Bought a home in 2001.
I first met Alice in 2001 when she assisted in the sale of our home and the purchase of the new one. I have called on her again to assist me in the purchase of my future home. She is and has been very professional, knowledgeable and very quick to respond to my questions. I feel very comfortable with her both on a personal and professional level. She exceeds my expectations of what is required or a realtor. I recommend her very highly to anyone needing her services.

Sold a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $925K in Johnsburg, IL.
After listing and not selling our home with another local agent when the market was at its peak, Alice was the second RE agent we used to sell our home. After interviewing several agents, we selected Alice because of her experience in selling high-end homes in other Chicago area up-scale markets. Comparatively she was stronger in all areas of the transaction. She exhibited great knowledge, skills and most of all, terrific attitude in the face of very difficult market conditions as the market caved. Best of all she went the extra mile numerous times in a variety of ways to help us find a buyer and get our home sold. She also helped us find a new agent in our new Phoenix location.

WSP: Driving While Texting Causes Problems
By Jamala Henderson and Derek Wang
Stop texting and driving. That's the message from the Washington State Patrol.
Authorities say they suspect that many minor low speed collisions are caused by drivers who are texting.
Jason Hicks is a sergeant with the state Patrol.
Hicks: "And if you just look around you while you're in your own car, you'll notice several other people on their phones while they're in these lower speed congested areas. We believe it's giving people a sense of false security that at 20 mph it's ok to look at my phone and read this text message or to send this text message."
Hicks says the low speed crashes can cause traffic backups. And that unnecessarily slows down roads for everyone.
Still, the state patrol admits that it doesn't have data on how many collisions are caused by drivers who are texting. They say they're basing their claim on what they've seen.
If you text and drive you could be fined $124 . More than 1,000 people were cited last year for texting while driving.

Sunrise Surprise Stroll at the Zoo
Experienced Zoo educators share the latest updates on our animal collection and the "inside secrets" of what's going on, all before the Zoo opens for the day. These insider tours provide a new way to explore the Zoo for those who think they have seen it all. Talks include up-to-the-minute information about the happenings at the Zoo with animals, exhibit construction, and more. They also include an animal presentation and, sometimes, animal enrichment opportunities. Each month is different, and it's called Sunrise Surprise for a reason: you don't know what you'll see and learn until you get here!
Your Sunrise Surprise Stroll may include:
* An animal presentation or special animal encounter
* A walk to the scheduled animal visit area, where a keeper spends time with the group, often in behind-the-scenes areas
* Visits to more than one area. Each month is different and the destination is not revealed until the day of the event.
All Sunrise Surprise Strolls include breakfast muffins and coffee served at the end of the program. This gives you a chance to relax and chat about your fun morning.
Sunrise Surprise Strolls are offered on select Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year.

I make no apologies for this post, as I was trying to look for one with the same information in it for about a week.....there are obviously spoilers.
If you think you'd like to see 127 Hours because you want to see if James Franco deserves an Oscar for Best Actor or if the movie should be Best Picture BUT you're squeamish and don't know if you'll manage watching it - here's a timeline I made so you'll know when to pop to the toilet/restroom or to simply put your fingers in your ears and look away.
If you don't want to know, stop reading now.
Right, have they gone?
OK then - you'll need to set your watches (or just do some maths) from the start of the movie, not when the cinema says the movie starts because that's actually when the trailers start.
First of all you have Aron packing his bags, driving then cycling to the wilderness and meeting two girls also backpacking out there.
Danny Boyle does mess with your mind quite a bit throughout the movie with premonitions (if that's the right word for them) of what's to come...so in the first 17 minutes Aron falls off his bike and very slightly hurts his arm, then later with the girls he and then they deliberately fall through a very narrow gorge into water at the bottom of it you didn't previously know was there.
He then leaves their company and the fall that we all know is coming happens 17 minutes into the film. This is fine to watch even though he gets half of his lower arm and hand crushed - there's the slightest bit of blood on the wall of the gorge and not a lot of screaming.
He tries various ways to get the rock to move and thinks about those who would be concerned about him who he was too selfish to tell where he was going etc.
Danny Boyle messes with our heads again obscuring the action from us as Aron scrapes away at the rock by his trapped thumb with a blunt penknife.
At 47 minutes in Aron first thinks of making a tourniquet (and does so) binding the flexible drinking pipe around his arm just below the elbow and using a carabiner to twist the piping tighter and tighter. He makes some very unsuccesful attempts to cut the skin but doesn't even pierce it.
At 62 minutes he uses the same knife but stabs it into the arm and you see an internal shot of how far it gets. You see a little blood on the skin and he puts a finger in the blood (not into his arm, which comes later) and licks the blood - he has become dangerously low on water at this point and is severely dehydrated.
But you can carry on watching for a bit... it's not gory for the moment.
At 64 minutes though he does drink his own urine (having run out of water) and retches a bit... this really didn't bother me, but just letting you know in case it does you.
Severely dehyrated and hallucinating by this point he watches the video he made a few days earlier of the girls and him in the bottom of the ravine.
At 69 minutes he makes his final video to his parents, family and friends. He has premonitions of them being there with him, sitting on a sofa and of a young boy and sees himself with the young boy on his shoulders. Also be aware that the soundtrack is severely racking up the tension at this point - in particular you hear Aron's heartbeat very loud and seemingly getting louder, so I can understand why this and the anticipation of seeing something really gruesome caused people to faint etc.
By this point 29% of the audience I was watching the movie with had walked out (ok there were only 7 of us to start with, it was a Thursday morning).
It was from this point that I chose to look away, knowing from listening to Kermode and Mayo's podcast (review and interview with Danny Boyle is 7th Jan) and reading lots of reviews to prepare myself what was coming...
At 75 minutes (so an hour and 15 minutes) you hear him breaking the first bone in his arm. It's a very loud crack and the music is also building the tension. He screams but in a sort of yes, I did it way....if that makes sense - what I mean is I didn't find the sounds of what was happening on the screen too much for me.
After what seems a long gap, but actually is only about a minute - at 76 minutes he breaks the second bone.
The music is very loud and aggressive now and between 77 and 79 minutes are the really difficult to watch bits (I understand reading all the reports of people fainting and having fits) from watch I understand, he sticks his finger or fingers into the wound to open it up more, and there's the bit you hear lots of people talking about being graphic in the sound effects - him cutting the nerve - which you hear several times a noise that's a very loud mix of something like dragging metal up and down a metal piano string and not totally unlike Godzilla's roar. I've got a feeling I've heard somewhere that he pulls out the the nerve too and that there's lots of blood.
BUT this most gruesome bit only lasts about 2 minutes and to be honest, if you tell yourself - 'it's only acting' (forget that the real Aron actually did this is you are squeamish but want to be there) it will be ok.
I looked back up to see a quite bloody but no gushing blood James Franco standing a few feet back from the rock and his severed arm.
And from here on the movie is watchable again. You see him climb out of the ravine, finds some muddy water at the bottom of another (remember he's totally dehydrated and needs water to survive) and starts walking out towards civilisation. He sees some hikers and they get him help and then you see James Franco as Aron living life to the full, swimming, snow climbing....all with the message that he now leaves a note to say where he's going. You also get to see the real Aron, his wife and new son.
And you get to leave the cinema on a high....possibly if you are mega squeamish and worried about being able to cope, having gotten through it....though hopefully also seeing what Aron Roiston is like now.
The film lasts just 93 minutes.
I hope if you want to watch the film but were too worried to before the above might help you. I wish I'd been able to relax and know that I could cope by looking away for 5-7 minutes (or if you're braver than me 2-3) near the end of the movie so I could have enjoyed James Franco's acting more and marvelled at the spectacular scenery.
Unfortunately the worry about whether I'd made the right decision by being there at all made me nervous throughout the film and I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have done if relaxed and confident. Especially as I'd heard repeated times about how graphic the soundtrack was going to be - it was fine.
I'll be doing a proper review of the movie and what I think in respect of its various Oscar nominations sometime next week (I've still got to tell you about The Social Network, The Town and other real-life things that have been happening to us that aren't on the silver screen).

