There are so many interesting ways in which you can make your Whitsunday Islands vacation a lot more enjoyable. One of those that is really popular at the moment is adding scuba diving to the mix. There are many different dive sites that are available and tourists of all skill levels can be accommodated. All that is actually needed is enrolling in a scuba diving Whitsunday Islands school. You can choose out of many different courses so that you can learn diving or improve the skills that you have at the moment. You obviously already know the fact that for some diving sites you will need to be certified and there are some locations that are more dangerous than others. With this in mind, make sure that you choose something that is appropriate.
One thing that you may not be aware of is that various scuba diving Whitsunday Islands travel packages will also include lessons for those that need them, free of charge. These are actually the packages that you have to consider at the end of the day since they are perfect for all people that will be on the trip. Those that do not know anything about diving will be taught from scratch and the individuals that already know some things will be able to gain more knowledge from professional, PADI certified instructors. It is something that you have to always take into account.
If you need to learn more advanced diving techniques, you have to be sure that you arrange this in advance since medium to advanced levels are not going to be included in the travel packages that are regularly offered for tourists. Make sure that you talk with the travel agent so that you can be told exactly what will be offered. In most cases the answers will help you to make a much better choice.

As Ellis County moves forward with efforts to put a sales tax measure before voters in 2013, the support of Hays city commissioners in seeing the county receive the entirety of those funds will be discussed at Thursday night's Hays City Commission meeting.
The meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. at city hall.
The 0.5-percent sales tax sought by Ellis County would be used to build a joint EMS/Rural Fire facility and renovate the Ellis County courthouse and jail, as well as the Commerce Bank building and the property at 601 Main for an estimated $14.5 million. The tax would sunset when payment for the facilities is completed.
Legislation requires the county to share sales tax proceeds with the cities within the county, and would give the county an estimated 42 percent of the total revenue. To reap 100 percent of the sales tax revenues, the county must have a bill passed through the Legislature.
"If we can get a dedicated tax, we can pay it off in less than half the time that it would have with the current law," County Administrator Greg Sund told city commissioners at last week's work session as he sought a letter of support to amend sales tax legislation.
Although he said it's important for the city and county to look for ways to cooperate, Commissioner Kent Steward showed some hesitancy about supporting the county's request.
"Basically, I want to be supportive of these two projects," Steward said. "I would feel easier if you ... redrafted your letter a little bit."
"What you said just now is that the reason for doing this extraordinary way of handling the sales tax receipts is because you would get (the building projects) paid off twice as fast.
"Well, that would always be true. So is it the policy of the county commission moving forward to, anytime you want to do a sales tax for a project, that you should bypass the basic state law and just always get all the proceeds?"
"I think that would always be an option," Sund replied. "I think we need to look at the individual merits of every project we look at, and these are fairly big.
"They are not projects that the county's going to do time and time again."
Other agenda items include:
* Restriping of 27th Street between Plum and Hall to a three-lane configuration.
* Consideration of the Bike Hays Master Plan and a resolution to apply for transportation enhancement program funds.
* Discussion of entering into an agreement with Darrell Dreher for the construction of sanitary sewer and street improvements to serve the lots along Wheatland Avenue.
* Consideration of authorizing an agreement with Kaw Valley Engineering for engineering services for the design of waterline upgrades and replacements.

And, just because it's called a "business" expo, don't let the name fool you. There's much fun to be had at the event, said Parks.
"Some businesses will do a giveaway for the day ... others like WIRY do giveaways all day long," said Parks. "They're making it fun for people. They realize the expo is a good place to share information, but it's also a good place to just to make contact with people and to have a good time."
Parks recommends, if attending the show, to set aside at least a couple hours, if possible.
"It does take a while to get through the whole show," said Parks. "There's lots to see and lots to do and many, many people to talk to."
The expo will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with admission $3 per person. An after-party will be held at the Naked Turtle on Dock Street.
Free coffee will be offered all day at the expo, courtesy of La Quinta Inn and Suites and Glens Falls National Bank.
The event is sponsored by TwinState Voice.Data.Video Inc., WPTZ Newschannel 5, AT&T, Curtis Lumber, Buck Supply and Distribution, and Denton Publications.
There are currently a few booths available, measuring 8 ft. by 10 ft., at a cost of $395 for chamber members and $495 for nonmembers.
"When the booths are gone, they're gone, so I would say call as soon as you can if you're interested," said Parks.
For more information or to check availability for booths, contact Parks at 563-1000.

Saturday morning I had one of the coolest experiences of my life: I hung out with First Lady Michelle Obama. Ok, it was through a Google hangout, but still! I got to sit next to Girl Up Champion Victoria Justice and was also joined by Breakthrough Houston at St. John's School in Houston, TX. As if that wasn't enough, I also got to hang out with John Legend and students from South Africa, Kansas City, New York City, and Los Angeles. Nerves were high as everyone perched on the edges of their seats anticipating the start of this conversation.
Mrs. Obama wanted to focus on education and started the conversation by expressing her concern for Nelson Mandela's health and her appreciation for how he has impacted her life, and quoted his important words, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can change the world."
When Victoria Justice asked what the First Lady tells her daughters about education, Mrs. Obama responded with, "I want them to be learners, not to focus on the grades but to focus on filling their brains with knowledge." I had a new lesson to take away: despite what teachers or parents may say, learning is more important than just a good grade.
I was also inspired by the incredible students who joined the conversation from around the world. Like some of the stories I have heard from the girls Girl Up programs benefit, one student from South Africa originally attended a poorly run school but was lucky enough to be sponsored to go to a better school. As a result, he wants to become a teacher. Hearing from students who have such large dreams – a boy from L.A. wants to be a movie producer! – helped me realize that the youth is powerful and will use education to change the world.
I will never forget the amazing opportunity to discuss an issue I'm so passionate about with the First Lady, Victoria Justice, John Legend, and youth from around the world!

