sealed class Dumper{ private StringBuilder sb; static public string Dump(Node root) { var dumper = new Dumper(); dumper.Dump(root, ""); return dumper.sb.ToString(); } private Dumper() { this.sb = new StringBuilder(); } private void Dump(Node node, string indent) { // Precondition: indentation and prefix has already been output // Precondition: indent is correct for node's *children* sb.AppendLine(node.Text); for (int i = 0; i < node.Children.Count; ++i ) { bool last = i == node.Children.Count - 1; var child = node.Children[i]; sb.Append(indent); sb.Append(last ? '└' : '├'); sb.Append('─'); Dump(child, indent + (last ? " " : "│ ")); } }}
I really love the simplicity of this Eric. May I ask how long it took you to write, and how much up front thinking you done?
Got a very similar solution. I used a static method that returned a string and created the StringBuilder on its own. But I prefer your solution with only one StringBuilder and an instance method.
How did I get the solution?
1. A recursive approach seemed to be natural, because the output is recursive (c is following on b instead of g)
2. Basically every line has some prefix and the text of the node
3. There is a pattern for the prefix: at first it is always ├─ or └─, later this two strings can be replaced ("├─" becomes "│ " , and "└─" becomes " ")
And here is the code (using an instance method):
private void Dump(Node node, string prefix)
var childPrefix = prefix.Replace("├─", "│ ").Replace("└─", " ");
for (int i = 0; i < node.Children.Count; i++)
Dump(node.Children[i], childPrefix + (i == node.Children.Count -1 ? "└─" : "├─"));
Hm, to be honest, in your implementation I don't like the fact that the private Dump() is entered while the StringBuilder is in the middle of a line. You did comment on the "precondition", but the code would be more self-documenting if that precondition weren't necessary. My solution generates complete lines at a time, and also it doesn't create an instance of Dumper so I made it a static class.
Here is my code: csharp.pastebin.com/yf0hLnFs
All these years of C# coding and this is the first time I see the params keyword. How odd!
Hmm. My solution is very similar to yours. But I failed to understand why don't you make Dumper static. Is there some useful options about StringBuilder or class instance?
Here is my implementation.
After some time thinking I've come with non-recursive solution with only one function Dump (but with one extra class-container). Interesting that it have some common with recursive (last, parent indent)
Also I've benchmarked this solution and it is at least not slower (on toll/deep trees) and sometimes 2x faster (on wide trees) :)
thnx for good change to play thinking :)
sealed class MyDumper
private class Helper
public Node Node;
public Helper Parent;
public string ParentIndent;
public bool Last;
public static string Dump(Node root)
var sb = new StringBuilder();
var workStack = new Stack<Helper>();
var droot = new Helper {Parent = null, Node = root, ParentIndent = ""};
while (workStack.Count > 0)
var current = workStack.Pop();
if (current.Parent != null)
current.ParentIndent = current.Parent.ParentIndent +
(current.Last?" ":"│")+
" ";
// my indent
sb.Append(current.Last ? "└" : "├");
else current.ParentIndent = "";
for (int index = current.Node.Children.Count-1; index>=0; index--)
var node = current.Node.Children[index];
var dnode = new Helper {Node = node, Parent = current, Last = index==current.Node.Children.Count-1};
return sb.ToString();
I would like to ask whether this implementation could benefit from hoisting the 'last' variable out of the loop?
Similarly, the only use of the "child" local variable is in the recursive call, so I wonder if there is a significant reason NOT to inline it?
I always seem to learn something new from your posts Eric. I didn't know that arrays implemented IList<T>. I found it quite interesting that the mutable methods of IList<T> throw NotSupportedException and rely on explicit interface implementation to discourage their use. This is both clever but annoying because it violates Liskov. Is this something to be emulated or avoided?
This is *very* close to a solution I came up with. I also refactored using LINQ to see if I could further condense the result (e.g., I split the children into a head-list and last-node using Take(root.Children.Count - 1) and Last()). When you write LINQ solutions do they always start out as LINQ queries or do you sometimes refactor to LINQ expressions?
whoops... *shame on me* I just noticed "last" can't be hoisted because references the loop variable. Is it worth taking the Count-1 expression out of the loop?
First i did it nearly similar, then i thought about using LINQ to solve it:
sealed class Dumper
public static string Dump(Node root)
return Dump(root, "");
private static string Dump(Node nod, string str)
return nod.Children.Aggregate(nod.Text,
(s, n) =>
s + "\n" + str + (n == nod.Children.Last() ? "└─" : "├─") +
Dump(n, str + (n == nod.Children.Last() ? " " : "│ ")));
Hope there's no error in it.
A clean, simple solution. I would just make public API a little more flexible to avoid building up a large string when the output is simply needs to be dumped to a stream/console:
internal sealed class Dumper
private readonly TextWriter _writer;
public static void Dump(Node root, TextWriter writer)
var dumper = new Dumper(writer);
dumper.Dump(root, "");
public static string Dump(Node root)
var writer = new StringWriter();
return writer.ToString();
private Dumper(TextWriter writer)
_writer = writer;
private void Dump(Node node, string indent)
for (var i = 0; i < node.Children.Count; ++i)
var last = i == node.Children.Count - 1;
var child = node.Children[i];
_writer.Write(last ? '└' : '├');
Dump(child, indent + (last ? " " : "│ "));
Of course, it still satisfies the original required API.
Regarding the non-static nature of Eric's solution: we often use a similar paradigm of creating instances inside static methods to do the real work. This is one way to make the public static method "thread safe". Another alternative is to pass all of the state on the stack to private static methods, but this can lead to less readable method signatures. For example, the static entry point could have created a StringBuilder object and passed it to static recursion methods. But if additional state was required in the future, you would end up changing method signatures.
static public string Dumper(Node root)
string str = "";
Stack<Tuple<Node, int, int, string>> stack = new Stack<Tuple<Node, int, int, string>>();
stack.Push(Tuple.Create(root, 0, 0, ""));
while (stack.Count != 0)
var tuple = stack.Pop();
int depth = tuple.Item2;
int childCount = tuple.Item3;
Node node = tuple.Item1;
string depthPrefix = tuple.Item4;
string prefix = depthPrefix;
if (depth != 0)
if (childCount > 0)
prefix += "├─";
prefix += "└─";
str += prefix;
str += node.Text;
str += "\n";
for (int i = node.Children.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
if (depth > 0)
if (childCount > 0)
stack.Push(Tuple.Create(node.Children[i], depth + 1, node.Children.Count - i - 1, depthPrefix + "│ "));
stack.Push(Tuple.Create(node.Children[i], depth + 1, node.Children.Count - i - 1, depthPrefix + " "));
stack.Push(Tuple.Create(node.Children[i], depth + 1, node.Children.Count - i - 1, ""));
return str;

