More Pomp And Circumstance
KSAL Staff - May 16, 2014 7:02 am
The sounds of "Pomp and Circumstance" will be in the air again this weekend. There will be plenty of hugs and tears for the second weekend in a row as seniors from many schools around the area will say goodbye.
Nearly every senior in Salina and Saline County will graduate. Seniors from Salina Central, Salina South, Ell-Saline, and Southeast of Saline will all walk across the stage. Sacred Heart seniors graduated last weekend.
Many other area schools will also say goodbye to their seniors. Bennington, Tescott, Lincoln, Abilene, and Chapman are all among area schools celebrating commencement.
While seniors are already finished with classes, all other students are still counting down the days to the last day of school. Classes will dismiss for the summer next week.

Beware of Financial Clutter
Sign up for our FREE Monthly Email Newsletter
When I work with a new client in my financial planning practice, I often come across a condition that I call "financial clutter." This has many forms, but a common version might look like this:
What's wrong with this picture? In my experience:
These problems are a sign of a collection of investments accumulated over time for various reasons, instead of a portfolio that was built as the result of a financial plan tailored to their unique situation.
Financial clutter can also extend beyond investments and may include:
Whether you are working with a financial advisor or you're a do-it-yourselfer, I urge you to eliminate the financial clutter in your life. Cleaning up your finances periodically can yield tremendous dividends for you and your family.

Simulis Thermodynamics:
Providing powerful calculation at reduced price
If the price of the Simulis Thermodynamics license is well below that of similar products available on the market, it is because, from the launch of the Simulis components suite, ProSim made the strategic decision to follow a new business model in which profitability is based on reduced prices and large volumes.
License prices could be significantly reduced as efficiency gains, acquired through uncommon technological choices, are transferred to the customers. In particular, these technological choices have their full effect at:
the development level, the main element of the software cost, the "component" based technology of Simulis, allows the re-use of existing codes to a large extent and thereby minimises development and validation costs;
- the distribution level, the other major software cost element, the choice of the online internet sales as the main channel allows substantial commercial expenses reduction. A large volume is expected as studies show that, in the same company, thermodynamic calculations can be performed by many engineers and technicians, and not only by process simulation and modelling specialists. These calculations only need to be accessible in a familiar working environment such as MS-Excel for example. Furthermore, numerous fields of engineering sciences, other than process engineering, also require quality thermophysical properties. This is true of, for example, heat transfer, but also for aerodynamics, physics, hydraulics, mechanical, material, etc.
Thanks to its ability to be integrated in third party packages, Simulis Thermodynamics can be embedded in software designed for wider fields of application such as CFD (computational fluid dynamics), equipment design (heat exchangers, compressors, pipe-lines, etc.) or model based control tools . In this case, run-time licenses are proposed and the distribution is ensured by the developer himself (please consult).
The price of the Simulis Thermodynamics license is not explained by a lower quality of the tool... 'Au contraire'. Nor is this software a reduced version of a more complete product. It actually includes the complete component databases and thermodynamic models that are available in other ProSim software. It was developed by engineers for the engineers, and is the result of more than fifteen years of activity in the field and continues to be enriched by thermodynamic experts. The price of license you benefit from is only linked to the business model chosen.
Is Simulis Thermodynamics a software or a component?
Simulis Thermodynamics is a component that is available as a Microsoft Excel® add-in, a toolbox in MATLAB® or as a software component which can be easily plugged in any other application requiring reliable and accurate thermophysical properties.
For instance, here is a screenshot of Simulis Thermodynamics in Excel. After, you can easily build your calculations spreadsheets.

Chancellor offers advice to staff on weathering tough times
By D. Lyn Hunter, Public Affairs
13 November 2002
Because the university will likely face budget shortages for some time to come — resulting in minimal salary increases for employees — Chancellor Robert Berdahl urged staff gathered at a recent forum to take advantage of career-development opportunities, then use those new skills to pursue higher-paying jobs on campus. "Advancing one's career at Berkeley is how people will see their incomes rise faster than can be done with cost-of-living or merit increases," the chancellor said on Tuesday, Nov. 5, during his annual "Chat with Staff" in Sibley Auditorium. The administration's job "is to make sure the campus provides the training and opportunities for these advancements to take place." He cited the recently implemented Career Development Opportunity Program as an important resource for staff who are interested in acquiring the skills needed to move into more lucrative campus positions. The program, created by the Office of Human Resources and the Staff Infrastructure Steering Committee, provides up to $5,250 per year in training expenses for each employee. "I realize this is more of a long-term solution — one that doesn't answer the problem we have right now as you face a miniscule 1.5-percent salary increase," he added. "Just yesterday, in a meeting with the Office of the President to define our bare-minimum priorities for the coming year, we came up with two: funding the administrative costs associated with enrollment growth and increasing staff salaries." Berdahl said the university will ask the legislature to consider a 4- to 4.5-percent salary increase for next year: "That doesn't make up a lot of ground, but at least it would halt the erosion of salaries. But I don't know if we'll get that from the legislature." Students should bear 'fair share' of burden "The strategy has to be that no one sector of the university should shoulder a greater burden than others, so students are going to have to face reality and bear their fair share," Berdahl said. "If you look at our fees in constant dollars, they are actually lower today than they were in 1971, and half of what students pay at the University of Michigan." Workload was another issue the chancellor addressed during his talk. Staffing levels decreased during the budget crunch of the early 1990s, when hiring freezes were implemented and many senior employees took advantage of the cost-cutting Voluntary Early Retirement Incentive Program. The number of full-time-equivalent staff has risen slightly since then, he said, but some campus areas on are still critically short-staffed. "Over the years, we've taken pride in demonstrating that we can do more with less, but you come to a point where there is no more give, where people are stretched to the maximum," said Berdahl. "We will be talking about this critical issue at the next Dean's Council meeting and will try to come up with some creative solutions to help units that are particularly impacted." In a Q&A portion of the event, staff asked the chancellor about the likelihood of early-retirement or time-reduction programs being introduced as a way to trim operating costs, as was done in the lean times of the last decade. But with workload already a major concern, he said, it is doubtful such programs would be utilized. "These are not useful solutions to the crisis we face," Berdahl said. "Not only does it increase workload, but the cost of rehiring people makes any cost benefit negligible at best." The chancellor's address to staff was sponsored by the Berkeley Staff Assembly, a campus group that works to keep staff informed about important issues, encourages them to voice opinions to the campus administration, and offers them an opportunity to become more involved in campus life.

