Some of the Valley's oldest buildings are schools. What schools in your district are historic? See our list of schools built before the 1950s.
Many Valley school districts have passed over the century mark — or are rapidly approaching it.
Some, like Paradise Valley Unified School District, began with one-room schoolhouses in the middle of the desert. Starting July 1, 1913, kids rode or walked for miles to the little school.
Others opened with a grander vision. The Phoenix Elementary School District's Kenilworth School, for instance, opened in 1920, with classical architecture that aimed to inspire students to love learning and the classics.
A few more examples:
-- Glendale School District No. 40 was founded in 1892, the same year as the town, with the first Glendale Grammar School opening a few years later. The school moved to the Glendale Landmark location, near 59th and Myrtle avenues, in 1913.
-- The Peoria Unified School District opened in 1889 with 15 students.
-- Glendale Union High School District opened Glendale High School in 1911.
-- A log schoolhouse in the Southwest Valley eventually became Liberty Elementary School District in 1908.
Many of these schools still stand today.
Historic Valley schools
Here are some of the Valley's historical schools.
Tempe High School
Address: 1730 S. Mill Ave., Tempe
History: The school's original building at Mill Avenue and University Drive opened in 1908. It has been torn down. The present Tempe High School building, at Mill Avenue and Broadway Road, opened in 1953.
Notable features of current building: When the current Tempe High building was renovated and expanded in the 1990s, it was important to alumni and the community to maintain its 1950s look. The original red-brick exterior remains, and the school auditorium has its original birchwood seating.

Peoria High School
Address: 11200 N. 83rd Ave., Peoria
History: Peoria High's first building, Old Main, was constructed in 1919 and opened in 1922. The building is in its original location. It has been closed for several years but will reopen for classes in the 2014-2015 school year. This fall, it will be the new home to students who attend the Peoria Transition Center, which is for struggling students. In the spring, a program called the Medical, Engineering and Technology Professional Academy will begin there.
Notable features: The building has three floors — a basement, the main floor and a second floor. Its exterior is made of stucco over lath, and the building is known for its beautiful pillars and fine detail. Old Main maintains much of its original wood flooring and structural wooden beams. Some of those beams are still exposed in the remodel. An interesting note: The wood for those beams was cut in the north country, brought here by rail and carried from the railway to the site by oxen.

Chandler High School
Address: 350 N. Arizona Ave., Chandler
History: In 1921, the school was occupied but under construction. It was completed and dedicated in 1922. Chandler High School is still in its original location and is still being used as a school.
Notable features: Chandler High's Old Main and small gymnasium were named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

Glendale High School
Address: 6216 W. Glendale Ave., Glendale
History: Built in 1912. The school is still it is original location.
Notable features: The auditorium front is from the original building and is considered a historical landmark.

West High School/Metro Tech High School
Address: 1900 W. Thomas Road, Phoenix
History: Opened as West High in 1949.
Notable features: Closed in 1982 and reopened in 1985 as Metro Tech Vocational Institute of Phoenix. The school became a comprehensive high school again in 1999, offering both academic and career and technical courses. West High used to have an Olympic swimming pool, but it was filled in and today's cafeteria was built on top of it. Another feature, dedicated in 1959, was a Foucault pendulum, the only one of its kind at a local high school. It demonstrated, among other things, that the Earth rotates on its axis. Another distinctive feature is a sundial perched on the side of the brick incinerator smokestack. Unlike a circular sundial that lays flat, this sundial shows all 12 hours on a half-circle.

North Phoenix High School/North High School
Address: 1101 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix
History: Opened in 1939 and was named North High School in 1959.
Notable features: North High opened in the fall of 1939. It was planned and financed through the use of Roosevelt's New Deal Works Projects Administration and Public Works Administration funds. North High was shuttered because of declining enrollment in 1981. Parents sued the Phoenix Union High School district over the closure, and a U.S. District Court judge ruled in their favor. The school reopened in 1983. Today it is known for a popular International Baccalaureate Magnet Program. One unique aspect of the school is its built-in lockers in the hallways. While every other school in the district removed lockers, North still has them. Film and commercial producers have said it reminds people of a traditional high school. The original gym is a classic, and was used in the filming of Charles Barkley's "I am not a role model" commercial for Nike. The football field likewise has an old-school look, with lattice tower light poles, and a concrete grandstand.

Dunbar School
Address: 707 W. Grant St., Phoenix
History: Built in 1925. Dunbar is still in its original location and is still an operating school.
Notable features: By 1925, Paul Lawrence Dunbar School had outgrown its two classrooms in the segregated school for Black students. The school's parents and other community members demanded a new school that would properly honor the great poet and rival any other school in Phoenix. Little information is available in newspaper accounts of the time or in the school-board minutes, but it appears parents and community members agreed to the design. The one-story brick building was built in a Second Renaissance Revival style.

Kenilworth School
Address: 1210 N. Fifth Ave., Phoenix
History: Built in 1920 and is still in its original location.
Notable features: Kenilworth School opened in 1920. The elements of classical design, such as classical columns and the acanthus-leaved capitals of the pilasters in the halls and auditorium were designed to compare the new school, built of local brick, with the ancient temples of learning. The building was named for the novel Kenilworth by Sir Walter Scott. Because the novel is set at Kenilworth Castle in England, the school features a modified turret on the north side.

Highland School
Address: Southwest corner of Cooper and Baseline roads, Mesa
History: This elementary school opened in 1909 and was named Highland because it sat on the highest land south of the Salt River. The school was built before the Gilbert Public Schools district was created in 1913. It was run by Mesa Public Schools. Nevertheless, when the Gilbert School District built its second high school on Guadalupe Road near Higley Road in 1993, it was named Highland High School in honor of the early elementary school.

