The things that would standout about me... very easy-going, humble, good manners, and open-minded. I'm usually very quiet and reserved around people that I don't know very well, but can warm up pretty easily and quickly. I'm not very hard to please, and I'm happy to dine, visit or stroll at both familiar and new places. I really like my morning bike rides with friends, and evening walks. I also enjoy relaxing at home and watching some tv, reading, and listening to music. I'm looking to meet someone fun to hang out with, and hopefully the friendship will lead to much more. I definitely want to have a family someday. I hope my match is also easy-going, and has a lot of integrity.

At Kele, Ronnie Randall helped transform the building automation industry
This is the second in a four-part series on the 2012 Society of Entrepreneurs inductees, who will be honored during a black-tie gala April 14.
By his own admission, Ronnie Randall has always been a nuts-and-bolts kind of guy.
From dismantling his bicycle when he was all of 8 years old -- it took him two days to reassemble it properly, but he returned it to working order -- to studying mechanical engineering at then-Memphis State University, Randall has long been fascinated by the laws of physics. And he capitalized on that love of science during a successful career as the former president and CEO of Kele. His work led him to embrace computer technology and revolutionize the building automation industry.
"We were on the leading edge of an old industry with new technology," Randall said. "We took that technology and applied it to temperature control for buildings, which at the time wasn't being done on a large scale. Our timing couldn't have been better."
For his innovations and contributions to the building automation control industry, Randall will be honored this spring at the 20th annual Society of Entrepreneurs celebration held at the Holiday Inn at the University of Memphis, 3700 Central.
Randall came on board at Kele in 1985 at the insistence of friend and mentor Roger Johnson, who had founded the company a couple years earlier. Quickly making a mark at the business, Randall made sales, dealt with vendors and helped boost revenues on his way to becoming president in 1987.
"The key to being a successful entrepreneur is that you have to be willing to do it all, and if that means waiting on customers and sweeping the floors in addition to running the business, then you wait on customers and sweep the floors," Randall said. "You have to be willing and able to do it all."
Randall did it all and led the company through a series of expansion projects and hiring campaigns. By the time the company was sold in 2004, it had grown to more than 200 employees and expanded from a 900-square-foot operation to a facility covering 120,000 square feet.
Kele CEO and president Tim Vargo, who has known Randall for two decades, said his predecessor's attention to detail positioned it well for continued growth.
"Ronnie's commitment to understanding customers' needs and being able to deliver for them made this company revered and allowed it to grow," Vargo said. "From a venture that started in a spare room to becoming an operation that ships out from Memphis to every country in the world, well, that's a significant accomplishment and it's because of strong leaders like Ronnie and Roger Johnson that it turned out this way."
Working closely with Johnson, Randall got in on the ground floor of the building automation industry and transformed their company from a temperature controls contractor to a single-source supplier that provided customized input/output service and design.
Fast outpacing the $1.2 million in annual revenues the company generated in 1985, by the time the company was sold in 2004 it was a global enterprise producing nearly $70 million in annual revenues. That growth continues today, with annual gross revenues topping $100 million. The company maintains its Memphis headquarters and continues to increase its international client base.
"I'm proud of him and for him. Ronnie has been a mainstay of our community for years," said Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald. "From the small company Kele was when he joined to the incredible growth it experienced under his leadership, Ronnie has been committed to corporate and community citizenship. He's been good to us."
And even though Randall has retired from the company, he hasn't retreated from the community. He mentors other business professionals, volunteers for a number of civic and nonprofit organizations and is a consultant for Kele.
"It's been fun and exciting and now I'm enjoying a different kind of career," Randall said. "I enjoy helping people and watching them grow. Knowing that I can make a difference is a great reward."