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly TyingRod BuildingFirst published October 14th 2002 - More than 12 years ago
More about: Advanced | Bamboo | Reference | Rod Building | Comment Building Bamboo Fly Rods A multi-part series by Harry Boyd Part 3 - Staggering Nodes and Rough Planing In our last installment, we focused on selecting, preparing, and splitting the culm of bamboo. As we begin to mold the raw bamboo into something that approaches the shape and form of a fly rod, the real fun begins. We will select the bamboo strips for our rod, stagger the nodes, and cut each strip to length. Then we will straighten and flatten each strip at the nodes and plane it into an equilateral triangle.
Selecting your best strips of bamboo We concluded our last segment after having split the culm of bamboo into 12-15 pieces for tip sections, and 7-8 pieces for butt sections. Our next task is to choose the very best pieces from among those we have split to include in our rod. When I build a rod, I always arrange the pieces of the finished rod in the same orientation in which they grew in the culm of bamboo. Since this is your first rod, I would encourage you to choose the six best pieces you have for your butt section. Set aside any pieces which have obvious discolorations. Repeatedly flex each strip to make certain there are no weak spots. The bamboo should bend consistently from end to end, with no obvious soft spots. Choose the six best pieces you split out for butt sections, and bundle them together. Don't discard the others!! You may need them as back-ups if mistakes are made later. (As an aside, in reality I always choose seven pieces per section, just in case) Do the same examinations and tests on the pieces you split out for tips. Choose two groups of six and set them aside.
Staggering Nodes Everett Garrison called nodes "Job's gift to rod makers." Nodes are both the weakest and most stubborn parts of Tonkin cane. At each node, the straight grained bamboo crosses over itself and interlocks in highly irregular patterns. Split strips are often crooked as snakes at the nodes. Good rods never have nodes adjacent to each other in finished sections, therefore we stagger the nodes up and down the rod. Rod makers differ in their node patterns. Leonard and Granger always used a 3x3 node spacing, where each node is separated from another by its adjacent strip of clear bamboo. Payne and Garrison used spiral staggering patterns, where no two nodes are at exactly the same height in a finished rod section. I've settled on a 2x2x2 sequence of node spacing where each node is adjacent to two clear strips of bamboo. "Two by two" spacing places each node opposite another on the opposing flat, and separated by two node-less sections of clear bamboo. Having the nodes in opposition enables them to counteract each other, resulting in less straightening after the section is glued. To begin staggering the nodes in a 2x2x2 pattern, place a tape measure open to 56" on your work bench. Number each butt strip of bamboo from 1-6, and align the butt end of each strip of bamboo with the end of your tape measure. Without moving strip #1, move strip #2 up two inches. Move strip #3 up four inches. Don't move strip #4! Move strip #5 up two inches, and #6 four inches. At this point you should have 49 inches of bamboo where all six strips are between the staggered end sections. Make sure you have at least 49" before you start cutting. Remember the carpenter's adage, "Measure twice, cut once." Of course, your numbers will be different if you have chosen to build something other than a 7' 6" two-piece rod. Place a straight edge across the lowest point where it will touch all six pieces of bamboo, and mark pieces 1, 2, 4, and 5. This mark will designate the butt end of each piece in this rod section. You will not cut the butt end of strips 3 and 6. Using a fine-toothed hacksaw, Coping saw, or X-acto saw, cut each of the four pieces (1, 2, 4, 5). Begin your cut on the enamel side to prevent tearing out the power fibers. Immediately mark the ends of all six strips with a black permanent marker. (I use red for tips and black for butts.) Marking the ends prevents you from getting things turned around later and wondering which end is which. Cut the tip ends of strips 2, 3, 5, and 6 – but don't mark the tip ends. You may need to re-number the strips if your trimming removed the original markings. Repeat the staggering and numbering process for each bundle of tip strips, and we will be ready to start straightening and flattening nodes.
Straightening and Flattening Nodes When subjected to heat, bamboo becomes pliable, almost plastic, allowing us to bend it to whatever shape we choose. When removed from the heat, the bamboo strip retains the shape to which it was bent. Doubtlessly you have noticed how crooked your strips are; so crooked they will never lie flat in a planing form. Each node probably has a distinct hump on the enamel side. Before we can begin planing, these humps and crooks at the nodes must be minimized. Later, heat treating will do away with the long sweeps and crooks that sometimes occur between nodes. Before we begin the process of flattening and straightening nodes, the remains of the nodal dams on the pith side of the bamboo need to be planed away. Place each strip on your bench – enamel side down. Using a block plane (described later) and short strokes, smooth the jagged remains of the interior nodal dams until you are removing thin shavings 2 - 3 inches long. Since we'll be squeezing the enamel side of each node in a vise, we must have a flat surface to work against. Traditionally rod makers filed away all humps at the nodes and straightened the twists and turns over the flame of an alcohol lamp. Although the task can be accomplished that way, excessive filing, heating and bending can gouge and scorch the bamboo at the already weak nodes. Though the idea isn't original with me, I've found a way to flatten the humps and straighten the nodes all in one quick and easy step. As with every single step of making rods, let me urge you to practice on scrap strips before you attempt this on your first rod. My node treatment process begins with what some rod makers consider heresy, soaking the strips in water. I soak all the strips for a rod in a water filled PVC pipe overnight before I begin to treat the nodes. Usually I add a dash of household bleach to the water to retard the growth of any mold and fungus in the mixture. A rod maker friend of mine who has a much more understanding wife than me soaks his strips overnight in their bath tub! Use your creativity to find a way to soak the strips, but don't destroy your marriage in the process. Water-soaked bamboo is much less prone to charring, is heated to the point of pliability much more quickly, and works easily. The water largely evaporates within an hour of removing the strips from their bath. Heat treating the rough strips drives away any excess moisture and adds liveliness to the bamboo. Each node on each strip is heated for several seconds over an electric heat gun. When heated to the point of pliability, the node is pressed in a vise on both the enamel side and the split sides. When you shop for a heat gun for rod making use, look for a wide diffuser, often called a fish-tail nozzle. I could not find one for my heat gun, so I adapted one designed for heating plastic shrink tubing. The wide diffuser concentrates the heat on the area surrounding the node. I use a cheap 3" drill press vise to flatten and straighten each node. The key feature you need in your vise is smooth, flat jaws. Many machinists vises have scored or serrated jaws which will ruin a strip of bamboo. Should you choose to use a vise you already own, you must file the jaws smooth. Let's get specific. Soak the bamboo for several hours. To keep the strips submerged, cap the PVC pipe loosely. Set up all the necessary tools for straightening and flattening nodes before you begin. Place the fish tail nozzle on your heat gun. Clear the area around your vise. Working at a "controlled hurry" requires getting everything ready before we begin. Remove one strip from the soaking bath. Choose a node to work on first, and flex it in several directions. Make mental notes of the amount of force