If you enjoy the great outdoors, then camping may be high on your list of fun things to do. This is sure to get you out and about with family and friends. The key to making the most out of your camping trip is not only to have fun but to stay safe, as well. This can be more challenging than most novice campers even realize. Here are specific tips to help you avoid danger and increase the potential of a safe camping trip. Tip #1: Choose the right location It's important to be aware of any wildlife that could be in your campground. Take the time to do some research to ensure there aren't any dangerous animals that typically exist in this area. Additionally, be sure to set up camp during the daylight hours so you can have time to look at what is around you. This will help you find water spots, pathways and other things that can help you have a safer trip. Tip #2: Be safe with fire One of the things you may want to do when on your camping trip is to ensure you have a fire going during the nighttime hours. This can provide warmth, allow for cooking and provide the necessary amount of light for you. You will want to be sure you take the proper equipment to get a fire started and also to be aware of the direction in which the wind is blowing to keep it under control. The last thing you will want to do is to cause a wildfire while on your camping adventure. Tip #3: Pack the right gear Taking the time to get ready for your camping trip will allow you to have the safest one possible. Listed below are some items you should have to ensure safety and fun: 1. Proper clothing – It's ideal to wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt to avoid any scratches from limbs and branches while out in the woods. 2. Lanterns – Having an adequate amount of lighting is important. 3. Sleeping bags – It's important to get a good night's sleep and having comfortable bags to rest in will help ensure this. Going on a camping trip can be a lot of fun. However, you will need to take certain precautions and find the ideal campground such as Windemere Cove for the best time...read more
It's no secret that camping trailers aren't exactly loaded with extra space. However, you can get around this issue. If you know how to use the space in your camping trailer efficiently, it can actually seem much larger than it is. Here are a handful of tips to help you get the most out of the space in your camping trailer. Don't Overlook Door Storage The rear side of your doors are a great place to add extra storage space. For example, consider installing a shoe rack along the interior side of the trailer door to store all your shoes away neatly. In terms of your kitchen storage area, you could also install a flat storage system on the inside of the cabinet doors to tuck away any flat objects, such as an important papers. An over-the-door wastebasket is also a great way to use door space. Increase Shelf Storage Wire storage shelves are a great place to store clothing and other lightweight options. However, unless you are using all the space between each of the shelves, you're actually wasting space. Consider adding adhesive-backed hooks to the bottom or sides of the wire shelves. The hooks serve as a great place to hang towels, light jackets and jewelry. Use Ceiling Space Most trailers have small compartments at the top of the trailer or on the bottom for luggage storage. You can use the ceiling space in these areas to store away your long items like brooms, mops or umbrellas by simply installing brackets. Most hardware stores have brackets available in a number of different widths. Find a bracket suited to hold your items and simply slide the items between the bracket openings for secure storage. Look For Nesting Style Options Nesting style options can serve as a great space saver. In your kitchen area, instead of traditional bowls, consider purchasing a nesting bowl set. These unique bowls take up the same amount of space as a single bowl because each bowl is designed to fit perfectly inside the other. In addition to kitchenware you could also use nesting tables. These tables allow you the surface area of multiple tables but only take up the space of one. The more efficiently you use the space within your camping trailer, not only the more organized and neat your trailer will be, but also the more comfortable and enjoyable your experience. Make sure you're always looking for unique ways to save space. For information or assistance, visit websites like...read more

Little kittens are trapped in a well, and it's up to you to figure out how to get them out of trouble!
This adorable and relaxing puzzle introduces totally new twists to the popular slide and match-3 mechanics and, of course, lots of cats. Slide rows or columns of cute, cuddly cats until you create a chain of three or more cats of the same kind to pull them out of the well. The game features a Mission and Quick-play mode with a combined 140 levels and an explanation of all the rules in a quick tutorial. The Mission mode provides new challenging objectives in each level, such as: clear the board with only one slide, pull out all the shining cats, make a six-cat chain reaction. You need to accomplish the objective in order to advance to the next level. The Quick-play mode is all about beating your high score, and there are no restrictions on how to play. Just remember that longer chains can trigger funny bonuses and score you more points. The game will engage you in hours of blasting fun, even if you are not a cat person!

A Hastings man was in critical, but stable condition in
Christchurch Hospital last night after a "diving accident" at
Tangoio Falls, north of Napier.
The 22-year-old was rushed to Hawke's Bay Hospital by the
Lowe Rescue Helicopter with suspected head and neck injuries
about 3pm on Saturday, before being transferred to
Christchurch for specialist care yesterday.
He had been part of a group who walked for 30 minutes to
reach the waterfall, which is known as one of the region's
top tourist attractions.
Rescue Helicopter spokeswoman Louise Harvey said the
helicopter had to land on a nearby road, while paramedics
tramped in to lift the man out by foot.
St John Ambulance Service staff were first on the scene and
had the patient on a stretcher by the time paramedics
It is unclear exactly where the man had jumped from or how he
received the injuries.
"We don't know if he's actually tried to jump from the falls
- I'm not sure that's even possible," Ms Harvey said.
Department of Conservation's Dave Carlton had never heard of
any previous incidents at the falls.
An hour earlier the helicopter had responded to help two
males in Frasertown, Wairoa, who collided while riding dirt
bikes on a farm track about 2pm.
A 13-year-old received a serious foot injury, while a
20-year-old's lower leg was damaged.

