La Jolla (San Diego), California
La Jolla is a large community within the city of San Diego, California. With the Pacific Ocean on three sides and Mount Soledad to the east, this peninsula makes for an excellent resort destination. The beach is just a short and steep walk from downtown La Jolla. Sporting some of the most expensive housing in the country and home to many top research institutions, the wealth in the area is very apparent. This means many of the stores in La Jolla are upscale, but there's also more moderately-priced stores and also the t-shirt and gift shops typical of a beach town.
Girard Avenue serves as the primary Main Street in town with many one of a kind boutiques and familiar chain stores. Prospect Street serves as La Jolla's other Main Street and is home to a large variety of art galleries, restaurants and other businesses, including office buildings and historic hotels. Other stores can be found on side streets, including several independent shops along Ivanhoe Avenue. Coast Boulevard leads down to Scripps Park and the cliffs before winding back up into town again. Nearby La Jolla Shores has some shopping and dining options as well. La Jolla is about twelve miles north of downtown San Diego just off the five freeway. Other Main Street communities in the area worth checking out include, the Gaslamp Quarter, Old Town San Diego, and Coronado.

Take Control of Apple Mail in Tiger
Work efficiently and avoid seemingly inexplicable problems in Apple's Mail program with the only book available about Apple Mail in Tiger!
Best-selling author Joe Kissell spent untold hours testing to understand how Mail in works and what to do when it doesn't act as expected. You'll learn about the different email protocols Mail supports, the best ways to set up new accounts, how to import messages and addresses, and how to manage Mail's parental controls.
That's only the tip of the iceberg, as Joe next teaches you how to customize your incoming mail view for fast browsing of messages, control the styles you see in incoming messages, display slideshows of attached photos, reply to meeting invitations, find messages using Spotlight, and organize mail into smart mailboxes. Then, he turns to outgoing mail, showing you smart ways to address messages, tricks for sending attachments, how to add clickable URLs, and using Mail's new HTML support.
Version info: This ebook is updated for Mail 2.1.1, which is bundled with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Ebooks about later versions of Mail are available; use the Search field above or look in the catalog to find them.
In addition, you'll find seven key bits of advice about rules, five ways to improve the Previous Recipients list used for spam filtering and address completion, and six suggestions for Spotlight-enabled smart mailboxes. If you're having trouble, Joe offers solutions to numerous problems, including what to do if you can't send or receive mail, step-by-step instructions for fixing damaged mailboxes, and how to make Spotlight see messages it isn't finding properly.
Read this ebook to learn the answers to questions such as:
- Can Mail download messages from Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo!, Gmail, and AOL?
- How can I import messages and addresses from other email programs?
- Why (and where!) did all of my IMAP mail suddenly disappear?
- Is there a better or faster way to address my outgoing messages?
- Is there a way to force Mail to display only plain text and not HTML?
- Which folders should I copy to back up my email?
- Are there third-party tools that extend Mail's capabilities?
"I love this ebook! It's easy to read, easy to navigate, and darned informative. I thought I knew everything about Mail but I've already found several tips that help me use it better." -Katie Weller
- Update Plans
We have no plans to update this particular book, but we have additional titles that cover later versions of Apple Mail.

Mail Tips and Musings from Joe Kissell
Find out what Joe thinks about changes in the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard version of Apple Mail and with the topic of email generally. In MacVoices #1076, Joe joins host Chuck Joiner to chat about what's new in the world of handling spam, how to use Google Apps to manage multiple email addresses within a single Gmail account, compromises and changes that Apple made to Mail in order to turn it into an app for an iDevice, and more.
Joe also talks about what's new in his Mail-related ebooks that were released in May of 2010—Take Control of Apple Mail in Snow Leopard, Take Control of Spam with Apple Mail, and Take Control of Mail on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

Read Your Email on Multiple Computers
In MacVoices #1065, Joe Kissell talks with host Chuck Joiner about two core email concepts - the POP and IMAP protocols. In particular, he explains how IMAP makes it possible to work with your email messages from more than one computer in a fluid, sensible manner. He also gives tips for switching from POP to IMAP and for using IMAP in popular email systems, including Gmail and MobileMe accounts, the Mail program on a Macintosh, the Mail app on an iPhone or iPod touch, and he discusses how the Gmail approach to storing, searching, and labeling email messages can sometimes be "hyper-weird." Joe also talks about how spam filtering can work with IMAP accounts.

