Hike the less-frequented Dinaric Alps with MTS, the first North American adventure travel company to open its doors to Bosnia
In 2007, MTS was proud to be the first American adventure travel company to open the door to active travel in Bosnia and Montenegro, and we have wowed our guests ever since. It is rare to find a destination that offers such diverse beauty and harmony and yet is so infrequently traveled as the Dinaric Alps. This range of stunning limestone peaks harbors lush, verdant valleys, primeval forests, clear rivers, and pristine lakes. You'll visit Sarajevo and hike in Bosnia and Herzegovina, following rugged trails through pristine conifer forests and emerald-green lakes into Sutjeska National Park. You'll experience Bosnia's highest peak, Maglic, (7,828') and then cross into Montenegro, home of the Durmitor National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you'll raft the sparkling Tara River! From the summit of Montenegro's highest peak, Bobotov Kuk (8,277') you'll get expansive views—all the way to the Adriatic, if the day is clear. You see, this is anything but your run-of-the-mill vacation destination—this is a voyage that creates explorers.
7 days moderate-strenuous hiking, 1 day easy whitewater rafting, 1 day cultural touring
- Join MTS, who the New York Times referred to as "the vanguard of American tour companies…" for this off-the-beaten-path destination
- Enjoy breathtaking views while hiking among the great limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps and rafting the crystal-clear Tara River
- Explore Bosnia's Sarajevo, the crossroads of ancient civilizations and the center of old Ottoman life
- Get a feel for the local culture in traditional villages in Montenegro and discover the natural beauty Durmitor National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Learn about the recent turbulent history of these lands—from WWI to the breakup of the former Yugoslavia

By Liliana Moyano for Shine LatinaFinished pulled pork sandwich in all its glory.
My brother-in-law, David, makes a few trays of roasted pork for every major party, which eventually turn into amazing, pulled pork sandwiches. His recipe is simple and can easily be made a day or two in advance. He cooks the pork for six hours and then shreds the meat in its own cooking juices.
I've taken David's famous pork and kicked it up by topping with fried pickles and braising in a Coca-Cola sauce. The vinegar of the pickle balances the sweetness of the pork and adds some crunch to the sandwich.Read More »from Coca-Cola Pork Sandwiches with Fried Pickles

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease that occurs when stomach acid or, occasionally, bile flows back (refluxes) into your food pipe (esophagus). The backwash of acid irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD signs and symptoms.
Signs and symptoms of GERD include acid reflux and heartburn. Both are common digestive conditions that many people experience from time to time. When these signs and symptoms occur at least twice each week or interfere with your daily life, doctors call this GERD.
Most people can manage the discomfort of heartburn with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications. But for people with GERD, these remedies may offer only temporary relief. People with GERD may need stronger medications, even surgery, to reduce symptoms
GERD signs and symptoms include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience severe or frequent GERD symptoms. If you take over-the-counter medications for heartburn more than twice per week, see your doctor
