Allison Randal just provides facts of dynamic languages. No value in the presentation.
Pedro Gonzalez
Allison Randal talks about what makes a dynamic language, but she fails to show why these features have an advantage over static languages. She should use clear examples where dynamic languages have an edge over static languages.

Mick Jagger will make his first appearance on the Grammy stage on Feb. 13 when he performs as part of the annual In Memoriam segment. Jagger agreed to do the show to honor one of his idols, R&B singer Solomon Burke, who died on Oct. 10. Jagger will perform with soul singer Raphael Saadiq and his band.
Jagger has appeared on the Grammys only once before, and that was via satellite from London, in 1986, when the Rolling Stones were presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Jagger's appearance this year may not mean as much in ratings pull as that of, say, Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga, but it's a coup in terms of the Grammys' credibility. To understand why, you need to know a little history. The Grammys were resolutely anti-rock in the '60s and '70s, when the Stones were at their peak. The Stones weren't even nominated for a Grammy until 1978, when Some Girls was a finalist for Album of the Year. The band didn't win a Grammy until 1994, when Voodoo Lounge was voted Best Rock Album and "Love Is Strong," a track from the album, took Best Music Video, Short Form. That history may explain why the band declined to attend the Grammys to pick up its Lifetime Achievement Award. The Grammys had to come to them. The band also insisted that the Grammys air a lengthy segment of the video for their then-brand new single "Harlem Shuffle." And the band was irreverent in accepting the award (from presenter Eric Clapton). "I'd like to say thank you to all the people that have stuck by this band through thick and thin. And to all the people that took the piss, the joke's on you," Jagger said.Since then, the Grammys have largely shed the anti-rock sensibility that long undermined their credibility. U2 has won twice for Album of the Year. Since 1990, Eric Clapton, Alanis Morissette, Bob Dylan and Santana have also taken the prize.
Burke, who was 70 when he died, was among the top R&B singers of the 1960s. His top hits include "Got To Get You Off My Mind," "If You Need Me," "Tonight's The Night" and "Cry To Me." Burke was voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. He won his only Grammy in 2002, when Don't Give Up On Me was voted Best Contemporary Blues Album.The Stones have recorded several of Burke's songs. The band included "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" on The Rolling Stones, Now! in 1965. They featured "Cry To Me" on Out Of Our Heads later that same year.
Other artists who will be performing on the Grammys for the first time include Muse, who are the front-runners to win for Best Rock Album; Arcade Fire, who are the front-runners to win for Best Alternative Music Album; Miranda Lambert, who is in a tight race with Lady Antebellum for Best Country Album; and Janelle Monae, who is a tight race with Usher for Best Contemporary R&B Album. (Monae will be performing in a joint appearance with fellow first-timers B.o.B and Bruno Mars.)
Other performers on the show include Eminem, Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, as well as these pairings: Drake and Rihanna; Justin Bieber and Usher with Jaden Smith; and Cee Lo Green with Gwyneth Paltrow and the Jim Henson Company Puppets.
Presenters (who presumably weren't offered coveted performance slots) include past Grammy queen Norah Jones, the red-hot Nicki Minaj, teen star Selena Gomez, rapper (and two-time host of the annual Grammy nominations special) LL Cool J, and country stars Blake Shelton and Dierks Bentley. There is precedent in awards show lore for Jagger's long-awaited appearance on behalf of someone he admired. In 1974, Katharine Hepburn made her first (and, as it turned out, only) appearance at the Academy Awards to present the Irving Thalberg Award to producer Lawrence Weingarten. Hepburn's appearance was a surprise, and she was greeted with a standing ovation. She told the crowd, "I am also very happy that I didn't hear anyone call out, 'It's about time.' I am the living proof that a person can wait 41 years to be unselfish." The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 13 from Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Recording Academy is trumpeting the fact that all five nominees for Album of the Year (Arcade Fire, Eminem, Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry) will perform on the show.Crystal Ball: My Grammy predictions are up for The Big Categories (here's a link), as well as all the categories in the pop, rock, R&B, rap and country fields. I hope I help you win your office Grammy pool.

INAPPRO!: Little Girl Finds Vulgar Candy Heart
Better than 'niece tits', just sayin'.
I mean, it's not really vulgar to you or I, but you and I aren't twelve. You just act that way. Hoho, BURN! -- *circle-circle-dot-dotting nips* -- NO BURN-BACKS! Anyway, a 12-year old California girl got a 'NICE TITS!' heart in a bag of Brach's brand Conversation Hearts candy (THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT BUYING NECCO BRAND SWEETHEARTS!). She found it particularly offensive because she thought they were making fun of her for not starting puberty yet. That's pretty low, Mr. Wonka.
"I thought it was kinda shocking," said Ciara Bush, "I was reading them and I brought it to my mom after I saw it."
Her parents were stunned at what they saw."Nice Tits," said Derrick Deanda, reading the message printed on the small piece of candy that referred to a woman's chest.
He e-mailed the candy maker and said he got a quick response. A phone call came the next day asking him to mail the candy and the entire bag back to the company so they could investigate.
While he was shocked, Deanda said he doesn't have any plans to sue. He just wanted to warn other parents.
Whoa whoa whoa -- how's a 12-year old even know what tits are?! I didn't find out what a tit was until college and then only because my freshman roommate had a pair and I used to Photoshop pictures of women's heads onto his body and send them around the dorm trying to get people to say they were hot. I think a couple guys even masturbated to them!! *whistling*
Girl Finds Adult Message On Candy [kcra]
Thanks to Blaqk Panda, who once opened a bag of all broken hearts. OMG THOSE POOR SUGAR-PEOPLE! And to lil co., who once opened a bag of all "NICEST TITS" hearts. I believe it!

