Is the Autocad version you're trying to install for 64 bit, or 32 bit?
Registered forum members do not see this ad.
I just purchased a new HP laptop with vista home premium, service pack 1, 64 bit, dual core processors. I told the guy specifically that I needed to run Cad and he said it would, but when I try to install 09 it tells me that it I can't install on this operating system. Has anyone else had this problem, or was I robbed? Thanks in advance for any and all advise.
Is the Autocad version you're trying to install for 64 bit, or 32 bit?
32, is this a problem?
Apparently... ask your reseller for a 64 bit version.
Thanks for the advise.
If your media is DVD, you should have the 64 bit version (along with the 32 bit).
I also have a 64 bit computer and tried to load the 32 bit disk and it failed. The 64 bit did load sucessfully, also be sure to get the needed updates and hot fixes.
The latest version of AutoCAD should recognize if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit system and load the appropriate version.

MONDAY, Dec. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Carbon monoxide poisoning is
a serious threat, especially during the winter when people may use
ovens and heating appliances to keep warm, says the American
College of Emergency Physicians.
"This colorless, odorless gas is deadly if you don't take precautionary steps or notice the symptoms. Thinking about it now and acting to prevent the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning may save your life and the lives of those around you," Dr. Sandra Schneider, president of ACEP said in a news release from the organization.
Each year, carbon monoxide poisoning kills more than 400 people
in the United States and results in more than 20,000 emergency
department visits and more than 4,000 hospitalizations, according
to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include: headache,
dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion,
says the ACEP. These symptoms mimic other illnesses, which can make
it difficult to recognize carbon monoxide poisoning.
"If you get bad headaches or suffer from any of these symptoms, you may easily confuse them with the flu," Schneider said. "People should be concerned about the possible presence of carbon monoxide if more than one person living or working together develops these symptoms simultaneously over a short period of time."
Call 911 if you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning.
The ACEP offers the following tips for preventing carbon
monoxide poisoning:

Chloride is the major anion (negatively charged ion) found in the fluid outside of cells and in the blood. An anion is the negatively charged part of certain substances such as table salt (sodium chloride or NaCl) when dissolved in liquid. Sea water has almost the same concentration of chloride ion as human body fluids. Chloride also plays a role in helping the body maintain a normal balance of fluids.
The balance of chloride ion (Cl-) is closely regulated by the body. Significant increases or decreases in chloride can have deleterious or even fatal consequences:
The normal serum range for chloride is 98 - 108 mmol/L.
The bicarbonate ion acts as a buffer to maintain the normal levels of acidity (pH) in blood and other fluids in the body. Bicarbonate levels are measured to monitor the acidity of the blood and body fluids. The acidity is affected by foods or medications that we ingest and the function of the kidneys and lungs. The chemical notation for bicarbonate on most lab reports is HCO3- or represented as the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2). The normal serum range for bicarbonate is 22-30 mmol/L.
The bicarbonate test is usually performed along with tests for other blood electrolytes. Disruptions in the normal bicarbonate level may be due to diseases that interfere with respiratory function, kidney diseases, metabolic conditions, or other causes.

Vizzolini, a retired instructor, director, principal and real estate agent was able to garner 61 percent of the vote while Garcia, a community organizer for the Diocese of Stockton, who has also worked with Mayor Luis Molina on youth issues, received 38 percent of the vote.
Vizzolini said it was apparent voters were looking for a more experienced candidate, noting that
he has served as Patterson High School's principal until 2004, and spent 15 years in the Newman/Crows Landing School District. Vizzolini added that he looked forward to working with old colleagues in the education department.
"I'm looking forward to being a part of local education again," he said. "The county office of education concentrates a lot on excellent programs that do a lot of work that local districts can't," he said. "They focus on students and people that can't be covered because of the numbers at the districts."
Vizzolini pointed to the Stanislaus County Office of Education's efforts to honor veterans who served, but never graduated from high school with an honorary diploma as just one program.
Vizzolini said the board would be facing funding issues and how to best use resources over the next few years as new programs are implemented.
"There are going to be some important decisions made," he said, stating he was looking forward to lending his expertise.
Garcia said that she was happy for the experience and understood it was her first election. She said she had not ruled out running for public office in the future, including Patterson City Council.
"I learned so much, having the practical experience was very educational, she said. "For the first time out, I think we did pretty well; especially for the time that we had."
She congratulated Vizzolini and wished him well.
"I do plan on running in the future for school board, either in the county or locally. I would like to focus on education in the near future."

