Jay Baruchel, a Canadian actor who garnered attention in the How to Train Your Dragon series, This Is the End and She's Out of My League, is trying his hand at directing with the adaption of the popular graphic novel Random Acts of Violence.
Baruchel has done everything else connected with the silver screen, so the decision to direct seem s a logical next step. He has cast his friend Emily VanCamp and David Krumholtz in the film. Baruchel told Wenn "We finally have our financing and we have our leads. If we can get everything together at the right time, it will be finally something I'll get to direct. So hopefully we'll be making this crazy, weird horror movie in Northern Ontario this year." Baruchel will also be starring in the film.
The graphic novel is about comic book writers who discover an eerie correspondence between the world they are creating through their drawings and real life.
"Abduction" – In order to survive, Emily and Victoria must set aside their grudge, while Jack and David race to save them before they kill each other, on ABC's "Revenge," SUNDAY, JANUARY 18 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
"Revenge" stars Emily VanCamp as Emily Thorne, Madeleine Stowe as Victoria Grayson, Nick Wechsler as Jack Porter, Gabriel Mann as Nolan Ross, Karine Vanasse as Margaux LeMarchal, James Tupper as David Clarke and Brian Hallisay as Ben Hunter.
Guest starring Elena Satine as Louise Ellis, Tommy Flanagan as Malcolm Black, and Carolyn Hennesy as Penelope Ellis.
"Abduction" was written by Christopher Fife and directed by John Scott.
"Revenge" is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 channel surround sound. A TV parental guideline will be assigned closer to airdate.
For more information on "Revenge," visit ABC.com/Revenge.
"Madness" – David finally decides to settle his debt to Victoria while Emily helps Nolan with a takedown of his own, on ABC's "Revenge," SUNDAY, JANUARY 11 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET)
I've got 381 HD captures of Emily from tonight's episode now in the gallery:
He recently posted a few new photos of Emily and I've added them to the gallery:
In the coming months, Revenge will be going on its Winter Hiatus, therefore I'll be posting captures and stills of Emily in previous projects such as Glory Days, Radio Active and finishing up the Brothers & Sisters captures during the break to help tide us over. A return date has not been confirmed yet but once we know something we'll let you all know.
Just a reminder that we are now on Instagram (@EmilyVanCampCom) and are back on tumblr (@EmilyVanCamp-Net), so be sure to follow us there. We're also still on Twitter at @EmilyVanCampCom.
If you find any problems on the layout, please leave us a comment.
I also just wanted to take the time to re-introduce myself, I'm Tori. I was a former owner of EVCF back when Lisa was running it, and I'm the owner of EmilyThorne.org, ChristaBAllen.net and MadeleineStowe.org. I'll be helping Holly.

Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750
Most Mac users agree that Apple makes the best keyboards for its machines, but there's always a reason to check out other options—especially if you want new and different features Apple hasn't implemented yet. Logitech has come up with a solution to address two common Apple Wireless Keyboard issues—the hassle of changing the batteries whenever they run dry, and the lack of a number pad. The new Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 ($60) ships at the end of this month, comes in multiple colors, and even beats Apple's version on price. Updated! New photos and details have been added below the fold.
Logitech took care to make this keyboard comfortable for Mac users: it has the same layout that you're used to, and there are no drivers or anything like that required—it's just plug and play. Solar panels along the top charge off of sunlight and lamplight, and the Wireless Solar Keyboard's designed to work for three months in complete darkness. There's one downside: instead of using Bluetooth, it connects over 2.4GHz wireless, so you have to plug a dongle into one of your USB ports. This may be one of those rare occasions where the loss of a USB port is worthwhile.
Updated September 7, 2011: We've had a chance to play around with K750 for a few days now, and we're pretty impressed. The keys are pretty much the same size as Apple's, but are a little bit taller. They feel really good under our fingers, with a nice clickiness to them. On the right side, there's a button that displays the level of light being absorbed with either a smiley or frowny face. If you've installed Logitech's Solar App from the Mac App Store, the button will also launch that and give you more detailed information. Most of the buttons are mapped correctly, although the screen brightness keys don't do anything and the Dashboard button still pulls up that application, rather than Mission Control. Our biggest complaint is the dongle; we'd love to see a version of this keyboard with Bluetooth.

