I designed a memory book on Shutterfly, it was about my brother who was killed in VietNam in 1968. At the end of July my husband and I are going to a reunion of his military unit and I wanted to have the book to take with me. I ordered the book on June 30 and I got a notice that it had shipped on July 3rd. Today, July 5th, I got a phone call from a man living in the house we moved from earlier in the year. He said that my book was delivered to the old address. He said that he called Shutterfly to ask them what he should do with the book and they told him to throw it out. He opened the package and saw how important it was and did a little detective work with the phone book to find me. My husband and I will go to their home to pick up the book this evening. I have congestive heart failure and am upset and shaking right now. I can't believe they told the tenants of our old residence to just throw this book away. Since the book is of no value to them, I would like Shutterfly.com to reimburse me the $51.67 that I paid for this 20 page hardcover book.I would also like the $10.00 that it will cost us for gas to pick up the book reimbursed. I wish I knew what charges might be for being as upset over this type of treatment as I am, because I would also ask for that.
Either from the other gentleman or Shutterfly? And it isn't meant to be disrespectful, but it would likely cost morefor them to pay to have it returned and re-shipped than it would tojust re-create it and send a new one. Esp. when it isn't clear WHOSEfault it is that the book was misdirected, why would they go with thecourse of greatest cost if they have another option? So long as you got it at the end of the day, there is no need to be"upset and shaking" over it.
I understand being very upset. However I find your accusationstowards them to be a bit steep. Mainly because... they didn't just pull an address out of a hat tosend it to. They sent it to one of your previous addresses. Although you want them to reimburse you and give you extra money forgas, this is a case where you need to verify that you gave them thecorrect address first. I say this because... it happens sometimes. I once ordered somethingfrom amazon and didn't really think before clicking througheverything. I ended up picking a previous address that was over 100miles away. And I didn't even know it until Mom called me to tell me my DVD hadarrived. And of course as others have said, it may be easier for them to justremake the book vs changing the shipping.
Maybe someone at shutterfly figured it might just be easier/cheaper toremake the book and send it to your correct address, once youcontacted them? Nice idea to make the book and take it to the reunion. Sorry aboutyour brother.
When you finished your order, why did you put in your old address forshipping? If you used them before and had items shipped to your oldaddress, why didn't you update your address when 'checking out'? Why is Shutterfly to blame for you shipping mistake?
Alright, I sell a lot online. Things like this have happened to mebefore. The difference here is shutterfly is a big company and I am asmall one so I have a little bit more wiggle room. First, they don't make up the address they ship too, somewhere alongthe way, your old address was in there -- I don't know if this was acredit card order or a paypal order but yes, your old address wasn'tchanged somewhere. Second, you never contacted shutterfly. How exactly were they to knowyou did not get your order? Yes, you stated the person who got thebook called, but that doesn't mean that the person on the other end ofthe phone took the invoice number and knew where it was supposed to go- normally when people do not get their order they contact the sellerand they track it down or re-ship as needed. You didn't do that. Youjust went and got your order and left shutterfly out of the loop. Forall you know at this point, they have re-shipped a book. Third - it was a custom order - the bulk of what i do as well iscustom stuff, it is normally cheaper for me to remake the item andreship from my address rather then me pay for the return of the itemand then reship. I would also have told the person to discard theitem. However, I WOULD have gotten enough information so I couldcontact the original buyer and explain the delay, and most likelyoffer a discount. Like I said, I have had this happen once or twice over the years and iknow lots of other sellers this has happened too as well. You reallyshould have contacted shutterfly directly about the mix up and allowedthem to correct it. Most likely they would have rushed you out anotherbook at no expense - that is just about how ever other retailerhandles mix ups like this.
My first thought after reading this was that maybe you updated justthe billing address and accidentally left the shipping address thesame. I know that is something easy to do on certain websites. Mysecond thought was that of McJohn's, is it possible that the companyplanned to investigate and simply send you a new book rather than havethe old one shipped back to them and then on to you. It makes senseto me that a big company like Shutterfly would rather save themselvesthe time, headache and expense.
Amazon did this to me as well. I asked them if they wanted me to mailit back (at their expense of course) and they said no just keep it orthrow it away they would mail the customer a new copy to the correctaddress.
sent to the wrong address (for whatever reason), and they don't wantto pay the postage to have it returned. a lot of companies would tellthe accidentally-wrong consignee the same thing: Toss it. I hope you can see that it wasn't personal. I'd hate for anything tohappen to you over a simple mistake.
I understand that their response isn't personal, and I've heard of allsorts of businesses that tell people to just throw something away. Infact, when they told William (the man who took delivery of the book)tojust trash it, he said that his first thought was that if they don'tcare why should he? But he said he couldn't throw it out withoutopening the box to see if it was something important. He had been inthe service so he knew right away that this would mean a lot tosomebody. Lucky for me he was the one who took delivery. Shutterfly is in the business, for one thing, to make books ofphotographs, writings and mementos for people. They should understandthat these are each and every one valuable to their customers.
I once received hardback books from some company and when I called andtold them that I didn't order them and if they would send me a postagepaid return label, I would send them back they took me to use keepthem or donate them. They didn't want them back.
Jane D., While this could have been handled better one has to wonder how theyhad your old address if you updated it at the time of the order. The service to our nation by your brother is appreciated. BillR.