Gilbert Elementary School
Address and city: 10 S. Gilbert Road, Gilbert.
History: Gilbert Public Schools was formed when its first elementary school opened in 1913. Students would often hitch a ride to school on a farm wagon on its way to a local creamery. Classes were held at Gilbert Elementary until 1977. The building became the Gilbert Historical Museum in 1982.
Notable features: The building was nicknamed "The Alamo" because that is what it resembles. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Gilbert High School/Gilbert Public Schools District Office
Address: 140 South Gilbert Road, Gilbert.
History: Gilbert's first high school opened in 1919. In 1987 it moved to its current location at 1101 E. Elliot Road, Gilbert. The original building is now used as a district office.

Brophy College Preparatory
Address: 4701 N. Central Ave., Phoenix
History: Mrs. William Henry Brophy and the Jesuits founded the school in 1928 to provide a Catholic, college preparatory education for male day students and boarding students. The original campus included three original buildings: Brophy Hall, Romley Hall and the historic Brophy Chapel. Since its founding, the campus has expanded exponentially and has added a Sports Campus at Seventh Street and Campbell as well as a retreat facility, Manresa, in Oak Creek Canyon.
Notable features: Designed by John Rinker Kibbey and built by A.F. Wasielewski Construction Co., the structure is Spanish Colonial and reflects the architect's feel for the heritage of the Catholic Hispanic Southwest, according to the school. TOnce a desert landmark outside Phoenix city limits, the chapel signature bell tower (which has never had a bell) stands 135 feet high. The fountain in the chapel yard to the west of the chapel was restored in 2009 and is dominated by a statue of St. Francis Xavier, one of the original Jesuit companions who is the patron of Brophy.
Palo Verde Elementary School
Address: 10700 S. Palo Verde Road, Palo Verde
History: The district was established in 1896 and students attended an 18-square-foot one-room school house at 10700 S. Palo Verde Road, Palo Verde, Ariz. The school was rebuilt in 1910 and later replaced by the present day buildings.
Notable features: The bell from 1910 school bell tower, which was used in the early days of the community as a means of communication, is mounted at the front of the school as a memorial.
Alma Elementary School
Address: 143 S. Alma School Road
History: The Alma Elementary School District was established in 1855. Alma Elementary School was completed in 1896 at 143 S. Alma School Road. At some point a second building was added and grades 5 through 8 moved into the new building. In 1946, Alma joined with three other elementary districts -- Jordan, Lehi and Mesa -- to become Mesa Elementary District.
Building structure: The original Alma buildings were used until 1972. They were demolished in 1979, and the district built a distribution center on the site in 1982. In August 1978, a new Alma Elementary School opened at 1313 W. Medina. In August 2010, the school became a Franklin traditional campus. It was renamed Franklin at Alma Elementary School.

Wind River Institute to offer college program in fall
Mar 17, 2014 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff Writer
Evergreen State College in Washington is expanding its Reservation-Based Community-Determined program to reach students in Wyoming.
The program has been offered on six reservations in Washington for 20 years, and the Wind River Institute in Fort Washakie will begin offering the RBCD program in the fall.
The program is open to anyone but best fits students who have an associate degree or the number of credits equal to an associate degree.
"Evergreen runs on a quarter system, so a student needs to have 90 quarter credits or 65 semester credits to begin the program," said Lorre Hoffman of the Wind River Institute.
Students at the Wind River Institute will pay the same $8,000-a-year tuition rate as in-state students at Evergreen, she added.
"The Evergreen State College is an accredited higher education school, so students can get all financial aid, such as Pell grants or any other scholarships, to help pay for school," Hoffman said. "Evergreen will hire qualified adjunct instructors from this area based on the needs of the program."
Parts of the program make use of case studies and examine aspects of tribal government, tribal nations, building Native nations and healthy communities, ethics and other leadership education. For each quarter two credits are "community determined" which means attending students choose what they want to learn or study in the course.
Michael Zimmerman, the vice president for academic affairs at Evergreen, said the program was a "new and very exciting initiative" that was modeled to incorporate Native issues and was designed in partnership with tribal members.
"In other words, although the program provides a very rich liberal arts education, focusing on critical thinking skills and the development of communication and research capabilities, much of that is done within a context that is centered on issues of particular interest to members of Native communities," Zimmerman said.
He added that many graduates from the program have been older and have used the degree to become role models in their communities. Others became more involved in their communities and while others worked in state government or toward advanced degrees.
"A surprising percentage, perhaps the largest contingent of our graduates, have gone on to enter our masters of public administration program with an emphasis in tribal government, the only such program in the nation," Zimmerman said.

Sanyo 9000
I currently have a 5600 which has some really nice features to it. I was thinking of getting a 9000. What the differences between the two. Small or large detail, I don't care because sometimes that makes a big difference. Also, I keep reading of MP3 player controls on the outside. I haven't seen any but adjusting the volume for the side keys. Can you set of the side keys for play/pause and next track controls. Also, does the TALK key actually bring up the Redial list? If so then Finally. Please respond because I haven't go to play with a 9000 because they are so rare to find anymore.

BRITAIN's gene researchers will be able to inspect the 150 000 human gene sequences in a privately owned database in the US, but they will have to keep what they see to themselves and their closest colleagues.
The database is managed by the Institute for Genomic Research in Gaithersburg, Maryland. British researchers will have access to it thanks to a deal signed last week between the Medical Research Council and SmithKline Beecham, the British-based pharmaceuticals company, which has a large stake in the database.
SmithKline Beecham wants to develop drugs based on genetic information, and last year bought exclusive access to the database. For this it paid an estimated $125 million to Human Genome Sciences, the company in Rockville, Maryland, that set up the institute in 1992.
Genetics researchers around the world, who are used to sharing their findings openly, were dismayed when SmithKline Beecham and HGS restricted access to ...