First event of 2010, first event since joining team FJ, and first win of the season for Geoff Ogilvy at the SBS Championship. Geoff fired a near flawless final round 6-under 67 on Sunday that featured just one missed green to come from two shots back with 10 holes to play and win at Kapalua for the second consecutive year. Geoff has now fired eight consecutive rounds in the 60's on the Plantation Course, including the four this week (69-66-68-67). He finished the week with a 22-under 270 total for a one shot victory, the seventh of his career on the PGA TOUR. It was announced this week that Geoff had joined team FJ and he has been wearing a StaSof glove and FJ ICON golf shoes all week en route to his title defense. On Sunday he wore the all-black FJ ICON Sport saddle, style #52088. This year, WHEN FJ WINS, YOU WIN. Find out how you can win the same FJ equipment that Geoff was wearing on Sunday (FJ ICON style #52088, StaSof glove). Click here for more.
You know, since I picked Geoff to win, I think I should win the first contest, too!
It was really fun watching Ogilvy this weekend. If I could take his "calm" to my game I'd be a much better player.
BTW, the ladies want to participate in the contest too. How about some shoes choices for us? ;o)
first off congratulations to geoff for his win.
and following that, great promotion/sweep to start off the new year. thanx chris, you guys at FJ are the best. but you already know that.
Not a huge fan of the Sport Saddle, but love the All Black version. Impressive week for Geof.
Congratulations Geoff and Titleist/FootJoy on the great victory. Hopefully this is just the start of a great season for Geoff and Titleist/FootJoy.
First off, congratulations Geoff on a great victory and to Geoff and his wife on baby #3. This is just the begining of a great season for Geoff and Titleist/FootJoy...
Now, is it to early to go out on a limb to say Zach repeats at the SONY?!?
Way to get the new promotion off to a flying start. Congrats to Geoff and FJ for the victory.
Great start for Geoff and the Acushnet family. Congratulations to both parties and I look forward to a great year of golf.
Awesome win. What a way to start the 2010 season. So nice to have some great golf to watch again. Ogilvy is the man.
Congrats to Geoff and FJ / Titleist. Great way for FJ to start the season, 1 for 1. I'm sure this is the first of many to come.
Geoff really came thru and showed what a realy great golfer can do. Do you think it might have been because he joined the top 2 teams in golf, meaning Titleist and FootJoy of course. Great win to start the season and hopefully more to come.
Ogilvy has always been a fantastic and exciting player to watch.
Congratulations to FJ/Titleist for signing Ogilvy and immediately scoring a win!
Sensational Start for 2010
I alway liked Geoff Ogilvy as a Pro golfer and a truly one of nicer guy on the links. I hope the Golf Gods are kind to him for the rest of the year. I think FJ & Titleist have made a great chose in signing Geoff to wear and play their products.
Geoff, Nicely Done! FJ's and Titleist rock with more wins coming!
Way to go.
The black shoe looks nice.
I might order me a pair never really thought about a solid color golf shoe.

Texas Police Now Admit 15-Year-Old Jordan Edwards Killed By Cop Was Not Driving In An "Aggressive Manner" After Video Is Released
SMDH….Situations like this are why many people do not trust the police. As family and friends mourned the death of a 15-year-old boy shot in the head by a police officer in a Dallas suburb over the weekend, the police chief said Monday that new evidence showed the killing did not unfold the way the authorities had originally claimed. Check out the details below….
The Police Department in Balch Springs, Tex., said Sunday that the officer, whose name has not been released, fired on a car carrying the teenager, Jordan Edwards, a freshman at Mesquite High School in nearby Mesquite, Tex., because the car was reversing down a street toward the officer in an "aggressive manner."
But Jonathan Haber, the police chief, told reporters at a news conference on Monday afternoon that video showed the opposite. He said the officer fired when the car was "moving forward as the officers approached," according to The Associated Press. The Dallas County medical examiner's report ruled the death a homicide caused by a "rifle wound" to the head.
Lee Merritt, a lawyer for the Edwards family, praised the police chief for his willingness to admit the department's mistake and called the new account "a big deal."

