hi Al-Allo
Aaron reads 3 times faster than Shad and Patrick reads 4 times faster than Aaron. If Patrick reads 4 pages in 1 hour, how many pages reads each of his two comrades?
Oh dear, no wonder we were not agreeing. So let's recap the problem
This is still in a muddle. When you first made this post, you had Shad and Patrick the other way round in your answer. Last night you edited the post, swapping the names over. So your answer still doesn't match the problem as stated.
Omg, I just saw the error. I didn't write correctly the problem.. Aaron reads 3 times faster then shad and patrick reads 4 times faster then Aaron.
If Aaron reads faster then Patrick is the slowest reader.
Ok, but I under the logic behind that one persone is slower than an other but your answers are wrong and This I what I got :
hi Al-Allo
How come ? I got the answer perfectly with them ...
Sorry, I confused the names, thanks for the correction. But what I'm asking is X represent the number of pages read by Patrick, right ?
Hi Al-Allo. Your equations are wrong. They should be as follows
Hi Al-Allo!
Aaron reads 3 times faster than Patrick and Shad reads 4 times faster than Aaron. If Patrick reads 4 pages in 1 hour, how many pages reads each of his two comrades? I know how to resolve the problem, but I just wanna be sure I resolved it in the right way.

Planning a vacation or a Spring Break getaway? That can sometimes be difficult for a large family, let's explore some frugal travel options.
Plan ahead, anyone traveling with children must plan ahead. Even if it's a simple family-friendly vacation to visit the relatives, you might like to start planning two to three months in advance. For a big family vacation, plan a year or more in advance. Many resorts and cruise lines have deals for early bookings, allowing families to save money.
Family Vacation Time in the Low Season
Taking a family vacation during the "off" season is another option to help to save money. When everyone else returns to work or school, vacation cities and resort towns look for ways to fill empty hotels and vacation homes. Large family vacations may be cheaper if planned in early fall or right after Christmas.
Vacation Accommodations for Large Families
Staying in a hotel can be the biggest expense for a large family. Since most chains limit how many people can stay in a room, this usually means that two or more rooms will be needed. Places like Comfort Inn or hotels ending in the word suite, (Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites), are family-friendly and usually have hotel rooms for big families at reasonable rates.
Look at alternatives to staying in expensive hotels. Many large families go camping or own an RV. Consider buying a large family tent, pop up camper, or RV. Good deals on camping equipment can usually be found right after Christmas and after hunting season.
If camping won't work for your family, consider renting a vacation home. Many resort locations offer the rental of a nice vacation home for around a $100 to $150 a night. However, renting a vacation home usually requires a minimum of a five-night stay.
Theme Parks
For many families with children, a family vacation destination is often a theme park like Six Flags, Sea World, or Disney World. With a little planning, it is possible to enjoy a day at a theme park with a large family. As vacation season approaches, start looking for special deals, discounts, and group rates to the parks of your choice. Many national grocery store chains offer season passes to local amusement parks for just a little more than a one day pass!
State Parks and National Parks
Vacation destinations are sometimes planned around the locations of state parks and national parks. Every state has several parks to choose from. These parks offer camping and RV sites. A few offer the use of covered shelters and air conditioned cabins. This is a cheap alternative to an expensive hotel. Campground fees vary, but it would be rare to spend more than $80 a night even for the best accommodations. There are many fun, family activities to do while staying at a state park. Most state parks offer swimming, fishing, and hiking.

Need a few more ideas? Check out my e-books Molly Goes Camping and Molly Saves on the Go. Both of these are full of resources for family travel and recreation on a budget.
Do you have a family trip planned this year? Where are you going and what frugal tips have you planned to the save while traveling?

Anyone who knows Debra Lee Baldwin is aware of her extraordinary prowess as an author, writer, photographer, and artist. As a co-contributor at Gardening Gone Wild for 4 plus years, I've had the good fortune to develop a professional relationship and friendship with her. Not only is Debra Lee all of the above, but she is also a kind and generous individual. In this discussion, she talks about her newly published book, Succulents Simplified ~ it is a work of art. Fran Sorin
1. Can you share where your passion for succulents began and how it developed over the years?
I grew up with succulents in dry gardens in Southern CA and never thought of the plants as special. They were what people grew if they couldn't afford automatic irrigation. If you neglected to hose-water, the succulents usually survived, at least the big, mature ones did—agaves, jade and prickly pear were bulletproof. Later, I planted cuttings from my parents' garden in my own, and succulents proved to be the least trouble. But I was much more enthralled with cannas and roses. Then several things coalesced: the seemingly endless CA drought; more varieties of succulents than ever before; and a realization on the part of the gardening public that flower or tropical gardens may be unwise in terms of time, water and aesthetics over the long run. Rosette and sculptural succulents were what forward-thinking designers were installing. After seeing my scouting shots of many such gardens, my Sunset editor suggested I write a book. Designing with Succulents, the first in the trilogy, came out in 2007.