Love it but Rocking Seat only used for 6 nights If your baby is over 8lbs, the rocking seat will be too small for them. My little guy only got to sleep in there for 6 nights before he was too long to fit. Longer or bigger babies get their neck pressed downward while in the rocking seat so as a safety measure I took it out and my baby sleeps in the bassinet part of the pack 'n play. I do love the music and lights but my little guy hates the vibrations, they are a little intense for a newborn. I love this product and would buy it again if need be.

Shopping Guides
Best Reasons to Use Baby Playards
When shopping for baby gear, consider putting a playard on top of your list. Playards, also sometimes referred to as playpens, function as cribs, changing stations and safe, enclosed play areas. Purchasing a portable baby playard can save money and space while giving you a versatile piece of baby furniture for travel and activities with baby. Some of the best reasons to use baby playards include value, versatility and portability. Today's playards are not like the playpens your mother used; these handy pieces of baby gear perform a myriad of functions and go anywhere.
Top 5 Benefits of Baby Playards
When you're baby-proofing your home, you may want to consider baby playards to keep your baby safe while he plays. Maybe you need to hurry into the kitchen and take something out of the oven. Maybe you have multiple children and you have to put down the baby to feed or change the toddler. If you have a playard, you can leave the room for those few minutes and rest assured that your baby will be safe and entertained while you are in the other room. If you're thinking of purchasing a playard, consider the following benefits to help you make your decision.
Play Yard Buying Guide
A play yard can be a convenient and versatile addition to your baby gear. When it comes to baby activity gear, a play yard can be the helping hand you need when you need it most. Unfortunately, you can't always hold your baby or keep your baby occupied; sometimes you need both hands and both eyes to get something else done when there is no one else around to help supervise your baby. This is when a play yard can really help you out. A play yard, also called a playard, provides you and your baby with a safe, enclosed space for your baby to play. This play yard buying guide will help you understand the various features and safety precautions so you can figure out how to buy the play yard that will best meet your needs.
Top 5 Reasons to Buy a Play Yard
There's a lot of gear that you can buy when you're having a baby. Some items, like car seats and diapers, are a necessity, while others are simply there to make having and caring for a baby a little easier. When you're going over your list of activity gear to buy, you may want to consider purchasing a play yard. It's not a necessity, but one can certainly help parents and baby alike. Here are a few reasons why a play yard may be right for you and your little one.
Best Gifts for Baby Boys
Shopping for baby gifts is fun and exciting. Finding a fun, useful or educational gift for a baby boy is a great way to celebrate his birth or any occasion. By keeping the baby's age and his parents' lifestyle in mind when picking a baby gift, you can find something that will delight, impress and become a treasure. Whether you are shopping for a baby boy gift to take to a baby shower or a gift that will be perfect for his first birthday, we can help you select the best baby gift with our tips. Activity. Play mats such as gym mats and tummy time mats are great gifts for baby boys. Play mats help babies develop motor skills, strengthen their muscles and they can also entertain little one's while parents take a break. Active baby boys love kicking and playing with gym mat toys and tummy time mats will entertain any baby while he is developing strong muscle coordination. In addition to play mats, music CDs, educational DVDs and baby books are great activity-based gift options. Age-appropriate toys such as trains, cars, stuffed toys and balls never go out of fashion and give babies opportunities to develop their motor skills. A play yard also makes a great baby boy gift. Play yards offer a safe place for babies to explore their environment. Nursery. You can help dress a baby boy's nursery with decor gifts. Crib bedding, hampers, crib toys, musical mobiles, window treatments, stuffed toys, rugs and other accessories will add to a baby boy's nursery. Check with parents to find out their planned nursery theme before buying or choose neutral decor items. Large nursery items such as baby swings, rockers, bouncy seats and walkers are great gifts and will be very useful for the parents. Meal time. Babies need so many accessories to get them through the day. Feeding accessories make very useful baby boy gifts. Cheerful dish sets and baby bibs with witty lines are gifts that make meal times memorable for a baby boy and his parents. If you have a generous budget, consider larger items such as high chairs, baby booster seats and travel seats. Clothes and accessories. A baby can never have too many outfits. Consider the time of year and local climate and choose clothes and accessories that fit the seasons. Undershirts, pajamas, sleepers, shorts, T-shirts, pants and pairs of jeans are safe bets for baby boys. Hats, jackets, socks, shoes and mittens make useful gifts as well. If you are shopping for a newborn, consider purchasing clothing that is perfect for older babies. As long as you keep the seasons in mind, you can purchase a clothing gift that will be useful once the baby grows out of his adorable infant outfits.