As Nick said, the upper limits are primarily based on the motor, especially with earlier models. I've pushed my older CPP2 with a 3000 series drum and a lot of chemistry, and you can definitely hear the motor struggle with the load. I try not to do that too often.
Check film/developer manufacturer sites for minimum chemistry requirements for various films. The number Jobo cites are minimums required to guarantee fluid coverage of the film in the tank, not developer capacity. You may find in many cases that you need more than the minimum indicated by Jobo. You may even find, for example, that a fully loaded tank can't hold sufficient chemistry to process the film (I haven't run into this yet, but it is possible with certain film/chemistry/dilution combinations I'm sure). Check carefully - Jobo processors aren't failsafe machines.

Product description
For Jeremy Whittle, there isn't much in life as spectacular as the Tour de France: sweat-streaked, taut and burnished athletes toiling across vast and ancient European landscapes, hundreds of thousands of fans lining the route. And then there are the riders: men of almost superhuman capabilities, men who have become his friends, men whose stories he has written day in day out for the past decade. But even the biggest fan can one day wake up to find that he has lost his faith. Bad Blood is the story of Jeremy Whittle's journey from unquestioning fan to Tour de France insider and confirmed sceptic. It's about broken friendships and a sport divided; about having to choose sides in the war against doping; about how galloping greed and corporate opportunism have led the Tour de France to the brink of destruction. Part personal memoir, part devastating expose of a sport torn apart by drugs and scandal, Bad Blood is a love letter to one man's past, and a warning to cycling's future.

ductions are achieved, and ambient monitoring to establish that the program does not inadvertently result in geographic and temporal disparities in results.
Reduce emissions from existing facilities and vehicles, to the extent practical by promulgating standards for sources regardless of their age, status, or fuel. Older stationary sources and mobile nonroad sources are of particular concern.
Address multistate transport problems by providing EPA with greater statutory responsibility to assess multistate air quality issues on an ongoing basis and the regulatory authority to deal with them in a regional context. Constitutionally, interstate environmental rules and regulations must be based on federal authority, but EPA has not been given sufficient tools under the CAA to address the multistate aspects of most air quality problems.
Implementation planning at the state and local levels should be changed to place greater emphasis on performance and results and to facilitate development of multipollutant strategies. Critical actions include
Transform the SIP into an AQM plan. Each state should be required to prepare an air quality management plan (AQMP) that integrates the relevant air quality measures and activities into a single, internally consistent plan. An evolution of the SIP process to an AQMP approach should involve the following:
Given the similarity of sources, precursors, and control strategies, the AQMP should encompass all criteria pollutants in an integrated multipollutant plan.
EPA should identify key hazardous air pollutants that have diverse sources or substantial public health impacts. These pollutants should be included in an integrated multipollutant control strategy and addressed in each state's AQMP.
The scope of the AQMP should explicitly identify and propose control strategies for air pollution hot spots and situations where disadvantaged groups may be disproportionately exposed and should provide incentives to implement the strategies.
Given the current statutory requirements and rules associated with the SIP, it might be necessary to implement this recommendation in stages and provide incentives to facilitate the transition to an AQMP approach.