Franklin >Food & Dining > Super Suppers Franklin
1031 Riverside Dr Ste M, Franklin, TN | Directions 3706435.911851 -86.828319
Mon & Fri: 10am to 6pm
Tues - Thurs: 10am to 7pm
Sat: 11am to 6pm
Sun: Closed
You need to check it out! – I have been a customer for 5 years and have really enjoyed NOT having to worry about making dinner. The meals are always delicious and the whole family enjoys them. I save money and time using Super Suppers for dinner! Their Grab N Go freezer always has plenty to choose from.
Great Variety, Easy Prep, Inexpensive Dinners – The variety that Super Suppers in Franklin offers is
amazing! Never bored - in fact I cant wait to try new dishes every month but love my favorites which are always available!
Wonderful Service and Great Food! – Thanks for the wonderful service and great meals! I'm a working mother of two. I usually get my groceries once a week and do all the prep cooking in the weekends! I will be so busy after work to prepare dinners for the family. We will have dinner quite late. I have no time to talk or do anything with my kids before they go to bed. Now, I do. I simply put the dinners in the oven and I still have time to talk or play with my kids before dinner. Believe it or not, my kids and my husband love the food. We enjoy it so much that we will have 2 or 3 times a week. The service is great. They give me many choices and suggestions. Very friendly and helpful people. I would suggest Super Suppers to all my friends.
Love the food and service – Thanks to so many of my friends who told me about this place. I waited for a while before I decided to try it. Once I did, I got hooked! It saved me so much $$ compared to eating out. Most importantly, it saves me TIME! I no longer have to stop by fast food chain. I can put dinner in the oven, take my son out to soccer practice, come home to wonderful aroma in my house. Dinner is ready as soon as my son washed up! Love it. My husband and I lost weight too. We used the nutrition info on the web to choose our meals. Many diet plans had failed us but the PORTION CONTROL is it! I no longer have to eat more than I should. In the past, I made meals to use up ingredients to avoid spoilage so always ended up with a lot and we would eat more than we should. The Super Suppers portion is just right and so much less sodium than eating out. Many of the entrees go so well with just salad. There're nights we just use paper plates so there's very minimum cleaning up. Love it! Thanks Super Suppers!
Easy and Healthy Way to Feed Family Members -- Even Picky Ones! – This is the first review I've written for CitySearch, but wanted to tell how wonderful the Super Suppers Franklin is. I joined when my husband was deployed to Iraq and it allowed me to serve the kids actual food, even when my mind was thousands of miles away on other matters. (My kid doesn't like onions -- no problem. They make to order.) After a few months of consistently good quality food, I actually bought a freezer for my garage and stocked it full of meals. Since then, our house has become a much more hospitable place. Thanks, Super Suppers!
My favorites: cranberry BBQ meatballs, parmesan chicken with sage sauce, and Asian flank steak!
Also -- don't think this is a luxury. Although you do have to add side dishes sometimes, the meals come down to about $3 per serving.
Good Food, Great Price, Save Time, Gas and Money! – You cannot beat the service offered by this unique food business.
Menus are great and they will customize your order.
I order my monthly dinners online, and either put the meals together myself
or if in a real hurry, I just have them put them together for me and pick them up.
The dinners are ready to cook, great instructions, and I do not have to go to the
grocery store, and save tons of time!
If you are in a hurry, sick of eating out, stressed out, or just prefer to spend your time on something else,
this is the way to eat! And its so inexpensive that I have to blink when I see all the dinners I get for
about $160! Fabulous!
NOT good, SAVE your money!!! – Portions are lacking, VERY bland food, over priced. Go to costco and pick something up from the cold cases or the freezer section if you need convenience....this was not worth it!!!!!

Project Plan For eTrice, version 0.3.0
This document is about the development progress for the eTrice release 0.3
Release Deliverables
The release deliverables consist of the following items:
- eTrice modeling tools (includes runtime, sources, tutorial and documentation) (ZIP file download and update site).
- eTrice Java code generator, middleware and model library (no download but installable by a New Wizard shipped with eTrice).
- eTrice ANSI-C code generator, middleware and model library.
- eTrice C++ code generator, middleware and model library.
- eTrice tests (no download, executed in central Hudson build)
Release Milestones
Target Environments
In order to remain up-to-date, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. The eTrice project depends upon the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. The 0.3.0 release of the eTrice Project is written and compiled against the Juno APIs, and targeted to run on version 1.6 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. eTrice will be tested and validated against a subset of target environments listed for the platform.
eTrice aims at real-time and embedded developers. All texts come by default in English only, no internationalization is planned.
Compatibility with Previous Releases
There will be additional features in models and code generators, leading to limited compatibility.
Themes and Priorities
With the third release of eTrice consolidation and integration of various contributions are the main themes.
Consolidation of Existing Features: Model Editors, Generators and Runtimes (Java and C)
Exisiting features will be consolidated. Some minor features are missing in the C generator, others are missing in the Java generator. We will add more test to get a better coverage of tested features. We will also do some re-factorings and round-offs where appropriate.
Integration of Google Summer of Code Projects
Summer 2012 we had three Google Summer of Code students working on eTrice projects
- Diagram Layout with KIELER
- Generic Action Code Language
- Extended Model Validation and State Graph Proposal Generation Based on Protocol Semantics
First Version of the C++ Generator and Runtime
A first version of the C++ generator and runtime was contributed which we will integrate to make it available to the community.
Improved Documentation and Tutorials
The documentation will be completed and more tutorials will be added.

