Determining the Threshold of Acceptability for an Interfering Audio Programme
An experiment was performed in order to establish the threshold of acceptability for an interfering audio programme on a target audio programme, varying the following physical parameters: target programme, interferer programme, interferer location, interferer spectrum, and road noise level. Factors were varied in three levels in a Box-Behnken fractional factorial design. The experiment was performed in three scenarios: information gathering, entertainment, and reading/working. Nine listeners performed a method of adjustment task to determine the threshold values. Produced thresholds were similar in the information and entertainment scenarios, however there were significant differences between subjects, and factor levels also had a significant effect: interferer programme was the most important factor across the three scenarios, whilst interferer location was the least important.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 6/5/13
It was just a week ago that the Mets blogosphere was abuzz, calling for Ruben Tejada to be sent down and call up a streaking Omar Quintanilla. Facing demotion, the problem solved itself when Tejada dove for a ball in short left at Yankee Stadium and strained his quad, landing him on the DL and opening a vacancy for Quintanilla to come up and show what he could contribute; and contribute he has. In his five games since his call-up, the 31-year old veteran has been on fire at the plate, going 9-for-17 with a double, a triple, a home run and three RBIs. Quintanilla has put the ball in play in every one of his at-bats of his short stint thus far, save a lone strikeout. In just five games, Quintanilla has nearly one third of the production that Tejada had in his 50 games this season. Although the fielding has been an issue so far as he has already amounted a trio of errors in only a week in the majors, his bat has been invaluable to this anemic Mets offense. It is a very short sample siz...

The only thing missing from the Duck offense is former quarterback Jeremiah Masoli; the rest of the unit will be ready to rock and roll. As long as either Darron Thomas or Nate Costa can step up and do well (and stay healthy), this will be another outstanding offense. As usual, it's a run-heavy unit, emphasizing the spread option over the passing game. Running back LaMichael James is probably the best player on the team, and is a dangerous weapon every time he touches the ball. The offensive line is deep and experienced, and both quarterback possibilities should be good running the option.
The passing game definitely isn't the strength of the offense, but they can still move the ball through the air, and have solid receivers that should again put up decent numbers. It should be a solid complement to the outstanding run game, as usual.
The untold story of Oregon's great 2009 season was the defense, which substantially improved on 2008's numbers despite heavy personnel losses. With most of the key players returning, they should take another step forward and could very well be the league's best defense in 2010. Their big strength will be pass defense, as they should have the best secondary in the league. Safety John Boyett was a Freshman All-American, the two starting corners should both be very good, and Rover Eddie Pleasant will be solid as well.
The front seven won't be quite as good as the secondary, but will still be strong. Tackle Kenny Rowe and linebackers Spencer Paysinger and Casey Matthews will be the anchors of the run D, and the rest of the roster fills out nicely. There isn't as much raw talent here as, say, USC, but it's hard to find another team that ought to have a better run defense (though a number should be close).
Potentially Huge Upset Win:
Forget huge upset win, the only potential upset win of any sort is at USC. I lean towards the Trojans in that one, but Oregon absolutely has a solid shot to win that game.
Potentially Huge Upset Loss:
That week two trip to Tennessee is dangerous. No, the Vols probably won't be good, but that's a very tough road trip to a very hostile environment (just ask 2006 Cal). Another potential landmine is a late-season trip to Cal, coming after back to back games against USC and rival Washington.
Bottom Line:
I would rate this as the best team in the Pac-10. The schedule doesn't set up very nicely, especially with road trips to USC and Oregon St, but I'm still pegging them to win the league title outright and earn a Rose Bowl trip. The Pac-10 will be too tough for them to run the slate, but 10 wins should be enough to send them back to Pasadena.
Oregon St has been a consistently good team the last four seasons, and this should continue in 2010. They won't likely be good enough to win the league title, but if they can somehow develop at QB (a big issue for them in the Riley era), then they'd have as good a shot as anyone not named Oregon or USC.
Last year, Oregon State featured a balanced offensive attack that found a lot of success both on the ground and through the air. This year, they'll be a bit more run-focused, but should overall again have a good offense. They return Quizz Rodgers, who only gets better every year; James Rodgers, who is a strong complement to Quizz and a very good receiver; and an offensive line that should be pretty decent. So running the ball, they should be even better than they had been the past couple years.
However, the big question is the passing game, specifically new quarterback Ryan Katz. The one big problem Mike Riley has had over and over again as a coach is that new starting quarterbacks tend to be mediocre to lousy. And there's no particular reason to think that this is about to be different with Katz. Sure, there's a good running game to take the pressure off. And yes, there is talent at receiver and a line with experience. However, until proven otherwise there's little reason to not think that the passing offense will be a weakness for the Beavers.
As usual, the defense should be pretty good. They lose a few key players, but there's enough talent and experience remaining to think that they should once again be one of the better defenses in the league.
The pass defense should be the big strength here. They return three of their four linemen, as well as most of the contributors in the secondary. The unit was rarely excellent but was consistently solid, and that should more or less contribute, except with a bit better set of numbers in 2010.
The run defense should be good, but not great. Losing Keaton Kristick and David Pa'aluhi are big blows to the linebacker corps, though the defensive line should still be solid, and Dwight Roberson should be pretty good as well.
Potentially Huge Upset Win:
They'll have late-season home games against both USC and Oregon, and have a good chance at both of those games.
Probably I'll regret even typing this, but I actually think the Boise game might be winnable, IF (and it's a huge if) Katz plays at least decently early on. Boise's run D was shredded by Fresno, and struggled against Idaho and Nevada. If they have a down game against the Beavers, and if the Beaver secondary holds up against a Boise team that's more of a passing than running team (they run the ball a lot against bad defenses but against the better ones tend to rely on their main strength, throwing the ball), there's at least a chance of a stunning upset.
Potentially Huge Upset Loss:
This team always, ALWAYS struggles in early season road games. However, at this point TCU and Boise are expected losses. A more dangerous outing is their mid-October trip to a Washington team that should be hungry to end Oregon St's six-game winning streak against the Huskies.
Bottom Line:
This should be a pretty good, but not very good, team. The non-conference is nasty enough to expect that they'll suffer their usual early-season swoon, but in the end, they should recover and make a run, which is why I'm projecting 7-5 despite a likely 1-2 non-conference record. If Katz develops quickly, though, they could outperform my projection.

