Gig Harbor House Rental Photos and Description
4 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, 9 Sleeps Center Of It All With Stunning Views
Also check out our other Gig Harbor vacation rental: http://www.vrbo.com/preview/384260
We have finished a full remodel/renovation of this historic home within walking distance of everything Gig Harbor has to offer. It used to be a bus depot in the 20's and a fire station in the 60's!
Our home is located right in the center of it all. Looking directly at Gig Harbor Bay and Mt. Rainier. The view is picturesque! This home's central location makes it a perfect rental for your next stay in Gig Harbor. It is located right on Gig Harbor's main walking path and next to several restaurants; Anthony's, award winning JW's restaurant, Morso Wine Bar, Devoted Kiss breakfast and lunch, Marketplace Grille, and Finholms Deli. Within a quarter mile are kayak, paddle board and boat rentals, Donkey Creek park, the city park and boat launch, and the Gig Harbor History Museum. There is also a small marketplace a few doors down. The location is perfect and you could easily walk to everything.
The house is within one mile is the local Gig Harbor public dock and park where summer concerts and events are held. Also, the world famous Tides Tavern and Green Turtle waterfront fine dining.
The house has been fully renovated. Everything is brand new inside with high quality linens and beds and free WiFi. The decor has a retro vibe and embraces the home's age and unique architecture. The house was a bus barn in the 1920-30's.
The main living area has a huge kitchen with a retro kitchen table for four. It is fully equipped and if you find something you need please let us know and we will provide it! There is a glass dining room with six chairs that looks right at the amazing view. An adjacent living room has lots of seating and above the fireplace is a new 50' TV with cable and a DVD player.
There is a full bath on the main and three bedrooms. The largest has a California King and is adjacent to the bathroom. The vintage bathroom has been refurbished including the pink fixtures and existing chandelier to embrace the homes roots.
The other bedroom includes a queen bed and ample storage. The third bedroom on the main level has a lofted double bed with a twin bed underneath.
On the bottom floor we have a King bed and another TV/family room area and table and chairs. There is another full bathroom downstairs.
The view at the house is senstational but it also means the majority of the living space is on the 2nd level. The entry is through the outside stairs and there are interior (steep) stairs as well. For more questions email me!
There are some parking limitations for this property so please contact the owner with the number and size of vehicles for your stay.
There is a small grassy yard behind the house and a patio right off the kitchen. All facing the incredible view this home has to offer.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Krista,
I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home and space. That place was so beautiful and amazing. Honestly, I didn't really want to leave! Also, thanks for the hook up with your babysitters, they all seem great. The toy closet was also a hit.
Thank you,

PS. Below is the full picture I used for the Group photo. It's a chocolate store/cafe in Mexico. Those are stone mills (the kind Taza uses) to the right of the guy with his back to you in the blue shirt and notice that they are selling beans. The stone mills suggest that this store is located in Oaxaca.

I'm Samson from Tbilisi/Georgia. I'm new here, need a help of experienced people. :)
Planning to start a small shop selling organic raw cocoa beans, nibs, cocoa powder. But the problem is that Georgia (Republic of) it's a South Caucasus region)) is very far from cocoa origin countries, so we have a problem with source and transportation.
Can anybody recommend who can supply me with cocoa raw organic beans, nibs and cocoa powder in small quantities (100-150 kg. approximately)? May be directly from farm, if it is possible?.. But no middlemen, please!
Please advice me if you know where I can start searching or may be you are the person I'm looking for.
Thanks a lot for help to All!

Thanks for taking your time to share, Milford! Much appreciated.
Hello! I am new to the chocolate world and Chocolate Life, I am starting an online chocolate business with the goal of having a shop this coming January. I'm still working on my website, it should be up in a couple of weeks. Everything is a learning experience for me...this week I'm learning about true food photographers. Since I don't have a shop it's important my photos say "bite me." I've learned so much from Chocolate Life so far, it's my first Go To place whenever I have a question: such as the best way to ship chocolate in the summer. I learned that one after I received two boxes of "chocolate soup". I said "Yikes" I would NEVER want this to happen to chocolate I've shipped. Everything is a learning experience! Looking forward. -Linda Johnson
Thank you for sharing the info on the Savage table - most informative -
Hi! I've been obsessed with finding the nutrition in chocolate and that has led me into the whole world of cacao. It began as a hobby and now I'd like to turn chocolate into my career. I'm experimenting with bean-to-bar methods and plan to visit some cacao farms soon. Excited to connect with all the experts in this group!
Hello, I started a chocolate blog a while back called Little Brown Squares and recently attended Madre's Cacao Bootcamp and am taking the plunge into making my own bean to bar chocolate! I'm starting very, very small and still experimenting a lot, and am very focused on growing and fermentation techniques in addition to the myriad of issues turning raw cacao into bars. I'm going to be traveling to Guatemala next week to check out several farms, including one an old friend took over called Izabal Agroforest, and will be traveling to the Dominican Republic after that to meet with CONACADO and other co-ops there. I'm really looking forward to getting things off the ground in a small yet meaningful way.

The now old GSX-R was an exceptional bike, winning AMA and world endurance titles and narrowly missing out on a BSB title. Suzuki have simply improved the weak points, namely better brakes, more midrange, lighter handling with a few cosmetic tweaks, which in the end produces an exceptional road bike with real world manners. It may lack sophisticated traction control ...

Suzuki have played around with the GSX1300R Hayabusa's styling without losing the original's looks and character, as a result the new Suzuki Hayabusa looks really sleek.

The verdict is still up in the air regarding the futuristic, dynamic looks of the Suzuki B-King. It seems you either hate it or love it. What can be said for sure is the B-King is very fast, enough to match a sports 1000. It's just a shame it's restricted to 150mph. The B-King is a lovely road motorcycle, has ...

