Great for programs or multi day itinerary
Used these as a multi-day programs/itinerary for our destination wedding. So cute and easy to personalize. They came out great! We put them in the welcome bags for our guests. Only reason they have 1 star for sizing is because I don't believe they come in any other size, but we didn't need it so I didn't check.
Awesome card
This fish design card is absolutely awesome and adorable! The textured paper we got was nice too. We customized the colors to match our wedding theme.

Affies picked up their first victory over Grey Bloem in six years on Saturday.
In a rivalry that stretches back to 1953, Grey Bloem have dominated this fixture – winning 26 of the 34 previous clashes. However, Affies delivered an impressive performance to pick up their fourth victory over the boys from Bloemfontein.
Affies recorded a 35-29 victory in Pretoria. The hosts led 20-10 at the break as they scored two tries to one.
Grey Bloem hit back twice in the second stanza as they trailed 20-17 and 23-22 after the break, but Affies had a strong finish to the match as they scored two more tries to earn the six-point win.
This was Grey Bloem's second loss of the season.
In the other major schoolboy clashes over the weekend, Paarl Gym eased to a 28-8 win over Paul Roos while Kearsney shocked Glenwood with a 20-14 away win. Dale also edged Selborne 10-9 in the big Eastern Cape derby.

Sometimes, I think of the theorycrafting community as soothsayers, seeking to divine reality or the future by observing the flight of birds or the entrails of animals.
Take the new Glyph of Hammer of Wrath. In patch 3.0.8, it will reduce the cost of Hammer of Wrath by 100%. What does this mean for Ret paladins?
A while back, I theorized that Blizzard was trying to limit Retribution's use of Consecration through mana constraints. The way the math worked was that we had a mana-neutral basic rotation which was used for the first 80% of the fight, and a mana-hungry burn rotation for the last 20%.
However, with the new Glyph of Hammer of Wrath, that theory goes out the window. There's no difference in mana consumption between the last 20% and first 80% anymore. That means that Consecration becomes an even more vital part of the Rotation, and is expected to be used much more often, as you no longer need to save mana for Hammer of Wrath.
I guess Blizzard has given up on the idea of keeping Retribution from using Consecration. I suppose it's for the best, though. Consecration is a good method of increasing our PvE DPS without spiking PvP damage damage. Still, it's slightly odd to be expected to use an AoE spell against a single target.

This is an example of where the whole "Lets move away from +threat modifiers" ideology causes problems. I mean lets face it, consecration is a tanking ability. Maybe not originally designed to be, but it has developed into that. And by not using +threat modifiers on it, it's useful to the other spec because it causes a decent amount of damage. They need to just up the threat it causes by like 200%, but lower its damage by about the same amount -- or at least to the point where it is basically causing the same damage as a normal strike or white weapon hit over the entire length of the spell. That'd make it essentially useless for ret because you'd be trading a cooldown and using extra mana for the same overall damage...i.e. not worth it.
- 1:16 PM, January 15, 2009
- Rohan said...
I disagree that it's a tanking ability. It was originally in the Holy tree, if you recall.
No matter how bad Consecrate gets, Ret will still use it because
1. Ret has empty GCDs
2. Ret doesn't have anything else to spend the mana on.

Nerfing consecrate for ret would be a huge AoE DPS nerf.
- 1:37 PM, January 15, 2009
- Argent said...
Anonymous, Consecrate does benefit from the +171% holy threat of Righteous Fury, so there's already a +threat modifier on it.
I'd think of Consecrate as a fairly mana-hungry DoT that happens to affect an area rather than a single target. But, even if you want to think of it as an AoE effect, there are at least 3 other classes using similar AoE spells in their normal rotation now:
Shamans: Chain Lightning replacing a regular lightning bolt for faster casting time at the same damage
Warriors: Shockwave and Thunderclap are both AoE effects, as is Demoralizing Shout.
Death Knights: Death & Decay
Hunters: Multishot used to be a part of some rotations; is it still?
- 1:42 PM, January 15, 2009
- Anonymous said...
True it was in the Holy tree...but as it stands now, which of the three trees could survive without it? Ret could, holy could, but Prot not so much -- so yeah, AOE tanking ability is what it has become.

Nerfing Consecration for Ret would be a huge DPS nerf in general, never mind for AoE situations.
I wonder if the new HoW Glyph by Blizz might indicate a desire on their part to make HoW a more common part of Ret DPS in the place of Consecration. I have in mind the warrior Sudden Death talent with allows Execute to be used regardless of target HP, but proc'd from Crusader Strike rather than all melee attacks. Once implemented, they could make HoW and Consecration share a cooldown such that they are mutually exclusive.
Well okay, the idea needs some work. But it has to be understood that Consecration isn't just a tanking ability, it's a DPS ability too. Without it Ret DPS would be 400 DPS (~10%) lower than it is now. Limiting it through mana constraints won't work because Int starts becoming a DPS stat and we all take Hunter/Shaman Mail. The only reasonable way to eliminate its use is to provide additional tools for equivalent DPS which is incompatible with Consecration spam.
But new, innovative tools for Ret DPS? Hah, I laugh at you!

Consecration was once the 11pt Ret talent back in the day too. I'd say it's just gone full circle at this point.