libical has inherited two bugs from the Evolution fork of libical:
The main effect is that in large parts of the world (Western Europe, Australia, South America, Asia) the transition from summer saving time to winter time will not be calculated correctly.
I did a diff between tzutil.c in Evolution and in libical-0.32; the fix should be easy to merge.
Sorry for not reporting this earlier! Please don't shoot the messenger. A while ago I asked on the Evolution hackers list how their fork of libical is related to the sf.net branch but didn't get a response.
My own interpretation now is that Evolution's copy is an old fork and that the real development takes place here; will take that into account for future bug reports.
Bye, Patrick
Allen Winter
Hey Patrick.
What should we do about this bug? I would think it has been fixed in the meantime.
Can we close this?

As long as they confiscate all yellow towels.
I really dislike this "for show" security stuff to give the illusion of safety.
If terrorists want to blow up Paul Brown stadium, they will. Patting down everyone isn't going to prevent it.
I think it has to do more with alcohol than bombs.
They don't want people to bring outside boos in.
I read in an article that Chad Johnson was considering a new celebration after a TD. He would pretend to pat down the ref when he raises his hands to signal touchdown. That sounds funny as heck, but I fear that something like that could lead to a penalty. I would still laugh my head off if he did it, as long as it didn't cost us the game.
He'd get tossed out of the game for touching the ref
I'd like to see it :D
Ok, I didn't know that. Glad to see it was for something even more important than security :laugh: Can't be cutting into beer profits at the stadium.Quote:

