The Tom Tom Founder's Festival is a music, arts, and innovation festival that takes place right in Charlottesville. It's one that organizers say will one day rival big-name national festivals like South by Southwest.
The four-day event starts on April 11. It takes place in various locations in downtown Charlottesville, and features talks, concerts, block parties, and more. The speakers and music lineup for this year's festival are being released Monday.
Of the 70 bands performing, organizers say one of the highlights is the Mexican folk band The David Wax Museum. The festival will feature 25 speakers, including University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan.
"This year we're actually bigger, if it's possible," said Festival Director Paul Beyer. "We're actually having a series of block parties all throughout the downtown mall. Everything is free. There's over 70 bands booked. It's a friends of friends festival, that was the theme, so everything is local, regional, or they've made it bigger, but they're from here and they have really strong connections."
Things are moving forward for the festival. On Tuesday the $500 mural contest will go before the Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review for official approval. The mural is from a Girl Scout troop working toward their community service badge.

Hey A-Roid, This is How an Apology Should Go
While everyone was digging through A-Roid's dumpster looking for used needles and Madonna's panties, Charles Barkley returned to TNT and issued a 10 minute apology for his DUI arrest last December.
In case you forgot the facts, Sir Charles had been drinking and partying with ex-Giant great Michael Strahan and Jaleel "Urkel" White in a Scottsdale, AZ club. (Which is itself a bizarre story.) Heading home drunk, Barkley spotted some chick on the street who had given him a blow job the night before. He told police he ran the red light because the hummer she gave him was "the best one he had ever had" and he wanted another. Completely understandable.
The thing about Charles is this: love him or hate him, he never holds anything back, and he never bullshits. He screws up (which is often), he tells you. Which you have to respect.
After watching A-Rod's farce of a press conference, where he stumbled and stuttered his way through a raft of crap so thick and convoluted it made me question his grasp on reality, it was good to see Barkley lay it bare.

Dee DeQuattro
He wanted to be a millionaire but unfortunately he is not going to be.
Matthew Dolan, a 24-year-old Virginia Tech grad student from North Kingstown Rhode Island appeared on ABC's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" on Wednesday morning but unfortunately Dolan answered a question incorrect in the first round and only walked away with $1,000.
Dolan appeared with his mother, Elizabeth Dolan, as his on air companion. He made it to the tenth question, the last question in the first round of the game, where he was asked:
Which of the following suffragettes was the only one alive when the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote in 1920?
A: Harriet Tubman B: Elizabeth Cady StantonC: Susan B. Anthony D: Jane Addams
Unfortunately for Dolan, he guessed 'C' but the answer was 'D'. Dolan could have walked away with $28,500 but because he answered in correctly he only won $1,000.
During the show host Meredith Vieira, a native Rhode Islander, gave props to the Ocean State when she said to Dolan, "I feel like we are related because we are both from Rhode Island."

Last year I got really, really ambitious and wrote picks for every single bowl game including the Beef O'Brady's Bowl, National Championship and grandaddy of them all, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Or is that the Rose Bowl? I forget.
At any rate, grinding out every game for last year's posts was tedious, to say the least. And after seeing the final regular season BCS standings before the bowl season even begins, I'm ready to pick every game right now.
Here's no surprise, especially to those down South: The SEC will win every single game it plays. Notre Dame will have their mud shoots literally stomped in by Bama, LSU will decapitate an opponent on a kick return, Florida will score a billion points while allowing negative thirty billion and A&M's Johnny Football will be christened as New Jesus.
And when I say the SEC will win, it's not just in the bowl season — I'm talking about all time, forever, in every game it plays. In the event that a SEC school takes a break from beating up on a glorified high school team the week before their final SEC game and schedules another SEC school, the little known NCAA "reverse academic rule" comes into effect whereby their higher ranking academic school, Vanderbilt, will be forced to lose the game by forfeit — not because they didn't field a team that Saturday, but because they'll be busy taking all of the final exams for SEC bottom feeder schools like Mississippi State and Ole Miss. Vandy, by default, will then be allowed to play in the "NCAA (cough cough, laugh laugh) Title Game" against whichever felons from Ohio State that aren't incarcerated in January, with the Commodores undoubtedly skipping their way into the end zone through rival conference's "top defenses" — whilst reciting sonnets from Shakespeare and Pandya theorem.
Given this inevitable outcome, the SEC is going to make such short work of next year's college football "schedules" that EA Sports will be forced to put the entire SEC on the cover of the 2015 NCAA Football game. Eventually the NCAA will be forced to do something unheard of in college sports: Split the SEC off into its own NFL D-League. In this new format, every player will be paid slightly more than they already pocket from team boosters while automatically being drafted from 1-253 into the NFL. Other NCAA players will be forced to play for the London Sillynannies in Europe, where Tom Brady will make his triumphant return (he did attend That [pussy] School Up North, after all) to England and lead the Sillynannies to a European Kittens and Girly Things Bowl championship. His team will be awarded matching pink lederhosen, pinky rings and castrations.
Eventually, with the second rate NFL players out of the way, every SEC player will dominate in the "New NFL" and break every record ever held throughout all time: a 50,000-yard rusher, 99-yard field goal records and team defenses that allow negative points will all force the NFL to burn the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio and move it to Buloxi, Mississippi. There, Southerners will take annual pilgrimages to pray at the feet New Jesus and curse at all of the Blue States for even messin' with their game.
Could the NCAA change their rules to stop
God Nick Saban from forcing players to enroll a semester late, only to redshirt them so they're closer to 23 years of age when they hit the field than 18 year old kids as "Freshmen"? Sure, but we don't live in a world where an unchecked governing body like the NCAA could put a stop to this… right?
You might be thinking "Well, isn't this whole scenario just a LITTLE overboard?" — and the answer is "YOU CAN'T SPELL '

