Thurmont, Maryland
Cunningham Falls State Park
[ 5/10 ]
In my 40 years of camping I have never felt so unwelcome as I did when entering this park today. Not only were we not permitted to access a perfectly open site until the 3 PM check-in time, but also we were directed to take our 30 foot motor and just go park it somewhere until it was time. We went to the lake, and the person there was seemingly unwilling to let us take our camper into the beach parking area, the only place there was decent parking anywhere around. Some training in public relations is in order.
Montgomery City, Missouri
Graham Cave State Park
[ 8/10 ]
Wonderful, friendly host allowed us to drive around the loop and pick our site. Nice wooded sites. Road just a little tight for our 30' Airstream, but we got in OK. Will stop here again.
Gering, Nebraska
Robidoux RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
By far the nicest park we've seen in our years on the road. Great place to basecamp while visiting the area historic sites. Most friendly hosts, wide, wide grass lawn around each site, easy shopping nearby. You might think this is too far off the Big Road, but don't miss it, even for one night.
Moab, Utah
Spanish Trail RV Park & Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Nice people, nice sites, outstanding washrooms and laundry. Talk to the host about discounts on Colorado River cruises. So much nicer than any other CG in the Moab area that we looked at. Will certainly stay there again for Arches and Canyonlands exploration.
Fruita, Colorado
Colorado National Monument - Saddlehorn Campground
[ 10/10 ]
For boondocking this is the most magnificent, best kept secret on the road. There are no reservations, so get in early or off season. Pay attention to the trailer length restrictions. There were only a few sites which could take our 30' Airstream. Drive the loop, take the trails, see the sights. This is our third stay there and we will be back. Rate reflect Sr. Pass.
El Paso, Texas
Mission RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Large park with an efficient check-in system. Open gravel pull-through for us as we were on our way to Phoenix and only stayed one night. Would probably be brutally hot in mid-summer. Easy off and on expressway through town. Seemed very safe. We'd stay here again.
Marengo, Illinois
Lehman's Lakeside RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
Nice manager, led us to our site. Nice pull through with easy and clean full hookups. Open Midwestern field, side-by-side set up. Perfect for the three days we stayed as I had business meetings near O'Hare. Easy access to I-90 but road noise not too bad. We'll come back when we need to stay near the western suburbs.
Sand Springs, Oklahoma
Keystone Lake State Park
[ 8/10 ]
Beautiful park, we found out the next morning, but hard to figure out if you arrive late and are a newbie. Side-by-side pads in the Full hook up area, with a view out the front of your trailer over the lawn and lake. We could only stay the one night, but we'd stay again and get there earlier if possible.
Canyon, Texas
Palo Duro Canyon State Park
[ 10/10 ]
Don't miss this "hidden wonder" on the Texas plains. The nice, well-spaced sites are surrounded by the most glorious red and white bluffs of the canyon. Stay more than a day if you can. Take the trails. Study the history. Go to the visitor center. This was our second stay and we will go back again and again.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Enchanted Trails Camping Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Totally charming old 1950s Rt. 66 trailer park and trading post West of town. Fine site with a big tree, easy full hook ups. As an Airstreamer, this is a destination site due to the vintage units on display. We were assigned a space next to a vintage Airstream. There were two others staying the night we were there, and we visited with them as all 'streamers do. We'll always stay here when visiting our friends in Albuquerque.
Mingus, Texas
Cactus Rose RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
Just off I-20 on the south side. Very friendly hostess allowed us to check in after 8 PM, and assigned us to a level, well-lighted pull through as we were trying to 'make miles' toward AZ. Perfect for an overnight. Clean, well maintained, hooks ups easy, bath house very nice. We would stay here again.
Chincoteague, Virginia
Tom's Cove Park
[ 7/10 ]
Nicer than most giant parking lots, side-by-side, back-to-back camping, which is not our style. Few golf carts, a blessing. Close to everything "Misty" and all the rest. Staff is very nice. We would stay again, and ask for a treeful site.
Tobermory, Ontario
Tobermory Village Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Nice wooded sites. Some might find them a little tight. Sandy soil lets things settle in a bit. Excellent access to the parks and tours. We'd go back when at the tip of The Bruce.
Fayette, Ohio
Harrison Lake State Park
[ 9/10 ]
The North Camp is particularly nice, but South Camp is OK, too. Wide expanses of grass, easy lake access, solid electrical service for our A/C on hot days. For us this is "family land" so we find it special in many ways. It's an easy drop south from U.S. 20, and near enough to the Ohio Turnpike to make it worth the trip, even for only an overnight.
Hopkins, Michigan
Hidden Ridge RV Resort
[ 7/10 ]
A large "subdivision" of RV parking pads, concrete, nice, level, with grass between, but very open. You are "with" you neighbors, and that could be fun. I rate it lower because it's not our style of camping, even with our Airstream luxury trailer. Easy access from U.S. 131. Fancy office and efficient staff. Site 147 was shaded by a pleasant forest oasis in the afternoon. Some others live in direct sun all day.
Pensacola, Florida
Big Lagoon State Park
[ 7/10 ]
A nice FL state park, with sites well separated by bushes and dunes. Access to some is a challenge for longer rigs like our 30' Airstream with the long Henlsey hitch and big truck. We wiggled in and were delighted by the trail to the beach. We moved here after the Canopener at Topsail, so it was a marked contrast, of course. I'd come back to be close to the Naval Air Museum.
West Memphis, Arkansas
Tom Sawyer's Mississippi River Park
[ 7/10 ]
Simple, open place with, as others have said, dusty gravel. My experience is that the power, both 30 and 50, is such that it blows my AC breaker when I try to run AC, much needed on 90-degree May Day on the riverfront. Nice people, escort to site.
Roanoke, Texas