Best Baby Gifts for New Dads
Are you searching for the best baby gift ideas for a new dad? Mom and baby usually get all the gifts and attention, so giving a gift to a new dad will be a much appreciated surprise. There are many creative and fun gifts to choose from when shopping for new dads. Check out these ideas for some of the best baby gifts for new dads. Digital camera/camcorder. Giving dad a digital camera or camcorder is a great way to help him record all of the many milestones and memorable moments in his baby's first months of life and onward. Not only will dad have new equipment to take as many pictures and videos of his new baby as he wants; he'll also love having a new gadget to figure out and play with. Baby carrier. Infant car seats are great for getting around town with your baby in a car, but there are times when an infant car seat is too bulky to carry while you're walking. Dads love holding their babies in their arms, but it's nice to have some hands-free time for multitasking, especially with a brand new baby. For this reason, one of the best baby gifts for new dads is a front or back baby carrier. A baby carrier gives dad plenty of baby-dad quality time while allowing dad to go for walks, run errands or do chores around the house. Dads will love being able to have their babies close, and most babies enjoy being in their carrier so much that they nod off within minutes of being strapped on. Diaper bag. There are plenty of stylish designer diaper bags available for moms but what about dads? Most dads don�t want to carry around a women's diaper bag; get him a "dad bag" instead. There are many new masculine diaper bags on the market. These dad bags typically look more like standard backpacks or messenger bags but are designed with all of the handy compartments necessary for toting diapers, wipes, bottles and more. Masculine diaper bags will be a great hit with the new dad as he adjusts to life on the move with a little one. Parenting books. Many new dads are overwhelmed by the responsibilities of becoming a parent and would probably appreciate a little help understanding their new role. There are plenty of general parenting books available, some written just for dads, that cover topics ranging from baby health and baby development to a father's role and discipline. These books make some of the best baby gifts for new dads by providing them with a resource to answer some of their many questions about parenthood and serve as a reference for future dilemmas.

Many parents, however, choose to buy them for the convenience and safety benefits. Whether you're considering buying a portable for your primary baby crib or you want to buy one as a secondary crib, the following tips detail the best reasons to buy a portable crib to help you make the best decision you can for you and your baby.
Which Shape of Bean Bag Chair is Best for You
A comfortable bean bag chair can make any room in your home a more inviting place to relax. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes, so everyone can find the perfect one. However, with so many different kinds of bean bags and lounge bags to choose from, you'll need to make sure you know what kind you want before purchasing one. If you consider where you want to put your bean bag and what you want to use it for, you can easily select the right bean bag chair for your home.
Valentine's Day Gifts for Your Pet
Valentine's Day is a great opportunity to share your love with those you are close to. For many, this includes pets. Pamper your pets this Valentine's Day with their very own heart felt surprises. Whether you have a cat, a dog, or anything in between, you can spoil them with one these Valentine's Day gift ideas for pets.
Top 5 Accessories for Car Seats
Safety comes first, but car seats can also be made more comfortable and even entertaining with car seat accessories for your baby. When you strap your little one into his car seat, whether it is for that first ride home from the hospital or a trip to the supermarket, make the trip more pleasant for you and your baby with the right car seat accessories.
How to Choose a Bicycle Seat
Finding the right bike seat is an important but challenging task. On the one hand, bike seats have the tendency to be chronically uncomfortable, so deciding which one will break the mold can be difficult. On the other hand, you'll be stuck cycling on your bike seat for hours at a time, so breaking that mold is exactly what you need to do. Break down your search of bicycle parts and accessories by a few key factors, and you'll find the right seat for you.
High Chairs vs Booster Seats
When your baby starts eating solid foods, it's time to invest in a high chair or booster seat. The question is, which is better for you and your baby? High chairs and booster seats are both useful when it comes time to feed your baby. Many parents prefer the traditional high chair, while others like the space-saving aspects of a booster seat. You may find yourself leaning towards one, the other or even both for feeding baby. The following tips can help you decide whether a high chair or a booster seat will best fit your needs and lifestyle.
Tips on Assembling Flat-pack Furniture
Flat-pack furniture has become increasingly popular, especially among frugal buyers looking for a deal. By creating everything from beds to dressers that can be packed into smaller boxes and assembled by the customer, manufacturers save money on shipping and can then forward the savings. The thought of furniture assembly from a box of materials can be intimidating, but with good assembly instructions and some helpful tips, you should be able to easily cash in on the great deals that flat-pack furniture provides.
Kitten Care Checklist
Are you thinking of getting a new pet for you or your family? Kittens are active, social pets who love having a home and family, and kittens make great pets for families of any size. Before you adopt a furry friend of your own, however, you'll need to get a few cat supplies to help you take care of your new kitty.
Bean Bags vs Lounge Bags
You may be considering the benefits of placing a bean bag in your den. Once you start researching bean bags, you'll realize that there's also a product called a lounge bag available for purchase. Before you decide on new furniture, consider the pros and cons of bean bags vs. lounge bags. Bean bags and lounge bags are very similar, but the subtle differences make it possible to pick the perfect furniture for your home.

