|Walker honored by WAC
DENVER - Idaho freshman outside hitter Allison Walker has been named Verizon Western Athletic Conference Volleyball Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 1-7. This is the first WAC Player of the Week honor of her career.
Walker, from Othello, Wash. (Othello HS), led the Vandals to a pair of five-set road victories last week over Nevada and Utah State. Walker had a double-double in Idaho's win at Utah State, compiling career-highs of 27 kills and five blocks with 11 digs. She had 22 kills, four digs and three blocks in the victory at Nevada. On the week, Walker tallied 49 kills with a .284 hitting percentage. She averaged 4.9 kills, 1.5 digs and 5.4 points per set.
"Our outsides, both Allison and Alicia Milo, played a huge part," Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. "A majority of the sets went to them on the outside, so I think that's a combined effort. I think Allison did some great things, obviously her numbers were great, she had a lot of kills. But I think both of our outsides really pulled through for our team because when we passed the ball well they had a majority of our kills."
Idaho's two wins on the week boosted the Vandals into third place in the WAC standings, as the Vandals battle for positioning in the six-team WAC tournament.
The honor is the second WAC Player of the Week honor for a Vandal this season, as Kelsey Taylor earned the nod for the week of Sept. 27-Oct.3.
The Vandals will be at home for three of their final four matches of the season, as they host New Mexico State (Nov. 11), Louisiana Tech (Nov. 13) and Fresno State (Nov. 15) before wrapping up the regular season at Hawai'i on Nov. 18. The WAC tournament is Nov. 22-24 in Las Vegas, Nev.

Inflight Coverall Garment, Trousers, Aldrin, Apollo 11
These trousers are part of a four-piece inflight coverall garment worn by astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin during his Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.
The complete garment, made by the B. Welson Company, consists of jacket, trousers and boots which had a circular Velcro patch on the soles. It is constructed of a Teflon-coated beta cloth which is highly fire resistant, and the "slippery" qualities of the fabric enabled the astronaut to don and doff the garment with ease in a weightless environment.
The jacket had a US flag on the left shoulder and a NASA "meatball" logo on the upper torso. Flight garments also had a mission symbol attached to the upper torso.

Princeton Places Third At Lightweight Invitational On Charles River
Princeton finished third in the Sunday morning regatta on the Charles River in a time of 7:17.5. Harvard, ranked second in the nation coming into the weekend, will likely ascend to the top spot after winning in 7:05.7. Stanford, the three-time reigning national champion, finished second in 7:11.1.
"It wasn't the results we hoped for, but it appears that all of our boats are in the hunt for medals at the championship part of the season," head coach Paul Rassam said. "And we look forward towards making that a reality."
The Princeton second varsity took second in its final. Harvard won in 7:25.7, while Princeton topped Stanford in a time of 7:33.5; the Cardinal finished third in 7:38.9. The Princeton novice four placed fourth in 9:18.2
This was the lone race of the weekend for Princeton; the Tigers had been scheduled to take on Harvard for the Class of 1999 Cup Saturday morning, but that was cancelled following the police activity in Boston throughout Friday.
Princeton will be back on the road next Saturday to take on Georgetown for the Class of 2006 Cup. The Tigers defeated the Hoyas by more than two seconds last season on Lake Carnegie.

So I decided to get my new WLA front brake linings bonded onto the old shoes because the old drum is so rough it will soon tear into the rivet heads. (Out of work, so on a real tight budget here)
But on reassembly, the shoes appear to be at least a quarter inch too short where they mate up to the cam. And they are about a quarter inch off matching the curve of the drum too.
I did not notice this problem on disassembly, so am pretty sure it fitted together in the normal way before.
Do you suppose the shoes contracted during the bonding process due to heat releasing stresses of a million duty cycles since 1942 and pulled the ends of the "C" in closer together?
Even with the offset cam lobes reversed, there is no way those shoes are close to mating up right.
Anyone ever come across this before?
And does anyone have a good set of WLA front shoes out there they could measure up for me?
Mine measure 6-1/4" across the outside of the "C" as shown in pic, outside edge to outside edge.
I want to make sure my problem is actually undersized shoes before I get new ones shipped from the US to Oz and not something else like mismatched other components etc.
Would be much appreciated if someone could give me a meausurement for new or newish shoes that fight right.