Ultra fast, capable track missile that works far better on the road then you'd imagine. The MK II Suzuki GSX-R1000 (K3-K4) thou is smaller and more compact than the Suzuki GSX-R1000 K1-K2 models. It's easier to flick around race tracks but, bizarrely, the Suzuki GSX-R1000 makes an acceptable one-man sports tourer too.
1402cc, 105bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 14
Biggest and blingiest of the retros. Plus the Suzuki GSX1400's engine's got the most low down torque by a decent margin. If you want a 70s style motorbike that'll do everything except cruise at illegal speeds or lap race tracks at a searing pace the GSX1400 is well worth a look.

The first Suzuki GSX-R1000 set new superbike standards in 2001, the second one did it again in 2003 and this, the third full Suzuki GSX-R1000 update, went straight back to the top of the superbike tree in 2005 and stayed there, pretty much ever since. The reasons for the Suzuki GSX-R1000's dominance are simple. Sublime, lithe ergonomics and handling, radical ...
1299cc, 175bhp, 190mph, Insurance group 15
The original Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa is still one seriously quick motorcycle, possessed of enormous acceleration and breathtaking top speed. True, the GSX1300R Hayabusa doesn't quite handle all that power (and weight) too brilliantly sometimes, but it remains a supremely comfortably long range missile, that always delivers a shot of raw adrenaline. Latest version is better yet.

|From the photo one can see that two stars stand out from the rest in this constellation. Those two stars are Betelguese (red) and Rigel (blue-white). Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis) is 427 light-years away from earth. It is a semi regular variable star. Betelgeuse is a red giant star. It is red because it has a fairly low surface temperature for a star (2400 Kelvin). It is 6 million years old. It is the second brightest in the Orion constellation and the tenth brightest in the sky. Betelgeuse is 15 times more massive than the sun. If it were placed at the center of our solar system, its outer surface would extend well beyond the orbit of the Earth. Astronomers predict that it will ultimately undergo a type two supernova explosion. Which means that eventually Betelgeuse will become a Neutron star. A Neutron star is the very strong super dense remains of a supernova with a center core of pure neutrons.
is a super giant. It is the brightest star
in Orion and shines with approximately
40,000 times the luminosity of the sun. Rigel
is located 773 light-years away from the earth. It
is the seventh brightest star in the sky
and is believed to be a triple star that is orbited by Rigel B and
C. Rigel is a blue-white color because of its surface temperature
of about 11,000 Kelvin. The sun has a surface temperature of
about 5800 Kelvin!
|Another important object of the Orion constellation is the Orion nebula (left). This nebula is 1500 light-years from the earth. The Orion nebula is actually made up of two types of nebulas: emission nebula and reflection nebula. An emission nebula is a high temperature gas cloud that is red because of hydrogen and is usually the site of star formation. A reflection nebula is a cloud of dust that reflects light of near by stars and looks blue. The Orion nebula is the nearest formation region for stars to the earth. Because of this it is possible to view from earth small regions of the nebula that seem to be on the verge of collapsing into new stars.

As unsigned point guard Tim Hardaway continues to vent over his status, agent Henry Thomas admitted Monday "there is some legitimacy" to the Heat's delay in re-signing his client.
Because of long-term salary-cap concerns, the Heat first needs to know its sign-and-trade deal for Portland free-agent power forward Brian Grant will be finalized before it can deal with Hardaway. Mark Bartelstein, Grant's agent, said Monday of that deal, "We're hoping something can be resolved by the end of this week."

Cubs exhale: Anthony Rizzo only bruises knee
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com June 12, 2012 11:30PM
Updated: July 14, 2012 6:45AM
Anthony Rizzo was diagnosed with only a bruised knee after a collision with a fence during a game in Iowa.
Rizzo, the slugging first baseman who might be promoted by the end of the month, was hurt making a sliding attempt on a foul pop in the sixth inning against Class AAA Omaha and left the game.
The Cubs say he's not seriously hurt, and he's considered day-to-day.
''He bumped his knee. … He'll be OK,'' Iowa manager Dave Bialas told the Des Moines Register.
Rizzo leads the Pacific Coast League with 22 home runs and is hitting .367.
James who?
The guy who replaces Rudy Jaramillo as the Cubs' interim hitting coach is a former minor-league outfielder with 11 years of experience as a hitting instructor who was targeted by Cubs player development boss Jason McLeod soon after the new front office took over.
After receiving permission from the New York Yankees to interview their minor-league hitting coordinator for the same position in Chicago and talking to him during the winter meetings in December, the Cubs' brass had ''all the evidence we needed'' to know the impressive background information it had received was valid.
''He was really organized and had thorough knowledge of their hitting system,'' team president Theo Epstein said. ''He was very articulate, very engaging, showed an ability to connect with the modern player and understood the role, understood the overall hitting approach that we wanted because it's also what he wants. It was just a good fit.''
James Rowson, 35, said he was similarly impressed by the ''vision'' of the Cubs' front office.
''I was really sold on the direction of the organization; I was really excited,'' he said. ''We were talking about really doing some things at the minor-league level to kind of get guys at the right time going in the right direction. …
''Obviously, I'm real happy to be here [at the big-league level], but at the same time, you think about a guy like Rudy. I learned a lot from him. He's really been a class act and done a lot for the game. Hopefully, I look to be able to make half the imprint he's made in the game.''
Hip, hip Jorge?
Not quite yet. Epstein said it could be a week before the signing of touted Cuban outfield prospect Jorge Soler gets done and he joins the organization.
''I can't really address anything until it's official,'' Epstein said of the 20-year-old outfielder who agreed to a nine-year, $30 million deal.
''In this case, it's usually a process where there's an agreement, then there's a term sheet, then there's an immigration process getting visas and then there's a physical. … Sometimes that's days, sometimes weeks. Hopefully, it'll be around a week.''
Epstein said a number of picks from last week's draft have agreed to terms pending physicals, but No. 6 overall pick Albert Almora isn't one of them.
''We've talked briefly, but that process will hopefully pick up here in the coming days,'' he said. Baseball's deadline for signing draft picks is July 13.
Missouri State right-hander Pierce Johnson, a supplemental first-rounder (43rd overall), agreed to terms Monday.
◆ Catcher Geovany Soto (knee) doubled as the designated hitter for Iowa during a minor-league rehab start. He's expected to be in the lineup defensively Wednesday.