Two hours of clanking swords, firing canons, hundreds of horses, tons of armor and pure fun for spectators. The famed 1812 Battle of Borodino has been reconstructed in the Moscow region, marking its bicentenary jubilee.
The cavalry, infantry and artillery were all identical reproductions of what's written in the chronicles about the most famous battle of Napoleon's disastrous invasion of Russia.
Napoleon attacked the Imperial Russian Army, lead by General Mikhail Kutuzov, near the village of Borodino on September 7, 200 years ago. The real battle lasted 12 hours, and left over 45,000 Russian soldiers dead and around 30,000 dead on the French side. Napoleon called it a battle of giants. "The French have proved worthy of victory and the Russians earned the right not to be defeated," the French Emperor said.
Despite the fact that the real battle began early in the morning – at roughly 5 am – the reenactment was scheduled to begin during the day, so that more people could see the show. The weather 200 years ago was very similar to this Sunday's, so viewers got a rather clear picture of how it all happened in 1812.
This weekend's event featured the key episodes of the battle.
Among hundreds of cavalrymen and thousands of infantrymen dressed in 19th-century military uniform, more of them wore the French uniform – just as it was back in 1812.
"We will win this battle today. And probably it will be the biggest victory in the history of France… I expect victory," a US actor playing the role of Napoleon I said before the first shots were fired.
"Though it is only a reenactment, we will fight in the memory of those who threw back Napoleon on the approaches to Moscow," the man who played Kutuzov told Channel 1.
With 3,000 men, 300 horses and almost 50 pieces of ordnance, this year's Borodino reenactment has already been labeled the most ambitious one ever put on.
Descendants of the heroes who fought at the Battle of Borodino attended the event. Among them were the great-grandsons of both Napoleon and General Kutuzov, as well as former French president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, whose forefathers participated in the Napoleonic Wars.
Some 100,000 spectators are reported to have come to watch the event.

About Me
I spend most of my energy running a medium-sized investment fund based in Irvine, Calif. My wife, Harina Kapoor, and I believe in recycling most of our estate back to society. The problems we wish we could solve have defied solutions for decades on end—billions of humans still do not have the fundamentals of adequate food, shelter, education, healthcare and a sustainable livelihood. So we're trying to make a meaningful dent by applying something we too rarely see elsewhere in the sprawling world of philanthropy: a laser-like focus and a business mindset. We've openly shared all the learning (and our mistakes) in running our foundation to hopefully be of some value to others who want to make a difference.

Panasonic Viera Tablet officially unveiled
Panasonic used its CES press conference to officially announce its Viera Tablet, which is due out by the end of 2011. The device is designed to work with a variety of cloud services in conjunction with the maker's Viera televisions.
The Viera tablet - which we managed to get a sneak preview of before it was officially unveiled - offers an LCD touchscreen and will come in various screen sizes from four to ten inches. Technical specs are still thin on the ground so we'll bring you more news as soon as we have it. Although we managed to fight our way through the scrum of journalists to grab a close-up snap, we weren't able to get our hands on the closely guarded prototype just yet. Stay tuned.
Keep up to date with all the latest announcements from CES

FCC Sets Deadline for Opposers of Verizon's Spectrum Grabs
Article Comments
Top message: Reinstate the Spectrum Screen FOR REAL by CellStudent
Replying to: Re: Reinstate the Spectrum Screen FOR REAL by GettingSleepy
Re: That only addresses part of the problem
GettingSleepy said:
Or how about companies are not allowed to purchase additional spectrum until they're using at least 80% of what they own.
That logic breaks down because of the way spectrum is auctioned. If you look at the AWS spectrum that VZW is trying to acquire compared to the AWS spectrum they already had, it's obvious why they weren't using it: They only had AWS spectrum assets east of the Mississippi, but in the auction, the CableCo outfit bought all the SAME spectrum rights in the Western USA.
It is basically IMPOSSILBE for VZW to deploy AWS service without having the western US spectrum, because handset makers would have to create different antennas for east-coast and west-coast customers. And if a Floridian decided to take a trip to California, he would find that his AWS band LTE that worked fine in Florida was simply non-existent on the west coast!
That's not an acceptable user scenario for any service provider!
Watching nationwide carriers to buy up localized patchworks of spectrum chunks is a problem, because it means that if you don't get it ALL (or almost all) then the only economical choice is to sit on unused spectrum for 5 years until the other owner is willing to sell!
Which is why this deal is happening (or trying to happen)...
It's a game of chicken, basically: Who decides they want to sell out first?
A spectrum screen would motivate carriers to swap spectrum so that ALL the airwaves could be used, because the only way to legally obtain more airwaves for your own compny would be to increase the pool of airwaves available for your competitors.
THAT is minor government oversight acting to ensure the free-market enterprise continues to operate. It's doing the most amount of good with the least amount of regulation, and that's a good thing.

