The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I enjoy reading your reports.
Has anyone (Democrat or Republican) put forth a reasonable
strategy for dealing with Iraq in the future?
The majority of those who used to feel that our being there
was justified, now seem to be saying that we can't pull up our
stakes and leave. We can't "cut and run."
The question I have for those in favor of staying is: Will staying
an extra year or two (or ten) make that area any more stable????
I sincerely doubt it.
Short term strategy: get out and let the Iraqi military and police
sink or swim on their own. No more US lives should be lost on
that sinking ship.
Intermediate strategy: back channel negotiations with Iran and
Syria. We know they're skunks, but without their support the
situation won't/can't improve.
Long term strategy: spend a small percentage of the money
that's currently being doled out for the war to devise a workable
alternative energy source. Our reliance on oil has a lot to do
with the problems in the Middle East.
It would be an interesting read to have your publication put together
an issue dealing with a possible exit strategy.

Over the past few years, the biggest problem for Kings of Leon and their fans, besides some pesky pigeons, was having songs that were too […] Read the full post.
Kings of Leon's woes: Can a band's troubles stop the music for you?
queers of leon more like it
Spoiled little brats who make lame excuses, but the real story is that they are undeserving wimps. The Saint Louis pigeon poop story is a total lie. Don't waste your time with these mama's boys. Waaaaaa.
I haven't listened to KOL since I saw them looking bored as hell playing their lame new songs on stage at Outsidelands '10.

Guys with ZERO charisma, churning out unimaginative, half-assed, tired, formulaic clichés………….
For blissfully ignorant and unchallenged musical illiterates…….
Thomas Black
I just hope they don't die in a plane crash. If they do, we'll never get rid of their crap music.
Who are these guys anyway.
When did we get so PC that even our rock stars have to be perfect, fine, upstanding citizens?
Sorry, but nice people aren't interesting. They have nothing to write about. Flawed people are always the best artists.
T Neg
WTF is a "rock star"?….And why has that become part of the lexicon and collective conciousness?
Lame media created the term….It denotes any wannabe jagoff in a band these days….
Dresses and acts the part, so when they are in an airport, folks will think they are in a band, as opposed to some guys in town to do an assessment for an asbestos removal firm….
Sad thing is, the asbestos removal guys are providing a more valuable service to the society in which they live…
"Rock Star" = Lame poseur of the worst kind.
I guess said lame poseurs provide a service for fools with a bent for wasting their valuable dollar to buy into "cool"…..Lame jamz to go along with the tats…Losers who think they too, are living in a realty show. -
seriously they suck , they r in the same over rated category as smashing pumpkins ..boring ….and yes i have listened to last 2 albums and really tried to like em .. but keep coming back to there r better newer fresher bands or even established bands that r just more interesting to listen to..
They need a long vacation. It'll be good for their health and creativity.

体验式奢侈品营销 Experiential Luxury Marketing
Affluent Chinese are avid consumers of luxury products but they don't always know the heritage of the brands they are buying, and they often need guidance about how to consume luxury products. Companies like Diageo, Alfred Dunhill, Cartier, Armani and Hermes have found they can explain brands better through unique, exclusive experiences compared to traditional marketing. This week on Thoughtful China, we'll find out how to make experiential luxury marketing succeed in China. We'll also give you a rare look inside the new Johnnie Walker House in Shanghai, the first of its kind outside Scotland.

Over the next three years School District 2 will spend massive amounts of time and effort to adopt a set of nationwide curriculum standards for its schools.
Montana is one of the last states to join the Common Core Standards initiative, and SD2 officials say that's a distinct advantage.
The other states and school districts to adopt earlier in the process have encountered and solved many of the troubles and pitfalls as they've implemented the new curriculum, Gail Surwill, SD2's curriculum director, said.
SD2 probably can benefit from their experience, she said.
However, SD2's relatively late adoption also means less time to make all the required changes. And there are many.
In most grades, English and math curriculum will become more difficult, especially at the elementary level.
In the high schools, students will be required to take three years of math instead of two.
SD2 officials figure it'll cost the district $1.7 million to implement.
"It's significant," said SD2 interim Superintendent Jack Copps.
In the past, states have set their own standards and administered their own standardized tests. Common Core is an effort by individual states to unify curriculum standards across the country.
The problems with a state-based model were thrown into relief when No Child Left Behind was enacted in 2002, Copps said.
States with less rigorous academic standards had an easier time complying with progress-based NCLB requirements. It also meant those states were graduating and sending off to college students with lower academic proficiency than other states, Copps said.
As questions about the future of NCLB arose at the end of the decade, some states got together and hatched the idea of implementing a common academic standard and standardized test across all states.
Known as the Common Core State Standards initiative, all but five states — Texas, Alaska, Minnesota, Nebraska and Virginia — have joined. Montana adopted the standards last year.
SD2 has a year to plan and write its new curriculum and align it across the district. Beginning in August 2013, officials will begin the new curriculum's implementation.
Starting the following year — the 2014-2015 school year — SD2 will begin giving the new Common Core standardized tests.
Copps sees the implementation as a good thing for the district. Most of all, he said, it'll give teachers more flexibility in how they teach their subjects and more creativity in crafting their lessons.
A large part of the $1.7 million implementation price tag for SD2 is the need to buy new textbooks. More than $1 million will go toward new textbooks, $886,000 of that to a new reader program for the kindergarten through third grade classes.
"The truth is," Copps said, "we would need those new textbooks even if we didn't have the Common Core requirements."
One of the five mill levies the district is putting before voters next month is an $880,000 general fund mill levy for the elementary schools that will go expressly for those textbook purchases.

