Land's End: Stagnaro's keeps the tradition of true seafood restaurants alive in a most-favored location on the Santa Cruz Wharf.
Winter on The Wharf
A landmark fish house delivers fresh catches of the day out on the ever-atmospheric Santa Cruz Wharf
By Christina Waters
AS WE SLID into one of those supercomfy booths with a view, I noticed that Di's jacket and eyes exactly matched the upholstery. Sky blue. More precisely, marine blue. We were, after all, at Stagnaro's at the end of the Santa Cruz Wharf.
The old wooden wainscoting, those polished brass portholes, the windows overlooking the Boardwalk, the waves and Steamers--Stagnaro's offered the same seafood restaurant atmosphere it had when I was a kid. My grandparents would take us to the wharf, where we'd feed the seagulls, squeal as the wind and spray blew our hair into glorious chaos and, of course, gawk at those huge silvery fish on their beds of crushed ice.
The big deal, when I was a kid, was swilling Stagnaro's clam chowder and shrimp cocktails. The clam chowder still carries its weight, we discovered happily as we struggled not to fill up on chewy sourdough rolls with butter.
Glasses of good wine--a Byron Chardonnay ($6.50) and a nicely structured Kenwood Merlot ($6)--helped take the chill off the evening. So did the warm service and gracious vibes. There's nothing designer or trendy about Stagnaro's, which for me is about as close to an authentic seafood house as this town has to offer.
Dozens of favorite seafoods are available, simply grilled or charbroiled, or orchestrated into a variety of cioppinos and pasta specialties. The fresh local halibut caught our eye ($13.95). "Fresh" and "local"--those are two magic and very important words when it comes to ordering fish. An order of broiled sea scallops--also fresh--tempted me ($15.95). And I took the bait. But first, we shared an order of moist Maryland crab cakes ($9.95) and enjoyed the soup and salads that we'd chosen to go with our entrees.
Those rolls were mighty fine, we both admitted, especially with a cup of thyme-intensive, very creamy clam chowder. Textbook actually, this fragrantly warming soup was loaded with tender, tasty clams. Not bland, gummy clams, but the satiny kind that give clam chowder's reputation its staying power.
My salad provided a pretty array of tender greens, including oak leaf and arugula, as well as julienned carrots and threads of brilliant purple cabbage. The oil and vinegar arrived, as requested, on the side, so I dressed the salad according to my own taste, as they do in Italy.
Next came two steaming plates swelling with aromatic entrees. A substantial wedge of alabaster halibut, crisscrossed from the grill, came with a baked potato and a colorful side of al dente broccoli, cauliflower (I love this underused vegetable) and carrots. Tiny pots of cocktail and tartar sauce were provided, as well as plenty of lemon wedges. The dish was exactly what was wanted--true flavors of the sea, consumed in a wraparound sanctuary suspended over the waves.
Talk about culinary poetry. My lavish portion of plump sea scallops, dusted with pepper and spices and broiled just to the point of medium rarity, was delicious. The mixed vegetables on my plate were joined by a field of better-than-average pilaf of mixed rices, some long grain, some wild--very seafood house and completely satisfying.
I thought of all the times I've looked out at those waves swirling under the wharf lights, catching glimpses of a sudden soaring gull. It is sustaining at some very deep psychic level to have continuity with a place. The wharf has that particular magic and repays our visits, no matter what our age or mood.
Desserts were appropriately baroque. A silken triangle of cappuccino cheesecake was thickly frosted with pure chocolate ganache. And three layers of plush, authentic German chocolate cake kept my fork busy and my taste buds in ecstasy (both $3.50). Fresh fish, beautiful desserts and the indigo rise and fall of the waves outside our huge windows--Stagnaro's lives up to its considerable reputation.

State highway
State highway, state road, or state route (and the equivalent provincial highway, provincial road, or provincial route) can refer to several different concepts:
- In a country that is composed of states (e.g. Australia, India, Mexico, and the United States) or provinces (e.g. Canada and China), a "state route" usually refers to either a road numbered by the state or province, falling below numbered national highways in the hierarchy (route numbers are used to aid navigation, and may or may not indicate ownership or maintenance); or a road maintained by the state or province, including both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, state highway may be used for one meaning and state road or state route for the other.
- In some countries such as New Zealand, the word "state" is used in its sense of a nation. By this meaning a state highway is a road maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities.
National usage[edit]
Australia's State Route system covers urban and inter-regional routes that are not included in the National Route or the National Highway systems. These routes are marked with a blue shield. Sometimes a state route may be formed when a former national route is decommissioned.
Most states and territories have introduced an alphanumeric route numbering system, either completely or partially replacing the previous systems.
Brazil is another country that is divided into States and has state highways.
Canada is divided into provinces and as such has Provincial Highways.
Italy's Strade Statali extend for some 18,000 km, overseen by the Azienda Nazionale Autonoma delle Strade (ANAS) founded in 1946, replacing the A.A.S.S. (Azienda Autonoma delle Strade Statali) of 1928.
State highways in India are numbered highways that are laid and maintained by state governments.
Mexico's State Highway System is a system of urban and state routes constructed and maintained by each Mexican state. The main purpose of the state networks is to serve as a feeder system to the federal highway system. All states except the Federal District operate a road network. Each state marks these routes with a white shield containing the abbreviated name of the state plus the route number.
New Zealand[edit]
New Zealand state highways are national highways – the word "state" in this sense means "government" or "public" (as in state housing and state schools), not a division of a country.
New Zealand's state highway system is a nationwide network of roads covering the North Island and the South Island. As of 2006, just under 100 roads have a "State Highway" designation. The New Zealand Transport Agency administers them. The speed limit for most state highways is 100 km/h, with reductions when one passes through a densely populated area.
The highways in New Zealand were originally designated on a two-tier system, national (SH 1–8) and provincial, with national highways having a higher standard and funding priorities. Now all of them are state highways, and the network consists of SH 1 running the length of both main islands, SH 2–5 and 10–58 in the North Island, and SH 6–8 and 60–99 in the South Island. National and provincial highways are numbered approximately north to south. State Highway 1 runs the length of both islands.
United States[edit]
State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways (for example, State Route 99 in California, which links many of the cities of the Central Valley, Route 128 in Massachusetts, Ronald Reagan/Cross County Highway (State Route 126) in Cincinnati, or parts of Route 101 in New Hampshire). Each state has its own system for numbering and its own marker. The default marker is a white circle containing a black sans serif number (often inscribed in a black square or slightly rounded square), according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). However each state is free to choose a different marker, and most states have. States may choose a design theme relevant to its state to distinguish state route markers from interstate, county, or municipal route markers.

