We just upgraded to 2013 Civil 3D from 2011 Civil 3D. We sometimes work with large files (40mb to 60mb), and had been having problems with Autocad crashing. We had good luck upgrading our computers, which solved almost all of our problems while we were using 2011.
Since we've upgraded to 2013 Civil 3D, we're back to the same problem. Autocad freezes, then crashes (seemingly at random). Typically we don't even have a crash report. It's only with larger files, but our computers should not be the problem. It's very frustrating as we lose a lot of time that we don't have. Even if Autosave recovers some of our work, we have to figure out what wasn't saved.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help solve this problem. Thanks.
Good morning Karen
I was having challenges with C3D13 crashing when closing the program.
My friend Seth in Manchester suggested applying this hotfix: http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=DL20100771
So far so good...
Hope this helps others.
Afternoon Karen,
Hopefully you're still doing this. I"m having severe issues with Civil 3D 2013. Issues like crashes during save at 93%, after I've replaced a structure or a style of a structure, or just flat out moved the structure in pipe networks. Doesn't matter what I do it crashes.
Also Pressure networks issues causing save issues as well. So it's not just a Pipe network issue.
If you can help please let me know.
Heidi B.
Yes I'm filing a CER every time it happens.
Hi Heidi,
I would be happy to take a look at what might be going on. Would you mind if we corresponded by email rather than on this thread?
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can begin.

Given the current Cloud "buzzwords" and direction that Autodesk seems to be going, its a great shame that when attempting to access 360 in Civil 3D I get a crash every time. I have raised a support ticket but no resolution and have submitted all the CER's.
I have got a swf video of what happens but can't upload to this forum
I have crashes using using Civil 3D 2013 with
1. The AUDIT command, the software just hangs up.
2. With Trimble Link, I just have to press the export surface button, and AutoCAD crashes. Other Trimble Link functions act the same way, it only takes a few more button pushes, dialogs etc to get to the crash.
3. I've had crashes dragging cogo point labels.Seems to occur with points that have no elevation, but the label style includes an elevation field.
4. Some drawings just seem to get crashy, running a RECOVER works if the report indicates errors found, if no errors reported the problem hasn't been solved so I start a new drawing and copy drawing elements bit by bit, save over the old drawing and the crashing stops.
Have to admit I stopped completing the crash reports years ago because of no feedback ever, eventually just believed they went into a bit bucket at Autodesk, so why bother.
Generally a lot of the progress indicators seem to have been removed, and I sometimes don't know whether the software has hung up or is just taking a while to work through a task.
Previously used to run AutoCAD 2012 on a HP Pavilion DV7 2014tx 8GB RAM 2x500GB HDDs, Win7, purchased August 2009.
I've now moved to a Clevo Metabox using an Intel i7 3720QM 2.6Ghz 8 core, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M 4GB, 256GB SSD and second 740GB hybrid drive.
Apart from a startling improvement in start-up time for AutoCAD Civil 3D from 2 minutes+ down to about 15 seconds, the crashes have reduced down to an (equally startling) less than 10% (!!) of what I experienced before, to the point where (apart from the Trimble Link BS) crashing is not really a major problem as was the case with for example the Civil 3D 2007 release.
Guess I'm saying bad hardware does have an effect, something I never really appreciated before. The previous Hewlett Packard hardware I had was just substandard, the machine cost me $3700 at the time, just took for granted it was a good machine.
We have 8 Dell computers with I5 processors, 8GB RAM running Civil 3D in my survey office with some crappy video cards, not ideal machines, but somehow I get far less reports of crashing than expected.
Just my two cents worth.... Don't know if it helps.

Hi all. I just potted up my new Agave Mateo and now noticed there are some burnt leaves.
The same thing happened with my Aloe 'Thin Lad' except I haven't even transplanted that yet, so I am thinking they probably were in a shadier spot at the nursery. The other agaves (lophantha quadricolor and Cream Spike) which I did transplant,look fine, so maybe Agave 'Mateo' is extra sensitive to sun? This is a mild Sf bay area climate, the nursery is in a slightly warmer microclimate, so I didn't think it would burn, but I guess it was hot a couple of days ago when I transplanted it.
Thanks! |

A few weeks will do it for acclimatizing, and they'll both eventually grow out of the damage, especially in so propitious a climate. |