Barcelona guide - Tourist information about Barcelona - Transport
Travelling to Barcelona by air - How to get to Barcelona from the airport El Prat
Barcelona can easily be reached from 3 airports: El Prat (BCN), Girona-Costa Brava (GRO) y Reus (REU).
El Prat (BCN)
The main airport is about 17 km south-west of the Barcelona city centre (Plaça Catalunya).
From the airport you can get to the city by bus, train or taxi (the metro for the airport is under construction).
Bus: The fastest bus with a more frequent service is the AEROBUS. It has a light blue colour and there are busstops at all the terminals of the airport. It runs beween the airport and the Plaça de Catalunya (centre of Barcelona) and the travel time is about 35 minutes. There are 2 lines, the A1 (light blue) which runs from the Terminal 1 (T1) and the A2 (light blue) from the Terminal 2 (T2). The price for the one way ticket is 5,90 Euros and round ticket is 10,20 Euros (price 2014). Children under 4 years are free.
This is the route from the airport (Terminal T1): Plaza España, Gran Via-Urgell, Plaza de la Universitat and Plaza Catalunya (city centre). From Plaza Catalunya to the airport: Sepúlveda-Urgell, Plaza Españya, Airport Terminal T1. Timetable:
Line A1
Pl. Catalunya (Barcelona) - Terminal T1 (Airport)
From 05.30 h a 06.50 h every 10 min
From 06.50 h a 21.45 h every 5 min
From 21.45 h a 00.30 h every 10 min
Line A1 Terminal T1 (Aeropuerto) - Pl. Catalunya (Barcelona)
From 06.10 h a 07.30 h every 10 min
There is another bus line with less frequency which takes you to Barcelona (Plaça Espanya). The travel time is a bit longer (about 50 minutes) but the ticket, you can buy it on the bus, is cheaper (2,15 Euros, price 2014). It's the line línea 46.
Train: The access is from Terminal 2 (T2) through a pedestrian walkway. There is a free airport shuttle bus between the 2 Terminals, for those who arrive or depart from the Terminal (T1).
THE STOPS (with connections to metro and bus lines):
- Main train station of Sants (Plaça de Sants, close to the Plaça d'Espanya)
- Passeig de Gracia (centre of Barcelona)
- Clot-Aragó (Av. Meridiana, close to the Plaça de les Glòries)
- Barcelona-Sant Andreu Comtal
Time tables (from the aiport): monday to sunday from 05:42 h.to 23:38.
Frequency: every half an hour.
Travel time to Barcelona Sants: 19 minutes
Price 1 way: 2,50 Euros (price 2014)
Taxi: Barcelona taxis are easily spotted with their yellow and black livery. There are taxi ranks outside each terminal building. The journey into the city takes around 20 minutes and costs around EUR 30,--. (journey + luggage).
Hire a car: The airport access road is the Barcelona-Castelledefels motorway C-31. The exit B-22 leads to the T1 and the C-32B leads to the T2. The 2 terminals are connected by a road. The C-31 motoway leads directly into the city on the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes (popular Gran Via), the principal Avenue of Barcelona which runs the city from south to north, and it's quite easy to get to the centre,.

