Editors' Top PicksSee All
Fall is an anxiously awaited time of year in the gadget world because it's when tech companies roll out some of their hottest gadgets in preparation for the holiday buying season. September in particular seems to be the prime month for MP3 player announcements, with last year marking the debut of the Apple iPod Nano. It looks like 2006 is set to continue this tradition, with the sleek Samsung YP-K5 leading the way. This unique flash player, available in 2GB ($210) and 4GB ($260) capacities, may be a bit pricey and thick around the middle, but that's not stopping it from turning some heads.
In the closed position, the K5 isn't that remarkable looking--rather reminiscent of the Olympus M:robe MR-100--but its smooth, black body feels good in the hand and its shiny face is eye-catching. Once the device is powered on, the visual experience becomes even more pleasing. Like the M:robe, the K5 features touch-sensitive controls, backlit in pleasing shades of blue. A center circle select key is surrounded by four arrow indicators, while Back and Menu selectors sit kitty-corner to one another on the outskirts. A smallish (1.7-inch) color OLED screen resides above the controls, and along the top edge is the power/hold switch. The bottom edge of the player houses the headphone jack and a proprietary USB port.

Lawyer seeks resolution for murder of Airdrie manBy: PAUL EVEREST | Posted: Thursday, Dec 12, 2013 10:33 am Lawyers are working on finding a possible �resolution� to a case involving a 24-year-old man charged with the first-degree murder of an Airdrie man before the matter goes to trial. Dustin Piper of Olds, is accused of murdering Garland Curtis in his Mountain Circle home in January. He made a brief court appearance in Calgary on Nov. 29 where Crown lawyer Britta Kristensen requested the matter be put over until Dec. 13. The reason for the delay is to see if the Crown and defence can resolve the case without a trial. Kristensen�s request was granted but she would not say what a resolution to the matter might look like. Piper has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and elected to have his case heard by a judge and jury. He has remained in custody in the Calgary Remand Centre since he was arrested in Didsbury on March 16. During his court appearance on Nov. 29, Piper was wearing a remand centre jumpsuit and was clean-shaven with short hair. His case has been put over several times since his arrest as lawyers waited for disclosure from police and because the lawyer representing Piper went on leave. Curtis, who was 40 at the time of his death, was found dead in his Airdrie home on Jan. 10 after a co-worker in Fort McMurray reported him missing. Police have said Piper and Curtis knew each other for a number of years as friends. A man who attended a court appearance for Piper earlier this year told reporters he was in a relationship with the accused at the time of his arrest and said Piper and Curtis had been romantically involved. Curtis�s 1994 Saturn sedan was discovered abandoned at a business in Olds on Jan. 21 and police said the vehicle was driven there following the murder. According to posts on his Facebook and LinkedIn pages at the time of his arrest, Piper attended Hugh Sutherland School in Carstairs and graduated from that school in 2007. He worked at McDonald�s and Walmart in Olds, as well as Future Shop in Red Deer, Penhold Summer Training Centre in Springbrook, East Side Mario�s Restaurant in Calgary and a Carstairs construction company. Piper�s LinkedIn page also states he won the silver Duke of Edinburgh award, which recognizes young people who develop a sense of responsibility to themselves and to their communities, and he served with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. In 2005, he took part in a CFB Cold Lake survival instructors course and his interests include gaming, movies, world culture, politics, history and human behaviour. A local couple told the Olds Albertan in March that Piper had lived with them at their home in Olds from March to August 2012. The first-degree murder charge against Piper has not been proven in court. Comments

AOL gets OK to repurchase another $150M in stock
NEW YORK (AP) — AOL Inc. said Monday that its board approved the repurchase of an additional $150 million in stock and the company's entrance into a new five-year $250 million credit facility.
So far this year, the New York-based internet company has bought back 1.4 million shares of common stock at an average price of $35.65, or a total of $50 million. That brings its total current available authorization to $200 million.
The shares will be repurchased over the next 12 months based on market conditions, AOL said.
At the same time, AOL's board authorized the company to enter into a five-year secured $250 million revolving credit facility with a lending group led by JP Morgan Chase Bank NA. AOL said it plans to use borrowings for general corporate purposes.
Karen Dykstra, AOL's executive vice president and CFO, said the move boosts the company's capital structure and marks another step forward in its financial progress.
AOL shares rose $1.32, or 4 percent, to $37.77 in premarket trading.

a very helpful app, and I would be happy if you support retina display. I appreciate your works. Best regrades.
It's a strong and customisable software, one of my favourites. I've been using since before becoming Vuze, I guess I started in version 2. The only thing that bothers me is how boring the installation became as now the installer has thousands of bloatware to be installed and you need to be cautious to not install them, as the installer is made to be confusing to lead you to install those crap. It's still possible to install only it, without all that bloatware, here's a guide on how-to: 1. Tick the "Customize" checkbox after you selected the installer language; 2. The only "Accept" button you need to click is the one in the same page where the above checkbox is in, all others you need to Decline; 3. Take you time to read every installation page. I'm not saying to read the ToS, but read the rest. You are a human, you should be more intelligent than the other animals, you have the power to decipher symbols and convert those to words and thus read a text, stop being lazy and make that brain work. And rule #3 is a must for every installer and always take a little time to read at least the important parts of every ToS (like Privacy or What we do with your data)

1 Star = 0 Star. If, and only IF you download directly using wget or curl, and get the REAL program (not SourceForge's Spyware, Adware and Malware pre-installer), and also, IF and only IF you use the CLASSIC UI, then this program is a 4-Star, maybe 5-Star. But, it immediately loses all stars when they opt to use the malware installer from SourceForge (like they dupe most people into doing). Also, the new UI (new for many many years now, when Azureus became Vuze), is disgustingly obnoxious. Ads, trailers, noise, useless garbage that wastes what precious little bandwidth I have. The ONLY reason I still use this program is because I can (somewhat tediously) eventually get it back to the classic settings. It's a downloader. I want it to download files. Efficiently. I don't want to chat on IRC, play video games, make waffles, scan outer space. Just download files. Period. Simple. But the developers are hell bent on making everyone hate this app, for some reason known only to the greedy. It's long since stopped being true Free Software, and become obnoxious bloatware from hell. P.S. I have used this program since the early days, many many years before it became Vuze, WELL OVER A DECADE NOW. So I am not some clueless noob. The core features still work, and there are a lot of configuation options, maybe the best out there. BUT I AM VERY CLOSE TO WALKING AWAY FROM IT FOREVER. Yes, that is how obnoxious this program has become.
Stay away!