A Tuesday holiday from the work week will probably feel even more strange than the Wednesday July 4 holiday we just had, and if you don't want to spend your day with the thousands of spectators gathering in downtown SLC for the Days of '47 Parade, you'll be glad to know there are a few worthy options for your day that don't involve a non-stop train of pioneer-themed floats and outfits.
For my money, it's hard to beat a rodeo for primo entertainment–you get extreme action courtesy of the cowboys doing their ropin', ridin' and rasslin' various forms of livestock, and near-death experiences thanks to the bull-riding events. Beats a movie, right? The official Days of '47 Rodeo is going down at the Maverik Center in West Valley City Tuesday at 7 p.m, and tickets start at just $10.
One of my favorite Pioneer Day diversions each year is the Native American Celebration in the Park Powwow, where Native American tribes from Utah gather at Liberty Park for an all-day festival featuring music, dance, arts and crafts from their respective cultures. The celebration runs from noon until 10 p.m., and most of it is free; there's a $5 charge for the evening powwow.
The appeal of the This is the Place Pioneer Day Celebration can be summed up in two words: candy cannon. Yes, there are more typical pioneer-related attractions at the park, including a pie-eating contest, games and crafts for the kids, live music and train rides. But the image of a cannon blasting children with confections–that's a holiday activity I can totally get behind. The party runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and tickets are $10
Another annual treat that comes with Pioneer Day is the free admission available at Red Butte Garden. Expect a crowd when the park opens at 10 a.m. And the Salt Lake Bees are in town, playing a home game against Sacramento, followed by fireworks that will be part of a night full of them.
What will I be doing? A house party at a friend's place to celebrate "Pie and Beer Day," an annual ritual for many of us Utahns who aren't part of the dominant religion. That's always a good option when you're not in the mood to deal with Pioneer Day crowds–just be sure to hit the liquor store on Monday.

text: 11.07.13 How to Save on Your Utility Bills This Winter Last year's warmer winter meant a drop in natural gas prices and winter utility bills – people simply used less gas to heat their homes. If we face a more seasonable winter this year, homeowners and renters could be in for a modest increase in utility bills this year. While you can't control natural gas prices, there are easy ways to keep your home warm and save money on your utility bills. Figure out where you're going wrong One of the first steps to reducing your monthly bills is to find out where you're wasting energy. Is your house drafty? Are your windows leaking heat? While a professional home energy audit can help you save money, calling the pros can be pricey. To save money, try a do-it-yourself audit to track down air leaks and find inefficient electronics and lighting. Plugging air leaks is one of the cheapest and easiest home fixes that can result in real energy savings— in a typical home, plugging leaks can help save up to 10% on heating bills, fuel consumption and emissions during the heating season, according to the Department of Energy. Kill the lights (and your other bad habits). Sometimes the little things make all the difference. Do you ever forget to unplug your phone when it's done charging? The drain on energy from "off" electronics can add around 5%-10% to the average residential energy bill, so remember to unplug your electronics when you're not using them. Keep doors, windows and curtains shut. Grab an extra sweater and lower the heat a few degrees. And of course, don't forget to hit the lights if you're not using a room. Try new tricks Warm air rises, leaving many rooms in the lower parts of the house chilly. To combat this, change your ceiling fans to spin clockwise to push the warm air back down to you. Put away the grill, and get ready to bake – turning on the oven to make those holiday treats can really warm up your house. If you have a fireplace, don't forget to close the flue, which can let in a big draft. Take advantage of tax rebates Making home improvements now can help you save money in the long run. The IRS offers tax credits like the Residential Energy Efficient Tax Credit, which offers a credit on everything from energy-efficient furnaces to heat-saving insulation. This is the last year the IRS is offering this credit, so making your upgrades before the year ends could help boost your tax refund. In addition, state governments offer many tax credits, rebates and savings programs to help make energy-efficient home improvement products more affordable. In some cases, tax incentives can help you save up to 30% of the cost of improvements like insulation new doors, or new windows." By breaking a few old habits and learning a few new tricks, you can prepare to save on utilities this winter. Make sure to save your receipts and ask your local Jackson Hewitt tax preparer about tax credits you may be eligible for this tax season. For more information, visit Jackson Hewitt's My JH.