UPDATE / May 9, 2013: The latest quarterly fibre rollout report continues the last instalment's key themes: the Ultrafast Broadband (UFB) fibre rollout, backed by $1.35 billion in taxpayer funding, continues apace.
But while many premises have been passed - the new total is 171,886 - only 5133 (3%) have taken advantage of fibre coming to their neighbourhood and got connected. The true number is lower than that still, as the 5133 includes connections ISPs have set up for staff and customers on trials.
Progress in other areas is harder to gauge.
1500 schools now have access to fibre, but the report does not detail how many have connected. Neither are connection numbers for health care providers and businesses provided.
And similarly while Vodafone celltower upgrades and attendant fixed wireless broadband now cover 100,120 house holds under the $300 million, six-year public-private Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI), and 42,400 have access to upgraded Chorus cabinets under the same scheme, connection numbers are not detailed.
NBR has asked for more connection numbers, but don't hold your breath - last quarter ICT Amy Adams refused to provide that detail [UPDATE: Her office was not able to this quarter either, but Crown Fibre Holdings updated NBR that of the 5133 connetions, priority users (business, health & schools) accounted for 1930 connections, and the balance were residential users.]
Why the low UFB uptake?
Pundits can grouse about the pricing (entry level plans are the same as copper/DSL, but you have to shell out more to get a decent data cap). And the lack of any new bundled pay TV service that many think could be the killer app (Slingshot is now offering an igloo box, but not as any point of difference or price advantage. The Sky TV lite service is available to all-comers, on copper or fibre).
Those factors are important, and will loom larger as the rollout progresses.
But for the period of this report (January 1 to March 31) the be-all-and-end-all of the matter is that around 50% of households are on a Telecom internet plan, and around 30% have Vodafone (now including TelstraClear) as their their ISP.
Neither of those two giants offered fibre before as of March 31. Telecom launched at the end of April. The carrier reported chipper week one numbers (with 242 signing up), but with no voice service, and related issues with overhead lines that still effectively sideline a third of its customers the company won't have a full-force rollout until later this year. Vodafone has yet to set a launch date.
Ms Adams says uptake is in line with the government's expectations for this phase of the rollout.
RAW DATA: Read the March quarter UFB & RBI report summary (PDF).
Feb 24, 2013: The Ultrafast Broadband (UFB) fibre rollout, backed by $1.35 billion in taxpayer funding, continues apace.
ICT Minister Amy Adams today released figures showing Chorus and other UFB contract holders have now laid fibre past 131,366 premises - including 33,126 in the latest quarter - giving 134,126 customers the chance to connect to super fast fibre.
Problem: only 3806 (2.8%) have signed up for a UFB plan (and a good whack of those will be trialists with ISPs who have yet to launch commercial plans).
Retail ISPs confirm it's slow going.
Only two of the Big Five ISPs that dominate the retail market (see below) have released UFB plans: Orcon and Callplus (which includes the Slingshot brand).
Last week, Orcon told NBR it has only connected around 1000 customers. A futher 10,000 or so are on a wait list.
And CallPlus boss Mark Callander told NBR ONLINE his company had only connected around 200 - mostly schools and businesses. It planned a bigger residential push next month.
Why so few customers?
It's probably not price. Internet service providers are offering fibre (which includes phone service) from $75 a month, roughly matching the cost of a home line plus DSL (copper) broadband.
And a lot of early adopters and trialists report a good experience (see NBR's whirl with fibre, plus pictures of a typical home installation, here).
There is a lot of ignorance about the benefits of fibre. Politicians talk about 3D spacial telemedicine, but people need to hear about the more everyday benefits of fibre, such as more consistent speed with minimal rush-hour glug; no degredation of bandwidth with distance from your nearest phone exchange or cabinet; and much faster upload speed - all the better for everything from cloud computing with software like Google Apps or Microsoft Office 365, sharing, photos and videos online or actually being able to backup your files to the internet without a multi-hour wait.
But the over-arching reason for slow uptake is that 80% of people get their broadband from Telecom, Vodafone or TelstraClear (recently bought by Vodafone).
And none of those big three have launched residential fibre plans - although Telecom says they will arrive next month.
Ms Adams says UFB subscriber numbers are at the level to be expected at this stage of the rollout. The government has alwasy said it will prioritise education, health sector and business connections (the latter would be interesting to break-out; NBR has put in a request).
RBI update
Ms Adams also updated on the numbers now covered by the public-private $300 million, six-year Rural Broadband Initiative.
Under the scheme (won by a joint bid from Chorus and Vodafone), Vodafone has now upgraded 131 celltowers and installed 30 new, giving 89,235 access to wireless broadband.
And Chorus, which is looking after fibre backhaul (links back to the main network) has now upgraded 347 cabinets, covering 36,100 households.
The minister did not say how many rural households have taken advantage of this boosted broadband coverage and signed on to a plan make available through the RBI upgrades. NBR has asked for that detail.
RAW DATA: UFB, RBI quarterly report
ISP market share
Telecom: 49%
Vodafone-TelstraClear: 29% (TelstraClear today: 16%; Vodafone: 13%)