Today's Financial Times first editorial is headlined: Purnell gives up on the Labour Party.
I'm at a loss to know why James Purnell should be seen a bellweather for the future political direction of the Labour movement.
His recent statements suggest he's confused about the future. As well he might be having overseen regressive, punative welfare reforms in his capacity as former Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. Now out of office, he celebrates community development.
Meanwhile, the fight for the soul of the Party goes on.

Honestly, obtaining that acceptance letter to dental school is a challenging method and often you might really feel like providing up. There are a lot of hoops you have to jump via, but as soon as you obtain acceptance, it's a refreshing feeling to say the least. University-preparatory schools , typically referred to as 'prep schools', can be either publicly funded, charter schools or private independent secondary schools funded by tuition fees and philanthropic donations, and governed by independent boards of trustees.
I wish I could say that I replaced it with wooden boards to make a clever pun on school board." But the truth is that I was playing with the template, accidentally pushed the wrong button, and lost the bricks. In homeschooling and on the internet schools , teaching and studying take location outdoors of a classic school constructing.
By mid-century, complete higher schools became frequent, which had been designed to give a free education to any student who chose to keep in school for 12 years to get a diploma with a minimal grade point average. Government, missionary and some private higher schools supply the ZIMSEC curriculum and conduct ZIMSEC Ordinary Level (Form Four or Year 11) and Sophisticated Level (Upper Six) examinations. I'd like to create an employee free of charge speech policy to guarantee that school employees will feel free—and encouraged—to contribute publicly to the discussions about our schools.
Following this, the school curriculum has gradually broadened to include literacy in the vernacular language as properly as technical, artistic, scientific and practical subjects. But no a single had to appear extremely far for evidence that the administration is inclined to close more schools. Let's hope that tonight's discussion about cutting back the school year will be in lieu of a discussion about a lot more system cuts.
In Germany students graduating from Grundschule are not permitted to straight progress into a vocational school, but are supposed to proceed to a single of Germany's general education schools such as Gesamtschule , Hauptschule , Realschule or Gymnasium When they leave that school, which generally happens at age 15-19 they are allowed to proceed to a vocational school.
These high schools are usually hard to get into, particularly science and foreign language, which creates competition to go to a excellent higher school. Teachers and school staff have invaluable information about what is happening in our schools and what may possibly need to change. They have asked this in relation to keeping Hoover Elementary open and opening the new east-side elementary school. Today most of the schools comply with the missionary school model in terms of tutoring, subject / syllabus, governance minor adjustments. Most of the schools provide lunch at the school lunch center which all the students eat together. For example, All buildings require a Guidance Counselor." Except Hoover gets only 60% of a guidance counselor , given that it shares its counselor with other schools.

Luminescence and Energy Transfer in Ca3Sc2Si3O12:Ce3+,Mn2+ White LED PhosphorsJournal of Luminescence
Document TypeArticle
Publication Date1-1-2013
AbstractExpanded emission spectra ranging from green to red are reported in Ca3Sc2Si3O12 (CSS):Ce3+,Mn2+silicate garnets. Mn2+ may occupy Ca2+ site (Mn2+(I)) to generate a yellow emission band at 574 nm or Sc3+site (Mn2+(II)) with red emission band at 680 nm. Efficient energy transfers from the green emitting Ce3+ to both Mn2+(I) and Mn2+(II) occur upon blue excitation into Ce3+. Concentration dependence of Mn2+emission is analyzed based on Ce3+–Mn2+ energy transfer, steady state rate equations, and fluorescence lifetimes. Energy transfer efficiency (ηT) and rate (W) are calculated with values as high as 45% and 14.01×106 s−1, respectively.

