HoopsHype Mitt Romney rumors
Axelrod stuffs his hands in the pockets of his blazer and walks the short block back to the Institute of Politics. Inside, the floors are covered in the salt stains of a hundred student boots. The institute, which hosts an impressive slate of speakers from both parties, including, in April, Mitt Romney, is something of an ad hoc museum, filled with Axelrod's collection of American political artifacts. In the front hall is a glass-encased ballot box from the Florida 2000 presidential election. There's also a napkin signed by JFK, a letter from the newly elected Abraham Lincoln to the Chicago mayor's son, and a signed poster of Michael Jordan. "When the president turned 50, I wanted to get him something special … so I sent it to Jordan to have him sign it for me." In black Sharpie, Jordan scrawled, "To Barrack: you still owe me dinner. Wishing you well, Michael Jordan." "I gave it to the president, and he said, 'I can't put this up, he misspelled my name!' So I said, 'Fine, I'll take it.' " His own office is a special exhibit dedicated to his time in politics — a program from a State of the Union speech, a ticket to the Nobel Prize ceremony, an invite to Obama's swearing-in as senator, with the words HERE BECAUSE OF YOU! written in the president's script. New York Magazine
When Pat Riley last visited the White House to mark the Miami Heat's 2006 championship, he told President and Republican George W. Bush he had voted for him. So what's the Miami Heat president going to tell President and Democrat Barack Obama on Monday when his team again visits the White House? "Here's how I am about that,'' said Riley, who Friday wouldn't reveal his vote in last November's election although it has been reported he donated $7,500 to Mitt Romney's campaign. "Regardless of what I am, he's the leader and that's it. He's the boss and I'm right behind him. And it doesn't make any difference. And that's how I feel about it. And so I'll shake his hand with as much enthusiasm and hope for the best. That's the way it is in this country. That's how I feel about it.'' FOXSports Florida
Dwight Howard, Ryan Lochte and Gregg Williams were among the 25 men and women named to GQ's list of the least influential people of 2012. Mitt Romney, Amanda Bynes and Madonna headlined the group that featured other sports figures like New York Knicks owner James Dolan, former Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine and disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. Howard was cited for the lengthy trade discussions that made "every American [hate his guts]," though that probably overstates how many people cared about Howard's trade status. Williams made it because he's "the rare person stupid enough to deserve being scapegoated." Dolan: "Does he have some kind of "stubborn [expletive]" gene that the rest of us lack? USA Today
Former Temple star and current Sixers big man Lavoy Allen was upset last night when word came down that his choice for president, Mitt Romney, had been defeated by Barack Obama. Looking for someone to commiserate with, Allen took to Twitter and hit up fellow Romney supporter, actress Stacey Dash, best known for her role in Clueless. I'm not sure if the two know each other, or if Allen was trying out the Twitter version of a cold-call, but here is what he said: LaVoy Allen: @REALStaceyDash don't worry we will get through this together, if you need a shoulder to cry on I'm only a phone call away.

At first, Pistons coach Lawrence Frank dodged questions about Election Day, preferring to keep the talk about basketball. But when prodded, he let everyone know where his hopes rested. "If you want to have a political conversation, let's sit over there and I'll tell you why I think President Obama is the right man," Frank told a Denver reporter. When the laughter subsided, he joked to her: "See, I took the bait and I ran with it." Detroit Free Press
Nuggets coach George Karl didn't reveal his choice, but offered some criticism of the lengthy election season and the negative tone. "It lasted too long this year," Karl said. "The election, the whatever you want to call it, the trash. I just want to turn off the TV and commercials now. "They're really testing, but I guess that's what wins elections." Detroit Free Press
The Miami Heat star makes many millions off his endorsement deals, including one with Nike. But there's one other particular endorsement he isn't shy about making news with, regardless of its negative impact on those deals — he's once again voting for Barack Obama for President. "I've been second guessed," James said after scoring 23 points in Monday's 124-99 home win over Phoenix on election eve. "They're saying it's bad for the brand. If I feel like I want to support someone, then go for it." FOXSports Florida
James said he carefully researched Obama before he voted for the Democrat in 2008. He's done that again this time. "No," James said about not being afraid as an athlete to take a stand. "I just think it's about knowledge if you know what's going on. I've always said I feel like it's important for me to do it because that's just who I am. I got out there and I learned a lot about it in '08 and I learned a lot about it now." FOXSports Florida