Surgical tech schools are designed to provide career-oriented education for surgical technicians. A surgical tech school can be a junior college, career institute, university, or another type of school offering surgical technician training. There are a few types of credential offered by surgical technician schools, and the type of program somewhat determines a surgical tech's career options after graduation.
Surgical Technician School Options
The most common types of surgical tech training program are associate's degree programs, certificate programs and diploma programs. Some schools offer bachelor's degree programs, but they are less common. Most surgical tech schools offer either a two-year programs culminating in an associate's degree, or a one-year program ending in a certificate or diploma.
- Associate's degrees are the most popular type of credential offered by surgical technician schools. They are designed for students with a high-school education or a small amount of college education, so they dedicate some time to general education classes in science, math and other foundation subjects. Associate's degrees are more preferred by employers as well, for their well-rounded nature.
- Certificate programs are designed for students who already hold a degree or have already taken most of their general education courses. These programs provide mostly condensed, career-focused training in a shorter time period, and are good for healthcare professionals who are switching career paths.
- Diploma programs do not require any prior college education, and are intended to prepare high school graduates for entry-level employment as surgical technicians. They focus on core classes, but may include some foundation courses such as Biology or Communications.
School Enrollment Requirements
Most surgical tech schools require a high school diploma or GED for enrollment. Certificate programs may also require an undergraduate degree, or at least some earned college credit, as they are designed to supplement an existing degree.
There are no particular high school courses that are required for enrollment in surgical technologist schools, but some classes are helpful in preparing for surgical tech course material. These are:
- Math
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Health
During the enrollment process, surgical tech schools generally ask for high school transcripts, and may also ask for a few other documents such as a resume, letter of recommendation, and sometimes a personal essay assigned by the school.
Finding the Right School
Here are a few things to consider when choosing among schools in your area:
Accreditation – Good surgical tech schools are accredited by an organization whose goal is to ensure the education meets basic industry standards. The two most respected organizations that accredit surgical technician schools are the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Graduation from an accredited school is also required for surgical technicians who plan to pursue certification.
Tuition – Since many schools do not place their tuition information online, finding a school's tuition costs may require more research. However, school representatives may be able to answer questions about cost, and most surgical tech schools include tuition information in their information packets for potential students.
Career Options – Many surgical technician schools offer career services such as job placement assistance, resume reviewing, interview coaching or recruitment connections. This is not a deal breaker, but it is helpful to have.
Location – Some surgical technologist schools do not accept students who live outside of reasonable commuting range of a campus. However, students who are not located near a school's campus have the option of online surgical technician schools, which enroll new students regularly.

To the Editor: The Clinical Crossroads article1 describing care of a patient with recurrent sinusitis
presents a common clinical scenario. Unfortunately, this article also documents
a common historical course of these patients: repeated medical management,
followed by a surgical recommendation, all without a confirmed diagnosis.
Mr S reports 21 years of "recurrent sinusitis." The presentation describes
monthly autumn and winter episodes, which are treated with multiple medications
that do not work very quickly. However, we do not know the duration of these
episodes or how soon he received antibiotics. Unfortunately, patients often
receive antibiotics early in a viral illness and improve in 7 days, while
others acquire a diagnosis of "recurrent sinusitis" without radiographic confirmation.

Hi all,
I'm experiencing some difficulties with my WPAudioPlayer plugin, I can't figure out if the problems has something to do with my theme (Shaken Grid) which was updated 2 days ago, or the new wordpress version?
If you open my blog in safari or Firefox for mac: http://www.dewereldverzamelaar.net the audio player is not visible, it shows for a couple of seconds and disappears (here are all the audio blogs: http://www.dewereldverzamelaar.net/category/geluid/
When you visit a single blog page: http://www.dewereldverzamelaar.net/geluid/magic-system-cessa-kie-la-verite/ the player just shows fine.
I'm not the code junkie I would love to be so I don't know what is happening. Chrome does the job, it shows the player correctly. The other two browsers are failing.
Where do I have to start looking? I hope someone can help me out here.
I've just figured out that other flash related things like youtube movies or Vimeo movies aren't showing either.