San Francisco filmmaker (and Oscar nominee!) Sari Gilman talks 'Kings Point'
FILM Film editor Sari Gilman — her resume includes 2007's Ghosts of Abu Ghraib and 2002's Blue Vinyl — made her directorial debut with the 30-minute documentary Kings Point, a bittersweet exploration of a Florida retirement community. The film first screened locally as part of the 2012 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, and will air on HBO in March. In the meantime, it's been nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary Short. I caught up with Gilman to talk about her film — and little gold men.
San Francisco Bay Guardian Congratulations on your nomination! You knew your film was on the shortlist, but were you surprised when you made the final cut?
Sari Gilman Thank you! You know, I had no idea. I have worked very hard in my life to try not to predict the future. [Laughs.] I was very happy when I found out, but I don't think it would have destroyed me if it hadn't happened. Obviously, though, it's a total thrill and a complete honor, and more than I ever expected when I started making this movie.
SFBG Do you get to, like, walk the red carpet?
SG I do! I gotta get a dress! I mean, not that anyone's going to care who I'm wearing, but for me, it'll be fun.
SFBG What's your connection to Kings Point, the place, and what made you want to create a documentary about it?
SG My grandmother moved to the community in 1978, when I was about nine years old. I visited her there many times a year for 30 years. About 15 years in, I was starting to get involved in storytelling and still photography, and I was always really fascinated with the place on a couple of different levels: socially, it sort of seemed like it was a summer camp for old people, and then visually — it's 7500 identical one- and two-bedroom condominium units, spread out over miles. So there's a lot of architectural homogeneity. These long hallways that look exactly the same, with these palm-tree shadows on them. It seemed like a natural place to start exploring.
SFBG Since you knew the residents already, was it easier to get them to open up in interviews?
SG I think so. None of the subjects in the final film were people that I knew personally before I started making it, but some of them did know my grandmother, and they all knew me as the granddaughter of someone who lived there. I think that's what made it easy for them to talk to me. I also shared a lot with them about my grandmother's experience and my experience there, so the interviews weren't so much interviews as they were conversations. Obviously, we cut my voice out in most cases, but I think that I was able to get the kind of candid stories that I got because I was on the other end of the camera talking to them.
SFBG Though you've worked extensively as an editor on other people's films, you didn't edit Kings Point. Why was that?
SG As an editor, I knew how badly I needed an editor. I know that directors need to have a collaborator to provide perspective, and look at the footage with a little more of an objective eye. I got incredibly lucky in that I was able to hire Jeffrey Friedman [co-director, with Rob Epstein, of 2010's Howl and 1995's The Celluloid Closet, among others], who is a local luminary and an amazing filmmaker who edits occasionally. He was actually my mentor when I was learning how to edit in the 1990s in San Francisco, so working with him on my first film was a really great experience.
SFBG The tone of the film is unique in the way that it balances light-hearted moments with the sort of sad undertone that runs throughout.
is this film screening in SF anytime soon?

The Week in Villainy: April 8-14, 2007
Who's Up and Who's Thwarted
Vapor and X-Ray: This entry is a little overdue, but with the next issue of She-Hulk coming out next week, TWIV felt it imperitive to get this one out there.Siblings Ann and Jimmy Darnell (Vapor and X-Ray, respectively) were the only two Hulk foes to escape the Hulkbusters stronghold on the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier last month in She-Hulk #17.
[MARVEL] After spending days hunting down and capturing some of the Hulk's toughest foes, She-Hulk and the Hulkbuster unit are returning to the SHIELD Helicarrier for some much-deserved rest. The new SHIELD director, in fact, is there in person to debrief them. However, not all of the foes they've rounded up are going to sit quietly in their cells.
Thanks to something called Project Achilles, every other Hulk baddie was neutralized-- including Abomination, Wendigo, and the Darnell sibs' other U-Foes teammates.
Writer Dan Slott took special care to make it clear that these two were the only two to escape. That's a very good indication of Big Things planned for these two villains.
Another major movement of note in the same book was Zzzax, who was thwarted by a lame device on loan from a twenty-three-year-old movie.
(If you have a suggestion for "This Week In Villainy," please let me know.)

Return to Historical Information Return to "Rome like You'll Never Forget" |
During my vistit to Rome I visited several hotels. Amongst theese, I recommend the followings:
Hotel Barocco
Grand Hotel Palatino
Hotel Imperiale
Hotel degli Aranci
Hotel Barocco |
On the majestic Piazza Barberini, with Bernini's magnificent baroque fountain of the Triton, stands a charming little hotel whose name is an homage to the style that inspired the most scenographic squares and monuments of Rome; the Hotel Barocco. The entrance on the tranquil Via della Purificazione leads into the cosy, refined hall with its sofas covered in beige and orange-striped damask, oriental carpets and trompe l'oeil walls with scenes of classical Rome. The intimate and relaxing breakfast room next to the hall features elements in cherry-wood. The atmosphere of this exclusive hotel is one of elegance, reserve and comfort. The clientele consists of businessmen, professionals, artists and journalists as well as visitors from all over the world who come here to discover the beauties of Rome and the city's secret corners. Official website |
Grand Hotel Palatino |
The Grand Hotel Palatino is located in the heart of ancient Rome, only a short walk from the Colosseum and from the "Fori Imperiali" (Imperial Forums). It is also very near to the most fashionable Roman shopping area. Besides its 200 rooms, furnished with taste and equipped with all comforts, the Hotel can offer its guests several conference and meeting rooms. Official website |
Hotel Imperiale |
The newest boutique hotel settled in the heart of Florence at the side of the historic Palazzo Strozzi (at the number 1after the square) suggests a new vision of luxury: a wonderful spa and a very joyful Health and Beauty center, Heavenly beds and the latest hospitality technology. Benefits of traditions plus the modern world solutions. Official website |
Hotel degli Aranci |
The Hotel degli Aranci, recently refurbished, offers a warm atmosphere, a range of professional services and stylish accommodations. Few minutes away from the city parks of Villa Glori and Villa Borghese it offers the possibility to walk to the main attractions. The Hotel is surrounded by a small garden of orange trees and oaks where guests can rest and relax. The small fountain situated in the middle of the garden helps to recreate an atmosphere of old ages.Official website |

