Rent just keeps on increasing at horrendous rate even with no unit updating or renovations. No effort at all to retain and keep old time residents. Rent increase will be administered without negotiation and without fail at lease expiration. Full Review ▶

What you seem to know from "sharp" digital prints are algorithmic ways to boost perceived sharpness at the expense of image detail. If you are willing to go through the effort, you can do unsharp masking in the dark room, that's actually where this technique has been invented and named.
Apart from that, make a sharp color negative (decent lens stopped down a bit, good focusing and sufficient DOF, sturdy tripod, and so on, you know the drill), use a good enlarger with proper technique and your image should look reasonably sharp.

Black Ops 2 Prestige Master Rank Tips: What You Need to Know Before Resetting Your Rank
Are you the type that doesn't want to Prestige in Call of Duty games because of your attachments and whatnot will be reset? Read on for what you need to know for Black Ops 2's Prestige cycle.
Let's face it, the biggest draw why Call of Duty sells each year is due to the game's compelling multiplayer. Like it or hate it, a ton of people play it. It's the right blend of gameplay mechanics that are easy to get the hang off, and that's coupled with the morphine drip-feed of leveling up.
In saying that, this whole leveing up thing has spawned a life of its own within the franchise. Simply called "Prestige," it means resetting your rank once you've reached the maximum rank to show how "L33t" you are and whatnot at the cost of resetting all your unlocks, gear, too. Well, that won't be the case in Black Ops 2.
We're here now to give you tips and pointers on how Black Ops 2's Prestige system works.
In Black Ops 2's Prestige, or "Prestiging," it will consist of 10 Prestige levels that players can get to once they reach the maximum level of 55. One big difference in Black Ops 2 is now when you Prestige, you won't lose your unlocks, weapon attachements, weapon attachments, etc.
This was made due to the number of weapon camos in the game. There are primary weapon camos, secondary camos, launcher camos, there's even different camos for the ballistic knife and crossbow. Now when you Prestige, you can just focus on unlocking those camos instead of unlocking the gear you've already unlocked previously. In addition to that, there will be "secret camos" that I assume will only be unlocked through various challenges and whatnot.
Everytime you Prestige, you'll receive a Prestige token --which is similar to Modern Warfare 3. You can use it to unlock weapons, unlock classes and even reset your stats at any Prestige you are..
Treyarch is also implementing a new "refund" feature for the Prestige tokens in Black Ops 2. You can now refund your Prestige tokens to use them on different stuff. Once you use the refund token, the weapon or thing it unlocked will be locked again. To unlock it once more, you need to spend another Prestige token on it. So choose wisely before refunding.
Lastly, there will be 10 Prestige emblems for Black Ops 2. Once you reach Prestige 10 and fill the XP bar completely, you will unlock everything in the multiplayer section of the game. I'm talking about the weapons, perks, camos, equipment and more. It will be called the "Prestige Master" and will, of course, have its own emblem.
So there you have it. It's certainly more viable to Prestige in Black Ops 2 compared to past Call of Duty games, no? Or at least that's what I think.
Will you be Prestiging in Black Ops 2? Or you don't care much for camos, emblems and all that sort? Sound off and let's talk about it in the comments.
Black Ops 2 is set for a November 13 release for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Adam LaRoche drove in two runs as the Washington Nationals used a four-run first-inning burst to claim a 6-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the middle test of a three-game set.
Jayson Werth scored twice and knocked in a run for the Nationals, who have won three in a row and extended their lead in the NL East to nine games over their Tuesday opponent.
Ian Desmond, Wilson Ramos and Asdrubal Cabrera added an RBI each to back Jordan Zimmermann (11-5). The right-hander fanned seven and gave up six hits over six innings, during which he allowed four runs and two of those earned.
"We're still taking it one game at a time," Zimmermann said. "We're not looking too far ahead."
Justin Upton hit a two-run homer for the Braves, losers of three in a row and six of eight. Chris Johnson and Justin Heyward knocked in a run each in the setback.
Ervin Santana (14-8) gave up eight hits and six runs -- five earned -- while walking four and striking out five in five full frames.
Washington lit up Santana for four runs in the opening frame. With runners on the corners and one out, back-to-back singles from LaRoche and Desmond pushed across the hosts' first two runs. After a Bryce Harper base hit loaded the bases, a Ramos single and Cabrera fly to right brought in the next two runs.
Werth walked with two down in the second, moved to third on an error and scored on a LaRoche single for a 5-0 game.
"They came out swinging the bats and were really, really aggressive with the first couple pitches of every at-bat," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Usually, when teams do that against [Santana], they get quick outs. But they found the outfield grass and put a big number up. We weren't able to recover after that, but we battled."
Atlanta cut into its deficit with two in the fourth on a fielder's choice grounder from Heyward and RBI single by Johnson, before Werth's two-out RBI double in the home half kicked the Nats' advantage back up to four.
Phil Gosselin reached on an error in the sixth, then Upton's shot to left- center brought the Braves to 6-4. However, Zimmermann concluded his outing by retiring the next two batters.
Aaron Barrett retired the side in order in the seventh and exited with Emilio Bonifacio on second and one out in the eighth. Ross Detwiler and Craig Stammen made sure he stayed there by recording an out each.
Drew Storen tossed a quiet ninth to earn his fourth save.
Atlanta has won nine of 15 in the season series, but Washington has now taken
five of nine in America's capital ... Prior to the contest, the Nationals
announced a two-year player development contract extension with Single-A
Potomac of the Carolina League ... Braves batters struck out 11 times and
failed to record a walk.

