Remembering Those Lost to Domestic Violence in 2012
The Utah Domestic Violence Council invites you to remember those who lost their lives as a result of domestic violence in the last 12 months in our state.
Please join us on 2nd January 2013 at the State Capitol Building in the Rotunda area at 12 pm. We welcome members from all communities and faith groups to reflect on an issue which cuts across all cultural and spiritual divides and which we must come together to address.
Urgent Action Needed on VAWA Tribal Provisions
American Indian and Alaska Native women are abused, raped and stalked at far greater rates that any other population of women in United States – 6 out of 10 will be physically assaulted in their lifetime, and 1 in 3 Native women will be raped. Eighty-eight percent of the abuse against Native women is committed by non-Native men—but we, as citizens of the United States, permit this abuse to go unchecked because we do not allow police officers, prosecutors and judges on tribal lands to perform their legal obligations regarding these non-Native men. In other words we, citizens of the United States, have sanctioned "open season against Native American women by non-Native men". This is simply unconscionable. Each of us has an opportunity, now, to right this wrong.
We urgently ask you to PLEASE:
Stop whatever important thing you are doing right now
Use this number 888.269.5702 to connect to the Capitol switchboard (using this number allows NNEDV to track the number of calls being made). Then ask to be connected to your U.S. Representative or Senator.
Ask your Members of Congress to tell you that they will do one of the following acceptable things:
- Support § 904 in S. 1925
- Sign on as a co-sponsor or pledge their support for the Issa-Cole § 904 compromise language (HR 6625)
Forward this message to all of your programs and distribution lists and ask everyone you know to do the same

A critter that invades our yard at night tore off ALL the stems of a new Daylily 'Bali Watercolor' I just planted last month, including the first new buds!! I feel sick; nothing remains above the soil but my husband (who discovered the carnage) said the bulb is still there.
If I keep it watered, will it grow new leaves? |

It should grow back. I lost what I thought was an entire plant of a seedling I had planned to register this year. I see it has come back with one fan. I'm so sorry to hear of your calamity. Bali Watercolor is so beautiful! Nancy |

But don't over water...you could rot it and then it will be gone. Daylilies are beautiful, and they are as tough as they are beautiful. I'm so sorry. kay |
Thank you. And of course I meant foliage, not foliate. I'll keep an eye out for new growth and won't over water it. |
I would also put some kind of little fence around it. In my case it's squirrels, I think, they go after newly planted daylilies, so I now put chicken wire around some. |

What did you do to ensure she is a viable AP carry ? Considering her lack of CC, and relative short range, she would have to keep her AP ratios, which are actually quite good.

I like Karma's new passive. You won't have to rely on baiting to be effective. You can spend less gold on cdr, and more on ap. Before, it was bad to stack too much health on Karma because the more health she had, the longer it took for her passive to kick in. I think her lack of an aoe heal makes up for the fact that she can build tankier now. And that aoe shield is badass. Most people think that the old spirit bond is dumb. They don't understand how effective it can be. With enough cdr, you could basically always have the enemy team slowed. With her new abilities, she can apply slows more often. She can do damage and slow an area without hoping her enemies walk through that tether. Overall, I like the changes. No, it won't be the same Karma. But most people didn't like her to begin with. It will be weird to get used to at first. Her kit looks really exciting, and it resembles her old kit, so it shouldn't be too hard to get used to. I will always remember the good times I had with old Karma, but the new aoe shield makes up for it.

Sorry but I really dislike the new passive and the new mantra. I LOVED using the two mantra charges and enjoyed her aoe heal on her q. For AP mid karma, she will easily be outlaned since she cannot push, easily susceptible to champions with a dash and has very little burst without mantra. Her Q sounds like a poke ability, w is a DOT cc and her e does no damage without mantra. For Karma to be as bursty as she is now, she would need REALLY good scalings. Also, the HUGE, AOE damaging shield and AOE heal is what makes Karma unique and is why I play her.

william mitchell hybrid
did they fill all there spots for the hybrid program for jan' 15
Did you email them directly to ask?
I had applied in April, and was told that the initial plan was to have the first wave of acceptances to be issued in June. Then in early May, I received an update stating that they would make their first set of decisions earlier than originally planned (in about two weeks from that message).
On the 16th of May I received my acceptance, and scholarship. If I recall correctly, there is an article that stated that the ABA has approved them to have a hybrid class of up to 96 students, although I do not know how large they are actually aiming for the class to be.
From the sounds of it, in quick conversations with people at the admissions office, it seems that first round of decisions is not going to be the last, and that they are actively accepting applications.