Northlake Village RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice park, near Texas Motor Speedway and I-35W spur just south of Denton. Good shopping near by. Quiet and very well maintained park with nice level spots, trees, and grass. Each spot has a patio. Texas 114 under massive construction while I stayed here, but when completed will be a dream in and out of Dallas. Good choice, good price, good people.
Homer, Louisiana
Lake Claiborne State Park
[ 9/10 ]
Do stop here. A very nicely kept state park with paved pads, good power and water, excellent dump station. Stayed in Loop A, surround by trees with lots of room between sites. Arrived without reservation. Staff very helpful and nice. WiFi worked flawlessly and free. Worth the drive off the I-20 even if just for a night. Will come back when through this way.
Riverside, Alabama
Safe Harbor RV Park
[ 4/10 ]
A simple gravel-and-grass parking lot just off a county road. OK for a quick overnight, as others have said. Not lovely in any sense of the word.
Pine Mountain, Georgia
F. D. Roosevelt State Park
[ 5/10 ]
An interesting park, not without its challenges if navigating a 30 foot trailer. Water and Electric only in smallish wooded sites, many around the Lake Delanor. State employees somewhat brusque but took our money. Nice to see once. We will not go back.
Asheville, North Carolina
Asheville's Bear Creek RV Park & Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice place, very easy to get in and out of from I-40. Priced appropriately for its location and the care they show in site maintenance. We will be back in April for four more nights.
Russellville, Arkansas
Ivy's Cove RV Retreat
[ 10/10 ]
This is a FINE wayside, near I-40 yet far enough away to mute traffic sounds. Beautifully maintained side-by-side pull through parking with grass and small trees between sites. A tasteful nightlight tops each power post; the water and sewer are easy to hook and clean. Friendly management. Great place to stay on your way to Petit Jean or Dardenelles.
Clinton, Oklahoma
Hargus RV Park
[ 3/10 ]
Not a campground, but an old trailer park next to the road. It would have been convenient as a way-side except the site promised to us over the phone was given away by the time we got there, even though we stated when making the reservation that we would be a late arrival, around 7:30 PM. Bits of someone's old picnic littered the site. The full hook ups worked, the WiFi didn't. We'll try to skip it next time through.
Lakeland, Tennessee
Memphis East Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Interesting place located at the back of a residential trailer community, which is nicely kept. Sites are mostly pull through with full hookups. Easy in and out, and far enough away from the Interstate to muffle the road noise. Good value.
Benbrook, Texas
Holiday COE
[ 3/10 ]
IMPORTANT: the GPS 32.637 -97.475 does NOT take you to the park. The gate is about 3 miles south of there, left off 377 on Pearl Ranch Road. This was once a nice park, but has suffered neglect. We used our Senior National Park Pass for $10 rate, normally $20. Wash house was clean, but nearly everything is broken, including the flush. Come self contained and ready to level, as most sites have some challenges.
Crozet, Virginia
Misty Mountain Camp Resort
[ 5/10 ]
Small, closely packed but generally well-kept park. Only some of the sites are FHU. We had just water/electric. Backing the 30' Airstream into some of the sites is a challenge. The dump site is interestingly located with a narrow road approach. Those waiting in line on Sunday morning have to pull off on the grass to let you out. They claim to have WiFi, but it never worked, not even in the main building. OK for a "place to park" while doing other things in the Central VA area.
Lewes, Delaware
Tall Pines Resort
[ 3/10 ]
Poured gravel sites RV area at the back end of a 600+ residential trailer park. Huge list of rules and regulations makes one feel unwelcome. 15 speed bumps beat up on your TV and Trailer. Water in shower house comes out in a trickle, and you have to keep pushing the GO button over and over. Dump Station placed on the wrong side of the road as you leave, requiring a turn-around to use it. Wildly overpriced for what you get. Skip it.
Pipestem, West Virginia
Pipestem Resort State Park
[ 9/10 ]
Variety of sites in the woods, full hookups available. Great park, good restaurant, good golf, putt-putt golf, nice pool, horseback stable, nature center. Pleasant staff all around. We've been twice and will go back. Good value for dollar.
Kingsport, Tennessee
Warrior's Path State Park
[ 9/10 ]
Wonderfully maintained State Park. Good 30/50 power and water, no sewer, but good dump station. Great mix of sites, only a few good for 30+ foot rigs or trailers. Lots of forest, close to river/lake. Rental boats, disk golf. Very nice. Will go back.
Lolo, Montana
Square Dance Center and Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Great place to base camp for Lolo Pass and all the Lewis and Clark things around Missoula. Owners very friendly and helpful. Wonderful pine forest surroundings. Easy access for all rigs. Highly recommended.
Cloverdale, Indiana
Cloverdale RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
This old park is well kept. We and three other Airstreams met here and would come back. Full hookups worked fine. Wi-Fi was strong and solid and FREE. Host provided us with a map taped to the door because we were late arrivals. Site was easy to access and set up was a breeze. Quiet and nice for an overnight.
Mountain Home, Idaho
Mountain Home RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
This is one of the finest parks we have ever used. Stay here if you can. Sites are level concrete pads with finely mowed grass and a small white fence in your "yard" for the full hookup. Immaculate laundry, grounds, and store. Very friendly, including three site dedicated to late arrivals. All pull through sites.
Washington, Pennsylvania
Whispering Pines Campground
[ 1/10 ]
This run down, side-of-road park does not deserve your business. The hostess, when she is around, is rude and totally unhelpful to a first-time visitor. We were returning to the East from an 8,000 mile trip with lots of RV parks under our belt when we picked this one from Woodall's. It does NOT deserve any rating at all. Skip it.
Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Camping in the Smokies RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Nice, clean, well maintained park. Right on the road, but little traffic after 10 PM. The host helped us park and the office offered outstanding welcome and local information. Large, grassy, mostly open sites in view of each other and the road, but that's OK. You're gone most of the day anyway in the Smokies. We'd stay here again.