Seven years removed from the major leagues, his once-golden arm ravaged by injuries, Mark Prior still can't quite call it quits
Not so cool, in the thermal sense, were the August daytime doubleheaders on the back fields at the Yuma Sports Complex. Although Prior's agent, John Boggs, recalls a conversation in which his client got on the phone in Yuma and sounded "like the happiest kid on Earth to just be playing again."
Before the end of that summer, Prior had thrown one inning for the Texas Rangers' top affiliate in Oklahoma City, striking out two and allowing two hits.
A strong spring by Prior forced the New York Yankees to consider putting him on their Opening Day roster of 2011, but they kept him in Florida to protect him from the April cold up north. In fact, he sustained the first groin injury of his life after just one game pitched for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Last year, the Red Sox offered Prior nothing more than a tryout, which he turned into a spot in the Pawtucket relief corps. In 19 appearances for the PawSox, Prior earned his International League championship ring by striking out 38 batters in 25 innings.
In the process, Prior learned what he'd really been missing about baseball.
"The fun of playing," he said. "I haven't been making comeback after comeback. I've been playing, competing. I was telling one of the Reds' trainers (that) the last two years have been as much fun as I've had playing baseball.
"Yes, it was Triple-A, and my top priority is to get back to the big leagues. But you're pitching in places like Buffalo, Rochester, places with great fan bases and 6,000-7,000 (spectators) a night. I'm over the traveling, but you do it because when you get to the ballpark, it's a lot of fun."
Imagine, too, the disbelief of the unknowing fan at a minor-league park when the bullpen door opens to the 6-foot-5, 230-pounder with the impossibly thick legs and All-Star history, the former Cy Young candidate who led the Cubs within five outs and a fan-interference play of their long-denied World Series.
Aside from the veterans who pop in and out on rehab assignments, Triple-A ball is full of 30-somethings not ready to give up the game or The Dream, but few of them had Prior's résumé or came as close as he did (third) to a Cy Young Award.
Prior said the best part about pitching for Pawtucket last year — he'd been signed by the Red Sox based on a simple tryout — was having his family there to share in what's generally considered one of baseball's greatest minor-league atmospheres. They also got to explore a different part of the country. Hence, the day trips to Cape Cod and the blueberry-picking excursions in Rhode Island.
"I wish I'd appreciated it more when I was younger," Prior said. "You go to all these cities (as a major-leaguer) and you get so narrow-minded. Check in to the hotel, sleep, wake up, walk within a one-block radius of the hotel, and go to the ballpark. And that's in places like D.C., Philly, Manhattan.

Kathy Jacobson, owner of Bloom 'N' Crafts, and Debbie White, owner of Dakota Rose Floral, both of Valley City, started working in the floral industry together in the 1970s for Carol Jacobson at CJ Floral. Since that time, both women have independently run successful floral businesses, and now, they meet again, only, this time, White is buying Jacobson's business.
White has bought all of Jacobson's inventory, including her crafts, and will operate the business at the Dakota Rose location starting Oct. 1.
"It's like we kind of came full circle," Jacobson said.
Jacobson's last day of business will be Friday, when she'll serve coffee and cookies all day for her customers.
Jacobson's two employees will transfer to Dakota Rose Floral where they'll work.
"I'll carry on the same quality and customer service as Kathy has," White said.
Due to the increase in inventory, White is looking at relocating her business in the future.
Jacobson started working at CJ Floral in 1974, and White started in 1976. They worked there together for a couple years before Jacobson moved to Jamestown for a while.
"(Kathy) taught me in the beginning," White said.
Bloom 'N' Crafts opened as a craft store in September 1981. Gloria Glandt and Joanne Bear had operated the business, and Bear sold her part of the business to Jacobson and her mother Mary Gulmon, where the two of them and Glandt operated the business together.
That's when they started the floral services.
"The flower shop end grew so fast that we couldn't keep up so the craft part faded out," Jacobson said.
Recently, though, the staff at Bloom 'N' Crafts had gotten back to the crafty side of things, where they've been selling finished products.
Eventually, Glandt and Bear retired and Jacobson has been operating the business herself with her employees.
White continued to work for CJ Floral until she bought the business in 1989 and changed it to Dakota Rose Floral.
More than 30 years after the doors opened at Bloom 'N' Crafts, Jacobson has decided to retire.
She plans to spend some time with her grandchildren now that she'll have more time off.

August 8, 2006
BEIJING (Reuters) – A Chinese man stabbed to death 10
people, including six children, in an attack on his wife's
family before killing himself by drinking pesticide, state

last Tuesday while they slept in a remote village in the poor
southwestern province of Yunnan, Xinhua news agency said in a
report late on Tuesday.
State media said earlier that the victims included his
wife's sister, brother and six of his nephews and nieces.
His wife, a migrant worker, escaped with two children,
while her mother was seriously wounded, Xinhua said.

LAS VEGAS – The NFL draft isn't until next weekend and the regular season is nearly five months away. Meanwhile, the baseball season is in full swing, the NHL playoffs are under way, and the NBA playoffs start this upcoming weekend. So why am I even mentioning pro football?
Well, the Las Vegas Hilton posted point spreads for Week 1 of the NFL season at 2 p.m. last Sunday, plus it's never too early to talk about pro football in the sports books here as it is the No. 1 betting sport in this country.
The season opens Thursday, Sept. 7, with the defending champion Colts hosting the Saints in prime time. The Hilton made the Colts a 6-point favorite. There are 13 games on the opening Sunday, Sept. 9, and then a doubleheader Monday night.
Ed Salmons, sports book manager at the Hilton, said it was a team of five oddsmakers, including Jeff Sherman, Matt Metcalfe, Chris Bennett and Austin Bhushan, that collaborated on the opening numbers.
"After the league released the schedule last Thursday, we all came up with our own numbers independently and then discussed all the games over Saturday and Sunday," Salmons said. "We weighted it and adjusted until we came up with what we thought were the right numbers for each game."
Salmons said they were all pretty close on most games, but there were some with wide ranges of disagreement. He said opinions on the Chiefs-Texans game ranged from Chiefs –3 to Texans –2, but they settled on Chiefs –1.
"We felt at this point that the bettors who are looking at these would take the Texans +3 right away, so we made the Chiefs a smaller favorite," he said.
The Panthers-Rams game also had oddsmakers making each team a favorite, so they decided to put that game out at pick-em and let the public decide. The Falcons-Vikings game also was released at pick-em.
In addition to the Chiefs over the Titans, four other road teams were tabbed as favorites, with the Patriots –5 at the Jets, Eagles –3 1/2 at the Packers, Steelers –4 at the Browns, and the Broncos –3 1/2 at the Bills.
You'll note that the lines all seem pretty competitive. In fact, no team is favored by as many as 7 points. The highest line is the Seahawks –6 1/2 against the Buccaneers.
Salmons said there was no hesitation to put up the lines before the draft.
"We usually go ahead with the Week 1 numbers as soon as they release the schedule," he said. "It's not like basketball where one player can make that big of a difference. Quarterback is the most important position, but even they don't always play right away. We'll adjust after the draft if we need to or if there's a big trade."
Salmons said the popular over/under NFL season win totals will be up by 3 p.m. Sunday with the Hilton's "Games of the Years" – which include all Sunday and Monday night games as well as other marquee matchups each week – probably toward the end of May.

