There was a guided tour conducted by JCOS staff this morning, to view the extent and nature of the flood damage at Apex Park.
The damage has to be seen to be believed. It is expected that repairs and reconstruction will begin next year. The complete assessment and general plan for moving forward will likely be done in the next few months. But it is known that the significant nature of the work which needs to be done, not to mention the sheer volume, will require materials and equipment which is not going to be allowed to weather and degrade under the snow over the winter. Significant work is not expected to begin until spring.
Patience will be required. This isn't going to get fixed any time soon.
In addition to the numerous examples of damage one might expect after a significant rain event, there are at least 5 places on Apex trail proper which evoke that "Oh... wow..." reaction. See a couple examples below.
20 photos can be seen here: Apex Flood Damage Tour - 2013.10.24 - a set on Flickr
Doesn't look like such a big hole ...
... until you are down in it, looking back up at the trail.

Photographer's Note
Every year on March 14 the people of Albania celebrate the Summer Festival, our largest pagan festival. It is intended to celebrate the end of winter, the rebirth of nature and a rejuvenation of spirit amongst the Albanians. Although the epicenter of this festival is in Elbasan, the festival is widely celebrated throughout Albania and as far afield as the Arbëresh colonies in Italy.

Hello Ardi,
This is certainly the most crowded view I have seen in Tirana. I can't imagine such crowds even on May 1 in the old days. The dense mass of people down the diagonal street, the trees and the long line of artificial flowers give the view excellent depth.

Dog rescued from island above Niagara Falls
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - New York State Park Police battled the swift current above Niagara Falls to rescue a dog who became stranded on an island after being scared off by July 4 fireworks.
Members of the swift water rescue team walked through rapids Friday to get to Little Brother Island, about 100 yards from the brink of Niagara Falls. That's where a visiting veterinarian from Rochester had spotted the white dog, more than a week after it was reported missing by a Lackawanna family that was in Niagara Falls for the Independence Day festivities.
The officers used hamburgers to coax the nervous pooch named Lily to come with them back through the water.
After the 2 ½-hour rescue effort, Lily's back with her owners.

Are there tools in ABAP for petri net designing?
I am new to SAP/ABAP and I have a project at my university where I have to implement alpha algorithm for workflow mining in ABAP. I have to deal with petri nets for this purpose. I wanted to know if there are any tools in ABAP with which I can do some petri net designing.
I could send you a small ABAP that actually reads the workflow definition as simple table, which you can use to create the petri nets from. You could write some VBA program for Visio or something alike. Contact the SearchSAP.com editors for more contact details.

vikpaw sums up my view to be honest :)

vikpaw sums up my view to be honest :)
I agree with vikpaw and witch.
As I previously stated I think the existing system is fine, I've never had a problem with any of the advice given and find it better to take a look at all advice given before making a final decision, it would be daft to simply apply the suggestion solution of any one person (despite their level of knowledge) as sometimes the message can become garbled and they misinterpret you post and vice-versa. It also seems to suggest that anyone without a badge is therefore going to be overlooked, as by implication they must be a newbie, unreliable or unhelpful etc. Also, perhaps there could be badges for those who give poor advice so we can ignore them?
Nobody at fault but an example of Good Advice gone awry: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-sy...ng-report.html
Even 'experts' get it wrong if they misunderstand the problem or it's not communicated in a way they understand. No offense to the OP who had little experience of SIMS.
EDIT: and by " 'experts' " i mean people who i respect and value the opinion of in this particular area, though the list is not limited to just the posters in this thread, and includes a far wider range of members. ;)
Like me for instance (once needed to be able to tick the MSCE box on job applications, no courses, bootcamps or braindumps involved) ;bQuote:
Re - slagging off MCSE / CCNA / etc quals : But there are also those who seriously study and deserve the qualification on their own merit
I'm slagging off people with acronym collections in signatures: There are exceptions to the rule, but they are apparently trying to prove something and IME that can often extend to compulsively posting cocky, irresponsible "answers" above those sigs on issues where they're out of their depth.
I think all this is an attempt to solve the wrong problem and it's not that big a problem to begin with: I'd be more interested in trying to minimise the number of people asserting broken tech memes that can break other peoples systems i.e. encourage them to be a bit more [bleeping] responsible. If you aren't 100% sure about whatever from personal experience then just use a bit of simple cautious language to indicate that e.g. "I'm not sure, but in principle... blah-blah-blah".