The Academy to Fete Director Robert Benton in NYC
Beverly Hills, CA (May 25, 2011) - The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will celebrate the career of Oscar®-winning writer and director Robert Benton on Thursday, June 2, at 7 p.m. at the Academy Theater at Lighthouse International in New York City. Hosted by novelist and screenwriter Richard Russo (Nobody's Fool, "Twilight," "The Ice Harvest"), the tribute will feature film clips, remarks from colleagues and an onstage conversation with Benton. Special guests include composer Howard Shore, producers Arlene Donovan and Stanley Jaffe, and actress Margo Martindale.
Born and raised in Waxahachie, Texas, Benton earned his B.F.A. degree from the University of Texas and moved to New York to pursue a graduate degree at Columbia University. He started out at Esquire magazine as an assistant to the art director before being drafted into the Army and stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. After his discharge, he returned to Esquire and was soon promoted to art director. While at the magazine, he co-authored The IN and OUT Book with Harvey Schmidt. In 1966 It's a Bird…It's a Plane…It's Superman, a musical co-written by Benton and David Newman, opened on Broadway. A year later the duo earned an Academy Award® nomination for their first screenplay, "Bonnie and Clyde."
Benton and Newman then went under contract to Warner Bros., collaborating on "There Was a Crooked Man" (1970) and "What's Up, Doc?" (1972). Benton made his feature directorial debut with "Bad Company" (1972) starring Jeff Bridges; a few years later, he earned his second Oscar nomination for his original screenplay for "The Late Show" (1977) starring Art Carney and Lily Tomlin.
In 1978 Benton teamed with Newman, Newman's wife Leslie, and Mario Puzo on the screenplay for the box office hit "Superman," starring Christopher Reeve, Marlon Brando and Margot Kidder. His next project, "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979), won the Best Picture award and earned Benton two Oscars®, for Writing and Directing. Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep also earned Oscars for their lead and supporting performances, respectively.
Benton's third Oscar came in 1984 for his screenplay "Places in the Heart," for which he also earned a directing nomination. He was nominated again in 1994 for "Nobody's Fool," a screenplay he adapted from the novel by Richard Russo.
Tickets for "An Academy Tribute to Robert Benton" are $5 for the general public and $3 for students with a valid ID. Tickets will be available for purchase only on www.oscars.org beginning on Thursday, May 26, at 10 a.m. ET. There is a two ticket limit for this event.
The Academy Theater is located at 111 East 59th Street (between Park and Lexington avenues) in New York City. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Young At Heart
By JoAn Newby
Here we are rushing into Autumn and where has the summer gone? Our Blaine senior activity center seniors thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine with outdoor activities, such as picnics and bocce ball. Now they may enjoy the glorious autumn season, and also look forward to the coming indoor activities.
The cancer support group has 10 a.m.
meetings the second and fourth Monday of each month. This
group is there for anyone who has been or is affected by
cancer or interested in helping others with this problem.
Bowling is the first and third Mondays at the Ferndale Mt. Baker Lanes at 2 p.m., and loads of fun. No need to think one has to be an expert at bowling, just come along and enjoy yourself.
Tuesday brings pool games, stretch exercise, bocce ball (weather permitting, of course). There is an interesting bible study at 10:30 a.m., after the easy stretch exercise, and a sing-along with Trudy at 1 p.m., right after lunch. There is also a painting and beginner's computer class. There is some thought in having a men's bible study some time during the week. Let us know if you are interested.
Wednesday mornings bring china painting and writing classes. Afternoons are free for a variety of activities, such as table games, pool or darts.
Thursdays bring pool, stretch exercises, bocce or beanbag baseball, and a blood pressure check at 11 a.m. with a computer class at 2 p.m. The evenings have games such as pinochle from 6 to 9 p.m.
Fridays have the theater group meeting at 10 a.m.
Lunch with Barbara and October birthdays celebration will be
Thursday, October 18. Everyone is invited to lunch and formally welcome our new coordinator, Barbara Fischer.
Flu shots from Visiting Nurse will be Thursday, October 25 from 1 to 4 p.m.
Memory screening will be Tuesday, November 13. Sign up now. This free service is provided by the Alzheimer Society and can help to provide peace of mind. (Your memory is more normal than you think or prepare for future problems.) Tests will be given privately, by appointment, and of course, all results are confidential.
Haircuts are on Wednesdays, October 10 and 24 at 10 a.m. This basic hairdressing service for men and women is provided by Susan Brush. She will take a donation for the service. We appreciate it if you can sign up ahead of time, but we can fit you in if you don't.
There is an interest in having a reading club. Some have expressed interest in having a Harry Potter Reading Club. Now that all seven books of the Harry Potter series have been written a few people here at the center have expressed an interest in reading or re-reading them.
Want to go walking with friends? After
lunch is a great time to walk and now that we are fully
staffed again, either Turtle or Sheila will be free to
take a half hour to walk with some of our members. Let's
try it out and see if we can find a day that we can put
on the schedule over the winter.
The garden is almost done except for bringing in those pumpkins and mulching our space over the winter. The 7th Street Community Garden won a Blaine Builder's Award from the city, which you can see at the center.
The Bridge Club wants to grow, we are trying to get together a class so more people can get involved.
Sadly there are seniors in our community who are isolated for a number of reasons. Some because of health problems, loss of life partner, no friends or family nearby or simply living in a rural area. Our Blaine Senior Center delivers meals on wheels to some of the isolated seniors assuring them a warm nutritious meal each day, but often there is a need for more meaningful social contact.
The many benefits of good social connection include improved self-esteem and mental health, lower blood pressure and reduced risk for heart disease, and fewer tendencies for smoking, substance abuse, and obesity. One program available to Blaine area seniors is the Interfaith Coalition's Friendly Visitors program. This program screens trained compensated volunteers and isolated seniors to insure the best match possible. Volunteers make weekly visits, which may involve conversation or pursuit of common interests.