Your Coworkers Hate You When You're Sick
Let's be honest: if you're sick, you should stay home... but you won't. According to a recent survey, your co-workers really, really want you to stay home.
Let's be honest: if you're sick, you should stay home... but you won't. According to a recent survey, your co-workers really, really want you to stay home.
The flu is here. Ugh! My littlest son was sick last week, my oldest and I are sick this week. The radio station has been one big flu virus all month so it's time to read up on ways to prevent sickness. According to health.com there are some surprising ways to prevent the flu or a cold.
You know what? Being sick sucks! Whether you have a cold or cancer - it is never fun. So this may seem like a crazy question...but would you let the government infect you with the flu for $3,000?
Flu season is here, and even though it seems to have been pretty tame so far if you are experiencing flu symptoms you might be able to participate in a free flu study in Twin falls at Asthma and Allergy of Idaho.
As I write this, the front office sounds like the Tuberculosis Wing at the hospital. Everyone has returned from holiday break coughing, hacking, sneezing, and generally sounding gross. But why did everyone get sick? Does the cold make you sick?
Everybody seems to be sick this time of year. I've noticed that some people are become extremely sick which is different from the usual cold we see this time of year. My family and some co-workers have been sick for the past week and I didn't think it was anything but a flu/cold until I received a note from my sons school. The note informed parents that strep throat is in some of the schools class rooms and if your child has a fever and a rash please keep your child at home. I am not sure if my sons school is the only school facing this issue or if all Twin Falls schools are seeing children with strep throat. Did your child receive a note regarding strep throat?
I like chobani yogurt. It tastes good, is all natural and the plant is in our backyard. Unbforunatly for Chobani, two months ago rumors surfaced about moldy yogurt cups from the Twin Falls plant. People continue to report illnesses to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
According to The Times-news, reports of illness have tainted Chobani Yogurt and have more than doubled over the past two weeks. The FDA received nearly 300 unconfirmed reports of illness since Sept. 10, when the initial report was at 89, said spokeswoman Shelly Burgess.
Summer colds are terrible. There is nothing like having a fever when it's 95 degrees outside. All complaining aside. We all get colds and unfortunately life doesn't stop when we do. So we have to just deal with them
A lot of families are dealing with the flu this year. As soon as one child gets over this nasty virus the other child comes down with it. I have heard everything from kids missing an entire week of school to adults breaking out in rashes.
According to WPTV.com the Unites States is in the middle of one of its most severe flu seasons in years.
The government's CDC website is giving the following tips to prevent the flu:
If you went shopping last Saturday you will probably do anything to avoid the crowds this weekend. The idea of going shopping this weekend is HORRIBLE. The crowds are going to be in full force and it's going to get ugly. So wouldn't it be better to shop when places are WAY emptier . . . like tomorrow morning?
If you haven't heard by now, Kate Middleton is expecting. Overall, I like Kate Middleton so I am excited for her. As a women I feel for her because she just completed her first trimester. All women know that you can be very sick in the first trimester.

Are short guys screwed in the dating world? :(
I just saw this question , and honestly I am a little bit dissapointed, because no matter how hard I could try to get a girl to like me, or to get... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
You don't have to be 6' tall to be attractive. Some girls might PREFER a taller guy, just like some guys would PREFER a girl with the perfect hourglass figure, but in reality not many people are actually born that way. And just as there are many guys out there who wouldn't mind, or even maybe prefer a girl who doesn't have the perfect hourglass figure, there are LOTS of girls out there who don't mind shorter guys, or even find them more attractive.
For the linked question, I put down the buff bod because for me personally, I like a guy who is the same height as me, but stronger. I think it's adorable if he's right on my eye-level...but buff so he's still bigger than me and can lift me and stuff. So everyone has their own preferences, don't let it get you down. Just because it might be some girls' PREFERENCE, doesn't mean that you're unattractive if you're not tall, ESPECIALLY if you're buff.
ALL of that being said, being VERY short (if you're with a REALLY tall girl) can become a physical impracticality (from personal experience...if one person's torso is a lot longer than the others' it can make uhmm certain activities awkward), meaning that you probably wouldn't want to date a very tall girl. But that's only an issue if you're like under 5' and trying to go out with a girl over 6'. Anddd the same impracticality exists if the height difference is the other way around with the guy being a LOT taller than the girl.
So hmm yeah I hope I was helpful, or at least made you feel a little better?
-Holly :)
What Girls Said 9
How tall are you? I've liked shorter guys...
does it really matter? I am not 6'0 tall.
well if you don't wanna share your height, then why bother asking this question in the first place? Anyway, I've liked a guy who was like 5'3 or 5'4, I'm 5'7 but the only reason for his height is because he was Asian and I love Asian boys so for him it didn't matter,i was focused on his pretty face...
What Guys Said 5
Hey man the girls here might say tall, but that's not how attraction works
Confidence, charm and charisma can do A LOT to make you as attractive or more attractive than a taller guy
Forget about height, hit the gym, don't take sh*t from anybody and be your own man, that will be much more attractive than a couple inches of height
Have an opinion?