God Is Not Enough!
I believe in it as a legal institution, as well as a social one and an emotional one, where two people agree to spend their lives balancing the "me" and the "we," where they promise to be together until death as each other's friends and companions and lovers. All of those things are Biblical and good. I just don't think its enough.
With the couples I knew in college (and I suspect this is true of many others who get together young and spiritual), they were euphoric about how God was working in their lives and this new wonderful person he'd given them to share His work with. Many of them were also making the stressful but exciting transition to college and being away from home for the first time. As Gilbert points out, research suggests this also made them more vulnerable. They were naive, didn't have their identities firmly established (much less their careers or finances), and were just so idealistic. To me, that combination of newness, infatuation, and spiritual fervor involves WAY too much emotionality. Far too often, people get hung up on such feelings and what they must mean about the relationship. Its dangerous to make permanent decisions under those conditions but people do it all the time. Those feelings won't continue at that level for more than a couple years.
Don't get me wrong. I believe a couple should share spiritual beliefs and values. When people of differing faiths, or where one person has a faith tradition and the other doesn't, ask me how concerned they should be about this, I say this difference is very important. I let them know they'll always be using different spiritual vocabularies and frames of reference and that deciding how to raise any children they have will make those differences even more of an issue. I point out that family members and friends may think their relationship is wrong due to strong beliefs about how spouses should be of the same faith and concerns about how being with someone who is of a different belief system may impact the spiritual well being of their loved one. Many religions warn against this practice. I believe a common faith is extremely important. Still, I don't think a shared commitment to God is enough, in and of itself. Other factors need to be considered when deciding on something as serious as marriage.
Another concerning thing about these couples is that they were flying on the high brought about by the chemical changes in the brain related to early stage love aka infatuation. Most of these couples were only in their late teens and didn't have much dating experience. For that reason, I don't have a problem with setting some reasonable limits on physical intimacy. At a Christian university, such limits are to be expected. If a person's beliefs are that lust and too much physical involvement are wrong, they are going to struggle with guilt and suffer spiritually, and that sort of internal battle can cause a lot of difficulty for the person and the relationship. If they are very attracted to each other, so much of their relationship still becomes about sex and whether any behaviors they engage in are "wrong" or "sinful." I think this lead more than a few of these couples to want to hurry and get married.

In response to the ongoing killing of geese at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and other parks in the name of aviation safety, animal rights activists are holding a protest today, June 26, in Manhattan.
Led by Friends of Animals, a group whose campaigns director, Edita Birnkrant, lives in Fresh Meadows, the rally will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. outside Port Authority headquarters, located at 225 Park Ave. South.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been killing the geese while they're molting, and therefore unable to fly, in order to avoid bird-plane collisions like the Miracle on the Hudson incident in January 2009. The animal activists say that is unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer money.
"It's now obvious that the USDA intends to kill every last Canada goose they can at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, a supposed safe haven for these creatures," said David Karopkin, founder of the GooseWatch NYC organization. "There is no need to kill these birds. It's obscene and tragic, and the public has a right to know what our government is doing."

Famine and Fashion: Needlewomen in the Nineteenth Century"The fifteen articles in this book address the seamstress's appearance as a 'real' figure in the changing economies of nineteenth-century Britain, America, and France, and as an important cultural icon in the art and literature of the period. They treat the many different types of needlewomen in the nineteenth century - from skilled milliners and dressmakers, some of whom owned their own businesses selling merchandise to other women (forming a unique 'female economy') to women who, through reduced circumstances, were forced into the lowest end of paid needlework, sewing clothing at home for starvation wages." "This volume assembles the work of leading American, British and Canadian scholars from many different fields, including art history, literary criticism, gender studies, labor history, business history, and economic history to draw together recent scholarship on needlewomen from a variety of different disciplines and methodologies. Famine and Fashion will therefore appeal to anyone studying images of work in the nineteenth century, popular and canonical nineteenth-century literature, the history of women's work, the history of sweated labor, the origins of the ready-made clothing industry and early feminism."--BOOK JACKET. |

New man says he loves me but won't leave his wife
IT'S six in the morning and my lover's just left. He says that he loves me but won't leave his wife till he's sure about us.
I'm 24 and he's 26. I met him at a night club in February. He seemed to be there on his own and looked so fit that I plucked up my courage and asked him to dance. He seemed really pleased to be asked.

Big Dicks At School is still enjoying spring break, and in their current porn film, Spring Fever Part 3, we are thrilled to see our favorite guys back in action. We've seen these guys previously having secret sex and threesomes, in many places and many positions. This gay story revolves around Angel Rock, our hot Latin lover, and the brown haired, lily white Dalton Pierce.
The guys are just hanging around at home. Two guys are outside playing ball, while the other two guys are sitting inside wondering why they have no alcohol. Dalton stops complaining as the bearded Angel comes in from playing ball. Hot and sweaty or not, Dalton tells Angel that he has a nice body and a cute ass. Angel doesn't speak English too well, but he understood enough to take the compliment with a grin.
Angel touches Dalton and the two begin flirting right away, discussing bathing suits and which was better. Next comes a bit of a fashion show as the guys try on bathing suits before deciding on something tight and revealing for Angel. They head to the pool, where within seconds Angel has a raging hard-on and Dalton is sucking that eight and a half inch cock fast and hard. Angel's dark arm reaches around and grabs Dalton's tight white ass (although neither guy has removed their bathing suit.) Angel repays the pleasures and is soon exploring the head of Dalton's uncut cock.
Things get hot and wild once they leave the pool and head for the bedroom. Stripped down to nothing, Dalton raises his smooth, white, bubble-butt as Angel lowers his thick, throbbing cock into the waiting hole. Angel pounds him hard and fast as the two boys enjoy their gay porn privacy. Our guys end in spasms of cum spilling all over Dalton's shaved pubes. The All American boy next door gets screwed nicely in Spring Fever Part 3.

No injuries in crash on Saturday
TOWNSHEND — No injuries were reported after a two-car crash on Saturday afternoon on Route 30.
In a press release, Vermont State Police Trooper James Matthews said Sher Ward, 64, of Townshend, was driving a 2003 Volkswagen north on Route 30 around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and planned to make a left turn. Lydia Mourad, 60, of West Roxbury, Mass., was also driving north in a 2003 Subaru Forester.
Matthews said Mourad failed to slow down and the Forester sideswiped the Volkswagen as it was turning.
Both vehicles came to rest under their own power off the travel portion of the road. No injuries were reported.
Matthews said Townshend Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and Rod's Mobil removed the vehicles.MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...

