Somehow fashion designers manage to make what seems to be decent money
designing original fashions even where they do not get copyright protection
for their fashion designs.
Is it that fashion designers are more astute when it comes to getting paid for
hteir creations? Are they more intelligent than songwriters?

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Many of you will probably wonder
why we put Windows Vista on the cover of this month's issue. "So many other computer magazines are hyping Vista," you'll say. "Why does a Linux magazine have to do it? Aren't you supposed to be a refuge from Windows hype?" Hype, however, is the whole reason why an issue like this is necessary. The problem isn't that these other magazines mention Vista; the real problem is that, all too often, they mingle their coverage of Vista with a spoon-fed version of the Microsoft world view. In Microsoft's view of reality, Linux hardly even exists, but the best response to this limited perspective is not to imagine a world in which Windows doesn't exist. A more productive path is to take up the challenge of providing the information our readers will need to keep Windows and Linux connected. Windows is part of the landscape, like a tree or a rock. If you happen onto it, you have to either go around it or figure out some way to deal with it. In either case, it helps to have good information. Our goal is to report on things you'll need to know to keep your Linux systems running smoothly in mixed environments.

Baseball: Big rally not enough as ThunderBolts fall to Gateway Grizzlies
By Steve Millar For Sun-Times Media August 4, 2014 10:50PM
Windy City's Ryan Soares lines up the throw to first for the out as the Thunderbolts play the Gateway Grizzlies in Crestwood, Illinois, August 4, 2014.|Allen Cunningham/For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: September 6, 2014 6:24AM
Down 10-3 in the seventh inning Monday night, the Windy City ThunderBolts mounted a furious rally to pull to within one run.
A familiar face — and then rain — stalled the comeback, however.
Gateway closer and former T-Bolt Richard Barrett escaped a huge eighth-inning jam with a 10-9 lead intact before rain began to fall heavily before the the ninth inning at Standard Bank Stadium in Crestwood. The game was called, with the Grizzlies winning 10-9.
Windy City (25-42 entering the game) had scored twice in the seventh and four times in the eighth and had the tying run at third and the go-ahead run at second with one out when Gateway manager Phil Warren called upon Barrett, who struck out Ryan Tufts — who had gone 4-for-4 prior — and Davidson Peguero to keep the Grizzlies (40-28 entering) in front.
After Gateway added three insurance runs off Jason Kafka in the seventh, the T-Bolts got two back in the bottom of the inning.
After a Kyle Robinson single and Ryan McIntyre double, Tufts continued his huge day with a two-run double down the right-field line.
In the eighth, Garrett Carey, Spencer Castro, Ryan Soares and Mike Torres produced four straight singles, Soares driving in a run and Torres two. Another run scored on an error.
Windy City took the lead in the first. Soares led off with a single, Robinson walked and Tufts had an RBI single. Gateway, though, quickly responded with a five-run second.
The Grizzlies had six singles plus a walk against Windy City starter Travis Tingle in the inning. Josh Adams, Madison Beaird and TJ Bennett came through with RBI singles and Michael Johnson had a two-run base hit.
Gateway added single runs in the fourth and sixth to chase Tingle, who departed after six innings. He struck out a career-high 10, but allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits.
The T-Bolts scored once each in the fourth and sixth as well, but missed opportunities for big rallies each time.
In the fourth, Windy City had runners at second and third with no outs after Tufts singled and Peguero doubled, but could only score on a Carey RBI groundout as Gateway starter Tucker Jensen struck out Max White and got Castro to bounce out.
McIntyre singled, moved to third on another Tufts single and scored on a wild pitch in the sixth, but the T-Bolts couldn't get Tufts home after he reached second with no outs.

This year was my first year for growing a few mangle beets as fodder for the animals. Got the seed in the ground very, very late this fall. The seed seller simply did not send me my seed for well over a month. Next year I will get them planted with far better timing. The first frost took them out while they were still palm sized, but I learned from the growing experience. (Interesting as the turnip were not phased by the mild frost & they had over a foot of exposed green tops up in the air.)
Critters are supposed to like the beet tops, besides the actual beets. The chickens I guess still have enough yummies from free ranging they are not interested in the tops. The horses absolutely refused to consider the tops. They both like the actual beets though. If one has IR (insulin resistant) horses though, I would NOT recommend these beets. I would not recommend any fresh beet for an IR horse. Mangles are supposed to store well for the winter, but I did not plant/harvest enough to find out this year. My five gallon bucket of beets is nearly gone with careful daily rationing out of them. I certainly intend upon a much larger & better timed planting in 2013. I actually I hope for two crops. :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
We've got chickens. I grow lots of winter greens for them, but not mangels. I do grow regular culinary beets and have a nice crop of them in the ground right now. It is interesting that your mangel foliage froze. I think that mangel foliage is supposed to be a little frost-tolerant but not real freeze-tolerant. My beet and turnip foliage hasn't frozen, but the cabbage and broccoli foliage has shown some freeze damage, but only when the temperatures dropped down to 26 degrees. None of the other winter crops (kale, lettuce, collards, mustard, etc.) have shown freeze or frost damage yet. We've been in the mid- to upper 20s 6 or 8 times and in the low 30s several times and have had frost many times. I'm pleased with how well the cool-season crops in general are holding up in very erratic temperatures. Our temperatures are all over the place this fall and there has been very little rainfall. However, they're in very well-amended, rich and fertile soil and I do water them occasionally. |