DC Comics and the September relaunch of 52 new #1 comics has been all over the news these last couple weeks. We've seen the images of heroes getting updates and new looks to their costume. We know what creative team will be working on the books and have a tiny idea what the first issues will be about.
What we don't know a lot about is the villains.
Some heroes are only getting a costume change while retaining their current history. Other characters sound as if they are getting a completely new origin. Jim Lee has been busy redesigning the costumes of many iconic heroes but we've only seen a couple villains in the September books. Are we going to see the familiar villains returning as they were or will be have a bunch of new bad guys running around?== TEASER ==
A safe assumption is most of the existing villains will return. It wouldn't make sense to throw away existing villains and their backstories with the heroes. There's also the years of history these villains already have. DC has made it clear that this isn't a reboot. From some of the solicits for issue #1, we know existing events will carry over. But if some heroes are getting new looks or tweaks, why shouldn't the villains get them as well?
A couple of the villains that we've seen so far are Deathstroke and Harley Quinn. Deathstroke doesn't look too different than what we're used to. His costume appears to have some changes but nothing as dramatic as Harley Quinn. She will have a look slightly closer to her Arkham Asylum/Arkham City video game look. Whatever the reason for this look, we deserve an explanation. Her costume doesn't seem to be too practical, especially if she's going on crazy missions as part of the Suicide Squad.
Just as the heroes have iconic looks, so do the villains. It would be unfortunate for some of those classic looks to be severely altered but we would all agree there are a few that could be improved with a Jim Lee makeover. It only makes sense that the villains should get updates as well. Granted, the updates that are being done are in order to make the heroes fresh and exciting for new readers. Villains are a selling point for comics but won't be the main reason someone buys an issue.
All of the focus has been on the heroes. They are the stars of the books. There is a chance that all the energy in updating has been placed solely on the heroes/stars of the comics. DC has to have given the villains consideration as well. If this is the moment to make some changes or tweaks, they better take advantage of it and make any adjustments to the villains they see deserving or in need on them.
Besides a possible new costume, should we see changes in the villains actual histories? If you look at the solicits for Supergirl #1 or Superboy #1, changes have been made. Change is good sometimes but there will be that sense of dread in things going horribly wrong. We won't know what might happen to our favorite villains until we see them in September. I am just as fearful as the next DC fan but I will hope for the best. This isn't a decision made at the last minute. Everything has been considered. This will be our chance to see some of our favorite characters again for the first time. I am looking forward to September and can't wait to see what changes the villains will go through.

Why do funders choose to invest in this way? Because they like the product or idea that is pitched to them and want to support a business they believe in? Perhaps too because they think money can be made out of it. But potential equity investors should remember that funding of this type is essentially a lottery.
Finding an investor is a big decision. Think of it like buying a car - Every model is going to get you from one place to the other, but they're not all made the same. The more money, the more gadgets (experience/contacts) but do you just need a run around to give your company that quick push from A to B?
Einstein said "Compounding is the 8th wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it .... he who doesn't .... pays it". If you have been in trouble with a credit card then you would know what I mean. Investors, like Warren Buffet, and lesser-known, but hugely wealthy traders, like John W. Henry, have all learned to make compounding work for them with jaw-dropping results.
What if you could become part of a community where this buzz for success was consistently, ringing through your ears and mind in every situation of doubt. I have almost 100% certainty that with every day that passes you will become one step closer to reaching whatever it is that is driving you to become not just great but outstanding.

CORINTH, Miss. (AP) - Three people who authorities say planned to open a florist shop with items stolen from a local cemeteries have been arrested by Alcorn County deputies.
Sheriff's department Investigator Reggie Anderson tells the Daily Corinthian that the three were arrested after a tip from the public. Each was charged this past week with destroying public property. The three are being held pending an initial court appearance.
Those arrested were 51-year-old Kevin Eugene Gunn, 35-year-old Angela Renee Gunn and 57-year-old Theresa Gail Robertson, all of Corinth.
Anderson says most of the items - including wreaths, bows, ceramic angels along with wrought iron crosses - were found at the florist business the three were preparing to open.
He says items were taken from cemeteries in the Corinth, Farmington and Rienzi areas.

