Couple très agréable avec qui la communication est simple et agréable. Bonne continuation.
They are a lovely family. They have taken care of the house beautifully and dialogue with them was very pleasant. I recommend them.
Britt, Sibo, and little Noah were great guests - they were very friendly and respectful. Britt was attending an academic conference in town, and they made a bit of a vacation out of it. It was so nice talking with them as they really enjoyed Toronto and their observations about the great things about the city were really interesting, particularly considering how nice we think Belgium is. They really took advantage of the wonderful weather we had and walked everywhere in the city. We'd definitely recommend them as Airbnb guests.
My experience with Britt and her family is was nothing but great!
They are very responsible and respectful of my place. They left my place very clean and organized. Awesome guests!!
Everything went super smooth with Britt, who looked after the place very well. Respectful, clean, considerate, communication was easy, so I'd recommend them as a guests for the Airbnb community, for sure! Thanks guys and we hope you stay with us again next time you're in Rio!
Britt was a really nice guest.
Britt was an awesome guest - she was super cool and polite and very clean. I highly recommend her!

Beta Gamma Sigma Turns 100, Fisher Students Celebrate
Thursday, February 21, was no ordinary day for the St. John Fisher College School of Business; it marked the 100th birthday of Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS), the International Honor Society serving business programs accredited by AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). And Fisher's BGS chapter threw a birthday party.
Amanda Scheutzow, Management major and current BGS liaison for the College, organized the event with other BGS members.
"I have been trying to increase awareness of Beta Gamma Sigma and our chapter on campus, and thought that having a mini birthday party to celebrate its centennial might help," said Scheutzow. "I wanted to remind members that this is a special day and that being a lifetime member does matter."
Faculty, staff, students, and current BGS members attended the celebration in the Campus Center Atrium. Dr. David Martin, Dean of the School of Business, and Dr. Jason Berman, Professor of Management, served as emcees and came dressed in their regalia. Each said a few words on behalf of Fisher's BGS chapter, and stressed the important significance and academic achievement that is associated with being a BGS member, and the lifetime benefits and career connections that are available to members after graduation. Additionally, they talked about some of the service projects the Fisher chapter has tackled.
A recent example Berman highlighted was when Fisher BGS members participated in a Day of Service which involved going to School No. 19 and reading stories to the students, all while dressed in Halloween costumes. According to Berman, BGS was so impressed with the service that the Fisher students displayed, they granted a $250 scholarship to the chapter. During the birthday celebration, the surprise scholarship was awarded to BGS member Katie Fandrich, an Accounting student, who was part of the winning team at the 2013 Deloitte Tax Competition.
Scheutzow finished the celebration by handing out raffle prizes, singing "Happy Birthday," and cutting the cake.
"The celebration only lasted a half hour, but its impact may be felt long afterward if we are able to reach students now and inspire their hard work and achievement," said Berman.
They had cake!
Dr. Martin addresses the birthday party crowd about Beta Gamma Sigma.

Robert Pattinson Is Not Recording an Album
Robert Pattison's rep says he's not recording an album, contrary to reports.
Robert Pattison's rep says he's not recording an album, contrary to reports.
It's been one of the most successful movie franchises in recent history and coming up November 18th you can expect a sell out on opening day/night and all the midnight showings of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1. Catch it after the jump.
'Twilight' beauty Kristen Stewart is nearly unrecognizable on the cover of W Magazine's annual Fashion Issue.
Indeed, the normally reserved 21-year-old actress is in full-on glam mode on the retro '60s cover, complete with smoky eyes, big hair and seductive pink lips. It's arguably the best she's looked in … well, maybe ever.
MTV on Thursday released a brand-new preview of the hotly anticipated wedding scene from 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part I' in which - spoiler alert! - brooding lovers Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) finally tie the knot.
"Twilight" fans have received an early treat: A new clip of the wedding between Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) has hit the Web.
In the 15-second promo from Breaking Dawn: Part 1, Bella is seen from behind walking down the aisle in the middle of the forest as Edward waits at the altar under a stunning arch of flowers.
With his television career in the toilet, Charlie Sheen has apparently turned to music to keep his celebrity status afloat.
The former 'Two and a Half Men' star, who just wrapped his ill-fated 'Violent Torpedo of Truth' tour, released a single today that features his trademarked catchphrase, 'Winning.'
Though their chemistry on 'The Golden Girls' was Emmy-worthy, Betty White is now claiming that co-star Bea Arthur wasn't a big fan of hers.
"Bea was not that fond of me," White told Joy Behar on a recent episode of 'The Joy Behar Show.' "I don't know what I ever did, I don't know. But she was not that thrilled with me."
"But I loved Bea," she added, "I admired her."
'Fast Five' kicked into high gear at the weekend box office.
The action-packed sequel, the fifth in the 'Fast and the Furious' franchise, took in a whopping $83.6 million, setting a record for the best April opening ever. (April's previous owner was fittingly 2009's 'Fast and Furious, with $71 million.)
'Fast Five's' impressive debut was more than enough to dethrone last weekend's box office champ, 'Rio,' which this week earned a steady $14.4 million, putting it past the $100 million mark.
It was another high-flying weekend at the box office for 'Rio.'
The kids' animated movie, featuring the voices of Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg, took the number one spot for the second weekend in a row, earning an impressive $28.6 million on over 3,800 screens. Since its release last weekend, the movie has grossed $81.3 million and counting.
There truly is something for everyone in the family playing in the movies this weekend. There's a great movie from Disney featuring the big cats in Africa to one of my favorite franchises from Tyler Perry, Madea! Catch all the previews after the jump.
Today's Showbiz Top 5 covers: James Cameron, Taylor Lautner, Kristin Stewart, Robert Pattinson - President Obama and Lopez and Marc Anthony - Jennifer Aniston On SNL? - Charlie Sheen Calls Himself Erron Flynn??? - Lindsay Lohan Steals A Necklace.
Watch the recap after the jump!