From its first generation of refrigerators and freezers, Concepcion Durables became a shining testament to Filipino design and ingenuity, as it created products that became symbols of quality and durability. And because it is Filipino, Condura knew how to meet the demands and tastes of Filipino consumers.
Slowly but surely, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Concepcion Industries, Inc. made its way to the top, beating other globally-renowned brands in the local market.
"Condura's current success locally can be attributed to hands-on owner involvement, attention to detail and a passion for excellence shared by everyone in the organization from the top down, as well as good product innovation as a result of investing One Billion Pesos in R&D. Most of all, it is the consumer trust which got us to where we are, this can only be earned by delivering products of good quality and extending good after sales support," says Condura Vice Chairman, Renna Hechanova Angeles.
After having proven its edge, Condura is now ready to conquer the global market with an even greater vision. Brimming with renewed energy and creativity, the company proudly faces the world with a new look that aptly represents the promise of new directions that Condura will be taking as it steps out into the global market.
In celebration of its 25thanniversary, Condura introduces its new logo. It is hailed as an evolutionary design that still keeps its links to its rich heritage, yet maintains the strong, bold and modern elements such as the red color scheme and the striped pattern. It's a new look that's expected to stand toe-to-toe with the world's most-loved brands, and at the same time exude that fresh appeal for a younger audience and dynamism that would be appreciated by buyers all over the globe."Because of our focus and specialization, we have successfully edged out our foreign competitors here in the Philippines, so it's only a matter of time before we can do the same abroad," asserts Condura President and COO Ton Concepcion.
"In our generation, we can't just think and confine ourselves within our borders," he adds. "We must make our brand regional and global. All our Asian neighbors are growing fast, and it's high time we jump in on the race. After all, we know that we have what it takes to compete globally."
Condura also proudly marks the quarter-century milestone by introducing two all-new lines of refrigerators --- the fifth generation Condura Negosyo series and the Negosyo Style series, both designed specifically for those who want to use their refrigerators for business but still have a great- looking home appliance.
The Condura Negosyo 5G (fifth generation) Series, and the Negosyo Style Series, the only refrigerators built for business, brandish several upgrades that afford its Pinoy Negosyante owners the opportunity to make money and save money.
The most spacious in the market, the Condura Negosyo Refrigerators boasts of up to three times more freezer space, two times more chiller space and 14 storage combinations! Powered by a negosyo compressor, they are low on electricity consumption. The Condura Negosyo Refrigerators are up to 100% more energy efficient than a no-frost household refrigerator. And they're the only refrigerator brand with warranty that is valid for negosyo use, giving priceless peace of mind to business owners.
The freezers are equipped with 4D Surround Freeze Technology which allows faster cooling. It also retains the coldness longer, which comes in handy during brown-outs. Other new features include a really hip bluish-white cabinet interior for a cleaner look, energy-saving LED interior light, and additional ice tray racks and ice buckets. All these can be summed up in 4 M's – malamig (cool), matibay (durable), malaki(big storage), and matipid (economical). Truly a wise investment!
The Condura Negosyo 5G Series comes in single door, two-door and freezer variants, while the all-new Condura Negosyo Style Series offers single door and two-door options in dragon red, pristine white, satin cream, and silver chic colors. Prices start at P10,995.

video processing - languages and libraries?
I am not sure if this fits in this forum, but here goes... I am looking for a programming language that would suit development of an application that could process video feeds for motion detection and object recognition. Would like to have this running on a Linux platform, and trying to keep it as open-source as possible. I have experience with Java so that would be my preference. I have briefly looked into some Java graphic libraries, JMF being the default but is no longer maintained. Have also looked into Xuggle, GStreamer and v4l4j.
C/C++ tends be more efficient, so I guess would Java be suitable for video processing? If Java is not the way to go please let me know what you would suggest or have used in the past.
I have seen one example app called Motion, this was developed using C and the video4linux interface.
I dont want to start a technology debate, just any ideas would be appreciated, either comments on languages you have used, API/libraries that were useful in particular with motion detection, video and image manipulation capabilities.