SAS iPhone BI
SAS iPhone App Architecture
In this example, the iPhone application on the iPhone communicates through standard TCP/IP protocol to a web server. The web server then communicates to an application server which is actually a SAS session processing SAS programs and data. The output resulting from the SAS program is then delivered back to the iPhone in a similar way a web browser would access a web page the serer. The distinction however is that the iPhone application is not a web browser and the SAS session running on the server is more dynamic compare to a static page. The SAS data and macro program it executes may be simple and standard but facilitating the communication takes a little more effort. The request from the iPhone application and the delivery of information from the server is handled by BI Flash. This makes the experience more dynamic and delivers the full power of SAS on the server. The following steps are taken in order to facilitate the access of SAS data from an iPhone App.
Step 1 - Download iPhone Application
Step 2 - BI Flash Application Server
More details on this step will be explained in the "Application Server" section but an administrator would execute the BI Flash server. This server functions as a listener waiting for a request from the iPhone. Upon receipt, it would process the request similar to how you would submit SAS programs from display manager. The server would generate a SAS log and output results in XML which is then sent back to the iPhone to be viewed.
Step 3 - Connect iPhone to Application Server
Host Name - This the name of the server or an IP address of the SAS server.
User Name - A valid user name that has been defined on the server needed during authentication
Password - A user defined password to secure access
Step 4 - Run Application
There may be other configuration options which will set the default behavior of the application but the parameters above show the minimum requirement in order to connect to a SAS server.
The final step taken by the user to access SAS data is to execute the SAS macros from the iPhone. This request is initiated from the iPhone app and sent directly to the server with user selected options. The results are then returned to the iPhone displaying the most updated information on the server.
The system architecture in this example is rather simple compared to other systems that require multiple layers of middleware. This is similar to the SAS/IntrNet where users are on a web browser accessing SAS data and programs on the server through the broker and SAS application server. The difference however is that the client is not a browser, but rather a dynamic iPhone application.
Searching through the iPhone App Store, I could not locate the BI Flash application that Sy references. Regardless, the architecture that Sy describes is very similar to that used by WebFOCUS which I will document in the near future.

Accidental iPhone BI
I never intended to buy an iPhone. Instead, I planned to replace my Treo with a brand new Palm Pre from the same carrier. Unfortunately for Sprint and Palm, the teenagers working at the strip-mall store lost my order. After weeks of strange phone calls with kids who could never find my order nor know when truck shipments would arrive ("Dude, if I could predict the future, I would be rich and not work for Sprint!"), I simply went to the Apple Store and came out with an amazing iPhone.
While waiting in the red velvet line (this was the weekend of the 3Gs release), I was introduced to the Apple Fan subculture. When not tapping away at the touch screen, iPhone users advocated their favorite downloaded apps with cohorts. Apple employees were professionals, passionate about their work.
Literally within seconds, the iPhone was accessing my personal and corporate e-mail accounts and calendars. I could easily connect to WiFi or the AT&T 3G network to browse websites with the Safari browser. Even secure sites were available through a VPN connection.
I even paid the $2.99 per month fee to listen to Sirius XM satellite music on the iPhone. (I also got a sick feeling about having just paid $150 for an MP3 player and $399 for a Sony Book Reader.) Everything I needed to be productive was now at my fingertips; I stopped waiting for the Windows bootup on my PC except for things that required heavy-duty typing.
So far, two individuals have walked away from my personal iPhone demos to go directly to the Apple Store to buy their own. Yes, the same day. Immediately. Others have changed their Christmas, birthday, and other gift-buying/gift-getting plans. One of my straight-laced employees responded to my iPhone enchantment with, "Sorry, I want my phone to be a phone. That's all it needs to do."
So I added some real sizzle.
On my iPhone, I logged into a secure executive dashboard for a well-known restaurant. The Safari browser visually showed corporate-wide key performance indicators for sales, speed of service, food costs, labor costs, and cash register operations. All right there in my hand, blazing fast. From the total level, I tapped down through the company hierarchy until I reached a specific store. I looked at their raw item inventory to see if they had enough cheese. I pointed out a red stoplight where the manager had failed to staff enough people on cash registers the previous day, causing a negative impact to speed of service and revenues. I tapped to get a trend of the past 20 days to see if that was just a new occurrence.
My friend responded, "Boy, I have to get one of those."
We had created this business intelligence application using the WebFOCUS software product from Information Builders. Initially, the plan was to have on-demand access through a PC web browser and push out static reports to e-mails, printers, and Blackberry devices.
Just like my personal use of the iPhone, the restaurant's corporate use of iPhone was accidental. During the development project, somebody tried to access the dashboard directly with a Blackberry but with no luck. It seems that the WebFOCUS BI Dashboard uses web techniques not supported by the Blackberry. Even if the Blackberry user could get past the initial dashboard screens, the reports did not display well on the handheld.
Not so on the iPhone. The Safari browser is top-notch and allows zoom in-and-out of the screen content. Even client-side scripts, cookie techniques, and secure LDAP integration worked on the iPhone. The iPhone even supported dashboard exports of data to PDF and Excel.
My accidental iPhone purchase has caused all sorts of changes for me and the people around me. I would write more about it, but I have to go sign for a FedEx package -- an Apple MacBook Pro just showed up.