Welcome to My Personal Page
Personal Gift
Has made a donation to this event
The time has come again to get up to Chicago and run through the city that owns my heart. It and its people are some of the finest, just short of those from the Texas homeland. (Ha!) I have come to greatly love this city and all that is does for me. In wanting to give something back to those around me, it only becomes fitting for me to take up the LiveStrong Challenge again, and pace down the 26.2 miles of gorgeous downtown Chi-town! In doing so, I want to be a part of something bigger than myself, and strive just to help one person, if anyone. I hope that my little time of fundraising while bring awareness to this dreaded illness will be well spent on someone we all know, love, have known, or will someday possibly meet that is afflicted with some form of cancer. Be nice to just do something to break this disease down to nothing, but if I cannot do that, I just want to help improve someone's life who might have to deal with this moreso than I.
As part of Team LIVESTRONG, I'm trying to make a difference in the fight against cancer. I've joined with other people around the globe and across different events to raise money for the LIVESTRONG Foundation.
The Foundation serves people affected by cancer and empowers them to take action against this disease that is now the world's leading cause of death. LIVESTRONG has become a symbol of hope and inspiration to people affected by cancer around the world.
The money I raise will support programs and services for cancer survivors. These resources help people diagnosed with cancer face the challenges of the disease head on and live life on their own terms. Livestrong.org/WeCanHelp
Please support me as I make a difference in the cancer fight through my participation in Team LIVESTRONG. Thank you!

On Uncommon Descent, defender of ID against creationist nonsense, Davescot makes the following comment about a posting by Paul Nelson about the fascinating complexity of the genome:
DaveScot Wrote:I still fail to see how ID predicts no junk DNA. Random mutation definitely happens and if itâs good at *anything* itâs good at producing unorganized, non-functional crappola. It can produce crap out of nothing and itâs even better at making crap out of stuff that wasnât crap to begin with.
Of course, Davescot has failed to follow the ID game play which includes the fallacious argument that ID predicted Junk DNA to have function. A poster name BFast is quick to remind DaveScot of his technical foul.
Bfast Wrote:Bottom line, significant IDers have said for a long time âthereâs value in that junkâ and the darwinists have said the opposite, that âthere cannot be value in that junk because there would be too many mutations per generation to be managed by RM+NS.â
The IDers said it, it proved to be true, itâs a confirmed prediction.
BFast is Right, Wrong and Wrong. Not too shabby for an ID defender.
Right in that ID proponents have argued that based on theistic considerations, Junk DNA could not possibly be junk. He is wrong that this is a prediction of ID which cannot state more than âdesign is that which we do not fully understandâ and he is wrong as to how Darwinists have seen Junk DNA.
And the myth continuesâ¦
Which shows once again that despite the valiant efforts of DaveScot, ID is still scientifically vacuous.

Kaija Rolin Barrett, a 2014 graduate Eastside High School, was named to the Academic Dean's list at St. John's University in Queens, New York.
Georgia College recognized some of Newton County's own high achievers this week, awarding five degrees to local residents and honoring over two dozen students for their scholastic aptitude and hard work.
Karen Morris, a resident of Covington, made the Fall 2014 Academic Achievement List at Georgia Southwestern State University and was among 468 students recognized for scholastic achievement.
The school year is in full swing, and parents of school-aged kids have no doubt been involved in at least one fundraiser already. Fundraisers help schools raise money for supplies or special activities that may not have been included in the budgets established by the local school district.
The Georgia Department of Education announced on Dec. 18 that West Newton Elementary School has been removed from the list of State Focus Schools after successfully decreasing the number of students not proficient by 18 percent. Overall, 38 schools were named from either the Priority or Focus Schools lists.

Peachtree Academy is scheduled to open a campus in Newton County this fall on U.S. Highway 278.
Already strapped for cash, the Newton County School Board received more bad news this week, learning that the budget would take yet another large cut after the drop in the local tax digest came in at 17 percent, which amounts to more than $300,000. This came on the heels of news from the state, that the position of pre-Kindergarten registration coordinator would no longer be grant funded.
Eastside High School's 2010 valedictorian Katelyn Yeomans and salutatorian Naomi Wills have worked hard for their entire school careers to earn good grades. Although their high school years officially end Saturday, hard work still lies ahead of them as they have both chosen challenging college majors.
Alcovy High School's class of 2010 has been offered over $1.7 million in scholarships this year, according to a press release from the Newton County School System.
Seniors at Alcovy High School have just a few days left before they graduate and excitement is at an all time high at the school, and none are more excited about the prospect of four years of hard work paying off than valedictorian Zach Bowers and salutatorian Elizabeth Darazs.
For four years Brooke Wilson and Janae' Jackson have worked on a number of things. On getting good grades and scoring well on their tests and on being involved in their schools, and on Friday evening their hard work will pay off when they take the stage as valedictorian and salutatorian of Newton High School's class of 2010.
The Newton County School System paid tribute to 57 retirees Thursday night at the annual retirement dinner, honoring those who have dedicated a combined total of 1,415 years of service to the children of Newton County. Principals had a chance to thank their teachers and staff members following a catered dinner at the Turner Lake Complex.
For the last 45 years the Newton County Rotary Club has taken great pride in honoring the top students in the county with their annual Top 10 awards and this year was no exception when the best and brightest Newton County has to offer were celebrated Monday night.
With the Newton County School System in such dire financial straights, any little bit of monetary help has been very much appreciated, and since January 2008, they have managed to apply for and receive more then $5 million in grant money to help fund different projects.
In a four to one vote, the Newton County Board of Education decided to dissolve Clements Theme School and turn Fairview Theme into a kindergarten through fifth-grade theme school.