The game of polo has been around for centuries. Some call it the sport of kings.
This weekend, a popular polo team from the UK will gallop into Scottsdale. They've played polo with Prince Charles, Prince Harry, and even Prince William. The Wales team is in town for the Ferrari-Maserati Polo Championships.
I got a polo lesson from the captain of the Wales polo team. And luckily I did not fall off the horse.
These polo players with royal ties are bringing the sport to us -- the commoners.

News: Kanye West Feels The Pressure, Makes Desperate "Yeezus" Changes
Friday, May 31, 2013 10:35AM
Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West is reportedly working non-stop to make a June 18th release date for his Yeezus solo album after receiving some mixed reactions to a few tracks.
According to reports, Mr. West's "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead" have not won everyone over and are forcing Ye to make some last-minute tweaks.
Kanye West's new album "Yeezus" is due out June 18, but he's still in the studio putting the final touches on the track list. Chatter among music insiders is the rapper's scrambling to add some consumer-friendly singles to the album. The aggressive tracks he performed on "SNL," including "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead" received mixed reviews. But an insider tells us that West's reworking so close to the release date is "not in any response to any negative reaction." He's also bringing in extra marketing muscle to push "Yeezus" including Amy Thomson, who managed Swedish House Mafia and is working with West as a consultant. (NY Post)
The news comes just days after Ye's "New Slaves" Baltimore, Maryland and Houston, Texas public projections were shut down.
Baltimore officials have canceled outdoor premieres of a new Kanye West video because organizers didn't seek permits from the city. Police say the events had been scheduled for 10 p.m. at three locations: the Bromo-Seltzer Arts Tower, the Walters Art Museum and the Baltimore Museum of Art. West has been projecting the video for his song "New Slaves" onto walls in public spaces in numerous cities. Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the events were canceled because they had the potential to attract large crowds and organizers had not sought permits. (CBS Local)
As of this week, Kanye's new album is not available for pre-order purchases.
This is interesting and very Kanye like. But according to A.P.C. clothing brand founder and Kanye West's friend Jean Touitou, his new album Yeezus is expected to skip pre orders completely and go straight for purchase, somewhat similar to the strategy they adopted with Watch the Throne. That also explains iTunes taking down the pre-order link which only went up for a day or so. (HHNM)
Buzz behind Ye's seemingly overnight decision to drop his album June 18th turned up a couple weeks ago.
Apparently, his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, is also part of his marketing team. She posted a photo on Instagram Saturday night showing the album artwork for Yeezus alongside a pair of the rapper's Air Yeezy sneakers, which he designed for Nike. "#Yeezus #RedYeezy's #SNL #Tonight #NewSlaves #YeezySeason #Donda #June18," she captioned the image. (USA Today)

Book Description:This casebook focuses on real-life field experiences about the unique problems and issues that student teachers face. These teaching cases, written by student teachers themselves about actual dilemmas they confronted during their internships, are an ideal mechanism to enable beginning teachers to learn how to analyze and to reflect on their own practice. The cases offer students the opportunity to construct their own understanding, to work at their own level, to have choices in the curriculum, and to be active participants in their own learning. The book supports a constructivist approach, but since the cases are open-ended, it can be used with a variety of approaches.

I'm technically moderately knowledgable but really new at this so please be gentle.
To put my questions in context, I'm asking about recent GSM capable phone models. If answering requires a specific model assume 6600, which appears to be a pretty generic J2ME platform. If someone wants to suggest something else please chime in.
Is there Nokia generic firmware for most recent phone models? How do I get it?
Will the generic firmware successfully interact with carrier SIM cards?
If there isn't generic firmware, how do you pick carrier firmware for maximum functionality/compatibility?
For phones with memory cards, can you run applications from the card or only access data? I know it might be slow.

On the road to Chennakeshavapura, a helpful sign on a stone identifies the village as CK Pura for short, but that message is lost on many illiterate residents. For them, reading and writing matters less than channeling enough water to their fields and growing enough peanuts to ride out the drought years.
In 2007, Swiss computer scientists and Indian agricultural scientists offered to install wireless sensors in the peanut fields at CK Pura and collect data the farmers might find useful for improving their yields. There was just one problem: few of the farmers could read the recommendations.
Now the farmers are testing smart-phone software designed specifically for illiterate users. An early version communicated valuable information about the farmers' crops, but the latest version should also let them send and receive text messages, using icons that are translated into words. The work could lead to other tools that give illiterate people elsewhere access to mobile communications.

[Editor Note: The views of this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH.com]
Fabolous thinks Jay-Z is still at the top of the game lyrically, even though he?s 40 years old. T-Pain thinks Jay- Z is 59 yeas old and shouldn?t have a say in what?s hot. So, what?s so funny between these two?
Props to last week's winner Chipcityls
Game On...The winner will be picked by the SOHH.com staff. Comments close on Monday, September 14th.