THE owner of Hollinbay – an official Bradford Bulls partner – Robert Harder, will be taking part in this year's Great North Run to raise funds and awareness for Brain Tumour Research & Support (BTRS) across Yorkshire.
Robert has been in training for months to prepare himself for the event and completed the Jane Tomlinson Leeds 10k over the weekend, beating his current 'personal best' by over 10 minutes – recorded in the Pudsey Puma, another 10k event, earlier this year.
Mr Harder's wife, Jacqui, who is a massive Bulls fan, has recently been diagnosed with brain cancer.
By running the 13-plus miles in September, he is hoping to increase people's awareness about the disease and raise over £10,000 for charity.
"Brain tumour research is under-funded and the public, in general, is unaware of the magnitude of the problem," said Mr Harder.
"They have recently overtaken leukaemia as the most common malignancy and cause of death in children and are the second most common cause of neurological death, with strokes being the most common.
"A lack of funding and research into the treatment of aggressive malignant brain tumours means survival rates are no better than they were 40 years ago.
"Because of their location at the control centre for thought, emotion and physical function, brain tumours are often difficult to treat."
Approximately only one third of patients survive for five years following the diagnosis of a primary or malignant brain tumour.
Around 9,000 new cases of primary brain tumours are diagnosed in the UK each year.
Across Yorkshire and the Humber, it is estimated there are 1,000 patients diagnosed each year – and around 50 of those are children.
Mr Harder added: "Currently, brain tumours cannot be prevented because their cause is still unknown, there are over 120 different types of brain tumours, making effective treatment very complicated.
"All donations will be greatly appreciated and go a long way to providing crucial funding to a crucial service."
If you would like to get behind the Harder family – which has backed the Bulls since 2004 – then please CLICK HERE to donate today.
Not only is Jacqui a huge Bradford supporter, her son, Jack, makes up a part of the club's performance department.

Bryan Welch, publisher of MOTHER EARTH NEWS, sat down with farmer/philosopher Joel Salatin at the MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR in Seven Springs, Pa., to discuss farming, health and how physical labor helps us with living a life better connected to the land.
Joel Salatin is the author of multiple books, including Fields of Farmers, The Sheer Ecstasy of Being a Lunatic Farmer and Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal. He lives and works on his multi-generational farm, Polyface Farms, in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, where he and his family raise pastured meats and organic crops.
In this conversation we learn why at the end of the day it's much more satisfying to do physical labor rather than to "blink your existence into cyberspace" and the many ways we can be good stewards of the land.
Buy The Sheer Ecstacy of Being a Lunatic Farmer and Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal from the MOTHER EARTH NEWS Book store.

My partner Solking, he has done so much for me over the past three years and we have always been close. I never had someone get me to talk about my problems like he can. Its like no matter how much I am troubled inside, he gets me to talk and that shows how much he cares for me because he wants to be there for me. Its not just problems we talk about but its anything and everything. I feel so safe when I am around him and I don't feel like I need to hide anything from him, I can just be myself.
I had been through hell because someone close to me hurt me really bad during the relationship and Solking was always there for me to talk to about things. Although we have only been dating for over a year, his friendship made me love him before things progressed.

A gauge of U.S. company credit risk fell as European leaders debate a bond-buying program to address the region's fiscal crisis.
The Markit CDX North America Investment Grade Index, a credit-default swaps benchmark that investors use to hedge against losses on corporate debt or to speculate on creditworthiness, decreased 0.8 basis point to a mid-price of 101 basis points, the lowest in about a week, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.
European chiefs are meeting in Rome and Berlin today, two days before the European Central Bank holds its policy meeting, amid investor concern that further economic weakness will pressure companies' ability to repay debt obligations. ECB President Mario Draghi said the bank's primary mandate compels it to intervene in bond markets to wrest back control of interest rates and ensure the euro's survival.
"The consensus seems to think that Draghi will deliver details of a bond-buying program," said Adrian Miller, director of global markets strategy at GMP Securities LLC in New York. "If he does follow through with that, that will obviously be a positive and spreads should tighten further."
Draghi told lawmakers in a closed-door session at the European Parliament in Brussels yesterday that the bank has lost control of borrowing costs in the 17-nation monetary union. Bloomberg News obtained a recording of his comments, some of which were published by Italian news agency AGI yesterday. Draghi's comments come before the ECB's Governing Council is due to decide on his bond-buying proposal.
U.S. Manufacturing
The swaps index, which typically falls as investor confidence improves and rises as it deteriorates, has dropped from a two-week high of 102.9 on Aug. 30. U.S. bond markets were closed yesterday for the Labor Day public holiday.
Corporate issuers led by Deere & Co. and Honda Motor Co. offered the most dollar-denominated debt today in almost six months after yields on U.S. investment-grade bonds dropped to a record low.
Deere, the largest maker of agricultural equipment, and Tokyo-based Honda led borrowers selling or planning to sell at least $16.4 billion of bonds, the most since $26.9 billion on March 5, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Sales this year have averaged $5.7 billion per day while August issuance, the busiest on record for the month, averaged $5 billion.
Manufacturing in the U.S. contracted for a third month in August. The Institute for Supply Management's factory index fell to 49.6 last month, the lowest since July 2009, the Tempe, Arizona-based group said today. Economists in a Bloomberg survey projected an August reading of 50, which is the dividing line between expansion and contraction.
Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.