Tehama County 51st State of Jefferson State Split Question, Measure A (June 2014)

A Tehama County 51st State of Jefferson State Split Question was on the June 3, 2014 election ballot for voters in Tehama County, California, where it was approved.
The push towards forming a 51st state from counties in northern California and southern Oregon has been ongoing for more than half a century. Although some envision a state consisting of counties from both Oregon and California, the efforts for state splits in each state are separate and, according to Tom Knorr, chair of Tehama for State of Jefferson, counties that are able to achieve a state split from California will form a state whether they are joined by counties from Oregon or not. Knorr wrote, "California counties need to split from California, Oregon counties from Oregon. Also historical in the State of Jefferson, there is, at this time no synchronized effort between the states. If California counties manage to split they will proceed with the formation of the state."[1][2]
An important step in the state split attempt for Tehama County was staged for the June 3, 2014 election. The board of supervisors in Tehama county voted on December 3, 2013, to put an advisory question concerning a resolution calling for a state split, according to Article IV, Section 3, of the U.S. Constitution, on the ballot in order to gauge the voters' feelings toward the issue.[3]
Tehama County was the fifth county to approve a resolution calling for a state split. Siskiyou County, Modoc County, Glenn County and Yuba County all approved such measures in the past.[4]
According to Chief Administrator Williams Goodwin, putting the measure on the county ballot cost about $12,360. Goodwin said that he thought it was a cost-effective way of gathering the voter opinion regarding the Jefferson State declaration. He did recommend the county supervisors refrain from trying to sway votes one way or another, saying, "I would advise the board not to prepare an argument in favor for or against this measure if put on the ballot. The whole reason you're putting it out there is to gauge how the public feels to give you advisement as to how to move forward."[5]
The county resolution calling for the advisory vote in June referred to the similar advisory measures administered in 1992 in 27 different counties. In that election, Tehama County voters approved of a "Jefferson State" with a 75.6% majority.[6]
All five supervisors, including dissenter Burt Bundy, went on record to say that they would vote according to the will of the people on this question, even though it was only advisory in nature. Supervisor Sandy Bruce said, "My position is that I want to know the will of the people. And that is what I will follow, that is what I will do."[7]
Since this measure was approved, if a significant enough number of counties submit resolutions requesting a state split, the proposal would still require approval from state legislators and U.S. Congress. Critics of the effort, as well as those who see it is unfeasible, said it was unlikely that the state split would be approved by state and federal lawmakers, as it would further diffuse the power of each individual by adding additional representatives from the new state. Ethan Rarick, director of the Robert T. Matsui Center for Politics and Public Service at the University of California, Berkeley, said, "There is no incentive. If you're one of 100 senators you don't want to become one of 102."[8]
Similar questions were before voters in Del Norte County and Siskiyou County on the June 3 election ballot.

- Election results from Tehama County Elections Office
Text of measure
Ballot question
The question on the ballot:
Should the Tehama County Board of Supervisors adopt a Declaration of Support for the proposed separation from the State of California and formation of a new state?[7][9]
Impartial analysis
The following impartial analysis of Measure A was prepared by the office of the county counsel:[10]
Measure "A" is an advisory vote concerning Tehama County's possible support for separation from the State of California and formation of a new state. Measure "A" does not have any legal effect. Rather, Measure "A" allows the voters of Tehama County to voice their general opinion regarding whether the Board of Supervisors should adopt a Declaration of Support for the proposed separation from the State of California and formation of a new State without further analysis and development of detailed governance policies. Section 9603, subdivision (c) of the Elections Code, governing the purpose and effect of such an advisory vote, states:
". . . 'advisory vote' means an indication of general voter opinion regarding the ballot proposal. The results of the advisory vote will in no manner be controlling on the sponsoring legislative body."
The opinion expressed through the vote on this advisory Measure, while of interest to the Tehama County Board of Supervisors, is not in any manner legally controlling on the Board of Supervisors' actions.
The vote is not binding, but serves merely to help the County gauge public support for the proposed separation from the State of California and formation of a new state. The Tehama County Board of Supervisors may take whatever action it desires, or no action, regardless of the vote.
Measure "A" has been placed on the ballot by the Board of Supervisors.[9]
—Arthur J. Wylene, Tehama County Counsel
The following individuals signed the official arguments in favor of Measure A:[10]
- Tom Knorr, chair of Tehama for Jefferson State
- Robert Nance
- Chris Gagliano
- Ben Sale
- John Growney
Arguments in favor
Knorr explained the purpose behind Measure A, writing, "The root initiative is to fix rural representation, back to a constitutional model, as it was until the 1964 Reynolds vs Sims Supreme Court ruling. Communities, particularly rural communities, need to have a voice in the political process."[1]
The following official arguments were submitted in support of Measure A:[10]
Measure A, the vote to 'separate from the State of California', is step 1 of a process to cure bad law that shifted political representation from a constitutional model to the current, population center based model. California is run by the population centers, so is our country. Rural counties have no representation. By voting to separate from California you indicate to your supervisors that you want Tehama County to support this process and gain standing in a federal challenge of Reynolds vs Sims, the Supreme Court decision of 1964 that is the direct cause of this unfavorable representation model.
With your approval, WE, the people, will ask the California legislature and the US Congress to perform a US Constitution Article 4 Section 3 state split to correct our lack of representation.
If our request is denied we are being 'harmed', a specific legal condition we seek to document.
Step 2 is to challenge the Reynolds vs Sims decision, the decision that in an attempt to solve underrepresentation of fast growing population centers held that "legislators represent people, not trees or acres" and in the process created the case where rural communities have no or too little representation to offset the cities. We seek to overturn it or correct it to reflect the political representation of rural communities. A successful challenge will require a 'cure', another specific legal term. This 'cure' is to restore rural representation and with it our voice in the political process in California. It will let us regain political and regulatory control over rural California.
A 'No' vote on Measure A means that Tehama County will not support the process to seek better political presentation and will not have 'standing' in the legal process.
A 'Yes' vote will give Tehama County legal standing in the challenge and politically support the process.
There is no further action required or cost involved to the County. The challenge is driven by concerned volunteers from your community.[9]
—Tom Knorr, Robert Nance, Chris Gagliano, Ben Sale and John Growney[10]
Rebuttal to opposition
The following arguments were submitted as a rebuttal to the official arguments in opposition to Measure A:[10]
What it can bring:
Who will win:
Our children, grandchildren and future generations.[9]