I am looking into mobile app development, and I had some questions about the android platform.
Does the android platform use a central settings and preferences page (much like the gears icon on an iOS device)?
I've been reading about services. Are these what I would use if I wanted to develop an application that doesn't have a UI (think something like the drop box client)?
In my reading about services I read that the android OS will kill your service when it thinks that it needs to reclaim resources. Is there a way to ensure a service wouldn't be killed?
How much control would I as a developer have over the physical hardware? Say if I wanted to make an app to block distractions, and to do this I would need to control the networking interfaces beyond purposely misconfiguring these interfaces to block their connection? Can I programmatically turn off these interfaces?

I enjoyed my stay at Noelles place in Outer Richmond which offers walking distans from beautiful Ocean beach and Golden Gate Park. This area of San Francisco is about 30-40 minutes from down town with the bus and that makes the area calmer, more quiet and cleaner then other parts of the city.
As I arrived i got clear instructions on how to find the place and I entered through the garage finding the key on the kitchen table with a note and a bottle of wine. Noelle also let me keep my bike in the garage. I never met Noelle but the welcoming note and instructions gave me all the information i needed. The place was clean and cozy and as described. However for my needs the internet connection was a bit to slow, about 4 Mb up streams and 1 Mb down streams, making it difficult to carry through video calls etc.
Noelle's place was very good and convenient. House was very clean and had no problems finding it.
I had a great time in SF thanks to Noelle's private studio and a wonderful welcome. The place was as described. Noelle is a wonderful host and I never had a problem contacting her. She keeps the studio clean and pays attention to details. The apartment features a TV (w/o DVD) and the basic kitchen equipment for up to two people. Supermarkets, a bus stop, the ocean and the Golden Gate Park are in walking distance.
I experienced an uncomplicated and pleasurable stay at Noelle's place. However, as stated in the description, expect some noise from the floors above - which might be a problem if you're noise-sensitive.
Wir hatten vier super Tage in San Francisco!
Das Apartment liegt in einer netten und ruhigen Gegend. Eine Haltestelle ist zu Fuß in 3 min zu erreichen. Der Bus bringt einen in 30 min direkt in die Innenstadt (zur Market Street und diese hoch).
Das Apartment ist sauber und nett eingerichtet, jedoch nicht das größte. Für einen Städtetrip nach San Francisco ist das Apartment absolut zu empfehlen. Ein Fernseher mit DVD Player und allen bekannten US Sendern sowie eine ausgestattete Küche inklusive Kaffeemaschine, Toaster, Herd, Kühlschrank und Mikrowelle waren ebenfalls im Zimmer vorhanden.
Einziger Minuspunkt ist die Hellhörigkeit des Hauses, was uns jedoch nicht sonderlich gestört hat.
The apartment is very clean and comfortable. Noelle does a great job of taking care of all the details for a comfortable stay. The separate entrance makes it feel like your own home so come and go as you wish. Its walking distance to the beach and VA hospital. There's a market across the street and several restaurants a couple blocks away. I would stay here again.
Noelle's studio was amazing. We stayed there 4 nights and we felt at home. It was clean and really cozy. The house is great and we felt really like we had our own place in SF!
My boyfriend and I had a great time in Noelle's Studio Apartment. The apartment was cozy, and had everything we needed. There was a laundromat and a corner store right up the street which was very convenient. The place was within walking distance of many restaurants, as well as the ocean and golden gate park! Noelle also sent us a message alerting us to a popular blues festival going on in the park one weekend which was a lot fun. Plus the welcome wine was the cherry on top!
I really enjoyed staying at Noelle's lovely studio apartment whilst I was in San Francisco.
She was very helpful and accommodating whilst I was arranging my stay. The studio was clean and cozy and I had everything I needed and I really appreciated the bottle of wine which she left for me.
It was great to be so close to Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park and Land's End and easy to get downtown with the bus stop right around the corner, and lots of grocery shops and restaurants near by.
I would highly recommend Noelle's place and look forward to staying again.
The proximity was very convenient for my purpose of visit and close to the ocean and parks. I had everything I needed in this small studio and pricing was reasonable.
I stayed here just under a week and loved it. The only issue I had is that it was a bit further away from where I needed to be for work stuff (my visit was for work purposes only) - but that's MY fault for not properly using a (website hidden) map (haha)
For those that care about such things, the photos on the listing didn't represent the layout of the furniture when I was there, and I'm actually happy about that. I loved the layout they had for the space, and for 1 person, it was perfection. It seemed be way more spacious than what it shows on the pictures, which was nice :) I would probably not have an issue staying here in the future with my spouse, as far as space was concerned.
The studio was much nicer than pictured. It was cute, comfy and cozy, and had everything I needed to be comfortable.
This might seem odd, but my favorite thing was the hot water! I've stayed at many hotels, one other airbnb and the thing I always miss is good water pressure, and water that gets hot enough. Both were fantastic here, and after a hard day of work, and commuting in the rain each day, it was much appreciated! Plus the bottle of wine... Thank you Noelle!
Your setup is great, and the house rules weren't an issue at all! There's also a great "market" across the street which had vegan microwave dinners,nice cheeses, and all kinds of other yummy foods you wouldn't expect at a corner store (like Reeds Ginger Beer, my all time fav which is HARD to find in my home city!)
Others mentioned the noise. I was up very early in the morning, and went to sleep way late (I worked like crazy, only getting about 3 hours of sleep a night), so I heard the kids occasionally and I never had an issue with noise. I didn't use the noise fan. Didn't need it. I don't mind hearing people walking upstairs, that's common if one lives in an apartment anyway. Nothing out of the ordinary regarding noise during my stay. I slept like a baby, but maybe I can sleep through anything?
Thanks again Noelle!! Great studio!
Noelle, her husband, Ben, their 2 children and grandparents, were fantastic tenents! Charming fun folk, easy to talk to, and they were very complementary of the apt. and our property in general. Coming from Noelle who has her own airbnb place in San francisco is very flattering!
The guys were introducted to game of petanque, with son Jake taking home the honors. They also took advantage of the tennis court, the swimming pool, and hikes through the forest to Dry Creek.
On their departure, they left the apt. spic and span.
They expressed strong interest in returning, and we welcome their return visits at any time! We highly recommend them to all airbnb hosts!