The latest collection to hit the MAC displays is the MAC Heavenly Creature Collection for Fall 2012. It's their large mineralized collection of the season (we usually see a couple of these in the year), including Mineralized Skinfinishes, Mineralized Blushes and Mineralized Eyeshadows. In addition, the collection also features some Lipsticks, Cremesheen Glasses, skincare products and more. You can see the full collection here.
The collection is a celestial-inspired set with the mineralized products resembling planet-like patterns. When I first saw the promo images, I was blown away by how beautiful they looked. Marbleized domes of baked powders, no two the same, a huge range of shades and textures.
Mineralized Skinfinish
I've been playing with two MAC Mineralized Skinfinishes ($29 USD / $34 CAD) from the collection, including Light Year (a soft peachy pink with gold and bronze shimmer) and Earth Shine (a deep plum with gold shimmer). These all over face colour powders are probably my favourite formula out of all of MAC's mineralized products; I find they give a beautiful healthy glow to the skin without being too chunky or glittery. I also find the pigmentation in MSFs to be much more impressive than the blushes and eyeshadows.
These powders can really be used however you wish- as a blush, a bronzer, a highlighter, an overall complexion enhancer, an eyeshadow… the possibilities are really endless! I think Light Year is a little more wearable for my skin tone, as Earth Shine is a lot darker than I thought it would be (especially considering the amount of plum vs gold in my powder), so I think it would be lovely on medium or darker skin tones as a blush.
Mineralized Blush
Typically I find mineral powder blushes to be super pigmented and finely milled, delivering a gorgeous natural-looking flush of colour. Unfortuantely, this MAC Mineralized Blush ($23.50 USD / $28 CAD) in Solar Ray doesn't live up to those expectations. Although it's pretty to look at, the peachy-orange blush with flecks of gold shimmer really lacks in pigmentation.
When applied heavily, you can build the colour (which is actually really beautiful), but you're also building the gold, chunky glitter. When applied lightly, you're basically dusting a layer of glitter on because there just isn't enough colour! These blushes are usually hit or miss from MAC, and I haven't tried the other shades in the collection but unfortunately this one just doesn't turn out as pretty as it looks.
Mineralized Eyeshadow
MAC Mineralized Eyeshadows ($22 USD / $24 CAD) are incredibly deceiving- they look stunning in the pan, with marbling of various shades and textures, and it plays with your eyes; you see a palette, but it's almost impossible to use the colours individually… so it's important to swatch them, or look up swatches before buying. What you see in the pan is not what you get on the eyes.
They are also notorious for being less than impressive in the pigmentation department, however the two I've been playing with, Bright Moon and Aurora, weren't too bad actually! Bright Moon comes off as a light, silvery blue and Aurora looks like a purplish brown. Not bad shades on their own, but it's just difficult to picture what they will look like from what you see in the pan.
Foiling these eyeshadows (using them wet, like with a damp eyeshadow brush) will dramatically improve their opacity, texture and give you a metallic finish. It's my favourite way to wear these mineralized eyeshadows, and I was quite impressed with how both of them worked damp.
I definitely suggest wearing a primer to hold these down, they are minerals so I find they have a lot of fall out when used dry.
Joining the mineral line-up are a couple lipsticks, one of which is the MAC Lipstick ($14.50 USD / $17.50 CAD) in Pleasureseeker. This peachy pink lip colour is a glaze formula; probably one of the most sheer finishes that MAC has, but that also makes it very wearable and fool-proof. You can build the colour as you wish as well.
The colour is really pretty, even though it takes a few layers to build, its a nice warm nude lip for my skin tone. The texture is comfortable and doesn't dry out my lips. It's nothing groundbreaking and the shade isn't super unique, but if you're looking for an easy transition into wearing nude lips, this might be it.
Cremesheen Glass
I was happy to see a few new shades of the MAC Cremesheen Glass ($19.50 USD / $22.50 CAD) joining the collection! These long tubes of gloss are MAC's solution to those that love the scent, look and colours that MAC offers, without any stickiness or tackiness that the regular Lipglasses have. These are smooth, creamy and the most comfortable glosses I've ever tried from MAC!
Even though they aren't thick and goopy, they still last a surprisingly long time. The shade Meteoric is a mid-tone, vibrant coral. I would consider it to be medium coverage, and perfect for summer! They still have the classic vanilla scent that I've grown to love (and almost become addicted to).

- Overall: I'm not too crazy about MAC's mineralized products, but I did find the collection to be very visually appealing and more impressive than I was expecting, especially with the Mineralized Skinfinishes and Cremesheen Glasses. The Blush was a flop for me and the eyeshadows were okay (much better when worn wet). The lipstick is a nice hue and easy to wear, but nothing very unique.

GMP improves power line, boosts wind power outputSeptember 23,2013LOWELL Vermonts largest power company says its Lowell Mountain wind farm has been able to ship more power because of an upgrade of a nearby power line.
Green Mountain Power officials said Friday that power generation at it Kingdom Community Wind facility in Lowell had increased dramatically following improvements on the line between Irasburg and Johnson.
The utility says it will be installing another piece of equipment in Jay this winter a synchronous condenser to boost the power output from Lowell Mountain further.
The company says the changes should enable the project to generate 63 megawatts during favorable wind conditions.
The upgrades follow periods in recent months when the facility was ordered by the regional power dispatch agency ISO New England to reduce its output in response to constraints on the transmission system.
We have always believed that this wind resource would provide a clean, cost-effective energy resource for Vermonters, and this upgrade is helping us achieve that goal, said GMP spokesman Dorothy Schnure.MORE IN Vermont News

Three of tech's biggest corporations reign supreme as the most valuable brands worldwide, based on a new study by Brand Finance.
Ranking the 500 most valuable brands in the world, BrandFinance awarded Google first place, with Microsoft, IBM, and Apple among other tech companies near the top of the list.