Ceremony Movie Review
3 Reasons to See Indie Comedy Ceremony
The indie film Ceremony, starring Michael Angarano as a lovelorn writer who tricks his best friend (Reece Thompson) into helping him crash the wedding of the woman he's in love with (Uma Thurman), expands its limited release today. While the film, the first feature from writer/director Max Winkler, has flown under the radar, I have a few reasons why it might deserve to be on your must-see list.
- Because you love Wes Anderson. While it's not an Anderson film, Winkler's distinct voice has a clear influence from Anderson, particularly in the script and style. Along with Anderson, the movie is also reminiscent of Woody Allen's work. If you're a fan of Allen's lovably neurotic male characters who are also head over heels in love, then you'll be into Ceremony.
- The ridiculously charming cast. Angarano and Thurman have believable chemistry as former lovers, but it's the friendship between Sam and his best friend Marshall (Thompson, best known for Rocket Science) that really stands out. The actors seem like old friends, nailing Winkler's funny dialogue in their scenes together. The supporting cast also includes two scene-stealers: Lee Pace is on point as Zoe's fiancé, a quirky British filmmaker who loves himself but loves Zoe more, and Jake Johnson as Zoe's drunkard brother.
- If you're getting married. The movie has wedding inspiration for days, from its inclusion of the old-fashioned game paper chase as a group activity for guests, to the decor and fashion. The ceremony setting is a gorgeous outdoor venue with paper lanterns and round globe lights, while Thurman's hair and makeup are stunning. Likewise, the bridesmaids are outfitted in various shades of pink and red — even if you're not getting married, it's cinematic eye candy.

i warn you, this is a little... stream-of-consciousness. and a little raw. proceed with caution and grace.
a day that is not different, not special, not really that crazy, but not exciting either...
i feel... unmotivated. almost lethargic. a bit lonely. a bit productive. a bit creative. tired. emotionally worn out. cold. sad. my heart is aching for some people i love, and they don't know it, and they probably wouldn't understand why.
this is the second time i've been in tears today. the first time was so personal, i won't describe it here. this time its because i love those people. so. much. Jesus, hold them and help them know You are.
there's a ... thing... in my office that says "FAITH" and it is right across from my desk today. and i'm alone in here and while that has aided in the "get stuff accomplished" bit of the day (thank the Lord), it means i have a lot of quiet for my thoughts to roll around in my head. very few distractions (which i really do love on days like this). but FAITH. maybe that's it. maybe it's feeling a little shaken.
i've been reading a chapter of john's gospel each day since Feb. 4, and since Feb. 10 i've been reading a psalm and a proverb. it's been good. i've been reminded of things that God has done and will do and is doing, and how i can come to Him with literally everything i'm feeling. i love that He gave us people falling apart, people failing, and showed us how He used and completed them.
i want to be used. i want to be part of the creation that is glorifying Him. i know i'm not good enough alone. thankfully He is with me, in me. but it's still scary, and i'm not feeling very sure. i sort of wish He'd tell me more of the plan. but i realize that then i'd probably be even more frightened and i'd become one of those pillar statues, stuck and stone and unmoving. even so, it's frustrating.
and in so many ways, for so many reasons, for so many things, i don't want to wait anymore.
i cling to faith, by His grace.

and members of three families whose loved ones were murdered following Jibril Rajoub's incitement to murder in 2015 and 2016, submitted a formal complaint to the Israeli police against Rajoub.
PMW is taking this unusual step because we believe this is an urgent time for the Israeli government to take action. Neither Rajoub nor the other Palestinian leaders who incited hate and terror which drove the 2015 - 2016 terror wave in which 44 people were murdered, have been arrested or imprisoned for their crimes. As a result, many of the same PA and Fatah leaders are now inciting hate and violence in response to both the original decision of President of the United States to move the American embassy to Jerusalem and the subsequent American announcement that it is opening on May 14. [
See numerous examples reported by PMW
There is a real danger that Israel's inaction against Palestinian leaders' previous incitement to murder will lead them to conclude that they can again incite murder with impunity, this time over the Jerusalem Embassy opening on May 14, 2018, which could lead to another terror wave.
Palestinian leaders must understand that if they incite violence, terror and murder they will be arrested and imprisoned. This step is fundamental to ensure the deterrence that could very well save lives.