The "small phylogeny" problem consists in inferring ancestral genomes associated with each internal node of a phylogenetic tree of a set of extant species. Existing methods can be grouped into two main categories: the distance-based methods aiming at minimizing a total branch length, and the synteny-based (or mapping) methods that first predict a collection of relations between ancestral markers in term of "synteny", and then assemble this collection into a set of Contiguous Ancestral Regions (CARs). The predicted CARs are likely to be more reliable as they are more directly deduced from observed conservations in extant species. However the challenge is to end up with a completely assembled genome.
We develop a new synteny-based method that is flexible enough to handle a model of evolution involving whole genome duplication events, in addition to rearrangements, gene insertions, and losses. Ancestral relationships between markers are defined in term of Gapped Adjacencies, i.e. pairs of markers separated by up to a given number of markers. It improves on a previous restricted to direct adjacencies, which revealed a high accuracy for adjacency prediction, but with the drawback of being overly conservative, i.e. of generating a large number of CARs. Applying our algorithm on various simulated data sets reveals good performance as we usually end up with a completely assembled genome, while keeping a low error rate.

Shirt Lifter
And so, in order to paint a clearer picture of this phenomenon, compare my tired old body to that of an old classic car (The Model T Ford will do) thrown right smack in the middle of a Nascar race. Yea, the old girl is tired, but she keeps on that gas pedal and makes those hairpin turns with an ease and class that can only come from a respected, well-oiled and solidly built machine. And she may not win the race, but what the hell, she was there for the ride……and it felt good.
Yes, going back to work did feel good, even though I'm the oldest person in my training class by at least 10 years, and I won't be boss like I'm used to being, and I seriously do hate rising at 5 am. What felt good was being among people again, and realizing that I can hold my own with the young folks and some of them seem to like me quite a lot. I'm a cut-up just like online, but only when it's appropriate.
What I have missed terribly, is writing. I miss the blog posts and reading your posts. Oh I get to some, but not nearly as many as before. I realize my schedule has to change somewhat, but I don't want to lose the friendships I've made by writing my blog. So that's why I'm sitting here writing instead of studying or getting to bed. I just needed to connect with you all again. I feel good here. I feel secure and welcome and if it hadn't been for this blog and my readers/bloggy friends, the past year would have been very tough. So thank you for continuing to visit.
So what did I learn today? Well, you didn't ask, but you should have because you wouldn't believe what I actually learned. During our down-time, I learned that my prison bitch name is "Shirt Lifter". I couldn't very well disagree, I suppose, as that sounds like me. Yep, that's what we did today, checked out the Prison Bitch Name Generator Website. It's a little naughty, but really made for some fun laughs in class. Check it out and let me know what Your prison bitch name is. I'm waiting…….
So tomorrow is Friday. I can say TGIF and actually mean it for a change. I hope your Friday is Freaking Fantastic. Hugs all around from Terri Shirt Lifter Sonoda.

P.S.: As my Iraq-vet friend P told me, just because Iran can broker a cease fire in Basra doesn't mean they can broker a cease fire in Baghdad. (That's quite apart from whether we even want a ceasefire that allows a non-state militia to control chunks of Iraq.) ... 11:17 P.M.

Bud Norris (credits below) For those of us in National League-only fantasy leagues, its our last shot at picking Houston Astros.Pardon me if I pass on their starting pitchers.The Astros had a team ERA of 4.51 last year and that included an ERA of 4.46 or worse from three of their regular starting pitchers.As for the offseason, Houston's big addition to the rotation was Livan Hernandez. Yup, he's still alive...and playing.The rotation will look similar to last year led by Wandy Rodriguez, who was the ace of the staff with 11 wins and a 3.49 ERA. Rodriguez has been the only consistent starter for Houston since Roy Oswalt departed and he has had an ERA of 3.60 or below for four straight seasons, but unfortunately has won more than 11 games just once during that span.His strikeouts have dipped a bit in each of the past three seasons and I think at age 35 his stats will start to regress a bit, so I'm not as high on him this year.If you are going to target an Astros starter, take a shot...

32 year old woman | Philadelphia, PA, USA | Seeking men 32-45 within 30 miles
We got no food, we got no jobs ... Our pets heads are falling off!!!
I'd describe myself as very adventurous; I love experiencing new places, be it a new restaurant or international city. I've traveled throughout Europe, making wonderful memories along the way with loved ones or new friends. If I'm not traveling I'm really looking forward to and/or planning my trip abroad. I also recently moved into center-city Philadelphia and I must say, it was one of my best decisions to date, so much so that I'm not sure I could ever move back to the 'burbs. I find such pleasure in biking to the grocery store, walking to work and even dragging my clothes to the laundromat blocks away. As much as I enjoy going out, I love pouring a glass of wine and making dinner after a long day at the office. I'd also describe myself as very ambitious. Currently I manage an office in center city and teach history as an adjunct at Chestnut Hill College where I've proudly taught since 2009. I'm looking for a great connection. Please drop me a line if you'd like to know more and thanks for stopping by ;)