The singer was Otis Redding, just before he broke out himself.
His eclectic ear enabled Atlantic to have Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, and Led Zeppelin on the same bill.
Otis, who tells me he was called "Saladin" on the inside, has taken an almost tragically circuitous route in getting here.

nice writeup in the API Evangelist blog the other day. (If you don't follow Kin's writing, you should. He's on top of his game when it comes to API technologies and API-driven business models.) The post talks about everyone in API-driven companies being a developer evangelist.
That's certainly true for us given Iron.io's business. Our reason for being is to provide developers with dead simple access to hosted processing, messaging, caching, and scheduling services via APIs and client libraries.
We're taking a page from Twilio, 10gen, SendGrid, and others who focus on community development and support. A key part of this for us is to have our engineers connect with customers via our public HipChat channel. This tool has been invaluable for letting us know what issues developers are running into. But what's surprising is not just the knowledge we gain about sticking points, problems with the docs (doh!) or features users want, but the kind words and praise we hear. It does hurt to get called out on things (it's not easy running a service that executes other people's code) but more often than not the conversations lead to the amazing things people are doing with our services. This more than makes up for the pain – plus it makes for great motivation to fix, add, and make things even better.
On this note, we've recently brought on developer experience engineer in the form of Paddy Foran. He's been working with us as an engineering intern for several months and has been a prime force behind our Dev Center. Look for more great things to come with the dev center, GitHub examples, and getting started (heck, he's even put it in writing). This addition doesn't mean others on the team are spared from connecting with customers. In fact, talking with customers has become such a benefit that it'd likely be hard to take it away from anyone on the team.

Written on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 by Chris Gadsden
One of the most important factors in raising a good, moral child is teaching them to be responsible individuals. My father, a Citadel graduate and Army man, instilled that in my brothers and me. Though certainly a flawed man, I try to do what is right and, in virtually all situations short of performing a tracheotomy with a butter knife and a ballpoint pen, I know what I SHOULD do. That is why, today and every day, I am so saddened by the depths that we as Americans are sinking. We all know that the easy path is rarely the right one yet, in most situations, we ignore our values and take the route of least resistance. When is anyone going to take responsibility for their own actions?
Pop quiz! Who can tell me who Stella Liebeck is? Anyone?
The first time I really remember being appalled by the gold-digger mentality growing in America (though it certainly was there far earlier) was with 1992's infamous McDonald's Coffee Spill. Essentially, an old woman, Stella Liebeck, was in a car driven by her grandson when she spilled coffee in her lap. Due to the burns suffered, she sued McDonald's for serving her hot coffee. Regardless of which side you fall on the specifics of the case, I was appalled that someone would file suit for burning herself with coffee they purchased. It is not as if Liebeck ordered a snow cone and instead received molten lava. Where was her responsibility? Seemingly it was nonexistent for, while we do not know exact amounts since the settlement was sealed, she received a number in the six-figure range.
I remember a Calvin & Hobbes strip (hands-down best, most genius strip in history, by the way) I read as a teenager where Calvin, the mischievous 5-year old boy, was talking with his tiger/imaginary friend Hobbes about their lack of money. Calvin, to close out the strip, asks with an evil grin "Who do we know that we can sue?" Were it only a joke….
In the 20 years since, things have only gotten worse. We went through the "sue the tobacco company" fervor in the 1990s. Though any idiot knows they are committing a slow suicide if they smoke and have known it for decades (even back in the good old days when Mike Wallace was smoking on his 60 Minutes predecessor, everyone knew), the dead, dying and relatives of said walking-wounded lined up for a payday. As a smoker for a short period of my life many years ago, I include myself in the line of imbeciles that are responsible for my eventual lung cancer if I get it. I knew I was being stupid when I party smoked in college and would not dream of trying to play ignorant or squeeze money from the companies that sold me the coffin nails. It is my fault and, if you smoke, it is going to be your fault when you get cancer and die. It is certainly your right to smoke but, when it bites you on the backside, man up and take the blame.
The same goes for, and this will hit a lot of Americans in the gut, the overweight. I realize that a VERY FEW individuals have health problems that cause obesity but most do not. A large (no pun intended) portion of rotund America simply eat crap, eat too much of it, and do not exercise. End of story. The very idea that people are now suing everyone from fast food chains, to food makers, to Betty Crocker herself (has that actually happened yet?) for MAKING them fat is criminal. Hey, from one (once) fatty to another, we both know it is not a glandular condition, genetics or KFC, don't we? I was once 285 pounds and a lard-butt. My pizza and Wendy's Triple Bacon Cheeseburger diet knocked me for a loop in my mid-20s once my youthful metabolism slowed. I looked like John Candy at my zenith (mmmmmmmm, candy!). I, however, never blamed anyone but myself. I stopped the fast food and the partying, and started working out and eating right. Within one year, I dropped 90+ pounds. Nearly 20 years later, I am still at 180 and have run a few half and full marathons, Marine Corps mud runs and other races, and I work-out regularly at the Y. My point in saying this is to reiterate that we are all responsible for our decisions, even the embarrassing ones. As Americans, we have the freedom to gorge ourselves; just don't blame the companies for giving us what we want. We do not need Mrs. obama lecturing our children and troops about healthy eating as she is this week. (The hypocrisy of a woman that eats junk food in public and looks like ex-N.Y. Giants lineman Michael Strahan in a dress lecturing anyone on healthy eating is simply insulting.) We know what we SHOULD be doing -eating well – but instead more than half of us eat junk and look like it.
Two additional points on this subject that we all know but few will admit:
Here is another elephant (apologizes to the obese) in the room that we ignore. We have elderly that come with pitchforks in hand if someone even considers messing with Social Security benefits yet they often take little responsibility for their own retirement. They feel it is the government's job, not theirs. The whole idea was a Progressive trick to get people addicted to government nearly 100 years ago and it worked. Heck, at least initially it was just for people that lived an extraordinarily long life, but now people are on it for decades. Were it at least adjusted for the longer lifespan we now have, SSI should not kick in until someone turns 77 at the earliest. Why not change it to 80 years old before benefits start? Better yet, where is the responsibility one has to take care of themselves or their elderly family members? Though this may be hard to read, we all know that I am right. Government, if at all, should be there for the elderly as a last resort, not as a first responder.
Within the last week, we have had:
Again and again, we as Americans (even Native Americans) are succumbing to the victim mentality rather than owning our mistakes and then making our lives better. Our government, when not running from the tasks they should be performing, are turning us into a nanny state that handles all of the things we should be doing for ourselves. How did we get so broken? I could go on and on but the fact remains, we are and should be responsible for our actions. McDonald's, the government, evil corporations, your genes, whatever you want to invent; it does not fly. If you smoke, stop. If you are fat, push away from the table and go for a walk. If you are poor, work hard and do whatever you have to legally to make your life better. If you are a drunk, seek help and stop drinking. Whatever your individual choices may be, you know what your choices SHOULD be. Take the hard path instead of the easy. If you do not, don't whine to everyone else and look for an easy payday.
About the Author: As the sixth-great grandson of American patriot and Revolutionary War hero Christopher Gadsden, I feel it is my duty to speak fondly of America's greatness and stand ready to defend her against all adversaries. Sadly, I must rail against the vileness and evil of the leftists, progressives, Marxist, socialists and idiots in general now threatening to destroy our great nation. If you support this aim, please spread the word.