Former Celtic defender Danny McGrain has rated Kenny Dalglish as the best player he played alongside.
In an interview on Celtic's official website, former star full-back McGrain highlighted the ex-Liverpool ace as the most competent and clever footballer to grace the Celtic Park turf during his time with the Glasgow giants.
"Of my era, Kenny Dalglish was the best to play with for his attributes of passing, creating goals and scoring goals himself – he would be up there," said McGrain.
"Kenny's greatest asset was his brain and his use of physicality. He very rarely got injured. When he played up here he was just fantastic, and while we as players never took him for granted, the Scottish football media did.
"When he did go there was a big gap in our football up here. He replaced Kevin Keegan, who people thought was irreplaceable, and he actually overtook Kevin Keegan in the minds of Liverpool supporters. He blossomed playing with better players in a better league, and grew into a giant of football."

Two nurses were involved in an accident on Tuesday morning, when one of them—who works the night shift and was just getting off work—fell asleep at the wheel and crossed the center line on Hwy 52.
Eric Carver, 38-year-old Lafayette resident and nurse, was traveling east on Hwy 52 at about 8 a.m. on Tuesday when the accident occurred. Trooper Ed Crouch said that Carver fell asleep and his black 4-door Jeep traveled into the opposite lane of travel. Teresa Deering, also a nurse, was headed west on the highway.
"She got over as far as she could in the emergency lane," said Crouch. "If she hadn't been paying attention—whoo boy."
Carver's vehicle struck her GMC Envoy in a driver-to-driver impact, and she finally came to a rest against the guard rail further down the highway. His vehicle continued through a ditch and into the Frito Lay parking lot, leaving one wheel behind.
Both drivers sustained minor injuries. Deering was treated at the scene and Carver was taken by private vehicle to get checked out.

Nebraska's Osborne: Big Ten move trumps tradition
LINCOLN, Neb. When Nebraska beat Oklahoma in the 1971 Game of the Century, when Johnny Rodgers took that punt return the distance, Tom Osborne was there.
He made the call when the Cornhuskers fell short on the 2-point conversion try for the win against Miami in the 1984 Orange Bowl.
He won three national championships and went 60-3 in his last five seasons, the final two coming in the Big 12. As much as anyone, Osborne epitomized the Big Eight and had a hand in building the Big 12 into a BCS power.
"He made the Big Eight what it was," said Barry Switzer, Osborne's friend and coaching counterpart at Oklahoma in the 1970s and '80s.
Now, with Nebraska's move to the Big Ten, Osborne is one of the key architects in putting the Big 12 on the brink of irrelevancy, if not destruction.
Osborne said the nostalgia he felt for the days Nebraska played Oklahoma for league titles waned years ago, and he leaves longtime opponents Kansas, Missouri and others behind with a touch of sadness - but no regrets.
"We're going to miss them, and we feel bad about that, but we're looking forward to some other competition. Life goes on," said Osborne, Nebraska's 73-year-old athletic director.
Switzer said he knows Osborne based his decision on what was best for Nebraska, just as Arkansas' Frank Broyles, long a fixture in the old Southwest Conference, did when the Razorbacks jumped to the Southeastern Conference in 1990.
"Frank made Arkansas healthier," Switzer said. "Tom is making Nebraska healthier."
Osborne and Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman said they could see the Big 12 begin to splinter months ago and that no one was willing to commit to stay put as football-driven expansion talk started heating up in other leagues.
The Big Ten offers a safe haven - prestige, a history of stability and the opportunity to make significantly more money.
Yet the foundation for Nebraska's football success was built on associations the Huskers have had as far back as the 1890s. Kansas, which is now sitting on the outside looking in as expansion unfolds, has played Nebraska every year since 1907 - the longest-running series in college football. That will end when the Huskers start playing in the Big Ten in 2011.
Osborne was head coach for 25 years, the longest tenure in program history, and went 255-49-3 from 1973-97. Of those 255 wins, 152 came against the old Big Eight. He never lost to Kansas, Kansas State or Oklahoma State.
The only team that gave him fits was Oklahoma. He went 13-13 against the Sooners in a series that once was among the fiercest in the nation.
When Big 12 scheduling started in 1996, Nebraska played Oklahoma only two out of every four years.
"There's no question that was our rival," Osborne said. "But to be a true rival, you have to play every year. Things began to change at that point."
Osborne said he hopes Nebraska can make room on its future non-conference schedules for games against the old Big Eight opponents.