I have a hot sports opinion.
Mid-afternoon hockey games are strange. Especially on Mondays.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's get to Monday's action.
All The NHL Scores
Get caught up on last night's NHL scores with recaps from our network of SB Nation team blogs. Here's a quick glance at the full night of action:
Senators 2, Devils 1 (SO)
Maple Leafs 3, Panthers 0
Canadiens 3, Hurricanes 0
Ducks 3, Blue Jackets 2
Five Answers
Prior to last night's games, we presented five burning questions regarding the night's action. Here are your cool, soothing answers.
1. Will the Senators be able to put the puck in the net against Brodeur?
Ottawa had every reason to pack it up and admit defeat after the Devils posted a one-goal lead in the first minutes of the game. Instead, their captain Daniel Alfredsson tied it up in the third and the Senators got the only goal in the shootout to seal the win. The battered and bruised Senators forced Brodeur to make 29 saves and worked hard for their opportunities. Ben Bishop wasn't half bad either (30 saves). One win doesn't mean anything unless Ottawa can play this effectively with consistency in Erik Karlsson and Jason Spezza's absence, however.
2. Can the Islanders' goaltending hold up long enough for the team to get on a roll?
Uh, no. Not at all. Evgeni Nabokov stopped 18 of 25 shots as New York got steamrolled by Philadelphia, 7-0, in their own building. Although, to be fair, his teammates gave him no help whatsoever. Dominik from Lighthouse Hockey explains it best:
As the score got worse and the fading chances of any comeback fully disappeared in the second period, the Islanders got sloppy and more individually desperate, their structure and discipline completely breaking down. The rest of the game was a formality, devoid of ideas but well-populated with further moments of humiliation.
3. Which streak gets busted: Montreal or Carolina?
That would be the Hurricanes. Without Jeff Skinner, Tim Brent, Tim Gleason or Joni Pitkanen in the lineup, Carolina was unable to find that extra gear that they've found so consistently during their winning streak. They only managed 19 shots on goal and were pretty much done for as soon as Montreal broke through in the third period.
4. Can the Flyers ever find success within their own division?
If the Flyers are about to go on a run against their division rivals, they got started in a big way against the Islanders. The 7-0 win was highlighted by big performances from their two most important players. Ilya Bryzgalov was solid in net, stopping 19 shots. And Claude Giroux netted two goals and an assist after giving his team a big speech about finding consistency. We'll see if they can actually pull that off.
5. Will the Ducks' points streak with Viktor Fasth continue?
Jonas Hiller got the start in his stead, and put on a 25-save performance. The Ducks are now riding a five-game win streak and lead the Pacific Division thanks to their hot goaltending.
Impact Moment
What moment from last night's games will be making headlines in the coming days?
The officiating this season has been questionable at best, but no call has been more egregious than this missed offsides call on Matt Duchene.
I mean, not even close.
From the "Bet You Didn't Expect That One" department:

Machine vs. the grassroots - Clinton v. Obama the macrocosm?
by Drummond, Sun Feb 03, 2008 at 08:41:37 AM EST
This San Francisco Bay Guardian article elaborates on the perception and perhaps reality of the Obama/Clinton endorsement phenomenon. The article, entitled Who wants change? Local endorsements of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama fall along familiar ideological lines chronicles the San Francisco pol endorsements.
The perception of course is that the machines are supporting Clinton while the grassroots movements are supporting Obama. This is an oversimplification of course, and how you define "machine" and "grassroots" is often more subjective than objective.
More under the flap.
But in San Francisco the lines seem clear.
There were murmurs from Harris's corner and an awkwardness that hung thick in the air. This was because unlike Feinstein, Newsom, and most of the powerful establishment Democrats in San Francisco, who have endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, Harris was an early and high-profile supporter of Barack Obama.
That difference seems especially significant to San Francisco progressives and others who are wary of another Clinton returning to the White House and excited about the upstart candidacy of a younger black man who got into politics pounding the streets of Chicago as a community organizer.
Political endorsements are often like ideological tea leaves. Sometimes support stems from a personal relationship with the candidate, but usually it signals more of a philosophical affinity, a desire to either take a chance with something new or stick with a known quantity, which seems to be the case with this presidential primary election.
"It boils down to this: are you part of the Willie Brown, John Burton political machine, in which case you're with Hillary, or are you part of the free-thinking folks who really want to see change?" Board of Supervisors president Aaron Peskin -- who considers himself part of the latter group and has endorsed Obama -- said to the Guardian.
Peskin noted that all of the elected officials in San Francisco who got their jobs through a Newsom appointment -- Sups. Sean Elsbernd and Michela Alioto-Pier, Assessor Phil Ting, and Treasurer José Cisneros -- have endorsed Clinton, whose campaign has been notorious locally for pressuring top Democrats to get on board.
But Sup. Chris Daly -- who, like Peskin and many others, backed Edwards four years ago and supports Obama this time -- thinks an Obama victory would be hugely important both locally and nationally in terms of opening up the Democratic Party and the country to new ideas.
"Hillary Clinton clearly represents the establishment, closely aligned to the [Democratic Leadership Council], and Obama represents a change from that. If Obama wins, it would send a serious wave of change through the Democratic Party and open up opportunities for progressives," Daly told us.
He also said progressive Democrats are "like the redheaded stepchildren of the party," consistently marginalized by leaders like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Feinstein, and Newsom. Daly said he liked the policies and messages of Edwards and Dennis Kucinich but identifies with Obama's roots as a community organizer and feels he's the best hope for change. Daly said an Obama victory would "mainstream activist politics, which is what I practice."
So is it playing out this way elsewhere? Examples?