Ah yes, just because I choose to be vulgar I'm always going to be wrong? I like many others told them what we didn't like ever since the first preview images of Gnome3, at this point I at least couldn't possibly have any more contempt for them.
What they should have done if they where going to make something so single task/tablet oriented was to make it a separate affiliated project and treated "fallback mode" as a direct drop in replacement for Gnome2 to be kept on as the default UI for everyone. Things like hiding the power button are just proof of how asinine their decision making process is, as if nobody ever has to power off their machine for any reason? Do they think that nobody that uses Gnome will ever have to upgrade hardware or even just need to move their machine to a different room?
If they wanted to do something "new and innovative" they should have bucked the trend of dumbing down everything to the point that even non geek users don't like it and instead focused on improving what they already had.
And don't bother saying "well if you hate shell so much just use fallback" because Fallback doesn't work and is only temporary. Those of use that are so vocal about Gnome2 are so because we actually liked using it, personally I've tried XFCE, KDE, LXDE, Enlightenment, IceWM, FluxBox and Unity, the only one of those I liked using was KDE, but only before KDE4, everything else either gets in the way or is incomplete.

Diplomatic Revolution
The Diplomatic Revolution of 1756 was the reversal of longstanding alliances in Europe between the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War; the shift has also been known as "the great change of partners". The essence of the revolution was that Britain and Austria versus France and Prussia became France and Austria versus Britain and Prussia. It was part of the stately quadrille which saw a constantly shifting pattern of alliances throughout the 18th century.
The diplomatic change was triggered by a separation of interests between Austria, Britain, and France. The Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle after the War of the Austrian Succession in 1748 left Austria aware of the high price it paid in having Britain as an ally. Maria Theresa of Austria had defended her claim to the Habsburg throne and had her husband, Francis Stephen, crowned Emperor in 1741, but she had been forced to relinquish valuable territory in the process. Under British diplomatic pressure, Maria Theresa had given up most of Lombardy and occupied Bavaria. The British further forced her to cede Parma to Spain, and more importantly, abandon the valuable state of Silesia to Prussian occupation. During the war, Frederick II ("the Great") of Prussia had seized Silesia, one of the Bohemian crown lands. This acquisition had further advanced Prussia as a great European power, which now posed an increasing threat to Austria's German lands, and to Central Europe as a whole. The growth of Prussian power, though dangerous to Austria, was welcomed by the British who saw it as a means of balancing French power.
Westminster Convention[edit]
The results of the War of Austrian Succession were clear: Britain no longer viewed Austria as powerful enough to check French power and was thus content to build up smaller states like Prussia. Therefore, Britain and Prussia in the Westminster Convention (16 January 1756) agreed that Britain would not aid Austria in a renewed conflict for Silesia as long as Prussia agreed to protect Hanover from France. Protection of Hanover was important to Britain because it was a possession of their king. Britain felt that, given Prussia's growing strength, it would be more apt to defend Hanover than Austria. Meanwhile, Austria was determined to reclaim Silesia, so the two allies found themselves with conflicting interests. Maria Theresa, recognizing the futility of renewed alliance with Britain, thus set out to align Austria with France, who could replace Britain as a valuable ally. Maria Theresa knew that, without a powerful ally such as France, she could never hope to reclaim Silesia from Frederick.
The agreement was followed by a more direct Anglo-Prussian Convention in 1758.
First Treaty of Versailles[edit]
Maria Theresa sent her foreign policy minister, Count Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz, to France to secure an alliance that would enable Austria to reclaim Silesia. Kaunitz approached Marquise de Pompadour, Louis XV's mistress to intervene in the negotiations.[1] However, Louis XV of France proved reluctant to agree to any treaty presented by Kaunitz. Only with renewed aggression between France and Britain was Louis coerced to align with Austria. Furthermore, Austria no longer surrounded France; instead, Frederick II had managed to end the prospect of Habsburg-German dominion bordering French lands. Therefore, France no longer saw Austria as an immediate threat and entered into a defensive alliance with Austria. In response to the Westminster Convention, Louis XV's ministers and Kaunitz concluded the First Treaty of Versailles (1 May 1756), both sides agreeing to remain neutral and provide 24,000 troops should either one get into conflict with a third party.
Second Treaty of Versailles[edit]
Maria Theresa's diplomats, after securing French neutrality, actively began to establish an anti-Prussian coalition. Austria's actions alerted Frederick II, who decided to strike first by invading Saxony, commencing the Seven Years' War (1756–1763). Frederick's actions were meant to scare Russia out of supporting Austria (the two countries had previously entered into a defensive alliance in 1746). However, by invading Saxony, Frederick had only inflamed his enemies and Russia, under the direction of Empress Elizabeth, sent an additional 80,000 troops to Austria. One year after the signing of the First Treaty of Versailles, France and Austria signed a new offensive alliance on 1 May 1757. In the Second Treaty of Versailles Austria promised France the Austrian Netherlands, but in return Maria Theresa would receive Parma as well as 129,000 French troops and the promise of 12 million livres every year until Silesia was returned to Austria.
As a result of this diplomatic revolution, Britain and Prussia faced Austria, France, and Russia. Despite this reversal of alliances, however, the basic antagonisms remained: Prussia versus Austria and Britain versus France. All these tensions erupted during the Seven Years' War, to which the Diplomatic Revolution is considered a prelude.