We haven\'t heard much news regarding Pittsburgh Steelers free agent cornerback Keenan Lewis since the 2013 free agency signing period started on Tuesday, but on Wednesday Lewis posted on Twitter that he would be visiting the New Orleans Saints.
Lewis is from the New Orleans area and the Saints could definitely use some help in their secondary as they move to a 3-4 defense under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
The Saints. much like the Steelers, don\'t have a lot of salary cap room to work with, however, and they were forced to restructure quite a few contracts over the course of the last few weeks in order to get under the $123 million number.
The free agent cornerback market is flooded right now and you would have to think that the Saints are looking for a bargain.
Oh boy… dont like the fact that he's from the New Orleans area
Thats a great competitor for us. If they are looking to minimize expenses then hed be crazy to move from us for a slighlty higher salary we could offer.
He'll take the visit then call The Steelers. He'll be back tonight or Wednesday
Yeah, me either. Definitively would give some added appeal.
Just learned that the Ravens released Bernard Pollard!! I wish he would pick him up ( not going to happen) but he's a great saftey that wouldnt cost too much and take over for Clark next year.
He's 28 and could take over this year. Reduce Clarks & cut his pay to be the veteran backup.
Do the Saints have the cap room to sign him for more than he can get from the Steelers? I thought the Saints were in just as bad a shape or worse than the Steelers. Seeing as how he is down the road from them, I guess they aren't spending too much money to have him drive down to kick the tires, which could be a good thing for us. Now if he had to get on a plane and go somewhere, perhaps they would be more serious, IMHO.
Clark is a better safety than Pollard, especially in coverage. Not to mention Pollard is a SS and Clark is a FS.
We can hope.
He is from that area, don't underestimate the appeal of that.
Didnt know that. Damn that is a pretty big bargaining chip.
Clark is a beast, easily the 2nd best player on Defense last season behind Timmons
I have a feeling he isn't coming back. I think the Saints are getting him and not letting him leave the building without signing.
He is a Strong Safety take over for Polamalu
Remember when Redskins let Clark go for Adam Archuleta. LMFAO
Wow! Are you sure you're a Steeler Fan?
Yeah, he has to come back to Pitt to pack up his stuff and move back down to his hometome in Nawlins.
It sounds like they dont have much cap room either, just like us.. lets hope Lewis prefers to play for Lebeau and Lake over a Ryan
Makes you wonder if he grew up as a Saints fan? I know if I was an NFL player, there is no doubt I'd take a lower salary to play for the Steelers.
nice call, you might be right
So what the heck is his little secret???
They are supposedly interested in Nnamdi as well, so I doubt they offer Lewis anything just yet.
Why surprised or news that he is meeting with Saints. Assume he'll visit with every team.
I agree with your Clark comment. Our secondary played well last year. What we need is to update the QB pressure and then we get what we need the most: TO's.
Our secondary is deep. Carnell has done a fantastic job. What surprises me is the signing of Gay. It almost suggests that the FO knew/knows that Lewis is leaving. I am having serious doubts about the FO's decisions, but I will wait for that judgement. I am sure that nobody cares what I think but: Harrison stays Woodley goes, Colon stays Legursky is free to sign elsewhere, and I would have offered all of Gay's money to Lewis. If we bring back Gay for Lewis then I am starting to smell the Pirates FO strategy. What is true is that we don't know what is going on behind the scenes.
Seeing as the Saints are as cap strapped as we are, you have to wonder if they can really offer him more than we can. Then again, they probably won't have to since Leiws is from the area and the Saints are Super Bowl contenders. All that said, we might have to offer more than the Saints to even think about getting him back.

City of Memphis to open clinic for employees, retirees and their dependents
Memphis to open clinic for employees, retirees and
The city of Memphis plans to create a clinic to provide basic health care to employees, retirees and their dependents. The clinic, in partnership with Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, would expand an existing clinic that operates part-time.
The announcement came during a lengthy and sometimes confusing committee discussion of how the city would address the needs of people affected by its decision to cut health care subsidies to most retirees.
The clinic would be located at 1803 Union, near McLean, and open Oct. 1.
The council doesn't need to take additional steps to open it, said city human resources director Quintin Robinson. "This is done," he said.