Buffy gets made in 1992 by director Fran Rubel Kuzui, with Kristy Swanson as Buffy. It isn't terrible, but it plays way campier than Whedon wanted it to be. He'd imagined it as a pop feminist allegory about a young woman discovering her own strength; it ends up just being about a cheerleader fighting vampires. After that, he does a lot of script-doctoring work, hired-gun stuff, lucrative and frustrating; writes most of the dialogue for Speed but gets arbitrated off the credits; rewrites the original Toy Story, which becomes the first animated movie ever nominated for a Best Screenplay Oscar; punches up Twister and the Kevin Costner maritime disaster Waterworld.
(On Waterworld, they wanted him to polish up the third act, which in the draft that Whedon inherited, took place on land, which suggested to Whedon that maybe the issues with Waterworld were not entirely endemic to Act 3. This would happen, again and again, when people would ask Whedon to do these things. "I'm always like, 'Your problem's not the third act, your problem is everything that comes before it,'" Whedon says, "and they never listen.")
You can dig around on the Internet, find good Joss Whedon scripts that became not-so-good movies. You can, for example, read the Whedon draft of Alien Resurrection, bungled in 1997 by director Jean-Pierre Jeunet:
Gediman finishes cutting. Another man steps in with a clamp. Sets it. Pulls apart the chest.
There she is...He says it like he's found a lost kitten. He reaches in and pulls out a sleeping, fetal but nearly ready to burst ALIEN.
That "lost kitten" line? That ironic-tender image parked there in the middle of a gross future-surgery scene? The way it humanizes the creepy surgeon while amplifying the moment's creepiness? Pure Whedon. (The alien-human hybrid that runs around at the end of the film, looking like a -yogurt-covered raisin with teeth? Pure somebody else.)
Around 1996 the production company that owns the rights to the Buffy property decides to develop it as a TV show. As a contractual courtesy they offer the project to Whedon, expecting him to pass. He takes the job. Initially it's supposed to be a half-hour action-comedy in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers vein, but as Whedon starts writing it becomes more of a drama (but with jokes), and then over the course of seven seasons it becomes a lot of other things. It's long-arc nerd candy, yes, with latex-forehead monsters scheming sinisterly in the spookiest sub-basements the fledgling WB network's budget can buy. But it's also the most deliberately progressive show on television—the monsters are just the pretext for a conversation about power, sexuality, community and alienation, adulthood and sacrifice that gets deeper every season. A rich text, as they say in academia, where Buffy quickly becomes its own cultural-studies subdiscipline—the fifth biennial Slayage Conference on the Whedonverses takes place this July in Vancouver.
It's a quintessentially '90s work, too, like Pulp Fiction was, like Scream was—a genre piece that acknowledges the degree to which it's recombinant and built from samples, where the characters have seen all the same movies as the audience. Seeing a TV show acknowledge the pop culture it was so clearly steeped in—even the simple fact that Buffy and her vampire-slaying cohorts referred to themselves as the "Scooby Gang"—felt revolutionary, says Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof.
As a counterexample, Lindelof points out that no one on The Walking Dead ever says the word "zombie" or brings up George Romero's movies. "I almost feel that's more of a stretch from reality than what Joss was doing. The idea of saying 'Let's have that conversation [in the work itself], let's acknowledge and celebrate the fact that we're creating something new out of old stuff,' was incredibly liberating, I think, for filmmakers of our generation."
Critics dig Buffy, but there's no TV-recap blogosphere in place to spread the gospel. So its fans get to feel like they've stumbled on something, televisual termite art that's managed to burrow past the basic-cable gatekeepers, adventurous cuisine served in a strip-mall storefront. The episodes that Whedon writes and directs himself help that process along, because they tend to be a) brilliant and b) formally inventive in an attention-grabbing, look-at-me-pushing-the-TV-boundaries-over-here kind of way—a forty-four-minute episode where almost nobody talks for twenty-seven minutes; an all-singing all-dancing episode with music and lyrics by Whedon.
Whedon says Buffy wasn't a deliberate experiment in how much genre-bending the market would bear. "It just made sense to me," he says. "I like horror; I like comedy; I like drama; I like action; I like female heroes. Why wouldn't I want all of them?" But TV tends to reward shows that commit to a category; in seven seasons it garners exactly one nontechnical Emmy nomination, a writing nod for "Hush," the one with no talking.
"As much as it was appreciated, it always felt underappreciated," Drew Goddard says. "It did break, to some extent, but a huge show on the WB isn't the same as a huge show elsewhere. It always had that sort of underground cult-ness to it that made people love it even more, in a way. It's like that thing where you like a band, and you want them to become the next big thing, but you're also happy when they stay in the garage."
"If you call a show Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Lindelof says, "you're immediately saying, 'I want this to be a cult show. It's never going to be the show that you're talking about with your mom. Maybe you have a cool mom, and I would love it if you and your mom both watched my show together, but this show is just for you."
And yet you can trace the whole geek-TV boom of the '00s back to Buffy, which pioneered a character-driven, post-camp approach to fantasy-genre subject matter that countless other shows eventually took to the bank. Bigger, glossier network shows like Alias and Lost, and also Syfy's acclaimed Battlestar Galactica reboot, and the superhero soap Heroes, and MTV's sexed-up Teen Wolf, on down to present-day shows like Grimm, which modernizes fairy tales the way Buffy tweaked the tropes of classic horror. If that litany sounds a little bit like a story of diminishing returns, okay—but his influence trickled up, too. The hyperarticulate-teen dialogue in Diablo Cody's Oscar-winning screenplay for Juno owed way more to Whedon's stammering neo-screwball voice than anything you'd actually overhear down at the Hot Topic. And then there's Twilight, a multibillion-dollar book-and-film-and-fragrance franchise whose central story line seemed (to put it charitably) somewhat post-Buffy.
"Joss can never say it," Goddard says. "He's very magnanimous about this stuff. But I look at Twilight and I'm like, 'Really? A teenage girl falls in love with a vampire that she can't be with? Is no one going to point out that this has been done before? We're really going to pretend this is original?' "