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Newport Corporation (NASDAQ: NEWP) today announced that it has retired the final $12.4 million in principal amount of its 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due February 15, 2012, in accordance with their scheduled maturity.
Newport issued $175 million in principal amount of these notes in February 2007. The company retired most of the notes early at various times during the last five years.
In October 2011, the company obtained a $250-million senior secured credit facility from a syndicate of global financial institutions to provide financing for its ongoing growth initiatives, enhance its capital structure, and pre-fund the repayment of the remaining convertible notes.
Charles F. Cargile, Newport's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are pleased to have reduced our total outstanding debt and interest expense through the retirement of these notes. We continue to focus on effective balance sheet management and generating and preserving cash, and with our strong revenue growth and earnings performance, Newport has a solid financial position to support the achievement of our strategic goals." ABOUT NEWPORT CORPORATION Newport Corporation is a leading global supplier of advanced-technology products and systems to customers in the scientific research, aerospace and defense/security, microelectronics, life and health sciences and precision industrial manufacturing markets.

Newport is part of the Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index and the Russell 2000 Index.

Cargile regarding the Company's financial performance and position. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "estimate" or "continue" or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments and risks with respect to, among other things, Newport's ability to generate cash from operating activities and its ability to capitalize on opportunities to utilize cash, which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of Newport. Certain of these judgments and risks are discussed in more detail in Newport's Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011 and in Ophir's Annual Report filed with the Israeli Securities Authority for the year ended December 31, 2010.

"Loved that this announcement covered both our new address and our new baby! Just wish it could be customized with a different color such as purple instead of just pink."
"This postcard announcement was perfect! I loved being able to write a little note to family and friends. The light blue and gray colors looked great and the overall quality of paper and printing couldn't have been better. I will definitely order from here again."
"...that I didn't buy more! These cards surpassed my expectations! I had previously ordered birth announcements from another company and had to return them because they were hideous. After I got my money back I bought these. I wish I had ordered these first, it would have saved me a lot of time. I liked how simple the design was; once I put my information in it really looked like the card was designed just for him! I ordered two separate prints, one in English and one in Spanish, both look wonderful. The thick cardstock looks professional so I recommend using a high quality picture to match. Oh, and save yourself time and money by ordering more than what you think you'll need. Once I saw the cards I wanted to show off my baby by giving one to EVERYONE!"
"The colors were so vibrant and bright, and the options for text color and font style matched so well. The photo clarity was not as clear as I would have liked but it could have been due to the original photo submitted, it is hard to say. Overall, a really sweet looking announcement."
"Was very happy with the final product of this card. They looked exactly as the appeared on website. Colours were true, printing quality was excellent and paper was also high quality - a satin finish for the printed side and matte card on the back. Overall would use this service again."

Today I hit with the Wilson T-2000 !

This is from an article in Sports Illustrated written by Alexander Wolff:
'Connors had picked up the Wilson T-2000 racket for the same reason any teenager would, because its extruded-aluminum frame looked cool. Yet the T-2000 proved to be a perfect technical match for his game and far too temperamental for anyone else's. No one but Connors had the eye and the grooved ground strokes to find and exploit the racket's tiny sweet spot. "Everybody thought I hit the ball hard--I didn't hit the ball hard," he says, with a nod to the T-2000. As tennis journalist Peter Bodo puts it, Connors simply brandished "a futuristic instrument that gleamed with the promise of heroic deeds and lethal power. It was Arthur and Excalibur all over again."'
Good article ... describing Connors as a kind of Elvis.
As I recall, there was one US Open in the late 1980s where Connors ran out of T2000s (and when Wilson stopped making them). So he made a public appeal to weekend hackers. He received something like 1500 offers.

> I think that I've now actively avoided each major manufacturer three
*LAUGH* Sounds familiar.
> Anyone else remember the stiction problem in the Seagate 105MB drives?
Quantums had the problem as well. I vividly remember it at the time,
because I had to eat some crow for my public position to fellow engineers
about how "computers operated better with a light touch than with a
sledgehammer". Oddly, I've never owned a drive which needed this, but I
have had cohorts who did - and it was always a delight when I showed them
how to "fix" their "broken" drive. The first time, anyway. I had to
restrain some of them who would start to get overenthusiastic.
> And people used to say that SCSI was voodoo.
SCSI was really only voodoo because they ignored the Cardinal Rule of all
Cardinal Rules: NEVER HOT (UN)PLUG SCSI DRIVES. There was an insanely
stupid "urban myth" that you could just do this with abandon, not helped by
the fact that some times when you did this you'd probably not blow any
microfuses (or ones you needed to work properly). But regular violators
would inevitably find themselves stuck with full-on Bad Mojo SCSI "Voodoo".
Symptoms like:
(o) Drives only seem to work when set to certain SCSI IDs.
(o) Drives only seem to work in certain configurations, i.e., behind or
in front of certain other drives.
(o) Drives which only work when they're the only thing on the SCSI bus.
(o) Drives which only work when they're the first device in the chain.
(o) Drives which only work when the termination is removed, even if it's
at the end of the SCSI bus.
I've found that various Macintosh DTP and Service Bureaus would kvetch madly
about SCSI Voodoo, whilst blatantly ignoring the no-hot-reconnect/disconnect
Note: You can safely power-on a SCSI device that's been already connected
into a live system, however, if it's the end-device, it really should be
powered on [to ensure a proper supply of termination power].
The rules of SCSI are simple: provide termination at both ends of the chain
[most motherboards provided their end, so you only need to worry about one],
make sure there's enough termination power [ideally supplied from both
extrema of the bus cabling], and make sure the IDs are all different.
What I find annoying is how fragemented SCSI became after SCSI-2. So many
connectors, signalling methods, etc. What a mess.