Flow chart of objective
The following is a flow chart showing the goal of the Jefferson State movement and the path towards that goal:
The following individuals signed the official arguments in opposition to Measure A:[10]
- Norreene M. Rilea
- Cheryl Banwarth
- Norman Banwarth
- Beth K. Bonner
- Susanne (Sue) T. Gallagher
Arguments against
Official arguments
The following official arguments were submitted in opposition to Measure A:[10]
We recommend NO on Measure A
Politicians, lawyers– Jefferson, as the smallest state, can be corrupted cheaply or just ignored
Vote No on A[9]
—Norreene M. Rilea, Cheryl Banwarth, Norman Banwarth, Beth K. Bonner and Susanne (Sue) T. Gallagher[10]
Rebuttal to support
The following arguments were submitted as a rebuttal to the official arguments in support of Measure A:[10]
We are a country of "one person, one vote".
The 1964 Supreme Court case "Reynolds vs Sims" guarantees this.
We are a country of people, not land and business interests. Measure A serves the interest of businesses and wealthy land owners. It does not serve the middle class, who after World War II, made this country strong and vibrant.
Who gains from passage of Measure A? The wealthy and the politically powerful are the ones who benefit. As they say themselves: "It will let us regain political and regulatory control over the Northern Counties." That is politics-speak for taking more power away from those who work for a living, and for dismantling laws that level the political playing field.
It means that the power will go to the rich elite. It means that laws protecting our health and environmental heritage will be swept away like California's laws that protect us (rights to education, medical benefits, minimum wage, unemployment insurance, nutritional assistance, senior assistance, collective bargaining, worker's compensation etc.).
It means that laws protecting equal rights will all be wiped away. It means that laws protecting the right to vote will be undermined. It means that corporations will have greater opportunity to cut protected trees, pollute rivers and soil, frack, strip mine and use our lands for their profit, and if they cheat or poison us – it will be too late. Who will pay the price tag? Everyone except those that cause this disaster.[9]

Path to the ballot
County Supervisors
The following county supervisors voted to put the advisory question on the ballot. This does not necessarily mean they endorsed a "yes" vote on the question or the formation of a so-called Jefferson State, but merely that they supported putting the question to a vote of the people.[3]
- Chairman Dennis Garton
- Steve Chamblin
- Sandy Bruce
- Bob Williams
Burt Bundy, who supported Measure A and the state split resolution, was the sole dissenter when the county supervisors voted on whether or not to put the question before voters on June 3, 2014. He was not in favor of an advisory ballot question and the expense it would require because he was already prepared to vote in favor of the Declaration of Support for the proposed separation.[1]