Traffic is ok now according to local tv news. How sad that another person has been struck by Caltrain at the Meadow Crossing. An investigation is underway, Caltrain is delayed, but cars are moving freely now. Our thoughts are with the family of the person who was struck by the train, whoever that may be (doesn't appear to be a driver or passenger of a car as none was shown by the helicopter as having been involved with the collision.

Doug Ford comments spark 'Atwood for Mayor' movement
Campaign promoting Margaret Atwood pokes fun at Fords while making pitch for libraries.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 3 photoszoom
A tiny note on a coffee house tip jar has a big message for Doug Ford.
It's the same message that's written on sidewalk chalkboards on Queen St. W. and social networks dedicated to the cause.
"Margaret Atwood for mayor of Toronto."
No, we're not in the midst of an election. And the award-winning author has expressed no interest in running for office. The cheeky campaign, which seems to have no central force, is about protecting city libraries and poking fun at the city councillor who said he would not recognize a literary icon.
Perhaps the greatest purpose of the campaign is to make sure the public has a say in how their taxpayer dollars are spent.
Atwood rallied Torontonians to fight for their libraries, after city-hired consultants KPMG suggested closing branches to save money. The avid Tweeter promoted a petition to save the city's libraries to her 225,200 followers on the social networking site, which crashed the server hosting it.
In response, Mayor Rob Ford's older brother suggested Atwood should seek elected office if she wants to influence policy.
"She's not dealing with the problem. Tell her to go run in the next election and get democratically elected. And we'd be more than happy to sit down and listen to Margaret Atwood," Doug Ford said last Tuesday.
He also said he didn't know the novelist.
"If she walked by me, I wouldn't have a clue who she is," he said.
A note went up on the tip jar at Red Rocket Coffee on Wellesley St. the next day, said barista Michael Scott.
"It's a strange statement to make. I don't think I would have finished high school without knowing Margaret Atwood," Scott said. "Not even to say that, but to proclaim it with pride, as if it would damage her reputation somehow."
More than 5,000 people have "liked" a Facebook page encouraging Atwood to run for mayor.
"So, apparently, you need to be elected to be heard," Julia Vyse posted on the page.
"This would be brilliant! And a good way to solve a lot of our problems as a city," wrote Heather Danter.
The Twitterverse is also encouraging the author to run for mayor. Users are Tweeting signs endorsing her future as a politician, including sidewalk chalkboards at a French bistro in Parkdale and a café on Queen St. W.
The "Atwood for Mayor" movement includes a greater discussion about the value of libraries, and that's evident on the author's Twitter feed.
"The local public library was the only place in the area that had AC in the summer. Fondly remember reading 3 books a visit," Lily Callahan wrote to Atwood.
Chapters Indigo is supporting the author, too. The chain is offering 30 per cent off her books across the country for any public library card holder.
"It was a tongue-in-cheek way to contribute to the dialogue and in the process it also allowed us to express our support for Canada's municipal libraries and one of Canada's most iconic writers," said Janet Eger, the chain's vice-president of public relations.