lol. You still buy stamps? I would not waste my time at all.
I'm sure you'll meet Ronnie's little liberal boy, Ron jr at the post office with the same enthusiasm (sarc/)
That is so beautiful!
Dutch's face cut a fine figure because his spirit shone from within.
A man of character whose character defined him and his times.
We shan't see his type again for a long, long time.
Not a fan of Reagan?
Why is the 44 crossed out?
RR doesn't like BO?
It's a forever stamp so whatever the rates go to you'll be covered. I know some people collect like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Bob Hope, etc. I don't know how long they will be sold or if this is a 1 day deal, wouldn't think it's just for 1 day but wanted to let FREEPERS know.
In my opinion, his image should be carved on Mt. Rushmore- if that is possible.
If you don't like President Reagan name another President in the last Century you did like.
44 cents. Crossed out to prevent counterfeiting from the image, I presume.
Not a fan of stamps or government run businesses. Of course you have every right to support the big government. I don't expect you to be a conservative but on this site I want you to be.
Its a forever stamp so whatever the rates go to youll be covered. I know some people collect like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Bob Hope, etc. I dont know how long they will be sold or if this is a 1 day deal, wouldnt think its just for 1 day but wanted to let FREEPERS know.
Thank you for letting us know!
No, just not a fan of snail mail.
As for me, I can't remember the last time I used a stamp.
I am sure you meant to comment to the other dude?
If not click on my name..
lol. Come on seriously. Because he doesn't want to buy a stamp it is a slight on Reagan. Some of you are WORSE than liberals.
Yes, I will buy them and use them to send letters to my more Liberal family members.
Haaa haa ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
I agree, but I am not willing to give up recognizing the special events of family members and friends. No Hallmark fan, I make all my own greetings, often not traditional cards, but have to get them all over the country!
Not a fan of stamps or government run businesses. Of course you have every right to support the big government. I dont expect you to be a conservative but on this site I want you to be.
Do I have your permission to be a conservative? Please, please, allow mew to be a conservative.
So do you use public roads, or public utilities? The government is useful for somethings among them infrastructure.
Mt Rushmore should remain Mt Rushmore...
Just dont use the RR stamps to mail your taxes ... Youll be setting yourself up like a bowling pin for an audit!
Just today I was hearing public roads exist because the postal service which is authorized by the Constitution and created justification to make the roads. Ike apparently thought that too small a fig leaf or the highway system so it was created under the guise of "national security."
Looks ok although the hand on chin is an odd pose. The background could pass for CA. While I send very few pieces of mail, I'm nearly out of stamps. Still in all, I'm not a fan of "commemorative" stamps and will probably pass on these.
He said in his post he was not a fan of Reagan, that's what my question was about. I didn't say anything about FREEPERS had to buy stamps.
I think that you are probably correct about that. And I really doubt that it's possible anyway.
So the problem is that the stamp is put out by the government? Consider thhat the government of our country, in today's world, is honoring Ronald Reagan. That seems remarkable to me. I'm pleased.
But I don't use the post office. Not because I object to it, but because I am an email fiend. I do all my communication via electronic means. When I MUST send something, I tend to use DHL.
But I like the stamp.
I can just see some Far Left wacko licking his lips as he licks the stamp knowing conservatives will get the blame.
...causing pain / suffering injury to IRS Workers?
I will buy these - and USE them!
Some people still send letters and what an excellent way to remind people of contrast.
Like someone said earlier, it's a simplistic anti-counterfeiting measure.
The image I just saw has a 44 on it, so that's not a forever stamp. Too bad. If it's a 44 it will be outmoded the next time they raise the first class postage rates.
They said previously it will be forever. "Reagan forever"
That's why the 44 is crossed out
I saved a couple of the ones from a few years ago. I'll do the same this time.
I wish they would make them universal stamps: I'd buy a brick.
Others have commented: The USPS routinely crosses out the 44 or whatever the number is, when depicting stamp designs in the media. It looks like this is a 44 cent stamp. (No matter; I would keep using it in case of an increase, with makeup stamps added.)
There was a story about this a few weeks ago & the postal service said it would be forever
I have some Richard Nixons. :)

Southern Utah kept up the pressure into the second half until Cook broke through the UND defense to score her second goal of the season. The freshman forward used a charging header to redirect a cross from Kristy Hendrickson into the back of the net to put the T-Birds out in front 1-0 in the seventieth minute.
The Thunderbirds continued to press the attack and seven minutes later Moreno was able to find the back of the net for her first career goal. The freshman defender collected a loose ball in the top right corner of the box and beat the goalkeeper with a shot to put her team up by a count of 2-0.
SUU wasn't done yet as Brinkman and Cook connected for a third Thunderbird goal in the match's final minute. The score moved Brinkman into a tie with Shaley Ipson Allen for first place in program history with 18 career goals and was her team-leading fourth of the season.
Charly Booth made six saves in the game to post her first shutout of the season and freshman Madison Wood led SUU with four shots. As a team the Thunderbirds held a 17-10 advantage in the shot column and took 12 corner kicks, the second-highest total in program history.
WEBER STATE SOCCER: HILLSBORO, Ore. — The Weber State University women's soccer team saw its three-match winning streak and 403-minute shutout streak both come bto an end on Sunday afternoon.
Portland State's Amanda Howie scored from 35 yards out into the upper right corner in the 83rd minute, taking advantage of the short-sided
Wildcats in a 1-0 victory at Hillsboro Stadium.
Weber State played the final 32:30 of the match with a man-disadvantage after freshman forward Mackenzie Harrison was sent off.
The loss dropped the Wildcats to 4-3-0 (12 points) and into fifth place in the Big Sky Conference standings with just two matches remaining.
Weber State hosts North Dakota and Northern Colorado this week, likely needing to win both matches to earn one of the four spots in next month's conference tournament.
The match between the two league heavyweights was razor thin until the ejection, with each side recording three shots on goal and the Vikings holding a slim 10-7 advantage in total shots.
After gaining the advantage, Portland State (5-2-1 BSC, 16 points) outshot Weber State 10-2. Howie's goal was the first allowed by Weber State in 403 minutes, dating back to Northern Arizona's 39th minute goal on Sept. 28.
Kickoff between Weber State and North Dakota (0-7-0 BSC) is set for 3 p.m. at Wildcat Soccer Field on Thursday afternoon, with the Wildcats' regular-season finale set for Saturday at noon against Northern Colorado.