Expert Advice: ADHD and Adoption
What causes ADHD?
Although its cause has not been clearly established, we know that ADHD can be inherited. Forty percent of children with ADHD will have a parent with ADHD -- usually the father. Although ADHD appears to have a genetic basis, other factors influence who will actually develop symptoms and who won't. Even among pairs of genetically identical twins, one twin may have ADHD and the other not. The attention center in the brain appears to be the most vulnerable or sensitive psychological function. Thus a range of medical problems can result in an impaired attention span without any other apparent difficulties. Prenatal drug or alcohol exposure, prematurity, lead poisoning, and other similar conditions can put a child at risk for ADHD.
ADHD is most typically diagnosed in the early grade-school years, and teachers are often the first to identify the child's difficulties. Inattention may be noted if the child daydreams frequently or has trouble completing tasks. Impulsivity often leads to calling out in class or having difficulty waiting their turn in games or lines. Hyperactivity in children will likely be exhibited by restlessness, fidgetiness, and getting out of their seat at inappropriate times. Although boys are more likely to be identified as having ADHD with hyperactivity, girls are more likely to be identified as having the "inattentive type" of ADD.
Diagnosis of ADHD requires a careful evaluation by a physician or psychologist. A thorough diagnostic assessment is needed, because children with ADHD often have additional developmental problems, such as learning disabilities, auditory processing difficulties, or a mood disorder. Also, these same conditions can actually mimic or be confused for ADHD, yet each would require a different approach to treatment.

Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
The Vikings are in their second week of Organized Team Activities at Winter Park. Today's workout was open to the media. Here are a handful of noteworthy tidbits from the session.
Highlight reel play
Without question, receiver Jerome Simpson delivered the most impressive play of Wednesday's OTA during 11-on-11 scrimmage time. With Simpson matched one-on-one with cornerback Chris Cook, quarterback Christian Ponder lofted a pretty bomb up the right sideline. Cook appeared to have perfect coverage. Yet at the last instant, Simpson, jumped over the top of the 6-foot-2, 212-pound defensive back and pulled the ball in over Cook's head. The play was greeted with impressed howls from players on both sides of the ball. (Here's the video.)
Even head coach Leslie Frazier felt his eyes bug out.
"Anybody that witnessed that play today, you've got to get jacked up," Frazier said. "That was an incredible play and one of the reasons we get excited about him. We're hoping to see that on Sunday afternoons, plays like that."
Notable absences
Arguably, the Vikings' four best players were absent from Wednesday's workout. Jared Allen, who also missed all of last week's OTA, was not in attendance. Neither was Adrian Peterson, who is back in Houston this week continuing his knee rehab.
Chad Greenway attended Tuesday's practice but called Frazier Wednesday morning with news that he had to tend to what the head coach labeled as "a serious matter" in his family.
Finally, receiver Percy Harvin, who attended last week's OTAs and practiced Tuesday, was a no-show. That, Frazier said, had nothing to do with Harvin's shoulder, which he had minor arthroscopic surgery on in late-April.
"Nothing that I'm aware of regarding his shoulder," Frazier said. "Just, it's a voluntary camp."
Childs play
Rookie receiver Greg Childs remains out of action dealing with a lingering calf strain that he suffered during rookie mini-camp last month. Childs has attended OTAs but not participated the last two weeks. While in college, Childs' 2010 season was cut short due to a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, an injury that limited his effectiveness as a senior as well. The Vikings believe that, at full strength, Childs can be a difference maker, possessing an impressive combination of size and speed. But so far, they've had very limited opportunity to evaluate Childs up close.
"It's unfortunate he can't get some of these reps now," Frazier said. "But he'll get caught up."
The weighting game
Running back Toby Gerhart says he has maintained his playing weight of approximately 230 pounds during this offseason. But Gerhart sure looks bigger in his upper body and said he has made an effort to add more lean mass.
"Just trying to get the guns going a little bit this year," Gerhart joked after Wednesday's practice.
With Peterson's health still an uncertainty, it's a distinct possibility Gerhart will be the Vikings' opening day starter on Sept. 9. In the four games Peterson missed due to injury in 2011, Gerhart averaged 18 carries and 73 rushing yards per contest.
As for Gerhart's increased bulk, the Vikings are doing a bit of offseason experimenting to determine how he can be most effective.
"He's still a developing guy," Frazier said. "And there are some things we're going to find out in these OTAs. Before we send him home and come back to training camp, we'll give him a prescribed weight. But we wanted to take a look at him at where he is right now and just see how it would affect his quickness. Because there's a very good chance he's going to have to really carry the load early on."

CORPUS CHRISTI - We have continuing coverage on the Border Patrol agent who's accused of assaulting his wife in Annaville yesterday, and accused of killing her lover up in Medina County.
Police say 33-year old Adam Garibay allegedly tied up and assaulted his 28-year old wife Denise. After forcing her to give him her lover, Keith Martin's, address he drove to Hondo, Texas.
Martin's family says he had only been with them about a week. Our San Antonio affiliate was able to speak to Martin's father, Bruce Martin, off camera. He told them when Garibay showed up at their home, he heard the first 2 gunshots go off. Then, he saw the second 2 shots go into his sons back as he turned around to go back into the house. Martin died and Garibay fled.
The Medina County Sheriff says Garibay led them on an 18-mile chase that ended in Sabinal. Police say he tried to swallow several pills in hopes of over-dosing. A deputy forced Garibay off the road, tasered him, and he was taken to the hospital.
We're told Adam Garibay is currently in the San Antonio University Hospital. He should be released either later tonight or tomorrow. At that time he will booked in Medina County where he is facing murder charges.
Meanwhile Border Patrol has released a statement saying, "CBP does not tolerate criminal conduct by its personnel on or off duty, and is fully cooperating with the investigations into these allegations."