required to bend the strip. While heating the node, constantly rotate the strip in your fingers so that heat is applied from each side. Flex the strip every few seconds, diligently searching for the precise moment when the bamboo begins to become pliable. There is a definite change in the feel. When you experience that change in feel, you'll know it. I use a Wagner heat gun with a 3" fish tail nozzle. I heat the strips on the highest setting while holding them above the nozzle about an inch. With my particular set-up I find that soaked strips require 20 - 30 seconds of heating before they are ready to work. Some very light charring of the pith may occur but the charred portion will soon be planed away. At the very instant the bamboo becomes workable, place the node in the vise with the enamel side against one jaw. Squeeze the bamboo between the jaws until you see the nodal hump flatten squarely against that jaw, and count out five seconds. Release the vise and quickly reorient the bamboo strip so that the enamel side is up. Squeeze the vise jaws again, this time removing any crooks and bends at the nodes. Leave the first strip in the vise while heating another node on another strip. The vise serves as a heat sink and keeps the strip straight and flat while it cools. Remove the first strip from the vise as soon as the second strip becomes pliable, and squeeze first the nodal hump then the crooks and bends from the second strip. Returning to the first strip, begin the process again with another node. I work through the process two strips at a time. When all the nodes on both strips have been straightened and flattened, examine them closely. If some of the nodes need a little more work return them to the heat and the vise before moving to the next strips. Once all the strips have been worked you are ready to actually start planing bamboo.
Rough Planing Initial planing the strips in a straight 60* form gives us a product which begins to look like a fishing rod. Using a block plane, we slice the strips into long, un-tapered equilateral triangles. Six triangular strips form the familiar hexagon of a bamboo rod. Initial planing is accomplished with the assistance of your first set of planing forms. Later, a second set of forms gives you the compound taper of a good fly rod. Rough, or initial forms need not be precision tools. I have two sets, one made on a table saw and one on a router. I'll describe those made on a router so you can make your own initial forms. Perhaps you have a friend with a woodworking shop who can help you out. Begin with a straight grained piece of hardwood about 4 feet long. Be sure two sides are perfectly flat by running them through a surface planer. Set a router table to make a lengthwise cut through the center of the board. Use a 60* "V" bit, commonly used in making wooden signs, to rout a groove 1/4" deep. Clean up any rough spots in the groove with a triangular file, and you are finished. Sounds simple? Well, it really is. The block plane epitomizes the craft of rod making. Stanley planes have set the standard for decades. Only one plane is really necessary for making rods, a Stanley 9.5. The modern version of the Stanley 9.5, known as the G12-020, is available through major home centers from about $30 US. Although I prefer the older model for its ease in adjusting the blade depth, the newer version works quite well. The adjustable throat of the Stanley plane helps control the tendency of the bamboo to tear rather than slice. Several other tool makers produce similar planes, all modeled after the original Stanley. Good rod making books discuss ways to get your plane in proper working order. Several good web articles are also available. Email me (email@example.com) and I will point you in the right direction. Briefly, you must tune your plane by truing and flattening its sole. Most rod makers replace the original Stanley blade with one which is more readily honed to a razor sharp, long lasting edge. Learning to quickly and consistently hone your plane iron to a keen edge is the single most demanding task in rod making. Although I'm only touching on this subject here, overstating the importance of getting your plane in perfect shape, and your irons much sharper than your razor is impossible. You simply must work on this skill until you perfect it. No shortcuts. I use a powered leather strop and 3-5 micron diamond paste to achieve the final mirror edge on my plane irons. Other rod makers use Japanese water stones, diamond stones, or even ceramic stones with outstanding results. Some even use progressively finer grits of sandpaper glued to plate glass. Your sharpening goal is a consistent mirror edge which cannot be seen under 30x magnification. Bamboo contains silica (sand) and dulls blades quickly. In final planing, you will likely find yourself sharpening your plane after every single strip. No matter which sharpening method you choose, stay with it until you learn it well. You will be spending quite a bit of time keeping things sharp. When your plane is sharp and ready to go, make some practice runs on scrap bamboo. Advance the blade until you are taking shavings about .004"-.006" thick as measured with a dial caliper. Copy machine paper is .002" thick, just for reference. Adjust the throat of the plane so that the opening is .010" or less to prevent tear-out at nodes and other irregular grain. To begin transforming the strips into triangles, place the enamel side of one strip against the near side of the groove in your initial planing form. Assuming you are right handed, all your planing will be from right to left. Place the butt end (colored with a marker) to your right. Remember, we never plane on the enamel side, only on the pith sides. Begin by holding the strip ahead of the plane with your left hand. Start your cut, and cross the left hand under the right as soon as possible. Most of your planing should be done while holding the bamboo behind the plane. Strive to keep the enamel side of the bamboo flush against the groove. At first, you will only remove tiny slivers of bamboo. Make 6 passes the length of the strip. The sixth pass will yield more results than the first. After six passes, flip the strip in the form. Nestle the enamel side against the far side of the groove. Make six more passes, again planing from right to left, from butt end to tip end. As the plane begins to cut more on each pass, you will notice a triangular shape beginning to emerge. After first making six passes on each side, switch to four passes per side, then two passes per side. Soon you should see a definite triangle beginning to form. At this point you have made 12 passes of the plane over each side of the bamboo. Now check the angles of your strip to be sure you are getting consistent equilateral (60*) triangles. A machinist's screw gauge used in cutting threads on a lathe is the tool of choice. You can purchase a Starrett screw gauge for a bout $6-7 US at any industrial tool supply shop. Show them the picture of the one on this page and they will know what you want. Each notch cut in the Screw gauge is a precise 60 degree angle. Placing the strip into the angles of the gauge will verify that you are achieving your goal. If one of more of the angles is incorrect, now is the time to correct it. To correct your triangles, you skew the sole of your plane to one side to over-correct one side and under-correct the other. Experimenting now, learning to correct your angles, will save you many heartaches later. Sometimes I draw a picture to help me visualize which way the sole of the plane must be tilted while cutting to correct the triangles. As you cut more and more bamboo from each side, the strip becomes easier to hold in the form. Don't worry about long sweeps and curves between nodes, but if the bamboo is still humped or crooked at the nodes, go back to the heat gun and vise. When the angled cuts you are making reach the enameled side of the bamboo, it's time to move on to the next strip. When you have eighteen strips, all in un-tapered equilateral triangles, approximately 1/4" in height from the base of the triangle to the apex, it's time to start thinking about heat-treating. Our next installment takes us into the dark science of heat treating your bamboo strips.