- Karl said...
Why must everyone take a spell that that us being used by all three trees and muck with it? It works, leave it alone!
And no, hunters don't use multishot as part of a rotation.. only on Gluth zombies... :-)
But why must you mess with consecration? Is it broken?..
- 8:08 AM, January 16, 2009
- Anonymous said...
No, it's not broken...but I'm getting tired of having it be part of my single target dps rotation when suddenly a new group of mobs show up and I get one shot because I'm behind the single mob dps-ing, so my consecrate is the first thing that hits them.
I really really like the idea of making HoW a reactive ability like sudden death. Maybe it could take the place of righteous vengeance in the ret tree?
- 9:14 AM, January 16, 2009
- Vaelin said...
Consecration, as an AoE tanking ability, is relatively poor in WotLK.
It was the bee's knees in TBC, because it did a respectable amount of damage and gave Paladins great *relative* AoE tanking abilities.
Now, compared to D&D, the new thunderclap, and shockwave... It's really the worst of the 4. The reasoning is that consecration ticks every two seconds or so, and DOESN'T tick immediately when cast, and it scales very poorly.
There are plenty of situations where mobs can spawn, or run through a door or portal, and never be hit by a tick of consecration. And the fact that it doesn't tick on cast makes it a poor choice for proactive add gathering. Avenging Shield and Hammer of Cleave(Righteousness) are both better in this regard so long as there aren't too many mobs.
From a tank's perspective, the fact that a mob can be under the effect of consecration, yet NEVER take any damage, makes it unreliable for exactly what many players think it's good for.
As others have said above, it is an AoE Dot. Useful for both threat and dps. I'd rather it be an AoE that applied a DoT (as a prot tank), but it won't change now.
But who's gonna complain about a buff to Hammer of Execute? ;)

Is the new HoW glyph a major or minor?
- 10:14 AM, January 16, 2009
- Rohan said...
Major. It replaces the current HoW glyph (increase range by 5 yards).
- 11:13 AM, January 16, 2009
- Orgauth said...
So it would seem that there is a major glyph decision to make:
Judgement: +10% damage
Consecration: +25% duration (and subsequently, damage)
Hammer of Wrath: No mana cost
Crusader Strike: -20% mana cost
Which one do you skip?

Why are you antsy about using AoE abilities on single-target fights? Do you not use Divine Storm when there's only one target?
As a DK, I still use Howling Blast on single-target fights. The only problem comes when you are doing cc-dependant fights and are used to using AoE abilities.
- 12:14 PM, January 16, 2009
- Anonymous said...
Consecrate is helpful when the target is stunned. And considering how many classes cant do anything besides trinket out of a stun its a fairly effective combo to either stun or use seal of justice on a consecrated target. Also, there are weapons that proc stun effects and slow effects to add to this chaos.
There is a very real problem balancewise, giving paladins any love in the dps department. Considering they are so multi talanted (healing, buffing, tanking, and psuedo spike DPSing) when you give them a spammable and efficient damage ability it puts them way ahead of the curve. Similiar to the reasons that Resto Shamans have soo many nerfs, its because when someone builds out a hybrid char that effectively dps's AND/OR heals/tanks better than dps char or tank char or healer char you get never ending QQing.

"I really really like the idea of making HoW a reactive ability like sudden death. Maybe it could take the place of righteous vengeance in the ret tree?"
Righteous Vengance is a great talent, please don't suggest they remove it. It does more damage then my divine storm and crusader strike.
They were going to allow Vengance to stack 5 times in the recent PTR build but decided against it. I personally think if they want to up Ret PVE damage they should add Crusader Strike to the list of abilities that proc Righteous Vengance.
- 5:46 PM, January 18, 2009
- PainOlympics said...
Umm, what kind of DK do you play with. The only time a DK uses death and decay in a rotation is at the very beginning to generate runic power. After that it goes the way of the dodo bird. Even when tanking I throw it down for initial threat and maybe one to get an extra handle on adds. But it's definitely not part of a dps rotation. It uses to many runes for that.
- 6:17 AM, January 19, 2009
- Anonymous said...
By the way vengenance going back to 5 stacks is in 3.08. Also i have a bit of off topic question. The changes to judgement of the wise where it now returns a portion of base mana instead of max mana seems like a nerf no? Could someone clarify this for me
- 6:07 AM, January 20, 2009
- Rohan said...
Heh, they reverted the 5-stack change, last I heard.
As for JotW, switching to base mana was a nerf for Holy, but it didn't really make a difference for Ret. Ret doesn't stack extra intellect beyond incidental raid buffs, so it didn't change anything.

The home page includes a featured content carousel, a recently added document list, and a document category tree. The category page shows only the presentations for a specific category and features a category tree browser. The category hierarchy can be managed by DeckShare administrators–no coding is required. The document details page, shown when an end-user clicks on a presentation, shows high-level metadata about the presentation, supporting files that accompany the presentation, related presentations, and a flash-based document preview. The flash-based preview allows end-users to browse the presentation without downloading the entire file.
DeckShare uses Web Quick Start as a foundation. It is built on concepts familiar to anyone who has built or managed a web site: A site consists of collections of assets that get categorized and tagged and then presented in various ways across one or more pages. Assets are stored in Alfresco's Document Management repository and managed through the Alfresco Share User Interface. The look-and-feel of the end-user web site can be completely customized to match client branding needs. And, both the metadata model and category hierarchy can be extended to support specific client requirements.
Because DeckShare is built on Alfresco, it leverages some of the features of the underlying repository. For example, PDF renditions and thumbnails are automatically generated when content contributors upload the file to the repository. Workflow can be leveraged to review and approve presentations before they go live. The workflow can be customized to fit any business process.