Wrongful Assault Convictions a Problem for Calgary and Canada
Back in 1983, Ivan Henry was convicted of ten sexual assaults that occurred in downtown Vancouver between 1980 and 1982. He was declared a dangerous offender and imprisoned for an indeterminate sentence. Unfortunately, during Henry's incarceration, assaults similar to the ones he had been accused of continued; the wrong man had been convicted, and it would take another twenty-seven years before the miscarriage of justice would be rectified.
It was not until 2002 that Vancouver police were able to link another man to some of the assaults with the help of DNA evidence; the man would later plead guilty to the crimes. Due to the similarities between these cases and the crimes Henry had been convicted of, an investigation was launched to determine whether he could reopen his appeal. Finally, in 2010, the British Columbia Court of Appeal entered acquittals on all charges, and Ivan Henry was a free man.
What Does This Mean for Calgary Assault Cases?
To all of us in Calgary, Henry's case should serve as a wake-up call about the nature of criminal defence cases in the modern world. His wrongful assault conviction is being attributed to a failure on the part of Crown prosecutors to properly disclose important information. Key forensic evidence was kept hidden from the jury, and witness statements were apparently obscured to mask inconsistencies in the prosecution's case.
According to Justice Low of the British Columbia Court of Appeal, the verdict in Henry's case "...was not one that a properly instructed jury acting judicially could reasonably have rendered." As such, the Supreme Court ruled on April 30th in favor of allowing Henry to sue the provincial government for damages resulting from the prosecutor's actions.
This is an important ruling, in that it provides a precedent that may serve to protect people wrongfully accused of assault or other crimes in Calgary. In allowing Henry to sue, the country has reevaluated its standard that a wrongfully imprisoned individual was not entitled to damages for acts or omissions of the Crown counsel except in the event that maliciousness could be proven. This is a standard that has gone largely unexplored since the 18th century, before prosecutions were made public, and one that has been deemed too strict in today's judicial system.
According to the court, an individual in Henry's position must now only reasonably establish that the prosecutor who worked on his or her case, on a balance of probabilities, purposefully withheld information that he or she should reasonably have known was material to the criminal defence, and that the lack of this information violated his or her rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Henry's lawyers are calling the ruling a "significant victory," for Henry himself and for any other individual seeking to protect his or her rights following a wrongful assault conviction in Vancouver, in Calgary, and throughout Canada.

Madura. The interior of the Tuncum [Tamukkam]
Photographer: Lyon, Edmund David
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1868
Photograph of the interior of the Tamukkam building at Madurai in Tamil Nadu, from an album of 40 albumen prints by Edmund David Lyon. This view looks across a room, furnished in European style, and towards a vista of cusped arches. At the right stands a European couple - presumably the judge of Madurai and his wife - she seated at a musical instrument, he standing at her shoulder. The judge at Madurai in 1868 was Edward Croft Greenway Thomas (b.1829). In his 'Notes to Accompany a Series of Photographs Prepared to Illustrate the Ancient Architecture of Southern India' (Marion & Co., London, 1870), edited by James Fergusson,
Lyon wrote that the photograph '...represents the interior of a building called the Tuncum, situated outside the town on the opposite side of the river; it is called the ''Tuncum,'' and was built by Trimul Nayak in 1630 for witnessing cock-fights. It was in 1868 occupied by the Judge of Madura.' Lyon is referring to the Tamukkam which was once a palace of Rani Mangammal who reigned over Madurai in the second half of the 17th century. It was built in c.1670, capable of hosting royal entertainments such as elephant-fights. Taken over by the British, Tamukkam became the official residence of the District Collectors. It now houses Madurai's Gandhi Museum.