Tami is a librarian at the Corte Madera Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
Anne T. Kent California Room Librarian Laurie Thompson will talk about the Legacy of the Kent Family at the Corte Madera Library on Thursday, May 3rd from 7 to 8 P.M.
Albert and Adaline Kent and their son William first came to Marin in 1871. The following year Albert purchased 13 acres in the future Kent Woodlands. In 1875 he bought 395 adjacent acres, and he continued buying property in the county till his death in 1901. William picked up where his father left off, purchasing property on Mt. Tamalpais and in Redwood Canyon, the future Muir Woods. Thanks to the latter purchase the redwoods were saved from logging and preserved for public enjoyment. Over the years the Kents made many contributions to Marin County, and it is this legacy that Laurie will discuss.

I have been practicing digital painting from life as well as some color studies. Here are some of the results. The first one is a quick painting of an M16 round laying on my desk. The second I just tried to match the colors with the original photo. The last painting I tried to depict sadness and depression with colors.

Good designs and very nice digital paints. The pictures of the guns also look strong. You seem to be aware of what you need to work one. Anatomy mostly. How do you go about your training? Is there figure drawing classes were you live? Those are great. Otherwise working from anatomy books and pictures. Maybe going out and drawing people that walk by. This is very difficult but good practice.
August 16th, 2009 #9
Bergulf thanks! Right now I attend the Art Institute Online but I do most of my drawing from anatomy books and pictures of random people from the internet. I have one more year left in the Air Force then I am going to Gnomon School of Visual Effects to work on my foundation skills. Besides hands and feet are there other areas of anatomy that I really need to work on?
August 16th, 2009 #10
I really have to say that those gun sketches look reaaally good, well everything is nice and clean to be honest! And that bullet made me a bit nostalgic about my days in the army .

I don't think there is any area of anatomy that one should focus more on then the rest. Doing a lot of fairly quick full body sketches and trying to capture the pose and movement with minimal lines I think is good practice. Figuring out how all the different parts of the body move together and making it look convincing I think is the most important.
August 18th, 2009 #12
Here are some female body studies. There bodies are so smooth yet for me they are really hard to get right. The other images are doodles during John Mueller's portfolio class.

looks like your biggest problem right now is anatomy.
I'll recommend the usual staples: George Bridgman, Joseph Sheppard, and Andrew Loomis. Get a book by each of these guys, because theres a lot of good stuff in it, and you can learn a lot by studying the drawings in them.
P.S. the magnum is *sweet*!Doctors heal you, Artists immortalize you.
"Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach" - bullshit.

The research interests of the Gross Lab are mainly focused on the GPCR rhodopsin-mediated retinal degenerations and molecular mechanisms of photoreceptor membrane biogenesis; in particular, the molecular interactions necessary for formation of healthy photoreceptors. Studies are currently focused on understanding those interactions that are defective when rhodopsin lacks the proper structure at its carboxy-terminus, as is the case in several of most forms of the blinding disease autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. Knock-in mice and transgenic Xenopus laevis bearing rhodopsin carboxy-terminal mutations are being used and new ones constructed to aid in the detection of binding partners to the C-terminus of rhodopsin implicated in rhodopsin trafficking.