Topic: Content Strategy
Gardens, Not Graves
The stream is great for showing timely, scannable content. But solely organizing by reverse chronology leads to a dire loss of context. What can we do to make content easier to understand for those coming across it for the first time? Allen Tan explores methods for turning our untended archives into lively, flourishing spaces.
The Battle for the Body Field
As we attempt to combine multi-device design requirements with complex, media-rich narratives, we've hit the wall. The chunky, fields-and-templates approach we've developed can't save us from the mismatch between our content and HTML's descriptive tools. The good news is we don't have to convert all our projects to XML to learn from the XML community's wisdom. By using custom elements and properties to represent content's meaning, transforming it into HTML on output, and ensuring that editing tools share the same vocabulary, we can publish structured content that supports the needs of today's editors and art directors while also making our content safe for future generations.
Responsive Design Won't Fix Your Content Problem
For years, we've told clients to serve the same content to every platform. We explained that Responsive Web Design allows content to squish itself into any container. Is it any wonder, then, that the belief has slowly grown that RWD can act as a substitute for actual content strategy?
Following Through with Post-Launch Strategy
Design studios have traditionally worked on a "launch and dash" model: we study a client's business problem; address it in design, UX, and content strategy; inject templates into a CMS; take the money, and run. But while we've spent years refining our web and UX practices, we've never paid much attention to what happens months after we deliver a site. If we truly want to help the client whose conversions are going flat, it's time to embrace post-launch strategy—and stop thinking of it as a bundle of shameful SEO tricks that are disconnected from our work. Aaron Mentele shares how his small boutique studio hired a digital strategist, and the benefits that have accrued to the studio as well as its clients.
Summer Reading Issue
Presenting the second annual ALA Summer Reading Issue—a deep pool of editor's picks from the recent archives of A List Apart, sprinkled with some of our favorite outside links. This summer's picks are arranged in clusters that echo the design process, and like all good summer reading, they travel light. (This issue is also available as a Readlist, suitable for reading on Kindle, iPhone, iPad, Readmill, or other ebook reader.) Dive in!
Don't Poke the Bear: Creating Content for Sensitive Situations
Delivering bad news is hard, but it's part of life and business. We notify customers when we're out of a product they want to buy, and we send warnings when people violate our companies' terms of service. God forbid we have to send a system alert because our database was hacked, affecting every one of our users. But these things happen to the best of us. Can you be the bearer of bad news in a way that respects your customers? Learn how to create empathetic content for tricky situations, and shape your internal culture to foster human values of support, respect, and empathy.
Designing for Breakpoints
Text, navigation, and tables, oh, my! What's a responsive web designer to do? How can you confine your design to as few major breakpoints as possible? Where and when will you sketch minor breakpoints? How should you think about content while sketching? Is it possible to sketch on actual devices, and what are the accessibility implications of doing so? The answers to these and other profound questions will be found in this exclusive excerpt from Chapter 7 of Responsive Design Workflow, Stephen Hay's new book, available now from New Riders.
"Like"-able Content: Spread Your Message with Third-Party Metadata
Woman does not share by links alone. Although formatting our content via structural markup makes it accessible across a multitude of platforms, standard HTML by itself offers no means to control how our message will come across when shared on popular social networks. Enter third-party metadata schemas. Facebook's Open Graph protocol (OG) and Twitter's Cards are metadata protocols designed to provide a better user experience around content shared on these social platforms. Clinton Forry explains how to use these tools for good.
W3C is Getting Some Work Done
In 2014, W3C turns 20. In web years that's something like 200. We last redesigned the W3C homepage and other top pages in 2008 to provide more content, clearer navigation, and other conventions of site design. But a lot has changed in five years, and we want to revamp the site in time for our twentieth birthday.
Windows on the Web
You have five minutes while waiting for a friend to meet you for lunch, so you find yourself shopping for a new pair of shoes. When your friend arrives, you put the phone away, but leave the web page open to help you remember what you found when you get home.
Translation is UX
We—the people who make websites—now study almost every aspect of our trade, from content and usability to art direction and typography. Our attention to detail has never been greater as we strive to provide the best possible experience. Yet many users still experience products that lack personality or are difficult to understand. They are users of a translated version. While good localization boosts conversion rates, bad or partial translation may ruin a user experience, giving people an uneasy feeling about the whole company. If we care equally about all our users, it's time we start thinking of translation as something slightly more complex than a word-to-word job. Antoine Lefeuvre shares why translation matters, and what it takes to get it right.
Uncle Sam Wants You (to Optimize Your Content for Mobile)
Thirty-one percent of Americans who access the internet from a mobile device say that's the way they always or mostly go online. For this group, if your content doesn't exist on mobile, it doesn't exist at all. The U.S. government has responded with a broad initiative to make federal website content mobile-friendly. Karen McGrane explains why this matters—and what you can learn from it.
Your Content, Now Mobile
Making your content mobile-ready isn't easy, but if you take the time now to examine your content and structure it for maximum flexibility and reuse, you'll have stripped away all the bad, irrelevant bits, and be better prepared the next time a new gadget rolls around. This excerpt from Karen McGrane's new book, Content Strategy for Mobile, will help you get started.
Being Real Builds Trust
Tons of products and services are the best, easiest, simplest, smartest things ever. They also all increase profits, decrease costs, and save you time. And as a result, they all sound the same. These kinds of qualifiers overrun our content because we're constantly looking around at what everyone else is doing, rather than being honest about who we are. But trust inspires confidence, and it's confidence that compels decision-making. Steph Hay shows us how to win customers by being real with our content.
Content Modelling: A Master Skill
The content model is one of the most important content strategy tools at your disposal. It allows you to represent content in a way that translates the intention, stakeholder needs, and functional requirements from the user experience design into something that can be built by developers implementing a CMS. A good content model helps ensure that your content vision will become a reality. Lovinger explains how to craft a strong content model and use it to foster communication and align efforts between the UX design, editorial, and technical team members on your project.
Tinker, Tailor, Content Strategist
What does content strategy mastery look like? As in any field, it comes down to having master skills and knowing when to apply them. While there are different styles of content strategy (from an editorial and messaging focus to a technical and structural focus), the master content strategist must work with content from all angles: messaging architecture and messaging platforms; content missions and content management. Above all, she must advocate for multiple constituents, including end users, business users, stakeholders, and the content vision itself. Rachel Lovinger shares the skills that go into achieving CS mastery.
Future-Ready Content
The future is flexible, and we're bending with it. From responsive web design to futurefriend.ly thinking, we're moving quickly toward a web that's more fluid, less fixed, and more easily accessed on a multitude of devices. As we embrace this shift, we need to relinquish control of our content as well, setting it free from the boundaries of a traditional web page to flow as needed through varied displays and contexts. Most conversations about structured content dive headfirst into the technical bits: XML, DITA, microdata, RDF. But structure isn't just about metadata and markup; it's what that metadata and markup mean. Sara Wachter-Boettcher shares a framework for making smart decisions about our content's structure.
Audiences, Outcomes, and Determining User Needs
Every website needs an audience. And every audience needs a goal. Advocating for end-user needs is the very foundation of the user experience disciplines. We make websites for real people. Those real people are able to do real things. But how do we get to really know our audience and find out what these mystery users really want from our sites and applications? Learn to ensure that every piece of content on your site relates back to a specific, desired outcome , one that achieves business goals by serving the end user. Corey Vilhauer explains the threads that bind UX research to content strategy and project deliverables that deliver.
Fire Drills: Communications Strategy in a Crisis
Every site or service will fail eventually. An emergency communications strategy can get you through the crisis faster and reassure your users while you're putting out the fire. Learn to imagine, prioritize, and prepare for everything that can go wrong, assign roles in advance to get you through the crisis, and communicate effectively with your customers throughout the experience.
Web Governance: Becoming an Agent of Change
Shipping is easy, making real change is hard. To do meaningful web work, we need to educate clients on how their websites influence their business and the legal, regulatory, brand, and financial risks they face without strong web governance. Learn why web governance is important to us as web professionals and how to influence your clients to think carefully about how to align their websites to their business strategy.