Toro Rossos Vitantanio Liuzzi has always been among the most colourful drivers on the grid, but over the past season he has also developed into one of the most consistent and reliable. With both his style and his driving skill ingratiating him to Red Bulls management, it looks like a bright future for the young Italian. We caught up with him in Barcelona this week
Q: Five weeks after you got out of the car in Brazil, how keen were you to get back in?
VL: I could not wait to be back, even if its just for testing. Im always hungry for racing and I like the adrenalin that driving a Formula One car gives me every time. I always want to improve and every kilometre on the track is a challenge with myself - and I love challenges.
Q: Watching you in the paddock over the past season you always gave the impression that Formula One racing is funky and sexy. Now youre heading into your second year, will we see a more worldly-wise Tonio Liuzzi?
VL: I am what I am independently from Formula One. What you see in the paddock is Tonio in civil clothes, who is just a young guy living, being himself in a Formula One environment. Funky and sexy? I cant tell you. But when I wear my race overall, thats the moment in which the committed driver comes out and Im fully focused on my job. Its so nice when a passion becomes a job. You will always see the same Tonio in the paddock but I hope you will also see an always more expert driver on track.
Q: There has been big internal competition for the cockpits at the two Red Bull teams. How self-centred do you have to be to secure your position?
VL: I dont think theres ever been competition for cockpits in Toro Rosso. Scott (Speed) and I have started and finished the first season together. Dont take your seat for granted... you have to never make this mistake! I dont think you have to be egoist because theres no way to secure your position. You just have to give out your best, for yourself and for the team you represent, for all the people that work with you and around you and for all the fans and spectators that love this amazing sport. This way youve done your job...what can you do more?
Q: You have tried the Bridgestone Potenza tyres now for the first time, obviously a very different type of tyre to those used last season - what were your first impressions?
VL: I have had now only two days in this car (the 2006-spec STR1) with the new Bridgestone tyres and its not enough obviously. They are really different and we are still struggling to find the right balance to achieve the best result from the actual package. We have just started to understand how the Bridgestone Potenza tyres affect the car and we still have got a lot of work to do. We will also attend the next two sessions in Jerez and maybe we will have a clearer idea then. The potential is undeniable and its up to us to make them work as they can do.
Q: What effect does that have on your style of driving?
VL: For sure your driving has to be very precise and clean and if distractions are always not permitted, now this is true even more. I have to learn optimizing a car which has got different reactions to the ones I was used to before.
Q: And what about the car set-up? The adjustment process seems to be a difficult one for Toro Rosso?
VL: If you are referring to our performance here in Barcelona, the aim for this test, and the next to come, is not to find the best lap time. We are working to understand the behaviour of the old car in the actual different conditions, acquiring all the data which can be useful to set-up next years car. Our task here is merely technical, to find a good starting point for the new STR2 for next season.
Q: Last season you paid your dues by scoring Toro Rossos only point. What are your personal goals for 2007?
VL: I cant deny that Im very happy having given the first point to the team. It was great to see all the people in the team repaid, even if not in the same measure, for all their work and effort. We knew 2006 could not be easy and also 2007 will be quite tough, but the expectations are higher for next season. My personal goals? First of all I want to make good use of the experience I gained in 2006 and harvest the fruits of my labour. I want to give back what the team has given me this past season together. Scoring a point has to become something less special and rare, a sort of pleasant habit. Im really confident we can score consistent points - and have a great season!
Q: Its goodbye Cosworth and hello Ferrari for Toro Rosso in 2007. When will the Ferrari-powered car hit the track for the first time - and what expectations go with the change of engine?
VL: It is not possible at the moment to confirm a precise date but we expect the new car and the new engine to be ready at the end of January. The expectations are high. The name Ferrari is a guarantee of success and it would be a huge satisfaction to see an Italian team, with an Italian car powered by an Italian engine, making a big step forward together. The marriage of Toro Rosso-Ferrari revitalizes our competitive spirit.
Q: Toro Rosso have performed better than expected over the past season. Do you sense any jealousy from the Red Bull Racing guys, given that you are supposed to be the companys junior team?
VL: No jealousy, but competitiveness. Toro Rosso is not a number-two team and it was never supposed to always be behind Red Bull Racing. We both want to do the best and to be the best, and we fight each other as we do with any other team on the track. Sport is not the right place for jealousy, but rather for a sound competitiveness.