Without the Roanoke River Flood Reduction Project, city leaders firmly believe they never would've been able to pull off the annual Independence Day fireworks show because the River's Edge area would've been underwater.
"I think the flood reduction project really served us well during the rains we had [late on July 3rd and early on July 4th]," explained Roanoke city engineer Phil Schirmer.
The project took years to complete, and cost millions in taxpayer dollars, but city leaders said the facts clearly show that it's living up to expectations.
Schirmer said the city considered the July 3-4 flooding event a 25 year storm.
The Roanoke River crested at 14.5 feet, Schirmer explained.
The flood reduction project is designed to take a 30 year storm, Schirmer said.
He said areas that normally would've flooded before the project did not following the July 3-4 event.
Schirmer said the city suffered damage to a couple of bridges on the greenway, but that was about it.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Paul George scored eight of his 36 points in overtime and the Indiana Pacers defeated the Sacramento Kings 116-111 on Friday night.
The Pacers overcame a 17-point deficit and rallied in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Indiana outscored the Kings 13-8 in overtime to avoid a rare two-game losing streak.
Marcus Thornton scored 42 points and hit seven 3-pointers for the Kings. Isaiah Thomas scored 38, tying a career high. The undermanned Kings played without injured leading scorers DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay.
Lance Stephenson had 24 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for Indiana. David West had 22 points and both Roy Hibbert and George Hill scored 10.
In overtime, West made a 3 and George dunked after a steal, putting Indiana up 110-106. George later added a corner jumper for a 114-111 lead. George stole the ball from Thomas with 12 seconds left and was fouled. George made two free throws for a 116-111 lead.
George made a 3 and was fouled by Derrick Williams with 15 seconds left in regulation. George made the free throw for the four-point play, tying the game at 103. Thomas missed a jumper in the closing seconds, sending the game into overtime.
Cousins sprained his left ankle in second quarter in Wednesday's game in Houston and Gay went out in the opening quarter with an injury Achilles tendon. Both players are day-to-day.
The Pacers, who trailed by as much as 17 points, hardly resembled the NBA's top defensive team in the opening half, allowing 60 points.
Indiana entered the game having allowed fewer than 100 points in only seven of 41 games, including 11 games of 80 points or less.
After the Pacers cut the lead to a basket, Thomas followed with a 3 and two free throws and Thornton dropped in a short jumper, putting the Kings ahead 93-86 midway through the third quarter.
Thornton, who has struggled all season offensively and entered the game shooting 36 per cent, scored 22 points in an amazing first quarter. Thornton made 9-of-12 shots, including four 3-pointers in scoring the most points in a quarter this year for the Kings.
Thornton exceeded his season-high of 24 points late in the second quarter. On the Kings recent six-game road trip, Thornton had a 24 total points and shot 29 per cent. In his last nine games as a starter Thornton had failed to score in double figures.
Hill scored 10 points and George had eight in the third quarter when the Pacers cut the Kings' 10-point lead at intermission in half, pulling to within 84-79 entering the fourth. Thornton had 11 points in the third, but the Kings shot 31 per cent.
Thornton had 26 points for the Kings, who surprisingly dominated the first half and led 60-50.
NOTES: The Kings became the first professional sports team to employ the new Google Glass technology. The Kings' mascot (Slamson),dancers, sideline reporters and others closest to the court live-streamed their first-person views through Google Glass, allowing fans at the game, and viewing at home, to witness the courtside experience. . Former New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel was sitting courtside ... Manuel, who lives in the Sacramento region, is helping start a baseball program at William Jessup University in nearby Rocklin. . George was called for a technical foul after time expired in the second quarter, while West and Hill drew technicals in the third quarter