The Sample: Jurlique Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer and Rose Hand Cream (Review & Photos)
11 Jan
Well folks, we've reached the last 2 products from Jurlique's Most Wanted Kit: the Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer and the Rose Hand Cream. Let's get started!
The Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer is a great, hardworking product that's perfect for throwing into your purse/makeup bag and toting around-especially during cold and flu season. What's great about this hand sanitizer is that it really is moisturizing. The scent isn't too strong at all and smells very natural and herbal-y…like mint and witch hazel. It does not contain triclosan-but does contain many beneficial elements like lavender, peppermint, sage, and calendula. There's not too much else I can say about this product…I mean, it's a hand sanitizer. But, it is the best hand sanitizer that I have ever used-so there's that. It's non-drying, moisturizing, doesn't irritate my nose or skin, is natural, and gets the job done. What more could you ask for? This 1.7 oz. bottle retails for $6.50 individually.
Lastly, we have the Rose Hand Cream. Obviously as the name infers, this is a rose-scented hand cream. But when I say rose, I mean rose. Take the Rosewater Balancing Mist and times it by about 25 and you'll get the scent of the hand cream. This bad boy is pretty darn potent! Again, like I mentioned with the Rosewater Balancing Mist, the scent is lovely-just a little too strong for my taste. That is the main problem I have with Jurlique products: they feel heavenly on the skin and would smell heavenly too, if only they toned it down a notch or two. Plus, the fragrance in the hand cream lingers a helluva lot longer than the mist or gel. It's pretty much a perfume in cream form-so this hand cream is not for the weak of heart (or in this case, nose).
The cream itself, however, is quite luxurious. It instantly smoothes and softens my hands no matter how nasty and cracked they are from the cold weather. A dollop less than the size of a pea is all you need for baby-soft hands. Seriously, my hands felt sooo velvety! And I will say that after consistently using this product, my nose did adapt to the fragrance. It's just a little overwhelming at first-especially since the creams and lotions I usually use are unscented or lightly scented. Something I didn't like about this product was the packaging. Well I liked the packaging itself (a metal tube like toothpaste), but the problem is if you dent the the tube while it still has a lot of product in it, every time you open the cap the cream will start to ooze out and won't stop until you close it again. Every time that happened I would end up having to use about a quarter sized product that had oozed out when all you really need is a pea-size.
Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer
Pros: moisturizes, sanitizes, triclosan-free, contains natural ingredients, non-irritating, non-drying, pleasant natural herbal-y smell
Cons: none!!
Rose Hand Cream
Pros: very rich, very moisturizing, nice fragrance, makes your hands feel velvety-soft, natural ingredients
Cons: packaging forces too much product out, fragrance is too strong
»Overall Rating for Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer: A+
»Overall Rating for Rose Hand Cream: B+
»Overall Rating for Most Wanted Kit: B+

"First of all- very tasty!

"I know this has had a lot of raves- but if you are on South Beach or want decreased carbs etc. this was really good! I added 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp cocoa powder, used vanilla no sugar added yogurt. I think I will try to make it even more spicey next time.I ate the rest of the yogurt with it- then I got a whole dairy serving. If you are on Phase 2- ..."
"I thought the taste and texture of the meatballs were very good. But the sauce was too skimpy and kind of blah for me. I'm searching for a lime/soy/sesame sauce that works better. But again, I thought the meatballs were yummy."
"These are so good and decadent! I didn't stack them- and used pecans but otherwise made them just as described- yummy!"
"I made this for a work brunch and it was a big hit. I sprinkled some cheese on top, and was too lazy to add the garlic. The Knorr "secret ingredient" is what makes this recipe the BEST cheese grits casserole!"
"I chopped the pecans for easier cutting. Otherwise made it as written. Held together well, tasted great- many compliments received."
"I made four of these for a big party - doubled the recipe with no problem. For each recipe I doubled the apples, left out the raisens, made it in a sheet cake pan and everyone went crazy for it! I will make this again and again!"

Community Facilities Direct Loans and Grants provide funding for essential community facilities (CF), such as municipal buildings, day care centers, and health and safety facilities. Examples include fire halls, fire trucks, clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals. CF loans and grants may also be used for such things as activity centers for the handicapped, schools, libraries, and other community buildings. Applicants must be unable to borrow money elsewhere at rates and terms to make the project affordable. Leveraging is highly recommended due to limited CF allocations.
Applications are scored on a priority point system based upon population, median household incomes, and if health and safety needs are being met by the proposal. The amount of grant funds provided for a facility shall not exceed 75% of the cost of developing the facility. Grants are limited to no more than 50% of the State allocation or $50,000, whichever is greater.
Maximum loan term is for 40 years or the useful life of the security, whichever is less.
Rate is dependent on the median household income of the borrower. The lowest current rate is 4.25%.
Usually a revenue bond, if the loan is to a public body, otherwise a note and a mortgage. Repayment is from revenue use of the facility and backed by taxes if a public body.

The designated resource for guidance about journal budgets - subscription revenue, Berkeley Law funds awarded by the Dean, and operating balances carried forward from previous years - is the Berkeley Law Chief Financial Officer, Laurent Heller. Laurent is the designated "owner" of the journal budgets, the individual responsible to the Dean and to the central campus for confirming that sufficient funds are available to support journal activities and for approving requested journal expenditures. The Publications Coordinator deposits incoming revenues and processes expenditures against journal budgets in accordance with directives issued by the CFO.
Journals are strongly encouraged to consult with the CFO to develop a budget strategy for the academic year and to consult with the Publications Coordinator about spending those funds effectively.
Laurent Heller
201 Boalt Hall #7200
Journal business transactions are recorded in the Berkeley Financial System (BFS) using a "Chart of Accounts" which consists of seven chartfields. Each chartfield describes a different facet of the financial transaction. The combination of chartfield values is called a chartstring:
A chartstring provides a framework for categorizing financial information and organizes financial information in meaningful ways. Each journal has been assigned a unique organization value ("org ID"). One or more separate fund values may be attached to the unique org ID, depending on what sources of money are available to the journal. Other chartfield values are defined by the campus, except optional project and flexfield values which are not used by the journals. The CFO and Publications Coordinator are resources for journal chartstring information.