Please help.
I have multiple controllers that I need to have call a method in the corresponding model to check a condition when the user attempts to create a new object. If the condition is met then I would like to redirect the user back to the index page. If the condition is not met then I would like to continue with the create.
For example, if I am in a model called "Project". I would like the controller to fire the method Project.some_condition before the create method. If the condition is true then do X else do Y.
Thank you in advance! Also, I know that I can put a before_create filter in each model but I'm trying to learn how to do this via metaprogramming.
I realize this won't help you work on your metaprogramming, but I believe you want to change Project.some_condition to Project.some_validation and then call #save in your controller.
I'm not clear how you would use metaprogramming to do what you've described. More fundamentally, I'd suggest that you avoid trying to use metaprogramming to solve problems that don't require metaprogramming; doing so will just make your code more difficult to maintain and understand. If you're interested in learning more about how metaprogramming works Dave Thomas has a nice set of screencasts on the topic that are easy to follow.
Thanks for the reply. A validation would work. However, what I'm trying to do is to avoid code duplication (which lead me down the metaprogramming path). Is there a way to create a custom validation that you could use against multiple models? For instance....
XXXXX being the model that I'm validating against
Again, don't be too quick to jump to metaprogramming for something like this. Tried and true object orientation will eliminate your code duplication far more easily and cleanly. You could put the validation on a base class and have each of the classes you care about derive from that class. Using inheritance in this way makes more sense if your classes have some form of substitutable relationship above and beyond the validation. Alternately, you could put your validation into a module and include it into each class. For example:
module LimitValidation
def self.included(klass)
klass.instance_eval do
validate :thing_is_within_limit
def thing_is_within_limit
class OneThingICareAboutLimiting
include LimitValidation
class AnotherThingICareAboutLimiting
include LimitValidation
Hi Michael,
first, Adam is totally right that you should only turn to meta programming if it is truely necessary and plain OOP doesn't yield a solution. However, what you describe might be an "advice" as in AOP. This would mean that your "condition check" should be viewed as an "aspect" of your object model. In this case you could simulate a pointcut by using the Rails before filter in your controllers/application.rb.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filer :check_condition
In the "check_condition" method you could indeed use some rather ugly meta programming to call a validation method on your model (I didn't actually test this code, but something like this might work):
def check_condition
controller_name = self.class.to_s plural_name = controller_name.sub('Controller', '') model_name = plural_name.classify my_model = model.name.constantize my_model.check_condition(some_params)
Although I don't know whether this code works as is if you just copy/paste, you should be able to see the idea. I first get the name of the controller class (e.g. "ProjectsController"). Next I strip the "Controller" part to only get the pluralized name of the model (Rails convention, e.g. "Projects"). "classify" turns a plural name into a singular model name ("singularize" would probably also be possible here; e.g. "Project"). Finally "constantize" turns a string into a class on which you can call the static "check_condition" method (this method you would have to define for each model class).
I hope this helps. If anyone out there knows a more elegant solution (apart from Aquarium for Ruby ;)), please let us know!

Project Instructions
Getting Started
Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly. Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275°F (130°C) for 15 minutes per ¼" (6mm) thickness. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use. Baking should be completed by an adult.
Begin by preheating oven to 275°F (130°C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.
Step 1 Roll out a sheet of pewter clay to about 1/8" thick. The piece of clay should be at least 1" wide and 6" long. Set up the alphabet stamper with a phrase that you would like to imprint in the clay.
Step 2 Trim underneath the phrase with the Super Slicer wavy blade. Trim above the phrase with the straight blade.
Step 3 Lay the quarter or other circle template in front of you. Place the clay strip with the center of the phrase at the 6 O'clock position. Gently bend the clay around the circle template, making sure the clay strip stays flat as you bend it. Make sure the tail ends of the clay strip overlap each other completely.
Step 4 Using the straight blade, cut a seam through both layers of the tail ends of the clay strip. Remove the excess clay trimmings. Gently smooth the seam with your finger.
Step 5 Roll out a sheet of pewter clay about 1/8" thick. Using the ring shape from the mini metal cutter set, cut out the ring shape. Cut out the band area of the ring shape with the end of a drinking straw. Gently press a large rhinestone (make sure you are able to bake it) into the ring shape. If your rhinestone is flat-backed, you will want to glue it in permanently with clear, fast-drying glue.
Step 6 Using a toothpick, poke two holes into the top area of the phrase strip. These holes should be directly in the top and one above the other. Bake your project according to manufacturer's instructions.
Step 7 After baking, fasten the ring charm to the phrase circle with a jump ring through the bottom hole. Place another jump ring through the top hole of the phrase circle. This jump ring will be for attaching the finished charm to a bouquet with a ribbon. If desired, use the head pins to turn beads into charms. Attach the bead charms to another jump ring and fasten it to the top jump ring on the bouquet charm.

Animation Chain is a JavaScript object that provides a simple way to chain jQuery animations for different objects. When creating user interface, you often need to make animations happen in a certain order. jQuery's .animate method provides the ability to do just that by taking a function object as a parameter, called once an animation is completed. After a few chained animations, the readability of your code is reduced considerably. The object can control animations for different objects and provides complete control over playback. A callback method can be executed upon completion of the whole cycle.
Bart is a puzzle-style game. In a maze, there is a human and several monsters. The human wants to escape (reach the "exit" point). The monsters, as you may have already guessed, want to eat him for breakfast. The human is in a panic, and you cannot control him at all! He runs in a straight line until reaching a wall, and then turns in a random direction and runs again or explores the maze. One way exists to help the human: you may rotate walls.