The Crime: Armed robbery to the tune of nine million dollars
Dom Rizzi robbed a bank, stashed the money, and did the time. His family couldn't be more proud. He always was the smart one.
The Cousin: Joe Morelli
Joe Morelli, Dom Rizzi, and Dom's sister, Loretta, are cousins. Morelli is a cop, Rizzi robs banks, and Loretta is a single mother waiting tables at the firehouse. The all-American family.
The Complications: Murder, kidnapping, destruction of personal property, and acid reflux
Less than a week after Dom's release from prison, Joe Morelli has shadowy figures breaking into his house and dying in his basement. He's getting threatening messages, Loretta is kidnapped, and Dom is missing.
The Catastrophe: Moonman
Morelli hires Walter "Mooner" Dunphy, stoner and "inventor" turned crime fighter, to protect his house. Morelli can't afford a lot on a cop's salary, and Mooner will work for potatoes.
The Cupcake: Stephanie Plum
Stephanie and Morelli have a long-standing relationship that involves sex, affection, and driving each other nuts. She's a bond enforcement agent with more luck than talent, and she's involved in this bank-robbery-gone-bad disaster from day one.
The Crisis: A favor for Ranger
Security expert Carlos Manoso, street name Ranger, has a job for Stephanie that will involve night work. Morelli has his own ideas regarding Stephanie's evening activities.
The Conclusion: Only the fearless should listen to Fourteen.
Thrills, chills, and incontinence may result.
Jersey girl: listen to more in the Stephanie Plum series.
©2008 Evanovich, Inc.; (P)2008 Macmillan Audio
"Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter with a great sense of humor that balances out her attitude and worse luck...like Dorothy Parker with a lousy job and a Jersey accent." (Time)
"Evanovich's series is as addictive as Fritos...Evanovich serves up consistently craveable goodies." (People)
"More fun with Stephanie"
See, now, I don't agree that the series is getting tired, because there is alway so much character humor. I listen to the Plum series when I am exercising, it is a fun, light listening/read. I don't expect War and Peace, I expect laughter, and Evanovich never ceases to amuse me with the funny characters and their antics. I can relate to the potato canon, my son built one and I almost died laughing when he set it off and the potato probably landed on the neighboring college campus, that sucker went as high as the eye could see. What can I say, I love slapstick, even real life slapstick. I guess I simply love to laugh. I just wish her books were longer: more words, more laughs. Come on, her Jersey jokes are a hoot. And, admit it,you all want to picture Lula squeezed into a spandex wedding gown, you just know she is going to need a shoe horn to get into her dress when and if she gets married!
"sad to say..."
I just love this series, but something's got to change. It's more of the same and it's not fresh anymore. If I hadn't been trapped in a car on a 12 hour road trip, I probably wouldn't have listened to the whole book.
"hasn't impressed me"
I too have read or listened to all 14 Stephanie Plum sagas and enjoyed each and every one. yes, all the characters are back and a few more. I just haven't found this one to be the laugh out loud funny as some in the past. Rated, good not great.
"weak plot/excellent reader"
Lorelei King is a fantastic reader- I'd listen to anything she did. Her voices for these characters are wonderful.
However, the story itself was not strong. If you read Evanovich for the over-the-top funny, there was plenty of that here. But the mystery was weak. We were over two hours into a 6 1/2 hour book before it was even clear what the main mystery was. The side plot with Brenda seemed more like filler and distraction than anything.
This was enjoyable to listen to, but not the author's best offering.
I love to read and hope you do too! Audio books are great for people on the go!
"Don't Be Fooled"
I'm not sure what everyone else found so entertaining in this book. I have read every Stephanie Plum mystery (not the "Plum" books) and this was by far the worst. Absolutely nothing happens, and Evanovich just keeps recycling old cliches. The subplot between Lula and Tank was pathetic, not funny. It may be time for Stephanie to hang up her stun gun and marry Joe.
"Another great book"
I've listened to the 14 before this and they are all fantastic. Great for all ages, I would recommend this series to anyone looking to laugh!
"another Stephanie book to brighten my day"
I was glad Janet Evanovich brought one of the previous characters back. It was like meeting old nutty friend again. Lula's voice by Lorelei King is another reason to listen to this book, especially at the end of long winter day.
"Fearless Fourteen: A Stephanie Plum Novel"
awsome, pls read
yes could not wait to see what step and lulu could do next.
she is the best i wish she could read them all i love that each charcter has thier own soul..
can not wait for the next book
"another Stephanie Plum"
I always laugh so hard when I'm listening to Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels that my cats and dog think I have lost my mind. While I may have, it wasn't because of this novel. I just love all the characters and their quirks although I must admit I'm a little tired of Grandma Masur and her funeral home antics. That aside, this is an amusing addition to the Stephanie Plum library and fan will enjoy listening.
"One of my favorite writers"
I haven't read a Stephanie Plum book that I didn't enjoy. Lorelei King is the perfect reader. What's not to love?

Happy Easter!
In an effort to get beer out of my fermenter as soon a possible (and trying to avoid a secondary).
Assuming the beer is finished It seems sort of a waste to let the beer age in the fermenter. Being that I am racking to kegs it seems as if the beer would bulk age in the keg.
What do you guys think? Maybe a crash cool before racking? What do you think adding carbonation would do?
Well, a short primary is ok but there are a couple of things I'd do if it was me. The first thing is to leave it in primary at least 3-4 days after primary is finished so that the yeast can clean up the diacetyl and other things after the fermentation is over. Then I'd rack to a keg and keep it at room temperature at least a week. That will allow some aging and conditioning. Then I'd crash cool it to clear it and go ahead and force carb.
If you take it from a short primary and crash cool it then, I don't think you'd really get the benefit from the yeast "cleaning up after themselves" and it would delay the conditioning process, in my opinion.
What's the rush? Fermentation is a natural process and there's not a dang thing you can do to hurry it along.
Unfortunately, if you try to "bypass" time there are consequences. Your brew will not be done and what you do consume will taste young.
The main purpose of a secondary is for clearing. If you rack from your primary into a keg all that yeast will (eventually) fall out, but it'll be in your keg. If you tap it your first couple of glasses will be cloudy. If you attempt to move that keg at any time you will drudge up the yeast sediment and make some of the beer cloudy again.
I know there are brewers here that secondary in the keg, but I don't think they move them afterwards so I can only assume they tap in place.
My chest keezer is in the garage. I use it for lagering and keeping kegs sealed/primed w/gas. Prior to tapping them I have to lift them over the high wall, place them on the ground, close the lid and carry them to the basement to the kegerator. Any sediment I have inside is disturbed.
One way to counter this is to allow it to age and clear in the secondary which permits me to rack (nearly) clear beer. I said "nearly" because it'll never be really clear unless I filter it.
No rush at all, I just want to get my fermenter open as soon as possible. So I can put more beer in it I thought the kegs would be good vessles for ageing. Being that I have more of them.
Good points about the yeast sediment & crash cooling.
I like to do a 3 week primary then cold crash then transfer to keg. Easy fix get your self a second bucket or carboy to do another primary in. Life is to short not to have more equipment, or at least thats my story to the wife.
I can see that I need to explain myself better. First the fermenter is a conical so there is no need for a secondary. I can drain the yeast out rather than racking the beer off. (I couldn't afford this one so another is out of the question now).
I can see from the few posts above. Using the keg as secondary is probably not a good idea. Who wants cloudy beer?
I do want say that typically I don't rack my beers to the keg until about 5 weeks. I was looking to shorten that time to 2-3 weeks and age in the keg. I get yoopers point about cold crashing. Maybe the option would be to carb. naturally at room temp.
I think moving it to a keg to age would OK. I have done it 2-3 times now after a 3 week fermentaion and my beers are clear. I don't move the kegs though once they are in the fridge. Try it and see.

