Brian McManus is in his 30th season in charge of the UC San Diego women's soccer program in 2016. With a remarkable career record of 465-85-51 (.816), he finished the 2015 campaign with the most wins in NCAA Division II women's soccer history.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest women's soccer coaches at any collegiate level, McManus had compiled the ninth-highest win percentage in NCAA women's soccer history at .820 through the 2014 campaign. He is fifth among all divisions in wins, fourth in all-time win percentage in Division II history, and second in win percentage among active Division II coaches.
At the conclusion of a 2-1 overtime triumph over Western Washington in an NCAA Division II Championship national quarterfinal in Denver, Colo., on Nov. 16, 2012, McManus attained career win No. 433, passing Gabe Mejail of Merrimack College (MA) for the first time for sole possession of the No. 1 spot all-time among coaches with at least 10 seasons at an NCAA Division II school. Through the conclusion of the 2015 season, McManus has three more wins than does Mejail.
McManus has directed UCSD to seven national championships, with five at the NCAA Division III level and two more Division II crowns, with the Tritons advancing to the national semifinals a remarkable 15 times in his 29 years. Under his guidance, UCSD has qualified for the NCAA postseason in all 13 seasons during the Division III days and all but three (2004, 2013, 2014) of 16 years since the move up to Division II, including eight in succession prior to 2013.
McManus' teams went 36-7-2 (.822) in the NCAA Division III Championship between 1987-99 with two runner-up and three third-place finishes alongside five titles, and have since gone 23-10-3 (.681) with two crowns, two runner-up and one third-place effort in 13 Division II installments. The 23 wins are tied with Grand Valley State for third-most for the Division II tournament behind Franklin Pierce (42) and Metro State (24).
A three-time NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year honoree, McManus was the NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year in 2001 and the West Region Coach of the Year in 2000, 2001 2003, 2010 and 2011. He has also received UCSD's Excellence in Coaching Award a total of four times, in 1995-96, 1997-98, 2000-01 and 2012-13.
Through 16 years of Division II and California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) competition, McManus' Tritons have won the CCAA South Division 11 times (out of 14, with divisions no longer utilized) and the CCAA Championship on a record nine occasions. McManus has earned CCAA Coach of the Year distinction a record five times, in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2006 and most recently, 2011.
The 2014 squad ran off a 5-0-1 record down the stretch, with four of those matches away from home and allowing just a single goal, to snatch a remarkable return trip to the CCAA Championship following a lone absence from the event in 2013, out of UCSD's 15 seasons as a league member.
The Tritons reeled off seven straight victories to begin 2012, outscoring opponents 19-3 in the process. In a nailbiting year that ultimately saw UCSD play a program-record 10 overtime matches, going 5-1-4 in such contests, a group of 10 seniors led the squad back atop the CCAA, earning its first league title since 2008 after outlasting No. 7 Sonoma State on penalty kicks in the CCAA Championship final in Carson. UCSD navigated its way through three rounds of the NCAA Division II Championship before avenging its loss to Grand Valley State in the 2010 title match, taking a 2-1 decision in the national semifinals in Evans, Ga., behind second-half strikes by McManus' then-sophomore tandem of Cassie Callahan and Izzy Pozurama. A 77th-minute goal enabled No. 2 West Florida to edge the Tritons for its first national crown.
UCSD went undefeated during its first 12 games (8-0-4) of 2011, its longest such streak since 1994. The Tritons went on to capture their 10th CCAA South title in school history with a 12-1-3 conference record. McManus earned CCAA Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his career and NSCAA West Region Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season. Ranked No. 1 in the West Region for the NCAA Tournament, the Tritons were downed by Chico State 1-0 in the second round. UCSD finished the year ranked 19th in the nation with a 13-3-4 overall mark. The team earned the NSCAA All-Academic Team Award with a 3.22 overall GPA.
McManus led the 2010 UCSD squad to its most wins since 2006 (19-3-3) and its first national championship match since 2001, advancing to the NCAA Division II Semifinals with upset wins over No. 9 Seattle Pacific and No. 8 St. Edward's. The Tritons defeated undefeated No. 1 St. Rose in the national semifinals before falling to No. 5 Grand Valley State in the national championship match. The Tritons did not lose a match between Sept. 19 and Nov. 5, and they rattled off 10 consecutive victories through October.
After leading his 10th UCSD team to a Final Four, McManus was named NSCAA West Region Coach of the Year. In addition, the NCAA honored McManus as coach of the Division III Women's Soccer 25th Anniversary Team. He compiled a 230-28-19 record in 13 seasons at the DIII level while winning five national championships and nine regional titles.
The 2009 Tritons advanced to the West Region championship for the first time since 2006 and finished with a 15-5-2 record. Through the campaign, the Tritons played freshmen and sophomores at 10 of the 11 starting spots. Although UCSD ultimately fell to in penalty kicks to Cal State Dominguez Hills, the Tritons were able to host the first, second, third and quarterfinal rounds of the NCAA postseason.
During 2008, the Tritons earned an automatic berth into the NCAA postseason after winning the CCAA Championship on their home field. With a loss in the second round of the West Regional against fourth-ranked Seattle Pacific, UCSD ended its season at 15-4-4.
In 2007, the Tritons won their eighth-straight CCAA South Division title with a 9-2-2 league mark, earning another berth into the NCAA tournament.
The 2006 campaign, during which McManus was named CCAA Coach of the Year, witnessed the Tritons repeat at league champions after UCSD posted a 13-1-2 mark during the regular season, winning its seventh-straight CCAA South Division title as McManus was named the CCAA Coach of the Year.
McManus guided his squad to another CCAA crown in 2005 with a 4-3 victory over Cal State Dominguez Hills on Nov. 6.
In 2004, his team won its fifth straight CCAA South Division title before falling in the semifinals of the CCAA Championship, while in 2003, he guided the Tritons to a fourth consecutive CCAA title.
After consecutive national titles in UCSD's first two years at the NCAA Division II level, McManus led his squad to a third straight conference crown and an appearance in the Division II Far West Region Final in 2002.
Triton Soccer Stadium played host to the CCAA Championship and each round of the NCAA Championship in 2001, with standing-room-only, stadium-record crowds for the national semifinals and final.
McManus has led the Tritons to a total of five NCAA Division III national championships, including a title in 1999, their final season at the Division III level. Under his direction in Division III, UCSD was the only team in the nation to participate in every NCAA Tournament since 1986. In all, the Tritons were crowned NCAA regional champions nine times and national champions five. Remarkably, UCSD lost just one regular-season game to a Division III opponent in the school's history.
In 2002, McManus' squad produced two All-American, four All-West Region and five All-CCAA selections, including the CCAA Freshman of the Year in defender Heather Szafraniec. The 2005 team boasted the CCAA Player of the Year and an NSCAA/adidas All-American in Megan Dickey, along with five All-CCAA and three more NSCAA All-Far West Region honorees.
Two of McManus' former standout players, Dawn Lee and Kristin Jones, went on to become successful coaches in their own right. The duo, currently guiding the girl's varsity squads at Cathedral Catholic and La Jolla high schools, respectively, have combined for nine CIF San Diego Section Division 3 titles since 2001, facing off in the title contest three times. Jones has also been on McManus' Triton staff for 11 years since concluding her playing career.
McManus, who came to UCSD as an assistant coach in 1986, is a native of Scotland. He played professionally for Raith Rovers and Aberdeen and spent 11 years as a semi-professional player and coach. He also coached semi-pro soccer in Los Angeles, and previously coached the boy's team at Torrey Pines High School.