Why Is the Government Collecting Your Biometric Data?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The next time you get pulled over, watch for a blocky, black gadget attached to the officer's iPhone. That's the MORIS device, one of many mobile fingerprint and biometric scanners proliferating in police departments around the country. MORIS is designed to ascertain identity and dig up an unsavory past, but that's not all: the device can also gather iris scans, fingerprints, and photos searchable with face recognition technology.
Mobile scanners like MORIS are just one of the many ways biometric data (unique, identifying physical features including fingerprints, DNA or iris scans) is collected and potentially fed into government and private biometric databases that have swelled in both size and sophistication in the decade after 9/11.
The Department of Justice is expanding its fingerprint database to include iris scans, photos searchable with face recognition technology, scars, tattoos, and measures of voice and gait. The DoD collects iris scans, prints and face recognition photos from anyone coming in and out of Afghanistan; Department of Homeland Security gathers face recognition photos and fingerprints from people entering the U.S. Even motor vehicle departments in many states use face recognition technology to ID people when they get their licenses, and they tend to be cooperative with criminal investigations. The big agencies are also increasingly making their databases interoperable, so an immigrant's print that lands in the DHS database (IDENT) can be accessed by the FBI. Information is also shared with foreign governments and private companies.
In a recent EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) report, Jennifer Lynch chronicles the growth of biometric databases that contain everything from fingerprints to DNA to iris scans and face recognition images. Unsurprisingly, immigrants are one of the likeliest targets; Lynch talks about the LAPD's habit of cruising streets where day laborers gather and picking up their fingerprints with mobile scanners. The Secure Communities program, a more large-scale and catastrophic example, lets police send fingerprints to the FBI, which can share the information with DHS, which then deploys ICE to detain and deport undocumented immigrants.
AlterNet spoke with Lynch about the expansion of biometric data collection, the growth of databases and the impact on increased surveillance on citizens and immigrants alike.
Tana Ganeva: The scope of this data collection is so overwhelming. What are they trying to collect and why?
Jennifer Lynch: I totally agree that the scope of data collection is overwhelming. There's just so much that the federal government collects at this point. And there's so much data sharing going on between agencies, so many points of interaction with the government where data is collected. The data is pretty massive at this point.
Some of the key places the government collects data are at any kind of border crossing, if you're not a US citizen -- or what they call a "non-US person" -- or if you interact with the criminal justice system. And those are the two main ways that your data can be collected by the government.
TG: By "interact" with the criminal justice system, you don't mean just a conviction, but any encounter with police, like getting pulled over, right? You don't actually have to be guilty of something?
JL: Yes, any sort of arrest, and at this point, it could be as minimal as being stopped for a moving violation, because lots of police officers carry mobile fingerprint scanners. As I talked about in the report, even if you're just standing in the street corner in Los Angeles, trying to get a job, you can get your fingerprints scanned. So there are a number of ways even just the common citizen could have their fingerprints collected by the federal government.

Mashups: fan-fiction for music.
Do you have that friend who read Harry Potter fan fiction? Maybe you're lucky and know someone who dips his/her quill and scratches homages to their favourite worlds?
However I ask you, why do we sneer at fan fiction but bop to the spliced beats of mashups?
A mashup is simply fan-fiction for the music world.
Fan fiction stories are written by fans that extend the world and plots of adored novels.
Entire internet communities are dedicated to sharing and indulging in these homages. They might "correct" the story line, perhaps allowing the leading man and his female companion to live happily ever after. They provide the relief that another chapter offers.
When the story ends and the book closed, are we not killing the friends we made along the literary journey? They have no more words to say, adventures to experience or love to give. Why not preserve their memory and give them a few final moments, and bask in their accomplishments by the electric shock of fan fiction.
Mashups, on the other hand, are songs blended together by the music literate who share their love of music and introduce something new made from the old to the rest of us - often to our amazement and sometimes to our horror. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, two songs are burned (to CDs), mixed on decks, and out of the fire comes a fresh new beat.
It mixes a sense of familiarity and safety, with mystery and wonder. We explore a new aural landscape but with familiar friends and faces.
The next time you find your foot tapping along to a fresh but familiar beat - consider your literary inclined friends; or maybe revisit a long-lost character from your favourite novel.

Restful Authentication: Tokens or Cookies
What's the best way to authenticate clients for RESTful web services?
The clients may be AJAX (or single page web applications) running in the web browser or other machine-services.
Cookies are easy to use for both native browser-based applications (HTML forms) as well as AJAXy applications.
A simple design might be:
POST /sessioncreates an authenticated session and returns a set cookie.
DELETE /session/:idwill logout/remove the session and cookie.
Difficult for a single-page web application to check its authenticated state without performing a request. You necessarily incur network latency at application start even if all other resources are locally cached.
> 200ms may mean the difference between instant and regular web site.
This approach works well for native browser applications (HTML forms) because the login forms can be customised (as opposed to native HTTP authentication).
Cookies are easy to implement and typically supported by web application frameworks. This approach won't add to the implementation effort.
API Tokens
An API token is a server or client generated token that is appended to each HTTP request as part of the URI (or request body).
Machine services can consume a service easier using an API token: it's easier to append a query parameter in HTTP libraries than to setup cookie handling.
These tokens break HTTP caching because the URL changes per session.
It is not intuitive how session management would work this approach: how do you log out?
Web applications cannot have persistent sessions (between application starts) without resorting to cookies or storing the API token in HTML5 localStorage.
This approach is the same as using cookies but shifts the burden to the developer to append credentials to each request.
HTTP Authentication
HTTP Basic and Digest authentication schemes are provided for by the HTTP specification.
These solutions don't allow the login process to be customised and provide a bad user experience for logging on (standard forms are used). Similarly, no session management options are provided and you cannot logoff.
Ideal Solution
Pick the right tool for the job. I personally use cookies as described above for most projects, but there are times when other implementations are more appropriate (when it will only be used by machine-services for example).
This is a brief (and incomplete) summary of the issue. For more information, see the plethora of questions on StackOverflow.

