte, which has reportedly been overrun by government forces. Officials first said Gaddafi had been taken alive, with serious injuries to both his legs. The latest we're hearing from the National Transitional Council is that the Colonel has died from his wounds. One of Gaddafi's sons has also reportedly just been killed in Sirte. The NTC had said the fall of Sirte would spell the liberation of Libya, after nine months of civil war.

Gaddafi 'killed, died of wounds': Video of Sirte celebrations
Colonel Gaddafi has reportedly been captured alive, after two months on the run. The country's new authorities claim the ousted leader's been taken in his hometown of Sirte, reportedly overrun by government forces. It's been the last major stronghold of Gaddafi's supporters for the past two months. Reporters in Sirte have so far been unable to confirm Gaddafi's capture, or even that the town has fallen to interim forces. Libya's current ruling body, the National Transitional Council, had said they would declare Libya liberated, once Sirte falls.

Luke Rudkowski runs into Actor, Producer & Director Mark Ruffalo (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0749263/) at #ows Occupy Wall Street in Washington Square Park.
Occupy Wall Street protest set for Raleigh
RALEIGH (WTVD) -- After almost a month, the occupation of Wall Street has become quite a spectacle.
"We are the 99 percent!"
RSVPs on the group's website have reached almost 1,000 and some indicated they are bringing more people with them. However, the permit for the grounds of the State Capital is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"I think there's a contingent of our group that's willing to exercise their free speech rights beyond that point," said Stacie Borrello, Occupy Raleigh organizer.
Borrello says at 3 p.m. Saturday, she will announce the end of the protest and leave, but she expects many will stay.
State officials who control Union Square, which is the block the capitol building occupies, say they expect it could take a while for the crowd to disperse. But they add that anyone who thinks they will be spending the night will be arrested for trespassing, so expect the potential for confrontation.
"It's about staying there long enough to call attention to what's going in America, to make our voices heard and demand a response," Borrello said. "If Occupy Wall Street had only lasted for a day, or two days, or a week, it wouldn't even be remembered right now."
A large crowd on Union Square could overwhelm the State Capitol Police Department hit hard by budget cuts. Raleigh police will likely back them up but won't reveal their plans.
As of Friday afternoon, it appeared as if police were making preparations. A City of Raleigh truck and another contractor bucket truck were spotted on the capitol grounds. read more

Naomi Klein On Occupy Wall Street Unfettered Greed
UpTakeVideo on Oct 14, 2011
Occupy Wall Street has some of its roots in the march against the Seattle global economic summits in 1999. What's the difference between the two? Naomi Klein says Occupy Wall Street has picked a better target. Summits are transient by nature. The times are different as well. In 1999 we were in an economic boom and it was hard to talk about the problems with capitalism. Back then, "the main stream media was drunk on dot-com money, stock options" says Klein. Today is different. "The facts of the situation are not in dispute. Everybody understands that we are facing a mass economic crisis and also an ecological crisis and they are the same crisis. Their roots are in unfettered greed." But the stakes today are higher says Klein. "We feel the clock ticking and we need to win this time."

Obama Gets 'Right' Cover from Iranian Terror Hoax: Paul Watson Reports
Steve Watson
http://www.prisonplanet.tv/news/
The already dubious "Iranian" terror plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador and blow up the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, continues to unravel into farce with the revelation that the so called "mastermind" behind the plot is a failed used car salesman described by those who know him as a "joke".
While The Justice Department is hyping the notion that 56-year-old Iranian-born U.S. citizen Manssor Arbabsiar was participating in a dastardly Iranian plot to kill Saudi Arabia's U.S. ambassador, details have emerged that make the already farcical case look like a badly scripted comedy.
Local media in Austin and San Antonio spoke to several of Arbabsiar's acquaintances in Round Rock and Corpus Christi, who described him in most unflattering terms, saying that they doubt Arbabsiar could have had any meaningful involvement in the supposed international ploy.
"He used to drink, smoke pot, go with the prostitutes," Tom Hosseini, an Iranian who has known Arbabsiar since college, told reporters, adding "His first wife left him because he would lose his keys every other day. This guy is not a mastermind."
Hosseini also told reporters that in college Arbabsiar earned the nickname '"Jack" for his affinity for whisky, confirming that he wasn't in any way religious and that "he couldn't even pray, doesn't know how to fast."
Describing Arbabsiar as rude, offensive and unfriendly, others noted that he was a "floundering" businessman who at various points had tried his hand in running a restaurant, a convenience store and a used car lot.
"He was pretty disorganised, always losing things like keys, titles, probably a thousand cell phones," David Tomscha, who ran the small used-car yard with him, said. "He wasn't meticulous with taking care of things."
"He never spoke ill of the United States," Mr Tomscha added. "I always thought he liked it here, because he could make money. He loved to make money."
Arbabsiar, who has a history of run ins with the law and minor criminal offences, was described in other accounts as having a preoccupation with traveling to Iran in order to procure the services of cheap Persian prostitutes.
Another local acquaintance, Mitch Hamueen, scoffed at the DOJ suggestion that "Chevrolet" was a code word for the alleged terror operation.
"He probably wasn't talking in code, he was probably talking about an actual Chevrolet," he said.
"He's the fall guy," Hamueen said. "They're looking for a fall guy."
Reporters also spoke with Arbabsiar's apparently estranged wife who told them "I know that his innocence is going to come out."
The Obama administration contends that Arbabsiar tried to hire assassins from a Mexican drug gang to carry out the murder of ambassador Adel al-Jubeir during a visit to the United States.
However, the head of the drug gang turned out to be a DEA agent posing as a Mexican Los Zetas gangster. The story has all the hallmarks of classic FBI entrapment tactics that have characterized almost every major terror bust in recent times.
Nevertheless, Everyone from Hillary Clinton to John Kerry has pounced on the allegations, suggesting there is a wider conspiracy, that sanctions should be placed on Iran, and that even further action should not be ruled out.

Meet In-Q-Tel, the CIA's Venture Capital Firm (Preview)
corbettreport on Oct 9, 2011
In-Q-Tel was formed by the CIA in 1999 as a private, not-for-profit venture capital firm with the specific task of delivering technology to America's intelligence community. Publicly, In-Q-Tel markets itself as an innovative way to leverage the power of the private sector by identifying key emerging technologies and providing companies with the funding to bring those technologies to market. In reality, however, what In-Q-Tel represents is a dangerous blurring of the lines between the public and private sectors in a way that makes it difficult to tell where the American intelligence community ends and the IT sector begins.
In-Q-Tel has generated a number of stories since its inception based on what can only be described as the "creepiness" factor of its investments in overtly Orwellian technologies.
This is our EyeOpener Report by James Corbett presenting documented facts and cases on the CIA's privately owned venture capital firm In-Q-Tel, in which well-connected board members drawn from the private sector profit from the investments made with CIA funds that come from the taxpayer.

Don't Let Soros Hijack Occupy Wall Street: Webster Tarpley Reports
The speculative attack by Wall Street and City of London banks and hedge funds against European countries, European banks, and the euro is now reaching a crescendo. The current European crisis does not derive primarily from economic fundamentals, but rather represents a cynically planned assault carried out by Anglo-American financiers, whose philosophy is the traditional Beggar My Neighbor. The goal is to shift the epicenter of the world economic and financial depression from London and New York onto the continent of Europe, and this operation has already partially succeeded. London and New York are exporting their own derivatives depression into the EU, using credit default swaps, corrupt credit ratings agencies, and their entire panoply of financial dirty tricks. We are not dealing here with the normal functioning of markets; we are dealing with all-out economic warfare.
The Wall Street zombie bankers are aiming at a chaotic breakup of the euro with the intention of buying up the old continent at bargain-basement prices. The jackals of the City of London are seeking to smash the euro as a means of breathing new life into the moribund British pound, thereby masking the fact that Britain is more bankrupt than the vast majority of EU member states. The Anglo Americans are also acting to destroy the euro as a possible competitor for the dollar in the role of world reserve currency for the pricing of oil, the activities of international lending institutions, and other functions. The dollar is now so weak and unstable that it can only survive through the downfall of all the alternative currencies.

He doesn't recall ... and she'll do it tomorrow
Virk/Basi trial adjourned to study e-mails
Neal Hall
Vancouver Sun: Monday, January 28, 2008
VANCOUVER - B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Bennett had a hint of weariness in her voice today after learning the B.C. government has found more than 100 e-mails that were seized during a raid on the legislature more than four years ago
The documents have never been reviewed by the judge to decide whether the e-mails are relevant to a pending trial, slated to begin March 17.
The judge adjourned the matter over to 10 a.m. Tuesday to allow government lawyer George Copley to retrieve about 140 e-mails from Victoria and provide a written summary of each one.
The e-mails were seized in 2003 from the computers of Dave Basi and Bob Virk, two former government aides accused of accepting a benefit, fraud and breach of trust in relation to the $1-billion privatization sale of BC Rail freight operations in 2003 to Canadian National Railway. {Snip} ...
Up to now, the defence lawyers were still seeking to obtain 17 documents that the government's lawyer asserted should not be disclosed because of solicitor-client privilege or cabinet privilege.
But Copley revealed in court today that there are about 140 e-mails that the government is asserting should not be disclosed to defence.
The trial judge, Bennett, took a short break this morning to check with Associate Chief Justice Patrick Dohm to see if he ever reviewed the 140 documents. Dohm was the judge who initially authorized police to search the legislature.
Bennett returned to court and told the lawyers that Dohm does not recall ever reviewing the 140 e-mails.
The judge said she will review the documents Tuesday morning before deciding how many are relevant to the trial. {Snip} ...