|Resort Fee At El Cortez - Wm. Burns (01/28/2014) - 4.5 out of 5 stars
|Effective Feb.1st,'14, the downtown El Cortez has joined the ever-growing "Rip Off The Customer" Hotel List by charging a mandatory $8.95 plus tax daily Resort Fee. I will not stay at any Vegas Hotel who uses this odius tactic to extort extra money from their customers and I hope you will do the same.
|friendly, cheap, pleasant - jefflcox (01/21/2014) - 4.5 out of 5 stars
|On weekdays, El Cortez offers excellent $3 blackjack and seems happy to do so. We played with a dealer on her first day, and although she was slow and somewhat likely to make mistakes, everyone -- players and pit bosses -- was patiently encouraging. Security "stole" a player's purse to make a point about protecting valuables, and made the lesson fun. The video poker is better than most. The diner has a good $5 burger and beer special.
|Employees - melvia1937 (01/08/2014) - 4.5 out of 5 stars
|My spouse and I have been El Cortez players for 30 years and have enjoyed every visit. The employees always greets us with a smile and always inquire about our family. We enjoy that they remember us and make each visit special for us. I recommend the El Cortez to all my friends and family. The hotel is close to The Fremont Experience and the slots are really loose. The rates are very good. Try it sometimes you might enjoy it as much as we do see you soon.

"Come! Quickly! A tiger is calling!"
Seconds after guesthouse owner Usha Singh Rathore sounds the alarm, her guests gleefully abandon their Indian Sauvignon Blanc and garlic-studded naan to cluster around the dwindling remains of a nearby bonfire. Peering into the darkness, they're rewarded with a guttural, spine-tingling roar: an unseen queen of the jungle, looking for a potential king.
"That was close," says Usha's husband, Goverdhan, pointing toward a brushy area only two football fields away.
And a good omen, as well.
The tigress' come-hither command is the first the couple has heard in two years of living on the fringes of Ranthambhore, about 300 miles southeast of New Delhi in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Once a private hunting ground for maharajahs, this 155-square-mile enclave is the country's most famous and visited tiger preserve — and a key battleground in a desperate and complicated fight to save India's national symbol from extinction.
When Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book in 1894, a century after William Blake's evocative ode, as many as 50,000 Bengal tigers roamed Indian forests, stalked by elephant-riding marksmen who retired to opulent lodges once they'd bagged their big cats.
India, still home to nearly half of the world's wild tigers (estimated at fewer than 5,000), banned their hunting in 1970. But the country's ballooning human population (now 1.1 billion) and corresponding pressure on native habitat, coupled with governmental corruption and poachers responding to an illegal demand for tiger pelts and body parts in China and Southeast Asia, have sent the animal's ranks plummeting.
Worldwide, tiger numbers have declined by 95% over the past 100 years — and according to preliminary results in a new study by the government-run Wildlife Institute of India, fewer than 1,500 remain here. Most are confined to national reserves such as Ranthambhore and central India's Bandhavgarh and Kanha (inspiration for TheJungle Book), but that doesn't ensure their safety: Only a handful of the country's 28 reserves still shelter sustainable breeding populations, and the animals disappeared entirely from Rajasthan's popular Sariska reserve after a poaching scandal in 2004.
Scenic Ranthambhore, with its towering, 10th-century fortress, wooded ravines and man-made lakes ringed by the crumbling remains of royal hunting lodges, has a long reputation as one of India's most likely places to spot stripes. An estimated 75% of photographs and documentaries of Bengal tigers in the wild have been taken here, and the park is a favorite among foreign tourists. Some 30 hotels and lodges, about a third of them built in the past few years, flank the narrow road that links the park to the closest town and railway station in Sawai Madhopur (aka "Tiger City").
One of the area's newest lodging options is the Rathores' Khem Villas, an unpretentiously swank 15-room retreat that boasts a vegetarian menu with ingredients plucked from the owners' adjacent farm, private patios with outdoor showers and massive stone bathtubs, and lotus-speckled water hole with a resident crocodile. (No worries, he's shy.)