20 Tie-Dye Pieces That Won't Make You Look Like a Hippie
Editorial Intern
Thought it's been touted as a trend for several seasons running, tie-dye hasn't always had the best reputation. Often, it conjures up a lot of not-so-chic associations: muddy music festivals, backyard childhood crafts, Phish-heads. Simply put, it's always seemed like a daunting print to incorporate into one's wardrobe. But not anymore! This season, there are so many luxurious-looking tie-dye pieces on the market, we guarantee nobody will look at you and flash back to the Woodstock documentary they saw on VH1. Click through for 20 seriously sophisticated multicolored finds that'll leave you looking hip—but not at all like a hippie.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
This is the second post in Wendy Torrance's series on higher education. See the first post here.
Entrepreneurship is flourishing on campuses around the country. In classrooms and through co-curricular programs and competitions, at universities large and small, and representing disciplines across the spectrum, students on diverse campuses have the opportunity to understand the role of entrepreneurship in the economy, explore innovation, test their own ideas, and learn what they need to know to become entrepreneurs.
If you are an educator or administrator thinking about enhancing or launching entrepreneurship programs on your campus, a set of papers recently released by the Kauffman Foundation may provide insights that are helpful to you. Some of the challenges faced by your colleagues on other campuses may resonate with you, and you may find that some of the solutions they've adopted may suit the circumstances on your campus.
What are some of the challenges campuses face? Among them are creating opportunities for students on a wide spectrum – from those merely interested or curious in seeking exposure to the idea of entrepreneurship to those serious about starting a company. Many campuses have created a broad spectrum of courses to offer in order to address this challenge, creating a funnel that narrows to capture those students most interested in putting their knowledge into practice.
On many campuses it is a challenge to overcome the stereotypes of entrepreneurship. Solutions to this have come from engaging faculty across the disciplines, encouraging different schools and departments to define entrepreneurship for themselves (often including language such as creativity, innovation, and problem solving). Another challenge involves finding meaningful ways to measure the impact of entrepreneurship programs. Engaging in thoughtful discussions about learning goals outcomes in the planning and design process can help to better assess the results of any educational program. Campuses across the country have adopted different strategies for understanding the impact of their programs.
On some of the most entrepreneurial campuses, university leaders and students have identified ways to "talk about entrepreneurship everywhere all the time" and have created a thriving culture that supports entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial ambitions. The fact that entrepreneurship doesn't limit itself to one subject or industry makes it easily adaptable to whatever focus you, as an educator, might be involved in.
What are some other ways campuses are trying to infuse entrepreneurship into the mainstream curriculum?

The last time I did a tutorial was a good 9 months ago. Wow. I could've given birth over that span of time…
I did this look for a movie outing over the weekend. It's a simple but great way to add color to a natural look. You can substitute teal with other bright colors such as green, purple, yellow etc. Darker shades would work too but there will be less contrast with the black liner.
Items Used:
Anna Sui Spot Concealer in 03, Lancome Blanc Miracle Powder Foundation in O-03, Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC Paint Pot in Vintage Selection [base], Everyday Minerals Blush in Waffle Cone [base], Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in #21 [liner], MAC Eyeshadow in Double Feature 4 (Teal) [liner], Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner Pen [liner], Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Darkhorse [bottom liner], MAC Eyeshadow in Ricepaper [highlight], Shu Uemura Hard 9 Pencil in Seal Brown, Maybelline The Falsies Mascara, Shu Uemura Blush in M Orange 55, Korres Jasmine Lip Butter Glaze
When you list every single product out it does look overwhelming, doesn't it?
I kept the base makeup light with just some concealer on my dark areas and then set everything with a sheer layer of powder foundation.
After prepping the lids with an eyeshadow primer, I applied a nude pearl cream eyeshadow and set it with a matching eyeshadow (though technically I used a blush). With the teal cream eyeshadow, I created a winged out line as the base then applied teal eyeshadow over the base.
Following the shape of the teal line, I applied the black liquid eyeliner closer to the lash line. After that, I applied a shimmery dark brown eyeshadow just to define the bottom lash line and applied a warm-toned highlight right under the brows. To finish the eye makeup, I filled in my brows, curled my lashes and applied mascara.
For the cheeks, I used a peach-colored blush which. I tend to prefer pairing teal eyes with a warm blush. On the lips, I used a sheer light pink gloss.

The Foothills Country Fair is moving its dates to the month of July and adding a Kansas City Barbecue Society cook-off to the 2012 list of events.
Executive Director Louie Alford said the fair will run July 26-29 with the cooking events held July 27-28 which he hopes will attract 35 teams competing for $10,000 in prize money. With the assistance of State Sen. Mike Bell and State Reps. Eric Watson and Kevin Brooks, Gov. Bill Haslam approved the first-time event as a state championship.
Local businessman and professional barbecuer Bill Wheeler hopes to be on the winning team by the time all the smoke clears.
Wheeler became involved in professional cooking pretty much due to his frustration as a backyard barbecuer and his inability to cook a brisket that was fit to eat.
"I cooked one brisket and threw it in the garbage," he said. "No one even knew I cooked it. I cooked it, took it off the smoker and my Sue didn't even know I cooked it. It was so bad, I threw it in the garbage and never told a soul until after I cooked my first real brisket in competition."
He commented the meat didn't turn out too bad considering it was his second attempt at cooking the toughest piece of meat on a cow.
Sue tried to correct his math and that's when he confessed.
But, how to cook a brisket was the only thing Bill and Sue wanted to learn from a class they took a couple of years ago.
"I've never cooked a good brisket and I wanted to learn to cook that," he said. "I never dreamed we'd get to be on a team."
But, the couple has been cooking on a professional barbecue team for the past two years since they attended a barbecue class in Georgia taught by Myron Mixon.
Mixon holds the record for having won more titles than anyone else in Kansas City Barbeque Society history. The resident of the small town of Unadilla, Ga., population about 3,000, has appeared on several television shows including "Pitmaster," "Good Morning America," and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
They began cooking professionally a few months later with a competition team named Que'n Stew'n & Brew'n. Scott Smith, of Kennesaw, Ga., is the pitmaster.
"We've won three grand championships and achieved the highest score ever recorded in brisket last year," Wheeler said. "We scored a 'perfect-perfect 180' brisket. It was the highest in the state of Georgia and I don't know at this time if anybody else has ever scored a perfect-perfect 180."
A sanctioned Kansas City Barbecue Society competition is scored by a panel of six certified judges who rate the meat in each of four categories on appearance, taste and tenderness. Each judge scores the chicken, pork, ribs and brisket on a scale of 1 to 9. The lowest score is dropped. The highest score is 180.
"The way we got a perfect-perfect is because the judges gave all 9's in every category [for the couple's brisket entry]," he said. "Normally, you'll have five judges who give a perfect score and one judge who will maybe give you a seven or eight. They throw the low score out so you can still score a perfect. We've scored perfect in brisket twice, but only one perfect-perfect."
Bill and Sue also have their own team called "Chicken Butt BBQ," a name that came from their grandson.
"They wouldn't print that on our T-shirt at Disney World. They said it was offensive because it was a body part," he said.
The husband and wife team cooked last year in a national competition sponsored by Sam's Club where only qualified teams were invited to cook for $100,000 in prize money.
Chicken Butt BBQ finished sixth in Birmingham to qualify for the regional competition in Jackson, Tenn.