Fewer than one in ten global organisations believe existing IT infrastructure can meet the challenges arising from mobile devices, social media, data analytics and cloud computing.
Though 70% believe that IT infrastructure can give their company an edge , only 22% have put in place a well-defined enterprise IT infrastructure strategy roadmap.
"IT Infrastructure Matters," an IBM commissioned study questioned 750 CTOs, CIOs and other technology executives in 18 countries and 19 industries.
Sixty per cent plan to increase their investment on IT infrastructure over next 12 to 18 months.
Almost half of those polled said they face challenges to ensure security when shifting large amounts of data between one geography and other. Over forty per cent said they face difficulty in cutting costs and improve efficiencies in their global storage environment.
Tom Rosamilia, who runs the IBM Systems & Technology Group said, "In our discussions with technical leaders, we are seeing that the historic shifts transforming business and technology are creating a greater need and urgency to deploy a computing infrastructure that can support their business results."
"Today's innovative companies are recognizing that the right infrastructure can deliver real competitive advantage and fuel top-line growth." Rosamilia added.
IBM carried out the study to assess what challenges organisations face in maintaining and upgrading existing technology, especially when they gear up to face while adopting new technological trends.

So, a little birdie told me it was your birthday ...
Okay, it wasn't a birdie, per se, but instead a little info box in your OS profile. Either way it is your birthday (or at least close enough for government work).
I tried to grow a garden, so that I could give you a bouquet, but my black thumb once again foiled my plans. To my thumb I say, "Hrmph!"
Well, it's getting there ... still a bit limp.
I give up. What I am trying to say is this: happy birthday Teddy/Theo/Theodora!
We saw you as a ho in HelLA. We are experiencing life with you and the wonderpups and the stompy, stompy woman above you. And are now seeing you in the red glasses doing stand up. This year has stripped you bare, but really? That's a good thing.
Follow that ancient history. And the current.
I, for one, love to hear it. (Even if I don't comment or rate. But I *DO* read.)
Happy birthday woman. Many more to come for you! Love, love, and lvoe. :)
And my animal menagerie says, "Mreow! Meow! Woof!"
And wait, you don't rate!!
~stomps off stage~
the flowers are stunningly gorgeous. i'm speechless, really. i hope that you just plugged in my name and that you use this for all OS birthdays. otherwise i'm overwhelmed. love love love and all the gratitude in the universe.