Rec Ride Conquers Monstrous SF Hills
Out-of-towners often ask how we can possibly bike in such a hilly city (picture classic cable car heading north, uphill on Powell). We smile knowing that most of us began with a bike map and simply memorized the routes with the lowest grade of incline; but how about trekking those hills for a change? If you're up for the challenge, you'll be certain to look out at the landscape below with a smile on your face after tackling those monsters.
The Seven Hells of San Francisco rec ride is back! The ride will hit some favorite hills from previous years, including Twin Peaks and 21st Street, as well as take on a few new climbs. With breaks and a moderate pace, this 30-mile ride (map, route) should take about 4 hours. Last year's Seven Hells ride was well documented—check out the photos so you know just what you're getting yourself into!
Strong riders only, please. Granny gears highly recommended. We'll make every reasonable effort to stay together as a group. Rest stops announced on day of the ride. SF Bicycle Coalition recreational rides are free for SFBC members (a $5 donation from non-members is appreciated); rain cancels rides. Questions? Email Dan.
Meet at the large statue at east edge of The Panhandle (Baker, between Fell and Oak) Saturday, July 17th at 10 a.m.

Much has been written about "automatic qualifiers" for BCS games -- that is, conference champions who are guaranteed a BCS bowl berth -- but there was never a defined list of criteria for how a non-automatic qualifier conference could become one. Now there is.
↵The evaluation includes the following for each conference (1) the ranking of the highest-ranked team in the final BCS Standings each year (if a conference does not place a team in the final BCS Standings, then its highest-ranked team is determined by the conference member that has the highest average ranking in the computer rankings used in the BCS Standings), (2) the final regular-season rankings of all conference teams in the computer rankings used by the BCS each year, and (3) the number of teams in the top 25 of the final BCS Standings each year, with adjustments to account for differences in the number of members of each conference.↵↵A conference will become the seventh automatic qualifier if it finishes among the top six conferences in both No. 1 and No. 2 and if its ranking in No. 3 is equal to or greater than 50 percent of the conference with the highest ranking in No. 3.
That's good news for the Mountain West. Well, maybe.
↵The MWC has been the premier non-AQ conference for the last couple of years, buoyed by TCU, Utah, and BYU. TCU was fourth in the final 2009 BCS rankings, and Utah was sixth in 2008's last BCS standings. They satisfy the first criterion for the last two years; that's essentially half of a third of the battle, because results from the 2008-2011 period are going to determine whether the MWC crashes the BCS party.
↵The latter third seems easy enough, too: TCU, BYU, and Utah have all been in the top 25 of the final BCS standings in each of the last few years, greater than 50% of the Big 12's five schools in 2008 and the Pac-10's five in 2009.
↵It's that second one that will be tricky. Graham Watson writes that neither the MWC nor the BCS says the conference passed the threshold for the second criterion in 2009, and though there are exceptions...
↵Further, a conference will be eligible to apply to the Presidential Oversight Committee for an exemption if it finishes among the top six in both No. 1 and No. 2 and if its ranking in No. 3 is equal to or greater than 33.3 percent of the conference with the highest ranking in No. 3, OR↵↵If it finishes among the top seven in either No. 1 or No. 2 and among the top five in the other and if its ranking in No. 3 is equal to or greater than 33.3 percent of the conference with the highest ranking in No. 3.
...it's not entirely clear whether the MWC would be in the top seven conferences, because the formula for the rankings in the second criterion is some compilation of several computer rankings that isn't spelled out.
↵It's all fascinating for college football dorks like me, and leads to a ton of other questions. Do late-season losses by fringe top 25 teams drag down conferences? Could AQ schools lose their status if they don't meet the criteria? Do any biases of computer rankings tip the scales one way or another? How could superconference expansion screw all of this up?
↵It's hard not to get lost in the enigmas. To return to the point: yeah, there is a chance the Mountain West becomes an automatic qualifier after the 2011 season. We kind of know how it might happen. And we sort of don't.
↵College football's magical mystery tour rolls on.

"Fast, Light, Great display, battery life is okay"
Everything works great on this phone no freezing, display looks amazing, it is very thin and light, I always have great signal. The voice recognition works extremely well, I don't know if that is the same on other phones or not. The battery life is the only thing that could be better, it will easily last a whole day of moderate use if you are careful about the screen brightness though.

"Great Phone, Weak Battery"
Had the Atrix HD for a week. Took it back and reversed my upgrade. The phone is great on features and call quality, but the battery is weak and takes a long time to charge. That was a deal breaker since I can't always get to a charger and the battery is non removable. I love Moto because they have great antenna strength and call quality. maybe I'll wait and see if an Atrix HD MAXX is in the making.

"Great phone by Motorola"
I haven't had a Motorola phone, since the days of the StarTac. However, with Motorola not being on my top list, Samsung and HTC being on the top tier, I thought I would give the Atrix HD a try. For the price of $50 fro Best Buy, I just couldn't pass it up. As many have said, the Atrix HD is the closest thing to stock Android ICS, and I loving every minute of it. Yes, there is a slight learning curve from GB to ICS, but it's not all that hard to figure out. As much as my older Infuse 4G was... more...

Motorola Atrix HD Written Review by Taylor
We go through a lot of phones here at PhoneDog, and the Motorola Atrix HD for AT&T is definitely one the more interesting handsets. On the inside, it hosts some of the more common high-end specifications, yet it doesn't bear a huge price tag. For $99.99 with a two-year agreement, the Motorola Atrix HD is a great deal. That said, it's up against some stiff competition, and the holiday season will surely bring some serious competitors. Should the Atrix HD be your next smartphone?... more...

