XForms: Review and Tutorial
The listings show only the tip of the iceberg of as far as XForms' possibilities are concerned. For the sake of brevity, I did not address subjects such as color definition or font selection.
One thing you will want to try is making resizable forms. Whether a form can be resized is defined in the call to fl_show_form(), which displays the form. How the form is resized is defined in the form definition itself. Again, you should use fdesign to set these options. For example, you might have a form with a button and an input object at the top, and with a browser below thrm. When such a form would be resized, you'd probably want only the browser to expand or shrink, not the button and input object. Such capabilities are set with objects' resizing options and gravities. XForms, and hence the designer, supports "object groups" for this purpose: you can group objects and define the resizing options and gravities to apply to a whole group.
Another useful property of any X program is the ability to let the user overrule settings of the program via command line flags, resources set via xrdb, or resources set via an application defaults file. XForms supports all of these; fl_initialize() can be used in combination with fl_get_resources() to scan for meaningful flags or resource settings. Implementing the resource recognition is not entirely trivial but goes beyond the scope of this article. If you're interested, look at some of the programs built using XForms. The XForms distribution as well as the WWW resources contain pointers to useful and illustrative programs.
Naturally, there are lots of other useful XForms possibilities. I leave it to you to read through the excellent documentation on a quiet evening with a glass of (virtual) beer.
Needless to say, I am very enthusiastic about XForms. The setup of the XForms toolkit (using forms, objects, classes) is very intuitive even when you have no previous experience with X programming at all. You do need good knowledge of C, though.
The range of object classes in XForms is so wide that I haven't (yet) needed to define a free object class. If you plan to write everyday programs, XForms probably has the classes to suit your needs, and the classes have plenty of dedicated functions to make the objects appear the way you like.
As far as the designer is concerned, I have come to cherish this tool, even though I first regarded it as just a flashy extra. The ease with which you can adapt a program to perform an extra task, by expanding an existing form to hold, say, an extra button, is incredible. No more code editing to adjust the coordinates of all widgets!
There are, of course, drawbacks. I think it's a shame that XForms is not distributed with the full sources. The fact that XForms can be used free of charge for non-commercial applications is of course a huge advantage, but still, I'd rather have the sources at hand. This irritation can be overcome if you're willing to pay the price: the authors do sell license agreements that include the source files.
Another drawback is that if you do not use the ELF-based version of XForms, you have to link your programs against a static libforms.a. There is no shared a.out-based library for XForms. Therefore, unless you migrate to the ELF executable format, even the smallest program turns out to be about 130KB. (On the other hand, I also use statically linked Motif programs. The 130KB is, by comparison, trivial.)
The XForms library is "nice" to programmers, which is an advantage when you are a new user or when you're developing a program. For example, when a program tries to remove a form from the screen which is not on-screen in the first place, XForms will pop up a warning window. You are then presented with three choices: to ignore the action, to abort the program, or to suppress such warnings. This feature is very handy when you are testing a program. However, such safety nets add "superfluous" code to a program. Once a program has been tested, such precautions are, in my opinion, no longer necessary and therefore only a burden. Ideally, I'd prefer two flavors of the XForms library: a developer's version with the full safety features and a production version without them. On the authors' part this would require only some #ifdef/#endif compilation directives in the code.
On the whole, I find that there are many more advantages to XForms than there are disadvantages. I use XForms now and I'm planning to continue to do so. I still haven't hit a wall in my X programming efforts that could not be overcome using XForms' own features. And I haven't even explored all possibilities of XForms yet.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

A study published in the August print issue of the Journal of Oncology Practice shows that from 1998-2008, wait times for colorectal cancer operations at Veterans Administration hospitals increased from 19 to 32 days. But researchers think longer waits may be a reflection of several unmeasured variables including more careful care, staffing, and patient conditions or preferences.
"Some of it is purely staffing we don't have enough surgeons or nurses or anesthetists or O.R. time to meet the need," says Martin McCarter, MD, investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and surgical oncologist at the University of Colorado Hospital. "But some of this increase in wait times for cancer procedures at the VA may be due to an increased focus on quality and outcomes. Better care takes time."
The study used data from 17,487 patients listed in the VA Central Cancer Registry. McCarter and colleagues including first author Ryan Merkow, MD, former surgery resident at UCH, compared the time between diagnosis and definitive, cancer-directed therapy such as colectomy or rectal resection in 1998 and 2008. During this 10-year period, the median time from diagnosis to treatment increased from 19 to 32 days. At high-volume centers, increases were even more pronounced, jumping 14 days for the treatment of colon cancer and nearly 30 days for the treatment of rectal cancer.
"What's missing in this study are any cancer-related outcomes what's the effect of these longer wait times on survival or quality of life?" says McCarter. Reframed, the question is whether more careful care is worth the wait is it better to treat quickly in the days after diagnosis or to adopt the more modern, more careful approach that can push back treatment?
"For example, perhaps more VA doctors are taking into account a patient's comorbidities maybe someone has lung or heart problems in addition to cancer. And it can take a few days or even a few week