Applications for Your Enterprise
I'm continually surprised at the folks who (with an air of authority) declare Linux is not ready for the enterprise. These are people who should know better. I told you several months ago that Linux was, in fact, ready for the desktop. True, there are some areas where Linux is still weak. But I think some folks are judging Linux from a whole different set of standards than they use for other operating systems. I submit that the Burlington Coat Factory, McDonald's and Largo City success stories prove that Linux is ready. And with over 400 Largo City desktops running Linux, with a savings of over $3,000,000 US, and the secretaries loving it, folks need to start examining why they're fighting it so fiercely. Linux in the enterprise is alive and well and growing, with many happy users. The absurd claim that when those who put it together are gone no one will understand, it is wishful thinking. I will bet most anyone reading this, given one or two hours (or less) going over the configuration files in /etc, would understand everything going on. So don't ask why, ask why not.
MySQL Navigator sql.kldp.org/mysql
If you find you need a powerful graphical tool to do serious MySQL work, then MySQL Navigator may be just what you need. This application rivals, and maybe even betters, PHPMySQL. And if you don't have access to Apache with PHP and MySQL support, then this is definitely what you need. Requires: libmysqlui (included), libqt2, libXext, libX11, libstdc++, libm, glibc, libmysqlclient, libSM, libICE, libpng, libz, libjpeg, libmng, licvrypt, libnsl.
Mindi www.microwerks.net/~hugo/mindi/index.html
A number of recovery CDs have been appearing, but this one is created from your running system. While Mindi is comparable to several other offerings, it is quick, easy to use and worth a look. Its minimal requirements make it perfect for almost any system, including one that doesn't have its own CD burner—just transfer the ISO image to a system that does. Requires: sh.
Mondo www.microwerks.net/~hugo
If you need more than just a boot CD-ROM, Mondo extends Mindi and creates a backup of your entire system. It first creates a Mindi ISO, then calculates and creates a backup of your entire system that is easy to restore. Those of you comfortable with afio will probably like this backup system, which is another good tool to consider for your backups if you use a CD burner rather than tapes. Requires: Mindi, afio.
tcptraceroute michael.toren.net/code/tcptraceroute
Ever had a problem where you needed to trace all the way to a server but that server was behind a firewall that dropped standard traceroute packets? Well, if that server is running services accessible from the Internet, you can use tcptraceroute to go right through the firewall to the server. Just specify the port (by default, tcptraceroute uses port 80), and the firewall won't know the difference. Requires: libpcap, libnet, glibc.
iCE Breakers Log Monitor sourceforge.net/projects/iblm
I've tried a number of different tools to keep an eye on certain logs as events happen, but this one is by far the best one I've seen. Just tell the dotrc file which logs to watch for you (you'll obviously need permissions to read these files), and you can watch any one by selecting its tab. As messages come in, if they don't come in to the tabbed box on top, the lettering on the tab changes to bold to alert you of a new message. A great tool for troubleshooting. Requires: libgtk, libgdk, libgmodule, libglib, libdl, libXext, libX11, libm, glibc.
WebHost Billing System www.tolchz.net
Granted, not many will have a need for this, but if you bill a lot of customers monthly, you might want to give this a try. It's particularly good if billings go out on a daily basis.

FAQ-O-Matic faqomatic.sourceforge.net
I don't know if you've ever tried to manage a FAQ, but it can be a challenge. Well, the FAQ-O-Matic won't do it for you, but it does make it easier to maintain. It's all done from a web interface, so it's relatively painless and easy. Installation is a breeze. In true Perl fashion, this little utility runs you through the entire process, checking off boxes for you as you go. Requires: Perl.
toolbox movingparts.windsofstorm.net/code.shtml#toolbox
I realize that only a very few of you out there run the Blackbox window manager. But for those of you that do, toolbox can help you customize your Blackbox setup easily. While I'm sure Blackbox users are more comfortable with ASCII configuration files than the average KDE user, the styles are more easily modified via a graphical interface. At least, that's how I see it. Requires: libqt (v2), libXext, libX11, libstdc++, libm, libSM, libICE, libpng, libz, libjpeg, libmng, glibc.
Until next month.

National Health Interview Survey, 1993: Immunization Supplement (ICPSR 6530)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Health and Human Services. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National Center for Health Statistics
The purpose of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is to obtain information about the amount and distribution of illness, its effects in terms of disability and chronic impairments, and the kinds of health services people receive. This supplement includes variables from the NHIS core Person File (see NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1993 [ICPSR 6534]), including sex, age, race, education, family income, limitation of school activities, family relationship, and relationship to reference person. For this supplement, information was collected on vaccines received by children under 6 years old for diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis (DPT), polio, measles or MMR, hemophilus type B or HIB, and hepatitis B, the number of shots the child received for each type of vaccine, and other types of shots received. Interviews were conducted with adult respondents, and vaccine information was gathered, when possible, from records maintained by the family.

CALDWELL -- Firefighters responded to a house fire in Caldwell Thursday night.
Firefighters say the home on the corner Pride Lane and Karcher Road is severely damaged after a fire broke out in the living room-kitchen area.
Due to its remote location and no access to fire hydrants, the Caldwell Fire Department called on four neighboring departments to assist on the fire, which took about 30 minutes to put out.
Crews from Nampa, Middleton, Marsing, and Wilder all responded.
Officials say no one was injured, but the family was displaced.