« Le peuple est le même partout. Quand on dore ses fers, il ne hait pas la servitude. »
de Napoléon Bonaparte
Views: 31
David Attenborough need not advise us on population control because, putting aside immigration and longevity, the populations of most Western countries are static. The current population explosion is occurring in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America and I don't think there is any effective way of controlling it.
If the West is to survive past the next fifty years it needs to start taking measures now including an end to immigration, militarisation and closing of borders. Countries with low populations and abundant resources like Russia and Australia might hold out but Western European civilisation, complicated by the inevitable dominance of Islam, is unlikely to survive past the next hundred years.

Hotline is a pretty good made-for television movie,that,if given a
chance,can keep you on edge for the duration.I saw it when it came on the
tube for the very 1st time.Lynda Carter does a fine job as the lead role,
playing a character named Brianne O'Neill who takes a job at a hotline
crisis center.Soon she receives calls from a man using bizarre, macabre
nursery rhymes and calling himself "The Barber".He describes his murderous
activities and inclinations over the phone, and the suspense builds as the
killer closes in on O'Neill, all the while repeatedly reporting his deeds to
her over the phone.This is an obscure film that's worthy of some
attention,-rarely does it come on television.
TV thriller concerns Lynda Carter hot on the trail of a killer who communicates with her via telephone about his heinous deeds. It's a race against time as the body count rises and the killer comes closer and closer to making Lynda his next victim! Okay suspense, but the prime attraction is of course Ms. Carter, who made a slew of TV flicks after WONDER WOMAN was cancelled and looked good, even if you didn't buy her as a detective or social worker or whatever she was playing in any particular film.
Seriously though, this isn't a bad movie. OK, so it's formulaic of it's
time and you can pretty much guess where it's going and who the killer
is, and who the killer is not! Lynda Carter is good as the heroine of
the piece and doesn't do a bad job. Steve Forrest's character is such a
lonely soul in it that he can literally break your heart with a tone of
voice and a look - he is such an under-rated actor, he's just
brilliant, and I'm slowly going broke collecting all his movies;
especially rarities like this one!
Also, a surprise to see fellow Brit Julian Fellowes as a store owner called Leo (with hair) - that was a hoot.
All in all, not a bad film as I said earlier, I'm guessing at the time it was made in 1982 it would have been suspenseful but by today's standards it's pretty tame but great to watch on a dark rainy night - make sure your doors are all locked though (just in case).
This is perhaps Lynda Carter's scariest movie in her long sucession of thrillers. I bought this on video and it is now considered vintage. I don't believe you can purchase it anymore. I have been in love with Lynda Carter since I first saw her crowned as Miss America back in 1973. I simply watched this one on Halloween night back in 82 because she starred in it. To my surprize, Lynda was finally given a good script. Up until then her she had been given lousy movies to work with. The only consolation to some of her earlier films was that she was always brilliant eye candy and still is even now. If anyone is given the opportunity to see Hotline I suggest you watch this one. It is perhaps the most terriying made for tv movie ever. Too bad Lynda is not really Wonder Woman for this film!!! You'll love the diabolical finale!!!
Wonder Woman Lynda Carter swaps her hotpants for a hotline in this unintentionally hilarious made-for-TV hokum about a Samaritans style crisis helpline gal attracting the unwanted attentions of the fabulously monickered serial killer, The Barber (so-called because of his penchant for hacking off his victims locks), who delights in feeding her cryptic nursery rhyme style riddles when planning his next murder. Predictably, the too-clever-by-half loon makes the mistake of targeting Ms Carter as that next corpse-to-be and the result is seldom in doubt thereafter.

As Marjah offensive ends, a crucial test for peace in Afghanistan
The coalition's Marjah offensive against the Taliban in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, has made gains. But to succeed, Afghanistan, the US, and aid agencies must quickly move in to build up the area's security, government, and infrastructure, showing fence-sitters the benefits of peace.
As the US Marjah offensive in Afghanistan, winds down, the next challenge will be to maintain the newfound security of the area and to begin to reintegrate former Taliban fighters into Afghan society.
It has been more than two weeks since American Marines, along with Afghan and other security forces, began what has been billed as the largest offensive against the Taliban since the US invasion of the country in October 2001. After initial exuberance over early success, military officials attempted to manage expectations, saying that there are hard days ahead.
This is a critical period, say experts. The Afghan government – with the US military and development officials closely behind – must quickly demonstrate what they can do for the population, or the success of the combat phase will quickly fade, experts say.
No one knows how many Taliban fought in this region of Helmand, and how many may have fled prior to the assault. So it's unclear how many Taliban fighters might now be willing to get on board with the Afghan government.