But former JMU women's basketball star Tamera Young (JMU '08) always knew what she wanted to be when she grew up.
"When I was younger, I used to always tell my mother that I was going to major in basketball," the forward reflected. "She always said 'that's not a major!' So after I got drafted, I said 'see? I told you I was going to major in basketball."
While Young actually majored in kinesiology, she has made her living playing basketball. She was the No. 8 selection by the Atlanta Dream in the 2008 WNBA Draft, the first draft pick in JMU women's basketball history. After spending a season and a half with the Dream, she was traded to the Chicago Sky where she currently sees considerable time off the bench.
"I've just been trying to be that spark of energy off the bench and help the team anyway I can," she acknowledged. "I'm known as the energizer bunny and the defense stopper…it just brings our intensity up, so I think it's an important role."
Young is currently averaging 16.8 minutes per game off the bench, grabbing 4.1 rebounds and posting 5.5 points per game. Over the course of her career, she has averaged 20.2 minutes of playing time per game with 3.5 rebounds and 6.8 points per outing.
In 2012, Young became the sixth player in Sky history to surpass the 1,000-point mark. Since that point, she has increased her point total to nearly 1,200 points.
But Young is not content to simply play the game she's loved her whole life for a few months out of the year. When the WNBA adjourns for the year, she packs her bags and follows her dream overseas.
"I've gotten to play in Turkey, France, Spain, Latvia and Israel," revealed Young. "I love playing the game and, overseas, it is a different game than the WNBA. My role is different, but I love being able to play the game. Seeing different cultures is great experience as well as a great blessing, so I'm fortunate for it."
Young looks to continue living her dream of playing basketball for the foreseeable future and is still looking to snag a championship win.
"I tell myself often that I want to play at least 10 years, then get into coaching," said Young. "I don't really know, you can set dreams and goals down and just hope for the best."
No matter what Young does in the future, she has already filled her resume with impressive accolades. During her time in a James Madison uniform, she set a then-school and conference record as she dropped 2,121 points on opponents. She also snagged 1,127 rebounds, just the second player in school history to surpass the 1,000-rebound plateau.
She was also a top recruit coming out of Laney High School, where she led the Buccaneers to a regular-season conference title in 2003 and back-to-back tournament championships in 2003 and 2004. Her accolades during high school earned her induction into the Laney Hall of Fame this past winter…where she had a few surprise guests for her induction.
"It was one of the biggest surprises, I had no idea they were coming!" Young remembered fondly. "Before my name was called and I went out to the floor, Coach Brooks walks in. And then the rest of the girls walked in, so it was just a shock. It was an indescribable feeling because it was so unexpected and the way it happened. I was just so excited to have them there."
The induction fell on the same weekend that the Dukes had a game scheduled to be played at UNCW. Coach Brooks and the team were able to keep their plans of a detour secret and were on hand to watch a member of the women's basketball family receive her award.
"The [JMU women's basketball team] was my family for four years," she declared. "To know that they still support me and where I am is a great feeling."
Young does not get back as much as she would like to, but whenever she has the time, she makes her way back to Harrisonburg, even for just a day or two. And she's forever a member of JMU Nation.
"I love JMU Nation and I miss them dearly. Go Dukes!"
The Sky is currently in first place in the WNBA's East Conference, holding a 2.5 game lead over the Dream. Both squads will face off three more times before the regular season ends in

History of Tudor Games - Written by Earl Shores
Electric Football's ancestry can be traced back to 1929, when Elmer Sas incorporated Tudor Metal Products in New York City. The company survived the Depression through the popularity of its Budget Bank, which Elmer created. In the late 40's, Elmer's son Norman became president of Tudor, and invented the toy we all know and love - - Electric Football.
Those early No. 500 Electric Football models look crude to the modern eye - - but, just for a second, imagine being a child on Christmas morning in 1949. No spinners, no dice, no cards to flip over. . . just turn on the game and watch your players run - - all by themselves!
Electric Football was an immediate hit, captivating boys' imaginations like few toys ever had. Tudor produced the first all-plastic 3-D men in 1958. In the early 60's, industrial designer Lee Payne was showing Norman Sas a set of player prototypes whose realism would change Electric Football forever. Tudor introduced these players on its first large game, the 1962 #600 model.$79.95

Niswonger performance to honor Floyd Cramer9:12 am | November 2, 2012
GREENEVILLE – "The Legacy of Floyd Cramer," featuring the famed pianist's grandson Jason Coleman, will be performed at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center Sunday, Nov. 11, at 3:30.
Coleman, 27, will not only be playing some of his grandfather's songs, but will help kick off the Festival of Trees at the center by playing some favorite Christmas music.
Born and raised in Nashville, Coleman said, "I'm thankful to have the opportunity to make a career out of doing something I love. God has blessed me with a gift — I have played the piano all my life, since I was able to reach the keys as a little kid, or so my parents tell me. What makes things interesting though, is the fact that I was fortunate enough to be born with the genes of a piano legend; my grandfather, Floyd Cramer."
Before the 3:30 concert, from 1-3 p.m., there will be an open house and official lighting of the Christmas trees for the 2012 Festival of Trees, sponsored by Wellington Place Assisted Living and the center. Cookies and punch will be served; there is no admission but guests are invited to bring canned foods for the Food Bank.
Tickets for the Coleman concert are $22.50 for adults and $10 for students. For more information or to buy tickets, call the NPAC Box Office at 638-1679 from 11:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Niswonger Performing Arts Center is next to Greeneville High School at 212 Tusculum Blvd. For more information visit the website at www.greenevillenpac.com.