Elasticity makes it possible to style hair and also is responsible for curl retention. But what exactly does the term elasticity mean? We know it has to do with the stretchiness of our hair, and we know it is a desirable property, but it may not be entirely clear what it is.
Also, what contributes to elasticity of hair, and how can we maintain or improve the quality in our own locks? These are important questions, and as always, much insight can be gleaned by an examination of the fundamental principles as well as the molecular structures that make up the hair.
What Does Elasticity Mean?
Elasticity is a term used to describe how a material responds to the application and removal of a specific type of mechanical load (pulling and/or bending). When a stress (force per unit area) is applied to a material, it stretches a certain amount beyond is original length. This deformation is dependent upon the stiffness or rigidity of the material. The ratio of applied stress to the amount of deformation/elongation that occurs is called the elastic (or Young's) modulus.
Rigid materials, such as iron, stretch very little with an applied force, while other materials, such as synthetic rubber, can stretch many times their original length without breaking. Dry hair can stretch to approximately 1.2 – 1.3 times its original length and still return to its dimensions, while wet hair is less rigid than dry hair and can stretch up to 1.5 times its length. Curly hair can stretch even than straight hair, as it is highly coiled in its relaxed state.

Listening Ear Trainer offers two systematic methods to improve your pitch recognition skills. The first method The Singing Funnel Method presents you randomly notes that you have selected for the exercise. Your task is to sing the notes with increasing precision. In the beginning the funnel is wide open: you may be more than 2 notes off and still pass that level. As you continue the funnel gets smaller and smaller. If you reach an accuracy of a quarter step, then you can identify notes with a precision necessary to distinguish the notes in our 12 half-step scales. The second method The Octave Anchor Pitches Method does not more...
What's New
Version 1.16:
- Has now 66 exercises for the Singing Funnel Method; 8 exercises for the Octave Anchor Pitches Method; 22 exercises for the Interval Overtone Method. The first 24 exercises are free.

CONCORD Thirty years ago, Darrell Waltrip won the inaugural NASCAR All-Star Race in dramatic fashion at Charlotte Motor Speedway, as his engine blew just as he crossed the finish line.
The next day, he soundly beat Harry Gant by more than 14 seconds to win the Coca-Cola World 600.
Just shy of six months later, Waltrip, crew chief Jeff Hammond and team owner Junior Johnson celebrated the third of Waltrips Cup series championships.
The trio credits a large part of that championship to the Memorial Day weekend performance at Charlotte that season.
Bill (Elliott) had such a huge points lead on us, but from that race weekend on, we knew we could beat him if we just worked harder, Waltrip said.
There was another key ingredient that weekend the car with which Waltrip won the all-star race.
It was so good, Waltrip wanted to run it in the 600. At first, NASCAR said yes, so long as Waltrip started at the rear of the field.
Sunday morning, just hours before the start of the race, NASCAR officials reversed themselves and Waltrips team was sent scurrying to re-prepare the car with which he had qualified.
Waltrips car made it to the starting grid just before the national anthem, and he went on to win the race.
He came close, however, to not even starting it.
I loved the all-star car
Through the first 10 races of the 1985 season, Elliott had already won five times and held a 19-point lead over Geoffrey Bodine in the series standings heading into the 600. Waltrip was sixth, 134 points back.
The previous fall, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., then the Cup series sponsor, had announced it was creating an all-star race, which would be held for the first time the following May on the day before the 600.
The winner of the race would receive $200,000 an enormous sum at that time.
Although Waltrip had yet to win a points-paying race that season, Hammond was determined to win the inaugural all-star event.
The effort we put into winning that first race will always stick in my mind because we never worked that hard on another car except for the Daytona 500, Hammond said.
Using a late pit strategy in order to have fresher tires at the finish, Waltrip ran down Gant and passed him on the last lap to win, even though his engine blew crossing the finish line.
I loved the all-star car, and after we won, we knew wed be stupid not to run it in the 600, Waltrip said. It was the fastest thing there, so why not run it?
At the time, NASCAR had none of the strict rules about the use of backup cars like it does today and the all-star race was brand new, so there had never been a similar request.
Hammond said Dick Beatty, then NASCARs competition director, told him Saturday afternoon the team could switch cars for the 600 since both had passed inspection, so long as Waltrip started at the rear of the field.
Hammond and his crew went right to work on refitting the car for the 600.
Sunday morning, four hours before the scheduled start of the 600, Hammond got a different message from NASCAR officials.
Well, NASCAR checked the rulebook a bit more because we were informed Sunday morning about 8:30 a.m. that we couldnt run it, Hammond said. By that time we had the car just about ready to race.
Johnson was incensed.
He told Hammond to load up the cars because we were pulling out and going home, Waltrip said. Since Junior was used to winning and we hadnt won yet then in the 1985 season, that moment seemed to put him over the edge. Junior didnt make idle threats.
No, he didnt.
NASCAR told me one thing and made me do another and that makes you mad, Johnson said. You couldnt get a good answer out of them back in them days, they didnt know what the (heck) they were doing themselves.
Sitting out the 600 would be a huge hit in points for Waltrip, effectively ending any chance he would have at the series title that season.
Hammond recalls staring at Waltrip and both saying the same thing at the same time: We cant just leave.
We worked our guts out
With an angry owner, an unprepared car and little time, Hammond and Waltrip were overwhelmed.
Since we had been so good on Saturday, Hammond and I knew it was imperative to calm Junior down so we could run the 600, Waltrip said.
It wasnt easy, but the team remained focused on the bigger picture.
The implications of us pulling out of the 600 were huge that year because we already were fighting an uphill battle with how well the Fords were running, Hammond said. You hate to leave a prize like that on the table just to prove a point. Our point was better proven by taking a car that we felt was not as good as what we had on Saturday and kicking their butts with it on Sunday.
The team first had to take the engine out of the all-star car and put in back in the 600 car, in addition to undoing numerous other changes made the day before.
I was perturbed because NASCAR let us do all the work to change the car and then go back and put it back the way it was, Johnson said. You always worry about leaving something loose when youre working in a panic.
Said Hammond: I worked as hard as Ive ever worked with a group of men in my life to undo what wed already done.
The crew, with Waltrip, rolled out the car just as the national anthem began.
In the end, Waltrip, Hammond and Johnson got what they all craved their first points-paying victory of the season.
The path to Victory Lane was long but perhaps necessary.
We took on all challengers coming and going, whether NASCAR or Harry Gant or whatever 600 miles at Charlotte could throw at you in the heat of the day, and came out on top, Hammond said. It was a testament to what our sport really is all about.
The result is not one Johnson or Waltrip will ever forget.
That weekend was something special, and it was the start of us really going after that championship, Johnson said. We used a lot of what we learned that weekend the rest of the season.
Said Waltrip: That weekend pole-vaulted us and got us the momentum and motivation we needed to fight Bill (Elliott) and wrestle the championship away from him. We worked our guts out.