Role Models
2008 Directed by David Wain
They're about to get more than they plea-bargained for.
Two salesmen trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn't look half bad.

Danny: Can I get a large black coffee?
Barista: A what?
Danny: Large black coffee.
Barista: Do you mean a venti?
Danny: No, I mean a large.
Barista: Venti is large.
Danny: No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages.
Barista: A venti is a large coffee.
Danny: Really? Says who? Fellini? Do you accept lira or is it all euros now?
How had I never seen this before?
Predictable and cheap.
And hilarious.
Which is kind of a big deal in a comedy.
I bet if I suggested a game of Quidditch he'd cum in his pants.
While I was extremely disappointed with David Wain's last directorial effort in Wanderlust, I can honestly say that it seems his other works still hold up. Since that disappointment I've revisited with great results Childrens Hospital, Wet Hot American Summer and now Role Models. The web series and two films seem to get better with each viewing with the latter is still my favorite film of his.
Role Models is basically a coming of age film, but not one for the two kids that are in it, but rather the mid-30s cynic as all hell Gen-Xer Danny as played by Paul Rudd. What's funny is…
Wain seems to bring an unabashed earnestness and uncynical message to many of his films - something I really respond to.
I love that he takes time to develop the characters and their relationships, and that most of the comedy comes from the circumstances and mostly the delivery. It is a good thing that he has built this troupe of very talented comedians like Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Joe LoTruglio and Paul Rudd who are very reliable.
When I first saw it when it came out I wasn't as taken with it, but revisiting it now everything just clicked. I loved this film and think I'll like it more and more on rewatches. Overall it's my third favourite out of the four films of his I've seen, but that says more about Wain's career rather than the film itself.
"Fuck you Ms. Daisy."
A selfish adult's coming of age story... of course it speaks to Gen-Xers!
" What I'm trying to say is that when I get out of prison, can I hang out with your ten-year-old son?"
I laughed quite a bit the first time I saw Role Models, and that didn't change on this re-watch.
Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott play off of each other well, and their situations with their "littles" is funny stuff. The "littles" are played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Bobb'e J. Thompson both of whom are funny in their roles. We also get Elizabeth Banks in a minor role and Jane Lynch who gives a kooky performance as Sweeny the founder of Sturdy Wings.
The plot is simple as expected with a film merely looking for laughs, but it's…

Role Models brings the best out of its leads, and the rest of the cast as well. It's one of the funniest comedies in recent years,
Rating: B
Classic Lols
I love this movie so goddamn much
3.25 stars
Hilarious comedy from the team behind The State and Wet Hot American Summer. Paul Rudd can do no wrong and the movie even has McLovin.
Holy shit this was... middling. Weird tonal shifts between stupid antics with children saying fuck and Paul Rudd's relationship problems.
Ronnie: Suck it, "Reindeer Games"!
Danny: I'm not Ben Affleck.
Ronnie: You white, then you Ben Affleck.
Wheeler: You are white.
Danny: That's true, I am white.
Let's face it, Paul Rudd is the reason this movie is so funny. I love his venti speech and his pickup lines to Elizabeth Banks. When he uses the Ghostbusters catchphrase that's just amazing and can bring me to tears laughing so hard. Sean William Scott brings the energy here and some laughs when we're away from Rudd. Jane Lynch's cocaine analogies for everything is only great because of Rudd's and Scott's reaction to it. The final battle dressed as Kiss is hilarious.
Watchlist Film #1
I'm not one to rain on lightheartedness, but this movie can't make up its mind if it's going to be another cliche comedy (character loses friend/significant other but at the end does something dramatic to win them back) or a raunchy and fun flick. Rudd is the only good performance amongst the mostly bland and unoriginal cast and characters. This is far from memorable but not a total waste of time. There is some hilarious moments but not quite enough. This is just another comedy that will fade in the near future.
Could See, C+