Jeff's advise is perfect!
Follow it.
He has explained details I forgot from a year ago while doing the same route.
While doing Baja I decided to keep going (unplanned) and invited Friends to fly and meet me in Costa Rica in 11 days and later continued to Yaviza Panama.
So most of CA was done in a rush but still through secondary roads, with border crossings taking a big chunk of time.
Now as Jeff described, you will have to export and import your bike at all borders, and as a rule (except for a few borders), this is best done on weekdays during office hours because some of the 2 or 5 officers ,agents or banks you need to talk or get signatures, stamps or pay may be off.
If it wasn't for your bike or car you can go through 24/7.
Read Jeff's advice, print it
and keep it in the map drawer to read again before you leave to CA, it is SPOT ON!!
Being fluent in spanish and knowing most coloquialisms and gestures I hepled a few traveling gringos at the borders who would have done things a lot faster (and often cheaper) if they had some basic Spanish.
Again, Jeff is right... learn some Spanish.
Thanks to Jeff for taking the time to write all this for the rest of us!!!

It is amazing how the things you come to rely on are always well hidden without any instruction on how to access them. This is particularly true of the Windows Backup Utility in Windows XP Home. I have always found it rather nonsensical to have the Backup Utility automatically installed in Windows XP Professional, yet leave the utility on the CD in XP Home. However, help is at hand!
If you don't have a Windows XP CD you can download a copy of NTBackup.msi from the following link:
Alternatively try your PC manufacturer's website. Many PC Manufacturer's have download copies of the NTBackup file on their support websites.
1/ Insert your XP CD into your CD-ROM.
2/ Hold the Shift key down during the initial CD spin up to prevent the the CD's Auto Run application from running. All you want to do is Browse the CD, not run setup.
3/ Open Windows Explorer and click on plus sign next to your CD-ROM drive letter.
4/ The directory folders on your CD should now become visible.
5/ First Look for a folder called VALUEADD.
6/ Click on the VALUEADD folder to open it.
7/ Within this folder you should see another folder called MSFT.
8/ Click on the MSFT folder to open it.
9/ When the folder opens you should see a file called NTBACKUP.
10/ Click the NTBACKUP file to setup the backup utility.
11/ After the backup utility has been installed you can launch it by clicking on Start button>AllPrograms>Accessories>SystemTools>Backup.

Helpful Tips for That Last Family Road Trip Before Labor Day
Before the back-to-school rush, many families will be making the most of one last summer vacation. In fact, the overall national average of a gallon of gas has dropped 13 cents in the past week, and according to a report from Edmunds.com, about 40 percent of Americans plan to take one last leisure trip before Labor Day, a holiday weekend when some analysts believe gas prices will be at their lowest nationwide.
Whether it's a road trip across the state, a trip to drop off a student at college, a picnic in the park, or vacation to a tropical island, it's important to be prepared for the last outing of the summer.
AskPatty has been receiving emails all sumer long about foods and products that would be perfect to take along in the car for family road trips. (I'm not kidding, I get e-newsletters several times a week from Skymall.com!) Whether you're looking for something to feed the kids on a lunch break or something to help keep them occupied and comfortable along the way, we've learned about it this summer, and are sharing it with you here. We've even got a few items for traveling pets as well.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 9/4/12
A dream fight in the UFC that has been years in the making could soon be coming to fruition, and we now know where it is planning to be held. Appearing Tuesday on Fuel TV's "UFC Tonight," UFC President Dana White said that if UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre were to defeat Carlos Condit in November at UFC 154, his next opponent could very well be UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Ariel Helwani asked White just how close we are to seeing this fight. "I think we are pretty close," White said. "If George St-Pierre beats Condit, that could be the next fight." Rumors began swirling two weeks ago that the UFC could be targeting Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas to hold a major UFC card in early 2013, and White all but confirmed the rumors on Tuesday. "If that fight happens it will probably happen at Dallas," White said. White spoke of the venue as Texas Stadium, which was the old home of the Dallas Cowboys and imploded in 2010. White said the two would probably...