GERD is caused by frequent acid reflux — the backup of stomach acid or bile into the esophagus.
When you swallow, the lower esophageal sphincter — a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of your esophagus — relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into your stomach. Then it closes again.
However, if this valve relaxes abnormally or weakens, stomach acid can flow back up into your esophagus, causing frequent heartburn and disrupting your daily life. This constant backwash of acid can irritate the lining of your esophagus, causing it to become inflamed (esophagitis). Over time, the inflammation can erode the esophagus, causing complications such as bleeding or breathing problems.
Conditions that can increase your risk of GERD include:
Over time, chronic inflammation in your esophagus can lead to complications, including:
If you think you have GERD, you're likely to start by first seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. Your doctor may recommend you see a doctor who specializes in treating digestive diseases (gastroenterologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For gastroesophageal reflux disease, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment anytime you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Try lifestyle changes to control your symptoms until you see your doctor. For instance, avoid foods that trigger your heartburn and avoid eating at least two hours before bedtime. If you think you have GERD, you're likely to start by first seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. Your doctor may recommend you see a doctor who specializes in treating digestive diseases (gastroenterologist).
What you can do
Try lifestyle changes to control your symptoms until you see your doctor. For instance, avoid foods that trigger your heartburn and avoid eating at least two hours before bedtime.
If you're bothered by frequent heartburn or other signs and symptoms, your doctor may be able to diagnose GERD with that information alone. Your doctor may also suggest tests and procedures used to diagnose GERD, including:
Treatment for heartburn and other signs and symptoms of GERD usually begins with over-the-counter medications that control acid. If you don't experience relief within a few weeks, your doctor may recommend other treatments, including medications and surgery.
Over-the-counter treatments that may help control heartburn include:
Contact your doctor if you need to take these medications two or more times a week or your symptoms are not relieved.
If heartburn persists despite initial approaches, your doctor may recommend prescription-strength medications, such as:
Rarely, these medications may lead to bone loss and increase the risk of a bone fracture. Your doctor may suggest that you take a calcium supplement to reduce these risks.
These medications may decrease the effectiveness of the blood-thinning medication, clopidogrel (Plavix). If you are prescribed a proton pump inhibitor and are taking Plavix, tell your doctor.
GERD medications are sometimes combined to increase effectiveness.
Most GERD can be controlled through medications. In situations where medications aren't helpful or you wish to avoid long-term medication use, your doctor may recommend more invasive procedures, such as:
Lifestyle changes may help reduce the frequency of heartburn. Consider trying to:
No alternative medicine therapies are proven to treat GERD or to reverse damage to the esophagus. Still, some complementary and alternative therapies may provide some relief, when combined with your doctor's care.
Talk to your doctor about what alternative GERD treatments may be safe for you. Options may include:

