I don't have a problem with the Miami Dolphins giving the silent treatment to most of the team's 2011 free agents.
A car dealership isn't going to make their BEST offer until they know the prospective client is ready and prepared to walk out the door. I assume the Dolphins' front office has taken that approach considering that's been their M.O. since they arrived in 2008.

Red Bank police arrested a teenager today in connection with an armed robbery at the Tobacco Mart at 2107 Dayton Blvd.
Witnesses told police the suspect was wearing a red bandana and a plaid jacket when he robbed the clerk at gunpoint and fled with cash around 2 p.m. today. Sean Austin Scott, 18, was arrested about 10 minutes later when police found him in the getaway car, a black Nissan sedan, according to Police Chief Tim Christol.
Police recovered all of the stolen cash and the clothes worn by the robber, Christol said. Scott is charged with aggravated robbery and is being held in the Hamilton County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

The only city in the world built on an active volcanic field, Auckland is dotted with 50 volcanoes, which make for exciting yet safe vantage points from which to view the city and its yacht-speckled harbour. With beaches on both the west and east coasts, it's a tropical summer destination that also holds its own in winter.

Man succumbs to neck wound, IHIT investigating
Dan Fumano, The ProvincePublished: Friday, January 03, 2014
Homicide investigators took over a new case in Abbotsford on Thursday evening after a man died in hospital.
Abbotsford police were called Thursday afternoon to a business in the 30100-block Automall Drive, after man in his 30s walked in with a severe neck wound at around 3:45 p.m., said Const. Ian MacDonald.
Medical resources were deployed to help the man, and he was transported to hospital.
"Tragically, the wounded man succumbed to his injuries a short time after arriving at hospital," said a release from Abbotsford police.
The time of death was roughly at 5 p.m., MacDonald said.
Shortly after that, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team took over the case and investigators were headed to the scene, said Sgt. Adam MacIntosh of the IHIT.
Thursday's death was Abbotsford's first murder investigation of 2014.
In 2008 and 2009, the Fraser Valley city had the title of Murder Capital of Canada, with the most homicides per 100,000 residents. The city's worst year on record was 2009, with 11 murders.
But since then, Abbotsford's murder rate has been on the decline. Last year, the city had two homicides, and neither one was gang-related.

Today I published my tests of CSS transitions in the desktop and mobile browsers. I created the test cases ages ago, but interpreting the results turned out to be tricky.
From the last month or so, with a few older articles.
This week I finally gathered the courage to run the media query test suite I wrote over a year ago in the latest crop of mobile browsers. The results are moderately interesting, especially when it comes to Chromium-based browsers. I discovered a new one: Xiaomi Chromium. It's the ninth I identified, and the first one I had to work really hard on in order to get a version number.

Permalink | in Chrome, Market share, Samsung
For at least a year now I've held to the theory that the huge uptake in Chrome we're seeing on the mobile web is mostly due to Samsung using its own version (based on Chromium 28) in its high-end smart devices from the Galaxy S4 on.
Yesterday Krijn started tweeting about mobile stats he had, and it turned out he was willing to share. He gave me data on about 100K mobile and tablet hits in Q2 on a project of his he's worked on for
ages five years. I took the data gratefully and created a table.
Conclusion: Of Chrome users, 25% uses Samsung Chrome — this amounts to about 5% of all mobile visits to the site. On the one hand this proves that Samsung Chrome is a Thing — on the other hand I had expected a much higher percentage. So my theory isn't right, but Samsung Chrome is still important.

Written by Robert Katulak Thursday, 17 April 2014 00:00
Over the past three years, various research studies have been conducted across our country regarding the effect that academic vocabulary plays in a student's comprehension and understanding of content across the disciplines. Additional studies done by researcher
Robert Marzano, involving 50 studies over the past five years, point to the fact that every school has a responsibility for selecting and teaching students specific vocabulary to help them understand content and questions on everyday teacher made and standardized tests.
He has provided educators with a six step strategy for us to work with our students in the acquisition of that academic vocabulary. Each of our principals continues to decide with his/her teachers how to select the vocabulary words and use Marzano's Six Step
Strategy listed below. As an entire community let's all build our vocabulary to enrich the conversations and learning taking place in our schools, jobs, libraries and home by following these six steps.
Step 1—Provide a description, explanation or example of the new term. The traditional look it up in the dictionary "has not" been a useful tool for teaching academic vocabulary according to research.
Step 2—Ask students (or the learner) to restate the description, explanation or example in their own words.
Step 3—Ask the learner to construct a picture, symbol or graphic representing the word.
Step 4—Engage the learner periodically in activities that help them and add to their knowledge by writing the word in a journal and using it at least eight times.
Step 5—Periodically ask students to discuss the word with one another. Example: If the word is democracy, they could discuss how they benefit from living in a government that is a democracy.
Step 6—Allow students to play games that allow them to interact with the vocabulary word (Hangman, Jeopardy, Word Search, Bookworm and many other free apps.)
Our goal in the New Hyde Park-Garden City Park School District is never to remain at status quo when it comes to our students' education and therefore, we constantly look to implement research driven, academic vocabulary strategies from Marzano.