Posts Tagged 'SLA Resource Allocator
Market Oriented Cloud Architecture
As consumers rely on Cloud providers to supply all their computing needs, they will require specific QoS to be maintained by their providers in order to meet their objectives and sustain their operations. Cloud providers will need to consider and meet different QoS parameters of each individual consumer as negotiated in specific SLAs. To achieve this, Cloud providers can no longer continue to deploy traditional system-centric resource management architecture that do not provide incentives for them to share their resources and still regard all service requests to be of equal importance.Instead, market-oriented resource management is necessary to regulate the supply and demand of Cloud resources at market equilibrium, provide feedback interms of economic incentives for both Cloud consumers and providers, and promote QoS-based resource allocation mechanisms that differentiate service requests based on their utility.
Figure 1 shows the high-level architecture for supporting market-oriented resource allocation in Data Centers and Clouds. There are basically four main entities involved:
Figure 1: High-level market-oriented cloud architecture.
- Users/Brokers: Users or brokers acting on their behalf submit service requests from anywhere in the world to the Data Center and Cloud to be processed.
- SLA Resource Allocator: The SLA Resource Allocator acts as the interface between the Data Center/Cloud service provider and external users/brokers. It requires the interaction of the following mechanisms to support SLA-oriented resource management:
- Service Request Examiner and Admission Control: When a service request is first submitted, the Service Request Examiner and Admission Control mechanism interprets the submitted request for QoS requirements before determining whether to accept or reject the request. Thus, it ensures that there is no overloading of resources whereby many service requests cannot be fulfilled successfully due to limited resources available. It also needs the latest status information regarding resource availability (from VM Monitor mechanism) and workload processing (from Service Request Monitor mechanism) in order tomake resource allocation decisions effectively. Then, it assigns requests to VMs and determines resource entitlements for allocated VMs.
- Pricing: The Pricing mechanism decides how service requests are charged. For instance, requests can be charged based on submission time(peak/off-peak), pricing rates(fixed/changing) or availability of resources (supply/demand). Pricing serves as a basis for managing the supply and demand of computing resources within the Data Center and facilitates in prioritizing resource allocations effectively.
- Accounting: The Accounting mechanism maintains the actual usage of resources by requests so that the final cost can be computed and charged to the users. In addition, the maintained historical usage information can be utilized by the Service Request Examiner and Admission Control mechanism to improve resource allocation decisions.
- VM Monitor: The VM Monitor mechanism keeps track of the availability of VMs and their resource entitlements.
- Dispatcher: The Dispatcher mechanism starts the execution of accepted service requests on allocated VMs.
- Service Request Monitor: TheService Request Monitor mechanism keeps track of the execution progress of service requests.
- VMs: Multiple VMs can be started and stopped dynamically on a single physical machine to meet accepted service requests, hence providing maximum flexibility to configure various partitions of resources on the same physical machine to different specific requirements of service requests. In addition, multiple VMs can concurrently run applications based on different operating system environments on a single physical machine since every VM is completely isolated from one another on the same physical machine.
- Physical Machines: The Data Center comprises multiple computing servers that provide resources to meet service demands.
In the case of a Cloud as a commercial offering to enable crucial business operations of companies, there are critical QoS parameters to consider in a service request, such as time, cost, reliability and trust/security. In particular, QoS requirements cannot be static and need to be dynamically updated over time due to continuing changes in business operations and operating environments. In short, there should be greater importance on customers since they pay for accessing services in Clouds. In addition, the state-of the-art in Cloud computing has no or limited support for dynamic negotiation of SLAs between participants and mechanisms for automatic allocation of resources to multiple competing requests. Recently, we have developed negotiation mechanisms based on alternate offers protocol for establishing SLAs. These have high potential for their adoption in Cloud computing systems built using VMs.
Commercial offerings of market-oriented Clouds must be able to:
- support customer-driven service management based on customer profiles and requested service requirements,
- define computational risk management tactics to identify, assess, and manage risks involved in the execution of applications with regards to service requirements and customer needs,
- derive appropriate market-based resource management strategies that encompass both customer-driven service management and computational risk management to sustain SLA-oriented resource allocation,
- incorporate autonomic resource management models that effectively self-manage changes in service requirements to satisfy both new service demands and existing service obligations, and
- leverage VM technology to dynamically assign resource shares according to service requirements.

Indiana State University students often work in jobs on the University campus and in the Terre Haute community.
Many benefits exist for students who can balance the demands of work and school. Students who successfully manage classroom and employment commitments are much more likely to impress employers by demonstrating strong time-management skills. Working on campus or in the community also helps students connect with resources which may help them with challenges in and out of the classroom.
Student Employment helps students search for part-time work on and/or off campus. Our office provides free job posting and on-line application services to students and employers through the University's Applicant Tracking System.
Click Here to access the on campus and off campus jobs that are currently posted.

5/22/2012. . . Baldwin Crew Teams qualified half of their boats for the finals of the 2012 Stotesbury Cup Regatta; 3 out of 6 qualified for finals; 5 out of 6 qualified for semis.
"Baldwin's crews are rowing really well! There catch and drive sequence has really improved since Cities. The 3 seat in the Senior Quad (Natalie Webb) is really connected!" said Joe Quaid, Head Coach of Undine Barge Club and former U.S. National Team Coach.
In addition, Coach Liesel added that that two sophomores and made it to semi-finals and our lightweight double was the only local crew to make it to finals.
5/15/12...Baldwin's Pre-K through Grade V girls welcomed grandparents and special persons on May 14. From assembly to the classroom and the playground, guests were invited to explore the Baldwin grounds with their young thinking girls and to take part in the events and activities hosted throughout the course of the day.
"It was a great win for the team and one that they have worked very hard for," said Varsity Coach, Kathleen Simone. "The girls have developed so much this season and should be very proud of their progress. I know that I am."
JV Coach Sara Langsam added, "The JV game was a tight, even game and the girls played with heart to pull out a 7-5 victory. It was our greatest team effort so far this season. Highlights from individuals: Kate Leone had two goals and goalie Megan Cohen had 7 saves!"
5/14/2012. . . The Baldwin Varsity Softball team pulled off a thrilling 4-3 come from behind victory against Agnes Irwin on Friday, May 11th. AIS jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the third inning, but 8th grade pitcher Noelle Zimmerman stymied the Owls for the rest of the game. The Bears began their comeback in the 4th inning when senior captain Randa Melhem drove in her fellow captain, Amanda Buck. They tacked on another in the 5th inning after freshman Alexa Horwitz worked a walk, was sacrificed to second by senior Sarah Johnson, and scored on a single by junior Devon Cooper.