Hotel Henri IV
25, place Dauphine, Paris, France
Doubles from: $65 to $103
Note: This hotel does not offer online booking through our reservation partners. To see all available hotels in Paris, please search below.
Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
Location is everything for the Hotel Henri IV. Located on the Place Dauphine toward the tip of the Ile de la Cité, this "island" cheapo is ideal for romantic types looking for a simple, historic and super-central hotel. But warning: The hotel is slated to close soon.
Pros: Amazing island location. Recently renovated rooms. Historic building.
Cons: Simple rooms with few amenities. No Wi-Fi. Slated to close for good soon.
First, a warning: The Henri IV is slated to close. The Balitrand family, the Henri IV's long-time proprietors, sold it in late 2013, and the new owners have planned to close it down at the end of September 2014 and convert it into full floor rental apartment units. In our humble opinion, this is quite sad, and such a boring finale to one of Paris' last remaining unusual cheap sleeps.
However, as with many real estate sagas in Paris, things have been developing slowly, and the hotel remains open for business as of late summer 2014. So will it close this year? Stay tuned, and contact the hotel for further information.
And now, back to our review...
When considering a stay at the Henri IV, it helps to embrace history. While the Balitrand family ran it as a hotel from 1935-2013, the building dates way back to 1635. In the early days of EuroCheapo's Paris guide (around 2001), we recommended the hotel, as it offered ultra-cheap, basic rooms with a sense of history to boot. Things got a little too "basic," however, and so we took down the review a couple of years later. However, the owners revamped the Henri IV in late 2009, renovating almost all of its 15 rooms.
Don't get the wrong impression—the zero-star hotel still just provides minimal services and amenities. Expect a bed, desk and chair and large, old-fashioned windows looking out to the Place Dauphine. There are no TVs or telephones to be found, and notably (for today's travelers), the hotel doesn't offer Wi-Fi.
All but two of the rooms have private bathrooms, which were also renovated with new tiling and showers. Two highly sought-after rooms have private terraces.
One of those with a private terrace is a top-floor single, which is also the only room to have its bathroom located outside the room (across the hallway and in the courtyard). I stayed in this room in May 2014 and had a memorable time—lounging on the terrace, catching up on a book (no Wi-Fi!), and getting lost in the view.
The Henri IV is clearly not for everyone. While the Place Dauphine is located in the bulls-eye center of Paris, minutes from the Latin Quarter, Notre Dame and Louvre, the area could feel deserted late at night. Also, if your hotel demands include modern amenities like air conditioning, TV, Wi-Fi or an elevator, you should obviously keep looking.
However, guests craving a sense of history with their hotel will embrace the hotel from the first sight of its antiquated sign and the inaugural climb up the crooked staircase.
Note: Reservations are only taken by telephone.

About the Hotel Henri IV neighborhood
Located to the west of Châtelet, the area surrounding the Louvre museum is an art lover's playground. The quarter boasts grand Haussmann-style boulevards leading to the gold dome of the Opéra and the banks of the Seine. The quarter's biggest draw is the Louvre museum and the Seine-side Jardin des Tuileries.

Pardew will be patient with new duo
Former Birmingham defender Jaidi and Senegalese striker N'Daiye, who is on loan from Fiorentina, made their debuts as late substitutes during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Charlton.
But Pardew will now play the pair in the reserves this week as they attempt to get their fitness up to speed.
"Rahdi hadn't played a game yet but I felt his experience in those last 10 to 15 minutes would help us and I think we did settle down a little bit," said Pardew.
"He will get a full run-out in the reserves during the week against Swindon.
"Papa also needs a match, it's as simple as that. He showed when he came on that he's got talent but he's got to be fit. I made that mistake with Carlos Tevez at West Ham so I'm not going to do that again."