Soarin, wut r u doin. u r not mane six.
get outta there, u.
get outta there, u.
COOL and nice wolf!!!!
7 letters :l ..... A-W-S-O-M-E
i wish the show was more like this i do like the show but ive always been more of a wolf person either way nice job
My little Wolfie: Friendship is Magic
i like apple jacks brother
Awwwwww! Cute
what a cute idea! great job!
Hey maix i wanted to ask you how to make a link to your page from my pictures description that way i might be able to boost both our views a bit
Wether you allow me to use this design i think you deserve a fav
Hey man do you mind if i use this design for two mlp OC's? I'm asking you since i've been looking and looking and LOOKING for something to work of and this is fabulous!
Sorry I took so long to reply. You want to use my pic and add your OCs as wolves to it?
No not add to it i wnated to ask if you'd be offended if i used your wolf design without asking! I've only been a member of deviantart for a week you see and i wanted to start with making my own characters (that is what oc stands for right?)
Oc stands for original character. And I'm glad you asked, thats how trouble can start.
And about using the design, you can't use my work itself but you can definitely make your own wolf my little pony character based on my style. I'd also like to see what you make when you're done too.

Thanks man i'm not here to butcher you art i just wanted to make sure thatit would be ok for me to use this style since your pic is probably the closest to what they would look like if the series was wolf based i could find. Might take some time to get done with it since i'm about aversge at drawing via computer and awful by hand plus i have to get photoshop since the drawing tool that comes with deviantart is really not my style and i will of course say that all credit goes to you since you created the design
cute i added it to my group!!!
How cute! That must have taken awhile to complete!

My Top Ten
This list isn't in any particular order. I tried to make it so, but it appears to have sorted itself all on it's own. Either way, here is my Top Ten... as of now, anyway.
This list isn't in any particular order. I tried to make it so, but it appears to have sorted itself all on it's own. Either way, here is my Top Ten... as of now, anyway.
This game blew my effin' mind when I was a kid. Easily my favourite in this series, both due to it's fantastic coloured lighting and graphics at the time, as well as the incredibly immersive storyline, this game was revolutionary . I enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and I'm currently holding my judgements on FFTA2: Grimoire of the Rift.
After this game the creators took a route with stories aimed at a younger audience. Although the same great gameplay is there, I just wish they'd make another with a more adult theme, but who knows?
The newest version for the PSP has some nice additions, but in the end is the same, beautiful game, made all those years ago. Get your hands on it!
Sure, it totally ripped off the Metroid game-style, but the amalgamation of a huge, fully explorable castle (It is called Castlevania, after all) and bitching RPG elements, they took this series to all new heights.
Some could argue that it's a bit easy, but that's probably because you've played it so many times you can do it blind-folded. It has some tricky moments, lots of cool unlockables, rare items/armor and, of course, the Joseph Cloak, so you can be uber-styling while you battle the hordes of Dracula's undead minions!
Just in case Mega Man wasn't already bad ass enough, Capcom had to go ahead and give him a bitchin' new armour set, the ability to dash and also hang on to walls. I mean, seriously!
This game ushered in a whole new franchise of Mega Man games, and although I love that classic little blue sprite, I have to say that I enjoy this game more than any of the original NES titles. I can't say that about the rest of the series, however, but still it has spawned it's own spin-offs (Mega Man Zero series) and doesn't appear to be dying off any time soon.
Now, If we could just figure out how Dr. Light knew to leave all those pods?
Beyond the fact that his game single-handedly makes The Wizard watchable, it's also a dynamite sequel in this series, and my favourite by far. It took us back to the original storyline (No more Doki Doki Panic for these kids!) and gave us a massive world and a ton of new power-ups to play with. I mean, come on people, Tanooki Mario? That shit was tight!
In easily one of the greatest franchises ever, Mega Man 3 was always my favourite. Most people cite Mega Man 2, but I just can't help myself. This was the first I owned, and I played it to death. I know that Mega Man 2 brought us a killer group of Robot Masters, but I think the bosses in 3 were just as good if not better, not to mention the addition of a bitchin' Robo-Dog and can you really enjoy Mega Man as much without the slide? No, I don't think so!
The Mega-buster didn't make it's appearance until Mega Man 4, but with Mega Man 3's moderately difficult game-play, great character designs, and, as always, kick ass music, it gets my vote for the best of the series.
Two words: Death Match.
Not only was the story mode great (Okay, Natalia was a pain in the ass), but it had all kinds of difficulty modes, unlockable cheats (Which added MANY hours of gameplay) and most importantly, it gave us the chance to shoot, blow up, stab and ultimately destroy our friends for so many hours that you often realized that the horrible smell you were only slightly conscious of was, in fact, you.
This game made the tactical espionage genre what it is today.
Umm, are there any other tactical espionage games? Splinter Cell, maybe? Oh wait, Syphon Filter! That counts right?
They don't even touch this puppy. Insanely immersive story, awesome weapons, incredibly inventive boss battles ("You are wreckless... you have not saved often."); you name it, this game has it. Often shunned for it's long cut scenes and dialogue sequences, if you are a fan of crazy, movie-like, story telling then these games are for you.
As much as I loved the Nintendo 64 entry into the Super Mario series, this game takes a top ten spot due to it's amazing multi-player aspects. Not only could you race your friends in a little friendly Flower Cup, but you could destroy them in the battle stages.
If I could count how many hours I've spent in the Block Fort... no scratch that. There are some things I just don't want to know.
Reviving this series of games in a big way, DKC ushered in amazing side-scrolling gameplay with, at the time, excellent graphics. This was a game I could actually sit down and play with my sister. It was bananas.
Sorry. I... I apologize fully.
It had great music, bosses, stages, as well as a cool two-player co-op, mini-games... anything you could ask for was in these stages.
Hell, sometimes I'd get so into it, the water stages would make me a little sad. You know what I'm talking about! Don't deny it!
The best game of this classic series. I don't care what you say about FF 7 with it's insane style, and summons and all that, this game had one of the most in-depth stories. Hell, the ending showed you what happened to EVERY CHARACTER. If you played your cards right, you had so many that you practically don't know what to do with them all.
With all the side-quests, two world maps, hidden items/secrets/characters, this is the penultimate Final Fantasy game, by far.
Sabin for life!