There's no better way to see a comic-book movie than with an unjaded, absolutely thrilled 12-year-old boy. Particularly at a midnight screening.
But even without the infectious enthusiasm of my nephew, I would have enjoyed the heck out of "Captain America: The First Avenger," the latest and possibly greatest superhero flick of the summer.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" opens at 12:01 a.m. Friday, and screenings all across the country are selling out -- here in Amarillo, too.
As of today, at least 5,000 screenings have sold out, including at least one in Amarillo. Maybe more, but the UA Amarillo Star 14 wouldn't get into specifics.
Their IMAX screen was the first there to sell out, assistant manager Sandra Brown said, but "Deathly Hallows: Part 2" can be seen on at least six other screens, and more will be added if necessary.

Will Owens of Macaroni Joe's won the live chef battle Thursday during the annual Restaurant Roundup.
Owens stole the show with a seared steelhead served with a dirty rice and crab combo, said contest organizer Bud Andersen.
"It was just incredible," Andersen said. "His entree scored a 30 on one judge's card, which was the highest you can get."
Other competitors were Chad Lardie of Embers and James Steinhilper of Leal's.
Organizers think the event drew its largest crowd ever, though final numbers aren't yet available.

A star turn from Oscar-nominee Jonah Hill leads this week's new DVD and Blu-ray releases.
Unfortunately, it's no "Moneyball," for which Hill got a deserved nod as supporting actor.
Instead, it's "The Sitter" (R/Unrated, 2011), a crude "Adventures in Babysitting" ripoff without an iota of the charm of the original.

When Stanley Marsh 3 was first interviewed by CBS about Cadillac Ranch in 1975, he wouldn't give them a straight story about why he had the cars planted in a wheat field off Interstate 40.
That's no surprise to anyone who knows Marsh, whose imagination and verve surely make him one of Amarillo's most interesting residents.
And it's no surprise that when Marsh appears again tonight on the "CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley" (5:30 p.m. Friday, cable channel 12), he's still not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

A million-dollar winner is named and a troubled show gets a do-over in tonight's TV.

Fall TV kicks off in earnest this week, and tonight, all the attention is on ABC and CBS.

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen "The Nutcracker," but this year might have been my favorite.
It wasn't the show itself, though it was pretty much as solid as ever. This year, I got to see it with my nieces and their friends -- five girls under age 9.

My house cleaner is upset because I asked her to not use a feather duster (same one used to dust furniture) to brush crumbs out of the toaster oven. She brushes crumbs onto the floor.
Am I expecting too much, are my standards too high, am I being too critical, should I turn a blind eye to the way things are done? Am I being too picky? I shudder at the thought of household germs being introduced inside the toaster oven where food will be. Using a dry rag (used elsewhere) to wipe out toaster oven after using the feather duster does not calm my fears about germs. Your opinions please. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by athomesewing (My Page) on Wed, Apr 20, 11 at 12:45
You're right. Where oh where has that feather duster been? Do you have pets? Is it her duster, being used throughout someone else's home? |
athomesewing, No, I do not have pets, but, other clients do. The feather duster is the house cleaner's and used in other homes. |
Another reason why I wouldn't have a professional cleaner in my house. Nobody cleans up to my standards. HA HA. |
- Posted by kathleenca (My Page) on Fri, Apr 22, 11 at 23:40
I think I would save the toaster oven cleaning for myself. |

Located on the southern Minnesota prairie, Willow Creek Soap Company has been producing natural handmade soaps and bath products since 1996. From our humble beginnings in a country farmhouse kitchen to our present downtown storefront, Willow Creek has grown with the times while maintaining its special appeal: A wide and interesting soap variety at reasonable prices. With herbs and botanicals sourced from numerous local farms and gardens, every Willow Creek soap bar is hand-crafted with natural vegetable-based ingredients. (No animal products are ever used!) We utilize high-quality olive, coconut, and soy oils. Due to the handmade nature, each bar size varies approximately five ounces. But with their incredible density they last—and last. Plus, all Willow Creek soaps are gentle to various skin types, moisturize and lather wonderfully.
Years ago making soap in small batches worked for us, we still do it that way. It's very labor intensive but we believe it's worth it. We know you will see the difference in all of our handmade products. Thanks for stopping by! Dennis and Anna Taylor Willow Creek Soap Company From Our Hands To Yours

Other Pets at Parrot Outreach Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Vinnie, a Punta Gorda Cockatiel was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cockatiel for sale in Punta Gorda, or seeking a Cockatiel from a breeder in Punta Gorda.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Punta Gorda already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Punta Gorda breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cockatiel breeders who help with Cockatiel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Punta Gorda paves the way for another one to be saved.