Editor's Note: This corrects an earlier version.
New London — The city's Democratic mayor and his appointed chief of staff, also a Democrat, failed to get enough votes Tuesday night to remain on the Democratic Town Committee.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio and longtime town committee member Jane Glover were not re-elected to the 60-member committee.
City Councilor Michael Passero presented a slate of 20 candidates from the third district that did not include Finizio or Glover. Both were nominated from the floor but did not receive enough votes to serve the two-year terms. City Council President Wade Hyslop was re-elected but his wife, Jessie, was not.
"What this says is there's a lack of confidence in the mayor's leadership within his own party," Passero said Wednesday.
But Finizio disputed Passero's assessment of the vote, saying the overall committee represents a diverse cross-section of the city and that the upset in District 3 was "a bit of political maneuvering that would make any watcher of 'Survivor' proud.
"Of course Mr. Passero, in his inevitable campaign for mayor, will claim it was a victory," Finizio said.
There were 71 people at the caucus. Nominees needed a majority, or 36 votes, to be elected, and Finizio and Glover each received 15 votes.
Finizio said he believed the leaders of the party had worked out a slate that had included Glover and himself. He was unaware that Passero had organized an alternative slate.
Finizio, who is the first elected mayor in the city in 90 years, was voted into office in 2011. He is in the third year of a four-year term. Passero, who had to go to a primary to get on the town committee more than 10 years ago, also sought the office of mayor. But he withdrew his name early in the campaign after failing to get the town committee endorsement.
Finizio challenged the Democratic nominee Michael Buscetto III, won the primary and went on to win the election.
In District 1, 19 of the 20 names on a slate presented by Zak Leavy, Finizio's executive assistant, were elected. Marie Friess-McSparran, and her husband Dan McSparran, who are not members of the committee, were nominated from the floor but failed to get enough votes, according to Leavy. Friess-McSparran, a former city councilor, had separated from the Democrats during the last election when she ran, unsuccessfully, on the Republican ticket for re-election.
In District 2, all 20 people nominated by Margaret Curtin were elected. Committee members will be sworn in in March, when a chairman will be elected.
There also are provisions for primaries, which would be held in March 4 if the necessary paperwork is filed by Jan. 29.

He's given up smoking, lost weight, been working out faithfully and has been in the rehearsal studio with his band revamping his new stage show to support his new album A Night To Remember. The new disc is slated for a May 18th release. "With this new album, my music has taken a different direction," says Diffie. "I just figured my shows should follow suit. I also know my fans are eager to hear some of my new stuff." Diffie plans to perform at least 120 dates on the road this year.

In order to make things easier, we've put together this handy little guide looking at some of the top players over the past 12 months!
To kick things off, let's start in Manchester where Sergio Agüero and Yaya Touré have continually run the show for their club and let's be honest, this pairing are one of the main reasons their side top the Premiership! Hot on their heels are city rivals United – and PUMA trio Phil Jones, Michael Carrick and Nemanja Vidić have been on exceptional form for the Red Devils. Jones in particular has effortlessly made the step up to the international stage; making him a strong candidate for the award!
We all know a goal-scorer is worth their weight in gold and scoring sensations Samuel Eto'o, Falcão, Loic Remy and Thierry Henry have set their respective leagues alight - and can rightfully lay claim for the PUMA Player of 2011 award! A special mention must also go to defensive lynchpins Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini who not only guided the Azzurri to the Euros, but their club to the top of Serie A with some outstanding performances.
In La Liga, Spanish sensation Cesc Fàbregas finally returned to his boyhood heroes this summer and he has led the line superbly for the Catalan giants, culminating in a fantastic goal in the recent El Clasico match, as well as scoring and leading his side to Club World Cup success!
Continuing on the European front, Super Mario Gomez, Seydou Doumbia, Alexander Frei and Bafétimbi Gomis deserve huge credit for topping the Champions League scoring charts with their lethal finishing.
Back in the UK, Mikel Arteta, Tomas Rosicky, Johan Djourou and Bacary Sagna have all impressed as their side mount a serious challenge both at home and in the Champions League. Peter Crouch has also caught the eye with some impressive performances in his sides first ever Europa League adventure in what promises to be an exciting season for Crouchy!
With so many stars to choose, who do you think deserves the title of PUMA Player of 2011?