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Lyric Meaning
In this clip Eminem explains how he got K.Dot to do this song with him — at 3:26 Kendrick himself gives his view on his verse:
More recently, while J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar were touring as supporting act for Eminem's Rapture tour, the duo got interviewed by an Austrailian radio show The Bump Show. When asked about this collabo, Kendrick goes into further depth:
I was in Detroit. He brought me out to Detroit… So, he brought me to the studio. Told me to come to the studio to do the hook.So I go in and do the hook and he's like 'I like the hook.' Boom, right? So, I'm like, 'Alright, cool. I'm finna dip.' He was like, 'Think you could do a verse?' 'I was like "Hell yeah! I could do a verse.What you talking about 'can I do a verse?' " ' The thing with Em, what's crazy to me, he kicks everybody out the studio. [Interviewer : It's just you two?] It's not even him. He gives your space. I took as him kicking everybody out to see if that's really you writing them raps. That shit writing. When I'm the booth, and he's walking in, then all done with the verse, I mean actually rapping it. He runs out like he don't want to hear it. [J. Cole: Like he don't want to to hear it. Yo, he's a purist dawg! Rap purist. Yeah, it's like a respect.]

"A bad penny always turns up" is a platitude that packs an unexpected existential punch, at least in the sardonic world of New York playwright Mac Wellman. In Wellman's Obie Award-winning short play, the titular "Bad Penny" opens a portal to the metaphysical abyss that yawns beneath the banality of a summer's day in Central Park -- and, by extension, beneath a society shaped by clichéd thought.
Staged with an austere pitch to the intellect by Frederíque Michel at Santa Monica's City Garage, the play's obsession with poetically fractured logic is sounded in the opening meditations of a recovering mental patient named Kat (Cynthia Mance), who wonders whether even the sky above is simply "a fake image of the true image of the sky."
Having just found a penny by a nearby fountain, Kat is plagued with superstitious misgivings about bad luck coming to those who touch it: They could suffer the pharaoh's curse, be eaten by trolls or be taken by the Boatman of Bow Bridge -- a latter-day Charon ferrying lost souls across the Central Park pond, in one of Wellman's sly juxtapositions of classical mythology.
Ducking fate, Kat gives the cursed penny to Ray (Troy Dunn), a toxic waste dump worker from Montana in search of a fix for the flat tire he's hauling, Sisyphus-like, through the park. Skeptic to the end, Ray ignores Kat's warning, oblivious to the ominous Boatman gliding up behind them.
Juggling illusions of normality, acquiescence to authority, paranoid conspiracy theories and toxic cheese, Wellman's witty, abstract use of language is consistently challenging. The presence of other characters does little to bridge the sense of isolation that permeates this monologue-heavy piece. The ensemble delivery is clear and capable, though some of the outlandishly petty bickering cries out for the humorous inflections of New York accents. When the entire ensemble comes together to sing a few verses of "You're Out of the Woods" from "The Wizard of Oz," the effect is pure irony -- no one gets off the hook here.
Though originally written for a site-specific staging at Central Park's Bow Bridge, Charles Duncombe's stylish production design effectively uses projected images and lighting to ease the translation to an enclosed space.

"Bad Penny," City Garage, 1340 1/2 4th St. (alley), Santa Monica. 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 3 p.m. Sundays. Ends Sept. 7. $20. (310) 319-9939. Running time: 55 minutes. City Garage
Going back to 'Last Summer'
Even Tennessee Williams' most outré plays carry unparalleled richness of language, which makes "Suddenly Last Summer" at GTC Burbank both worthy and frustrating. Lodestone Theatre Ensemble's spare Asian American take on Williams' purple 1958 one-act honors the text without unloosing its demons.
There is much to admire, starting with Kim Miyori and Elaine Kao in the principal roles. Miyori, gimlet-eyed and apt of accent, plays Violet Venable, a rich matron and smother mother. For decades, Mrs. Venable and son Sebastian had vacationed together, he her virtual spouse, she his magnet for handsome youths.
Until last summer, when, after ill health dimmed Mother's charms, Sebastian turned to nubile cousin Catherine Holly (Kao). He wound up dead, and Cathy returned a shattered soul telling a horrific story nobody believes.
Mrs. Venable dangles financial gain before Cathy's impoverished mother (Saachiko Magwili) and brother (Feodor Chin) and young Dr. Cukrowicz (Leonard Wu) to bring her niece's babbling to a lobotomized halt. This threat drives Williams' plum-toned study of homosexuality, incest and the perils of predatory tourism. The metaphor-laden narrative clashes multiple symbols en route to Cathy's climactic recollection of events at Cabeza de Lobo, an epic monologue Kao delivers with impressive control.
Barring his obscured upstage placement of Mrs. Venable during this, director Chil Kong's staging is competent, with austerely effective designs and unforced humor. Yet the aura of subliminal depravity that this heavily encoded tale requires to unsettle -- a quality that fuels Joseph L. Mankiewicz's much-revised 1959 film and Richard Eyre's 1993 BBC TV adaptation -- is ephemeral.
There's something grotesque about "Summer's" corrosive curlicues, and that's what gives it dramatic punch. By scanting the lurid underbelly, this respectable but prim reading inadvertently devours itself.