Neural crest-specific deletion of Ldb1 leads to cleft secondary palate with impaired palatal shelf elevation

BMC Developmental Biology 2014, 14:3 doi:10.1186/1471-213X-14-3Published: 17 January 2014
LIM domain binding protein 1 (LDB1) is a transcriptional co-factor, which interacts with multiple transcription factors and other proteins containing LIM domains. Complete inactivation of Ldb1 in mice resulted in early embryonic lethality with severe patterning defects during gastrulation. Tissue-specific deletions using a conditional knockout allele revealed additional roles of Ldb1 in the development of the central nervous system, hematopoietic system, and limbs. The goal of the current study was to determine the importance of Ldb1 function during craniofacial development in mouse embryos.
We generated tissue-specific Ldb1 mutants using Wnt1-Cre, which causes deletion of a floxed allele in the neural crest; neural crest-derived cells contribute to most of the mesenchyme of the developing face. All examined Wnt1-Cre;Ldb1fl/- mutants suffered from cleft secondary palate. Therefore, we performed a series of experiments to investigate how Ldb1 regulated palate development. First, we examined the expression of Ldb1 during normal development, and found that Ldb1 was expressed broadly in the palatal mesenchyme during early stages of palate development. Second, we compared the morphology of the developing palate in control and Ldb1 mutant embryos using sections. We found that the mutant palatal shelves had abnormally blunt appearance, and failed to elevate above the tongue at the posterior domain. An in vitro head culture experiment indicated that the elevation defect was not due to interference by the tongue. Finally, in the Ldb1 mutant palatal shelves, cell proliferation was abnormal in the anterior, and the expression of Wnt5a, Pax9 and Osr2, which regulate palatal shelf elevation, was also altered.
The function of Ldb1 in the neural crest-derived palatal mesenchyme is essential for normal morphogenesis of the secondary palate.

Fuel Misers
Use 33% less wood and 30% less coal by simply placing one of these UK manufactured Fuel Misers in your grate before adding your fuel. Suitable for open fires or multi-fuel and wood-burning stoves, they use a special material designed to reduce the amount of solid fuel required, cutting down on CO2 emissions – something we're all encouraged to do these days – and of course, using less fuel means you save money too. By spreading the heat for a more even burn, they avoid hot spots and unburnt coal or wood at the edges, plus the mesh construction will prevent smaller pieces of coal falling through the grate before being fully burnt. Fuel misers can be reused several times and are fully recyclable.
Pack of two.

I have to make a java program that when user enters 0 it should exit. no problem writing in java code.
int cmd = read();
System.out.println("got command : " + cmd);
if (cmd == 48) { // ASCII code for 0
I want to run this process using start-stop script in linux. I am also being able to do that using
& or
case "$1" in
if [ -f myfifo ]; then
rm myfifo
mkfifo myfifo
cat > myfifo &
echo $! > myfifo-cat-pid
java -jar myjar.jar >/dev/null 2>&1 0<myfifo &
echo "Started process: "$!
echo 0 > myfifo
echo "Stopped process: "
rm myfifo
My problem is as soon as i run this process it read input -1. While I want to read from stdinput when somthing is echoed to it explicitly i.e. stop is called. Simply i need a program to be closed by shell script explicitly. I have tried hard. Help me.
Edit :
I just want to close the program when user press q or any such event and dont want infinite loop in code. Any other approach like listening to other events will also help if possible. My code should not be polling for event. I have tried
Jnotify which watch a directory and rise an event when file is created or deleted in that directory. But hard luck they dont have support for SunOS. :(

I have a question about the recipe "Rhubarb Curd Shortbread" from Rivka. Does anyone have any idea how this recipe would be if James Beard's shortcake (from Genius Recipes) were substituted for the shortbread base? (With added cinnamon and cloves)?
Shortbread is a dense, butter-rich, non-leavened bread, and shortcakes are essentially a variation on pie dough -- flaky and layered. Substituting one for the other is possible, but it would yield very different results.
Thanks Nozlee, exactly what I needed to know. I may do it anyway.
In my world, shortcakes are large, slightly sweet biscuits. The Baking powder variety. not much like pie dough.