He dumped no trash-talk on the Patriots' beleaguered secondary during his conference call with the New England media on Wednesday, rather Jets coach Rex Ryan leapt to its defense.
"I know New England, every year they get criticized for their pass defense, what they rank, and all that," said Ryan. "But it's not about that. The Patriots play complementary football, where obviously you have the number-one offense in all of football — scoring offense, total offense, everything-else offense. So what you do is try to win the turnover battles. This team's record when they win the turnover battles is phenomenal (101-10 overall under Bill Belichick, but only 3-2 this season.)."
Despite the Patriots' 28th-ranked pass defense, which includes having allowed 30 completions of more than 20 yards (five over 40 yards), Ryan insists his 3-3 Jets will come to Foxboro intent on running the ball this coming Sunday. They ran for 252 yards while defeating the Colts, 35-9, this past Sunday, which included Shonn Greene's career-high 161 yards.
"We don't play offense the same way New England does. We don't have the same players," said Ryan. "We have excellent players, we're just built a little different."
Translation: At quarterback, the Jets have Mark Sanchez, with Tim Tebow lurking. And wide receiver Santonio Holmes three weeks ago went down for the season with a foot injury.
Rex Ryan being kind

Hot Stove: Ryan Madson To Sign With Cincinnati
Wednesday January 11th, 2012
Madson will look to build on his 2011 success as a closer. (Icon SMI)
The 31 year-old California native is coming off of one of his best big league seasons, in which he posted a 4-2 win-loss mark, a 2.37 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, and 32 saves (with just 2 blown) as the closer for the NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies. Madson also had 62 strikeouts in 60 2/3 innings. The 1998 ninth-round draft choice has spent his entire professional baseball career with the Phillies organization and, with the exception of a 17-start season in 2006, all but one of his big league appearances have been out of the bullpen.
Last season, Madson filled in admirably for oft-injured Philadelphia closer Brad Lidge and, despite losing some time to his own injuries in June and July, emerged as a legitimate end-game arm after years of effective setup duty but less success as a fill-in closer. Madson's services with Philadelphia were no longer needed after the club signed former Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon back in November. The Papelbon signing came just days after the club failed to reach an agreement on a long-term deal with Madson, and that deal all but signaled the end of his time with Philadelphia.
The Reds will look to Madson as a replacement for free agent closer Francisco Cordero, who spent four seasons as the team's stopper and was a two-time all-star during his stint there. Ryan will join what could be a strong 2012 Cincinnati bullpen that includes Sean Marshall, Jose Arredondo, Nick Masset, and youngster Andrew Brackman. Assuming Madson is given the closer role, lefthanded fireballer Aroldis Chapman would almost certainly be moved the pitching rotation, which is what he was originally slated to do upon joining the club two seasons ago.
From a fantasy baseball perspective, Madson should retain much of the value he built throughout his dominant 2011 campaign and could be considered one of the best closer options entering the 2012 season. Some owners may be hesitant to trust him on the strength of just one season as a ninth inning stopper, but he has posted very good reliever numbers since 2007, including a 2.89 ERA a 1.19 WHIP, and an 8.6 strikeouts-per-nine-innings rate. He could benefit greatly from an improved Reds roster and has the potential for a sub-3.00 ERA and 40-plus saves over a full season, with solid but not dominant strikeout numbers. Assuming he stays healthy and his teammates play to their potential, 2012 could be a very big year for Madson.

Now more than ever, marketing and customer service are feeling the pressure to come together to improve engagement on social media. And it's customers who are at the heart of what can either be a forged or forced relationship depending on the brand – but at the end of the day, brands will depend upon these two teams working more closely together. Consider these statistics:
- 71% of consumers who experience a quick and effective brand response on social media are likely to recommend that brand to others, compared to just 19% of customers who do not receive a response. ~ NM Incite
- When companies engage and respond to customer service requests over social media, those customers end up spending 20% to 40% more with the company. ~ Bain & Company
- Companies delivering customer support through social media achieve superior gains – 7.5% vs. 2.9%. ~ Aberdeen
- The average number of people a social customer will tell about a bad customer experience: 53. ~ American Express® Global Customer Service Barometer
Notes Gartner Distinguished Analyst Michael Maoz in a recent blog, "Marketing has done a good job of seeing the power of social media, and ran fast to seize the initiative and engage customers in new ways.
"And now something else is happening. As marketing engages more deeply with customers, you move beyond the 'dating phase' and sort of settle into a relationship. Who picks up the laundry, and did you take the dog to the vet? Read More

Wonderful Sweet Potatoes
Comment on this recipe
I usually double this recipe. This allows me to make really "over-stuffed potatoes." If there is any extra, I just put it in a small casserole and freeze it for another meal.
6 large sweet potatoes l teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup butter 2 beaten eggs 3/4 cup brown sugar TOPPING: l cup coconut l cup brown sugar l cup chopped pecans 1/2 cup butter
Bake sweet potatoes and cool; cut in half horizontally. Carefully scoop the insides into a bowl and mix in vanilla, 1/4 cup butter, eggs and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Stuff potato skins with mixture; cover and chill for several hours.
In a large bowl, mix coconut, 1 cup brown sugar, pecans and 1/2 cup butter. Press sweet potatoes upside-down into the topping, pressing them down to make it stick. At this point the potatoes may be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for a couple of weeks.
On serving day, thaw the potatoes and bake them at 375 degrees F. for 20-30 minutes. Serves 6.