Needs some TLC
Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pool and grounds were beautiful! The room has great potential but was extremely dirty when we got there. We had to clean the bathrooms extensively (hairs,filth,and shower curtains were mildewed). If you walked without shoes on your feet would be black. Other than being dirty it was a great place to stay!

The intersection of M Street and Ward Avenue with American Eagle Parkway to the west is an epicenter of activity as students arrive at school in the morning and leave in the afternoon. The retooling of the intersection received a low bid for work of more than $288,000 from Pacific Excavation of Elk Grove.
As a result, the corner of M Street and Ward Avenue is one of the busiest intersections in Patterson, and is about to receive a facelift to ease the flow of traffic.
Several schools are near the intersection, including Del Puerto High School, Sacred Heart Catholic School and Northmead Elementary School, while cars heading toward Creekside Middle School and Patterson High School contribute to traffic backups.
The plan entails retooling the intersection without reconstructing that corner, using only existing street space. New traffic signals will go up, and the roadway will be restriped to create left-turn lanes in every direction. The council agreed to move forward with the proposal after consulting with local residents on Dec. 6, 2011.
Under the plans, space now used for curbside parking will become right-turn and straight lanes, and the present traffic lanes would become dedicated left-turn lanes.
The Hartley Street and Walnut Avenue Intersection signal became a necessity due to local schools sanctioned within the area, including the construction of Walnut Grove Elementary and the eventual completion of a Stanislaus County Office of Education technical school at the corner. It received a low bid from Pacific Excavation as well for more than $319,000.
The project will ease traffic backups during drop-off and pick-up times for school, as well as create a safer corner for children to cross the street as they leave school grounds.
The projects were expected to begin construction a year ago, but delays in the state government approval process pushed back the work dates.

In advance of the final dress rehearsal Thursday night at Lambeau Field against the Kansas City Chiefs, Packers General Manager Ted Thompson met reporters for the last time in training camp today in the media auditorium.
The toughest part of his job awaits after the game as he must decide which 53 players will wear the Green and Gold into the 2014 season. Yes, it's crunch time:
Audio: Ted Thompson.
So where will the toughest calls come from? How about quarterback. You keep both Matt Flynn and Scott Tolzien, or only one? At wide receiver, is the potential of Jeff Janis enough to push aside Myles White or Kevin Dorsey? Which tight end is the odd man out? There's young blood at linebacker where Adrian Hubbard, Jayrone Elliott and draft pick Carl Bradford are making the likes of Nate Palmer and Andy Mulumba, maybe even Nick Perry, a former number one pick, sweat. A pretty good cornerback is going to get cut if Jumal Rolle and Demetri Goodson can't crack that group. The five week case will have closing arguments tomorrow night and the deliberations will begin with a verdict due by Saturday afternoon at 3:00 PM.

By Matt Peterson -
NORMAL, Ill.—Illinois State freshman quarterback Blake Winkler passed for 181 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Redbirds to a 28-14 win against South Dakota Saturday at Hancock Stadium. Illinois State (4-4, 3-2 MVFC) improved to 4-0 at home this season while the Coyotes (4-4, 3-2) lost for the first time in four games.
All three Winkler touchdown tosses came in the first half and all three were longer than 30 yards. Winkler netted 142 yards on six first-half completions against the nation's top pass defense. He finished with nine completions on 20 attempts.
ISU sophomore running back Marshaun Coprich added 108 yards rushing on 33 carries. It was the fourth consecutive 100-yard effort for Coprich.
South Dakota out-gained the Redbirds 372-286, but faced poor field position for much of the day. Nine of the Coyotes first 10 drives began from inside their own 26 and only one of 17 started in ISU territory. Conversely, Illinois State started in Coyote territory on three of its four touchdown drives. The other started on its own 42.
USD punter Miles Bergner averaged 35 yards on a season-high 10 punts. He missed a 43-yard field goal on the Coyotes' first drive of the game which followed an interception by USD cornerback Dyllon Knox.
South Dakota forced three turnovers, but couldn't turn any into points. USD quarterback Kevin Earl was 22 of 47 for 256 yards. He threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Terry early in the fourth quarter for the final score of the game.
Coyote running back Jordan Roberts carried 21 times for a season-high 85 yards. He broke a 22-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter that tied the game at 7-7. Freshman Riley Donovan had seven receptions for 109 yards for his second consecutive 100-yard receiving effort.
Winkler threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Phil Dudley at the beginning of the second quarter that broke the 7-7 tie. Winkler's 35-yard toss to Scott Kuehn made it 21-7 four minutes later. Both plays came on 3
-and-long. The Redbirds were 7 of 17 on third down and became the first team this season to convert more than four times against the Coyotes.
Coprich made it 28-7 with a 27-yard touchdown run with 8:42 left in the third quarter, one play following a USD turnover. Mike Banks' interception of Earl in the end zone on 2
-and-goal from the 3 with 1:14 remaining ended the game.
South Dakota sacked Winkler three times and had 11 tackles for loss. Coyote linebacker Auston Johnson had a team-high seven tackles and one of the three sacks.