Rose and the Thorns to Perform Do Something Awards Kickoff Celebration on May 23 at BB Kings NYC, NY
NEW YORK, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Rose & the Thorns are truly keeping it real. Hailing from New York City with the spirit of the 60s/70s, their honest and soulful rock music is extraordinarily refreshing and raw. Rose and the Thorns reveal their deepest desires and emotions with an intensity that continues to connect with their audience.
Sponsored by Gibson USA, they have just released a long awaited 3 song EP that is already making a huge impact. They are produced by Michael Mangini, two time Grammy award winning producer. The band members are Raechel(Rose) Rosen, Sampson Hellerman, Josh Schackett, Tory Geismar and Derek Orshan. They were previously solely focused on their enormously successful charity rock band, Creation Band, whose first album included a special appearance by legendary saxophonist Clarence Clemons, with a fan base including songwriter/producer Nile Rodgers, Steven Van Zandt and thousands more.
The band is influenced and inspired by the music of artists such as Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Amy Winehouse, The Black Crowes, and The Black Keys. Rose and the Thorns is no stranger to the local club scene in NYC. BB Kings, Music Hall of Williamsburg, The Bitter End, Knitting Factory, Hard Rock NYC, Sullivan Hall, and even Carnegie Hall are just a few of the legendary venues where the band members have taken stage.
Rose & the Thorns will be performing throughout NYC and other Northeast dates starting this week. This Thursday, May 19 they open at Rebel Club for the Click Five, followed on May 20 in Boston at Club 939, opening for the Ian Axel. These dates lead to the exciting special performance at the Kickoff for the Do Something Awards at BB Kings, where they open for the Plain White Tee's.

This is probably not going to happen in Linux without mount options, it has not happened in the past. Effectively, these requirements are not met by *BSD's FFS with softupdates either (rename() and link() are not synchronous there either). Andrew, *BSD has - I'm not telling news here - three mount modes, "async", "noasync" and "sync". noasync is the default, it implies synchronous meta and directory updates. async is like Linux' async: guarantee nothing, I'm not sure about sync, I'd need to look into my man page. FFS softupdates are an addition to guarantee consistent file system state even with "async" -- and all these bets are off when the disk drive acknowledges a "write" before the data is on disk (i. e. write cache enabled voids all these guarantees). However, Postfix' queue seems to be safe with softupdates, but not Postfix' maildir delivery, which I find very unfortunate. Postfix should not put itself under the same artificial restriction that the unmaintained qmail-1.03 suffers from. -- Matthias Andree "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Home away
Outstanding vacation home for the family
The kitchen is new with very nice appliances, and there are several nice outdoor areas to eat at. The bedrooms and bathrooms are also nice, with great closets.
Outdoors, the pool, hot tub and docks are just as pictured, with plenty of fish to catch right there!The owner has left fishing rods and kayaks, so you can get right to it.
Location is excellent. An easy 1/2 mile to the beach, on a quiet cul-de-sac. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, and a quick 10 minute drive out to I-275 that gets you to St. Pete, Tampa and points south.
Highly recommended.
Thank you for choosing our home as your winter getaway. You left the property spotless, we really appreciate guest that treat our home with respect, as if it is their own. You are welcome back anytime.
Thanks again,
Perfect Spot in St. Pete.
We Would Stay Here Again
Rustic enjoyable vacation
Listing is correct, clean and maintained.
Nice home but a few issues
The kitchen has great appliances, but the accessories (knives, pots and pans) are heavily worn. There really is very little beach gear, we left a beach umbrella for others to use, but otherwise it's 2 beat up beach chairs and a couple toys. There are a couple very light weight fishing poles, so bring your own tackle and pole if you really want to fish.
Overall though, it's a solid home to rent for a week. Would recommend having a car, though you can walk to the beach (prob 15min walk)
Activity and Interests
St. Pete Beach named #1 beach destination in 2012 in the U.S. and #5 in the world! And it is only a 7-minute walk to our neighborhood BEACH access from our home. Plenty of parking at public beach if you prefer to drive. Beach, boating, fishing, museums, parasailing all in the neighborhood

Hi Cliff
Are you using the latest update of salesbar? I've just downloaded to test and it's showing ok - http://screencast.com/t/7sK9uFg5CN
Or do you have any css which might move the padding/margins up on the top of the page?
Posted 05 April 2013 - 12:26 AM
Turns out it looks fine on regular pages and gets hidden when on a BuddyPress-specific page. Can you reproduce that?
Posted 05 April 2013 - 01:15 AM
Hi Cliff, just tested, yes I can replicate that on Buddypress pages. Will add to the bug report.

I have used this pack in all situations: the days when I had class and my pack had to share space between books and climbing gear; climbing Mt. Stuart's North Ridge; alpine in the High Sierra; Ice cragging in NH's White Mountains. If you can get creative with your packing and all the external straps on this pack, you can climb most overnight alpine objectives.Thoughts: Durability: 10 - I have abused the crap out of this bag and it still looks good.Craftsmanship: 9.5 - Good attention paid to construction materials. Places where the pointy objects are stored (i.e. crampons and ice tools) are made from sizable panels of abrasion-resistant fabric; some of the pull tabs on the zippers are finicky to handle in colder weather.Usability: 9 - This pack layout is great, and geared to those who don't mind giving up some pack features for the alpine: there are no places outside the pack to store a water bottle; the brain is fairly small and will not hold a lot of haphazardly packed gear.
Love this pack! I have used it extensively for the past year for trad and ice climbing. Very comfortable to approach and climb in. The swing belt system takes a while to get used to but is really comfortable. Pack loads nicely and is very durable. I can get a full rack (trad or ice) plus a day or food and bottles as well as a belay jacket and shell inside. Rope and helmet strap on nicely. Love the no lid feature! If you want a pack to climb in this is a great choice.
My son introduced me to Moosejaw and I love shopping here! I ordered this pack for my 21 year old son as a gift. He loved the pack, but unfortunately it was too close in size to a pack that he already had. I called my "buddies" at Moosejaw and they directed me to a larger pack. Moosejaw made my holidays this year. It had been a very tough year, but the whimsical nature and terrific customer service at Moosejaw, made my holidays so much brighter. I wish that I could give you more insight on the pack, but I can only say that if you don't like it, I'm sure the great folks at Moosejaw will help you out. Thank you guys for making my holiday season just a little brighter!
i use this pack for hauling my climbing equipment. its a simple pack, however has just enough features to make everything work perfectly. the crampon pocket is awesome, and the small space on top of the lid is perfect for things like keys or snacks.