This is a follow-up post to Boxer's Fracture.
Funny the stories and memories that come back when people saw my son in a cast. We were all truthful about what happened when asked. No lying here.
First I'd forgotten my own brother, as a teen, did the same thing but my father refused to get him medical treatment. My grandmother finally took him to her own family Dr. with her own money but the guy just splinted it. It healed in a displaced way and is all crooked and he has had arthritis in the joints every day of his life ever since. This was relayed to me by my brother when I told him what happened.
Next a homeschool co-op teacher said her house is full of holes from punches from one son. She said many teen boys she knew wrecked their parent's houses in anger destruction fits.
I heard three other families' tales of how their sons all punched walls and broke their hands.
Better was the constructive advice to get boxing gloves and a punching bag, and other hitting implements. The orthopedist and other doctors have all said BOYS need things to hit and destroy or else hard work to do like farming chores, splitting wood and other hard work that WE DO NOT HAVE AVAILABLE TO US LIVING IN THE SUBURBS.
One male nurse said he grew up on a farm and when he got angry his father sent him to the field for the day to mend fences. He said some days he was out there for nine hours until the dinner bell rang. By that time he said he was too tired and hungry and whatever the problem was he'd already forgotten.
One doctor said a lot of teen boys are finding their way into psychiatric hospitals, with mental illness diagnoses and on psych meds to calm down the ya-ya's that in the previous generations were gotten out of the system by hard work or hard sports.
I am glad my son has 3 hours a day of vigorous exercise at his team sport to get some ya-ya's out.
Now that the hand is healed we will shop for some boxing equipment to hang in the garage to beat up on when he's mad or has too much energy.
My son realized he does not want to hurt himself again because it impairs basic daily living, primarily. I frankly think he should also do work to earn money to pay his medical bills. We have a 10% co-payment on all medical services rendered which adds up after many specialist visits and multiple x-rays not to mention the expensive emergency room visit (the pediatrician refuses to see possible bone fractures and refers to the ER).

Teen Boys and Getting the Stress Out
Posted by ChristineMM at 4:00 AM

We have a TaeKwonDo Kick bag (not really a bag, much bigger) in the basement. My son, however, preferred to play the piano when he was frustrated. It always started aggressively and loudly, and calmed into something pleasant in a matter of minutes.
But then my boy is pretty atypical. But if your son's play any instruments... drums? Guitar, I'd offer they try expressing themselves through music.
Me, personally, I like to go into a closet and scream.

We used to have our teen dig a hole in the yard. Or run around the block. Rake. Hammer nails into a board. Pull nails out of the board. Sawing woods into blocks, nailing blocks together.
In a pinch, a tennis racket smacked against a bed makes a wonderful "thwunk"...