If you believe MTV, then the future of animation may have arrived in the shape of their new adaptation of Robert Kirkman's superhero soap opera Invincible, coming to televisions, cell phones and iPods near you soon. Thing is, we can't help but feel that we've seen it all before.
MTV's executive vice president of new media, David Gale, is ready to make the new animated venture sound like a breakthrough:
I like to think of it as cinematic comics - digital cinematic comics... I think it's important that in this age you really give the freedom to the consumer. If all you do is put it on a Web site and ask for them to find it, it's very challenging. I also think the evolution of download-to-own is becoming such an expected format for people to get content.
But just what is this cross-platform cartoon? The New York Times explains:
The process starts with digital scans of the actual comic book pages. They are turned into an audio-visual experience through a process called Bomb-xx developed by Gain. In the end, the formerly two-dimensional comic book suddenly pulses with music, while word balloons pop up and fill in as actors recite the dialogue and panels zoom in and out and pivot in all directions.
Yes, that's right; it's someone reading a Flash-animated comic to you. With music.
A Comic Book Superhero Is Headed to Small Screens [New York Times]

If you think that a movie set within the confines of Formula 1 racing is boring, think again. 'Rush' an independent film by director Ron Howard roars onto the big screen. It is the story of the rivalry of two titans of the racing industry, Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl ) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth).
'Rush' provides an intimate look into the lives of these racing professionals whose ideals often collided. Each were the exact opposite in character, however both had the same passion to become the best race car driver. In fact, both Lauda and Hunt turn their backs on their families' wealth and sought out a less than stellar profession.
Hunt was the flamboyant playboy rock star who lived and partied hard. He was known to smoke, drink and seduce his way on and off the track. Despite, his wreckless attitude, Hunt was born to race.
In contrast, Niki Lauda was the cautious perfectionist who aspired to be the best at anything he chose. His drive for continuous improvement allowed him to excel on the track.
It's ironic that Hemsworth is playing a god of the track since he is known for his hammer work as 'Thor. ' But, he delivers a great performance as the larger than life Hunt. His piercing blue eyes coupled with a devil may care attitude seem to authenticate his character.
Brühl is spectacular as Niki Lauda. His portrayal of this straight forward character and perfectionist attitude is humorous at times. In fact, it is his no nonsense qualities that are endearing. He brings a depth and heart to this complex character.
Just as the film contrast the lives of Hunt and Lauda, it also looks into the women who love these great men. Olivia Wilde is Hunt's model wife (whom he married on a whim) who tries her best to love this complex man. Her character is the epitome of 70s fashion. But she is less supportive of Hunt's career. Unfortunately, their marriage is doomed due to his racing obsession and inattentiveness (She leaves him for an older actor -- Richard Burton).
Alexandra Maria Lara is cast as Marlene Lauda. She is the encouraging wife that allows Lauda to be the best. Lara adequately portrays the stoic and mature Marlene. For example, when Niki suffers third degree burns and struggles to return to racing, it is Marlene who quietly supports his decision.
The cinematography of Anthony Dod Mantle creates breathtaking views of the racing world. At times, the audience is close enough to be a member of the Formula 1 pit crew. Your heart speeds up and your breathing becomes labored as you immerse yourself in this story. (Note: engines are loud and the sounds echoed in the theater are deafening at times.)
Even if you are not interested in racing, this is a great story filled with love and drama.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Time passes so quickly in Open Source that you can easily
trip over all the milestones if you don't watch where you're walking. Although this is definitely more agreeable than what you'll trip over in Closed Source, dancing around all the momentous beginnings and endings is always a challenge. We have one of those milestones this month. Because this event is much mentioned and little analyzed, I'll take a crack at it. I'm talking about the appearance of the Linspire free version known as Freespire. You'll find a review of Freespire in our Reviews section, as well as a news bit on it in this month's Software News. What's the big deal about another free Linux distro from a consumer-end corporate supplier? In truth, I don't think there is really a big technical story with Freespire, but we should at least mark this moment as the end of an experiment.

The geometry on a step 3 Grushin model
- In this article we study the geometry associated with the sub-elliptic operator ½ (X²1 +X²2), where X1 = ∂x and X2 = x²/2 ∂y are vector fields on R². We show that any point can be connected with the origin by at least one geodesic and we provide an approximate formula for the number of the geodesics between the origin and the points situated outside of the y-axis. We show there are in¯nitely many geodesics between the origin and the points on the y-axis.