Parker is watchable chiefly for Statham, who exudes effortless cool and excels in hand-to-hand combat, as well as demonstrating his skill at wielding some very unlikely weapons. ...

Upon release of the latest "15 Views," we ask Burrow Press publisher Ryan Rivas 15 essential questions.
Published: March 27, 2013
8. Favorite curse word? Or, favorite substitute curse word when you're in a setting where you can't swear?
9. Girls: love it, hate it, or love to hate it? As a writer of essays yourself, it must be nice (or painfully awful?) to see an essayist as a TV character. What did you think of Lena Dunham's New Yorker essay this week?
I'll let you know about Girls when it's available for streaming on Netflix. As for the essay ... I wish the dog character could have been more mentally unstable.
10. In your foreword to the edition, you refer to a certain strain of Florida fiction – Dave Barry, Carl Hiaasen, et al. – as "Flamingo Fiction, or Bermuda Shorts Realism." How about Padgett Powell, Harry Crews, Karen Russell – all of whom, to varying degrees, could be said to be writing Floridiana?
In a much longer essay of mine that no one outside of Florida is interested in publishing, I refer to some amazing examples of Florida fiction, including Padgett Powell, Harry Crews, Karen Russell – also John Brandon, and, oddly enough, Wallace Stevens. … I think what it comes down to is this: When writing about Florida, don't muck around in stereotypes; there is an unprecedented amount of rich territory to explore with thought and honesty. Also, try not to use Florida as an adjective. The Florida heat; the Florida sun – save that for newspapers and sports jerseys.
11. Do you secretly enjoy reading that cartoony Flamingo Fiction stuff? Or is it just an occupational requirement?
I more or less love-hate those books. But I don't read them anymore. I feel like the "Florida Man" Twitter accomplishes what those books seek to do, only with more precision, and sometimes unintentional grace.
12. Were you a big reader as a child?
I hated reading until my 11th-grade English teacher assigned the stories "The Things They Carried," "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," "The Use of Force," and "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been." After reading those stories, I knew I was forked for life.
13. What's new at Page 15, the public school reading/writing program you mentioned earlier?
Page 15 is always kicking butt. We're in our fifth year of after-school tutoring in Parramore. This very week we're holding our third annual Slam Poetry camp for high-schoolers. My co-worker Phil Zoshak just launched a program called Play 15, where he's got our tutoring kids hooked on playing D&D and writing about their adventures. We've got a huge children's book giveaway happening April 21. Our sixth annual summer writing camp's this summer. Our high-school anthology in the fall. We offer all this stuff to kids for free. Which I think is a pretty radical idea, but no one has called us socialists yet.
14. Tell us about the making of the 15 Views V2 book trailer (below). Any plans to do this for all your books from now on?
The book trailer was made possible by writer/film wizard Jonathan Kosik. He made the whole process seem easy and was also responsible for the rooster wallpaper, which should not, the label warns, be used to make children's pajamas. I hope he agrees to help out with future trailers and other visual endeavors.
15. Which Rocky is best: I (Yo Adrian Rocky), II (beats Apollo Creed Rocky), III (Mr. T Rocky), IV (Ivan Drago Rocky), V (Tommy Gunn Rocky), Rocky Balboa (plastic surgery Rocky),or some to-be-determined scientifically Petri-dished cyborg Rocky of the future?
I choose Rocky Road, currently in pre-production. It's a cross between all the Rocky flicks and Cormac McCarthy's The Road. All the past Rocky villains will play dog-fur-clad cannibals in some doomsday cult. I see it as a comedy, though, like how some of Shakespeare's tragedies can be read as comedies. You know, funny stuff. Spoiler alert: Everyone dies.

We're nearing the end of summer, but it's still hot here in New Orleans. Few things cool you off better than sweet treats like ice cream and gelato. If you've got a sweet tooth coming on during your visit to New Orleans, be sure to check out these three dessert hot spots, located throughout the city.
Creole Creamery (4924 Prytania St – Uptown & 6260 Vicksburg St – Lakeview)
Simultaneously a classic spot with a rich history that has a progressive-thinking chef who loves to experiment and push the limits of ice cream flavors, Creole Creamery is a must-try. You'll enjoy unique and incredible flavors like Lavender Honey, Green Fairy (absinthe with candied orange peel and dark chocolate), Cookie Monster (crumbles of Oreo, cookie dough, Chips Ahoy and chocolate chips) and Golden Summer Fig (saffron with orange blossom honey and fig preserves). If you come during Saints season, the most popular flavor is Black & Gold Crunch. And if you can't decide which flavors to try, order a four or six mini scoop ice cream sampler. The crowning jewel is making the Hall of Fame after taking the Tchoupitoulas Challenge, in which a diner must complete an enormous sundae complete with eight scoops of ice cream and every topping the creamery has. Try if you dare.