The State Worker: Caltrans' Fix50 PR team gets opening day win
Sacramento political strategist Aaron McLear's tweet and dozens of others like it on Wednesday represented a big win for Caltrans' Fix50 communications campaign.
"SkyTeam news choppers: Here's a shot of traffic in Midtown," McLear tweeted with a photo of a leafy, empty street. "U can stop circling my house now."
After nearly a year of Caltrans' warning that the W-X freeway repairs might strangle Sacramento's highway system and surface streets, the impact this week has been more like a mild springtime chest cold: a little irritating, but we're handling it.
And Caltrans couldn't be happier that its dire forecast was so far off the mark.
That's what public communication often does: Offer the worst-case scenario. Hammer it home through every medium possible. Then hammer it some more.
Then if everyone on Day One is asking, "What's the big deal?" and complaining more about traffic helicopters than hellacious traffic conditions, you've succeeded.
Caltrans has plenty of experience.
In 2008, the department convinced many drivers to avoid the I-5 project in Sacramento, just around the corner from the stretch of freeway currently under repair. And, of course, Caltrans warned drivers early and often about the 405 freeway closure in 2011 that media in Southern California dubbed "Carmageddon" and "Carpocalypse" for anticipated traffic snarls that didn't materialize.
Now it's the Fix50 project that exemplifies how the state can flex its communications muscle to alter how people get to work. Print, TV, radio, social media, highway billboards, Caltrans' electronic freeway signage – everything is in play.
Not that Caltrans gets to spike the ball. Wednesday's news that three Fix50 workers were injured on-site is a sobering reminder that the project is a dangerous construction zone. And the department now must shift its message to keep drivers from prematurely returning to their old commute habits.
"We're not letting up," Caltrans spokesman Matt Rocco said Wednesday.
Look for the department to credit commuters for adjusting, said John Williams, a Sacramento State communications professor. Officials will publicly tie the project's success with community cooperation, especially if the work gets ahead of schedule.
A cynic would say that Caltrans, with media complicity, used scare tactics to get drivers off the road. Overstate the problem. Gin up the front page and home page headlines. Cue the on-site interviews.
But consider the alternative, Williams said. What if Caltrans had predicted the W-X project wouldn't have much impact and then the street in McLear's photo jammed with commuters on Day One? News coverage and the public would have turned on the department.
"What you don't want, if you're Caltrans, is to underestimate severity," Williams said. "You damage yourself. It's easier to come back with good news."

Chess was invented in the 6th Century in India during the Gupta reign but I was wondering how chess has developed since then. All I know is that you used to have to warn your opponent if you were attacking their Queen.
Any other facts? Maybe we could play a game that involves these rules?
chess is developed for making stretegies in war and they just make plans for set a trap in the war. they do demosntration at their place through chess.
Chess Players are also good at sport tactics as they can think moves ahead
I heard that back in the day you could only moves pawns one square...even on their first move
Thanks for the thread.
Other points: the pieces had different associations as Iran was the place of origin, the "knight", "rook", "bishop" etc., were different, these have Western connotations. In Asia there were different war animals and civil/military authorities of which chess provided symbolic transference.
I wrote a piece, "The transmissibility of chess as a discipline" where I talked about the symbolic significance of the pieces and their associations, etc..
Thank you everyone for the response maybe we could as chess.com if we could try and play online! With the ancient rules.
Eleanor - the engine that drives chess.com won't let you play by the ancient rules. However, if you can find a willing opponent, I know that Shatranj, the precursor of Chess in which pieces moved as described in this thread, is playable at iggamecenter.com, a free site.
Several other historical chess variations are also available there.
Very interesting forum Eleanor. Thankyou.
I recently read a book that deals with this topic: Birth of the Chess Queen, by Marilyn Yalom. It gives the history of chess and the names of the pieces (as well as their moves) of "normal" chess, as opposed to the changes that allowed the game to go nuclear ("Queen's" chess). If you are interested in this thread, I believe you'd love this book.
it hasn't developed! ;)
I wrote a piece, "The transmissibility of chess as a discipline" where I talked about the symbolic significance of the pieces and their associations, etc..
Andy, thanks for that. Actually my article had nothing to do with psychology.
It discussed how the analytical tools of chess can be applied to other disciplines, and also talked about possible symbolic significance of the pieces and their relationships. I'm sure there have been many people who have done much better.
BTW, Krogius' book was quite good.
Sam Sloan thinks chess was invented in China. Just sayin'.
The powerful
The powerful Queen was introduce in Italy in the 17th century.I read that.
But it was wrong. Chess of the Mad Queen was introduced no later than AD 1500, and rapidly spread through Europe.

Legitimation Crisis?
Posted in 99%, Politics: US 1 Comment
Group IV Debate Is On YouTube
Coral Gables Commission Candidates Group IV debate held March 16 at 7pm, as recorded by Coral Gables TV.
News Flash: Agave Development to be Rushed Before Coral Gables Commission
Rather than the schedule I and (judging from the campaign talk) others expected, the Agave project — a big, big issue in this election — is going before the current, pre-election Commission, at a meeting on on March 25 at 1pm.1 This according to Group IV candidate Enrique Lopez who spoke at the Coral Gables candidate forum this evening.
While it's undoubtedly smart lawyering for the Agave people to try to get approval from the known quantity of a largely pro-development lineup of Commissioners, given that their project has been part of the biggest issue in this campaign (if you discount the universal demagoguing about crime) this doesn't sound at all good for local democracy.
How did the debate go? The great guys from Coral Gables TV say they'll have the whole event up on You Tube by late tomorrow, the 17th. I'll have my comments up on the whole debate soon too.