BBC Responds to 50th Complaints
The BBC has responded to criticisms over the perceived lack of advertising for the 50th anniversary special.
The broadcaster moved to assure fans this weekend on the official Facebook page, writing:
We can assure you our 50th celebrations will in no way be muted -- we'll have details soon but for now, trust us! You won't miss our celebrations, promise.
Asked specifically about the 50th anniversary trailer on Twitter:
"Oh we're going to give you so much more than a trailer… patience. It's worth the wait -- we promise."
The BBC also released a trailer for their upcoming drama line-up and although Doctor Who is missing, it features a glimpse of Peter Capaldi in The Musketeers. Capaldi plays the villainous Cardinal Richelieu in the latest adaptation, due in 2014.
The trailer also features David Tennant in The Escape Artist. And for Sherlock fans there's a tease of Series 3.
Watch the BBC Original British Drama trailer:

The Phillies were quietly going about their business until Tuesday afternoon when Roy Halladay turned in a clunker against the Tigers. In 2 2/3 innings, Halladay allowed seven runs on six hits and four walks. He also allowed 11 of the 18 hitters he faced to reach base.
Not good.
Regardless, Halladay chalked up the clunker to a more intense throwing program and said he felt a bit lethargic when he took the mound.
As Halladay told CSN's Jim Salisbury in Clearwater:
"I was really lethargic," he said. "Warming up it was as good as it has been all year. Once we got out there (in the game) it was completely different. I think it's just that time of spring. You're going all the time. We had an extra day so I threw two bullpens in between, and you're trying to work on as much stuff as you can. So I really feel that kind of caught up with me today."
It happens. If that's the case, then it's no big deal. A day to recoup and rest ought to do the trick. Sure, the velocity on Halladay's pitches are not what they used to be, but then again, he turns 36 in May. As an athlete, Halladay is slightly past his prime though far from finished. And as a major league pitcher, Halladay simply is in the stage of his career where he will be making adjustments. While the so-called power pitchers like Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver could continue to fire away into their 40s, Halladay will rely on his secondary pitches more. In fact, after his second spring outing in Tampa this month Halladay said he had been throwing his curveball earlier than usual.
After Tuesday's clunker, Halladay said he felt no soreness. As Salisbury wrote:
"The good part is there's no soreness. Nothing hurts. And I'll trade that any day of the week, feeling lethargic over being sore like last spring training."
Again, it happens. Is there cause for concern? Sure. Halladay isturning 36 and headed into his 16th big league season. He's had injuries before, including the one last season where MRI results showed "changes" in his rotator cuff.
However, if there truly is something more to Halladay's bad outing and he's hurt, the Phillies know they cannot afford it. Last season the spate of injuries left the Phillies with a wasted season.
In the meantime, Cliff Lee will take the mound against the Yankees in Tampa in a rare spring 7:05 p.m. start.

- Just okayOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/26/2014I was so disappointed. I had heard good things about Park Central. I found the menu to be very limited for dinner. However for lunch the menu was good. I feel that their wait staff was very inexperienced. The young people were polite enough but not especially friendly or knowledgable about the restaurant business. This would have to be the fault of management, training is a necessity that should be constantly updated. Oh well many other places to choose from.Special Features:

To date, the food will not disappoint but hasn't impressed us. As for the service, it is considerate and cheerful. Its a large facility and my thinking is that it must have a thriving dinner / bar crowd, and with the 2 rooms for gatherings, a busy special occasions business.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Dessert was brought to our table and it was 4 small cubes of a dry, tasteless bread pudding on a wooden board. Our table of 4 were very disappointed, especially since we had notified the Park Central Tavern that we would be celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary for one couple and an 82 birthday for another person. (Note - I mentioned this both on my Open Table reservation and to the Hostess prior to seating). No acknowledgement was made to our table of either of these momentous occasions. Very disappointing. I informed the manager as we left and all he could say was, "I'm sorry."

- Nice Experience!TriciaDDined on 8/30/2014We tried this based on an Open Table suggestion and we had a very nice experience. The building is beautiful and interesting and has a lot of character. The ambiance in the restaurant is welcoming, relaxing and high end without being stuffy. There is also a fairly large and nice outdoor dining area, although we ate indoors. We ordered three completely different meals and all of us enjoyed them. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. Nice service too. What's not to like? We'll be back!Special Features:

