Bearded university savants opine that Southern California is the center of car culture. We humbly beg to differ.
SoCal is actually a nexus of automotive worship. Dazed acolytes jam endless expanses of concrete, consuming countless gallons of fossil fuel in search of mechanical enlightenment--or at least a fleeting moment of vehicular prestige.
That might sound like a sacrilegious harsh on their mellow, but having thrashed my way through so many crushing rush hours on SoCal freeways, I've become a bit jaded. And this attitude helps to resolve my emotional dissonance over relocating from the balmy climate there to the cold and blustery high Sierras of Northern Nevada.
Even so, upon returning for visits, as I did recently with my wife, Tina, for our anniversary celebration at a couple of tony Hyatt resorts, we find ourselves transfixed at times. As transplanted SoCal residents, we suffer from the same weakness as Lot's wife. Having fled Sodom and Gomorrah, we look back longingly, paralyzed by the vision of a pagan landscape chock-full of allurements.
That's the decadent core of this rambling story of what a Corvette enthusiast can expect and enjoy on a visit to SoCal. But before delving into those enticements and attractions, we should touch on a few practical aspects of getting around.
Comedian Johnny Carson once quipped, "If you stick to the speed limit in Southern California, you'd better have a ramp on your roof, because they'll drive right over you." Of course, Corvette enthusiasts rarely linger at leisurely velocities, so no big worry there.
In addition, keep in mind that SoCal drivers haven't figured out how to use turn signals yet (or maybe they employ some sort of automotive telepathy when changing lanes). They also have difficulty handling anything other than direct sunlight, so be advised when there's an occasional layer of moisture on the pavement. On the other hand, the sunny climate there makes it an ideal location for driving a convertible, Corvette or otherwise.
A greater challenge is finding uncongested roads for stompin' the loud pedal. But when you do, the expanses of smooth pavement are utterly compelling. The temptation of driving a Corvette in SoCal is like letting a binge drinker loose in a liquor barn--so many lanes, so little time.
While avoiding commuting time frames is just common sense, it's no guarantee that you won't encounter a snarled collection of cars on either midday or late-night drives due to a drive-by shooting (or a movie shoot). Which begs a question--why so many damn automobiles?
As famously--albeit apocryphally--depicted in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, at one time Los Angeles had a fairly efficient streetcar system. According to the movie plot and conspiracy theorists, however, it was eviscerated by General Motors, along with tire and oil business interests, in favor of buses and private conveyances. In reality, other factors of human frailty accounted for the demise of SoCal's mass-transit system, such as simple convenience and a proclivity for self-indulgence.
After all, who wouldn't prefer to man the wheel of a convertible Corvette on sunny Sunset Strip instead of schlepping along in a lumbering trolley? How can you ogle those budding starlets (insert your own euphemism here) from the splintering bench seat of a tram? Let alone impress them with your ostensible credentials as a movie producer?
So San Francisco can keep its quaint cable cars and efficient-yet-sterile BART trains. We'd rather be romping the throttle with gusto on the Ventura highway in the sunshine, headed for glory at several waypoints of special interest.
To wit, after picking up a canary-yellow C6 courtesy of Chevrolet at LAX (where you can also readily rent a Corvette if you're not driving your own into the area), we started our SoCal sojourn with a graphic contrast to the surrounding urban environment. In downtown Los Angeles, just east of the intersection of the 110 and 101 freeways, near Union Station, is Olvera Street. It's a short, shaded block of Mexican vendors, sort of like a minuscule sample of Tijuana, but without any little kids hawking Chiclets.

slavinm The facilities were a bit limited as unfortunately there was no fridge or facilities to make tea or coffee at the hotel. It was in a very convenient position and also with good security.
bearsden44 We found the ladies at the front desk to be VERY helpful and were able to answer all of our questions. The room was quiet and clean and I would recommend a stay here to anyone. It has a lift and was reasonably easy to find. The taxi had trouble finding the street, but there was road construction as well. Great location for walking around the city. 5 min walk to Plaza Mayor.
josephine. Loved the place! Good location, (though the small streets downstairs could get dodgy at night - just avoid walking alone), lovely staff (though the old couple don't speak much English (their son does but wasn't around much), the lady is very good at "sign language" and very willing to explain things etc. :) She even let us choose our room from two choices. No computers but there was free wifi, clean rooms, they have a kitchen but it's private (but you could ask for hot water). Would definitely recommend.

Do you have questions about Madrid? You might try asking in our active travel forums and see if anyone else has been there.