"Justice Elizabeth Bennett had a hint of weariness in her voice today after learning the B.C. government has found more than 100 e-mails that were seized during a raid on the legislature more than four years ago"

Something is very wrong with this picture. Wasn't it Judge Dohm who vetted all of the seized boxes after the Raid BEFORE all of these documents were turned over to the RCMP?
Apparently the Govt. just found them yet they were "seized" in 2003 . . .
# posted by Anonymous : January 28, 2008 at 3:07 p.m.
Every time a stone is turned in this case, another swarm of small vile creatures scurries to avoid being caught in the bright light of day. Is this the same George Copley who assured Madame Justice Bennett last spring that,
‘Yes, Milady, this bundle of documents I'm turning over to you now is the material the court must consider as to whether or not it has relevance in this case as evidence. The files have been combed milady and the government is prepared to have you rule on admissibility. And furthermore, Milady, the Premier wishes to be completely open and above-board about all of this.’
I swear we've heard those words, or ones very like them, from George Copley Esq. Q.C. before.
I know a request was sent to all ministries as early as last February for any documents which might in any way relate to this case...where have they been in the interim?
I think the Campbell Government has cried 'wolf' one too many times on this file.
Nothing they say now can have even the semblance of veracity about it.

One of the most poorly understood and enigmatic feline viruses is the feline coronavirus - the virus responsible for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most feared diseases in catteries. Many catteries that remain operative for several years will have a brush with FIP. Despite the fact that this disease is a shared experience in the cat fancy, affected catteries are wrongly feared and ostracized. All breeders need to make efforts to understand this disease and how to control it.
While the first description of feline infectious peritonitis was reported by Dr. Jean Holzworth in 1963, there are reports of clinical cases that are likely FIP going back to1914. Even though we have known about this virus for a long time, we know frustratingly little about it. However, much new research has been done in the past 5 years that is slowly shedding more light on this ever-present feline health problem. This article is designed to present some of the newer information and change some of the older ideas still found in print and other media.
Feline coronavirus operates differently from any other feline virus in several important ways: a) systemic antibodies have no protective function for the cat and may play a role in the disease FIP itself b) antibody titres are meaningless for diagnosis of FIP or prognosis c) a vaccine is available, but there is no consensus on its efficacy or safety
First, some notes on terminology.
FIP is the term for clinical disease associated with feline coronavirus infection.
The common benign form of feline coronavirus is referred to as FECV (feline enteric coronavirus).
When FECV has mutated into a disease-causing form, it is then referred to as FIPV (feline infectious peritonitis virus).
Feline coronaviruses in general are referred to as FCoV.
FECV is a very common, highly infectious feline virus. It belongs to the genus Coronavirus, which has members that infect other species (man, swine, cattle, birds, dogs). The majority of cats with FECV (about 95% or more) remain healthy. But in a small number of cases, FECV infection is the first step in a chain of events leading to FIP. This happens because coronaviruses are made of large numbers of nucleotides, the basic unit of genetic material, and they are very prone to mutations. As a virus reproduces itself, errors are made in copying these nucleotides. The more nucleotides, the more errors are possible. While most of these errors are harmless, some will have the effect of giving FECV the ability to cause disease. These mutant FECV strains are called FIPV.
Recent research has shown that mutant FECVs arise within an individual cat. Thus, we now know that the vast majority of cats do not "catch" FIP, but they develop it themselves from their own mutant FECV. Transmission of FIP from cat to cat is considered to be rare. This fact has caused leading FIP researchers to state that cats who are ill with FIP are unlikely to be a risk to other cats and thus do not need to be isolated.
It has been estimated that in multi-cat households where FECV has been introduced, 80-90% of all the cats will be infected. Catteries are especially likely to be FECV positive since traffic of cats and kittens in and out of the establishment is common. However, the incidence of cases of FIP is quite low in comparison. Generally, most catteries experience far less than 10% losses to FIP over the years. Rare instances have been documented where an apparent epidemic of FIP is associated with mortality rates of over 10% in a short period of time. One possible factor in these epidemics is the shedding of virulent virus, an uncommon situation. Usually, losses are sporadic and unpredictable. The peak ages for losses to FIP are from 6 months to 2 years old (with the highest incidence at 10 months of age). Age-associated immunity to FIP appears to be possible. Transmission of FIP from a queen to her unborn kittens has not been shown to occur.
What are the factors that predispose a small percentage of cats with FECV to the development of FIP? Research is currently trying to find more answers to this question, but some facts are becoming clear. Dr. Janet Foley and Dr. Niels Pedersen of the University of California at Davis have identified three key risk factors: genetic susceptibility, the presence of chronic FECV shedders, and cat-dense environments that favour the spread of FECV.
A genetic predisposition to the development of FIP was identified by Drs. Foley and Pedersen in 1996. They examined pedigree and health data from 10 generations of cats in several purebred catteries and found that the heritability of susceptibility to FIP could be very high (about 50%). It is likely a polygenetic trait rather than a simple dominant or recessive mode of inheritance. Inbreeding, by itself, is not a risk factor. Selecting for overall disease resistance is a helpful tool for breeders. The likely defect in immunity to FIP is in cell-mediated immunity. Therefore cats that are susceptible to FIP are also likely susceptible to some other infections as well, especially fungal and viral infections. This finding gives breeders the ability to achieve success in reducing the risk of FIP by using pedigree analysis to select breeding cats from family backgrounds that have strong resistance to FIP and other infectious diseases.
Research has shown that there are two main patterns that occur with FECV infection. Most cats will become infected and recover, but will not be immune. They are susceptible to reinfection the next time they contact the virus. A small number of cats become infected but do not recover. They become persistent shedders of FECV in the cattery and are the source of reinfection for the other cats. Therefore, the key to eliminating FECV (and thus the risk of FIP) in a cattery would be the identification and removal of chronic shedders. Currently, however, there is no easy way to determine which cats in a cattery are persistent shedders. The traditional antibody titre for FECV cannot be used to determine which cats are chronic shedders. The most effective and practical tool is PCR analysis of feces for the presence of FECV, a test which is not yet widely available.
In addition to selecting disease-resistant breeding stock, breeders can initiate husbandry practices that discourage the spread of FECV and development of FIP. Cat-dense environments favour the transmission of the highly contagious FECV. Dr. Diane Addie of the University of Glasgow, Scotland, recommends that the ideal way to house cats in catteries is individually. However, since this is not always possible, she recommends that they be kept in stable groups of no more than 3 or 4. Kittens should remain in groups of similar ages and not be mixed with adults in the cattery. Any measures that reduce environmental and social stress in the cattery population will have a beneficial effect.
FECV is spread primarily by the fecal-oral route and, to a lesser degree, through saliva or respiratory droplets. The virus can persist in the environment in dried feces on cat litter for 3 to 7 weeks, so scrupulous cleaning of cages and litter pans is important to reduce the amount of virus in the environment. It is important to have adequate numbers of litter pans available and that they be scooped at least daily and dumped and disinfected at least weekly. Litter pans should be kept away from food bowls and spilled litter should be regulary vacuumed up from the floor.
Dr. Addie has also described a method for early weaning and isolation of kittens born to FECV positive queens. It involves rigorous barrier nursing techniques to prevent the spread of the highly contagious FECV, and so is not for every breeder or cattery. The procedure involves first isolating the pregnant queen in a separate area to have the kittens. When they are 5-6 weeks old (at the time when their maternal immunity to FECV is waning), the kittens are removed from the queen and isolated by themselves. Some of the difficulties with this method involve the strict infection control procedures needed and possible difficulties in socializing kittens. When properly practiced, not only can FECV-negative kittens can be produced, but the kittens are often less prone to respiratory diseases and other common kitten ailments.
As with so many aspects of FIP, testing remains problematic. To date, there is no way to screen healthy cats for the risk of developing FIP. Antibody titres are poorly correlated with risk of FIP and should not be used to screen cats. As well as problems with interpretation of these antibody tests, there are problems with laboratory quality control. There are newer DNA-based tests offered by a few labs that are purported to be FIP-specific. However, these tests are considered unvalidated by experts as they have not been subjected to scientific scrutiny by researchers outside of the labs that offer them. In addition, there are no published studies that have identified the genetic difference between FECV and FIPV. An article was published by the Cornell Feline Health Center in 1998 warning that the so-called FIP-specific ELISA tests are based on insufficient data and the assays are not yet validated.
The fact remains that we have no screening test for FIP in well cats. Neither do we have a fool-proof way to diagnose FIP in a sick cat. The gold standard remains a biopsy or findings at necropsy. Recently, Dr. Andrew Sparkes and his colleagues at the University of Bristol, England, have suggested that combining several test results (globulin levels, lymphocyte counts) with clinical findings and antibody titre can help rule in or rule out FIP with some degree of certainty. It remains true, however, that a negative antibody titre does not rule out FIP. Neither does a positive antibody titre rule in FIP as a diagnosis. One benefit of the new DNA-based tests may be their use on body fluids, such as effusions from the chest or abdomen of a sick cat. If virus is found in these fluids, it strongly supports the presumptive diagnosis of FIP.
Probably one of the most controversial areas in any discussion of FIP is Primucell FIP, the vaccine made by Pfizer Animal Health, available since 1991. The vaccine is a modified-live termperature-sensitive viral mutant licensed for intranasal use in cats at least 16 weeks of age. The manufacturer recommends annual revaccination although no duration of immunity studies are available. The vaccine stimulates local immunity and will also produce an antibody titre. Evaluation of the risks and benefits associated with this vaccine is a difficult venture and has engendered much controversy.
Since FIP is a severe and fatal disease, the safety of any vaccine is a paramount consideration. Dr. Fred Scott of the Cornell Feline Health Center, concluded in a recently published paper, that the risks associated with the Primucell FIP vaccine are minimal in most situations. He notes that the vaccine has been in use for 7 years with no increase in the incidence of FIP. Troubling reports of a phenomenon called "antibody-dependent enhancement" (ADE) of infection arose from several labs, where cats vaccinated with FIP vaccines and challenged experimentally with virus developed accelerated disease instead of being protected. It is not known whether the phenomenon of ADE occurs in the real world and there is no easy way to find out. If it does occur, it is likely an uncommon event, but the possibility remains troubling.
On the other side of the issue, the benefits of the Primucell FIP vaccine appear to be small. The best reported efficacy for the vaccine is seen when FCoV negative cats at least 16 weeks old were vaccinated twice (3 weeks apart), in a study by Dr. Nancy Reeves published in 1995. In this study, FCoV antibody-negative cats were vaccinated before entering a large cat shelter where FIP was endemic. The vaccinated cats experienced a significantly lower mortality rate than unvaccinated cats. The efficacy of the vaccination was calculated to be 75% (preventable fraction).
In catteries where FIP is endemic, studies have shown the vaccine had no effect on the incidence of disease. One reason may be that most kittens in catteries are infected between 6 and 10 weeks of age, long before the 16 weeks of age the vaccine is licensed for. Once a cat is infected with FCoV, the vaccine has no benefit. Some cattery owners have been using the vaccine at ages younger than 16 weeks to get around this problem. Dr. Johnny Hoskins has outlined a vaccination protocol for catteries experiencing FIP losses in kittens under 16 weeks of age. He recommends giving the vaccine at 9, 13 and 17 weeks with annual revaccination afterward. Use of this protocol must be made with the knowledge that no controlled studies have been done on kittens under 16 weeks of age and that this is an off label use. It would appear that the use of the vaccine according to the manufacturer’s directions is limited to the vaccination of FCoV antibody-negative cats entering high risk situations, such as catteries and shelters.