Rumor has it that John Mayer is planning on making an honest woman of gal pal, Katy Perry. While this is certainly one of those rumors that one should probably take with a grain of salt, you've got to admit that John Mayer's first trip down the aisle could create enough tabloid mayhem to upstage KimYe. The pair just enjoyed a cozy spa weekend together. (And you know what happens when popular celebs start weekending it on the regular.) Details may be sketchy on John's matrimonial intentions; but we can admit that the prospect sounds like a good one. Here's why…
John definitely isn't old, but he is at a reasonable age when many men start thinking about settling down and having children. Some believe that Katy is already giving motherhood serious consideration. Her apparent desire to "nest" just might work out nicely if Mayer happens to be on the same page.
He needs to clear his conscience.
As one of Hollywood's notorious heartbreakers, the "Battle Studies" singer has a reputation for dating (and dumping) some of the industry's hottest names. Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, and Jessica Simpson all suffered publicly at the hands of Mayer. And although each of these women has had some unpleasant dating labels attached to their famous names, it's likely that John has a little residual guilt for the way things went down. By proposing to Katy, he's making a conscious decision to finally put his wayward romance techniques behind him.
Katy's "independent."
That leads us to this point. Sources close to the couple imply that the two are a good match particularly because of Perry's independence: "John really likes the fact that Katy is so independent and not needy or clingy like the other girls he's dated," one says. The "Part of Me" singer has a monster pop career to hold down, as well as a whimsical personality. She's also considered the one who "tamed Russell Brand," so it's possible that she stands up to Mayer more than the others. They've been going strong for months, even spending the holidays with her very traditional, religious family. It's hard to tell whether or not a proposal is on the horizon. But perhaps in this case, no news is good news.

On a recent morning in Miami Beach, a middle-aged man in a tracksuit was walking along Lincoln Road, the glitzy strip that runs from the ocean to the bay, when he veered away to investigate an orchestral tumult emanating from a nearby park. It was the sound of the New World Symphony rehearsing Wagner's "Flying Dutchman" Overture. The ensemble, an advanced-training orchestra under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas, was settling into its new home, the New World Center, and technicians were testing an array of a hundred and sixty-seven speakers that relays music from the concert hall to the park outside. "You gotta come hear this," the man barked into his phone. "It's unbelievable."
Walking behind him, I had the same thought. The speaker system has enormous impact, but without the fuzzy bloat typical of outdoor amplification. A few artificially beefy bass notes aside, it captures, to an amazing degree, the airy power of sound reverberating in space. It operates in tandem with an equally impressive video-projection apparatus, housed in a podlike contraption out of the "Alien" movies, that throws crystalline images onto an exterior wall measuring seven thousand square feet. Two days later, the system had its official début, and close to a thousand people gathered on the lawn for the occasion. At one point, I walked around the edge of the park, which is called the SoundScape, watching passersby as they registered this musical mirage in the Miami night. Three teen-agers stopped on the sidewalk. "This is so gay," one of them said, unenthusiastically. But they stood there for a good minute before checking their phones and moving on.
The New World Center is the creation of Frank Gehry, who is at once deeply attuned to classical music and keenly skeptical of its surrounding culture. When, two decades ago, he designed Disney Hall for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, his aim was to present the orchestra as a vibrant organism, not as a decrepit form trapped within a fortress of culture. The New World Center is an even more radical articulation of the same idea. At first glance, it's unprepossessing, its wide façade presenting the projection wall on one side and a curtain of glass on the other. It lacks the swooping lines of a classic "Gehry building." Inside the glass enclosure, though, is a nest of irregular shapes—internal structures that contain rehearsal studios and practice rooms. The implication is that you need to walk inside to discover what the place is about—in contrast to Disney, whose metallic exterior is more traditionally monumental. When Gehry asked Tilson Thomas what kind of hall he wanted, the conductor asked simply for a space that invites people in, and early evidence suggests that he got his wish. The SoundScape, the projection wall, the tantalizing inner forms, the glass-walled rooms that reveal musicians practicing: these all pique the curiosity of newcomers, if only for a moment.
The New World complex seems to reflect not only the personality of the architect but also the boyish enthusiasm of Tilson Thomas, its sixty-six-year-old artistic director. Gehry was among the first to notice that enthusiasm: nearly six decades ago, in Los Angeles, he was a babysitter for the young Tilson Thomas and listened to him talk about his favorite composers at the piano. The New World Center is likely to become an incomparable vehicle for music education, in keeping with the mission of its resident group. The New World Symphony, which Tilson Thomas founded in 1987, is something between a student orchestra and a professional ensemble: its members are culled from the ranks of leading conservatories, and spend three years in Miami before moving on to other jobs.
No one is quite sure how a New World concert is supposed to go, and all kinds of experiments have ensued. In place of the standard two-hour show, the New World is trying out Journey concerts (extended explorations of a single composer); Discovery concerts (dissections of a single composer, with video enhancements); Pulse concerts (clubby events that go from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M.); an evening of several thirty-minute performances, each costing two dollars and fifty cents; and Gallery Walks, with musicians performing all over the building. Some formats may go over better than others—the Schubert Journey that I witnessed during the inaugural week of the New World Center meandered in the middle—but the laboratory spirit of the place is healthy.
Tilson Thomas is also an unusually tech-savvy conductor, and the New World Center is a maximally wired space. Each room is connected to Internet2, the university-based broadband network, which allows members of the New World to participate in online projects and take lessons from distant mentors; in coming months, musicians will receive coaching from IRCAM, the modernist bunker in Paris. The main concert hall, too, is decked out with gizmos. Ten robotic cameras transmit images to the exterior projector and to the world outside; there's even a camera fixed to the ceiling, which yields a wonderfully vertiginous overhead shot. Meanwhile, high-definition projectors inside the hall can show slides and films on five separate "sails," gently curved surfaces floating above the stage. The projection system imparts basic information—a brief note about each piece, translations for foreign-language texts—and encourages collaborations between composers and filmmakers.
The hall itself, a beachy room in shades of sandy white, driftwood brown, and oceanic blue, accommodates seven hundred and fifty-six people. It looks like a scaled-down version of Disney Hall, with the audience seated in galleries around the orchestra. As at Disney, Gehry worked with the acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, a wizard of this mysterious craft. My first impressions of the acoustics were a bit mixed. The sound was bright, alive, responsive to all registers and instruments. At climaxes, though, it seemed excessively vivid, even shrill, especially when I was close to the stage. (I tried out various seats around the hall.) Sometimes the sense of detail was so overwhelming that I had a hard time taking in the total sonic picture. I had a similar reaction to Disney when it opened, in 2003; within a year or two, the L.A. Philharmonic had adjusted to the space, and the New World players should have no trouble doing the same. The acoustics certainly passed the foot test, which so many modern halls fail: during a fortissimo passage with rolling timpani, you could feel the floorboards trembling in sympathy.