Perfect Dev Environment for Building Single Page Web Apps.
jQuery (+ mobile), Backbone.js, Coffeescript and HAML-Coffee.
I started building a single-page mobile web app side-project on the weekend (hopefully I'll release it in the coming weeks). I spent a couple of hours creating the perfect development environment - its definitely share-worthy so here it is.
Node.js + Express
Node and Express provide the basic compilation architecture.
connect-assets is responsible for compiling and minifying all of my client-side code. This means that I can develop and use refresh to recompile.
haml-coffee is my client-side templating language.
connect-assets will compile all of the templates into
.js files and then automatically include them so you don't have to worry about dependency management.
stylus is similarly used for all my stylesheet needs.
Directory Structure
Your entire client-side application lives in
assets. This directory is compiled for each request (basically turned into single
.js files, etc).
assets/js- put all of your application code here (and any other libraries that you want included and minified into your application code).
assets/css- stylesheets.
assets/templates- all of your hamlc templates go in here.
The other important file is your
views/layout.jade file. This file generates the page that you will request from the browser and that will run your code. Basically you need to make sure you include your main application file and any other assets you need. For example:
link(rel='stylesheet', href='/stylesheets/style.css')
link(rel='stylesheet', href='http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.0/jquery.mobile-1.1.0.min.css')
!= js("underscore")
!= js("backbone")
!= js("swipe")
!= css("style")
!= js("app")
The difference between
script(src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js') and
!= js("underscore") is that the former is loaded from an external site, while the latter is included as part of my application and will eventually be minified into just a single
Including Other Files
This workflow uses
snockets (node version of
sprockets) to manage dependencies. Including another file is as simple as putting a comment at the beginning of the file:
#= require ../models
Similarly, you can require a whole directory (including sub-directories) of files by using
require_tree as such:
#= require_tree ../templates
Important tidbits for configuration - you need to add these lines to your
app.coffee file to get it to work properly.
hamlc = require("haml-coffee")
assets = require("connect-assets")
app.register '.hamlc', hamlc
assets.jsCompilers.hamlc =
match: /\.js$/
compileSync: (sourcePath, source) ->
assetName = path.basename(sourcePath, '.hamlc')
compiled = hamlc.template(source, assetName)
app.use assets()
In order to use a Coffeescript
app.coffee file - you should also create a
server.js which is what you'll actually run with the following in it:
To use the app simply run
node server.js and navigate to
That's the workflow - it's amazing quick to build and experiment with and let's you nicely build single-page web apps.
A special thanks to @vrouesnel (blog) for hooking me up with this environment.

Using an Auskey on Mac OS X Lion
If you're using an Auskey and you upgraded to OS X Lion you may find that you can no longer login to the ATO Business Portal.
The fix is very simple:
- Open Java Preferences (search for it using Spotlight by pressing Apple-Space and typing it in).
- Check the 'Enable applet plug-in and Web Start applications'
- Restart Safari.
You're Auskey will now work again.

Keeping Today Clean
Never have a list of things you have to get done 'today' that lasts longer than 'today'.
I use Things to store and plan tasks that I need to get done. When I first started using it, I would stack up my 'Today' list with aspirations - things which I thought I might be able to get done today. Then I would come back the next day. And they would still be there. And then the next, and there would even be a couple more items which I need to get done.
It's pretty disheartening to look at a long list of tasks you should be doing every morning. It hurts even more when its not really stuff you really care about.
The list of stuff you need to get done today should not be aspirational.
By having a long list of tasks I'll never get around to doing, it reduces the value of the list: I never get around to doing half of the stuff and it doesn't seem to matter (because you'll always get the important stuff done regardless). It also disincentivises me from checking it - why face this giant list that makes you feel bad?
I realized that I had to take control and stop using my task manager as an aspiration planner. Every morning I now compose a couple of 'must complete' items into my Today list. When those are done, I can tackle others from the 'Next' list. No more big hairy scary lists.

A Better Website Editing Workflow: Word to Markdown
For the SULS website, most people prefer to submit content in Word format (
docx or
doc). This presents a slight problem since the website uses Markdown for content.
The solutions:
- manually convert the word files to markdown (extremely tedious and spirit crushing);
- teach everyone how to use markdown;
- automatically convert the word files to markdown.
The second option seems reasonable, until attempted in practice. Markdown is an extremely simple format - and most people seem to get it really quickly. The problem is that the workflows for producing it are terrible. If people don't use a dedicated editor on Mac, they tend to use TextEdit which spits out
RTF files which have to be manually converted regardless. While software like Mou exists which is fantastic, not everyone has the latest version of OS X (which is required by Mou) or even runs Mac. On Windows, the WYSIWYG editor situation is pretty horrific as well.
Most of the Word content is actually pretty trivial (no complex formatting) - therefore automated conversion actually has a chance of working well. So, how do we do it? David on StackOverflow helpfully provides a solution:
textutil -convert html file.doc | pandoc -f html -t markdown -o file.md file.html
This actually works surprisingly well - however it does have some minor issues converting links and other things. It does reduce a lot of the legwork out of manually converting a lot of the content.
The main shortcoming seems to be with
textutil's conversion of
doc to
html. This could perhaps be remedied using Google Docs. One potential solution is to pull down all the website content dynamically from Google Docs as
html at compile time and then convert it to
md. This could provide a nice and seamless editing workflow.

An East Texas woman jogging along Rose Rudman Trail called 911 when a man allegedly exposed himself to her and other female joggers.
James Clayburn Kiser, 28, of Athens, was arrested at the scene. Now, this may be his first indecent exposure charge, but he is no stranger to the justice system.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Department said Kiser has been incarcerated 40 times since 2001.
For example, Kiser was arrested in October of 2004 for theft of a grave/human corpse; a state felony that authorities say he spent 360 days in jail for.
Later that year, he was charged with evading arrest with a motor vehicle, which is a first degree felony. Kiser was sentenced to 24 months in a state jail.
In 2009, Tyler Police Department arrested Kiser for possession of a dangerous drug and theft of a property for less than $1500, which is something he was arrested for again in 2011.
Wednesday's arrest just adds one more charge to his rap sheet.
"Upon further investigation we had enough information to take the subject into custody for indecent exposure breach of the peace," said Sergeant Desty Walsworth with the Tyler Police Department.
Several people jog the Rose Rudman Trail every day. Everyone KLTV spoke with said they never left their home without their cell phone.
Stephanie Gideon said she runs the trail about three times a week.
"I usually do carry my cell phone, especially for people like that. You never know who can come out of these trees and attack you," Gideon said.
De'Anna Wheeler has just started running this trail.
"I always keep my phone handy so I could just call the police," Wheeler said.
After Wednesday's incident, these women recommend others do the same.
"I advise especially young girls that come out here to bring their cell phones or come with someone, not by themselves," Gideon said.
Sergeant Walsworth offered the same advice.
"Be careful when you're walking in the park. Women, men please take your cell phones with you, so if you do ever need anything you can call us and we can respond and be here fairly quickly and help you out," Sergeant Walsworth said.
Which is exactly what happened Wednesday morning.
Kiser remains in Smith County Jail on a $500 bond.