Keep Up With The Joneses With These Cocktail Trends: Part 2
As the grand finale to cocktail week here's Part 2 of our round-up of some of the nifty things we see going on in the world of hotel bars and bevvies. Don't forget to let us know what�s going on in your section of the world!
Beer is the new wine: Before some of you get stressed out, we�re not saying that wine�s going away, but we have noticed that beer is getting more attention these days. Some hotel bars are making beer their �thing,� some are making their own and some are getting it made for them.
Most of us tend to only hang out at airport hotels when we�re going to and from a place, but the Four Points by Sheraton LAX has a 100-beer beererie called Brewster�s that includes an ever-changing tap list of craft and microbrews. They have an on-staff Director of Brewer Relations who ensures the beer list is fresh and filled with rare brews, monthly beer appreciation nights, beer pairings such as Smoked Stone Porter with smoked salmon, beer turndown service that includes a beer-stocked minibar, and a recently-launched Hoppily Ever After package that lets the happy couple-to-be create their very own custom, brewed-to-taste beer for their big day�isn�t that just so romantic?

A Housekeeping Win (and Loss) at The Aria Las Vegas
This is what greeted us in the bathroom at Aria Las Vegas when we returned to the room in the afternoon--our toiletries, hairbrush and glass all lined up in perfect order. Gorgeous! It really is those little things that win us over.
This also made up for the fact that the next day, housekeeping busted in on us, while changing clothes, completely ignoring our calls of "no, please don't open the door." And as we were reaching desperately for the hotel robe, the housekeeper peeked her head around the door just to remind us that we had to check-out that day. It was only 9:15am and check-out was not until 11am. Alrighty then. At least our toiletries were easy to pack up.

Then, Now and Wow: Inside a One-Bedroom Suite at The Four Seasons Las Vegas
The Four Seasons Las Vegas located atop the Mandalay Bay Hotel (floors 35-39) finished its much-needed room renovations back in December and we're happy to report, they look incredible. And maybe more importantly, they look true to the website photos.
Here's how the rooms at the Four Seasons Las Vegas used to look. Eeek! You can see more from the rooms here, if you dare.
And here's a pic from the Four Seasons website of a renovated standard room.
And now, here's our pic of a one-bedroom suite with a strip view that we toured last week.
Hardly any difference. In fact, we think our picture looks better.
The renovations went for an Art Deco vibe but has a cool contemporary feel with eye-catching artwork and furniture. Nearly every piece in the rooms from the dressers to the mirrors, the floor lamps and even the wallpaper carry a detailed pattern or intricate finish. And of course, all the modern technological conveniences we've come to expect from hotel rooms are included, such as giant flat-screen TVs, TVs in the bathrooms mirrors and the all-important deskside plug panel where you can hook up your gadgets. For those of you concerned about the toiletries (and we know you are) the Four Seasons Las Vegas uses Ecro toiletries.

7 Reasons Why You May Never Leave Las Vegas, Thanks To The Mandarin Oriental
We first stayed at Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas in late 2009 when it first opened. Back then, we said the service was "some of the best we've ever experienced." And after a recent trip to the non-gaming hotel, the same holds true.
The service was impeccable (shout out to Henry!), especially for a town like Vegas where there are thousands upon thousands of hotel rooms and not every staffer can fake their excitement at having you stay at their hotel. But the Mandarin Oriental employees are willing to make this the best hotel stay in Vegas. And now we're not so sure we can stay anywhere else.
We could go on for a while about all the reasons to stay here but let's keep it to the reasons why you won't want to leave. And they are:
· Killer Strip Views: Being adjacent to CityCenter, the hotel offers some spectacular views of the "new" Vegas. But don't worry, we could still spy the Eiffel Tower from our room on the 11th floor. And of course, the hotel has blackout shades.
· The Amenities: The rooms at Mandarin Oriental are still filled up with tons of amenities like the Technology Box with various cables and wires (sorry, no iPhone 5 chargers) to the Shanghai Tang toiletries in the bathroom and the Dean & DeLuca minibar items. Don't forget about the flat-iron, the loofah sponge, the bath salts, the yoga mats, the high-tech bedside control panels and the bottles of water on the nightstand. (Those are included in the $25 resort fee. So is the internet.)
· The Pillows: Each bed at the Mandarin Oriental comes equipped with two big pillows that were nearly the length of our own bodies. We hugged that pillow each night we passed out came home and didn't let go until morning. As another married friend put it, "It's like sleeping with someone...without the guilt."

Bally's Las Vegas to (Finally) Get New Rooms in The Newly Named Jubilee Tower
Finally, there's something to be jubilant bout at Bally's Las Vegas.
The resort casino just announced they will renovate the rooms in the South Tower, which will now go by the name The Jubilee Tower, in honor of the long-running Jubilee show at Bally's. The renovations will span all 756 guestrooms and suites and they will be ready for guests in the fall. Here's what to expect:
The fresh, new Jubilee Tower accommodations will encompass 450 square feet of living space with chic lounge furniture yielding a stylistic and welcoming atmosphere. Juxtaposed geometric patterns will create a contemporary feel, set with neutral tones and striking pops of red visible throughout decorative accents and fashionable wall coverings. Dark wood furnishings, a work desk and a 37-inch flat screen television will complete the space. Each room will also come equipped with a refrigerator and redesigned bathrooms that will feature spacious glass-enclosed showers.
Hallelujah! We and our sibling site, VegasChatter, have long though the rooms at Bally's were in desperate need of an upgrade. Especially the suites. Fortunately, we won't have very long to wait to check out the new look. VegasChatter reports that they should be ready by November 1. If you're antsy, you can even book one of these rooms right now. Rates will start at $99 a night (not including the $18 resort fee. )