Pueblo, CO (PRWEB) October 17, 2013
Cañon National Bank has reduced its energy costs by $509 per month as a result of energy-efficient interior and exterior fluorescent and LED lighting upgrades at four of its branches in Cañon City and Pueblo West, CO. The lighting upgrades, completed by SmartWatt Energy via the Black Hills Energy Small & Medium Business Direct Install Program, have resulted in a Black Hills Energy incentive of $9,905.
The Black Hills Energy Small & Medium Business Direct Install Program provides an incentive of up to 60 percent to help businesses with an average demand use of 350 kW or less per month conduct energy-efficiency upgrades. SmartWatt, the administrator and implementation contractor for the program, provides a free energy evaluation, recommended energy-efficiency upgrades and interest-free financing for the businesses' remaining portion of the costs.
After completing an energy evaluation of all interior and exterior lighting systems at four of Cañon National Bank's facilities, SmartWatt engineered a solution to replace the existing lighting systems with energy-efficient fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures. In addition to substantial energy savings, the new lighting fixtures will provide a better quality and quantity of lighting, resulting in enhanced appearance and security of the banks.
About SmartWatt Energy, Inc.
SmartWatt Energy is a unique energy-efficiency firm. It provides turnkey solutions for utilities, commercial, industrial and institutional clients and also develops proprietary software that streamlines internal workflow processes and provides comprehensive program reporting.

I only have a filter for people who do not consistently beg to be belittled, ridiculed, insulted, and demeaned.
I may believe people, as a whole, should be treated fairly but I also believe those same people are idiots.
Human beings always have and most likely always will have issues with the very big (the universe), the very small (atoms, molecules, viruses, bacteria, etc.), the very fast (speed of light, most chemical reactions, etc.) and the very slow (geological processes, evolution, cosmology, etc.) .
Exactly right. Above or below a certain scale, we have to use tricks. Timelines or other devices can help us understand the scale, at least visually. But our brains aren't tuned for billions of years or nano scales and it isn't easy. I, for one, certainly appreciate it when people create explanations/charts/clarification such as this timeline.

(1966 – )
39.0 x 29.0 cm sheet
Constance Robinja is one of the most respected artists working with Yarrenyty Arltere Artists. This art centre is based in the Larrapinta Valley town camp on the outskirts of Mparntwe. Most of the artists have strong Western Arrernte connections and this heritage in addition to contemporary experiences informs their work. The art centre has a transformative effect on the lives of the artists and their community and it plays a major role in the cultural heritage of this country.
Robinja works with both soft sculptural forms and printmaking. In 'Big and Strong' 2012 Robinja offers an awkward representation of the human form, heavily rendered, with elongated arms that appear anything but agile. Dominating the frame the figure is reminiscent of a monolith dominating the landscape, creating an interesting association with figures of the Altyerr who created and shaped country and remain immersed in the landscape as a constant presence to remind people of their actions.

In support of the Inspiring Home Moments campaign Homes.com reached out to bloggers and asked them to share their home moments. These are Carrie's home moments from Making Lemonade.
I'm a strong believer that your home should reflect the current season of your life. Ceramic stools and glass topped coffee tables are beautiful, but in the hands of my kids they'd quickly become mosaic tiles. So we embrace this season of running, jumping, thumping, and playing because it all leads to growing. Each corner of our home has been adapted to keep little hands busy and life as streamlined as possible in order to juggle the needs of two active preschoolers. Even our front door says 'hey, we don't take ourselves too seriously over here.'
First and foremost, we've worked hard to make our home a place to create. Why have a plain wall when it can become a giant chalkboard, perfect for entertaining the troops while I cook dinner?
Having art materials neatly organized within easy reach means less work for me, and more creating for my kids. Oh the things that have been created from the goodies on the art cart!
A table just for kids means space to draw, paint, glue, and read. This table is also the perfect height for my budding chefs, we do a lot of {messy} recipe making over here.
In the spirit of 'living in the season', even our neat & tidy reading nook in the sunroom can quickly become a fort for my daring adventurers. Child friendly furniture and unfussy throw pillows facilitate the process. Scotch-guarded couches? A MUST.
Bedrooms are a place to sleep, but also to dream. Colorful touches add to the playfulness of spaces created just for the unique personalities that reside there.
A road made from chalkboard paint doesn't hinder the playfulness, either. No traffic jams here, just a toddler boys' dream.
It's not just our home where we create. When the sunshine is streaming, we'll head outdoors to the deck for some painting or fairy garden planting.
On any given day, you might find a kid-crafted lantern or a string of stars adorning our chandelier. Why? Well… why not? 😉
Yes, the ceramic garden stools and glass topped anything will have to wait. For now, we're embracing the season and creating and playing with our whole hearts– inside, outside, and sometimes even upside down.
Share your home moments with Homes.com. Join the conversation on social media channels using #HomeMoments and be sure to follow Homes.com on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.