Oracle gets more cloud footing with buy
The company will own a full range of cloud-based products with its acquisition of RightNow Technologies.
Oracle purchased the company to get a better footing in the cloud-based information-technology marketplace, where it competes with Salesforce.com (CRM) and other firms. Oracle also competes against enterprise software makers like SAP (SAP) and Microsoft (MSFT) in the enterprise market. Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.
RightNow offers cloud-based customer service and a full range products, including sales-force automation, talent management and social networking. Given that Oracle owns Java, it should be able to substantially expand RightNow's product offerings. Furthermore, Oracle will be able to offer more resources, which should add to RightNow's organic growth over time.
Customer-relationship management is a part of the application software business that accounts for around 23% of Oracle's $40 Trefis price estimate, which stands nearly 20% above its current market price.
Oracle's revenue has historically come from licenses for database, applications and middleware software (that are often deployed on the customers' local servers). But cloud computing is quickly becoming the preferred way for businesses to access these same products and services over the Web at a lower cost than pricey in-house systems.
Oracle's interest in cloud computing further validates the importance of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry. SaaS is largely seen as a disruptive technology and many companies are betting it will become industry standard in the coming years.
SalesForce.com is arguably the leading SaaS provider for businesses. However, Oracle's acquisition of RightNow sends a strong signal that it intends to compete head-on with SalesForce in this market.
When the acquisition is complete, Oracle will be better positioned in the emerging cloud-based marketplace. Adapting to market needs quickly through selective acquisitions bodes well for the company's long-term growth opportunities.
Shares of Oracle's stock rose more than 2.5% after the deal was announced (outpacing the overall movement of the S&P 500 index), signaling investor approval.
Expect to see more merger and acquisition activity in the information-technology industry as larger companies compete for market share in the cloud. Though this deal, Oracle is expanding its product line and becomes better able to both attract new and retain existing customers who demand cloud-based SaaS offerings. Expect to see Oracle's stock price grow accordingly.
See here for a more detailed breakdown of Oracle's share price.

MERRILL, WI (WSAU) - A rebuilt college campus has it's official grand reopening Wednesday. A tornado destroyed the Northcentral Technical College Merrill's Emergency Services Campus two years ago, and it's been rebuilt as a state-of-the-art facility.
What used to be two separate classroom and field sites is now one Public Safety Center of Excellence with three main components. There's a paved area for emergency operations training, a private stretch of roadway with various surfaces and turns for emergency vehicle training; and a four building emergency village for situational training of law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical teams.
1.8 million of the 2 million dollar cost was covered by insurance. About 110-thousand dollars was raised in donations from businesses and groups. The NTC Foundation also contributed $35,000 towards the reconstruction.
An open house will be held Wednesday, April 24. From 12:00 Noon until 2:00 p.m.

All of St. Olaf's points were scored by its starting five. The victors were paced by Kelsey Oja '09 with 15 points, as well as Jamie Erdahl '11 and Kristina Stoermer '08 with 14 points apiece. Danielle Stoermer '08 and Britta Hendrickson '09 each put up 10 points and at least seven rebounds.
After a cold-shooting first half for both teams, the Oles broke away and outscored Carleton 40-29 in the second half to win comfortably and run their record to 7-14 in the MIAC and 8-16 overall.
Danielle Stoermer was confident before the game given the Oles' ability. "We know that we have the determination and desire to beat any team -- which is exactly what we need to beat Carleton."
In an earlier game against Gustavus Saturday, the Oles coughed up a 31-29 halftime lead and fell 71-66 to the 16-7 Gusties. Four of St. Olaf's five starters managed double figures, and were led by 18 points and eight assists from point guard Erdahl. Danielle Stoermer '08 scored 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting while her sister Kristina posted a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds.
With the season winding down, the Oles lost leading scorer and key post contributor Elyse Erickson '09, who left to study in Australia for the semester after the team's game against Augsburg Feb. 4.
In reflections on the season with one game remaining, Danielle Stoermer was positive. "We have definitely struggled at times throughout the year, but we have really come together as a team and have learned a lot through the process -- both as basketball players and as young women," Stoermer said. "Our goals of being over.500 and making the playoffs obviously weren't met, but other stats (such as rebounds and shooting percentages) have gradually improved."
Stoermer was not at all surprised by the Oles' strong efforts against late-season elite competition. "Everyone is competitive and plays for the love of the game, so even though we can't make the playoffs we still have a lot to play for."
The Oles close out their season and bid farewell to their seniors with a home game Saturday against St. Kate's, a team just one game ahead of St. Olaf in the MIAC standings. The game will tip off at 3 p.m.