I've been wearing the fanning sandals for about 7 years now and they are AWESOME. Super comfy and they feel secure on your foot. I hate when sandals feel like they are going to fly off with every step; not these bad boys. They hold up very nicely too, I still rock my original pair but I've expanded the collection to add some color variety. Highly recommend.
Its the only style of sandals I will ever buy again. Ridiculously comfortable is ridiculously correct. Ive had 4 pairs now and I each pair is more comfortable than the last. Oh, and the bottle opener comes in handy more often than you know!
These sandals are the best thing since nachos! I have owned three pairs of them and continue to rock them even when it's not really appropriate. If you find a more comfortable sandal than this... you're a liar.
My husband has had his reef's for almost 6 years. It was time for a new pair!. Just bought these for father's day, couldn't wait to give them to him!. He love's them, swears by them!!. He wears them all summer long, even his pair that's 6 years old is still in wearable condition!. They hold up great!
Great pair of flip flops. I've had mine for several years and they show no signs of breaking. They stay on you feet and are comfortable. What more could you ask for? Only thing; they're a bit heavy, which keeps them from being perfect in my eyes, but still a wonderful choice in flip flop. Oh and the bottle opener is a nice, if unnecessary, touch.
There has never been a more comfortable sandal, very durable as well! I walked 15 miles through NYC's concrete jungle in one day wearing my Reefs, my legs were a little sore but they held up like a champ!
Expensive for what it is... and not the most comfortable flippity-flopity... but I still have hope they will break in more (only worn them a week).The grey "girl 2" style has some pretty sweet graffics on the treads... but might not be a good surprise to your wife... ha ha haOverall.. ok...
I live at the beach and wear flip flops every day, pretty much year-round. Reef is the only sandal I wear. They have a thicker, arch-friendly sole that makes them super comfortable, and they do not stink after getting wet like Sanuks or Rainbows. The bottle opener is a cool novelty, but otherwise doesn't get in the way. I order a couple pair of Reefs every year and they have never let me down!

Quick bullet points:
- As predicted, Art of War was changed. Overall, Ret is still awesome, but no more 20K crits.
- Seal of Righteousness is really strong at the moment. It's scaling a bit too well with AP. In full Ret gear, with a Ret spec, SoR is looking like my highest DPS seal. Unfortunately, it's our levelling seal for 1-60, where we don't have any SP, so Blizzard will have to be very careful with it. The only solution I can think of is to have a breakpoint in the AP scaling. I.e. the first 1000 AP gets 10% scaling, but all AP after that only gets 5%.
- Divine Storm's graphic is awesome! It's pretty much the single best spell effect in the game. It's like a storm of hammers swirls around you.
- Seals now last for 2 minutes. However, Judgments now invoke a global cooldown, as they should.
- Pets and mounts are sort of spells now. At least, right-clicking the pet or mount causes you to "learn" the pet/mount and puts it in a pane on your character sheet. This is pretty neat, and frees up a ton of bag space. Plus, it's really easy to review your collection. The pane has a display so you can see what each pet looks like.
- There's a built-in calendar now. You can schedule raids, and do sign-ups. It's somewhat bare-bones, but it covers all the basics. In my view, this is a huge step forward for new guilds. In many ways, this simple change has the potential to be the best change for endgame that Blizzard has introduced.
- Potions grant a debuff now that prevents you from drinking another potion until the end of combat. This puts an end to chain-potting, and returns potions to an emergency-use item.
One interesting thing about this change I found is that a lot of casual commenters are predicting that the hardcore would be unhappy with this change, as it makes the endgame more accessible to casuals (no more farming for pots). Meanwhile, at EJ, pretty much everyone is cheering the change. The point is that a lot of the things that the casuals don't like about endgame, the hardcore also do not like. However, the difference is that the hardcore is willing to put up with these negatives, to do whatever they deem necessary to be successful.
On the one hand, that's good, as they're willing to work hard for a goal. If killing a boss requires chain-potting, they will chain-pot. On the other hand, they do lack a sense of proportion about things, and things end up balanced around the extremes, rather than closer to the center. Raid encounters end up balanced assuming that everyone is chaining potions.
- Back to paladins, apparently Consecration and Exorcism now scale with AP as well as SP. The biggest problem with current prot gear is that there is very little strength on it, and that makes it hard to judge how good the the Protection tree is. I'm strongly considering junking all my Prot epics and trying the new Cobalt blacksmithing armor (+Str, +Sta, +def). I also need to find a good DPS 1H weapon. Maybe I'll try Ret Gear + 1H/Shield, and see how that works for general soloing.

