And as far as I can see, vim needs the modeline for character set recognition and mode setting, while Emacs has some automagic which only makes setting the master file necessary...but enough from that.

This caught my eye in the $store when I was getting other stuff. Normally I wouldn't consider L.A color mu, but the colors appealed to me. Violet, violet-leaning taupes, and a coppery brown, all pretty matte looking. The pigment is subtle, not strong enough for some people I suppose , but I like it and I think colors would be good for school or a conservative office. Staying power OK over a primer-I use Smashbox. I would buy this again.

It is only $1 so I didn't expect it to be soo good. It is really light and you have to apply primer and lots of it to get a good coverage. I usually use the natural color just for base. It's ok for $1
I picked this up for .86 cents at Winco while grocery shopping and thought for the price what the heck.
I've only attempted to use this once and I wasn't in the mood to try anything new so taking that into account I tried out a few of the colors and they make me look like I was sick. Albeit I am...("pre-lupus") and of the reasons I'm so into make up. If I look good I'll feel better.
To be fair I'll try this again at a later date when I'm more inspired. The muted colors in the palette are very pretty.
How are others combining the colors in this palette for a winning look?
I use it to tweak other eyeshadows,from other brands. Use it to add color, tone down a dark shade, etc.

I would say the quality of this is lacking, even when compared to the LA Colors "Traditional" palette--there's just not much pigment here. About 6 of the pans contain light dusty rose and lavender shades that are very similar, so you don't get much variety even with 12 pans. The compact also contains two ivory pans, a medium rose shade, a russet color, and the deep lavender lovingly described by a previous reviewer. I say I would buy this again because it's so cheap, but I wouldn't recommend it for others like me who already have plenty of eyeshadow! It would be good for someone just starting out with makeup, or for someone who left their makeup bag at home to pick up on a trip. For those who do already have plenty of mu and buy this anyway, you can use the lightly-pigmented shades to blend out darker colors. It's also handy to throw in your purse so you don't ruin your expensive stuff.

Wow... I never thought I would be writing a glowing review on an eyeshadow palette that I bought for 90 cents at BigLots. All you stereotypers of cheap products, please hear me out- I am also one who questions anything that is either not world-renouned (is that how you spell it?) and ridiculously cheap. Honestly, I did not know what came over me to buy this product. In this palette of 12 EYESHADOWS, you get a wide variety of pinks, mauves, light purples, and even a brown. I love the pigmentation that these have!! Surprisingly, they are also very blendable and do not crease or fade, when used with primer. They are also nicely scented! My only issue is the initial fallout, when you first put them on, but other than that, these are absolutely incredible shadows for their price. And remember- 90 FREAKING CENTS!

The shadows have great pigmentation, but none of the colors really grasp my attention. They kinda remind me of Easter colors a little bit lol.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I think these are pretty great eyeshadows for the price. Decent pigmentation and they last a decent amount of time. The thing I love most about this palette is that there is a dupe of a discontinued LORAC eyeshadow that was called Innocence. The color is in the far left bottom corner of the palette. It is a very beautiful lavenderish color. GORGEOUS!

A ridiculously bad-start to what turned out to be a kick-ass day.
I woke up on time, and then remembered that I din't have a ride in to course, so I texted my sister, who didn't get up until two 'cause the docs gave her sleeping pills. So I was pissed and frustrated and what not about missing the day, and I knew I was gonna get blamed, no matter how I sliced it.
Anyway, part way through the day, T (who I've only talked to a little before, and didn't really seem my type) texted me, and we just clicked, which was awesome cause I thought it would be forever until I clicked with anyone again in that way, and he agreed to a date, and seems as clicked to me as I am to him, yay.
And A is cooking for us tonight, which means vegan fooood, YAY NOMNOMNOM
And finally, I don't think I need to smoke anymore.
I think I've won...
That's great that T agreed to go on a date! Congrats! I hope you guys have a good time. Sucks about the lack of transportation though, I get it, been there. I now have my license and an inherited car, but i can't go wherever I want because of my parents. They won't let me go downtown by myself, where everything I want to do is, so I'm still stuck depending on them for rides there. I have to ask permission to go almost everywhere and I'm somehow still at the mercy of everyone else's schedule, which really sucks.
Congrats on the not needing to smoke! Knew you could do it. =)
Aw, that's cute haha all the best!
I want some deets on this "T" character. Is he cute? Well, he obviously is, you've taken a fancy to him. But come on, I need a description.

Kenneth F. YoungKenneth F. Young
WEATHERSFIELD Kenneth Floyd Young, 91, a lifelong resident of Springfield/Weathersfield, passed away on Saturday, February 23, 2013, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. He was born June 15, 1921, in Springfield, the son of Floyd C. and Miriam (Haskell) Young. He received his schooling in Weathersfield Bow.
On June 25, 1947, he married Alice E. Allen in Windsor, Vt.
Ken owned and operated Maple Lane Farm, where he was born, until his son, Ken, took over in 1980 and renamed it the Milky Way Farm. His love of farming began as a small boy working next to his father. As an adult, he continued farming and logging with horses and enjoyed going to draft horse pulling competitions in what little time he could squeeze into his long days. After he retired from dairying, he continued to work with his son, Ken, caring for the young stock and helping with the summer haying. He then had more time to train and work with many teams of horses over the years. He took great pleasure in giving wagon and sleigh rides, being in parades and going to plowing and sap gathering contests. Everyone admired his special way with those huge, gentle giants.
Later in life, he grew a garden big enough to feed the entire neighborhood. And goodness help any weed that dared sprout they didnt last long!
He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Alice; three daughters, Linda Murgatroy and her husband Bill of Lempster, N.H., Janet Silkonis and her husband John of Gardner, Mass., and Sandra Messer and her husband Bob of Wilmot, N.H.; two sons, Kenneth S. and his wife Janice of Springfield, and Keith and his wife Kellie of Weathersfield; eight grandchildren, Paul Buskey of Midlothian, Va., Ryan Buskey of Charlotte, N.C., Jeffrey Cleveland of Watertown, Mass., Katie Safran of Saugus, Mass., Tia Messer of Denver, Colo., Ryan Messer of New London, N.H., Kenneth R. Young of Springfield, Vt., and Julie Young Shute of Brownsville, Vt.; five great-grandchildren, Reagan and Parker Buskey of Midlothian, Va., Anna and Alexa Buskey of Charlotte, N.C., and Isabella Safran of Saugus, Mass.; also by many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his three brothers, Lt. Cmdr. USN Gerald Young, Allan Young and Clyde Butch Young; and by his three sisters, June Hyde, Dorothy Peoples and Beverly Harris.
Friends may call from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening, February 26, 2013, at the Davis Memorial Chapel in Springfield, Vt.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, at the First Congregational Church UCC on Main Street in Springfield, Vt. Reverend Jean OBresky, pastor, and Reverend David Crosby will co-officiate.
Burial will occur in the Spring at the convenience of the family.