Mediterraneanishly American
price range: $11 (five cheese pizza) to $33 (Chilean
sea bass)
handsomely comfortable
the time your plate is presented, youve already journeyed
a comfortable and considerable distance from your arrival
point. Lets say you head to Creo, the handsome new Stuyvesant
Plaza restaurant, for dinner after a day of work and the subsequent
challenge of getting your family together for the visit.
If youre
at all like me, youre blotting paper, absorbing the mix of
happiness and tension that constitutes a given day. Where
I grew upsnooty suburban Connecticutthe major remedy was
cocktails, and by cocktails I mean journeyman boozing. I find
the wine-with-dinner approach to be more salubrious.
greets you with an attractively featured building, its earth-toned
exterior colors traveling alongside you as you pause at the
busy bar, with its mutely lighted top and artful array of
bottles and glassware. Behind it all is an impressively eco-friendly
facility, using recycled material and making creative use
of such new techniques as a grass roof.
You can
dine there, or alongside the bar, or in the large dining room,
itself segmented without losing its attractive airiness. Conversation
in that room is easy to follow; we learned later that the
acoustics were an important consideration.
is the brainchild of David R. White, who owns several area
restaurants (including nearby Bountiful Bread, which supplies
the same to Creo) and Mark A. Burgasser, and they were shrewd
enough to enlist chef Andrew Plummer and general manager Paul
McCullough, both of whom were most recently at McGuires in
downtown Albany.
designed the placephysically and in the hospitality realmto
ease you out of your world and into theirs. And theirs is
a very nice place to be. You lose yourself in the pleasant
service, the easygoing attention, and youre invited to create
a meal as small or as extensive as you like.
As is
becoming happily common, the terms appetizers and entrées
appear nowhere on the menu. Its divided by plate size or
preparation style, giving you freedom to design a dinner of
whatever size works at the moment. Having said which, my family
determinedly ordered according to the appetizer-entrée paradigm.
plates include bruschetta with tapenade ($7), homemade (and
gorgeously browned) potato chips with blue cheese ($9), calamari
with kung pao sauce ($11), Thai steamed mussels ($13) and
fried oysters with habanero tartar sauce ($14).
All of
which gives you a clue to Plummers culinary approach. Nothing
unusual about the main ingredients; its the co-stars that
are different, and the production itself often is translated
from another language.
the chicken quesadilla ($10). Its traditional bar fare, but
flavor-enhanced with a cooking technique: The chicken is rotisserie
grilled, giving the meat a richer flavor, and the assembly
is enhanced with chipotle, the wonderfully pungent smoked
jalapeno peppers. Theres nothing unusual about the look of
the item, but tasting it is like discovering a Porsche engine
in your old Beetle.
the chicken soup ($5). Chicken soup! The name conjures childhood
recollections of that awful Campbells product, splotched
into a saucepan and hastily heatedbut the Creo version messes
around with those memories, reviving your palate even as it
replaces years of mental mediocre soup accretions. Nothing
special here that I could discern except for the fresh, for-real
ingredientsand a dandy addition of asiago-based gnocchi-like
are à la carte, and many of them are available in two sizes:
Thus, the chopped vegetable salad comes in $7 and $12 varieties,
the Caesar in $6 and $10. This is a welcome option, easing
the process of designing your meal, and the versatility spreads
into the pasta, rotisserie and big plates menu sections,
where selected items also are two-tier priced.
We sampled
a chop salad, which surrounded iceberg lettuce with grilled
eggplant and zucchini and included a sprinkling of cashews
in a thick, sweet balsamic vinaigrette.
pizzas are a selling point here, and while I absolutely couldnt
imagine tucking into one in the context of the meal I anticipated,
I what-the-helld my way into a five-cheese pizza ($11), a
personal-sized portion on a thin crust also topped with tomatoes
and basil. And I didnt regret it at all. Other varieties
are offered, ranging from a spinach and feta combo ($12) to
a pie with spicy chicken sausage and fontinella ($14).
meats include chicken, pork, a rib eye of beef and lamb in
appealing preparations ($12-$29). In the big plates section
are classics like grilled sirloin with a roasted garlic demi-glace
($23) and roasted duck with orange-pomegranate sauce ($24).
Slightly more exotic are panko-crusted ahi tuna ($27) and
Chilean sea bass in a soy sesame butter ($33).
But I
went ultra traditional with the meat loaf, a small portion
of which is $13 and was satisfying enough to make me wonder
how much you get for the $19 size. Veal and wild mushrooms
figure into the blend, and the meat was firm, rich and exceptionally
tasty, set off with a light sauce and excellent mashed potatoes.
The plate was a delight to behold, garnished with crisp vegetables,
including string beans.
marinated grilled salmon ($23) turns out to be glazed and
tender, perched atop crisp noodles, finished with the sweet-sharp
punch of a hoisin wasabi vinaigrette. And we checked out one
of the specials, per our servers recommendation, and found
the pan-seared diver scallops crusted with sesame seeds to
be a showcase of this kind of dish, the seafood intensely
flavored, the starch a serving of purple (or forbidden)
my daughter went nuts over a dessert of homemade mud pie ($8,
and it may be getting near time to disown her), my wife and
I shared a dignified serving of homemade sorbet ($7), choosing
a scoop apiece of blood orange and pomegranate- red-wine flavors.
a top-of-the-line dining experience here, thankfully raising
the Capital Regions culinary bar, and I expect that the success
this restaurant already has enjoyed will only continue.

DA wants Parly to probe NPA bossComment on this story
Cape Town - The DA will call on Parliament to look into the appointment of National Prosecuting Authority head Mxolisi Nxasana, the party said on Wednesday.
"Recent allegations in the media around Mr Nxasana raise serious concerns, not only with regard to the process followed in appointing this national director, but also with regard to whether the NPA is being abused to advance political ends," Democratic Alliance parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane said.
Independent Newspapers has reported that former justice minister Jeff Radebe called Nxasana to a late-night meeting and instructed him to resign a few days before Zuma announced his new Cabinet.
Radebe allegedly claimed Nxasana had not been given a security clearance because of past brushes with the law. These included being tried for murder about 30 years ago. He was acquitted.
Nxasana has reportedly refused to resign and vowed to challenge the matter in court or an inquiry should he be fired.
The DA believes Nxasana's integrity was being called into question, possibly because he refused to clear suspended crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli on corruption charges.
It was rumoured that he would reinstate corruption charges against Zuma.
Maimane said there were two reasons Parliament's yet-to-be announced justice portfolio committee needed to look into Nxasana's appointment.
"The first is that Mr Nxasana might not be a fit and proper person to hold the office of NDPP, due to prior run-ins with the law, in which case his appointment would have been irrational and falls to be set aside," Maimane said.
"The second is that Mr Nxasana is a fit and proper person to hold the office, but is being manipulated in his functions to advance political ends."
The DA wanted several documents tabled before Parliament, should the committee look into the Nxasana matter.
These include a full record of the decision to appoint him, and the application form he completed.
The committee should as part of its terms of reference recommend amendments to the process of appointing future national directors of public prosecutions, Maimane said. - Sapa

We need Boys & Girls Club
Dear Editor,
I am deeply concerned about the closing of the Boys & Girls Club in Houston, Mississippi.
The Boys & Girls Club was an asset for Houston and Chickasaw County. It was a great service for the boys and girls of this area.
Therefore, I appeal to the following: churches, businesses, Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors and the Houston Board of Aldermen to look into this matter to reopen the Boys & Girls Club, because we need if very much.
Sincerely your,
Zora B. Cousin
Houston, Miss.