Kenmore #15283 Electric BBQ Grill
sager66July 10, 2007
Time will tell, but the Kenmore #15283 electric BBQ grill has worked very well so far. Electric grills "are what they are" . . acceptable by some and totally unacceptable by others.
Assembly was straightforward, and the components appear to be very high quality. The maximum marking on the temperature dial indicates 570 degrees, but there is no hood thermometer to verify the actual temperature.

Laundry Room Courtesy
You go to use the laundry room washers and dryers and another tenantÂs clothes are in the machines that have stopped. What do you normally do?
In a big building? Or at a launderette?
I wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then I take their clothes out of the machine and put mine in.
If it's wet clothes, I make sure to find something to set them on or in that is clean. I will wash off the top of the washer, or maybe even put their clothes in my clothesbasket.
If it's a dryer I'm emptying, I do the "clean surface" thing, but I have also been known to fold their laundry so it won't wrinkle. And since I'm standing there, it keeps me from being bored.
I'm in an owner-occupied co-op now, and it's a small bldg, so it's not too hard to know who it is. If I were in a small rental, it would also be easy to figure out whose stuff it is. I will go call them or knock on their door. or I'll give them 20 to 30 minutes, if I have the time to spare.
Talley Sue is nicer than I am. I wait 5 minutes, mostly because there is nothing to do while waiting in a laundry room and also because the laundry room is in the basement and is really creepy.
I also put the clothes in a clean place or in the other person's laundry basket if it's there.
I don't take clothes out of the dryer before it stops, the way someone else in my old apartment building used to do. (The dryer took 45 minutes. I would go back to my apartment and set the timer for 40 minutes. I always got back to the laundry room before the dryer shut off. So when my clothes were in a damp, soggy heap on top of the dryer, it was not because I was late getting my stuff out of the dryer.)
i wait a few minutes and then take their things out.
the thing that bothers me most though, is when one person uses all the washers. I live in a 70 unit building, with only 3 washers and 3 dryers. Not enough. It drives me NUTS when someone uses all the washers at one time.
I live in a 60-unit co-op building in Manhattan. Our laundry room has only 4 washers and 4 dryers. I take their stuff out and put it on the table. I always have cleaner and paper towel in my laundry supply bag to wipe down the table, so it's going onto a clean surface. I don't wait. I'm a New Yorker. And yes, I use all 4 washers at the same time. It's insane not to; I'm supposed to leave two or three sitting empty, doubling or tripling my laundry time, in case someone HAPPENS to come in and use the washers? I don't think so.