FCV and FIP Testing via PCR
Diagnosing FIP is like building a pyramid. The cats clinical presentation as well as findings from multiple tests must be considered to reach a diagnosis. There are 2 PCR tests that go hand in hand in diagnosing suspect patients. Your veterinary may perform other test as well before coming to a final conclusion.
1) A Feline Diarrhea PCR panel which will determine if a patient is shedding FCV in their feces.
2) A Bloodborn Pathogen PCR panel help to confirm the diagnosis in suspect patients as PCR detection of FIPV in blood is highly perdictive of active infection.

(2) advocate for more safe places to play in the community,
(3) build the sustainability of ASA,
(4) invest in the existing program quality,
(5) introduce new programs that benefit the ASA community
Special thanks to Leigh Shields for his continued work with the stakeholders in the planning process. In addition, this would not be possible without the continued support from ACT for Alexandria and their capacity building grants.
ASA relies on the communities support through volunteer roles including coaches, managers, committee roles, league reps and the Board of Directors. Should you have interest in volunteering in any capacity or participating in the annual planning process please contact the Strategic Planning committee chair Todd Carroll (asafieldcoordinator@gmail.com) or Executive Director Tommy Park (tpark@alexandria-soccer.org)

The round brilliant cut is by far the most popular of the diamond shapes. A round diamond will typically give you more flexibility in terms of balancing cut, colour and clarity whilst maximising the amount of fire and brilliance of the stone. When a diamond is properly cut into the round brilliant cut shape, all light entering and leaving it is reflected to produce the highest amount of scintillation. To maximize the brilliance of a traditional round diamond, select one in the two highest cut grades (excellent or very good) and choose a polish and symmetry of excellent or very good.
Invented by Lazare Kaplan in the early 1960s, the oval shape has beautiful sparkle and brilliance, similar to that of the traditional round shape. Oval diamonds are particularly popular with those who have long, slender fingers as the shape accentuates the lean characteristics of the hand. Uneven or high shoulders should be avoided; they should have a gently rounded arch.
The marquise shape can maximize the look of your diamond’s carat weight, producing a diamond that appears larger than alternative fancy shapes. This longer shape can accentuate the slender appearance of your fingers. Uneven shoulders or off set facets are to be avoided.
The pear shape, often referred to as a teardrop is extremely versatile and works well in a wide range of styles and settings. An elongated pear shape creates a subtle slimming effect on the fingers. The shoulders should be symmetrical and make sure the point is not off set. Irregular facet orientation is a clear sign of an inferior model.
"Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever."
Considered the most romantic of all diamond shapes, the heart is viewed as the ultimate symbol of love. Pay particular attention to the colour grade of a heart as its unique configuration tends to “draw colour” into the shoulder areas or corners. Uneven or irregular shoulders are to be avoided as is a cleft which is too shallow. Irregular facet orientation is a clear sign of an inferior model.
The princess is the most preferred of the non-round shapes, especially in engagement rings. It is traditionally a square shape, with pointed corners. Princess shape stones can vary widely-from square to rectangular. Lower colour grades tend to draw a noticeable colour hue into the corner of the diamond.
It is important to view the girdle thickness. If too thick the diamond will appear “built up” and look a little small for its weight. Extremely thin girdles may become abraded or chipped.
The emerald shape is differentiated by the “step” cutting of the facets. It has rows (steps) of elongated facets on the crown and pavilion parallel to the girdle and corner facets. This often negates the play of colour as the reflected light may not pass through two inclined surfaces. Diamonds with lower grades of colour may appear dull in an emerald shape and reflected inclusions will become more apparent relative to brilliant cut diamonds. Off set corners or culets which are not centralised are to be avoided. The bevelled corners help to protect the stone and make it easier for the goldsmith to set the diamond.
Emerald cuts are typically rectangular although they may be cut in a square shape (often referred to as Asscher Cut).
The radiant shape is distinguished by its cut corners and is often complimented by brilliant cut side stones such as round and pear shape. It is important to select a model which has very good proportions and girdles which are not too thick.
The asscher shape is exceptionally beautiful and also known as a square emerald cut. It has rows (steps) of elongated facets on the crown and pavilion parallel to the girdle and corner facets. This often negates the play of colour as the reflected light may not pass through two inclined surfaces. Off set corners or culets which are not centralised are to be avoided. The bevelled corners help to protect the stone and make it easier for the goldsmith to set the diamond.
The cushion shape is square to rectangular cut with rounded corners and 58 facets. Also referred to as a pillow shape, diamonds with a cushion shape have corners that are rounded and larger than normal facets. The combination of shaped corners and larger facets leads to a diamond with great brilliance.

Williams, led by 16 kills from Mia Weinland and 12 kills from Erin Denham, opened the match on a five-point run and took the first set 25-23 despite six kills in the frame from Kolsky.
Amherst went on two separate five-point runs in the second set, and Dailey's five kills helped lead Amherst to a 25-11 second set win.
The third set saw a total of thirteen ties, but Amherst seized control when a kill from Claire Dennis '20 broke an 18-18 tie.
Four kills from Denham pushed Williams into the lead in the fourth set, with Alex Newton and her 38 assists, nine digs, and three block assists helping pace the Ephs.
Skyleur Savage '22 led all players with 29 digs, with Kolsky adding 15 digs of her own. Hayes Honea '19 and Candace Chung '20 were each in double-digits in that category as well.
Kolsky's offensive effort was one better than her previous career high of 23 kills, which she recorded October 21st of last year against WPI.
Wesleyan (17-4) defeated Bates 3-0 in their quarterfinals matchup and was one of just two teams to sweep the Mammoths during the regular season.