Real Salt Lake-AZ U-15/16 beats Seattle Sounders U-15/16 3-1 to remain perfect at home
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – Southwest Division leaders Real Salt Lake-AZ bested Northwest Division leaders Seattle Sounders, 3-1, in a United States Soccer Development Academy U-15/16 West Conference showdown on Saturday afternoon at the Grande Sports World.
Justen Glad, Josh Doughty and Terrell Lowe notched the goals for Real Salt Lake-AZ U-15/16, who have yet to drop any points at home this season through eight matches.
Real Salt Lake U-15/16, looking to shake off a rare loss in their most recent USSDA league match in the previous weekend's action, opened their goal tally nine minutes into the match on a Seattle defensive blunder. Tate Schmitt whipped in a free kick from the left-wing that the Seattle goalkeeper couldn't corral in the air. The ball slipped through his fingers and dropped to an unmarked Justen Glad on the backpost, who knocked in the opening goal from close range.
The Claret-and-Cobalt doubled their lead fourteen minutes into the second half on a calmly converted penalty. Doughty attacked space and cut into the box before he was clipped from behind. He stepped up and slotted the shot into the right-side netting for his seventh goal on the season.
Lowe was brought on as a 70th-minute substitute, and he scored RSL-AZ's third and final goal three minutes later on a cross-and-header. Gavino Carranza dribbled to the touchline from the left-wing and lifted a ball to the middle of the box where an unmarked Lowe waited before he headed the ball into the net.
Immediately after the restart a Seattle player was shown a second yellow for an ill-timed tackle near midfield. The send-off didn't faze Seattle as they picked up the urgency and stormed into RSL-AZ's half in the dying minutes and scored their lone goal on a tight-angled shot from the touchline. The goal was just the second goal given up by the RSL-AZ U-15/16 team at home in eight matches.
Real Salt Lake-AZ U-15/16′s will travel Los Angeles this upcoming weekend. They face Arsenal FC U-15/16 on Saturday, March 29th, at Riverside Community College with kickoff set for 12:30 PM PST. The following day, RSL-AZ will square off against Real So Cal at Oak Park High School with kickoff set for 1:30 PM PST.

Tom Cruise is the first to admit that the past few years have been difficult for him.
"You know, with the press, there is truth and then perception," Cruise said during an interview with Barbara Walters to air on "The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008." Cruise, Tina Fey and Will Smith each sat down with Walters for the 16th edition of the special.
For a while, it seemed as though it was Tom Cruise against the world. He challenged "Today" show" anchor Matt Lauer on prescription drug use, became the world's most outspoken Scientologist, lost a studio deal and took over another studio.
And, in 2005, there was the infamous couch-jumping incident. In a moment of carefree exuberance, Cruise proclaimed his affection for then-fiancee Katie Holmes during an interview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." As he bounced up and down on Winfrey's couch, she laughed, surprised. Viewers were also taken aback, reacting with cynicism and snarkiness. The phrase "jump the couch" soon became part of America's lexicon, its meaning akin to "going off the deep end."
Cruise had known Holmes for less than a year, but he told Walters in 2005 that he "just knew" she was the one for him. "I really just knew. It was an explosion," Cruise said at the time. "And she is just magic. And I really think that all men should celebrate their women. ... They should all jump on couches for them. ... When you find that woman, you should absolutely be unabashed about it. That's how I feel about it."
In 2008, Cruise presents a far more measured version of his earlier self. "There's things that I could have handled better," the 46-year-old admitted with a laugh.
Some public relations experts have said that Cruise needed to repair his reputation in Hollywood, a town where image is everything. It remains to be seen whether his latest film will help serve that purpose.
In a departure from his usual action hero flicks, Cruise chose to appear in a Nazi movie that might be the biggest risk of his career: "Valkyrie," the true story of Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, a German officer in World War II who plotted to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
"It was inspiring," Cruise said. "A story that I didn't know about, and that I had no idea that happened. And that it was just very compelling."
But the movie hasn't been without controversy. The U.K. newspaper The Independent reported conflict between the movie's production company, United Artists, and the German army regarding a shooting location. The movie caused further controversy abroad when the filmmakers hung Nazi flags from building windows.
Despite all of this, Cruise has already earned Germany's prestigious media prize, the Bambi award for courage. "Valkyrie" comes to American theaters on Christmas day, the final release date after several postponements, and after opposition from the German government, which views von Stauffenberg as a national hero.
The von Stauffenberg family, who, like many Germans, considers Scientology to be a cult rather than a religion, was reportedly dismayed that Cruise had been selected for the role.
Cruise told Walters he was hurt by this reaction, but, he said, "You just go, OK, all right. But I'm going to go make the movie."
Cruise remained focused on the reasons he decided to participate in the project to begin with. He said the screenplay was "incredible."