A 32-year-old Aurora man has been convicted in the death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son.
The Aurora Sentinel reports a jury found Ted Madrid guilty Friday of first-degree murder and two counts of child abuse resulting in death. The verdict means a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
Police say Madrid told them he was babysitting Caden Rodgers in January 2011 and tried to throw the boy onto a bed while roughhousing. But the boy missed the bed and was knocked unconscious when he hit his head. He died at a hospital.
Madrid's attorney said the death was an accident and called for a lesser charge, but prosecutors disagreed. They noted that 911 was not called until 90 minutes after the boy hit his head.

Would this same ruling apply to our project pursuing LEED-NCv2.2 for a planned 7-year phase out? Details of the project and the team\'s intended plans to demonstrate compliance are described below: The project is a multi-phased major renovation and demolition of the PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center located in Eugene, Oregon. The LEED-NC v2.2 project scope includes the two buildings referred to as the Main and Ancillary, both of which will undergo major renovations as a result of the project. The buildings will be cooled by 2 chillers, an existing 300-ton chiller and a new 600-ton chiller. The existing 300-ton centrifugal chiller located in the basement of the Main Building was manufactured by Carrier and installed in 1982. It had a major motor rebuild in approximately 1986. This unit supplies chilled water to the six air handlers in the Main second floor mechanical room that provide cooling to all the Main Building floors. This chiller uses R-11 refrigerant, which is a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and therefore violates the prerequisite requirements. The new 600-ton chiller will serve the Main and Ancillary Buildings in addition to the existing 300 ton chiller. Based on our load calculations, the peak cooling load in the Main Building is 435 tons and the Ancillary load is 450 tons. With these loads and Eugene weather data, the cooling load should not exceed 600 tons more for than 5% of the time. The 300 ton chiller will therefore be used less than 5% of the time. As the CFC chiller will be used less than 5% of the time, the project team is requesting a 7-year phase-out extension. In order to demonstrate compliance with the prerequisite the project will provide: 1) A summary of the new and existing buildings on campus and the cooling load of each building, 2) Sizes for each of the new and existing chillers, 3) A description of chiller staging to demonstrate use of CFC-free chillers as backup, and, 4) A letter of commitment from the owner, describing the phase-out plan and timeframe." "This inquiry is requesting to use a 7 year phase-out process for CFC refrigerants in order to qualify for EAp3 on a LEED NC v2.2 project where the CFC chiller will account for less than 5% of the building\'s cooling load.

We have an old Michigan farm house that has a covered 28'x10' front porch. The porch floor is tongue and groove wood that is painted. About every 2-3 years I have to sand and repaint it because the paint is peeling off. We are thinking about taking the wood off and replacing it with compsite or PVC, but I like the t&g look and don't want a deck look. I have also thought about tiling the floor. Has anyone ever done this? Does it hold up? Is it slippery when it's wet from rain or snow? We really only use the porch doing warm weather, it's not the main entrance to the house, but I don't want something that's really slippery because of our pets. I have never been a fan of tile because of the grout looking dirty. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I keep revisiting this everytime I have to repaint it. |

I strongley recomend you do not tile over a T&G wood proch. J. |
it does not sound like you care much for the tiles either. Don't do it and yes, it could be slippery and looks wierd to tile on a deck or wooden porch. Stick to simple and natural. Strip the wood down to the raw... and use a penetrating sealer with an oil top sealer. It will never peal and becomes part of the wood. You do have to keep feeding it with oil once in a while, but oil and wood become one....and the oil is a water repellant for the wood. like the oil used to treat a butcher block. I have never done it before but i know people do this for their wooden log homes and outdoor wood furniture... |

Need help with Threading
I'm trying to change a two threaded application (main/backgroundworker) into a true multithreaded application. As of now the backgroundworker only keeps the form refreshed while the main actually does all of the work. The amount of work though causes very slow execution time.
Program is written in C#
I have this:
declare parameterized threadstarts (two threads)
start threads
Then in the code where the threads are supposed to be running
initialize components
Set Component Variables
work with input file to create string to be worked on
Then the code searches the string for Regular Expressions like this
search for 1 thing
search for another thing
search for another thing
and so on
eventually after the last search it gets to
update progress
then it will either move to the next fragment of teh input file or be done, if it doesn't loop back to do more searching it hits
further update progress
end of function
Right now the end of function code is getting hit before any search besides the first one.

Well first you have it backwards, your background worker threads should be doing the actual work. Leave refreshing the UI to the main thread.
Second, it is hard to tell what the problem is from pseudo code. You are probably going to have to post actual code. But as far as making it faster, if you know what you are going to searching for in advance, that is the area where it can be split up into multiple sub-worker threads. However depending on your implementation, that might not be necessary, it might be slow because of the way you coded it. It depends.

