You are probably familiar with the most famous paintings from Hardanger, but come and see us and we can promise you a wide range of experiences in the same spirit.
Handicraft traditions and innovative artists leave their mark on many of the memories our guests take with them when they leave. Much of this will live on in people's every day life, either as visual art or as utility articles in the kitchen or living room.
Today Fjord Design (Hardanger Bestikk) is Scandinavia's largest manufacturer of stainless steel flatware. You can buy the flatware at Hardanger Bestikk in Kinsarvik and several jewellery shops and cutlery shops across the country.
At Mælen Farm in Herand near Jondal, the artist Arne Bakke Mælen has built a modern gallery and workshop in traditional building style, Hardanger Kulturgalleri. Observe the contrast between modern design and old traditions in spectacular surroundings. Here you can also buy his ceramic work.
In the Hjadlane Gallery for Contemporary Art in Osa, Ulvik, you will find various examples of pastel, drawing and painting techniques. Lars G. Polden lives and works in a listed property at Hjadlane, built by Osa Fossekompani in 1917. This is where he finds inspiration for landscapes and life in general.
When in Hardanger, what people wear may not be the first you notice, but visit on 17 May and this will change. This is the day when Norway celebrates its independence, and many people dress up in their national costumes (called bunad in Norwegian).
The bunad is a traditional dress dating back to a time when each village had their own distinctive dress customs. With all its delicate handicraft, the Hardanger bunad has intricate embroidery on the apron and colourful chest cloth. It is a spectacular sight.
Do not miss the fantastic exhibition of the Hardanger bunad costumes at the Hardanger Folk Museum in Utne. Here you can also buy accessories to the bunad.
You can buy the Hardanger bunad and all its accessories at the following places:
Traditional jewellery is sold at several jewellery and souvenir shops in Hardanger and other places in Norway.
People from across the world will tell you about the sweet cherries and the apple juice they got to taste whilst visiting Hardanger. The image left on their minds is often that of orchards in blossom.
Visit the charming Måge Farm Shop, Bleietunet in Ullensvang, Kjærland Farm Shop in Granvin or Steinstø Fruit Farm and Café in Steinstø for real local farm shop experiences. While travelling along the Hardangerfjord, you may during July - September buy fresh Hardanger fruit, such as apples, plums and sweet cherries of different kinds, directly from the local farms.
The six thousand year old Folgefonna Glacier is the ultimate origin of Isklar Water, a natural mineral water. The glacial water is captured the instant it burst naturally from the mountain side, and bottled at source on the shore of the Hardangerfjord.

But with the way these two fight, they just might blow everything up themselves first!

I met with the parks department today at Georgetown and found out some great news about this course.
There are lots more positive change on the way, and that's in addition to all the great changes that have already been made. A number of the holes are going to be changed to make them longer or more difficult, and they're planning on adding 6 more holes to make it a 24 hole course!
I walked the entire course and saw what's going to change and where new holes are going to be added. The additions and changes really take advantage of the elevation changes, which is one of the great strengths of this park. That will make for some more challenging holes and they're also adding a 450+ ft par 4 hole which is super sweet. This is really going to be a solid course when they're done with it.
And I nearly forgot, there's already talk of cementing the long pads. I'm sure that's a ways off because the changes need to be completed first, but it sounds like it's in the works.
The parks department lots has lots of great things going on in Georgetown will plenty more to come, so stay tuned!

Lipinski ran for re-election in 2012. He defeated challenger Farah Baqai in the Democratic primary on March 20, 2012, and won re-election by defeating challenger Richard Grabowski (R) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[2][3]
He ran for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. He ran unopposed in the Democratic primary.[4] The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Lipinski is a more moderate left of center Democratic Party vote. As a result, he may break with the Democratic Party line more than his fellow members.
Lipinski earned a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University, a Master's Degree in Engineering-Economic Systems from Stanford University, and a PhD in Political Science from Duke University.[1]