Incorporating Rendezvous into Your Cocoa Applications, Part 2
Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4
Sockets are the topic of the next column, but I want to touch on them here because setting up a socket is the first step to creating and publishing a service. Sockets are, for programmers, endpoints of network communications. When a connection between a server and a client has been established, there is a pair of sockets associated with each other: one on the client and one on the server. Data is transferred from the client to the server when the client writes data to its socket representing the server. The server obtains the data sent by the client by reading available data from its socket representing the client. This chain of events is true in the opposite direction as well.
When a server starts, it creates what is known as a listening socket. This is a socket that is "listening" for connections from clients. The listening socket for an application is what we need to set up for our net service.
One could look at NSNetService
and Rendezvous as doing nothing more than advertising the presence of a listening socket. This socket is given a name, which is the service name, and a type, which is the service type discussed above. Browsers searching for services of a specific type will then get, in response, the name of our particular service, and when the service is resolved, the client gets the address and port number for the server's listening socket to which it can connect. So you can see how, from the programmer's perspective, NSNetService
really only advertises the existence of a socket to which interested clients may connect.
is used to communicate over a socket. Again, the details of this will be discussed in the next column, but for the purposes of setupSocket
, we're going to create one now.
- (void)setupSocket
socketPort = [[NSSocketPort alloc] initWithTCPPort:12345];
listeningSocket = [[NSFileHandle alloc]
initWithFileDescriptor:[socketPort socket]];
In this code the variables socketPort
and listeningSocket
are both instance variables in Controller
. So in the class interface we have to add the following:
NSSocketPort *socketPort;
NSFileHandle *listeningSocket;
In setupSocket
, we do two things. We use NSSocketPort
to create a socket bound to the port 12345
using the initializer initWithTCPPort:
. In the next line we instantiate and initialize an NSFileHandle
using the method initWithFileDescriptor:
. The file descriptor we pass in this method is the socket file descriptor returned by a socket message to our NSSocketPort
object. Again, we will talk more about this in the next column, in addition to an alternative to using NSSocketPort
This method is a pretty simple method. NSNetService
will advertise the existence of the socket we create in this method. Of course, right now our socket does absolutely nothing, but that will change in the next column. For now, we'll pretend that our socket on port 12345
is set up to do really important things that makes advertising it with Rendezvous worthwhile (although, since Rendezvous is so easy to use, even if the service behind your socket is a paragon of mediocrity, it would still be worthwhile to advertise it with Rendezvous).
Interestingly, all of the documentation regarding Rendezvous states that creating a socket is a necessary first step to creating a service. The truth, however, is that we can advertise a service without creating a socket. This is totally pointless, since clients won't have anything to which to connect. The point is that we are on the honor system to make sure we have a functioning service provider before we advertise it. NSNetService
doesn't perform any check to make sure that there is a live socket on the port number we specify.
The next thing we do after setting up the socket is to set up an actual instance of NSNetService
. This is done in the method setupService
, which appears below:
- (void)setupService
service = [[NSNetService alloc] initWithDomain:@""
name:[nameField stringValue]
[service setDelegate:self];
[service publish];
The variable service
is another instance variable that must be added to the class interface:
NSNetService *service;
Initializing an instance of NSNetService
is done with the method initWithDomain:type:name:port:
. The first argument, initWithDomain:
, is the domain in which we wish to register our service. Currently, this class only supports registration in the local domain, .local
. Rather than explicitly specify .local
as the domain, we pass an empty string that NSNetService
takes to mean "register this service in the default domain," which is .local
The next argument, type:
, is a string that identifies the service type and transport layer. For this parameter we pass _rce._tcp
. The NSNetService
object will advertise our service as type rce
. The reason these elements are prepended by an underscore is so that the mDNS
responder can identify them as information about the service, rather than as being part of the host name. (The type:
string is actually part of a larger string used by the mDNS
responder that contains the host name and service description: for example, Mike._rce._tcp.southpark.local.
In the next parameter, name:
, we specify the name of the service. This name should be a name that has meaning to human users, rather than some indecipherable incantation of characters that computers really like to use. This is, in fact, the name that will appear in the browser lists of other instances of RCE running on the network. For our service, we set the name of the service to the string contained in the text field nameField
Finally, we supply the port number to which our socket is bound. Supplying the port number in the initialization is actually the only contact NSNetService
has with the networking functionality of our application. All NSNetService
does is say to those who care (i.e. apps searching for _rce._tcp service
instances) that "I'm running a service over here on port 12345 and it's of type _rce._tcp
. If you ask, I'll give you the address of the socket that's serving this service and you can hook up with it." Your service is the pretty girl at the party, and NSNetService
is her drunk friend giving out her name and phone number to anyone who asks.
has two areas of functionality: it functions to publish services that we create, and it also works to resolve the addresses of discovered services. In the current section, we are concerned with the publication side of business. NSNetService
declares delegate methods that are relevant to both publication and resolution, all of which are listed here:
- Publication Appropriate
- Resolution Appropriate
The functionality of the two sets of methods are largely parallel, and serve to notify the delegate of the progress of a publish or resolution operation, and of any errors that may arise during these operations. We will discuss the resolution-specific delegate methods below, and here we will say a word about the publication-relevant delegate methods.
Each of these delegate methods passes as a parameter the net service object that invoked the method. In netServiceWillPublish:
and netServiceDidStop:
, the only argument is the net service object that sent the message. The method netService:didNotPublish:
passes the NSNetService
object in the first argument, and an error dictionary in the second argument.
These first two methods can be used to update the user interface to reflect the status of service publication. We won't do anything too fancy here, just print a message to the standard output with NSLog
indicating where we are in publishing, as shown here:
- (void)netServiceWillPublish:(NSNetService *)sender
NSLog( @"Publishing service %@", [sender name] );
- (void)netServiceDidStop:(NSNetService *)sender
NSLog( @"Stopping service %@", [sender name] );
objects notify their delegates of errors by invoking their respective didNotPublish:
or didNotResolve:
methods. Information about the error is passed in an error dictionary as the last argument to this method. The error dictionary contains objects for the keys NSNetServicesErrorCode
and NSNetServicesErrorDomain
. The object for NSNetServicesErrorDomain
tells us whether the error occurred in the mach network layer or in the NSNetService
object. This information is usually less useful than the constant passed for NSNetServicesErrorCode
. The possible error codes are listed in the table below.
Constant | Description |
NSNetServicesUnknownError |
An unknown error occurred. |
NSNetServicesCollisionError |
The service could not be published because the name is already in use either locally or on another system. |
NSNetServicesNotFoundError |
The service could not be found on the network. |
NSNetServicesActivityInProgress |
The net service cannot process the request at this time. |
NSNetServicesBadArgumentError |
An invalid argument was used when creating the NSNetService object. |
NSNetServicesCancelledError |
The client cancelled the action. |
NSNetServicesInvalidError |
The net service was improperly configured. |