Bonita Granville (February 2, 1923 – October 11, 1988) was an American film actress and television producer.
Early life[edit]
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Granville was the daughter of stage actors, and made her film debut at the age of nine in Westward Passage (1933). Over the next couple of years she played uncredited supporting roles in such films as Little Women (1933) and Anne of Green Gables (1934) before playing the role of Mary in the film adaptation of Lillian Hellman's 1934 stage play The Children's Hour. Renamed These Three, a 1936 film that told the story of three adults (played by Miriam Hopkins, Merle Oberon, and Joel McCrea) who find their lives almost destroyed by the malicious lies of an evil attention-seeking child. For her role as that child, Granville was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, then the youngest person to be nominated for that award. Despite this success, and although she continued to work, the next few years brought her few opportunities to build her career.[1]
In 1938, she starred as the saucy mischievous daughter in the multi-Academy Awards nominated hit comedy film Merrily We Live and as girl detective Nancy Drew in the hit film Nancy Drew, Detective". The Nancy Drew film success led to Granville reprising the role in three sequels from 1938 to 1939, including Nancy Drew... Reporter (1939).
Later career[edit]
As a young adult, she was once again cast in supporting roles, often in prestigious films such as Now, Voyager (1942), as well as two Andy Hardy films with Mickey Rooney, Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble (1944) and Love Laughs at Andy Hardy (1946).[2] She is also remembered for her starring role in the World War II anti-Nazism film Hitler's Children (1943). Her career began to fade by the mid-1940s.
She was the heroine of the novel Bonita Granville and the Mystery of Star Island written by Kathryn Heisenfelt, published by Whitman Publishing Company in 1942. The novel's subtitle is "An original story featuring BONITA GRANVILLE famous motion-picture player as the heroine". The story was probably written for a young teenage audience and is reminiscent of the adventures of Nancy Drew. It is part of a series known as "Whitman Authorized Editions", 16 books published between 1941-1947 that featured a film actress as heroine.[3]
In 1947, Granville married Jack Wrather, who had produced some of her films. He formed the Wrather Corporation, and bought the rights to characters from both The Lone Ranger and Lassie.[citation needed] Granville worked as a producer for several film and television productions featuring these characters, including the 1954 TV series Lassie. She appeared in the film version of The Lone Ranger in 1956, and made her final screen appearance in a cameo role in The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981).[4]
In 1949, she appeared with Rod Cameron in the comedy film Strike It Rich, filmed about Tyler, Kilgore, and Lindale in east Texas.
The marriage lasted until Wrather's death in 1984, shortly after release of the movie The Magic of Lassie, which starred Wrather's pal James Stewart. Granville herself died four years later of lung cancer in Santa Monica, California, at the age of sixty-five. Their children are daughters Molly and Linda, and sons Jack and Christopher. Jack and Molly were from Wrather's previous marriage to Mollie O'Daniel, a daughter of Governor and U.S. Senator W. Lee O'Daniel.
Bonita Granville has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 6607 Hollywood Boulevard, for her contributions to motion pictures. She was honored at the Disneyland Hotel, which Jack Wrather owned until it was sold to the Walt Disney Company. The Bonita Tower and Granville's Steak House were named in her honor.

Inside Lacrosse NCAA 2010 Preview: No. 25 Villanova Wildcats
Tommy Kehoe - 1/18/2010
Villanova is coming off a successful 2009 campaign in which the Wildcats made their first NCAA tournament appearance by winning the Colonial Athletic Association conference championship. However, Villanova will be unable to defend their title as they enter the inaugural year of the Big East Conference for men's lacrosse. Coach Michael Corrado has to make some key decisions as the team gears up for practice on January 18th. He'll have to address the loss of 12 seniors, many of who played key roles in last year's tournament run, but he's confident in the leadership and talent that's returned to campus. Coach Corrado gave IL some insight into the decisions that need to be addressed, as well as his mind-set heading into a new conference.
Finding Finishers
Corrado will need to revamp his attack and replace 60 points and two stellar players in Tim Driscoll and Matt Fritts, respectively one and two in points for Villanova in '09. Their departure opens the door for sophomores Kevin Cunningham and Matt Bell; Cunningham was the third option at attack last year and Bell was the first off the bench. Cunningham has shown he can distribute and score as needed, versatility that will benefit an evolving attack. The third spot is still up for grabs for junior Alex Westcott and freshmen Jack Rice and Will Casertano, they will use the early practices to establish their roles in the offense. Rice has come on strong through the fall is looking to build upon an outstanding high school career at Boys Latin, while Westcott is already familiar with the offense and personnel; this may prove to be the fiercest competition through the spring. Sophomore C.J. Small and do-it-all junior Mike Brennan will provide steady support from the midfield, but they can not afford to leave goals on the table through a difficult Big East schedule. Finding consistent finishers will be vital to the team's success, in pivotal losses to Penn State, Sacred Heart (4OT) and Drexel, the Wildcats allowed the opposing goaltenders to post 16, 27 and 16 saves respectively.
Defensive Prowess
Another important piece lost to graduation was Andrew DiLoreto, a three year starter in net and the backbone to a defense that only allowed an average of 7.56 goals a game, good for 6th nationally. Corrado commented that sophomore Dan Gutierrez is making a case as the successor, but freshmen Peter Metcalf and Bill Hurley are keeping the competition tight. Corrado is keeping a close eye on his goaltenders and will evaluate them through their spring scrimmage. This is the only question mark in an impressive defense, but in either case, the new goaltender will be able to lean on the experience and communication of veteran poles around him. The defense brings back senior Bryan McCartney and junior Chris Ficke, who each started all 17 contests last spring. Senior Greg Boukas, junior Troy Higgins and freshman Hunter Broome are all vying for the 3rd defensive spot and at least two of these three will be serious contributors. The centerpiece of the defense will be 2009 CAA Defensive Player of the Year Brian Karalunas, a junior LSM who can create problems in the open field. Karalunas is everything you'd expect in a dynamic long stick, he's an athletic weapon who throws hard checks and can get the ball off the ground. He led 1st team pre-season Big East face-off selection Nolan Vihlen in groundballs last season, an accomplishment that is reflective of his gameplay. Also look for Brennan to play on the defensive midfield and man-down units, he can create transition with Karalunas by his side and open up the tempo if their settled offense becomes stifled.
New Conference, new challenges
Corrado touched on last year's tournament appearance and the potential carryover into the 2010 season, he said "it was a positive experience for the program and it should give our guys a sense of confidence. We certainly know what it takes to get there, the gap that still exists, and how to close that gap." The new conference will mean Corrado's staff has four new teams to scout, including Syracuse and Georgetown. The challenge and anticipation has the team excited for practice; they got a taste of the dance last year and they'll be hungry for more this spring. Corrado is optimistic about the leadership he's brought back to the locker room and balance he has throughout his roster; this is the type of team that will challenge in tight contests. Villanova will travel to UMBC to scrimmage on February 6th. They open the season at Ohio State on February 13th and begin Big East conference play on March 29th at Syracuse.