Natural Contour AIRpod KitsComplimenting Highlight and Lowlight Shades
The Perfect Contour Every Time
Watch and Learn the Professional Secret to Contouring
Done with the sun? Take a permanent vacation with AIRpod™ Face Tan. Our ultra-lightweight, DHA emulsion formula lets you build a natural-looking tan hue that gradually deepens to your desired sun goddess shade over time. Designed to deliver a radiant, streak-free glow to your face and décolletage.
Let's Get Started!AIRbrush application allows your AIRpod Face Tan color to be seamlessly blended, streak-free and mess free.
STEP 1 Prep your face by cleansing, then exfoliating your face and décolleté. Dry well, and apply a moisturizer and SPF. Wait five minutes to allow your skin to dry.>STEP 2 With the AIRbrush 6-8 inches from the skin. Apply AIRpod Face Tan all over the face, neck, and décolleté in a consistent, circular motion. When applied, it will look clear and wet.STEP 3 Allow the product to dry for five minutes before applying AIRpod Makeup. Color will develop over three hours and will last up to four days and begin to naturally fade away after day two.How long will my tan last? Color will begin to develop on skin within 30 minutes. Tanning results will last up to 4 days and begin to naturally fade away after day 2.How can I get a deep tan? This product is meant to help you achieve gradual tanning results.

Midwest Living Review
Red Wing has always been one of Minnesota's most beloved shopping destinations for antiques seekers, especially the intensely loyal Red Wing pottery fanatics. A small museum at the three-story Pottery Place retail complex shows the evolution of pottery in Red Wing, from roughly crafted old-world crocks for butter, sauerkraut and pickles to elegant dinnerware decades later. And those collectible pieces (and much more) can be found at Pottery Place Antiques. Nostalgia lovers can easily roam for hours through vast, dense aisles of floral juice glasses, Watts ware, rare bottles, vintage hats and aprons, rare toys, beer glasses, old books, and colorful quilts. May through October, visitors get even more choices with the Pottery Place's outdoor flea markets the first and third weekends of the month. Other noteworthy stores include playful women's wear at Whimsy's Closet, sassy pajamas and fragrant bath products at Bed and Bath Treasures, cooking gear and gadgets at Pete's Kitchen Corner, and more than 10,000 pairs of casual, comfortable shoes and boots from Merrell, CAT and Wolverine at the Hush Puppies outlet store. Next door to Pottery Place, Red Wing Pottery and Shops (1920 W. Main St., 800-228-0174) has its full line of iconic crocks, handmade salt-glazed stoneware, and popular novelties such as coffee mugs, lamp bases and French butter dishes. The bread bakers work well with another local favorite: Sturdiwheat bread or buckwheat pancake mixes. Prefer more color? This also is the nation's No. 1 retailer of Fiestaware and boasts an extensive selection of kitchenware and decor. Connecting shops sell playful birdbaths, women's clothing, candy and Minnesota souvenirs.

The DC Universe is turning to crap on a stick. Where is everyone? What the hell is going on? I admit that Blackest Night has lived up to the hype and Green Lantern has been hitting them out of the park, but other than that the DC is screwed-up beyond belief:
-Batman is dead
-Superman isn't on Earth or even in his own titles
-Flash doesn't have an ongoing title
-Captain Marvel is MIA
-Hawkman & Hawkgirl are dead and Thanagar is destroyed
-Martian Manhunter is dead
-Aquaman is dead
-The new JLA looks more like The Titans than the JLA
-The JSA is split (and the new writing team doesn't hold a candle to Johns)
I think DC needs to get things back in order. They're losing all their money makers.

The only faces with a wide variety of moves are Kofi, Sheamus (somewhat), and now Del Rio. Cena, Orton, Ryback... They all have limited move sets. Maybe a manager would help (Vickie maybe, can't see Heyman with Ryback).

Detailed information on these activities can be found in both the annual reports and on the corporate websites of IBERDROLA's subsidiary and affiliate companies in Spain, United Kingdom, USA and Brazil.

The objectives and programmes of the Fundación IBERDROLA can be found on the website www.fundacioniberdrola.org.
IBERDROLA has a standing commitment to the conservation of heritage and promoting different forms of artistic expression. Our art collection is proof of such patronage, bringing together works from the Basque school, Spanish art, international pieces and examples of new media such as video. We loan pieces from our art collection to museums and institutions, and we also organise travelling exhibitions such as "Translucent Skin", which will be visiting Bilbao, Valladolid and Madrid. You can also visit our art collection at http://www.iberdrola-arte.es/ or via the new iPad app by going to App Store for iOS (iPad).