I've now tried three weeks worth of predictions. I'm using current performance in 2009 as the basis for these predictions. Thus, there was no prediction for Week 1. In Week 2, I went 9-7 (56%). In Week 3, the record was 11-5 (69%). This past weekend (Week 4), I went 10-4 (71%). So, for the season to-date, my predictions have gone 30-16 (65%). This is higher than I was expecting -- I was actually figuring at ending up around 50%.
My predictions were right for: the Giants, the Bengals, the Redskins, the Jaguars, the Colts, the Bears, the Saints, the 49ers, the Broncos, and the Vikings. I missed on the Ravens, the Raiders, the Bills, and the Chargers.
After the jump, at the request of lebowskibronco, I will share the formula I've been using, and let you all critique it, should you so desire (just try to not laugh too much at it :D)
The method I decided to use shakes out as follows (and fyi, I have this all in an Excel spreadsheet, rather than calculating it by hand):
1)Base Points
Points are the ultimate determinant for who wins and who loses. So each team is assigned a "base point" score. These scores are based on the Points For/Points Against of each of the teams in the contest. That score is determined as follows:
((points for / games played) + (opponent's points against / games played)) / 2
Example: In Week 5, Denver will host New England.
Denver's Points For = 79
New England's Points Against = 71
((79 / 4) + (71 / 4)) / 2 = 19 (NOTE: the spreadsheet is set to round calculations)
Denver's Base Points = 19
New England's Points For = 87
Denver's Points Against = 26
((87 / 4) + (26 / 4)) / 2 = 14
New England's Base Points = 14
2)Record Adjustment
Base Points are adjusted by each team's win/loss record.
Base Points + (Wins - Losses)
Denver = 19 + (4-0) = 23
New England = 14 + (3-1) = 16
3)Home/Road Adjustment
The Record Adjustment score is modified by each team's home/away record, as appropriate.
Denver's at home and their home record is 2-0. Thus, their adjustment is 23 + (2-0) = 25
New England is the visitor and their road record is 0-1. Thus the adjustment is 16 + (0-1) = 15.
4)Division Record Adjustment
If the teams are in the same division, their divisional record is added as an adjustment. New England and Denver are in different divisions, so zeros would be entered into this category & no adjustment made.
Denver's score 25, New England's 15
5)Conference Record Adjustment
If the teams are in the same conference, their score is adjusted by their conference record. If they are in different conferences, zeros are entered in this category.
Denver = 25 + (3-0) = 28
New England = 15 + (2-1) = 16
6)Non-conference Record Adjustment
f the teams are in different conferences, their score is adjusted by their record against the opposing conference. If they are in the same conference, zeros are entered in this category.
Denver = 28
New England = 16
7)Streak Adjustment
Each team's score is adjusted by the number of games in a row won or lost. If they are on a winning streak of 1 or more, a positive number is added. If they are on a losing streak of 1 or more, a negative number is added.
Denver 28 + 4 = 32
New England = 16 + 2 = 18
Thus, in this example, Denver would be predicted -- based on season-to-date performance -- to defeat New England.
Closing Thoughts
1)It usually takes me between 15 and 30 minutes to enter the numbers into the spreadsheet to predict the games being played on a given weekend.
2)I will be interested to see if the current pattern of slowly increasing accuracy continues as the season progresses.
About mid-week, I'll crunch the numbers for Week 5 & see how that plays out.

Judge Says Street Gangs More Deadly than Some Gitmo Detainees
Posted Dec 17, 2009 10:47 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A federal judge speaking today at an ABA breakfast said he's not worried about the court system's ability to handle the trial of Guantanamo detainees.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, the chief federal judge in Washington, D.C., said street gangs are "more murderous" than some Guantanamo detainees, the Associated Press reports. He commented as he spoke about Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to try some detainees in U.S. courts.
Lamberth said he doesn't want to get into a debate about the best forum for detainee trials, but he thinks federal courts are secure enough to handle the job.
From 1995 to 2002, Lamberth served as presiding judge of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which secretly reviews wiretap applications in terrorism and espionage cases. In a 2007 speech, he criticized President Bush's decision to allow surveillance in some cases without court approval.

Reese Witherspoon arrived at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles Sunday evening (January 12) wearing a strong, American sportswear look.
The actress wore a teal, custom Calvin Klein Collection viridian silk crepe t-back dress and Harry Winston jewelry.
Reese chose a low-key look, which is appropriate considering she is a presenter, not a nominee tonight. The fit and color are flattering and the t-back is a great, sporty detail.
Fresh-faced make-up and simple hair suit the feel of the dress.
This hem desperately needs to be shortened but it's otherwise a pretty dress well-suited to the sweet, bubbly actress.