A Good Day Off
This season was the busiest in recent memory. Our church just began building an addition to our facility. Though excited about breaking ground, I sensed the construction was adding bricks to a growing wall between my family and me.
My wife, Cheryl, and I lamented how detached our family had become. The kids filled their days in the isolated world of television. And the growing numbers of people at church were tyrannizing my calendar. A new youth pastor, youth camps, additions to buildings, new member classes, Bible studies, discipleship, visits … aaaahh!
I decided we needed to get away—to rescue our ministry from burnout and to retrieve our marriage from strain. We took our Sunday evening through Monday evening "day off" and journeyed to Willow Creek—the one in Beaverhead National Forest, not the one in Illinois. A day and a half to find our sense of family again. No phones, no computers, no people, and no TV.
S'more family time
The first indication of the Lord's blessing on our trip was our cell phone's "no service" message flashing at us. The drive through a narrow canyon back to Hollow Top Mountain not only separated us from 21st century communications, it took us to South Willow Creek, where the water is so clear you can read the date off a dime five feet deep.
We set up a tent for Cheryl and me, and one for our daughters, Madison and Baylee, and our son, Hayden, whom we affectionately call "Spartacus." With tents pitched, we started a fire that would keep us company into the wee hours of the morning.
After the last s'more was consumed (defined as the one that makes you sick), it was bedtime. We wedged the kids into sleeping bags, prayed with them, left them a flashlight, and assured them that bears slept at night (and that dad sleeps with his 12 gauge, just for kicks). They giggled for 20 minutes and fell asleep. Then Cheryl and I settled into our lawn chairs and warmed ourselves by the fire.
It was an intimate fire, painting itself in shifting subtleties of blues, which is nice for looking at stars. When you are 50 miles from town and several thousand feet high, it becomes more of a challenge to find sky than stars. It looked like God had spilled a pouch of diamonds on the floor of heaven, and we sat bedazzled by the sparkle on the ceiling of Earth. It is easy to feel small sitting beneath the theater of the heavens.
It's also easy to blather on about everything you haven't talked to your wife about for months, or years. And blather we did—for hours. Each new log seemed to give us a new topic and the creek provided background music. Our conversations started small, carved through perspectives, poured into larger topics, got obscured in unrelated issues, and eventually wound back to the starting point. It was effortless, unlike conversations at home, where the words have to be pried from our mouths like bad teeth. Here, they flowed like the melted snow behind us.

The thrill of catching the trout wasn't coaxing them from beneath ...

Chicago Spire developer gets funding, wants to resume project
The Irish developer behind the Chicago Spire said it has found an investor to pay its creditors, allowing it to emerge from bankruptcy and possibly restart work on the long-stalled residential project.
In papers filed with U.S. Bankruptcy Court Thursday, Shelbourne North Water Street LP, the firm headed by Irish developer Garrett Kelleher, is seeking court approval to move forward with an investment of up to $135 million from Atlas Apartment Holdings LLC, a Northbrook-based apartment development and management company.
While Shelbourne said the amount would enable it to pay bona fide bankruptcy claims in full, there is no detail in the court documents about the additional funds that would be needed to construct the twisting, 2,000-foot tower designed by Santiago Calatrava that was to be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. The 1,194-unit condo building captured people's fascination but couldn't get construction financing.
Kelleher was not available for comment, according to his attorney, Thomas Murphy.
"Given the ongoing recovery in the Chicago property market, the timing is better now than when this project commenced," Kelleher said in a statement. "I am delighted to have found a partner who believes in the project as passionately as I do."
Steven Ivankovich, Atlas' CEO, said he was introduced by his bankers at Credit Suisse to Kelleher, and took an interest in the project because of his local roots and Kelleher's vision. On paper, Atlas would be the majority partner in the joint venture, he said.
"I'm a Chicago guy," Ivankovich said. "I want to see Chicago regain its architectural crown. It's the greatest piece of development land I've ever seen."
The Spire site, at 400 N. Lake Shore Drive, has sat dormant since 2008, after the project was caught up in the financial and housing markets' meltdown. The project, whose cost was estimated to be at least $1.5 billion, went into foreclosure in 2010 and a protracted legal battle began in several courts systems. It remains a 76-foot by 110-foot hole in the ground.
Last summer, Related Midwest, whose Chicago properties include luxury rental buildings at 500 N. Lake Shore Drive and the soon-to-open 111 W. Wacker, and condos in the South Loop, bought at a discount $93 million of delinquent debt and penalties tied to the project from National Asset Management Agency in Ireland. In November, an affiliate of Related filed a federal lawsuit against Kelleher seeking more than $95 million in guarantees he made as part of the project.
Also, in October, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against Shelbourne by Related and other creditors. Shelbourne was given the exclusive right until March 10 to propose a reorganization plan to the court.
Under the proposed investment agreement filed with the court Thursday, Shelbourne would try to have a reorganization plan confirmed by the court by Aug. 31. In addition to paying all claims, that plan could involve the transfer of some or all of the property to Atlas, according to the filing.
Atlas would be entitled to a break-up fee of about $4 million plus up to $750,000 in expenses if Shelbourne does not have a reorganization plan confirmed by the court by Aug. 31 and have it take effect before Oct. 31, among other conditions.
Since the housing market's downfall, apartment high-rise construction has taken off in downtown Chicago, but lenders have been more reluctant to finance condominium projects.
Kelleher put $188 million of his own money into the project, and the unpaid loan, the debt now owned by Related, was used to purchase the land, Murphy said.
"From the day we broke ground, we were looking for construction financing and we were still in touch with those lenders," he said.
Before the project faltered, one-third of the units, which started in the $700,000 range and went up to $40 million, were pre-sold, according to Michael Golden, co-founder of @properties, the Spire's exclusive local marketing agent. About half the buyers who signed contracts were from outside the United States.
Beanie Babies creator and billionaire Ty Warner, recently sentenced to probation for tax evasion, became the highest profile buyer in the project, signing a contract in 2008 for a duplex penthouse unit that was listed for $40 million.
"Obviously, there was demand for what we were selling there," Golden said. The luxury market "wants big, well-designed space and they'll pay. There's a definite hole in the marketplace right now for luxury product."
A spokeswoman for Related declined comment.
Atlas' portfolio includes 75,000 apartment units nationwide and additional projects in Great Britain. Most of its domestic investment is in the Southwestern and Southeastern United States.