Christmas Hope
Contributed by David Sena, executive director of Northlands Rescue Mission (Grand Forks, N.D.). Reprinted with permission from the Voice of Grace newsletter.
Jesus was born anonymously, without the world noticing. Its important for the homeless and hurting men and women our missions serve to hear that simple sentence, because God has something for them that the world cant see.
Our guests need to know that they arent anonymous to God. He sees their needs even if others dont. He sees their need for love and grace no matter where they arejust as He saw the needs of the world 2,000 years ago.
The first Christmas was stressful and painful. It was filled with travel, rejection, and fear. Yet even though Mary and Joseph were turned away time and again, God found a place for them. And He has a place today for those who are homeless and living in despair. The holidays can remind people today of what they dont have or what they have lost. Yet God still is able to make even the most humble and stressful times magnificent.
We dont need to be afraid. As the angel announced at Jesus birth: Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord (Luke 2:1011).
God can bless us with joy, love, and laughter when we least expect it. He can surprise us just as He surprised the world with the birth of His Son. Both we and the people we serve can have hope that God loves us and sees us this Christmas and every day of the year.

Microsoft Surface 2 4G review21 May 2014
Just shy of a year ago the original Surface RT landed in Pocket-lint towers. And we were rather taken with its ambition. A tablet looking to steal the crown from laptops - a great idea. But an idea that, as we were acutely aware then, carried with it... >>

Female Offering Bearer
This semi-clad woman in a fringed coat and shawl must once have been part of a row of tomb figures bringing offerings for the deceased. She carries flowers draped over one arm and a pot in one hand. To judge from comparable reliefs whose dates and provenances are known, the tomb from which the relief came was a work of the fourth century B.C. in Lower Egypt.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
2007 Ford Mustang GT - Wonder Bred
Livernois Motorsports Baked Up Real-World Power In Its White Mustang Project
Horse Sense: Though the 5R55 tranny and converter are stock, the flexplate is an SFI-approved PRW billet replacement, and the driveshaft is a one-piece aluminum unit from Dynotech.
A while back we showed you Livernois Motorsports' first S197 test mule (Ebony Overkill, Nov. '06, p. 40), an understated, spoiler-less black coupe packing a built short-block and ProCharger F-1C centrifugal. We now present their latest S197, an understated, spoiler-less white coupe packing a built short-block and Whipple screw blower.
Truth be told, Livernois' head honcho Dan Millen would likely have chosen black for this one too, as he seems to have a thing for ebony street vehicles, but he eventually succumbed to the logic that we magazine types would probably rather not feature two cars from the same shop that looked practically identical.
Shameless self-promotion aside, the gang from Dearborn Heights didn't build it just so we'd feature it. Nope, they had a plan: "Our goal with this car," Livernois' marketing dude Rick LeBlanc says, "was to run 10-second e.t.'s on 20-inch tires with the stock automatic transmission and converter, stock camshafts, and with pump gas." We might as well tell you right up front that those goals were achieved, a feat that, among other things, says a lot about the strength and efficiency of Ford's 5R55 automatic. We've also noticed that Rick has sort of taken quiet possession of this thing and drives it as often as Michigan weather permits, so it's hardly a show/dyno queen. Indeed, Rick has been driving the coupe and testing its potency progress literally from day one, when he picked up the '07 GT from the dealership and drove it straight back to the Livernois shop Dynojet. It spun up 256 rwhp and 283 rwtq in brand-new form.
From the dyno, Rick tells us he headed directly to Milan Dragway and ran 14.19 at 98.01 mph dead stock. He then immediately flashed the GT with a Livernois premium-fuel calibration to take advantage of the 93-octane in the tank, and went 13.95 at 100.68. Risking life, limb, and burned pinkies, he promptly bolted on a C&L cold-air kit that he had in the trunk, and headed back down the strip to a best of 13.65 at 102.27 mph. All this with less than 90 miles on the odometer and on a 92-degree day.
With stock and bolt-on baselines established, it was time for the Whipple H.O. intercooled, twin-screw blower kit, along with a Corsa axle-back exhaust. While the wrenches were still smokin', they gave the coupe proper attitude and altitude with FRPP's Handling Pack (dampers, springs, bars, and strut-tower brace.) On the dyno, the power upgrades produced 428 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels, but the real test came back at Milan Dragway, where Rick's timeslip now read 11.92 seconds at 113 mph-well on the way to achieving their goals and with less than 150 miles on the odometer (this was still on stock rims).
The long Michigan winter allowed time to pull the engine, which was upgraded with Livernois' 298ci stroker short-block, detailed in a previous issue ("Supersize It," April '08, p. 62), CNC Stage 3 cylinder heads, and a set of custom Kooks 13/4-inch primary, long-tube headers feeding an off-road x-shaped crossover and MagnaFlow exhaust, all 3 inches in diameter. An Alky Control progressive methanol-injection kit was also added to protect against detonation at high boost levels on pump gas. The result was 520 hp and 480 lb-ft at the wheels with 17 psi of boost.