Today my lit. class got into another discussion about religion. We get into the best conversations in that class -____-. At first the teacher was talking about how Marxism has to do with Animal Farm and everything and I guess he said something that got my friend riled up (he's kind of touchy on religion and thinks he's always right -_-) and so then my friend, we'll call him B, talked to the teacher about it during passing period (we have a block class with him so we stay in the same class) and then B was allowed to rant to the class when we all came back. Um, so the main reason I'm talking about this was because the main point of the discussion was homosexuality and gay marriage and then some other stuff I already forgot about. But B is pretty religious and I didn't know he was so into that stuff. It made me a little uneasy hearing him telling everyone how wrong it is and all this crap but then my other friend spoke up about it (being gay) and was defending it and so I was like Yeah! *high 5* It was cool. But at lunch my friends started talking about it and B was just going on about how 'A sin is a sin, and homosexuality is a sin. It's wrong. Blah blah blah blah!' Wow. It probably shouldn't change my mind but now I'm seriously considering on NOT telling my friends that I'm bi. Today just ruined it. I've been building my confidence, too. But I came up with hilarious scenarios during lunch while everyone was debating about religion and shit. In the heat of the discussion: B: "It's wrong. God created man and woman to be joined together and to...blah blah: me: "Hey guys, now seems like a good time to tell everyone I'm bi!" or just randomly blurting out "HEY! IM GAY!" to everyone sitting at the table and a couple times while reviewing these nice situations in my head I burst out laughing. Though no one was paying attention luckily, I'm sure it looked strange. *sigh*
I think soon I might tell my crush I like her. It's really been bugging me lately. Friday is the last day for our math group and then I we won't be forced to talk to each other, OH NO! Maybe it's better. But I seriously feel like telling SOMEONE! POOP!
One of the great things you learn from coming out is who your true friends are. The ones that care will either learn to accept you or do so without issue--the ones that can't accept it aren't going to be worth hanging onto.
I lost more than a handful of very religious friends when I came out--in some cases it was because they flat out refused to accept me, and in others it was because I couldn't deal with their hypocrisy and feeling like they looked down on me. It's pretty give and take, I didn't want to lose them as friends but the more I evaluated my relationships with them the more I came to realize that surrounding myself with people like that wasn't helping me to better accept who I am or be more open about myself.
If you feel the need to tell someone then do it--just make sure, if you don't want a bunch of people knowing right now, that you tell someone you know that you can trust.
Good luck.
i have known my best friend for all my life, grew up together same school and all that. but only about a year ago we became really close. before that, i knew he was really religious and not up for hearing about homosexulaity. then, i came into his life and changed his mind. i was worried about him the most but i also knew he would be the only one to really understand, and even if he didnt i know hed pretend. so when i told him i liked girls along w guys he was very supportive an it made him realize that being gay has nothing to do w being a good friend bc im still the same person. some other friends know and they are cool too...
i hope you find at least one person like that bc its really comforting to kno you are accepted.
you will figure something out, good luck.

Three Bills return to practice Friday
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 1 2014 7:30PM
A rainy Friday evening didn't deter the Buffalo Bills on their final night ahead of their first preseason game of 2014. It also didn't hold a trio of players on the team from getting back on the field before the team travels to Canton, OH for the Hall of Fame game.
Guard Chris Williams, tight end Lee Smith and offensive lineman Chris Hairston all made their return after missing some practice time due to injury. All three players were only away from the field for under a week before they were able to participate in the team's on-field work once again.
Williams, the Bills' starting left guard, left Thursday's practice early due to an injury to his toe but did not need to miss any additional time. Smith had what head coach Doug Marrone labeled a "lower body injury," and missed only Thursday's practice. Hairston had the most longterm injury of the three, having suffered a back injury on Wednesday which forced him to miss Thursday's practice.
In fact the Bills only had two players on the active roster not available to them at practice and both play the same position. Tight ends Scott Chandler and Tony Moeaki each missed yet another chance to get back on the field due to individual injuries.
A groin injury has limited Chandler for the past few days at training camp to all but working with trainers from the sidelines. He and Moeaki, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, have both missed a handful of practices.
Dressed in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts, the Bills held an abbreviated final practice Friday, just two days ahead of the Hall of Fame Game to kick off the 2014 NFL preseason. The team will fly out to Ohio on Saturday and then take on the New York Giants Sunday at 8 pm. You can listen to complete play-by-play coverage of the game on WGR Sports Radio 550.

Comment on Atticus's explanation of rape in Chapter 14 of To Kill a Mockingbird. How suitable is this as an answer to Scout?
1 Answer | Add Yours
When Atticus is forced to answer a very adult question delivered by his daughter in Chapter 14 of to Kill a Mockingbird, he gives her a forthright answer, just as he has preached to his brother, Jack. Scout doesn't seem to have a clue what Atticus's explanation of rape meant since she couldn't understand why Calpurnia wouldn't answer her question in the first place. Scout already knew that Tom Robinson had been charged with rape--she just didn't know what the word meant. When she asked Calpurnia, the housekeeper told her to ask Atticus. When Scout finally got around to questioning Atticus,
He sighed, and said rape was carnal knowledge of a female by force and without consent.
"Well if that's all it is why did Calpurnia dry me up when I asked her what it was?"

Mavic Notch Helmet $109.95

Laura K Stewart
Zero complaints
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Mavic Notch has become my go to mountain bike helmet.
It has just the right amount of ventilation, and I like the extend back coverage.
It is one of the few helmets that does not pitch my temples when wearing glasses.
Easy size adjustment, true to fit, and room for a full head of hair.
I love the simple industrial look and the fit is great. The visor removes easily, and can be worn as a road helmet.
Zero complaints, totally satisfied - as you can see in this photo.
Tomasz Loboda
Has anyone used this helmet with the Shimano s71x glasses? I'm afraid that the temples on them may be too long.
Hi Tomasz,
They should work fine together. If it doesn't work then you do have 30 days to return the helmet.