In 2003, CNBC host Lawrence Kudlow, host of CNBC's Kudlow & Company, advocated removing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez from power using "300 of the best Special Ops forces we have." As a panelist on MSNBC's Hardball, Kudlow made the suggestion in response to a question from host Chris Matthews regarding strategies to reduce the high price of oil. Kudlow called Chavez a "Castro-ite" in reference to his ties with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
On August 22, Media Matters for America documented comments by Christian Coalition of America founder and 700 Club host Pat Robertson calling for the assassination of Chavez.
From the Februrary 26, 2003, edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, on which Kudlow was a panelist:
MATTHEWS: Let me start the proposition. Let's stipulate here this may be the first time that the United States and Europe agree on anything. We both agree it's too cold. But what do we do about the high price of heating oil? You next, Lawrence.
KUDLOW: There's nothing you can do about it except take 300 of the best Special Ops forces we have, go down to Venezuela, and get rid of that Castro-ite, Hugo Chavez. That's the only thing you can do. The weather is an act of God, and Iraq's going to be over in a couple of weeks, so you've just got to have some patience there.
MATTHEWS: But you're considering [kidding?*] about regime change in Caracas, I hope.
KUDLOW: I am not kidding. He's a bad guy. He's a Castro-ite. He is trying to change that whole continent, and he's getting -- you know what --
MATTHEWS: How many governments do you have on your list that we have to effect a regime change in?
KUDLOW: Well, how --
MATTHEWS: Let's start with Iraq and now Caracas and Venezuela, Iran, Syria, Libya.
KUDLOW: How much time you got? How much time --
* Matthews presumably said or meant "kidding," but a videotape of the program was unavailable for Media Matters to verify against the Nexis transcript.

Diagnostic Pathology 2007, 2:30 doi:10.1186/1746-1596-2-30Published: 21 August 2007
Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (CHRC) is a neoplasm of the kidney with clinicopathologic peculiarities that seems to be of better prognosis than conventional renal cell carcinoma. Classical and eosinophilic types are the two histological variants recorded. Also, it has been described in association with carcinoma of collecting ducts, conventional renal cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma. Squamous renal carcinoma is a very rare neoplasm with a malignant course. We describe a case of simultaneous chromophobe renal cell carcinoma with squamous cell carcinoma, finding which, to the best of our knowledge, has not previously been reported.

TASTE Philly cheese steak sandwich at Sports Column on Thursday, May 30, 2013. Benjamin Roberts / Iowa City Press-Citizen / Benjamin Roberts / Iowa City Press-Citizen
- Filed Under
Theres no need to go all the way to Pennsylvania to get your hands on an authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Local chefs know just how to prepare the iconic sandwiches, a mouthwatering combination of thinly sliced steak, grilled peppers and onions and melted cheese. Satisfy your cravings at one of these Iowa City area restaurants.
Reds Alehouse
405 N. Dubuque St., North Liberty
Information: 626-2100
It only takes one bite of the Tri Tip Philly ($11) at Reds Alehouse before youre completely hooked. The sandwich is stacked high with stewed bell peppers and onions, juicy steak and smothered in an aged white cheddar cheese sauce. Dont worry, nobody will judge you if you order two.
The Airliner
22 S. Clinton St., Iowa City
Information: 351-9259

Originally posted by Jim Yingst: a String[] array is an Object[] array
Originally posted by Frank Carver: Umm, can you give me an actual case where you can use an Object[] but you can't use a String[] ?
Originally posted by Jim Yingst: True; a String[] doesn't really seem to be a subtype of Object[], though it's very similar to one. My analogy worked fine as far as casting is concerned, but wasn't intended to apply to all possible uses of arrays.
However, this got me thinking.
Always a danger - what follows is an extended digression probably of interest to very few people other than Ilja; you have been warned. (Maybe it's not even of interest to Ilja, but hey, he started it.)
The situation seems similar to the Collection API, which offers several operations like add() and set() which are explicitly optional. Someone could write a method:
public method(Collection coll, Object obj)
This will work fine for many Collections, but will break for others (such as a Collection returned by Collections.unmodifiableCollection()). Does this mean that an unmodifiable Collection is not a subtype of Collection?
I would argue this is not a violation of the Liskov principle, because throwing an UnsupportedMethodException is valid behavior according to the API for Collection, and it's the programmer's fault if they didn't anticipate this - or at least, document the assumption that the optional method is assumed to exist for the collection, thereby passing responsibility on to whoever else uses the method, to make sure it's only called in appropriate circumstances.
I haven't read that much about the Liskov substitution principle, so I don't know if this interpretation is widely held.
If not, then there are certainly other examples in Java where a subclass (in the Java sense) is not a subtype (in the Liskov sense).

There was German interest in the four finals that took place, with the men's doubles not taking place due to Fuchs and Roth pulling out of their final giving Kindervater and Schottler the title.
The all-German mixed doubles final seen unseeded Michael Fuchs and Brigit Overzier defeat their 4th seeded opponents Johannes Schottler and Sandra Marinello in two games, winning 22-20, 21-19. Sandra Marinello would team up with Birgit Overzier as the second seeds defeated the top seeded Dutch pairing of Lotte Jonathans and Paulien Van Dooremalen in three games to ensure a third title for Germany.
The top seeds in the singles were also German, with Marc Zwiebler defeating Eric Pang of Holland in two games to ensure title number 4 for Germany. The fifth title was the most impressive as top seeded Juliane Schenk defeated the second seeded Elizabeth Cann of England in a 23 minute demolition that the German #1 won 21-7, 21-5.
Finals Results
It seemed almost destined that the young up and comer Viktor Axelsen would storm his way to the title in Sweden, but another relatively unknown player from Indonesia named Indra Bagus Ade Chandra was too much for the young Dane. Similar to Axelsen, Chandra fought his way through the qualifying rounds to find his place in the finals. The Indonesia defeated Axelsen with a confident 21-15, 21-12 scoreline. We can likely expect to hear much more from both of these young players.
In the women's singles it was Kaori Imabeppu of Japan taking the title over England's Elizabeth Cann in a relatively quick 21-15, 21-10 win. After defeating China's Rong Bo it appeared that Cann would have more to challenge Kaori with, but it appeared that perhaps fatigue got the best of her. The only game that Kaori dropped throughout the entire tournament was to the top seed Ella Diehl.
While they may have lost the women's singles, England rebounded with a confident looking Robin Middleton and Chris Langridge in the men's doubles event. The two managed to take the title without dropping a game, and with few close games at that. They defeated their Danish opponents Mikkel Elbjorn and Christian John Skovgaard 21-11, 21-18.
Both the women's doubles and mixed doubles went to Danish pairs, and both finals were intensely fought. In the women's doubles Helle Nielsen and Marie Ropke snuck past their Dutch opponents Lotte Jonathans and Pauline Van Dooremalen in three close games 17-21, 21-15, 21-18. Then in the mixed doubles Mads Pieler Kolding and Britta Andersen narrowly defeated their Ukrainian opponents Valery Atrashchenkov and Elena Prus 18-21, 21-18, 21-17.
The EBU tour goes on a bit of a break again now with Thomas and Uber Cup preliminaries happening around the world. Stay tuned for more BWF tour results from those events soon.