Far From Savory Dock
HECTOR SCHECHNER, FATHER MARTIN TARTAN and I have been taking lots of drugs in a crappy hotel in Amersterdam or Wellington. The confusion as to our whereabouts is partly due to our having taken lots of drugs before we got to our hotel, before we got to the airport, and before we got in the cab that took us to Burbank, Long Beach or LAX.
The phone book on the nightstand here says Wellington, but everything else is in Dutch. We arrived this morning after a layover in London or Honolulu. Schechner and Father Tartan are on a six-week tour of churches and comedy clubs in Western Europe or New Zealand and Australia, beginning here, tonight, in Amersterdam (or Wellington) and concluding in Dublin or Sydney. As Schechner's authorized biographer, I'm the roadie.
Wherever we are, it seems to be the third floor of some hotel. I suppose we'll have it figured out by 8 p.m. local time, when Tartan opens for Schechner at Wellington's Comedy Underground at Bar Bodega on Ghuznee Street or the English Reformed Church at Begijnhof 48, Amsterdam.
Father Tartan's a very large man — 2 yards high and 1 across — who normally eschews air travel, owing to the inevitable overabundance of 7-year-olds of all ages, boarding and unboarding, making snickering comments about his girth. Look at the fat fatso who's so fat that he's fat. How fat is all that fat, fatso, with all the fat, and heh-heh-heh. Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. This is Tartan's first tour abroad since 1985; apparently it's paying enough to offset the emotional cost.
Back at Savory Dock, Tartan's semi-isolated cabin on Lake Shelbyville, Illinois, Tartan gets around in a 1959 Nash Metropolitan, the only car he's ever owned. Doesn't use it much anymore — mostly just on Saturdays, when he heads into Shelbyville to drink beer at T-Mac's Lounge. The rest of the week he spends fishing, masturbating and writing banter routines for broadcast journalists and corporate-circuit comedians.
FOR THE PAST FIVE MINUTES or hours, Schechner's been pacing and rambling about all the government-sponsored wiretappings, bombings and other religious projects. Father Tartan's out buying panatelas, to add nicotine to a collection of toxic alkaloids, psychoactive chemical compounds, glandular extracts and herbal remedies that surely rivals the most revered caches of Raoul Duke: diazepam, lorazepam, cocaine, clonazepam, alprazolam, lisinopril, adrenochrome semicarbazone, methylphenidate, oxycodone, processed sugar, sertraline, bupropion, cephalexin, meclizine, benzedrine, hydroxyzine, methylprednisolone, marijuana, mushrooms, mescaline, LSD, Lipitor and Dilaudid. No telling when he'll be back.
Schechner seems pretty happy. "Not in a good way, of course," he says, "but you've got to admit it's exciting. If you're a Christian, at this point you must be convinced that Bush is the Antichrist. If you're a bomb salesman, you must be sporting some serious wood. And if you're anyone else, you must be pretty goddamn tired of the whole thing. More?"
"Sure." Coffee, he means. Schechner's offspring, Carlos and Olivia, run a coffeehouse in Las Pulgas Beach. When traveling, he always packs a few pounds in his carry-on. And a high-tech portable espresso machine.
The door opens. Father Tartan enters in a cloud of smoke.
"And why the hell not?" shouts Schechner.
"Why the hell not what?" says Tartan.
"Did you find out where we are?"
"Was I supposed to?"
But at least now we have cigars.
IT'S A VERY NICE HOTEL, for a shitty hotel, if you're on drugs. Tartan and Schechner have known each other since the early '60s, before Tartan dropped out of standup to become a licensed associate of God, via divinity school at Seton Hall.
Schechner's into his 70s now, and Tartan's more like 80. Not that it's my place to judge, but I think they take too many drugs. I can't help bringing it up.
"Nonsense," they reply in unison, in harmony, in defense, with identical, almost cultlike intonations. It's a set routine. Schechner turns to Tartan. Tartan lifts his massive shoulders in a slo-mo shrug that pulls a roll of gut up and over his belt line, audibly, and delivers the next line, to me: "What about Bela Lugosi?"
"What about him?"
Schechner's line: "Lugosi was a junkie for 15 years. Then he finally kicked it in rehab, and died."
"Yeah, but lots of people die," I point out.
"What are you?" says Tartan. "One of those compulsive survivalists?"
THE FOCUS OF TARTAN'S RECENT "sermonperformances," as he calls them — sairre-mon-pair-for-MHAWnss — is his purportedly compelling theory that President Bush is the Christian Messiah, sent back from His Easter Vacation to save the world by redressing His Father's neglect. It's a 40-minute show called "The Glory of Jesus in 2008 With Father Martin Tartan."
In the States, Tartan somehow maintains a more or less evenly mixed audience of religious psychotics and agnostic psychotics. Split down the aisle, each among his own, family of the bride, family of the groom, each side trying to exceed the other's volume. How his stuff will go over with Kiwi or Dutch audiences who are paying top dollar to see Schechner . . . we'll know soon enough.
"LIKE I WAS TELLING KEN RUBAY," says Tartan, now sitting cross-legged on the floor beside the bed, tossing back another dry gram of psilocybin mushrooms with 28 grams of Lagavulin single-malt scotch stirred into 8 ounces of tepid espresso, "the Good Book says that the president can spy on whomever he wants. He's the Messiah, moron."
"Who's Ken Rubay?" says Schechner, who's doing some kind of mime routine at the window. "My grandfather?"
"No," says Tartan. "The guy who runs the cigar shop."
"Which cigar shop?" Schechner hurls an ashtray, which lands harmlessly in Tartan's enormous gut. They laugh until Schechner passes out on the floor. Tartan rises and, with much ceremony, extracts a battery-powered, rotary nose-hair trimmer from his carry-on and heads for the bathroom. "I take drugs," he shouts over the grinding whir, "because the Messiah has an IQ of 50."
I figure I should probably get back to my room. "I should get back to my room." So I can write this down. "I should probably go write this down."
Tartan waves me off.
Schechner lifts his head. "My grandfather still beats us telekinetically," he says, "from the grave." And he passes out again.