Motivation: |
To come up with a better api for FeatureCollection |
Contact: |
Tracker: |
This page is being placed under GeoTools 2.5 to reflect what actually happened; further clean up of FeatureCollection is of course possible and this proposal may be used as a reference point.
Over the past two years, the FeatureCollection interface has been a constant source of problems. The major ones being:
- It implements both Collection and Feature, making it too complex and hard to implement correctly
- The Collection api is biased to an in memory data model, not suitable for spatial data formats
People have tried to implement an abstract base implementation of feature collection, but this has more or less been a failed attempt and now we are left with three different hierarchies of feature collections. The following is the class diagram:
Not very appealing. To add insult to injury it gets worse. FeatureCollection was come up with to replace FeatureReader and FeatureWriter. The motivation was the following:
- The Collection api is already a well known one to java developers
- Extended flexibility over reader / writer api, things like sorting, reprojection, etc..
However the reality of the situation is that because FeatureCollection is such a mess it has not been a good replacement and we have two data access apis: Feature Reader/Writer and FeatureCollection.
This is a proposal to fix all this. The primary goal of which is to come up with a simple as possible api in which people can actually implement.
This proposal was never completed and voted on; the work required to
prevent FeatureCollection being used by Java 5 "for each" syntax was completed as documented by the tasks section.
The FeatureCollection interface can be made much simpler by removing the restriction that a FeatureCollection be a Feature. This eliminates over half of the methods one must implement. The only downside of this is that it brings us away from the idea of a GML FeatureCollection. So users that actually wish to model a FeatureCollection as it is in GML are at a loss. However there is hope for such users as it they can simply just model it as a regular Feature, which has a Collection of features as an argument. Association vs Inheritance.
The second thing that doesn't quite fit is the fact that a FeatureCollection implements java Collection. Some of hte methods from the java Collection interface do make sense such as:
But many do not. While a case can probably me made for all the methods on the Collection interface the reality is that implementors just do not implement them, either leaving them as stubs, or throwing UnsupportedOperationException.
Furthermore, the methods that do make sense do not allow one to throw IOException. A FeatureCollection is meant to be something very close to the actual format of the data, so it has to do I/O. Not being able to throw IOException in these methods means that implementors have to wrap all code in try catch logic and then just throw some runtime exception, which users probably are not handling since its unchecked.
So we remove the restriction that a FeatureCollection be a java Collection and add just that api that we need. The following is what we come up with:
The above is a minimal implementation. In the following sections are things we may wish to add to the interface and are open to feedback and discussion.
See the Backward Compatibility section for additional notes on maintaining backwards compatibility.
The ability to filter a feature collection on the fly:
The ability to sort a feature collection on the fly:
Write Access
Using an iterator from a FeatureCollection is a alternative to using a FeatureReader. And there are indeed many implementations which back a FeatureReader directly onto a FeatureCollection iterator, and vice versa. However there is no such alternative to a FeatureWriter.
While the FeatureCollection interface provides some api for modification via add
, remove
, and clear
its incomplete. What would be nice is the ability to have an iterator that can be used for writing.
This would also involve adding some methods to the FeatureIterator interface, namely remove
and write
So what would this look like to client code. Well it would look very much like using a FeatureWriter:
What about inserting new features? The same FeatureIterator api can be used but another method on FeatureCollection is necessary:
Or alternatively a flag to the writer
Regardless, inserting new features uses the same FeatureIterator api:
Random Access
Ability to index a feature collection, as an extension:
The proposed FeatureCollection interface above does not include the contains
method. A case could be made for this method providing a quick way to do the lookup of a feature. An implementation could load the feature from storage by fid and then do the equals comparison.
Backward Compatibility
Client API
As with any change, we would like to minimize the amount of client api breakage. For the most part we can follow a standard deprecate remove cycle. However there no explicit way of deprecating the interfaces that it extends, so this will be a breakage. However impact on client code should be minimized because:
- We maintain the signatures of the methods from Collection that apply
- There is not much client code that actually uses FeatureCollection as a Feature
As an experiment in my eclipse ide, I modified the FeatureCollection removing the extension of Collection and Feature. Compilation resulted errors due to the absense of the following methods:
All of which are to be included in the new FeatureCollection interface. There were some additional compile errors:
A handful of references to this method, but only from test cases. Including this method in the new FeatureCollection is currently under discussion.
In the validation module, in a number of test cases.
There is a single case of a FeatureCollection being treated as a Collection in the render module. In this case it is being used to render straight POJO's, objects that do not implement feature. Although this was more or less a failed experiment, some code still lurks.
There is a single case of a FeatureCollection being treated as a Feature in the wfs module. It is in a single test case which does not actually appear to do anything with the resulting type, just calls the method.
So the bottom line is that impact on client code is negligible. And any api we do end up breaking we can cleanly with a deprecation cycle.
Internal API
Part of this proposal is cleaning up the internal api. As stated above the internal api for feature collections is a mess. Ideally, we would like to transform the class diagram shown above into this:
Unfortunately getting to the above picture is where most breakages occur. All of the implementations of FeatureCollection in geotools will have to be modified to fit into this picture. Also, this is where most breakages will occur in uDig and GeoServer.
So the bottom line here is that if you have implemented the FeatureCollection interface... you are screwed. However, the simpler FeatureCollection interface allows to actually come up with a decent AbstractFeatureCollection class which all the implementations can extend:
Subclasses have up to 3 responsibilities:
- Creating the iterator
- Performing an optimized query for the number of features
- Performing an optimized query for the spatial extent
All the rest of the operations are performed in terms of iterators. Even for size()
and getBounds()
, default implementation might even be implemented by the base class which fall back on creating an iterator and calculating manually.
GeoTools 2.5 - the follow tasks are needed right now to prevent users tripping over the Java for/each syntax (see: GEOT-1922 )
- FeatureCollection extends ResourceCollection does not extends java.util.Collection
- Deprecate unused java.util.Collection methods left in ResourceCollection; as measued by not being implemented
- If FeatureCollection is the only implementation of ResoruceCollection merge the two interfaces
- Stop FeatureCollection extending SimpleFeature; cleaning up any utility classes like FeatureState