Fairfield, CT (PRWEB) February 08, 2013
When the Academy Awards are broadcast on February 24th, someone could have Abraham Lincoln's actual Nomination Chair as the focal point of their Oscar party. In a unique offering, History You Can Own, a collaboration between two respected experts in rare documents and artifacts, will auction one of the most comprehensive collections of Lincolniana assembled in recent memory. The auction will go live on eBay on February 8th and bidding will begin at $1,000,000. The auction will conclude on February 17th and the Lincoln Nomination Chair is guaranteed to be delivered in time for the Oscars.
"This collection has several items of great historic and personal importance, especially the 1860 Lincoln chair and his 1858 letter opposing the Dred Scott decision," said James Cornelius, Ph.D., Curator of the Lincoln Collection at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum in Springfield, Illinois. "If the buyer is philanthropically motivated, we hope that he or she will eventually consider the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library as a place for these treasures to rest."
The winning bidder will also be helping the U.S.-based international charity Free the Slaves, which will receive 10% of the final sale price. The organization, which frees victims of modern-day slavery around the world, was selected to celebrate Lincoln's most important achievement—the abolition of slavery in the United States. "We are honored that Free the Slaves has been chosen to receive a portion of the proceeds from the auction," said the group's co-founder, Dr. Kevin Bales. "Lincoln's actions to free slaves are among the greatest achievements in the history of the abolition movement. Our group will use the contribution to help finish what Lincoln started -- creating a world forever free from slavery."
"We're offering a unique opportunity for collectors with a passion for history to own numerous Lincoln documents and artifacts. This rich offering reflects the span of Lincoln's adult life from prairie lawyer, to the Presidency, to immortality in the American pantheon," said Seth Kaller, a leading expert in rare historic documents. "Beginning with the chair in which Lincoln was sitting when he received the telegram that he had won the 1860 Republican Presidential nomination, the collection contains more than 50 items, including 12 documents handwritten and/or signed by Lincoln, and others by Frederick Douglass, William T. Sherman, and Ulysses S. Grant, along with rare books, artifacts, images, and imprints."
Seth Kaller, owner of Seth Kaller Inc., and fellow rare document expert John Reznikoff, owner of University Archives, partnered to start History You Can Own, along with Stephen Rockwell Desloge, a relative of Norman Rockwell and owner of Rockwell Art & Framing, which houses the History You Can Own gallery in Westport Connecticut. Reznikoff and Kaller recently sold a portion of Lincoln's final State of the Union Address, and last year Kaller handled the sale at auction of a rare Lincoln-signed copy of the Emancipation Proclamation that sold for $2.1 million.
In addition to the Nomination Chair other items in the collection to be auctioned include:
Highlights from the collection, including the Nomination Chair, will be on display at the affiliated C. Parker Gallery in Greenwich, Connecticut during the auction. Special showings are also available on request and the gallery will hold an open house on February 12th, Lincoln's Birthday.
History You Can Own offers a rare glimpse into the past and a unique opportunity for anyone to own an authentic piece of Americana. The venture is a partnership between document experts Seth Kaller of Seth Kaller, Inc. in White Plains, New York, and John Reznikoff of University Archives in Westport, Connecticut, along with Stephen Rockwell Desloge, owner of the six Rockwell Galleries in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Inventory changes on a regular basis with prices from $100 to over $1,000,000 and includes a wide range of historical material from presidents to pop stars. Items for sale can be viewed at Rockwell Art & Framing's Westport gallery located at 236 Post Road East (203-227-1800) as well as at The C. Parker Gallery at 17 East Putnam Road in Greenwich, Connecticut (203-253-0934) or online at http://www.historyyoucanown.com, http://www.sethkaller.com and http://www.universityarchives.com.
Free the Slaves
There are 27 million people in slavery today. They are forced to work without pay, under threat of violence, and they are unable to walk away. They can be found in brothels, factories, mines, farm fields, restaurants, construction sites and private homes. Many slaves have been tricked by traffickers who lure vulnerable people with false promises of good jobs or education. Some slaves are marched to work at gunpoint. Others are trapped by phony debts. Slavery is illegal everywhere, but it happens nearly everywhere. Free the Slaves is dedicated to ending slavery world-wide. They call on businesses to clean up their supply chains and for consumers to demand slavery-free products. They believe governments and international institutions must toughen enforcement and fund anti-slavery work worldwide, and that activists and advocates must educate the vulnerable about their rights and empower those in slavery to take a stand for freedom. More information can be found at http://www.freetheslaves.net.

Our historic bespoke shoe collection Foster & Son/ Henry Maxwell
Side-lace wholecuts
This is a beautiful pair of side lace, three-tie wholecuts. We think they were made in the early 1920's and they certainly make a particularly raffish statement, with emphasis on the unconventional and attractive rather than the disreputable, of course.
The welt is stitched at 13 spi, the sole is particularly beautiful and, even though these shoes are showing signs of their age, the patina is incredible.

The Jose Bautista Home Run Song
By Ian Hunter
First there was the audio and visual tribute to Jose Bautista's 48 record-breaking bombs, and now comes the video portion of the program.
Here's "Boom Boom Bautista " AKA The Jose Bautista Home Run Song courtesy of Kathy Anderson - the brainchild behind other Blue Jays centric hits "The Doc Halladay Song" and "The Blue Jays Rap".
The hits just keep on coming from KJ since last season, and this latest video definitely receives high marks from the Bautista Appreciation Society.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
TRAITS (member-attributed "LIKES")
Amp and Spica are two kids with not a lot to do on a slow Saturday afternoon, so they turn to what every kid would turn to in a time of need. The TV! They're about to falter off into naptime, when their television suddenly springs to life and out pops a pink bunny, who introduces himself as Yupa. He explains that he needs their help to save his world. But you don't do battle in this crazy place with fists or guns, you flitz! Flitzing is apparently the word for dancing in the bizarre land of television. Now, either Amp or Spica must hop to it and fritz their fannies off to save the day!
Cool Cool Toon is the "Interactive Rhythm Comic" from SNK and marks the final Dreamcast from that publisher. You may select either Amp or Spica, and the actual game itself takes you through various Flitzes, which are dance battles against wacky rivals. The flitzes are broken up into three sections, the first two being sort of trial runs. The final flitz sees both the music's ampage and the rival's difficulty kicked up.
Most dance games employ some sort of direction-sequence patterns to press on the pad, but in Cool Cool Toon you use the analog stick. You have a circle in the middle of the screen that represents the playfield. On the outside of the circle, smaller circles form and slowly get smaller. You must move a cursor to the center of these circles and press your button when they become small enough to fit inside the cursor's field. Also, parts pop up where you must run the analog stick along a trail of blue dots the wind slowly or quickly around the circle's outside edge. The better you do with this, the better your character dances on-screen. While it might sound simple enough, the circles begin to come quickly, causing a flurry of action and hopefully great flitzing.
The characters that you do battle with run the gamut of the weird, with a meek, nerdy looking man who suddenly changes into a werewolf, a time bomb that you must sooth with your flitzing, and a tall, thin, wildly-costumed person who looks like something out of a clown's nightmare. Amp and Spica both have five stages, and will meet different rivals on their journey For every new rival, there's a new song, and there's a definite Japanese pop bent to the all of the cool, cool tunes. ~ Jon Thompson, All Game Guide