Tristana (1970)
WHO: Luis Buñuel directing Fernando Rey, Catherine Deneuve and Franco Nero (the latter two pictured above.)
WHAT: Tristana was at one time widely considered one of Buñuel's greatest masterworks, and therefore one of the great films of all time. According to the 1980 edition of Film Facts, it came in at #8 in the results of a 1975 "all-time favorite films" poll held by the Association of French Film Critics, just between Roberto Rossellini's Paisan and Josef Von Sternberg's The Scarlet Empress. (#1 was Antonioni's L'Avventura). At some point along the way, Tristana became, at least in the United States, eclipsed in reputation by other Buñuel films, particularly some of the ones made widely available on DVD through Criterion. Whether availability is the chicken or the egg to reputation I can't determine, especially without ever having seen the title in question myself. I'm pretty sure it hasn't screened in a local cinema once in the dozen or so years I've been keeping my eye our for Buñuel showings, and it hasn't been available on home video in this country since the LaserDisc days.
WHERE/WHEN: Three to five shows daily at the Opera Plaza Cinema, in a week-long run starting today.
WHY: Quentin Tarantino fever has revived interest in Sergio Corbucci's 1966 film Django, starring Franco Nero in the title role. It will screen digitally at the Castro January 18th if you missed its recent run at the Elmwood. If Nero's involvement in Tristana helped secure a week-long theatrical engagement of a Buñuel movie in anticipation of its upcoming Blu-Ray DVD release, then Tarantino's new film has to be seen as an ultimate good for movie culture, no matter whether you line up closer to Odie Henderson or Steven Boone or to Spike Lee or Laura Washington when it comes to the merits of the film itself. Nero also appears in Corbucci's The Mercenary, which the Pacific Film Archive brings to town later this month as part of a nakedly-Tarantino-inspired series of Spaghetti Westerns. As for Django Unchained, it's still playing at various Frisco Bay theatres. If you want to see it on 35mm film you might try the 4-Star, though I also suspect it will appear in this form at the Castro in the near-ish future, at least if the final minutes of this interview can be used as a premonition.
HOW: I'm told this will be a digital presentation; presumably sourced from a Blu-Ray.
Luis Buñuel,
Opera Plaza Cinema,
3 comments:
2 Tristana tidbits:
1. I was told by a film friend,Jim Mueller, that the original European Tristana ran longer than what was released here. According to the AFI the Tristana I saw in the fall of 1970 in Boston ran 95 minutes,from 105 minutes. Landmark's site lists 98 minutes. I haven't researched
what was cut, Does anyone know?Too bad this new one couldn't, as say with Rialto's Wages Of Fear, restore the whole thing.
2. Tristana is one of the few adaptations of the great 19th century novelist Galdos, who is considered Spain's equivalent of Balzac or Dickens. Bunuel previously did his Nazarin. I have a number of his hard to find works in translation The long Fortunata Y Jacinta is a masterpiece.

An Introduction to Recursive Function Theory
- Author: Nigel Cutland
- Date Published: June 1980
- availability: Available
- format: Paperback
- isbn: 9780521294652
What can computers do in principle? What are their inherent theoretical limitations? These are questions to which computer scientists must address themselves. The theoretical framework which enables such questions to be answered has been developed over the last fifty years from the idea of a computable function: intuitively a function whose values can be calculated in an effective or automatic way. This book is an introduction to computability theory (or recursion theory as it is traditionally known to mathematicians). Dr Cutland begins with a mathematical characterisation of computable functions using a simple idealised computer (a register machine); after some comparison with other characterisations, he develops the mathematical theory, including a full discussion of non-computability and undecidability, and the theory of recursive and recursively enumerable sets. The later chapters provide an introduction to more advanced topics such as Gildel's incompleteness theorem, degrees of unsolvability, the Recursion theorems and the theory of complexity of computation. Computability is thus a branch of mathematics which is of relevance also to computer scientists and philosophers. Mathematics students with no prior knowledge of the subject and computer science students who wish to supplement their practical expertise with some theoretical background will find this book of use and interest.

Its actually from a girl who ended up giving head to ugly guys after too many drinks, not the first time that's happened :)
If it is a pbt then I can see it because if they aren't calibrated properly or if you don't blow hard enough you get an inaccurate reading.
You poured it out when nobody was lookin dumb bitch
Yeah.. then she lied about it online to a network of people who won't ever meet her.\nTHAT MAKES SENSE!!! not.
guessing the breathilizer was broken?
bullshit i had 6 beers blew .15 and went to jail
How does that!?
Sounds like you were blowing the wrong end then
Same shit!!!
for the slower ppl who dont understand, when u blow into a breathalizer for alcohol content
Depending on the time the breathalizer was given, and how long ago she drank the drinks. She could blow a zero. I was at a party last night, I don't drink but my friends do, and they still all blew .00, because they had to wait an hour and a half and by then your body has already absorbed some alcohol. I took Alcohol Awareness, I b a pr000
Could he be talking about throwing up? Cause that's pretty much impossible to blow a zero into a breathilizer, unless all his friends game him virgin drinks and he was faking it. That's funn to do to people :)
Is it possible you drank them ridiculously fast and blew before it showed up? I think it takes a almost a half hour for your body to absorb alcohol.
It was prolly just mikes hard lemonade and smirnoff
Who is zero?
Actually the handheld devices have been known to give faulty readings. It's rare and we don't advertise it but u can get a zero when drinking
UH, there was no alcohol in those drinks, genius.
Did you mean Zoro's? Zoro's penis
Is that all you had?
As in point one zero
you mean you had four margaritas and 2 mixed drinks and blew zeros...it's a cinco de mayo miracle?
thank you! god how frustrating is crap like this?