They catered to specific dietary needs, the food was delicious, the ambiance was nice but I wish we sat outside. I highly recommend the truffle risotto. YUM!!!!!!!!! The servers were very professional, and polite, we never felt rushed, and even was timed perfectly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/3/2014We were a group of 8 and when we arrived the restaurant was fairly empty because we had a reservation on the early side. The service was sub-par which we found surprising because we all had heard great things about this restaurant. The food was good overall but dessert seemed to be the highlight.
- Always very goodKennyVIPDined on 5/23/2014Perhaps my 5th time here. Reliably great food and service. Have always sat in the bar area. It's very lively and more to my liking compared to the almost-too-quiet dining rooms.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food/worth the priceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/18/2014Park Central Tavern was a really great find. I went for a special occasion and was very satisfied. The food was great and well worth the money. The servers were very attentive. There is outdoor dining too, but it wasn't warm enough to eat outside. I highly recommend the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Graduation BrunchKayJayDined on 5/18/2014Finely prepared food, varied menu, and attentive service made for a wonderful graduation brunch. We were expecting a dinner menu but were all pleased with the brunch menu. Noisy enough to comfortably talk at your table. Would definitely recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ServiceFoodieDined on 5/11/2014Mother'd Day dinner for 5 and I'd never been here before. The food was very good except for my father in law's sirloin, which was a bit tough and very salty. He had already eaten half of it because he didn't want to complain but after he made a comment we tried it and agreed. We mentioned it to the waiter. He was so nice about it - insisted on taking it back and had a new one made for him. The new steak was perfect. I have to admit the choices from the Mother's Day menu were dry so they must have been pre-cooked or something but the items from the regular menu were very good and I would go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't offer promotionsOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/10/2014I brought a living social coupon and when I went to use it the server became agitated stating " I'm so glad we stopped this stupid promotion, I hate these coupons". Prior to his rude remarks our service was rushed and we never had the opportunity to order a second drink. The duck nachos and DLT were superb. Although we didn't care for the strawberry shortcake dessert. Don't offer promotions for your restaurant if you're going to push away potential new customers with them. I wouldn't return solely for this reason. Too bad because the food and drinks were good.
- Poor customer ServiceDiningreviewerDined on 5/10/2014Upon entering restaurant, two greeters were studying a computer screen, no one looked up. I said something must be interesting-Reply- we are very busy tonight-That's great, I am a customer - greet me and make me feel welcome! It went downhill from here. Sat at dirty bar to wait for table- after the "greeters" told me they could not seat us because we were early,which I knew, we planned on having drinks at bar first. Negative response instead of positive Waiter was haughty - absolutely no reason to be as all he did was rush around and provide excuses for poor service."they always blame the waiter, when it's the kitchen".Not my problem, again I am here to enjoy my dinner. Food served cold - taken back re-served. Bad night- won't be back soon.Special Features:
- Excellent restaurantSuperDaveDined on 5/7/2014Park Central is a great place for a meal. Whether it's dinner or a visit to the bar for a bite to eat, all dishes are perfectly prepared and delicious. This time we had dinner, and the food is great. I only gave food 4 stars because it is a bit pricey, but you do get great food. If price is a concern, the bar menu is very good.Special Features:
- Good FoodAsh3Dined on 5/3/2014I went with my fiance and another couple Saturday night. The food was really good, the portions were huge and the service was great. We will go back soon and recommend this for other friends :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mitchellVIPDined on 4/29/2014…never disappointed…best salads, pressed chicken, burgers, wings or pasta. Can't go wrong with a quick dinner or a full 3 course meal...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beef overdoneNHDiner65Dined on 4/29/2014We have eaten here several times and have always had a good experience, as we did this time as well. We ate in the dining room, not the bar, because it is much quieter. Three of us ordered the filet mignon ($28) and we all asked for medium rare. All three were overdone to at least a medium. If we hadn't been with friends, I would have sent it back. That being said, it was delicious. The fourth person ordered salmon which was outstanding. The service was very good also. We will definitely go back.Special Features:
- The Curse of the Solo DinerRevleeVIPDined on 4/20/2014I very much enjoy dining alone, but I've never quite gotten used to the way single diners are often treated. I was sentenced to the back corner-most table in the room. There were plenty of others available. I had to ask for a napkin & fork, then for the bread which appeared to be served to everyone else without asking. I also had to ask for pepper which was not on my table. The horseradish asked for when ordered, I had to ask for again. All in all, lunch was very tasty, the prime rib being somewhat less warm than I thought it should have been -- much like the lamb I had here at Christmas; though in both cases the meats were delicious. It's a pleasant place, I will give it another try. I'll come with an entourage next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very goodJeff91Dined on 4/19/2014Great service. Very romantic setting. The buttermilk fried chicken is delicious and I recommend any first timer to try that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Small Portions - Service lackingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/19/2014We were seated in one of the two dining rooms. The decor is beautiful and inviting. The food was delicious but the entree portions were on the small side. Our waiter seemed busy/preoccupied. We asked for a second round of drinks but they were never delivered. If I returned, it would probably only be to go to the bar side of the restaurant.Special Features:
- A Favorite Spot.RustyDined on 4/18/2014I am very impressed with Park Central. The menu is varied and has staples that you are glad to see when going out to eat: Duck Confit, Lobster Roll, Steak Frites, etc. All are outstanding and done with a flair that is foodie worthy. This is a favorite place of mine, and I will return. The atmosphere is very welcoming.Special Features:

Tommy Hilfiger Buys Nicki Minaj a $37,000 Rolex For Being His Guest at Met Gala
To have someone specifically request to dress you for the Met Gala (a.k.a. fashion's biggest night and the most major red carpet of the year) is quite the honor, but some designers are taking it a step further and treating celebrities to lavish gifts. Case in point: Nicki Minaj, who's being outfitted for the celebration of the new exhibit "Punk: Chaos to Couture" by Tommy Hilfiger.
In order to thank Minaj for her presence on the big night at his table, Hilfiger gifted her a Rolex Oyster 41 mm Day-Date II watch in Everose gold that retails for a whopping $37,000. He sent the amazing piece of jewelry to her hotel room with a note simply stating, "To Nicki — XO – Tommy," which she put a photograph of on Twitter.
Well, damn. Talk about a lucky gal. Not only does the rapper get to rock what we can only imagine will be awesome punk-themed duds, she now has a fabulous five-figure keepsake that she can wear on her wrist whenever she wants to remember the fun she's going to have tonight.
Zooey Deschanel, Lily Aldridge, and Kings of Leon-frontman Caleb Followill are also guests of Hilfiger's tonight, though no word on whether they also got a watch.
Yes, it really is good to be a celeb.
What do you think of Hilfiger's gift to Minaj?