Susana Martinez: Can a Latina governor be anti-illegal immigration?
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez acknowledged last week that she is descended from illegal immigrants. But as governor, she's taken a strong stance against illegal immigration. In that way, she's testing the boundaries for a new kind of conservative.
The announcement last week by New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) that her paternal grandparents came to the US illegally brought national attention to a small but growing trend in American politics: the rise of the anti-illegal immigration Latino.
Since taking office last year, one of Governor Martinez's top priorities has been repealing a state law that lets undocumented immigrants get a driver's license – something legal only in New Mexico, Washington, and Utah. Martinez also signed an executive order earlier this year requiring state law enforcement officials to check the immigration status of criminal suspects.
Even before confirming the rumors about her lineage, Martinez had drawn criticism from immigrant advocacy groups for such policies. Her acknowledgment last week only heightened the backlash, with critics saying her politics are hypocritical given her background.
The comments speak to the particular challenges that conservative Hispanics face in taking a hard line on illegal immigration. Yet Martinez's rise to the governorship also suggests that Latino politicians can break out of the traditional mold, even on this most sensitive of issues.
"It's very possible that Republicans – both Latino and non-Latino – can be supportive of immigration reform," says Rosalind Gold, a senior policy analyst at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO). "This is internally an issue on the rise for Latino Republicans in statewide positions, which means there are going to be more people who are going to be supportive of immigration reform."

Best Sports Team -- Professional
While Denver's pro football, baseball, basketball and soccer teams looked up from the bottom of their leagues, the Colorado Avalanche continued to make history. Last spring Bob Hartley's troops knocked off powerhouses like Los Angeles and St. Louis en route to a Stanley Cup finals showdown with the New Jersey Devils. Longtime Boston Bruin Ray Bourque won the nation's heart by winning his first Cup here in Denver; goalie Patrick Roy showed again why he is the best in the history of the game; Joe Sakic shone, and the Avs' solid defense handily shut down the New Jersey attack. Is there another Cup in the offing this year? The guys in the $300 seats on the blue lines think so.

I'd say my biggest beef with WoW (and in the end, why I found it unsatisfying), was their business model--"keep players playing for as long as possible" quickly turned into "drag out as little content as long as possible, and give players the constant illusion of progress and engagement." Playing the game pre-cap tends to boil down to "I have to get to the cap as fast as possible so I can do things that matter," and post-cap it tends to be waiting in a major city and running raids so you can get geared and run bigger raids (which would be almost excusable if the raid content was a reward in and of itself). As a player of a few years, I did quite a bit more waiting than doing! To quote Tim Rogers, "MMO Design has become the provision of functions to an authenticated user, rather than the presentation of a situation ('game') to a user ('player') with appropriate tools to allow for personal expression or an experience which has more meaning than the state of given persistent set of variables recorded in a digital log. In other words, while other people are providing software to program fuel injection systems so that drivers can enhance performance and flatten their torque curves, MMOs have been asking you to wait in a car while they measure your emissions." When a game runs off of that sort of system, it becomes more of a case of making the player feel obliged--"I have to play this game or else the subscription I paid will go to waste"--and focusing more on being "something to do" than "something that is." In short, content in general becomes more quantity over quality--and why shouldn't it, in WoW's case? Their success is based on how many people they can get hooked, and how long they can keep them there. That's part of why I feel Guild Wars 2 is a success (and why I bought it out of principle--I couldn't really play it until a few months after, but it deserved my support), is that its "one-and-done" policy allowed it to focus more on being a game than being something that told the players that they were playing a game. Hell, even the way it handles experience and the leveling system--you ultimately are able to progress through the game (which presents itself as a game--I find that the spotlight is more sharply focused on the ride rather than the * nonexistent* destination, which creates less of a feeling of "this quest is just something in between me and what all the cool kids are doing at the level cap" and more of a feeling of "I'm playing an actual game") at a much steadier pace, due to the exp required for leveling up more-or-less evening out past the "faster" introductory levels. Not only that--but you're actually rewarded more for exploring and doing quests that don't even feel like "quests" (but rather an interaction with the world within the game, instead of "something you need to do to level up faster"--there's influence behind it, "something that is" vs. "something to do"), than simply grinding the same instance over and over again while trying to find the most optimal route to get from point A to point B. Of course, there are a lot of areas I feel GW2 surpasses WoW with style and grace. From a game design standpoint, I wouldn't go as far as to say that WoW is well-designed (as a video game)--but rather, it does what it does extremely well and to say that Blizzard has profited from it would be a gross understatement. I'd say WoW isn't so much of a game as it is a simultaneously spectacular and opportunistic manipulation of the human psyche (the reasoning behind even the smallest things--such as that level up "ding," to the abundance of bars that fill up left-to-right, to how the egregious amount of idle "wait time" is sugarcoated and made "acceptable" in the eyes of the player, and so on) and a well-orchestrated, self-feeding beast created by taking advantage of the fact that human beings will congregate around just about anything and will multiply if kept there long enough. By and far, it's more fat than meat--I wouldn't consider this so much of a personal opinion as it is an observation of the (very concrete) matters at hand. Is it a good example of a successful product? Certainly. Is it a good example of a well-designed game, that should be used as an example for game designers past, present, and future? No, and I don't think I could ever bring myself to say it, even sarcastically. EDIT: Am I saying that people don't enjoy WoW or that it's impossible to enjoy it? Of course not--quite a few people are very into it (understatement--people have died playing WoW, and if that ain't dedication, I don't know what is). It's just not a business model I feel inspires the people behind it to come up with the best content and build it to last.
Your Persona
Darksiders 2 failed me so hard. I loved Darksiders. I didn't mind getting my ass kicked despite being one of the Horseman of the Apocalypse because it showed me at the start that War's power was stripped away. Didn't stop me from murdering everything.