You Can Now Earn Hyatt Gold Passport Points at MGM Resorts in Vegas
Love Vegas? Love Hyatt Hotels? Then life is about to get much sweeter for you.
Hyatt has announced a new partnership with MGM Resorts in Las Vegas which will allow members of Hyatt's loyalty program, Hyatt Gold Passport, to earn and redeem points at the 12 MGM resorts in Las Vegas. (Currently, the only Hyatt in Vegas is a Hyatt Place off the Strip.)
But the deal also works both ways.
MGM's players club, M Life can also earn M Life Tier Credits when staying at the more than 450 Hyatt hotels and resorts around the world.
�Our new relationship with MGM Resorts International underscores Hyatt�s focus on listening to guests and developing innovative strategies that set us apart and add value to loyalty program membership,� said Jeff Zidell, senior vice president, Hyatt Gold Passport. �We know The Las Vegas Strip is an important destination for our members, and now they will have the chance to earn points and redeem award nights at 12 outstanding resorts from Bellagio to MGM Grand to Mandalay Bay.�
Indeed, considering how often we go to Vegas, it looks like we're going to have to dust off our Hyatt Gold Passport card now.
The loyalty program partnership will begin on June 20 and stays at participating MGM Resorts can be booked through Hyatt.com, MLife.com or through individual MGM property websites. Below we've listed all of the participating hotels, all with links to recent stories on our sister site, VegasChatter.com, who has up-to-the moment stories on each property.

The View From New York, New York in Las Vegas is Quite Scary
But it's only scary because we can catch the folks riding up one of the roller coaster peaks right before it dips back down. Luckily, these windows are noise-proof so we can't hear the people screaming. Other than that, we're quite pleased with the view especially since once we look down we can spy on the pool scene.
As for the rooms at New York, New York, we're staying in a "Park Avenue Room" but let's be clear here--it's a long ways from Park Avenue in the real NYC. The furniture is new as are the bedding, pillows, curtains and such but the bathroom is showing its age, the shower in particular. Also, we're bummed by the bland toiletries that are offered.
The rest of the hotel tower is also a little beat-down with old hallway rugs and room doors and not-so-clean elevators. Then again, we nabbed the room for $75 a night on Tingo.com so we can't complain too much (And no, we didn't get any money back from Tingo.)
However, the WiFi is rather slow. So slow, we can't even upload the rest of the room photos. The WiFi is part of the $18 plus tax room rate but still, this is unacceptable. We posted the screenshot over here where we are keeping tabs on hotel speeds but let's just say the grade begins with F.

Mandalay Bay's $5,000 Wagyu Special and More For National Burger Month
We've just discovered May is National Burger Month, which apparently is different than National Cheeseburger Day, go figure. However, we won't quibble because anything that gives us a chance to sink our teeth into a juicy beefy sandwich (or turkey, or veggie if our pants feel a bit tight) without remorse, is a-ok in our book.
Naturally we had to think what hotels are serving up stellar burgers for this special time and we've narrowed it down to these:
The $5,000 Fleur Burger by Hubert Keller, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas
Ok, yes, this completely ridiculous and we'll probably never taste this burger at Keller's Fleur restaurant in our lifetime, but it just sounds so completely decadent we can't help but dream about this masterpiece of wagyu beef, foie gras, and truffle served with a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus. Need something a bit more reasonable? Come for lunch and order the Wagyu burger with bacon, wild mushrooms, and gruyere, on a potato bun with frites for $22.
Double Brie & Fig Burger, Surf & Sand Resort,�Laguna Beach, CA
Anyone can order a plain-old cheeseburger and we often do, but this version at the hotel's Splashes restaurant seems so unusual, we'd definitely give it a try. It's an Angus patty topped with double cream brie, fig marmalade, caramelized onions and Dijon mustard. It just screams "rich", right? But thank goodness the price isn't, coming in at $19.

Fantasy Friday: The $175K Golf Special and Other Bachelor Party Options
We recently listed 5 Elopement Packages for those wanting a low-fuss wedding, but that doesn't mean one has to skip out on the time-honored tradition of The Bachelor Party. Of course, today is Fantasy Friday, so we've got to go a little over-the-top with the options, and boy have we found some. But don't worry, we've got some sensible back-up plans as well.
For Golf Lovers
Rosewood Mayakoba's $175,000 Ultimate Golf Experience is completely insane!During the week of November 11-17, 2013, the resort's El Camale�n Golf Club will host the OHL Classic, when the world�s top PGA Tour players will compete on the Greg Norman designed, 7,000-yard, 18-hole championship course.�To celebrate this high profile tournament (and golf-nuts everywhere) the resort created an extravagant package that's a bachelor's ultimate last-hurrah.The groom and two of his besties will get a private lesson with world famous golf instructor Jim McLean, a round of golf with legend Greg Norman at Playa Mujeres (you'll take a private helicopter to and fro) as well as receive three positions in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba Pro-Am.�Oh, and though this is already an all-suite resort, you'll stay in the 6,272 square-foot Presidential Lagoon Suite. Evenings mean sipping cocktails with the PGA Tour players (!), an invite to a private BBQ on the beach, and a tequila tasting of some of the country's best labels.�This package is only available for November 12-19, 2013. Book via Rosewood.com
Not In Your Price Range?
Alternative: Head to Ponte Vedra and The Sawgrass Marriott Resort & Spa where from May 6 to 12, they'll be the host hotel for annual THE PLAYERS Championship at the world-famous TPC Sawgrass. Your group of guys can bask in the Florida sun in the place where some of PGA's greats like Vijay Singh, Fred Couples, and Matt Kuchar have played. This spring you'll see who'll be battling it out for a beaucoup cash purse ($9 million!) on the 18-hole, Pete Dye-designed course. Tickets start at just $15! When you're not playing yourself, feel free to spend time in the ornate Club House (we recommend indulging in the ridiculous brunch spread) where you can see Tiger Woods' 2001 tournament locker, have a few post-play cocktails, and generally feel like royalty before settling into the domestic life. Packages start at $349 per night, which includes daily breakfast, a round on THE PLAYERS Course, and other perks. In this special season and you'll generally feel like royalty before settling into the domestic life. Book through Sawgrass Marriott's special page.