5/14/2012. . . Baldwin Athletics recently hosted the PA Independence Schools Athletics Association (PAISAA) Spring Meeting. Coaches and Athletic Directors from independent schools throughout the state assembled to hear guest speaker, Dr. Jarrod Spencer and to hold the PAISAA meeting.

Daryoush won first in her heat of the 100 Meter dash, posting a time of 14.8. She also ran in the next scheduled event, the 400 Meter dash, and posted a gritty personal best time of 1.11, good for second.
Hinchman turned in a memorable 200 Meter dash, catching her opponent on the back stretch and finishing first with a time of 30 seconds.
And finally, the Bears ran the 4X400 Meter relay for the first time all season, narrowly finishing second with a time of 5.12.4. That team consisted of Aileen Curley, Connie Li, Krista Hinchman, and Rachel Zachian.
The Bears hope to carry over this season's success into the 2013 spring season.

Connacht boss Eric Elwood admitted his side battled to cope with the tough playing conditions in Friday's 17-0 Heineken Cup loss at Biarritz.
The Irish province were full of confidence, after beating the Basque outfit 22-14 in Galway last week, but could not replicate that performance.
Heavy rain and an unforgiving pitch suited Biarritz's experienced pack and kickers of the calibre of Dimitri Yachvili and Damien Traille.
The French side were dominant with man-of-the-match Yachvili converting tries from Iain Balshaw and replacement Seremaia Burotu.
Elwood acknowledged that the conditions were worse than he expected.
"We had prepared all week and we knew the weather was going to be poor, but we didn't know it would deteriorate like that," he said.
"We knew it was going to be a huge challenge and the conditions did not suit us, but we were in a good space. However, unfortunately if you make mistakes at this level, you get punished."
Elwood explained that it was difficult to establish field position and that Connacht's kicking game was poor, with Dan Parks struggling to exert much influence.
"When you are playing in conditions like that, it's nearly a disadvantage to have the ball," he said.
"Our kicking game was not at its best today and we got severely punished.
"We couldn't get the yardage in our kicks and we struggled in that area today. It was disappointing that in the kicking battle we lost out today."
Despite the defeat, Elwood said there was still satisfaction in his side having beaten the Top 14 campaigners in Galway, if not in Biarritz.
"We take a lot of satisfaction from last weekend's win," he added.
"We were looking forward to playing on a nice dry track, it would have been nice, but they are a big team and we are not the biggest.
"It's not our style of play to play into that, and when you have to go toe to toe with the heavyweights, it can be difficult on nights like tonight."
Balshaw revealed that his side had concentrated all week on cutting down the error count in an effort to make up last weekend's shock defeat to Connacht.
"We improved dramatically from last week," he said.
"It was going to be difficult for both teams in the conditions, but last week we made 32 turnovers and in this competition when you make that many turnovers, it will cost you.
"This week we focused on cutting individual errors out and concentrating on our basics, and we did that tonight. We put a lot of pressure on Connacht, cut down on errors and we came away with the win.
"We handled (the weather) a little better tonight, just like last week Connacht handled the game a lot better than us."

Topic Title: 3-in-1 TableMike automatic gain control Topic Summary: did I miss something? Created On: 02/08/2012 03:25 PM Status: Post and Reply |
- bmac | - 02/08/2012 03:25 PM |

I must've missed the discussion about the 3-in-1 TableMike AGC. When I look at the properties for this microphone, the AGC box is unchecked. If I check the box, the 3-in-1 TableMike will turn it off anyway. Doesn't this cause a problem because the microphone volume level will always be on super high and hence will be very sensitive to any other noise in the office.
------------------------- Bill |
Interestingly enough, we just finished writing our new four-page SpeechWare 3-in-1 user guide (lots of pictures). You don't have to worry about the AGC because it's automatic. The 3-in-1 microphone includes its own variation of the AGC. As your volume level drops, the 3-in-1 increases the volume input while simultaneously applying what we believe to be upper midrange parametric EQ to help eliminate the unwanted hiss that can occur when amplifying an input signal. Although we don't recommend the following procedure, if you really want to make the 3-in-1 sensitive (such as dictating over some crazy distance) you could try backing off to about 3 feet when running the Audio Check. This should trigger the AGC but we don't recommend the procedure because it would probably make the microphone too sensitive.
When you lower your voice or back away from the microphone, it will automatically compensate by increasing the volume input level but if you're workspace starts getting a little noisy, you can move closer to the microphone which will reverse the effect by making your microphone less sensitive. No need to rerun the Audio Check. However, if you're workspace becomes too noisy, for the auto level control to handle, you could switch to the blue light mode which bypasses the amplifier and EQ. You also have to get a bit closer to the microphone to use the blue light setting because it is designed for slightly noisier environments, previous versions of NaturallySpeaking, VoIP and even HD audio podcasts. HOWEVER, if your environment gets really really noisy you can completely bypass the 3-in-1 by plugging a good noise canceling microphone, into the 3-in-1's microphone input jack, such as the new Audio-Technica Pro 8HEmW microphone (did you notice that sleazy way we slipped in the commercial) which can all but cancel out the noise of a freight train. SpeechWare tried to make this microphone as versatile as possible. That's why they included a separate microphone input jack and even a high fidelity headset output jack. Keep in mind that this is the 1st of 3 models. The 6-in-1 will include additional amenities while the 9-in-1 will go the extra mile by including -------------------------
thanks Lunis. Interesting comments. Regarding the sleazy way that you slipped in a commercial, I have been meaning to mention that you need to add a disclaimer on your site that users will be required to sign that they will agree to hold you and your company harmless for any incurable addiction they develop for microphones and KnowBrainer software during the course of visiting your website and reading your posts! ------------------------- Bill |