Working in design for Cadillac, our studio team knows the tiniest details can make a big impact when it comes to pleasing luxury vehicle buyers. As color and trim design manager for Cadillac, one of my roles is selecting the colors and materials that evoke the brand's design character and blend them in ways that create a premier luxury experience.
The all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade is an iconic product for the Cadillac brand with an interior that advances the formula for which the Escalade is known – bold design, strong presence, capability and seating for up to eight. It also represents the latest vehicle in a product renaissance that includes the critically acclaimed CTS, ELR, and ATS and guided by our Art and Science design philosophy. Today, the very essence of Art and Science is American luxury and style, blended with a never-ending quest of technology progression.
Like the vehicles that precede it, the interior of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade has been dramatically elevated, with the goal to select and combine authentic materials like genuine wood, leather and metal in tasteful and modern ways that invite discovery and create an emotional connection with luxury customers.
For inspiration, we looked at trends in fashion, interior home design and architecture. We find it in luxury handbags, shoes and high-end leather products like furniture. We also looked within Cadillac to the colors, materials and elements that are important to the brand.
The design team developed three distinctive luxury environments, each offering a unique persona and character:
- The black interior featuring rosewood accents is the classic expression of luxury.
- The light shale interior offers a traditional luxury execution with American walnut burl accents in a light and airy environment.
- Fashion-forward customers will gravitate to the black interior featuring kona brown leather and open-pore elm cluster wood. The look and feel is high-end leather furniture with subtle color variation in the hide and a wood finish that lets its knots, lines and natural beauty come through.
Every 2015 Escalade interior also features extensive use of cut-and-sew. This top-of-the-line live stitching process requires leather and other premium materials to be precision cut, wrapped and stitched on the instrument panel, center console, door panels and other interior components to highlight their sculpture and create a tactile experience tailored to refined tastes.
The seamless integration of technology is another facet of the all-new Escalade interior environment. CUE – Cadillac's User Experience – is a new frontier of connectivity, control, convenience and convergence. All of the vehicle's information, communication, navigation and entertainment are available through one elegant, easy-to-use and customized interface. CUE does not replace a smartphone or iPod – it channels information from them through a central portal in an uncluttered design, featuring natural voice recognition and haptic touch-screen technology that's over three times faster than any previous infotainment system.
Visit cadillac.com to discover more about the 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Erin Crossley is a color and trim design manager for Cadillac. A graduate of Syracuse University, Crossley has worked exclusively in the Color and Trim Studios throughout her GM career. Previous brands include Saturn and Holden in Australia, the latter as the chief color and trim designer.

On any given day my kitchen table is guaranteed to be cluttered with coupons. Store coupons to no less than three different stores, manufacturer coupons received at samplings or in the mail [or on the job] and even some I printed off the internet.
Now ask me how many of those coupons actually make it to the store with me…
Yep, none! I mean, even the "FREE ORANGE JUICE," which I drink a gallon of a week, just sits there collecting crumbs never to see the fluorescent lights of the supermarket.
Most of my shopping is done on the "way home," on the "way out" or at some time in between. My shopping list is an ongoing digital project that lives in my smartphone and is adapted at the random times I am reminded of something I need/want, like when I pass someone eating something delicious in the window of a cafe on my way to work.
Any new recipes I find go straight into my Pepperplate account, an online database of recipes that syncs with my iPhone and iPad apps. When a friend sends me an idea to try in the kitchen, it gets automatically filtered into a folder, appropriately titled "Yummy Things." And I have a Pinterest page for every meal and eating occasion.
I live on-the-go, like most shoppers. Therefore, however good my intentions are to save money, paper coupons and I are not good friends.
But, and here is what you have been waiting for, send me a digital coupon and I am all yours.
Many years ago, at the ripe age of 16, I took my first "real job" at CVS Pharmacy. I spent my after-school hours and weekends up until college "facing" shelves, assisting shoppers and working my way up to "head cashier." (Yeah, I was a big deal in the local CVS!) I even sought out a position at the CVS in my college town when I ran out of money a couple years later.
The irony here is that since leaving this post, I have barely stepped foot in a CVS. It is just not convenient. There is a Rite Aid less than half a mile away from my house that I pass daily. There are Duane Reades galore around the Grocery Headquarters' office in NYC. And I am in Stop & Shop a few times a week, where they have a pretty good selection of HBC that keeps me from having to make an extra stop. I had about as much interest in seeking out a CVS—the place where it all started; the store that I developed the roots to my current retail-oriented writing career—as I did my high school boyfriend.
But then this happened: I started getting emails from CVS telling me I had earned $5 or 20% off a purchase before a certain date. (I never canceled my loyalty program membership; does anyone?) The first few I printed and donated to the coupon project on the kitchen table. But then one day I clicked the little "send to card" button on the e-newlsetter. Nothing happened, other than the words "You now have 20% off" appeared on the screen. Hmmmm, ok.
I made a point to visit CVS that week. I dumped a large pile of stuff on the counter and after scanning it through the register, the guy helping me said, "You have 20%, would you like to use it?"
Why, yes, yes I would like to use it. Thank you for the offer.
And that was that. I was converted. I was once again a loyal CVS shopper. I go there for all my HBC items; I buy my birthday cards there; I even popped in for a half gallon of milk the other day because I knew I had a coupon. The store is still not the most convenient for me, but it is worth it to hear those seven words: "Would you like to use your coupon?"
The last time I stood at the counter in CVS I commented to the person assisting me about how convenient the loyalty program was, and that it is the main reason I shop at the store. I wondered out loud, "Why don't more stores do this?"
"Well, we like that they don't," he replied, "but it is a very good question."