Saturday, April 21
AmericanAirlines Arena
Attendance: 19,722
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Nene scored the last four Washington points off assists from John Wall, including the go-ahead layup with 0.5 seconds left, and the Wizards snapped a six-game losing streak against the Miami Heat with an 86-84 victory Saturday night.
Wall streaked into the paint to find Nene for a dunk with 46 seconds left and later orchestrated a perfect pick and roll in the final seconds, finding his teammate once again for the winning basket.
In between, Udonis Haslem thundered into the lane for a put-back dunk off Mario Chalmers' missed layup in transition to tie the game for Miami with 4.2 seconds left.
The Heat, already playing without LeBron James and Chris Bosh, lost Dwyane Wade to a dislocated left index finger early in the first quarter. They had won 12 of the previous 13 meetings against the Wizards, the last loss coming on Nov. 27, 2009.
The Southeast Division champs fell 2 1/2 games behind Chicago for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference with three games left.
Wade's finger was reset and he was "feeling fine" according to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. X-rays were negative.
"We will have to evaluate it each day and see how he responds," said Spoelstra. "Fortunately it was his left (non-shooting) hand."
Cartier Martin scored 22 points to lead Washington while Wall had 13 points and 13 assists and Kevin Seraphin scored 17. The Wizards have won three in a row for the first time since April 1-5 last year.
Mike Miller had 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for Miami. Chalmers also scored 16 and Haslem had 15 rebounds.
Wade, who was playing his second straight game after missing the previous two, left after playing just 2:40. He got his hand caught up in another player's jersey and was clearly in pain as trainers worked on him.
James was out for "minor bumps and bruises" while Bosh rested for the third straight game with "minor ailments" according to Spoelstra, who said the team was trying to get better before the playoffs.
"Tonight was good for us because we had a chance to play without those guys and get a rhythm and a feel," said Miami's James Jones. "That's what this game is all about. It's about rhythm, about getting a feel for your teammates and knowing their likes and dislikes.
"Tonight was a growth night for us. We just didn't get a victory."
The Heat used an extended 21-6 run spanning the third and fourth quarters to take their first lead of the game. Neither team led by more than three points in the last four minutes, setting up the exciting finish.
Wizards coach Randy Wittman said their final play, in which Wall used Nene's pick near the top of the key to get free, then dished it off to his teammate near the basket, was "part of the process of paying attention and executing out of a timeout."
"We couldn't have done that any better," said Wittman. "It was a heck of a find by John and Nene to get it to go down."
Wade didn't attempt a shot before leaving and Seraphin scored eight points in the first quarter for the Wizards, who shot 45 percent for a 23-15 lead.
Wall and Martin scored seven apiece in the second quarter and Washington led by as many as 11 points on Wall's dunk inside six minutes.
The Wizards carried a 45-37 lead into halftime behind Martin's 14 points while Dexter Pittman scored 10 to lead the Heat.
The Wizards pushed their advantage to 14 in the third quarter, but the Heat scored 11 straight, including the last nine on three-pointers, to pull within 57-54. Chalmers hit the first three-pointer and Jones made two in a row.
It was part of a 19-6 run to end the quarter for Miami, trimming the deficit to 63-62 entering the fourth. The Heat grabbed their first lead of the game on Miller's layup to open the final period.