Remember that one time? In Congress? When an anonymous group of House Republicans tried and failed to sneak a rider into the farm bill that would have exempted agribusiness from liability for biotech crops and all but eliminated the government's power to regulate them? Good times.
Well, the implosion of the farm bill did nothing to stop Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont, et al's quest to insulate themselves from lawsuits. Maybe it has something to do with the rise of superweeds and superbugs resistant to their products and the fact that commodity farmers are just maybe starting to take a hard look at the costs versus the benefits of the current and coming crop of genetically modified seeds. Or perhaps it's simply a desire to complete their dominance of U.S. agriculture.
Whatever the reason, the so-called "Monsanto rider" is back, this time thanks to an anonymous senator, or group of senators, who have attached it to the must-pass "Continuing Resolution" that will keep the government operating as of March 27. Let me just say that when it comes to Congress - which is chockablock with men and women desperate for media attention - whenever you hear the word "anonymous" attached to anything, you know you there's something sketchy going on.
Tom Philpott at
Mother Jones did the yeoman's service of digging out the exact language from the bill. Right after the section where Congress defunds the mohair subsidy program (you do know we have a mohair subsidy program, don't you?), the draft legislation states that in the event that a court declares a genetically modified seed illegal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture can override the judge and allow farmers to keep planting, harvesting, and distributing it. Funny enough, this exact scenario occurred with Monsanto's GMO sugar beets a couple years ago when a federal judge found that the USDA had violated the law in approving them. The department defied the court order and told farmers to keep planting anyway.