Trestman looking like good fit for Cutler
The biggest difference Shanahan sees now is the supporting cast.
They added a go-to receiver a year ago when they reunited Cutler with Brandon Marshall, and Alshon Jeffery is paying off in a big way this season after being taken in the second round in 2012. The offseason addition of tight end Martellus Bennett gave Cutler another big target, and with four new starters on an overhauled line, Cutler isn't running for his life the way he did in recent years.
The ball is also coming out of his hands quicker, which takes some pressure off his blockers. And when Shanahan looks at Cutler now, he sees more than a familiar face. He sees a familiar result.
"That's the way he played for me," Shanahan said.

Yes I love good cold beer......And mustard on my fries
First thing you should know is that I have 4 amazing kids at home, 3 sons and 1 daughter. I work full time as a RN with a local Hospice. I am from Colorado and moved here to Texas about 6 years ago. I enjoy a variety of things and I love being outdoors. I love music and listen to a wide variety of it. My favorites are county, rock, soft/rock, and 80's and 90's music. I am an honest, loyal and caring person, and am looking for the same in a partner. I am looking for someone that loves kids and is okay with me having 4 of them.....I know that is a lot to even think about taking on. I believe a true relationship requires friendship first and foremost. I feel that I am a good person and live by the rule "do unto others as you'd have done to you". I get along with just about everyone, however I am usually shy and quiet at first until I get to know you. I am a bit of a tomboy you could say and don't mind getting my hands dirty. I love to camp and be in the water!! There is so much more to know about me, but hey why tell you everything right away! I wish you all the very best!!

I am from Colorado and I miss the mountains very much. My favorite places to be would be camping by a lake with my fishing pole in the water or out on my raft floating down the river.
Camping, fishing, road trips, watching my boy play his football games, whitewater rafting, concerts, BBQ's, family get togethers, rollercoasters, water parks.
I love being outdoors. I love watching my son play for his football teams. I enjoy hanging out with my kiddos and my family. I love camping and fishing, six flags, concerts, whitewater rafting, or just working in the yard.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Reviewer: Amanda Smith
from Boston, MA
For someone who has wide and really flat feet, I absolutely love these shoes! So lightweight they feel like slippers! The memory foam is amazingly comfortable! I am on my second pair! I just came back to buy a third pair only to find out Zappos doesn't stock these at the moment, I'm very disappointed! Hopefully this review will help change that!
Reviewer: Charles McLaughlin
from San Francisco
I was a big fan on the Samoa line, but when I went to reorder Zappos didn't carry it. These are not the same! They're bulky and the sole is thicker in the back, which makes you feel slanted. They feel a half size larger than normal. Perhaps wearing two pairs of socks would help, but I shouldn't have to do that.
Amazing wedges! I got them in mint and will definitely get another color. Very comfortable and the leather is high quality.
from Yakima Washington
I love these. They are sporty but professional to wear with ankle length summer trousers. They are supportive enough for post plantar fasciitis. The Anne Klein iFlex is great. I wish the black option was patent.
Reviewer: Lily
from Texas
These are super cute and lightweight. I really love how they look. I usually wear a 7 but could use a 7½ for length. So I ordered the 38 in narrow. The width fit perfectly but they are actually too long. My foot does not sit in the footbed position correctly. They are a little irritating when my foot slides back. I should have gone with the 37. In the correct size, these would be excellent!
I have trouble with about 90 percent of the shoes that I buy, but thanks to the previous reviews, I trusted that these would work out since I desperately needed shoes for a wedding. I was quite literally jumping for joy at how amazingly comfortable they were. I stood for about 70 percent of the night and still felt like I was walking on a soft, padded carpet. I ordered a 6½W (I always have a problem with regular width) and these shoes were beyond perfect. I highly recommend them.
My 7-year-old has worn the Keen Newport H2 style every summer since he was a toddler, but this year he balked and refused to wear the latest pair, citing discomfort. I purchased and returned Keen knock-off after Keen knock-off trying to find a pair he would deign to wear. These are that pair. They seem sturdy and well-built, though the fake leather looks cheap up close. But hey, they're sandals and he puts them on his feet with no complaint. Success!
These sandals are very comfortable and mine have help up now for two summers. I do think that the price is fair and they are worth the money. They do take a while to break in so be patient.
I like the style of these shoes, but they do fit width-wise. I ordered the wider size, but when I tried them on, they did not fit, and they felt like normal medium width shoes.
Reviewer: nancy white
from San Diego, CA
My grown daughters to preteens have complimented me on these. They are very comfortable and give enough support. I am ordering more in other colors!