Annie Tracy Samuel served as the guest editor of the Fall 2011 Special Issue of Sharqiyya, the English-language E-journal published bi-annually by the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University and the Middle East & Islamic Studies Association of Israel. The issue contains five articles on the Arab Spring, as well as Tracy Samuel's editor's forward.
"The past year has been one of tremendous change in the Middle East and North Africa. The transformations that have come in the wake of momentous upheavalsnow commonly known as the Arab Springhave a wide and varying significance. For many people in the region, the past year has been one of daring, fearless action in pursuit of far-reaching political change. Their demands induced fear among the long-time, autocratic rulers, which has resulted either in the abdication of long-clung-to power or in brutal resistance and violence against masses of unarmed, pro-democracy protesters. World leaders have found themselves scrambling to protect various vital interests while struggling not to end up on the wrong side of history."

I am in the process of buying a new board, this time my pick is a Hellfire. Well, first of all a little bit of introduction. I am 34 years super fit, weight is 169 lbs. and 6 feet tall. My surfing level is intermediate. I normally ride a potatonator 5.6 and my shortboard is an alternator 6.0.
The waves i ride in my area are mainly beachbreaks, sometimes powerfull, and sometimes weak, even when it is head high. I am getting rid off of the alternator and expecting to get a Hellfire. What would be your recommendations for a Hellfire board? I want to use it when the waves are head high and up, I would like to hear some inputs about fins too FCS, please. I have read Chris is using 5.10 and went down to 5.8.!! I am a bit confused.
I appreciate any info regarding this doubt.

The very first show featured in our Sports On TV column was 'Saved By The Bell,' and with good reason. It's one of those shows we've all seen whether we like it or not, and face it, you can't spell "Internet" without 'Saved By The Bell.'
Saved By The Bell's 20 Greatest Sports Moments featured so many of the classics — Zack becoming an Indian to deal with track team stress, girls on the wrestling team, wheelchair basketball, Zack hitting a soon-to-be-dead-from-oil-spillage duck with a baseball — but it didn't feature them all. It's only fitting that the first part 2 entrant in Sports on TV history would be 15 MORE great sports moments from the show.
So, please click through to enjoy sports moments 21-35 from 'Saved By The Bell.' Warning: there is a lot of spooning-disguised-as-instruction gags in these entries. A LOT.

Dan Marce is being remembered as a man who dearly loved his family, community and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Marce died with his family at his side in Regina early Wednesday morning.
The 67-year-old suffered massive injuries after he was hit by a car Friday night while on vacation with his wife, Jan, and three other couples in the Cayman Islands.
Initially he received medical care in George Town, Grand Cayman, but was later transported to a Miami hospital and then to Regina where he succumbed to his injuries.
According to a police report, Marce was struck by a vehicle while crossing a street near a local restaurant. A female driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. She was released on bail while the police investigation continues.
Marce was a good friend to many people, said Bob Hughes, former executive editor of the Leader-Post.
"If you needed something, he would do it for you," Hughes said. "He was as stubborn as a donkey. If he got something in his mind, he would not let it go until it happened. But usually he was right. If you had him on your side in any kind of project, you didn't have to worry about anything."
Hughes has fond memories of Marce through numerous sporting events and later as a publisher.
"We were part of the same golf group at the Wascana (Country Club)," Hughes said. "The first project he and I did together was the history of the Regina Rams. He was a great publisher. He was just relentless in keeping me on deadlines."
The pair spent countless days looking at more than 6,000 pictures at the Saskatchewan Archives when they collaborated on another book, The Big Dig: The Miracle of Wascana Centre.
Marce's many civic endeavours included organizing a golf tournament that raised tens of thousands of dollars for Parkinson's research.
"I am not sure if people are aware of all of the charitable things Dan did," Hughes said. "And he was devoted to his wife, Jan, and the three kids. They really were his life."
Marce made his mark at PrintWest Communications Ltd. where he began work in April 1997 as manager of book publishing and distribution. He officially retired on Dec. 31, 2010, but continued to consult for the company.
With a laugh, Dennis Ermel, CEO of PrintWest Communications Ltd., described Marce as stubborn.
"But stubborn in a good way, for us, because he would never take no for an answer when he was working on a project," Ermel said. "If he believed in a project, he would do whatever it took to make that project work ... Dan had a great sense of humour, but was very competitive too. We'd have some golf challenges. If he was on your team, he was your best friend. When he wasn't, he was going to beat you!"
Over the years, Gord Staseson worked closely with Marce on books that included Regina: The First 100 Years and Saskatchewan Roughriders First 100 Years.
"Dan had a great love for Regina and the Riders and he was a great family man," said Staseson, who noted that Marce was also a strong supporter of the junior golf development at the Wascana.
"He will be greatly missed," Staseson said.
Marce will also be missed by the Leader-Post Foundation of which he was a board member for about 18 years, said Jim Toth, foundation chair.
"The foundation published 14 books and Dan was instrumental in almost every single one of them ... We couldn't have done it without him," Toth said. "Our board is going to be at a loss without Dan. He was so generous with his time."
The sale of the books has resulted in the foundation handing out $450,000 in scholarships and bursaries.
Marce was a passionate supporter and long-time season ticket holder of the Roughriders.
He started volunteering in 1981 before working as the club's director of marketing from 1982 to 1985 and again in 1992 and 1993. Marce had served on the Roughriders board of directors from 1993 to 1999.
He was extensively involved in the Plaza of Honor dinner serving as chairman of the selection committee from 1992 to 2006 and was the executive producer of the induction ceremonies for more than 17 years.
"Gord Staseson got the Plaza of Honor dinner going, but Danny just turned it into an absolutely phenomenal show," Hughes said.
News of Marce's death shocked and saddened the Roughriders organization.
"He was a guy who loved life and having fun," said Jim Hopson, president and CEO. "He's a guy who won't easily be replaced."
Tom Shepherd knows that all too well. He knew Marce for more than 50 years.
"He was a very dear friend and a great family man," Shepherd said.
"He was an outstanding person in his faith, which meant much to him and his sporting activities which he excelled in and of course his love for the Saskatchewan Roughriders."
Despite Marce's many outside interests, Shepherd noted that family always came first.
"They meant the world to him ... He will be sorely missed."
On Wednesday afternoon, Doug Rogers was still in shock after learning earlier in the day that his long-time friend had died.
Rogers met Marce in 1976 when they worked together at Cairns Homes. In later years, the men were partners for some time in MMR Developments and became good friends.
"Danny always brought a lot of passion and devotion to everything he did," Rogers said.