Moe's - is it just me?
- meatn3 Jan 12, 2008 12:33 AM
I travel a certain stretch of interstate very frequently. There is a Moe's at the town where I am usually looking for quick on/off ramp lunch. Maybe my brain is just too road weary, but I find their menu a real pain to wade through. I guess if you go frequently you know that the "Art Vandalay" is the one for you. But as a very hungry yet infrequent diner, I really just want to be able to narrow down the options for the protein type I'm looking for at the moment rather than determine if an old TV memory is full of bull or fowl...If you have been able to wade through the menu did you find it worthwhile? Any thing you feel they do particularly well? I guess I resist having my lunch turn into a game of trivial pursuit - or maybe I'm just low blood sugar! :))
I think I always ate the JC there but only because I felt overwhelmed looking through the menu. After eating it for awhile whatever they seasoned the chicken with got really old to me and now I can stand the smell of the place.
I'd call myself a fairly infrequent diner at Moe's, but when I do go, I always get the same thing - a naked Homewrecker, which is the pretty basic meat/rice/beans/lettuce/tomato etc. burrito in a bowl. While their food's not the worst in the world, I agree with you that their menu's a PITA. One of the first times I went I determined that I could live with the Homewrecker, and I haven't ordered anything other than that since, probably in no small part because I don't want to deal with their menu again.
re: Suzy Q
I have tried to look at the menu twice, both times been too tired & hungry to expend that much energy on it & went elsewhere! Steak & Shake has been my best bet at that exit, but sometimes a little variety is nice.
re: adhow
I've only eaten veggie stuff from there too, as I'm generally distrustful of fast food meat. Their tofu is really nicely seasoned, so I get a tofu burrito with lots of extra stuff.
My order tends to be on the complex side, so I completely forgo the silly menu names. I just tell them I want a burrito and I'll let them know what to put on it. Better yet, I'll write down what I want and just hand it to them.
The one thing that really annoys me about Moe's is being yelled at upon entering. "WELCOME TO MOE'S!" Arg, just gimme my food and shut up!
I go there about once a week as they're close to my office. Mostly I like them because their menu has more options than the Chipotle on the next block. I've always found it to be filling, economical and with some healthier options than you find at a lot of fast food.
I like their Art Vandalay, but I agree their menu is irritating. Mostly because it just doesn't really make any sense. Why is a taco salad called a Close Talker? What does that have remotely to do with the Seinfeld episode? You could just ask for a chicken burrito (or whatever you would like to order) and let the staff figure out which inane joke it should be labeled as.
I do like their salsas, some of them have actual hotness to them which is more than I can say for Chipotle.
I usually get their vegetarian stuff, but we had a chicken fajita bar for a party recently and the meat was pretty good, as I remember. We had a lot left over and froze it and it's been good after being thawed out and reheated.
We have a new Moe's in Plymouth, MA that I'vve been enjoying. I agree with you the first time I saw the menu the cute names where a bit much. However, I just describe what I want and the staff always provides an excellent meal no matter what I ask for and I just let them figure out what to call it when they ring in my order. It's in the new mall with Super Walmart, Red Robin, and Not Your Average joe's. It's to the right when you first enter tha mall across from DSW.
re: CapeCodChowHound
Can't stand Moe's. If I want a burrito, I'll go to Qdoba or Tijuana Flats first.. They don't have a Chipotle in my city but if they did, that would be my first choice.
re: TexSkills
Hi TexSkills,
If I want Qdoba I have to go to Boston. I was prejudiced at first knowing Jack in the Box is Qdoba's parent company, but they do have some good things on their menu. But from the Cape Moe's is well worth the trip to Plymouth Qdoba isn't worth the 90 minute drive. Do you mean Tijuana Flats in Providence?
re: CapeCodChowHound
There's a Tijuana Flats in New England? I thought they were mostly a Florida chain with a couple of outposts in Virginia and North Carolina.
re: CapeCodChowHound
Tortilla Flats is in Providence. It's pretty crappy.
re: TexSkills
Moe's offers tofu and fresh jalapenos. Can't get that at Qdoba, at least not in New England.
As a Moe's employee, I surely know the menu better than all of you. However, I simply don't understand the frustration with the names!!
Come on -- lighten up, and have a little fun with it!
Also, the menu is SO easy to figure out if you just don't worry so much about the names!
The menu has each category listed (TACOS, BURRITOS, NACHOS, etc.) very plainly.
Think about which of those you'd like to get...
Step two: READ THE INGREDIENTS! Novel idea, really.
Here's a hint: The difference between EVERYTHING on the menu is whether you are (a) getting sour cream and/or guacamole and (b) whether you are getting a veggie option or not.
For example:
BURRITOS (you can always add ANY of the following: tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, pickled jalapenos, fresh jalapenos, cilantro, red onions)
Joey: Rice, choice of meat (or tofu), choice of beans, cheese, pico (aka salsa)
Triple Lindy: Joey + choice of sour cream OR guacamole
Homewrecker: Joey + sour cream AND guacamole
Art Vandalay (veggie): Homewrecker - MEAT
Please DO NOT order a Homewrecker because you think it will be the biggest burrito.
It's surprisingly irritating during a rush to have someone order a Homewrecker, only to find they don't want sour cream or guacamole. That's a Joey. Pretty simple.
And it's not trivia. Nobody asks you what the names are from before giving you their food. If you really can't figure it out, go place your order by asking for "a chicken burrito" for example. They'll figure it out for you.
Finally, the "Welcome to Moe's!" was found to be the single most popular thing amongst Moe's eaters (according to a survey), more than the food, music, etc.
re: B2Aquary
Thanks for theclarifications B2A. Most likely those making comments above will still find these confusing because you don't just reach back and pull one off the hot shelf already wrapped to go. If they want that type of food service go to TB. I eat a Moe's regularly and find the food satisfying (the recent pulled pork option was a good alternative to the steak/chicken). However, I don't go to Moe expecting the best Mexican or Tex Mex food to wander down the pike. I go because it's quick, gives me a selection of condiments and options and the salsas have a decent kick. For a lunch to go it sure beats the burger chains.
re: crewsweeper
On my first try I found the food to be good and I liked that I could get fresh jalapeno's on my burrito, but count me in as one that detests the cutsie names and the yelling. I often drive right past Moe's but never stop for those very reasons.
re: FlippyTheRed
Maybe that's why the one in Naperville closed already, after being open only a few months!
re: B2Aquary
Moe's are frequently located in areas with a lot of offices. People tend to go there repeatedly, and as a result they figure out the menu pretty quickly. I do give them points for the condiment bar, and while the place certainly isn't gourmet Mexican food, I think it's OK for what it is. The "Welcome to Moe's!" shtick does get old pretty quick, though.

