Camp Gallistella / Tent Colony

About the Collection
Located on Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin, Camp Gallistella, also known as the Tent Colony, was a temporary summer home for up to as many as 300 graduate students and their families. The colony existed between 1912 and 1962 and provided family housing in the form of camp sites and camp activities for graduate students, and their spouses and children. This unique housing practice ended in 1962 with the construction of Eagle Heights Apartments which served the same general demographic.
Through most of its existance, Albert and Eleanor Gallistel served as the Colony's on-site supervisors. Each summer from 1919 to 1959, the Gallistels moved from their in-town home to a cottage at the east end of the Colony. Over time, the Tent Colony became known as Camp Gallistella.
Camp Gallistella organized itself much like a city. Each summer the families elected a mayor, clerk, constable, sanitary commissioner, postmaster, newspaper editor, and several alderman. Conditions were rustic, akin to camping. For many years, electricity was available in the study halls only and individual tents were lit with kerosene lamps. The camp also employed a recreation director to supervise children's activities while parents attended class or performed campground chores.
The materials in this collection provide insight into this unique housing environment through photographs, maps, camp newsletters and other historic materials that document life at Camp Gallistella. This collection includes the following titles:

pills online in the usa.Submitted by JessicaW on October 22, 2010
The continuance of Fairfield University's annual celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) month was held on October 21st in the Creative Life commons where Gilbert Baker, creator of the rainbow flag, spoke to a crowded yet cozy audience.
Baker spoke about his life growing up in Kansas where he felt like an outsider. His escape was art and culture and he used them both to create his own little world he could survive in until he moved to San Francisco. There, he befriended Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to public office in California, who later came to be his very close friend and confidant. Milk inspired Baker, often pushing him to make signs and banners for next-day marches which he gladly produced thanks to his sewing hobby.
This sewing hobby transformed quickly into Baker's career as a vexillographer. He sees flags as being the 'soul of movements,' which he proved when he created the rainbow flag that debuted in the 1978 San Francisco Gay Pride Parade. Much after choosing rainbow colors for the flag, Baker discovered that the rainbow is the covenant between God and all living creatures, as stated in the Bible, which gave his flag new meaning. The 5,000 mini-flags that were produced for the parade were sold out in one hour, proving that the flag's initial importance and power was underestimated. After seeing what happened at the parade, Baker took his idea to the Paramount Flag Company in San Francisco to produce them at a much larger scale.
These flags were produced and sold worldwide. In 1994, Baker sat down in his room with his sewing machine and began to produce the then biggest flag in the world in memoriam of the 15th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots – to many a defining time that marked the start of the gay rights movement in the U.S. The flag was made from 10,000 yards of fabric, measured 1-mile long, and weighed 8,000 pounds. This gigantic piece of artwork was held up by members of the LGBT society on the streets of San Francisco before Baker ran through it with scissors, cutting pieces which were later given out and taken to different parts of the world.
Not only did Baker inspire us through the tales of his life and accomplishments, but also through his words and message which was very similar to that of Milk's. A great, unsung hero of the LGBT movement, Baker believes that all LGBT members share the same story. According to Baker, "There is one soul job that the LGBT society has: to change the world, and not by using politics, but by using art and culture." As a group, the LGBT community has been the last to claim their place in society, says Baker, and even though the road is still rocky today, he firmly believes that they are on the cusp of finally gaining acceptance and being embraced by the rest of society.

I have navigation based application. I have created a
UINavigationController in application
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions delegate method like this:
self.initialviewcontroller = [[InitialViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"InitialViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *myNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.initialviewcontroller];
self.window.rootViewController = myNavController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
In the
InitialViewController I have a button which will navigate to
SecondViewController. So, in the button's action I push the
SecondViewController as follow:
if(self.secondView != nil)
self.secondView = nil;
self.secondView = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.secondView animated:YES];
Situation : The navigation is working fine, I am able to navigate between
InitialViewController to
SecondViewController. When I am in
SecondViewController and press home button of device, the application is entered into background and when i reopen the app it opens the app from where I close it (i.e SecondViewController). Now if i press the back button to go to InitialViewController, the app is crashing.
It's working fine in the ios simulator, but crashes occurs on devices.
I didn't understand what the mistake I have done?
here is my error code