We've tested a number of high-end digital cameras, priced from $380 to $3500.
On this page, you'll find:
Digital SLR cameras are put through a more extensive test procedure than compact cameras using the lenses that are normally bundled with them. Even though the testing is done with the camera in Auto mode whenever possible, you cannot compare scores between the two tests. Most manufacturers supply relatively cheap lenses in their kits. If you're in the market for a digital SLR and already have some good-quality lenses, you can probably expect better image quality results than achieved in our test.
For more information on Digital cameras, see Cameras and camcorders.
Note: scores in this test cannot be directly compared with the 2013 test. We've changed a significant number of scoring parameters and introduced new procedures for the 2013 tests. However, a camera that performs well in this test should also perform well in the new test.
As well as test results for 103 camera/lens combinations, you'll also get:
DSLRs may be much larger than their compact counterparts but once you've enjoyed their benefits, it's hard to settle for anything less. Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds set a new standard for a camera design that's compact and has interchangeable lenses. All types have had a steady increase in sales, together with a dramatic drop in price in recent times.
There are several makes to choose from, with camera and lens kits for well under $1000. You might also want to read our article on digital SLR zoom lenses. Also see our brand reliability survey to discover how our members rate the reliability of the key brands over time.
We've decided to include other digital cameras marketed to high-end users, even though they may not have an exchangeable lens. The criteria for inclusion are:
• Manual override for focus and exposure controls. • RAW format recording (to allow you more control over the image once it's taken). • Manual white balance control. • Hot shoe for an external flash.
This overall score is a combination of the following scores:
This score is an evaluation of:
This involves five people evaluating each camera's manual, shutter release button, times for data transfer, shutter delay, start up, taking pictures in single shot and continuous modes. They check for ease and smoothness of zooming, manual focusing and speed of operation by going through a cycle of taking and deleting an image a number of times. Ease of inserting and removing a camera's memory card and changing its settings, controls and batteries is also tested. Movie ease of use is appraised in a similar way, with emphasis on recording and playback controls. These cameras are also appraised for their manual and autofocus performance in both normal and Liveview modes in both bright and low light conditions. We also check how difficult it is to change lenses.
The difference between the height and width displayed in the monitor and what is recorded on the final image, an appraisal of the image quality in bright and low light conditions and measure of its overall size and resolution.
Cameras that are able to record video were used to make four "highest quality" movies and then scored on resolution of detail, colour accuracy, fluency of playback, picture noise and pixelation caused by compression. This is done in both bright and low light conditions, and our testers check the cameras' autofocus and macro performance in video mode. The sound quality is appraised by recording in a quiet room with both classical music and voice played back through high-quality speakers. Testers also check for noises caused by zooming or focusing the camera when taking video.
Its overall size as well as the difference between the height and width displayed in the viewfinder and what is recorded on the final image, an appraisal of the image quality in bright and low light conditions, and the quality of its resolution and refresh rate when panning across scenes.
Tested at one, three and five metres to check the exposure is even across the image.

Climate Change and Adaptation
Coastal change and climate change adaptation is an increasing area of concern for coastal managers.
As technical specialists, ABPmer has considerable experience in modelling (numerical and conceptual) and mapping changing coastlines in response to different climate change scenarios.
This, coupled with our knowledge and experience of policy, planning and coastal management, means we are in a prime position to support coastal communities, landowners and local authorities in the sustainable management of their coastal zones.
Key Services:
- Coastal erosion mapping and investigations
- Climate change adaptation studies
- Coastal response prediction
- Long-term predictions of morphological change
Selected Project Experience:
Impacts of Climate Change on the Built Marine Environment - Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership
ABPmer prepared the impacts of climate change on the built environment section of the Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership annual report card (2010-2011). The aim of the report card is to provide a summary of the latest updates on how climate change is affecting the UK's marine environment and included contributions from almost 100 scientists from 40 leading UK science organisations. ABPmer's chapter was prepared in conjunction with Cefas and dealt with impacts on both coastal and offshore structures as a result of changes to the marine environment including waves, extreme weather patterns and rising sea levels.
Climate Change and ABP Ports - Associated British Ports
ABPmer was commissioned to undertake a strategic assessment of the effects of climate change on ABP ports' infrastructure and operations. The report considered the risks and opportunities, and the implications of current and proposed government legislation.
Coastal Erosion and Climate Change Risk - British Energy
ABPmer was commissioned to evaluate the long-term geomorphology of the coast fronting British Energy sites to understand the potential threat posed by coastal erosion and climate change. Our investigations included the assessment of the potential future shoreline evolution over a period of 300years at the site and along the adjacent shoreline and the likely future extreme eaves and water levels.
Greater Thames Coastal Habitat Management Plan - Environment Agency
ABPmer was commissioned by the Environment Agency to provide a unified framework for considering the effect of sea level rise and other drivers of change affecting the conservation status of the Natura 2000 sites and their component habitats within the Thames Estuary, together with those of the Medway-Swale. The final deliverable of the CHaMP was a fully interactive coastline-planning tool which feeds directly into the future strategic level flood and coastal erosion risk management.