The owner of an Omaha liquor store tells Channel 6 News she's been was robbed three times in the past week.
The latest crime occurred when a man pulled a gun on an employee at 20th Street Package Liquor near 20th and Leavenworth just after 9 p.m. Friday., demanding money. The suspect ran from the store after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash.
The store was robbed a week ago Friday and again last Monday afternoon. The owner says it was two men who held up the place both times and she believes those robberies were committed by the same men.
Omaha Police Officer James Shade told Channel 6 News Saturday that surveillance video hasn't been entered into evidence yet, so they aren't sure if any of the robberies are related.
Meanwhile, police in Council Bluffs are investigating the armed robbery of Cricket Cellular at 15th and West Broadway on Friday. A man got away with cash and several cell phones.

phone free zone - will anyone listen ? 07.02.13
this is pathetic,
because it is not enforceable,
it don't matter how many traffic police,
they will never be resourceful.
danger is not a deterrent,
the phone will always have glitter,
i can not even finish this "poem",
with out filling in my "twitter".
if you are popular,
and have millions of followers at your feet,
its your duty to explain,
any "simpleton" can "tweet".
text's from lovers,
work may also be contacting,
communication is now 27-7,
where ever you are you can be reacting.
this is a money spinner,
safety is not at the cause,
hold on that's my "phone",
one sec and we can continue and un-pause.
no one is going to listen,
"points" on your licence and money to the government will accumulate,
many "offenders" are doing it now,
because even being hit in the pocket it wont educate.
( with this new law in and the new sticker to help educate drivers to not be on phone or texting or filling in the twitface thing - i just wounder will it cut down on road traffic accidents ? i personally think it is no way ever not in a million years going to work because i believe everyone is now so into telling the world what they are thinking and doing and this is a sad priority that i do believe is very vain - i supose some may say my poems are vain - and i take that and hold my hands up. but what do you think about this matter ? love to hear your thoughts.)

Achieving a professional-quality key used to require countless hours of tedious, detail-intensive work.

On Saturday, May 19, the largest pooch festival in the Midwest offers pups and the people who love them the opportunity to raise money and awareness for the Animal Cruelty Fund with a walk and afternoon festival in Forest Park.

Joe and pooch pals. Registration is $25 for adults, $5 for children age fifteen and under and free for children age three and under -- of course, furry family members get in for free. Each registrant will receive an official Bark in the Park T-shirt. For more information visit www.hsmo.org/bark.

text: I'm not sure how this thread got started but I thought I'd add my 2 cents worth. Long ago, far longer than I care to admit to, the general practice for treating bedsores in hospitals consisted of mixing egg whites and sugar or egg whites and honey and packing the bedsore with the mixture. I'm sure the theory was generally the same, give the bacteria something else to eat. Fortunately, the realm of science as fact rather than fiction has prevailed and we now acknowledge bedsores as being caused by a breakdown in the circulation to the site. I guess some old wives tales just linger on. BTW, one of the reasons you never give honey to an infant is that it is full of botulism spores that most adults can fend off, but someone with a weak or compromised immune system doesn't have a chance against. That's my understanding anyway. Grania ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

Some say it started more than a year ago: another heated drama fanned to life at the very home of heated dramas, Chiefland Fire Rescue.
Two people were arrested after they were allegedly caught in the middle of a burglary.
According to a press release, Levy County Deputies Cpl. L. Prine and K. Weatherford's rapid response to a 12-year-old's panicked phone call for help resulted in the capture of two suspects.
A Williston woman who owned an adult care home was sentenced to eight years and 10 months in prison after she pleaded to charges that she abused her clients.
For more than 227 years, the United States Constitution has served as the cornerstone of this nation's freedom and way of life.
Satire: the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
Many would agree that there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Publicity, in any form, gets your name out there and people will talk–and remember.
It took a couple of hours on Thursday and all day Friday, but by the time the weekend started the Supervisor of Elections was able to announce that former District 4 Commissioner Lilly Rooks had won the Republican nomination by a three-vote margin.
The final count: 1,728 votes for Rooks to 1,725 votes for incumbent Commissioner Ryan Bell of Chiefland. Rooks will face Democrat Jamie Griffin in the Nov. 4 general election.
It was a sweet comeback for Rooks, defeating the man who unseated her four years ago, and after suffering two strokes earlier this year.
As a scientist, Dr. Ken Sulak is trained to make observations.
He makes his living studying the ways of the natural world, with an emphasis, in recent years, on the lives of sturgeon swimming the lengths of the Suwannee River.
But his professional work over time has bled into his personal interests: observations on the lives of humans and their place in the world.
"In the course of being on the river, you run into a lot of people, a lot of old timers," Sulak said from his office at the U.S. Geological Survey last week.
Eugene Donald Jr. was found guilty of one felony count operating an unlicensed nightclub in a residential neighborhood east of Williston by a Levy County jury on Wednesday and will be sentenced on Wednesday, Sept. 3, after the Levy County's Sheriff's Office takes the opportunity to make an impact statement.
Don't think you're going to get stoned on "Spice" or "bath salts" and then play your stereo as loud as you want in Williston.
If that's on your agenda, you may want to think again because Williston Police Chief Dennis Strow has two ordinances in the works aimed at you.
At last week's city council meeting, members heard the first reading of an ordinance that strengthens the ban on the sale of synthetic substances–known by a variety of street names including Spice, K2, Black Mamba and Bombay Blue.
The Florida Highway Patrol responded to a fatal hit-and run-crash on County Road 337 and S.E. 40th Street in Levy County on Aug. 24 Information obtained during this investigation revealed the crash occurred on Aug. 23 at approximately 11 p.m.
James T. Lowman, 69, of Morriston was walking near the center of the roadway as a vehicle was traveling southbound on County Road 337. The vehicle struck Lowman propelling him onto the east shoulder of the roadway where he died due to his injuries. The vehicle then left the scene.