if choosing Block Position top might somehow detect top of page as at the moment it appears that if, say, your trigger is near the top of page then some of the content does not show.
similarly if one chooses to-left some of the content is too far left
Nonetheless this is a pretty awesome plugin and in any event one can choose "right"

Florida Highway Patrol says Cindy Economou was arrested on Monday. She told authorities shortly after the Sept. 19 crash that she took the remains to help train her cadaver dog. She eventually resigned from the St. Lucie County Fire District.
FHP Lt. Tim Frith says the severity of a theft charge is usually determined by the value of what is stolen. Since there's no law specifically dealing with the theft of a body part, he says it was difficult to determine the monetary value of the foot.
Economou was released from jail on her own recognizance Monday afternoon.

The Kendama from Sweets Kendamas is a traditional Japanese wooden skill toy. The toy is made up of three pieces: the Ken, which is the middle piece with the tapered spike; the Sarado, which is the double-sided cup piece, and the Tama, which is the ball.
Before you use the toy, follow the guide to assemble the pieces and tether the ball. The directions also include basic visual guides to perform different types of tricks, but we suggest visiting Sweets Kendamas' website for video tutorials for a better understanding. To perform the basic Big Cup trick, for example, you'll start with the ball hanging on the string, toss it up, and just before it goes back down catch it in the larger cup on the Sarado.
While this might look like a pretty simple toy at first glance, it's not. The toy was founded on the principles of improving one's focus, determination, and hand-eye coordination so to perform even the most basic tricks requires focus, a steady hand, as well as patience-lots and lots of patience.
Each trick takes time to learn so this skill toy is best suited for those willing to put the time and effort into learning the tricks. Those who enjoy yo-yoing, and similar skill toys, will probably find the most appeal with these toys as well as get a new level of satisfaction in using this toy and constantly learning new ways to play.
The Kendama is for ages 7 and up.
Also included are stickers and extra string. Additional Kendamas are sold separately.

THE MOther OF HEROES For a man whose thirtieth year was still not far behind him, the man's face was over careworn. It suggested that he felt life's difficulties more keenly than a man should at that age. But it may have been that this was a necessary part of the keenness with which the whole of life appealed to him; its good things, as well as its worries. He rose from his writing-table and straightened his back with a long sigh, clenching both hands tightly, and stretching both arms over his shoulders, as he moved across the little room to its window. The window gave him an extensive view of dully gleaming roofs and chimney-pots, seen through driving sleet, towards the end of a raw forenoon in February. The roofs he saw were those of one of London's cheap suburbs; first, a block of "mansions" similar to those in which his own flat was situated; then a rather superior block, where the rents were much cheaper because they were called "dwellings"; and beyond that, the huddled small houses of a quarter with which no builder had interfered since early Victorian days. wolfhound head The man turned away from the dripping window, and looked round this den in which he worked. Its walls were mostly covered by book-shelves, but in the gaps between the shelves there were pictures; a rather odd mixture of pictures, of men and women and dogs. The men and women were mostly people who had written books, and the dogs were without exception Irish Wolfhounds; those fine animals which combine in themselves the fleetness of the greyhound, the strength of the boarhound, and the picturesque, wiry shaggyness of the deerhound; those animals whose history goes back to the beginning of the Christian era; through all the storied ages in which they were the friends and companions of kings and princes, great chieftains and mighty hunters. For several minutes the man paused before a picture, underneath which was written: "The Mistress of the Kennels." This picture showed a girl with wind-blown hair, happy face, and laughing eyes, standing, with a small puppy in her arms, in the midst of a wide kennel enclosure on the sloping rise of an upland meadow. In the background one saw a comfortable-looking house, half hidden by two huge walnut trees, and flanked by a row of aged elms. When the man had looked his fill at this picture, and at Other pictures of various Irish Wolfhounds, each marked with the name and age of the hound depicted, he sighed, and went to the window again. While he stood there, looking out through the February sleet, the door of the den opened, and the Mistress of the Kennels came in, wearing a big, loose overall, or pinafore, which covered her dress completely. Her face had not quite the colour which the picture made one feel it must have had when she stood in that wide, windy, kennel enclosure; but it was still a sunny face; the eyes were still laughing eyes; a loving, lovable face, one felt, even though London had robbed it of some of its open-air freshness. She walked up to the man's side, and, seeing the expression on his face as he gazed out over the wet roofs, she said-"Yes, it is, rather--isn't it?--after Croft