Miranda Cosgrove Throws a Party on 'High Maintenance' EP
Fresh off a tour, moving straight into recording a new 'iCarly' album and filming new episodes of the show, the actress-turned-chanteuse has her pretty little hands full. But it's what's to be expected from a lauded entertainer whose supporters pay attention to everything she says and does. To satisfy them, the self-professed Beatles fan divulges much about her new EP, reveals why she washes her face so much and chimes in on Miley Cyrus' antics.
How does this EP differ from the first album that you did, 'Sparks Fly'?
Well, every time I go into the studio I feel like I learn a lot more. So every time I record something it's a little more mature. Most of the music on this EP is more dance than the last CD. Also, I got to be a big part of it because usually I'm filming my show ['iCarly'] at the same time. The whole time I did this I was really focused on it and I got to work with a lot of new producers and people.
You mention 'High Maintenance' is one of your favorite songs on the EP. Why is that?
I loved getting to work with [Rivers Cuomo]. I've never done a duet or anything like that before -- just having somebody with you in the studio to play off of and work is really fun. He's a really cool guy. I've loved Weezer for such a long time and the music -- just to get to work with him is pretty crazy.
Speaking of 'High Maintenance,' the lyrics in the song say "So what if I break a few glasses, kick a few asses." Are some of your days like that?
Sure. I mean I think that's part of the fun of the song. In a way, I felt like I was playing a character because I'm definitely not that high maintenance but everybody has their moments where they kinda have a fit. It was fun to be in the studio and play that. The girl in the song is kinda a jerk so it was fun to get to be like that.
It's obvious you play a character when it comes to 'iCarly.' Do you ever feel that way with your music or does it come from a more honest place?
I think with most of the songs I do. Especially on the last album, some of the songs are about guys I had relationships with or stuff like that. When it's stuff like that, it's definitely coming from me but every once in a while I do a song that I wouldn't normally do. I think it's fun because you can take yourself out of your element for a second and just be something totally different.
On that note, are you a single 17-year-old?
Right now I don't have a boyfriend but I've had boyfriends before -- definitely some of the songs are about that. I think with this EP though most of the songs are just fun, dance songs. Like 'Dancing Crazy' is just about having fun and going out with your friends and 'High Maintenance' is mainly a silly song about this girl that is overly high maintenance and driving her boyfriend crazy. I wanted people to be able to pop the CD in and have a good time.
You recorded this EP without worrying about filming 'iCarly' simultaneously. How do you balance your acting and music career?
Yeah, it's hard when you're doing both. In a way, when I was doing my last album and I was filming at the same time, it was kind of nice because after work I would go to the studio. After playing a character all day it was nice to get to be in the studio and be myself. But it's also pretty cool to sit down and focus on one thing and really put you're all into it. I think that was nice -- just having six months to really do that.
You recently scored a Neutrogena contract. I read that it took you about 20 times to get the face splash right. Are you a perfectionist?
I guess with school, work and stuff I'm a little bit of a perfectionist -- not too bad. With [the Neutrogena commercial], it's funny because I actually did it like 40 times. It just takes a long time to get it right because they later put it in slow motion and make it look all cool. I just kept drenching myself with water then I'd go dry my hair and fix everything and do it again.
You've managed to keep a clean image, which is in contrast to a lot of other teen stars similar to you, like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato. What are your thoughts on their behavior or how their image is portrayed?
To be honest, I feel like I'm kind of lucky because I haven't had too much of that. Just with paparazzi [it] is so annoying. Sometimes [my friends and I will] go to a movie and paparazzi will be there but it's not something that happens to me every day -- and sometimes when it happens, it's tough, even the few times it's happened to me. So I feel like I totally understand where that would be just hard. I've been lucky where I don't get any of that
Are you more of a private person, making sure you're not in those types of situations where your business can be put out there?
I think that's part of it but it's kind of sad to think that you always have to be worried about somebody doing something like that -- like filming you or saying something. I think it's important to surround yourself with people you really trust, too. I've had the same friends for a long time. I just feel like I can tell them anything. I pretty much hang out with the same four or five people all the time, so I don't worry too much.

There goes any credibility Rivers Cuomo ever had. iCarly. Jesus.
- Friday 22 AprilBy Jessica
J. You're a douche! Miranda rocks and Rivers Cuomo can do whatever he wants and sing with whoever he wants. He's a very successful musician and if he felt like Miranda could bring something to a song and she was the best pick then that's his decision. Let me just ask you... have you even heard the song? I usually can't stand pop music I listen to bands like Sublime, Pepper, Rise Against, Chiodos, and anything I think sounds good but I LOOOVE that song High Maintenance! It's so much fun to listen to! Miranda rocks. Don't hate her because your band will never be good enough to play with Weezer!