National security
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Lipinski voted in favor of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[9]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Lipinski voted in favor of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[9]
Lipinski voted in favor of HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[10] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[9]
Lipinski voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[9]
Farm bill
On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[11] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[12][13] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[13] Lipinski voted with 88 other Democratic representatives in favor of the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[14][15] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582 page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[15] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[16] It included a 1 percent increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and the protection of the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts. Lipinski joined with the majority of the Democratic party and voted in favor of the bill.[14][15]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[17] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[18] Lipinski voted to approve the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[19]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[20] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Lipinski voted against HR 2775.[21]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Lipinski voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States. The vote largely followed party lines.[9]
Healthcare Reform Rules
Lipinski voted in favor of House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[9]
Keep the IRS Off Your Healthcare Act
Lipinski voted against HR 2009 - Keep the IRS Off Your Healthcare Act of 2013. The bill passed through the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 232-185. The bill would prevent the IRS and Treasury Secretary from enforcing the powers provided to them in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The vote largely followed party lines.[9]
Social issues
Amash amendment
Lipinski voted against House Amendment 413 - Prohibits the National Security Agency from Collecting Records Under the Patriot Act. The amendment failed on July 4, 2013, by a vote of 205-217. The amendment would have prohibited the collection of records by the National Security Agency under the Patriot Act. Both parties were split on the vote.[9]
House vote on abortion ban
On June 18, 2013, the House voted 228-196 on HR1797, mostly along party lines, to approve a ban on abortions occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy.[22][23][24] A number of members crossed over party lines in their votes. The vote was largely symbolic, as the Senate was not expected to take up the bill, and the White House threatened to veto the legislation.[25] Lipinski was one of six Democratic members who voted in favor of the ban.
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Lipinski voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 172 Democrats that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[26]
In 2011, the Democratic Party controlled the Illinois redistricting process. After the new maps were completed in June 2011, Republicans filed suit over the legality of the new districts.[27] An additional suit was filed by the League of Women Voters over the fairness of the maps.[28]
In November 2011, memos were released that showed the involvement of Congressional members in the redistricting process. One email written by Eric Lausten (Lipinski's chief of staff) to Tim Mapes -- the top staffer for Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan (D) -- implied the Congressman's input in the ultimate map. "Tim -- Just finished revising the map for Congressman Lipinski's 3rd District. I thinks its moving in right direction...," according to the email. Another email that was released contained a subject heading "Destabilizing Republican Incumbents."[29]
Lipinski ran for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. He ran unopposed in the Republican primary.[4] The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Lipinski ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House to represent Illinois' 3rd District. Lipinkski beat out Richard Grabowski in the election.[30] The signature filing deadline was December 27, 2011, with the primary taking place on March 20, 2012.
Lipinski was endorsed over challenger Farah Baqai.[3] Lipinksi was the only Illinois Democrat in the House to vote "no" on President Obama's national health care law, saying the program was unsustainable, and wanting strong language against federal funding of abortion.[3] According to a February 23, 2012, article in the Chicago Tribune, "His position was at odds with the White House, but in step with his district."[3]
Lipinski defeated challenger Farah Baqai in the Democratic primary on March 20, 2012.[2] In the Republican primary, Richard Grabowski defeated Arthur Jones and Jim Falvey.[2]

I bought one of these for a girlfriend before I got one for me. I mostly got it because she wouldn't shut up about how much she loved it. Haha I'm just kidding...but seriously. it fits my iPhone 5s and is really handy for when I just need my phone/Id/cards...casually. Super cute and well built!
Saturday January 10 2015
My Galaxy S5 cell phone is in an Otter Protective Rubber Case which adds to the size of the phone & did not fit in the outside phone pocket; returned it.. I did not consider this added size when I viewed the size of the wristlet. I have other SAK items and all are excellent quality. I look forward to SAK making a wristlet a wee bit larger to accommodate a larger phone. Hats off to SAK and their free return policy & excellent customer care. I will continue to shop SAK.

I bought the Iris Smartphone Wristlet. I got the Tobacco Turquoise & I love it. The silver & turquoise add just the right amount of bling. I have the Galaxy III phone in a case & it fits snuggly but it fits in the phone pocket. The inside holds everything I need when I'm out shopping or running errands. I bought RFID protective credit card sleeves so I have protection for my credit card, debit card, etc. inside the wallet. The only thing drawback is the change compartment which is on the small side. I have been using my wristlet for about 2 months now & there is no sign of wear. The leather has begun to patina but looks gorgeous. Thanks for a beautiful product.