See who made this week's 6 to follow
Some of the very first decisions founders must make early on in their ventures are crucially important to the future of the business. Many of these decisions concern the ubiquitous "people problems" that challenge even experienced entrepreneurs. When should I found? Should I co-found with someone? With whom? How should we split the equity? Bad or ill-informed choices at critical junctures could have significant consequences for startups. In fact, research has suggested that 65 percent of new firm failures were related to problems within the management team.
I spent much of Global Entrepreneurship Week traveling. It's one of the things I love most about my work at the Kauffman Foundation. And in that travel, I've learned that entrepreneurship transcends borders and languages—but it is deeply impacted by culture and policy.
Can you guess where the follow startups were founded-- GameStop, Woot, Words with Friends, SOFTLAYER? Probably Silicon Valley, right? No. How about Boston? Wrong again. I'll give you a hint: it's the fourth largest media market in the country, home to 18 Fortune 500 companies and boasts two major airports, serving as headquarters for two major airlines. Sounds like a pretty good place to start a company, right? Dallas, and the surrounding area called the "Metroplex", sure thinks so and it wants you to start thinking so as well. On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the emerging startup scene in Dallas. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found here.
Long understood to be the engine of the U.S. economy, the world is embracing entrepreneurship as one of the primary means of building a long-term recovery. Ironically, for this spreading global fervor to make a sustainable impact, the world of entrepreneurship must shrink.
Something extraordinary happened in Kansas City last Thursday. For the second year in a row, some of Kansas City's largest organizations participated in a reverse pitch. KCNext, the host and organizer, brought in a capacity crowd of over 200 entrepreneurs and other Global Entrepreneurship Week event participants. There were 65 events in Kansas City spread across a week and a half. But this event was different. This one was special.
The latest Kauffman Sketchbook illustrates how the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program develops the critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills that help any individual think like an entrepreneur.
Last night I had the privilege of watching the first ever Get in the Ring Competition in the United States. Though this competition is in its sixth year, this was the first year that the United States had participated. The process began in August with groups of judges sorting through about 300 applications from startups all across the country. After several rounds of judging, the final eight startups were invited to Kansas City to participate in the U.S. version of Get in the Ring, the American Startup Clash.
Even with the most intuitive educational material, sometimes the most important thing a students needs is the ability to ask questions. For entrepreneurs, who are often lifelong learners, this is essential to the application of the material to their business. While online learning can facilitate opportunities to learn lessons anytime, anywhere that might not otherwise be available, the opportunity to engage directly with experts creates important connections and discussions.

What is Your BIG IDEA in just 6 WORDS?
Imagine if we could summarize our BIG ideas in 6 words and share them widely? Imagine the support, help and co-operation that can result from it! Let's spread those IDEAS even more!

Jul 17 2012: What is your favorite current and all time reading / book Juan?
Jul 18 2012: That's a really hard question...Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is one of my loved ones. Currently, I'm reading Ulysses by James Joyce is one of the greatest, very hard to read but once I got the rythm, I can't stop. Cien Anos de Soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude) is also a great book I have reread a bunch of times. A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare is a really beautiful book, as well as The Odyssey and The Iliad by Homer.

Jul 12 2012: Has happened so many times! What is one delusion that you can highlight for us that is turning in revolution recently Derek?
Jul 13 2012: Well Darina, any single idea would set some limit to the meaning of my comment, but some prime examples of Revolutions would probably be happening over in the Middle East over throwing their dictators. =)
It would also have to be all the scientists, civil rights activist, and innovators of the past, present, and future that takes credit for making these "Revolutions". I hope that ted.com is a place where everyone can find their own calling and revolutionalize a small part of the world because talk can be cheap without action backing it up.
May I practice what I preach, but some light reality checks every once in awhile can be good.
Thanks for reading my thoughts. =)Jul 11 2012: Build Bridges between Wisdom and Science
Jul 11 2012: So wise and scientific Raja! Love it! How do you that yourself?
Jul 11 2012: Thanks Darina! I am inspired by many other trail blazers....There are some people really trying hard to make this work - see Institute of Noetic Sciences - http://www.noetic.org. Also the work of the Dalai Lama's Mind and Life Institute http://www.mindandlife.org/. Then we have the Templeton Foundation http://www.templeton.org/ - great work. Also see Deepak Chopra's new book "War of the World Views"...as for me, well I continue to seek ways to explain my and other mystical experiences using neurosciences...let's see.Jul 11 2012: PS See my new TED2013 Audition talk from TED@BAngalore at http://talentsearch.ted.com/video/Raja-Choudhury-Indian-wisdom-fo;TEDBangalore....all about Indian wisdom and the modern world....