Golf courses contracts under state scrutiny
Updated: Friday, November 8 2013, 07:51 AM EST
The New York Comptroller is investigating whether Monroe County taxpayers are losing out on millions of dollars of contracted services at three golf courses run by a private company.
"As a taxpayer you have to look at it and say 'I've paid for something, why am I not getting it?'" says Frank Choromankis, a golfer who has become a citizen watchdog.
At Durand Eastman Golf Course, golfers battle more than the sand traps. In places the fairway looks far worse than the rough. Some greens are spotty with disease.
The 18th fairway is dotted with craters.
"These holes are deep enough that if I stepped into them they would go above my ankles," said Eddie Gartz. He walks the course every day and has spent three years trying to find answers for his concerns.
He also plays the courses at Churchville and Genesee Valley and has documented similar problems. Problems which he says are getting worse.
"This is serious stuff," he said. "This is hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of damage that will have to be repaired someday."
13WHAM News has spent three months pouring over hundreds of pages of documents and contracts dating back to 1997. Our goal was to follow the money and find out who is looking out for taxpayer interests.
Since 1997, control and maintenance of the taxpayer-owned courses has been contracted out to a private company owned by Jack Tindale.
"I don't think they're following the maintenance standards that were set up in the contract," said former grounds keeper Jimmy Johnson. "It's pretty obvious to me."
Johnson learned grounds keeping from his father who ran all three courses when they were under the control of Monroe County. Johnson rose to the ranks of Superintendent at Churchville and when the contract went private, he signed on with the Tindale operation.
"I know the corners he was cutting because he didn't have the help," said Johnson, who is now retired. "In my professional opinion all of the courses are suffering from years of neglect." He adds, "Taxpayers didn't get what they (contracted) for and they'll have to pay (again) to fix it."
13WHAM News obtained the contracts approved first in 1997 and extended every five years afterward. They contain six pages of "regular" maintenance requirements including mowing, seeding, applying fertilizers, and pest and weed control.
The contract spells out that golfers should have access to a pro shop at each course and a restaurant.
Yet at Churchville, the pro shop is in the old restaurant. Only packaged snacks are available. Before the restaurant there was shut down, it struggled under Tindale.
Inspection records from the Monroe County Health Department cite refrigeration and sanitation issues including "food contaminated by rodent droppings." It failed the 2002 inspection and two additional re-inspections and re-opened only after managers were forced to get food safety training.
On several trips to Durand, 13WHAM News found the hot dog stand wasn't always open. But we did find a dog there. A very friendly bulldog appeared to have moved right in. He was able to come and go through a door that was propped open and his leash stopped just short of the human food.
Outside he had his own food and water dish and a swimming pool. We showed the photos to Parks Director Larry Staub.
"I am not aware of this and I will definitely have a conversation with our vendor over there," said Staub.
Staub sat down with us to look at the contracts.
He says bottom line: the arrangement benefits taxpayers.
"We get 19.5 percent of greens fees right off the top and we get five percent of all other sales right off the top," he said.
Yet critics see it another way. Monroe County taxpayers are giving up 80.5 Percent of greens fees and 95 percent of other sales as payment for everything that is spelled out in the 40 page contract. Each item in it has a value.
"They've paid for everything in the contract, unfortunately they're not getting everything in the contract," said Frank Choromanksis. He says the cost of those items adds up.
Both Choromanksis and Gartz are citizen watchdogs. They helped us pour over hundreds of pages of documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Law.
For starters, they say taxpayers have been cheated out of half a million dollars of permanent upgrades to the courses because the operator passed off regular maintenance as capital improvements.
"He can't have it both ways. It can't be a capital improvement and a maintenance item," says Choromanksis.
The idea that grass seed is not a capital improvement invoked the ire Parks Director Larry Staub.
"They say grass seed - ah ha!" he said. "Well take a little closer look at that. That's your green! That's your turf!"
And what about the provisions for the restaurant and pro shops? Staub said "You enforce what you think are the important things," adding "We have evolved the contract by mutual agreement."
"The county has entered into an agreement with a private individual who should be held accountable," said retired groundskeeper Jimmy Johnson. "I blame the county as much as I blame him."
Critics argue together these short cuts add up to a big short change for taxpayers and ultimately contribute to a larger question of whether Monroe County is exercising proper oversight. 13Wham News has learned those issues are at the heart of an audit underway by the New York Comptroller's Office.
Parks Director Larry Staub says he cannot comment on any potential audit. The results are expected to be released early next year.
Eddie Gartz met with auditors in October. "We the taxpayer need to get to the bottom of this," he said. "Something's wrong here."

While on South Caicos, my research was on establishing a baseline information guide for fisheries management on the finfish dock landings, and if Nassau Grouper in particular were being speared below the age of sexual maturity. After having an incredible experience down on South, I decided my senior independent research would be a meta-analysis of Epinephelus striatus looking at the ecological and evolutionary consequences of size-selection on Nassau grouper, and the affect spear fishing had on species composition and size.
Being a woman on South Caicos, was not always easy. I had to gain the respect of the men and the fishermen quite early on. However, I enjoyed these interactions. I can confidently say I met and knew very well about 100 people on South Caicos. In fact, I still get telephone calls from them, and we constantly chat on Facebook weekly. My interactions with these amazing people have completely reshaped my life and world view. I learned the health of an ecosystem is measured by the health of the community. These two are interchangeable. I also realized that a thriving subsistence culture does not have to be odds with sustainable development, but it requires effective local engagement. So as a result, federal and state governments should more actively use traditional ecological knowledge to honor traditional views and effectively manage natural resources.
What I loved about being with SFS was that it combined research and monitoring with outreach, and education. I learned it is just as much about the people and place, as it is the fish. Again, just as much about the people as it is the fish. I have always had a candid desire, and ability to work with people, and being on South Caicos allowed me to do just that.
After SFS, I finished my biology degree at Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster Pennsylvania, and applied to work for the Northeast Fisheries Branch as an At-Sea monitor for the U.S. Department of Commerce/NOAA and National Marine Fisheries Service. I was accepted into the program and just finished training a few weeks ago. I have been out to sea a few times already, collecting biological data on commercial fishing trips, for scientific and fisheries management purposes. The main objectives of the Fisheries Sampling Branch are to collect fishing, biological and economic data as well as document interactions with protected and endangered species. Data I collect is important in identifying the species and size selectivity of several marine fisheries in the Northeast, as well as quantify discard rates and annual catch entitlements per sector.
Without a doubt, my SFS experience contributed to where I am today. If I had never been on South Caicos, my views on fisheries management may never have been as clear to me as they are now. I am making a difference today. And while it may be only 1 commercial fishing trip at a time, it's something, and for now, that's enough.