Last week I gave the closing keynote at UX Lib: User Experience in Libraries Conference in Cambridge, UK, on creating meaningful experiences and services for library users.
I recorded my session in case you want to watch it (I'm working on a transcript). You can also find my slides on Speakerdeck, or listen to the talk on Huffduffer.
UX Lib was unlike any conference I've ever attended, and has been from the start. When I was asked to keynote, I was also put on the organizing committee (along with another of the keynoters, Paul-Jervis Heath). The idea was that we'd have a better understanding of the conference if we helped make it, and so we could create something bespoke for the event. I can say that I've never felt confortable talking about phenomenology at a library conference before, but by working with the team that created and pulled off this unique event, I knew that this was my chance. (Not that I didn't panic, even up until 15 minutes beforehand, that this talk would be a flop. I rewrote it five times in the weeks before the event.)
Thankfully, this wasn't the case. Afterward, I received the highest compliment I've ever gotten for a talk: Andy Priestner, the committee chair, told me that he was so engrossed in what in was saying, that he kept forgetting to Tweet about it. (He'll deny that, of course, but Ned Potter made the mistake of putting that in writing in the last paragraph here, so I'm satisfied.)
Of course, lots of folks did manage to tweet, and Ned Potter wrangled up a nice Storify of some representative tweets, and he did a very kind writeup of the talk on his blog. I was also fortunate that the fantasically talented conference photographer, Jamie Tilley, did an incredible job of photographing the talk (as he did for the whole conference).
Photograph by Jamie Tilley Photography
I spoke about the difference between designing for tasks and designing for experience, and how the latter often looks remarkably like the former, but with some added emphasis on the types of emotions that doing a task might cause. But life is bigger than that. Emotions aren't just the by-product of doing things, and experience is more than just emotions and tasks. By exploring a few themes—the metaphors by which we understand technology, how phenomenology can help us learn about experience, how Heidegger saw our interactions with the world—I made the case for rethinking usability from the removal of problems to desiging things that enable users to recover from the inevitable breakdowns that occur when things are used by people.
The conference was largely about immersing ourselves in UX—ethnographic research, ideation, prototyping, and selling our ideas. But one of the most amazing things that came out of UX Lib wasn't part of the official conference at all; it was a Twitter account that sprang up during the conference that helped explain UX in terms of stories that most folks are already familiar with: the world of Harry Potter. Cambridge's UX Lib was indeed a lot like @HogwartsUXLib, with the medieval buildings and grand halls and traditions. Sometimes it can be tough to talk about how UX plays out in our day-to-day work, but the genius behind @HogwartsUXLib manages to explain UX concepts like personas and ethnographic research by taking us out of our everyday and into something fantastic but familiar: the world of Hogwarts School for Withcraft and Wizardry.
The account is so good at staying in character, and not just with clever things to tweet to the world. When my pal Matt Borg and I got lost in Cambridge walking between venue spots, the best help we got was from @HogwartsUXLibs:
(In case you didn't notice, I'm suggesting that you just go follow the account on Twitter right now. Go on.)
I'm still digesting the experience of being at, participating in, speaking at, and down-right living UX Lib for a week, so there will be more to say. If you're interested in finding out more now, I have seen several wonderful write-ups for the conference. It was an experience that most of us who attended won't soon forget. (In fact, I've seen nearly as much twitter traffic today, 4 days after the conference ended, than when the conference was in full swing.) Check out these roundups (more will be added as I see them):

More from developer
Glimmer (luminous alarm clock)
This gorgeous software softly wakes you up. It turns on the screen 30 mins before the alarm with the darkest screen and increases slowly the brightness.
--- /!\ All the features of this software are usable, but an in app purchase allows you to customize everything ! (From only 1€) ---
In the middle of the process it can play birds sound, and if you didn't wake up 1 minute after alarm time, it plays a strong sound to be sure you don't miss. It also let the phone check the emails by turning the notification sound off and internet on. So when you wake up, you don't have to wait to know what's new :)
If you sleep in a dark room it really wakes you up with the light, and if the phone points at you, your wife doesn't wake up !
One more thing: This alarmclock is able to turn your phone in a "night mode" the evening, and turn back in day mode the morning. And so it shuts down the notification sound, internet, lower the brightness...
***FOR ANY BUG, PLEASE SEND ME A "BUG REPORT" (menu/bug report). THANK YOU !!***
For those who care, here is the explanation of the authorizations:
To open or close wifi, the evening or in the morning.
To turn on your phone and change the brightness of the screen, to keep the phone on.
To make the led flash light blinking at the alarm time.
To activate the software after a reboot and set up the next alarm.
To write debug logs, in developer mode.