Microsoft InfoPath 2010 is a forms-creation and data-gathering tool that helps organizations streamline business processes. InfoPath 2010 is designed for both advanced business users and developers, depending on the type of forms-based solution an organization needs.
Without writing code, advanced business users can use InfoPath 2010 to design sophisticated electronic forms to quickly and cost-effectively gather information.
Developers can create advanced forms for departmental and enterprise business processes, including composite applications and workflow sequences, with InfoPath 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, and SharePoint Designer 2010—using little or no code.
Quickly design forms with easy-to-use tools
- Design faster with the Ribbon interface. Instead of traditional menus and toolbars that might require several steps to complete a task, the Ribbon displays commands in a tab structure, organized by tasks that are related to a certain activity, so you can create the forms you want faster.
- Enjoy cleaner forms with InfoPath Filler. InfoPath Filler provides a cleaner user interface for people who are filling out forms.
- Create sophisticated forms without writing code. Declarative logic and layout features—including out-of-the-box rules, improved rules management, varied styles, and prebuilt layout sections—help you create sophisticated forms quickly and easily. You can add validation, formatting, or actions to a form with just a couple of clicks.
- Publish forms with a single click. Click an icon on the Ribbon Quick Access toolbar to publish your form, or use the Microsoft Office Backstage™ view. The Backstage view gives you a single point of reference for information that is essential to the task you are performing, such as publishing.
- Create forms for SharePoint lists. With InfoPath 2010, you can create attractive forms with a click of a button based on SharePoint regular or external lists. If you have data in SharePoint lists, you can quickly and automatically generate a form with all of the SharePoint list fields, and then customize it, reducing the time to create a form.
- Provide offline form completion with Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010, formerly known as Microsoft Office Groove 2007. People can fill out forms online or offline with a native integration of forms with data (stored in regular or external SharePoint lists) in the Office SharePoint Workspace interface.
- Include forms in SharePoint Server 2010 business process solutions. When utilizing SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Designer, InfoPath 2010 forms can be deployed as part of an automated business process, including workflow, such as routing and notification capabilities based on information within the form. Build modular, extensible, and portable workflow solutions. For use at the departmental or enterprise level, SharePoint workflow solutions can be built using little or no code with InfoPath. These solutions are modular (you can build from an existing list or library), extensible (you can add capabilities with code), and portable (you can publish using the Windows SharePoint Services solutions file [.wsp] and SharePoint site template [.stp] formats to move the application from site to site or server to server).
- Enjoy richer Web forms. Many controls and functionality previously available in the InfoPath client application, such as combo boxes, filtering, and date and time controls, are available now in InfoPath 2010 browser forms. These can be used in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.
- Easily manage forms on the server. InfoPath forms can be monitored as a true component of SharePoint Server 2010. New SharePoint Maintenance Engine Rules ensure that InfoPath forms are correctly configured in their farms. You can also manage InfoPath forms using Windows PowerShell command line shell and scripting language, which is included in SharePoint Server 2010.
- Enhance forms with code. You can enhance InfoPath forms with code to better fit your organization's specific business-process needs using Visual Studio Tools for Applications and easy publishing capabilities such as SharePoint Server Sandboxed Solutions.
- Connect forms with line-of-business (LOB) information. SharePoint Server 2010 offers an extensible architecture for managing user access to data connections and systems. InfoPath 2010 also works with Business Connectivity Services (BCS) of SharePoint Server 2010. BCS enhances Microsoft Office applications and SharePoint platform capabilities with out-of-box features, services, and tools that streamline development of solutions with deep integration of external data and services.
- Get support for REST Web Services: InfoPath 2010 now supports getting XML data from REST Web services. REST Web Services use input parameters that are passed in through a URL. Form designers can now change the URL parameters dynamically in the InfoPath form without any code, using rules to get desired data from the REST Web Service. Embed forms in Web pages. In SharePoint Server 2010, it's easier than ever to host your forms on Web pages using the new InfoPath Form Web Part. Without writing a single line of code, you can use the Web Part to host any InfoPath browser form that has been published to a SharePoint list or form library. You can also connect it to other Web Parts on the page to send or receive data. Also, new .NET FormView control allows developers to host InfoPath 2010 forms on any ASP.NET web pages.

Andaz West Hollywood
8401 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA, USA
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The old "Riot Hyatt" on Sunset, site of countless acts of rock-star debauchery and destruction, is now just about unrecognizable. Mötley Crüe's loss, however, is your gain — it's been reborn as the Andaz West Hollywood, the old balconies, venue of many an aerial TV toss, sealed off with full-length windows to make more space for the swanky junior suites. Hyatt's Andaz hotels are well tailored to their locations, and the Andaz West Hollywood perfectly sums up today's Sunset Boulevard, which has cleaned itself up quite a lot since the Seventies and Eighties heyday of the Strip's hard rock scene.
In the hotel's case, actually, cleaned up is an understatement. The new interiors are sleek, though still sunny, with plenty of white space and crisp modern furnishings. It's a slightly spare style, which is probably more user-friendly for working guests, and gives the odd misguided rocker less furniture to trash.
As for the nuts and bolts of the place, it's essentially a slightly hipper, marginally less plush version of the Hyatt's luxury brands. There's a rooftop swimming pool and sun deck with a stunning view, a 24-hour gym, a swanky lobby lounge, and a restaurant, RH, serving upscale French-inflected fare from locally sourced ingredients. And perhaps best of all, the riots these days are few and far between.
How to get there:
Andaz West Hollywood is approximately a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to an hour in traffic. Valet parking is available for $32 USD per night.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival
- Guaranteed 3pm late check-out
- a 15% discount in the restaurant