Securing VoIP networks
The Network
Experts agree that one important step in the quest for VoIP security is to separate the VoIP network from the ordinary LAN traffic. The complex and relative insecure nature of computer networks adds many opportunities for eavesdropping and other forms of attack, and seasoned admins are well aware that physical access is more or less identical to a hacked system.
To isolate the VoIP network, use physical separation or even a virtual LAN (VLAN) configuration. Of course, separating VoIP traffic will not protect you against physical access by an attacker who connects to a free port of the voice network. (If a port is accessible, the attacker can simply hitch up a laptop and spoof a phone's MAC address.) The best way to combat this kind of local intrusion is to use additional 802.1x [15] [16] authentication against the switch.
To ensure secure VoIP communications with the enterprise system for road warriors, it makes sense to route the connection via a VPN tunnel. This setup should support low-bandwidth codecs, such as GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) [17]. As an alternative, you might prefer to use SRTP and SIPS--S/MIME, if clients and servers support this option, because of the lower protocol overhead.
Figure 5 shows a combination of the techniques discussed in this article in which the VoIP infrastructure is isolated from the remaining system. The link between the sub-branch and head office uses one or multiple VPN tunnels. (When forecasting the bandwidth, it is important to take the VPN protocol overhead into consideration.) The PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) connection can be handled separately at each branch or routed via the head office. A failover link for each branch is a good idea. This keeps your branch offices reachable, even if the IP connection fails or is overloaded.
If you are thinking about adding a voice component to your network presence, it makes sense to plan your approach to VoIP security before you begin. The hardware and software tools of the VoIP environment provide a number of interesting security options. First determine which protocols and components you need for your VoIP network, then shop for tools that provide the necessary support. Table 1 shows the results of our research into the compatibility of phones and VoIP appliances by various manufacturers.
If you already have a VoIP network, simple techniques such as VLAN isolation and strategic use of available encryption alternatives will help you build a better and more secure environment for VoIP communications.

Window Light; Classic Illumination, Proper Exposure
When I refer to window light, I am talking about the soft lighting that comes in through a window when it faces north or when the sky is overcast. This is one of the most attractive types of light photographers use, and it has been a source of inspiration for traditional artists over the centuries when they painted portraits of people, still life images, and the interiors of magnificent works of architecture. Diffused Light
Exposure Issues
In order to get sharp pictures you have to:
Raising the ISO and opening up the lens to let in more light are both designed to prevent the shutter speed from becoming too slow. Even if you are using a tripod, a long exposure can be problematic simply because a person can't remain perfectly still. During a 1⁄8th sec exposure, for example, there could be just enough movement to make the image less than perfectly sharp. The only time I will risk this is if the subject is either seated or leaning against something solid. The Javanese Bride in photo (#4) was taken with a shutter speed of 1⁄15th of a second, and I asked her to hold her breath as I used a cable release to take the shot. The lighting was coming from a skylight in the ceiling.
Using a tripod is the best approach to doing portraiture by window light. If your shutter speeds must be slow, it will give you the best chance for sharp pictures. If you have sufficient light, a tripod enables you to use small lens apertures for increased depth of field and at the same time you can hold the ISO down to a reasonable number.

Awesome, way to go.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed reading about your experience very much.
Now that you know where you really are, I guess it's time to set a new goal and get back to work.
"Address the process rather than the outcome. Then, the outcome becomes more likely." - Robert Fripp
What a great story! Congratulations!
I run with a Garmin, and I plan my races (not that I run a lot of them), but I make myself ignore the thing until I hit the mile markers. It's good to have a general idea of your pace, but as someone said you don't want to become a slave to it, especially during a race.

Volksoper Wien
Blaubarts Geheimnis
by Stephan Thoss (November 2013)
The notorious figure of the wife-murdering knight Bluebeard stands at the centre of the ballet by Stephan Thoss. Using music by Henryk Górecki and Philip Glass, the choreographer explores different motifs in the fairy tale and discovers hidden secrets of Bluebeard the man. The story of Judith and Bluebeard is preceded in the first part of the evening by scenes depicting different aspects of the relationship between men and women.
Ein Sommernachtstraum (Ballett)
by Jorma Elo (January 2014)
The multi-layered levels of action in William Shakespeares comedy correspond to the many-faceted stylistic interpretation by the internationally famed choreographer Jorma Elo. Decisive factors for Elos approach to this work were its timelessness and the congenial music written for the play by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The ballet, which had its world premiere in 2010 at the Vienna State Opera, won the famous Prix Benois de la Danse award.
Ein Reigen
(April 2014)
Against the backdrop of Arthur Schnitzlers drama "La Ronde", the creators of this ballet (choreographer Ashley Page and designer Antony McDonald) evoke the almost explosive creativity which characterised Vienna in the years between 1900 and 1914. Based on real personalities, this ballet brings both the light and the dark sides of this period to the stage, portraying individual characters and shedding light on the relationships between them. Compositions which arose from this extraordinarily ric h artistic period provide the musical basis for the ballet.

I'm 15, and I take my guitar around school, but decided I needed something cheaper to do so with in case my '50s Silvertone archtop was damaged there. I saw this, had enough and decided to buy it. Boy, what a surprise. The sound is surprisingly full and round, and smoother than I had expected. The neck is wide but comfortable, but the fret work and fretboard itself is undeniably cheap-they painted over some of the frets on mine whilst painting the fretboard. It's not a huge deal to me, but it is an eyesore. And the body feels and looks nice at first, but a closer look reveals underlying finish cracks and finish spots. Also, the bridge on mine is lifting up. It hasn't become a huge deal yet, but once again, it worries me. All in all, there's an equal amount of pros and cons, but for me and the purpose I intended it for, I don't think I could have picked anything better. Flaws are obvious, but the sound and feel make up for that.

I would only recommend these guitars for the most stringent budget based purchases, and hope that somehow you land a nice guitar through the mail. Of the most recent 5 Lyons guitars we bought 2 of the 5 would be considered 'generally workable'.
I own & manage a large group of teaching studios. We have multiple Lyons guitars in use in the studios, You cannot place expectations and demands on a guitar in this price, because it would be unreasonable. On the positive side, the build quality in the last 5-10 years for guitars originating from China/Indonesia/Thailand etc has improved.
Lyons guitars have a very very broad range of quality control. Some guitars stay in tune and play not too badly. Other Lyons guitars like the most recent batch that arrived have very poor workmanship, with very poor intonation. The guitar face has knots in the wood, and airbrush finishing has been completely missed on certain areas of the guitar. Dried glue residue is common place around the guitar neck joint, body and headstock.
Again, it's tantamount to realize this is an inexpensive starter guitar. No problems, and no points deducted. But when a starter guitar fails to start in the first place, you really are handicapping your chances of success in playing guitar with an instrument that has substandard workmanship.