Christmas morning, with the aromas of cinnamon, butter and bacon mingling with the cool morning breezes and the fragrance of pine. It is a special time, a quiet time, I think, to be treasured, no matter your relationship to the holiday.
If little kids are part of your morning, it will be shaped by early-morning footsteps, the crinkling of gift wrap and squeals of delight.
If not, you may linger in bed a tad longer than usual, sipping tea or coffee, reading the paper and enjoying the silence, uninterrupted by annoying phone calls and a need to rush off to the next obligation.
My preference is to enjoy a pot of homemade chai tea as I make a favorite cinnamon coffee cake and fry some bacon to go along with it.
It's a once-a-year indulgence that neither induces guilt no matter how much butter I slather on the cake nor makes me want to repeat it, except a year from now.
It's a lovely indulgence but not an addictive one.
When the coffee cake is ready and the bacon sufficiently crisp, I'll pour a glass of sparkling wine and savor it all slowly, before heading to the nearby coast so the puppies can sniff the shoreline to their hearts' content.
Whatever it is you are doing or not doing today, Happy Christmas. I hope it is a delicious day, full of love.
In "Cooking for Comfort" (Simon & Schuster, 2003), journalist Marian Burros offers several of her mother's recipes, including this one.
It is so similar to one that I loved when I was a little girl that I couldn't resist making a small change by adding butter to the filling and topping, which is how I remember it.
Coffee cake should, especially on Christmas Day, be served with good butter alongside.
Marian Burros' Mother's Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Makes 8 to 12 servings
For filling and topping:
1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
6 tablespoons sugar

Harrison Graham: The Corpse Collector
History of Problems
Marty's mother, Lillian Graham Jeter, 45, was located, but she said that she'd asked him to leave because of his drug habit.Ā She did provide one bit of information: He'd told her several months earlier that his girlfriend Mary was pregnant. Then on July 4, he said that the baby had died. Another woman, Robin DeShazor, had lived with Graham in her home a few years earlier.Ā She, too, was a drug addict, and they'd gone together to the third-floor apartment on North 19th Street.Ā Lillian added that Marty had been diagnosed with a mental disorder when he was twelve and had been hospitalized for two years.Ā He was also classified as learning-disabled and had lived in a foster home for a while.
The men who had evicted Marty were questioned as well.Ā "He didn't say nothin' when I told him to leave," remarked one of them, although he admitted that initially Graham would not let them inside.Ā "I heard him moving things around in there.Ā I head some banging noises, like hammering."Ā When he left, Graham took a water bottle, clothing and a few bags.Ā He was wearing white pants, a striped jacket, and a cap, and he had his raggedy blue Cookie Monster.
Investigators compiled a profile.Ā They learned was that Graham often took long walks and played basketball with local kids.Ā He liked to entertain them with his Cookie Monster.Ā Other neighbors said he was a loner, but when he got drunk, he'd act a "little crazy," doing things like dance in the streets.Ā No one interviewed immediately after the discovery reported aggression on his part, but eventually several women said that's he'd tried to rape them or hit them on the head.Ā A drug user, who wanted to remain anonymous, told reporters that a person could get any kind of drugs in Marty's apartment.Ā She had assumed that the foul odor in there was due to toilets not working and mounds of trash lying around.Ā The landlord reported that he always paid his $90 per month rent, and that his income of $300 a month came from Social Security disability funds.
Whoever Marty was, he remained a mystery for the time being as he continued to elude the police.

Slip and Fall Lawyers
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
What is a Slip and Fall?
Slip and fall is a term that describes an injury sustained when someone slips, trips, or falls on someone else's property as the result of a dangerous or hazardous condition. The property owner may be liable to you for your injuries.
What Are Some Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents?
Slip and fall accidents happen when a careless or negligent property owner creates a dangerous condition on the property or fails to repair a hazardous condition. Some of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
- Structural Defects: As buildings get older, normal wear and tear can create dangerous conditions for visitors. Cracked sidewalks, torn carpeting and uneven steps are just a few hazards that can cause injury to visitors.
- Weather Hazards: Property owners generally have a duty to make reasonable efforts to minimize the dangerous conditions caused by rough weather. For example, property owners should shovel snow and salt steps and sidewalks to avoid slip and fall accidents in cold and icy weather conditions.
- Building Code Violations: A property owner who fails to ensure that the building is up to code may be liable to a slip and fall victim who is injured as a result of the building's non-compliance.
Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you or a loved one have been injured in a slip and fall accident, you should speak to an attorney immediately to learn more about preserving your rights and remedies.