|Check-in before
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
In the apartment, it is calm at night in spite of it's central location and insufficient windows' sound proofing.
Also insufficient is room lighting, shutters of the kitchen cabinet are not arranged well, there is mold in the shower cabin.
But the Fountain Trevi district is an excellent place in Rome, and if you are not very captious you will enjoy this place to stay.
Very cosy place in a beautiful setting. Will come back for sure.
Trusted patner There Are nice team Where they always try to help costumers for all what he need but for me i need help since i make booking from windu website page and i used my credit card to make the booking wimdu proof my booking by saying that

text: Dec 11, 2012 00:27 Hit-and-run driver kills woman Hit-and-run driver kills woman Advocate staff report Comments A Port Allen pedestrian was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver early Saturday, State Police said in a news release. Denisce M. McCurley, 48, was hit from behind by a car while she was walking partially on the pavement of La. 76 east near La. 415 in West Baton Rouge Parish, Trooper First Class Jared L. Sandifer said in a news release. Troopers determined that the vehicle involved in the incident is possibly a Ford E-150 or E-250 Van or box type vehicle with front-end damage, possibly in the headlight area. Troopers don't know if McCurley, of Port Allen, had been drinking before she was hit. However, they have submitted a toxicology sample taken from McCurley to the State Police Crime Lab for analysis, the release says. Troopers asked the public to contact Louisiana State Police Troop A at (225) 754-8500, or their local law enforcement agency, if they can help locate the suspect vehicle.

On Easter, many throughout the world are baptized into the Church, and those already baptized renew the vows of their baptism.
By baptism, we are immersed in the new life of Christ, and welcomed into the community of those who believe in the Catholic Faith. Thanks to baptism, God looks at us through the eyes of His Son, and says, 'You are my child; you died on the cross, therefore you will rise from the dead.'
Baptism is a sacrament of welcome. God chooses us long before we choose, and all the chosen welcome each other. This is the exact opposite of the mindset of abortion, which ignores God's choice, and says that we can choose not to welcome children into the community.
Let's thank God for baptism, and for life!
–Fr. Frank