"Suddenly Last Summer," GTC Burbank, 1111-B W. Olive Ave., Burbank. 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays. Ends Aug. 24. $16. (323) 993-7245. Running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes.

Grizzly Bear shows growth, in fan numbers and song repertoire
Standing on the stage of the Pabst Theater Tuesday before a single note was played, Ed Droste from Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear could see how far its fan base had come. When the band first played the Pabst, he said, tickets were available for only the lower level. On Tuesday, both the lower level and the lower balcony were filled, and there were even some folks up at the tippy top.
That's not surprising. After coalescing its lovely sound - most distinguished by angelic voices - around a gorgeous single, 2009's "Two Weeks" from breakthrough album "Veckatimest," Grizzly Bear came roaring back with last year's splendid "Shields," its grandest accomplishment to date and one of 2012's finer albums. »Read Full Article

Are we leaving the arts out of journalism?
Like most journalists, I look to reports like the recently released Tow Center report on the changing nature of the field for guidance, for ways of thinking about what I do. But what I find is that what I do as a critic is increasingly marginalized or ignored by such studies.
In the thousands of words in the report from Tow, based at the Columbia School of Journalism and written by some of the finest minds in the field, there is a glaring void. There is no real consideration of cultural dialogue and criticism, perhaps the fastest shrinking segment of mainstream media today. Journalism worth doing is defined as investigative, watchdog journalism, the stories that somebody, somewhere doesn't want written. I would agree that this is the core of good journalism. »Read Full Blog Post(9)

On Tap Today: Grizzly Bear attacks the Pabst
With a band name like Grizzly Bear, you'd picture a bunch of dudes with long greasy hair and leather pants, blasting '80s heavy metal while girls in skimpy outfits frolic around on stage.

Erik Spoelstra has a new girlfriend, and Miami Heat fans will be happy to hear that he is sticking with the Heat family even in his personal life. Spoelstra likes his team so much that he decided to date one of its former dancers, 24-year-old Nikki Sapp. According to Gossip Extra, the 42-year-old Spoelstra attended a fundraiser sponsored by Heat broadcasters Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino with Sapp by his side. Sapp began dancing for the Heat in 2006, just after she turned 18. She is now a director at Guy Hepner art gallery in West Hollywood and splits her time between Miami and Los Angeles. Spoelstra and Sapp have reportedly been dating for more than two years, so the couple has done a pretty good job of keeping their relationship quiet. Considering Spoelstra is nearly twice the young lady's age, it's possible that played into his decision to not make any public appearances with Sapp. Or, it's also possible that he is just a private person. In any event, life seems to be going well for Coach Spo at the moment. The Heat have dominated the NBA with 18 straight victories and his lady friend is quite easy on the eyes.

My goal: I would like to specify how long the images in my slideshow appear.

Through looking at possible NexGEN settings, I noticed that shortcodes can be used to adjust some settings, but didn't see anything to adjust how long an image will appear. Is this possible?