Tanka Poudel
Jul 24 2012: I am doing my homework honestly in this regard :) lets hope others are doing it as well. But its a goal that can not be measured and there are no straight path towards it. So the problem is in how to seek it. Mostly people opt for meditation as a medium and tend to study several techniques and follow gurus but my personal experience tells me that such attempts can only have a short term effect. To become conscious we need to find inner peace. For some even inner peace can come naturally. We need to travel within our thoughts as a sage wanders around the world. We need to become a great observer and listener. We might have to unlearn and relearn a great deal, we must be ready for this. We have to loose a lot specially our ego, attitude and even break down our self image to really make this happen. Being said all this how many of us are really ready to walk this direction less path.

Jul 20 2012: I am curious about breakthroughs in biological and physical science, new techologies.
I am curious about finding new ways to improve current methods of doing things
I am curious to learn about individuals who are pioneering new ways of thought, who are challengeing existing methods in global development, social science, economics.
In general I am curious to learn of new ideas that can possible shape the human race.
TED is a great platform for me to quench this thirst :)
What are you curious about?
Jul 21 2012: Mahabalraj, I am curious about all those and more. The list is REALLY long, but most of all how by co-creating the future and collaborating on a massive global scale we can not only avoid all the disasters but create a whole new way of living, learning & sharing!Jul 13 2012: Inspire for the Hope and Happiness.

Only if it's on free tv. It would make a nice freebie but other than that I'd rather see other fights we've never seen before.
I think that makes sense. Unfortunately Tito has only one fight left on his contract, so how they could do this I'm not sure. Without a new contract it's not possible.Originally Posted by The Sundance Kid
Rashad dominated at the end? You mean like the last 20 seconds of the entire fight?Originally Posted by eazye76
I think Tito should fight Houston Alexander who destroyed Keith Jardine. I think that would make for a better fight than tito/evans 2.
If you want to see a close fight make it Tito v. His Own Ego. There is no winner in that fight.
would love to see them fight anothe fight b4 the rematch as well. although i think they will have to settle the score. i have always loved tito, dont think think i will grow out of it. just think since he lost the title... he feel off. even the vitor fight he let me down. nothing to do w/ vitor, hes one of my favs as well, just the fight its self let me down. i think its a confidence thing w/ tito. i think he fights down to his competiton. tito vs rampage i think would be a great fight for tito. love to see him fight shogun as well. but tito needs to really find another camp, i think him getting out of his comfort zone and get his ass handed to him in another camp would probably do him a lot of good.
I am also getting tired of washed up Tito fighting the same people. Its like he needs to fight them once to come up with a game plan for a second fight, his glory days are LONG gone in the UFC, he needs to jus be Jenna's body guard or something......