Usepackage is a tool for managing the Unix environment for a multi-tool, multi-platform site. It is designed to simplify login scripts and allow administrators to control users' environments centrally. This tool should be considered primarily designed for sites where users have to deal with a number of different tools, or versions of tools, that are installed in different locations and require environment variables to be set. This is particularly a problem for developers, or anyone who has to manage a large toolset across multiple platforms (e.g. different versions of the Sun JDK which require various environment variables to be set correctly). One or more central configuration files control a number of different "packages" and their associated environment and dependencies for different platforms (this includes the standard PATH, MANPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables). A single user command, use, can be invoked to source the appropriate environment information into the users' current shell.
nefu (network fidelity utility) is a Unix daemon that monitors services over the network. It uses a "no false alarms" fault verification algorithm, and understands network dependancies. Natively-monitored protocols include ICMP echo (ping), SSH, IPP, DNS, HTTP, POP, NTP, IMAP, SMTP, and LDAP, as well as having facilities to execute external programs. Status pages are available via finger or the Web.
PDC is a desktop calculator in the 'bc' style with features designed for programmers. It does not support floating point math, but does provide all the C operators (logical, bitwise, shifts, etc.) and implements ISO C operator precedence. Additionally, functions are available to assist with 'bit bashing' tasks such as byte swapping and bit scanning.
AVInfo is a utility for displaying AVI, MPEG (1 and 2), OGM, MKV, and IFO (DVD) information. It returns the length of a clip, FPS, resolution, codec, audio and video bit rate, number of key frames, sound parameters, the number and type of streams, and the language for audio/subtitles. It then generates a file list with statistics (HTML, plain text, or CSV).
Signal Applications To Audio Networks is a program aimed at different signal processing tasks. The primary type of signals are audio signals. The user describes networks of different modules using a special language, and the modules are dynamically loaded libraries. The system can be used to create music from scratch, or to process already created audio files, and depending on the complexity of the network versus the capacity of the host machine, everything can be done in "real time".
OpenDaemon provides a model of work along with its supporting APIs that allow anybody to implement a server of any kind, for any protocol. Its main goal is to help provide an advanced data storage solution that is flexible enough to allow its user to choose from a broad set of parsers, data extractors, processors, or any other supporting API. The generic server platform system is meant to make development of the data storage solution more open and distributable.
Nonpareil is a microcode-level simulator for HP calculators introduced between 1972 and 1982, including the HP-35, HP-45, HP-55, HP-25, HP-34C, HP-38C, HP-41CV, HP-11C, HP-12C, HP-15C, HP-16C, and other models. The necessary microcode is included, as is a microcode assembler. The GTK+ toolkit is used for the user interface.
Brook for GPUs is a compiler and runtime implementation of the Brook stream programming language for modern graphics hardware. The goals for this project are to demonstrate general purpose programing on GPUs, to provide a useful tool for developers who want to run applications on GPUs, and to research the stream language programming model, streaming applications, and system implementations.

Vinum was the first machine-made series of glasses in history based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietals. Vinum has had a permanent impact on the globe's wine culture. These glasses have proved that the pleasures of consuming wine start with the glass.
The magic of this glass is its ability to highlight the full spectrum of aromas and flavors offered by fine champagnes and sparkling wines while preserving their elegant effervescence. Bubbles pose a challenge. How do you keep the sparkle in sparkling wine? The solution lies at the bottom of each Vinum Prestige Cuvée Flute. Etched into each is a small dot, the purpose of which is to provide a slightly abraded surface that serves to generate a continuous stream of bubbles and prevent the champagne from going flat in the glass. Designed to highlight the bouquet of champagne, this light and well-balanced glass accentuates the complexity and richness of vintage champagnes and prestige cuvées.
Recommended for: Prestige Cuvée, Rosé Champagne, Vintage Champagne, Vintage sparkling wine. Each glass stands 8 5/8" high and holds 8 1/8 oz. Boxed set of 2.