5 Wedding Elopement Packages For Low-Key Couples
The amazing view from The Buccaneer is just short of competing with a brides beauty
May usually kicks off "wedding season" and from our experience, betrothed couples usually fall into two camps--the calm and collected or the completely overwhelmed. We believe these 5 Elopement Packages are perfect for the anti-bride, and those looking for an elegant, but easy-to-manage affair.
These hotels' wedding offerings are downright affordable, quite important after the seriously extravagant ceremony packages we've seen lately. Whether it's a ring exchange for 2 in Vegas or a Caribbean island soiree for 20, we think you'll appreciate a simpler way to walk down the aisle.
Aria Resort and Casino, Las Vegas
Who says all Vegas weddings have to be kitschy and doomed to an Elvis-impersonator-slash-drive-through affair? Nope. It's getting classier by the moment, and as of April 23, there will be a new Wedding Chapel at the ARIA, one of the town's hottest hotels. Instead of some velvet-laden, dank "church", this place promises to be completely chic. Designed in conjunction with MGM Resorts International Design, expect a modern and sophisticated set-up with chrome and mahogany wood doors, and a color scheme centered around warm chocolate tones and creamy whites. Pops of floral color and metallics soften up the look and lend a romantic feel. Seating is available for up to 60 guests, and the front foyer will double as a space for small post-ceremony gatherings. There's a dedicated ladies� dressing lounge, and even a groom�s game lounge with a pool table and wet bar. It will feel more penthouse than house of the Lord, though, so keep that in mind. After all, it's still Vegas! On-site wedding coordinators are available to help the Big Day go smoothly, as well. The Wedding Chapel at ARIA will offer a variety of nuptial packages, ranging from $1,500 to $21,000. They all include photography, flowers, limo transportation to and from the Clark County Marriage Bureau and an officiant to perform the ceremony. Some packages even include accommodations at the hotel--honeymoon suite, anyone? And for those who can't attend your wedding, the Chapel can broadcast your ceremony online. For more info, visit arialasvegas.com/weddings or call the Chapel at (877) 371-2742.

Are These Wacky Hotel Events for Publicity or Profit?
Time for a little bit of Thursday fun as we check in on some unique events taking place at hotels around the world. We're used to seeing properties offer special events including concerts, conferences, and cocktails, but now and then we come across happenings that truly capture our attention.
Today, we've rounded up some gladiators, Scottish marksmen, and dogs without a home. Our gut tells us the dogs will fly off the shelves, but the three-day hunting spree? We're a wee bit skeptical.
Sometimes hotels create events and offers purely for publicity rather than profit, and we're curious to see how much interest these events gather.
Have no idea what we're on about? Read on for details!
Caledonian Macnab, The Caledonian: This classic Edinburgh hotel is offering a package that allows "competitors," aka you, to take part in a Scottish sporting contest they call the Caledonian Macnab. There are three stages to the contest that takes place over the course of three days amidst Scottish landscape. Participants are challenged to catch a salmon (day 1), shoot a brace of grouse (day 2), and "stalk a red" deer (day 3). Fishing, shooting, and stalking sounds like a mancation if we've ever heard one, but is the Caley really a bachelor party type of crash pad? We think not!

Hotels Get Summer Ready With Boozy Poolside Treats
It�s almost our favorite time of the year, where we get to laze by the pool, sipping on umbrella-topped cocktails. But really, that seems so 1990s, right? Today's bartenders are getting super creative with their libations. We�re already hearing about yummy mixes that have us begging Mother Nature to hurry up with summer already.
It looks like the West Coast has a jump on these tasty treats, so we'll just lust over the pics until they make the rounds Stateside.
From boozy shakes and sorbets, and other goodies, it looks like poolside fun has an alcoholic accent like never before.
Here are some we�re looking forward to trying:

Some might suggest that Tiger Woods' soul is beginning to creak. No offense to the militant arms of his fan base or anything, but it seems that the more intently Electronic Arts march him toward realism, the more he reminds us of a possessed doll with mo-cap data pulling the strings. Look into his eyes - there's nothing there.
Tiger isn't burning so brightly, but maybe that's because our retinas have become attuned to the mesmerizing explosion of color, character, and general loveliness of Hot Shots Golf's first foray onto the PS3 green. We don't care that it's not set in St. Andrews in the drizzle, our bags our packed.