(CNN) -- It's not a fun way to end a dream vacation.
Dozens of passengers on a four-night cruise aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship became sick with a stomach illness, according to a company statement.
The Majesty of the Seas docked in Miami Friday after a Caribbean journey that included port calls at Nassau and CocoCay, Bahamas, and Key West, Florida.
Sixty-six of the more than 2,500 passengers aboard experienced gastrointestinal issues, such as vomiting and diarrhea, Royal Caribbean International said.
Two of the more than 800 crew members also fell ill, the company said.
The cruise line suspects the cause to be norovirus, according to the company's statement.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta describes norovirus as a very contagious bug that can be spread by infected persons, in contaminated food or water, or through contact with contaminated surfaces. The CDC says norovirus affects nearly 20 million people in the U.S. each year, and results in between 570 to 800 deaths.
The cruise line said passengers affected by the illness had responded well to over-the-counter medication administered on board the ship.
The company said it enhanced cleaning on board the ship during the cruise to help prevent the spread of the illness.
After the ship docked, the company said it "conducted an extensive and thorough sanitizing on board the ship and within the cruise terminal, to help prevent any illness from affecting the next sailing."
Passengers who boarded The Majesty of the Seas Friday received a letter asking if they had experienced any gastrointestinal symptoms within the last three days. Those who felt uncomfortable were allowed to reschedule their trip, the cruise line said.
This is the latest setback to hit the cruise industry.
Last May, a fire broke out on the Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas cruise ship, forcing passengers to fly home.
In February, an engine-room fire left the Carnival Triumph adrift in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sunny Future
January 24, 2011 - Robert "Bubba" Kapral
I VIEW the solar farm project planned for Eastern Ohio as a bright idea, one that could be a financial windfall to the area. Any venture that may produce 600 new jobs is worth pursuing. Such is the case with the Turning Point Solar Farm targeted for Noble County, which won out against Muskingum and Morgan counties, respectively. Once completed, the solar farm will yield energy for AEP. A 20-year contract has already been finalized. I would like to think more projects could come to fruition. Why couldn't Belmont County house a similar solar farm? Clean energy is in demand. Solar farms are a perfect method to provide clean energy while also making hundreds of new job opportunities available. With the steel industry on life support, what is wrong with turning to the sun to help energize the local economy? Aggressive pursuit of such endeavors by local officials could turn the Ohio Valley into Sun Valley.

The United States strongly supports Iraq and its people as they face security challenges
Jen Psaki Department Spokesperson Washington, DC June 15, 2014 The United States strongly supports Iraq and its people as they face security challenges from violent extremists. The people of Iraq have repeatedly rejected violent extremism and expressed their desire to build a better society for themselves and for their children. The Embassy of the United States in Baghdad remains open and will continue to engage daily with Iraqis and their elected leaders - supporting them as they strengthen Iraq's constitutional processes and defend themselves from imminent threats. As a result of ongoing instability and violence in certain areas of Iraq, Embassy Baghdad is reviewing its staffing requirements in consultation with the State Department. Some additional U.S. government security personnel will be added to the staff in Baghdad; other staff will be temporarily relocated - both to our Consulate Generals in Basra and Erbil and to the Iraq Support Unit in Amman. Overall, a substantial majority of the U.S. Embassy presence in Iraq will remain in place and the Embassy will be fully equipped to carry out its national security mission. We advise U.S. citizens in Iraq to exercise caution and limit travel to Anbar, Ninawa, Salah ad-Din, Diyala, and Kirkuk provinces; make their own contingency emergency plans; and maintain security awareness at all times. We also encourage all U.S. citizens in Iraq to register with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at -

The Coast Guard is trying to locate the owner of a surfboard that was found about 2.5 miles southwest of Diamond Head Thursday.
Authorities have received no report of a person in distress. The surfboard, with a broken leash, was found by the crew of a 45-foot response boat from Coast Guard Station Honolulu, who were conducting training in the area.
The surfboard is green and burgundy, 9 feet 6 inches long, with the words "Island Classic" on it.
The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Galveston Island, a 110-foot patrol boat homeported in Honolulu, and an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point are assisting with the search.
Anyone with information regarding the surfboard or its owner is asked to contact the Coast Guard Sector Honolulu command center at 842-2600.