In this hands-on course, James Williamson demonstrates the concepts that form the foundation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), including styling text, adding margins and padding, and controlling how images display. The course also explores the tools needed to work with CSS, the differences between embedded and external styles, how to use selectors to target elements, and what to do when styles conflict.
Welcome back! I hope you had fun working on our Color Lab. Let's compare your solutions to mine and discuss the thought processes behind the syntax that I used. So I have the main.css here open from the 06_09 finished_files>_css directory, I know that seems complicated, but it's really not. I am sure you will find it with little to no problem at all. Okay, the first thing I want to focus on is the color palette here. If I scroll down, I can see that I have got the three hexadecimal values that correspond to the rgb values.
So check your values and make sure yours match mine. You are also going to notice that we were unable to take advantage of the hexadecimal shorthand notation, because we don't have matching pairs all the way through. Now if I scroll down for the second objective we were first to define a default color for the html tag, and if I scroll down to around line 116 or so, in my global styles, I can find here is my html selector, and we went ahead and just did a regular background rgb definition. Now I used RGB throughout most of the site.
Now I do throw in occasionally a hexadecimal notational value, and I don't think I used any hsl. There's nothing wrong with mixing color value notations. The browser really doesn't care. The only thing is that you might want to develop a strategy for yourself about which color value notation you are going to use and you might want to stick with that. I recommend using the one that's easiest for you. Hexadecimal has been supported forever in a day, so you can use it without fear of a browser, maybe not, rendering that properly. RGB and HSL are little bit more recent, but they are enjoying fairly widespread support.
RGB maybe a little bit more than HSL. So decide which one you are comfortable with, test it thoroughly and then just stick with it. Now if I go down to our third challenge, which was the banner paragraph. I am going to scroll down a line around 288, that's where this is found. All right, so here is our (.banner p {), and for the background, notice I wanted it to be semi-transparent, so I used the rgba property. I passed in the values for that Pewter Blue color from the color palette up top, and then I passed in that 80% Opacity using the .8 notation, and notice that here I use the rgba notation for the background rather than Opacity and I did that because we only wanted the background to be transparent, we did not want the content to be transparent.
Now I used a similar solution for the gallery h1 rules. So I am going to scroll down to around 419 and there I can find that gallery h1 rule, and you can see a couple of things that I added to it here. I just did a normal rgba declaration this time of the color property and not the background, again, because it's the actual text itself that I wanted to be semi-transparent. So I passed in a 60% transparency here, and then here is my text-shadow. Notice that I only wanted to offset it by two pixels. I didn't want any blur at all, so I used 0, and then I passed in the rgba notation of that Pewter Blue color again with a 60% transparency, so that the color and the text-shadow could sort of mix together and form that sort of embossed look that we were going for there.
Now again pay attention to the syntax here, how we use white space and not commas to separate those values, and that's all of the objectives that we have for you within this those color lab. Now to me it's one the most expressive design decisions that you'll make in the entire process of designing your site. It's one of the tasks in CSS that you need to actually have a real strategy for. So be sure to put in some time during the planning stages of your site, think about the colors that you are going to use, what they're going to communicate to your viewers and how that color is going to be used all the way throughout your site.
You are going to want to be consistent when you are using color, so developing some policies about your colors use within your site is a very important part of that design process. So one of the things I would recommend you to do with this lab, you can take it a little bit further, continue to play around the files in this lab, try out some of the gradients that we were working with earlier, introduce a brand-new color palette, go out to the site like Kuler or mix your own color palette together, swap out the colors within this particular site, and see how it affects the feel and the design of the site. Try out all the different colors syntaxes and see which one you prefer.
Color is just like any other aspect of your design. It's something you are going to want to experiment with, play around with and apply a great deal of thought before you go in and implement it within your site.

Mack Reiter previews Big Ten Tournament
Video is by Chad Erikson, Chad has done a great job this year of interviewing MN coaches and wrestlers to give us gopher fans some much needed info from the very tight lipped room. Chad even got Brandon Eggum to state that Deitchler was told by doctors that he is just not quite ready to come back for the big tens and they are very hopeful he will be wrestling next year...we can finally put that to bed.
Thanks Chad!
That's too bad about Jake. It's probably still too early to say he'll never see the mat for the gophers. And it will be too bad if he doesnt. The silver lining in all of it would be that he reached a level that very few wrestlers ever do in their lifetime.
Here's to Jake getting healthy and getting back on the mat.
I am assuming that this will be broadcast on the BTN, anyone know which rounds or when they'll be broadcast?
Pretty sure only showing the finals Sunday, I think it starts at 3pm central on BTN.