Comments about Lyons Classroom Guitar:
Take into account the positive reviews on this guitar are all written by beginners and others with low expectations. I was looking for a cheap nylon string guitar to supplement home acoustic recordings. This guitar looks terrible on close inspection and plays worse. The 2nd string tuning peg on mine is not straight and the string will not stay in tune. None of the other strings will stay in tune for more than 10 minutes. The sound is absolutely flat and muted. You would get a richer tone scratching your pick on sandpaper. Unless you're looking for a first guitar for an elementary school age student, avoid this guitar. If so, purchase the 3/4 size.

Comments about Lyons Classroom Guitar:
I wasn't expecting a work of art considering the cost, and for the most part I'm satisfied. For the price, the fact that you get a "new" guitar that plays with relative quality is great. That being said, I do have a few qualms.
The action is very, very high, making it darn near impossible for some chords; this will require adjusting.
The width of the neck only adds to this issue. The Dunlop Trigger Flat Guitar Capo I also purchased has issues pressing the end string and requires me to pull it in a bit to get a firm hold. This alters the sound of the string only slightly.
The caps that cover what I assume are screws holding the bridge in place are not the same color, though are at least both an off-white color.
There are noticeable scuffs/ scratches on both back, top corners. I received the guitar in this condition.
The guitar requires tuning before each play and sometimes during.
All-in-all, I'm satisfied with my purchase. I feel the sound is satisfactory for learning and the issue of action can be corrected by me. If the cost of the guitar wasn't so low, I would definitely return it for another of the same type, but honestly, it isn't worth the trouble.
I purchased this guitar because I wanted to dedicate serious time to the art and was low on funds. I do plan on upgrading in a few months, at which point this guitar will be my knock around.

Comments about Lyons Classroom Guitar:
both guitars tuned nicely... intonation great for the type of guitar. i was very surprised ! and pleased! will definetly buy these guitars regularly for students first guitars. and thats alot for me to say ! but but but.... the G string on both guitars i ordered do not resonated well, sort of dead.... they need to be raised up a bit away from the neck. luckily when you are playing chords it's not noticeable ... one guitar arrived with tarnished strings as well...
but PS. if you're looking to save money and have a good sound...its worth it.

Comments about Lyons Classroom Guitar:
As a guitar instructor, I am always looking for the most inexpensive and at the same time, playable entry guitars. I have looked at several such beginner guitars, but I won't look any further. I will purchase this one for my students in the future. As a bonus, the carry bag was included. Get them while they last.

Comments about Lyons Classroom Guitar:
This is the best buy in a student classical guitar, they are inexpensive and are worth the money for parents to get their children into a private lesson with the least expense. Most come with a simple carry slip cover. Only designed for transport not protection.
Great for setting up classroom guitar classes on a very limited budget. I recommend to use the strings supplied and change them after every 30 to 60 hours of use if tone is an issue other wise I keep purchasing them because the action of the strings are always low enough for younger students they come in 1/2 size 3/4 and 4/4 this meets the requirements for any age student. I have been teaching classical guitar for 40 years.
Best Uses
Comments about Lyons Classroom Guitar:
Trying to rebuild my collection after having been ransacked and this was the best buy yet. great guitar for the price. No truss rod so intonation adjustments are out, but a well cared for guitar will have no problem staying true. Highly suggest for beginners, students, or anyone looking to get a good classical for a good price.

Comments about Lyons Classroom Guitar:
I bought 18 of these guitars for my elementary music classroom with a grant. Musician's Friend was incredibly helpful with my order. It came in quickly and I had no problem with the packaging. The guitars are very lightweight which is great for my elementary students. The strings were easy to break-in and hold their tuning pretty well now. The tuning knobs are a little difficult to turn, but this has been the only issue I have had with the guitars. I am very pleasantly surprised at the quality of guitars I was able to get for this amazing price!
Best Uses
Comments about Lyons Classroom Guitar:
I bought this guitar for practice. I found out that it has great sound.
Of course the craftsmanship is a little off but it's a cheap guitar. For the price the guitar is very good. Nylon strings tend to stretch so it will take a while to tune.
I recommend this for beginners, or people that need a practice guitar.

The anonymous phone calls warned that a man's body would be found in a ditch along West Possum Road.
It took Clark County sheriff's deputies four hours to find that body, which was in a field far from the road, and wasn't that of a man, but of a 12-year-old boy: Marvin Lee King, known as Beau. Forty years later, his slaying remains unsolved.
"There are things that haunt you," Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly said on Jan. 25, the 40th anniversary of the day investigators assume Beau died. "This was a child that was left out there and no child deserves to die like that."
The sheriff's office continues to investigate the case, and has recently turned over evidence to the Ohio Bureau of Investigation for forensic testing, Lt. Christopher Clark said.
Beau lived in the Rose Garden Mobile Home Park, off Upper Valley Pike, north of the Upper Valley Mall. An only child, he lived with his mother, Monica. His father lived in Florida, according to news reports at the time.
On Jan. 25, 1973, his mother was working at a local bar, the Bonfire, she told the Springfield Daily News in 1977. Beau called her that evening and she told him she was busy and would call him back. But when she tried, she got no answer. She sent a friend to check on him, but the friend found the trailer door ajar – and no sign of Beau. He had been baking cookies in the kitchen.
Monica left work early and had a friend drive her home. After she spoke to several neighbors, she said, she reported the boy missing. It was about 11:30 p.m.
There were no signs of a struggle, Clark said, and detectives learned that Beau had spoken with some neighbors that night and "everything seemed to be fine."
A neighbor reported seeing Beau get into a dark-colored car, "possibly a 1965 Chevrolet or Pontiac" the Springfield Daily News reported in 1973.
The following day, the anonymous calls started, some of them to a local church.
The last call was to sheriff's dispatch at 9:45 p.m., according to news reports.
Deputies found Beau's body just after 10 p.m. Jan. 26. He was fully clothed, except for a coat, and had been dead for 12 to 16 hours. The sheriff's office later said the boy had been strangled with a nylon clothesline.
Detectives had at least one suspect almost immediately. Then-Sheriff Harold M. Mills told reporters that a "material witness," a 35-year-old Springfield man, was being interrogated at the county jail. A second "material witness" was to be taken in for a polygraph test.
But no one was ever charged in connection with Beau's death.
Clark said detectives are still interested in some of the possible suspects identified at the time of Beau's death.
"It's not like we don't have anything to go on," he said.
Detectives lost contact decades ago with Monica King, a native of England, Clark said, and aren't in contact with any family members.
In 1977, his mother described Beau as an outgoing, friendly boy, possibly too trusting, who didn't understand death. On Beau's last day alive, his pet hamster died, and his mother had to talk with him about death, a conversation that she said haunted her.
Beau's death also haunted his classmates at Simon Kenton Elementary School, which he attended before moving to Northwestern Local Schools. Two former Simon Kenton classmates, Nikki Rice, who now lives in Sarasota County, Fla., and Leslie Freed, of Marin County, Calif., said their friends still talk about Beau when they get together.
When told of the boy's murder, Freed said, "I'm not sure I even knew what it meant."
"He was a thin kid, freckles with blond hair," Freed said. "He looked like Alfalfa from 'The Little Rascals' but with blond hair. He always had a smile on his face, and was one of the nicest kids I knew in school and still to this day."
Freed said she had a crush on Beau and that "when I refer to people who have boyfriends, I refer to them as Beaus. To me that keeps his memory alive."
Anyone with information about the abduction and death of Beau King should call Clark County Sheriff's dispatch at 937-328-2560.