We all remember those lectures we got about the birds and the bees, but chances are an important part of that lecture was left out. Collectively, this diverse group of wildlife including insects, birds, bees and bats, are known as pollinators. They contribute to a healthy ecosystem by transporting pollen from one plant to another to facilitate fertilization. In fact, bees are responsible for pollinating more flowers than any creature on earth. We see pollinators everywhere during the summer months, but where do they go during the fall and winter, and what enables them to produce fruit and seed when the weather warms up again?
Off-Season Activities of Pollinators
Many bees and other insects die, leaving their eggs or pupae to lie dormant. These are tucked away in sheltered places-behind bark, under dead leaves, buried in soil-where they are protected from frost until the following spring, when life can continue. Others survive as adults, hidden in similarly sheltered spots.
In contrast, some pollinator species undertake astonishing journeys to avoid unfavorable weather conditions. Monarch butterflies and rufous hummingbirds fly thousands of miles across North America. Long-nosed bats make shorter, but no less rigorous migrations over hundreds of miles of desert. The monarch butterfly has arguably the most amazing migration of any creature. During the summer, monarchs may be found as far north as central Canada, but as summer fades millions of butterflies head south towards a few small patches of forest in the mountains of Michoacan, Mexico. Some fly more than 3,000 miles, taking over two months to complete the journey. There are also many smaller overwintering sites on the coast of California, but the Mexican sites are the winter home for more than 99 percent of the population. Here they gather to overwinter in the cool, stable conditions provided by Mexican forests.
The journey north next spring is undertaken in two generations. As they fly north from Mexico, the butterflies lay eggs on flowering milkweed. They may lay eggs for a thousand miles before dying. The generation born from these eggs will fly further north again as the milkweed flowers. The monarchs that reach Canada may be two generations removed from those that overwintered in Mexico. Some hummingbirds undertake an equally impressive trek. Along the West Coast, the rufous hummingbird breeds as far north as Alaska, and the ruby-throated hummingbird breeds across central and eastern parts of the continent into southern Canada. Both species overwinter in Mexico. To reach their winter territory, some birds travel well over 2,000 miles! Along the migration route, they stop at flower patches to lap up carbohydrate-laden nectar and feast on fat and protein-rich insects that together provide energy for the exhausting flight. Hummingbirds are known to live for over a decade. To have completed this annual migration so many times is a pretty astonishing achievement for a bird that weighs less than a nickel!
Preparing For Migration
The lesser long-nosed bat over-winters in Mexican caves and migrates several hundred miles north into southern Arizona and New Mexico as warmer temperatures and longer days allow desert flowers to bloom. Migrating pollinators need rest stops along the way. Rufous hummingbirds, for example, cannot complete the entire journey on one tank of nectar and insects. Monarch butterflies need milkweed on which to lay their eggs to ensure the next generation of migrants. Sustaining pollinator populations means ensuring that plant resources are available along their route. Patches of nectar-rich habitat act as stepping-stones that the pollinators can move between, together forming nectar corridors across landscapes altered by agriculture and development.
Hummingbirds are not at all shy, and can be viewed at close range when they visit feeders placed near the house or on windows. Fresh sugar water in feeders will supplement their regular diet of nectar and insects and help ensure that they will be regular visitors to your yard all summer.
The shy, solitary bees, like orchard bees, can help fill the gap in pollination left by the declining American honeybee. These bees are harmless and have solitary nests rather than hives. A nest of small, hollow tubes in which they can raise their larva helps keep them in your yard.
Our Produce Depends On Pollinators
Pollinators are responsible not only for the continued existence of healthy plant communities - and therefore the ecosystem upon which we rely - but their pollination service also provides us with much of the produce we humans need and enjoy. Unfortunately, pollinators as a group are on the decline worldwide. Habitat destruction through sprawl, use of chemical pesticides, spread of invasive non-native plants and animals, and sometimes just plain ignorance about the important role pollinators play are some of the causes for this decline.
Help Pollinators By Providing Their Habitat
Experts at the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) say the most important things you can do now in your yard to accommodate pollinators, or attract pollinators next spring are: plant native plant species as a source of nectar for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds; plant host plants for butterfly caterpillars; replace lawn areas with prairie or meadow nesting sites; and discontinue the use of chemicals and fertilizers in your yard.
To learn more about specific pollinators in your area, check out the Wildlife Finder at NWF's web site, including info on how to create wildlife-friendly landscaping through NWF's Backyard Wildlife Habitat program. When your habitat meets all the criteria for sustaining wildlife, it can be certified by NWF as an official Backyard Wildlife Habitat site.

A catback exhaust is the portion of an exhaust setup that contains all the components from the rear of the catalytic converter on down. Finely tuned Chevrolet Impala cat back exhausts serve as excellent Impala racing exhausts, and with all of the proper parts like universal mufflers and sleek tail pipes included, the setup can provide the sound and emissions flow a serious driver would want.
Chevrolet Impala Catalytic converters are the starting points for Chevrolet Impala cat back exhaust upgrades, and for good reason. These Chevrolet Impala converters help to make emissions cleaner and less polluting, and can correct problems caused by unruly Chevrolet Impala car exhausts. While mufflers focus on sound control and Chevrolet Impala exhaust pipes and tips are often upgraded for their looks more than anything, entire Chevrolet Impala cat back exhaust system upgrades can really affect the whole vehicle in a positive way, making for a cleaner, better looking exhaust array.