Early 2009 24" iMac - weird behavior when loading World of Warcraft
Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster - yadda yadda.
I have an early 2009 24" iMac (2.93 GHz model, with a GeForce GT 120 graphics card) running Mountain Lion.
A couple months ago it started exhibiting some weird behavior when loading World of Warcraft. Namely, everytime the game's opening it will "flash" some random image (that I believe is still saved up on the GPU RAM) right before the login screen comes up.
So for example, if I were browsing on Mozzila and decide to play, it'll flash a website I visited like 10 minutes ago.
It's not affecting anything else (so far) and I have no weird lines on my screen or anything that would suggest a faulty GPU, but I'm worried this may be the early stage of something worse. I did have a feeling that it was performing a little worse in game after that started happening, but I that's hard to measure with the constant patches / expansions bringing graphical improvements.
For what is worth, I did some CUDA programming for my graduation thesis some time before that - could it be that some bad code didn't properly get released from the GPU RAM, or is this nothing to be worried about?
I also do not remember this ever happening in Snow Leopard (I skipped 10.7).

~~ Originally post ~~
Ok, I've been away from the forum a bit the past couple of years.... Mainly because I'm enjoying my little HT! Yeah, it's hard to believe it's been almost 3 1/2 years since my build! And needless to say, we've been enjoying it every single movie, and it even earn me a spot in the Electronic House's DIY showcase too.
Now, fast forward to present, my back then GF is now my official boss aka wife! And our family is growing too (expecting our first baby this Dec.)! So, we are buying a bigger house to accommodate our growing family. And that means, YES, I get to build a new HT soon!!
It's a new build, current projected finish date is in next Feb/Mar time frame (sooooo, this thread won't be update as often in the near future). The builder give me 8 weeks time to fully finalize everything/options. I still have about 5 weeks left to tell them what I want to do for my HT.
From what I've learn from my first HT, here's the improvement that I want:
- seat at least 8 people
- an equipment rack
- acoustic treatment (for both audio & noise)
Now, here's the floor plan of the basement:
and here's what I have come up with for my new HT:
What do you think?
The room size will be 20'x15'x9'. I'm think to have a 7-8' deep riser for the 2nd row, so the 1st row will sit about 12'-13' away. I want more space in between the screen & the 1st row so the family have more room when playing games for like Wii/Kinect/etc. And I'm thinking to have a 110-120" screen in the near future too. And probably a 3D projector IF/WHEN they make a good one and more good Avatar-like 3D movie instead of some "in-your-face" so called 3D movies! And with the 3D & lumen output in mind, I'm thinking to put the projector probably 12-14' from the screen to have as much lumen as possible from the projector and enough distance for a 120" projected image.
I'll be re-using the majority of my current equipments, at least that's what I told my wife. But will sure upgrading them down the road when money isn't as tight as buying a house & having a baby soon....
And I'm waiting for the quote from the builder about putting up double layer of drywall and if it's ok for me to supply them GG to apply in between the layers. I don't have a sensitive family, and almost 100% of the time when I'm watching a movie in the HT, my wife will be with me too. So, I don't need/care a 100% sound proofed HT. But do want an improvement especially since I'm giving the chances to do it on a new build.
I'll also meeting their wiring contractor to discuss about the speaker wires in the HT (7.1), living room(5.1), and probably in our bedroom. Cat6 to every single room/kitchen/garage for networking (mainly streaming movies/videos to HTPCs) & future home automation (still hoping a Harmony could do what I want to do, if not, then I probably will dip into Control4).
I've already told them to add a dedicated 20amp circuit to both the HT and the garage.
I think I'll only have 3' of depth in the equipment room. I think the MA Slim5 is about 20" depth right? So, do you think 36" depth will be ok?
Anything else that I should tell the builder, or I should look out? 'Cos this is our first new build house, I really have no idea what/where should we pay attention to. And the above plan is as future proof as I could think of.....

The hotel offers "Kids Eat Free" with a paying adult at their restaurant, so this can offer substantial savings since this is a resort area and the food tends to be high priced. The restaurant at the hotel offers a good amount of food at a fair price and is located on the top floor of the hotel and has an ocean view from every table. The waitstaff were attentive but not obtrusive. The hotel also has a snack bar right next to the pool/sundeck area so you don't have to leave the warm sun for lunch/snacks during the day. They offer cold sandwiches and even hot dogs and burgers cooked on the grill right there in front of you.
It is also just a short distance (about a half mile) from historic John's Pass where you can do an array of water activities and shopping.
The rooms are good size and have nice sized balconies, many with ocean views. This is an older property so the hot water runs out after a couple of showers and the walls could use a coat of paint, but it is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms have hairdryers and coffee makers and a nice size TV.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a nice beach vacation. And stop at a gas station while in the area as they offer discount coupons that the hotel will honor even if you have previously booked at a higher rate. They also offer free drink coupons to their Priority Club guests.