The Latest News - Bavarian State Ballet
The world première of Helden opened the Ballet Festival Week 2013. Together with visual artist rosalie and a monumental music score provided by Lera Auerbach and Alfred Schnittke, Australian choreographer Kohler puts the myth of Prometheus and Epimetheus at the center of his work for the Bavarian State Ballet.
Kohler sets the scene for his heroes in present times, transporting the original conflict between two brothers into today's fast paced technology age in hope of finding a better future for humanity.
Myron Romanul conducts the Bavarian State Orchestra for this performance. Joining the ensemble for Helden in order to accommodate Lera Auerbach's elaborate orchestration are two additional instruments: the "singing saw" and the theremin.
The four main characters will be danced by Karen Azatyan (Prometheus), Wlademir Faccioni (Epimetheus), Séverine Ferrolier (Athena Parthenos) and Mai Kono (Pandora).
Live coverage begins at 7.30 pm on www.staatsoper.de/tv
In 2012/13, the Bavarian State Opera will be the first international opera house to present, with STAATSOPER.TV, a season with online live-streams provided free of charge. Opera and ballet lovers from all over the world will be able to enjoy a total of seven opera performances and two ballet evenings full and live online from Munich. Helden will be the eighth live-stream of the season. The next performances to be streamed live during the Munich Opera Festival 2013 are Il trovatore and Boris Gudonov.

Richard Siegal receives Munich Dance Award
The award recognizes outstanding achievements in all genres of dance and personalities in the arts that help further the city's growing reputation as a culture capital. The city council agreed with the proposal of an expert jury who nominated Mr. Siegal. They supported their decision with the following statement:
"Richard Siegal has a strong background and a strong presence. In Munich, he has long become more than an intellectual driving force. His work is ever present: his party-performance CoPirate opened the DANCE festival 2010. Only two years later he presented his moving, self-reflective solo Black Swan and As if Stranger (part of the series transACTION 2008). In 2012, he presented Civic Mimic at the New Egyptian Collection as part of the Rodeo Festival."

The 2012/2013 Season at the Bavarian State Ballet
Which ballet legacy will you experience during the 2012/2013 season? Follow our line of thought from tradition to modernity. And last but not least, which new commissions will be presented? Here, a little taster.
The mixed-bill program entitled Forever Young will premiere on November 17. The evening's program consists of works that may have been perceived as outrageous during their respective time. To this day, they remain a rare item in ballet repertoire around the world. Léonide Massine's Choreartium, the first ballet choreographed to a symphonic score, is one of these works: outright scandalous in 1933, it has since become a distinct masterpiece without expiration date. Much similar to the second piece on the program: José Limón's The Moor's Pavane. The third and last part will be Broken Fall, a recent work by an ambassador of both London´s classical and modern dance scene, Russell Maliphant.
We celebrate the opening of the Ballet Festival Week 2013 with an original full-length ballet by Terence Kohler. Heroes - are they of the past? Do we still need them, and if so, what makes a real hero? Composer Lera Auerbach contributes the original score while both costume and set will be designed by rosalie. On April 23 and 24, the Mikhailovsky Ballet St. Petersburg will present Nacho Duato's Sleeping Beauty at the Nationaltheater. Finally, after a two year absence, we continue our Terpsichore Gala series with number XI.
The highly anticipated premiere of the late Merce Cunningham's 40-minute piece Biped, with a music score by Gavin Bryars, will take place on June 25. The program will also feature a young, but internationally experienced choreographer, Richard Siegal. For this world premiere, Siegal works in close collaboration with the renowned Munich designer, Konstantin Grcic.
On September 21, we welcome a beloved ballet fairy tale back into our active repertory: La Bayadère. We have been yearning for our very own Migratory Birds to return - they will "flock" back into the Nationaltheater on February 15. Remaining in our repertory are Steps & Times, Goldberg Varations / Gods & Dogs, Illusions – Like Swan Lake, La Fille mal gardée and The Nutcracker. Of course, the Bavarian State Ballet II will also offer an exciting program during the season!