Wind-up Records is proud to announce the signing of New Orleans band The Revivalists. The guys have spent the last few years touring all over the country, playing countless sold out shows from California to New York and places in between. They have become a must see band on the festival circuit, performing in featured slots at Bonnaroo, Jazz Fest, Voodoo Festival, Governors Ball, The Hangout Festival, Mountain Jam and many more. David Fricke of Rolling Stone says "…a Crescent City-rhythm spin on jam-band jubilee…" Relix adds "…the group's powerful and accessible sound…with funky grooves and danceable beats...The singer wails with an Eddie Vedder-intensity..."
The Revivalists will showcase their musical prowess when featured in the upcoming fourth and final season of HBO's acclaimed drama series "Treme" in an episode called "Sunset on Louisianne" airing December 22nd. In the episode the band performs "Concrete (Fish Out Of Water)" off their 2008 self-titled EP at the Always Lounge in NOLA where Davis McAlary (played by Steve Zahn), a part-time DJ, aspiring songwriter and music scenester goes to see them perform.
The Revivalists will release their Wind-up Records debut album in 2014. Until then, they will be touring throughout the United States in support of their album City of Sound. The tour includes a stop in Brooklyn to perform to their third straight sold out crowd at Brooklyn Bowl on November 22nd. Their first stop at the Bowl featured a guest appearance by guitarist Warren Haynes going outside the box with a cover of "Forgot About Dre" - watch it here. Upcoming and new tour dates are listed below. More dates will be added soon.
The Revivalists have been playing nonstop since 2007, crafting a genre-hopping sound that rounds out traditional rock instrumentation with horns and pedal steel guitar and mixes the divergent backgrounds of its individual members with the humid, funky undercurrents of the band's New Orleans home. The result is like English spoken with an exotic accent: familiar, yet difficult to pin down. Religion aside, a revival is all about the tangible electricity that can only be created when enough like minds are crammed under a single roof for a singular purpose. It's a spiritual spectacle, a carnival of the divine, a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
The Revivalists are David Shaw (Vocals), Ed Williams (Pedal Steel Guitar), Zack Feinberg (Guitar), Rob Ingraham (Saxophone), George Gekas (Bass), Andrew Campanelli (Drums) and Michael Girardot (Keys/Trumpet).

I want to make a program where I have a collection of labeled vertices and edges between the vertices such that they join up with edges $a_{1} a_{2}, \; a_{2} a_{3}, \ldots ,\; a_{n} a_{1}$, so the edges form a "circle". Then I want to be able to input whether edges cross each other, and if they do, which edge crosses over and which edge crosses under. Is it possible to do this with Mathematica?
When you say you want to input, do you mean you want the code to output whether or not the lines cross?
Is this what you're looking for? It's not pretty but it should do the trick. The elements in table t1 below should give you all the information you need. The rows and columns correspond to different edges and when they are non-zero it means that they are intersecting. The values are the positions at which they cross in (x,y) coordinates.
r2 are the vertices of the circle:
These define the lines making up the circle:
These are the equations for the lines:
These functions are just min and max functions for the end points of a given line
This gives you a table which contains zero when there is no intersection, and the point of the intersection if there is one. It does not give intersections of lines with themselves or with their neighbours which are trivial.
This plots the lines generated randomly above and then points in the points of the intersections. I think from t1 you should be able to see, in your definition, which lies above and below which line

Costa Rica Travel guide
Costa Rica : Michelin's recommendations
Costa Rica stretches from the Pacific to the Caribbean, between the Talamanca cordillera to the south and Nicaragua to the north. This magnificent ecological sanctuary in the heart of Central America is bursting with energy, including five active fire-spitting volcanoes out of a total of 116 (don't miss Arenal and its almost daily pyrotechnics). And although the wildly diverse and exuberant natural environment here is surrounded by national parks, it remains untamed and largely unexplored. Costa Rica can be explored by 4WD, kayak, taxi-boat, pirogue, horseback and over walkways connecting the treetops of the rainforest canopy. The adventures awaiting you here range from Río Sarapiquí, a foretaste of the Amazon, to the vast plains of Guanacaste, a set from a Western dotted with haciendas, and the trails of the Corcovado, once trod by gold-diggers. They continue in the sultry tropical rainforest, on the slopes of the Valle Central covered with coffee trees and in the languorous Caribbean region fringed with deltas and lagoons, as you cross paths with monkeys, large felines, macaws, quetzals and caymans.
Lastly, the coastline holds some lovely surprises in store for you! There are dozens of dreamy beaches where you can bask in the sun, rest after surfing or diving, and admire the thousands of turtles on some of the islands - as pristine as paradise.
Ecotourism has taken off in this superb and invigorating destination - ideal for nature trips.

For those of you who follow my Twitter account [@kcdyer, in case you are a secret tweeter yourself] , I have to confess to a small jetlag fail. I promised yesterday to announce the date SiWC registration will open for the year last night -- and then I fell asleep.
But I'm conscious once more, and have just finished a newsletter announcement which should be heading out shortly to all our email followers, announcing the actual date. And for you, the faithful blog audience -- a small preview...
Next Wednesday, June 10th at noon, we plan to open registration on-line and by telephone.
There you have it! A full month earlier than last year -- hurrah!
Now, for the next few days, we'll be scrambling to get all the info you need onto the website. The newsletter outlines the list of amazing presenters, but ...jetlag permitting...I'll post 'em here to the blog tomorrow. We'll be updating presenter bios, confirming Master Classes, and outlining the program itself over the next little while.
So hang onto your hats -- registration for SiWC 2009 is almost here. Watch this spot for daily updates. More soon...and don't forget to enter our contest!
also blogging as leftwriter

Usually by this time at least a partial list of presenters is available here, giving us an idea of who's coming, who the agents and editors are, etc.. But I can't find one for 2009. Have I missed it somewhere?