New generation of von Trapps embrace Sound of Music legacy
Now, however, the US-born grandson of Maria, the singing governess played by Julie Andrews, is persuading his family to embrace a film that many relatives have long viewed as more of a curse than a blessing.
Sam von Trapp, 36, a dashing former Ralph Lauren model who once appeared on People magazine's most eligible bachelors list and has just taken over the family business, starred in a television commercial advertising the 2,400-acre resort during last week's annual US broadcast of the 1965 film. It was the first time the Trapp Family Lodge had been promoted directly on the back of the film.
Sam intends to bring back family sing-alongs at the lodge later this year. And he is in talks with two television production companies about a possible reality show based at the lodge. The idea of a"Maria Idol" would probably have horrified the family matriarch, a much stricter and more domineering figure than the saintly character portrayed by Andrews, but he insists any programme would be"tastefully done".
The family has never directly profited from the film or musical; Maria sold the rights to the family story to a German film company in the mid-1950s for $9,000. But for decades they have run the cross-country skiing lodge and resort that trades on the family name, where waitresses in dirndls serve Austrian food.
Sam's enthusiasm for the Sound of Music legacy is overcoming the reticence of his father, Johannes, 69, Maria's youngest child and the lodge's general manager....

Hello GW! Well, had my first conceptual meeting with the architect today. I pretty much decided that a large addition with a two car garage is out...too expensive and would overwhelm the existing house. Now, we come to the fun stuff. How to add an 3 story addition (10 x 20 ish, garage/basement, family room, BD) of the side of a tiny house (920 sq ft) on a very sloping lot (~10 feet drop between the road and the new garage basement floors. So: we are entertaining 3 options...all these options with have a similar exterior and the roof ridges (old and new) would be the same height. So, my questions are: 1. Have you all seen old houses with nice stairways to account for different half-levels? I'd hate to have it look like a 60s split level inside. Thank you :) I'm including 1 picture...I can't figure how to upload more than 1 on the same post!!! |

Follow-Up Postings:
If it helps, the front and 1 side of the existing foundation is 4 feet high ledge then concrete block atop the ledge. Then other 2 sides of the foundation are concrete block. We are definitely not on soft soil...we have more bedrock at grade than not...which might be another rationale for either no garage or adding onto the foundation. Of course, I'd have to get the requisite structural engineer signoff, zoning signoff, yadda yadda. Or I give up the ghost on a garage. I would hate it (since I'm a car lover and my cars are currently outside and getting pooped on by birds every day!) but I have a feeling that is where I will likely end up. Here's a directional pic of the first floor (all the internal layout for the new addition (at left) need to be worked thru. |

After running the comparable sales and likely mortgage numbers last night, and with this news today...I briefly considering just renovating the existing house (kitchen, bath and mechnanical), selling it, and buying another place. But prices in my suburban Boston town have skyrocketed again. and there are only 5 houses for sale in my town within 100k of what I paid for my tiny house 4 years ago...and they all are small houses (under 1300 sq feet) that need full renovations too and they don't have my great elementary school district or abut a 40 acre park like my little cutie. I think I need a drink :) Pic of potential 2nd floor layout..addition on left. |
This post was edited by navi_jen on Thu, Jul 24, 14 at 20:52
For what it's worth, I like Option 2. If you go with Option 3, talk to an engineer about it...there are probably issues involved most contractors don't usually think about. Also, think about insulation and flooding issues. How hot would the attic bedroom get in the summer? How much heat would you lose through the garape? How do the prices of the options compare? |

Wednesday, July 16 10:18:19
Cherrywood Business Park and Development Land, a 400-acre site in Dublin's southern suburbs, is for sale through Savills with a guide price in excess of E220m.
The sellers say this is the most prominent undeveloped land bank to ever come to the market in Ireland and is expected to become a focal point for development in Dublin over the next 10 years following the recent adoption of the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone (SDZ).
The SDZ, which provides a 'fast track' planning process for development, stipulates that the land must be utilised for the construction of a town centre, surrounded by substantial residential, office and retail space. It is estimated that the Gross Development Value (GDV) as of today in relation to the undeveloped land is in excess of approximately E2.5bn.
According to Savills, the development of Cherrywood is of strategic importance to the Irish economy, in terms of the potential for FDI, job creation and addressing the rapidly declining supply of office and housing space in Dublin. It is estimated that up to 10,000 new homes are required per year in Dublin to accommodate a growing population. Under the provisions of the SDZ, the lands being offered for sale could accommodate up to 3,836 residential units.
The development potential of the land is underpinned by the expenditure already incurred of approximately E40million on the provision of infrastructure in recent years. The site has a dedicated junction onto the M50 and N11 - two of Ireland's most important motorways which provide swift access to all Dublin regions and to the south-east of the country. Furthermore, the public transport options - which include numerous bus stops, and 3 dedicated LUAS stations (light rail) based on the land - provide direct access to Dublin city centre in approximately 40 minutes.
Mark Reynolds, Director Development and Consultancy at Savills Ireland said; "Cherrywood is a suburban development unlike any other in Ireland. It is larger than London's Hyde Park and represents an unrivalled opportunity to develop a new destination in a much sought after suburb of South Dublin. Its location, combined with excellent surrounding existing transportation links and infrastructure, means that it will be a priority location for development for the next 10 to 15 years. Simply put, no opportunity of this scale is ever likely to be presented again in Dublin."
In addition to the potential for residential development, the Cherrywood SDZ also allows for up to 484,474 sq.m of non-residential development. This includes approximately 37,800 sq.m of retail space within the town centre zoning lands being offered for sale, and approximately 220,000 sq.m. of office space primarily located within the surrounding area of the well-established Cherrywood Business Park.