Was having a problem with tag archive not pulling from custom post types, or from pages (I added a plugin to add tags to pages). After much searching and minor hair loss, I found this:
function post_type_tags_fix($request) { if ( isset($request['tag']) && !isset($request['post_type']) ) $request['post_type'] = 'any'; return $request; } add_filter('request', 'post_type_tags_fix');
from here:

Officers' Quarters: Raiding addons aren't optional {WoW}
Oct 18th 2010 7:32PM One thing you're not taking into account is the fact that if anyone (especially your raid leader) is running DBM/DXE/BW or any of the other raid addons, you're already "using" it.
You're getting raid warnings and chat messages from the addon. You're probably getting verbal warnings from the raid leader over vent, who is getting his information from his timers.
Officers' Quarters: A friendly loot system {WoW}
Apr 19th 2010 3:38PM The biggest problem with EPGP is that it's challenging to explain. Lots of people will understand the mechanics that goes on (effort divided by gear equals priority) but they won't understand why it should be that way. And when someone takes loot over them, they'll feel screwed because they don't understand the system that determines their loot for them.
I like plain old DKP. Earn points for effort, bid points for gear. Gear is only worth what people are willing to pay for it.
MMFixed's Magic Mouse fix hands-on, literally {Engadget}
Apr 13th 2010 11:34AM @Kid Red
I'm not an "apple hater" but I sure as hell hate their mouses (mice?). I personally don't think they've ever made a comfortable one. Most of them look great and futuristic for their time, but every one back to the hockey puck were crap for ergonomics, plain and simple. The Mighty Mouse was terrible. No contours at all, basically guaranteeing wrist strain.
I love Apple's design, I really do. I just wish the mouse designers would consider that people need to use them for extended amounts of time. Then they could look nice and be nice and comfortable, and I wouldn't need a Logitech or Microsoft mouse to go with the Mac on my desk.
Cataclysm class skills previewed in Icecrown Citadel {WoW}
Apr 10th 2010 12:29AM http://www.wowhead.com/spell=47820
Just turned green?
Cataclysm Class Changes: Druid {WoW}
Apr 9th 2010 9:49PM I think that it's OK, because rather than getting new spells, you're getting ANOTHER hot (Efflorescence) via crit, and they're changing a core mechanic (moving Tree of Life into a cooldown rather than a form).
Actually, from someone who _doesn't_ play a resto druid, I like the idea that restos will no longer be permanently immune to some CCs like sheep. So now you can never be banished, but you can be sheeped. Kiss/curse.
Cataclysm Class Changes: Druid {WoW}
Apr 9th 2010 9:45PM But you'll have to consider "Nature's Torrent" which deals the higher potential of the two and moves the meter...they didn't say which direction it moves the meter in, or what the CD on this spell might be.
Depending on talents, procs, and mastery, there may be reasons at times to push the balance far in one direction and then go back, or there may be good reason to stay as balanced as possible, or there may be reasons to do both. I'm excited to see how this works out, it may give me incentive to actually try leveling a boomkin. I've tried Feral, and the farthest I've gotten is lvl 31...I just can't stand it. Maybe I'll delete it and try a Worgen druid.
Thoughts on the death knight tanking change {WoW}
Apr 7th 2010 2:46PM I really do have a feeling that presences will be changed to reflect the talent tree changes being made.
At least, I hope they do. God, the confusion in Hellfire Peninsula where all the new lvl 58 DK tanks will be insisting that since blood is the tanking tree, it's the presence they should be in.
New Recruit-A-Friend mount coming soon {WoW}
Apr 6th 2010 9:20AM Yeah, Blizz doesn't single out countries to shaft, they have lawyers that study their laws and tell them that they can and can't do things there.
Same reason WoW.Com's contests have restrictions. It's not that they don't like you, it's legal CYA.
Cataclysm dispel mechanics {WoW}
Apr 6th 2010 1:35AM And that's entirely the point. Now you've come to a situation where you have to decide: "is it worth the mana and GCDs necessary to cleanse this debuff or should I just try to burn through it?"
There's strategy. Not "oops a disease, abolish disease, don't have to worry about it anymore." That doesn't even approach strategy. That's a kneejerk response, and it begs the question, why even allow you to be diseased in the first place if it costs you nothing but one GCD for 12 seconds of free cleansing?
Now you'll have to look at what the disease does and decide whether it's important enough to get rid of. Is it worth it? IDK, DKs have so much damage locked up not just in the dot, but the strikes that are modified by diseases being on target, maybe it is worth dropping form for two or four quick dispels. Now you've got the DK without runes to reapply, and they're at a damage disadvantage for several seconds.
Think about it.

We have an FMI gas zero-clearance direct vent fireplace installed by the first owners and is 15 years old.
It is working fine, puts out really good heat. We are getting ready to remodel and part of it involves a new stone surround and drywalling the wall above it. We are trying to have the unit inspected, but are running into trouble b/c there is no manual (contacted the company and they will "try" to print something off if I send an envelope - nothing online since it is so old) So my question what lifespan should I expect from this unit? Should I just go ahead and replace it now? |