My bad on the background worker, its actually doing all the real work, just I called it mainworker so I've been used to referring to it as main and thats why I wrote that.
I can't post the actual code because its classified, so I'll try and give a more detailed pseudocode.
Step 1:
Check the UI for what regular expressions should be searched for
Step 2:
Initialize these regular expression components
Step 3:
Using the input file calculate how many 100MB file fragments will be needed to complete the file.
Step 4:
Initialize loop to loop through these fragments
Step 5:
Actually search for the expressions in this manner:
matches = regexp.matches(string,expression)
matches = regexp.matches(string,expression)
and so on
Each expression is unique but hardcoded into the program.
My goal using multithreading is basically to have it so that steps 1-4 run on 1 thread to initialize everything for all of the other threads.
Step 5 would run each regexp search once per variable and I would hopefully be able to make it so that each of three threads would run 1 at a time so that three could be processed at once.
After the searching it would go back into a single thread to compile the log files and so on.
So basically, what I want is for the searching the individual regular expressions to be split between threads, while the rest of it runs as it already does so as to prevent the threads from stepping on each other.

Ok, let me give a more simplified example on how threading can be used to speed things up.
You have a list of 20 items and you are searching through a large text file for them. When you find them, you add them to a list.
So to break this into multiple threads, you decide how many threads to use. And would create that many threads all calling the same function with code similar to:
Your for loop would look like this:
for(int index = thread_number; index < max_item_count; index += thread_count)
And you would do your searching for the item in your list at a given index. Then if you find it you would add it to the found list for that thread.
Then when the for loop ends, it would add the items from its list to the main shared list. This is done since it is shared resource it prevents the thread waiting for its turn to grab the mutex.
So the function is the same, you just need to pass it the thread number, the thread count can be shared. If this was in a class, it would just be a data member of the class.
How many processors do you have on the computers to use? If varies, you may want to make the number of threads dynamic based on the number of processors in the computer. I believe the Environment class has a property to tell you the number of CPUs.
Does that make sense?

Just finished a kitchen remodel. We purchased a GE Cafe DW. When it was first installed by our general contractor, we were seeing condensation on the granite above the DW. A GE technician told us that we needed to lower it a tad, and pull it out so that the front of the door was flush with the nose of the granite, and maybe just a tad more than that. When it was first installed, our contractor used the braces on top of the DW to secure to plywood underneath the granite. When we pulled it out some, the braces no longer lined up with the plywood, so rather than try to drill into granite, we used the side braces to secure to our cabinets. Ran again with no condensation, so that problem was solved.
My next issue is the fact that we have to wrestle the door open/closed. OK, wrestle may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I honestly did question whether the DW handle could withstand the force required to open/close year after year. I hate using the cabinetry for leverage to open/close the DW. It was my understanding that the screws are supposed to prevent the DW from tipping forward when the door is open and racks are out, rather than provide leverage to open/close. I went to Home Depot and tried to open/close the floor model, and it was also pretty stubborn. Is this typical for GE DWs with hidden controls? Does the latche "wear" over time and become easier to open/close? Can the latch be a adjusted somehow? Thanks,

I have had my ge cafe dishwasher replaced 3 times, and the refrigerator twice. The second refrigerator is freezing up and water is forming on the ceiling of the unit. They are less than 9 months old. I am having the entire ge cafe line pulled out as soon as I can find a new line. It's too bad because it is beautiful, but what good is beautiful if it doesn't function well? |

One of the great riddles of our time is why so many people are such bad investors. After all, good investing isn't terribly difficult.

Dividends and inflation account for about half of investment returns, and the rest is largely attributed to time, perhaps a little luck, and an ability to remain graceful under pressure.
But few people, as demonstrated yet again by Dalbar's recently released annual Qualitative Analysis of Investor Behavior, can do what Kipling extolled—keep their heads when all about them are losing theirs. Because of this, most investors fail to match the annual returns of the market. In short, they greed in to Wall Street's latest craze and panic out when the party suddenly ends.
IN 2012, WHEN THE S&P rose 8.21%, Dalbar, a consulting firm, found that the average equity-fund investor had a 4.25% gain. Trailing the benchmark by almost four percentage points—close to 50%—is crummy, even if it's a vast improvement over 1998's results, when the index rose 17.9% and the typical stock-fund investor had a 7.25% gain.
Though Dalbar extols asset allocation among stocks and bonds as an antidote to psychological factors that it says account for 45% to 55% of the chronic return shortfall for equity and fixed-income investors, diversification is an increasingly nuanced concept.
In the past 30 years, technology has turned the world into a global flow chart for capital. And over the past 20 years, correlation—the tendency of all stocks to behave like one another—has rapidly increased.
Consider Europe's latest financial crisis. An ill wind from little Cyprus briefly pushed stock prices lower around the globe. Cyprus is a reminder that diversification is often powerless against correlation. That is all but certain to challenge the steady nerves of even the most stoic asset allocators.
What is needed—and this is the options industry's great challenge and opportunity—is a framework that blends active and passive investing, and takes advantage of the stock market's inevitable ups and downs.
Rather than panicking, as most people do when financial news turns dour and stock prices plunge, investors can calm themselves by selling puts on those same blue-chip stocks that are often the engines of long-term gains. Put-selling also makes great sense, even when stock prices are rising. In fact, it should be a mainstay of every investor's arsenal—provided they sell puts only on stocks that they want to buy and plan to own for three to five years.
Over the past 20 years, the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Index has risen 513%, compared with 414% for the S&P (Total Return) index. But the risk in the PutWrite Index was about 29% lower than the stock index's.