I found the mold for this little guy recently while looking through mold catalogs. He is so unusual, normally, I don't purchase molds like him but I fell in love with him and several others. Really he is so ugly he is cute! I was worried that no one would like him, but lo and behold, he's attracted a lot of attention right off the bat. If you're thinking he'd make a good addition to your kitchen windowsill, he's just waiting for you to take him home. Also he can be made into a planter by cutting the daisies off on top of his head and glazing the inside. Here are the directions for painting him."
Basecoat piece black.
Dry brush wood areas with fog, light grey and highlight with white. Using a clean brush dry brush teeth white. Dry brush all leaves shadow green (use a heavy coat of this color), follow with leaf green and highlight with willow green. Dry brush daisy with cranberry and paradise. Tap mustard on the center of the daisy's and highlight with flaxen yellow. Dry brush mushrooms with toast and highlight tops with mustard. Paint eyes white allowing paint to dry. Paint iris with real brown or a color of your choice with a black pupil. Blush cheeks with dusty rose (Kimple). Spray with sealer.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Allie1107 Beautiful chairs We bought these for our dining room table. They were easy to construct and came with felt bottoms to prevent scratches on the floor. Very sturdy and much larger than I anticipated! Pretty dark wood color and nicely "weathered". Our table is a light wood color and the chairs contrast it nicely. Definitely recommended! February 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohninNebraska Solid, rustic chairs - a great value! We bought 3 pairs of these chairs to use with the Rustic Java Greyson Fixed Dining Table. They are a PERFECT compliment to the table, and we greatly prefer them over the Greyson chairs, since these are easy to keep clean, feel much more solid, and fit our room perfectly. PROS: --Truly good-looking (the slats on the back remind me of an old farmhouse) --Solid (you can flop down on these without wondering if they'll give way) --Great size (compared to other chairs we tried at World Market, these are wide enough to feel comfortable for my 5'8" wife or for me or my father-in-law, both 6'3") --Easily assembled with good directions (the first chair took me about 45-60 minutes to assemble, but once I got the hang of it, each took me about 20-25 minutes) CONS: --Nothing I can think of Each friend who has seen or sat on these chairs has commented on how great they are. These are worth much more than what we paid for them. November 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emjay These are very versatile chairs. I purchased 4 of these chairs to put with the Garner extension table I bought last fall. They are a great fit for the table and are sturdy enough to accommodate my three very large sons. I like furniture with unique qualities and the "distressed" finish on these chairs fits the bill. The table and chair combination looks fantastic with the eclectic antiques I have throughout the living and dining area of my home. Thank you World Market! August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rockrose nice sturdy chairs The chairs look rustic and very sturdy. The high back support is very comfortable. One of the chairs had a missing bolt but the customer service sent me a hardware packet very promptly. I am happy with the design, quality and the price. May 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Angela17 Love these chairs! Just got 4 of these beautiful chairs last week. They are stunning rustic looking chairs and are quite big with high backs then I've seen before. I put them together myself without help in about an hour and had no problems at all. April 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by jamesk Issues with quality control and assembly One chair came out pretty good, the other one in the set did not. The pilot holes drilled on one chair were not centered so the seat is aligned to the left of the backing while the other one is centered. Also, the pilot holes were hard to screw into (not sure if they were drilled all the way). The worst part is the stretchers. 2 out of the 4 screws (for each chair) did not screw into the leg. I think thy were too short, or the pre drilled pilots weren't deep enough. The end result is the strechers are lose and not flush with the legs of the chair. I will probably get a half inch longer screw to finish the job. Overall, quality is not as expected. I got the Francine bench and it went together fine and seems very sturdy. September 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kate14 This product does not meet expectations I purchased 6 of these chairs. While the chairs are beautiful and seem sturdy, 2 were defective. 1 chair had a pilot hole that wasn't drilled all the way through, so the chair didn't fit together correctly. Another chair had a pilot hole drilled in the wrong spot, so again, it wouldn't fit together correctly. April 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sammy May be more assembly needed than you think I bought two sets of these dining chairs. 2 of the chairs were easy to put together, and required only about 20 minutes each chair. The other two were missing pilot holes for the front two legs to be attached to the actual seat, so I had to buy a drill and drill my own pilot holes. The store is quite far from where I live so cost less to drill my own holes than to exchange the chairs for different ones. Not sure how they'll hold but not sure how this made it passed the quality inspection department. For over $500 on 4 chairs I shouldn't have to drill my own pilot holes, the fact that I had to pay this much for dining chairs and still assemble them is enough. Not too happy with my purchase at this point August 21, 2013

Hi everyone! Well, 3 years ago I started this blog. WOW. Seriously? It seems like yesterday chatting with my Dirty Dozen friend, Denise Marzec asking her advise on how to get this buggar started. Man, where has the time gone? AND I can hardly believe all that's happened to me "crafty-wise" in 3 years. My card style has changed 2 or 3 times, I met lots of wonderful friends and have been blessed to be on some of my DREAM design teams! Yes indeed, 3 great years! And did I mention it is my birthday? Yep, I started blogging on my birthday -makes the anniversaries easier to remember, lol!