American Idol Auditions: A Survival Guideby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
The road to Hollywood, fame and fortune begins in...
... East Rutherford, New Jersey?
That's the hope of thousands of area residents, at least, as the cavernous Continental Arena plays host to local auditions for American Idol 6.
What takes an hour or two to cover on TV is actually a marathon week that tests the nerves and voice of every hopeful singer who makes his/ her way to Exit 16W. To guide you through the process, a local publication offers the ins and outs of the auditions, thanks to insight from someone who's been through it -- JP Molfetta of Ramsey, N.J., who tried for Season 4.
According to the oddsmakers, there's a 1-in-7 chance the next cog in the American Idol machine will be at Continental Arena next week.
The road to stardom and next May's season finale begins with the audition process, and for the first time that includes East Rutherford, the second of seven cities Idol will travel to during the next two months.
Given that thousands are expected to try out, what makes one stand out? What are the steps that send someone on the road to Hollywood with a shot to become the next Kelly Clarkson (right)?
We've got you covered.
Coordinating producer Patrick Lynn, along with Molfetta and his brother Rich, who made the rounds of audition cities and got a bit of airtime in Season 4, helped map out a plan for future hopefuls:
First off, clear your schedule.
One thing's for certain, and that's that the auditions will be grueling. On Monday, it will be an all-day affair on Monday. Stay hydrated, too. It will be hot, crowded and full of lines. It's easy for your throat to go very dry and for you to lose vital energy.
Round 1: First audition
Once everyone is seated in the arena, groups will be called up section by section and then broken into subgroups, where you get a turn to sing at a station on the arena floor for someone from American Idol. This is the first, and possibly last, chance you will have to impress.
"They want to hear if you can do anything," Molfetta said.
Plan on having 30 seconds to a minute, although sometimes you may be asked to sing more than one song.
"Focus on that first audition. The one mistake people make is they think they're going on to the second round. Take the first round as serious as you would any part of the competition," Lynn said.
Be careful, though, because this is also the stage where the producers are looking for the next William Hung. While that could net you 15 minutes of fame, you don't want to get lumped into this group. Molfetta suggests the use of a popular song, one that's recognizable and makes you so.
"They want something they know so they can reference it," he said.
Tom Petty said it best with that line. Idol hopefuls will learn this all too well. Once you impress the first group of judges, you advance to a meeting with the executive producers, which will most likely happen later that week. Either way, plan on spending up to 10-12 hours before getting called.
"The wait's the most frustrating part. Everyone sits in one room, and you just think about the process. Certain people will over-rehearse. Others will try and sleep. It's when people start getting kooky. But it's also a chance to bond with the other contestants," Molfetta said.
Try to stay calm.
"You can get caught up in the competition," he says. "In the grand scheme of things, you're around all these people who love what you love. Take that moment and make some friends," he said.
Round 2: The producers
Lynn wouldn't discuss what happens after the first round, except to say that if you make it through Round 1, all the details will be provided.
Here's what we were able to glean from talking to those who auditioned previously. In Round 2, you perform for the executive producers. Be ready to sing a whole song a capella. Some people try to cheat by starting with the easy part of a song and hope they can stop before the hard part.
Not a good idea.
This is also where the mind games of song selection begin. For females, Molfetta says, "stay away from Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera... because everyone tries to do them."
For males, the same goes for Stevie Wonder.
Pick a song you're comfortable with, for you don't want to make the fatal mistake of forgetting the lyrics. Be prepared for interviews, too, because answering questions is a constant. This is a TV show, not just a singing competition, so vocal talent alone doesn't ensure success.
"Throughout the entire process, the producers are looking to see who's going to gravitate to the camera," Molfetta said.
If you've never been videotaped before, grab a video camera and have someone ask you questions while you're on camera. Get used to it.
"Have a clear idea of how you want to be portrayed. They will paint you any way you want to be painted. Be yourself," he said.
The American Idol crew will generally take a day or two to sort through the contestants and begin to shape their scripts. Those who've made it this far, generally fewer than 200, are gathered in one room as they await their shot before Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell.
"It's a hurry-up-and-wait syndrome," Molfetta said. "You start to see the people who go through, and you immediately begin to question, 'Am I right for what they're looking for?' I know I sang better than so-and-so."
This is it.
The door opens.
You walk in, and sing ... but what?
Everyone has their No. 1 song, but it's important to have four songs you're comfortable with. Have a variety of song choices, too. Don't sing four gospel songs or four rock songs. If you're not sure which direction to go in, choose a Top 40 song. After all, it's a pop music show.
George W. Bush doesn't have one, but Idol hopefuls should. If you get a yellow ticket and a trip to Hollywood, it's time to break out the celebration. You have fought through the wars and now have a shot to be a Simon Fuller protoge. Enjoy it. But if the vote doesn't go your way, there are three choices:
- Go quietly.
- Leave with a smile on your face, and tell the camera, "I'm just so happy I waited on line for a whole week to get this chance."
- Let everyone know how you really feel.
If you're going to speak your mind and trash the judges, Molfetta suggests you have thick skin.
"Most people can't handle the criticism they'll get. If you have a soft exterior, I suggest you just be happy. If you feel you [can] handle being ruffled, then let 'em have it," he said.