LiveFIGHT FOR SURVIVAL: East Thurrock United vs Bognor Regis Town
This live event has finished
- East Thurrock United 4-2 Bognor Regis Town
- Ryman Premier League
- From Rookery Hill
- Kick off: 3pm
We will be back to report on the Essex Senior Cup final between Concord and Braintree on Tuesday. See you then!
Concord 0-1 Bath
Wealdstone 2-0 Canvey
Maidstone 2-1 Grays
Wingate & Finchley 5-0 Billericay
Thurrock 1-2 Tilbury
Thurrock have missed out on the play-offs. Unbelievable. They started the day three points and five goals better off than Needham. They looked dead certainties only games ago.
Wakering have also won the Essex Senior League. Fantastic.
The players take the applause of the fans as they go off. Tremendous.
What an afternoon. The players are jubilant in the centre circle and quite rightly so. They showed some character to come back from two down after 15 minutes. What it means is that Wingate & Finchley are relegated despite a 5-0 win against Billericay.
East Thurrock win! And are safe!
Almost a cock-up in the home defence but Hughes' error goes unpunished.
Bognor have gone to pieces here. Don't look like getting back into this one.
ETU keeping the pressure up very deep in enemy territory. Really good stuff.
Thurrock have pulled one back but that isn't good enough at the moment!
Stunning stuff in the RND. Thurrock are two down but started the day three points and five goals better than sixth place Needham. Needham are 7-1 up!
Higgins frees Bryant but he misses the target.
Keeper Hughes ran all the way from his goal to celebrate that goal with his team.
Frickley have taken a 3-1 lead at Worksop so this is a must win for ETU. All the sides under pressure have turned it on today!
The striker picks up the ball and lashes in off the shins of a Bognor defender. Rocks edge closer to safety.
Higgins scores! East Thurrock take a 4-2 lead!
Very well claimed by Hughes. Made it clear that one was his.
Bognor have a corner. Very tense.
Bognor have shown glimpses of class today but have been pretty poor, taking nothing away from ETU.
Aveley are 3-2 up and Grays 2-0 down in latest scores.
ETU have just missed a golden golden chance. Higgins is free and has two in support. He squares and Gilbey and Smith are in acres of space but Gilbey hits a fresh air shot and the ball is away.
20 minutes to go. A win will guarantee safety and put Wingate in the bottom four. They are currently 4-0 up against Billericay.
Gilbey smashes home from inside the box after the keeper denied Smith and Higgins. Great stuff.
Goal East Thurrock!! Stunning come back!
Visitors cranking up the pressure now. Hearing the penalty was pretty harsh vs Worksop but ETU need to focus on their result.
Wollers and Hinshlewood have entered the fray for BRT. Not sure who has gone off.
Wingate are three up against Billericay so Rocks need a win. Frickley have just scored. Catastrophic.
Wills and Smith come together on the near touch line. Heads touch but looks like handbags. A yellow card a piece.
Frickley equalise at Worksop. We are back on a knife edge.
Higgins slashes a cross towards Gilbey but the runner can't quite get on the end of it. Nice effort.
Rocks taking control of this one now. The home team I should say. Really taking the game to second placed Bognor.
Smith strikes left footed from outside the box to send Grant Smith into a sprawling save down to his left. From the resulting corner Bryant fires over after a low drive by Symons drops into his path.
Symons has one of the worst haircuts in the league but his passing has been right out of the top drawer today. Excellent performance.
Rocks still staying up courtesy of results outside the division but staying up is all that matters!
Higgins reaches the byline and fires in a low cross that is turned in by Gilbey! 2-2!
Goal for East Thurrock!!
Higgins links up well with Smith but sends his cross wide.
Bognor Regis have started the second half well. Sheehan doing well at the back. Can't afford to let cheap goals in today. They already have twice!
So 45 minutes to decide a season.
Sackman replaces Weir at halftime for the away side.