Business/job title: Owner of Mann's House of Brides
Hometown: Born and raised here.
Current favorite song/CD: "I don't listen to music a lot. I like a lot of things, not rap. We just listened to Pat Boone recently. It was wonderful. I like old things and new things -- symphony, jazz, most types of music.
Favorite movie: "A Christmas Story." She and her husband, Rick, watch a lot of movies at home.
Favorite food: "I haven't met food I haven't liked." However, Thanksgiving dressing is a challenge and turkey is not her favorite, either.
Favorite hobby: "I'm doing it, there are lots of creative outlets here. The last few years I've been getting into my vegetable gardening." She designs veils for many of the bridal gowns, sewing and creativity.
Favorite place in the area: "My garden. That's my happy place. Also, I have a real warm feeling for the shop. It's very pleasant."
Most recent local purchase: Groceries at Albertsons.
Worst job: "I haven't had that many jobs. I've been here most of my life. I didn't hate any of my jobs." Her least favorite job was in a retail operation that was very quiet and had very few customers. She enjoys interacting with the people.
If you had another career, whlat would it be?: She's where she wants to be. "I used to think I'd be in more of a design situation. But I like the one-on-one in a smaller environment. I don't have a serious drive for mass production," she said.

Designed Different. Built Better.
Made in San Francisco from reclaimed wood.
Featured Products
Living the Dream
Wood Thumb is the vision of two brothers, Christopher and David Steinrueck, who set out to make a living by building beautifully designed products that embody sustainability, craftsmanship, and ingenuity. It is a company of ongoing experiments. The perfect blend of entrepreneurial makers and designers, with a kick of cowboy innovation creating beautifully designed products that make life better - and a little more fun.
Designed Different
Our design aesthetic mixes rustic with contemporary minimalism and the beauty of reclaimed wood. From blending materials like wood and metal to combining traditional techniques with modern tools -- we find ways to bring a fresh take to everyday products. It's for the urban woodsman inside you. It's for the contemporary craft beer lover, or high tech aficionado with the antique desk. It's for the people who love those people. And it's for people who just love unique and unexpected products.
We Know Wood
We are passionate about wood – especially wood with character. We use reclaimed redwood, old bourbon barrel staves, birdseye maple that had been hiding in a storage locker for years...and anything else that has a story. We breathe new life into old wood, yet each product still shows hints of its previous life. You can tell from the grooves to the colors -- It's like honoring the past and giving it a new life in the present.
Around the Shop
Our Craftsmanship is Showing
When you pick up our products, you can see how it's made. There is no part that is unnecessary and everything is created with intention. You can clearly feel it was shaped and finished by someone who loves their work and that dedication shows from start to finish. Each product is designed to enhance your life and made to last.
We are San Francisco
As makers located in the heart of the SOMA district, we are not satisfied with just making things but also cultivating a thriving and robust maker community. We designed our workshop to be a gathering place for our community -- in throwing everything from late night design jams, brewing beers, or classes. We embody the San Francisco spirit that seeks to create, collaborate and innovate.
The Magic Sauce
Each of our team members are skilled and passionate artisans in their own right. Honoring each person's abilities and contribution is a core tenet of how we operate.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I'm a college student in Spartanburg SC. I'm a political science and religion double major. I like to bake, knit, and watch movies. I love Star Trek (the Original Series not the remakes) and I'm crazy about The Lord of the Rings (books and movies)! I have a habit of telling terrible jokes and all of my food looks like Hobbit food, but tastes delicious!
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I haven't decided on a career yet, but I do know that I would like to teach abroad when I graduate! I'm spent this past summer teaching English in Cambodia and I loved it!
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Making desserts and pretending that the things I made were totally meant to look like that...
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My hair, it's kind of bright red. I also have huge eyes
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I really enjoy Harry Potter, but who doesn't nowadays. I really love Pride and Prejudice. I don't really get to read for fun as much as I would like but I still read some neat stuff for class. I also love horror movies! My new favorite was Dead Silence. I love the Avengers and all of the movies leading up to it. The new Captain America was fantastic! So was Guardians of the Galaxy! My favorite show is probably Steven Universe, but I like Supernatural and Criminal Minds. I'll listen to just about any music.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
1. My water bottle (I'm always thirsty)
2. A blanket or sweater (I'm always cold)
3. My contacts (I'm blind as a bat)
4. Socks (They're super comfy but mine never match)
5. Lettuce (I eat it with everything, not on purpose it just happens)
6. My iPod (I would be really sad if I lost it)
2. A blanket or sweater (I'm always cold)
3. My contacts (I'm blind as a bat)
4. Socks (They're super comfy but mine never match)
5. Lettuce (I eat it with everything, not on purpose it just happens)
6. My iPod (I would be really sad if I lost it)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
I spend a lot of time planning elaborate trips to places that I fully intend to visit one day even though I can't afford them right now. My latest trip is to Cusco Peru to work on jungle conservation. I managed to make my way to Cambodia this past summer and I spent 10 weeks teaching English. Honestly I really want to go back.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Watching movies and trying on goofy costumes or working
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I am horribly afraid of moths. I can take on spiders and cockroaches but moths terrify me. I think it's the way they fly, freaks me out.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You give really good hugs!