In November 2008, the stock was at about $70 a share when all the world was afraid the financial universe was collapsing. At the time, put prices were elevated and the options market would pay anyone top dollar to sell a put at a time when many people feared that stocks, already deeply depressed, might fall even lower.
Warren Buffett famously shouldered the risk in Goldman by buying $5 billion of preferred stock and made a nice return of about $1.3 billion using warrants (essentially long-dated call options) that he has now parlayed into about a 2% stake in the firm.
It's easy to say that the Sage of Omaha is so wealthy that few other people can invest on his terms. True, but false. Buffett has famously said that investors should buy fear and sell confidence. The options market lets investors do just that. It's time for the industry to write the new playbook for investors that, Dalbar's research shows, is desperately needed.

Ready, Set, PEDAL!
This morning, bike riders were up bright and early, ready to pedal their way through the hilly terrains of far northwest Illinois. They'll cruise through Stephenson, Carroll, JoDaviess, Ogle, and Winnebago Counties as part of "Nature's Rollercoaster," the 19th Annual Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom (IAITC) Bike Ride.
The event kicked off yesterday with an evening reception and lodging at its "home base," in the Freeport area.
Bruce Johnson, Stephenson County Farm Bureau Manager, was excited to welcome the group to his neck of the woods. "The riders will take in a diverse mix of scenery to enjoy in their travels - from dairy farms to windmills, and everything in-between," he said.
Daily routes run approximately 40 or 80 miles; riders can choose from either. Vehicle road support is available along the way.
"Rider safety is of utmost importance" said Charlie Grotevant, bike ride co-chairman. "We spend a great deal of time planning the best possible routes for great riding and great views of the countryside. That's one of the reasons we've had such a great following for 19 years now."
Along each bike route cyclists stop at schools where fun, interactive student assemblies are held. Cyclists and IAITC staff and volunteers tell students the important story of agriculture. Equally important, students are reminded about bicycle safety from this group of "pros." Evenings are spent experiencing local sites, family farms, and hearty meals.
Special incentives encouraged individuals to raise funds for Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom. Raising $1,000 or more earned a free registration, and a grant and book pack to a school or library of your choice; raising $500 earned a 50% discount on registration and a book pack; and those who raised $250 received a 25% discount on registration.
The Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom program is dedicated to teaching students the role that farmers and agriculture plays in our everyday lives. Participation in events like the IAITC Bike Ride helps raise funds to continue agriculture literacy programs and provide free resources to teachers in the classroom.

Well I have been running Ardour on Debian for at least 2 yrs. And have
found it very reliable.I have had crashes similar to yours. Mine were usally caused by a
corrupted routing/config file. But I have NEVER lost any audio data.
Which is the main reason I run Ardour.Looking at an old session there are 2 files that I would look at.
SessionName.ardour and SessionName.ardour.bak. I have had some luck
with restoring the session by copying the backup file
SessionName.ardour.bak to SessionName.ardour. And when worse come to
worst, I would just import the audio files into a new session. You
could also try "diff SessionName.ardour SessionName.ardour.bak".And remember Your Mileage May Very ;-)

Apple TV announced
In addition to the iPhone, Apple CEO Steve Jobs also unveiled the retail version of the pre-announced iTV streaming media device. Now called the Apple TV, the living room gadget allows users to wirelessly play audio and video content from a Mac or PC on a television. Jobs said the device will begin shipping in February for $299.
Along with the features previously shown, including the interface and browsing, Jobs revealed that the Apple TV will have a 40GB hard drive (for up to 50 hours of video, 9,000 songs, 25,000 photos or a combination of each) and is capable of delivering high-definition 720p output. Jobs also said that using high-speed AirPort 802.11 wireless networking, the device can auto-sync content from one computer or stream content from up to five additional computers to a TV.
"Apple TV is like a DVD player for the 21st century—you connect it to your entertainment system just like a DVD player, but it plays digital content you get from the Internet rather than DVDs you get from a physical store," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Apple TV plays the same iTunes content that users enjoy on their computers and iPods, so now they can even watch part of a movie in their living room, and watch the rest later on their iPod."

I personally think this is a big step in the right direction. Realize that this is setting up what is to come in the near future. I envision not paying comcast $75 for TV, paying Blockbuster $4.50 per movie and just paying per TV show, movie etc as I want them. Once HD downloads are available and feasible this will be a great option. I do agree it should combine more TiVo and also mac features to make it an all in one, but I feel this is really the first version of what will become a staple for the living room. I also think the streaming aspects are the way forward if performance is excellent. Especially if you can start viewing a file as soon as it downloads versus waiting for it to finish, copy to Ipod and plug into the TV.
I mean why do we really need to have 3-4 components set up just to listen to music, watch TV broadcasts and watch a movie.

Big thing I think is missing… streaming Internet Radio.
In general, I must say todays keynote was a bust for me. I like the iPhone interface etc. but would never buy a 4 (8)GB ipod.
Similarly, the iTV is too expensive for an iTunes addon.

I was really excited about this as way for PC owners to play iTunes easily in the living room stereo set-up (since AirTunes doesn't really work on a PC). Being able download TV shows I missed and watch them on my actual television was just a great bonus. But I won't be getting an HD set for a loooong time so now it's dead to me.
Posted by superape on January 9, 2007 at 8:39 PM (CST)
It seems that AppleTV works by wirelessly downloading content from your Mac (and up to 5 other computers) and copying it to its HDD. You then view content on your TV from AppleTV's HDD and not from media streamed from your Mac.
If so, I'm very disappointed. I was expecting a true video streamer that will also let me stream DVDs playing from my Mac.