If i were to make it to Hollywood do I have to pay for airfare? or food?
Can convicted felons audition?
I am 16 and I make it through the first two rounds - does my parent have to be with me the entire time if I make it to Hollywood week. We are trying out in Nashville 2010. NEED INFORMATION about the process ASAP.
My daughter is thinking of auditioning for AI. This site has been very helpful. My question is "if she gets a ticket to hollywood... Does AI pay for airfare, hotel, food ect? And do they get to pick their group they want to be in during group auditions? Thanks for info
Well Bethany, I hear ya on that one! I am 29, and went to the AI registration yesterday in East Rutherford NJ, with the hopes that they would make an exception. They turned me away at the registration table due to my age, which is only 29. I gave them a good and friendly explanation as to why I think they should make an exception, but the woman I spoke to just gave me a blank face and said they can't go beyond the age cut-off (I don't think she was a producer though). However, according to the AI website, it does say that the producers reserve the right to change the audition rules at any time at their discretion (because the producers ultimately decide who's on the show. It's not just about singing talent - it's a whole production). Getting a registration wristband doesn't even guarantee you the chance the audition, and producers will even pick people to audition who don't have a wristband. With that said...you can always go to audition day and take the chance that they will pick you to audition. The NJ audition day is tomorrow, and I'm going anyway to try my luck! You never know... Good luck to you!
Hi Magenta, I hope by now you've checked out Zewdy on youtube or myspace. By the way, this year (2008) will be her: 5th and for my final advice: go for it; it's a lottery. If you're not in it, you can't win it!!!!! Good Luck.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Just one meaningless game in, Michael Vick already senses something special building in Philadelphia.
Vick threw for 74 yards and a touchdown pass in his only series and the new-look Eagles beat the Baltimore Ravens 13-6 Thursday night in their preseason opener.
Nnamdi Asomugha, Vince Young and several other big-name acquisitions made their debuts for the Eagles, who've signed a slew of free agents with impressive resumes in the past two weeks.
"I feel that each and every guy in that locker room wants to be on this team," Vick said. "We've enjoyed each other so ...

For a spec that states as one of it's goals of being fast, there seems to be a requirement on a high number of calls to the ECMA script engine. For example, a great preponderance of attributes are expressions. Even attributes where an expression would seem a waste. Examples, the "method" attribute on <fetch>, or the "label" attribute on <log>. Though occasionally cumbersome, the dual attributes in VoiceXML would be useful here.

|About a year ago, I first posted some preliminary plans for feedback and I am grateful for the comments I received. Circumstances forced us to put things on hold, but thankfully, we are now ready to move forward! Prior to having final plans/blueprints completed, I would greatly appreciate some fresh eyes offering any thoughts you may have (after looking at this for so long, I worry that I may not be "seeing" something important).
A quick recap: We are a family of three (three year old daughter) living in western NC, hoping to foster/adopt a child in the near future. The goal for our home is for it to be simple and efficient, made with healthy materials, and that it has a great inside/outside connection. The top of the plan is oriented south to take advantage of passive solar heating and mountain views.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you are willing to offer!

|Love it. This is the type of floor plan I would build. Simple and open. Is the master bedroom closet large enough? Ever thought about a double sided fireplace? I can picture sitting on that porch on a cold night with a fireplace. Of course, I would have my fireplace on the outside wall so both focal points, the TV and fireplace can be enjoyed at the same time. Don't like the TV above the fireplace. (I'm short and it makes the TV to high up.)
- Posted by finallyhome (My Page) on Fri, Jan 18, 13 at 22:29
|One more thing. I would add a closet to the uspecified room for more options in the future. If it will be a craft area you could add a wall of shelves/closet.

|What's the to right of the door as you walk in? A utility sink?
I'm trying really hard to find something to change and I can't. The only thing I personally might question is the laundry right next to the master, but I think you're either a person who appreciates the convenience or dreads the noise, so ignore that, because I'm obviously the latter.
|What stands out for me is entering from the front door and having to cross directly into the kitchen area to access the living room. Have you really thought carefully about that? Haven't looked over the entire plan closely yet, but wonder if it might be possible to flip the bath/closet and entry, although that likely will negatively impact the facade....Good luck with your plans!