Now, why have these teachers been hired? Is eliminating tenure really going to change this figure? Are competent teachers going to get fired because they don't have tenure? Why is the waiting period only 2 years? Similar considerations are discussed at http://intl.kappanmagazine.org...

Always find it a bit odd when people complain about documentation, or place emphasis on it. My first prioroty is, "it works".
On the other hand, it is hardly clear in most cases, who the audience of the comments are. Do they know much, do they know little? If they know little, there needs to be a lot of documentation. Who is to say?
So when I hear about people, who mention bad documentation, or who complain about some documentation, it strikes me a bit odd.

In the eternal quest for a foundation that covers redness from acne, looks natural and does not make my skin get super oily, I decided to try this based on other MUA reviews. I am very happy so far! I am using O20, and during summer, it stays put, keeps my skin shine free, and melds into it, covering just right. Unfortunately, it is rather on the expensive side, and it is a little too dark for use in winter. I have been unable to find lighter shades on Sephora or The Bay - the O20 is hard enough to find as it is!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love the coverage on this. It is a powder but could hide my pimple/acne scars very well. My cheeks are slight red and sensitive and it covers it very well. The staying power is pretty good too. However it is hard to blend. The colors are less yellow than i would like it to be. I was matched to O20 NATURAL LIGHT OCHRE. I am asian but the powder makes me look slightly white and pale (like an asian doll). The other colors i tried were too dark for me. I used this only when i want to look more flawless.

I've actually been using this powder for more than a year now and it's officially my HG! A good friend of mine introduced me and I never turned back :) I have oily/combination skin and uneven skin tone, but this foundation gives me that fresh flawless look! I absolutely love the coverage and the color is a perfect match (B40). It's never made me breakout and it lasts the workday. Freshening up does not add a "powdery" or "cakey" look :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely love this foundation! It looks so natural but the coverage is excellent. I apply it with a brush and it seems to just melt into your skin,being that the consistency is neither liquid or powder, rather somewhere in between. I understand if you wanted more coverage you can use a sponge, but I personally don't care for heavy makeup that you can feel on your face all day. The only neg. I have is that you have to purchase the compact separately which is kind of a ripoff. Other than that I tink the foundation is the bomb.

1. The Packaging
Beautiful, as always. Small and sturdy. I really like the square-ish shape that fits right in my purse pocket. Easy to refil.
2. The Product
Silky and smooth :O I wear the shiseido pre-makeup cream underneath and it keeps me matte all day, without that being TOO matte and cakey/powdery. It has a subtle glow that is just beautiful without the oily look from the "dewey" products. Covers all my redness and acne marks/huge pores so that I look airbrushed.
3. The End Results
I'm very acne prone and therefore don't ever leave makeup on all night. I make sure to use the shiseido cleansing gel (can you tell i love this company?lol) and usually take it off once I get home, to unwind in the late evening. So far, no acne problems.
4. Side Note
I tried the 'miracle' foundation Bare Escentuals. I finally got fed up brushing and dusting or whatever the hell you do when I noticed all this powder in my nice WHITE grout on the bathroom sink. Ugh. 3 hours of scrubbing later and I threw it out. This compact is nice to have around, and you dont have to be careful of shaking it and throwing powder everywhere. Also O20 is a LOT closer to my skin that Fairly Light ever was.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is horrible! I thought it would be more suitable for my dry/combination skin type compared to Shiseido's The Makeup Powdery Foundation but instead it broke me out in just a couple days of usage. It accentuated every bump and clogged pore. To be honest, I was embarassed to go out with this on. I couldn't even find the exact shade, O60 is a little too dark and O40 is waaay too light(for reference, I am a MAC NC40). The texture is silky but HEAVY and thick. I used to really love Shiseido's The Makeup Powdery Foundation for cold Winter months.. try that instead.
I was given a sample in I40 by the SA and did not think much about it together with their other gifts when I made my Future Solution LX purchases recently as I was always disappointed with all my previous purchases of powders and foundations (except for Guerlain's Meteorites in Mytic) as all the colors did not match my skin tone which all ended up in the drawers waiting to be expired.
When I returned to the Shiseido counter the following week for a chat, the SA enquired did I tried the foundation and I said no and she urged me to give it a try.
Thus, the next day, I had it applied and I was "wow"!!!
The coverage is good and yet so natural which in order words, simply just melted into my skin without a trace as though I am not wearing any makeup which looks so natural yet, with just the right coverage and in the meantime, I do not feel like I have any powder on.
The texture is good and fine too just like a second skin to me when applied.
After trying it for a few days until the little cake of sample ran out, I made my purchase and has been using it everyday after applying my daily skincare routine and sublock follow with light dustings of Guerlain's Meteorites powder as the final step.
The price is a little on the high side but I felt is fully justifiable for such a great product but the casing which is sold separately is ridiculously expensive for a piece of plastic and a attached mirror.
For those with oily skins, I think this may not be suitable and their Maquillage range will be a safer bet and more suitable.
My face do look a little oily by the end of the day but this could be easily rectified by simply re-applying light touch-up or a light dusting of Guerlain Meteorite powder or any loose powder.
I prefer to use a big powder brush rather than the supplied sponge as it looks more natural and do not give my pores the powder clogged look.
I also noticed by using the sponge, besides the clogged pores look, the powder will also looked cakey after a couple of hours but if apply with brush, this do not occur at all and look most natural.
All in all, I would say this is a great powder with good coverage, nice texture and wonderful pigments that look most natural for me which somehow make me so delighted where I finally found a foundation that seamlessly matches my skin tone and will definitely buy it again.