On June 23rd, 77 members of Congress sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to suspend the investigation and discharge of service members in the Armed Forces because of their sexual orientation. Under the discriminatory law known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," openly gay and lesbian service members and those suspected of "homosexual conduct" may not serve in the military.
By taking leadership of the important issue of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, President Obama would allow openly gay and lesbian service members to continue serving their country and send a clear signal to Congress to initiate the legislative repeal process.

Courtesy of LAGalaxy.com, the complete Robbie Rogers introductory press conference
Expect to see Robbie Rogers in the LA Galaxy's 18-man roster for Sunday's match with Seattle Sounders FC.
The LA Galaxy confirmed via the club's website that on Sunday morning that Rogers' ITC arrived in time for him to participate against the Sounders.
CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Rogers is well aware that because of his sexual orientation that there is going to be scrutiny and possibly a few hateful comments, but he's ready.
During his unveiling as a member of the LA Galaxy after a trade that sent Mike Magee to the Chicago Fire in exchange for Rogers, the 26-year-old talked at length about his move to LA and his place as the first openly gay professional athlete. Although Rogers has received an outpouring of support from the sporting world, he knows that there will be bumpy moments that he intends to meet in stride.
"Our society is changing. Obviously there are a lot of people who are still behind and are not willing to accept the fact that there are gay women and men out there that don't have a choice. I was created this way," said Rogers. "I just those people voice their opinion, this is the United States, and they can say whatever they want. In the end, I'll still love them; I'll still give them a hug if they want one. But I think it is inevitable that everyone will accept that this is just part of life."
Rogers was also asked about New York City FC owner and United Arab Emirates deputy prime minister Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, who has drawn criticism for his nation's stance on homosexuality. The 26-year-old admitted that he'd love an opportunity to sit down with the owner of NYCFC to have an open discussion and show him just how normal that he truly is.
"If I could invite him to sit down and have some coffee with me sometime then I'd love to speak with him and hear his ideas and his beliefs and share mine as well as well because it's a discussion," Rogers said. "What message would I send to him, I wouldn't send him a message, I would just open a conversation with him…I don't know what he thinks that gay men are supposed to be like, I'm sure there are stereotypes that we live up to or that we are so I guess I would just offer an invitation to sit with him and to have a discussion with him. I think that's the important to show him that I'm a lot like the other athletes that he owns."
CARSON, Calif. -- Robbie Rogers may make his LA Galaxy debut on Sunday in the team's match against Seattle Sounders FC, if the club receives his International Transfer Certificate in time.
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told reporters on Saturday that if the club receives Rogers' ITC then he will be placed into the club's 18-man roster. Rogers is already hopeful that he'll be on the squad against Seattle.
"I expect to be in the 18, but I don't know," said Rogers. "I don't expect one way or the other. I just really want us to win."
AC Milan, Everton, Valencia, and Chelsea join as the field is filled for the Guinness International Champions Cup
The field for the Guinness International Champions Cup has been filled.
The LA Galaxy will be joined by AC Milan (Italy), Valencia (Spain), Everton, and Chelsea (Both England), the organizers of the tournament announced on Saturday. Inter Milan, Juventus, the Galaxy and Real Madrid were announced as participants in April.
The tournament opens on July 27 before culminating at Sun Life Stadium in Miami on August 6-7.
CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Rogers knows that he has big shoes to fill.
After being traded to the Galaxy in a deal that sent fan favorite Mike Magee to the Chicago Fire, Rogers must deal with the pressure of replacing the club's former leading goal scorer.
During his 10 appearances with the Galaxy in MLS regular season play, Magee notched six goals, but he'll now be taking his talents to his native Chicago. As Rogers looks to replace Magee's production, he views the expectations as just another challenge.
"As a professional player, there's always pressure. Mike is a great friend of mine and a great soccer player and I would love to play with him because he makes the game easy for everyone," Rogers said. "I know that I'm very motivated to prove myself and I want to be better than I was before. I don't want to be the last cut for the World Cup team; I want to be on the World Cup.
"I want to prove to everyone in this room and everyone in this world that I'm a great footballer, a great soccer player. It doesn't matter that I'm gay or where I'm from so that's not important," said Rogers. "I'm very motivated and really excited because I think that this is going to be a great challenge for me."
And as for what he'd say to Galaxy fans still skeptical or even upset about the deal?
"They want to win. It's great for them, those are the ones that [my sexual orientation] isn't a big deal to them," Rogers said. "I applaud them because it's not a big deal for them that I'm a gay athlete. All I can say to them is that I hope to be better and I hope to be an exciting player to watch, so I'm excited for that challenge to win them over."
Former LA Galaxy midfielder Mike Magee penned a letter to Galaxy fans following his trade to the Chicago Fire.
In his letter, Magee thanks Galaxy fans, staff and the club for his tenure with the club.