The best part of indoor surfing—yes, indoor—is there's no waiting for the perfect wave. It's always there. That is as long as the pumps are working. The rest is up to the surfer, and those perfect waves are found at FlowRider.
There are two FlowRider indoor surfing pools in Utah—one in Provo at the Provo Beach Resort and the second in Ogden at the Salomon Center.
Both fall within a larger recreational package. The Provo Beach Resort, for example, offers the surfing wave along with bowling, carousel and arcade. The Salomon Center in Ogden offers along with surfing the IFly (an upward-draft wind tunnel), IRock (a large climbing wall), bowling and an arcade.
FlowRider evolved from an idea for generating a wave of water on an inclined surface to recreate an ocean wave for surfers.
The first was opened in South Africa in 2001 and the second in San Diego in 2005.
Today, FlowRiders are showing up not only at recreation centers around the world but also on cruise ships.
High-powered pumps push a sheet of water about two and a half inches deep up an incline at about 20 miles per hour. The surface is a composite membrane designed to absorb impact of a falling surfer. A single lane is roughly 35 feet wide. The two Utah facilities each have two lanes.
There are two methods of surfing—a FlowBoard, ridden upright, and a BodyBoard, ridden horizontally.
Cameron Grass maneuvers the BodyBoard to the edge of the water to disembark successfully.
The BodyBoard is the easiest ride. It requires no real experience. Riders lay on the board, head up and hands gripped around the nose of the board. Rider and board are slowly lowered on the water on a gradual incline and into the flow of moving water. Then comes the challenge, which is to stay aboard. Gravity pulls the board down and water pushes it up, and a little miscalculation can part rider from the board.
There are two methods for maneuvering the board, either by using hands and feet as rudders or by tilting the board to the right or left. Ride time depends on the skill of the rider. New riders tend to have short rides. The more experienced move fluidly, go for spins and flips and extend their ride.
Leaving the surfing lane is simple enough—roll off the board, either intentionally or unintentionally, and the rushing water pushes the surfer up to the top and into a catch pool.
The FlowBoard resembles a large skateboard minus the wheels. It is ridden like a skateboard and is far more difficult to master than its companion board.
Nathan Chowgule makes a cut on the FloBoard and is able to keep his balance.
Not all adventures turn out successful as this surfer found out.
Riders often start by holding the end of a rope for stability. Once released, it then becomes the responsibility of the rider to angle the board to turn and spin without falling.
"But, there's a real learning curve. People do crash. Some really good athletes have come in, thinking they'll master this the first time out, and they struggle. It takes getting used to," said one manager. "It's different and it's popular. We get individuals, families, birthday parties and even businesses that will bring in their employees either before or after a business meeting."
Requirements are that surfers be 42 inches or taller, and that women wear swim shirts. Only one rider is allowed in a lane at a time.
Sessions are broken down into one-hour blocks. Typically, one side is for BodyBoards and the second for FlowBoards.
The centers also reserve lanes for groups.
And, as noted, the best part is there's no wait time for perfect waves.

Hi, I'm relatively new to Java, Eclipse and leJOS
I keep getting this error during compilation
"The selected resource does not resolve to a Java element"
Being new, I have no idea how to fix this, or even what's wrong really. I had leJOS working months ago, I didn't change anything and now it doesn't work.
Of course, now I've reinstalled JDK, leJOS and JRE so any number of things could have changed, but I'm still getting the same error.
I did adjust the environment variables when reinstalling JDK and leJOS to reflect the newer versions, of course.
Any help would be appreciated

The 22q13 deletion syndrome known as Phelan-McDermid is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, hypotonia, delayed or absent speech, and autistic features. Research on the syndrome to date has focused on the SHANK3 deficiency phenotype, described in multiple case studies.
Scientists at the Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine this week present a first-of-its-kind prospective clinical study assessing patients with SHANK3 deficiency in an effort to paint a more complete picture of Phelan-McDermid syndrome.
Alex Kolevzon, M.D., and his colleagues studied 32 patients with SHANK3 deficiency, finding 22q13.3 deletions ranging in size from 101 kb to 8.45 Mb. Two patients showed de novo SHANK3 mutations. Writing in Molecular Autism, Dr. Kolevzon et al., also report high rates of autism spectrum disorder within the group studied—27 patients (84%) met the criteria. Seventy-seven percent of patients exhibited severe to profound intellectual disability and only five (19%) used some words spontaneously to communicate, the researchers added.
Further, in their genotype-phenotype analysis, the researchers found that "larger deletions were associated with increased levels of dysmorphic features, medical comorbidities, and social communication impairments related to autism."
They add that their clinical, genomic evaluation of Phelan-McDermid syndrome could help guide future research and medical care.
"There is no established standard for assessing this type of autism, and our study provides important guidance in developing such a standard," Dr. Kolevzon said in a statement.
"Knowing how large the deletion of the SHANK3 gene is may have important implications for medical monitoring and individualizing treatment plans," he added, noting that his team's "results also provide much-needed guidance in developing a standardized methodology for evaluating the features of this disorder."
"Prospective investigation of autism and genotype-phenotype correlations in 22q13 deletion syndrome and SHANK3 deficiency" appeared online in Molecular Autism June 11.