Activity Breaks in Westport, Co. Mayo
My first view of Croagh Patrick was on a winter's day. A storm had raged on the west coast for three days and finally, it blew itself out. We had approached Westport from Louisberg and were not prepared for our first glimpse of Clew Bay.

I guess it's like life; we have plans, like destinations, but ultimately we're unsure what will happen along the way. Sometimes we veer off our chosen path and find ourselves lost, or we discover the path is more beautiful than the one we'd set out for ourselves. Read more
Walking Through Tuscan Hills, French Canals & Forests
I love to walk. I think I've always done. Nothing clears my head than taking to the beach and walking alongside the waves, gulls soaring above and the wind on my face. Read more
Fitzpatrick Hotel, Grand Central, NYC
Ask anyone, anywhere and they will tell you the Irish give the best welcome.
When you arrive to one of the busiest cities in the world, with temperatures way below zero, it helps to step into a warm hotel and hear "Welcome to Fitzpatrick's. How was your flight? You must be tired, we'll get you sorted straight away." Read more
New York – The City That Won't Let You Sleep
"I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep" sang the lovely Frank Sinatra, and boy was he right. For those living in New York, it is still the city where anything is possible, where you can become 'King of the hill, top of the heap' no matter who you are or where you come from. Read more
Romantic Breaks in Europe
I'm not a fan of Valentine's Day. It feels more like a commercial ploy to fill the space between Christmas and Easter than a day for people to demonstrate their love for one another. I prefer little gestures throughout the year; bars of my favourite chocolate delivered to my couch, spontaneous weekend lunches, home-cooked dinners and flowers, simply because.
A Retreat in the Garden of Ireland – Powerscourt Hotel
I love Wicklow, but I'm biased, I was born and raised here and recently bought a house in the heart of the county. We now live overlooking mountains and a lush green valley. Our back garden leads into a forest laden with wildlife – red squirrels, hedgehogs, Red Kites and deer. There is a reason Wicklow is known as the Garden of Ireland and I'm proud to call it home. So to visit a hotel in Wicklow, was a real pleasure! Read more
Orlando: Things to See and Do
One thing I can guarantee you, you won't get everything done in one trip to Orlando. So, with this in mind, my advice to you is to prioritise. Pick the top 5 things you want to see and do and then plan your days around them. After that, if you have spare time, you can hit your reserve list. Orlando means something different to everyone, depending on your tastes and age, but here is what I managed to take in on my visit and what I most enjoyed. Read more
Theme Parks, Everglades and Family Fun in Orlando
Orlando. This is the city of fun, a playground for young and old, a place to relive your youth, make your head spin on crazy roller coasters, experience 3-D rides like you've never imagined and meet Mickey Mouse. What's not to love? Even if you don't think you're into theme parks, believe me, spend a week in Orlando and you'll be converted. Read more
Winter Sun Destinations
The thought of leaving behind dreary winter skies and escaping to sunnier shores is very appealing. Long weekends in sunny cities, lazy family beach holidays or you may even be setting your sights further afield to exotic locations where sunshine and adventure is guaranteed. There are plenty of places to visit which offer sun during our winter season – India, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The world is your oyster.