Parks & Recreation Areas in Maine
When it comes to exploring Maine's park and recreation areas, there's only one difficult decision to make: deciding where to go first. Whether you pick a handful of small recreation areas or one or two large ones to explore, you'll love them all.
- A good place to start is exploring one of the 32 state parks here, covering half a million acres of public lands, with unique activities in each. Many begin with the 205,000 acre Baxter State Park at the base of Mount Katahdin, or the 92 miles of lakes and rivers known as the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.
- The national parks and forests of Maine are popular with millions of visitors annually, for good reason. The view out over the Atlantic Ocean and Acadia National Park from the top of Cadillac Mountain is one that will stay with you for a lifetime.
- To the west, the White Mountains National Forest is beloved by skiers in the winter and hikers in every season. The 45,000 acres of forest, along with the additional thousands of acres of ski resorts and hiking trails, makes this recreation area a true travel destination.
- Some of the best recreation in the world can be found around Maine's southern beaches. The 7 miles of oceanfront sands at Old Orchard Beach invite all sorts of activity, whether you're on a weekend trip with friends or an annual adventure with the entire family. Go surfing, ride an oceanfront roller coaster, play games at the boardwalk arcade, or just relax in the sun.
- Inland, Rangeley Lakes, Millinocket, Greenville and many other areas offer canoeing and fishing in their rivers and lakes. Find Maine hospitality at the state's many campgrounds, resorts and wilderness lodges.

Re: [USAICO] Speaking of Drug Testing
Expand Messages
- you will get notice, but (if you get it) be prepared to cater completly to them. seperate clean and sanitary room for testing, plenty of electrolyte drink mix, directions for chaperones to athletes (possibly 2 per athlete)...i a nutshell, it's a headache.
i'm all for testing, but we recently went through this with our UCI mtb race and it was a HUGE headache.

- tom,
this was a summary of what we had to do at our UCI/MTB race back in april. the biggest investment is man-power and hours towards the service.....see below.
For the Anti-Doping, you basically get a call from either USAC and/or the contracted anti-doping test company letting you know that the UCI has picked your race for testing. The company representative will send you an information packet telling you all the things that need done.
Rrom my experience of doing this for the Greenbrier race, you then need to (from the top of my head, I may miss something here),
- Find an Anti-Doping Coordinator from your volunteers, who will do the main liaison with the testing company and be present in the testing facility most of the race day, and in particular from 2 hrs before the subject race until about 2 hours after. This should be a medical type person if possible. He coordinates facilities, meeting the testers, etc.
- Obtain a set of rooms you can use that are suitable to be a Testing Facility as close to the start/finish line of the course as possible, but usually no further that about 1/2 mile away. It needs to have at least 3 different areas, 1) a large clean room where two sample stations with tables and chairs can be set up, to take blood samples and work with each athlete, 2) a waiting area that is quiet and secluded so that the athletes being tested can have privacy, 3) a private rest room that can be used for taking the urine samples. A standard park bathroom is definitely not eligible to fulfill these needs, as stated in the guidelines they will send you.
- Purchase about 4 bottles of sealed water and 6 electrolyte drinks of different kinds for each of the 10 athletes who will potentially be tested (= 100 bottles of liquid). These should be split and half placed in coolers at the finish line and half at the testing facility.
- Find 10 adult, mature volunteers as "chaperones" who will be needed to report to a training session several hours before the testing time, then report to the finish line to intercept their designated rider and stay with them until they are securely in the testing facility.
I think that's basically it. It's a big cost in time making arrangements and for many adult volunteers for several hours on race day, and a somewhat smaller cost in cash to buy supplies.

That certainly explains Apples App store.
also, store.apple.com
Oh please Applie extend this to the UK too.
My other half desperately wants a new expensive Macbook and I'd rather spend the money on beer. Do this and it would make it impossible for us to get one as there isn't an Apple store near here.
Bottoms Up!
Apple fan boys a side, you, me, and just about anyone else these days can pretty much go out and buy a computer or hand held based purely on specs from just about any manufacturer and end up with a fairly satisfying device. This scares the pants of manufactures since the premium markup (100-1000%) they've enjoyed for years tanks and end up looking like grocery store mark ups on milk. (Less than 10%)
In another 5-10 years when you can have an entire computer on a single chip, the transition to a commodity will be complete and companies like Apple, Dell, Asus, ATI, Nvidia etc that don't come up with some sort of niche service will die out and get swallowed up by the likes of Wal-Mart, Tesco, Coscos.
Apple needs some huggy love from Bubba the Big Goverment Bear.
Make it right before you make it faster.