Writing adequate file paths in lxr.conf is a bit cumbersome but is the key to a faultless configuration: when to write absolute paths? when to write relative paths? what is the origin of relative paths?
To answer these questions, one must understand how the different files paths are used.
LXR relies on:
File references from pure HTML code can be
written HTML-absolute
(starting with a slash
or HTML-relative (no initial slash).
So-called HTML-absolute references are relative to DocumentRoot, while HTML-relative start from the directory of the current document (omitting the partial path between DocumentRoot and this directory).
Note that the "current document" may not exist if the pure HTML code is embedded in a dynamically generated page. Depending on the web server, it may or it may not be the script file. Due to this uncertainty, HTML-absolute form should be used in dynamic pages.
With some complex web server configurations
(e.g. a server with AliasMatch rules to a
directory distinct from DocumentRoot),
neither paradigm is sufficient without help of
<base> information in the headers of the page.
This HTML tag tells the web server how to resolve HTML-relative
To anticipate complex configuration,
LXR systematically emits a
<base> entity
rooted at the LXR root directory.
Perl scripts are executed in their own environment. They know from which directory they were invoked, but this one has no implied relationship with DocumentRoot. To avoid as much as possible OS-absolute paths (which would prevent easy relocation of the scripts), they use a feature by which files are referenced relative to the script directory (called the LXR root directory in other pages of this site). These references will be called LXR-relative.
These auxiliary programs are stored really anywhere in the computer, totally unaware of the web server, Perl or LXR. They are also executed as independant processes. The only way of designating them is to use OS-absolute paths.
Now, we can classify the file parameters.
Since these parameters are used virtually in any page whose location is unpredictable, you are strongly advised to use an HTML-absolute form for their designation. You must then move the file/directory under the DocumentRoot hierarchy if it is not the same as the LXR root directory (which can be the case if you want LXR to be a subpart of a wider site, not its own dedicated site).
Alternatively, leave the file/directory under the LXR root directory
and use an HTML-relative form.
Thanks to the
<base> resolution,
HTML-relative and LXR-relative forms happen to be the same.
'stylesheet' 'alternate_stylesheet'
copied in a
<LINK REL="alternate stylesheet" … >
tag of the page
<HEAD> section,
which means you may have to move the lxr.css

directory containing the file-type icons.
'html*' '*head' '*tail'
All templates are read by the LXR Perl scripts and internally processed to emit afterwards pure HTML code.

'glimpsebin' 'glimpseindex' 'glimpsedirbase' 'glimpsedir'
everything needed to use glimpse.
'swishbin' 'swishdirbase' 'swishdir' 'swishconf'
everything needed to use swish-e.
'ectagsbin' 'ectagsconf'
Everything needed to use ectags. Note that, although ectags.conf may be stored deeply inside LXR library, it is used exclusively by ectags, which explains why it needs an OS-absolute path.
'cvspath' 'gitpath' 'svnpath' 'hgpath' 'bkpath'
a collection of paths where to find the storage engine tools (cvs, git, Subversion, Mercurial or BitKeeper).

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
New Zealand circa 1905. "Male youths outside tent, probably Christchurch district." Glass plate by Adam Maclay. View full size.
Those are some wide knots in their ties. It also looks as though the young fellow on the left has either a short tie or his tie has been cut off. But my question is about the fellow on the right's tie: Is that wide band going across his tie connected to his shirt to hold his tie in place? I've never seen that before. The cap worn by the fellow on the left is similar to what we used to wear in the Cub Scouts.
Tie your shoe, son, before you fall on that axe and hurt yourself.
The next post, the context here, and my general warpedness handed my mind that title, the first time I read it.
It appears that camping was either a serious business or a semi-permanent state in New Zealand. Other examples of Maclay's work show similarly impressive tent accommodations.
That is officially the DORKIEST pair of so-called camping outfits I have ever seen -- what a hoot!
My first thought as two why two young men would have semi-permanent furniture in a tent and dress in suits is that they may well not be "camping" but might have been made homeless in the Aug. 9, 1904 earthquake in New Zealand, rated between 6.8 and 7.2 on the Richter scale. The tent may be set up where a home used to be.
[No, this is a standard camping setup. Thousands of similar photos in the archive. - Dave]
Also notice the regular beds. They certainly don't appear to be "roughing it" too badly.
Looks like they're camped out in their backyard. I notice the fence so they're not in the woods somewhere.

Rosie O'Donnell has added another acting credit to her resume. Tonight, O'Donnell will guest star on an TV Land's Happily Divorced at 10:30 p.m. According to EW, she'll play "an old 'friend' of Fran Lovett (Fran Drescher) who is also a dog therapist trying to help her old pal figure out why her pooch doesn't like her." Hmm. Why the quotation marks around the word "friend"?

Mother's Day is just around the corner. If you're lucky enough to have not only one, but two moms, then consider sending them cards from Ecard Family Equality sponsored by Children's Tylenol.

By the time Minnie landed a role in Freaks in 1932, the sideshow world already had a "Koo Koo, the Bird Girl" - Betty Green - but this didn't stop Minnie's managers from dressing her in a feathery costume, too. Though she has no lines in Freaks, she made a lasting impression on moviegoers when she shimmied on the table during the wedding feast of Cleopatra the aerialist and Hans the dwarf. Thus it was Minnie who was best remembered as "Koo Koo", not Betty Green, although the two are frequently confused. Later, Minnie worked at Coney Island as "Koo Koo, the Blind Girl from Mars", where she confounded spectators by failing to respond to visual stimuli. Her blindness is just one of a host of symptoms that characterize some types of primordial dwarfism.
It's unknown exactly how long Minnie was with the circus or when she died, but some accounts claim she was still living (and was nearly run over by a car) in 1960, making her at least 80 years old.

MADISON, Va. (AP) -- A Newport news man charged with capital murder is been deemed competent to stand trial on charges he killed three relatives in Madison County.
A circuit court judge has scheduled an Oct. 21 arraignment for Rashad Matthew Riddick. The 25-year-old defendant is charged with the killings of his uncle, 55-year-old James Clark Jackson, Jackson's 53-year-old wife, Karen Lee, and her daughter, 26-year-old Chante Latrice Davis.
All three were found shot in the head in February 2011. Riddick was arrested in Newport News two days later.
The Culpeper Star & Exponent (http://bit.ly/1dWhl5n ) reports that Circuit Court Judge Daniel Bouton ruled Monday that Riddick is capable of assisting his attorneys and understanding the legal proceedings against him in the case.
Riddick has filed motions seeking to represent himself.