With the aptly named Almond (don't even think of bringing up the Almond Joy bit--coconut is Almond's kryptonite), obsession is putting it mildly. Almond loves candy like no other man in America. To wit: the author has "three to seven pounds" of candy in his house at all times. And then there's the Kit Kat Darks incident; Almond has a case of the short-lived confection squirreled away in an undisclosed warehouse. "I had decided to write about candy because I assumed it would be fun and frivolous and distracting," confesses Almond. "It would allow me to reconnect to the single, untarnished pleasure of my childhood. But, of course, there are no untarnished pleasures. That is only something the admen of our time would like us to believe." Almond's bittersweet nostalgia is balanced by a fiercely independent spirit--the same underdog quality on display by the small candy makers whose entire existence (and livelihood) is forever shadowed by the Big Three: Hershey's, Mars, and Nestle.
Almond possesses an original, heartfelt, passionate voice; a writer brave enough to express sheer joy. Early on his tour he becomes entranced with that candy factory staple, the "enrober"--imagine an industrial-size version of the glaze waterfall on the production line at your local Krispy Kreme, but oozing chocolate--dubbing it "the money shot of candy production." And while he writes about candy with the sensibilities of a serious food critic (complimenting his beloved Kit Kat Dark for its "dignified sheen," "puddinglike creaminess," "coffee overtones," and "slightly cloying wafer") words like "nutmeats" and "rack fees" send him into an adolescent twitter.

Blue Sphere Media is inspired by the oceans' natural wonders. The oceans dominate the majority of the earth's surface, yet we still know so little about them. A relatively small percentage of the population has had the opportunity to explore and appreciate this hidden world. As a result, most people are ignorant of the thriving and fragile ecosystems that exist below the surface. This ignorance has enabled wide-spread exploitation and destruction of the ocean habitats to continue unchecked.

It's also easy to traverse right from the top of this climb and then rappel off the anchors for the bolted off-width climb that hide under the pine tree. The route is a little sandy, but with more traffic it would be great! Also, if a set of anchors were installed, it would get climbed more because as of now it is inconvenient to clean.... |

Pretty much the entire book could count, but there are definitely some moments that stand out.
* The Five and a Half Minute Hallway gives a taste of the freakiness that is to come.
* Any scene involving people exploring the house.
** ''Especially'' Navidson's final excursion. [[spoiler:He goes in on a bike, and ends up on a steady downhill slope. After going downhill for a day, he turns around... and starts going downhill again. Every time he tries to go some other direction, he starts going downhill. It gets worse after that. Much, much worse.]]
* Johnnie and the pekinese.
* Any of Johnny's hallucinations.
* Navidson's nightmares about people stuck in limbo. There's this well, with all these people around it, too scared to jump in. Because if you've been good in life, then you get transported to heaven. But if you were a sinner, then you just [[AndIMustScream sink deeper and deeper into the darkness for all of eternity.]]
* The first time you encounter pages with seriously odd formatting.
* 'forgivemeforgiveme'.
* Johnny describing how you should not turn around. Just focus on the words.
* The image of a book tumbling off the edge of a bookshelf. It shouldn't be possible to make something that innocuous frightening.
* The scene where the house actually starts trying to kill the occupants. All this time, it had just been a static anomaly, safely locked away... then suddenly it isn't. Especially the description of how the ashy black color from inside the labyrinth creeps across the previously normal walls of the house like ink spilling across a page.
* [[spoiler: The thing that lives inside the labyrinth. Accurately described as a "minotaur".]] It is formless, shapeless, soundless, senseless and mindless. It can be anywhere, at anytime, so long as one thing is done: [[spoiler: Someone reads about the house.]]
* The part where everything the house ''doesn't'' have is described. For best results, picture it as a [[MadnessMantra rant coming from someone who has COMPLETELY lost their mind]]. Then while the format of the book changes to make it into a literal textual labyrinth, pretend that the rant is still being spoken in the background while you're reading the other scenes. Or that they keep alternating. And then... "Picture that. In your dreams."
* The word "house" itself in the black-and-white edition. In this edition there is only one understated PaintingTheMedium effect, and it's more effective than the more colourful ones sound to be. The word is always printed in grey and is randomly slightly displaced from the row of text in some direction by less than a millimetre, except when it randomly isn't. It varies page by page. Maybe that's even just a technical problem they were having with the different colour, but it works. Eventually you cringe every time you see the word. It really goes with the theme of how eldritch and uncanny the House is.
* The descriptions of the events that had Johnny's mother sent to Whalestoe are fairly disturbing. The Pelafina letters, however, are terribly spot on for mental illness.
** The secret message in one of the letters, if you decode it.
* Johnny's attack in the tattoo parlor, where he panics, seizes up and loses his ability to breathe, afterward finding ten finger marks on his throat. Scary, but only becomes real HONF when [[spoiler:you find out later in the Whalestoe letters that his mother tried to strangle him as an infant, and for whatever reason the sensation has repeated itself years later.]] Or alternatively, it can be just as creepy if [[spoiler: he'd lost it so badly that he'd literally been strangling himself with his own hands, in a re-creation of that event, without even realizing it]].
* Johnny doesn't become aware until well into the novel that he is looking more dishevelled and crazy the more he obsesses over the manuscript, neglecting himself so much that his teeth start to rot by the end of the book.
* The sections where Johnny starts analyzing ''[[FictionalDocument The Navidson Record]]'' a bit too deeply and [[spoiler:begins to believe he's being stalked by a monster "so quiet... you can only hear it as silence" and whose presence is completely undetectable until it rips your throat out.]] He then implies that [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou anyone else]] who reads the book will encounter it as well. It manages to turn the image of a simple house into something truly terrifying. And then there's the [[BiggerOnTheInside infinite physically-impossible labyrinth]] inhabited by nothing but a disembodied growl.
** For some reason the [[spoiler: the black square]] was one of the scariest things about the book. That and [[spoiler:"Picture that. In your dreams."]], because it seemed like Zampano was speaking directly to the reader.
* Holloway's last recording. It's disturbing to see (or read a description of) a tape of a man who ''knows'' he's about to die, and who's trapped all alone in a cold, dark, endless labyrinth haunted by an unseen unknowable monster.
* When the characters discover that objects left behind in the labyrinth will get nibbled away by ''something'' over a period of a few days. And it's not like they neatly vanish they get torn up and shredded, like they were savaged by some creature.
* The De La Warr account, particularly the fact that a) the labyrinth's staircase existed back in the 1600s, b) the whole meadow above the labyrinth was cursed by the house's influence, with the men describing it as icy, barren, and inducing nightmares in them, and c) only two of the three men's bodies were recovered. What happened to the third guy?