CARSON, Calif. -- It's official.
The LA Galaxy have acquired Robbie Rogers from the Chicago Fire in exchange for Mike Magee. Rogers will be eligible to participate upon the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate and could be available for Sunday's match against Seattle Sounders FC.
Galaxy captain Robbie Keane offered his thoughts on the deal.
"I think that everybody is sad to see Mikey go because he's a top player and a great person to have around. He's good for the locker room, so he's certainly going to be missed by everybody, but you have to respect somebody's decision that for family reasons, he wants to go back home. We wish him well and hope that he can have as much success there as he had with the Galaxy. We got another player Robbie, who has trained with us the last couple of weeks and has great qualities so he's going to be a great addition to the squad."

The world's biggest club match will take place this afternoon at Wembley Stadium in London when Bayern Munich takes on Borussia Dortmund.
LA Galaxy Technical Director Jovan Kirovski was on the last Dortmund side that won the Champions League and offers his thoughts on the match here. Meanwhile, LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane offered his own prediction on the match below.
"It's going to be a good game, I like watching Borussia Dortmund. They're a good side with a lot of energy and very attacking minded," said Keane. "However, if there was probably money on it, I'd probably say Bayern Munich, but you shouldn't be putting money on it, you shouldn't be betting."
The LA Galaxy have called a press conference for Saturday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. at The Home Depot Center to announce a player acquistion.
The newly acquired player, LA head coach Bruce Arena, and Galaxy President Chris Klein will all be present for the press conference.
This advisory comes amid reports from multiple outlets including Soccer By Ives and The Washington Post that the LA Galaxy have traded Mike Magee for Robbie Rogers, who according to the USA Today has signed a deal with the Galaxy.
I'll be on the scene tomorrow.

Mexico is world reknown for its skillful artisans in a wide variety of fields. Mexican writer Alberto Ruy Sanchez Lacy called Mexican tile a "chosen skin". Tiles have embellished numerous public and private spaces thoughout Mexico. A glimpse anywhere in Mexico, particularly in the central states, shows the widespread use of talavera tiles decorating a broad range of spaces from kitchens, fountains, facades, interiors of luxurious hacienda homes to churches. It is through traditional artifacts, such as handcrafted tiles, that one can perceive an artisan's sensibility, and creativity. Handcrafted ceramic tile is a rooted cultural heritage in Mexico, since its practice of making it began in the late sixteen century, around 1570 and 1573. Mexican ceramic tiles have actively played a distinguished role as an important utilitarian and decorative element in Mexican architecture.
Mexican tile is functional, beautiful, and practical, it provides a long lasting wall or surface that is easy to care and maintain. You can install Mexican tiles in virtually any area you want to enjoy their warm and beauty.The tiles are made from clay dug out of the ground and fired to a temperature at which the clay undergoes chemical changes and becomes permanently hard. Then the tile is glazed and decorated by hand, and fired once again to give it its final and lively finish. Its physical characteristics make Mexican tiles particularly attractive and distinctive. Mexican tiles are concave (not perfectly flat). They are characterized as unique, irregular, functional, and expressive.
|2 7/8 x 5 7/8 in.
|Red body bisque, irregular and concave (not perfectly flat).
|Crazed Effect
|Crazing effect refers to small cracks on the surface of a tile, characteristic which is inherent and may be visible before and/or after installation. However, over time this attribute may become more prominent or can be enhanced by using a contrasting colored grout.
|Installation Recommendations
|The house number tiles do not have hanging holes. They will have to be attached directly onto the desired surface. You can also hang the house numbers using a frame (metal/wood). We currently dont have any house number frames. Most customers that prefer a frame will have one made for them. If you will be attaching the house number tiles directly onto the wall there are several products you can use. You can use regular tile thin set or a product called Liquid nails. Some adhesive products may be affected by the weather. Please read instructions carefully before installing.
|Recommended Grout Type & Width
|1/4 in. grout line suggested. Use sanded grout when doing grout lines of 1/4 in. or more; and non-sanded grout when less than 1/4 in. We recommend to seal tile before grouting and to seal grout after installation. For further advice, contact your professional tile installer.
|Color, Size, or Design Variation
|Slight variations are expected for all house numbers. For instance, size, color and design are all likely to vary due to the hand made process. Please note shades of color are seen differently on computer monitors. Lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee items ordered as add-ons will match those from the original orders.
|Care Recommendations
|Clean tile house numbers with mild cleanser and damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners.