Do we need the airport express or does it hook up to a normal wireless internet setup?
This will be good… as from experience of backing up dvds… some just dont workanymore.. if a movie downloaded from itunes works on both MY tv and ipod… who gives a crap…
hooray beer.

The theme of Apple's products announced today seems to be, "neat item(s), moves the industry foward, but doesn't really fit with people's wishes." For me, the iPhone and iTV are busts. I'll wait for version 2.0 or higher of these devices.
Posted by Chip Johnson on January 10, 2007 at 2:49 AM (CST)
It can't do HD….. which makes it an OLD technology…. and shipping it more than a year after the announcement is simply LAME…. Seems like Apple is selling mostly "Concepts" these days…. annouce it first & get people excited…. then they take their time getting it to work & sell it in 6 months to a year….. As the old saying goes…. "Talk is Cheap"..... Oh, wait…. All Apple products are actually Expensive…..
Posted by DJ on January 10, 2007 at 3:43 AM (CST)
Why does Apple seem to focus solely on lower quality content? The music is compressed at a low bit rate and there are no other bit rates to choose from, now they will be selling the Apple TV and it uses 720p resolution for HD rather than 1080p or even 1080i. I would love to hear from Apple as to why they're buisness plan is to focus exclusivly on lower quality content.
Posted by gear on January 10, 2007 at 6:42 AM (CST)
Can't see this product being popular outside the US until they get more video content onto the iTunes store. I was hoping that issue might get a mention from Mr Jobs, but no dice. How many people are going to cough up for a somewhat pointless box that just lets you play music videos or Pixar shorts on the telly? I'll save my pennies for an iPhone.
Posted by ukdave on January 10, 2007 at 9:45 AM (CST)
I think AppleTV is a stop gap for users that do not need another computer, but would like to see content on their Mac in their TV room. Sure, the Mac Mini w/Front Row seems to be AppleTV's big brother, but I just don't need all that. AppleTV is what I was looking for—it works just like Elgato's EyeHome, which I love, but is no longer supported.
Regarding recording TV, EyeTV fits into this scenario perfectly, and I look forward to adding this to my setup.
There's no need for iTunes Store content at all. The only hiccup I see is that I may need to re-rip some movies in a compatible format.

um i dont get one thing i have an old small comp connected to my hdtv it is connected in a home network and it has harddrive pockets, now i just take it out and put it in my normal comp, download it with movies and i can have the same experiance as the apple tv, also i have a 500gb harddrive, and i can play any format and get movies without drm protection, i see how this is a nice idea and all, but this is nothing new, and oh yes i have a remote too
Posted by christian on January 10, 2007 at 1:12 PM (CST)
DJ, Apple TV ouputs 720P by default, so it's definitely Hi-Def. Also, it was announced in Sept of 2006, and will be on sale in Feb. of 2007; that's certainly not "more than a year".

When playing songs in iTunes Library from a host computer, do you suppose Apple TV operates as if it's sharing that library? My question/worry is that if you use Apple TV to play your iTunes Library, your playcounts and last played dates won't be updated. (Playcounts and last played dates aren't updated when your iTunes Library is shared.) I know I'm a geek, but I have playlists that are dependent on those things to keep things fresh. I would prefer that when I play a song (or video) on Apple TV, those things would be updated. It would also be cool if I could control iTunes from Apple TV so I could hear the song on the TV sound system and on the host computer in another room.

Are you able to watch video files that aren't from iTunes (eg: AVI files downloaded by bit torrent) using this device?
If not then it's not worth it particularly because my iTunes store (Australia) has no video content yet.
Posted by Andy on January 10, 2007 at 9:15 PM (CST)
Similar devices have been selling for years in the Microsoft world. It's called a media extender and allows streaming access to your media library (radio, video, music, photos) on your Windows Media Center Edition PC. The extenders didn't have hard discs, but that is a minor issue. With a 40GB hard disk, it's not much more than a local cache.
I still don't see what buying this gets me over just plugging in my iPod in the dock I have wired up to my AV system.
Posted by kokketiel on January 11, 2007 at 7:44 AM (CST)
Do I understand correctly that the Apple TV device has only 2/3 the storage of my one-year-old iPod? And yet is aimed at higher-resolution video and doesn't need to be portable?
Posted by TechnoCat on January 12, 2007 at 3:22 PM (CST)
This would be a great product if:
1. HD movies & TV shows were available online
2. wireless speeds allowed download of HD media in a reasonable timeframe
3. apple TV had adequate capacity to store HD files
At this point, apple TV seems to offer nothing more than simply connecting a video iPod to your TV with the exception than you choose content on the screen instead of your iPOd.