The Pinstripe's pick pushed Pitt to the BBVA Compass Bowl for the third straight season. Syracuse will be in the Pinstripe for the second time in its three years of existence. The Orange won the inaugural game, 36-34, against Kansas State in 2010.
"We are thrilled to be invited to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl for the second time in three years," Marrone said. "It means a great deal to us to play a bowl game in Yankee Stadium where many of our alumni and fans will have the opportunity to share it with us. New York State is the foundation of our program."
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. from the Bronx, N.Y., and will be televised by ESPN. Holgorsen earned a $25,000 contract incentive for the bid and can earn another $25,000 with a win. The bowl's combined payout is $3.8 million. Syracuse and WVU will both be allotted 5,000 tickets, but the Big 12 will cover the cost of WVU's unsold tickets.
"I am pleased that our football team will get the reward of playing in a bowl game," WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck said. "Changing conferences has been an adjustment and I am proud of how our players have handled themselves and prepared.
"I am also excited for our fans, who will get the chance to visit a great city in close proximity to the state of West Virginia. I am looking forward to seeing Yankee Stadium filled with Gold and Blue."
Syracuse, which hammered WVU 49-23 at the Carrier Dome last season, is No. 21 out of the 320 Football Bowl Subdivision schools in total offense (473.42 yards per game), No. 21 in passing offense (301.58) and No. 60 in scoring offense (29.33 points per game).
Quarter Back Ryan Nassib is tied for No. 13 in total offense and led the Big East (312.33 yards per game). He passed for 3,619 yards and 24 touchdowns with just nine interceptions and had six games with at least 322 yards passing.
Receiver Alec Lemon led the Big East in both receiving yards and receptions per game. He's No. 26 in receptions per game (6.26) and No. 16 in yards per game (96.64). Lemon has caught 70 passes for 1,063 yards and seven touchdowns and had four 100-yard receiving games - including a 244-yard performance against Missouri.
WVU's defense is No. 119 against the pass (327.08 yards per game) and No. 113 in scoring (38.08 points per game.)
Syracuse's defense is No. 50 in total defense (385.08 yards per game), No. 62 in pass defense (236.92) and No. 52 in scoring defense (25.67 points per game).
WVU's offense is No. 8 overall (518.5 yards per game), No. 6 in passing (340.92) and No. 7 in scoring (41.58 points per game).
"An exciting West Virginia football team in the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl vs. Syracuse pits two high-powered offenses with elite talent on both sides of the ball, setting up to be one of the premiere bowl-game matchups this season," said Mark Holtzman, Yankees Executive Director of the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. "The Mountaineers players, alumni and fans will surely enjoy an exciting bowl week in New York City and a memorable game in Yankee Stadium."

Here's how RW members rated this race (251 votes).
In short: Dizzy, are you mad? Would anyone run nearly 42km and take a shortcut for a finishing time? No.Date of review: August 16, 2011
In short: wrecked by the farmers fieldIn full: This was hard for me the eevnt was good fun but i found the farmers fields the worst bit, long open areas that were rough on the foot but at the same time scienic. the signs were good but almost got lost with the red string in the woods, not good if your colour blind. some of the roads needed marshals and i got on the wrong end of a car horn ( thanks for the comments from the other runners to the car driver- i cant print what they said). Not my first choice for an off road event but will probably be back.All in all fantastic event for charity and a very good cause well done to the organisers good jobDate of review: August 16, 2011
In short: A great event, good for spectators with things going on all day.In full: I do this as a training run as i live in the area. I think the organisers should take a big thank you from us all as they do such a good job.My only downside was from some other runners who cut the race short on the 42k and still claimed a finish position, this is not playing the game and is not welcome in our sport.This will not stop me coming back to a really friendly, well organised event that will grow and grow. Thank you again.Date of review: August 16, 2011
In short: Dangerous road crossings, too much tarmac to call it a trail race but nice medal at the endIn full: Start of 20K was interesting - no warning!Mile markers were fine to 9 miles - and then nothing. Didn't see any marshals, only drink station operators. 20k was actually over half marathon. Seriously dangerous main road crossings coming back into the city.Personally I feel trying to organise so many different distances was just too much for the organisers. Nice medal though.Date of review: August 16, 2011
In short: A well-organised event with beautiful sceneryIn full: More road than usual for a trail run, makes for a good training run for an autumn road marathon. Lovely start up to Old Sarum, then views across Salisbury to the cathedral as you pass 2 miles. Only negative was the very busy road junctions (cars) to be negotiated at Wilton. The busy town streets were full of August tourists, but I was happy to put up with that for the enjoyable run past the cathedral, and along by the river. We were told distances were approximate, so not surprised to clock 26.8 for the marathon.Date of review: August 15, 2011
In short: Hard course but good as a scenic training runIn full: Ok so this course has got some great, no amazing! views and is mostly well arranged. Good facilities (you can use the showers at the nearby leasure centre for free post race). Chip times integrated into your race number, results and pictures available within 24 hours; all good so far. Downside is the route is not well marshalled beyond the water stations and there are far to many places to get lost (seriously, who thought dark green signs on tree's would be easy to see when your knackered from running). The 30k is well over distance (by about a mile), but thats fine if your using this event as a training run. When considering the course the route is hard, decent climbs, very very mixed surfaces. The last few finishing miles are great, even if you have to pick your way past pedestrians as you fly past the cathedral. I very much enjoyed the race, and as such would recommend it. Others might not like it but they can write the own review.Date of review: August 15, 2011
In short: one of my fav races of the year -glorious countryside , castle, catherdral , shetland ponies , deer and jelly babiesIn full: one of my fav races of the year -glorious countryside , castle, catherdral , shetland ponies , deer and jelly babiesexcellent parking and a nice medal and all for a good cause -- see you next yearDate of review: August 15, 2011
In short: Efficient organisation, friendly marshalls, plenty of drink stops, nice medal and parking within 50yds of finish line!Date of review: August 15, 2011
In short: WonderfulIn full: Fab run... if you like running in glorious countryside this is for you. We were a bit scared at the beginning when we were given copious notes and instructions along with a map that we might get lost... but the route was (mostly) well signposted and we soon just relaxed and enjoyed the views. And there were many of those...it was so quiet in parts that we startled a deer into our path. Checkpoints always offered cheerful encouragement, water or squash and at some we also got fresh fruit, Mars bars, cake, jelly babies or custard creams. Just be prepared to do a little more than the distance: my Garmin said we did 27 miles. Date of review: August 15, 2011
In short: Mix of Pavements, Trails, Fields, Lanes, RoadIn full: 30K course: Not as "off-road" as we would have preferred. Hills weren't steep, but the amount of hills suprised us. One section seemed a long time between water stops. A very enjoyable run. Shame about having to run through the city crossing roads towards the finish. Nice atmosphere at the end. Weather was kind too :0)Date of review: August 15, 2011