The question asked was "what should be the acceleration such that the pressure at both the points marked by thick dots be equal? the vessel is open and cubic with side 5m?"
Initially i considered the diagram to be resembling the figure B where $$\tan(\theta)=a/g$$
but then i realized since the both points are the midpoints of the respective sides, the height of the liquid above the lower point must be half of the height above the point on the side. I took the diagram then to resemble D. Then i got the answer as $a=2g$. Is this CORRECT?
If this had been a closed vessel what would the answer have been? Figure C That is my question.

This week, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in partnership with Play Me, I'm Yours unveiled a unique piano designed by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit designer John Sloboda. "The represented act of smashing the guitar through the top of the piano is an attempt to catch the 'lightening in a bottle' moment when something happens where there's a little bit of danger mixed with excitement," says Sloboda of the Rock Hall's piano design that features a guitar "smashed" into the top of the piano. "Plus, having the electric guitar with the piano feels a little more rock and roll, and seemed fitting because the Rock Hall sponsored the piece."
Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland International Piano Competition teamed up to present Play Me, I'm Yours, curating an interactive art installation composed of 25 uniquely decorated pianos that will be placed throughout Northeast Ohio, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. The idea is to encourage people to meet, connect, communicate and express themselves through the shared experience of musical performance.
Dubbed "Black Magik," the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's piano was inspired by "a quasi-Voodoo/Americana mashup as depicted by the flames, snake, bones and incantation – a Creole welcoming prayer – that are spread throughout the whole thing: piano, guitar and bench," says Sloboda. "Even the tiny drawer pulls that sit over the keys are fashioned into tiny wood-carved skulls."
The whole piano body as well as the guitar and bench were completely stripped of their factory finishes and sanded to give the instruments a raw and distressed look and feel. Colors are subdued and washed-out. Not only is the piano meant to be played, but the guitar (a Strat-style electric guitar) is also fully functional – a feat that involved some creative engineering. Because the portion of the guitar body where the tone and volume controls, and pickup selector switch were located was removed to fit the guitar into the piano, many of the electrical components were rewired and moved to beneath the bridge of the guitar by Rock Hall preparator/exhibits installer Andre Sepetavec. "All you need to do is plug into an amp with power," says Sloboda. "As a happy accident, the tall back of the piano actually allows the guitar to resonate as if it were an acoustic, too. As long as you find the proper footing, two players can work this thing at once."
Play Me, I'm Yours will be presented in Cleveland from July 19 to August 11, 2013. For more information on Play Me, I'm Yours, including piano locations around the University Circle area of Cleveland and hours, click here.

Parents: Avoid long commutes by receiving specialist care in your community via telemedicine. Ask your child's doctor about options.
Until a baby is about 5 months old, he goes through a stage of development that the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome calls The Period of PURPLE Crying.
The common characteristics of this phase are described using the acronym "PURPLE":
Peak of crying: Crying peaks during the second month, then decreases during months three to five.
Unexpected: Crying may come and go unexpectedly for no apparent reason.
Resists soothing: Crying may continue despite all soothing efforts by caregivers.
Pain-like face: Infants may look like they are in pain, even when they are not.
Long lasting: Crying can go on for 30-40 minutes at a time, and often for much longer.
Evening: Crying may occur more in the late afternoon and evening.
The Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children has partnered with CLICK for Babies to bring awareness of Period of PURPLE Crying to Georgia. Learn how to get involved with the knitting campaign.
Soothing is a way to calm your baby. Soothing techniques should be used even when your baby is not crying.
The list below is not an all-inclusive list, as there are many other things you can try to calm your baby's crying. While many of these techniques will work most of the time, nothing works all the time and that is okay. This does not mean there is anything wrong with you or your baby.
When the crying becomes frustrating and you've tried everything to soothe your baby, it's important to take a break.
If a trusted caregiver is not available to help with the baby for a while, put your baby in a safe place and walk away. Take a few minutes to calm yourself down, then go back and check on the baby.
When you take a break, do things that will relax you, such as listening to music, reading a book, taking a bubble bath or having a cup of tea.
Be sure to share this information with all caregivers of your baby.
Created by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome, The Period of PURPLE Crying® is an evidence-based infant abuse prevention program which educates parents and caregivers about normal infant crying and the dangers of shaking an infant.
The Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta began implementing The Period of PURPLE Crying® program in October 2009 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Children's at Scottish Rite location.
Since then, we have added the program to the services included at the Children's at Egleston NICU, our primary care center in Chamblee, the special care unit and prenatal classes at Northside Hospital-Atlanta, and more.
The Center for Safe and Healthy Children is currently partnering with over 30 different organizations in the state which will serve approximately 30,000 families with PURPLE. We are working towards expanding the reach of this program through new partnerships. For more information about The Period of PURPLE Crying® program and its implementation in Georgia, contact Kara Klein.