A Year-Round Beach House
Colombia-born designer Moises Esquenazis colorful place on Long Island blends a New England aesthetic with the breeziness of the beach.
By Elaine Greene
The two men who created this Long Island home share an aesthetic that embraces color, comfort and wit: Moises Esquenazi, Bogotá-born and U.S.-trained, is an architectural, interior and furniture designer and a photographer. His partner, Bryan Graybill, is a real estate developer currently studying town planning and sustainability. Basically Moises was the designer and I was the client, Graybill says of this, the first house they built for themselves. We rarely disagreed, although I had to be convinced that the pool should be so far behind the house. Moises didnt want to look at an ugly pool cover for most of the year. Of course he was right.
The uniquely bright and graphic street facade is a playful surprise, especially for passersby here at the east end of Long Island, where a recent outbreak of look-alike McMansions has been epidemic. Several times a day Esquenazi and Graybill are amused by the sight of a car driving by, then, seconds later, backing up slowly so its occupants can take a longer look.

This post presents several experiments (piked between a total of more than 20 generated artifacts) that map 1534 vehicles, during October 2009 in Lisbon, leaving route trails and condensed in one single day. The artifacts are animations of traffic's evolution in Lisbon during a fictitious 24-hour period (from 0:00 to 23:59). Below are the three most relevant results and metaphors.
Traffic clots
Perhaps the strongest visual metaphor — an organism with circulatory problems. When the traffic is slow, the red clots start appearing. Watch video on Vimeo.
Aesthetic deviation
The following artifact is in its essence an aesthetic deviation that brings a visual emphasis on the main traffic routes. Pencil and paper. Darker arteries traduce intense traffic. Watch video on Vimeo.
Searching for emphasis in sluggish areas
In the next artifact the color of the arteries change with the speed of the vehicles. Rapid transit arteries are drawn with greenish and cooler colors, while the sluggish ones are reddish and hotter. Traffic intensity is mapped in the thickness and brightness of the arteries. When a certain path has a very low velocity, its covered area gets filled — the intention was to bring an emphasis to the areas with major traffic issues (low speed). The white dots represent the vehicles themselves. Eye candy, eye candy. Watch video on Vimeo.
These visualization were developed in the context of CityMotion and my master thesis at DEI/FBA.

Apigee dashboard
What is the Apigee dashboard?
The Apigee Edge dashboard is the first thing you see when you log in to Edge. It gives you end-to-end visibility to monitor, measure, and manage the success of your API program.
This dashboard has two views:
- API Program View - Monitors how your APIs are growing, the engagement of your developers, and the rates of developer adoption.
- Top Performance View - Monitors API traffic growth patterns, including error rates across specific periods of time. Gives you a summary of to
To go to this dashboard at any time, select Dashboard from the main Apigee Edge menu.
Watch a video demonstration
Check out this short video to learn about how to use and interact with the Apigee Edge Dashboard.
API Program View
What does the API Program view tell me?
This dashboard view helps you manage the business side of your APIs. These metrics show a high-level view of all the APIs in your organization. They give you insight into which APIs are most popular with customers and how much traffic is flowing through all your APIs. Switch from the Summary to the Detail view to see patterns and growth of individual APIs, including APIs with most/least traffic and with the most/least errors.
What does the API Program view measure?
Metric | Description |
API traffic |
All the API traffic for an organization over the selected period of time. Traffic, also called "throughput", represents the number of API requests and responses seen by an API organization. |
Developer Engagement |
Measures the average number of API calls for registered developers during the selected period of time. The ratio among traffic levels for high, medium, low, and inactive developers using your APIs for the selected time period. Also shown are the total number of developers who have signed up to use your APIs, and the percentage change of developer signups between this week and last week. Note: It's possible that the Developer Engagement could reflect higher numbers for a Week timespan than for a Month. This is because engagement is calculated based on the average number of calls during a specific period of time (week/month). You could have a large number of developers register their apps, but for a period of time the apps are not generating traffic (perhaps because their apps are still in development). If traffic starts later, in the most recent week, then calculated engagement will be higher for the most recent week than over the previous month, because most of the traffic was generated in the most recent week. |
Developer Apps | Traffic for your top-performing developer apps for the selected time period is displayed in this chart. |
Notice that the details chart also identifies and lists statistics for the APIs that have the most and least traffic and most and least errors over the selected period.
Top Performance View
What does the Top Performance view tell me?
This view shows growth and error patterns for your API traffic. For example, you can see at a glance where traffic or error rates were spikey and investigate further using other available analytics tools. You can view a summary of total traffic, including change from prior periods. Mouse over the graphs for additional details.
What does the Top Performance view measure?
Top APIs |
The APIs with the highest traffic over the selected time period. |
Top Developer Apps |
The developer apps with the highest traffic over the selected time period. |
Top Products |
The API products with the highest traffic over the selected time period. (API products are groups or collections of APIs that are logically grouped into sets for the purposes of provisioning access, logging or metrics generation with the ability to view and maintain control at the group level.) |
Top Developers |
Developers with the highest traffic over the selected time period. |