Solar panels on a roof in Stalham High Street. PHOTO: ANTONY KELLY
Alex Hurrell, Reporter
Friday, November 9, 2012
Businessman John Dace has won his battle to keep solar panels on the roof of 129 High Street, Stalham.
North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) planning councillors today overturned their officers' recommendation to refuse the application and decided trying to save the planet was more important than any damage the panels might do to the appearance of the town's Conservation Area.
But their decision prompted a warning from the council's conservation chief, Philip Godwin, who said: "If we continue to allow the erosion of our Conservation Areas, we will have no alternative but to consider de-designating Stalham - and even Holt."
Mr Dace, who owns a number of properties in the High Street, argued that the panels helped keep costs down for the two shops and three flats occupying the building and were in line with government policy which said planning authorities should allow renewable-energy schemes unless there were exceptional circumstances for refusing them.
Stalham was not a chocolate-box town and in the context of the varied High Street townscape, Mr Dace said the benefits of the solar panels outweighed any other impact they might have.
Robert Stevens, councillor for Stalham, cited apocalyptic examples of increasing global warming and said he had been in New York when the great storm Sandy struck.
"There were fallen trees, enormous winds, and road signs were flying down the street. We must do all we can to save the planet for the benefit of future generations," he said, calling on the development committee to support Mr Dace's retrospective application.
Mr Godwin felt there was a fine balance between sustainability issues and preserving the Stalham Conservation Area which included a number of important buildings.
But Barry Smith told fellow councillors the panels did not alter the structure of the building and could be removed at the end of their life-span.
He did not notice the panels when walking down the High Street and felt the garish sign on the neighbouring Original Factory Shop was a far worse sight.
A total of 10 councillors voted to approve the panels, with two abstentions.
Afterwards, Mr Dace said he felt vindicated and thanked the hundreds of people who had supported him.
But he said there should be a public debate on Conservation Areas.
"There are far too many of them and many unjustly impinge on people's rights. We should be allowed to get on with running our businesses," he said.
The committee also agreed to ask the council to raise its concerns with government about businesses such as the Original Factory Shop being allowed to erect unsuitable signs.

If these planners and others were serious about saving the planet they wouldn't keep travelling about in their gas guzzling cars and solar panels would be fitted as standard on all new builds.

Shame they didn't approve the wind turbine in Bodham. Thankfully that is going to appeal, so fingers crossed there is time form common sense to prevail here too.

People dont appreciate just how bad it is to live in a 'conservation' area. It all sounds great until you realise you have to apply for permission to do just about anything. And who are these council employees who can Lord over us dictating what is good taste and what is sensible? (They must have been on a course - so thats ok -that qualifies them!). They love conservation areas so they can act like Lords of the Manor. Family, High St, and global issues all come second to trying to make places like they were 50 years ago. Why? Times change and times are hard, we cant afford all this. Sure - protect the real 'chocolate box' villages but there are now so many conservation areas we might as well call the whole of Norfolk one and be done with it. Come on everyone - tell them enough is enough! About 65% of all Norfolk conservation areas should be de-listed. Let people get on with life. (Purhaps we could save some council staff costs dealing with all those unecesary permission applications). When I pay handsomely for my house and garden, I should have the right to put a shed up or prune a tree that is touching my house, or replace my windows or gates or fit solar panels - without going cap in hand to anyone. An Englishmans house is his castle!

Solar panels are an investment and will help the environment even though in only a small way. They are an investment that produce free electricity when it is used plus you get paid for it feeding into the national grid. Not cheap to buy but with average annual weather they will pay for themselves in approx. 8 years, less if the price of electricity keep going up. Well done Mr Dace.

I am sure a few solar panels are going to save the planet. Why do we have to stick with these damned ugly things, especially in sensitive areas, when there so many panels available that are both pleasing to the eye and designed to replace and match the tiles already on the roof.
Thursday, November 8, 2012
Excellent result! Common sense prevails.
Thursday, November 8, 2012
Philip Godwin said: "If we continue to allow the erosion of our Conservation Areas .... "I think you already did that when you allowed the tacky sign on the shop next door! Very glad that for once the planners didn't put asthetics first, not much good having a conservation area that only the very wealthy can afford to live in is it?!
Thursday, November 8, 2012
The support for Mr. Dace's sensible measure in town might have been more persuasive as the planners case, some political expediency here, but it is a good step and it is to be seen whether NNDC conversion to energy conservation and community power generatipn projects is real.