Can pieces of 1-3/4" flagstone just be laid on top of decorative rock? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
No, is the short answer although it depends whether it is to be walked on or not. There is also the question of levelling that will be difficult and what you will put in between the flags. Explain a bit more and perhaps there is a less black and white answer. |

How big is the "decorative rock? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 30, 05 at 10:23
Generally, the recommendation is to lay the flags on a properly prepared base and then surround with smaller, decorative rocks. In AZ, there is no need to mortar a flgstone walkway, loose or dry laid is sufficient, but for the leveling/safety issues INK alludes to, you do not want to lay directly in top of decorative rock. |

13 New Year's Eve Scenes We Love
Features By Christopher Campbell on December 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThere are so many movies with New Year's Eve scenes that we might be able to make a list of 2,013 of them. Especially if we separate each scene from movies completely set on the night, such as New Year's Eve, 200 Cigarettes and the Assault on Precinct 13 remake. But we're going to keep it simple and exclude 2000 of those to share only 13 favorite moments of movie characters ringing in the new year. None of them are from those three aforementioned films, by the way. And since we've obviously left a bunch of scenes out, at some point before you go out to party or get situated on your couch ready to watch the ball drop, do tell us which New Year's Eve scenes you love. Oh, and merry new year!
This Week In DVD: Criterion, More Sherlock Holmes, TV Shows That Begin With 'E' and an Inexplicable Vincent D'Onofrio Joint
Features By Rob Hunter on June 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In DVD! Lots of titles to choose from today in all three categories including two brilliant Criterion releases, the second Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes film, a Dutch family film that stars a frequently naked lady from Game of Thrones, and a mixed bag of direct to DVD releases. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Accident Ho Kwok-fai (Louis Koo) is the brains behind a four-person team of assassins who specialize in making their hits look like accidents, but when one of their own is killed in an accident not of their making he suspects the team is being targeted. Johnnie To produced this dark little gem that teases a couple well choreographed action scenes but focuses instead on suspense and feelings of paranoia, loss and suspicion. It's a sharp thriller that surprises more than once throughout its short running time, and it marks director Soi Cheang as a director unafraid to go against the usual stylized Hong Kong action grain. Some of the choreographed accidents are incredibly precise and seem to rely on an awful amount of luck, but they are professionals after all. Shout! Factory's first foray into Asian cinema is a winner.
Criterion Goes All Out in June 2012 With Hitchcock, Mifune, Soderbergh, Chaplin and Boyle
Movie News By Neil Miller on March 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAnyone who follows the Criterion Collection will note that just about every month of releases is exciting for collectors of classic and important cinema. But some months are just a little bit more special than others. This coming June is going to be even more special. With titles from Alfred Hitchcock, Toshiro Mifune, Charlie Chaplin, Steven Soderbergh (on Spalding Gray) and Danny Boyle, Criterion may have on their hands one of the most exciting months of releases in years. You might as well start saving now. Seriously, just check out the line-up after the jump.

The first farms were purchased in this area, northwest of Waterloo, in the 1950s. The Weaverland meetinghouse was built in 1976 when the Old Order Mennonite community in the area was large enough to necessitate a meetinghouse. Earlier these families would have attended the Peel meetinghouse. The name of the meetinghouse comes from the family name "Weber"; since several Weber families belong to this congregation, the community chose the name "Weaverland."
In 1977, the congregation ordained Edwin Brubacher as Minister and Urias Martin as Deacon. In 2003, Levi Weber was ordained as Deacon. As is the practice in Old Order churches, they were ordained by lot from within the congregation. Ordained persons are not paid for their church service.
The Old Order settlement in the area continued to grow and in 1991, another meetinghouse, Klear View, was built further west. The Weaverland meetinghouse was expanded in 1996. In 2000, the Weaverland district was divided into East and West. The East district would meet at the meetinghouse one Sunday, and the West district the other.
In 2004, the number of families in the Weaverland district was around 65. An accurate count of 'members' is not always available because Old Order Mennonites think of themselves as members of the church at large and not just the immediate congregation. When people move from one geographical area to another, they automatically 'belong' to the congregation whose meetinghouse is closest to their home. No formal membership transfer takes place from the former location.

I just sent in my final piece for admissions, my essay. Now, I wait. I will find out in October if I'm accepted for spring start. I've waiting so long to get here. Anyone else playing the waiting... Read More
0Sep 23, '12 by pre-nurseshanI submitted application for BSN to Middle Tennessee State University on Thursday. We still have interviews late to mid October, and the secretary said that they try to have letters out in time for priority registration 11/12-11/21. She also told me, after she looked at my app, that as long as I didn't go into the interview and spit on them I should be in pretty good shape! <VBG>
0Sep 24, '12 by MiikiThe letters went out Thursday! And today girls were talking about their acceptance.
Of course I forgot to change my address with the school so... The letter will go to my old address first. Then the post office will forward it to me. I should get it tomorrow or Wednesday, but the fact that I could've known by now is driving me nuts. -
0Sep 24, '12 by WantToBeMidwifeI won't find out for another two weeks probably. I applied to Aquinas College in Nashville, TN. I'm SO nervous, i've been working towards this for 3 years! I'm going away next week so that will keep my mind off it for a week, when I get home my anxiety will be 100 times worse!!!
0Sep 24, '12 by WantToBeMidwifeI just called and asked about letters, and I was told early NOVEMBER!!!! Someone else told me they got there's last year October 9th, so I think they might have lied to me to keep everyone from calling the entire month of October lol! He did say i'm in a good position GPA wise, plus my Kaplan score was above the average, AND he said I have 8 of the 9 co-req's which apparently they like to see...which I had no idea I had that many done, yahoo! Trying not to get my hopes up, but hard not to!!!
2Sep 24, '12 by canutI feel like time is standing still! I haven't gotten the dreaded reject email, so I keep waiting for the snail mail to arrive. Of course, the mail is running late today, its usually here by now! I run to look out the window every time I hear a car drive by. Where the heck is the mailman!
2Sep 25, '12 by To the moonI was accepted/chosen for Scottsdale Spring 2013 ADN! If anyone else is attending this school this semester lets buddy up! It will be great to connect with people before it all starts!
Good luck to everyone in their selections! Prayers are helped me, so I will pray for all those of you that are accepting prayers for your selections!Kandy83 and lucki_star7 like this. -