Perinatal Transmission of Yellow Fever, Brazil, 2009
On This Page
Suggested citation for this article
To the Editor: Although urban cases of yellow fever have not been reported in Brazil since 1942, sylvatic yellow fever is still endemic to the northern and middle-western states. In the past decade, the endemic area has spread southward and eastward, approaching most populated states (1). In 2009, there was an outbreak of sylvatic yellow fever in São Paulo State that caused 28 cases and 11 deaths. In the affected area, there had been no reports of yellow fever since the 1930s (2). In the outbreak setting, a case of perinatal yellow fever transmission was diagnosed.
The mother was a 30-year-old woman exposed to yellow fever in late pregnancy in a sylvatic area near Piraju (23°11′44′′S, 49°22′54′′W), a city 100 km from Botucatu. The patient had not received yellow fever vaccine and had not traveled to yellow fever–endemic regions in the previous months. The exposure to yellow fever occurred during regular walks in a sylvatic area, a habit that continued until late pregnancy. She had fever, headache, and jaundice on March 14, 2009. Three days later, on March 17, she delivered a female infant through vaginal partum in a hospital in her hometown.
The mother´s symptoms were mild. She was admitted to Botucatu Medical School Hospital 7 days after delivery; she had fever, jaundice, and conjunctival suffusion. Liver enzymes were elevated (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] 246 U/L, alanine transaminase [ALT] 324 U/L, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase 221 U/L, and alkaline phosphatase 338 U/L). She was mildly anemic (hemoglobin level 10.2 g/dL), but leukocyte and platelet counts were within reference ranges. There were no other laboratory abnormalities. She was discharged after 7 days with complete recovery.
The infant girl was born asymptomatic on March 17, with a birthweight of 3,800 g and Apgar scores of 9–10. She was discharged from the hospital after 2 days of exclusive breast-feeding. On the third day of life, she had fever and cyanosis and was readmitted to the local hospital with suspected pneumonia. She received antimicrobial drugs but showed no improvement. On the 8th day of life, she had hematemesis, melena, bleeding at venipuncture sites, hypoglycemia, and oliguria.
The newborn was transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Botucatu Medical School Hospital. At admission, she had hypotension, tachycardia, cutaneous paleness, jaundice, hepatomegaly, and melena. The initial diagnostic hypothesis was congenital or hospital-acquired sepsis, but the mother´s diagnosis prompted doctors to investigate possible yellow fever. The infant was intubated for ventilatory support and received volume expansion, vasoactive amines, antimicrobial drugs, blood components (erythrocytes, platelets, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate), and drugs to control bleeding. Liver enzymes values were initially high (AST 4,072 U/L, ALT 1,420 U/L) but fell abruptly within 3 days (AST 150 U/L, ALT 114 U/L).
Despite the therapy, the newborn experienced liver and renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, seizures, and finally coma. She died on the 12th day of life (4th day of hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit). Autopsy specimens showed massive liver necrosis, pulmonary hemorrhage, and acute tubular necrosis (Figure).
The mother had serologic tests (immunoglobulin M antibody capture ELISA) done on the 11th day of disease. Test results were positive for yellow fever and negative for dengue fever. The newborn had similar results from serum samples collected 5 days after onset of symptoms with confirmation by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). RT-PCR was performed as described by Deubel et al. (3). Nucleotide sequencing showed a wild yellow fever virus belonging type I of South American genotype 1E, according to the classification proposed by Vasconcelos et al. (4). RT-PCR performed with samples of the mother´s serum did not amplify yellow fever virus sequences. However, the serum was collected on the 11th day post symptoms when the sensitivity of the test is low.
The vertical transmission of arboviruses has been documented. Pouliot et al. reviewed direct and indirect evidence for vertical transmission of dengue virus (5). Vertical transmission has also been reported for West Nile encephalitis and western equine encephalitis (6). This is not the case for yellow fever. Reports of yellow fever during pregnancy are scarce (7), and we found none that describe vertical transmission to newborns. However, vaccine virus was isolated from asymptomatic newborns from pregnant women who were inadvertently administered 17D vaccines (8). Still, mother-to-child transmission in late pregnancy or during delivery is a likely explanation for this newborn infection. The possibility of acquiring the virus through a mosquito bite is unlikely because urban cases of yellow fever have not occurred in Brazil in the past 50 years and were not reported in the present outbreak.
The timing of the newborn's symptoms also argues against the possibility of transmission from a mosquito. We cannot rule out transmission through breast-feeding, which has been reported for the yellow fever vaccine virus (9). However, this would presuppose a short incubation period. In conclusion, this case points out to the possibility of vertical transmission of yellow fever. We imagine that similar cases can occur in yellow fever–endemic settings and may be identified by improved surveillance.

By Leslie Sinclair, DVM
Leslie Sinclair, DVM says: Kennel cough is usually a fairly mild dog cold, and most cases are caused by the Bordetella bronchiseptica bacterium, but canine parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, and distemper virus also cause kennel cough symptoms. Most healthy dogs recover in about a week, with or without treatment, but this mild upper respiratory infection can take a nasty turn, so closely watch and carefully tend any dog with kennel cough.
The hallmark symptom of kennel cough is a honking cough that begins five to ten days after grooming, boarding, hospitalization, or any event that involved exposure to other dogs. For most dogs, this is the only symptom, and they continue to eat and play and otherwise appear to be healthy. Some dogs don't cough, however, and some run a fever, have a poor appetite, become lethargic, and have clear or yellow discharge from their eyes and/or nose. Dogs with mild symptoms generally do not need medical treatment, although cough suppressants make them feel better and antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the bacterial component of the disease and any secondary bacterial infection.
Your dog should receive vaccines against canine adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, and distemper virus as part of her core vaccine regimen. An injectable vaccine against Bordetella bronchiseptica is available, but a more effective vaccine is a nose drop that fights both Bordetella bronchiseptica and parainfluenza virus. This local vaccine interacts directly with the immune system cells in the nose and throat, which act as the first line of defense against a kennel cough infection, stimulating faster and stronger protection. The drawback, however, is that the nose drop vaccine does not last as long as the injectable. Dogs who regularly or occasionally spend time with other dogs require the intranasal kennel cough vaccine every six months. Be sure to keep your records updated.