The Pattern
Since last September, a new TV show from mastermind J.J. Abrams entitled "Fringe" has captivated many viewers with its pursuing of a string of strange crimes called "the Pattern". Well, when the Minnesota Twins have played the New York Yankees in the Bronx in recent years, another type of "Pattern" has emerged. Get your checklist ready, because here it comes:
#1: Joe Nathan (or any other Twins closer) blows a save and the Yankees win. "Check" (Friday night)
#2: Alex Rodriguez single-handedly wins a game (either in walk-off or just plain dominating fashion). "Check" (Saturday afternoon).
#3: A member of the Twins' bullpen (it really doesn't matter which one) takes the long, slow walk back to the dugout while New York fans and players are celebrating. "Check" (Sunday afternoon).
Now, I have to give the Twins credit for battling in all three contests so far, and the pitchers aren't worthy of all the blame due to the nonexistent clutch hitting, but those three things seem to happen nearly every time the Twins and Yanks hook up in NYC.
Oh, Hideki Matsui usually has big games against us as well, so perhaps he can be Monday's hero?
Preview (18-20, 3rd, 3.0 GB DET): Glen Perkins (1-2, 4.27) vs. Andy Pettitte (3-1, 4.00).

One of the most intimidating men to ever play in the NBA, former Utah Jazz center Mark Eaton stands at an impressive 7' 4". Nearly two decades after his 11-year-long career with the team, he still leads the league in blocks for a single season, he was in the 1989 NBA All-Star Game, and he helped the Jazz win their division for the first time in team history. Today, as co-owner of local restaurants Tuscany and Franck's, Eaton is more likely to brag about Chef Franck Peissel's towering carrot cake than blocking Larry Bird's shots. And even though his basketball days are behind him, the big man is still an inspiration—in more ways than one.
Before entering the NBA or food industry, Eaton was a car mechanic who was self-conscience about his height. When he played basketball in high school in Southern California, even though everyone told him he'd be good because of his reach, he was usually benched. Eaton eventually decided basketball wasn't for him, until the day coach Tom Lubin from Cypress Junior College in Cyprus, Calif. walked into his auto shop, convinced he could show Eaton how to capitalize on his size.
Now Eaton shares his story of going from turning wrenches to shooting hoops as a motivational speaker.
"I considered my height a liability, and then this coach convinced me, over time, to give it another try," he says. "Tom showed me another aspect to the game—a new horizon opened up for me." Eaton owns his height by running his website 7ft4.com, serving the 7' 4" Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake at Tuscany, and previously running a basketball program for at-risk kids called Standing Tall for Youth.
He says he took what made him uncomfortable and made it his greatest asset, and he mentions it in his motivational speech. "It's about accepting and owning who you are as a human being—all the pluses and minuses," he says. "It's saying, 'These are the tools I have to work with. What else can I do with them?'"
Eaton usually delivers his speech, The Four Commitments of a Winning Team, to private businesses and at business conventions. "That's probably 80 percent of what I do now," he says. The four key elements are knowing the job, following directions, making co-workers look good and making sure co-workers look out for one another. Park City screenwriter Stacy Dymalski helped Eaton draft his speech, and now he gets coaching from speech coach Lisa Yakobi. "I speak about 70 to 80 times per year," he says. "It's authentic, and it's my message."
Within the next year or two, Eaton plans to use his speech to help him write a book, while Dymalski used the same inspiration to write a screenplay about Eaton's life she hopes will one day be filmed.

ZF-4187: Captcha session expires on 1 global hop instead of 1 namespace hop
I am not sure if this is the desired behaviour, but in version 1.6.0 captcha sessions expire after one global hop. This means that if for example we use captcha on comment field and some user opens 2 or more pages from our site - in his browser tabs for example, each page of these with some article and field for comment, secured with captcha. Only the last opened window will contain solvable captcha, all the others would have been expired.
Better solution is to make captcha sessions expire on 1 namespace hop, so in Zend/Captcha/Word.php on line 224 instead of
$this->_session->setExpirationHops(1); to be $this->_session->setExpirationHops(1, null, true);
We had identified this solution already, but not created a ticket for it; thanks for posting it.
This same solution will be utilized for the Hash element, btw.
Hi there. I also think that expiration hops may be added as and option to captcha. So we can call $captcha->setSessionExpirationHops(variable);
@Hristo Angelov:
Allowing more than 1 namespace hop would introduce security issues. Potential attacker can bypass captcha by solving it once and then using the same captcha ID (which will be still valid, because you have increased the expiration hops) with the found answer.
Fixed in trunk and 1.6 release branch; will releaes with 1.6.1

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shea752 Better than Expected Online this candle looks burgundy (deep red), but in person it is brown (see attached photo and/or look at the picture for the votive sized candle to get a better understanding of the color - the filled jar or tea light are a solid color but they took are closer to the actual color of the candles). It is called Indonesian Teak and I'm not quite sure what that wood is supposed to smell like, but to me it smells like patchouli and cinnamon. It is neither the color or scent advertised and because of that it is much better than I expected it to be. But if you are expecting/wanting it to be burgundy colored and teak/birch and amber scented, you are going to be disappointed. I have not yet burned this candle, but if it is like any of my other ones, it smells just as good burning as at rest (only you can be far away and smell it. I used this and two others to create a candlescape for my bathroom, the colors work perfectly. If I am to burn this though, it'd be one at a time (I think Brazilian Orchid, Tahitian Vanilla, and Indonesian Teak would clash together). May 25, 2014