Perfect magnet
found exactly what i was looking for, it came quick in the mail
Good for us
Magnets are great, but be prepared because they are on the small side
Beautiful customization
I love my save the dates! We're doing a cruise destination wedding and I searched high and low to find a save the date that made sense. This one fit the bill perfectly. I love that I could add my colors and loved the font options! Thanks magnet street!
Nice designs and easy to use
This could not have been easier to create and to order. The final product was of great quality and quick to process and deliver.
Exactly what I was looking for
While planning a cruise wedding, I found it difficult to think of the right words concerning the cruise date versus our wedding date. I saw these magnets and knew they were perfect! I changed the colors to match a more tropical feel. Loved the end result.

Late Rally Falls Short; Anderson Holds On for 112-108 Win over Men's Basketball
January 25, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Down by as many as 16 with 8:40 left to go in the second period, Pfeiffer University nearly completed the comeback falling just short of Anderson University 112-108 in Conference Carolinas mens basketball on Monday night. The Trojans led the Falcons 12-7 in made three-pointers shooting 54.7% from the field. Anderson, having the ball bounce their way on many tough shots throughout the night, improve to 12-4 overall, 7-3 in conference play. The Falcons see their four-game win streak come to an end falling to 11-5, 6-4.
Nick Trull (Charlotte, NC) knocked down a wild layup at the 8:40 mark that put Anderson up 16, 69-85. After a layup and a three-point play the hard way by Athalie Rivera (Baltimore, MD), Pfeiffer had cut the deficit back to 10, down 87-77 with seven minutes to play. Trull would complete a three-point play of his own pushing the Trojan lead back to 15 before the Falcons were able to reduce that lead back into single digits after an alley-oop from Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) to James Crowder (High Point, NC) brought Pfeiffer to within nine.
A Pettiway free-throw got the hosts within four at 95-91, but Anderson went on a 7-0 run in 47 second span capped off by a pair of free throws by Brandon Young (Belmont, NC) that gave the Trojans a 102-91 lead. Down by 13 with 1:38 to go, Pfeiffer was eventually able to cut that margin down to four after a Pettiway three with 29 seconds to go. After a Tony Anderson (Greenville, SC) free throw put Anderson up five with 10 to go, a quick layup by Pettiway brought the contest to a one possession game. Oskars Ernsteins (Rigas, LATVIA) would then hit two crucial free throws in the final five seconds allowing Anderson to hold on for the win.
Individually, Anderson put five scorers in double-figures led by Andersons 28, Youngs 25 and Trulls double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Pfeiffer was led by Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) and his 27 points, with Pettiway finish one point behind him with 26.
The Falcons did shoot 49.4% from the floor, but only 27% from behind the three-point line. A momentum-swinging contest saw Anderson hit the big, wild shots late, not missing many free throws when it counted most. Pfeiffer missed a dozen free throws on the night.
The Falcons will look to re-group on Thursday night at Lees-McRae, before hosting Queens in a nationally televised matchup on CBS College Sports (also carried live on FS Carolinas and FS South) at noon on Saturday.