what are the best way to store knives. we are remodeling our kitchen and not sure what to do. i don't really like the old wooden block that we've used but i've also heard its not great to store in a drawer ... any thoughts?
thanks! |

We have ours on magnetic strips on the side of a cabinet by the sink. We actually built a small nook in the cabinet - a recessed area, deep enough for the strips/knives, covered by a door so it was hidden. I may have pictures in the camera, give me a few days to dig it up! |

I use the magnetic strip also and have always liked it, but in my old 1910 house, the strip doesn't fit flush with the wall the way it should. Therefore, some of the knives aren't as secure as they should be. But, it's just me in the kitchen and I take extra care when I put them on the strip. |
I keep the large knives in a drawer with a knife insert. Then small paring knives go on magnetic strips near the place of useage. I agree that those large counter top blocks take up too much room. |
I have the block that attaches under an upper cabinet and swivels out to move the knives to you. IIRC, Wusthof sells a version of this, but so do others. Magnetic strips inside wood slots. Holds eight knives and a round steel. The link below shows this knife block. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Swiveling under-cab knife block
I use a magnetic strip mounted in a drawer. In this way, the knives are out of the way yet easily accessible. Also, no guessing which knife you are grabbing, as you can see the entire knife. If using magnetic strips on a wall, the 'pro' trick is to mount two strips, one above another, generally seperated by an inch or so. In this way, longer knives are supported by two strips. |
I got the idea to use a knife strip from this forum and I just love it. It's so handy to just grab a knife. It also makes it look like I'm a serious cook, lol. I liked it so much I bought a second one and now I put EVERYTHING on it that I use often, from melon baller to can opener. |
I read elsewhere in this forum about a commercial system made by Edlund that stores knives in a slotted holder that is fitted into an opening on a countertop. I am not a fan of magnet strips because the knives become magnetized. The under the counter swivel system is nice; I have a similar unit that is attached to Metro shelveing in my small apt kitchen. Similar unit could be mounted on a wall. |
Anyone know where to get the Edlund system that nancyo ca mentioned above? |
My friend had slots put into the counter when she remodeled -- she says it was the best part of her remodel ) |

My knife storage is on a magnetic block that sits on a lazy susan on the counter. I have very little wall space, and putting them in a central location lets me access them wherever I am. I have many different prep areas in my kitchen so this works for me. |
What happens when the knives become magnetized? I can't think of a disadvantage (or advantage) to that. ? |
maybe magnetized knives let you get alien messages through your dental filngs. (sorry) |
- Posted by JessyFeldm_speakeasy (My Page) on Sun, May 8, 05 at 20:24
DAYENU! dayenu! LOL. |
I too would like to find a replacement for the old countertop wooden block. Takes up too much room, yet they need to be handy. I am also sick of the look. Not modern enough and too much country kitchen looking. Mom has the magnetic strip and likes it, so maybe that is what I will try next, though I do not like the idea of drilling holes in my backsplash....I also have the wooden drawer insert, which I also like, but have run out of room for that too. I simply MUST stop making those trips to Sur Le Table and Williams-Sonoma, or I'll have to get a bigger house. Lynne |