The engineering of cavity void metallic arrays allows to vary the plasmon-polariton mode energies from the near infrared to the ultraviolet through the tuning of the void height and diameter, and the selection of the appropriate material. Typically Au nanocavity substrates can be grown with better reproducibility, homogeneity, and stability, while Ag structures display significantly larger SERS enhancements. To exploit these two apparently excluding aspects, quality and enhancement, we report a detailed study of 500 nm Au-nanocavity templates modified by the controlled electrochemical deposition of 100 Ag layers, a thickness similar to the visible light skin-depth of bulk Ag. The SERS amplification of the ordered cavity-arrays is determined using 4-mercaptopyridine as a non-electronic resonant molecular probe. The ultrathin Ag layer modification of the Au substrates results in a strong amplification of the SERS signal both in the red and the green part of the spectrum, and in a spectral shift of the Raman resonance scans. These observations are assigned to Ag-induced changes in the plasmon-polariton response of the nanostructure. The reported results provide a general platform for the preparation of renewable SERS-active substrates that combine the durability and higher quality of Au nanotemplates, with the enhanced SERS amplification factors of Ag.

Catharine A. MacKinnon is the Elizabeth A. Long Professor of Law at the University of Michigan and the James Barr Ames Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School (long-term). She holds a BA from Smith College, a JD from Yale Law School, and a PhD in political science from Yale, and specializes in sex equality issues under international and domestic (including comparative and constitutional) law.
Prof. MacKinnon pioneered the legal claim for sexual harassment and, with Andrea Dworkin, created ordinances recognizing pornography as a civil rights violation and the Swedish model for abolishing prostitution. The Supreme Court of Canada has largely accepted her approaches to equality, pornography, and hate speech, which have been influential internationally as well. Representing Bosnian women survivors of Serbian genocidal sexual atrocities, she won with co-counsel a damage award of $745 million in August 2000 in Kadic v. Karadzic under the Alien Tort Act, the first recognition of rape as an act of genocide.
Among the schools at which she has taught are Yale, Stanford, Chicago, Harvard, Osgoode Hall, Basel (Switzerland), Hebrew University (Jerusalem), and Columbia. She was awarded residential fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Study, Stanford, the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, and the University of Cambridge.
Prof. MacKinnon's scholarly books include Sexual Harassment of Working Women (1979), Feminism Unmodified (1987), Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (1989), Only Words (1993), Women's Lives, Men's Laws (2005), Are Women Human? (2006), and the casebook Sex Equality (2001/2007). She is widely published in journals, the popular press, and many languages.
Prof. MacKinnon practices and consults nationally and internationally and works regularly with Equality Now, an NGO promoting international sex equality rights for women, and the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW). Serving as the first Special Gender Adviser to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (The Hague) from 2008 to 2012, she implemented her concept "gender crime."
Studies document that Prof. MacKinnon is among the most widely-cited legal scholars in the English language.

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about vaginal cancer.
Q: What is vaginal cancer?
A: Vaginal cancer is cancer that starts in the vagina. It is less common than other types of reproductive cancers. The vagina is a 3- to 4-inch-long tube. It connects a woman's womb, called the uterus, to the outside of her body. A thin cell layer called the epithelium lines the walls of the vagina. This layer is made up of squamous epithelial cells.
About 70% of vaginal cancers begin in the epithelium. They are called vaginal squamous cell carcinomas. These are other less common types of vaginal cancer:
Malignant melanoma
Q: Who gets vaginal cancer?
A: Most women diagnosed with squamous cell vaginal cancer are older than 60. It is uncommon in women younger than 40.
Q:What are the risk factors for vaginal cancer?
A: Certain factors can make 1 woman more likely to get vaginal cancer than another woman. These are called risk factors. A woman can have all of the risk factors and still not get the disease. Or she can have no known risk factors and still get vaginal cancer. Doctors are not exactly sure what causes vaginal cancer, but these are some things that may increase risk:
Age. Women over the age of 60 are more at risk for vaginal squamous cell carcinoma.
HPV infection. Women infected with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) may be at higher risk of getting vaginal squamous cell cancer. High-risk sexual behavior, such as having many sexual partners, can increase a woman's risk for HPV infection. The risk is even higher if a woman with HPV has a suppressed immune system from HIV/AIDS or another immune system problem. This makes it harder for the body to fight the HPV infection.
Cervical cancer. The cervix is the lower end of the uterus. Having cervical cancer increases the risk for squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina. Having precancerous conditions of the cervix may also increase this risk. This is thought to be because cervical and vaginal cancers share similar risk factors.
Smoking. As with many other cancers, smoking may increase the risk of vaginal cancer.
DES. Women whose mothers took the drug diethylstilbestrol (DES) when pregnant with them are at higher risk for getting clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina.
Vaginal adenosis. This is a change in cells lining the vagina. This change makes them look more like cells found in areas of the uterus. Adenosis happens in almost all women who were exposed to DES while in utero. In women not exposed to DES who have adenosis, the risk for clear cell adenocarcinoma still exists, but is very low.
What are the symptoms of vaginal cancer?
A: A woman can have vaginal cancer without having any symptoms. Early vaginal cancers may not cause symptoms. Women with invasive vaginal cancer that is spreading may have these symptoms:
Vaginal bleeding after menopause
Vaginal bleeding after intercourse
Vaginal discharge that is abnormal
A mass in the vagina that can be felt
Pain during sex
Pain when urinating
Constant pain in the pelvis
These symptoms do not mean that a person definitely has vaginal cancer. Other things could cause them. A woman should talk to her doctor if she is having any of these symptoms.
Q: How is vaginal cancer diagnosed?
A: The doctor asks questions about a woman's symptoms, personal and family history, and risk factors for vaginal cancer. The doctor will also do a physical exam, including a Pap test and pelvic exam, to check for signs of the cancer. The doctor may order 1 or more of these tests to help make the diagnosis:
Colposcopy. This is done with a colposcope, an instrument with magnifying lenses, that allows the doctor to see the vaginal walls and the surface of the cervix closely and clearly.
Biopsy. This is done if something suspicious is found in the physical exam or the colposcopy. A piece of tissue will be taken and looked at under a microscope to see if it contains cancer cells.
Q: Should every woman get a second opinion for a diagnosis of vaginal cancer?
A: Many people with cancer get a second opinion from another doctor. There are many reasons to get one. Here are some of those reasons:
Not feeling comfortable with the treatment decision
Being diagnosed with a rare type of cancer
Having several options for how to treat the cancer
Not being able to see a cancer expert
A woman may have a hard time deciding which treatment to have. It may help to have a second doctor review the diagnosis and treatment options before starting treatment. It is important to remember that, in most cases, a short delay in treatment will not lower the chance that it will work. Some health insurance companies even require that a person with cancer seek a second opinion, and many other companies will pay for a second opinion if asked.
Q: How can someone get a second opinion for vaginal cancer?
A: There are many ways to get a second opinion:
Ask a primary care doctor. He or she may be able to suggest a specialist. You should work with a doctor who specializes in dealing with gynecologic cancer. This doctor is called a gynecologic oncologist, a subspecialist with advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic cancers. Never be afraid to ask for a second opinion.
Call the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service. The number is 800-4-CANCER (800-422-6237). This service has information about treatment facilities. These include cancer centers and other programs supported by the National Cancer Institute.
Seek other options. Check with a local medical society, a nearby hospital or medical school, or a support group to get names of doctors who can provide a second opinion. Or ask other people who've had cancer who they might suggest.
Q: How is vaginal cancer treated?
A: Treatment for vaginal cancer is either local or systemic. Local treatments remove, destroy, or control the cancer cells in 1 certain area. Surgery and radiation are local treatments and are the most commonly used to treat vaginal cancer. Systemic treatments are used to destroy or control cancer cells that have travelled throughout the whole body. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment. A woman may have just 1 treatment or a combination of therapies.
Q: What's new in vaginal cancer research?
A: Cancer research should give you hope. Doctors and researchers around the world are learning more about vaginal cancer. They are looking for and studying ways to prevent it. They are also finding better ways to detect and treat this cancer.
Researchers are studying positron-emission tomography (PET) scanning for improved detection of vaginal cancer. Other research studies are looking at genes for controlling cancer growth and best ways to use radiation therapy. Studies are also looking at the use of a special kind of light, called photodynamic therapy, for treating vaginal cancer. New regimens of chemotherapy are being studied. Surgeons are developing new ways to repair the vagina after surgery to remove cancer.
Q:What are clinical trials?
A: Clinical trials are studies of new kinds of cancer treatments. Doctors use clinical trials to learn how well new treatments work and what their side effects are. Promising treatments are ones that work better or have fewer side effects than the current treatments. People who participate in these studies get to use treatments before the FDA approves them for the general public. People who join trials also help researchers learn more about cancer and help future cancer patients.