For The Children, a Tulane Center for Public Service community outreach program, has provided academic assistance to hundreds of students in low-performing uptown New Orleans public schools since 1994.
VanDenburgh's community service was recognized by former President George W. Bush in New Orleans in January 2006. (Photo by USA Freedom Corps)
January 27, 2012
Michael Ramos
Daisy Meriwether VanDenburgh (NC '55) never realized her community service would be recognized by the president as Air Force One landed in New Orleans in January 2006. For nearly 20 years, VanDenburgh quietly made an impact on dozens of lives through Tulane's For The Children reading program. Earning recognition for her service and generosity not only from grateful students and teachers, but also from President George W. Bush, VanDenburgh has proven an inspiring example for the Tulane and New Orleans communities.
"You get much more than you give," she explains. "I always thought one of the most important things a person can do is help children learn to read and, more importantly, to enjoy books. One of the pleasures in life, after all, is reading a good book."
For The Children, a Tulane Center for Public Service community outreach program, has provided academic assistance to hundreds of students in low-performing uptown New Orleans public schools since 1994. Each school houses a reading room with a comfortable sofa and a library of books and class materials. In 2011, the program welcomed a record 413 volunteers who logged a combined average of 700 hours per week at two local schools.
VanDenburgh earned her master's in education from Tulane in 1970 and went on to serve first as a teacher and, later, as coordinator of Newcomb Nursery School for nearly 30 years. Upon retiring in 1997, she looked for ways to continue making an impact and immediately volunteered with For The Children, working individually with the children of James Lewis, Lafayette, Sophie B. Wright and Benjamin Banneker schools.
"We are the children's reading buddies," she says. "You get to know them and can zero in on their interests to help them learn faster. One boy really got into the Saints and we read sports news together. Another child was interested in families, and we read 'Little Women.' You develop a nice relationship with the child because you can be their friend and listen to what they have to say."
As the years passed, VanDenburgh grew ever more enthusiastic about the program, recruiting several of her friends to the cause and pledging generous yearly gifts to support its continued success.
"I believe in what we're doing," she says. "I can see how it works."
One day, in 2006, after word of her devotion and eagerness to serve her community spread, she received a special surprise.
"I was coming back from Houston and got a call that I was in the running for the president's volunteer service award. 'What president? What are you talking about?' I asked. It was so exciting! I certainly didn't expect that when I first began with the program."
VanDenburgh received the award directly from President Bush, who personally thanked her for making a difference in so many children's lives, in a ceremony at Louis Armstrong International Airport.
After reflecting on her service, however, VanDenburgh noted that she has received other rewards just as, if not more, special.
"I guess the president's award was the nicest, but one of the teachers made me a certificate of appreciation and framed it for me. It made me feel really good. Also, one of the children who had been my reading buddy in second grade graduated this year from Loyola. He let me know, and I was very proud."
In the end, VanDenburgh says she is no different from any other volunteer participating in the Center for Public Service's numerous outreach programs.
"I don't want to make it too big a deal. I've seen so many people who have done so much more. I feel there are so many who have been wonderful volunteers. I am just in the right place at the right time with the right program."

Deira City Centre
Giant shopping mall is still one of Dubai's finest all-rounders Discuss this article
Before the onslaught of new mall openings and extensions, Deira City Centre used to be the mother of all shopping malls. Although it doesn't hold the coveted number one spot in Dubai's shoppers' hearts, it still attracts a large crowd; especially now it boasts a new extension. For such a vast mall it's surprisingly simple to navigate, with giant hypermarket Carrefour dominating the first floor. The mall also contains plenty of corridors leading to miniature-themed courts including the Jewellery Court, Textile Court and Arabian Treasures, which sells carpets, antiques and gifts. Children can go wild in the sprawling amusement centre, Magic Planet. There's also a cinema.

AdrianConditioner For Thinning HairThis conditioner is rich, thick, and creamy. It lathers well and rinses out easily. Its scent is similar to the Osmotics Revitalizing Shampoo that I used together with this product. Although it seems like a decent conditioner, I did feel that my hair started to feel drier than usual as I used it for several weeks. My hair is long and I am used to using very moisturizing conditioners. This may be less of a concern if restoring thinning hair is someone's main goal.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

The Spread of Malevolence (1997)
Mike Matei / December 16th, 1997
April 11, 2010 at 12:54 pm
In this film I liked the buildup of suspense, James. The majority of the film I was conjuring up what twisted thing that skull could be causing. I liked the absence of dialogue (the whole film could have been without it). Sometimes silence speaks louder than words, and it certainly adds momentum to the suspense.Luis Enrique Alfonso Rubio

Aidonia embraces Rastafari
Aidonia captivates the fans at Reggae Sumfest at Catherine Hall, Montego Bay, St James, on Dancehall night. - Adrian Frater
... Deejay says no more war
After almost 10 years as a hardcore deejay, delivering some of dancehall's biggest hits and being involved in lyrical feuds with several artistes, Aidonia appears to have had a spiritual awakening and is now on a new musical journey.
The entertainer, who donned a military-themed ensemble with Rastafarian embellishments at the recently held Reggae Sumfest, says he is now a different man and that the contentious persona associated with him is now in the past.
"At this stage in my life, I am trying to teach the youths that we don't need anybody else to venture down that warpath because there is nothing good at the end. Right now, we dealing with love and unity. It's about making music to feed yourself, feed your family and your friends, uplift yourself and everybody. I have no time to war with anybody," a release sent to THE STAR yesterday stated.
According to Aidonia, he has been grappling with his spirituality for sometime, but it was the birth of his son that was the crescendo for change. He added that his spiritual transition will be gradual, highlighting that he has already purged meat from his diet.
Following his revelation, Aidonia has released the conscious effort, One Heart, which has been enjoying premium rotation on the radio airwaves. He is also gearing up to shoot music videos for Coco Powda and Love Off You Gyal.
In the coming weeks, he's also expected to roll out his apparel line for the summer. The collection, dubbed 1Voice or 1V, will cater to both males and females with a line for children to follow.