Public officials rolled up their sleeves in the fight against hunger in Southwest Virginia. They were in Abingdon to volunteer at "Feeding America Southwest Virginia".
The idea is to create a movement throughout the region that has a lasting impact on the efforts to feed more people than ever before. They hope by seeing people helping it will also encourage others to lend a hand.
Last year the food bank helped 122,000 people each month in 26 different counties throughout Southwest Virginia.

Top 10 Pranks to Play on Your College Roommate
2013's Top Pranks
Aside from the occasional Florida spring break bash, college is all about getting serious, studying like mad, soaking up knowledge and focusing on the future. Right? Tell that to the countless pranksters that roam the dorm hallways long after they should be asleep, plotting their next devious move. After all, college just isn't college without pulling (or being the target of) a couple of good pranks!
If you're having trouble coming up with a worthy prank -- and since this is obviously not one of the questions to ask an academic adviser -- we're here to help. You can thank us after the screaming stops.
10 Ridiculously Awesome Pranks to Pull on Your Dorm Mates
10) The Party Starter.
For this prank, you will need hundreds of cheap balloons and several friends with really good lungs. Blow up the balloons and toss them into the room until it's a virtual sea of pretty colors, like the lovely prank depicted in this video. If you want to add some pizazz, invest in a small bottle of helium so some of the balloons will cover the ceiling, too. Finally, hide under the balloons so that when the initial shock wears off, you can jump out and startle them.
9) The Power of the Press.
Got a roommate who adores technology? You know the type -- they have their textbooks on their laptop and they take notes on their iPad. They need more paper in their life, so go old school with the newspaper prank. Crumple up thousands of pieces of newspaper, and then stack them all in their room. If you're lucky, they just might get in the spirit and jump right in, as the good sport in this video did.
8) The Collapsing Bed.
If you have a dorm room with bunk beds, you're in for a treat with this crazy trick that will be sure to elicit a few good stories (not to mention a curse word or two). Unhook the supports for the upper mattress, so that when your roommate goes to climb up on their bed, they will wind up on the bottom bunk instead. The only caveat: Be sure you're in the room to watch this one, because it's not the safest of pranks, as this video shows.
7) The Impromptu Shower.
Speaking of water fun, who doesn't want their own personal water park? You can give that special someone a slippery surprise by creating an over-the-door water dump. This video shows you how to create a trip wire that will catch unsuspecting hall mates by complete surprise. Have plenty of towels ready!
6) The Red Sea.
Come on -- we all know what those red solo cups are usually used for. Make a more honest use of them by filling them with water and carefully placing them side by side down the hallway for a watery mess that will annoy every person on the floor. You can also just target a single room, as the gentlemen in this video did. That's an epic prank of 775 solo cups filled halfway with water. If you're in the mood to be nice, leave a fresh new mop hanging on the back of their door. They're going to need it.
5) The Duct Tape Prison.
It's been said that anything can be built, repaired or made better with duct tape. This prank takes that idea to a whole new level. When your hall mates go into their room for an extended period of time, quietly place duct tape over the door. When they open the door, they get a face full of adhesive, as this video shows. After the fun is over, be a good neighbor and help them bust through the tape to freedom.
4) The Endless Reminder.
Post-it notes are great ways to remind yourself of everything from assignments due in foreign language class to that hot date (as if you would forget the latter!). So remind your favorite roommate of anything and everything with his or her very own blizzard of Post-it notes. Need some inspiration? Check out this video of a Post-it masterpiece that took twelve hours, six guys -- and an astounding 13,000 Post-it notes.
3) The Birthday Gift.
One of the coolest parts of a birthday is presents, of course. Especially if those presents are wrapped up neatly in pretty paper and bows. Give your roommate an impromptu birthday party by waiting until they go away for a weekend, then wrapping every one of their possessions. Save money by going with butcher paper, or take notes from this video and wrap it all with aluminum foil. (This is especially good for conspiracy theorist roommates -- you are giving them plenty of material for tin foil hats!)