You may have heard that Justice Antonin Scalia referred to the majority opinion striking down the Defense of Marriage Act as "legalistic argle-bargle." Intemperate as the dissent was, derision for Justice Anthony Kennedy's jurisprudence of dignity and personhood was nothing new for Scalia, who has been castigating what he once called Kennedy's "sweet mystery of life" rhetoric for a decade.
What's new about Scalia's numerous dissents issued over the U.S. Supreme Court's remarkable June is how much he's been criticizing the younger conservatives who were supposed to be the heirs to his mantle: Chief Justice John Roberts, he of the Obamacare cave, and Justice Samuel Alito, once so close to Scalia that court-watching wags called him Scalito.
It started with Scalia's libertarian dissent in the DNA-collection case Maryland v. King. The majority upheld standard DNA collection on arrest, nominally for the purpose of keeping track of arrestees but actually (as Scalia convincingly argued) to help solve crimes. Scalia's central objection was that such collection was a search under the Fourth Amendment, and therefore required specific suspicion, probable cause and a warrant. Yet he undermined his own authority by writing a dissent dripping with contempt for the majority opinion, which was written by Roberts and joined by all the conservative justices and Stephen Breyer.
Strangely Silent
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
"The court's assertion" of DNA collection's purpose, Scalia wrote, "taxes the credulity of the credulous." The opinion was "strangely silent" on the workings of DNA searches. The court's claim that the state was collecting DNA for identification purposes was, he wrote, false and dangerous: "I hope that the Maryland officials who read the Court's opinion do not take it seriously. Acting on the Court's misperception of Maryland law could lead to jail time." All this in a dissent joined only by liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
Scalia went after another Roberts opinion, also joined by Alito, in Agency for International Development v. Alliance for Open Society International Inc., a case about what conditions the government can put on funding recipients. This time, Roberts got off easy: Scalia restricted himself to observing that he was "at a loss to explain what this central pillar of the Court's opinion … has to do with the First Amendment."
The former pupil, Alito, came in for a pounding in Scalia's dissent in U.S. v. Windsor, the Defense of Marriage Act case. Alito, like Scalia, thought the Obama administration was not a proper party to the case because it refused to defend the law. But Alito wrote a separate dissent arguing that members of Congress did have standing to argue for the law's constitutionality, as their body, of course, had passed it. Consistent with the relatively permissive theory of who may come before the court, Alito also joined Kennedy's dissent in Hollingsworth v. Perry, the Proposition 8 case, which argued that proponents of the California ballot initiative banning same-sex marriage should have had standing.
Scalia found this view an apostasy from the strict separation of powers that has long been a conservative shibboleth. Alito's approach, Scalia said (over three and a half pages), "elevates" the court to become the primary decider among the branches of government. "A principled and predictable system of jurisprudence," he added in a footnote, "cannot rest upon a shifting concept of injury, designed to support standing when we would like it."
Rejected Conservatism
And the elder conservative's distaste for Alito's rejection of traditional conservatism came out again in Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl, in which Alito wrote for the majority that denied the biological father's rights under the Indian Child Welfare Act. Once again, Scalia joined the liberal (and female) troika of Ginsburg, Kagan and Sotomayor. (Breyer's defection from the liberal cause in this decision and in the DNA case deserves a column of its own.)
Scalia embraced almost all of Sotomayor's statutory reasoning — itself significant for a justice to whom text is everything — then added: "While I am at it, I will add one thought." The thought was a doozy, accusing Alito of denying the common-law tradition of respect for biological parents. "This father wants to raise his daughter," Scalia said, "and the statute amply protects his right to do so. There is no reason in law or policy to dilute that protection."
For one conservative Catholic to charge another with diluting the protection of parenthood is no small affair — but Scalia meant it.
All these jibes at Roberts and Alito are something new for Scalia, the sitting justice who perhaps has the best chance to go down as truly great, if deeply flawed. Sideswipes at other justices have always been part of the Scalia repertoire; one criticism of a Sandra Day O'Connor opinion as "simply irrational" was reputed to have lost him her respect, and certainly her vote. But attacking O'Connor and Kennedy was attacking "wets" — fake conservatives who didn't keep the faith. (Scalia never subjected David Souter to that treatment. Perhaps he always knew that Souter's Burkeanism had nothing to do with his brand of conservatism at all.)
In contrast, Roberts and (especially) Alito were reared at the altar of Scalian values. Their failure to live up to his constitutional ideals must be especially galling. To wait for reinforcements, as Scalia did for so many years on the court, then find they are inadequate, is an insult of a special kind.
Scalia is a unique figure on the bench, saying things other justices don't even think. As a law professor, I couldn't do without him, and I love hearing him articulate the most extreme positions with implacable logic and a total lack of filter. When, in the recent gene-patent case Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics Inc., he insisted unashamedly that he had no idea whether the science was even true, I wanted to stand up and cheer.
Scalia's longtime antagonists say the past month proved he's over the hill and out of touch. They miss the point. This is the twilight of the gods for the 77-year-old red-wine-and pizza-loving legend. To see his judicial sons abandon him is painful. To see him throw it in their faces is a joy.