Guest Post: The Candidates and Controlled Choice, by Osamudia James
[One of the issues that has come up in the Coral Gables Commission candidates' debates is "controlled choice". Since I don't know much about it, I asked an expert, my colleague (and Coral Gables resident) Osamudia James, to write an explanation for this blog. She was kind enough to agree. -MF]
Thank you to Michael Froomkin for asking me to guest blog here about the controlled choice issue which has come up at the Coral Gables Forum candidates' debates.
Controlled choice school assignment initiatives attempt to guide or "control" student school assignments in a region while also giving parents some choice in the matter by asking them to rank their school assignment preferences. Controlled choice programs are said to maximize parental investment in the public school system—even when parents do not receive their first choice, the active selection of their second or third ranked school will encourage them to attend those schools if they are assigned them. Controlled choice programs are often used in school districts where residential segregation results in school segregation that a school district is eager to address, with the most famous controlled choice program probably being the two that were challenged before the Supreme Court in 2007.1
Not surprisingly, then, controlled choice in Coral Gables has its origins in the 1970s, when Miami-Dade was under court orders to integrate its public schools. In the late 1990s, the Miami-Dade County Public School (MDCPS) system adopted a controlled choice model under which a majority of Coral Gables parents do not have a home school dictated by where they live. Instead, parents have to rank their preferences among Coral Gables Preparatory Academy, Carver Elementary, and Sunset Elementary, and then enter a lottery that will determine their assignment.
Court supervision of desegregation and integration of Miami-Dade ended in 2001 when a federal judge concluded that the district had eradicated symptoms of the once-segregated system. Unfortunately, residential areas in Miami-Dade, including Coral Gables and neighboring Coconut Grove and South Miami, are still heavily segregated. This led to a resegregation trend in Miami-Dade public schools, just as activists predicted when opposing the release of court supervision in 2001. In fact, just last year, the Miami Herald found that tens of thousands of black and Hispanic students attend class in schools that would have been characterized as segregated during the thirty years federal courts monitored Miami-Dade's integration efforts.
In Coral Gables, demographics at the three schools reflect some racial isolation, particularly for white and black students: at Carver Elementary, 21% of students are black, and only 11% are white. In contrast, only 3% of students at Sunset Elementary are black, while 36% of the students are white. Most egregiously, 14% of students at Gables Preparatory are white, while the percentage of black students at the school is zero. As in, none.
It is against this background that the debate regarding controlled choice in Coral Gables must be considered. It is unclear what role controlled choice was playing in ensuring any kind of racial diversity in the three schools. Although the district has not been willing to share its analytical data, it is at least plausible that the lottery enabled the enrollment of students in schools other than their nearest school, and that that enrollment may have resulted in increased diversity. Carver, for example, does not benefit from the same reputation that Gables Prep and Sunset enjoy, due, in part, to the school's fluctuating letter grade, its location on the other side of US-1, and its racial composition.2 Many parents, however, reluctantly attend Carver through the lottery, only to end up loving the school and their child's educational experience there.3 Similarly, it is plausible that black students who would be assigned to Carver under a neighborhood assignment plan would have an opportunity, through the controlled choice lottery, to instead attend highly sought-after Sunset or Coral Gables Prep. Although no black students currently attend Gables Prep, it is unclear whether that is because no black students in the lottery selected the school, whether no black students were randomly assigned Gables Prep in the lottery, or whether any assigned black students subsequently transferred out of the school.
Undaunted, however, by the lack of concrete data about how a release from controlled choice might impact diversity, the Coral Gables City Commission formally requested that MDCPS release Coral Gables–the last region in Miami-Dade County where controlled choice remained in effect–from controlled choice. Under the elimination of controlled choice, new attendance boundaries would be drawn allowing students to attend one of the three school based primarily on proximity. In an attempt, however, to respond to parent concerns about the impact of the release on current assignments, the Commission also requested that currently enrolled students be "grandfathered-in" so that they remain in their currently assigned schools through graduation. In an attempt to be responsive to issues of diversity, the Commission also reaffirmed a commitment to Carver Elementary, suggesting that the school become a mini magnet for foreign language to both provide an alternative to the highly sought-after language magnet at Sunset Elementary, and ensure a neighborhood feeder for Carver Middle, Florida's top-rated middle school.
On February 26th, Coral Gables's request was reviewed by the MDCPS Attendance Boundary Committee, which voted in favor of ending controlled choice in Coral Gables, but also concluded it was without jurisdiction to approve a magnet at Carver. On March 5th, the City's request was then reviewed by the school district's Diversity, Equity and Excellence Advisory Committee, which voted against Gables's request for reasons that are not yet clear. The ultimate decision on releasing Coral Gables from controlled choice will be made in June by the full school board.
So, what does this mean for the candidates? Well, that all depends on the aspects of the controlled choice controversy on which you choose to focus.
Controversy regarding controlled choice is a perennial issue—parents often complain about the administrative hassle of entering the lottery, of not knowing until well into the summer which school they will be assigned, and about the burden of potentially having to pass a neighborhood school to attend another school across town. Candidates, therefore, might be assessed on how quickly they chose to respond to the issue this year, and on whether they did so in the appropriate matter. Although many parents are delighted that the City Commission, including incumbents Jim Cason (Mayor), and Frank Quesada (Commissioner, Group IV), decided to formally oppose controlled choice, many parents believe the process was rushed and parental notification inadequate. It was clear from some of the meetings held on the matter that the Commission was caught off guard not only by the virulence with which some parents opposed a release from control choice, but also by the (negative) racialized nature of commentary opposing a change that would force parents to attend less-white Carver. Accordingly, as a voter, I have questions about whether the incumbents properly gauged community sentiment about controlled choice (as opposed to responding to a small but vocal group of parents), and about whether they understood the larger racial context in which debates about controlled choice must necessarily take place. When assessing challengers on this metric, I might think about what their track record for more deliberative democracy is, and ask about whether they would have handled the controlled choice issue any differently.
There is also the larger issue of diversity in our schools. Although formal segregation has long been dismantled, it is no secret that enduring residential segregation in Miami leads to enduring school segregation, a reality reflected in the racial makeup of schools in the controlled choice boundary for Coral Gables. The very factor, however, that prompts school segregation is the same obstacle to its remedy—absent significant busing, the current demographic make-up of the Gables makes it difficult to ensure our neighborhood schools are appreciably integrated. MDCPS insists, for example, that the elimination of controlled choice will have no significant impact on the racial demographics of any of the three implicated schools. Such a prediction does not seem to take into account the potential increase in white flight on account of forced assignment to Carver. But even assuming the District is correct, what should Coral Gables do about diversity and inclusion in its public schools? What obligation does the Commission have to consider diversity and inclusion when making decisions that impact the school and larger community? What obligation does the Commission have to broach and discuss with its residents issues of race and class in the "city beautiful"? Ultimately, the answers to these questions will matter most to me when making my assessments; candidates who can show they understand how inequality, racial or otherwise, operates in the Gables, and who are prepared to discuss that reality with courage and clarity are the candidates who are sure to get my vote.