"Annexation to a city" means expanding the city's boundaries to include more territory. Annexation results in extending city services, city regulation, city voting privileges, and city taxing authority to the annexed territory. "Territory" is the term generally used to describe land in cities, while "area" generally refers to the land in boroughs.
Any proposed boundary change, including annexation, must be approved by the Local Boundary Commission ("LBC" or "commission"). State law requires certain standards be met, and certain procedures be followed in order for the commission to approve a proposed annexation. In other words, the mere filing of a petition does not ensure that the proposed annexation will occur. If the LBC approves the petition, in most cases, either the voters need to approve it, or the Legislature must not disapprove it for the annexation to take effect. (see "Petition Methods" below for more information).
Annexation requires a large commitment of time and resources. Before any decision is made to begin work on an annexation petition, a lot of thought should be given to the need for annexation as well as which method to use. This document provides basic information about city annexation; however, annexation is a complex matter that cannot be covered completely in this brief overview.
Who can provide information regarding annexation to cities?
There is a Local Boundary Commission staff. The LBC staff is located within the Division of Community and Regional Affairs. That division is within the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development. The staff is available to provide technical assistance, petition forms, and sample annexation materials to anyone interested in petitioning, and is available to provide materials and information to those interested in responding to a petition. The staff also provides general information to any other interested individuals or groups.
If an individual or group does not want annexation, will the state provide information to them?
Yes. LBC staff will provide information about how to submit comments, or how to submit a responsive brief. Submitting a responsive brief allows any interested party to be identified as a "respondent" in the annexation proceeding. Being identified as a respondent provides certain procedural rights at the commission's public hearing. These rights include being able to present witnesses and to give opening and closing arguments. The staff can also explain the standards and procedures.
Why do cities seek to annex?
Some cities seek to annex in order to include people or other property owners who want to be within the city. Other cities seek to annex so that facilities such as a harbor or power plant are within city boundaries. Still other cities seek to annex to gain more tax revenue.
Who can start an annexation petition?
A petition for annexation may be started by:
What is the procedure for annexation?
Most petitions come from either municipalities (boroughs and cities) or citizens. The petitioner drafts the petition, proposes the boundaries, and, if the petition is initiated by citizens, gathers signatures. If the petition is initiated by a municipality, then the proposed boundary change would first need to be discussed at a publicly-noticed city council meeting. People can attend such a meeting, or otherwise make their views known to the potential petitioner. It is possible that such input could result in a petition not being filed, or filed with different boundaries. When a petition is submitted, the LBC staff first performs a technical review which verifies that the petition includes everything necessary and required by statutes and regulations, rather than performing an analysis of the merits of the petition. If the petition does not include all of the necessary information, the staff sends it back to the petitioner to complete. If a petition is accepted for filing, there is a publicly-noticed opportunity for the public to submit for written comment. A person or entity can also become a "respondent." A respondent has the opportunity to file a brief in response to the petition, and to present witnesses at the hearing. This gives a respondent the opportunity for greater input before the commission.
Next, the staff analyzes the petition to see whether it meets the standards or not. In doing so, it considers the petition, briefs, and comments submitted. The staff then issues a public report with its findings. People can comment on that report, and say why they feel the report is correct or incorrect in its findings. The staff considers those comments, and then issues a second report with its findings. The findings could change from the first report based on the comments submitted.
After public notice, the commission will hold its hearing, and parties can present witnesses, and the public has an opportunity to speak. After the hearing, the commission will carefully consider all of the testimony, materials and comments submitted in determining whether the petition meets the standards. It will then approve, amend, or deny the petition.
A petition generally takes about a year before the LBC holds the hearing and issues a decision, mainly because of the extensive opportunity for public comment, and because of the two written reports by staff analyzing the petition. A "unanimous consent" petition (see below) can take much less time.
Petition Methods
State law establishes procedures for several different types of annexation by legislative review (authorized by Alaska's constitution) or by local action (authorized by statute):
Local Action:
Legislative Review
How does a potential petitioner decide what method of annexation to use?
The petitioners can choose the method used. If all owners of property and registered voters in a territory want annexation, then annexation by unanimous consent of owners and resident voters would likely be the annexation method to use. If the "unanimous consent" method does not apply, then the petitioners can choose either the local action by vote method, or the legislative review method. The commission may change the method used.
Is there a limit on the size of the territory that a city may annex?
There is no specific size limit. Cities are community-based municipal governments rather than regionally based. The average Alaskan city is about 30 square miles. The Alaska Administrative Code (3 AAC 110.130) generally prohibits cities from annexing entire geographic regions, or large unpopulated areas. In most cases, the territory proposed to be annexed must be next to the city proposing the annexation.
What are the standards the LBC uses to reach a decision?
Certain regulatory standards (3 AAC 110.090-3 AAC 110.130) apply to proposed annexations. The standards concern:

Long Island schools put their budgets up for vote Tuesday. Most school districts hope to increase their tax levies at or just below the 2% cap on property tax increases that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law in 2011.
Four Suffolk schools are attempting to exceed that cap: West Babylon, Sayville, East Hampton, and Bridgehampton. Officials say the districts received less state school aid than they were hoping and so piercing the cap is necessary.