Endoscopic Band Ligation (Esophageal Band Ligation)
Endoscopic band ligation is a procedure to treat enlarged veins in the throat. Elastic bands are placed around the enlarged veins (varices) in the throat (esophagus). Endoscopic band ligation is performed as part of an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy.
Parts of the Body Involved
- Mouth
- Throat
- Esophagus
Reasons for Procedure
Endoscopic band ligation is performed to treat esophageal varices. If left untreated, esophageal varices could rupture and bleed severely.
Risk Factors for Complications During the Procedure
- Age: 60 or older
- Pregnancy
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Malnutrition
- Recent or chronic illness
- Diabetes
- Heart or lung problems
- Bleeding disorders
- Alcoholism
- Use of certain medications
- Use of illegal drugs
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
In the days leading up to your procedure:
- The night before, eat a light meal and do not eat or drink anything after midnight, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
- Take medications, if prescribed by your doctor.
- Arrange to have someone drive you to and from the procedure, and for help at home after your procedure.
- LocalYou may be given an anesthetic solution to gargle, or your throat may be sprayed with a numbing anesthetic. You may also be given a sedative to help you relax.
- Conscious sedationYou may be given medications through an intravenous (IV) to help you relax and to treat any pain you feel during the procedure.
Description of the Procedure
You may be asked to lie on your left side. You will have monitors that will track your breathing, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. You may also be given supplemental oxygen to breathe through your nose.
A supportive device will be positioned in your mouth to help keep it open during the procedure. A suction tube will be used to clear the saliva and other fluids from your mouth. Then your doctor will place a lubricated endoscope (a small, flexible tube containing a light and video camera) into your mouth, down your throat, and into your esophagus. As the endoscope advances, the doctor can view the inside of your digestive tract and locate the enlarged vein. Air will be introduced into the endoscope to help your doctor see your esophagus. Once your doctor has located the vein, he or she will need to remove the endoscope and attach the banding device to the end of the scope. He or she will then repass the scope into the esophagus and suck the enlarged tissue into the devices chamber and place one or more bands around it. After Procedure You will be taken to a recovery area until the effects of your medications have worn off. How Long Will It Take? The procedure typically takes less than one hour. Will It Hurt? You will usually feel some pressure and discomfort but no pain during the procedure. After the procedure, your throat may feel irritated and sore. Possible Complications Bleeding Accidental perforation of the esophagus Abnormal heartbeat Aspiration (breathing fluids into the lungs, which can lead to pneumonia) Infection Fever Reduced breathing rate and/or depth Adverse reaction to sedatives or numbing anesthetics Average Hospital Stay In most cases, you will be observed for about an hour and then allowed to go home.
Postoperative Care After returning home, you should do the following: Follow your doctor's instructions regarding your diet. Avoid driving or using heavy machinery for at least a day after your procedure, since sedatives may slow your reaction time. Avoid drinking alcohol for at least a day after your procedure. Get plenty of rest. Outcome In the days or weeks after your procedure, the tissue that was banded will slough off. Call Your Doctor If Any of the Following Occurs Increasing or persistent pain Severe abdominal pain Bleeding Fever Nausea and vomiting Bloody bowel movements Extreme dizziness or weakness Difficulty breathing Difficulty swallowing Increase of or change in your original symptoms RESOURCES: American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy http://www.asge.org National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases http://www2.niddk.nih.gov CANADIAN RESOURCES: Canadian Association of Gastroenterology http://www.cag-acg.org Health Canada http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/index_e.html References: Endoscopic hemostatic devices.

Creating a translation for a new page
27 May 2010 at 11:39pm Last edited: 27 May 2010 11:39pm
Multilangual content is nice.
I am working on a 'sparse' site: much of the content is not translated, but a full sitetree has to be available in the alternative language.
If a page's Content is not available (empty page) in the alternative language, it automatically shows the page in the default language without leaving the SiteTree (we added this functionality)
However, if we create a new page in the default language, we also automatically want to create a page in the alternative language.
Is there some way to overwrite the constructor of a new Page so that it also automatically generates the translation?
Re: Creating a translation for a new page

Anyone know this?
Simple question I think: is it possible, upon creation of a new Page, to also immediately create an empty translation?

vacation rental description
Well off the beaten path (which requires a 4x4 vehicle), our home offers a private and intimate experience connecting with the wonders of the rainforest. Built on a ridge with mountains behind, the home looks over the canopy of our private wildlife reserve project and out to the ocean beyond. The home's focus is open-air living and features both outdoor dining and living areas, as well as an outdoor, screened-in bedroom - a favorite of many guests. With two other bedrooms and two full baths, the home sleeps eight in beds, with foam mattresses for additional guests as needed. The pool, which adjoins the master bedroom patio, has a walkway cantilevered over the rainforest.
A true nature lover's paradise, the Rainforest Preserve Lodge and the surrounding Preserve offer so many ways to encounter and experience a wide variety of wildlife - watching toucans and other birds from the balcony, waking to marauding coatimundis in the trees or monkeys passing by. You never know what you'll see next. Our land is in the midst of the 'Path of the Tapir' biological corridor. We are developing a system of trails through the Preserve to enhance the opportunities to view wildlife and witness the exceptional natural beauty of the property. A morning walk with our caretaker (and nature guide extraordinaire!) to Hummingbird Falls or into the mountains is always a magical learning experience.
Our sunset platform, which overlooks 40 miles of coastline, is a great place to enjoy a picnic supper at sunset and look for whales below. The seven or eight beaches within a half-hour up and down the coast each offer a different ocean experience. Swimming, surfing, snorkeling, kayaking to sea caves, boating, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, rappelling down waterfalls or just relaxing are all available close by. Whatever level of adventure you enjoy is waiting for you.
So come and relax in the pool and watch the rainforest unfold in front of you, or explore the many areas of Rainforest Preserve, Dominical.
Above all, feel welcome!