Hi Sha, no offense to you or Kim intended by my comments. I appreciate your efforts organizing the DataVis group, and Kim's generous contribution to it last night. Parts of it didn't sit well with me (obviously), but I'm OK with that - I hope you are, too. Thanks!
hmmm... i don't know how this 'greetings' business works. I've already exceeding my max number of characters which suggests to me that I am talking to much for meetuppers? But, it was great hearing about what you've been doing, and especially great for me to see (online) what you've done! transitioning yourself from architectural academia to a contributing member of our GDP. So thank you Sha!
Hi Sha,
I speak only in Comic Sans. i jest (remember google's prank?) haha that was great when you said that. It has a lot of strong connotations. I just graduated from UCLA's undergraduate Architectural Studies Program with a minor in Geography/Environmental Studies. Just moved back to the Bay Area a month ago so I've been sitting in on Lectures and finding things to keep me busy! I saw Sanford Kwinter a few weeks ago.... and Sylvia Lavin (my homegirl) is coming to UCBerkeley in a week.

YOUR WASHINGTON AND YOU Weekly News Letter from Office of Karl Mundt. (Single spaced to conserve paper for the War effort) For release - July 23 THE STORY OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER Because of the importance of rubber in the everyday lives of us all, because of its great significance in our military program, and because of the impact which the new synthetic rubber industry in America may have upon our after- the-war economy, this week's issue of "Your Washington and You" will be devoted to the story of synthetic rubber. Even so, it is impossible to tell more than a small part of this story in a single news letter. For the past several months, your Congressman has been devoting on an average of several hours a day to activities dealing with the synthetic rubber program: studying the various available processes, attending hearings of the Gillette Committee, inspecting actual synthetic rubber plants, conferring with government officials and private scientists on the entire program. Last week I was privileged to sit in at secret executive hearings at which War Production Board Officials "let their hair down" and gave complete off-the-record reports to Senator Gillette of Iowa, Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, and your Congressman on the exact status of the new rubber program in America. Much of the testimony was kept from the press under military secrecy orders but enough was made available to the public to give a fairly clear picture of the situation. RUBBER FROM FARM PRODUCTS IS PRACTICAL Several conclusions now seem to be generally accepted: (1) Satisfactory rubber can be made from butadiene (pronounced Beauta - die - een with the accent on "die") produced from commercial alcohol distilled from farm products (2) Tires made from such rubber wear well and would cost from 52c to $1.00 more than ordinary tires (3) rubber made from farm products can be made in less time and with fewer critical materials than rubber produced from petroleum or coal (4) Rubber is not a luxury in America - it is a necessity for military activities, for transportation, and for farming operations (5) America has already lost many valuable months since Pearl Harbor - and before - in meeting this problem both through failure to accumulate adequate stock-piles of raw rubber and to recognize the ease with which farm products can be converted into Buna-s rubber via the butadiene process (6) A single Authority responsible for the rubber program in America is needed to end confusion, delay and the following of false trails in solving the rubber problem (H.R. 7253, introduced on June 18 by Congressman Mundt provides such a centralization of authority and authorizes the expansion of the rubber- from-farm products program) (7) The Administration "at long last" has allocated production of 200,000 tons of rubber from butadiene produced from alcohol distilled from farm products, but 600,000 tons have been allocated to the slower and more critical material consuming petroleum processes (8) As yet, none of the alcohol-rubber plants have been located in the great farming area of the Middle West. WE SAW RUBBER PRODUCED FROM CORN Last week, your Congressman was selected as one of a Committee of eleven Senators and Representatives to visit the Publicker Alcohol Plant in Philadelphia where we saw huge freight cars of shelled corn being unloaded , ground into mash, distilled into alcohol, converted into butadiene, and finally saw the actual rubber produced from butadiene. The Committee, headed by Senator Gillette of Iowa, returned to Washington determined to redouble its fight to secure more adequate recognition for farm-produced rubber. The Publicker Plant uses the process discovered by Waclaw Szukiewicz, Polish scientist, who discussed his methods with the Committee and demonstrated their effectiveness by making rubber while they watched. One bushel of grain (corn or wheat) will make 2 1/2 gallons of alcohol and a gallon of alcohol will produce 2.2 pounds of rubber. The capacity of the Publicker Plant is 100,000 bushels of grain PER DAY but unless the WPB allocates certain critical materials to the Plant it can not make this alcohol into rubber in large-scale quantities. Donald Nelson, Head of WPB, told a Congressional Committee last week that "much of the critical materials for synthetic rubber had been located (for petroleum) before I came into the picture as head of the WPB (January 16, 1942)" and added, "if we had it to do over again undoubtedly a different distribution would have been made of these allocations". In all events, the current campaign to bring farm products into the picture in the rubber-producing program has finally started getting results as evidenced by the fact that 200,000 tons of rubber will now come from that source. And this rubber from the farm will become available for use MUCH EARLIER than the rubber to be derived from the petroleum processes. MIDDLE WEST GAS RATIONING NOT EXPECTED Upshot of pressure to utilize surplus farm products for rubber together with reports from rubber companies that they still have many millions of tires available, is that gasoline rationing in the middle west now seems less likely than for many months. It is not the purpose of this column to assess the blame for the delay and confusion which has caused all the furore about rubber. However, it is at least one situation not chargeable to Congress. As long ago as June 7, 1939 - 18 months before Pearl Harbor - Congress passed legislation authorizing the accumulation of vast stock piles of rubber and it has consistently urged supplementing this program by the time saving method of using farm products to make rubber. It is unfortunate that neither Congressional proposal received more Administration action.