When it comes to social media for small business, the world is literally your oyster. What does that mean? It means that your customer base has the potential to be worldwide, depending on what you're selling. Because social networking is so pervasive and can literally reach to every corner of the globe, you have the opportunity to find and target your customers specifically, thus potentially increasing your sales exponentially.
There's something you have to do if you want that to happen, though. It's all well and good to get the word out about your product or service, and to let people know that it's available. If you don't establish yourself as an expert who truly wants to help people, though, it's not likely you're going to get much of a customer following. The key, then, with social networking is that you have to establish yourself as an expert in your field. Once you can do that, and once you have clearly aligned your online persona or your "brand" with that expertise, you'll have success.
How do you establish yourself as an expert through social media?
Although social media can make something happen instantly, in that you can literally get a particular message to thousands or even millions with the click of a mouse or the push of a button, establishing yourself as an expert is going to take some time and effort. Therefore, build slowly from the ground floor up and establish yourself as an expert before you try to push your product or service too much.
- Start slowly, offering advice on forums and other social media pages
Depending on what your particular business is, you can begin to frequent like-minded forums and other social media pages and venues. Post frequently and often, including your signature line or the website address for your business — but don't try to sell anything. Instead, honestly answer people's questions and offer advice for "free." Your ultimate goal, of course, is that you will attract customers, but your intent at this point should simply be to help people. In turn, that will raise your profile as someone who is an expert in your field.
- Write articles and blog posts, perhaps graduating to videos
As you are offering advice to others on other forms of social media networks, you can also be writing blog posts and articles on your area of expertise that you will then post to various article directories and blog sites.
Now, again, this has to be genuinely quality content that gives people something for "nothing." We see poorly written articles or badly produced videos all the time that don't really offer anything. They're clearly simply meant to entice people to buy something. That's misguided though, and doing that is not going to help you become an expert in other people's eyes. They'll simply see you as a shyster interested in their money, and nothing else. Then they'll go look for somebody who truly is an expert and is willing to help them. Your articles, blog posts and videos should be of the best quality you can produce, with the true intent of helping people with a problem they need to solve. At the bottom of these articles or blog posts, or at the end of these videos, you can certainly include your website or contact information so that people can find you, but selling something should not be the central focus. Post these videos, blog posts and articles to directories or your website, encouraging people to share them by putting easy to use links to Facebook and Twitter on the pages your posts or videos appear.
When you do this, you will slowly become well-known as a true expert in your field, which will encourage people to turn to you for advice and yes, buy your products or services. (Incidentally, you can do this even if your business is a local-only business. You'll still gain a lot more traffic to your website and therefore attract more customers by doing so.)

Tuchel eyes Stuttgart win
Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel has urged his side to head into the winter break in the best possible form.
Mainz host Stuttgart on Saturday knowing victory would send them into the mid-season break with 26 points, well on their way to their minimum target of 40 for the season.
"It is up to us whether we turn a good first half of the season into a very good one," said Tuchel, whose were beaten by Borussia Monchengladbach last time out.
"We don't want to end the year with two defeats.
"We are fully motivated, but we have got to show more desire than we did last weekend."
Stuttgart striker Vedad Ibisevic netted hat-trick against Schalke last weekend to take him to the top of the scoring charts with 10 goals.
He has now targeted his first goal in Mainz, where he has yet to find the back of the net in four previous visits.
"Well, I haven't played in their new stadium yet so that could be a good sign," he said on his club's website.
"Of course I always want to score, wherever I am, but it's all about the team and we want to play a good game there.
"The coach will set us up for the game well and then I am sure that we can get something."
Stuttgart coach Bruno Labbadia has named two youth team players in his party, with Soufian Benyamina and Benedikt Rocker making up a squad of just 15 players, which includes Daniel Didavi for the first time this season.
"He could make a short appearance," said Labbadia of the winger, who spent last season on loan at Nurnberg before a serious knee injury sidelined him in the summer.

"After days of narrowing my search, I'm so happy that I chose this card. They turned out wonderful and the opportunity to add additional pictures to the back allowed me to share more memories with my family and friends! I love them!"
"I have received the most compliments (almost from every person I sent it to) with this card. I used it in the black color and added the black fading around my photo in my photo software. It looked amazing. Print quality was great and loved the matte style."
"This card worked very well as our 2012 Christmas card. I was able to change all of the wording underneath the photo for our family's message, though you aren't able to edit the word "Blessed" at the top (which was fine since that's why I chose this card). I love that there are multiple color options; red, green and gray. I would like to see more, maybe a blue or gold, especially for the holidays. I opted for green with rounded corners, which I usually prefer on square cards. I also like that you can edit the back by choosing from several colors. I chose the snowflakes and added one more picture. The only thing I didn't like was that I wasn't able to add any text to the back of the card. Unless I somehow missed it, I don't think that was an option, which is unfortunate since I know it is on some of their other cards. Overall a wonderful card that I got many compliments on."
"I loooove the way our Christmas cards turned out! By far the best quality and picture compared to anything I received in the mail. I also LOVE the address database option. I won't use anyone else by tiny prints simply because I wouldn't want to store all those addresses. My only criticism is the cost. I purchased 75 prints and I wish they would have given my more of a break in price since I bought such a large amount. Overall, well worth the money spent. We received so many complements."
"Even when FedEx lost our cards the first time, TinyPrints pulled through with incredible customer service and reprinted our cards. An awesome company with exceptional products."