WASHINGTON -- President Bush's $2.9 trillion budget for fiscal 2008 got no respect from Democrats Monday. It was full of proposals they oppose. It was also full of political challenges for Democrats.
As they criticized Bush's proposed $145 billion to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, reductions in Medicare and Medicaid, and spending restraint in social programs like education and the environment, Democrats confronted a harsh reality: Now they must write a budget of their own.
Bush presented a budget that they said was based on bloated revenue projections, misplaced social priorities and extension of tax cuts for the wealthy. Though the president projected a balanced budget in five years and promised to restrain spending on many domestic programs, Democrats raised doubts whether the White House spending blueprint was realistic.
During Bush's first six years in office, Democrats treated the president's budgets with disdain. Now they have difficult choices to make.
Take the major increase in funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even if they oppose the war in Iraq, Democrats have pledged to support the troops on the ground, and that means it will be hard to trim the president's request, though they might try.
Or take the president's request to call for a permanent extension of his tax cuts, most of which expire in 2010.
Rep. John Spratt, D-S.C., chairman of the House Budget Committee, said, "The president calls for nearly $2 trillion in tax cuts (that would otherwise expire), so in the name of balancing the budget in 2012, he hits domestic priorities such as health care, education and the environment."
Just how Spratt and his committee would change this is unclear, but one possible approach is that Democrats will seek to restructure Bush's tax cuts to ensure that they apply only to middle- and lower-income Americans.
Democrats have also pledged to scale back the growth in health care costs at the same time that health care coverage would be expanded. This, obviously, is not an easy task.
In short, Democrats are in a position where they must produce a budget that they think appeals to voters while controlling the deficit. Because they are in charge of passing the appropriations bills, they now must turn around and develop a large bundle of priorities in program after program.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Alabama wants more people to receive food stamp benefits. Alabama Department of Human Resources Commissioner Page Walley says the move would help the hungry and boost the economy.
Walley said trying to increase a publicly funded program during a tough budget year may seem impractical, but he says it isn't really.
He told The Birmingham News that every $5 in federal food stamps issued generates $9.20 in local and state economic activity.
The newspaper reported that about 546,000 Alabamians receive food stamps each month. The stamps provided more than 600 million dollars in federal benefits for state residents this year. Walley said the total economic impact was estimated at 1.1 billion dollars.
Walley recently brainstormed with local, state and federal officials and plans to launch programs this year to encourage more people to apply for the benefits.
Plans include making it easier for the elderly and diabled to apply and outreach to employers of low-income employees.

Hybrid View
17 May 2012 1:06 PM #1
Documentation is awful and vague - how to find stuff and name things?
Somebody needs to sit down and write a "theory of operation" for this framework because there seems to be an awful lot of magic running around and I'm struggling over and over with some very basic concepts.
1) Normal MVC typically has a Controller manage one or more Views. How one is supposed to associate a controller to a view remains a total mystery to me. I'm used to iPhone development, have done Smalltalk, Cocoa, Motif, lots of other MVC frameworks. This one acts like none of those. So while I can add an event handler to a button, how do I actually get that to call the appropriate method in my controller?
2) As many designers I created a bunch of standalone views for the various screens first. Now I want to create a matching controller for each. Controllers have a 'views' attribute. Dragging a view into that or naming it results in a dialog that asks if I'd now like to delete the "copy" of the view? WTF? Seriously I need somebody to draw me a flamin' picture of how all this stuff fits together.
3) There are way too many ways to "identify" things. We have userAlias, id, itemID, userClassName and who knows what else. Stores seem to have even more handles or names.
4) Screen navigation - the iOS way this is handled makes sense - a controller manages one or more views. Pushing a controller onto a navigation controller displays its view. How this is supposed to work with Architect I have no idea but I ended up creating a top level card view and calling "setActiveItem" to swap views. Probably there is a better way to do this but I can't find it.
5) Stores have models if I create the store itself. But why does the Model have a store attribute? Is this supposed to be a bidirectional link?
Really frustrated and I'm pretty close to abandoning this tool as being way too complex but I like your widget set. I don't give a fig about the models or the stores, I use web local SQL (sqlite) and JQuery ajax and I prefer that but I like the controllers for partitioning logic so - how can I actually use them if I can't reference the controller from the view?