This foundation is beautiful! when used right (ONLY USE TINY AMOUNTS PEOPLE!) it really gives a flawless finish!! on clients i use the dual balance foundation then this, but you only need sch small amounts and blend blend blend!!!
the downfall is that the colours are completely wonky! they do not match up to the original shiseido colours and anyone who is a true ivory colour (like me) can forget about it completely, they are all VERY yellow! :(
anyone who have a slight (or alot ) or yellow tones - go try it!!!

Coverage = 5 (medium to full coverage)
the coverage is excellent.
Long Lasting = 5 (powder stays on all day)
Recommended for oily skin type = no (because it doesn't help oil control, you can find better powder foundations out there that does a better job)
Suited for asian/caucasian skin = yes (shades "I' and "B" are for people with pink undertones and shade "O" is for yellow undertone people)
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I tried rotating between this and my cheaper drugstore liquid foundation, but ended up reaching for this quick and reliable foundation. Simple, easy, natural coverage. I was wary of getting a powder foundation because I have dry skin, but (with a primer) the foundation sets to a smooth, flawless finish by the time I head out the door. Non-cakey and blends into my skin. The coverage is buildable because it is not heavy; I use minimal or no concealer and get countless compliments on my "perfect" skin. It lasts long enough for me, maybe not morning to night, but morning to early evening, or early evening to late night, before fading. This held up well in the dry Montreal winter and the hot Montreal summer. I'm not sure how well this would fare with more blemished skin, as coverage is moderate.
With everyday use, with a brush, not the sponge, it lasted 6 months. I might try another foundation for the fall months, but will get a refill on this formula eventually (good colour match, a bit pricey, but worth it). I was matched with B20 in this formula and I20 in other Shiseido formulas. The MA had a good eye in recognizing that this formula runs darker/more yellow than other Shiseido foundations. The compact (sold separately) is beautiful, however, I ditched the sponge so the separator is useless. Maybe because I use a brush, it gets messier inside; powder on the mirror makes it useless, though it's too small to be useful anyway. One more note, Canada does not seem to carry the SPF version.

KU freshman Andrew Wiggins on Sports Illustrated, compared to Wilt and Manning
In the months since Andrew Wiggins signed to play basketball at Kansas, he has avoided autographs seekers outside his on-campus apartment, done a photo shoot with GQ, and helped attract close to 25,000 fans to the most anticipated "Late Night in the Phog" since Bill Self arrived at Kansas.
Well, here's one more thing: Andrew Wiggins, Sports Illustrated cover subject.
Wiggins, a 6-foot-8 swingman, will appear on this week's cover, flanked by photos of Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning. The photo shows Wiggins facing away from the camera, accompanied by the words: "The Freshman From Wilt to Manning to Wiggins." Wiggins, of course, won't play his first regular-season game for another month. But after drawing comparisons to former high school phenoms LeBron James and Kevin Durant, Wiggins' arrival at KU has been met with unprecedented hype — well, unprecedented since perhaps Manning or Chamberlain arrived in Lawrence. The cover story, authored by Sports Illustrated writer Luke Winn, details the parallels between Chamberlain, Manning and Wiggins arriving at Kansas. "The notion of what Andrew Wiggins could be, if he can cultivate a relentlessness to pair with his talent, is why he is being received differently — even at a school that's won nine straight regular-season Big 12 titles and has two other potential first-rounders in guard Wayne Selden and center Joel Embiid," writes Winn. "Even in a college town that's seen this already, twice."The new SI cover: Wilt, @CoachDManning and @22wiggins, starring in "The Freshman" pic.twitter.com/9rSoQZmBk7

