CBF and project partners Maryland Environmental Service (MES) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will host boat trips to the reef ball site, and will lift several out of the water to highlight the project's accomplishments. Reef balls without oysters will be available on the boat for visual comparisons. CBF, MES and NOAA, with funding from the Fish America Foundation, planted 69 reef balls on the site in 2005. Twenty "set," meaning tiny oysters had attached to the reef balls at CBF's Oyster Restoration Center. Less than one year after they were placed on the Eastern Bay reef, these oysters have grown over two inches in length, and have an excellent survival rate. Reef balls - large, igloo-like concrete structures - are still a relatively new approach to restoring oysters to the planted in the Bay, and oysters can attach themselves to the concrete "reefs." There, the oysters can grow into adults, filtering pollutants from the water and creating a rich habitat for fish and other creatures. Project partners also include CBF and South River Federation volunteers, who helped create the reef balls. WJZ'S Alex DeMetrick spoke to a member of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. "We also have to provide some sort of substance for these http://wjz.com/seenon/local_story_292172240.html 10/23/2006 wjz.com - 'Reef Balls' Helping Restore Native Bay Oysters Page 2 of 4 oysters to sit on, so that they're up off the bottom, out of the mud, where they get a good supply of food how they thrive." said Stephanie Reynolds. From spraying massive shell deposits into the Choptank River to create oyster bars, to oyster nurseries in Virginia, bringing native stocks back could help clean bay waters. Because oysters feed on nutrients that block sunlight, crucial to underwater life, the trick is finding a way to bring enough oysters back. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is part of the oyster recovery partnership, which includes state and federal agencies. The partnership up to eight million oysters into the bay each year.

  • Home Improvement Television: Holmes on Homes Makes It Right
    Home Improvement Television: Holmes on Homes Makes It Right Jean Bruce Ryerson University Abstract: Holmes on Homes is a Canadian home improvement television program and the centrepiece of HGTV (Home and Garden Television), featuring Mike Holmes as the series’ star contractor and host. This paper argues that by looking back at earlier incarnations of film and television melodrama, we can determine the way in which Holmes on Homes reinvents the home improvement subgenre. By playing out reality TV’s central tension between fiction and non-fiction, Holmes on Homes reveals its larger themes of justice and redemption, which befit its unique position between the documentary and the classic melodrama. Keywords: Reality TV; Holmes on Homes; Home improvement television; Documentary TV; Classic melodrama Résumé : Holmes on Homes, mettant en vedette l’entrepreneur Mike Holmes, est une émission canadienne sur l’amélioration du foyer et la pièce de résistance du réseau HGTV (Home and Garden Television). Cet article soutient que nous pouvons recourir à des exemples anciens de mélodrames à la télévision et au cinéma, pour déterminer la manière dont cette émission réinvente le sous-genre « amélioration du foyer ». En effet, Holmes on Homes, en développant les tensions centrales de la téléréalité entre fiction et vérité, révèle ses thèmes clés de justice de rédemption qui reflètent sa position unique entre documentaire et mélodrame classique. Mots clés : Téléréalité; Holmes on Homes; Télévision sur l’amélioration du foyer; Télévision documentaire; Mélodrame classique Introduction When specialty network Home and Garden Television (HGTV) Canada applied for its broadcasting licence in 1996, the “nature of the service” it would provide was described as follows: The licensee will offer a 24-hour-a-day specialty service devoted to pro- gramming that presents practical, hands-on advice and instruction about homes and gardens.

Eakins, Esquire, MORRIS, NICHOLS, ARSHT & TUNNELL LLP, Wilmington, Delaware, Attorneys for Defendants. STRINE, Vice Chancellor. I. Introduction This case primarily presents the question of whether it is “reasonably practicable,” under 6 Del. C. § 18-802, for a Delaware limited liability company to continue to operate in conformity with its LLC agreement. When two coequal owners and managers whose mutual agreement is required for any company action are deadlocked as to the future direction and management of the enterprise and the LLC agreement provides no mechanism by which to break the deadlock, it is not reasonably practicable for the LLC to operate consistently with its operating agreement and a judicial dissolution will be ordered. II. Factual Background A. The Company And The Dispute That Led To This Lawsuit The LLC whose fate is at issue in this case is BVWebTies LLC (“WebTies” or the “Company”), which was formed by the plaintiff Robert J.

    The epilogue not chosen from For Whom the Bell Tolls … a series of love letters written from the front during the last months of WWII courting his fourth wife while married to his third … letters sent and received from more than 300 people including Marlene Dietrich, Ingrid Bergman, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joan Miro, and Maxwell Perkins … Nobel Prize congratulatory telegrams from around the world … letters to his beloved sons … instructions in Spanish to the cook regarding preparation of favorite dishes and the day of the week he preferred to eat them … photographs of dinner parties, fishing trips, African safaris, and family celebrations … 9,000 book personal library. These documents reflect just a fraction of the treasures that exists at Hemingway’s home, Finca Vigía, in Cuba. Some papers are almost 100 years old. The most recent are from 1960. Background. Finca Vigía (Lookout Farm), located on the outskirts of Havana, Cuba was Ernest Hemingway’s home from 1939-1960. It was there that he wrote standing at his typewriter, entertained, married twice, accepted his Nobel Prize for Literature, and pitched endless innings of baseball with the neighborhood children. Finca Vigía was the only one of his homes where the author put down roots, gathering the objects that he valued. He left in 1960 for medical treatment in the United States; in 1961 he committed suicide in Idaho. At the same time the Cuban government nationalized all property and Hemingway’s home was turned into a museum. Over the next 50 years, the Finca and its unique collection fell into disrepair.