Rental Reviews
Our event was seamless
Rental Reviews · Friday, 22 November 2013We had to change our program date because of the government shutdown, and VisArts could not have been more understanding or accommodating. Our event was seamless. The venue was clean, the acoustics were just right and VisArts staff were easily reachable. BHI will definitely return to VisArts in the future
- Amanda Wilson
The acoustics made for a perfect presentation
Rental Reviews · Monday, 04 November 2013Our firm, Santos, Postal & Company, held a corporate event at VisArts wherein we brought in Tom Snyder, an internationally renowned speaker, to present to our entire firm. VisArts was the perfect venue. Amy from VisArts ensured that the room and audio/visual equipment were all perfect well in advance of the event's early morning start time. The acoustics and view from the room also made for a perfect presentation. The great, convenient location, knowledgeable staff, and superb room enhanced the experience for our entire team.
- Robert Greenfest
The guests were awed by the art gallery and location!
Rental Reviews · Wednesday, 16 October 2013My wife and I held our wedding reception here this past weekend and it was wonderful! Jackie and Amy were a pleasure to work with and made it so much more of a wonderful experience. Though it rained outside, the lighting and decoration of the venue added an extra level of romance to the evening. The guests were awed by the art gallery and location. We had a memorable time and look forward to utilizing this location again for another shindig!
- Elijah and Tahirah
It was incredible!
Rental Reviews · Saturday, 12 October 2013Had our wedding here this past weekend and it was incredible! The rooftop cocktail hour was perfect - our guests were raving about the open space and view over the town square and the amazing weather! Our reception was held in the Buchanan room and it was stunning. It fit our 160 guests perfectly with more than enough dance floor space; the decorations of paper lanterns made the room feel more intimate and elegant. Amy Wollins and Karen Askin were such pleasures to work with and always very prompt. The hallway was perfect for a photobooth, bar area, guest book/gifts table. Our guests were blown away by this original venue and beautiful space! If you're looking for something original and more intimate, definitely recommend VisArts!
- Sharon
Above and Beyond!
Rental Reviews · Tuesday, 30 April 2013Above and Beyond! There is serious peace of mind knowing that I am working in a venue that lends hands on support and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure a clients' happiness. Your staff are just a pleasure to work with. They were positive and happy and actually listened to the guests needs and worked perfectly with our team. Thank you!
- Danielle Couick, CPCE
The service was flawless!
Rental Reviews · Tuesday, 30 April 2013Thank you to the staff at VisArts for making our retirement party such a success. Amy Wollins is a pleasure to work with; she was always available and flexible, both before and during the event. VisArts is also a great space, overlooking the town center. In addition, Corcoran Caterers, which is on the list of preferred caterers, did an outstanding job. The food was fantastic, as was the presentation. The service was also flawless. I would not hesitate to use both for future events.
- Holly Whittier
You Guys are Great!
Rental Reviews · Wednesday, 30 January 2013Thanks so much for all of the referrals! We must have done something right! It is a great space...and you guys are great!
- Debbie Lessans, Options Caterers
Your Thoughtful Support Was Much Appreciated!
Rental Reviews · Thursday, 03 January 2013Thank you so much for VisArts' generous support for On Our Own of Montgomery County's December 5, 2012 Forum "Impact of Healthcare Reform and Behavioral Health System Integration on Peer Run Wellness & Recovery Programs." We had very good responses from our attendees, and your thoughtful support was much appreciated!
- Sharon MacDougall, Executive Director
The Space Was Just Right
Rental Reviews · Monday, 10 December 2012On Our Own was very fortunate to have the opportunity to have our forum at the VisArts Center. The Buchanan Room was a beautiful and yet very functional (tables and chairs provided, space just right, AV system worked very well, etc.). In addition, Amy was extremely generous with her time, as she made herself available to help us with whatever it was that we needed. We would definitely seriously consider renting the Buchanan room at VisArts Center again, if we were doing any kind of event similar to what we just did.
- Sharon MacDougall; On Our Own of Montgomery Co.
The Birthday Party Was A Success
Rental Reviews · Tuesday, 13 November 2012Thank you so much for everything you did that made my 50th birthday party a success. We had a wonderful time and danced all night. The "Queen's Bal" was enjoyed by everyone. Again, thank you for your help, generosity and kindness. 'Til the next one!
- Mandy

I voted Soarin but it's a triple tie with me POTC & Star Tours
OK, call me the poll king! What is your favorite ride in Walt Disney World? I didn't add shows because then the list would be too long and I'd have to take some of these out, so these are rides in the sense that you are in something that is moving and not watching a show. So vote for as many as you want and if something is not on here, pick other and post it. Have fun!

glad we coould post more than one
Had to make myself pick just one, so went for Soarin'. A popular choice it seems!
My absolute favorite ride is Splash Mountain. I went on it on my first visit in 2000, and after I got off, I knew it was my favorite. The qeue is cool (you know going in the barn, and then seeing Briar Frogs home). The songs are catchy and fun. The build up to the drop is awesome with the 2 smaller drops before hand. The final drop is amazing and the fact that they take your picture is hilarious. I love splash mountain!!