- The controlled choice programs in Seattle, Washington and Louisville, Kentucky were struck down by the Supreme Court because both school districts explicitly considered student race as one factor when making school assignments. The Court did sanction, however, race-conscious controlled choice programs that consider racial composition of schools when making assignments without explicit consideration of individual student race. Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, 551 U.S. 701 (2007). [↩]
- Although parents often assert that they care about academics, research suggests that even after controlling for educational programming and performance, parents use race as a primary heuristic when making schooling choices. Susan L. DeJarnatt, School Choice and the (Ir)rational Parent (2008). [↩]
- See, e.g. Christina Vega & Monique Madan, School Boundary Debate Divides Coral Gables, The Miami Herald, 2/25/15 (describing the experience of Christine Austin, a parent of a fourth-grader enrolled in an Italian immersion and gifted program at Carver Elementary, who "cried for three weeks" when she was first assigned to the school, but who now enjoys highly personalized teaching support for her child, and notes that her "perceptions changed" and that she is "happy").

Group IV Coral Gables Commission Campaign Web Sites
Frank Queseda has an active Facebook page which refers you to http://www.FrankCQuesada.com/, which forwards automatically to a campaign webpage which, as of this writing, sports on the front page the announcement that "Election Day is April 12, 2011. 00 Days until election."
Challenger Enrique Lopez's site is up and running — but beware, because clicking on that link will start a video with some pretty loud music. Plus the issues page is little more than a placeholder, although it promises more to come:
In short order, I will expand on these and others and publish them on this website and all my campaign literature so that all voters will know where I stand on the issues, my action tasks on how to address them and my commitment to seeing that happen in harmony with a majority of fellow elected officials.
We're waiting…. the first Group IV debate is this coming Monday.
Register Now for Coral Gables Chamber Candidates Forum 3/31/15
The Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce will be having a marathon candidates' forum on March 31st at the University of Miami Fieldhouse. Doors open at 5:30 with the Group IV debate at 6pm; then it's group V, and ending with the Mayoral candidates. I'm going to guess an hour each, since the event ends at 9pm.
The Chamber of Commerce candiate forum web site invites attendees to register (free) by March 27th — but I'm betting they'll let you in even if you don't RSVP.
It's unfortunate for me that the event overlaps a little with the terrific Data Privacy and Security Law Summit being held on campus all day on the 31st. Fortunately, I'm just doing the welcome at the start of the event, so I guess I can duck out at the end.

MUCH Better than the Price Suggests
By thepipe

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Central Pneumatic 23 Gauge Pin Air Nailer:
I needed a pin nailer for about 1000 LF of small, decorative base moulding. I looked at the name brands, but was put off by the price. After using this to drive several hundred pins with no malfunctions of any sort, I can tell you this is every bit as good as those brands at a fraction of their cost. As with all nailers like this, the pins themselves are virtually invisible - unlike the 18ga brads I've used for so long. Some tips with this nailer: frequently check your magazine. As another reviewer correctly noted, there is no way to tell when you've run out of pins - you will continue to unknowingly "shoot blanks". Also, make sure you have loaded the pins correctly. They are directional, so an upside-down rack of pins may be causing the poor penetration and jamming another reviewer wrote about. The only downside of this pinner: you are limited to one-inch pins. While that's fine for the small trim I'm hanging, it's not long enough for heavier trim.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Really nice inexpensive pinner!
By Joe
from Topeka, Kansas
I had been lusting after a 23 gauge pinner for some time when along came a project that just screamed out for one, a corner bookcase that "is supposed to look like it was built into the house" in 1887. So, the wife allowed this purchase and I could not be happier! Two criticisms though. Like any nail gun, you don't know when you're out of nails, and the gun sounds the same if its shooting a nail or nothing...And, more importantly, if the dial is set wrong and you put in too short a slug of pins, they can get lost inside the magazine. Other wise, a really good reliable product, with no jams or difficulties over about 700 pins so far. Have recommended this already as an inexpensive alternative to name brands.

Just Purchased, Tested, Works Good
By tmhgator
from Omaha, NE
It would not fire my 1/2 pins right away, must have been something blocking from the factory that eventually got spit out. Once it started firing, it sunk the pins perfectly in the 2X4 I was testing it on. I shot about 50 pins and it worked flawlessly once it got going.
Substitute Nailer
By Dave
from Sandston, Va
Received this nailer today and was not happy that HF sub this nailer for the top feeder. The depth gauge seems to be in mm so I'll have to figure that one out. Hope to write a longer review when I actually use the thing.
Worthless do not buy
By Jaws
from Dayton, ohio
This is a poorly designed piece of junk. The bar that drives the pins forward does not extend the full length of even 5/8" pins. The feed bar pushes the pins forward at the top but not the bottom of the pin. So the pins do not sit flush against the drive face and do not get pushed out by the drive bar. It will shoot 2-4 in a row and than miss 4-5 in a row.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