Henrico wins 22 national awards for programs
Henrico County recently received 22 Achievement awards from the National Association of Counties (NACo), more than any Virginia county and sixth-most nationally. The awards were announced at the 2011 NACo annual conference, held July 15-19 in Portland, Ore.
The NACo Achievement Award Program recognizes groundbreaking county government programs annually in a broad range of service areas, including education, administration, parks and recreation, health and human services.
Henrico now has led Virginia counties in NACo Achievement awards for six straight years. The county trailed only major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, San Diego and Miami Dade counties in the 2011 competition. Henrico programs have received 171 NACo awards since 2000.
NACo honored Henrico programs developed and implemented by 11 county agencies. Programs and agencies receiving awards were:
• "Victim Restitution Information Processing System (RIPS)," Community Corrections; an automated tracking system for restitution payments by criminal offenders, RIPS significantly reduced the time needed to deliver payments to victims and helped the agency collect a record amount of restitution last year;
• "Homeowners' Enhancement Guide," Community Revitalization; this comprehensive 138-page handbook — also available on disk and online — provides illustrations, diagrams, checklists and other resources to help homeowners modernize their aging homes;
• "Enhancing the Business License and Personal Property Audit Program," Finance; this effort streamlined the process for reviewing business tax returns, enabling staff to conduct more audits and increase revenue by 160 percent over the previous year;
• "Managing Debt Service Expenditures During an Economic Downturn," Finance; Henrico refinanced existing debt four times over a 15-month period, generating debt-service savings of more than $17.7 million at the height of the recession;
• "Get Connected, Stay Connected," Human Resources; this program assessed the technology skills of all 4,000 general government employees to facilitate implementation of the automated Human Resources Management System;
• "The Henrico County Games," Human Resources; part of an ongoing effort to promote wellness among county employees, this interdepartmental competition included a tug-of-war, two-mile run and mental skills challenge with 13 teams of employees participating;
• "Supporting Employee Resiliency During Turbulent Times," Human Resources; this initiative offered employees classes and other resources to help manage stress stemming from the recession;
• "An Approach for Reducing Telecommunications Costs," Information Technology; staff developed a web-browser based system that created a telecommunications database, enabling detailed analysis of costs and saving more than $1 million last year;
• "Innsbrook Area Study," Planning; combining technology, public input and traditional land-use study methods, this project created a redevelopment plan for the Innsbrook Corporate Center to help it adapt to the recession and changing market conditions;
• "P.E.A.K. — Police, Educators and Kids," Police; an educational and crime-prevention program for students grades K-5, this initiative also works to develop positive relationships between police officers and young people;
• "The 400th Anniversary Notable Henricoans Database," Public Library; part of the county's quadricentennial commemoration, this online resource provides information about 130 deceased residents who played a key role in Henrico history;
• "Tourist Information Center," Recreation and Parks; the opening of this state-accredited facility — Henrico's first — was timed to promote the county's 400th anniversary activities as well as the variety of Henrico attractions;
• "Accessing Health Care and Enhancing Education," Schools; designed to boost student attendance by increasing the availability of health care, the Family Access to Medical Insurance Security program provides a variety of health services for up to 3,500 students;
• "Big Nurse, Little Nurse," Schools; this mentoring program connects first-year and more experienced students in the Henrico County-St. Mary's Hospital School of Practical Nursing program to enhance learning opportunities;
• "Career Café," Schools; this initiative provides high school and adult GED students access to extensive career information;
• "Certification of CTE Students: Ensuring a Competent Workforce," Schools; the Career and Technical Education (CTE) department created Virginia's first credential testing coordinator position to develop a testing process for its students;
• "Henrico 21: Training for Teaching in the 21st Century," Schools; teachers submitted more than 600 lesson plans highlighting the use of technology in teaching and learning to an expert review panel; the top lessons were recognized and distributed online systemwide;
• "On the Sidelines with Sports Medicine," Schools; students in sports medicine classes gained hands-on experience by working directly with coaches, athletic trainers and activity directors at their high schools;
• "Project Homeless Connect," Schools; cosmetology students and teachers from Hermitage and Highland Springs technical centers provided more than 100 free haircuts for the area's homeless residents at this annual support event;
• "Teachers for Tomorrow Annual Institute," Schools; this one-day, countywide annual event introduces students in the honors-level Teachers for Tomorrow course to professional development and leadership-building activities;
• "Virginia Randolph Knights Give Back," Schools; students learn about community service firsthand by participating in full-day field trips that support projects in the Henrico community;
• "Henrico DSS Title IV-E Quality Assurance Team," Social Services; organized to provide oversight and quality-assurance review of federal and state funding of foster care programs for youth, this effort has significantly reduced Social Services' exposure to financial risk.
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.
'Proof of Heaven' coming to Glen Allen
Dr. Even Alexander, a New York Times best-selling author who has been featured on Oprah and Dr. Oz, was in town last week to promote his June 27 talk, "Proof of Heaven," at Glen Allen High School.
Alexander (pictured, at right, while Unity of Bon Air church member Harry Simmons interviews him) has written about what he considers to be his journey through the afterlife.
Tickets to this month's event are $25 and will support the new Bon Secours Hospice House being built later this year. > Read more.
A triumphant return
Pixar's 'Inside Out' is a magnificent, emotional ride
Explaining the nuts and bolts of Pixar's new, exciting, innovative Inside Out – really digging into the film's shape-and-color explanation of the human mind – would take up the entirety of this review. And probably three or four more (if movies had instruction manuals, Inside Out's would be the size and general poundage of a cinder block).
It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