Diet Warhammer Online: same great taste, less content. Is it bad that the recently re-branded Mythic Entertainment just cut out a large portion of our Warhammer Online pie and put it in the deep freeze? Well it's certainly not good when a developer cuts content they've been talking about publicly for so long, especially when launch is only three or four months away. I've already written about why this MMO ode to classic tabletop trappings shouldn't be shoved onto shelves half-baked and I still feel like I'd rather see a delay than see so much content cut. While there have been plenty of delays already, that doesn't mean more would have been intolerable.
I'm going to try and take an honest look at what the removal of four capital cities and four classes means for Warhammer Online. I will admit that when the news first hit, a vile and seemingly ancient sort of anger began to boil up inside my lungs. It was the onset of some form of draconian rage at the removal of so much content that I'd been personally invested in as a future player. I never really got into Chaos and planned on playing Dark Elves, but now a large part of that content is gone. At first I felt anger and confusion towards Mythic. It wasn't until after that initial knee-jerk anger passed that I was able to give some real thought to their choice and was able to consider the varied consequences.
Realm vs Realm
In the original plan each race was paired against their mortal enemy -- this much hasn't changed. However, what has changed is the endgame of that racial RvR (Realm vs Realm) setup. Now instead of leveling and fighting through zones towards the ultimate satisfaction of conquering your sworn enemies' capital, you'll be working towards just one city and it very likely isn't your own. If you're playing Destruction then that target city is Altdorf, the Empire capital. In the case that you're playing Order it's the Inevitable City, otherwise known as the Chaos capital.
The rationale here is that players who have invested in Greenskin or Dark Elves (or their racial counterparts) will have a reason to want to defend and attack the remaining capitals. Yet I can't help but wonder if players of these races will eventually start to feel left out and want their own cities to defend and attack. Sure, they can participate in the same city defense and offense as other players when the time comes to sack Altdorf, but being unable to do the same against their High Elf or Dwarven counterparts just, well, sucks. At what point do these players begin to feel like a part of the B-list race? Maybe that won't happen but it was never even a question before and now.
Mythic could be doing something to fix the problem. Maybe they'll add some new racial scenarios into the Empire and Chaos lands that feature the "other guys". Incorporating both sides into one zone could be the right answer or it could lead to the other zones (the non-Empire and Chaos ones) being ignored and that's another problem altogether.
Here's a visual breakdown of how the class removals affect each race:
Two of these classes are balanced out by the fact that both Greenskins and Dwarves are losing the same type of class. However, the two tank classes that are being removed (Blackguard and Knight of the Blazing Sun) are not on direct opposing pairings. Specifically speaking the Empire and Dark Elf players are going to suffer here in early RvR scenarios, unless Mythic comes up with a clever way to fill the tanking holes. I can only imagine what playing RvR battles would be like when your side has almost no tanks while the other has plenty. Adding a Chaos tank to the Dark Elves and a High Elf tank to the Empire is the obvious solution but it's also kind of a cheap fix. At the very least Mythic did choose the classes that canceled each other out mechanically, so maybe they picked the lesser of two evils here. Although I still contend that a delay was the least evil choice.
The Full Experience
My other worry when it comes to the capital city cuts is that many players will probably opt to simply play in the pairing that actually have capital cities. "I'd roll a Dwarf character but if I do then I won't have a capital city." says average MMO player John. "Oh, is it really that important?" replies his friend Dave as he plays a newly rolled Bright Wizard. "I guess not." John mutters in a low, muted voice.
I can see this situation playing out a lot during the first several weeks that Warhammer Online is out and it won't be a very big deal at the time. However, over the course of several weeks John starts to feel like something's off every time he goes to Altdorf. Not only that but he probably doesn't really have that much realm pride considering his realm consists of the Empire capital and a bunch of zones that amount to his race's land, which is cool but lacks a shining crown jewel of its own. This tiny little niggling thought starts out small but begins to become tiresome after John has defended Altdorf for the umpteenth time and conversely sacked the Chaos capital as many times. Two or three months tops until John is thinking of moving on to another game.
How long will it take Mythic to add in those cut cities? It'll have taken them a lot longer than two or three months to get the Empire and Chaos cities ready by the time the game finally launches. Let's also not forget that Mythic will have to be contending with live maintenence and general fixes and updates during this time. So I'd wager you could safely say around five or six months for the next pair of "fabulous" cities to be added in after launch, which means there's going to be a long stretch of time where players will be stuck with just two cities. Can you say burnout?
This is of course nothing new to MMOs, but Warhammer Online was promising six cities as endgame content. With more than half of that content gone, burnout suddenly becomes a bigger issue. Is the leveling curve going to be longer? Are the post-launch added cities going to be better designed than the older cities, thus making Altdorf and the Inevitable City outmoded and empty? Will these two capital cities be huge lag-fests? All we can really do is wait for the answers to these anxious questons.
The Un-cut Features
Still, I want to remain hopeful that Warhammer Online won't disappoint entirely. Public Quests are already in the game and they're a lot of fun. The Tome of Knowledge is still there ever-expanding the metagame and such. Don't forget that the crafting system is still there too, although we haven't seen that much of it yet since the reveal wasn't very long ago. We still have one Orc class at least, right? While the game may not be shining as brightly as it was before all this terrible news, at the very least we've still got content that we will get to play. I only hope that once Mythic is ready to finally put the other cities and classes in they don't feel the need to charge us for them. If they do, that will be another firestorm entirely.
There are a lot of uncertanties now that so much content has been cut. It's hard to say what I think will be the future of Warhammer Online. If nothing else, I do know one thing for sure at this point: John Riccitiello probably saw this coming.