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been holding secret talks with Taliban officials in the hope of persuading them to make peace with his government, his spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday, confirming a New York Times report.
"I can confirm that ... Taliban are willing more than ever to join the peace process," Aimal Faizi said. "Contacts have been made and we are also in touch with them."
A member of Afghanistan's High Peace Council also confirmed that talks had taken place, but was measured in his assessment of their success.
"Talks took place in Dubai three weeks ago between government officials and Taliban who flew from Doha, but we are still waiting to see the result," he told Reuters.
Western and Afghan officials speaking to the Times also said the talks had borne little fruit so far, although they may help explain Karzai's mounting public hostility to Washington.
The relationship has come under increasing pressure since November, when he announced his intention to avoid signing a bilateral security deal with the United States until after a presidential election on April 5.
His decision to drop a deal that had taken about a year to hammer out shocked Western diplomats. The uncertainty about Afghanistan's fate after U.S. troops pull out has also weighed on the economy.
Faizi did not directly link Karzai's surprise move to the start of talks with the Taliban, but said relations had improved since then.
Relations with the United States have been on a downward spiral, however, and Karzai's refusal to sign is sapping already scant support for the war in Washington, which has halved aid for civilian assistance in the fiscal year 2014.
President Barack Obama, frustrated by Karzai's refusal to sign the accord, was due to meet top commanders at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the future of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.
Washington has signalled it could pull all troops out after 2014 unless a deal is signed soon. This would leave Afghanistan's fledgling security forces to fight the Taliban insurgency alone, without U.S. financial and military support.
The Taliban have vowed to derail the election, and have stepped up attacks in Kabul despite the peace talks.
January's tally of attacks was the highest since 2008, according to security officials, and the trend has continued into February, with two bombs going off in Kabul on Monday.

As Danica Patrick continues to be a back-packer on most weekend grinds on the NASCAR circuit, the chance of a complete makeover looms more and more as a possibility.
Is Formula One in her future?
There is a logical window of opportunity. Gene Haas, co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing and one of Patrick's bosses, needs to fill two seats for his F-1 startup team within the next two seasons. He was asked last week if Patrick could be in the mix of drivers.
"She would," Haas said. "She would bring an awful lot of viewership. It would be great for America. She would be a great candidate.
"Whether that's going to happen, that's kind of a long shot."
At 32, Patrick isn't making any great strides in her second full-time season on the NASCAR Cup circuit. She was 27th in points last season and ranks 28th in 2014. She finished two laps down in 37th place at Pocono last weekend, after cutting a left-front tire on Lap 138 of the 160-lap race and then hitting the wall in Turn 3.
A shift to F-1 would mean Patrick is waving a white flag when it comes to stock-car racing, but it also could be a more practical move because her forte is open-wheel racing.
Haas plans to field one car in 2015 before adding a second the next season to give Stewart-Haas Racing a better chance at adjusting to F-1.
Junior on a roll: Oh, what a year for Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR's Favorite Son. He has been to Victory Lane twice this season after winning for the first time in his career at Pocono. This is the first time since his six-win 2004 season that Earnhardt has scored more than two victories.
It prompted one media member to jokingly ask at Pocono if the 88 (Earnhardt) is the new 48 (Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson).
"They just come off of two straight wins, and everybody was about to crown him the champion," Earnhardt said. "You know, two weeks before they were wondering what the hell was wrong with him, and then two weeks later he's the best thing on the block. We just got to keep everything in perspective. Jimmie is an awesome teammate. We're successful because of their success and vice versa. We really work well together.
"They're the 48 and we're the 88, and I don't want to be the new 48. I want to be the new 88. We'll definitely try to continue to work hard and try to win some more races and try to leave our own mark."
Longtime owner passes: Condolences to the family of longtime car owner Junie Donlavey, who died Monday night after a long bout with Alzheimer's disease. Donlavey, 90, fielded cars from 1950 to 2002 in NASAR's top series.
"With Junie Donlavey's passing this week, NASCAR lost a treasure, a man who personified NASCAR's proud past," NASCAR officials said in a statement. "With 863 starts as a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car owner, he won over millions of fans through his 50-plus years in our sport."

Victor Sjöstrom as "Dr. Isak Borg"
Crotchety retired doctor Isak Borg (Victor Sjöstrom) travels from Stockholm to Lund, Sweden, with his pregnant and unhappy daughter-in-law, Marianne (Ingrid Thulin), in order to receive an honorary degree from his alma mater. Along the way, they encounter a series of hitchhikers, each of whom causes the elderly doctor to muse upon the pleasures and failures of his own life. These include the vivacious young Sara (Bibi Andersson), a dead ringer for the doctor's own first love.