I have not retired
I had very little time in the last weeks, because my girl-friend moves to Brasil on Sept, 16th. But I'll return ;-). Anyone in Munich for Octoberfest?
- Welcome back! -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 11:42, 4 September 2006 (EDT)
Welcome to Wikitravel. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub. -- Sapphire 07:45, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
I would also like to suggest if you have any images of Englischer Garten it would be appreciated if you could place that image in Munich/Schwabing. Also could you help place this list of discos on the Munich Main Page into the appopriate districts? Thanks! Sapphire 07:45, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
- Hello Sapphire! I have lots of pictures of Englischer Garten and other places in Munich and I will place them here as soon as I will find them ;-). And I will sort the discos and maybe add some comments... If You have "Munich" and the related articles on Your watchlist I would be very glad if You could have a look every time I change something and correct my mistakes. (Maybe a good way to improve my English :-))) ). --Flip666 08:03, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
- I'll keep an eye out, but it seems like you're doing a great job! Sapphire 08:39, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
Munich/Haidhausen is now an article. Please plunge forward. Sapphire 10:00, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
Bavarian this and that
Hi Flipp666! Greatt start with your contributions! I just wanted to maybe talk about the Bavarian food and Bavarian beer articles you've started or are starting. I really think they would be better of as part of the Bavaria guide rather than off on their own. If someone prints out the Bavaria guide to take on a trip, they'll miss out on all that great information! What do you think? Majnoona 15:43, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
- Hello Majnoona! Thanks for the compliments! I did not start Bavarian food (I personally do not think it is a useful article yet), I just added what was spontaneously on my mind. I started the Bavarian beer (for now, it should be "Munich Beer"), but only because I did not want to integrate it into the main article immediately (to have some sandbox). We should discuss this in the articles discussion page! --Flip666 16:42, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
- Just wanted to mention again that as an occasional visitor to Bavaria and an always big fan of food and beer, I appreciate your contributions and hope that the discussion doesn't put you off! Articles here are always a work-in-progress, so don't worry about getting started within guides, if that's your main reason for starting seperate articles. Majnoona 12:28, 8 April 2006 (EDT)
- Thank You, I just thought about it and maybe I am a bit too much in drinking beer because it is weekend and I am going to have some bottles of Augustiner in maybe an hour ;-). I'll continue the article on beer but maybe I should concentrate on more important things I can contribute to the Munich and Bavaria articles... --Flip666 12:34, 8 April 2006 (EDT)
external links
Hi Sapphire!
You are reformatting all the external links!? Is there a policy how they should look like? Can't find it... --Flip666 20:43, 9 April 2006 (EDT)
- Yeah the policy can be found here Wikitravel:External_links. I forgot the name of section to look under, but the reason we try not to use links like this [[http://www.cnn.com|CNN]] is because when it is written like this the link shows up first and it is harder for some to understand what they are looking at (I believe this is for the users of PDA and printed versions). Instead, we use '''CNN''' [http://www.cnn.com], because it allows users to know the link is for CNN and then it shows the link if they decide to use it. That latter link is generally easier for people to use and more in style with Wikitravel style. Sapphire 20:52, 9 April 2006 (EDT)
Hi! I notice something about 10 minutes ago and I wanted to ask you to address this before anyone else notices it and deletes your images. Can you release all of the images you uploaded under CC-by-SA? That way with no one has to worry about the legal mumbo jumbo and we can use your images. Thanks! copyleft. Sapphire 23:16, 12 April 2006 (EDT)
- Hello! I was a bit confused because I thought I had to do this, but I looked at some other photos (e.g. the top photo on the Munich article) and did not see anything like that. Could you have a look at photos of the Bangkok article if that's ok? Thanks! --Flip666 15:05, 13 April 2006 (EDT)
- Looks great, however, you still need to release the following images under CC-BY-SA or both CC-BY-SA and GFDL, or another option is public domain. I'd recommend the second option. The first image is Image:OlympiabergFlip666.jpg and the second is Image:Poipet2SiamReap_Flip666.jpg
- Ok, thanks! --Flip666 08:22, 16 April 2006 (EDT)
Bavarian beer
Grüezi Philipp! Andrew aka Sapphire put the Bavarian beer section up for deletion because you didn't started to add much more new stuff. I think it's a great topic to expand but are you still interested to do it? They other option would be to bring in the Bavarian cuisine section. Please let us now what you would like to do? Jan 08:06, 6 June 2006