22 June 2011
A major social science conference exploring the landscape of a 'Changing Wales' within social, economic and political contexts is taking place in Swansea next week.
The Wales Institute of Social & Economic Research, Data & Methods' (WISERD) second annual summer conference, will reflect on the institute's interdisciplinary working methods and feature an array of speakers from academia, central and local government, and third sector agencies.
A key topic under discussion at the conference will be an analysis of the economic contribution of major events in Wales, where Rob Holt (Chief Executive of Ryder Cup Wales 2010) will reflect on the value of the Ryder Cup. The session will also look at the wider public policy implications of major events and to developing methodologies to measure the impact of similar events in the future.
Another session will address the concept of 'behaviour change' within a Welsh context. Clive Bates, Director General of Sustainable Futures at the Welsh Assembly Government, will be joined by Cardiff University's Professor Ken Peattie to review the work being undertaken around behaviour change in Wales and its potential to offer improved policy outcomes.
Academics based at Cardiff will also lead a discussion on the relationship between ageing and place in Wales; in terms of poverty in rural places, social inclusion, material hardships and cultural denials.
Dr Catrin Redknapp of the Welsh Language Board will chair a talk on bilingualism and linguistic behaviour in Wales, exploring how bilingual consumers process marketing messages and the sociolinguistic issues of working in a bilingual environment.
Other themes to be covered over the two-day conference include; Inequality in Wales, Poverty and Homelessness, Education and Health in Wales, Migration, Tourism, Citizenship, Criminology and Devolution, Participation and Civil Society, and Skills and Employment.
Professor Charlotte Williams, Professor of Social Justice at Keele University will open the conference with a keynote address on the theme of race and equality in social research in Wales. The conference will close with a special lecture from WISERD Director, Professor Gareth Rees, on higher education, social mobility and locality in Wales.
Professor Rees commented: "The WISERD Conference is becoming established as the major 'shop window' for social science research in Wales, providing an opportunity for researchers to engage across Wales and with policy-makers and the public more widely."
WISERD is a collaborative venture between the Universities of Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff, Glamorgan and Swansea.
Funded by the Higher Education Funding Council of Wales (HEFCW) and the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), WISERD has established itself as a leading centre for social science research excellence since its creation in 2008.

Reread several threads, sought advice and reworked 1st floor plan - please give additional guidance if you can. I need to sign off to the electrician early next week |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could eliminate the 2 center lights in the living room - 6 instead of 8. |
davidtay - THANKYOU for looking at this! I was hoping you would :). I keep re-reading your tips and comments ... both trying to educate myself and push back the insecurity as I wind my way through this! BTW - ceiling height is 9'. I especially wondered whether the 14 lights in the kitchen are well placed or too much or? The four cans on the sink wall are about 12" o.c (or should it be the rim) from the wall because there are no cabinets (obscured in visual because they are placed over the counter); and two of these are equidistant from the 30" sink base center (about 36" o.c. apart). Along the range wall there are under cabinet and hood lights - so went with the nine island/aisle lights instead of placing cans at 24-26:" along this wall. At your suggestions, I am removing the two cans from the center of the family room. The remaining cans are 3 FT from each wall and spaced about 4 1/2 FT apart - is that sufficient for this area? Is 3 FT from wall fine where there will be couch against the wall? OR is the "four corner" layout more balanced for the family area? There will likely be lamp lighting by the couch and one or two of the opposing corners. Wow ... I feel so much better already knowing other eyes (and expert ones at that) have viewed this. Lighting seems to get less study and scrutiny than kitchen cabinets but is an amazingly important element and investment than can make a difference daily for a lifetime spent in a house. I think I've learned a heck of a lot in a short period from the posts on this forum. Thanks so much for viewing and commenting. |
There's room to eliminate a can or two in the kitchen (probably 2). I'd give the electrician some room for determining the final placement as he will have to deal with the ceiling joists and other obstructions above the ceiling board. The 4 cans @ the sink wall can be kept on a separate circuit which would provide greater flexibility in lighting the space. There will probably be at least 3 separate circuits (switches) for the kitchen lighting - 1 for the sink wall, another for general and a third for UCL. The family area would be fine with 6 cans. 9' is a nice height to have. |
Thank you :) |

Nuggets partner with United Way Colorado for TeamSmile
A trip to the dentist doesn't typically generate this many smiles.
That's what happens when players, coaches, mascots and cheerleaders from Denver's six professional sports teams work with United Way Colorado to provide dental care to underserved children.
About 240 children received dental care worth an estimated $110,000 during the TeamSmile event at Pepsi Center on Saturday.
It marked the first time the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies, Colorado Rapids and Colorado Mammoth teamed up for a community project.

In midst of road schedule, Nuggets embrace Moe System
Time for a Doug Moe refresher course.
Because the NBA schedule doesn't always unfold with a nice blend of home and road games, the former Nuggets coach believed that a plus-minus system provided a more accurate reading of where his team stood in the standings.
Under the Moe System, teams receive plus-1 for a road win and minus-1 for a home loss. Through nine games, the Nuggets have a 4-5 record but sit at plus-1 (two road wins, one home loss) under the Moe System.

When a professional sports team struggles, virtually every part of the organization is put under a microscope. That's certainly the case with the under-performing Ottawa Senators right now.
The Senators have lost nine of their last 12 games and have only scored 17 goals in that stretch. There are a lot of people fans and media can point blame at. While I'm not convinced this isn't all Spartacat's fault, one of the more popular people to blame in the Nation's Capital is Senators coach Cory Clouston.
There are a number of reports that suggest the players have "quit" on Clouston. First of all, that term is so cliché and secondly, I don't buy it.
When you look at the Senators roster, it looks thin. Thinner than a Michael Bay plot. Obviously that's not Clouston's fault. He's doing all he can with what's been given to him. Bryan Murray, General Manager of the Senators, is the one giving Clouston the pieces and those pieces don't fit together. They're all corner pieces. Clouston is the coach that Murray brought in. He's the coach with an aggressive style and tight checking systems. Yet several of Murray's roster moves, or corner pieces, don't exactly fit with Clouston's style. Why bring in players that don't fit into the coach's system? The players aren't quitting on the coach, they just aren't the right guys for the jobs.
Look at the Senators top forwards and ask yourself if they are capable of scoring two or more goals in most hockey games. Then ask yourself if they can outscore opposition on most nights. Saying that group will be effective if 100% healthy (a common explanation for the Senators struggles this year) is like putting lipstick on a pig. Ottawa may have the best bottom six forwards in the league, considering they have around 10-12 players for those roles. Unfortunately, that's about the extent of their depth.
I like Clouston and what he has accomplished with the Senators during his tenure in the NHL. Posting a career 74 – 57 – 12 record is pretty good when you consider the time he was brought into the organization and the roster he's been given. Clearly, he has a winning track record. Let's not forget Clouston isn't coaching the talented Senators squads Murray, Craig Hartsburg, John Paddock and even Jacques Martin had years ago. He's got the faded, no-name version of that.
Clouston has been the only coach to bring any kind of stability to the Senators over the last few years. Prior to his arrival, you could argue the Senators chewed through coaches faster than goalies. Clouston's stabilizing force has gotten things back to normal… the Senators just (still) chew through goalies now. (I couldn't resist).
If Murray and the Senators fired Clouston tomorrow, would they be any better? Would there be a huge turn around? Probably not… even if Murray himself returned to the bench.
There is no overnight fix for this club in its current state. Although I believe Murray is more to blame than Clouston (read: way more to blame!), a GM change won't fix the Senators either. The reality is the Senators need a fairly significant overhaul and sooner than later. I think most fans are coming to terms with that, but I doubt the Sens management would agree. Even if the Senators got their act together and found a way into the playoffs this season, would it really be for the better? Can they really make a run and be a contending team year after year with this group of players? Can they compete against the Capitals, Penguins, Flyers and Bruins in the Eastern Conference?
At the end of the day, you can't fault Clouston for where the Senators are in the standings. If Clouston, a winning coach and the best coach the Senators have had in years, can't win with this roster, I'm not sure any other coach would fair much better. The Senators aren't what they used to be and Bryan Murray's roster changes haven't helped. The necessary changes are and should be far greater than a coaching change.
At the moment, coaching is one of the few area's the Senators don't need to fix.