US mutual insurer Nationwide has asked Morgan Stanley to conduct a strategic review of Gartmore following weeks of speculation that the latter may be put up for sale.
Nationwide acquired Gartmore from UK's NatWest bank in 2000. Gartmore would only confirm that the strategic review is taking place, but suitors may already be preparing their bids to acquire the fund manager, which includes the UK-based AlphaGen range of single strategy funds.
Lehman Brothers, which has made no secret of its desire to acquire a European fund manager and hedge fund assets, and giant UK fund manager Schroders are being mooted as possible buyers, but the list will be much longer if the strategic review of Gartmore concludes with a decision to sell.
Gartmore's AlphaGen range of single strategy hedge funds, developed under Martin Phipps, currently has USD 6.25 billion in assets under management.

What is it?
The Up is VW's smallest new car and an altogether more serious stab at building a proper city car that we'll actually want to buy. Volkswagen has taken its creation very seriously, and, remarkably, intends this to be its biggest-selling model globally. They'll sell more of these than the Golf.
But rather than making the Up a scaled-down version of its larger cars – as it has done in the past – the Up takes a much more intelligent approach. It;s this that's key to its appeal, and is the reason why you may even choose one over a Volkswagen Polo.
The Up offers a choice of two petrol options, either 60bhp or 75bhp versions of the same 1.0-litre three-cylinder motor. Whichever level you go for, the engine delivers a throaty and likeable rasp, somewhat at odds with its sensible personality, and performs well in its natural habitat. The five-speed manual gearbox is fine too, with a positive action: much better than the optional (and very jerky) automated manual. New for 2014 is an all-electric Up, which we've yet to drive: it'll be fascinating to discover how successful the switch from petrol to electric has been. Our expectations are high.
The Up is a city car, so it has to be easy to drive, and Volkswagen has given its new baby light steering and controls. The ride is good too, and, unlike most other cars in the class, it's more than capable of tackling a long motorway stint. Refinement and stability are both class leading.
On the inside
The Up has quite a simple cabin, with a dashboard that matches the exterior colour of the car. The plastics are good in the areas where your eyes and hands spend the most time, while the cabin is generously proportioned: even six-footers will be comfortable up front, and, thanks to some clever packaging in the rear, the two back seat passengers won't grumble too much, either. The five-door adds to the practicality, but the side design doesn't look as modern, even though this revised look improved visibility. Being a VW, it's all you would hope in terms of quality and an upmarket ambience, plus we also really like the optional Maps+More satnav system that clips into the dashboard.
Running costs will be very cheap in the VW Up. CO2 emissions dip below 100g/km on Bluemotion Tech models, which makes for free road tax, while fuel economy on all versions is parsimonious. Insurance and servicing are equally cheap... in contrast to the list price for that new e-Up EV. It's over £19,000, and that's after the Government grant is taken off! Wow...

I like to find great local places to go and hang out. It can be anything from a great beach to a fantastic restaurant. Exploring in your own back yard (or community) makes you appreciate how everyday things sometimes get missed in our busy lives
I enjoy movies that are unpredictable, music of all types especially if you can dance to it, I don't watch much TV but do like documentaries and political shows. Vegetarian food of any type, good wine and good company are a few of my favorite things
Playing with my kids, spending time outdoors any season. I like road trips, camping, walking in the woods, playing at the beach and anything on or near the water. A fun night out is friends and laughter or a sporting event & cold beer.

Conan O'Brien on FOX: 'Far From a Done Deal,' Manager Says
Sorry, Team Coco, but whispers that Conan O'Brien is inching ever closer to a late-night gig at FOX remain mere rumors. Big Red's manager told FOX News' Pop Tarts yesterday that the former 'Tonight Show' host's future is "far from a done deal."
"He is not even close [to signing a new contract]," manager Gavin Polone said. "I don't know where that's all coming from. We've met with a few places and been in talks, but nothing is even near being finalized."
NBC's $40 million contract buyout stipulates that O'Brien can't appear on television until September. According to Polone, that hasn't been much of an issue -- Conan has been offered a slew of movie roles, which he has turned down in lieu of his upcoming comedy tour.
"Everything is going extremely well, its all excitement right now," Polone told FOX. "And the loyalty of his fans has just been amazing."
Much of Conan's staff has been with him for nearly two decades, and many followed him from New York to L.A. when he took over 'The Tonight Show.' According to the FOX story, "O'Brien is so determined to keep his close-knit work family that he's even been paying a number of staffers from his own pocket to keep them on-board until he finds a new network home."
We hope he finds that home soon, but the comedy tour -- heck, his Twitter alone -- is enough to keep our patience intact.