|Love your plan! One big thing that jumps out at me, which you may have addressed and I could just be missing, but do you have enough closet space for things like the vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies, etc? Planning convenient space for storing things like the vacuum, brooms, steam mop, light bulbs, plant food, just random household necessities, can really make a difference. I also am not sure I see enough linen closet space.
Again, you may have thought of all this and decided it's meets your nice, but I always find that there is no such thing as too many closets. They take up so little room and can allow a home to function more efficiently.
Good luck with buildong your house...I think it'll be great!
|I agree about double checking that you have enough storage space. I think if you have front-loading laundry machines, you can have a lot of storage for linens above the machines. And the "block" next to the water heater in the laundry room could be full-height storage for brooms, vacuum, etc. But I'm a little confused about the second "hidden" closet in the MBR. It might be more usable if the space were just returned to the other bedroom (teenage girls . . .) or if it opened onto the hall for linens.
I can't remember what the items were in your foyer, either. I seem to remember there being a bench on the left, but can't recall the ID of the thing on the right. If the entry is also a mud room, then make sure you're OK with the "stuff" that accumulates in a mudroom or a typical back entry being part of your main entry. Is there a coat closet?
*And this leads to a question I had last time around -- where is the parking? If there is parking in front of the house only, or a circular-drive-type thing, then it makes sense. But I recall there being a plan to add a freestanding garage or carport later. And the discussion surrounding that was the path from the cars to the house. Would you have to come into the screened porch, then through the living room? Or all the way around the back through the dining room?
|Thank you very much for the feedback ~ it's really helpful to get your perspectives!
Below is a revised plan along with responses to your comments.
Finallyhome ~ We are planning on having an electric fireplace, but if not, the two sided idea would be fantastic! The fireplace will be low (no mantle/hearth), so the television will not be very high. The "unspecified" room is going to be utilized for fitness and guest quarters (we plan to have a small wardrobe in there for guest use).
Wi-sailorgirl ~ That is indeed a utility sink that will be hidden behind a sliding barn door. We like the idea of being able to rinse off garden veggies, wellies, muddy hands, etc. before tracking further into the house. This closet will also house storage for things like light bulbs, household tools, etc. I do all of the laundry during the daytime, so the convenience factor is important to us. In our current rental home, we have a similar laundry set up and really like it!
Peegee ~ We have gone back and forth on flip flopping the kitchen and dining room with the family room. However, for several reasons, we do think we prefer it this way. We also plan to use the "unspecified" space as guest quarters and therefore like that the guest bathroom is right next door.
Krdpm ~ Trying to find "a place for everything and everything in its place" has been a process! As for a vacuum, we are hoping to have a central vac with a Doc-it containment system that will most likely be located in the wall near the dryer. We are planning to store linens in cabinets above the washer and dryer, household utility items in the entry closet with the utility sink, food in the pantry cabinet closest to the dining room, non-food bulk storage in the pantry cabinet closest to the hallway, and office supplies in the desk area (across the hall from the island). That little extra space in the back of the master closet will house a safe. In the entry, there will be "lockers" for coats, shoes, purses, backpacks, etc. I'm still trying to decide on a good location for holiday decor storage. Hopefully, we will be able to maximize the upper space in each of the bedroom closets as well.
Jakabedy ~ Next to the WH, we are planning to have cubbies for laundry baskets. The hidden closet in the master is for a safe. We are trying to create a "hidden" mud room in the entry. On the left, there will be "locker" cabinets with bench seating. These will have doors to conceal the "stuff!" Similar to this:
On the right is a utility closet behind a sliding barn door. It will have a sink and storage for household utility items like light bulbs, tools, etc.
Due to the topography of our site (our home will be located on a knoll), we are indeed planning to have a circular drive located in the front. If we add a carport, it too will have to be in the front, most likely northeast of the house. Making the front entry dual purpose, seems to make this work alright in theory and, I'm hoping, in practice as well!!
Thank you all again ~ I really do appreciate your thoughts! I'd love more feedback if anyone has any!!

Question: What are some of the words you use to describe love? I can think of many but that would take up this entire blog post. I just came back from seeing a movie that may have put some definitions in perfect order and more succinctly than I could: Crazy, Stupid, Love.
I am still undecided if I liked this movie or not. I liked all the actors in it, I laughed (no, I did not cry), I got a little bored and even rolled my eyes…

Where did you go on your honeymoon? Was it someplace tropical with soft white sand and tall fruity rum drinks? You are having a wonderful time enjoying the scenery, being together and occasionally conversing with others. Did you meet another couple and end up chatting with them? "A nice couple", you think. Think again. WOW! I am so glad I went to Disney world for my honeymoon.

The military says two people were taken into custody after they tried to gain access to MacDill Air Force Base near Tampa, Fla. early Monday morning in an sports utility vehicle loaded with weapons.
MacDill is the home of the U.S. Central Command, which is the command center for the operation of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Base security searched the vehicle when the pair failed to show proper identification at the gate. They discovered rifles, ammunition and military gear, but no explosives.
The occupants of the vehicle -- a man and a woman -- were arrested. The suspects' names were not released.
Base officials said the incident is being investigated and the base is operating normally.

Just beyond the frosted glass separating the dining room and lounge, it's a different experience. Behind the bar rest whiskey bottles by the dozen—the bartender claimed 75 labels, although the menu lists 65. An ethanol-fueled fireplace cube flickers in one corner, reassuring whatever trendy types wander in of the bar's worthiness. Soft, low-slung seating adds to this effect.
And here is where people, just a few, tend to stop.
So after a quiet dinner one evening, broken only by occasional bouts of rearranging as courses arrived and the rather startling appearance of four new guests as we finished up, I rode the escalator downstairs to Oceanaire. The long-established seafood destination, considered by many to be Dallas' best, swirled with activity and noise. Folks waited at the bar for tables, and a bevy of frocked servers waited on one particularly boisterous group.