The New York Rangers are apparently in dire need of a savior to rescue them from the pains of an 18-year Stanley Cup drought. The fans, and probably Glen Sather too, thought they had wrangled that savior with last weekend's Brad Richards signing. Oh boy, are they going to be sad when they hear that Richards has no intention of playing savior for the Blueshirts.
Richards took part in a Q+A with the New York Post's Steve Serby, fielding questions on the pressure that comes along with playing in New York, being friends with Sean Avery, superstitions, and whether or not he wanted to be viewed as the franchise's savior.
Q: …you don't want to be perceived as a quote unquote savior.
A: No, I don't. Be great if we won a Cup, then you can call me whatever you want.
That's probably the best answer Richards could have provided, although, "all I have to do is out perform Scott Gomez and Chris Drury" would have played just as well.

Five Star Burgers earns its five stars with Hatch green chile -- and deep-fried banana bread!
There is almost nothing better in the world than really good green chile spread on top of a juicy beef patty or slathered over a pile of hand-cut fries. Five Star Burgers is a transplant from Taos, and even with this city's staggering number of burger joints, Five Star manages to shine because of its warm, roasty green chile. And that's not all that's warm at this small chain: The service is enjoyable and attentive, and you can end your meal with something weird, unexpected and wonderful: a dessert made with deep-fried banana bread.J. Wohletz The green chile cheeseburger at Five Star Burgers.

Five Star Burgers is owned by the Taos Restaurant Group, which also owns Old Blinking Light in Taos and Highlands Ranch, and has six Five Star locations scattered between New Mexico, Missouri (that state's spot has a special "Iron Skillet" burger smothered in bacon gravy and topped with a fried egg) and Denver, where it has locations at 2330 East Arapahoe Road in Littleton and 555 Broadway -- the spot where Kokoro used to be. J. Wohletz A Bananas Foster shake? Yes!
I'd heard that Five Star uses fresh, all-natural, hormone- and antibiotic-free Angus beef in the burger patties, and cooks them on a steam-powered grill. So one recent day I wandered south from the Westword office to the Five Star on Broadway. There's a nice-sized, sunny, twelve-table patio out front with a cozy fire pit in the middle; the inside dining area has bright orange and purple walls with a single bleached cow skull hanging on one, as well as an artfully pitted, finished concrete floor the color of seasoned leather. I spent several years in Albuquerque and got used to the standard issue, terrible décor in too many New Mexico restaurants -- a lot of beige, sands and turquoise color palettes with Georgia O'Keefe prints and fake Navaho pottery -- and in comparison, this was tame and non-ridiculous.
As I was led to a table near the bar I considered asking for a booth near the windows instead, but I was glad I refrained -- the bartender/lifter of heavy beer kegs turned out to be an excellent server, too. I love being helped by staffers who seem genuinely happy to be there, know the menu by heart and really, truly smile at you -- none of that fakey, robotic customer-service stuff. She had pink hair and awesome plug earrings (it's downright beautiful to find a chain restaurant that doesn't get bent out of shape over a little ink or a few piercings), and she didn't do the typical barely-discernible-but-there nose-wrinkle when I ordered a bananas Foster shake. (Anyone who has ever bartended knows that most bartenders despise making shakes.) J. Wohletz The Bleu cheese bacon fries.
Shakes are shakes, but on occasion I get one that is something special, and this was: incredibly thick, with a fantastic banana-caramelly flavor. The whipped cream on top was actual whipped cream, and there was a single, deep burgundy Bordeaux cherry plopped on that. A restaurant gets mad points for shedding the yucky maraschino cherries in favor of their plumper, better-flavored, more decorative cousins.
My server told me the menu had been revamped only the week before, and it wasn't particularly huge or diverse: burgers, fries, a few sides, beer and wine, and three desserts. I ordered the fried jalapeno bottle caps ($3), fried pickle spears ($3), the yellowfin tuna burger with chile cheese fries ($14), the signature green chile cheeseburger with bleu cheese bacon fries ($10.95) and a lamb burger with Parmesan truffle fries ($12). The massive fries upgrades are a steal, because the loaded fries are $5 on their own -- but if you order burgers that come with fries, it's only an extra buck to load them up.J. Wohletz The green chile sauce is vegetarian -- and delicious.
Five Star purchases its beef from California-based Harris Ranch, and its fat, eggy brioche buns and Hatch chiles from New Mexico. At the perfect stage of ripeness, properly cleaned and roasted, Hatch chiles are the best ones in the big, wide expanse of the universe. They are fruity, grassy, start out warm and then the heat creeps up until you are a little sweaty and can't wait for the next bite. Five Star's fried jalapeno slices and fried pickles were a good warm-up for the chile, with the peppers spicier than I anticipated (awesome) and the pickles far better breaded than expected. Both came with cool, creamy, green chile-infused dipping sauces, and eating jalapeno peppers dipped in green chile/chipotle sauce is an experience only a pepper-obsessed New Mexico-born joint can offer -- an almost sensual immersion.
I didn't want to use ketchup and mustard on the first burger because the green chile was so good I just wanted to taste that. And I wasn't disappointed: the green chile cheeseburger was an exercise in Southwestern excess and ecstasy, with a fat, medium-rare burger that dripped pinky beef juice, smothered with diced green chiles, covered with a slab of melted pepperjack cheese and the bottom bun spread with green chile mayo. Every bite was better than the one before, and I was almost sorry to switch my attention to the other two burgers...at least until I bit into each of them.