Video conferencing is gaining popularity among small and large businesses alike, and according to a recent article in Network World, it has good reason to.
Video conferencing is already a key part of the infrastructure of many companies, and now a survey by Webtorials is revealing just how it is used. About 77 percent of video conferencing users already have access to a dedicated system in a conference room, while 53 percent enjoy many of the same benefits using a PC-based system in their office.
While scheduled conferences with clients and partners continues to be the main use of video conferencing technology, there is also a growing need for ad hoc and intra-company video conferencing that allows different people within the same organization to stay in touch.
However, not all businesses are on board with video conferencing technology. Among the obstacles cited by businesses who didn't use the technology were video conferencing included equipment costs, the requirement of having to go to a special room to use video conferencing and the cost of bandwidth.

Copia: The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts[a] was a cultural museum and education center in Napa, California, dedicated to wine, food and the arts in American culture. The center celebrated its opening on November 18, 2001[1] and closed on November 21, 2008.
Copia was a non-profit center that offered visitors wine and food tasting programs, exhibitions, organic edible gardens, films, concerts, dining, and shopping. Julia Child lent her support to the venture which established a restaurant named Julia's Kitchen. Proceeds from ticket sales, membership and donations attempted to support Copia's payoff of debt, educational programs and exhibitions, but eventually were not sufficient.
In 1988, vintner Robert Mondavi, his wife Margrit Mondavi, and other leaders in the wine community began to explore the idea of establishing a small institution in Napa County to educate, promote, and celebrate American excellence and achievements in the culinary, winemaking, and visual arts arenas.
Partner organizations included the University of California at Davis, the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, and the American Institute of Wine & Food. In 1993, Robert Mondavi acquired the land for Copia for $1.2 million, followed by a lead gift of $20 million.[2] James Polshek was hired by the foundation as the architect for the building in October 1994. Subsequently, the "Founding Seventy," key supporters from Napa Valley and the surrounding Bay Area, made substantial donations. Initial financing totaled $50 million which was leveraged against $78 million in bond debt financing prior to opening in 2001. Construction of the facility triggered a significant growth in development of a gourmet marketplace, hotels and restaurants in downtown Napa. [3]
Although the facility did attract visitors, the local resident's support failed to materialize in the numbers expected by the founders.[4]
Original projections of attracting 300,000 admissions per year proved to be far too optimistic. In September 2008 Copia CEO Garry McGuire announced that 24 of 85 employees were being laid off and the days of operation would be reduced from 7 to 3 per week.[5] Attendance figures had never reached either original or updated projections, causing the facility to operate annually in the red since its opening. In November, he announced that the property would be sold due to unsustainable debt.[6] Copia temporarily closed in late November 2008 with approximately $80 million in debt, and then filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 1. The federal bankruptcy court blocked a $2 million emergency loan with priority in security, leaving Copia with no funds to resume operations. Consequently, the organization announced in late December that it was closing its doors for good.[7]
Following the 2008 closing of Copia, a group of investors, developers, advocates, and vintners named The Coalition to Preserve Copia was formed to explore a plan to preserve the building and grounds.[8] Part of the group's plan included forming a Mello-Roos district with participation of local hotel properties to finance bonds to purchase the property but their effort failed.[9]
In May 2009 local developer George Altamura spoke about his interest in purchasing the property.[10] Other developers including The Culinary Institute of America also expressed an interest in acquiring the property. Copia's bond holder; ACA Financial Guaranty Corporation listed the property for sale in October 2009.[11]
In the period following the closing of the center, the iconic copper pots and pans belonging to Julia Child were removed from the restaurant named after her and sent to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History, where they are included in the Julia Child's kitchen exhibit. Napa Valley College's upper valley campus became the home of the center's library of over 1000 cookbooks. By late 2010, local chefs had revived the center's garden and the parking lot had become the location of a weekly farmer's market.[12] In an April 2012 auction, most of the center's fixtures, furniture, equipment, wine collection (over 3500 bottles), dinnerware, displays, artistic items, and antiquities were sold.[13]
As of mid-2013, the building, including its theater, had been used, since Copia closed, for a few meetings and events, including the Napa Valley Film Festival and BottleRock. In May 2013, plans to modify part of the former gallery on the second floor of the museum, to convert it to commercial office space, were rejected by the Napa Planning Commission.[14] Triad Development arranged to buy the site in 2015 and planned mixed use with housing and retail.[15]
Copia included 13,000 square feet (1,200 m2) of gallery space for exhibitions of art and culinary history and science; a 260-seat theater for films and lectures; a rare-books library; classrooms with audio-visual capabilities; a 74-seat demonstration kitchen forum; a gourmet dining room named for honorary trustee Julia Child, which featured a dramatic open finishing kitchen; a tasting table with an expansive selection of wines from across the United States; a 700-seat outdoor concert terrace; a café; a museum gift shop; and three and one-half acres of landscaped organic edible gardens for hands-on learning about soils, farming, and viticulture. There was also ample parking in two parking lots with a total 341 parking spaces.
The Design Architect of the original Copia project was Polshek Partnership Architects; Architect of Record was Fong & Chan. The Landscape Architect was Peter Walker & Partners. Auerbach Consultants provided theatre consulting and Copia's interior and architectural lighting design.