Martinique Restaurant Reviews
Martinique cuisine, a fusion of African and French, is certainly more international and sophisticated than that of its immediate island neighbors. The influx of young chefs, who favor a contemporary and lighter approach, has brought exciting innovations to the table. This haute-nouvelle creole cuisine emphasizes local products, predominantly starchy tubers such as plantains, white yams, yucca, and island sweet potatoes, as well as vegetables such as breadfruit, christophene (also known as chayote), and taro leaves. Many creole dishes have been frenchified, transformed into mousselines, terrines, and gratins topped with creamy sauces. And then there's the bountiful harvest of the sea—lambi (conch), langouste (clawless local lobsters), and dozens of species of fish predominate, but you can also find crevisses (freshwater crayfish, which are as luscious as jumbo prawns).
Some local creole specialties are accras (cod or vegetable fritters), which are the signature appetizer of Martinique, crabes farcis (stuffed land crab), and feroce (avocado stuffed with saltfish and farina). You can perk up fish and any other dish with a hit of hot chien (dog) sauce. Not to worry—it's made from onions, shallots, hot peppers, oil, and vinegar. To cool your jets, have a 'ti punch—four parts white rum and one part sugarcane syrup.
Supermarkets often have snack bars that serve sandwiches, as do the bakeries and larger gas stations such as Esso and Total. Supermarkets, such as Carrefour, have good deli sections and sell French wines for significantly less than at home. Another French chain, Le Baguet Shop, has locations in most tourist areas. Travelers on a budget will find creperies and pizzerias, even an African pizza place in Le François. And there may be times when you just want to drive in to Mickey D's—however, brace yourself for the price hike.
In Fort-de-France's city market, ladies serve up well-priced creole prix-fixe meals that can include accras, fricassee of octopus and conch, chicken in coconut milk, or grilled whole fish.
As for euro sticker shock, the consolation is that although menu prices may seem steep, they include tax and service. Prix-fixe menus, sometimes with wine, can help keep costs in line.
What to Wear. For dinner, casual resort wear is appropriate. Generally, men wear collared shirts. Women typically wear light cotton sundresses, short or long. At dinnertime, beach attire is too casual for most restaurants. Both the French ladies and the Martiniquais often "dress." They have an admirable French style, and almost always wear high heels.
Nice shorts are okay for lunch, depending on the venue, but jeans and shorts aren't acceptable at dinner. Keep in mind that in Martinique lunch is often a wonderful three-course, two-hour affair.

Anthony P. Shuber, Predictive Biosciences' chief technology officer and co‐founder, will present "Next‐gen deep sequencing improves FGFR3 mutation detection in the urine of bladder cancer patients" on Thursday, March 15 at 3:45 p.m. PST.
Mr. Shuber's presentation focuses on a new urine‐based assay developed by Predictive Biosciences that uses ultra‐deep sequencing technology to detect single molecules of DNA mutations. The assay detects fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) mutations, which studies have shown are present in 30 – 50% of bladder cancer patients.
Urine‐based biomarker assays for monitoring and diagnosing disease have shown to be clinically powerful.However, a major hurdle for developing these assays requires a test with high sensitivity so biomarkers in very low concentrations can be consistently detected.
"We are able to collect a small sample of urine from patients, sequence the sample and determine whether FGFR3 mutations are present in as low as 0.02% total urine DNA." said Anthony Shuber. "Next‐generation sequencing allows higher sensitivity than qPCR so it is a very promising platform for diagnostic testing."
Predictive Biosciences has commercialized the CertNDxTM Bladder Cancer Assay which is available in a urine test for hematuria and recurrence patients as well as a tissue‐based molecular grading test.

Wow... And I'm still beat from the San Diego comicon... And to think that it's almost time for Wizard World Chicago! ( FINE... Anything to get out of this Indiana heat!)
Below are two li'l pieces I knocked out during the San Diego show... A nice huntress with Veronica's face. (forgive me... It just happens sometimes!) and A quick Iron Man piece that I decided to spend about 2 minutes putting a splash of color on...( I would love to see someone try to put photoshop "lens flairs" all over this thing..)
Anyway... Enjoy!
I hope to see you at at the upcoming Wizard World Chicago show or the Baltimore comicon... Just because the San Diego show has passed doesn't mean that the convention circuit is over for the year!