Possibly the first standard WEA course (rather than event or staff training) to have its own twitter hashtag with links to course resources which will be held on this page.
Follow the live discussions starting on Monday 11th Feb using #weaPicourse
Clicking on the following link will allow you to search this hashtag
The DAIN project was focused on Digital Inclusion for ALL – the Raspberry Pi completely aligns with this focus on Digital Inclusion.
The foundation behind the Raspberry Pi quote :-
"We don't claim to have all the answers. We don't think that the Raspberry Pi is a fix to all of the world's computing issues; we do believe that we can be a catalyst. We want to see cheap, accessible, programmable computers everywhere; we actively encourage other companies to clone what we're doing. We want to break the paradigm where without spending hundreds of pounds on a PC, families can't use the internet. We want owning a truly personal computer to be normal for children."
Described as the majicians reveal, the content on this page will grow as the material has been delivered to the group
Course description
The Raspberry Pi was awarded Innovation of the year 2012 by T3.com and STUFF magazine. This course "Introducing the Raspberry Pi – the 21st century educational computer" will introduce the Raspberry Pi, and explain why this technology marks a landmark in computing in the 21st century. You will discover how a tiny and inexpensive piece of technology is easy to use and will help develop your computer skills, including coding and programming.
"If your not inspired by this incredible piece of technology after this training then I have missed something" – Steve Stocks
Learning Outcomes for the course
- Describe the Raspberry Pi's design
- Explain what components are required to get it up and running
- Demonstrate how to find, install and setup the Raspberry Pi computing environments
- Create computer programs using drag and drop programming and simple scripting tools
- Identify, obtain and install additional programs and tools e.g. Office productivity suite or Media server
- Provide two examples of how the Raspberry PI might be used in the near future (i) Scientific monitoring equipment (ii) Catch up TV internet streaming service. Describe how these solutions may affect everyday life.
- Explain how the Raspberry Pi could be used to good effect in educational and training contextsIdentify further learning and opportunities for developing the use of the technology.
The course will be delivered over two sessions
Session 1
Session 1 will take learners on a journey, understanding what a computer environment is. The history and background of the Raspberry Pi technology, it's design and development, why it's such a fundamental change to computing, through to how to setup and configure the desktop environment, finnishing up at a completely operational Raspberry Pi desktop.
The following is the initial assessment from session 1 :-
R_Pi Session 1 – Initial assessment
The following is the material presentated in session 1 :-
Exercise to discover how a Computing environment is put together :-
The following is the final assessment from session 1 :-
R_Pi Session 1 – Final assessment
Session 2
Session 1 culminated in the booting up of the Raspberry Wheezy desktop environment
Session 2 continues the learning journey, of this cost effective solution for digital inclusion, by
-Reviewing the components that make up the Wheezy desktop
-Using tools provided to carryout simple coding and programming development.
-How additional programs can be installed into the Wheezy environment.
-How and why to connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely.
-Further resources and places to investigate taking your learning of this great technology further.
The following links provide downloads of the content used in the training session :-
1.1 Introducing the Raspberry PI – Session 2
4.0 Is about PYTHON and is not formerly documented for the initial course, this being due to the complexity of PYTHON programming and this being an "INTRODUCTION TO" course for complete beginners to computing.
The following blog post shows how the WEA, through courses such as the one on this page, are embracing effective cost effective solutions to closing the digital divide now that the digital connectivity is seen as a standard utility in our daily lives.

Ross stated, "I was just so humbled by the talent that performed, the fans and friends that drove hundreds of miles just to be there, and my band members that played behind everyone for the entire event. That's professionalism. I could never express my gratitude to Howard Yearwood (lead guitar), Tim Hood (drums), Wild Bill Colley (bass) and Troy Cantrell (relief bass) enough. I sincerely want to thank Matt, owner of Smitty's Bar & Grill on the Hill in Lebanon, TN for the use of his venue; his staff who was excellent; and, of course, the performers. All were on their game throughout the show." The CEO of the Independent Country Music Association, Mr. Alan Shephard and district chapter president, Jennifer Robinson were on hand to thank Ross for his efforts to keep traditional country music alive. Shephard stated, "As CEO, I think I have the right to break a rule if I choose to." He turned to Ross, and continued, "The Spring Fling has once again been nominated for the ICoMA international award as "Best Country Music Festival" for 2014." Ross was speechless. Winning this prestigious award in 2013 was unexpected, and to be nominated again, his expression clearly revealed his surprise. Jennifer Robinson, local chapter president of the ICoMA, later stated, "You put on a great event yesterday, my friend. Looking forward to your next one." *****