Iowa Great Lakes = Great fun
Okoboji region has plenty for whole familyOKOBOJI, Iowa — The Okoboji Great Lakes area has a lot to offer — and that is not an exaggeration.
OKOBOJI, Iowa — The Okoboji Great Lakes area has a lot to offer — and that is not an exaggeration.
"Located in the northwest corner of Iowa, Okoboji is the central hub of the Midwest, being a short distance from a lot of the largest metropolitan areas," said Iowa Great Lakes Chamber of Commerce Tourism Director Stacy Rosemore.
From amusement parks to golf courses to museums to shopping, Okoboji has it all. But perhaps one of the largest attractions (literally) would be the six lakes in the area.
Covering approximately 15,000 acres, the natural glacial lakes are the largest in the state. They offer a wide variety of water recreation, from fishing to kayaking to parasailing.
"West Lake Okoboji is the largest attraction for water recreation," Rosemore said.
With a variety of water sport and boat rentals in the area, the possibilities are endless. However, the possibilities don't end at the waterfront.
Arnolds Park Amusement Park
The three-car train slowly makes its way up to the top of the wooden hill, closer and closer to the sign that clearly reads "The Point of No Return." As the train reaches the top, just under the ominous sign, it stops for a second, as if contemplating the drop, and then … Whoosh! The train is speeding down the wooden track at 50 mph, curving up and down and to either side, racing with the wind, trying to defy the laws of gravity as it swoops down steep sides and up strange angles — and then it stops. The ride is over, barely more than a minute after it began.
Titled "The Legend," the 1927 wooden coaster is one of the many classic rides available at Arnolds Park Amusement Park.
Built in 1889, Historic Arnolds Park is just that — historic. One of the longest-operating amusement parks in the world, the park consists of both classic and modern rides.
Arnolds Park used to feature the Roof Garden, which had a dance hall, retail shops and the Fun House. A center of music, the Roof Garden featured popular artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beach Boys and Johnny Cash.
In 1968, the Roof Garden was hit by a tornado and rebuilt. However, in 1987, the park closed and the Roof Garden, along with several other buildings, burned to the ground.
Arnolds Park reopened in 1989, only to face closure once again 10 years later as the new owners wanted to put a condominium complex in its place. The Okoboji community was told it had to raise $4 million to save the park. Within 30 days, the community raised well over $7 million.
"It's your typical amusement park," said Rosemore. "There are rides for kids and people of all ages. People can walk through the park for free, or purchase a day pass to ride everything. It's kind of like Coney Island — it has an old-fashioned amusement park feel."
And even though the Roof Garden is no longer there, the music still exists. There are free concerts Saturday nights during the summer for the "Live at the Lake" series. The Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Museum and Association is also located in the Arnolds Park Amusement Park complex and hosts Thursday night concerts.
Exploring the culture
Not looking for a thrill? For the tourist that would rather kick back and learn some Iowa history or look at some good old art, Okoboji offers an exceptional amount of activities.
"We have the Maritime Museum, which features a lot of old boats and basically a history of the area," Rosemore said. "We also have the Iowa Rock and Roll Music Association, the Abbie Gardner Cabin and the Higgins Museum, which shows a history of money and banking, as well as a lot of art galleries with some permanent and traveling exhibits."
The Abbie Gardner Cabin and Museum is a historical site that shows one of Iowa's tragic frontier events — the Spirit Lake Massacre.
In the summer of 1856, the Gardner family arrived at Lake Okoboji and built a cabin. They came with eight people and all the food they needed for the winter.
In March of 1857, Inkpaduta, a Dakota leader, led his band north to the Okoboji area in search of food.
When the settlers of the area refused to give up their food, Inkpaduta's band took action, killing 33 people and abducting four women, one being Abbie Gardner.
Eventually, Abbie Gardner and another captive were set free. Inkpaduta eluded capture for several years before moving to Canada, where he died.
In 1891, Gardner returned to the cabin and turned it into one of Iowa's first tourist attractions. It's now furnished with pioneer artifacts gathered by Abbie Gardner, with other items currently at the Dickinson County Historical Society in Spirit Lake.
The Okoboji Summer Theatre in Spirit Lake is a great place to be for any theatre lover. Open only in the summer, it offers nine shows throughout the season that vary in genre.
There are also several golf courses in the area, including Brooks National Golf Club.
"We also have a couple of miniature golf courses — Pirate's Cove, Treasure Village and Ranch," said Rosemore.
Shopping and dining
"We have a lot of unique shopping," said Rosemore. "Lots of people come to town with their own tastes and flare. There are lots of great shops open year-round."
The Central Emporium located in Arnolds Park is a historic mall with a variety of interesting shops.
With Peruvian jewelry at Dellapina's, natural smoothies at MaKonu, and an "optimistic" clothing line at Life on the Lake, the Emporium has a lot to offer shoppers.
The Okoboji area also offers several gift and antique shops, each with their own distinct personalities.
After all that shopping, one might be inclined to grab a bite to eat. And finding something in the area to suit one's taste buds shouldn't be a difficult task at all.
With more than 50 restaurants available, Okoboji offers tastes of Jamaican, Asian, Mexican and American foods, in addition to cafes and bars.
For those with a craving for seafood, Yesterdays is the place to be.
Having been in the area for 28 years, the menu offers everything from sandwiches and salads to fresh fish, steaks and pastas.
One room, titled the Florida room, has skylights and windows. Other areas have cherry oak booths and brass finishings.
One of the more unique aspects of Yesterdays is the Japanese Teppanyaki Room.
"You have your own personal chef at the table," said Duane Zahradnik, who owns the restaurant with his wife, Marilyn. "He prepares your hibachi vegetables and fried rice right there at the table in front of you."
The Teppanyaki Room has two tables, each with 8-10 people per table.
"You definitely need a reservation for that room," said Zahradnik.
Another highlight is their wine, which they research in depth to be sure it's of high quality.
"Our wine is very unique," said Zahradnik. "You get your bank for your buck with our wine. You can't buy our wines in the stores; they are very nice and unique."

Sometimes, at the end of the day, the only thing someone may be thinking is, "Where am I going to sleep?"
The answer is a matter of personal preference. From hotels to resorts, to bed and breakfasts and to camping, all of the options exist.
With more than 15 campgrounds in the area, pitching a tent or building a campfire isn't out of the question.
However, if you're looking for an old house feel together with today's modern technology, the Wild Rose Inn of Okoboji is for you.
Currently owned by Mark and Shelene McDermott, the 2.5 acre property holds 13 suites, a formal dining room, living room, commercial kitchen and a common room titled the "Admiral Quarters." Outside is a dry creek with a connecting waterfall and pond, as well as a gazebo, patio and century oak trees.
Although it was built in 1998, the bed and breakfast was built to look like an old Victorian house, with a lot of trim work, detail and ornate decoration.
"We have our own private chef," said Shelene McDermott. "Oftentimes we get special requests. Sometimes people request champagne or chocolate strawberries in their room, so we do that."
The Wild Rose Inn holds numerous events, including weddings; bridal showers, family reunions and corporate retreats, and is located between Okoboji and Spirit Lake by West Lake Okoboji.
"Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are recommended, just so people can get the room they want for the nights they want," McDermott said.
Reservations at Wild Rose Inn of Okoboji can be made at (712) 332-9986.