The documentation just got a big refresh and more will come in matter of days, and we'll keep working on it until we stop getting messages like yours. We understand the current state of the docs is frustrating and we're working on improving things.
We really appreciate your patience, and we'll make it worth the wait.--

I appreciate the sympathy but I was hoping to get some answers as well. I'm happy to beta read and proof half baked docs.
I had some success with the SqlliteProxy today - this needs to be built into the framework BTW. Web sql is a fact of life on mobile browsers and I already have code to clone chunks of a db to the local sql db.
More questions - does a store install itself as a listener on every model object it vends? I can't see how I'm supposed to update an object and save its changes vs adding or deleting one. This could be more explicit as well.-->

For real answers, I'll leave that to more competent people. One thing I can do is make sure your questions are addressed in the docs so nobody else stumbles on the same rock.--

I'll chime in on this one.
The lack of current working examples in Sencha 2 MVC style that are non-trivial - and the extensive (but cryptic) documentation without syntax examples or Architect screenshots really make coming up to speed really frustrating. Also - all the prior 1.1 and non-MVC examples confuse the issue and a lot of them are just plain the 'Wrong Way' to really do things in the real world - IMHO.
Especially for experienced devs who have built complex Jquery and javascript enterprise apps - we're looking for the 'How do I do it the CURRENT Sencha 2 way?'
Check out my recent Setting up Sass/Compass/Pictos Forum Post - as it turns out, a 'Complete Working Example' makes this a snap to really 'Get It' - and get down to the biz of building a real-world app.
We don't want to become experts at one-time setup & plumbing issues. I spent three days foraging around, and then got one good example and was up and running with the whole theming & pictos icons in 10 minutes - and I know I'm not alone here. The screencasts are great, but a working example that doesn't require chasing down all the slightly different and obtuse config details would totally make the difference in 'Dev Satisfaction'.
Savvy devs know what we're looking to do - and how to do it in native js or Jquery, Backbone, Knockout, Zeptos, Dojo, etc... but the lack of overview and foundational documentation for Sencha has us being dragged through a bed of nails. And out-dated techniques that are pretty much throw-away just make it even more aggravating - when you want to build an industrial-grade mobile enterprise app.
That said - this framework totally rocks and you guys are doing a great job of charging after the prize - I know this is a tough thing to get right.
You just really need to tie up some of these bleeding edge setup & example issues to make it simple to get up and running with a 'Professional Dev Environment' without all the negatronics.
Maybe a comprehensive 'dev environment setup' repo on GitHub would make this simpler?

Inside of Architect, you can add a view to a controller by selecting the controller, going to the views configurations in the property grid and typing the name of the view (or selecting the dropdown and choosing a view).
Within a controller, you can respond to an event via a "Controller Action". Select the controller, double click on controller action from the toolbox. First you will want to choose what type of view you want to subscribe to by choosing the "targetType" configuration of the controller action. Now that Architect knows what type of view you are subscribing to, it can provide you the "name" of the events available, select one via the dropdown in "name". Once you've chosen the event name architect has everything it needs to subscribe to all ui controls of that type.
For example in a Touch project, if we chose Ext.Button and then the tap event. Architect will automatically generate a onButtonTap method (which you can rename). It will also generate a controlQuery of "button". controlQueries specify which ui controls to pay attention to. It's akin to a css selector but for components instantiated on the page. Double clicking on the controller action will allow you to swap to code view and begin editing what behavior is triggered when a user taps on the button.
In the future, please post questions separately unless they are directly linked/related. You are much more likely to get an answer.Aaron Conran

Double clicking on the controller action will allow you to swap to code view and begin editing what behavior is triggered when a user taps on the button.
So I tried this. I associated my view with my controller. I added an action in the controller with target Ext.button and event touch. Great. However this gets every single button touch in the application. Not really useful. How do I make it more specific? And what is a control query?
I've also uncovered what I think is a bug. I have two views - a login view and a main view (it is basically a form).
Each view has a submit button in it.
I created the action with target Ext.button in the login controller for touch and it created a function onLogin_touch or something.
I tried to do the same with the submit button in main and it insisted on creating a function called onLogin_touch and then complains that the function isn't configured correctly.-->
18 May 2012 1:06 PM #8
You should spend some time perusing this: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/
Architect makes things easier for you, but you still need to know how Touch 2 works. The Touch docs will help a lot, read some of the foundational material and you'll be golden.--

I've read it. I'm still reading it. I have half a dozen windows open on it. Hence this post. The foundation material is tremendously vague. The reference material is even worse, and the examples all show the wrong way to do things basically ignoring controllers entirely.
Here's an example.
Read the "Refs" section in Controllers.
config:{ refs:{ nav:'#mainNav'}}what is with the # in front of mainNav? Why is it there? Somewhere there is a button called mainNav I guess, how do I give that button the identifier mainNav? Do I need to specify the hash character on the button or is that implied? Which of button's many fields would I set? cls, id, itemId (I have no idea the difference between id and itemId nor can I find an explanation).
So then I gather an accessor called getNav() will be implied by creation of this ref. Nifty.
I encounter several other foreign concepts here. I am introduced to ComponentQuery - great.
This is a little bit better in that it looks like you've nicked the css selector syntax which is cool. id and itemId are apparently equivalent and use the #, this is kind of better but I still don't understand the difference between them.
Then we have xtype. There is an explanation of the common ones, but I have no idea how to assign one to something I create.
I appreciate the help, but I'm still really struggling after a week to put all this stuff together and I have to ship a beta today. Most likely it is gonna have all the logic in the views for now.-->