Hong Kong - Two Hong Kong school boys, aged 12 and 14, were arrested after driving off in a double decker from a bus station, a news report said on Wednesday.
The two were spotted by a bus company worker as they began to manoeuvre the bus slowly from a parking bay at around 2am Tuesday , said the Hong Kong Standard newspaper.
According to police, the Kowloon Motor Bus employee managed to persuade the boys to stop.
The boys, who were identified by their surnames Wong and Ng, were released on bail after being charged with taking a vehicle without authority and driving without a licence. Wong has also been charged with driving without insurance.
The bus company was investigating how the boys managed to get on board the bus and start the engine. It is believed they may have used an all-access key which operates most buses in the fleet.
In 2007, two 16-year-olds were ordered to do community service and placed on probation by a court after stealing an all-access key and using it take several buses on a joyriding spree, crashing one of the buses into a lamppost. - Sapa-dpa

For want of wisdom in Solomons II
That idiotic woman opens her yap hole once again.:
Prime Minister Helen Clark says she is "aghast" at the appointment of two Solomon Islands MPs accused of inciting last month's violent riots as cabinet ministers.
Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has handed Charles Dausabea the police and national security portfolio and Nelson Ne'e has been given tourism and culture.
Both were arrested and charged with fomenting the riots that erupted last month after Snyder Rini was elected prime minister amid corruption allegations.
Mr Sogavare today said on National Radio that there was nothing wrong with the appointments as the charges against the ministers were unsubstantiated and unproven.
But Miss Clark today said the appointments risked further damaging the Solomons already fragile international reputation.
"When I heard about it I was absolutely aghast frankly, because these people are both in prison," she said on Newstalk ZB.
"They are charged with very very serious offences."
"There's going to be very strong views from New Zealand expressed that these appointments, if they go through, would have serious ramifications not only for the Solomon Islands but also for the Solomon Islands international reputation."
She should be aghast that they were charged and even more aghast that they were imprisoned in the first place. It is the quality of Australian justice and administration that ought to be under scrutiny here - not the democratic decisions of duly elected representatives.
Just because she has her lackies in positions of power so she avoids being charged with forgery and defeating the course of justice over Paintergate does not give her a platform to be aghast at anything that the Solomon Island leaders have done. And as for ramifications for international reputations, the hypocrite ought to try reading the UN investigation into the dirty little secrets about her government's treatment of Maori as second class citizens before she dares to make aspersions on our neighbours.
Full post on Solomons and the Australian take-over/riots etc. The magistrate responsible for the jailings, Kieren Boothman was a Kalgoorlie magistrate in the Court of Petty Sessions: "Magistrate Boothman came to WA from Northern Ireland. In 1999, he set up the Family Violence Court in Joondalup, north of Perth. "

RICHARDSON, Texas (AP) - Regulators say a North Texas hotel must pay nearly $103,000 in back wages in a record-keeping dispute involving dozens of workers.
The Department of Labor on Wednesday announced the agreement with the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Dallas-Richardson. Authorities say the Hilton Hotels Corp. franchise is owned and operated by Taraz Kooh LLC.
Federal officials found violations involving minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping provisions for at least 112 workers. The operator has agreed to provide back pay and maintain accurate wage and hours records in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.
A message left with the hotel for comment was not immediately returned Wednesday.

---- — A bright red line of brake lights stretched for two miles along a narrow secondary road next to Interstate 65 as temporary employees at Amazon's mammoth fulfillment center in Whitestown made their way home Wednesday evening.
Similar lines of red snaked south along Indianapolis Avenue and other routes away from the distribution center on Albert S. White Boulevard.
At the Interstate 65 interchange with Whitestown Parkway (formerly Indiana 334), westbound drivers were backed up beyond County Road 650 East as a police officer stood in the glare of portable work lights, waiting as two companions, wearing bright lime green reflective vests and wielding flashlights tipped with orange cones, coordinated traffic flow.
From November through early December, this has been the scene as workers at Amazon's distribution center have clogged roads in southern Boone County, as the online business adds about 3,000 employees – for a total of about 5,000 – to deal with a rush of holiday shoppers.
Those traffic jams may be over.

While the UFC is in no hurry to promote women's mixed martial arts fights, they certainly don't mind if the ladies do a little promoting for them.
That's because perhaps the biggest female star in the entire sport, Gina Carano, will be in New York City on March 23 to help promote the UFC Personal Trainer video game for XBOX 360 Kinect, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii, according to NewsDay.com.
With the news of Zuffa buying out Strikeforce, the women's division is perhaps the most affected, as Dana White has long stated he feels there simply aren't enough talented fighters to support it.
So what does that mean for Carano and company?
Nothing, at least for the time being. As long as Strikeforce continues to operate on its own, she will remain employed in MMA. But will that change if a merger takes place sometime in the future?
"Conviction" is reportedly putting the finishing touches on her upcoming film, "Haywire" (see her on set in a wetsuit right here), and is tentatively scheduled to make her return to action on June 18 in Dallas against an opponent to be named.