2) The Poltergeist.
Mischievous little poltergeists are known for moving things around. So create your own ghost story by creeping into the room after the victim goes to class and proceed to move everything -- and we do mean everything. Put the printer under the bed, turn the mattress on its side and put their shoes in drawers. This video has a whole host of ideas for how to rearrange someone's stuff to get a priceless reaction.
1) The Tower of Aluminum Terror.
When someone is holed up in their room studying, use that ample time to create a tower of cans against their door. Use strips of tape to prevent the cans from falling over as you take the tower higher and higher. Here's a video that offers a great example of how to make the ultimate tower. Only one caveat: Be very quiet about this unless you know that the person inside wears headphones when studying!
From bubble wrap taped to the floor to super glue on the toothpaste cap, there are dozens of ways to prank someone in your college dorm. Just remember to keep it light and fun and never engage in pranks that could actually hurt anyone or destroy their property. In the end, you will never look at balloons, duct tape, red solo cups or even newspapers in the same way again -- and you will have yet another cool story to tell when those college glory days are over.
2012's Top Pranks
Dorm living and pranks go together like duct tape and confetti. (Trust us!) It is almost as if all those underwear heists and misappropriated fire extinguishers make up for a life marked by cramped quarters and questionable dining hall food. College pranks are a great way to blow off steam, not to mention crack a few smiles. You don't have to be an engineering major to craft a great prank -- you just need a little creativity and a whopping heap of deviousness. Need some inspiration? These top 10 pranks to play on your college roommate can get the ball (and the prank war) rolling.
10 dorm room pranks that (probably) won't get you arrested
1. Foiled again
Roommate away for the weekend? Pass the time by wrapping all of his or her personal items individually in foil. If it is a holiday weekend, make things festive by using wrapping paper. It will take some time, but the effect is well worth it!
2. A slick trick
Tired of your roommate hogging all the hot water? Replace his or her shampoo with baby oil for a slippery surprise. Add a large amount of food coloring for a vibrant effect.
3. Sink to a new low
If you are fortunate enough to have a shared kitchen, tie a rubber band around your sink sprayer's handle so that your roommate gets drenched the next time he or she turns on the faucet.
4. Knock, knock
Dorm living a little cramped? Take advantage of the building's overly-efficient layout by tying two doorknobs together from across the hall. Knock on both doors and flee the scene. As an added bonus, you've also just launched a limbo party in the hall.
5. Phone it in
Swipe your roommate's phone and change your personal ring tone to something embarrassing, then call him or her during class or a hot date. Potential songs include "I'm Too Sexy," "Ice, Ice Baby" and anything by the Spice Girls.
6. Wrap it up
Sick of your roommate coming in late every night? A little plastic wrap over the toilet seat should do the trick, especially first thing in the morning when he or she is too groggy to notice.
7. A sticky situation
If your superglue fund isn't at least half of your book fund, you are missing half the fun of dorm living. Think: books glued shut (avoid the pricey text books though!), soda cans stuck together, and toothpaste or deodorant caps that just won't budge.
8. All tied up
Tie your heavy sleeper of a roommate to the bed with bungee cord -- just be on hand in case of an emergency.
9. Fill 'er up
Fill your roommate's car (or cabinets) with balloons, popcorn or those annoying Styrofoam peanuts. Earn extra points by tying cans to the muffler.
10. You've got to move it, move it
Move all your roommates furniture in one direction about an inch each day then see how long it takes him or her to notice.
Reel it in, Captain
Good natured pranks are a great distraction from your coursework, especially during finals week when stress levels are high. One prank typically leads to another, however, and before you know it you are pushing the line. Try to set boundaries and acknowledge when enough is enough. The Web is filled with tales of college pranks that resulted in harm, criminal charges or worse. So the next time you find yourself knee-deep in shaving cream eyeing your roommate's snazzy -- and ridiculously expensive -- new laptop, take a step back and remember that this is the perfect time to use your good judgment. Isn't that what college is all about anyway?