Getting Better Sound from your iPod
It still amazes me how many people listen to music on their laptop speakers because they haven't connected their iPod or computer to their home stereo/theatre. Perhaps in the car they're using a set of headphones or simple minijack auxillary cable. Are you or a friend of yours' currently listening to your music this way? Often these people have the money to provide themselves with a better solution. Here are a few thoughts to help out the technologically impaired.
XW-NAS3 – Pioneer's iPod system delivers room filling sound with added bass from the integrated subwoofer – a rarity in this category. All this is housed within the sleek design. Component video output delivers a near DVD quality picture for movies on your iPod. Add the optional Bluetooth adapter (AS-BT100) to stream music from a laptop, Blackberry or other smartphone.
VSX-820-K – Features iPod Digital Direct by USB allowing you to simply plug your iPod into the front of the receiver by USB. Experience better sound through the full digital connection while Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever recreates the lost warmth and harmonics lost in the compression process. The VSX-820 also does double duty with the USB front input allowing playback of files from a USB key – make a copy of your digital library and play it back direct from the receiver. You can also use the Bluetooth adapter on this model to stream music directly from laptops or phones.
AVH-P3200BT – Did you know that Ontario's new handsfree phone law actually prohibits the use of portable electronics by the driver? Pioneer's AVH-P3200BT enables you to be fully compliant with the new handsfree laws by offering Bluetooth Hands Free and iPod Integration. There is no need to touch the portable devices themselves in the vehicle. Simply control your mobile phone or portable audio device (ie. iPod) through the large display of the AVH-P3200BT.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE -- Several employees of the Cumberland Trail Fire District #4 in St. Clairsville, OH recently volunteered their time on Aug. 17 and Aug. 24 participating in a boot drive to collect monetary donations that would be put towards the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Thanks to their efforts and to the citizens who made a donation a total of $5,859.00 was collected. A local woman who has a family member with Muscular Dystrophy recently contacted the fire department to personally thank them for their efforts. Pictured donating the check to MDA are a few of the Firefighter/Paramedics that participated in the boot drive.

NPPR Webinar - KPPC: An Award-Winning Energy Program
Broadcast Date: August 30, 2012
- Contents
Webinar Overview
For the past decade, rising energy costs have been putting a strain on energy-intensive Kentucky manufacturers, cutting profit margins, curtailing business growth and prosperity, and threatening the state's 240,000+ jobs in the manufacturing sector. This shift has created an economic incentive for energy efficiency (E2) in Kentucky where virtually none existed before with our historically low energy costs.
KPPC's industrial and commercial clients began asking the Center for help in understanding and addressing energy efficiency at their facilities. In response, and with state and federal support, KPPC developed a number of programs to identify E2 opportunities for energy-intensive facilities and to help them build self-sustaining energy management programs.
During this webinar, executive director Cam Metcalf discusses KPPC's nationally-recognized efforts that help Kentucky industries make significant, long-term reductions in their energy usage:
- Kentucky Save Energy Now (Nearly 30 industrial and commercial facilities have enrolled in this KPPC initiative, which is based upon the federal Save Energy Now program)
- Kentucky Energy Alliance (Networking and education peer group created by KPPC to bring together energy-intensive facilities to discuss best practices and lessons learned)
- Northeast Demonstration Project (U.S. Department of Energy, Superior Energy Performance and ISO 50001)
This webinar was hosted by the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable.