W found this review useful
I've only flown with them twice and the service from all the Virgin staff was first class but the legroom in economy is distinctly lacking and I'm only 5'6" so I don't have the world's longest legs!
Oh, and having our seats changed on from those we'd selected (on both flights) was a less than welcome surprise.
Probably the best track day company in the world.
They're not the cheapest on the market but their customer service is first class and they really do go the extra mile - they even helped me out once by taking a part off one of their cars (one they didn't have out on hire) to put on mine in order to get me back out on track.
They are also, without doubt, the friendliest bunch I've been on track with, particularly on the European days.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Richard Lugar
United States Senator
Senator Richard Lugar
As is now well known, Judge Roberts was born in Buffalo, New York, but moved at age eight to Indiana. The Roberts family settled in Long Beach, a small Hoosier community on the shores of Lake Michigan. John attended local schools there and in nearby La Porte, and in 1973 was graduated first in his high school class of 22, having also excelled in numerous extra-curricular activities - including co-captaining the football team despite self-described status as "a slow-footed halfback." Summers were spent, as they still are by young Hoosiers today, earning money for college, which in John Roberts' case included work in the local steel mill. Judge Roberts' path would lead first to Harvard, and then to serving his fellow citizens in numerous important posts in our Nation's Capital. But as one friend remarked when his nomination was first announced, "If you ask John where he's from, he says Indiana." One of my friends, a native Hoosier who worked alongside him in the Reagan White House Counsel's Office, also testifies to Judge Roberts' open appreciation of and pride in his Indiana roots. I know Committee members will understand my observing that our State takes a certain pride of its own in his nomination by the President to lead our Nation's highest court. Growing up in Indiana, one learns early-on that talent and accomplishments count - but honesty and integrity count more. One learns, too, that arrogance is scorned and pomposity will quickly be punctured. Modesty about one's gifts, and the obligation to use them responsibly and in the service of others, are lessons taught in the home and the classroom, and reinforced in the workplace and the public square. Love of country runs deep, as does profound gratitude for living in the heartland of a Nation endowed as none other in history with the blessings of liberty. For Hoosiers, the term "Midwestern values" is not a cliché but a way of life, passed-on by word and living example from one generation to the next. I believe most Americans realized, while listening to his thoughtful, humble remarks on the evening the President first introduced him as a Supreme Court nominee, that those values were at the core of John Roberts, both as a judge and as a man. Those introduced to him long ago - from the Hoosier neighbors, classmates and teachers of his youth, to those who later worked and served with him in the White House and other arenas - speak with one voice that this is the John Roberts they have always known. Simply put, John Roberts is a brilliant lawyer and jurist with an extraordinary record of accomplishment and public service. On this score alone, he readily merits the American Bar Association's "well qualified" rating, which is the highest it gives. He merits it all the more given the personal character and values that have marked each stage of that service. As the Founders observed when our Constitution was drafted, few persons "will have sufficient skill in the laws to qualify them for the stations of judges," and "the number must be still smaller of those who unite the requisite integrity with the requisite knowledge." Judge Roberts embodies the rare combination that the Framers envisioned. He also has remarkable industry and self-discipline, which are essential to a Court that Americans respect, as Justice Louis Brandeis remarked and Chief Justice Rehnquist reminded us, in large part "because we do our own work." This exceptional blend of professional and personal qualifications is especially important now, given the further responsibilities Judge Roberts has been called on to assume on the passing of the Chief Justice. Among the many tributes to this extraordinary public servant, I have been struck most by the observations of his colleagues on the Court. Whatever differences may mark their judicial philosophies, they stand as one in praising the qualities that made him such an outstanding Chief Justice for nearly two decades. As Justice Scalia noted, in leading "a philosophically diverse group of Justices . . . [h]is keen intellect and sound judgment commanded the respect of his colleagues, and his personal qualities of considerateness and fairness won their affection." In Justice O'Connor's words, "He led the Court with firm principles but with a light touch," and "secure[d] the cooperation and admiration of all of the Justices for the years in which he served." Justice Ginsburg called him simply "the fairest, most efficient boss I have ever had," who "fostered a spirit of collegiality . . . perhaps unparalleled in the Court's history." I know Judge Roberts is keenly and humbly aware of the large shoes he has now been asked to fill, the more so since the late Chief Justice was his own initial boss when he arrived in Washington a quarter century ago. All Americans can be grateful that Judge Roberts not only learned but has lived the lessons taught by his mentor and role model. In my judgment, he is supremely qualified to carry forward the tradition of fair, principled and collegial leadership that so distinguished the man for whom he once worked and has now been nominated to replace. Under the judicial confirmation standards that prevailed throughout most of our history, my remarks could appropriately end at this point, and this Committee and the Senate as a whole could proceed to consider Judge Roberts' nomination in light of the outstanding qualifications just summarized. Indeed, as Senator Biden noted shortly before chairing 1993 confirmation hearings for Judge (now Justice) Ruth Bader Ginsburg, nominees almost never testified in such hearings before 1955; and the last Supreme Court Justice from Indiana, Sherman Minton, was confirmed without controversy despite declining even to appear before this Committee following his nomination by President Truman. I am not troubled by the fact that Committee hearings, including testimony by Supreme Court nominees, are now firmly established as part of the confirmation process. These proceedings serve a vital role in our deliberations, and are a vivid course in "living history" for all Americans. It is important that we write that history well. All of this may be understandable. It remains, in my view, a fundamental departure from the vision of the courts and their proper role that animated those who crafted our Constitution. The Founders were at pains to emphasize the difference between the "political branches" - the Executive and the Legislature - and the Judiciary. Their concern about the potential dangers of passionate, interest-driven political divisions, which Madison famously called the "mischiefs of faction," influenced their design of our entire governmental structure. But they were especially concerned that such mischiefs not permeate those who would sit on the bench. Otherwise, they warned, "the pestilential breath of faction may poison the fountains of justice," and "would stifle the voice both of law and of equity." I believe that each of us in the Senate bears a special responsibility to prevent that from occurring. The primary focus of these hearings and our subsequent debate and vote on the floor will be Judge Roberts and his qualifications. But another focus will be whether the Senate, in discharging the solemn "advise and consent" duty conferred by the Constitution, is faithful to the trust the Founders placed in us. That focus necessarily will shine with special intensity on this Committee, as millions of the fellow citizens we serve follow its proceedings in the coming days. Former Yale Law School Dean Eugene Rostow once described Supreme Court Justices as "inevitably teachers in a vital national seminar." When vacancies occur and Supreme Court nominees are presented for confirmation, members of the Senate - and particularly members of this Committee - become guest lecturers in that seminar, with all Americans in the classroom paying close attention. I believe that seminar's vital lesson should not and must not be "who wins" a given case, or how the nominee might "vote" on a given controversy of the moment. Rather, the timeless lesson that transcends any particular case and whatever controversy may swirl about it is how our courts resolve disputes, from the momentous to the mundane, in administering a fair, impartial system of justice that must stand outside the political passions and pressures of the day, and whose judges must put aside whatever personal views they may have on the issues presented. I believe this Committee taught that lesson well in 1993, when then-Chairman Biden, in foreshadowing the impending confirmation hearings on Judge Ginsburg, cautioned that she should not be questioned about "how she will decide any specific case that may come before her." The full Senate followed suit, confirming Judge Ginsburg by a vote of 96-3. This occurred even though many of the 96 undoubtedly disagreed with one or another aspect of her judicial philosophy, and had little doubt that her votes as a Supreme Court Justice might well differ from their own preferences. I have every confidence that Judge Roberts, in addition to the extraordinary intellectual, professional and personal qualities he will bring to the task of leading our Nation's highest court, will also bring a profound understanding of and commitment to the transcendent principles I have endeavored to summarize about the proper role of the judiciary in our constitutional system. I am confident as well that just as in Judge Ginsburg's 1993 confirmation proceedings, this Committee and the great majority of my Senate colleagues will demonstrate that same understanding and commitment as we consider the confirmation of Judge Roberts. I thank you, Mr. Chairman, and all members of the Committee for your courtesy in allowing me to introduce Judge John G. Roberts, Jr., a distinguished son of Indiana whom I believe will prove to be an outstanding Chief Justice of the United States. |