Top 10 Interesting Tidbits About the Saratoga Lip Dub
On September 1, 2011, residents from Saratoga Springs, NY participated in a citywide Lip Dub. People in costume (many with props) lined the downtown street to lip sync to 3 Train songs. On September 27th, the premiere of the finished product was shown on the big screen of The Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) and we have the full video below for your enjoyment.
We have tabulated our list of the 10 things you might not know about the Saratoga Lip Dub…interesting behind the scenes morsels, a little idea of who these people are, and just a few reasons why Saratoga Springs is a great place to live and a better place to visit. Our list is in chronological order. So as you watch, read our list and follow along.
1. Shauna Sutton, Deputy Mayor of Saratoga Springs, had the "Hey Soul Sister" lyrics taped to her back for anyone behind her to read. She is located at the beginning of the video at the Saratoga Springs City Center, dressed in a blue suit.
2. The folks seen crossing the street from the City Center to the Stewarts Ice Cream cow are actors from the Saratoga Shakespeare Company, a great summer theatre in Congress Park.
3. The porch of Saratoga Arms was filled with many, many, many family members, friends, neighbors, classmates and members of Saratoga Pride.
4. The large wagon filled with garden fresh vegetables (the woman was singing into a zucchini) was from local farms that participate in the Saratoga Farmers' Market, just voted the 2nd best medium sized farmers market in the country.
5. The Victorian Era dressed people walking across the street participate every year at the Saratoga Springs Victorian Street Walk. The Street Walk will be held this year on Thursday, December 1, 2011.
6. No people or animals were injured during the making of this video. The boy on the stretcher was an actor and we have a wonderful city hospital. :)
7. The white t-shirts and people holding beer steins represent the annual Chowderfest and our citywide Brewfest. And remember, Saratoga Arms offers Ultimate Winter Beer Weekends!!
8. What is the poster of the crazy-haired lady with all of the squigglies? Why, it's the Saratoga Springs Annual First Night, a New Year's Eve event with music all over the city…and fireworks at midnight.
9. I have looked but I have never seen a human slot machine or life sized dice at the Saratoga Casino and Raceway. I'm still looking though. What would be the return?
10. Over 1,000 people attended the finale in historic Congress Park. What a great way to spend a summer afternoon.
A Rare Mansion Tour of the Artists' Retreat, Yaddo
Yaddo is something of a Saratoga Springs legend and mystery. This upstate New York artists' retreat has been an haven of privacy and focus for many famous artists since its doors were first opened in 1926. Each year more than 200 individuals are invited to spend anywhere from two weeks to two months to hone their craft. Many renowned artists have spent time living and working at Yaddo through the years including John Cheever, Truman Capote, Langston Hughes and Sylvia Plath – just to name a few.
Rarely has Yaddo opened its doors to the public. The only public areas are the lovely outdoor gardens that grace the 400-acre estate. Yet on September 18, Yaddo is opening its doors for the first time in 8 years for a public tour of the Yaddo Mansion and West House. Visitors will see the wonderful architecture of these houses, including enormous stained glass windows, fireplace mosaics and original furnishings and artwork. The 2-hour tour also includes the viewing of artists' studios and outdoor burial grounds.
The event will be held rain or shine at a rate of $40 per person. The 2-hour tour slots fill quickly and the only remaining reservation times available are September 18th at 8:30am or 4:00pm. Reservations are ONLY available by advance booking via Yaddo's website. Please note that the final day for placing a reservation will be Thursday, September 15th at 5:00pm.
Take this opportunity to peek into an era and place that few ever get to see. It may be another decade before the folks at Yaddo open their door again.
To get an inside look, click the Yaddo Mansion below for a video tour.
Saratoga Arms Participates in the Saratoga Lip Dub
Friends and family of Saratoga Arms were featured in a city-wide Lip Dub. A Lip Dub…what is that? It is a one take, unedited lip sync that has become all the rage on YouTube. Being the brainchild of the Saratoga County Chamber, they thought it would be a great way to promote the city. The video featured 3 Train songs (their drummer is a Saratoga Springs grad and classmate of Saratoga Arms' own Sheila Smith) and incorporated between 3,000 – 5,000 people along the main street of Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs.