Now this may have been asked before, and it's probably been discussed somewhere, but I've been out of the AMV loop for quite some time now, and since I now have the money to put forth to get somewhere.....
I've seen a lot of discussion about input and capture cards here, which is all dandy and good. However, I have seen a lack of talk about output cards (VGA -> TV/VCR).
I am currently looking for a good output card/device. I want one that isn't dependant on which codec I use (i.e. will play both mpg's and avi's) as well as fill the screen (not the square black box I've seen with some 3D cards). I don't want to spend all my money on a big capture/output card (ie. Pinnicle DV500) but I want something that is going to give me good detail (not like the TV-out for most GeForce-based cards).
Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

|Cryogenics and its application with reference to spice grinding: a review.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22698269 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Cryogenics is the study of very low temperature and its application on different materials including biological products. Cryogenics has numerous applications in space science, electronics, automobiles, the manufacturing industry, sports and musical instruments, biological science and agriculture, etc. Cryogenic freezing finds pivotal application in food, that is, spices and condiments. Although there is a wide range of cryogens to produce the desired low temperature, generally liquid nitrogen (LN(2)) is used in food grinding. The application of low temperature shows a promising pathway to produce higher quality end product with higher flavor and volatile oil retention. Cryogenic grinders generally consist of precoolers and grinder with the cryogen distribution system. In such grinding systems, cryogens subject the raw material up to or lower than glass transition temperature before it is ground, thus eliminating much of the material and quality hassles of traditional grinding. At present, the capital investment including cryogen and handling costs escalate the final cost of the product. Thus, for large-scale production, a proper design to optimize and make it feasible is the need of the hour and understanding the behavior of different food materials at these low temperature conditions. This article reviews the scenario and application of cryogenics in different sectors, especially to spice grinding.

This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) for May 2001 and a supplement survey on the topic of Work Schedules and Working at Home.
The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States, for the week prior to the survey. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment.
The May 2001 supplemental survey queried respondents on their working hours and shift of work. Other questions asked about hours spent working at home and equipment used, temporary work done without expecting continuing employment from the employer, worker's expectation of continuing employment, satisfaction with their current employment arrangement, current job history, transition into the current employment arrangement, search for other employment, employee benefits, and earnings.
Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income.

Pender i have always thought that Gordon was one of Lee's best corp commanders, he had alot in common with jackson... what if he HAD been made Corp commander when Jackson died? I think the confederates would have faired better at Gettysburg.
csamillerp, Gordon was one of the CSA General's that had to prove himself. He was kind of like Forrest in the fact that he had no previous military training. That I believe is one reason for his slow climb to Corp. Command. His preformance at Sharpsburg and the Wilderness are great. He told Early at Cedar Creek what would happen if he did not stay on the defensive after the union route, Early did not listen and they were routed. Gordon was one of the few rays of hope for the Confederacy in 64 and 65. Yes I think Gordon would have done better than Ewell at Gettysburg, but at what extent I am not certain. When we all consider Ewell and Hill's promotion to Corp. Command after the death of Gen. Jackson, I think we too would have had great expectations for these two. Both were very instrumental to Jackson's victories.
The thing that makes Lee in command of the AotP intriguing is the fact it was offered to him. What makes the Confederate army special? IMO, it is Robert E. Lee. Before Lee takes command the Union army is at the gates of Richmond, they will not return for two years after horrendous warfare that brings on the modern warfare as we know today. As I have said before on this board if Lee does not take command in 62 the confederate capital is in Union hands 1862. If Lee is in command of the Union army I believe the Confederate capital falls even sooner. Heck, if McClellan can push Joe Johnston to the gates of the capital imagine what Lee could have done.
Lee vs Longstreet, I would say no it would not be Cold Harbor for Lee. But knowing how Lee sent his troops through the fields of Gettysburg, I will say could be. The only thing that bothers me about Longstreet is the question, would he be good at the head of an army? I always thought he would have been the best choice for command in the west instead of Hood. The down side with Longstreet is the Knoxville campaign, and he was up against Burnside. Did Lee's guidance make him great too?

In a 40-minute game of tug of war, Drury had the final push.
The Panthers outscored Saint Joseph's 11-2 over the game's final three minutes to down the Pumas 80-66 and set up Sunday's showdown with Indianapolis - the last team to beat the Panthers before the start of their 33-game winning streak.
"Our guys are having to understand - we're going to get everyone's best effort," Drury coach Steve Hesser said. "We may not always get their best game, but we'll get their best effort. Saint Joseph's has some good players, and give them credit; they never quit playing." ...