Lionsgate Is Reviving The ‘Saw’ Franchise!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 9th, 2016
If you’re a fan of horror movies, there is a 100% chance that you’ve heard of the ‘Saw‘ franchise from James Wan and Leigh Whannell. What began as a low-budget festival surprise soon became an annual tradition to expect a new film in the series every year around Halloween that involved new ways to torture people. The year 2010 came along, which was the release of ‘Saw 3D‘, labeled as The Final Chapter, but of course there was a wide open possibility for the franchise to continue. Lucky for us, now it is.

‘Leprechaun’ Remake Moving Forward with WWE and Lionsgate!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on May 31st, 2012
As we have previously reported, there is going to be a ‘Leprechaun’ remake. This time, Lionsgate is receiving help from WWE (yes, that WWE), to make the film. We already knew that WWE’s character ‘Hornswoggle’ (Dylan Postl) will be playing the Leprechaun that there will be two films at least for this new reboot of the franchise.
Lionsgate Comes In To Help Distribute Kevin Smith’s ‘Red State’!!!
Production company Lionsgate has teamed with Kevin Smith and his SModcast pictures company to help distribute his latest and greatest thriller picture, ‘Red State’. If you remember from Sundance this past year in a what turned out to be joke auction for his film, Kevin Smith paid himself $20 dollars for the theatrical distribution rights for his ‘Red State’.
John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum – 4K UHD Blu-ray Review!
In a surprisingly thrilling movie franchise that started in 2014, the John Wick character and films have made a significant impact on movie-going fans and the action genre. Now into its third film titled John Wick 3: Parabellum (Latin for “Prepare for War”), the filmmakers have spared no expense and creativity in giving us the best action movie for Keanu Reeves and this creative universe they created only five years ago. I would expect situations to get tiresome in a third adventure, but that’s not the case at all here. There are so many different aspects to the fight scenes that we haven’t seen before, along with some great, new John Wick assassin universe knowledge that makes this unique and deadly world seem much bigger than it is.

HANAblog contacted President Jeff Platt to get some information and perspective on what is happening with the California National Players Boycott. How are things going? How did this past week’s meetings go with various players in California? Find out below.
HANABlog: How are things progressing with the National Players Boycott of California Racing?
Jeff: News about the boycott is spreading by word of mouth. Every day more and more players are telling us they support the boycott.
HANABlog: Do you think the boycott is having an impact?
Jeff: Yes. Players are speaking with their wallets. Their willingness to stand up for what they believe in is absolutely showing itself in the handle numbers.
This past Friday, handle at Santa Anita was down almost 30 percent from Friday the same week in January last year. Handle for Saturday was down about 23 percent from Saturday the same week in January last year. Today’s (Sunday) handle vs. Sunday from the same week in January last year was down almost 27 percent.
I’m not saying the boycott is responsible for all of that, of course. But those numbers are telling.
HANABlog: You and other HANA members had meetings with California track management last week. What happened? Can you share some details?
Jeff: Sure. Upper management from Santa Anita invited HANA to a meeting that was held at Santa Anita on Sunday January 23, 2011. A representative from the TOC (Thoroughbred Owners of California) was there too.
I thought the meeting was productive overall. We talked about field size, the takeout increase, and the ADW retention cap. We also talked about the importance of having people who are qualified to make decisions about takeout and wagering be the ones making decisions about takeout and wagering going forward. I think they were listening very closely when Associate Professor of Economics at USC and Director of Southern California Horse Rescue Caroline Betts started speaking about the literature and case history that’s out there about things like takeout, elasticity, and optimal pricing. They have been studied extensively in the past, and that study could even progress more. She let them know how they might obtain research grants to fund research of their own in those areas.
We also got to know each other a little bit, which is always good. I think upper management at Santa Anita now has a better appreciation for how players are impacted by high takeout than they did before. Also, we came away with a better understanding of how the takeout increase is impacting Santa Anita.
HANABlog: Can you elaborate on that before and after statement? And was there another meeting this week in San Diego?
Jeff: Sure. Prior to the start of the meet, Santa Anita announced a 25 percent purse increase based on the idea that handle would be unaffected by a takeout increase. The thinking was that handle would remain the same, or maybe go up because of the return to dirt. That didn’t happen. Handle at both Santa Anita and Golden Gate is down. At the same time, handle at other tracks like Gulfstream and Tampa Bay Downs is up. We think that is something they did not factor into the mix.
On Monday January 24, 2011, representatives from HANA also met with upper management from Del Mar. That meeting was more informal than the meeting with Santa Anita. But I suspect Del Mar doesn’t want to end up in the same box Santa Anita finds itself in.
HANABlog: What type of box is that?
Jeff: Well, Santa Anita is shelling out money for a purse increase based on the idea that handle would stay the same or even go up a little as I mentioned. But handle is down. I think the numbers from this past weekend, if accurate, are telling and might be putting them in a box. If they announce a purse cut, that’s an admission the takeout increase was a failure. On the other hand, if they quietly keep paying out money for a purse increase and handle keeps falling, well, that can get expensive.
HANABlog: What has to happen before they are willing to rescind the takeout increase in your view?
Jeff: That’s a really interesting question.
The takeout increase was a really bad idea. But I don’t think the idea for California’s takeout increase came from the tracks. I think it came from the TOC. Sure, once the idea for a takeout increase was floated out there the tracks got behind it.
So yes, in that sense, if customers react negatively to that, the tracks deserve whatever they get.
However, I think there might be at least partial support at this point within track management to rescind the takeout increase. I say that because they reached out to us. They are looking for solutions.
But the tracks can’t roll back the takeout increase on their own. California State Law gives power to the CHRB to set takeout rates. My read on the CHRB is that the tracks and the horsemen will have to go in front of the CHRB jointly and ask to have the takeout increase rescinded. If that were to happen, I think there’s a very good chance the CHRB would vote to rescind the takeout increase. But the tracks need support from the TOC first before that can happen. I’m not sure the TOC is willing to do that just yet.
HANABlog: What can players do to help who are already not withholding their wagering?
Jeff: Support the boycott. Send a clear message by not betting California thoroughbred races. Also, tell other players about the boycott.
I really think the TOC and the CHRB thought players would behave like sheep and just go along with the takeout increase. Clearly that isn’t the case.
The boycott is making an impact. It’s shining a very public spotlight on racing's decision makers who failed to realize that racing is a customer driven business. The takeout increase was and continues to be a very bad idea. I feel we’re getting closer. If enough players stop betting California races the TOC will have no choice but to go before the CHRB, and jointly with the tracks, ask to have the takeout increase rescinded.
HANAblog: What’s next?
Jeff: The ball is in their court. We are just going to continue to work, move ahead with more paid marketing, and relay the message to those who have not already heard about the effort.
HANAblog: Thanks Jeff.
Jeff: You're welcome.
Excellent work everybody. Excellent!!!!!
Nice work,I haven't seen any Banner advertising.
Anything happening in that department?
Only full-blooded morons are letting themselves believe that any "HANA boycott" has anything discernable to do with the SA handle declines.
Those truly in-the-know about all things pari-mutuel are well aware that the most significant players are the centerpiece of the problems(s) in racing, and thus can never be any part of any solution.
Just imagine a poker game where one guy played around the clock with thousands and thousands of chips, and didn't even pay for "time", while everyone else at the table walked in with a pittance of chips and had to pay $4 an hour just to be there.
WHO would be playing such a poker game??? (Only morons)
But nice try with the poorly-implemented "boycott". (it's funny how the takeout was fine @ SA in December, yet the idiots involved were still boycotting that). How stupid can you people be??
With comments like the above I think you boys and girls must be doing something good.
",I haven't seen any Banner advertising.
Anything happening in that department?"
Hi Anon,
We hope to have that, as well as some other things, moving soon (hopefully within 7 days).
Cangamble said...
Anon, how come they are playing the game at Tampa, GP, and Fair Grounds?
Tampa Bay was 17% yesterday, while Santa Anita was down over $7 million in handle the past three days.
I guess Santa Anita should consider themselves lucky the boycott isn't working or just imagine how much handle they would be down.
Is Cangamble still talking?
How in the world did he get home to little league land from Hialeah in just eight days?
Now surely Cangamble is the sole possessor of the huge Hialeah handle figures (since he was the lone winner of so many pick-4's and pick-3's there during the recent meeting). How come guys like Cangamble never even bother to publicize those mighty 2010-2011 Hialeah figures???
Why isn't it because one could have raised the handle to 32% across the board at Hialeah and just about matched the same performance???
This is your problem: Noooooooooooobody cares about the mutuel take. Get it through your thick skull and move out of the way so as to no longer be one of racing's obstacles.
I'm starting to think that Cangamble is Jesus Christ reincarnated. Hialeah is on the cross with him this time.
Indulto said...
As I understand it, the above meetings might not have taken place without the persistent efforts of Andy Asaro and Roger Way who were also present at the meetings and, up until now, have been the primary direct contacts with California horsemen and track representatives as a result of their established and ongoing relationships in Southern California.
Jeff Platt and Barry Meadow have represented HANA at CHRB board meetings and, hopefully, their prior direct contact with board members will eventually bear fruit with continued horseplayer support. Roger Way is a regular attendee at board meetings and has extensive knowledge of California racing including its statutes. Economist, Caroline Betts, is also a valuable local resource and advocate for lowering takeout. All five individuals are articulate and effective representatives of horseplayer interests.
Others are playing active, but less visible roles. Their research, counsel, and communications have also contributed to increasing awareness of the issues, and attaining whatever progress may have been made in addressing them.
Encouraging feedback like this should be shared as widely as possible to bring others on board. No effort is too small to help save our game.
Why are you speaking about a quarterhorse track here. The story with that track is that Twinspires has not taken them. If you are looking for a scoop, that's it.
cory613 said...
There will be no change overnite,politicians are involved. There will be a lot of red tape, when and if they ever decide they need to lower takeouts. Thats a good thing. Lets make this mistake they made cost them big time !
Despite Twinspires not taking Hialeah, their on track handle total handle, and on track attendance was up. Put more money in players pockets and whether they understand takeout or not, the game will grow.
Meanwhile, California is getting pounded.
California might actually drag the whole industry down in 2011. Almost every track is up a bit this year so far.
Dareandgo said...
The increase in takeout was very damaging to my style of handicapping. I bet alot of Exactas and Tris and the near 10% to 15% increase in the takeout of both bets would hurt too much so I have concentrated on Gulfstream and Tampa Bay. (I realize that the takeout on Tris are higher their than in So. Cal. but obviously I hit more exacta's than Tris so I had to emphazise that bet more in my choice.)
What I have found, and the other factor the Cal Tracks must take into account, much to my surprise I am enjoying learning the new tracks and trainers (Gulfstream and Tampa Bay) and their unique angles plus new bets (like the pick 5 with a 15% takeout). I assume if I feel this way, so probably do others. So the longer the boycott lasts, the less likely it is that handicappers like me will return to the Cal Tracks even if the takeout is reduced. We may find other tracks more enjoyable to play especially with the much larger fields that they get as opposed to Cal tracks.
The CHRB has always been in the pocket of the TOC but this takeout increase could have long term permanent effects if not reversed quickly.
P.S. By the way I live in San Diego and love attending Del Mar, but not at this price. I will still attend, but I will bet much at all, if anything.
Nobody else of note took Hialeah either!!! Or maybe you didn't catch that obvious factoid over the past couple of years.
It doesn't matter whether St. Peter simulcast the Hialeah signal all across heaven this year. The facts remain that they threw the admission gates wide open this winter as in the past, slashed the takeout to 12% like never before, and NOTHING POSITIVE CAME OF THE MOVE.
Had the groundswell of public interest blossomed as Cangamble predicted, the pool sizes would have been gargantuan (especially with so many high rollers looking for places to invest their money after taking it out of So Cal!!! - yeah, right) instead of habitually yielding a single winning pick-4 ticket to Cangamble in those $630 gross pools.
Cangamble, you are undoubtedly the brightest star in the Hialeah grandstand by winter, and the brightest of the northern lights which summer at Alymer.
Outside of those two spots, however, your outdated and absurd approach needs a lot of work.
Hey, maybe you should head for Puerto Rico, where the takeouts are much, much higher!
The racing there is probably on par with your Summerside Raceway where you can sit in an empty grandstand and listen to your own orations bouncing back and forth from wall to wall.
I don't think Hialeah should be the yardstick people use to measure whats going on in horseracing. We should use a track that was here 2 years ago and most likely to be here 2 years from now.
vinny said...
and just wait til the scavengers from betfair come in with the betting exchange. this could further impact handle downward. racing has been decimated everywhere they have been allowed.
How about a boycott of NYRA racing, until the trainers start using other jocks beside Ramon Dominquez ? What is it 10 years of him bringing in 4 or 5 big favs everyday ?