'Portrait of Wally' a fascinating documentary about Nazi art theft
"Portrait of Wally," a documentary directed by Andrew Shea about the Nazi theft of a painting by Egon Schiele, is a fascinating if somewhat convoluted film. It's playing at SIFF Cinema at the Uptown, in Seattle.
Seattle Times movie critic
'Portrait of Wally,' a documentary directed by Andrew Shea. 90 minutes. Not rated. SIFF Cinema at the Uptown.
She gazes out from the canvas, head coquettishly tilted at an angle; her eyes the color of a summer sky, her hair a soft yet assertive red. She is Wally, the mistress of Austrian painter Egon Schiele, and the painting is the 1912 "Portrait of Wally," an affectionate portrait meant to hang side-by-side with a corresponding work depicting Schiele himself. But, as we learn from Andrew Shea's intriguing documentary of the same name, "Wally," the painting, sat alone for many years, the center of a legal battle between the art world and the Jewish family from whom the painting was stolen.
Like many works of art, "Portrait of Wally" was seized by Nazis (from Vienna art dealer Lea Bondi, who had hung the painting not in her gallery but her home). After the war, it found its way to Vienna's Belvedere Museum (due to an apparent clerical error that listed the painting among a separate Schiele collection) and was then bought by Schiele collector Rudolph Leopold. Though Bondi, and later, her heirs tried to assert ownership of "Wally," the painting remained at the Leopold Museum until it was sent to New York's Museum of Modern Art for a 1997 exhibit. More than half a century after the war, suddenly "Wally" was in the news: MoMA, asked by Bondi's heirs to hold on to the painting until its ownership could be investigated, refused. A district attorney issued a subpoena forbidding the museum to return the painting to Austria, and thus launched a 13-year criminal investigation, as Wally smiled serenely from a crate locked away.
It's a fascinating story, even as Shea's film sometimes tells it in a slightly convoluted way. You leave the film haunted by the blurry black-and-white footage of a peaceful, stylish prewar Vienna; and by the words, used by one of the film's narrators, speaking of works looted by Nazis and never returned to their owners: "They had an interest," he says of the art world, "in closing their eyes."

I was wondering, when is the best time for harvest? I know it depends based on the type. I have an oroblanco grapefruit, Bearss Lemon, Key Lime, and Red Naval orange. I had asked this a long time ago and never got a response. I know you can taste them but since they are young (3 years) I have little fruit. Only two on the oroblanco so I dont want to waste any. If someone could let me know for Central Florida or direct me to a good web site. I think grapefruit is late jan, but not sure. Thanks |

Hello, Well, I don't believe their is a "Best Time for Harvest per say". I believe that much more than type effects this. Here are some things to consider: 1) Variety & Species of Fruit, time to maturity - Every variety of citrus has a slightly different time to maturity. Lets assume your Oroblanco grapefruit tree takes 11 months to maturity. So if you blosom and have a flower fertilized in January, then your grapefruit will be mature for plucking in the begining of December. 2) Citrus typical time to maturity - There is none, however, in the US a have seen a lot of timeframes for Nov-Dec or Jan-Mar. Also with different varieties and species that you own each one matures at different rates. homecitrusgrowers.co.uk has harvested between X-Mas and New Years day, however, that doesn't necessarily mean that that is the best time to harvest. 3) Syncing your citrus - In other words, make the fertilization time of your flowers occur manually by you. Clip off flowers too early or late from your fertilization time. Once again lets make some assumptions. Grapefruit - 11 months BTW, none of these times are to be quoted, they are just examples. 3) Health of your trees - If your trees are unhealthy in terms of bugs, disease, fertilization, water or light depreivation, etc, then these will effect whether the fruit grows too slow, matures to fast, or at all. I am sure there are other factors to effect time to harvest but these are what I could think of off the top of my head. So the answer to your question is there is no official time to harvest. Observation and knowing how long it takes for your fruit to mature will determine the best harvest time for you. I believe times for your fruit to mature per fruit may be available from your plant supplier(s), and on the web. Also if nothing pans out ask for times to maturity in this forus. Who knows, some fellow posters may know the value of these 4 varieties. Anyway, that's my 2 cents ;) VTY |

'Oro Blanco' -- I can't be certain on this one, since it's a California variety, seldom seen in Florida. But since it is grown in CA specifically because it's less acidic than most of "our" varieties, I'd expect it to be early -- likely by early December. But I'm not sure. Another thing to consider is that the true grapefruit will hang on the tree for quite a long time, after reaching maturity, and stay pretty good in quality. 'Oro Blanco' may do that too, but I really don't know; it is part pummelo, so not a pure grapefruit. Under Florida conditions, pummelos tend to dry out rather badly if left too long on the tree. So I don't know if that trait was passed along. In any case, California data will not work here; our climates are so different that maturity dates virtually never match up, even within several months. 'Key' lime is ready when the fruit turn yellow. They'll usually be somewhere between the size of a U.S. quarter and a golf ball. 'Bearss' lemon (and all other lemons) are "ready" any time they are big enough to suit you. The bigger they get, the juicier they'll be, but commercial lemons from Florida are always picked grossly immature and then colored up in coloring rooms. Since the goal with a lemon is very high citric acid content and low sugar content, physiologically green is better. If you leave them on the tree, they'll become huge, sometimes exceeding the size of a large grapefruit. If you don't mind that look, they will be loaded with high quality juice at that time. I'd still pick and use them before they turn yellow. Red navel -- decent by late November; really good by mid-December, most years. On a young tree, they'll dry out shortly after they reach maturity, so if you let it hang on the tree into January, you're likely to be disappointed. Grapefruit and oranges tend to be seasonal here; lemons and limes tend to have multiple crops per year. |

WHAM13 - Search Results
Buffalo woman in hot-air balloon accident
Buffalo, N.Y. - 13WHAM's sister station WKBW said one of the victims in a Virginia hot-air balloon accident is from Buffalo.
Natalie Lewis, 24, is the Director of Basketball Operations at the University of Richmond.
Lewis' parents are in Virginia waiting on news of their daughter's condition.
They released the following statement Saturday:
The search continues for our beloved daughter and we remain hopeful and ask for your continued prayers.
The National Transportation Safety Board says it will have a preliminary report on a deadly balloon crash in Virginia in 10 days.
An air safety investigator said that officials have yet to examine the records of the balloon or the pilot.
Investigator Heidi Moats said once the recovery of the wreckage is complete, the agency will "examine the man, the machine and the environment."
Searchers have recovered the bodies of two of three people who were on the balloon when it drifted into a power line, caught fire and crashed Friday night.