Rodin, Andrei (2008) Did Lobachevsky have a model of his Imaginary geometry? [Preprint]
There is a more recent version of this item available. |
| PDF Download (177Kb) | Preview |
Lobachevsky's Imaginary geometry in its original form involved an extension of rather than a radical departure from Euclidean intuition. It wasn't anything like a formal theory in Hilbert's sense and hence didn't require anything like a model. However, rather surprisingly, Lobachevsky uses what in modern terms can be called a non-standard model of Euclidean plane, namely as a specific surface (a horisphere) in a Hyperbolic space. In this paper I critically review some popular accounts of the discovery of Non-Euclidean geometries and suggest a revision of the epistemic view on the issue dating back to Hilbert's Grundlagen.

Adobe rolls out fix for InDesign crashing bug
Adobe on Monday issued a ZIP file complete with instructions to manually fix an API bug that would crash the company's InDesign professional layout software on Intel Ivy Bridge-equipped MacBooks.The fix comes less than a week after Adobe acknowledged a problem with its program and Apple's OS X 10.7.4 which comes pre-installed on all 2012 MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs. According to a user support forum thread started in mid-June, the issue can be traced back to an API that handled InDesign's system icons which was removed in the latest update to OS X.
As noted by MacNN, the problem caused blank dialogue boxes to pop up as InDesign failed to retrieve the correct icon assets which in turn crashed the program.
It appears that the issue is confined to mid-2012 MacBooks that have "MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Software Update" installed. Previous to Monday's response some users created a workaround by rolling back the machine's operating system to factory defaults.
From Adobe's InDesign Help webpage:
InDesign Crashes with Blank Dialog Boxes on MacOS 10.7.4
"When working within InDesign or InCopy CS5 or later on a 2012 MacOS system, you receive a blank warning dialog box that causes the application to crash when performing certain functions.
Additional Information
The latest update for MacOS has removed an API file that InDesign uses to work with system icons. By placing the files directly within the applications we are working around the function the API served.
Adobe is working closely with Apple on both their current and future OS releases to resolve this issue in a more comprehensive manner.
Adobe's pseudo-patch involves the running of a script that installs three InDesign icons automatically or, for cases where the script does not run, a manual installation of the files directly into the application's resources folder.
Both the script and the manually-installable files can be found through Adobe's webpage.

@stinkyjim:The cache part I understand, but "restarting your computer" really? Do you work on tech support...? :PI had already cleared my cache, but a browser doesn't even cache a 500 page (at least it shouldn't)...It seems AG is having problems with all MMO's, not just TLS.

dc.description.abstract | The addition of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms represented a fundamental shift in Canadian governance. Many saw the tabling of such a document as a further, even fmal, step towards the Americanization of the Canadian polity. While the Charter's presence has significantly altered the relationship between citizens, government and the courts, it has done so by maintaining the traditional values and experiences that has been the hallmarks of Canadian constitutionalism. This is in contrast to the fears harboured by critics suggesting that the Charter was a further Americanization of the Canadian Polity, notwithstanding the very different natures of the American Bill of Rights and the Canadian Charter. Analyzing American Supreme Court precedent use by the Canadian Supreme Court has demonstrated that such an Americanization has not, in fact, occurred. In the present analysis of American precedent use in section 1 limitation of rights cases, the citation of these precedents are at best episodic, at least on the quantitative level. Qualitatively, the Canadian Supreme Court generally uses American jurisprudence to further support broad definitions of 'great rights' . As for the more intricate details of rights limitations and the process involved in detennining how Charter rights are limited, one would be hard pressed to find even cursory references to American case law. | en_US |

Tianchi (Chinese: 天池; pinyin: tiānchí) is an alpine lake in Xinjiang, Northwest China, situated at 43°53′9.7″N 88°7′56.6″E / 43.886028°N 88.132389°E. The name (天池) literally means "Heaven Lake" or "Heavenly Lake" and can refer to several lakes in mainland China and Taiwan. This Tianchi lies on the north side of the Bogda Shan range of the Tianshan Mountains, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Fukang City and 45 kilometres (28 mi) east (straight-line distance) of Ürümqi. (Bogda is a Mongolian word, meaning "God".) It is an alpine drift lake shaped in the Quaternary Glacier period.
Formerly known as Yaochi (Jade Lake), it was named Tianchi in 1783 by Mingliang, the Qing Commander of Urumqi Command.
The lake is 1,907 metres (6,257 ft) above sea level, covering 4.9 square kilometres (1.9 sq mi), 105 metres (344 ft) deep at the deepest point.
In 2006, it was designated for four years of restoration work at a cost of 800 million yuan (US$100 million). The plan calls for the tourism area around the lake to be increased from the present 158 km² to 548 km². The lake is classified as a AAAAA scenic area by the China National Tourism Administration.[1]
The lake is accessible by Provincial Highway 111 from Fukang City.