Local club makes a habit of helping others for 25 years
Published: Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 17, 2010 at 11:54 a.m.
HOUMA — When someone from the Bayou Civitan Club introduces themselves to a member of the public, the club member is usually immediately asked questions about their organization, according to club president Darnell LeBlanc.
LeBlanc, 56, said she's become accustomed to educating others about her club in recent months as she's sought sponsorships for an upcoming trivia night planned for Oct. 23.
Examples of the many activities the Bayou Civitan Club engages in weekly are volunteering at local and state Special Olympics events, holding a back-to-school bash for children from the St. Louis Infant Center and lending a hand to other worthwhile causes like Relay for Life.
"We're one of the best-kept secrets in Houma," the 56-year-old said of the club that currently has 30 members. "We do a lot of things in the community that go unnoticed, but we're definitely out there working toward making south Louisiana a better place."
Entering her second year as president and fourth in the club, LeBlanc said she's trying to spread the word about the club, as it prepares for its 25th-anniversary Saturday.
The group is planning an anniversary banquet Saturday at Plantation Inn in Houma.
"We're going to have a past president there as well as other officers and more," LeBlanc said. "What's exciting for us is this event happens to fall on the exact date of when we became a chartered organization."
Getting an accurate depiction of the Bayou Civitan Club's history requires the insight of a charter member, something the club has several of.
Just look at 71-year-old Rose Goolsby.
Goolsby said she can recall key details about the club that very few people are privy about.
After moving to the Houma area from Alabama following a divorce, Goolsby was interested in joining a group where she could meet other people.
One organization that caught her interest was the Houma Civitan Club, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in April.
"I liked what they stood for, but the only problem was they were still a men's only club," Goolsby said.
Instead of giving up on the idea, Goolsby and a few others got the Houma Civitan Club to assist them in forming their own singles-only club.
"The only qualification was you had to be a single male or female," Goolsby said. "At that time, there were still a lot of single people here from the oil boon, so it wasn't hard to get it (club) up on its feet. I enjoyed it because I had the chance to fellowship and make friends with other single people."
As the oil bust of the mid-'80s began to unravel, so did the singles-only club that eventually morphed into what's known today as the Bayou Civitan Club.
"Our group is and always has been a co-ed club," Goolsby said. "Along the way, we had several men join and leave our group."
Although separate in one sense, the Bayou Civitan Club works on several community-service projects with their neighboring Houma Civitan Club members.
"They've since changed their rules and now have women serving in their club," LeBlanc said. "Their president is also a woman."
Civitan was founded in Birmingham, Ala., in 1917 by its first president, Dr. Courtney W. Shropshire, a prominent Birmingham physician.
According to its international website, Civitan emphasizes helping people with developmental disabilities, while performing a variety of service projects to address the unique needs of their communities.
LeBlanc admits that most people's knowledge about the Bayou Civitan Club doesn't extend past the candy boxes they see at local businesses.
One person who has seen past these candy boxes is Deborah Tabler.
Tabler has worked as the activities director at Houma's Heritage Manor nursing home for 23 years.
"They're an awesome club," she said. "They come in and host quarterly parties where they provide cake, ice cream, entertainment and volunteers."
At a recent gathering, the Bayou Civitan Club brought their junior Civitans to the nursing home for a visit.
"I don't know where someone like myself would be without clubs like this one," Tabler said. "It's a blessing to communities to have a club like this that brings joy and happiness to people who really need it."
Goolsby, who celebrated her birthday on Saturday, said the cause she spends most of her time on is the Special Olympics.
"That's where I'm going to be on my birthday," Goolsby said on Tuesday. "Once you get involved with those Special Olympians it has a way of making you so happy inside."
Fostering an interest in giving back to your community is something LeBlanc is passionate about.
Her desire to make her surroundings a better place has caught the eye of her daughter, Melissa Authement.
Authement, 31, is the youngest member of the Bayou Civitan Club.
"I've been helping her out for a few years now, but only recently became a member," Authement said. "My main event I work on is the St. Louis Infant Center. We hold a party for them every school year and it brings me a lot of joy seeing them happy. It's just another example of the wonderful things this club does for others."
Authement has already talked one of her friends into joining the Bayou Civitan Club. But that will have to wait until after the club holds its trivia night.
"Since club members can't participate she told me she won't officially join until November," Authement said with a laugh.
Authement and her mother understand the importance of having today's youth become interested in clubs like Bayou Civitan.
That's why LeBlanc has worked hard to build up a local junior Civitan club.
At about 20 members, LeBlanc said she's pleased with the size of her group that ranges in age from 11 to 17.
"We need the younger people to keep a club like ours going strong well into the future," she said. "These kids are our future leaders and it's important to teach them important lessons like being unselfish and giving back to your community."
To learn more about the club or becoming a member, visit www.civitan.org or call 860-8065 or 594-3932.

The introduction of the automatic feeder was designed to compete against new machinery coming onto the market post-WW I (1914-1918). It is not known if the machine was supplied with the feeder from the factory, or if the feeder was marketed separately by its manufacturer.