Dakota Mathias this guy is a man playing with boys . Seriously if you haven't been following the likes of Eric Gardner , Trevor Andershock and others you need to be brought up to speed . He does it all hitting three game winning shots and handing out an assist in another they went on to win Adidas in Indy . Consider this his team has only a few player on it that have a shot at Div.1 . Yet they have a guy who refuses to lose . They are in the Championship game in Indy today in the Crossroads challenge because of Mathias he scored 27 points trailing EG all stars and (Eron Gordon) by 10 with 6 min. to go Mathias took over scoring 20 second half points and grabbing 10 boards . They won the state challenge in Indy also . This guy is some kind of a freak throw back to the likes of Jerry West and Larry Bird . Yes I said Larry Bird he never seems to get to high or to low . He works hard to get his teammates involved . When this doesn't work he simply scores at will no matter the double and triple teams . He is a WINNER and he wins . He can score from any where on the court . And can pass in traffic like a PG . Painter has been watching his prized recruit very closely with a little bounce in his step . Reports are that he has started wearing a padded vest under his Purdue Polo to help with the stinging feeling in his back from every other coach patting him on it . Yes the man can spot talent early on .
Before the hatters jump on the Larry Bird comment . I am not calling him LB 2.0 I am simply trying to paint a picture of the type of player he is . Birds will to win took lowly ISU to the championship game . And IMO Mathias has that same type of game . Forget the star he does or doesn't have . And remember the wins for me I prefer the wins . His team has one loss in 20 or so games . Dakota is a winner but Purdue fans are the Biggest Winner ! Love My Boilers ! Boiler Up !

Bryce Harper has finally started to produce at the plate, and the 21-year-old's .361 batting average over the last 10 games is one of the reasons the Washington Nationals are currently riding a 10-game winning streak. Does he have Yasiel Puig to thank?
For whatever reason, Harper was using a bat with Puig's name and number on it Thursday night. While we don't know how long Harper has been using Puig's lumber, we do know that he was in such a slump recently that Nationals manager Matt Williams had to answer questions about possibly sending Harper to the minors.
Whatever Bryce is doing now is working. If the Nationals and Dodgers square off in the postseason, Dodgers fans might start to get a little irritated by Harper's choice in equipment.

Titiyas is popular at many Guam parties whether it's made with masa harina, all-purpose flour or young coconut. Soft titiyas is the result of less kneading and plenty of fat, usually butter though oil is sometimes included. Firm titiyas is made by kneading the dough quite a bit and using less fat relative to flour.
The flour titiyas recipe in A Taste of Guam yields six discs of titiyas, averaging 6.5 inches in diameter. Remember to add the milk slowly. My recipe uses whole milk though sometimes I use coconut milk when I forget to buy whole milk. I have found that I need less whole milk compared to coconut milk in this recipe.
from a fan: "Made my very first batch of Titiyas!.....had a big smile on his face as he slathered the butter on the warm, sweet, flat bread. He said it tasted like he remembered. I'm sure they were no where near how good his Nana made them, but i think this white girl did good!"
"Paula, I have tried a few recipes for flour titiyas and I have to say, yours is the BEST! Hands down!

A group of students at the University of Virginia are daring to dream. The Latino Student Alliance is trying to raise awareness about a piece of legislation that would allow undocumented students to go to college in the United States.
To get their point across, they are not using their voices. Silence and solidarity is what these students want to convey. Close to 30 gathered at Scott Stadium for a silent march Monday morning. Others joined along while en route to the Rotunda.
The Latino Student Alliance fully supports the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, and is asking the university to endorse it. It is a piece of proposed legislation that would allow thousands of undocumented students living in the United States to pursue higher education. If passed, it would give students conditional residency while attending college.
The Alliance's Danny Navarro says 30,000 students in Virginia would benefit from the act. These same students have attended school and graduated from high school in Virginia.
"These kids came over to the United States when they were two years old- four years-old, very young," said Navarro. "The country they only know about is the United States of America. This is home. This is our home. We want to be positive members of our society. We want to go to college, we want to fight in the military."
Navarro says he understands that not everyone supports and agrees with the groups' efforts, but says the legislation is the next step for students to give back to the country that has helped them live a life they would not have had in their home country.
The alliance is looking for 2,000 to 5,000 signatures for its petition. It will present it to Student Council Tuesday night and if passed, it will then make its way to the Board of Visitors and UVA President Teresa Sullivan.

How Can I Afford a New Car?
August 12, 2013 at 4:16 PM Leave a comment
Note: This is a guest post.
Buying a new car is one of the single most expensive purchases you will make in your lifetime. Consequently, it is quite important that you are absolutely sure that you are looking at a vehicle that will meet your needs and that you can actually afford it.
There are many ways in which you can finance the purchase of a car, though not all will be suitable in certain circumstances. Here we take a look at the different ways one can afford a car and their various benefits and disadvantages.
Can you afford a new car?
The first thing to actually think about when it comes to looking at purchase options for a vehicle is whether you can actually afford it at all. Take a good look at the balance of your UK bank account and consider what sort of income you're expecting in the near future against likely outgoings.
If it turns out you just can't find the money to make the monthly installments without the risk of non-payment, it's probably a good idea to think about a new car at a later date when you are in a more financially stable position.
Establish budget
After establishing whether you can afford a new car, the next step is to set a budget that you won't exceed in any way. This will give you a better idea of what kind of cars you should be looking at, what you can afford, and whether a new vehicle is realistic.
Different finance options
There are a variety of different car finance plans and possibilities for those making a new purchase, each one tailored to meet the needs of a different type of buyer. The simplest type of finance will usually be a personal loan from your bank. However, there are other forms of finance that are a lot more complex but may give you a bit more freedom in the future.
For instance, the Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) keeps payments low and gives you the option to return the vehicle at the end of an agreed period for a pre-determined sum. You can buy the vehicle outright for this sum or trade it in for a newer model.
Though this may sound like a great finance plan, it was created to make purchasing a newer model the most financially beneficial option, meaning owners are locked into only owning cars from specific manufacturers or dealers.