Conan, not funny at all. His skit is a nerdy, hyperactive brat kid that has absolutely no talent at all. His move to the tonight show was the reason Letterman moved to the top rating. Leno is now back & he has replaced Letterman with the top rating, again. Conan, well, he is gone, for good I hope! Let him go do standup in the bars where the alcohol will mask his total lack of humor. Might be dangerous for him though!

If you don't like a TV entertainer, change the channel to something that you do like. That is why the USA has such uplifting potential. Acceptance and tolerence in all areas. Make a return to love, not vitriol.

- Sunday 28 MarchBy tvwarmupguy
Conan will find another home on broadcast tv. Team Coco has proven that NBC should have canned Jimmy Fallon and brought back Conan.
Ideally... here's the FOX Line-up: Conan at 11P; Kimmell at 12.
No one cares about the news any more. News programs are overkill, created because the creativity in television is gone, and local stations would rather put money in a newscast than something more important: LOCAL KIDS SHOWS.

Rather than using the implications of the accident to advance his own brand of Christianity, he offered comfort.
Christianity arrived in Sudan, about 125 miles northeast of Khartoum, with the eunuch minister of Queen Candice in 35 AD.
In his books, he asserted a revisionist thesis: Spanish Jews converted to Christianity willingly, not under duress.
c.1300, cristente, "Christians as a whole; state of being a Christian," from Old French crestienté "Christendom; spiritual authority; baptism" (Modern French chrétienté), from Church Latin christianitatem (nominative christianitas), noun of state from christianus (see Christian). Gradually respelled to conform with Latin. Christendom is the older word for it. Old English also had cristennes.
The religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, sent by God. They believe that Jesus, by dying and rising from the dead, made up for the sin of Adam and thus redeemed the world, allowing all who believe in him to enter heaven. Christians rely on the Bible as the inspired word of God. (See also gospel, Nativity, Resurrection, salvation, and Sermon on the Mount.)

Fran Drescher doesn't only support gay marriage, she's doing something about it.
No, she's not getting married to a woman!
The former Nanny star is cohosting a cocktail party tomorrow night with her ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, which benefits Equality California's fight to defeat Proposition 8, the November ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in California.
"I don't know if you realize this, but I'm a gay icon," Drescher joked with me earlier today. "But even if I weren't, I'm a political activist who believes in preserving the American dream which is tolerance of diversity and the separation of church and state…It's simply un-American not to be tolerant of different lifestyles. If you wanna live in a single-minded, religious-based country you're in the wrong place."
The fundraiser, which takes places at Jacobson's L.A.-area home, is expected to be a sell-out crowd of about 100 supporters shelling out at least $100 per person.
Teaming up with her ex to help support Equality California's "No on 8" campaign was a no-brainer for Drescher: "We're really good friends, and we're writing partners, and we have very similar beliefs in terms of ideology as well as theology."
Jacobson added, "It's not about being gay or straight…If two people are in love and they want to be married, they should have the right to do this."

Martin Sexton is one of the modern legends on the independent folk music circuit with loyal fans attuned to his every quip, and for good reason. Sexton is a powerhouse of sound. He can easily fill a room, and every heart therein, and he don't need no stinking band. This is a singer-songwriter who doesn't neglect the singer side of the equation; he's got a voice that'll grab you by the soul and demand both your attention and your heart. And if you never thought a Boston folkie's pipes could give Al Green a run for his money, think again as his vocal style can only be described as truly soulful, combining the best qualities of singers like Van Morrison, Al Green, Aaron Neville, and Otis Redding.
Founded in 2003, the 1,367-seat Bergen Performing Arts Center, or bergenPAC, is the area's cultural mecca. Housed in a historic Art Deco-style theater boasting one of the finest acoustic halls in the United States, bergenPAC attracts a stellar roster of world-class entertainment.

[Level adjusted] although I think I made it look worse, hahahah, anyway.
I like the first one & the third.
How are you with values? Being able to create form like roundness/sharpness with value/light. I'm still on the study with them, so, no comment.
The last one could use a check on foreshortening, but that pose looks hot.
[Her right bottom of butt cheek (does that make sense) is showing from that angle? else that whole thigh should be added with massed all around.]
The first 6 links on my sig are a definite look. (Well, for me anyway)
Keep up with the studies to help in that imagination.

my foreshadowing and foreshortening aren't all that great, as I just started empoying those techs in my work this year (in the 8 year I've been drawing, silly as it may sound)

- May 2013
Very spacious room and bathroom, probably much of sick/disabled use, the that directly beside it lying hospital need to visit. The internet worked for two days not, complaints were friendly but certainly 'smiled away' -nothing happened. The breakfast area is easily be separated from a bar/café, which also from the krankenhausbesuchern frequented, it was accordingly loud. The presentation of the food/drinks for a 4 star hotel unworthy (milk in tetrapak, coffee from the thermos can etc.). The tables were from the turngruppe, which previously breakfast, dirty-from the waiter was missing each trace after our room number for the hotel ... bill had. Theoretically you could prima behind the hotel parking, if the field not from inexplicable reasons parkverbotsschilder set up would be (somehow the pay garage were filled). read hotel review