" Brand: Avon / Leave-in conditioner / 125mL. / Type: Conditioner / Subcategory: Spray "
I had been looking for a nice leave in conditioner for a while. I dont know if its just me but I was finding it increasingly difficult to find.
Sometimes I dont have time to stay in the shower for an extra five minutes to put regular conditioner on, wait a few minutes then wash it out. Hence I wanted a quick spritz and away I go!
My friend has recently become an Avon representative and it has given me a good chance to try some products.
The one I tried was the Almond Oil and Avacado variety.
It normally costs £2.00 for 125ml but it was on special offer at just 99p (so I ordered 3).
This product comes in a nice sleek slim plastic bottle with spray function and lid. It has user instructions on in English and a variety of other languages.
On first trying this I immediately noticed the lovely fresh smell of almond and avacado, not too strong but a clear pleasant smell. The spray enables you to aim the conditioner pretty accurately at your hair and a fine mist is dispensed.
I applied to damp hair and once my hair had dried I noticed that the pleasant smell remained and so did well conditioned hair which was soft and tangle free.
I now use this product on my three children who also like the smell and it leaves their hair lovely and soft.
The only downside to this product is that I seem to get through a bottle every couple of weeks. So maybe they should make it in a bigger size.
This product is available from an Avon representative or online at avonshop.co.uk
Overall, I found this an inexpensive quick and easy way to condition your hair. Ideal for those, who like me, havent got time to use regular conditioner!
Having dyed hair I find blow drying it makes my hair very brittle and frizzy, well a scarecrow comes in mind. I have tried loads of products to combat my hairs frizziness and this is my experience with the Avon leave-in conditioning spray.
The Pomegranate and Jojoba leave in conditioner smells lovely and fresh. At £2.00 per bottle and at the moment buy one get one free on the Avon website is a very good bargain. I always use Avonshop.com and found the site easy to use to find the products you want.
The 125 ml bottle contains clear conditioner and the fine spray covers your hair from root to tip. To use just spray evenly over wet or dry hair. Combing it through is very easy and leaves your hair tangle free.
After washing my hair and conditioning it I then spray on the leave in conditioner and blow dry as normal. I found after a few times off use my hair is less frizzy and more manageable and smells nice. I also have used it on dry hair on the tips of my hair to help with dry ends and has helped to calm my frizzy ends. I like the idea that you dont have to wash out.
The ingredients in the conditioner are aqua, butylene glycol, phosphoric acid, linalol, glycerin, jojoba seed extract, helianthus annus seed extract and bioseed complex.
Would I recommend this product yes as it is not expensive you are not losing out. Has it heped my hair to de-tangle easy and combatted my dry hair, yes it has. Does my hair smell nice yes.
A great in-expensive product that works.
Along came my poor Avon lady Representative on a freezing, cold soggy night in late December. I'd been rehearsing 'look Anita this just isn't working out.... I can do better than Avon on the high street.... I think it's best we stop seeing eachother...' but I just couldn't end our relationship. She looked so hopeful as she thrust the little catalogue into my hand and scarpered back home to try and scrape the ice off her feet. Damn I thought this means once again I have to order something yet again!
As I've explained before I once had nothing but all I stood up in after leaving an ex partner. I got everything back in the end (and more lol) but I had been living with him and I came back home to live with my parents in my empty childhood bedroom with not even a can of deodorant or a hairbrush to my name and all I could say to the policeman trying to help me was 'I want my perfumes back... now!' As I said I got every single thing of mine back in the end but it didn't look hopeful for a while but through my dedication and love of my cosmetics and toiletries (never mind my clothes, jewellery and photographs etc) I hired a van and me and my folks did a heist lol
Anyhow point is with the help of Anita (my Avon Rep) I managed to get a lot of products in a short space of time, choosing a lot of buy one get frees, and deals and stuff on special offer or with free gifts etc so I'm greateful for that little catalogue cos it's not nice to have it all and end up with nothing and that period of my life taught me a lot!
Well I used it after washing and conditioning my hair in the usual way. Application is/was easy. Sprays on as a fine mist and gives even coverage. It does spray out a bit foamy if you keep pumping away so just a spray and give it a second then spray again don't do it continuous. However the bubbles do comb through easily and it doesn't make hair feel soapy/yukky/gunky. At the same time hair at this stage doesnt feel particularly soft either.
At first the smell to my nasal passages is horrible. Sickly sweet and a bit like a smelly incense stick. I always dry my hair the same way, on a cool setting. The smell evaporates quite a lot and I was left with a fairly pleasant slightly fruity fresh smell. Now as I'd ordered this product two weeks prior to using it I wasn't sure what to expect as it doesn't say on the bottle. I checked on the website and it is meant to condition and help defrizz hair and control flyways.
I would like to take Avon on over this claim. It sends my hair into frizzy heaven! Fly-aways are something I don't actually suffer with unless my hair is over conditioned. Now even though I say that I can use this product along with other products so all is not lost but on its own on my head it is a nightmare. However use this with my other products my hair is lovely and soft and silky. It works well if I straighten my hair and wear it down. If I straighten it and wear it up then no chance. A band can't hold it in place as it's just to silky.
Where this product really does excel is something that Avon doesn't boast and that is with its shine. Now I have no idea whether its just my hair or what but this stuff works as well on the shine boosting qualities as do a lot of rather expensive products I have specifically bought for their promise of shine enhancement and in some case works so much better.
Also for a conditioning product it really isn't heavy and really does give a lot of body to my hair and makes it very bouncy.
If I want body and I want shine and I'm prepared to work through the issues of frizz and fly-aways this really is a little gem and it's Cheap and cheerful. However if your buying it for Avon says it will achieve and not what I'm saying I think you shall find it disappointing. Although it is a conditioning mist and does make my hair a little over conditioned at times oddly enough it doesn't upset the more greasy parts of my hair.
My preferred use of this is on dry hair before I go to sleep at night as it is only a fine mess so I'm not sleeping with soggy hair and I find it works on the conditioning front the same as my Neutrogena leave in night conditioner that cos me something like 6 times as much as this. It lasts ages in the bottle as you don't need loads of it and I would advise anyone to give it a go as its a decent offering from Avon.
On special offer from Avon only 99p. Normally £2.00.
This silky conditioning spray replenishes and detangles hair and helps to eliminate frizz and flyaways /