Gallery: PHOTOS: Soggy New Yorkers Flock to Human-Powered NYC Premiere ...
If you watch TV, you've probably heard about Revolution by now, but you might not know what it's really about. The show takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where an unknown phenomenon has shut down all technology on Earth, and watching the first episode (which airs on September 17 on NBC at 10pm/9pmc), you'll be able to see how much we rely on electricity for even the simplest things like keeping our ice cream cold. As you can imagine, the mysterious mega-blackout causes major panic, a virtual collapse of civilization and the rise of warlords and militias, throughout which the series follows the Matheson family on their quest to uncover the truth about what caused the breakdown and how power might be restored. While the show clearly has some energy conservation-promoting undertones showing how precious even a small bit of electricity is, it doesn't push that envelope so hard that it's off-putting. Still it was very interesting to see the show's portrayal of technology-less counterparts to the small conveniences we take for granted – text messages need to be handwritten and delivered on horseback, door-less Volkswagen Beetles have been converted into horse-drawn carriages and one of our favorite characters, Aaron, is the show's most helpless person despite having been a Google executive worth $80 million before the blackout.
To drive the point closer to home, NBC's Cat Greenleaf opened the premiere by asking audience members to take their cellphones and pass them to their left to see how that made them feel. Many people simply refused.
Since Revolution is about a world where there is no electricity available, the screening was people-powered by 80 bikers, including one of the stars of the show, Tim Guinee, flanking either side of the audience. The volunteer cyclists spun their wheels diligently during the 1 hour show to manually power the viewing, and at some points early on in the episode, the screen actually went blank. It was unclear whether the glitch was for dramatic effect (if it was, it worked), but the rest of the screening went smoothly. We're also not sure if the choice of non-air-conditioned venue and lukewarm beverages were reflective of Revolution's theme, but it certainly did give us a small taste of what a world without power would feel like.

Pandigital white ereader questions
by raecarr - 11/7/10 6:29 AM
Received my new Pandigital ereader and love it. However the customer service is less than desirable. I have sent several emails with no response. The user guide does not explain how to download books from anywhere but Barnes and Noble. I would like to download from my public library (adobe format) There is a quick start for Adobe ebooks, but I can't find any instructions for it. Also, I can delete bookmarks while reading, but in the browser there is not a check box to do the same -(instructions say there should be) Anybody have more info on this ereader? Thanks for your help. Rae

beautiful seal
I love that you can customize the colors to your exact needs. I'm actually going to be using these square seals as labels for the favors at my wedding. I also chose to do my invitations as well, because this is the one website that I can get my wedding colors just right. I changed the floral color to Azalea, the stripe to classic yellow, the background color to white and the writing to a custom shade in between rainforest and hunter. Just got them in the mail, and they look so great, even better then expected.
A nice touch for the envelope to give it some "zing".

Zipp 404 FireStrike Carbon Road Wheelset - Clincher $3,600.00
Zipp strikes again.
When Zipp first introduced the 404, they were quickly adopted by the most demanding cyclists due to their exceptional aerodynamics and stable, predictable ride quality in a variety of conditions. It was, after all, the new standard for the manufacturer, standing in as its most ambitious design to date. Well, the next chapter in the 404 just gapped its older sibling, claiming the new top spot on the Zipp block. It's called the 404 Firestrike, and while it draws heavily on the Firecrest platform, it also brings a host of technological advancements all its own. Revisions to the rim itself, a refined set of hubs, and a new brake track are just part of what redefines Zipp's standard in carbon wheel development.
The Firestrike 404, like the Firecrest, is designed to bridge the gap between tubulars and clinchers. It retains the 58mm depth, but bumps the brake track width from 26.53mm (external) to 27.5mm. Zipp found that the new design creates a more stable structure, and offers greater vertical and lateral compliance with increased control, comfort, and rigidity. While the 404 benefits from these welcomed additions, to achieve the Zipp-standard of strength and rigidity, the 404 utilizes unidirectional fibers to handle the tensile and comprehensive loading within the rim, and woven fibers in the spoke-hole areas. The Multi-Material Co-Molding process permanently fuses a sub-200-gram aluminum hoop to a dimpled carbon structure that acts as a leaf spring for road vibration and impact. Next, visco-elastic material is inserted between carbon laminate in the rim to reduce road vibration by around 10 percent. Lastly, the revised dimples of the Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) on the curved rim section work to create a slight turbulence directly above the rim surface, smoothing airflow through more frequent and smaller vortices to provide exceptional control and stability — even on the windiest days.
The brake track was also an area of the new 404s that received a significant overhaul, as Zipp's engineers wanted to make the new wheels' braking as predictable in wet weather as in dry. The result is what Zipp calls its Showstopper technology, which introduces a Silicon Carbide (SiC) textured surface that boosts stopping power in wet conditions.
For the build, Zipp used a refined version of its proprietary 88 hub on the front and the new 188 on the rear, called the v10. This new hub design increases torsional rigidity, and it's also stiffer laterally than the last iteration of the 188. Additionally, it features silky-smooth ceramic bearings that distribute load more evenly across the axle. It maintains the "virtual three-cross" lacing pattern, which delivers three-cross durability with a two-cross build. Lastly, preload is now factory-set, and the wheels receive an 18/24 CX-Ray spoke configuration, with Sapim's secure-lock nipples.
The Zipp 404 Firestrike Carbon Road Wheelset - Clincher comes in the color Black with Zipp's new contrasting Impress graphics. The rear wheel is available with either Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo 11-speed compatible freehub bodies. The wheelset includes rim tape, titanium skewers, valve extensions, 700c x 23mm tubes, individual wheel bags, and Zipp's Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads. Please note that these wheels are limited to U.S. shipping only.