Fraud Risk Assessment: ANXPRO
ANXPRO (anxpro.com) was launched in 2013 as a provider of cryptocurrency exchange services. The company’s legitimacy has been evaluated based on the items listed below. Every individual item has been checked for the presence of obvious red flags or warning signals. If these are present, an explanation detailing what triggered them has been included. A detailed description of the reasons to evaluate each of the included items can be found below the table.
Total Flags: 4 (3 Warnings = 1 Flag)
Headquarter location Hong Kong (high risk country)
Experience Less than five years (operating since 2013)
Verified Address The company is located at:
18/F, CNT Tower,
338 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
Verified Owner ANX was founded by Ken Lo, Hugh Madden and Dave Chapman
Business Registration ANX is a subsidiary of MEGA IDEA HOLDINGS LIMITED, which is registered in Hong Kong with Corporate Number 1918555
Financial Regulator Registration MEGA IDEA HOLDINGS is registered with the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department (C&ED) as a a Money Services Operator (license number 13-09-01268), but the C&ED does not recognize Bitcoin related business (see Operating License).
Operating License Not regulated. Despite the MSO license, the Money Service Supervision Bureau of the Customs and Excise Department released a public statement saying “the C&ED
reminds licensed MSOs, applicants for an MSO licence and members of the public that, for the purposes of the AMLO, Bitcoin or other similar virtual commodities are not “money” and do not fall within the regulatory regime administered by the C&ED. An MSO licence granted by the C&ED does not give any form of approval or recognition to a business related to Bitcoin or similar virtual commodities.”
Service Disruptions & Unbusinesslike Conduct None
Financial Audit None. The exchange did not participate in a public Proof of Reserves audit either.
Governance Audit None
Website Design Good
Grammar on Website Good
Funding Options Various
Contact Information The company’s address has been included on the website.
Risk Disclosure ANX’ website doesn’t contain any serious risk disclosure with regard to trading Bitcoins.
Source Credibility N/A
Social Proof N/A
Reciprocity N/A
Note that items with a warning instead of a flag indicate that these could occur at a legitimate company. For example, legitimate companies may hand out some kind of referral bonus. Multiple warnings will, however, still trigger a flag. A description for the listed items is provided below. This list is meant to assist with identifying the most obvious dangers, and therefore does not provide any guarantees.
Headquarter Location
Even though Bitcoin’s legal status is uncertain in most of the developed world, there are certain countries that take a more hostile stance towards the digital currency industry. For example, trading Bitcoin in Bangladesh could lead to a punishment of up to 12 years in prison, and also Russia has considered jail time for Bitcoin users. Another example is China. The country didn’t ban Bitcoin, but it did ban banking institutions and employees from engaging in Bitcoin business through banking, as well as servicing or doing business with the Bitcoin industry.
Exchanges that have been running for a long time are more likely to have a battle-tested trading platform, as well as proper policies/procedures to deal with regulatory requirements and uncertainties.
Business Verification
First, you should never hand your hard-earned money over without knowing where it is going. Second, you should do a background check to avoid handing it to a known scammer. Be weary of people without an online identity. Scammers will typically try to hide their identity or conceal their true identity to avoid being easily discovered.
Businesses are typically required to register at the local Company Register. However, not every registration is equal, for example, Companies House (United Kingdom) does not actively check addresses and names. Hence a registration here doesn’t hold any real value. In any case, a failure to register would indicate that the company is most likely operating illegally.
Financial Regulator Registration
Similar to a regular business registration, some countries require Bitcoin exchanges and payment processor to register with the financial regulator. In the United States the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) ruled that these types of companies are money transmitters, and should therefore register as Money Services Businesses. As a result, these platforms must also comply with stricter regulation such as anti-money laundering laws.
Operating License
Being registered doesn’t equal having the proper operating license. To achieve a fully legal status the license needs to cover the activities of the company. In fact, even exchanges with a money transmitter license may still be operating in a regulatory grey area, because Bitcoin exchanges are special cases. This is why New York invented the BitLicense, and why some platforms are applying for an even stricter banking license.
Service Disruptions & Unbusinesslike Conduct
A businesses can be expected to behave professionally. This means that at a minimum a professional must comply with relevant laws and regulations. Besides the rules, professionals should also respect their customers and act in their best interests. It is hard to specify these “unwritten rules” of ethical behavior, but we certainly do know when they are broken.
Audits certainly do not root out every instance of fraud, but independent (public) audits do provide some comfort in the sense that systems, numbers and policies/procedures have at least been reviewed by a third party (preferably a professional).
Amateurish, cluttered and disorganized websites can point to a scam as many scam sites use text and images from legit websites and other sources which may not work together very well.
Grammar on Website
Similar to the website’s design, limited English proficiency can point to a scam.
Even though cryptocurrency funding options are logical for a cryptocurrency company, it is also very convenient for scammers as the recipient essentially remains anonymous. Hence a lack of alternative funding options should still be considered a warning signal.
Legitimate companies have very little reason not to list their contact information.
Risks Disclosure
Fraudsters will do anything to provide a false sense of security. Actions may include misrepresenting, or even non-disclosure of risks involved.
Source Credibility
Persuasion is more likely when the source presents itself as being credible, expert and trustworthy. Common tactics used by scammers to make themselves look legitimate is to pretend to be someone they are not. Alternatively, credibility can also be attained externally with claims such as “Warren Buffet is already using this service”.
Fraudsters take advantage of herd behavior by creating the illusion of consensus or social proof that the service is legitimate with claims that “everybody is already using it”, or by setting up extensive referral programs in which members encourage their friends and associates to invest as well. This automatically triggers something in the mind that says: “if everybody [or someone from the inner circle] wants it, it must be good”.
A business is likely to receive far more of our trust when it provides a lot of free value. This happens because of the rule of reciprocity, which causes us to tend to feel obligated to return favors after people do favors for us.