Three Irish beers that are NOT Guinness for St. Patrick's Day
Published on March 6th, 2014 | by Mackensie Smith
Three Irish beers that are NOT Guinness for St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day in Des Moines means parading about in green, rousing a wee bit of ruckus and bellying up with an Irish brew. Whether you're paying homage to heritage or good times in general, the drink of choice could make or break the holiday.
In 1759 a man named Arthur Guinness began brewing beer in Dublin. The hearty dry namesake stout with a 4.2 percent ABV fills 1.8 billion cups a year. So, if Guinness is your go-to for St. Patty's Day, you're not alone. If you're looking to defer from conformity for a round or two to wet your palette with an alternative just-as-Irish beer, head to The Royal Mile.
The UK-inspired pub serves up a few Irish beers on tap and in the bottle. Manager Rob Jackson, 38, said the bar's Irish libations are based on what they can get into the state. Struggles come from having to import through the state as Iowa is one of 18 states that maintain control over alcohol beverage distribution.
"We're definitely trying to import more beers from Ireland, Scotland and the UK," Jackson said. "Plus, it's hard because breweries in the UK and Ireland tend to be too small for the production needed."
Despite a lack of diverse Irish beer offerings in the Des Moines metro, you should at least give these three a taste test. Sláinte!
Magners Irish Cider
Looking for a lighter, gluten-free intro into St. Patrick's Day drinking? Start sipping a Magners Irish Cider, the only Irish beer currently on tap at The Royal Mile. Fresh to the taste, Magners swirls smoother on the tastebuds than its popular cider cousin, Strongbow. The tap eliminates the metal undertones that sometimes come from canned cider. Produced in Clonmel, Ireland, Magners is the sweet product of 17 different varieties of fermented apples. Note, if you're going to Ireland, look for the product under the name of Bulmers Irish Cider.
Price: $4.50
Wexford Irish Cream Ale
Maybe it's the cream finish or the fact that this can of ale is brewed using the original 1810 family recipe of Irish malt and hops, but either way this this thick, mellow amber ale is best when getting into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. Brewed now in Suffolk, England, the beer's namesake is derived from Ireland's County Wexford. The can has a small widget of nitrogen that gives it a traditional pub taste and creamy burst when poured. Make sure to savor, but don't let it sit too long. The sticky white head and caramel notes mix for a sweet, dark sensation with little aftertaste.
Price: $4.75
Harp Lager
Throw back a bottle of Harp if you're looking for a refreshing follow-up to a milky Irish stout. It starts off bitter at the beginning of the bottle, but once it sits and warms a bit, the malty flavors pop. The golden macro lager is brewed by Diageo (formerly Guinness Ltd.) in Dundalk, Ireland. If you like easy lagers this standard fits the bar bill — not that interesting, but no surprises.
Price: $4