The game was developed and being published by Empire Interactive. The game is a sequel to the 2007 cricket video game International Cricket Captain III.

However, just like predecessor ICC III, player is penalized for skipping matches or not making runs. Hardcore gamers don't like this feature of International Cricket Captain 2008. Hawk-eye technology has been introduced in the cricket video games through this game. This is a familiar technology to cricket fans which is used to depict the line and length of the ball especially used while giving LBW decisions.
International Cricket Captain 2008 includes both domestic and International cricket. Famous county cricket of England is also featured in this game. Player is given two different responsibilities in this game. ICC 2008 let player act as a captain of the team and also as a team manager. As a team manager, his role is to manage every aspect of the team both on-field and off-field. Unlike previous games of the series, now new measures have been introduced for coaching. Now players can work on specific areas unlike generic batting and bowling trainings of the previous games.

Operating Room Nurse Managers in the United States tend to have a good amount of experience under their belt — just under two-thirds have more than 10 years in the field. While pay runs from $62K to $111K per year, median earnings come to $84K per year. A large number report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a fair number collect dental insurance. The vast majority of Operating Room Nurse Managers (87 percent) who participated in the survey are women. The majority of Operating Room Nurse Managers claim high levels of job satisfaction. The figures in this overview were provided by individuals who took PayScale's salary questionnaire.
Operating Room Nurse Managers report a focused set of job skills. Most notably, skills in Intensive Care Unit, Operating Room / OR, Medicine / Surgery, and Quality Improvement / QA are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Quality Improvement / QA and Medicine / Surgery. For most people, competency in Medicine / Surgery indicates knowledge of Quality Improvement / QA.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Operating Room Nurse Managers — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. In this position, someone who has worked for fewer than five years can expect a median salary of $77K. The median for people with five to 10 years of experience is only a little bit higher at $79K. For Operating Room Nurse Managers, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $85K. Ultimately, more time spent in the workforce does seem to translate to bigger paychecks; seasoned veterans with more than 20 years of experience report a median income of $91K.

Well, SHERLOCKS is now closed & still look for others to meet & mingle on a Wednesday or Thursday night in garb!
I've heard similar things, SD, although we did interact with quite a few folks there last year. :-)
And yeah, they do offer a FEW complimentary tix when you book thwe wedding. We might even look into trying to get discounts for buying a certain number of extra tix, too, to help out a few extra friends who will already be spending $$$ to travel for the wedding.
thanks for the well-wishes, SD.... We hope it'll come out okay, lol. Been talking about doing this for about 2 years already! :-P
Hello, my fellow Steampunkers! :-)
Got a question for you all:
Would anyone be willing to go to the KC Ren Fest this year if you know there was a Doctor Who wedding (with steampunk flair) there, and that with all the S.P.ers showing up (even if they're not interested in seeing the wedding) might encourage the owner of the Ren Fest to incorporate a S.P. weekend there?
We want to accomplish two things with our wedding there this year:
1)(Obviously, to have a fun Doctor Who/Steampunk wedding)
And 2) to work with a few other employees at the Ren Fest in trying to convince the owner to have S.P. weekends there from this year on, and with that, to hopefully help bring more S.P. conventions, etc HERE to Kansas City, etc.
So FEW people know about Steampunk, and yet soooooo many of them IMMEDIATELY fall in LOVE with it as soon as they know what it's all about! If enough people show up (whether for the wedding, or just for fun) in S.P. attire and all, it might help change the owner's mind about having the S.P. weekends, etc!!!
Got a question regarding a wedding etiquette situation, and I want everyone's opinion, please.... (Thanks!!!)...
Say someone wants to have a small wedding inside of a public event, but just can't afford to pay for the entrance fee of every one of their guests; only a select few. The price per person will be approximately $20.
Would it be rude to invite them, but expect them to pay to attend? Is there ANY way they can at least give them a proper heads up, like an extra note with the invitation? Perhaps they can also encourage them to arrive early and stay late for the other festivities and events, to make it worth their while?
What would be the best course of action?
SD, THANK YOU!!!!! We're actually only about a 1/2 hour from there, so we might to tomorrow (they're closed today, lol).
Also, I found someone who specializes in steampunk clothing, so we're also meeting up with her tomorrow for measurements, etc to get my gown made. :-)
If anyone is interested, her shop is...
On Facebook...
Hello, everyone! :-)
I'm new to this, so please bear with me. :-) I have a question and I'm REEEEEALLY hoping that someone can help me out here...
Does anyone know where I can find a blue Steampunk gown similar to this one, for $300, more or less?
In truth, I'm starting to get a little desperate because I need to find a local shop (or at least one not TOO far away) where I can try the gowns on rather than ordering them online.
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Hi guys... my first post here: I have put up with great fear and trembling, a Steampunk "Instructable". I am hoping that y'all might want to check it out and give me any healthy criticism that my fragile ego can stand? I am furiously building a Steampunk backpack and arm console combo for a deadline of October 15th.