Delaying families impacts economic recovery
Our take: A recent article on The Atlantic by Derek Thompson points out that by pushing the pause button on major milestones — in particular, having childrenĀ— today's young adults could have a negative impact on the economy. At the Deseret News, we've reported in depth on this trend of young adults delaying the move to self-sufficiency and the declining birth rate in the United States. We've also found that children can influence society in many important ways. In addition to having a positive economic impact, children can aid stress management and influence overall happiness.
One way to think about the Great Recession is like a great pause button.
In normal times, millions of people get married in their mid-to-late 20s. They spend lots of money on a wedding. They buy a car, often with a loan. They buy a house, always with a loan. They buy new furniture and appliances. With their time and money coupled, expenses that were once extraneous now feel reasonable. Maybe he was individually satisfied with sports bars and she with Netflix, but as a couple, it makes more sense to watch live sports and TV shows on their new couch, and so they buy cable. They have a kid, or more than a few. You know how the story goes.
Before the Great Recession, young people were already saving many of these activities for later in their lives. The share of young adults (18-29) who were married fell from 59% to 20% between 1960 and 2010. These couples bought houses later, too. "A decline in the incidence of marriage mechanically lowers home ownership," Martin Gervais and Jonas D.M. Fisher wrote in their paper "Why Has Home Ownership Fallen Among the Young?"

SPOTLIGHT: Home-schooled students adapt at college
"I wasn't fazed at all," said Sanchez, who is studying political science at UIS in hopes of a career in law.
Lawless, too, says it wasn't tough moving from her parents' house on Glenwood Avenue to Thomas Aquinas College, a small liberal arts school in California.
"Having a roommate was not a big deal," she said. "I would say that it was simply . more people, a bigger contingent, which was exciting."
Sanchez grew up in Streamwood, a northwest suburb of Chicago, before moving to Lake in the Hills when she was 16.
"I was the first in my family to go from K to 12, home-schooled," she said.
"It was pretty normal, that's what I thought. I would get up in the morning at about 7, and from 7 until 1 or 2 . I would do all of the standardized subjects that they teach you in public school."
But others didn't always see it that way, especially adults who would walk past Sanchez with her mother in public on school days.
"I can't tell you how many times I was lectured as a 7-year-old, you know, 'Are you sure your parents are teaching you? Do you need help? Is it weird?'" she said.
Both women agree that what helped them become well-rounded was involvement in group activities as children.
"My parents did a really good job of having us involved in other activities, so my brothers did baseball, the girls did Irish dance and piano, and one of my brothers took bagpipe lessons for a while," Lawless said. "Then we were involved with the youth group at church."
Sanchez's family also was part of a large home-school group that collectively took field trips, had trips to the gym and picnics.
"With us, my family individually, we were in different sports and art classes within the park district," Sanchez said. "I was definitely not anti-social or kept apart from everyone."
In Illinois, home-schooled students aren't required to take standardized tests, but they do have to take classes in language arts, mathematics, biological and physical sciences, social sciences, fine art and physical development and health, according to the State Board of Education.
At college, that all changes. Students often learn in lecture halls and have required reading lists, midterms and finals.
Lawless went small in picking Thomas Aquinas College, which enrolls about 360 students every year and offers a single, integrated program in the liberal arts, which means all students get the same degree.
"Finals was a new experience, but I enjoyed it," she said.
Sanchez said she attended Elgin Community College for two years before coming to UIS.
"A lot of us actually go to community colleges first, for our first year before college, just kind of transition into it," Sanchez said. "When I went to Elgin Community College, it wasn't hard. That was my first experience with it, having so many people and cultures and backgrounds."
Learning at home made Sanchez a more self-reliant learner, which helps at college, she added.
"Because I was so used to studying on my own . I'm surprised how some people have to have someone there to study with," she said. "They're not used to going at it on their own. I'm perfectly fine with that."
Home-schooled and public school students don't abide by the same rules in Illinois.
There are no requirements for the number of hours per day or days of instruction per year for private school students, which include home-schoolers, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.
They also aren't required to take standardized tests or register with the state, an issue that gained attention last year when state Sen. Edward Maloney, D-Chicago, introduced a bill that would have required registration of all students in non-public schools.
After an outcry of protest from home-school proponents, Maloney eventually tabled the bill and said he had no intention of reintroducing any measure requiring home-school registration.
Students taught at home are required by the state board to take classes in language arts, mathematics, biological and physical sciences, social sciences, fine art and physical development and health.

So where were you downloading them from before whomeam?
Well, on game rewind it's as smooth as watching it on tv. When you use that capture software to record the video then convert it to avi it ends up with it looking like the game is playing at 3/4s speed. It's not noticeable as much in small screen but full screen it is. So when you download it you have to cut out all the commercials or just the stuff inbetween plays. How do they come when you download them?
I think people would prefer the downloaded version because it won't have that 3/4s play speed thing going on. I'm still thinking people would prefer to watch the whole game in order. It would make things a lot easier for you. If you're set on editing it (I use to record tv shows and edit commercials so I know how hard editing is) and putting it up for re-watching the film sort of speak than I won't change your mind.