Vintage Federer routs TsongaComment on this story
Melbourne – A majestic Roger Federer emphatically announced his return as a grand slam contender by trouncing Jo Wilfried-Tsonga 6-3 7-5 6-4 to charge into the Australian Open quarter-finals on Monday.
The former world number one, coming off a wretched 2013, channelled the halcyon days of his new coach Stefan Edberg, dominating at the net to humble the stunned Frenchman in 112 electrifying minutes under the lights of Rod Laver Arena.
Having suffered early exits at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, Federer muscled into his 41st grand slam quarter-final, equalling the record of American Jimmy Connors in the professional era.
The 17-times grand slam winner sealed the match with an imperious cross-court volley to book a blockbuster clash with Wimbledon champion Andy Murray for a place in the semi-finals. – Reuters

The advent of League of Legends: Dominion presented a number of challenges for item balance that we hadnt encountered before. With champions beginning at level 3 with substantially more gold than before and gaining passive gold at a drastically increased rate, some items no longer presented players with the same strategic choices that they had in the past. Additionally, the changes to combats style and champion roles created additional challenges to the traditional item balance of Classic gameplay.
A Fresh Start
One of the first item types that emerged as problematic in League of Legends: Dominion were the Dorans items. These starting items are intended to offer players the strategic advantage of a stronger early game at the expense of having no upgrade path to a stronger, late game item. However, the shortened game length of Dominion combined with the increased starting gold made buying multiple copies of these items an extremely attractive option.
To prevent players from simply stacking these early game items, we removed the Dorans items set and created a new set of starting items, dubbed the Prospectors set. Similar to the Dorans items, these items are extremely cheap relative to the stat boosts that they provided, but dont serve as the component of any more powerful late game item. Unlike the Dorans items, however, the health bonus provided by Prospectors items does not stack with other Prospectors items, making them far less appealing to stack.
A Snowballs Chance
Another group of items that proved problematic in League of Legends: Dominion were snowball items such as Mejais Soulstealer, Sword of the Occult, and Leviathan. While purchasing these items in the Classic game mode represented a calculated risk, the frenetic pacing of Dominion could cause players to rack up a lot of kills extremely rapidly. This could result in situations where a player was able to stack up a snowball item at an alarming rate, becoming an unmanageable powerhouse capable of dictating the remainder of the game.
Moreover, one of the goals of League of Legends: Dominion was to shift emphasis off of punitive death penalties, and, at times, even to encourage players to make heroic last stands. The additional threat of feeding a snowballing adversary, however, promoted more cautious gameplay. Ultimately, these three snowball items simply didnt make sense in the context of the capture-and-hold gameplay of the Crystal Scar, and the decision was made to remove them in the new game mode.
My Kingdome for a Ward
Some of the most difficult items to balance for League of Legends: Dominion were the more powerful consumables such as Elixirs and Wards. In classic gameplay, elixirs could allow players sacrifice a small amount of gold for a relatively strong, short-term boost. However, the increased rate at which players earn passive gold made elixirs extremely easy to acquire. Additionally, the four minute duration of an elixir was a substantially larger percentage of the total game length of a match on the Crystal Scar. These two factors combined to make elixirs an extremely good deal for boosting your stats, essentially removing the decision-making element they were meant to create. Rather than representing a strategic decision, elixirs simply became an essential buy, so the decision was made to remove them from play in Dominion.
More controversial even than the decision to remove elixirs, however, was the decision to remove Sight and Vision Wards. While these items are an extremely important part of the strategy of classic gameplay, the increased passive gold in Dominion once again made this consumable extremely easy to acquire. Additionally, it was found that the team already controlling the map was able ward strategic location to instantly react to enemy attacks. This reduced the emphasis on a strategic defense and shifting it towards roaming between bottlenecks to stymie your opponents offensive. In the end they proved more problematic than they were helpful.
Keep em Separated
The combat dynamics in League of Legends: Dominion are quite different than those found in the Classic game mode. One group of champions that seemed to struggle in particular were Ranged DPS champions. Because they are more fragile than their melee counterparts, Ranged DPS champions tend to shine in larger fights where they have the protection of their team. Because the combat on the Crystal Scar typically features smaller skirmishes, ranged DPS champions tended to be more vulnerable than they were in the Classic game mode.
To make these champions more viable in one-on-one situations, many of the higher end Classic items received new Dominion equivalents that were more affordable to purchase. Also, to alleviate some of the discrepancy early on, the new Prospectors items were refocused more strongly on ranged DPS stats than their Dorans counterparts. Finally, items such as Lightbringer were introduced to allow ranged champions to maintain line of sight on their enemies despite the numerous twists and turns found between the command points on the Crystal Scar.
Out with the Old, in with the New!
Along with all these problematic items, there were some items that still fulfilled their role on the Crystal Scar, but had some gameplay caveats that didnt quite make sense in the context of the new game mode. Most of these items were simply replaced with counterparts that better fit the dynamics of combat on League of Legends: Dominion.
For example, the Classic item Bloodthirster relies upon a champions ability to farm minions to reach its full potential and loses all of its built up stacks upon death. Since we reduced the number of total minions on the Crystal Scar it was hard for a Bloodthirster to reach its full potential. So Bloodthirster was removed and replaced by Sanguine Blade, an item that served a similar purpose, but didnt suffer from the same limitations. Another such item was Banshees Veil, which could prevent a player from being able to interrupt the capture process by blocking an offensive spell. This additional, unintended utility made Banshees Veil an essential defensive item on the Crystal Scar, so it was replaced by the more offensively oriented Odyns Veil.
Likewise, Dominion added some new game elements that simply didnt exist in Classic gameplay, and therefore didnt have any items to support them. The prime example of this is Priscillas Blessing, which provides champions with a movement speed boost, increased regeneration, and the ability to capture command points more swiftly. This item was engineered specifically for champions whose primary role on the Crystal Scar became to move quickly and poach unprotected command points from the enemy team a role that simply did not exist in Classic Gameplay.
The Bottom Line
By changing the itemization, we were better able to shape the gameplay of League of Legends: Dominion to provide a new and engaging experience in the capture-and-hold. Moreover we were able to maintain champion balance despite the changes in combat style, and enable most champions to keep the same role on the Crystal Scar that they filled on Summoners Rift. These changes to the Classic arsenal allowed us to make sweeping changes to adapt to the new gameplay on the Crystal Scar.