[811] Clinicopathologic Characteristics of Renal Cell Carcinoma in Patients 45 Years of Age and Younger
Ryan Carr, Alison Van Dyke, Guoping Cai, Kenneth Haines, Adebowale J Adeniran. Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT
Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs mainly in older people and is infrequently diagnosed in children and young adults. Limited studies have been conducted on RCC in the younger age group, hence the clinical and morphologic spectrum remain incompletely defined, and the behavior is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinicopathologic characteristics of RCC in patients 45 years old and younger.
Design: Based on the retrospective review of our files, cases diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma in patients 45 years old and younger in our institution between 1985 and 2011 were identified. Slides in our files were reviewed on all cases. Gross findings were obtained from pathology reports. Follow-up data was obtained from the clinical database.
Results: We identified a total of 102 cases of RCC in patients aged 45 years and younger (63 males and 39 females). Age range: 3-45 years, median age: 40 years. Median tumor size: 3.7cm (range, 0.5-27cm). Laterality of tumor was evenly split between right and left but tumor most commonly located in the lower pole. Histological types: 58 clear cell, 24 papillary, 11 chromophobe, 5 translocation-associated, 2 multilocular cystic, 1 medullary and 1 mixed. Sixty-six patients underwent radical resections, 33 had partial resections while three had percutaneous needle biopsies. Tumor was unifocal in 94 cases while 8 had multifocal tumors. Approximately 50% of the tumors had Fuhrman nuclear grade 2. Pathologic stage at diagnosis: 53 pT1a, 17 pT1b, 14 pT2a, 5 pT2b, 9 pT3a and 1 pT3b. At the time of diagnosis, lymph node involvement, renal sinus fat invasion, main renal vein invasion, perinephric fat invasion and microvascular angiolymphatic invasion were identified in 5, 5, 5, 9 and 11 cases, respectively. Microscopic coagulative necrosis was identified in 33 cases, while sarcomatoid differentiation was present in 7 cases. Distant metastasis was present in 8 cases. Clinical outcome data: 4 alive with disease, 57 alive no disease, 25 alive NOS, 7 dead of disease (10 months average survival; 7 months median survival; 5 male; 3 female).
Conclusions: Although uncommon in children and young adults, RCC is predominantly clear cell type, occurs more commonly in males and mostly has an indolent course. Clear cell and translocation-associated subtypes account for the clinically aggressive cases.

History of Bartow County, Georgia The earliest evidence of human occupation of the Bartow County Georgia area is the Paleoindian Period (10,000 B.C.) The area's geological attributes, natural resources and favorable climate combined to provide bounty sufficient for large numbers of indigenous peoples. The resulting archeological richness of the Etowah River Valley Region, a 40,000-acre tract spanning the southern third of the county, justified the entire tract being placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The first historic documentation came with the 1540 DeSoto Expedition's accounts of the culture at the Etowah Indian Mounds, today a state historic site and public attraction. After the dissemination of the Mississippian Mound Builder Culture, the Creek Indian Tribe inhabited the region until driven south by the Cherokees in the late 18th century. The progressive Cherokee adopted the lifestyles of the European clergy and frontiersmen already forging into the area. Regardless, the discovery of gold in north Georgia in 1828 numbered the Cherokee's days here in their "Enchanted Land." The State of Georgia usurped Cherokee lands and created the county today known as Bartow and nine others in 1832. The Treaty of New Echota of 1835 set the stage for the forced removal of the Cherokee from north Georgia in 1838 with the infamous "Trail of Tears." Throughout the 1840's and 1850's, the fertile land and rich mineral resources of the Etowah River Valley drew industrious, visionary men and their families. By the late 1840's the Western and Atlantic Railroad spanned the county, connecting her with Atlanta and Chattanooga. While iron production began here as early as 1837, it became a major influence after 1845 with the organization of Mark A. Cooper's Etowah Manufacturing and Mining Company. "Gentlemen farmers" prospered from crops of tobacco, corn, wheat, as well as cotton. Colleges and academies flourished alongside commerce. Then came the Georgia Secession Convention of 1861. The county's three delegates voted against secession. (Ironically, one of the delegates, Gen. William B. Wofford, surrendered the last contingent of Confederate troops east of the Mississippi on April 12, 1865 in Kingston,
trainloads to escape coastal "miasma" and enjoy therapeutic warm springs, is experiencing a vibrant resurgence. From the late 19th century to the present, Bartow County produced such notable personalities as Gangster Pretty Boy Floyd, humorist Bill Arp, author Corra Harris, baseball great Rudy York, Methodist evangelist Sam Jones, Baptist missionary Lottie Moon, Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris, and Robert Benham, Georgia's first Black Supreme Court Chief Justice. In 2011 the 10 largest manufacturing employers include: Shaw Industries Toyo Tires Anheuser-Busch Inbev Georgia Power/ Plant Bowen Gerdau-Ameristeel T.I. Group Automotive Aquafil USA Inc.