Watch his courses Udemy.com and Lynda.com, Find his video workbooks Bring Your Web Design to Life and Creating Interactive Documents on your favorite bookstore#039;s website, follow him on Twitter, and Facebook, or LinkedIn.
Running time: 92 minutes
Learn to create a web design that automatically conforms itself to multiple screen sizes. This course will show you a step-by-step process for creating a design that rearranges content, resizes elements, and adapts itself based on the size of your visitor's screen size.
Learn how to reposition the main navigation of the site based on the device browsing your website.
We'll create a web design that makes use of HTML5 and CSS3, while maintaining backwards compatibility with older browsers. The secret ingredient of CSS3 that makes this all possible is the media querying capability. CSS media queries allow us to define CSS rules based on screen size, and ultimately give us precise control over how our designs adapt to different screen sizes. In addition to adjusting layout, we'll explore using CSS to define all imagery in our design, allowing us to send optimized imagery along with our customized design experience.
Apply varied amounts of compression to images to optimize download speeds across devices.
Course includes HTML, CSS, and Photoshop templates for use in your own multiscreen web design projects.
This introducion shows this web design final project adapting to various browsers, platforms, and screen sizes.
Contains the final HTML and CSS project files, as well as the pre-slices native Adobe Photoshop templates.
Learn to save individual graphics from a larger canvas in Adobe Photoshop. In addition, learn how the graphics are prepared and optimized for multiple screens and bandwidth considerations.
After creating our HTML5 document, we'll add the necessary markup for the outter-most content containers of our web design.
We'll add sample content into or content containers, including headings, sidebar container, lists, and anchor links for the navigation.
Create two new CSS files and link them into the HTML file. Next, we'll link the CSS file, and then link in the Google HTML5 Shiv JavaScript using a conditional statement that is only targeted to IE 7 and 8.
We'll start by creating the CSS rules that willbe used for styling the text and design elements.
Create CSS Rules that manipulate the content containers to replicate the desired layout.
Use CSS3 Media Queries to alter the layout based on small-sized screens.
Course is good, but it would be much more helpful if changes to the page could be seen much more often. We are only looking at coding and see the effects on the end.
Very clear teacher
and appreciated step by step coding for clarity.
Very clear and well organized!
Even though the course is basic it gives you everything you need from design to framework to responsiveness with small and medium screens.
The course instructor moves pretty quickly but if you know HTML and CSS you'll be able to keep up.
A little too basic, but great course. Waiting to continue!

Cisco Unified Computing System Overview
Product Overview
Figure 1. Cisco UCS VIC 1280
Features and Benefits
Figure 2. Cisco UCS VIC 1280 Architecture
• Rack and blade servers
• Physical servers and virtual machines
• LAN, SAN, and management networks
• Easy: Cisco SingleConnect technology provides a "wire once and walk away" solution that eliminates traditional manual, time-consuming, error-prone processes and instead makes connecting servers to the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) fast and easy.
• Intelligent: the technology is intelligent because it uses a zero-touch model to allocate I/O connectivity (LAN, SAN, and management) across any type of server: physical rack and blade servers and virtual machines. The network intelligence helps Cisco UCS adapt to the needs of applications. Rather than limiting applications to specific servers, Cisco UCS makes it easy to run any workload on any server.
• Efficient: the technology is highly efficient because LAN, SAN, and management connections are shared over a single network, increasing utilization while reducing the number of moving parts compared to traditional approaches with multiple networks.
Cisco VM-FEX Technology
Figure 3. VM-FEX with Cisco UCS VIC 1280
Table 1. Features and Benefits
x16 PCIe Gen2 interfaces
Delivers greater throughput
8 x 10-Gbps unified I/O
Delivers 80 Gbps to the server
Helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because LAN and SAN traffic run over the same mezzanine card and fabric
Up to 256 dynamic virtual adapters and interfaces