Hello from Sydney Australia!
I just found this forum last night and I've read heaps of post and looked at lots of photos, wow some beautiful work. I've been making and selling stained glass art for a few years now and love it with a passion but I need help. I really want to make big mosiac water bowls for outside to float candles or flowers in, my problem is that I love black grout and whenever I fill a black grouted bowl with water and leave it for any length of time the grout seems to bleed white powder almost like salt, even with glass on glass applications so it's not the surface. The latest grout I used is called Mapie ultra colour and is made specifically for swimming pools and it still does it, I have talked to lots of experts/trades men and they say it must be the glue I use(silicon), so I did a test bowl not gluing anything on it, I just smeared the grout around the bowl let dry way over the recommended time, filled it with water and it still went white.
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Deb! I've never heard of that before. I just did my dog with GOG and used black grout, actually same brand you have Mapie and it has not turned white at all. I've even sealed it after with Tile lab sealer and then I varnished it with a regular outdoor varnish and it's still black. Would it depend perhaps on how long you leave it with the water? I only add a few drops of water at a time until it gets to a creamy consistency and then I use it. If you do find out why, let us know for sure. Good Luck! |
i'm not sure if this will help but could it be that the water you're using to mix your grout has a lot of minerals in it? same thing for the water you're filling your finished bowls with? i'm wondering if what you're seeing isn't grout at all, but minerals that have settled (which would show up a lot against black grout.) i'd try mixing the grout powder with filtered or bottled water, in case that's the problem. maybe try filling a finished bowl with that, too, just to see. the water in our last city was extremely hard and my black grout would turn light gray upon drying. once i switched to filtered water, my grout stayed dark. |
I agree with Joy, I think its minerals in the water... can you buy some distilled water? |
check this company out. They make a grout stain in hundreds of colors . It casn be used to recolor any grout. They have a good technical department you can call. www.goutdye.com |
- Posted by iminmystudio (My Page) on Sun, Feb 1, 09 at 16:35
thanks for the replies, I will try distilled water in a small bowl, but if that is the only solution it won't be sustainable as the bowls I am talking about hold roughly 60 litres of water, I really need to just fill them up with the hose. Thanks for the web site I had a quick look lots of interesting products. I might just have to use grey grout:( Thanks again Deb. |
You shouldn't have to fill it with distilled water, just make your grout with it |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Thu, Feb 12, 09 at 10:38
This might help. I use the Mapei brand also, but when I grout outside things, I use the mortar for grout. You can color it w/pigment or Tints All. |

I love this.
by Julene - reviewed on December 12, 2010
I am so pleased with this, it came very securely packaged and the only issue I had was that one tree had the floral tape loose and was hard to get in the base. I have this on a low round table and it is so beautiful at night, the lights are in the base and so you don't have to deal with that. There is not a lot of color in the buildings, except the Lion House, but, the roofs have color and the light shines through. I moved away from Utah seven years ago, this summer I was able to take my Granddaughter to temple square and it is so nice to be able to bring a little Utah to where I am now. I will keep this up year round, it isn't too heavy in the Christmas look, but the lights are very mild and so pretty to look at.
beautiful set
by Customer - reviewed on December 13, 2010
this is a beautiful set...was really appreciated at our local nativity event. love how there are lights for some of the buildings. it is set up so the individual buildings can be on display without the base
by Elisabeth - reviewed on December 10, 2010
And beautiful! But like I said, it's big (26x26"). So be sure to have enough space for it. The Christmas Village Set base will fit nicely on a dining table, and perhaps a wider coffee table, but not on a console table or a smaller/narrower surface area. The reason why I bought the Christmas Village Set is it reminds me of my mission on Temple Square. As a Return TSqM sister missionary, this set holds a lot of meaning for me. So I was extremely excited when I saw it in the catalogue. Then when I discovered it was on sale for a limited time online, you bet I nabbed it! The trees (the ones that you place inside the provided stumps on the base) light up, including the buildings. I have not tried it at night yet (it arrived today and I have just set it up), but I'm looking forward to it! A couple of caveats. My shipment arrived via FedEx and the box came upside down. Which resulted with a broken Assembly Hall (a couple of the spires broke off). Also, the trees do not all fit the stumps well. Some need to be wedged in, and others are just too big. Only one out of the four trees that came with the set I received fill well in the stumps. I managed to wedge in another, but it somewhat smashed the outer coating and damaged some of the inner material... I'd rather not wedge a tree containing fiber optic lighting. However, Deseret Book Customer Service was fabulous. I spoke with a real nice lady, and they will be replacing the Assembly Hall, including the trees, and will ship them off to me, at no extra charge. One thing that I was told is the replacement trees may not be too much different as those that I have now. If one fit, then I told her I have faith that others will too, so I'm taking the chance. For Deseret Book's wonderful Customer Service, I give 5 stars. For the Christmas Village Set, it's lovely, but with all the trouble I've experienced, I give it 4, even though I will be receiving a replacement Assembly Hall. The trees, however, we'll see how the next shipment turns out.

It's something that's cost New Mexico a lot of business.
A sales tax on commercial planes.
Buyers have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales tax.
And New Mexico companies, like AerSale, say they've been watching businesses just fly away.
"Even today we are losing work form companies that say look I don't want to maintain the airplane here, I'm going to fly it someplace where I don't have to pay taxes," said Robert Nichols, Chief Operating Officer for AerSale. "Airlines are competing very hard to hold their cost down. They are watching their pennies."
In surrounding states like Colorado, Texas, and Arizona, there's no sales tax at all.
And today, New Mexico joined them.
Governor Susana Martinez signed a bill eliminating taxes on the sale of commercial aircraft.
The big aviation companies in New Mexico say this is huge. Now more companies will come to New Mexico to do business resulting in at least 125 jobs in Roswell alone.
"Because of the hard work of these legislators, we've now got a level playing field, that's going to attract a lot more work," said Nichols.
Along with jobs, the bill is estimated to have a total economic impact of 10.5 million dollars in New Mexico.
The bill goes into effect July 1.