The porch of our Saratoga Springs Hotel was a Lip Dub destination and the 50 volunteers did a great job. Amy and Sheila from Saratoga Arms take you on a behind the scenes view of the day.
The premiere will be held on September 27th, between 6 – 8 pm at the Saratoga Springs City Center. At that time, it will go live on YouTube and other Internet sites. We are looking for over 10 million views. Be sure to keep a look out for Saratoga Lip Dub!
Top 10 Reasons for a Non-Gambler to Attend the Saratoga Race Course
Saratoga Springs is the summer place to be. And many flock to this wonderful upstate New York town to see the thoroughbred racing at the Saratoga Race Course. But what can you do if you don't bet? We have come up with our Top-10 list of great Things To Do at the track even if you're not a gambler:
1-People watch - Saratoga is the place for fancy hats and people dressed to the nines. You could get lost all day in watching the festive crowds.
2-Dress up or not - Do you want to get all dressed up in your finest clothes and have a seat in the Clubhouse, or are you interested in wearing shorts and sitting at a picnic table with a cooler? The great thing about the Saratoga races is that you can do both, although preferably not on the same day.
3-Play the name game, the color game, or the number game - While you may not be a gambler, it's always fun to get caught up in the most exciting 2 minutes in sports. You don't have to be a horse handicapper, as we've noticed that sometimes the biggest winners are those who know nothing about horse racing! Just play what you know – favorite number is 9, favorite color is yellow and diamonds are a favorite jewel. Put $10 across the board on the number 9 and who knows, you might come home a winner.
4-Spot a celebrity - Saratoga has been known to have the cast from The Sopranos in the winner's circle. A certain cast member from Entourage owns a share in a Saratoga restaurant and a certain former NY Giants coach is seen at the track throughout the meet. Who can you spot?
5-Great Music - There's a different musical act out in the general admission area each racing day. And who knows, you could kick up your feet as well.
6-Sample the Food and Drink - From the famous fried chicken from local favorite (and winner of the Bobby Flay Throwdown competition) Hattie's, to famous NYC restaurateur Danny Meyer's Shake Shack, there's something for everyone's appetite. And don't forget the Saratoga Race Track's signature cocktail, The Saratoga Sunrise. It's a perfect thirst quencher for a summer day.
7-View the Paddock Area - Want to see these horses a bit closer up? The paddock area is where the horses get saddled, the jockeys are given final instructions from their trainers and you can get a first glimpse of the horses prior to the race.
8-Get a Jockey's Autograph - These athletes are quite accessible after their race. They dismount their horses at the finish line and walk through the crowd back towards the Jockey quarters. Do you have a little one at home that would love an autograph? The jockeys are usually quite accommodating. Hint: pick the winning jockey and ask them to sign the race page of your program.
9-Sample the Big Red Spring - Our upstate city is known for having curative spring water. There are many free-flowing springs within the downtown area and the Saratoga Spa State Park. And there's also one within the Race Course grounds. On the far side of the paddock is the Big Red Spring. Bring a cup, take a sip…maybe your aches and pains will subside.
10-Cross it off your Bucket List - Sports Illustrated named the Saratoga Race Course one of the Top 10 sporting venues of the 20th century. We couldn't agree more!
Have you made your booking? Come see why Saratoga is called "The Summer Place To Be" while you enjoy your stay at Saratoga Arms!
Hurricane Earl is not visiting Saratoga Springs!
Come inland, upstate or climb off that yacht.
Join us for the final weekend of the 142nd meet at Saratoga Race Course, America's oldest racecourse. We offer refuge from the storm and a weekend to remember. The Woodward, The Hopeful and The Spinaway are the featured races. Place your bets and cheer on your favorites before this racing season is put in the history books. Take home a souvenir long sleeve tee shirt, the final NYRA giveaway, with your Sunday admission to the track.
Final stretch activities on Saturday and Sunday, include music festivals and street entertainment, just off our front porch and up and down Broadway. Sam the Bugler will soon sound his final call to the Post…listen closely he's calling you.
The restaurants, the shops and the charm that is Saratoga are beckoning… now and into the fall season. Saratoga Arms is the hotel that offers a four-star experience with a welcome home atmosphere. We have a room just for you.