KINGSTON—For University of Rhode Island senior quarterback Bob Bentsen this is his last chance to make a positive impact before he exits the program.
It's the type of pressure any starting quarterback coming off a winless season would feel but for Bentsen – who grew up in Warwick – it means a little bit more being a local guy.
"We want to play well for the state," Bentsen says. "We've had a couple bad seasons and just to go out as winners and lay down the foundation [for the future] would be something special."
WEST GREENWICH—Monday was a good day for the Exeter-West Greenwich football team as it marked the first practice of the season for the Knights.
"It felt really good to be out there," EWG coach Jim Alves says. "The kids have worked hard in the offseason. Many of the kids that are coming back are seniors that are good leaders that have been with the program for the past three years."
NORTH KINGSTOWN—For the first time in a long time the North Kingstown football team's season ended on a high note with a win over rival South Kingstown on Thanksgiving Day.
While it counted for just one win in the standings, the true value of that victory was apparent Monday when the Skippers held their first practice of the fall.
"It's a huge confidence booster," senior Nick Chevalier said of last year's win over SK. "It's made everyone work that much harder to get to that level of play every game."
WEST WARWICK – When the dead of summer sets in, the idea of ice hockey has a tendency to be far from the mind.
For the members of the North Kingstown High hockey team, however, it is was out of the heat and back to the cool of the rink as they once again took part in the Rhode Island Summer Hockey League.
It was a season that came to a close last Thursday, as the Skippers were defeated 7-4 by East Greenwich High at Margiera Rink in West Warwick.
KINGSTON—The University of Rhode Island football team didn't win a game last season and there's no guarantee they'll win one this time around.
Regardless of how many victories the Rams finish with on the field, the boys in Keaney Blue have already clinched a winning season.
Evan Huddon has undergone nearly twice as many surgeries as he is years old.
When the 13-year-old boy from Warwick was born he was diagnosed with Spina Bifida – when the spinal cord does not full develop – and has subsequently been bound to a wheelchair.
WAKEFIELD – The time has come for Rhode Island high school football teams to begin their annual journey towards a Super Bowl championship as Monday marked day one of fall interscholastic sports practices.
At South Kingstown High School, the Rebels did not let the chaos and excitement of being back distract from getting right to work as they took to the field for the first time with just three weeks until their season opening injury fund contest.
NARRAGANSETT – For adults, the approach of Labor Day usually comes with the anticipation of a three-day weekend and possibly one last vacation before the weather turns.
For local youths, it signifies something worse; the end of summer vacation.
For the 53 students hoping to suit up for Narragansett High School this fall, the silver lining is that at least the end of summer means football is back.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – South Kingstown School member Liz Morris officially resigned Tuesday.
Morris, who was absent at Tuesday's meeting, sent a letter of resignation, dated Aug. 9, to the committee stating that she would be moving out of state.
Maureen Cotter, committee chair, read the letter aloud during the meeting.
CHARLESTOWN - The Charlestown Town Council will hold a public hearing tonight regarding the potential purchase of the 78 acres, known as the Whalerock property, to use as open space.
Developer Larry LeBlanc was in the midst of a public hearing before the Charlestown Zoning Board for permission to erect two 410-foot wind turbines on the site.
The zoning board hearing was stalled once the town began pursuing an option to purchase the property.
The hearing regarding purchasing the property will be held tonight at 7 p.m. at Charlestown Elementary School.
HOPKINTON― Even though the town council would like to give more money to the town's two libraries, the state-mandated "maintenance of effort" makes increases fiscally risky. If the town were to add to its library funding, it would be required to maintain that level in future years regardless of unpredictable budgetary shifts.
"The 'maintenance of effort' says you cannot give any less than you gave the prior year. Once you give, you cannot take away. It's a permanent increase," said Council President Frank Landolfi at Monday night's council meeting.

It's very lightweight and thin though it still has loads of space for all my stuff. It's weatherproof which is very useful when cycling and all on all it's good to know than your stuff is safe from the rain.

Hard drive death - vista install

Posted June 14, 2012 at 2:24PM
Hi I wonder if you can help me please. I'm not brilliant with pc's so please bear with me and be gentle!! My Son has an Acer media center desktop which was running Vista Home Premium. The system crashed (wouldn't boot past verifying DMI pool data) and due to buying the system 2nd hand, he didn't have any recovery discs, Original Vista recovery or system disc. He had also neglected to use the Acer recovery management console to create discs when he got it!! So, it was taken to the local pc repair shop who said they had to do a fresh install using a System disc. They said because the case has a licence for vista certificate stuck on it, they could do it. This removed the Acer recovery option for future use. The system has repeatedly crashed since and the same scenario plays out--the shop charges my son to do a 'fresh install'. I created a vista repair disc which kind of helps but the problem is getting progressively worse. The HDD, using chkdsk, is showing 4 bad sectors and it keeps losing the boot file image, or it becomes corrupt. Ive tried to back up his system but it keeps failing saying there is an I/O error preventing back up. So I thought of getting him a replacement HDD and reinstalling Vista operating system. I have access to a Microsoft Original Windows Vista Operating system disc. will I be able to use this to install the os and use his licence key from his tower case certificate/licence? thanks in advance.

There are six versions of Vista - Ultimate, Enterprise, Business, Home Premium, Home Basic and Starter. Provided that the disc you have is the same version as the one presently installed you should have no problem in using it with the license key on the tower case. You may have to re-activate it with Microsoft after installation and sometimes they may give you a phone number to call if activation is a problem, but I have never had any problem if I have to do so. Just have a pen and paper ready when they give out the registration numbers over the phone.

Buy a copy of Acronis TrueImage or D/L a free copy of Backup software like EaseUS Todo and create a backup when the system is working OK. You will have to put the backup on a separate partition or preferably a hard drive. If you havn't got a USB drive,any drive larger than 100GB would suffice, larger ones are not too dear.