Madam Cabaret
Just to let you know, but we've decided to allow strip clubs into our guides. Please see Wikitravel:Sex tourism policy.
On a side note, could you translate Wikitravel:Recent changes patrol to German for me? I need to explain the feature on DE on this page: de:Wikitravel:Überwachung der letzten Änderungen, but I can't recall how to construct some words, especially, verbs in the past tense. Thanks. -- Andrew H. (Sapphire) 15:12, 18 December 2006 (EST)
- Sorry, didn't noticed that. But my problem is another, see Talk:Munich/City_Center#Madam_Cabaret.
- I'll do the translation just now, no problem (I hope)! --Flip666 15:20, 18 December 2006 (EST)
- I'm not going to revert your edit, but if they reinsert the listing it may be best for you to give a better description of the place. -- Andrew H. (Sapphire) 15:32, 18 December 2006 (EST)
- I do not know the place so I cannot give a better description. --Flip666 15:46, 18 December 2006 (EST)
Hey, happy birthday! I'm a couple weeks behind you, how does it feel? ::: Cacahuate 21:20, 8 February 2007 (EST)
- Well, it feels just the same as a headache!? I felt not to good after my first night in the 30ies... But maybe I should blame the Bavarian beer for it and not my age ;-). --Flip666 18:28, 11 February 2007 (EST)
Hi, thank you for your message. Well, from my experience this time, I think that Sana'a and its suburb right now are quite safe. During my visit this time, I saw lots of western travelers (tour travelers, back packers etc.) everywhere in Sana'a. You can walk around the main street of Old City even in the night (as you can see on the pictures I took). The places where I visited this time are only Sanaa and Wadi Dahar (a small town located in the suburb of Sana'a, and is famous for "Rock Palace"), so the safety information I can give you is very much limited, I am afraid. If you plan to go to other places, please look into other sources. Have a nice trip! --Shoestring 06:05, 24 February 2007 (EST)
- Hi, ok, thanks! I am not yet in the planning phase, but very interested. --Flip666 writeme! • 08:37, 25 February 2007 (EST) PS: And thanks for doing all the cleaning up after my uploads on shared: ;-).
USA Map
How is this? It is from World66 and should be fully usable under CC-by-SA 1.0. Hope this helps, and if you need anything else let me know! --Peterfitzgerald Talk 00:48, 1 April 2007 (EDT)
Hey Flip, I just came across this nice Public Domain equirectangular projection map and thought it might be of use. --Peterfitzgerald Talk 15:47, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
- Cool, thanks! Ugly colors, but as it is PD I can change this without problems! --Flip666 writeme! • 03:53, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
South Tyrol
Hallo! Regeln sind Regeln und so verstehe ich dass du das Template:quickbar im Artikel über Südtirol gelöscht hast, ich denke aber, dass Regeln für alle gültig sein müssen: z.B. sind auch Schottland, Wales und Nordirland keine unabhängigen Länder. Deine Handlungsweise könnte als gegen Südtirol interpretiert werden. Außerdem ist das Bild Image:Trentino-Alto Adige-Posizione.png nicht für Südtirol gültig, da es auch das Trentino enthält: Für Trentino-Südtirol schon, aber für Südtirol nicht. Ich habe dann einen Vorschlag: Wäre es möglich ein Quickbar-Template für Regionen schaffen? Ich meine, mit anderen Farben, anderen Infos, der regionalen Fahne, der Lage der Region im Staat, usw. Tschüß. Strudl 10:50, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
- Hello!
- We should talk in English here so other people can follow the discussion. Yes, you are right, if we delete the quickbar from South Tyrol we should remove it on the other articles, too. But maybe my removal was a bit overhasty because I personally think quickbars are a good thing, even in articles. What bothers me is the location map, because it looks like the one from an independent country. Maybe we should just remove this map. --Flip666 writeme! • 11:10, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
Thank you. For the map I have an idea: I prepaired a map which is the same of Image:LocationItaly.png modified with a red point on South Tyrol - everyone can understand where South Tyrol is in Italy and Europe. If you think it's OK I can upload it. Bye. Strudl 11:39, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
P.S.: the name would be LocationSouthTyrolInItaly or something like that.
- That sounds perfect to me! Thanks.
- Something else: You know the German language version of Wikitravel? The article on de:Südtirol is still very poor. We could use every help... --Flip666 writeme! • 12:40, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
Hi! I'll see to do something on the German article:) But actually I've two problems: 1. I've problems in order to substitute the image on shared - 2. the isIN template South Tyrol on Bolzano article doesn't work anymore... Do you know what I can do? Thanks. Bye. Strudl 18:36, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
Thank you for the help!