Our outdoor holiday lights are austerely modest compared to lots of other light displays. Not only that, but for several winters recently, we haven't managed to gather them up and put the whole bunch away until the next year. So, it was no big deal to plug in the strings of lights that still festooned the big, low-growing evergreen that pretends to grace our house, leading to our front door.
Hmmm. Once connected, we immediately observed that the strings of lights had rearranged themselves. All the twinkling little dots now shone in just the lower half of this big, thick evergreen. So big, in fact, that over the years it's totally obscured the narrow sidewalk that once led to the front door. So, to keep up, every few years we'd added more lights – still nothing showy. But sparkling through a glistening cover of new fallen snow, we liked to think of our holiday scene as, well, somewhat classy.
No big deal, we figured, to take down the four or five long strings of non-functioning lights entwined in the upper branches of the shrub – now about shoulder high – rearrange the lower strings of lights that were still functioning and – voila! – we'd have it.
Naturally, it was late on a cold winter afternoon with a chill wind when, a week or so ago, we tackled the repairs. Our small Wright's Mesa ranch house is surrounded by wide-open hay fields and pastures, giving winter winds free play. In fact, it's always seemed exciting to see the snow drifts piling up, wondering if we'd be truly snowbound even for a few hours.
But, never mind the cold wind and the gray skies, we'd take down the bad strings of lights, take them inside and check out the problems there – in the warmth. Steve, ever the old Navy man (WWII) and cowman, carefully looped the strings of lights around his hand – lariat style – while I more or less laid out my haul in a straight line. I'd just drag them in the front door, through our small greenhouse front porch, and into the house. Like I'd said, no big deal.
Well, it turned out that neither method outwitted those tangle-prone strings of lights. Every foot or two, my strings caught on a doorframe, requiring me to go back and disengage each little bulb from its snare. Meanwhile, cold air blasted in through the two open front doors. Once Steve put his coil of lights on the floor, they immediately turned into a tangled nest. In time, we sorted it all out. All the lights are up now, spreading their modest holiday cheer to any and all passers-by on this county road. But, when I drive by other country homes, with their magnificent displays – tall trees sparkling with those tiny little lights, fences and roofs outlined, lighted critters, and holy scenes – I salute these homeowners' ingenuity – and patience.
Still, I truly love holiday lights. As a child growing up in Chicago, the city's displays – the downtown stores (the elegant Marshall Field's and Carson Pirie Scott, now long gone) were absolute magic. And so I always felt our kids, growing up on a ranch outside of Norwood, were missing one of childhood's thrilling events – big city Christmas lights. But this little town and its three-block long main street, however, did its best. With the help of the local power company, holiday lights were draped around light poles and sometimes across Main Street. Stores, the one or two small restaurants and service stations added bright holiday touches.
For our three ranch kids, it was a joyful and exciting time, driving into town on a dark, wintry night, and for the first time that season, seeing Norwood's truly modest holiday lights. Our oldest son, Dave, perhaps 10 or 12, pressing his nose to the car window, said solemnly, "I wouldn't want to live in a town that didn't have Christmas lights." Moral to this story: viewpoint is everything. Happy holidays everyone!

Hi every one..
i had a client that came in today with an iPhone 3GS that he bought from the U.S, he had his SIM inside (that is not ATT of course) and its working fine, he said whenever he connect this 3GS to iTunes (8.2) it tells him (the SIM is not supported).. i tried that on my iMac, iTunes 8.2, and it gives the same msg, there was cydia on the iPhone, so i opened cydia, went to sources.. surprise.. there was so repo666.ultrasn0w there, and no ultrasn0w was installed!! damn!! how did this device work? its not unlocked with ultrasn0w, and its not officially unlocked too since iTunes refused to allow syncing complaining about the SIM!
I never seen anything like this, so i said lets do it how i usually do: ultrasn0w, added the source downloaded ultrasn0w, restarted, iPhone freeze on Apple logo with spinning circle and keeps restarting... put it in restore mode, went to iTunes 8.2, it gave me this new msg: "This Device isn't eligible for the requested build".. 3GS currently on 3.0, but i guess now iTunes will allow restoring to 3.1 only.
luckily i managed to get iPhone out of restore mode, but back to restarting problem.. the minute i toke the SIM out of it.. it worked normal... when it reached the home screen, i inserted the SIM back in, it got soo slow, lost the wifi, signal kept searching.. iphone became useless.. take the SIM, it works normal..
opened Cydia, removed ultrasn0w, restart, put the SIM, iphone works back fine with signal and able to make and receive calls without ultrasn0w, but iTunes refuse to sync back again!!
any one got into such thing? how come 3GS not officially unlocked, no ultrasn0w installed, can accept the SIM and show signal??

I install expansion tanks on almost every water heater I put in. Even if there is no PRV I still recommend installing the expansion tank.
Sometimes, I feel like the customer is not buying into the idea of the expansion tank and thinks I'm just trying to sell them on things they don't need.
"My last water heater lasted for 20+ years and did just fine without an expansion tank" is the most difficult type of statement to rebuttal.
I usually tell them that water heaters are not built like they were in the past and that also the city water supply can be tougher on water heaters than in the past. I also let them know that it's code for many applications.
Looking to get some feedback from other professional plumbing contractors and their thoughts on Thermal Expansion Tanks.