Suglia SF et al. – There seems to be gender differences in the effects of cumulative social risk factors on the prevalence of obesity at 5 years of age. Understanding the social context of families could make for more effective preventive efforts to combat childhood obesity.
Methods- Maternal reports of intimate partner violence, food insecurity, housing insecurity, maternal depressive symptoms, maternal substance use, and father's incarceration were obtained when the child was 1 and 3 years of age.
- Two cumulative social risk scores were created by summing the 6 factors assessed at ages 1 and 3 years.
- Child height and weight were measured at 5 years of age.
- Logistic regression models stratified according to gender were used to estimate the association between cumulative social risk and obesity, adjusting for sociodemographic factors.
- Seventeen percent of children were obese at age 5 years, and 57% had at least 1 social risk factor.
- Adjusting for sociodemographic factors, girls experiencing high cumulative social risk at age 1 year only (odds ratio [OR]: 2.1 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1–4.1]) or at 3 years only (OR: 2.2 [95% CI: 1.2–4.2]) were at increased odds of being obese compared with girls with no risk factors at either time point.
- Those experiencing high cumulative risk at age 1 and 3 years were not at statistically significant odds of being obese (OR: 1.9 [95% CI: 0.9–4.0]). No significant associations were noted among boys.

@article{DBLP:journals/csur/JarkeV85, author = {Matthias Jarke and Yannis Vassiliou}, title = {A Framework for Choosing a Database Query Language}, journal = {ACM Comput. Surv.}, volume = {17}, number = {3}, year = {1985}, pages = {313-340}, ee = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/5505.5506}, bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de} }
This paper presents a systematic approach to matching categories of query language interfaces with the requirements of certain user types. The method is based on a trend model of query language development on the dimensions of functional capabilities and usability. From the trend model the following are derived: a classification scheme for query languages, a criterion hierarchy for query language evaluation, a comprehensive classification scheme of query language users and their requirements, and preliminary recommendations for allocating language classes to user types.

Before your child returns to school, you will need to meet with school staff and administrators (the principal, your child's teachers, the school nurse and others who will be working with your child) in order to explain any special needs or supervision your child may require while at school.
The school's major concern will be what to do if your child has an "event," a medical issue like a catheter becoming dislodged, nausea and vomiting, fainting or passing out. Whom do they call? What immediate measures should they be prepared to take? How likely is any specific event to occur at all? We suggest that parents provide school personnel with emergency contact information for their child's oncology team in case any urgent medical needs arise. Schools should also be informed that they should immediately notify parents and/or a child's healthcare team for the following issues:
Below is a list of other important topics you will want to discuss with the school.
You should also talk with the school about "accommodations," or changes in certain rules that make it easier for your child to remain in school and do well. Common accommodations include:
In most schools, the principal or other administrators can approve these simple changes in routine. Occasionally, schools will request a physician's recommendation. Less common accommodations include allowing extra time to take a test, taking a test in a separate room to minimize distraction, or having someone read the test to your child. These kinds of changes often require that the school develop a 504 Plan with you and your child's teachers.

Home › About TU › News, Events and Publications › University News › Tulsa gets Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl Invite
Sunday, December 04, 2011
TU Golden Hurricane will face the BYU Cougars on December 30th.
The University of Tulsa has accepted an invitation today to play in the 2011 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Tulsa is making its 18th bowl game in school history and the school's seventh bowl game in the last nine years.
Tulsa (8-4, 7-1 C-USA) will face the BYU Cougars (9-3) on Friday, December 30 at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The contest will kickoff at 11 a.m. (CST) on the SMU campus. BYU completed its regular season with a road victory on Saturday night at Hawaii, 41-20.
As the official bowl game that honors all branches of the United States armed forces, the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl will air on ESPN and ESPN Radio. Tulsa will be competing in the NCAA postseason for the second-straight year after posting a 62-35 win over Hawai'i at the 2010 Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl.
Tickets for the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl are available from the TU Athletic Ticket Office for $40 and can be purchased online at www.tulsahurricane.com by calling 918.631.GoTU (4688) or by stopping by the Reynolds Center Ticket Office, Mon-Fri., 8:30-5 pm.
TU alumni and friends, not able to attend the game, are encouraged to Send-a-Student to the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl by calling the TU athletic ticket office at 918.631.GoTU (4688) or Brian Scislo at 918.631.3725.
For all travel, hotel and pre-game reservations TU fans can go online at www.TUAlumni.com/bowl or call Spears Travel at 918.254.1608.
"It's very exciting to be invited to the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Anytime you're partnered with anything having to do with our U.S. Military is a wonderful thing. There has been very good history in this bowl. Selfishly, we're excited to be going to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I think it gives us an opportunity to engage our fan base and the timing couldn't be better. Fans will have time to celebrate a little holiday time and then finish that up with a Friday morning Bowl game," said Tulsa Head Coach Bill Blankenship.
"There are very few teams in the country that have a richer tradition than BYU. They're known coast-to-coast. BYU is a tremendously successful program for a long time," added Blankenship.
The BYU-Tulsa matchup will be the eighth time the two teams have faced each other with the Cougars holding a 6-1 edge. The lone Golden Hurricane win in the series was in the last meeting with Tulsa defeating visiting BYU 55-47 on September 15, 2007. In the seven games, the two schools have combined to average 73.3 points a contest.
"We're excited to host Tulsa for the second time," said the bowl's executive director, Brant Ringler. "Coach Blankenship's team features an exciting brand of football and the 2011 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl should be high-scoring, featuring two of the nation's top offenses."
Tulsa finished the 2011 regular season by winning seven of their last eight games, including a 7-1 Conference USA West Division mark where the Golden Hurricane finished second to undefeated Houston. All four of the Golden Hurricane setbacks in 2011 were to schools ranked among the top 10 teams in the current BCS rankings (Oklahoma State, third; Houston, sixth; Boise State, seventh; and Oklahoma, 10th).
The Hurricane will be making their second appearance in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl as Tulsa dropped a 25-13 decision to Utah in the 2006 game at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth. In their next three bowl appearances, the Golden Hurricane posted post-season wins at the GMAC (2008 and 2009) and Hawai'i (2010) bowls.
"We are very excited to host Tulsa for the second time," said the bowl's executive director, Brant Ringler. "Coach Bill Blankenship's team features an exciting brand of football and the 2011 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl should be high-scoring, featuring two of the nation's top offenses."
Both Tulsa (454.4) and BYU (410.8) are averaging over 400 total yards per game with the Hurricane averaging 34.1 points a game and BYU scoring 29.6 points per contest. BYU will be looking to win its ninth regular-season game as the Cougars play at Hawai'i this Saturday. Two of three BYU defeats this season have been to BCS ranked teams, including TCU (18th) and Texas (22nd).
"The fact that BYU and Tulsa used to be in the same conference, the Western Athletic Conference, we certainly are no strangers to BYU and vice versa. We played a very exciting game at home in 2007 with an offensive shootout that a lot of people still talk about. I think BYU is certainly an opponent that people will get excited about with what can happen on the field between these two teams," said Blankenship.
"Coach Mendenhall has done a fabulous job in putting his fingerprints on the program, Blankenship added. "They appear to be a highly disciplined, very effective and detailed program. It shows that they are a very well coached team with a lot of tradition."
UCF of Conference USA was the one common opponent on both Tulsa and BYU's 2011 schedule with the Golden Hurricane and Cougars both defeating the Knights 24-17. BYU's UCF game was September 23 in Provo to give the Cougars a 43-12-1 all-time record against current C-USA schools. Tulsa's victory over the Knights was November 3 in Orlando, Fla.
Owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television (ERT), the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl has featured a military theme since 2006. Patriotic overtones recognizing all five branches of the military are prevalent throughout the game. Past Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowls have included fan-fest areas showcasing military hardware; flyovers; demonstrations by several of the military's top skydiving teams; the awarding of a custom home to a wounded warrior; on-field induction ceremonies; military bands and honor guards; and the awarding of the annual "Great American Patriot Award" (GAPA) presented by Armed Forces Insurance.