Please review the policies and procedures carefully. They were established to assist you in conducting a successful and lawful event as well as to preserve the mansion and grounds for the enjoyment of others. Gonzaga University Campus Services considers these policies and procedures to be an integral part of the Bozarth Mansion Usage Agreement. Failure to comply may result in cancellation or termination of your event or the assessment of additional charges.
Alcoholic Beverages:
Bozarth is a beer and wine only facility. Bozarth Management also prefers that red wine only be consumed outdoors. A Washington State Banquet Permit must be obtained to serve these beverages on the premises. The permit is available at local liquor stores and must be posted at your event. This includes "Bring Your Own" and other similar events. As a reminder, State Law prohibits the consumption or possession of alcohol by persons less than 21 years of age.
All persons associated with the event must comply with the policies outlined in this guide as well as state and federal laws and county ordinances. If a dispute arises as to the application and interpretation of the policies, Bozarth Management has the final say. You are financially and behaviorally responsible for the actions of all who attend the event.
Guests may not smoke inside any of the buildings. They may smoke outside, but we ask that they use the appropriate ash receptacles to dispose of their waste. Clean up of excessive "butts" from flowerbeds, sidewalks, driveways, etc. will be charged back to you.
Spokane County has a noise curfew of 10 p.m. Therefore, any music or other loud activity that impacts the neighborhood around Bozarth will be discontinued at 10 p.m. At any time, the Bozarth Staff may regulate the noise level of an activity occurring inside or outside the mansion.
Guests may only park in the gravel parking lot southeast of the mansion, in the paved lot south of the mansion or on Fairwood Drive. Loading and unloading is permitted in the main driveway provided that vehicles are not left unattended. No parking is allowed in fire lanes, the employee-only parking area or on the lawn. Vehicles parked in these areas are subject to towing. You will be charged for any towing expenses regardless of whether or not the vehicle is actually towed as well as any damage to property from guests parking or driving on the lawn.
Personal Property:
Gonzaga University and its agents are not responsible for lost or stolen property. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that personal belongings are secured in a safe place. Items found at Bozarth are held for thirty (30) days and if not claimed, disposed of.
To preserve the mansion and grounds for the enjoyment of others, any attachment of decorations inside or outside of any of the buildings or on the grounds must be approved by the Bozarth Staff. In general, nails, thumb tacks, staples, stakes, duct tape, scotch tape, and regular masking tape may not be used. String, ribbon, removable plastic adhesive, and blue "painter's" masking tape may be used as long as they do not cause any damage.
Birdseed, Bubbles, Confetti, Rice, Silly String, Etc.:
Bubbles are allowed outside the mansion only. Rose petals may be used outside the mansion, but are not recommended as you are responsible for completely cleaning them up. Confetti, rice, silly string, birdseed and similar items are not allowed inside or outside of the mansion.
Only two candelabras may be ued during an event and they must have something underneath to contain the wax. There are to be no candles along the aisles or on the carpet or wood work. For an indoor reception, candles may be used on tables if they are in a suitable container to catch the wax. Any wax found on the carpet will result in an extra cleaning charge. Outdoors--Candles are permitted on the tables and along the front ledge in the garden and must be in containers to hold the wax. No candles are permitted along the back ledge. Any wax found on the brickwork will be charged back to the client for cleaning. Please discuss your use of candles with the Bozarth Management prior to your event.
Food and Beverages:
Gonzaga University does not assume any liability for food or beverages prepared and/or served at Bozarth. Further, we strongly recommend that any food and/or beverage that stains easily, such as red fruit punch, not be served. Therefore, since you have control over the food and beverage selection, stains will not be considered normal wear and tear. Any charges resulting from the cleaning or repair of stains will be assessed to the user.
Cleaning and Damages:
You are responsible for any excessive cleaning or damage resulting from the event or the actions of your members and/or guests. Dancing and Dance Floors:Dancing is allowed on the porch without a dance floor. A dance floor is required for dancing in the mansion or on the lawn, however, there is no dancing allowed in the formal garden. Dance floors must be set up and taken down within the allotted time. Check with Bozarth Mansion prior to renting a dance floor to discuss location and placement of dance floor.
We ask you to leave the Bozarth Mansion, kitchen, residence hall, and grounds in the same condition as you found them at the beginning of the event. Your assistance helps keep the rental costs down. The following general guidelines will assist you in cleaning; additionally, the Bozarth Staff will be available to provide specific suggestions.
- General cleaning supplies such as brooms, mops, mop buckets, etc. are located in the housekeeping closet to the left of the range in the kitchen.
- Please ensure that all trash from the kitchen, dining room, pantry areas, and porches be removed. There is a large cart located near the kitchen porch for use in hauling trash to the dumpster located in the south parking lot. The Bozarth Staff will supply the replacement can liners.
- Please ensure that all kitchen equipment used during the event be wiped down. Specifically, please empty and wipe down any spills in the refrigerator and freezer, clean the range with a grill brick and if used, empty the grease tray into the garbage, rinse out the sink, wipe down the counters, and empty and rinse the coffee maker with clean water.
- Please return tables and chairs to their respectable storage locations. Round tables and indoor chairs are located on the kitchen porch, rectangular/buffet tables are located in the dining room and the outdoor chairs are located in the laundry room off the kitchen. Event users are responsible for the complete set-up and tear down of all equipment.
- Please sweep and mop the kitchen and butler's pantry floors.
- Carpeted areas may need to be vacuumed if there is excessive debris.
- Please remove all decorations along with any material used to attach the decorations. Please do not forget to remove any decorations or directional signs placed on the grounds or on the way to Bozarth.
- Overnight guests should strip their beds, place all used linen in the pillowcase, and leave the bundle in the hallway outside of their room door. The pillows, blankets and/or bedspread, and mattress pad (mansion only) should be left in the room on the bed.
- All furniture, moved in preparation for or during the event, must be returned to its original location.
- Any borrowed items, such as extension cords, cord adapters, or any other items are to be returned to the Bozarth Staff.

New For 2013Launched in the spring of 2012, the 2013 JX35 has only one engine option: Nissan's 3.5-liter DOHC V-6 with 265 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. There are only two models—front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive—but Infiniti has plenty of extra options available, including a backup collision-intervention system.
OverviewInfiniti already had three utility vehicles, but that didn't stop the company from adding a fourth, the JX crossover. Sizewise, the seven-passenger vehicle is flanked by Infiniti's FX and QX. The FX and its smaller sibling, the EX, prioritize style over utility, and the QX is a powerful behemoth. That left a hole for a crossover that could compete with the Acura MDX, the Audi Q7, the BMW X5, and the Lincoln MKT. The JX is spacious inside with a passenger volume of 149.8 cubic feet, making it larger than the Lincoln MKT. The second-row seats slide fore and aft about six inches to provide reasonable legroom for both rows of rear seats. Cargo space increases when the third row is folded. Standard features include leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, keyless entry and ignition, a power liftgate, and a rearview camera. The JX shares its platform with the Nissan Murano and is fitted with the same V-6 and continuously variable transmission, making it the first Infiniti with front-wheel drive (four-wheel drive is an $1100 option) and a CVT. The transmission emphasizes fuel economy over performance; it has a sport mode that mimics a conventional transmission, but it's not nearly as crisp or satisfying as Infiniti's seven-speed automatic. The JX has style, practicality, and functionality and, more important, fills a void in Infiniti's lineup.
SafetyStandard are ABS, stability and traction control, six air bags, and three-row side curtain air bags.
You'll like:
- Nicely styled
- Fits seven comfortably
- Lots of standard features
You won't like:
- Only one powertrain available