The bilingual Latinos For Obama website has launched and I have to say, it's pretty chévere.
From the slogan/logo:
To some of the merchandise:
To the way President Obama pronounces the word "Latino":
Es obvio que the Obama campaign knows what gente like.
Posted on April 18, 2012, in Latinidad, politics, style. Bookmark the permalink. 17 Comments.
Me gusta mucho! :)
Obama is such a race-baiting liar. Obama uses Latinos to race-bait and use them for their votes only. Democrat majorities and no dream act??!!! The dream act couldn't get passed with democrats controlling every branch of the government!!! Hispanics would be stupid, stupid, and stupid to support obama again.
The SB1070 passed by Arizona is just an enforcement of federal law but Obama has called it "racial profiling"… Then Obama, being the man who oversees the federal law, has not called for the repeal of federal immigration laws so Obama supports racial profiling among Hispanics by his own standards… am I wrong on this?
Also of note, Hispanics have 11% unemployment rate under Obama!!!!!
Fool me once, shame on you!!!… Obama!!! There is NO way you're going to fool me twice!!!… And I am not alone in this position!!!
Latinaish… Give me ONE single good credible reason to support this liar again… and don't tell me: "because he is black"…
Latinos would be the dumbest of the dumb to support obama again… I will go back to Mexico before I'll vote for obama again… Big mistake… HUGE!!!!…
[rest of comment deleted by Latinaish.com]
My only frustration with Obama has been the record-setting rate of deportations during each year of his term so far. As a Latina, and as someone with many 'deportable' family members and friends, I am alarmed by the nationwide raids a few weeks ago. After all the talk of focusing only on criminals, the raids also targeted 'people who have been deported". Here is a link to the story:
I don't want to be a single-issue voter. I certainly don't want to vote for Romney. You were lucky to meet and marry Carlos when things were simpler and he could change his status here. But for many of us, that is a dream almost impossible to achieve and we feel that Obama has let us down. The situation has gotten more precarious and we are looking at a life spent apart, or outside of the US to be together. Immigration has become the single most important issue to us, because it will determine much of our future.
I do think that we should vote for Obama. But I think that he needs to hear a clear message from our community that we are extremely dissatisfied with what has happened so far in regards to immigration.
Obama is lying, don't pay attention to what he says, pay attention to what he does, he says one thing and he turns around and do the total opposite, think about this, will you prize a lying and cheating husband that is being cheating and lying to you for 4 years? Will you really? I don't think so, I wouldn't; and then why would you prize with 4 more years a cheating and lying president? Why? It doesn't make sense. I will tell you my experience on this topic; I have been married twice in my life to two different cheating and lying wifes, when you go through situations like these, after the relationship is over, you discover that the cheating and lying person was doing it since day one, that person was always cheating and lying, that was his or her character, I tell you all one thing, It cost me almost my life to learn that a person that is not worthy the day one is not going to be worthy the last day (Si el o ella no vale la pena ahora, el o ella no valdrá la pena en un año o en 10 o en 25 años; déjalo ir… ), because he or she was never worthy, that's their character, they will be liars and cheaters till the day they die, that's the way they operate, that's the way they been doing it through out their entire life, if Obama gets elected again, he will not care for anybody, what for? He can not be punish in anyway possible, he got our vote already, just give me one reason why he will care for the Latinos or blacks or whomever, why he did not fix the immigration problem before the healthcare issue, because he does not want to do it, that's why, I know the immigration problem was a lot bigger, why he addressed the other one first? after fixing the immigration problem first, he would have all our unconditional support, he would been invincible after that, "bullet proof" if you will, but not, he did not do it, so he needs to be punished, he lie to us the Latino community and that have a cost, I do not prize liars and cheaters, I punish them, so, in the next elections I will vote for any other candidate, I don't care who he is, he can not be any worse than this liar and cheater, and I don't care who he is because I'm not voting for him because I like him, I'm voting for him because I'm voting against Obama, that's why. We as Latino community need to send a message to these corrupted politicians that they can not lie and cheat on us that easy, if you do it you pay big for it, that way the next one that comes along he or she knows that we do not play their game, they need to learn to play our game our way if they want our vote, we need to do this now while our vote has some value, ¿O que? ¿Nos la vamos a tragar siempre así como nos la den? A mi ya me cansaron que me estén dando atole con el dedo… and I don't think that the republicans are as bad as the democrats say they are, after all, back in 1986 it was a republican president (Reagan) who granted amnesty to millions and millions of Latinos, so why are we so scared of republicans? They need us too; they know they need to buy Latino hearts and minds somehow, they are going to need us again for the re-election and they will know that Obama lost because he lie to us, I don't think they will do the same mistake, they know better…
Saludos and think about it more than twice…
I likey! Me encanta como dice Latino. Smooth.. :-D

Storms cause more than 7,000 outages in W.Va.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A storm system that cut off dozens of secondary roads with high water has knocked out electricity to nearly 7,200 customers across West Virginia.
Appalachian Power reported Thursday afternoon that 6,756 customers were without power, nearly one-third of them in Raleigh County. More than 800 others were in Logan and Mercer counties.
FirstEnergy, meanwhile, said it had cut the number of outages down to about 430 by late afternoon.
Flood warnings were issued for the Cheat River in Preston County, the South Branch of the Potomac River in Hampshire County, and the Greenbrier River in Greenbrier, Monroe and Summers counties.
But only minor flooding has been reported.