Bedrooms | 2 |
Bathrooms | 2 |
Property type | villa |
Minimum Stay | 2 - 7 nights |
Exclusive luxury villa with shared 20m floodlit pool in beautiful landscaped private gardens close to fabulous blue flag beach and delightful village in Crete, Greece. Stunning sea and mountain views. Secluded patio to small private garden with lemon and orange trees Large first floor balcony for al fresco dining. Balcony with small table/chairs overlooking the swimming pool and a further large private sun terrace with sun loungers and pergola on the 2nd floor. Spacious self catering accommodation is provided in the villa with light and airy through kitchen/lounge. The villa sleeps 4 in twin and double rooms with 1 ensuite and 1 house bathroom including shower and bath + 2 toilets. Additional double sofa bed. High spec interiors equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, dishwasher, washing machine dining table/chairs and full size oven/hob. Beautiful gently shelving sandy beach suitable for children within 5 mins walk with restaurants shops bars situated along the beach front.
We were delighted with our property in Crete. It was everthing we were hoping for and more! The appartment was excellent in every aspect. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and close to shops and beaches. Although it was close to all the amenities the Grapevines development was quiet, even in the height of summer, great to come back to after a hot and busy day out! The air conditioning worked well but we found we only needed to use it 10 minutes or so before we went to sleep. We all slept very well waking refreshed every morning. The pool area and gardens were very well maintained and the pool itself was clean and refreshing. The local beaches were beautiful and within walking distance. We hired a car and explored some of the villages up in the mountains. We had some excellent local food both in Makrygialos and in the surrounding villages. The information left in the appartment was very useful when choosing places to visit. I would highly recommend this appartment to friends. Our family had a excellent two weeks holiday and will hopefully return one day.
We had a wonderfull holyday at the villa. Very Nice harbour and little village, very authentic compared to such places as agios nikolaos or Heraklion we visited on the north coast. We appreciated Being away form the overcrowded and much touristic north coast.
Very tasty taverns and wonderfull swimming pool at the villa. The beach is close and not overcrowded.
The people are very Nice and all speak english.
We really enjoyed our holyday.
From a french family coming from russia.
We stayed nine days at Grapevines and it was wonderful. The house is very well equipped. It's close to a lot of restaurants and the harbour is a nice walk away. From all restaurants that we tried, Dragon Cave (five minutes drive) was outstanding.
Beaches are within walking distance.
We stayed there early October and the weather was still very good (approx. 25°C).
Looking forward to coming back some time again.
This truly was our best summer holiday by far. The villa is superb and although there are others on the same complex we felt that this one was ideally situated with the sea one side and the pool/mountains on the other side. We felt at home immediately and were more than happy to just explore the area closer to hand as we chose not to hire a car.
There was a lovely walk up to the village of Pefki (along the quiet road) with a stop for refreshments at the taverna before returning via Pefki gorge - hot but spectacular scenery throughout followed by a welcome ice cold beer in a taverna on our return to Makrygialos!
Our two teenagers (14 & 18) had a great time too - especially in the pool and when the mood took us we ventured down to the beach for a play in the sea - fab! (The watersports were also a hit).
All of the food was delicious and we would particularly recommend Gabbianos situated just along the road from the villa (opp Sunwin Hotel) purely for their hospitality and friendship - a lovely family.
The property is well looked after and maintained by a lovely couple, Rosemary and Nikos, who are on hand for friendly advice whenever you need it. They are truly an asset to this wonderful complex. I really cannot praise it enough and it is as good, if not better, than the photos and description.
The only one disadvantage is that it is quite a distance from the airport (Heraklion) which makes it expensive by taxi or lengthy on public transport. But for a quiet, away from it all resort it is worth the trek. We really would like to visit again soon.
We spent one week there at Grapevines in late June.
Everything was magical!
Absolutely recommended. High quality build, design, ergonomy.
We stayed in this villa in July 2010 and had a fantastic time! Range of childrens ages from 8 to 16 years and all were catered for! Villa was modern, clean and beautifully furnished - help on hand from Rosemary and nikos who stay next door and were able to help with recommendations for restaurants, beaches etc.
Eating out was no problem with a selection of restaurants close by and down at the harbour which was a short 20 minute walk along the beach. Gustos at the harbour, Gabbianos and the Porphyra were our particular favourites although we never had a bad meal and the prices were reasonable.
Plenty to do if you didnt want to sit at the fabulous pool all day. Down at the beach which is a 5 minute walk across the road and down through the Sunwing hotel, everyone took part in jet skiing, banana boat, pedalo and snorkelling. The beach is set in a sheltered cove with beatiful clear water - great for younger kids as it gets deep gently and is fantastically clear for snorkelling!
Overall we all had a fantastic time and have no problem in recommending this to other families. Only downside is the hour and 45 minute drive from the airport but it is well worth the travelling time!!
Makrigialos is blessed with 5 separate beaches. The main blue flag sandy beach stretches from the harbour for half a mile providing a safe gently shelving bathing beach ideal for children and family holidays. Couples will also enjoy the variety of beachfront bars tavernas and restaurants that stretch down to the harbour. The main beach offers a range of watersports facilities with good snorkelling off the rocks at the end of the beach.Makrigialos has its own archaelogical site in the remains of a Roman Villa above the pretty harbour. Just a short drive takes you to secluded beaches and coves, interesting Monasteries and hill top churches, the harbour towns of Sitia and Irapetra with its Saturday market, waterfront restaurants bars and tavernas. Spectacular gorges and timeless traditional Cretan villages such as Pefki and Agios Stefanos dot the mountainsides. Makrigialos remains a relatively undiscovered gem of a holiday village. Unspoilt charming full of character a real find.
Other Activities: olive oil tasting, mountain herb collecting, local market, monasteries