Alistair Hargreaves
Alistair Hargreaves has been appointed as the new Saracens captain. The Springbok lock forward, 28, succeeds Steve Borthwick, who retired at the end of last season.
The former Sharks man has been with the Saracens since 2012, born and schooled in Durban he played for the Sharks from under-19 level.
He has been capped four times for the Springboks, the last of those coming in the 2011 Tri-Nations tournament.
Schalk Brits says forgotten Springbok lock Alistair Hargreaves has improved a lot as a player since joining English club Saracens.
Hargreaves, 28, played four Tests for the Boks in 2010 and 2011 but was always viewed as being too "lightweight" for the rigours of Test rugby.
Former DHL Western Province favourite Schalk Brits will return to Newlands along with rising French-based star, Rory Kockott, as 2 of 6 South Africans, four of whom have played test rugby, as part of the Samsung-sponsored World XV squad for their match against Heyneke Meyer's Springboks at DHL Newlands on 7 June.
All 6 of these South Africans play their rugby abroad and have been released by their clubs for this match.
Former Springbok and Sharks lock Alistair Hargreaves has agreed to join Saracens from the start of the 2012/13 Aviva Premiership Rugby season.
The 3rd and Article in the set discussing the Sharks Super Rugby players for 2012.
In this Article we look at the contenders for LOCKS in the Sharks 2012 Super Rugby group, and what their worth will be in Super Rugby terms.

Canada continued their winning ways at the World Hockey Championship on Thursday as they defeated Denmark 6-1. The win temporarily moved Canada back to first place in Group A pending Sweden's result against France.
Nazem Kadri had two assists on the night along with four shots, +2 rating in 14:30 of ice-time. Kadri has recorded three assists in the first four games of the tournament as he plays on a line with Cody Hodgson and Troy Brouwer.
Rookie defenceman Morgan Rielly continues to be Canada's seventh defenceman and playing on the powerplay. Rielly played just under seven minutes and picked up an assist on Canada's fifth goal. James Reimer was the back up to former Leaf teammate Ben Scrivens who made 29 saves in the win.
Canada is back in action on Friday morning as they face Italy (9:45am TSN).
The day wasn't so good for Jake Gardiner and Team USA as they were upset 6-5 by Latvia. Gardiner had one assist in 20:30 of action which placed him sixth on the team and third amongst defenceman. He has two points (one goal, one assist) while averaging 16:55 ice-time per game. The USA also plays on Friday at 9:45 am on TSN 2 when they take on Kazakhstan.

BOSTON A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press that the Boston Red Sox have agreed with reliever Edward Mujica on a two-year deal.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal was pending a physical and had not been announced. The 29-year-old Mujica gives the Red Sox some protection if soon-to-be 39-year-old closer Koji Uehara cannot repeat his 2013 performance next season.
Mujica was 2-1 with 37 saves and a 2.78 ERA for the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals last season. He made two appearances in the playoffs, giving up one run in two innings. He did not appear in the World Series against the Red Sox.
In an eight-year career, the right-handed Venezuelan has a 19-19 record with 41 saves and a 3.75 ERA.
Twins announce
$24M deal with
Phil Hughes
MINNEAPOLIS The Minnesota Twins have signed former Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes to a $24 million, three-year contract.
The Twins reached agreement with Hughes last week and finished it on Thursday after the 27-year-old passed his physical. Hughes went 4-14 with a 5.19 ERA for the Yankees last season.
The Twins are hoping that a move out of hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium to spacious Target Field will help Hughes rediscover the promise he showed earlier in his career. Hughes was a first-round draft pick and an All-Star in 2010.
Twins starters had the worst ERA in baseball last season, so GM Terry Ryan has been aggressive in trying to upgrade the staff.
The Twins signed right-hander Ricky Nolasco to a $49 million, four-year contract Tuesday.MORE IN Wire SportsPHOENIX Marshawn Lynch changed the script and fired back at his critics.