Why You Should Love Keanu Reeves for His Acting →
VR Anticipation, and Oculus Rift vs. Google Glass
I’m not sure if the Rift or Project Morpheus are going to be huge but with the anticipation for their consumer releases, this is probably the first time VR has been really exciting for most geeks.
You can tell how big it’s going to be by the observation that people who try it get lost in it. They put on the Rift and they emerge from it half an hour or hours later, completely unaware of how long they were wearing it and playing with it. This is akin to when DOOM first came out (the id Software dudes Michael Abrash and John Carmack are involved in Oculus, so they anticipated that potential too), or Quake multiplayer, or the Civilization games, where you go play a short game and it ends up being 7 hours later and you don’t want to quit. People will get lost in the rift.
Look at what people have said:
But Iribe couldn’t take his headset off. “Again,” he said, scarcely able to believe what he was asking for. They ran through the entire series once more. Finally Iribe took off the prototype. His head felt strange—not dizzy, not displaced, but overwhelmed. “How long was I in there?” he asked Abrash and Binstock. It had been close to 45 minutes.
– from Peter Rubin’s Wired article which I’ve reread multiple times now
“Last time I was sick with the flu,” Carmack says, “I just lay in bed and watched VR movies on the ceiling.”
– Peter Rubin, Wired
This is no gimmick. This isn’t like 3D, where the difference to the viewer is a minor one. At worst, VR will be a niche format adopted by a handful of stalwart gamers. At best, we’re witnessing the birth of a significant new medium. Having seen its first baby steps, I want this technology to take giant leaps. I want to get lost in virtual reality. I want real-life Reginald Barclays to emerge just for the science-fictional thrill of it. Holo-addiction? Try Oculust.
– Andrew Todd
At my old company, we got to demo an Oculus Rift HD that was displaying a 360-degree view of one of Beck’s concerts:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F37OK7Fg9Rw
We took turns trying it out — people would watch for ages while the rest of us anxiously waited for them to be polite and finish. It’s immersive and you’re so curious you can’t stop looking around.
Just check out the Node Studios guys playing beer pong and goofing around in the rift with a virtual hand interface add-on:
Oculus has had high visibility at the E3 gaming conference in past years — this year was no exception. The Rift was adapted to the new Aliens game, where you have to stealthily avoid an Alien xenomorph. The Rift seems perfectly suited to that experience: suspense, surround sound, 1st person. Another game, Superhot, lets you dodge bullets by moving your head around them, similar to Neo in The Matrix.
When Facebook bought Oculus, I was pretty optimistic about it though I think the majority of people think it’s bad for Oculus’ future. What I think is most interesting about it all is that it literally took just a little time for Mark Zuckerberg to meet Palmer Luckey (who is pretty goofy himself…) and then want to buy Oculus, even if it’s A) mostly unproven and B) not exactly aligned with Facebook’s core product.
If Facebook and Oculus are going to sell the Rift close to at cost, then perhaps that signifies that Facebook sees Oculus as a potential play to keep its userbase lost in the rift. Facebook according to most stats is killing any other competitor in user time spent daily, and now it owns at least two of the other major players, WhatsApp and Instagram:
Even if you subtract from that a large portion of mainly mobile users, a rift that people are addicted to would be immensely addictive to people who spend a large part of their day socializing online.
Also we’re not quite at a point where you could serve up a rift off a mobile or even a tablet, but perhaps eventually you could. I grew up romanticizing Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash and William Gibson’s Neuromancer but was always deathly afraid of the almost certain future of Hiro Protagonist going to his rented storage space to zone out in the rift for a day or two.
And that’s another aspect: the popular culture anticipating this kind of timesuck. Think of TRON:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO5qq1XN64M
Or The Matrix, of course:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRs8DgV1cDE
Johnny Mnemonic:
Pacific Rim’s drifting and neural handshaking:
The book Ready Player One, reinvented as inspiration for this Oculus Rift game:
The implementation I want to see most is from Daniel Suarez’s Daemon, which has a Darknet interfaced via glasses. The glasses show peoples’ reputations, green paths leading to your location, even a way to perform alchemy on real-world objects and imbue them with special properties in the digital world (a real-world object being a key to somewhere else, for example), or showing what level of a profession someone has reached (so someone might be a level 7 farmer or a level 3 trader). Those glasses were actually described as being subtle and hard to distinguish from actual glasses so I suppose Suarez saw them as more Glass than Rift (which was what Stephenson’s Metaverse equipment was more like).
The Rift vs. Glass
I see Google Glass as technology affecting culture, in the same way that adding a front-screen camera to the phone led to the phenomenon and official word creation of the selfie. Glass has challenged accepted normal behavior in public settings: can you be recording in movie theaters, in a locker room, even just in a restaurant? Are you a Glasshole just because you have the glasses on, even if you’re an experimenting artist or technologist? Is it even legal to wear Glass to record interactions with police? So far Glass has been rejected by social norms resoundingly, even amongst those who like the tech, just because it’s been associated with a “Glasshole” culture.
I think of anti-Glassholes as the new digital NIMBYs. Digital NIMBYs are not, say, old folks who don’t like any new technology or who don’t think there’s a use for it. Digital NIMBYs are actually fairly savvy with tech, having grown up with it, but they want to control their environment and the tech that exists within it to the extent that they believe they should dictate norms to others. People who are proud to not have a TV, people who object to any cellphone use at all among others, people who want you to leave your cellphone with the others at the door, people who aren’t web developers but still scoff at IE users, that sort of thing. Digitally savvy but not technically savvy. Digerati, nimbies, whatever you want to call them. They’re insufferable and they think they dictate tech culture.
But anyway Glass does bring about problems with cultural norms regarding eyesight. We are told not to even look at others: homeless, children, people whose business isn’t yours, etc. But Glass provides a possibility to record even a passing glance for future memory viewing. This changes the whole security through obfuscation dynamic — instead of briefly viewing something with your eyes that you’ll soon forget, now every glance can be permanent. That makes eyesight into a weapon in the same way that guys might ogle girls on the street.
Contrast with the Rift. So far, the Rift looks almost comical to people not using it. Someone has a Rift on and is cocking his head around and leaning about and looking behind himself, all with the headset on. Most importantly and humorously, his eyesight is blocked and he can’t see what is actually going on around him. Most importantly, he has become a complete non-threat to those around him, almost like a prisoner, without eyesight. There’s no Rift asshole phenomenon yet, and I guess it’s because no one perceives a Rift user as a threat.
I imagine Oculus wants to enable some awareness for the user:
Oculus is also working on a second, outward-facing camera that will be part of the headset itself. The Valve prototype used such a camera to read fiducial markers on the walls for tracking, but Oculus seems to intend it for very different applications. For one, Carmack says, it can function as a pass-through camera, allowing Rift-wearing users to see what’s happening in the real world—a kind of external heads-up display that would allow you to grab a soda, for instance.
– from the Wired article
But I do think it’s interesting how eyesight augmentation between Glass and the Rift is perceived so much differently. I’m anticipating consumer VR will lead to similar advancements in digital culture, and it seems like it will finally come soon.
P.S. As an aside, why is Keanu Reeves in two of these VR films? Well, as you may know, I think Keanu Reeves is awesome, and I recently watched two of his latest films, 47 Ronin and Man of Tai Chi — I think he tends to enjoy roles where he’s cast as the outsider to a foreign world, with himself as the bridge hybrid (him being like a halfie, like me) between two worlds. He’s played this role in at least: Dracula, 47 Ronin, The Matrix, Parenthood, Constantine, The Devil’s Advocate, The Replacements, and of course, Point Break. Anyway, just a theory.