The 2009 Tablas Creek Vineyard Grenache Blanc is Tablas Creek's eigth bottling of its 100% Grenache Blanc. The Grenache Blanc grape, a little-known but widely-planted Southern Rhone varietal, produces wines with full body, good acidity, and flavors of citrus, anise, and green apple.
We use most of our Grenache Blanc in our Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc and Cotes de Tablas Blanc each year. However, we have been so pleased by the flavors and intensity of the Grenache Blanc that we try to reserve a small quantity of Grenache Blanc for a single-varietal bottling each year.
The grapes for our 2009 Grenache Blanc were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2009 vintage was our third consecutive drought year, with yields further reduced by April frosts. Berries and clusters were small, with excellent concentration. Ripening over the summer was gradual and our Grenache Blanc harvest complete at the time of a major rainstorm on October 13th. Crop sizes were 10% smaller than 2008 and 30% lower than usual. The low yields and gradual ripening resulted in wines with an appealing lushness, rich texture and gentle minerality. Our Grenache Blanc was harvested between September 14th and 24th.
The Grenache Blanc grapes were whole cluster pressed, and fermented using native yeasts in stainless steel tanks and one two-year-old foudre. The Grenache Blanc lots were assembled in May 2010, and bottled in July 2010. The wines underwent only a light cold stabilization before bottling.
The 2009 Grenache Blanc shows a smooth nose of buttered toast, preserved lemon and caramel, with a mouth-filling richness on the palate. The finish at first is bright and lemony, and then turns softer with lingering creamy, mineral notes. Drink in the next two to three years.

Since 2007, we have made our En Gobelet exclusively from dry-farmed, head-trained vineyard blocks. The results have been so compelling that we're planning to plant our entire new parcel -- all 55 acres -- in this style over the coming decade. Join us for this vertical tasting of every vintage of En Gobelet, from the 2007 to the newly-blended 2014. We'll also offer, before the tasting, an optional hike led by Viticulturist Levi Glenn through the rugged Scruffy Hill block from which we source most of the wine, and finish with a picnic lunch on our patio. $60 for wine club members and $75 for guests. Reservations are essential; we expect this to sell out. To reserve, email us at email@example.com or call us at 805.237.1231 ext 30. Details & More Events »

I had the distinct pleasure of tagging along last week on a trade visit to the Perrin family's holdings in the Rhone Valley. Our odyssey began with our thirsty quintet of wine professionals packed into an undersized rental car like foie gras terrine as we traversed from Dijon to Valence. I sat shotgun with GPS in hand and snails in my belly as we watched the landscape change from the sunflowers and Charolais beef pastures of Burgundy to the lavender fields and olive groves of the Rhone.

Please can someone check the above incase I've made some foolish error! Is there anything else I've missed (do I also need MMS setting for a GPRS connection in 'Data Connections'?)
When sending an MMS I instantly get a failed message report (that can't be opened) and when trying to connect to the Internet I get the "Unable to connect" message. (I do have a [G] displayed at the top of the homescreen.)

When you open the Application Virtualization (App-V) Client Management snap-in on a Windows Server Computer running the App-V Client for Remote Desktop Services, you get the following error:
MMC could not create the snap-in.
MMC could not create the snap-in. The snap-in might not have installed correctly.
Name: Application Virtualization Client
This may happen if you attempt to maintain multiple connections to the App-V client through the client administrative snap-in/console under the same administrative account when accessed from multiple RDP sessions.
You can have one console connection alongside a single RDP connection – even under the same user account. The issue only arises when you are attempting a second instance of the MMC snap-in from a second RDP session under the same user account.
This issue is known and considered by design.