Thats because they don't yet have a disco outfit for the yeti. Its all about attention to detail.
Off-topic poster is off-topic.
But to answer your question: It will take tons of money and downtime to fix. They don't have that money in the budget. Also, EE is one othe big draws of DAK. If they shut it down to fix it, attendance --already hurt by the sliding economy-- will drop even further. In a perfect world, the Yeti would be fixed, and fixed now. This is a less than perfect world. It will likely not be fixed for sometime.
Can we, as a people, please move on?
So much effort is put into these unique outfits for all these unique occasions. Not just in the parks, but for other occasions such as Disney Cruise Lines and Disney on Ice. I love being surprised when I see when Mickey and Minnie not wearing their traditional outfits. You rarely see them in the same unique outfit twice (most of time anyway).
Thanks, Robert, you have provided an excellent example to illustrate my point. This (in addition to cast member stories) is why I keep reading TPI!
You have a huge problem (broken yeti, nasty shark) that calls for something big to your area to be shut down(beautiful amity beach, Expedition Everest). But you can't shut it down because your economy (well attendance) depends on it.
Maybe we need to send Broady up there to fix the problem ;).
@38.104 - Sweet, short, and so right!
@207.114 - Agreed! I only saw it on A-mode, (luckily).
@Robert - The tank joke, good one. I'm still laughing!
But how about the poor Yeti, who cares about the poor thing, with his best days behind him, arthritic podium and all. Cause we all now he has to be scare sleepless, thinking; Oh lord! Don't let them put up a screen here and convert me to Yeti-3D! The poor thing alone in that mountain, with all those disco lights, and not a cocktail/beer, in sight to drown his sorrows!
I'm just saying...
You're gonna need a bigger throat.

Bonito del Norte is considered by Spaniards the finest of tunas. This thin, white fish has a mild flavor and is lower in fat than other varieties of tuna. Each is line-caught individually and packed in olive oil to keep it moist and flavorful.
Coleman Andrew, the Editor-in Chief of Saveur Magazine writes that Bonito tuna is "one of the great gastronomic pleasures of every day life."
The delicate flavor and texture of Bonito tuna is preserved by the ecological and dolphin-safe line-catching method, as it avoids the stress damage caused by harvesting by net. Enjoy this delicious tuna in salads, sandwiches, or as a stuffing for piquillo peppers.
Warning: once you taste this silky smooth tuna, you may never buy another tin of ordinary tuna!

Freaking Your Doctor Out with LCHF
I recently paid a visit to the infectious disease doc I've been seeing since I was in the hospital a few months back. I've been battling a raging case of c diff (still persisting, I'm sorry to report), and this was the latest follow-up.
He's a very personable and likeable guy — one of my favorites among the vast array of doctors I've seen in recent months trying to figure out what the heck is going on with my bod. But here's the fun part…
During the course of the visit I shared that my Hemoglobin A1C level had gone from a frightening 11.1 back in October when I was admitted to the hospital to an impressive 5.4 a couple of weeks ago. His eyebrows shot up in surprise and he exclaimed over how wonderful that was, assuring me that most diabetics struggle for months and months to see it go down by even 1 or 2. He made no attempt to hide his surprise.
Then he made his fatal mistake: he asked me to what I attributed the success.
His pleased surprise quickly turned to skeptical resistance when I replied that it was our low carb high fat lifestyle. He clearly didn't like my answer (think Naughton's doctor not liking his cholesterol levels after eating fast food for a month). Even when I added that I've lost about 35 pounds. Not even when Brian chimed in that he'd lost nearly 100.
Yet I have no trouble believing that many folks struggle to get their A1C down when they leave the hospital or doctor's office, as I did a few months ago, with the instruction to take insulin, take pills, and eat 60 grams of carbs per meal. Frankly, I'm amazed they can even get it down a point or two with the advice of most medical professionals, including doctors, but especially nutritionists and diabetes counselors who worship at the low fat temple. And forget about the weight loss that will help get your body back to a state of regulating itself.
But don't think we're through with the poor doc. Now that we've cracked open the LCHF door, we're already talking about how to bust it wide open.
You guessed it: he's been added to our list of recipients the next time we invest in a supply of Taubes books. Couldn't happen to a nicer doc.

Vang Bridle Attachment
Can I change the attachment point on the tabernacle for the vang bridle and still be class legal?
Brent Sells
Vang Bridle Attachment
The class specs say that the vang has to be attached to the tabernacle. A specific attachment point is not specified.
Check out: http://www.fssa.com/files/master_constitution_bylaws_3-24-2012.pdf
The pdf file contains the specifications for the boat and the Chief Measurer's Rulings.
Flying Scot #1087
Legal, but
Sounds like it may be legal, but if you move the attachment point up, you are pulling the boom forward more and possibly putting more pressure on the mast and gooseneck.
In a lower position it seems it would pull down more.
Seems like most boats have it in the stock position. Does your boat have wooden tab on the stanchion that the CB line passes through? This is designed to keep the vang line off the CB line.
Phil Scheetz
Fleet 163, Nockamixon Sail Club
Vang Bridle Attachment
I added a picture of the way it's set up on my boat. Click here. The white line with the red flecks is the boom vang bridle. This setup is original to the boat, which was built in 1967. There are no indications that the vang bridle has been set up any other way. I have had the vang on hard enough to bend the boom to the point that I thought it might break and there has never been a problem.
Flying Scot #1087
To keep the vang line out of
To keep the vang line out of the centerboard wheels, tie a piece of bungee cord to the holes where the lifting bridle bolt goes. Run the bungee under the vang line first. Adjust the length of the bungee to what is needed to keep the line out of the wheels.
Vang Bridle Attachment Point
As I recall from many years ago the newer, further forward attachment point for the bridle was a change advocated by Sandy when he realized that it would reduce the increase in tension that occurred when the boom was let out.
I expect Harry could confirm this.

Attention Kmart shoppers: scruffy-yet-hot Voice coach in aisle 7.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Adam Levine will be making a personal appearance at a Kmart in Los Angeles on Thursday to hype his new clothing collection, which features gingham, plaid and chambray button-downs, henleys, cardigan sweaters, skinny jeans, jackets, scarves and belts. The Maroon 5 singer will be at the Kmart at 6310 W. 3rd Street from 5 to 7 p.m., and the first 100 members of Kmart's "Shop Your Way" program in line will get a photo with him.
Adam has previously said that his line, whose pieces range from $9.99 to $69.99, is basically the sort of stuff he'd like to wear himself, and describes the clothes as what you'd find in his "his dream closet." "It has to be good," he told Access Hollywood . "If it's not good, I look like an idiot."