At LCS we pay utmost attention to the end product delivery and hence, are very specific to editing and proof reading services that we provide. We ensure that the final deliverables look like one piece of work and is free from any type of factual, general or silly mistake. In case where multi-lingual translations take place the chances are much more of ignoring and missing out things.
LCS offers wide range of services in editing like content editing, video editing, audio editing, and picture editing. While editing our editors make sure that the product seems coherent. Our editing team improves the subject matter in terms of impact, brevity, syntax, style, tone usage, flow of thoughts and clarity of idea. Our editors work in coordination with the authors to ensure that while editing, the subject matter does not lose its essence or core idea. We provide editing services not only in English but in multiple European and Asian languages.
Proofreading is very much required for the written content. It means correcting any grammatical mistakes, syntax error, spelling mistakes or typographical errors. While proofreading, special attention is given to punctuation also. We have experienced proofreaders whose eyes work like error detectors! Starting from a small comma mistake, to placement error, to typing error nothing can escape their eye! It may seem stupidity to search for tiny mistakes in proofreading. But just read an example below wherein a cautious signboard accidentally omitted a comma: Slow children crossing! What they actually meant was Slow, Children crossing.
So, a small comma can divert the meaning of whole sentence. Hence, to avoid your content from having total diverse affect from what it actually intended to, do avail LCS editing and proofreading services.

Women in combat: Your take |
I served in the US Army from 81-87. I served four years in Europe and 2 in the United states. I was the first platoon of women to train with men. I believe it is about time that women are allowed to serve their country in any capacity that a male soldier is allowed too. In other countries women have been allowed to fight for their country beside men. I think it is about time that women have equal rights as soldier's

Jazz Notes
Healdsburg Jazz Fest beats the odds
By Greg Cahill
Call it the blast effect. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., had an unexpected and far-reaching impact on fundraising by nonprofit arts organizations, an impact that rippled across the country. Coupled with the recession and the unprecedented exodus of hundreds of millions of charity dollars to the victims or families of victims of the attacks, it was devastating for arts organizations surviving on a shoestring. The Healdsburg Jazz Festival--already struggling to gain a foothold in a region dominated by wineries that routinely spend big bucks to promote low-brow smooth jazz programming--was among those that felt the blow, forcing the fledgling four-year-old event to scale down its programming this season after three years of promising growth.
"This year was very difficult to pull together," says festival founder and organizer Jessica Felix, a longtime jazz fan who also owns a local art gallery. "Last year took so much energy that our volunteers were slow to recover. Then, after Sept. 11, there was zero momentum. When we finally decided to try and pull a festival off we had to make it somewhat smaller due to the short time frame.
"We didn't have enough time to do a successful fundraising drive, making our sponsorships smaller. The sponsors themselves are all having financial problems as well."
That hasn't stopped Felix and her cadre of volunteers from creating an impressive festival lineup that includes such legendary jazz performers as Cedar Walton, who has recorded with John Coltrane and many others, and trombonist Curtis Fuller, who has contributed to jazz orchestras under the batons of Gil Evans, Count Basie, and Quincy Jones.
On Friday, May 31, pianist and composer Randy Weston--whose 50 albums have garnered two Grammy nominations--offers an African rhythms solo piano recital during two shows (7pm and 9pm) at the Raven Performing Arts Center. It's a rare opportunity to catch a truly remarkable performer in an intimate setting. Tickets are $30. Saturday, June 1, features a day-long concert at the Rodney Strong Vineyards, a triple bill with the Cedar Walton Trio with David Williams and Albert "Tootie" Heath and featured guest Jackie McLean (whose résumé includes stints with Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers); the Curtis Fuller Super Band (with James Williams, Javon Jackson, Michael Bowie, and Louis Hayes); and the Julian Lage Group (with Art Hirahara, Todd Sickafoose, and Alan U'Ren). The concert starts at noon. Tickets are $35. The free concert in Healdsburg Plaza, a festival tradition, returns on Sunday, June 2, with Babatunde Lea Quintet (with Richard Howell and Angela Wellman) and the Operation Jazz Orchestra.
Other festival-related events include Jazz Cinema under the Stars at the Hotel Healdsburg, a program of rare jazz film clips compiled by film historian Mark Cantor. The event--held in the courtyard on Monday, May 27 at 8pm--costs $20 and includes a glass of wine and a dessert. The screening is a benefit for the Healdsburg Jazz Festival Education Program.

Released: Feb 01st, 2002
Running Time: 81
Director: Jonathan Morgan
Company: Wicked Pictures
Terra Part, Joelean, Lee Stone, Calli Cox, Brad Armstrong, Cherie, Joel Lawrence, Kyle Stone (I), Kylie Ireland, Kianna, Pat Myne
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Couples-friendly comedy. Ireland has a fan base.
One sleepless night, Kylie Ireland gets out of bed and starts watching TV, dozing on and off between changing channels: she's the femme fatale in the western barroom who's the cause of stress between Joel Lawrence and Pat Myne; Brad Armstrong is a Kung Fu master in a badly-dubbed chop socky epic; a caveman movie with Lee Stone, Calli Cox, and the single cheesiest pterodactyl ever put before a camera; Kylie again, getting chased by a hockey-mask-wearing clown wielding a chainsaw, and taking refuge with mountain man Kyle Stone; a cheesy infomercial offering a new exciting career selling dildos door-to-door; a war movie with Jason McCain as a wounded GI attended by a Red Cross nurse - or is he dead?
Morgan's wit and eye for clich�s serves him well here as writer and director. Couples-friendly and clever, this should please everyone who is familiar with Ireland and/or Morgan.