This spacesuit was the last spacesuit worn on the moon, and was made for, and worn by astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commander of the Apollo 17 mission in December of 1972.
The suit was constructed by the International Latex Corporation, with the designation A-7LB, and consisted of approximately 26 layers of materials designed to protect the astronaut from the extremes of temperature to be found in the vacuum of space and on the lunar surface. When combined with the portable life support system and other components making up the extravehicular mobility unit, it all weighed approximately 185 pounds here on earth.
Transferred to the national Air and Space Museum from NASA in 1974.

Known as "North America's Oldest City," St. John's is located on the rugged and beautiful eastern edge of Newfoundland and was purportedly named for the feast day of John the Baptist, which was the day Italian explorer John Cabot sailed into the harbor in June 1497.
Claimed as England's first overseas colony under Queen Elizabeth I in 1583, St. John's was temporarily captured by the Dutch (1665) and French (1689, 1707), but was re-claimed each time by the British and re-fortified. Brits used St. John's during the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, and the US Army Air Corps established an air base here during World War II for pilots flying into Europe.
Though this was their maiden voyage to the island, the Heartbreakers took Newfoundland by storm Saturday night for the first of two performances at the Mile One Centre in St. John's. Undeterred by blustery cold weather and snow flurries earlier in the day, fans packed the arena for an inspiring opening set from the Blind Boys of Alabama, who were a last minute-addition to the bill after Jimmy Cliff was forced to cancel due to a scheduling conflict.
Taking the stage shortly after 9 pm with fans stomping and chanting "Petty!", Tom and the band launched straight-away into a rollicking "Listen to Her Heart" that got the crowd up and moving right off the bat. Ironically, with so many legendary originals to choose fro, it was the band's covers of some of their own musical influences that stood out. "I'm A Man" - the B-side to Bo Diddley's eponymously named first single released in 1955 - re-appeared in the setlist for the first time on this leg, as dark and wicked as ever. "Traveling Light," off J.J. Cale's fantastic 1976 album Troubador, also re-surfaced, this time a little looser with more improvisation.
Night two here in St. John's is just a few hours away, and then it's off to Ireland! Stay tuned for more photos and videos from Canada and the last leg in the U.S.!