A close game throughout turned into a 61-55 victory for the Bauxite Lady Miners over the Magnet Cove Lady Panthers in non-conference action Monday night at Fred Dawson Gym in Bauxite. "We knew it was going to be a tough game," Bauxite Coach Josh Harrison said. "Magnet Cove is a very skilled and hard-working team. They've got a lot of talent, they shoot the ball well and they're very aggressive." Lady Miners junior Mary Crow scored 14 points in the first half on her way to a 24-point, six-rebound, six-assist night. She added two steals.
Up one point with a minute remaining, the Bryant Hornets fell 45-42 to the Camden Fairview Cardinals at the Russellville Tournament on Thursday.
"When we were up one with a minute to go, I felt pretty good with the decisions they were making, but it just didn't work," Bryant Coach Mike Abrahamson said. "Our guards ended up making bad decisions."
The Hornets (1-2) made crucial turnovers in the final minute to lose by three.
The Bryant Hornets swimming and diving team competed Tuesday evening, Dec. 6, in the Catholic High School 50/100 Sprint Swim Meet at the University of Arkansas Little Rock in the dive portion. For the boys, Justin Combs took third place, Lucas Reitenger placed fifth place and Scott Mead finished in sixth place overall.
For the Bryant girls, Alise Heavrin came in fourth place, Tiffany Robinson took sixth, Kaitlin Howey seventh and Morganne Gillespie finished in eighth place.

reviews & comments (26)
I thought this recipe was delicious! Since many reviewers complained about the sugar being too much I reduced the zest to 1 tsp and then strained out the zest when I was through. It was perfect. I also like a sweeter biscuit so I added 1/3 cup sugar. I think this would also work well with strawberries. Will certainly make it again.
The biscuits were delicious-light and flaky, although mine didn't rise very much. Because of other reviews, I didn't bother with the orange topping, but I did sprinkle them with a little sugar. My peaches could have used more flavor. Next time, I might add more sugar and/or peach brandy and nutmeg or ginger.
It was good but skip the orange/sugar topping, it's far too overpowering. I liked that it was not too sweet. The corn and the peaches compliment each other well.
Easy and delicious if you have tasty peaches available. Toasted leftover biscuits for breakfast the next morning. Topping on the biscuit was the best part.

The third time wasn't the charm Walker Valley had hoped for.
For the third straight year the Lady Mustangs faced off against perennial powerhouse Soddy-Daisy in the District 6-AAA championship game, but like the last two when all was said and done, the Lady Trojans claimed the title.
After Walker Valley bounced back from a second-round loss with four straight victories to force a second title game Wednesday evening at Brenda McKenzie Lawson Field, Soddy-Daisy came out strong and held off a late charge by the Lady Mustangs for a 7-5 decision.
"Soddy is an excellent team. They came focused and ready to fight tonight, and we didn't," proclaimed Walker Valley head coach Lauren Limburg. "While we're disappointed with the loss, I'm proud that we didn't give up. We fought to the very last out."
One thing that will be different this time around for Walker Valley is it won't be traveling to Coffee County, where its season has ended the last two years, to open the Region 3-AAA Tournament Monday, as the Lady Red Raiders have moved to a different region.
Instead, Coach Limburg's herd will hit the trail to either Cookeville or Rhea County for Monday's region opener.
Cookeville (26-9) went undefeated in District 6-AAA play this season and nipped the Lady Eagles 6-5 in the winner's bracket final last night. Rhea County then blanked Warren County 10-0 to earn the right to face the Lady Cavaliers again for the title this evening.
The Lady Mustangs shut out Cookeville 2-0 at the Crossville Tournament earlier this year, plus swept Rhea County in a pair of close regular season games, by 6-5 and 7-5 tallies.
"We need to take care of business Monday and then we'll probably get another shot at Soddy Wednesday," Coach Limburg remarked. The Lady Trojans have played in 10 of the last 12 TSSAA tournaments with five state titles (2012, '10, '07, '06, '03) and three runner-up trophies ('11, '05, '04) to show for it, plus came up just one win shy of making the state event the other two years.
Facing off for the fifth time this season, Walker Valley (34-14) and Soddy-Daisy (32-8) had split their previous four meetings before Wednesday, with the Lady Mustangs forcing a second championship game with a 5-3 victory the night before.
The Lady Mustangs got on the scoreboard first with a solo run in the game's first at bat.
All-stater Hallie Davis started a two-out rally with the first of three straight singles. Junior AJ Chancey followed with a knock just inside the left field foul line before classmate Alicia Raymond drove Davis home.
The Lady Trojans answered with a pair of scores in the bottom of the first when Cameren Swafford reached base on the first of four WV errors on the night, and all-district performer Haley Reynolds then blasted a home run to put Soddy in front to stay.
Adding solo runs in the second, fourth and sixth frames, plus a pair of scores in the third, the Lady Trojans held a 7-2 advantage heading into the final frame.
Walker Valley picked up a run in the top of the fifth inning when Davis laced a one-out triple and then scored on a sacrifice fly by Chancey.
Down by five runs heading into their last at bat, the "Feisty Fillies" finally showed up when Tennessee Wesleyan signees Baylee Boen and Rachel Percy led off with back-to-back singles. Davis then stepped into the box and blasted her 16th home run of the season, five of which came in the tournament, over the center-field fence.
Walker Valley touched up Soddy starter Shonna Penney (16-3) for 13 hits in the contest, but the freshman pitching sensation bounced back from Davis' big blow to get the next three batters, including recording her sixth strikeout, to close out the contest.
Lady Mustang ace Raymond, slipped to 25-11 on the season with her seventh straight complete-game effort of the tournament. Although she gave up 11 hits, only four of the Lady Trojan runs were earned.
Missing just a double to have hit for the cycle, Davis went 3-for-4 in the contest, with a trio of RBIs and three runs scored. Junior Mackenzie Elrod went 3-for-3, while Boen and Raymond both were 2-for-4. Boen scored a run, while Raymond drove one in.
"We made some errors, which led to runs, and that's not like us," proclaimed Coach Limburg. "We also left too many (seven) runners on base, especially early in the game. We had chances to score more runs, but we couldn't come up with the hits when we needed too."
The Lady Mustangs feel they still have plenty of more softball to play, and plan to put the loss behind them and get ready for the next round.