Woods' Posts Double-Double; Clutch Free Throws Late Gives Men's Basketball a 100-92 Season Opening Win over Urbana
November 12, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A pair of Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) free throws with 46 seconds remaining broke the sixth and final tie of the night as Pfeiffer University dodged a second-half comeback by Urbana for a 100-92 season opening victory in mens basketball on Friday night in the Merner Gym. Urbana put up 62 second half points coming up just short as the Falcons made eight-straight free throw attempts in those final few seconds.
Pettiways jumper with 13:38 to go in the first half created early breathing room for the Falcons as that sparked a 16-0 run. Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC), Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, FL) and Chris Stokes (Virginia Beach, VA) each drained a three to help put the hosts up 15 at the half way point of the period.
Pfeiffer held that double-digit lead for the remainder of the half as Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) drained a jumper with 6:41 to go for an 18-point Falcon lead before a Yuki Yamaguchi (Tokyo, JAPAN) free throw put Pfeiffer up 20 with just over two minutes remaining.
After Hollinger started off the second half with another long range three, the Blue Knights comeback began with a basket by Rob Matthews (Delaware, OH) and three-straight threes by Anthony Gage (East Sparta, OH). Pfeiffer freshman Kyler Gregory (Gibsonville, NC) knocked down a three to put the hosts back up 14, but an Urbana 8-0 run, brought the visitors within six after a Marcus Pearl (Cleveland, OH) charity stripe basket with 14:03 to play.
After threes by Gregory and Hollinger, Urbanas Ramel Mitchell (Akron, OH) drained his own triple getting the Blue Knights again within a half dozen. Down by just two at the half way point, Gage would drain three free throws after a Pfeiffer foul to give the Blue Knights their first lead of the night with 9:13 remaining.
Both teams traded jumpers and three-balls not carrying a lead of more than four until Humphreys free throw at 4:52 made it a five point contest. With just over two minutes to play, Mitchell knocked down two more threes for Urbana while Sharif Muhammads (Brooklyn, NY) triple tied the contest for the final time with 64 seconds remaining. Pettiway would then start the clutch free-throw shooting for the Falcons to hold off the Blue Knights over the final minute of play.
Urbanas Robert Wilson (Streetsboro, OH) and Pfeiffers Woods each had identical double-doubles with 27 points and 11 boards. Each team had five players finish in double figures. Pfeiffer held the slight advantage of 12-11 in made triples and 39-37 on the glass.
Both teams are back in action on Saturday night as the Highway 52 Shootout moves to Catawbas Goodman Gym. Urbana will square off with the host Indians at 7:30 p.m. while the Falcons take on Livingstone 30 minutes after.

When I first heard of Corsica, it was from a friend who had just returned from a "work" trip, which was assisting a high-profile fashion photographer with a shoot on the island. Cliff-side towns overlooking gorgeous Mediterranean beaches, cuisine inspired by Italy, France, and the sea, local wine and cheese, models, swimming pools, sun and sand mixed with lush mountains; his trip sounded incredibly exotic.
Similar to WWOOF
The first program like this I heard about was a program called WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms), which evolved out of England in the 70s as a way to learn about farming just outside the cities. It has since become global, and while it maintains the farm aspect, it is now more defined as an exchange of work done by the guest for room and board from the host.
An Internet search led me to a similar program called HelpX or Help Exchange, which I decided was perfect for me.
When I contacted my host, I was well prepared with lots of questions after reading as much as I could about the program. Each situation is as different as it is based on individuals, not a company, so it is important to learn what is expected as a guest and what to expect in return. My host informed me that work was about 20 hours a week, but that "no one will be counting hours." I'm almost positive that I hit the jackpot of HelpX on my first try, as my host family provides me with all fresh, delicious food I can eat, a cabin of my own, and unbelievable warmth and hospitality.
Of course the work is hard, but it is enjoyable and rewarding, and getting in shape and a little tan are side effects no one would complain about. The farm is filled with characters I've quickly come to adore.
The host himself, Mark, with a subtle and incredibly witty sense of humor and his hyperactive dog named Benji, and Mark's sister and mother live just next door. There is another HelpXer, from England, living on a bus he drove from Spain, and a lively Corsican named Paul that has a garden on the land and who speaks French so fast my head spins.
Learning Corsican
After a few hours spent weeding, cutting salads, strawberries, and herbs for market, washing windows, or pruning tomatoes, the afternoons are mine to explore the area. I take a hike by the river, take the bike 10 km to the beach, or to the top of a mountain to watch the sunset over Ajaccio and the bay. At dinner, the neighbors often come over with their kids and we chat and sip rose until long after the sun goes down.
In the village of Ocana, further into the mountains, the family owns a restaurant that I've been to visit a few times. Everything down to the olive oil and the strawberry ice cream is grown and made by the owner specifically for the restaurant. I've been to tea with my host's mother and attended a family birthday party. A truly insider experience, when tour buses drive past the farm, I can't help but feel a little smug as I wonder, "How much are they really seeing of Corsica?"
Dangers for a Young Woman?
I had a grand misconception about the expense and difficulty of traveling, especially with something as exotic as a stay in the Mediterranean for three weeks. I thought it would be nearly impossible for me, a young, recent college grad with little money and no savings to visit a place like Corsica. I was also a little concerned that it would be dangerous to travel alone as a 28-year-old girl to a foreign country to stay with strangers.
Just this once, I'm proud to say, "I was wrong." I find myself amazed at the thought that I am eating fresher food than the richest hotel could offer, riding a bike to the beach for exercise and leisure, and at the same time learning practical skills. My experience shows that for the adventurous, it is the visitor who gains the most from the exchange.
Bring Your Appetite for New Experiences!
As the Internet continues to make global connections easier, more programs like the one I used are becoming available for the more money conscious and flexible traveler.
Bring an appetite for new experiences (and for lots of fresh food), and leave behind preconceived ideas and traditional tourism.