• Allows these virtual interfaces and adapters to be configured and operated independently, just like physical interfaces and adapters
• Creates a highly flexible I/O environment needing only one card for all I/O configurations
Note: Cisco UCS VIC hardware is SR-IOV capable, and you can enable SR-IOV after SR-IOV is broadly supported by the popular operating systems. Please refer to UCS Manager configuration limits for your specific OS and environment in the configuration guide
Cisco SingleConnect technology
A single unified network - the same network brings LAN, SAN, and management connectivity to each server
Cisco VM-FEX technology
• Unifies virtual and physical networking into a single infrastructure
• Provides virtual machine visibility from the physical network and a consistent network operations model for physical and virtual servers
• Enables configurations and policies to follow the virtual machine during virtual machine migration
• Provides a prestandard implementation of the IEEE 802.1BR Port Extender standard
Centralized management
Enables the mezzanine card to be centrally managed and configured by Cisco UCS Manager
Network architecture
Provides a redundant path to the fabric interconnect using hardware-based fabric failover
More than 900,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS)
Provides high I/O performance for demanding applications
Support for lossless Ethernet
Uses Priority Flow Control (PFC) to enable FCoE as part of the Cisco unified fabric
Broad OS and hypervisor support

Updated information: Apparently, the 2013 farm bill is not quite dead. The paramedics have arrived and are using the defibrillator paddles in an attempt to, well, it's unclear what they are trying to save at this point.
Staff from the House Agriculture Committee stated that the House will debate HR 3695, the legislation to temporarily extend the 2008 farm bill. The House will debate the bill, with no amendments allowed, but is not scheduled to vote on it until Friday morning.
Jerry Hagstrom reported from D.C. late Wednesday that the principal negotiators from the House and Senate Agriculture Committees are going to meet again today in one last attempt to revive the patient.
The House Rules Committee voted 9-3 on Wednesday to advance a HR 3695. That bill would extend the farm bill until the end of January.
In theory, the top negotiators may not want an extension all the way until the end of January if they can come to terms and bring a bill up as soon as Congress returns the first week of January. In theory, the House could also opt to stay working next week and pass a farm bill.
In reality, the 2013 farm bill is going to flat-line and transplant into the 2014 bill.
Either everyone gets an extension or USDA spends January trying to draft rules for permanent law to go into effect.
When asked Wednesday about his thoughts on the farm bill, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack used the analogy of being a guy still waiting for his wedding to start.
"I feel like a groom at the altar waiting for the bride to come down the aisle. Always hopeful, but I have yet to see her come down the aisle," Vilsack said.
While Washington is fixated with debates about base acres versus planted acres, farmers at the DTN/The Progressive Farmer Ag Summit raised other questions with me:
One, do farmers move base acres for cotton to other crops once the farm bill is passed? After all, cotton won't have a commodity program.
Two, given that the farm bill will go into January -- and likely at least February before a bill gets to the president -- would USDA have time to get the rules out for the Supplemental Coverage Option before farmers have to make their decisions for buying crop insurance in March? Or would SCO start in 2015?
Farmers had other questions that unfortunately about commodity programs that cannot be answered until Congress finally gets down to one bill.

I know there are so many who have done things that they wished that they hadn't done. I am sorry that your grandpa enjoys the misery of others. I disagree with your grandma's view about this cruel world too. Yes, life can be hard and there are difficult people. I hope that you will find as you meet more people that there are so many good and kind people too.

New | Program Overview | Regulation | Forms | Contact
New! Brochure for Well Maintenance
Program Overview
State Regulation requires that the Department be notified of a private drinking water well or irrigation well before installation. Private drinking water wells are also called residential wells or domestic wells.
Step One:
- The well owner or well driller will complete the one-page Notice of Intent (NOI) form (Form 3647) and submit it to SCDHEC, Private Well Program, 2600 Bull Street, Columbia, S.C. 29201.
- There is a fee of $70.00 for a drinking water well or $50.00 for an irrigation well (The $20.00 difference is to provide water quality testing).
Step Two:
- The well driller contacts the local SCDHEC District EQC Office to provide the time and date of drilling 48 hours before drilling begins. This notice will provide the opportunity for a SCDHEC inspector to observe the well's installation.
- Construction standards still need to conform to the Well Standards, R.61-71.
- The 48-hour notice can be concurrent with Step One. That is, the 48 hours can begin when the NOI is received by SCDHEC.
This new regulation applies only to individual residential or irrigation wells. If a proposed well is to serve a small business, such as a service station, it is a Public Water Supply and needs to follow the Water Supply permitting procedures.