jQuery is a library for DOM manipulation in Javascript. The DOM is a tree structured view of a HTML page and jQuery allows programming this tree with a "select and manipulate" style. Term-rewriting is a style of programming which adopts a "traverse and match" approach. Rules are written which fire on any matching value and all values in the program are checked against that rule during a traversal of data. While "select and manipulate" is not quite the same as "traverse and match" style, the overlap is considerable.
jQuery (and other libraries using the same "select and manipulate" approach) completely dominate web-application front-end development. Broadly speaking, "select and manipulate" is how modern user interfaces are programmed. Term-rewriting however is a niche idea that has seen very little mainstream take-up. It is my thesis that UI programming of a declarative scene graph is a natural fit with term-rewriting systems and that jQuery's popularity is anecdotal evidence of this. In this article I show how some term-rewriting problems can be solved with jQuery. This is one step on the path to finding out if term-rewriting is a great way to program user interfaces.
101 Companies
101 companies is a corpus of code in many programming languages encoding a number of functions over a hypothetical company structure. Four of the functions are; total the salaries of all employees, cut the salaries in half company-wide, calculate the depth of the company's hierarchy and check managers are given a greater salary (precedence) than anyone who works under them. The total and cut problems are typical term-rewriting tasks. They require all nodes of a certain type in a tree to either be re-written (as in cut) or contribute to an accumulated value (as in total). The depth and precedence problems are not so typical of term-rewriting, but do benefit greatly from being able to find the children of any node without reference to it's type.
The Solution
The Code
The datatype
We don't have a datatype definition for the company structure, it is simply encoded "sensibly" in HTML. However, there are many different ways we could have done this, so here we describe this "sensible" encoding.
All values in the system are encoded as div
nodes, the types are DOM classes, so a "manager" node is a div
with an attribute class="manager"
and a salary node is a div
with an attribute class="salary"
. Children of a value are div
nodes nested below it. We don't use collections, if there are more than one of something, each is a child of the surrounding value. For example, a department with three employees is
<div class="department" ...
<div class="string" ...
<div class="manager" ...
<div class="employee" ...
<div class="employee" ...
<div class="employee" ...
This encoding can't work in general because it loses information, but in the company structure for this task all values which may be multiplies are the last children of their parent value, so we can find them when we need them.
Total calculates the total salary in the company, adding up all managers and all employees. This is completely trivial in jQuery since we can use a single selector to find all such salaries. We then loop over all salaries found, adding their values to an accumulator
function total(){
var t = 0;
$(".salary > .int").contents().each(function(){
t = t + extractFloat(this);
Cut is similarly simple because again we can identify the values to be cut with a single selector. This time we modify those nodes to have new salary values.
function cut(){
$(".salary > .int").contents().each(function(){
var old = extractFloat(this);
setFloat(this, old/2);
and setFloat
are helper methods that allow us to manipulate the floating point number stored as a string in the DOM nodes (DOM nodes only hold strings or other DOM nodes).
The depth task is also solved in a term-rewriting style. The depth
function takes in a dom node (as a jQuery object) and looks for all departments within it, using a selector which picks all nodes with class="department"
. For each department it finds, it calculates the depth of all of its children. The result of this call is the maximum depth of all children plus one if this node is also a department. This particular encoding wastes effort because it calculates the depth of all departments at depth n, n times.
function depth(jqo){
var depts = $(jqo).find(".department")
var depths = jQuery.map(depts,function(a){return depth($(a));});
var add = 0;
if (jqo.attr("class") == "department"){add = 1;}
if (depths.length == 0) {return add;} else {return (Math.max.apply(null, depths) + add);}
The precedence function is not strictly coded in a term-rewriting style, but we use the fact that jQuery can get all the children of a node to allow a concise description of an explicit traversal of the DOM. The check_precedence
function takes two arguments, the maximum allowed salary for all employees below this point in the DOM and the node in the DOM that we are inspecting. You will notice that extracting the salary value from a node is somewhat … messy. I have attempted to stick with jQuery commands rather than bringing in other approaches and jQuery is not well suited to the kind of "by-hand" traversal needed for this job.
function check_precedence(m,jqo){
if (jqo.attr("class") == "department") {
var manager_sal = parseFloat(jqo.children().slice(1,2).children().slice(2,3).first().text())
return allTrue(jqo.children().slice(2).map(function(){return check_precedence(manager_sal, $(this))}));
else if (jqo.attr("class") == "employee") {
var employee_sal = parseFloat(jqo.children().slice(2,3).first().text());
return (m > employee_sal);
else if (jqo.attr("class") == "manager") {
var manager_sal = parseFloat(jqo.children().slice(2,3).first().text());
return (m > manager_sal);
else {
return allTrue(jqo.children().map(function(){return check_precedence(m, $(this))}));
If a department is found, we set that department's manager's salary to the new maximum salary allowed and traverse into each child. If an employee or manager is found we check their salary does not exceed the maximum allowed. For all other nodes we simply traverse into each child node.
I use jQuery every now and then when I have to do web-development, and I have used it in some big projects, but I am by no means an expert. I will be very happy to accept suggestions on how these functions can be better encoded with jQuery.
The latest version of the code in this article can be found in a dedicated repository.

This course is remarkable not so much for its topography as its location: just five blocks from Collins Avenue, the epicenter of South Beach. And then there's the backstory of Miami Beach Golf Club. Opened as Bayshore Golf Course in 1923, it served as an Army training ground during World War II and then was purchased by Miami in the late forties to foil out-of-town real estate speculators who wanted to build homes on the property. The city, which owns the land, eventually took what had become a barely playable muni and spent $10 million to revamp it in 2002 under the direction of Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest. They replaced the Bermuda grass with heat-tolerant seaside paspalum to yield greener fairways and fuller lies, and drained and reshaped a dozen ponds. The result is an artful, well-manicured course that packs plenty of punch. Pay particular attention on the par-three seventeenth, a 183-yarder that requires a carry over water and sand to a steeply sloping green.
2301 Alton Road, Miami Beach; 305-532-3350, miamibeachgolfclub.com. Yardage: 6,813. Par: 72. Slope: 131. Architect: Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest, 2002. Greens Fees: $120–$200.
Don Shula's Golf Club (305-820-8106) is a pleasant resort course that enjoys almost a cult following, thanks in part to the coach's original steakhouse in the adjoining hotel. With its gentle greens and manageable length, the Gold course at Doral (305-592-3000) serves as either an ideal warmup to the mighty Blue Monster or a much needed confidence-restorer afterward; the resort also boasts Greg Norman's desert-style Great White, whose bite was recently softened by the Shark himself. Also worthy are the Country Club of Miami (305-829-4700), home to a pair of Robert Trent Jones Sr. eighteens, and the Diplomat Country Club & Spa (954-883-4444), which displays the touch of Florida design legend Joe Lee.
Where to Stay
The Biltmore This grande dame and National Historic Landmark has been a hub of South Florida social activity since it first welcomed sun-seeking guests in 1926. Nods to contemporary tastes include a fitness center and wellness spa, while the 23,000-square-foot pool, where Esther Williams and Johnny Weissmuller once cavorted, remains a favorite. So do its festive Sunday brunch and the Tuesday-night "Cigars Under the Stars."
1200 Anastasia Avenue, Coral Gables; 305-445-1926, biltmorehotel.com. Rooms: $319–$359. Suites: $389–$1,995.
Doral Golf Resort & Spa It's no wonder PGA Tour pros look forward to this annual stop on the Florida swing. Just seven miles from Miami International Airport, Doral is the quintessential Florida golf resort: five courses and a Jim McLean school, a leading spa, on-site shopping and a camp for the kids. The resort, now operated by Marriott, began its ongoing $40 million renovation in 2004.
4400 N.W. 87th Avenue, Miami; 305-592-2000, doralresort.com. Rooms: $129–$219. Suites: $399–$489.
Ritz-Carlton, South Beach Opened on New Year's Eve 2003, this oceanfront palace sits squarely in the art deco district and is itself a lavishly retrofitted iteration of an art moderne hotel designed by the architect Morris Lapidus in 1953. The new incarnation includes a 16,000-square-foot spa with a tanning butler and, by next fall, a restaurant to be run by Daniel Boulud.
One Lincoln Road, Miami Beach; 786-276-4000, ritzcarlton.com. Rooms: $239–$999. Suites: $400–$5,000.