So I don't know if you heard, but apparently the Annoyed Librarian has sold out and has started writing for LJ.
I saw a post that derided her (or their) new found fame as if getting paid a little money for writing is a horrible thing. But now she has to really write stuff. She has to find a way to be annoyed about libraries once or twice a week in order to earn her keep; and this means she's probably going to have to make stuff up. I hope she can figure out how to do it and still "keep it real." (sorry.)
But because of this news, I feel I need to confess something to all of my readers, the.effing.librarian has been making money writing about libraries for many years now, for example:
Dear Penthouse letters,
You won't believe what happened to me in the LIBRARY the other day. I was browsing the stacks looking for a tune-up manual for my badass Kawasaki 650 when I was approached by a woman who was pretty stacked herself. She had huge double-D's, and when she noticed my gaze targeting her huge rack, she pressed past me in the narrow aisle and pushed those well-fed puppies against my tense chest. And you can bet that's not all that was getting tense.
She was somewhere in her thirties, a little on the plain side, but pretty, with her hair pinned up in the back and her lips colored the same bright red that was printed on the "no cell phones" sign in the front of the Circulation desk. Her skirt stretched against her firm backside as she bent down to retrieve my book. -- Read More
Currently, Walt's working on the first part of The Liblog Landscape 2007-2008–the part where he looks at patterns among the blogs. He Says it's going well, and he's just about to start on the chapter that interests him the most. But he's wondering just what data points to include. Maybe an example would help?
Ellyssa Kroski, who writes at iLibrarian, also teaches a class at San Jose State University on the Open Movement and Libraries (Fall of 2008). As part of the class shes has done interviews with such notable figures as Stephen Downes of the National Research Council in Canada, and Nicole Engard of LibLime. Her guest a couple weeks ago was Jimmy Wales. You can hear the full 10 minutes interview with Jimmy Wales here.

BlogWorldExpo 2008 remains underway and has been a unique event. In many cases, the LISTen production team have been some of the only ones conducting stand-up interviews. Los Angeles-based TechZulu is also on the floor doing interviews.
Who isn't here? We've been looking for representatives from CNET and other tech news outlets. They're surprisingly missing. With the TWiT network suffering a fairly major server outage right now, their attention is focused on their own house rather than the happenings here.
Interviews we have conducted so far include:
The event continues today as well as Sunday. The next episode of LISTen will have coverage from the event. Specials throughout the week might also arise, circumstances permitting.
I know, my absence of late has left a giant gaping hole in your hearts somewhere right below the left ventricle or something. It's hard to visualize on the ultrasound, because no one in the clinic knows really how to work one of these things...
We'll hold the medical stuff at the moment, at least, as it pertains to me, except to say that we've got a loose name of what has been keeping me from living a normal life for -- well, it's been at least 20 years, but it only got particularly nasty in the last eight, and horribly blood-curdling nasty in the last five. It's a sleep disorder, they can not cure it, and if the case proves to be beyond a moderate sort of manifestation, they really can't treat it terribly effectively. A lot of non-sleep/neurological doctors will tell you that they can... There's this new drug... Uh. No.
Long and the short is, the sleep-neuro-guy says that I function at about 20% capacity on a good day. It isn't going to get better than that at this point, or even in the mid-range future.
So I've come to terms with the fact I am not going back to work in a normal environment. I've come to terms that I will never be able to see a movie in a theater again. I'm trying to deal with the idea that if I can come home and mentally function (or at least not walk into solid objects) after a twenty minute trip to the grocery store, I am having a pretty damn good day.
I hate not doing stuff. You know that, right? -- Read More
Olivia Liang of the Guardian/Observers wonders if some masterpieces were overlooked. As the status of the Booker becomes ever more lofty, so the pressure on the jury grows to select the definitive book of the year. Blogging about the decision-making process, judge Alex Clark observed that the realisation 'that we were engaged in choosing the winner of a prize that had been won by Naipaul, not to mention Iris Murdoch, JM Coetzee, William Golding and two of this year's longlisted authors (John Berger and Salman Rushdie), is enough to send one scurrying back to one's looming piles and ever-increasing notes'. The short list follows.
The LISNews Podcast (LISTen) team is gathering ideas and concepts to inquire about with BlogWorldExpo exhibitors. This PDF (Or the Website) has the exhibitors listed with brief descriptions of what they do as well as their websites. Full questions need not be posed, just areas to explore.
If there is anything you'd like to hear about in a future LISTen podcast, please let us know.
You have about a week to get your questions in, we would need to hear back from you and others via e-mail by late night on September 17th.
The 2008 BlogWorld & New Media Expo will take place September 20-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. In addition to the only industry-wide exhibition, BlogWorld features the largest blogging conference in the world including more than 50 seminars, panel discussions and keynotes from iconic personalities on the leading-edge of online technology and internet-savvy business.
Walt's finishing up Phase 1 of The Liblog Landscape, 2007-2008: A Lateral View (possibly not the final title). Phase 1 has two parts: Identifying liblogs that should be part of the study/survey, and doing the blog-level metrics for those blogs.
Right now, the list consists of 587 blogs. You can see the list here (yes, it's in alphabetical order, leaving out initial articles and symbols), or click on the last of the "Pages" in the right column (which gets you to the same list).

As Ls turn to clips, clips turn to roaches
And those turn to bowl hits,
from DyMe-A-DuZiN (Ft. Capital STEEZ, CJ Fly & Joey BADA$$) – Swank Sinatra Lyrics on Genius
A play on the last line. When you smoke a joint, or blunt for that matter, it gets smaller until it's unsmokable without a clip. Eventually that gets so small that it's a roach that can't be smoked at all without taking out the weed and either smoking a bowl out of some kind of pipe or putting it another "Smoking Utensil." Looking back we can see that all these different things are the fire getting closer to your face.

Celebs Who Crush on Harry Styles: Kate Upton