Thanks for the insight! Appreciate it.
good to know

I love the pacing of dominion. It feels good to gain items and experience quickly!
Dominion has really been a breath of fresh air for me... it's different, fast paced and exactly what I've been needing.
I'm very happy that Riot was able to implement such an enjoyable mode into LoL. One that requires us to come up with very different tactics and builds and requires us to approach the game in a completely different way.
Great job on all the new items.
i'd like to see more artwork
I'm amazed at how well Dominion is doing with how critical this community is...
I remember TT release though. Same thing. Then. Well you know.

This is also the most conservative Court since the New Deal. In a widely cited 2009 study, conservative judge and scholar Richard Posner, as well as his colleague at the University of Chicago law school William Landes, ranked the ideology of 43 Supreme Court justices from 1937 to 2006. Four of the five most conservative judges served on the Court that year. None of the five most liberal judges did. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the only current judge to rank among the 10 most liberal justices.
Posner and Landes also found that the more ideologically polarized the Court was, meaning the greater its range from right to left, the greater the number of cases decided by one vote. It found, critically, that ideology "matters more in the Supreme Court than in the court of appeals."
There have not only been more ideologically sorted rulings in recent decades. The most significant laws are increasingly decided by the same one-vote margin that undermines the very "supreme" authority of the Court. The 1966 Miranda decision, which defined police suspects' rights, was an early signal that 5-to-4 rulings were going to shape this nation like never before. The 2000 Bush v. Gore was decided along the same narrow margin.
In the Roberts Court, 5-to-4 majorities have allowed unlimited corporate and union campaign spending, upheld an individual's right to gun ownership, limited an employee's ability to file a pay discrimination, decided states cannot impose mandatory life sentences on juvenile murderers without the possibility of parole, and limited class-action suits as well as decided the constitutionality of the health-care law.
This polarization has not gone unnoticed. The judiciary remains the most trusted branch of government. Sixty-three percent of Americans said in autumn 2011 that they have a "great deal" or a "fair amount" of faith in it. Yet that is the lowest share to express trust in the judicial branch since 1976, when Gallup first asked the question.
And the Supreme Court is especially sullied. Prior to Thursday's decision, about three in four Americans agreed that "personal or political views influence" current Court decisions, according to a recent New York Times/CBS News Poll. Yet the public has not seen the Court as apolitical since, at least, it became more politically ordered. In 1946, a narrow plurality, four in 10 Americans, told Gallup that they "agree" that "the Supreme Court decides many questions largely on the basis of politics."
This year's term saw roughly as many 5-to-4 rulings as 1946. But then it was not the norm. In 1941, for the first time, at least a tenth of the Court's opinions were decided by this narrow margin. The rate of these minimum majority decisions has not fallen below 15 percent since 1991. Some modern Court years are more partisan than others. But the upward trend remains steady since the mid-twentieth century.
So liberals celebrate a rare 5-to-4 decision that went their way on the Roberts Court. Conservatives rue the ruling. Polarization, however, endures. The four liberal justices lined up as predicted. Three of the four most conservative justices also fell in line on the greatest issue before the Court. All the conservative judges agreed on other aspects of the ruling. The swing vote was a surprise on the headline decision. But the Supreme Court remains generally sorted along partisan lines. And it's not news. Rather, it's old news. That's how accustomed to polarization we've become. Or how cynical.