The 2011 Most Valuable Carwasher is...a detailer
In choosing the 2011 Most Valuable Carwasher (MVC), a few things stood out with the winner's nomination form, which was submitted by Kevin Gavigan, who works with him at Crystal Clean Automotive Detailing in Grand Rapids, MI. First off, he's willing to take on any task, whether or not it's part of his job description. Secondly, he works hard behind the scenes to make sure the business runs smoothly and does this because he genuinely wants the business to succeed as a whole. And, thirdly, he juggles a lot of responsibilities — often all at once — and yet, other employees feel that they can still go to him with questions or concerns. When one looks up the word "teammate" in the dictionary, next to it should be a picture of Chad Cornell.
According to Gavigan's nomination form, "Chad's commitment to Crystal Clean is evident as he begins his workday at 3 a.m., five days a week, to ensure that the workload gets moving in the proper direction every day. …The time and effort he puts into each and every workday is astounding as he even takes on tasks that are not under his realm of responsibility to ensure that everything is done properly, on time, and up to our quality standards."
How it all began
In 1996, Cornell got his first job in the industry at the Grand Rapids-based Cascade Car Wash. General Manager Roger Buys had been in the carwash industry for 20 years and showed him how to make a career out of cleaning cars. "And," he said, "I still apply that attention to detail, work ethic, and customer focus that I learned from Roger."
Cornell learned how to detail by working on cars in a tent that Buys put up behind the carwash. He would work on cars before and after his carwash shifts.
What it takes to be MVC
Cornell said to be successful it takes an extreme work ethic, and by extreme he means that if your competition opens for business at 7 a.m., you should open at 5 a.m.
"I also believe strongly that you lead from the front," Cornell said. "I am willing to work any position in the shop, I will clean the bathrooms if it needs to be done; I am the boss by title only, I never ask my guys to do anything I am not willing or able to do myself, and no one will work a longer shift than me. If I ask them to work an 11-hour day, I will work 12."
Cornell said he is also blessed to have an owner, Ross Timyan, supplying him with the best products, newest machines, and a 40,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility that sees an average of 50 full high-end details a day, which equals about 200 man hours of labor per day. They also pick up and deliver cars to over 30 dealerships in the middle of the night. All of those cars mean that Cornell sometimes works 20 hours a day. And, that also means his days can sometimes start at around 3 a.m. Yet, it doesn't bother him one bit.
"Maybe the main reason I work so much, is because after all these years, I still love to detail cars," he said. "I love transforming something from old to new everyday. It never gets old."
Getting the job done right
Upon hearing he was named MVC, Cornell said it was a huge honor, but then accepted the accolade with a lot of modesty.
"To be honest," he said, "sometimes I don't handle all of the responsibilities well every time. The people that work in this industry know that a lot of the time this business is organized chaos, with multiple deadlines, special requests, and let's not forget that we all work on an item that is different every time. And, sometimes I am just flying by the seat of my pants making quick decisions."
But, he once again credits his staff with helping him to get through it.
"It is a lot of teamwork, no one person alone could make this flow everyday, it is and always will be a team effort here," said Cornell. "Without each and every one of them I would not be in this position."

Players on Everett boys and girls basketball teams suspended
Approximately a dozen players from the two teams broke the school's code of conduct involving illegal substances
Due to student privacy the school did not name the players or number of players suspended.
According to Everett Public Schools spokesperson Mary Waggoner, after interviewing a number of parents and students the school determined that "approximately a dozen" players were present at the party, which broke the Everett Public School's Code of Conduct. The EPS Code of Conduct states that players not only cannot be under the influence of illegal substances but they "shall not be in the presence of, or remain in the vicitny of, others illegally using alcohol or illegal drugs."
According to the code of conduct, in compliance with the Washington Interscholastic Athletics Association, a first violation involving drugs results in immediate ineligibility for interscholastic competition in the current sports program for the remainder of the season. A first violation involving alcohol results in immediate suspension for 42 calendar days or the remainder of the season, whichever is longer.
A second violation for both offenses is removal from all athletic participation for a period of one calendar year and a third violation is permanent removal.
The Everett boys and girls teams play Shorewood Friday night.