Vista success hinges on developers

Vista revs up peer-to-peer engineMay 30, 2006
Microsoft hops on the 64-bit busSeptember 23, 2003
(continued from previous page)
Creators of professional programs have a much harder time just starting over, as Riverdeep did. With Photoshop, for example, Adobe aims to keep the program looking modern, but wants to keep the controls and palettes in the places people expect rather than overhauling the user interface.
John Nack, a senior product manager for Photoshop, said that the company doesn't want to change things in a way that would force its users to forsake the hundreds or thousands of hours of muscle memory they have built up in the current generation of products. Plus, the company places a high priority on making sure its software title maintains a similar look and feel across Macs and PCs.
"To some extent, that's a different priority than maybe the OS vendors have," he said. "For us, even the placement of 'close' boxes--whether it is in the left side of the palette or the right side--it can trigger a reaction."
Adobe has released a test version of Adobe Photoshop CS3, the next version of the program, which will support Vista. Nack said the program isn't really written specifically for Vista. "If somebody is moving to Vista, I think CS3 is going to be a great fit," he said. "I wouldn't say that you necessarily should upgrade (to Vista) because there is some particular feature we are leveraging."
However, Nack said the new Photoshop does benefit from some of Vista's overall performance improvements such as faster loading of applications. "It's nice we get an extra kick from Vista there," he said.
The company is also careful when it comes to architectural changes, even those that aren't visible to the customer.
One of the technologies that Microsoft has been working for years to bring into Windows for years is support for 64-bit computing. The company introduced a 64-bit version of Windows XP a couple of years ago, but it remains a niche product.
Nack said that Adobe would have to see considerable performance gains to justify the effort needed to create a 64-bit version of Photoshop.
"It's not clear to us at this point that it will (be worth the effort), especially when you consider the work involved," Nack said.
The company is already straining to restructure its software for better use the additional processor cores that are becoming standard in PCs. "Making sure the cores aren't going to waste--that's a big challenge for us," Nack said.
Some of the best uses of new features just take time, Microsoft's Roxe said. A good example of that is the "People Near Me" peer-to-peer engine. Microsoft's own MeetingSpace program offers an early example. But the real test will come as developers start to create new ideas that weren't possible before such technology was built into the operating system.
Vista is also creating some new real estate for programmers, in particular the Sidebar that sits on the side of a Vista screen and houses widgets. Roxe also sees promise in its SideShow technology, basically small secondary displays that sit on the outside of a notebook or on a keyboard and offer notifications for appointments, incoming e-mail, and so on. Because SideShow has to be built into new hardware, it may take some time before there are enough people with it to attract significant developer efforts.
"It will be a little bit longer until end users see it, but the sidebar runs right out of the box," Roxe said. He noted that developers are already creating a lot of Sidebar gadgets, in part because the tiny applications are easy to write.
"If this was 1999 we'd all have stock ticker gadgets," he said. "This being 2007, I think we're much more likely to have weather and traffic."
Software makers that write large programs, such as sales force automation or other business programs, also can use a sidebar gadget to complement their existing products, offering a quick snapshot of data without needing to open up the full program or shift windows.
Roxe said he is hopeful that Microsoft's focus on security with Vista will ultimately free developers to spend more time on their creative efforts.
"Since we've reduced the attack surface area, developers have to spend less time worrying about protecting against attacks, which gives them more time to focus on the real purpose of their application."

A lot depends on where you traveling to.
If I am not certain I can obtain the film I want at my destination, I carry it on and ask for hand inspection. Have never been denied.
If I cannot get it processed during my trip - I similarly carry it on when returning with the hand inspection request. But I'd never risk check-in baggage - the x-rays are much more powerful. I'd sooner mail it with a "Do Not X-ray" message.
Now, it's probably easier for me because I only shoot 35mm and 120/220.
You might want to check with Canada Post as to what their policy is regarding express mail and x-rays. Down here USPS express mail is actually contracted out to FedEx and I don't think it gets x-rayed.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt says Gov. Kathleen Sebelius should seek deeper cuts in the current state budget.
Sebelius already has ordered state agencies to make plans to cut spending by 2 percent. But Schmidt says even more trimming is needed.
A financial forecast issued Tuesday said state government will have a $137 million budget deficit next June.
The state is prohibited by its constitution from running a deficit, requiring adjustments before then.
But lawmakers don't reconvene until January. Sebelius has the power under Kansas law to order cuts.
Schmidt says it will be less painful to do the cutting now.
Sebelius was expected to discuss the budget during a Wednesday
news conference.

Roundup: Are we getting too precious about 'The Master?'
As with most works of high-reaching ambition that critics can't quite agree on -- even those that like it -- "The Master" continues to inspire some of the knottiest film writing of the year. For her part, Stephanie Zacharek admires the film, but suggests a lot of her colleagues feel it's entitled to more thought and attention than it really is. She spins that into an observation of lofty, anti-mainstream festival titles in general: "There's a danger in erecting false walls around different corners of the culture, of claiming some movies deserve our respect by virtue of who made them and of how they're made, regardless of whether they arouse any passion in us."

YIELD: Makes 4 servings (8 empanadas)
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/4 hr
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chorizo and onion, stirring, until onion is softened. Add potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes begin to turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in jalapeños, tomatoes, and cumin and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely. Stir in cilantro, cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out each empanada wrapper into a 6-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Put about 1/3 cup filling in center of each wrapper and form filling into a log. Moisten wrapper edges with a finger dipped in water and fold each wrapper over filling to form a half-moon. Press down around filling to force out air and seal by pressing edges together firmly with a fork.
Heat remaining 3 cups oil in a deep 12-inch skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then fry empanadas in 3 batches, gently turning, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer empanadas to paper towels to drain.