text: Pre-convention trainings on photo documentation, effective writing and facilitationNew Delhi, 23 June 2008: Participatory methodologies and inter-personal communication are credited the world over as powerful processes to engage with youth. "The message is in the medium" is an oft-used phrase to describe this methodology. Youth become partners and leaders in such a process, and are expected to 'learn by doing' rather than through a 'classroom' approach. Through various activities young participants have an opportunity to learn, to communicate, and be effective team players and decision makers. Several such creative processes are the medium of photography, documentation, and the art of effective speaking and communication. Keeping the above in mind, series of photo documentation workshops as the first phase of the pre- convention trainings for peer educators were organized with select peer educators from the districts of Surat, Bangalore Urban and Purulia. These workshops were organized in the respective districts from 06 - 20 May 2008. Equal numbers of male and female peers of about 10 from each district participated in the workshops. Intensive four day course work included understanding the camera, staying focused on the issue to be captured, the in's and out's of indoor/outdoor shoots, editing images, building stories through these images and conveying key messages in the illustrative form. These workshops provided an opportunity for the peers to document some of their work and tell their stories through photographs. The aim was to capture at least nine photo case stories across the three districts and these were showcased during the national convention held at the Ecumenical Christian Centre, Bangalore from 28-30 May 2008. (Click here for a glimpse of the case stories) The peers completed case studies in two broad areas: 1. Highlighting the high risk and vulnerable areas/groups to HIV/AIDS in their district. "Mentoring is to support and encourage people to manage their own learning in order that they may maximize their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be." With this objective in mind, the second phase of the pre-convention training was held on 26-27 May 2008 for the above peer educators from Bangalore Urban (Karnataka), Purulia (West Bengal) and Surat (Gujarat) districts. The trainings in the areas of photography, reporting and facilitation were conducted by senior skilled resource persons, who also played the mentoring role for these peer educators guiding them through the convention. The Youth teams photographed, documented and reported on different activities, plenary sessions, skills workshops and events over the three days of the convention and contributed towards the production of a Convention Newsletter and led the 'Report back' session of the convention. The criteria for selection of the peer educators was an interest in writing, photography and reporting The selection of the three districts was done keeping in mind the urban and rural distribution. A pre skills assessment of the 35 peer educators was conducted before allocating them into the three groups. Intensive training was given to the three groups on the following areas: The youth reporters discussed and finalized a format for their reporting: In addition to session reports, some reporters were also asked to interview dignitaries who would attend and speak at the Convention, as well as peers. Others were asked to write something on behind-the-scene activities at the convention – how it was set up, how the space was designed and decorated, and what were the various experiences. A thorough run through of the agenda and briefing on the logistics was given on all three focus areas– who would do what, who were the teams for each session of the agenda, how to coordinate between the teams and how the teams would prepare the report-back session. The reporters published a newsletter "Yuva Jan Patrika" with their stories, in their own language which included photographs captured by them. On the third day at the closing session, in the presence of Additional Secretary and Director General of the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) Ms. K Sujatha Rao, the teams reported on the convention, session wise, and voiced their experiences, challenges and opportunities of being part of the team with an additional role at the convention. General feedback from the groups summarized the workshops to be helpful in enhancing their skills in communicating effectively for HIV & AIDS. Simple participatory and interactive games and exercises have enabled them to be more effective and sensitive in their work with HIV and AIDS and facilitated its translation into work at field level. For more information, please contact Dr. Sanjana Bhardwaj at email@example.com or Ms. Debbie Paul at firstname.lastname@example.com For more such stories, please subscribe to our RSS Feed. Newsletter of the National Convention of Peer Educators Partcipants speak.... "I would now be the official photographer for my NGO, can you tell me if there is a scheme by the government under which I can buy a camera" - Jignesh, Surat "I knew I could speak and share my experiences, but I did not know I had the confidence to speak in front of a big gathering of so many people and that too in another language, Tamil, with confidence and no fear. I learnt in the training how to make eye contact, how to use my body to communicate and right and wrong expressions. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to learn" - Shivaranjini, Presenter, Peer Educator, Karnataka. "I worked on the newspaper as a reporter and I attended the community newsletter workshop and feel that it has been an important way to share information and reach out to other peers" – Fabiha, Reporter, Peer Educator, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh "I didn't realize bringing out a newspaper is such hard work, and that reporters work so hard! At first it was a struggle to write down the notes of sessions, but then with the help of friends and interviewing other peers it became interesting and not so difficult" - Ganga, Reporter, Peer Educator, Karnataka "I shall now go back to my village and be the official village photographer and I will photograph all the work that I and my friends do and I will work with other peer educators and we will bring out a simple monthly newsletter of our field work". - Radheshyam Mahato, Photographer, Peer Educator, Purulia district, West Bengal. |

Hello, I recently installed the network license server on FlexLM. At the 4 machines with Windows 7 x64 I successfully activated, but with 2 computers I have a problem. I get an error 15.10.10061. I've already turned off the firewall, turn off IPv6 but that does not help. I have 6 pieces of license. Please help. thank you
Hi BYTK,
Assuming the license manager is up and running properly, please perform a Telnet session from client to the license server port 2080 to determine client-to-server connectivity is good.
- Go to command prompt (eg. C:\)
- Type ìtelnet servername 2080î (without quotes and servername is the License Server name)
- Hit <Enter>
- If you get a blank screen, it means the connection to License Server is good
- But if you encounter error messages, it means the connection to License Server Port 2080 is blocked, probably by Firewall. Please contact IT officers to open and allow connection to Port 2080.
If Port connection is good, please do the following.
A) Remove the following:
1. The licpath.lic file typically residing in the product folder (eg. C:\Pragram Files\AutoCAD 2013).
2. The Registry Key string "ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE" from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager"
B) Add or Ensure the License Server Name in System Environment Variable. Refer to link below.
- http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS1065268
- http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS71384
Re-start product and see if issue persisted.
Thank you.
This is most commonly an IPv6 issue. You can verify with PING on the server hostname. For more information about Network License Manager connectivity issues and IPv6, please see my discussion post here:
You can test the ports quicker with Internet Explorer.
You should get a jargon response. If you get an error, then the ports are blocked.

Form field positioning
Hi everyone,
I'm new to designing forms and I need help with something that sounds pretty simple, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.
This is the form I'm using: My Form
I want the field for Last Name to be next to the First name field, not under it. Same with Phone Number and E-mail and probably the last two drop down menus.
Like this:
First Name (space) Last Name
text box (space) text box
Phone Number (space) Email
text box (space) text box
Chardonnay Reserve (space) Pinot Noir
drop down menu (space) drop down menu
(they would be aligned better, but maybe you can still see what I'm talking about)
This form also has a style sheet which I believe may need adjusting to make this work:
My CSS
Any help is very much appreciated! Thank you!!