Disappointing earnings news took a bite out of Apple's stock price Wednesday–shares of the world's biggest company fell 11% in late trading yesterday, and they're down again today.
Though sales rose 18% to $54.5 billion in the last quarter of 2012, Wall Street analysts seized on the company's weaker-than-expected growth in sales of iPhones, which totaled 47.8 million units, less than the high end expectation of about 50 million. But trouble may also be brewing for Apple's vaunted music service.
Quarterly revenues for iTunes, software and services totaled $3.7 billion, up from $3 billion a year ago. The gain was less than many analysts expected, including Walter Piecyk of BTIG, though the details of Apple's music sales may be partly obscured by reclassification of certain line items on its earnings report. Regardless, Apple is quietly starting to look a little less invincible on the iTunes front, just as it is with the iPhone.
"Five years ago, the iTunes store was perceived as something that would be a differentiator and something that would make an iPhone customer sticky," says Piecyk. "To me, that seems like saying, 'Well, you're going to keep your record player because you've got this huge collection of records. Or tapes.'"
There's no denying the trend towards streaming. Though it's difficult to quantify, some industry sources believe that services like Pandora, Spotify and Rdio already account for the majority of total music consumption. As that continues to become the norm for more and more music fans, the idea of having a collection may soon be as outdated as the cassette.
This poses problems for Apple, whose central strategy for music in the streaming world has involved the concept of having a collection. The company's iTunes match allows users to access their mp3 libraries from any device, played at a reasonably good sound quality, no matter where the songs were downloaded. A model that pre-supposes interest in owning music could be a dangerous one going forward.
"People have built up libraries," says Piecyk. "But the functionality of something like Spotify and the fact that it works across multiple devices reduces the interest in buying songs through iTunes and reduces that as a point of differentiation for Apple."
One potential solution: Apple's long-rumored "Pandora-killer" streaming radio service. Still, such a product would encounter plenty of competition in an already-crowded marketplace.
In the end, iTunes revenues make up only 9% of Apple's total sales, compared to 56% for the iPhone. But the company would be wise to continue watching both closely as the music industry it quickly conquered continues to evolve.