As far as horror movie antagonists go, a homicidal wall-mounted mirror is pretty iffy. It's hard to build tension when the villain could be killed by a baseball.
But OCULUS is up to the task. We follow Kaylie (Karen Gillan), a young woman obsessed with documenting an allegedly haunted mirror's supernatural powers before destroying it. She's rigged her parents' old house with video cameras, alarms, and even a last-resort "kill switch" in the form of a swinging yacht anchor bolted to the ceiling. Excessive? Not really. For her, it's personal – eleven years ago, her parents purchased the evil antique and went murderously insane. Her brother Tim was institutionalized after being forced to shoot his father, so this is present-day Kaylie's chance to prove Tim's innocence. These parallel stories melt into one as the mirror's powers grow, blurring past into present and raising disturbing questions. Did Kaylie and Tim ever really grow up? Or are they losing their minds, too?
OCULUS toys with these ideas but doesn't overdo it. Luckily, the script is too disciplined to lose its head up its own butt via INCEPTION-style plot convolutions. It's a superb little ghost story that favors smart, psychological chills over loud noises and arterial splatters (although it has those, too). Because the mirror influences what its victims can and can't see, even moments of apparent safety can hide horrific surprises. Imagine biting into an apple – and realizing it's actually a light bulb when the shards crunch between your bloody teeth. This movie perfectly captures the icky discomfort of never quite knowing what's real.
Karen Gillan makes a strong lead. Many horror films simply dump oblivious characters into harm's way like it's feeding time for whatever monster is named in the title, but Kaylie is scrappy, intelligent, and seemingly prepared for everything. It's not until later, when there's no turning back, that she realizes how badly she underestimated her enemy. As we learn that the mirror can hijack human thoughts (its other hobbies include killing houseplants and eating dogs), we begin to wonder if Kaylie's myopic obsession is really of her own free will – or if it's just another fishhook the mirror planted in her brain eleven years ago. Who's targeting who?
Heck, a better title might've been: SERIOUSLY GUYS, JUST LEAVE THE MIRROR ALONE. This is a bleak story about puny humans tangling with an entity that exists beyond time, and Kaylie's plan is, at best, a three-dimensional solution to a four-dimensional problem. Guess how well that goes.
For all its first-rate chills, OCULUS does need you to occasionally meet it halfway. Big chunks of the plot are open to interpretation and the mirror itself is never explained. There's no origin story. It wasn't bullied by the other mirrors in Fred Meyer's home décor section or anything. It's just evil.
But why dilute fear with logic? Accept this movie for what it is and you'll find a nightmare worth having – a classy, devilishly entertaining creepshow that just wants to mess with your head.
And ruin apples forever.

George Campbell @GeorgeCampbell0 12m I have officially decided to commit to THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN #GoBlue #Project136 I know some people are going to panic but it is a long way to signing day in Feb of 2015 he has 18 months to change his mind. Michigan also has a no visit policy so it will be interesting to see if he never visits UF or Clemson again. If he sticks I think there are some big time WR's options for UF in 2015 like Shawn Burgess-Becker & John Burt. UF already has a commit from Da'Vante Phillips
Don't see it sticking but he seems like a very good kid so he may not go back on his word. Michigan fans could understand him wanting to stay closer to home if he does change his mind. Long way to go.
Also he and that Mason Cole kid seem tight probably played a factor as well. If it does stick may they beat down OSU on the reg!
Right now it's a fair trade off. There are plenty of good wr's to pair with Phillips who many like better anyway(including me). We'll have a stock pile of perimeter talent by 2015 and more importantly none of our rivals got him. 2015 is a long way off and things change a lot, especially at wideout, so many guys emerge from their jr to sr years.
Then I guess that would make it ok for all there recruits? If not then there picking and choosing who can and can't which doesn't look good for those who can't. It will be interesting to see
they cant have their number one recruit and face of the class taking visits when other are not allowed to
I just can't see them making him decommit to take vists but I understand what y'all are saying. I honestly think he sticks
They might be able to let him visit Clemson saying he is just visiting a friend but nobody else. You cant have a different rules for different players. He might stick which is fine. Personally I am not worried about UF's WR core anymore after this 2014 class. Plus is we can keep Phillips and pull Burgess Becker it wont even matter.