Half time: ETU 1-2 BRT
GOAL: AVELEY 2-1 Waltham Abbey - Lee Weemes (39')— @AveleyFC 26 April 2014
Bryant wins a freekick on the right after a shove by Robson. Visitors conceding far too many free kicks in wide areas.
Another interesting twist in Ryman North division as Witham concede against Cheshunt. VCD currently champions.
Bryant is down after taking a direct hit just where you don't want! He is hobbling to his feet. Ouch!
Aveley have drawn level against Waltham Abbey and Grays have just conceded to Maidstone.
David Bryant has been awarded the goal but looked like an OG to me!
The ball is sent to the far post and Sheehan but he miscues and Sammons drives it back in, cannoning of a away defender and in!
Goal for East Thurrock!
Poor delivery but they still have a corner. Gilbey to take.
ETU have struggled to string some passes together in the past five minutes. They are currently pressing down the left but away side defenders are winning all the headers. Smith now with a freekick from the left.
Great Wakering have taken the lead at Basildon. Get the champagne ready chap!
ETU are being caught after Sheehan goes up to attack set pieces, leaving Peddie at the back against the pacy Dodd.
314 people are here today.
Higgins chases down a Smith clearance and gets so close to diverted the ball into the goal. The ball is diverted just wide.
Worksop have taken the lead vs Frickley! Trouble is they still have a better goal difference by one goal so East Thurrock would be down.
Great play by Smith as he twists and turns in the box. He crosses and Higgins slashes his shot missing it completely. The home side can't afford to miss chances, not today.
Two nil to Wingate & Finchley. Rocks will be looking to Frickley Athletic for help.
Nothing wrong with the home sides forward play but their defending has been terrible when under pressure.
I am getting a sense of déjà vu. A cross by Smith drops to Symons at the far stick and his header clips the bar and goes out!
Ollie Pearce doubles the lead after another swift counter attack. I have just heard Wingate & Finchley have taken the lead too.
Goal Bognor Regis Town!
Deep cross from Stephen reaches Parmenter who heads wide.
Punt upfield by Robson drops to the on rushing Crane who hits high and wide.
Cray have taken the lead against Enfield Town, who are also deep in trouble.
The hosts almost strike straight back. A ball in from Smith drops to Symons who lashes against the bar from inside the box. Gilbey hits rebound over!
The away side break and a great dummy by Dodd lets in Ben Johnson who side foots past Hughes. Early body blow for Rocks. Not sure where the marking was there.
Goal for Bognor Regis!
Swings out for another corner which Stephen swings in. Terrific clearance by Axten to block Higgins and it's a goal kick.
Smith's dribbling causing problems for the away side early on. He wins a corner which Gilbey will take.
Some nice banners made in support of East Thurrock today. Stands are rammed.
Gilbey is dropping just off Higgins it appears. Makes sense - Gilbey has been effective coming from deep this season.
First thing I've noticed is how young the away side look. Big away support here today as well.
East Thurrock kick off.
Teams are out. Home side in yellow and black and the visitors in white and green.
For reference both teams are called Rocks so I may refer to East Thurrock as ETU and Bognor Reis as BRT!

Subs: Sackman, Morley, Wollers, Hinshlewood, Killpatrick
Here are today's teams:

We will keep you up to date with all the other non-league action today as Great Wakering Rovers look to clinch the title in the Essex Senior League and Thurrock aim to secure a play-off place in the Ryman North Division.
Please leave your feedback with @echoluke.
Rocks face a really tough ask this afternoon against Bognor Regis Town. A win would assure the same-named Rocks second place in the league although they are already confirmed a play-off spot.
Today's visitors won the reverse fixture 3-1 in January and have relied on Terry Dodd for goals this year. The forward has found the net 21 times, including two strikes against today's opponents earlier in the season.
Rocks will once again look to the irrepressible Sam Higgins, who has been scoring for fun since his return to the club from Concord Rangers in February. Higgins has scored 12 goals in 17 appearances since he re-joined with Lewis Smith and David Bryant also amongst the goals.
Rocks will be hoping Essex neighbours Billericay can do them a favour and grab some vital points to avoid this complicated scenario.
Now...to today's game!
No team in the Southern league is likely to reach the 46 points accrued by John Coventry's side this season although the same cannot be said of the northern league.
Astonishingly Frickley Athletic of the Northern League have exactly the same amount of points and goal difference (-20) as East Thurrock - so Rocks will also have their fingers crossed for a Worksop Town victory (Worksop currently lie in 4th position and are guaranteed a play-off place) even thought Frickley are mathematically unable to escape the relegation places.
But, in a bizarre twist, Rocks may not be relegated even if they are in the bottom four come 5pm today. Vauxhall Motors' were forced to resign from the Conference North after coming into financial problems but their loss could be East Thurrock's gain.
The knock-on effect down the football pyramid means the best placed finisher in the drop zones of the three step three divisions – the Ryman Premier, Calor Southern and Evo Stick North – will get a reprieve as the football pyramid is reorganised.
In the simplest terms an East Thurrock win will mean they retain their place in the Ryman Premier Division. They are currently one place outside the drop zone but are locked on 46 points with Wingate & Finchley. However, Rocks vastly superior goal difference means bettering or matching the Wingate & Finchley score line will assure their safety.
GOOD afternoon and welcome to Rookery Hill for the final game of the season – and what a game we have in store.
After 45 games it all comes down to 90 minutes of football for East Thurrock today. The situation is very simple but has the potential to become very complicated so I will do my best to explain what needs to happen this afternoon.