Carroll Gardens House is comprised of four apartments within two brownstones. One brownstone is located on President Street and the other on Sackett Street, just two blocks away. Each features two apartments.
Carroll Gardens is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. The area is named for Charles Carroll, a revolutionary war veteran who was also the only Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. Carroll Park, a block-long area of playgrounds, walkways and sitting areas between Court and Smith Streets, with Carroll Street as its southern boundary, was constructed in the late 19th century and is also named for Carroll.
A long-standing Italian American neighborhood of family-run stores, Carroll Gardens is now sprinkled with cafes, boutiques and antique shops. It shares its northern boundary with Cobble Hill at Degraw Street and Boerum Hill at Warren Street, while extending south to Hamilton Avenue and Red Hook. Prior to the gentrification movement in the mid-1960s, this part of South Brooklyn was considered by residents to be part of Red Hook. In the late 1940s, however, the southern tip of Red Hook was cut off from the rest of the neighborhood by the building of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and Gowanus Expressway, and the area now known as Carroll Gardens took on a separate and distinct character of its own. Today, Carroll Gardens is a middle-class, upscale community, while Red Hook, which had retained its working-class, waterfront ambience, has only recently begun to feel the effects of gentrification.
Before Italian Americans settled in the area, Carroll Gardens was settled by Irish Americans in the early 19th century and, in the mid-19th century, by Norwegian Americans. They founded the Norwegian Seamans' Church, an imposing brownstone structure that was once visited by the King of Norway during an official visit to the United States, and which still stands (although it is now a condominium) on the corner of First Place and Clinton Street. In 1846, Richard Butts created the front "gardens" to the famous brownstone houses in the oldest section of the neighborhood. The brownstones are set back from the street by 30-40 feet, to create atypical (for Brooklyn) large front gardens. The Carroll Gardens Historic District, which includes some of the finest examples of these brownstones with large front gardens, is bounded roughly by Carroll Street to the south, President Street to the north, Hoyt Street to the east and Smith Street to the west.

This is really a "Home away from home" for me. I have a grandchild just 2 blocks from the apartment and have been a regular guest. Joe and Jamie have made a lovely and comfortable place to enjoy and relax in. I just wouldn't stay anywhere else (unless they're booked). The apartment is a great value for Brooklyn which suffers from a lack of hotel accommodation near neighborhoods. This apartment is also just steps away from the F train and many great restaurants. Perfect!
Karen Tucker Burleson, Texas
My daughter and I had a "girl's weekend" at your brownstone. The location was great - literally just a few steps from the subway terminal. We went all over Manhattan - saw Wicked, ate some wonderful food (there are some good restaurants within a block of the property also), and shopped ALOT. When we tired of shopping, we went to some of the museums. All in all, a great location. The brownstone makes you feel like you're getting the true New York experience. There's a really nice park across the street for the kids. We'd definately come back.