1 Overview
If you want to add support for an unsupported database system, you found the right documentation. This step-by-step guide describes all the steps that need to be processed in order to support a new database system.
1.1 QA Test suite
First we need to make sure, what is the qa test suite. With Activiti there are two projects that make up the qa. These are:
- activiti-engine-examples
- activiti-engine-test-api
These tests need to be run successfully before we consider Activiti to support a database system.
1.2 Run a test with H2
Before we start to go through all the steps, we should execute the test scripts on an already supported database. We assume, you already checked out the activiti project, setup the demo and configured ant and maven on your system.
Before we can run the test, we need to provide a database connection. This is done via a properties file located in <user_home>/.activiti/jdbc. There create a file called h2.properties adding this content:
This setup assumes an installed h2 database with no tables in it! All tests are constructed to create the database before running the test and dropping the database after finishing the tests. If you have setup the database and the configuration file, you can proceed with the next command.
Navigate to the "activiti-engine-examples"-project and execute following command:
mvn --Ddatabase=h2 clean install
You should see lots of info on the console. Most important are the tests that are run with this command. You also saw the creation and dropping of the database before and after the testing. This defines another point in the configuration for a new database system.
2 Step-by-Step Guide
Now we will describe the parts that have to be completed for the purpose of this document. These are:
- Setup a database with schema and user
- Modify the database creation and deletion
- Add configuration file to activiti´s user_home
- Modify the pom.xml
- Running the test project
- Analyze test-results
- Run QA Test suite script
2.1 Setup a database with schema and user
This should be the easiest part of the description. You need to setup the database you want to test with a schema and a user. The user needs to have enough privileges to execute all the following sql statements.
You may already write down the information that is needed to connect to this database and fetch the jdbc driver for this database. Then you can proceed to the next step.
2.2 Modify the database creation and deletion
Activiti uses two sql files to create and drop the database tables. These are located at:
<db-profile> is an identifier; you would also use it to run your tests against. We did that in chapter "Run a test with H2". Before you can start the testing of Activiti against a new database, you need to setup these two scripts. Start with copying the two files and rename them to your <db-profile> setting. After that you need to work out create, alter and drop statements for your database system. Be cautious to place those files in the same directory!
2.3 Add configuration file to activiti´s user home
As we did in the introduction sample, you have to provide the database connection configuration in the activiti user home directory. Please create a properties file like this:
You need to add the jdbc parameters like this
This is just a sample configuration for h2! You need to change the properties to your database environment.
2.4 Modify the pom.xml
Since the database connection is achieved by jdbc, you need to provide a jdbc-driver for the tests. There are two ways you can provide the jdbc driver:
- Adding the appropriate dependency to maven pom.xml
- Install jdbc driver to your local maven repository
If you have a maven dependency xml snippet for your jdbc driver, fine! Then you can skip the next step and go directly to step 2 "Modify maven pom.xml". Otherwise you need to install the library into your local maven repository first.
1 Install the library into your local maven repository
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path to library> -DgroupId=<groupId>-DartifactId=<artifactId> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=jar
Example for mysql:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=mysql.jar -DgroupId=mysql -DartifactId=mysql-connector-java driver -Dversion=5.1.6 -Dpackaging=jar
After having installed the library you should now get the dependency snippet like this:
You can this example as basis and add your dependency information here. Make sure you have the scope property set to "test". This dependency is only needed for tests. In a running Activiti scenario you would provide the jdbc driver for the activiti-engine. But this goes beyond the scope of this document.
2 Modify the pom.xml
If you open the pom.xml from one of the mentioned projects, you will see an xml file. Navigate to the dependencies area of the database profile. This should like this:
You can add your database driver dependency at the marked location. Save the file and proceed to the next step. You may return to this step to also modify the pom.xml for the other activiti project.
2.5 Runing the test project
You can run the test from the command line located in the appropriate test project. This is either "activiti-engine-examples" or "activiti-engine-test-api". To be sure that your changes in project activiti-engine are up to date, run
mvn clean install
from the activiti-engine project location. After that execute this command:
mvn --Ddatabase=<db-profile> clean install
* *If you got lucky and the test didn´t fail one test, you can proceed with the other project. For the unlucky guys like mine, proceed with the next step!
2.6 Analyze test results
This is the hardest part and I can only give you some advice how to get to the cause of test failures. Any test logs errors and output to the target folder. In case of errors search for
These reports should help you a lot to get the conditions on which those errors rely on. The following points are at least a checklist or advice list I found out adding support for some databases:
- If tests fail, drop the database table yourself before running the mvn command once again. The database will only be dropped, if the tests fail on assertion, not on exceptions.
- Debugging tests might help to get the processing right. This helped me a lot to encounter wrong myBatis sqls.
- If you get errors like "database not clean" or "expected 0 got 3", this could be due to timing problems. We had lots of them adding mysql! But these might also derive from system performance. At least for some tests with timers.
- Sorting algorithm might also be a point you should consider.
- Always start investigating on the first job that failed. The others might be due to the circumstances that flawed test consigned.
If you encounter a bug in the test, you can file a bug in JIRA! Otherwise after you fixed something you can once again run the test.
2.7 Run QA test suite script
Last step is to successfully run the qa script. This test combines creation of activiti-engine and executing all tests for database support. If this test is successful, you have added support for your database environment. We would be happy, if you would provide those scripts to the community.
2.7.1 Setup / Configuration
The following lines will guide you through running the test suite. For this example we will use MySQL 5.1 as database environment.
- Checkout activiti project from SVN
Before you can run the test suite, you need to [checkout activiti\|../display/ACT/Developers+Guide#DevelopersGuide-Buildingadistribution|]. The qa tests are located in the projects 'activiti-engine-examples' and 'activiti-engine-test-api', but you do not need to start them from there separately. You will start the tests from the quality assurance project. But before we have to create a new database schema and user.
- Create a new schema and user
First we need to create a new schema and a new user for the database connection. We set the schema name to 'activiti'.The users name and password are 'qa'! If you need guidance on how to create a new schema and user for MySQL, please consult their documentation. Now we need to make sure that the test suite gets a database connection.
- Create a database connection file
You need to provide databse connection properties for the test suite to be executed. This information goes into a file called 'mysql.properties'. Please create the following folder structure:
/Unknown macro: {user_home}/.activiti/jdbc
Within this directoy create a new file mysql.properties like this:jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
2.7.2 Run the test suite
Now we are ready to run the qa script. Navigate to /activiti/trunk/qa/ci and run the script that is suitable for your operating system like this:run-test-db-standalone mysqlIf you would like to run the qa script against H2, then you need to execute this command:run-test-db-standalone h2