Ah, Fall. The weather's tolerable again. School's back so your family life is back on schedule, too. Who doesn't love fall?
Oh, but wait: it's fall. That means it's time to get outside and batten down the hatches for winter. Blech. Who could love fall? And where's a homeowner to start on all those chores?
Don't despair: Angie's List has a handy Fall Check List as well as a primer for you Labor Day Weekend DIYers.
We even have an infographic: http://www.angieslist.com/articles/fall-home-maintenance-checklist.htm
Angie's List Fall Checklist
- Service your heating system: As much as 80 percent of emergency calls answered by heating specialists are the result of improper maintenance. Schedule an appointment soon so you can beat the rush and help avoid a breakdown in the middle of a freeze.
- Check and replace filters: Fall is also the perfect time to check your furnace filters and replace if necessary. Efficient operation distributes heat better and cuts your energy costs. Plus, it's an inexpensive and easy task.
- Protect your pipes: Have you plumbing looked at and water lines insulated. Cleaning all lines can help remove clogs. Clogs cause back ups, which can freeze, then cause the weakening of pipes and bursting. Wrap your pipes with insulation designed for plumbing. In many situations, insulation will be all you need to protect your pipes.
- Drain water from your water heater: You can improve your water heater's efficiency by 50 percent by draining sediment build up from the holding tank.
- Add insulation: This is one of the lowest-cost options for improving the energy efficiency of your home. The proper amount of insulation you should have depends on the climate you live in. Obviously, the colder the weather, the more you need. Look in your attic, if you see exposed two-by four's, you are due for more insulation.
- Seal drafts: Caulk, seal and weather-strip where drafts are detected. Walk through your home with a lit stick of incense or a candle. Drafts will pull the smoke that direction, making it easier to determine where the cold air is seeping in.
- Schedule a chimney sweep: Creosote build-up can lead to a chimney fire.You should have your chimney inspected at least once a year; more often if you use it regularly.
- Check your gutters: Gutter blockage of dead leaves and other muck can cause serious water damage. If they are clogged, hire a professional for a cleaning. If they are not clogged, check again after the leaves have fallen.
- Rake up the leaves: Fallen leaves will deprive your grass of crucial sunlight during the fall months. Leaves can also accumulate and get wet, leading to mold growth and a breeding ground for pests.
- Vehicle inspection: Summer travel can take a toll on your car. Schedule a maintenance check with your mechanic so it will be in good working order to endure the long winter months. If you haven't packed your trunk with an emergency kit, now is the time.
- Clean and store your outdoor furniture: This will help prevent rust and damage from freezing. If you store your outdoor furniture inside for the winter (which is recommended, if at all possible) allow for some airflow. Encasing the furniture tightly in plastic could lead to moisture damage.
- Properly discard or store paint, caulk or adhesives in a heated area to prevent them from freezing: Call your local hazardous material removal service for instructions on discarding products that could be toxic. Drain all gasoline containers, including lawn mowers and other gasoline-powered tools.
- Check your lighting: With dark days ahead, exterior lighting is very important. Check all your bulbs and consider using timers to turn lights on at dusk and off in the morning.
Angie's Tips for Labor Day Lawn DIYers
- Read Before You Seed: Get expert advice about what your lawn needs before you buy. Don't assume that, because it's in a store near you, every product will perform well in your lawn.
- Go Overboard: Overseed and fertilize now to give the products time to work. A second round of fertilizer may be needed later in the fall in some regions.
- In the Weeds: Don't be tempted to do everything at once. Weed controls should be applied at least three weeks before seeding. If you missed that window, you can apply weed control once the new grass has matured enough to receive at least three mowings. Don't use all-purpose herbicides for general weed control. Attack weeds with herbicides designed for specifically for those weeds to avoid killing more plants than you planned.
- Nip it After the Bud: Kill dandelions now with a post-emergent product.
- Read Before You Apply: Many weed control products warn against using them in temperatures above 85 degrees. Read and follow label directions so you don't do more harm to your already needy lawn.
- Sick or Diseased? Turf disease is common this year in areas hit by the drought. If weakened by the summer weather, Bermuda grass for example, won't recover on its own and will likely be overtaken by stronger weeds. Dry patches or yellow or browned areas indicate disease.
- Oh, Snap! If you're unsure if your grass is dead or just playing dead, take a picture of it to show to a reputable lawn care expert. Many lawn care experts will offer affordable advice for those who prefer to do the work themselves, and some hardware and home improvement stores have experts on hand.
- Switch it Up: Some homeowners are careful stewards and always condition their lawns on time. Because of the unusual weather this year, evaluate whether the products you've been using for years are what you need this year. You may need something extra to help your lawn recover.