This is a great apartment in a beautiful location with super easy access to the subway into the City. Stayed here with my brother so it was the perfect set up - we each had our own bedroom spaces but then we could hang out together in the common areas, including that fabulous outdoor deck that's been mentioned in other comments. Very spacious & comfortable, bright, clean & well cared for. Jamie made this all so easy to arrange and was very gracious about accommodating our schedule. Highly recommended.
Sherry Ruth
This was a really great place to stay!! The subway was right down the street, and it was a short ride into Manhattan. The house itself was clean, quiet and perfect. Joe and Jamie were wonderful hosts- unobtrusive but there if you need them.
Mary & Andy Pracht Hilton Head Island, SC
This November will be our second visit to your cute Brownstone. It is well equipped and very comfortable for the three of us. I highly recommend it to someone wanting to visit Brooklyn!!
Mary Phoenix, AZ
Great neighborhood and beautiful brownstone. Proximity to the subway can't be beat! Park across the street is lovely for kids. We will be back!
Marybeth7 Gilbert, AZ
Our second stay was just as enjoyable as our first. With great shops, restaurants, the subway, a park, and the Brooklyn Bridge all within walking distance of the apt., the location is perfect. The apt. is roomy and comfortable with everything we need. So much better than a hotel. We'll be back.
Leslie Frye Auburn, WA
We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at Carroll Gardens House. It is well-furnished and fabulously located, just 1/2 a block from the F/G line with easy connections to the A train to/from JFK. Our hosts were congenial and helpful. I highly recommend CGH and would definitely stay there again.
Gale4 Elkhart, Indiana
We stayed at this property for a week in April of 2009. It was clean and spacious and the landlords were very nice and helpful. The location is great--a quiet area of Brooklyn away from the hustle of NYC but still within very easy reach of The Big Apple. The Subway, which every tourist should get acquainted with, is on the corner of the street! I would recommend this place to anyone.
alohajen San Francisco, CA
We can't say enough to describe our stay at CGH. The neighborhood was so quaint that it reminded us of Sesame Street in a way. The park across the street (and I mean a stone's throw) was perfect for our 3 yr old and 1 yr old. The apartment was large enough for our family, very clean, and very comfortable. The restaurants in the neighborhood were high quality yet affordable. And Sal's gelato, italian ices, and sorbetto's were the cherry on top. We loved spending our days in busy Manhattan, then taking the subway "home" to our quiet flat. Thanks so much Jamie and Joe! We hope to return soon.

We had a great 9-day stay over the Christmas/New York break. Fabulous, warm house. Great location, groovy neighbourhood with yummy food shops. Subway station in same block. Would very highly recommend to anyone wanting to feel a bit more a local rather than a tourist. Would stay again without hesitation. thanks Joe.
Al and Mari Goldner Corvallis Oregon
We stayed a week in June 2009 and had a wonderful time. The location of this property was excellent, close to a number of good restaurants and just a minute from the subway. We appreciated the open space of the park across the street as well. The unit itself is well cared for and has a nice feel. We have already talked about coming back soon.

I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip to NYC. Living in your brownstone was a complete joy. We fell in love with Carroll Gardens. Our trip went smoothly except for the two times we took the wrong subway. We found the people of New York City very friendly and helpful, when we looked lost. We were able to do everything we had planned. Seeing the Unisphere from the 1964-65 World's Fair was a dream come true for me. I collect mementos from this fair. Walking through Brooklyn Heights and across the Brooklyn Bridge was amazing.
Thanks for letting us borrow the Brooklyn Walking Tour book. I hope we were not too noisy. Sometimes, it is hard to keep two teenage boys quiet. Our time in NYC flew by too quickly. Hopefully, I will get to visit NYC again and be able to stay at your brownstone. Thanks again for everything. Best of luck in all you do.
Markus Milz Germany
We stayed at the Carroll garden house 10 day's on a trip to NY. The app. is nice in size, clean, well managed and with all the necessary equipment. Subway is 200 meters away. Park in front of the house and great surounding area with many good restaurants and all the shop's you need for a stay. We felt very safe and well placed at this nice place. 10 minutes to Manhatten on sub. Owners live in the house and are very nice and helpfull. All the arrangements without any problem. We are very happy to have found the place and can recommend the flat without any hesitation.
Bob 10 Oakland, CA
Really wonderful--better than the pictures. Great neighborhood. Apartment is clean and fresh, very large rooms, no thrift shop furnishings or odd smells. Landlords are generous and helpful.
Lindsay and Justin Carlsbad, CA
We've always stayed in the city and didn't know what to expect from Brooklyn; now I understand why my sister loves it so much! We're so glad we found the Carroll Gardens house - what a great alternative to staying in a hotel or a B&B; not to mention much more affordable. We (me, my boyfriend and parents who flew in from Ohio) felt right at home. The CG house is located in a quiet neighborhood and is in walking distance of GREAT restaurants and cool shops.
Thanks to Joe and Jamie for being wonderful hosts! We can't wait to come back :)
Stephen and Margaret Lynch Ireland
Spent a great week in Carroll Gardens in April. Such a convenient location for shops, eating out and the subway to Manhatten. A lovely apartment with most obliging and welcoming hosts. We also enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening resting our feet and sipping a glass of wine.
Kelly Los Angeles, CA
My two children and I recently stayed at the Carroll Garden House and it was a wonderful home away from home. We have been to NY numerous times staying in various hotels and the amount of money we saved and above all, the spaciousness that the apartment provided us was unparalleled. The owners have beautifully furnished the apartment and I must say that having the luxury (in NY at least!) of the private deck was a huge plus for me at the end of the night. Joe and Jamie were very accommodating and I would highly recommend the CGH to anyone visiting Brooklyn.
Chuck Carlson Aptos, CA
We stayed at 284 President Street for a week in April 2008 and loved it. It was perfect for us. The apartment had everything we needed. The owners are on site and made us feel very welcome. We particularly enjoyed the deck off the kitchen,where we read and relaxed. The apartment is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood with a park across the street. There are shops and restaurants nearby, and we took advantage of them. The subway is just half a block away, so we were minutes away from other parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan. We've been to NYC many times, but we have never had the comfort and flexibility that we had on President Street. We would go back without hesitation.