Lampard Confirms Failed Raid of Chelsea Starlet
When former Blues great Frank Lampard took his first step into football management with Derby County early in the summer, there was always this idea that he was gonna raid his former club, Chelsea, for talent in a bid to guide The Rams back to the English top tier for the first time since the 2007-2008 season.
To start with, the ex-Blues midfielder made off with luring Jody Morris, who was the Chelsea youth coach, into Pride Park to become his number two. If Lampard’s vast experience as a player was as strong a pull already is into playing under his tutelage, Morris joining him meant together they possessed the gravitational tug to suck the highly-rated teenagers at Chelsea’s youth academy into Derby County.
Indeed, 19-year-old Mason Mount and 20-year-old Fikayo Tomori were prised by the Blues legend into going under his guidance at Derby this summer, with Mount, Golden Ball winner of the UEFA U-19 tournament in 2017, especially making an impressive start in England’s second tier.
Apart from the two talented youngsters, Lampard recently revealed he also tried to sign another budding Chelsea player on loan this summer and it’s none other than 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu. Unfortunately for the ex-Blues favourite, Maurizio Sarri rated Ampadu highly as well and ultimately blocked a loan move for the Welsh defender.
Speaking with the Derby Telegraph, the 40-year-old Derby manager said: “I looked at him (Ampadu). I spoke to the (Chelsea) manager and he told me he wants him in their squad, so it was a very short conversation. I was very impressed with Sarri. I think he is a great manager, great character. He was very nice to me about it. Quite rightly, he probably wants Ampadu as part of his squad. He is a fantastic talent. It was a question (we asked), and we have fully moved on.”
The former Exeter ace is a highly-regarded player for both club and country and when the big-haired youngster put in an excellent shift for Wales’ 4-1 victory over the Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Nations League, Lampard, who watched the game, expressed his admiration for Ampadu.
“I shed a tear when he played so well! I know him, and similar to Mason Mount, he is a young player with real ability and a fantastic attitude,” added Lampard.

Album Review Weinberg: Works For Strings, Kremerata Baltica
These are live performances, apparently, and what a mother-lode of great string playing this is, committed to the last degree. Weinberg wrote tons of good music, and recent years have seen many new recordings. I especially like the first chamber symphony here, but all four are good in...
Album Review Michel Dalberto Plays Faure
Here's a great Faure album, by a pianist who has this music in his blood. Every performace is penetrating and vivid, aided by a Bechstein piano with a distinctively woody old-world sound, which prevents the music from becoming overly-smoothed and draws out every pearly detail. The reci...
Album Review Vincenzo Maltempo Plays Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies
Wanna have a good time? Well here you go. Don't worry — the man on the cover isn't going to strangle you. He's just tuckered out after playing all this wacky stuff. This album actually came out in 2016, but it didn't land on my shores until well into this year so it still counts as a 2...
Album Review Louis Lortie Plays Faure
The thorough craft of Faure's music withstands markedly different aproaches to playing it, not simply at the technical level but also emotionally. Just compare the recordings by Germaine Thyssens-Valentin, Paul Crossley, Michel Dalberto, Kathryn Stott, Jean-Claude Pennetier... And here...
Album Review Tiberghien's Bartok, Volume 3

Started in 1946, just one year after hostilities ended, the cavernous Oorlogsmuseum Overloon takes visitors on a journey from the ominous failure to reset the world order after WWI ended in 1918, to the seeds of national socialism and resulting polarisation leading to a sense of German exceptionalism and eventual invasions of Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and so on.
The sombre exhibits capture the utter despair of life in occupied Netherlands, the deprivation, humiliation, torture, fear … what it was like as a child, parent, student, worker, etc. It dutifully recounts the systematic rounding up by the Germans of the Jewish population during the war years until liberation by the Allied forces in 1945.
In one segment, visitors meet a 10-year-old Jewish girl and her family as they struggle to survive. The loneliness and heartache she faces as her mother dies of a brain tumour, her brothers are taken to a labour camp, followed by her father, cousins, aunts … They all disappear from her life in the space of five years.
She goes into hiding with her grandparents, moving from one place to the other, and eventually to a secluded farm. After liberation, she is reunited with her grandparents, and they soon learn the fate of her parents and brothers – all lost in the camps.
Multimedia displays including clips from the period projected on to walls, floors and windows surround the visitor. The overwhelming collection of original mementos, artefacts and machinery would be hard to beat anywhere.
The military hardware in the adjoining hall is thoughtfully displayed to capture what it might have been like in the dying days of the war as the Allies pushed through to the German border in late 1944.
Operation Market Garden was an Allied push through Belgium and Holland to cross the Rhine at Arnhem and get round the German’s heavily fortified Siegfried Line in preparation for a final drive to Berlin.
It was a make-or-break moment and the Germans knew it. They pushed back and met the Allies across a looping front that also took in Belgium (best known for the Battle of the Bulge) and German territory (fierce fighting in Hurtgen Forrest). These clashes were an all-in effort by a German army that literally had everything to lose. And it was in Overloon that Market Garden reached a crescendo between 30 September and 18 October 1944.
The story of the Overloon Battle is told with great care and detail in a panorama room with a replica shelter below, which tells the trials and tribulations of thousands of frightened civilians who waited out the nearly three-week-long ordeal.
A number of sculptures line the pathway to the entrance of the museum, symbolising the twin evils of war: shattered lives and destroyed livelihoods. One installation (see photo) sits incongruously beside a WWII-era tank with its turret poised in the air.
The €15 price to enter the museum seems steep at first but as the sheer magnitude of the place begins to open up, and the attention to detail (the personal stories juxtaposed against the carefully arranged machinery of war) is appreciated, the money feels well spent. Curators are everywhere, dusting Howitzers and arranging life-like mannequins into new scenes like the battlefield mess tent and mobile tool shop. Combined with several military memorials and cemeteries in and around Overloon, as well as a new playground and nature activities, this is a day well spent … and not only for history buffs.

Au Hasard Balthazar [1966]
Human behaviour is not always rational; compassion is a rarity while acts of cruelty and the ensuing injustice and suffering are more dominant in human society – this was the predominant theme in Robert Bresson’s much acclaimed and deeply humanistic drama Au Hasard Balthazar. This deceptively simple and seemingly allegorical Christian tale had a donkey as both an important character as also a symbol of its themes. Christened Balthazar by a young girl who becomes attached to it, the movie follows the proceedings in a village from the point of view of the animal over the course of its long life, which sees everything and experiences both love and maltreatment by those around it with quiet acceptance and resignation. The characters surrounding it – be it the frivolous and rebellious young lady Marie or the delinquent and troublemaking young man she is attracted to. Balthazar’s ownership gets transferred to a number of people over the course of its life, and each new ownership ends up providing layered commentary and observations on human life and behaviour. The scene where the donkey quietly dies remains a powerful cinematic moment indeed. Minimalist in tone and execution, the film tells its various stories largely through images and long moments of silence, with sparse usage of music or any dramatic effects. Acting too forms a largely trivial aspect of the movie, and consequently it would be meaningless to search for any powerhouse performances in it. Though the outer calm that permeates it has been subtly juxtaposed with inner spiritual turbulence and discordance, its seemingly tranquil nature and detachedness can also be a tad misleading and even simplistic to those unwilling to dig deep.
Director: Robert Bresson
Genre: Drama/Religious Drama/Rural Drama
Labels: 1960s, 4 Star Movies, Drama, French Cinema, Highly Recommended
Shubhajit,
I appreciate Bresson's work with every viewing of each of his films. Balthazar may be his greatest in a long list of brilliant films. His films of course are never about the performances, but about the purity and essence of intentions and the transcendance of the journey. This may be one of the 50 best films ever made in my opinion.
Thanks Jon for sharing your deep appreciation for Bresson's works. He was most certainly one of the great masters of world cinema, despite having made only 13 feature films in his career. In fact, from the point of view, one could draw an analogy between his career and those of other great masters like, Ritwik Ghatak & Stanley Kubrick, Orson Welles, etc. I still have most of Bresson's works left to explore.

December, 2008, #2
Christmas Issue 2008
What Fun It Is To Sing During The Holidays!
December Business Meeting/Dinner
On Saturday, December 13, we gathered at Anthe's at the Lake for the Annual December Business Meeting/Dinner. The total attendance (chapter members and guests) was 87. Thanks to Jim Elliott for his work organizing and coordinating this event. After a delicious meal, it was time for the business part of the evening.
The feature event of the night was the awarding of the 2008 Larry Neal Memorial Award, also known as the Barbershopper of the Year (BOTY) Award. Last year's winner, Jerry Mason, announced the winner of the award to be Kirk Roose, director of the Derbytown Chorus. Congratulations, Kirk and thank you for all your work on behalf of our Chapter, our District and our Society. (Note: Kirk could not be at the dinner. The bulletin will include a picture of Kirk and his award in a later issue.)
The 2009 Board members were also officially installed during the meeting. Congratulations to all new and returning members of the Board and good wishes for a successful year. Special congratulations to Wil Veith, our 2009 President. Also, a large thank you to Ray Stone for his multiple-year tenure as President.
The evening concluded with singing by the chorus and chapter quartets. A very appropriate finish to a great event.
In January of 2009, we will be moving to a new rehearsal location. Tuesday, January 13 will be our first rehearsal at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 50 North Prospect Street, Akron. In preparation for this move, a group of chapter members met at Saint Bernard's on Saturday morning, December 13, to organize and sort our chapter inventory of music and equipment. The next item on the agenda is the actual moving of these materials, which will take place on Saturday, January 10. All chapter members are invited to participate in this job. The more, the merrier. Who know s? There might even be singing (Hi, Ho.......).
On Wednesday, December 31, The Akron Derbytown Chorus will sing at Saint Bernard's Church as part of the 13th Akron First Night Celebration. We sing from 9:00 pm to 9:50 pm. The chorus has been involved in every First Night. The uniform of the evening is TUXEDO. Please be there, dressed and ready to warm-up at 8:15. There is a sign-up sheet at rehearsals.
BOTM For November
Congratulations to Stan Martin for being selected as Barbershopper of the Month for November, 2008. Stan coordinated the chorus participation in the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign at Chapel Hill Mall and also played a major role in our assessment of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church as a potential rehearsal location.
Ten Ways To Help Your Chapter
(11-20 of the total list of 100)
11. Take your camera to chorus functions, and turn in the pictures to your history book/scrapbook person.
12. Subscribe to the "Harmonet," print out hints & suggestions that look applicable to your chorus and pass them on.
13. Talk to two or three people (before, during break or after rehearsal) that you normally don't talk to.
14. When you are at social gatherings, quartet performances, etc., always talk about your chapter; you never know where your next guest might be.
15. Surprise an ill member with a card or a phone call. Call an absent member, and let them know you missed them.
16. Offer to clean the chapter's storage facility or update the inventory.
17. Keep your comments to yourself concerning choreography and costumes, especially when on the risers.
18. Learn your part (words, notes, choreography, stage presentation) early so you can help the slow learners & new people.
19. Offer to carpool with others when possible.
20. Learn to use a pitch-pipe, and then memorize the keys to songs in the chorus repertoire.