Old Mill Park to get canoe launch
MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
Old Mill Park in Fredericksburg could have a canoe launch by the end of the summer.
Fredericksburg officials will seek permission from the city Architectural Review Board on June 11 to add the put-in/take-out area on the Rappahannock River. The plans are being submitted to the ARB for design approval.
Mike Ward of the Fredericksburg Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities Department said the city also is waiting on a final permit from the Virginia Marine Resources Commission.
The project is something that the Friends of the Rappahannock has been working on for two years, said John Tippett, executive director of the river-protection organization.
FOR obtained money for the launch from a grant through the National Park Service and a matching grant from the Chesapeake Conservancy, Tippett said.
The grants total about $52,000 for construction, said Chip Rice, programs manager of FOR, which is based in Fredericksburg.
The project will be put out to bid, so its exact cost has not been determined, Ward said.
He said there are "a couple small details to wrap up" after the ARB review, but he hopes to receive bids on the project soon.
Paddlers already have whitewater launches off River Road at Mott's Landing in Spotsylvania County and at the Virginia Outdoors Center in Fredericksburg.
The Old Mill Park site is just downriver of the Falmouth Bridge and the end of the whitewater section of the Rappahannock. The next closest public launch is the boat ramp downriver at City Dock.
Tippett said the new launch will provide a good place for people who want to experience a flatwater trip and not worry about rapids.
It's about a two-mile trip from the Old Mill site to City Dock.
The Rappahannock River is a popular waterway for canoeists and kayakers. It attracts visitors for events such as this weekend's Great Rappahannock Whitewater Canoe and Kayak Race.
"There is growing level of canoe activity on the river, and this boat launch will provide a permanent place where canoes can be launched or taken out with safety," senior city planner Erik Nelson said in an email.
The planned launch will allow a large number of craft to access the river without causing erosion. The riverbanks in Old Mill Park are tree-lined, and getting in and out isn't easy because of mud, slippery rocks and tree roots.
Tippett said FOR was driven primarily by wanting to prevent more erosion at Old Mill Park.
"We wanted to give them a safe way to put in that was not going to destroy the riverbank, too," he said.
The launch will include reinforced concrete steps and landings on both sides of the boat slide for kayaks and canoes. Rip-rap will stabilize the bank on each side of the concrete.
Ward said he hopes to have all of the work completed by the end of August.
Tippett said the launch will help people get on the river. And once they enjoy it, they will more likely become good stewards, he said.
"I think it's going to make for a nice recreational trip on the Rappahannock, and more people will recognize the really wonderful river we have in our backyards," he said.

Complete the vision and make it more realistic by recognizing the limited applicability of total (i.e., level 5) autonomy, adding an outline of and a timetable for human-machine partnerships through a series of intermediate visions. The mathematical and engineering sciences on which autonomous system design and evaluation will be based should be developed.
Engage other appropriate Department of the Navy UAV stakeholders and reexamine their missions to ensure that the UAV/UCAV vision responds to the needs of the whole naval community.
Complete the technology roadmaps after this reexamination.
For the critical technologies the committee recommends as follows:
Vehicle technology will evolve without being given special emphasis by an ONR S&T program. Accordingly, ONR should plan to invest only in R&D pertaining to (1) missions that are unique to the Navy, such as landing on a ship and ASW-related operations and support, and (2) overall affordability.
For communications and networking, the commercial sector will not address all the issues. ONR should focus on secure communications and dynamic networking directly, as it is doing, while continuing to exploit commercial development whenever possible.
Sensors and sensor systems hardware will evolve without special attention from an ONR S&T program. ONR should focus on software and algorithms for information extraction and fusion rather than on hardware issues. A much-better-focused program of enabling technology development and demonstration than seems to have been put in place so far is essential if limited funds are to produce significant results.
For autonomy, the commercial sector will not address all of the Navy's needs. ONR 6.1/6.2 investments are warranted in several important areas—image understanding, human-machine interaction, multientity control, and metaheuristics—as well as in a systematic examination of the scientific and engineering principles upon which autonomous operations are based. Careful coordination with other R&D programs of the Navy and the other Services is recommended. ONR should leverage commercial software to emphasize naval-unique applications, demonstrations, and exercises, and it should encourage the formation of a community focused on autonomy that facilitates communication and joint development across industry, government, and academia by means of Navy-sponsored symposia and the like. Finally, the committee recommends that ONR should specifically fund S&T efforts aimed at identifying and publishing best practices for the design, development, and evaluation of complex affordable autonomous military systems.