Speech recognition - step 4
You must next configure voice recognition. The wizard asks if it can review your documents and emails to learn commonly used phrases, but you can skip this stage. This is more a question of time rather than privacy, in that the information is not shared with anyone but can improve accuracy in voice recognition.
Speech recognition - step 5
The wizard will display a printable sheet of common commands that are useful for navigating the desktop. It will also ask whether you wish to run speech recognition at startup. Once you have completed these steps, you can use your voice to control your PC and then proceed to the tutorial to fine-tune speech recognition.
Speech recognition - step 6
The tutorial takes you through the basics of using voice-recognition tools, introducing you to the microphone tool and giving feedback on how easily Vista can understand you. Use the Speech Options to restart the tutorial at any point should you, for example, need to retrain Windows to recognise your voice.

CHICAGO (AP) - Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley says he's seriously thinking about running for Illinois governor.
The brother of former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley spoke Thursday before the civic group City Club of Chicago. In his speech he talked about leadership and his father, former Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. Bill Daley also talked about Illinois' fiscal problems including the roughly $95 billion in unfunded pension liability.

P. Suryanarayana Murthy, senior advocate and J. Kaleswara rao, chartered accountant, have jointly appealed to the judiciary to follow the amended Civil Procedure Code (CPC) for speedy justice.
While addressing media conference in Rajahmundry on Saturday they said that the original CPC which was enacted during 1908, was amended during the year 2002 and the amended procedure would help settle civil cases within six months, avoiding the delay in settling the civil cases.
Basing on this amendment the defendant would be given 30 days for filing counter reply which otherwise be given a maximum of 90 days in exceptional cases.
By following this process, while dealing the civil cases, a maximum of five to six months would be sufficient to settle the cases, they added.

I really like the product. It is heavier than I thought and since my lathe is on the cheap side I hope that doesn't wear too much on the bearings. Otherwise it is easy to use and does a real good job for me. I got the 25mm jaws and am making a chess set and it is working great.

topspin on pronated serve

I'm with the folks who are not-so-big on all this lingo, but don't get me wrong - I'm absolutely on your side as far as developing a topspin serve.
Here's the thing: unless you elbow yourself good 'n hard in the stomach when you hit your flat serve, congratulations, you have pronation! That particular action is really a result of other things - those "things" are the deliberate actions that are where you want your focus. With the right setup, grip, toss location, swing path, contact point, etc., you'll get that topspin going just fine. Stay patient though.
One tricky aspect of getting topspin on that serve is that we need to catch the ball before the racquet tops out - that's not so easy when we have a flat serve as a reference. To make some topspin (for a right-hander), the contact point with the toss is usually slightly lower and also slightly more to the left, the swing path may be more left-to-right, and a grip position shaded a bit more toward eastern backhand may also help.
This is a pretty significant to-do list. Instead of "throwing" the racquet through the back of the ball to drive a flat serve toward the target, hitting with topspin means learning to "throw" the racquet upward through the ball. Instead of swinging right toward the target, a topspin serve uses more angular contact to send the ball toward a target. Building that instinct will take some deliberate practice.
In the mean time, keep your arm good 'n loose - it will pronate on its own if the other things are going right.

We stayed here overnight. I have lived in Peoria all my life and never knew this place existed. It is very large, clean and spacious. Very nice grounds-nice level sites. There are some seasonal sites apart from the overnight ones. They are very well kept. Nice dog walk area. Owners were friendly. The only issue we had was the entrance to the campground has a huge bump which really did a number on the RV and the speed bumps are overkill. Otherwise we would definitely stay here again. We camped at Chillicothe RV & Recreation Area in a Motorhome.

Most sites are taken by permanent residents which are waterfront on small lakes. Most of the permanent sites are tastefully decorated with patio lights or walkway lights and have added pleasing landscaping. The showers were clean and hot, but a bit of a walk as the bathhouse is next to the office at the entrance. At night, walking from the bathhouse, the campground is beautiful, as all the low voltage lighting around the sites makes a pleasant picture and is very inviting. The lakes were clean with sandy beaches. My dogs loved going for a swim. Electric service works well and good water pressure. Sight was gravel and was slightly graded, but not bad. Nice concrete pad with picnic table. We were able to get a site with a large tree, although not many of the non-residents have shade. Overall, a nice place to spend a night or two and town is only minutes away. We camped at Chillicothe RV & Recreation Area in a Motorhome.

This is a "membership" type park with permanent folks there. I believe it's seasonal (closed during winter). There is a single row of available sites for 'transients' like us, that are all pull-thrus. Maximum length though is 40'. Gate closed and locked at night but you get the combination while staying there. No laundry or store, but there's a laundry in town a few miles down the road. There's also fishing and scuba diving available as one of the kids living there told me there's an old plane (or boat) out in the lake for divers to explore. It's a very big area and the permanent folks all use golf carts (nobody seems to walk), but plenty of places to walk around. It's quiet there and the park met our basic requirements (hookups and reasonable rate). We camped at Chillicothe RV & Recreation Area in a Motorhome.