"Flavourful, fresh tasting sauce, but I didn't like the consistency. Didn't "stick" to the pasta. I pureed the tomatoes as others had suggested, and left uncovered to simmer for almost 3 hours but still found it failed to match the thickness of sauce we usually use."
"I found this to have a really bitter aftertaste that prevented us from really enjoying it. It wasn't terrible, but I won't be making it again."
"These were fantastic, and sooooooo easy. Wifey doesn't usually like eggrolls, but she liked these a lot too. Cooked 3 and froze the rest. Made 18 rolls (I must have doubled up the wrappers on a few) and had lots of filling left over. I'm going to try these with added shrimp and bean sprouts next time. Thanks!"
"Very simple recipe that produces great results. I left this on low over night, and then added an onion, a red and yellow pepper and some mushrooms for the final 4 hours before serving. Turned out great."
"Fantastic! Very quick and easy to make, and it was both moist and flavourful. I added a few shakes of worcestershire sauce to both the loaf and the sauce. I also put the oven on broil at the very end, just to brown the top a bit. Turned out great!"
"These are fantastic. It's a really delicious meal that's quick and easy to make. It only takes about 20 minutes of prep work, so it can be on the table in under an hour. Or put together all the ingredients the night before and leave it in the fridge. Spend 5 minutes rolling the tortillas when you get home from work and by the time you've change..."
"I've tried a bunch of the mac cheese recipes on food.com. This one is the family's favourite by far. Has a very cheesy taste where many others just taste "creamy". After following all the instructions here, I like to put everything in a caserole dish, add a bit more shredded cheese on top and then throw it in the oven for 20 min or so at 350. ..."
"i substituted calabrese salami for the capacola ham, and added about 1/4 cup of tomato sauce to the ricotta mixture as i wanted to add a little "traditional pizza" flavour. was very delicious. This recipe actually made enough for 5 really filling calzones."

i am too embarrassed to ask any friends, but i've totally screwed up my remote. first of all the deaf writing is on the screen. while trying to remove that, i went to menu and somehow now am able to see only a few lower channels, something to do with channel edit and skipping some channels. i just want to be able to view the channels without the writing on the screen. if anyone can tell me what to do, i'll be eternally grateful. i do not have an instruction manual, not sure i ever did, it is a fairly new small set. thank you very much. |

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but we're breaking up. You're the former executive director of the your state's Republican Party. I can appreciate a strong fiscal policy. You live in South Carolina. I hear Charleston is lovely at any time of year. You know how to use Twitter. That's always a plus for a social media user like myself.
But then you tweeted a whole buttload of racist tweets about Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teenager who was shot to death last year. And that shit ain't cool. Keep reading »

It's All Academic: Profs Push NLRB Nomination
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 by AdminShocking! A letter signed by 66 academics demands the immediate confirmation of SEIU counsel Craig Becker to head the National Labor Relations Board. (For a background on why employers are concerned about Mr. Becker's positions, see here.)

Watch 'Beautiful Creatures' Star Alice Englert in Jane Campion's 'The Water Diary'
Features By Christopher Campbell on February 10, 2013 | Be the First To CommentBoth leads in Beautiful Creatures are relative newcomers, but actress Alice Englert is more of an out-of-nowhere choice for such an anticipated adaptation. She's been garnering raves for her performances in festival favorites like Sally Potter's Ginger & Rosa and the recent Sundance debut In Fear, but otherwise this Thursday will really mark her introduction to general moviegoers. And I'll admit, she's excellent in Beautiful Creatures, standing out as a dramatic centerpiece amidst the enjoyable over-the-top stints by Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson and Emmy Rossum. Between that, the other two features I mentioned and Roland Joffe's upcoming Singularity, the 18-year-old could very well be the next big thing, and perhaps the best of such since Jessica Chastain. So, where did she come from? Very literally she came from Jane Campion, the Oscar-nominated director of The Piano. She even had her first real starring role in one of her mother's films, the short The Water Diary, which is part of the feature-length omnibus 8. While IMDb credits this as Englert's first work, she actually made her debut in an earlier short from 2001, Paul Maling's Listen. You can watch that in full over at Alice-Englert.org. After The Water Diary, she appeared in one more short before the hiatus that led up to this year's heavy output. That one, Hannah Cowley's Flame of the West, does not appear to be available online anywhere, but you can check out a trailer that barely features the actress here.

If anyone can help pls:
i am re-doing my showerstall downstairs, would like to know the proper steps to follow.Should i use red guard on the boards to cover everything and the seams? Or can i get away without using it.(house is over 40 yrs old and it seems it was only sheetrock and spackle done in the shower stall ages ago?!...If i use the red guard or similar product can i use pre-mixed thin set on it to tile up? I just need to know how to continue from where im at..thankyou all scott |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know what you mean by redguard or similar on the "boards". What boards? Anyway, you need to lock all the joints together with fiberglass mesh tape and thinset. After that you can redguard, if you like. Tile pros would generally say "no" to using pre-mixed in a wet area. On a separate note, I think it would be helpful to do some reading before you proceed. The johnbridge tile forums are a great place to go for this. |
Make sure you put a good complete layer of redguard (or other applied barrier). ANY defects in the film will allow water to penetrate. |