Staff and teenagers conduct a ghost hunt at the Everett Y on Saturday night.
An unknown voice heard over a speaker before music is turned on during an exercise class. A punching bag swinging when no one is near it. Doors banging shut.
Everett YMCA staff and patrons often blame a ghost they call "George" for these and other strange occurrences that have no clear explanations.
For the past year, Jacob Nix, 12, Santana Ortiz, 14, and Timothy Wood, 12, listened closely to these stories and pushed to learn more.
The friends, members of the YMCA, researched history books about the area at the Everett Library.
One book they scoured for clues was "The First 100 Years: An Illustrated History of The YMCA of Snohomish County." They interviewed the book's author, historian Larry O'Donnell.
Through their research the boys found out that a fire on March 30, 1920, destroyed much of the original 1901 YMCA building, at 2720 Rockefeller Ave. That matched with unconfirmed stories of a man, possibly a janitor, who helped children escape the blaze but who never made it out of the burning building.
"We're curious and we thought we may not learn any more if we were to do it ourselves," Jacob said. "We should at least find somebody who is professional about this and have nifty things to help them as well."
They sent an email to Seattle Paranormal Incidence Research and Investigation Team, or SPIRIT, and asked that a group come visit the Everett YMCA. Lynnwood residents and founders of SPIRIT, Gene and Danielle Rathbun, their 15-year-old son, Anthony, and four others started the free investigation Saturday night after the YMCA closed for the evening. The SPIRIT team was joined by the boys, Catherine Rasnack, YMCA teen coordinator, and Desiree Boss, a YMCA teen center assistant.
About 10:30 p.m., armed with cameras, recorders, electromagnetic detectors, and walkie-talkies as their connection to others at "base camp" in the teen center conference room, a small team went on a ghost hunt through the weight rooms.
Santana set a small detector on the floor and watched for a light to flash on.
"If something comes by it and touches it, or if an energy field passes through it's supposed to go red," said Brett Kemnitz, a SPIRIT investigator from Renton.
He and Boss asked questions to try to get a response from "George" or any other ghosts.
"I've heard stories that you've dropped weights before," Boss said. "If you could, do it for us now. We're here and we're listening."
Groups of two or three people also rotated throughout the 1920s gym, and walked the halls of "Ghost Town," a condemned portion of the original brick building that in once served as a hostel. The teams used recorders and video cameras as they tested for any evidence of paranormal energy or activity. Those who stayed in the conference room watched video feeds from cameras set up in eight different locations.
Several people who were watching the video feed said they saw a punching bag in the gym move when no one was around it.
"It was noticeable on the camera," Santana said. "I'm really excited. I hope they find something (in the footage)."
The ghost hunt was fun even though he didn't see or hear anything that was creepy or bizarre, Timothy added. For him, the best part of the investigation was getting to go into Ghost Town several times.
This investigation was different from others SPIRIT has done because younger people were involved, Danielle Rathbun said.
"We don't normally involve anyone under the age of 16 but because Jacob contacted us and it was his group who did their own mini-investigation we included them and included our own son," she said.
The official investigation lasted from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. The group plans to review the video and recordings from that entire time to look for any abnormalities. That process will take about a month, Rathbun said. SPIRIT will probably plan another investigation in order to cover more ground at the Everett YMCA.
That's good news for Jacob, who said he is interested in going on another ghost hunt someday, even though parts of this one were a bit scary.
"I'd call people fools if they weren't afraid of doing this stuff," he said. "We are afraid of what we don't know and we know as much about (the) paranormal and (the) supernatural as Benjamin Franklin had on electricity at his time. We still have a lot to learn."