Earlier this week, our colleague Lisa Huriash told you about efforts to expand Ben Gamla, which has as its flagship a kindergarten through eighth grade campus in Hollywood. There was a brouhaha when the Hebrew-language charter school opened two years ago. Folks questioned if you could teach Hebrew without teaching Judaism.

CARLISLE, MA, 10/12/09 — Within the span of five days the South Pacific was been devastated by a string of natural disasters. Hands On Disaster Response (HODR) is on the ground in Indonesia and the Samoan Islands, and has launched a fundraising appeal to support the recovery efforts. HODR, a recently accepted National VOAD Member, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that harnesses the power of volunteers to bring direct assistance to survivors of natural disasters both in the US and around the world.
The organization's South Pacific Disaster Recovery Fund aims to raise $250,000 toward the recovery efforts following the recent series of disasters.
"There's a tremendous amount of suffering in the South Pacific right now after the recent string of disasters. Fortunately, we have experience in two of the affected areas having run successful campaigns to address the needs in 2006 following a super-typhoon in the Philippines and an earthquake in Indonesia," says Marc Young, International Operations Director for HODR.
HODR projects organize volunteer work to meet the unique needs of the community, and can include everything from debris removal to rebuilding homes and schools. On the organization's 2006 deployment to the Philippines volunteers rebuilt and renovated elementary school and daycare facilities, built fishing boats to restore the livelihood of fishing villages, and dug out nearly 150 homes buried by the mudflows. HODR's 2006 Indonesian earthquake response mainly focused on rubble removal and salvaging materials, which residents quickly used to rebuild.
South Pacific Tsunami
On September 29 a powerful 8.0 earthquake created a series of tsunami waves that struck American Samoa, Western Samoa, and a small northern island in Tonga. Some of the waves are estimated to have been as high as 6 meters (more than 19 feet) high, and initial estimates show that as many as 15,000 people have been affected.
Sumatra Earthquake
On September 30 a devastating 7.6 earthquake struck the Indonesian island of Sumatra and within 24 hours a second earthquake of magnitude 7.0 hit, causing further damage on the stricken island.
HODR assessment teams in both the Samoan Islands and Indonesia are meeting with local officials, visiting affected areas and evaluating the recovery needs in order to determine further involvement and the potential for volunteer projects.

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. An easy Australian snack that can be served anytime, but is usually part of morning or afternoon tea. It would also work well for breakfast or lunch or a casual party appetizer (like a football game). I've substituted veggie bacon and low-fat cheddar for regular but you can use regular if you prefer. It has an interesting ingredient, relish, that gave it a unique taste. Found it on the internet at an Australian recipe site. No. of servings assume 2 slices of bread per person.

According to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, the pilot flew the helicopter to one location (about 100 feet above sea level) where three adult passengers boarded, then flew to a landing pad at an elevation of 1,391 feet above sea level. According to the pilot, after one recognition pass, she began a "confined pinnacle approach." While on short final, the pilot decided to go around and added power, but the helicopter "did not respond accordingly." The low rotor rpm horn sounded and the low rotor rpm light illuminated. The pilot noted "no airspeed, no altitude," and continued to an "emergency landing." Upon touchdown, with the right skid partially off the landing pad, the helicopter rolled over to the left, resulting in damage to the rotor system and tail boom. The pilot also stated that the winds were calm and that the outside air temperature gauge indicated 24 degrees Centigrade. She further noted that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the helicopter.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

What were you using before? What makes Spring Data REST better?
Thanks for sharing!
jhiemer replied ago:
I have been using it now for nearly fours weeks (started two days after M1 release) and I am really satisfied with it. There were some minor problems in the beginnings, which have been fixed by Jonathan Brisbin immediately. Communication to him is great, very responsive, open for ideas and constructive criticism. (Example: https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-data-rest/issues/11, as you can see I am heavily working with it :-).
Regarding your questions here are my answers:
>If so, how and why?
We have a REST interface running besides our Web Portal, which supplies information for a service running elsewhere, in some cases thousands of kilometers away. After discussing the design in the early stages of the project, we decided to go with REST as it is scalable and very reliable due its simple architecture. In the first release, we implemented the REST interface with Spring 3.0 on our own. Shortly after release of Spring Data REST M1, I created a parallel project using Spring Data REST. And what can I tell you? I could close the gap to the existing project significantly. Only 10% are open and need to be developed.

Spring MVC 3.0/3.1
>What makes Spring Data REST better?
Here is my list of what I think makes Spring Data REST better:
- In correlation with Spring Data JPA implementation and usage is a no-brainer
- It removes a LOT of boiler plate code, which would have to be maintained
- It provides all the functionality regarding validation and security I need so far
- It provides the cleanest HATEOAS interface I have ever used. :-)
- You can actively support development process with ideas and improvements
One disadvantage at the end:
- So far the implementation only supports JSON/URI-LIST as datatypes. XML is missing but will follow.
If you would like to know more, feel free to ask. ,

I appreciate you sharing your particular experience in detail.
You've motivated me to delve deeper into both Spring Data JPA and REST.

Hi jhiemer,
The absence of xml is a killer for me. I am looking thru the current documentation (RC1), and I have not yet found xml support. Do you know if it exists or is actively under development for a quick maintenance release? If so, can you point me to how to use it? Thx.

Hi kbwelker,
currently XML support is not implemented. Looking at code shows, that data is returned via ModelAndView. So sticking to samples in Spring MVC it might be possible, that Jon implements XML in future. That's all I know.
Jon is currently on holidays as far as I know. Perhaps oliver.gierke knows more details.

Thanks for the answer. I posted on the Spring Data forum too, so maybe Jon or Oliver will respond there.

Xml will *not* be supported in 1.0.0, for decent reasons, to be flushed out after folks have had some time to use the GA release for a while.