Chapter Quartet News
Many singing groups find themselves in demand during the holidays. Clear Choice, one of our chapter quartets has been very busy. The quartet includes: Dan Nichols, tenor; Ray Stone, lead; Jim Elliott, bass; Bill Halter, baritone. Here are some of their recents "gigs".
Friday, November 28- John S. Knight Center, Akron, entertaining at the Annual Akron Children's Hospital Christmas Tree Festival
Saturday, November 29- Barberton Holiday Kick-Off for the Salvation Army. Sang a few songs at the gazebo on the shores of Lake Anna; did a 30 minute show for about 250 people at the Magic Theater in downtown Barberton; finished the evening by singing at the Red Kettle near the Salvation Army headquarters.
Friday, December 12- sang at a luncheon for Hudson city employees at the American Legion Hall in Hudson.
Friday, December 19- did a 30 minute show for employees of The Crystal Clinic (about 350 people) at Guy's Party Center, Akron.
Christmas Wishes From The Bulletin Staff
Editor: Barry Tone
Reporter: Bob R. Shoppe
Cub Reporter: Eugene "Pitch" Pipe
For all those who enjoy singing, this time of year is especially full of joy. All of us on the bulletin staff want to wish all Derbytown barbershoppers and friends of the chorus a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The next bulletin issue will be on Monday, January 12 and will originate from North Fort Myers, Florida. Information and pictures that you would like to have included in future bulletin issues can still be sent to the bulletin email address, derbytown08@gmail.com
In this special Christmas issue, it seemed appropriate to include a variety of holiday music. The following items are not meant to overwhelm you. You can look at them all at one sitting or check them out over a period of time. The two phonograph clips are for those who remember when recorded music meant 78RPM, not MP3.
Lindley Armstrong (Spike) Jones and his City Slickers were known for doing satirical versions of popular songs. This clip features the distinctive voice of George Rock.
Jimmy recorded this song just before his 13th birthday.
If you want to be an honorary bulletin "investigative" reporter, see if you can discover the name of the quartet that provides the male voices in the back-up vocals on Bing's 1942 recording. They had a rather varied and important career on their own. The only hint is these four words: Fibber McGee and Molly. The hint might mean more to the more mature members of the Chapter. If you can't find the answer, or if you just don't care, the answer will be in the next bulletin issue.
This recording features Bill Pinkney, lead bass and Clyde McPhatter, tenor. The very clever cartoon is the work of Joshua Held.
Tree Festival Sing-Out
Many members of The Derbytown Chorus gathered at the John S. Knight Center at noon on Wednesday, November 26. We had been invited to sing as part of the Akron Children's Hospital Annual Tree Festival. Under the direction of Dan Nichols (aka Santa), we sang both Christmas and barbershop songs for an appreciative audience. Thanks to all who helped to make this performance happen.
The Summit Chordsmen In Wadsworth
The Summit Chordsmen, a chapter quartet, entertained at the Christmas Candle Walk in downtown Wadsworth on Friday, November 21. Lead, Jim Heaton; Bass, Mike Sitter; Baritone, Jerry Mason; and Tenor, Mike Halter sang for festival patrons in a very appropriate location, a barbershop. The Chordsmen say that there was a steady stream of eager listeners through the shop between the hours of 6 and 8. Shop owner, Melissa Vetter was serenaded when the quartet sang "Little Darlin'", specifically for her.
The Songs We Sing
(Who Was That Reindeer, Anyway?)
At our rehearsal on November 25, as we sang "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer", a question was raised about the correct name for Rudolph's colleague, Donner. The name Donder was mentioned as another possibility. After a little research, it turns out that this question is more complicated than we tho ught. It's actually not something that could be resolved in this publication, but here is a brief description of the controversy. If you stick to the the period from about 1950 to the present, the name Donner is correct, because that is the name given to the reindeer by the composer of the song. Johnny Marks wrote the song in 1949, using the character that had been developed by his brother-in-law, Robert L. May , for a 1939 Montgomery Ward ad campaign. It became a big hit for Gene Autry, the singing cowboy. The questionable part relates to the time before the song was written. In the song, the list of reindeer relates to those listed in that famous poem, " A Visit From Saint Nicholas". The last two names in the list, Donner and Blitzen, are the German words for thunder and lightning. Since the poem is attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, who is of German descent, this makes sense. But in 1823, the poem, published anonymously in a New York newspaper, uses Dunder and Blitzem (Dutch) as the reindeer names. Music historians claim that the poem was actually written by Henry Livingston, Jr. who was Dutch. Moore's association with the poem did not come about until he included it in a publication of his poems in 1844. The name Donder is also found in some copies of the poem. There is still some controversy about the true origin of this poem. Luckily for us, we are dealing with the post 1950 song lyrics and Donner is correct in that case.

Recent Visitor
On 11/25, Ron Weaver was a guest at our rehearsal. Many chapter members knew Ron from the past and he contributed much to our meeting. Ron is shown below teaching a tag during the afterglow.
100 Ways To Help Your Chapter
We are starting this feature, listing 10 items each issue for the next 10 issues. It's encouraging to note that many of our members are already doing these activities. This list was collected from the Harmonet by Kim Benner, Singing Buckeyes, Columbus Ohio.
1.) Bring a guest to rehearsal once a year.
2.) Show up early and help set up the risers.
3.) At the end of rehearsal, help take down the section of risers you are standing on.
4.) Thank the director for all his/her effort.
5.) Thank your chorus administration for all their work.
6. Bring in doughnuts on your "barbershop anniversary" night - bring in a special treat for after rehearsal.
7. Don't talk on the risers; and don't let others talk on the risers.
8. Smile. Act like you're enjoying your hobby, and show it (let the director know you're "really" there).
9. Take your quartet to retirement homes, and share your hobby. Family members are often there visiting and recruiting new members is part of your performance.
10. Volunteer to do a little more than you really want to in fundraising or committee work.
New member, Cory Hornish, received his official membership materials at our 12/2 meeting. Cory, on the left, is shown below with D'Artanyon Stanard, whose efforts brought Cory into our chapter. Congratulations to both young singers.
The Latest Tag From James Estes
Watch for the next issue of the bulletin on Monday, December 22
Bulletin Extra
On Wednesday, Dec. 3, a group of chapter members took a tour of Trinity Lutheran Church. We were evaluating the social hall and some related rooms as a potential rehearsal location. You can get an idea of what we saw by clicking on the picture below and viewing the album. Be patient if the pictures seem out of focus at first, it will clear up. You can also change the viewing time for each picture to get a longer view. Captions have been added to some pictures to give a little more background information. As with any location, there are pros and cons. These will be discussed at the board meeting on Monday, December 8th.

Cobus Reinach: Northampton scrum-half to leave at end of season
Northampton have confirmed scrum-half Cobus Reinach will leave the Premiership club at the end of the season.
The 29-year-old South Africa international has made 70 appearances since he arrived at Franklin’s Gardens from Super Rugby side Sharks in 2017.
Reinach has scored 29 tries since his arrival and was selected in the South Africa squad which won the Rugby World Cup in Japan last year.
Reinach scored three tries during South Africa’s World Cup-winning campaign in Japan
“We have a fantastic group of coaches and staff, and an exciting squad that I believe can challenge for the major honours, so this has not been an easy decision for me to make,” said Reinach.
“I’d like to thank everyone for making the last three seasons so memorable; I’ll be sad to leave some great friends and team-mates.
“Saints will always have a special place in my heart and I look forward to giving everything I’ve got to make sure we finish the season with some silverware.”
Northampton sit second in the Premiership table, one point behind Exeter, while a 33-20 win against Benetton Rugby maintained their hopes of reaching the Champions Cup quarter-final.