I'm sorry for not making it clear. You know when some user's posts seem to stick? Like Dot Matrix's love for Windows 8, or Calum and his semantics (no offense, Calum), Borman and her, well, Borman. Look at this thread (good thing I found it quick on search). You'll notice that she owns an iPad 2, an LG phone, a Mac user, her 'country', and a mention of Flow Free as well. Then, she once posted a thread about 'her friend's' mockup of WP8 which is actually just a ripoff of a TheVerge forum post.
I fail to see the similarity between the two users, so I don't know where you're drawing this assumption from.
Either way, how does it prove that there's simultaneous downloads, one bar is empty, which could be waiting until the other download has finished, there's no solid proof in that screenshot of anything yet.

1971 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Cards
The 1971 O-Pee-Chee set consists of 752 cards, all of which measure 2 ½" by 3 ½". The cards are similar to the 1971 Topps cards, but can be distinguished by the "Printed in Canada" text. Also, the color of the reverse side of the 1971 OPC cards is yellow, whereas the reverse side of the 1971 Topps cards is green. Except for cards 524- 752 which were printed in English only, the rest of the 1971 OPC cards were printed in both French and English. As before, the 1971 O-Pee-Chee cards were distributed in eight-card dime packs which came 36 packs per box.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ v2.0
When should I use the proxy server or VPN?
Most electronic resources are licensed by The Library from companies in business for profit. The terms of our contracts with these companies stipulate that The Library allow only UC faculty, students and staff to use these materials.
Consequently, when you are off campus you will not be able to access many of the online journals and databases that you could access while on campus, unless you use the Library proxy server or Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Note: For technical and contractual reasons there may be some resources that are not accessible from off campus at all.
Who can use VPN?
To download and run the VPN software, you must be a current UC Berkeley student, faculty, or staff member with a CalNet ID. You can view a Network Service Eligibility Report describing your current status (those eligible for "Campus VPN: Full Tunnel" can use the Library VPN).
Persons not affiliated with UC Berkeley cannot use the VPN system, but can use licensed electronic resources via public computers in the libraries. For more information, see connect from off-campus.
What is VPN?
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is software that runs on your off-campus computer. After you log in with your CalNet ID and passphrase, VPN establishes a secure "tunnel" to the UC Berkeley network. When you use a VPN connection, your computer will have a UC Berkeley IP address instead of the one normally supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This allows you to use article databases, electronic journals, and other licensed resources found through the Library website and catalogs.
How do I find a dissertation from UC Berkeley?
The ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database indexes graduate dissertations from over a thousand graduate school and universities, and includes full-text access to dissertations published since 1997. The database also includes full-text dissertations from the University of California from:
- September 1962 - December 1970 and
- December 1975 - present
If you can't find a specific UC Berkeley dissertation on ProQuest, go to Oskicat and choose to limit your search to "Dissertations/Theses" using the dropdown on the far right of the search page:
If you're not on campus, and you are not a UC Berkeley student, faculty or staff member, you may be able to access UC Berkeley dissertations for a fee from ProQuest's Dissertation Express or, for items in our collection, using our photoduplication services.
See also: all electronic dissertation and thesis resources at UC Berkeley.
Why would a licensed resource lose all of its page formatting?
Browsers configured to use the proxy server must have third party cookies enabled to ensure that images and stylesheets called by the licensed resource are available via the proxy server. Loss of page formatting is an excellent clue that you do not have third party cookies enabled in your browser.
What do I do when asked to log into the proxy server within a resource that uses frames?
If authentication becomes necessary while you are working with a resource that uses frames, the login form will be displayed within one of the resource's frames. Generally this is no problem, but sometimes it is displayed in a short or narrow frame where it is hard to read.
You can usually adjust the dimensions of the frame by dragging its boundaries with the mouse. Alternately, you can use your "Tab" key to move from one field to another within that frame.
After logging into the proxy server via CalNet, why do I sometimes see a window with a "Connect to Resource" button?
Usually after you have logged in, your browser is redirected straight to the resource you initially requested. However, under two different circumstances, the proxy server instead displays a window containing a "Connect to Resource" button:
- A few resources, such as the Biblioline databases, spawn a new browser window when they are invoked. This can cause problems, which we avoid by instead displaying the window with the "Connect to Resource" button.
- When authentication takes place while you're in the midst of a search operation, you may be returned to a "Connect to Resource" form if the resource sends its search parameters using the "POST" method of data transmission.
In either case, clicking on the "Connect to Resource" button will usually get you where you're going.
Why do I see warnings about going from secure to insecure (and vice versa) connections when logging into the proxy server with my CalNet ID?
Authentication via the CalNet proxy server is a complex process, involving several redirections of your browser between the proxy server and the campus authentication server, which use different security protocols. If your browser is set to warn you upon entering or leaving a secure environment, you may see such a warning when going through the steps of this process.
You do not need to worry about these messages. The only exchange of confidential information takes place when you enter your CalNet ID and passphrase, and that exchange is encrypted and highly secure. Your ID and passphrase are seen only by the campus's authentication server and are not transmitted back over the Internet, so your confidential information cannot be observed by any unauthorized third party.
You may be able to change your browser's security settings to eliminate these warning messages. However, please read the browser's help documentation carefully to make sure you understand the implications of this change.
Why does the proxy server sometimes ask me to log in when I'm not accessing a licensed library resource?
Many online information vendors use several servers within the same internet domain to provide their services. In such cases, the Library proxy is active for the entire domain to ensure that all these resources are available to the campus community.
Sometimes sites which are available freely to the public and would not require the proxy are served from within the same internet domain as sites which require a license. Therefore, if your browser is configured to use the proxy server, you may be asked to log in to access such a site.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If it becomes bothersome, you can turn off the proxy setting in your browser (for details on how to do this, consult the setup instructions).
Can I use VPN from a home network?
As long as your web browser supports SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), as most browsers do, VPN should work if your computer connects to the Internet via a home network. It has been used successfully with a number of wireless routers, such as Linksys, Netgear, Belkin, and Apple Airport Base Station (except the Graphite model).