I have been experimenting with using iTunes to treat videos like audios for about two years. Personally, I applaud this move to AppleTV—the iPod on steroids. I, too, have EyeTV (HD) and use that to make my movies.
For these two years we've been listening to iTunes throughout the house with the use of Air Express. I want to be able to distribute video in a similar fashion. I believe AppleTV will meet that desire.
If it is a "next version" of Front Row then, no, it will not deal with either Divx or AVI. It won't even play *.mov files. They must be MP4 or M4v files, at least based on my experience using Front Row as a stop gap.
What ATV will give us is control of the wireless media on the TV screen where this media is actually "consumed" in the home…in the home theater environment. Selecting movies, TV show (recordings), or audio from a wireless Apple server system is a very attractive prospect for me.
Yes, I have my MacBook Pro plugged into my TV using the adapter cable…which is just barely watchable. I EXPECT the output of this ATV box to be of much higher quality than I'm getting from the MBP with cable.
I don't want DVDs. I want a server-based audio/video system where I can select what I listen to or watch from a menu appearing on my home theater monitor.
ATV is a step in that evolution. I'm going through all my videos and "preparing" for that conversion right now. By the time it comes (next month) I expect to have a half a terrabyte of material to watch or listen to in my home theater without having any of my five macs in the room.
That prospect "sells" AppleTV to me. It only has to do what it claims to do. I don't need it to do anything else. I don't expect to use the built in 40GB HDD much at all. I expect to stream almost everything over 802.11g (or n)—a concept which I have already proven out with Front Row.
Bring it on….
PS: ...and I'm 62 years old.
Posted by Jim on January 16, 2007 at 3:25 PM (CST)
I'm almost on the same page with you Jim (and I'm not yet 62 :) )
I too wish for a world where I can stream my video from a central server in my house. I have a slimbox so the audio side doesnt matter to me.
I also dream of a world were I could afford to buy 10 Terabytes so I can put everything I have in one box and have it mirrored so I dont have to worry about a disk drive dying.
I think my 10 Terabyte dream will come much sooner then my dream of what Apple TV could be.
Why Jobs did not license the DivX codex is beyond me. Perhaps he worries about MPAA pressure?
Or maybe he's just evil and wants me to convert all my DivX, XviD, and plain old Avi container formats into mp4. Bah! I do it for my iPod for selective shows but no way could I do it for my collection! Not that I like having to convert. (rant on:One day in the not so distant future the technology and some company with balls will make an iPod killer all it need to do is play avis/Divx with no conversion and you wont see many white earbuds anymore.:rantoff)
If ATV is a step in that evolution its a really extremely small one. Unless it evolves a whole lot faster consumers, not natural selection, will kill the Apple TV. Why? Because when "N" is finally upon us we will have a slew of devices to choose from. I doubt any will communicate with my Itunes or the Apple Store but many people could careless about that and would take streaming divx/xvid/avi and VOBs (DVD copied to HD) over a device chained to Apple formats and a sour Apple store.
Yes it worked for the iPod (Hell, I even have 2-a nano and new 80gig) but it wont work for this.

I have seen this plant used indoors in bright light, but I noticed that the Ritz Carlton in downtown Los Angeles had these outside in a planter next to a south-facing wall. They create a very striking effect when planted en masse. I have a difficult spot in my yard under a sycamore tree that gets full sun in winter when the tree loses it leaves and almost total shade (bright indirect light) the rest of the year. This spot is also fairly dry even though I have irrigation, because the tree roots soak up all the moisture. The only plants I have been able to grow successfully in this spot are some types of azaleas, clivia, daylilies, agapanthus, and coleus (as an annual). Clivia in particular is well-suited. It would be great if I could use Sansevieria trifasciata in this spot, but I am concerned about whether the full sun in winter will harm it. I am also concerned about frost, but when I saw it planted outside at the hotel it made me think this is maybe a non-issue (or else maybe they cover it when a frost is expected). Can I plant Sansevieria trifasciata outside in SoCal in a spot like I described? |

I don't think the sun would be a problem, but frost will ruin foliage. As fast as they grow with plenty of sun and water, those leaves would easily/quickly be replaced if you did have an occasional problem and occasional damaged tips are OK with you. Pics of some of mine in the ground here (and a new pic from a couple weeks ago below.) I anticipate any I don't dig up will be killed by winter here, not just frost on some leaves. I would certainly try a few experimental pieces in your location. |

I live in Torrance, CA about 4 miles from the coast. All my sans (maybe 30 plants) are in pots (all species, no tri cultivars) outdoors on shelves in front of a south facing wall. They've been there for over 10 years and although some show leaf damage from low temps or improper watering (too much or too little), they do pretty good. |
purpleinopp, Oh how I wish those plants of yours stayed that bright white with green markings. Looks so nice. You grew them well this year. Solar, Do you think trifasciata is more frost prone to damage than the others. Interesting thought. Most can take zone 9?? And trifasciata zone 10?? |

Stush, thanks! But all I did was a dig a hole, insert plants, then do nothing since March. A dozen inches of rain in July? No problem. Last year - no rain all summer? No problem. At least for summer where possible, I recommend it. So easy to dig up, unlike many other plants. Takes seconds to excavate for trades/postage. Putting in a pot for winter, if necessary, would just take a few more. |

I live in a hot valley, more like Africa. I have seen them in front of a Bank along a So. faceing cement wall they all seem to look good all year long. Now I am wondering if my spell check is working. Please let me know my feeling will not be hurt. Norma |
Norma, I for one will never tell some one how to spell. With out spell checker I could not last a minuet. Even spell check gets confused with my typing. Thank you very much for posting. Stush |
the plants outside the hotel are replaced, rotated with fresh plants because over the years, they have not maintained their crisp and perfect appearance. I remember thinking that this would have to be done when I first drove past them. MANY plants in the public landscape are replaced when nobody is looking in order to give the appearance of perfection. If you want to grow them to PERFECTION in So CA, you will need to move them around, put them under shade cloth and in general NOT treat them like perennials under the naked sky. I am sure many of them will survive, but if their appearance matters to you, this is a nice place to grow them, but you will not get perfection, from a cosmetic standpoint. |

After thought . . . It's not so much that sans like trifasciata don't like water, it's more that they don't like their feet (roots) to stay wet. So planting them in ground that drains pretty quickly should not be an issue. |