Here's an easy way to wipe out microwave grime: Place inside a 4-cup large microwave-safe bowl that contains 1 cup of water and a chopped-up lemon, lime or orange or several tablespoons of vinegar. Turn on High for several minutes or until the solution boils and the window is steamy. You must let it sit to cool for 15 minutes before opening the door. Remove and wipe out inside. Clean the rubber gasket around the door with a sponge dampened with water only. If the window is greasy, clean with a mixture of half vinegar and half water, then dry.

Quoted from JJR The bummer is that some foods do seem to be better when eaten fresh. Like the times I've had frozen pineapple, the enzymes don't seem as, well, lively as when I eat it fresh. Plus a fresh one just tastes way better. And some fruits I never see frozen. Like plums. But yeah, that link said an apple is like 14 months old on average. Wow.

Quoted from Spring I freeze watermelon, too, so I can have it during the winter months when we only see mushy, pathetic, imported varieties.

Quoted from aussielady582 good comments above, must re-visit this thread again.sardines can cause problems if one's liver function is sluggish or there has been buildup of toxicity in body, it may have nothing to do with the tin/can or other ingredients.Also, sardines are often caught a long way from where one lives, and so is not really fresh seasonal produce.I may still eat some sardines, but will buy local fresh white flesh fish too, this week, Coral trout; had some for lunch today with vegetables in ghee and spices, over white basmati rice, fresh coriander(cilantro). Still have to freeze some portions, as can't always get to the fish shop when I need to.
Quoted Text Now, to reverse a hackneyed simile, how do they pack the sardines into those cans like New Yorkers in the subway during rush hour? Surprisingly, it is still done mostly by hand. Machines sort the fish by size and decapitate, eviscerate and de-tail them, but human hands and eyes still do the best packing job.What about the bones, guts and skins we find in many canned sardines? Are they edible? Yes. In the so-called Mediterranean method of processing, the fish are eviscerated and thoroughly cooked, either by steaming or frying, which is more expensive. In the Norwegian method, the fish are not eviscerated; they are kept alive in nets for at least 48 hours, during which time they complete the digestion of their food and clean themselves out. Then they are hot-smoked. The bones and skins are good for you; the bones contain calcium and the skins contain omega-3 fatty acids.Unincarcerated SardinesI received this week's question about sardines from a reader in Vienna, just as I was returning from Spain's Costa Brava -- specifically, Catalonia and its capital city, Barcelona. Catalonia is a self-governing region in northeastern Spain with its own language and culture. It is the birthplace of surrealism, not only in art (Joan Miro and Salvador Dalí were Catalan) and in architecture (Antonio Gaudí, ditto), but more recently in gastronomy, with the worldwide recognition of Catalonia's most creative and surrealistic chef, Ferran Adrià.While in Catalonia, I ate some of the world's best sardines, not to mention anchovies and several anonymous little fishies.We Americans may think of sardines as the contents of those small, flat cans with the rounded corners -- you know, the ones that splatter oil or sauce all over the counter when we tear off the lid. But in Catalonia the sardine rises to gastronomical eminence. There, fresh sardines six to eight inches long are either deep-fried or grilled (à la planxa in Catalan), often over a driftwood fire at the beach, and sprinkled with coarse salt. That's all. Tinsmiths need not apply.
Quoted from Amazone I. very high in purines.... ...(the mentioned fish... I'm talkin about )...

Your cart is empty!
After eating lunch at Whole Foods, I realized I had forgotten to replenish my stock of dental floss in my car. Salad greens, chicken, etc...If you floss, you get it. There were a few selections available. I chose the "Smart Floss" and I was very pleased. It's thick, yet stretches and really scrubs as you slide the floss between and around the teeth. I didn't get a big cardamom flavor, just a hint of freshness. I wouldn't have even guessed cardamom had it non been on the package. The price was just under $5 including tax, which seemed comparable to the other options at Whole Foods. My teeth so great after I use it. Thanks
It's annoying that I have difficulty finding this in stores. The floss is best for my teeth that are close together. The strong thin floss really cleans the best of any floss I've tried.
Excellent product! Won't live without. Much better than the floss picks made of wire--this one doesn't bend, so can get through your whole mouth with one pick! Can't beat the price at over just a penny a piece.
This floss is easy to thread between your gums and dental appliances such as a bridge. The fat, spongy floss cleans the gap. The rest of the piece is regular floss for the rest of your teeth so one strand does it all. Good product.
"This floss actually makes me like to floss, so I do it more often. It's woven, smooth, and easy to use on teeth that are close together. My husband flosses every day and he loves it too."

Will someone PLEASE put this vacuous nobody out of my misery? Every time I go online, there she is. Every freaking day. With that moronic smile, like someone just smacked her upside the head with an iron skillet. I wish she would get lost at sea, never to be seen again. Truly.
Couldn't agree more. She has been a thorn in our sides for years. Their should be a congressional mandate to revoke her freedom of speech. That said.... um.... Id do her
I'm still not sure why she's famous. Is it like Joel McHale from the Soup says, "For having a big butt and a sex tape."? She's kind of a butter face to me.
thats a good question. she is a freaking cow. she has a ass the size of a mack truck. if she sat on your face she would crush your skull. she does absolutely zero for me also.
you can find unflattering pics of pretty much any celeb... from Aug 17th Wish that was part of my reality..
so disgusting. can you imagine what that will look like when shes over 40. i feel sorry for the guy that marries her unless he married her for money. i guarantee you she has to shave a mustache off every week or so. if not now she will have one soon enough. the horror of it all.
I cannot stand her and her family. Only in america could someone suck some kock and become this famous....and her mother promoted it. I like you tune am so sick of seeing this no talent slut everywhere i turn that i have had fantaseyes of her dying in a flaming car wreck/ I use to feel the same way about lindsey lohan, but KK now has the top spot in my heart for hate and loathing. I once saw a poll about a new KK tv show, only 5% would watch it, but that 5% keeps her face everywhere.