- Pleasure ;-). --Flip666 writeme! • 18:00, 12 July 2007 (EDT)
You fought brave on de
You earn greatest respect for your work on de, no bad feelings from our side. We hope you will find a new home in the wikiworld. Der Reisende
- Thanks and good look to WikiVoyage! I am strained to see if you manage to become an international project. Maybe someday we'll work together... --Flip666 writeme! • 18:00, 12 July 2007 (EDT)
- We already have been working together and we are still doing. Not for the same project, but for the same ideas. Flip, let me tell you that I always have appreceated your honest, straight foreward and very fair way of managing WT/de during the last months. Thanks for the nice words to Wikivoyage. If there is need to become international, we will. If other language versions feel fine with WT, we will remain a pure German project, but this would be OK for us, too. -- Hansm 18:45, 12 July 2007 (EDT)

We have just heard that the well known and respected director, Bryan Singer, has signed on to not only be an executive producer for NBC's "darker and stranger" reboot of The Munsters but also that he is to direct the pilot episode.
Bryan has such credits under his belt like X-Men, X2:X-Men United, The Usual Suspects, Superman Returns, Trick 'R' Treat and the upcoming Jack The Giant Killer.
No news on when the show is actually going to get into production but at least we have this bit of news to look forward too.

E-commerce: An Exhibitor Drain? Think you can get complacent with the trade show industry enjoying record growth? No way. Traditional sales, marketing, and service methods are rapidly morphing due to the Internet. Just one example: In the next five years, Procter & Gamble will shift 80 percent of its ad dollars to cyberspace.
So said Dr. Oren Harari, author of Leapfrogging the Competition, during his keynote address at the International Association for Exposition Management's December annual meeting, held in Nashville's Opryland Hotel. " You've got to lead the market, not respond to it," he told the packed audience.
As if to illustrate his point, a new virtual trade show product attracted a lot of attention at the conference. Developed by Third Millennium Communications, Inc. in Atlanta, the system's features include online registration, an e-mail distribution list, and an exhibitor directory. What is unique about expoexchange is its e-commerce capability, which allows exhibitors to sell directly through the show Web site.
Asked whether this ability would, in the long run, erode exhibitor participation at the live event, outgoing IAEM chairman Lawson Hockman, answered, "there is no doubt that business-to-business e-commerce is going to affect trade shows--not always in positive ways. But many people in the industry think it's better to make technology work for you rather than run away from it."
Another hot topic at the educational seminars was acquisition of shows and show management firms by equity investment companies--by all accounts a "seismic shift" in an industry dominated by entrepreneurs, associations, mom-and-pop organizations, and a few large companies like Reed and Miller Freeman. Leading the acquisition trend is Boston-based Advanstar Holdings, Inc., which, funded by an equity investment company, has made 22 purchases in just two years. Advanstar executives led two sessions on how show managers can grow their events with equity and venture capital.
The IAEM annual meeting drew 700 show managers and a total of 1,957 registrants.

Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Link to Class RubricClass Assessment: Students will use the Grade Book to track their grades throughout the course. Please allow time for submitted assignments to be posted. Generally speaking it will take 24 hours for a grade to be posted into the grade book. Early submissions will be graded but not viewable until the deadline for that assignment has passed. The Grading Rubric for assignments is posted in the Doc Sharing area of the course. a. Chapter Quizzes, Office Lab Assignments, Participation in class discussions, Mid-term and Final tests and Attendance will be taken into consideration for the course grade. (See Grading Scale below) b. The Textbook chapter concepts are evaluated each week by completing the online Multiple Choice and Fill in the Blank quizzes on the McGraw-Hill web site. The quiz results are graded online and should not be submitted until a 100% score is received. The directions at the end of each page should be followed to submit to the course for a grade. The quiz results should be saved and reviewed before the mid-term and final tests. c. The Windows Assignments Week 1 will be evaluated on development of a document submitted on time that displays the required elements as well as proper formatting, grammar, spelling, completeness and demonstrate the main ideas and concepts learned in this module. d. The Word Assignments Weeks 2, 3, and 4 will be evaluated on submitted documents received on time that demonstrate the application of concepts taught and exhibit correct formatting, spelling, creative thinking, and research skills if necessary. e. The Powerpoint Assignment Week 5 will be evaluated on submission by date due, the demonstration of skills taught, use of the tools on a beginning to intermediate level, and exhibiting creative use of media on the part of the student. Students are expected to participate in the peer review of the projects as part of the grade. f.

Week 7 and 8 summaries will be included as part of the Discussion grade for those weeks. l. Students will receive attendance grades using the Activity feature in the Gradebook. m. Students are expected to participate in all the Discussion threads at least 3 times or more a week. The threads will be helpful to answer any questions that will arise about lab or course work and gain knowledge of textbook concepts. Submission of Late Work: Late work is not the norm in this class. Any work submitted late will receive a 25% penalty for each week or part thereof. Proctored final examination/Project - This course requires a proctored final examination. See the information below:. A final proctored examination will be taken in a proctored testing environment during the 8th week at one of the Park University sites around the country or at an alternative location. For proctored examinations, photo identification is required at the time of the test. Guidelines for selecting an acceptable proctor can be found on the Park University Website. Other Information on proctored exams: It will be the responsibility of the student to arrange for a proctor, by the 6th week of the term, who is accepted and approved by the course instructor. Approval of proctors is the discretion of the Online instructor. A proctor request form will be made available to you during the first week of class so that you can send your requested proctor to your instructor for approval. Failure to take a final proctored exam (or submit your final project for some online graduate courses) will result in an automatic "F" grade.
Grading: Course Grading Scale A = 90-100% 900-1000 B = 80-89% 800-899 C = 70-79% 700-799 D = 60-69% 600-699 F = < 60% 599 and below
Late Submission of Course Materials: Submission of Late Work: Late work is not the norm in this class. Any work submitted late will receive a 30% penalty for each week or part thereof.
Classroom Rules of Conduct: Class Participation: It is extremely important to generate ideas and participate in class discussion. Students are required to participate in at least five out of every seven days. Participation includes adding new thoughts as well as commenting on fellow student responses. The understanding and application of concepts is best reinforced by communicating with others. I will be the observer/facilitator of this process and will be assessing your contributions to the topic-related discussions. From time to time, I will interject comments; but, for the most part, the discussions will be left to the class. I will also provide additional points to consider. Here is how I grade participation: Each Monday morning, I examine the Discussion Board for the previous week. You are expected to participate four days each week. I examine the quantity and quality of each student's contribution. If all your postings add significant value to the topics at hand, you will be graded as follows provided that your postings are spread out over four days: 8 or more postings -- 100% 6-7 postings -- 80% 4-5 postings -- 50% 2-3 postings -- 25% 0-1 posting -- 0%

Works great! Fast boot timesPros: Easy to install. Worked right out of the box. My OS boots up in about 20 seconds. The desktop loads quick. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Read up on installing an OS to a SSD drive before installing. It is NOT the same as a platter based HDD and you need to do some BIOS configs and post OS cinfig changes to get the most out of the drive. Windows 7 does a good job at recognizing MOST of the post install needs, but not all of them. Educate yourself and you'll never go back to an OS on HDD. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Nice SSDPros: Easy to install. I use this as a disc cache for my Western Digital 1.5T HD with Intels Rapid Storage Technology, works great, no problems. Cons: none 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good access speedPros: Access speed is phenomenal compared to a standard hard drive. No probs up to now (3 months of use) Cons: Like thousands before me said, SSD's are somewhat pricey. Other Thoughts: Using this small SSD to run my games, load times where cut in half vs a WD black HD. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