How to Tell if You Are Depressed
Three Methods:Recognizing the SymptomsExplaining the Difference Between Depression and the BluesWhat to Do if You Think You Have Depression
Depression is a common psychological disorder that can greatly impact daily functioning. With both mental and physical symptoms, it can become overwhelming very quickly. Fortunately, with a little knowledge of the illness, it can be easily dealt with.
Method 1 of 3: Recognizing the Symptoms
1Diagnose the psychological symptoms. Depression manifests itself both physically and mentally, so it is important to identify the changes in your mental and emotional functioning first. These may include any of the following:
- Constant sadness
- Loss of interest or lack of enjoyment in daily activities
- Self deprecating thoughts
- Poor concentration
- Indecisiveness
- Anger or annoyance towards others
- Ruminating on negative thoughts
- Excessive worrying or anxiety [1]
2Identify any suicidal thoughts. Although suicidal thoughts are not necessary for a diagnosis of depression, they are a symptom of the illness. These may escalate into suicide attempts known as pseudo-suicide.
3Diagnose the physical symptoms. Depression results in a number of changes to your body and behavior. Doctors often recognize the following as being a result of the illness:
- Lethargy or fatigue
- Changes in sleep
- Changes in appetite and weight
- General slowness which can intensify into catatonia
- Lack of eye contact
- General withdrawal from social activities
- Tearfulness and recognizable sadness in expression [2]
4Write down a list of concerns. Making a list to take to the doctor can not only help you to organize your thoughts, but also aid the doctor in making an accurate diagnosis.
- List all symptoms you think you are suffering from, even if they may seem unrelated.
- Write down all medications you are taking, as they may be the cause of some of the symptoms. If possible, make a list of side-effects of each medication.
- Include a brief overview of mental illness in your family. Depression has ties to genetics, so having relatives that suffer from the illness could make you more likely as well.
- Give any live events or experiences that you feel may be the cause of your depression, as certain traumatic or anxiety-producing events can induce the disorder. [3]
Method 2 of 3: Explaining the Difference Between Depression and the Blues
1Understand that changes in your mental state are normal and likely to occur. Extreme changes, however, may be symptomatic of depression.
- Occasional sadness is a common experience and nothing to be worried about. However, chronic sadness and anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure) is likely an indication of depression.
- Extreme indecisiveness is a common symptom of clinical depression. This, different from being unsure of yourself, might be paralyzing anxiety at the thought of making a wrong decision.
- Changes in hobbies or activities of interest is natural to occur in a non-sufferer of depression. If however, these changes become permanent and result in a complete loss of interest or enjoyment, it may be a more serious symptom.
2Changing your behavior or different aspects of your body is not necessarily an issue related to your mental functioning.
- Small fluctuations in weight are typical of a healthy body. If these changes become more extreme in terms of weight loss or gain, it could be an indication of depression.
- Changes in appetite that result in major physical changes are problematic. This may include starvation or binge eating. Irregular cravings or changes in food preferences are no cause for alarm though.
- Chronic insomnia is correlated to a clinical diagnosis for depression. This means you have difficulty falling and staying asleep over an extended period of time, not just occasionally for one or two days.
3Examine the possibility of dysthymia. Dysthymia is a mild form of major depression lasting for a minimum of two years. Think of it as being the middle ground of major depression and the blues. [4]Ad
Method 3 of 3: What to Do if You Think You Have Depression
1Visit a local healthcare professional. If you are in any way unsure of your emotional state, visiting a doctor can help to verify a diagnosis or remove the fear of illness.
2Befriend a counselor or psychologist. Therapy is the most effective treatment for clinical depression, as it helps you to explore possible causes, overcome your negative feelings and insecurities, and begin to feel and behave normally again. Having a close relationship with your therapist can aid in expediting this process.
3Open up to a friend. Being honest about your problems can be cathartic for you and give your friend the opportunity to offer helpful advice.
4Trust in your ability to overcome depression. Although suffering from a mental illness is a trying experience, conquering it can be equally powerful and strengthening. Seeking help from others does not diminish your strength, but rather aids in your ability to be successful in the endeavor.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- If you have been depressed for a long time, it may take a long time to fully recover from depression. Don't expect immediate results.
- Do not measure your progress and success in treatment against other people's. Your body and mind are unique from anyone else's, and will most likely heal differently too.
- Try a natural remedy for depression. Exercise, sunlight, and physical touch all release endorphins that can help relieve depression.
- Another symptom of depression might be discomfort of wanting help from others. That'll only do more bad than good.
- Don't hide any symptoms from your doctor. A very similar illness to major depression, bipolar disorder, shares all the symptoms of depression with the addition of periods of extreme energy and happiness, illusions of grandeur, and extreme fluctuations in mood and thought processes. Be sure to make note if you experience any of these as well.
- Do not lose your nerve if you suffer an apparent relapse in depression. Although it is normal to have highs and lows, speak with your doctor if you are worried about your mental state.
- If you begin taking medication for your depression, do not stop taking it immediately upon seeing results. It often requires more time, so wait for your doctor's word to stop with the prescription.
- Substance abuse may seem to provide immediate relief from depression symptoms, but can worsen the illness over time. If you begin to misuse drugs or alcohol to deal with your depression, stop immediately and talk to your doctor about alternative treatments.

ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, FL (FirstCoastNews.com) -- A St. Augustine couple found a scene straight out of a fairy tale when they arrived home early Saturday morning.
To their surprise, a female stranger was sleeping on their couch wearing the homeowner's pajamas.
The couple snapped a couple pictures before the blonde haired stranger woke up, grabbed her clothes and ran out the back door.
She left in such a rush she forgot her passport making it easy for the St. Augustine Beach Police Department to track her down.
The real-life goldilocks was identified as Chancy Layton, 19, from St. Augustine.
She was found wearing the clothes belonging to the homeowner and arrested, according to SABPD.
Layton told police a friend said the home on 3rd Street in St. Augustine Beach would be empty and the balcony would be unlocked. She told police she entered the home around 9:30 p.m., took a shower, ate food and fell asleep on the couch because she didn't want to sleep outside. She was also very apologetic and wished to return the clothes belonging to the homeowner.
Layton was placed under arrest

text: http://askubuntu.com – I am running 11.10 and i need to have a vnc window for the connection to my windows 7 box (booo hiss etc) , i have two screens attached to my pc. i would like to have a fullscreen dual window VNC window on one of the two workspaces of my ubuntu desktop , currently i can get close to this by manually resizing the vnc window as big as i can on the second workspace when it opens . this is less than ideal as it takes a while and always needs doing when i login . also alt-tab doesn't get handled by windows which is confusing. If i try to fullscreen VNC i get proper alt-tab for windows but only one (HowTos)