The documentary Kimjongilia is a total experience of North Korea that layers music, animated sequences, interpretive dance, and, most strikingly, harrowing interviews with escapees of the totalitarian state, interwoven with hallucinatory propaganda footage. Filmmaker N.C. Heiken creates a consistent and incredibly unusual sensibility in her film of pain and propaganda. Hundreds of thousands of North Koreans fill stadiums in praise of their leader with gymnastics, fireworks and synchronized marching formations – the footage may remind viewers of Leni Riefenstahl's The Triumph of the Will. This footage is edited together with the voices and faces of victims behind the veneer who reveal a human loneliness and despair that is rarely communicated in life.
This film is a visceral reminder of the devastating injustices practiced around the world today. This is a country where a "crime" committed by one person leads to the life-long imprisonment of three generations of his or her family, and where children are forced to watch their family members publicly executed. In one particularly memorable testimonial, a man recounts how he escaped the prison camp at the expense of his friend's life: the friend was electrocuted as he passed through the barbed wire fence, allowing him to escape unscathed.
Awarded the EST FILM 2010 from One World Brussels, in co-op with Human Rights Democracy Network, Kimjongilia examines the mass illusion possible under totalitarianism and the human rights abuses required to maintain that illusion.

Almost everyone you know belongs in Hollywood.
Believe it or not, your co-workers, acquaintances, family members and even your church folk "get into character" every time you interact with them. This makes them excellent actresses and actors, and for those of us who wear our hearts on our sleeves and are not closed off or professional pretenders, this is the perfect set up for being mislead and mistreated.
You get so caught up in the beauty and the illusion of being so close to someone that you think you know them. Often, you bare your soul and share your ideas, feelings and experiences with people who are using you as a pawn to get ahead in life. Most times the person being deceived is oblivious to what is happening around them, and they willingly and foolishly accept everyone as genuine and operating in their best interest.
Unfortunately, this is the type of thinking that leaves us hurt and confused; crying to our mothers and our spouses about how great we thought this person was until something unexpected, or out of 'character' happens. Quickly and much to our dismay, the illusions start crashing down, and we're the only ones feeling delusional.
At this point, I believe it's safe to say that we don't really know anybody. For the most part, we only know what people want us to know, or what they want us to believe that we know. Once they've reached a certain age, most people start wearing different faces. That is to say, their behaviour changes – drastically I may add, according to the situation they find themselves. Granted, there is a time and place for everything and the way you behave at a board meeting shouldn't be the same as a party.
However, pretending to be friends with someone in their presence and dragging them under the bus when they aren't around – makes for good television, not great relationships. Lying about yourself or about others to make yourself more relatable also makes for good television. But time and time again these situations are our reality. Alluding to the fact that everything isn't as they seem and everyone can be great at putting on a show.
You should know: people pretending to be interested in your life want to know the most intimate details so that they can use it against you when the time comes. Don't let that happen. Keep your utmost personal feelings to yourself until you can truly trust those in your innermost circle.
But, be careful who you spend your time with, but most importantly, remember that everyone doesn't need to know everything about you. This, I'm sure is a tactic meant to protect you.
It's sad that society forces us to stray away from our purest form. That we're not free to laugh or speak or cry as we find it fit, because it's not appropriate. We are forced to become who they want us to be, while they scream "you're something special!" But soon enough, you'll realize it wasn't as close to the truth as you would have hoped. You're too special, too different, too free and someone, somewhere isn't happy about it. So they'll make you feel special, more than you'd ever hoped to be, while they break you to pieces and shove you into a box effectively shattering your will and your spirit and confining you to a space where you are nearly guaranteed to stay.
Protect yourself against this. Shield your heart and your mind, find holes in the pseudo friendliness and use it to your advantage. Don't let them change you into a bitter, cold, paranoid person with trust issues. Own the situation, but never lose control. You don't have to survive, you have to live. You were born free and so you shall holistically remain.
If you are surrounded by actors don't let them make you feel that there is no genuine person left. I'm telling you that real people exist. There are good people with no hidden agenda who will tell it to you straight to chaser – for your good.
Keep your eyes and ears open and make sure that you are alert with what is happening around you at all times. Let people think you've been fooled if you have to, but never lose yourself.