Don't Tough it Out: Put An End to Allergy Bravado
As Ragweed Season Begins, A SLU Allergist Offers Steps for Relief
While most of us acknowledge the need to see a doctor and take antibiotics for, say, strep throat, many of us attempt to power through when it comes to allergies. Whether we take pride in toughing it out, put off making a doctor's appointment, or simply assume allergies will go away quickly on their own, many of us suffer unnecessarily, a Saint Louis University allergist says.
|Raymond Slavin, M.D.
"Quality of life illnesses are those disorders that are regarded as unimportant to those who don't have them," said Raymond Slavin, M.D., professor of allergy at SLU and SLUCare allergist. "With ragweed season upon us, it's time to consider the quality of life cost of seasonal allergies.
Around 40 million Americans suffer from allergic rhinitis of some sort, and those who suffer from ragweed allergies may already be noticing symptoms. Ragweed season seems to have started a little later than usual this year, Slavin says, which is a welcome delay. In general, allergists have noted ragweed's lengthening growing season in recent years, a change which experts attribute to global warming.
The effect seasonal allergies have on quality of life often is greater than we recognize. Because symptoms can last for weeks, you may not be aware of just how many days of the year you aren't up to par, feel grumpy, have a fuzzy head or aren't performing at your best, all because of allergy symptoms.
In addition to the discomfort of the symptoms themselves, allergies can lead to sinus infections, middle ear infections, malocclusion of teeth with an increased need for orthodontia, a predisposition to asthma, and more viral infections overall.
"There are no medals for living with allergy symptoms," Slavin said. "Rather than fighting through headaches, runny noses, sore throats and itchy eyes, put your resolve into something productive, like powering through your morning run."
If you take stock and realize your allergy bravado is holding you back from tackling the rest of your life with gusto, consider this four-step plan to directly improve your quality of life.
Step One: Avoid allergens by closing windows, changing air conditioning filters, and limiting outdoor activities. If you feel better, you have a good clue that allergies are at work, rather than a cold or sinus infection.
Step Two: Try over-the-counter medicines like Claritin, Allegra or Zyrtec.
Step Three: If over-the-counter medicines don't do the trick or if you find yourself missing out on outdoor activities, visit an allergist. Prescription nasal sprays containing either steroids or antihistamines may be in order. Your allergist may do a skin prick test to zero in on your precise allergens if the source of your symptoms isn't clear.
Step Four: If you continue to suffer, your allergist may recommend immunotherapy. While the series of shots must be administered over the course of a few years to increase your body's tolerance to the allergen, the good news is that recipients report improvements in symptoms within a few months after beginning treatment.
SLUCare, the physician practice of Saint Louis University School of Medicine, is the only academic medical practice in St. Louis that is fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care Inc. This accreditation is a voluntary process through which the quality of SLUCare services and performance is measured against nationally recognized standards. To schedule an appointment, call 314-977-4440 or 1-866-977-4440. More information is available at www.slucare.edu.