Showtime has picked up the rights to "Chew", a new series they'll be putting out based on the comic book of the same name. The show will follow a federal agent who has psychic abilities based on the food he eats. I have absolutely no idea how that works but the idea that the twenty piece McNuggets I just had could predict the lotto numbers is blowing my mind.
"The Taint", "All About Evil" and "Kidnapped" have all been selected for this year's Tromadance Film Fest that will take place from April 22-23 in Asbury Park, NJ. Bill Plympton will also be premiering some new shorts at the event and I assume there's going to be some dancing. Probably a lot of dancing actually. Giant big semi-overweight dancing... Entry is free!
In what might be the most disappointing there I've seen this year there is a new red band trailer for "Nude Nuns with Big Guns" on the tubes. I say disappointing because red band implies there's going to be awesomeness that you can't show in a regular trailer, but this contains none of that. Oh sure there's some blood and I may of even seen a nip but there nothing that lives up to the movie's name. I'm crying right now as I type this.
In response to the rumors surrounding the sequel to "Deadgirl" writer Trent Haaga has taken to his blog to set the record straight. Haaga states that the not only are the rumors that he wrote a script where a group of women find the body of a dead boy are completely false and goes on to say that if a sequel does happen he won't be involved. Truth be told I thought Haaga started these rumors so now I'm completely confused. If you can't trust a guy who writes a movie about necrophilia than who can you trust?
A 40 year old man in the UK has been arrested after he broke into a farm, covered himself in cow crap and then went to town on himself. And by that I mean he made love to himself. Although I can't imagine there was much love involved. The worst part? This isn't the first time he's been arrested for the cow doodie lovin.
Is it wrong that I find this kind of hot? Police in Pennsylvania found 50 bags of heroin and $51.22 in cash inside a 27 year old women after giving her a cavity search. The heroin is nuts but somewhat understandable, the 51$ bucks is weird but ok I get it... but 22 cents? What the hell?!
Mila Kunis joins Daron Aranofsky's "Black Swan", opposite Natalie Portman.
A new movie is in production based on the book "Kong: King of Skull Island", a prequel to "King Kong" that was released around the time of Peter Jackson's 2006 adaptation. Apparently it deals with how the giant became "king" of Skull Island (I guess that's self explanatory). Not sure how the story works with a bunch of apes and dinosaurs, but I'm sure there are some annoying humans in there somewhere.
Word coming out of Japan is that "The Host 2" has found some investors, although they're still trying to decide between multiple scripts that have been written.

If you're going to brutally attack your neighbor and cut off his head, at least have the courtesy to put it in the recycling bin when you're done. That's just common sense, folks.
This story is amazing. Apparently Charles Manson is stalking Phil Spectre in prison, trying to get him to produce his music. I'm literally speechless.