Upgrade guide
General upgrade process
- Before upgrading, please read the notes for each version below.
- Stop Sonar :
- Unzip the new version of Sonar in a fresh directory, let's say {$NEW_SONAR_HOME}
- Copy sonar.properties and wrapper.conf files from {$OLD_SONAR_HOME}/conf to {$NEW_SONAR_HOME}/conf or configure sonar.properties
- If you use rules extensions or your own jdbc drivers, copy the corresponding directories into /extensions from {$OLD_SONAR_HOME} to {$NEW_SONAR_HOME}
- If you are using Sonar plugins, you should copy them to the new instance. Check the compatibility between Sonar and the plugin before doing so.
- Backup your database
- If Sonar is deployed on a JEE application server, repackage the WAR file by executing the script /war/build-war
- Start the server (or restart the application server)
- Browse to http://localhost:9000/setup and follow setup instructions.
- Analyze your projects to get fresh measures
Release 2.3 Upgrade Notes
- Some findbugs violations have been missing in previous versions (see SONAR-1666). A consequence is that some rules can generate more violations on the same codebase.
- The profile "Sonar way with Findbugs" includes new rules (see SONAR-1534). Projects using this profile can have much more violations for the same codebase.
- The rule CloneMethodMustImplementCloneable was badly configured, so it has never been executed (see SONAR-1805). This rule is activated in the profile "Sonar way", so some projects can have some new violations with the same codebase.
Metric LCOM4
- Some member variables, for example loggers, are now excluded from LCOM4 (see SONAR-1641). This metric can vary on some classes compared to previous versions.
Not compatible plugins
Plugins Rules Meter and Web (version 0.1 only) are not compatible. They must be uninstalled before starting the SonarQube server. Delete the files from /extensions/plugins/.
Release 2.2 Upgrade Notes
Required plugin upgrades
The following plugins must be upgraded :
- Flex 0.2
- Motion Chart 1.1
- Cobol 1.2
- Visual Basic 1.0.1
Other plugins are compatible.
- SONAR-1398 : Upgrade Checkstyle from version 5.0 to 5.1. There aren't any new rules.
- SONAR-992 : Support several source directories.
- SONAR-1179 : Support Checkstyle custom checks with Maven 2.1+
- SONAR-1536 : The Checkstyle Maven plugin is not executed anymore, Checkstyle being directly executed by SonarQube. It decreases the coupling with Maven and helps to be more reactive with new Checkstyle versions. A consequence is that the existing Checkstyle configuration in pom is not inherited anymore.
- SONAR-1179 : Support PMD custom checks with Maven 2.1+
- SONAR-1537 : Upgrade PMD from 4.2.2 to 4.2.5
- SONAR-1542 : The PMD Maven plugin is not executed anymore, PMD being directly executed by SonarQube. It decreases the coupling with Maven and helps to be more reactive with new PMD versions. A consequence is that the existing PMD configuration in pom is not inherited anymore.
- New rules :
- Simplify Boolean Expressions
- Avoid Throwing New Instance of Same Exception
- Four new rules for Android
Duplicated code
When more than 2 files are involved in the same duplication, all duplicated blocks are reported while only 2 were reported before. It potentially increases the number of duplicated blocks, duplicated lines and density of duplicated lines.
When a line is involved in several different duplications, it is now counted only once as a duplicated line. It potentially decreases the number of duplicated lines and density of duplicated lines.
- SONAR-1277 : New property "max memory"
- SONAR-1421 : Upgrade to Cobertura 184.108.40.206 (performance improvements)
Clover 3 is now supported and Clover 1 has been removed. The default used version is upgraded to 2.6.3.
Deploy SonarQube WAR in JEE server
The WAR file is now linked to the Sonar directory (the directory where the distribution is unzipped). It implies :
- No need to rebuild the WAR when installing/uninstalling plugins or rule extensions
- The WAR file must be deployed on the host which contains the Sonar directory
- The WAR file must be rebuilt when the Sonar directory is moved
- The WAR file must be rebuilt when a configuration file is updated (directory conf/)
- The property sonar.rules.extensionsPath is not supported anymore
Release 2.1 Upgrade Notes
Findbugs plugin
Findbugs is executed in a forked process. The new property "sonar.findbugs.timeout" is the amount of time, in milliseconds, that Findbugs may run before it is assumed to be hung and terminated. The default value is 600 000 (ten minutes). This property can be set in the Settings page or in the Maven pom.
Duplications (CPD) plugin
Detection of duplicated code is memory hungry. It can be deactivated on big projects with the new property "sonar.cpd.skip", configurable in the Settings page or in the Maven pom.
New page System Info
The page "System info" in the configuration section displays detailed information about the system configuration : installed plugins, Java VM memory statistics, system info, database statistics, system properties.
New page Libraries
The page "Libraries", in the project section, displays all the libraries used by the project. It requires the project to be built with Maven, else the page is empty.
Release 2.0 Upgrade Notes
Database migration form has a new URL
See SONAR-1276 : The setup form is not available in the homepage anymore. Administrators must explicitly browse to http://<server>/setup.
Upgrade to Checkstyle 5.0
New rules (not activated in default Quality profiles) :
- AnnotationUseStyle
- MissingDeprecated
- MissingOverride
- PackageAnnotation
- SuppressWarnings
- EqualsAvoidNull
- NoClone
- NoFinalizer
- AvoidStaticImport
- JavadocPackage
- RegexpMultiline
- RegexpSingleline
- RegexpSinglelineJava
- OuterTypeNumber
- FileTabCharacter
- GenericWhitespace
- Header and RegexpHeader to check Java headers (see SONAR-1319)
If some of the following rules are activated in your quality profiles, then you have to manually deactivate them :
- GenericIllegalRegexpCheck - replaced with RegexpMultiline and RegexpSingleline and RegexpSinglelineJava.
- RequiredRegexpCheck - replaced with RegexpMultiline and RegexpSingleline and RegexpSinglelineJava.
- CrossLanguageRegexpHeaderCheck - replaced with RegexpHeader.
- TabCharacter - replaced with FileTabCharacter
- All the J2EE checks.
Upgrade to Findbugs 1.3.9
See SONAR-1343 : Findbugs has now its own parameter to define the max memory heap size. It is not executed in the Maven process anymore. The parameter is "sonar.findbugs.maxHeap", the default value is 512 (Mo) and it can be defined online in SonarQube settings.
Better Complexity/class
See SONAR-1327 : the complexity distribution by class was badly calculated. It now covers all classes, but not only public classes.
Overridable Cobertura version
The version of the Cobertura Maven plugin can be overridden. Default value is 2.3. The new version must be set in the definition of the cobertura plugin in pom.xml.
Log HTTP requests
See SONAR-1364 to log all HTTP requests to SonarQube server. This feature is deactivated by default and is ignored when SonarQube is deployed to a JEE server.
User management
- See SONAR-1334 : users can be automatically created on external authentication mode. This feature is deactivated by default. The parameter is "sonar.authenticator.createUsers" (true|false), to be set in the file conf/sonar.properties
- The default group affected to new users can be defined online, in SonarQubegeneral settings. The default value is "sonar-users".
Design analysis
The main functionality of version 2.0 is about byte code analysis to report on design and architecture. It is however possible to not activate this new feature by using the advanced parameter
or through the UI.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin-freshening technique that helps repair damaged facial skin. A dermatologic surgeon uses a device like a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin (epidermis). As with other rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to reduce or remove fine wrinkles, unwanted pigmentation and acne scarring.
Initial Visit
During a patient's first visit, a full medical history will be taken. Physical examination will focus on age, genetics, skin type and elasticity. It is important to discuss any pre-existing conditions, allergies, and past surgeries. The dermatologic surgeon will ask what you like and dislike about your skin.
Microdermabrasion treatments are only mildly uncomfortable and do not require anesthesia.
During the treatment, the physician will press a small device again your skin which causes a gentle abrasion through a fine crystal spray that breaks up dead skin and other imperfections. After the treatment, the physician vacuums the traces of the crystal powder. After the procedure, your face may be slightly red for about an hour.
Microdermabrasion treatments are recommended every two weeks in a series of 6, and then a long-term maintenance schedule may be recommended.
Pre-Operative Instructions
Prior to the procedure, the dermatologic surgeon may ask you to refrain from sun exposure and to discontinue the use of specific topical agents, such a Retin A.
Post-Operative Instructions
Apply sunscreen (with SPF 15 or more) and stay out of the sun. Certain skin creams may be recommended for maintenance.
Microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical procedure. Therefore, there are none of the risks associated with even minor surgery.
Microdermabrasion has become an increasingly popular method for facial rejuvenation. It is quick, requires almost no down time, and decreases the appearance of superficial hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles and shallow acne scars which helps to even out the texture. Last year, microdermabrasion was one of the top five non-surgical procedures for men and women.

On pp.88-9 of The End of Faith, Harris writes,
Among the many disasters that could befall a person over the course of a short and difficult life, medieval Christians seemed especially concerned that a neighbor might cast a spell and thereby undermine their health or good fortune. Only the advent of science could succesfully undercut such an idea, along with the fantastical displays of cruelty to which it gave rise. We must remember that it ws not until the mid-nineteenth century that the germ theory of disease emerged, laying to rest much superstition about the causes of illness.
Considering that the current political elite in the U.S. wants to turn the clock back to an earlier form of christian "spirituality," I'm wondering when we'll see Congressional hearings into the identity of the witches who caused the Tsunami and the resulting epidemics.