Hosted by and for consumers with mental illness, the Catholic Charities Beacon of Hope annual talent show and dinner theatre– now in its twenty-eighth year — is always packed with creativity, comedy and fun.
But this year's show held at the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Center in Harlem on May 1 went over the top thanks to a last-minute rendition of "God Bless America" belted out by the Harlem Alumni Boys and Girls Choir.
Catholic Charities Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Center is always a hopping place. Dance classes, music, theatre and social service programs fill this central Harlem meeting spot day in and day out from its basement to its top floor.
Sometimes the synergy morphs into magic, as it did on Talent Show night.
Ninety consumers along with family and friends from Beacon of Hope residential programs and its vocational club house had already feasted at the dinner theatre event as fellow consumers emceed and regaled them with a fashion show, songs, dances, original poetry, and outstanding music played on the guitar, drums and harmonica.
A special night like this, however, seemed to need something extra, said Damian Buzzerio, who helped coordinate a team of five volunteers that helped at the event. That's when the Harlem Alumni Boys and Girls Choir that had been training in their usual rehearsal room, made their surprise appearance. As their special gift to this special group, the choir trooped on stage and belted out God Bless America.
"It is becoming more and more difficult to find such a special and safe place for events such as these to flourish," says Debbie Ciraolo, an American Sign Language interpreter with Beacon of Hope who assisted with the show. "I cherish this experience."

Now recommending them to a family member who is getting married. July 4, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by MadMeg Good Price for nice set of wine glasses I seem to break wine glasses too easily. So, I wanted something that looked and felt nice (not heavy and clunky) but that didn't cost too much. These fit the bill! Simple and elegant, and very reasonably priced! June 15, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ed Great value, excellent quality Excellent quality and a great value, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from World Market again. March 18, 2009

I've noticed that polar expeditions seem to favour tunnel tents, and mountaineering expeditions prefer geodesic designs. Is there a reason why one design fares better than the other in its preferred environment?

Here's how it works:

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The key advantage of a geodesic design is the pole configuration can support a greater static load. This means they are favoured for mountaineering expeditions because they can withstand a heavy snow fall (compared with a tunnel design that would sag with the weight of the snow between each pole).
Tunnel tents are preferred for polar expeditions as they generally have a better weight to space ratio (the walls are more "vertical" than an equivalent geodesic design), they are simpler and quicker to pitch and as many regions of the Poles have little precipitation (some areas being classified as desert) the ability to withstand heavy snowfall is much less of a consideration.

July Bee Blocks
Ah, applique. It's really just not my thing. So when Rachel asked for this Bubble block in blues and greens and grays, with circles appliqued to a Kona background, I was a little nervous. I hoped putting it together would change my mind about applique. Nope, it still isn't my thing. But I do love how this block looks.
I'm linking up to Sew Modern Monday. Have a great week!

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
All animal bites require treatment based on the type and severity of the wound. Whether the bite is from a family pet or an animal in the wild, scratches and bites can become infected and cause scarring. Animals can also carry diseases that can be transmitted through a bite. Bites that break the skin and bites of the scalp, face, hand, wrist, or foot are more likely to become infected. Cat scratches, even from a kitten, can carry "cat scratch disease," a bacterial infection.
Other animals can transmit rabies and tetanus. High-risk species include raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats. Rodents such as mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, and rabbits are at low risk to carry rabies.
The most common type of animal bite is a dog bite. Up to 3 million people receive animal bites each year, and most bites are dog bites. Follow these guidelines to help decrease the chance of your child being bit by an animal:

- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

- Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full. Combine lemon peel and remaining sugar; sprinkle over batter.

Reviews for Lemon Blueberry Muffins
"I have been making these for years and they are to die for! Always get compliments. Be careful to use only the yellow rind of the lemon and not the white pith."
"I didn't have any bisquick in the house so I used a recipe for homemade bisquick. (2cup (125 g) flour, 3 teaspoons (8 g) baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoon (15 g) shortening, oil, or melted butter, mix dry ingredients and then cut in the shortening/oil or melted butter) After I added the sour cream and egg this batter was very, very dry I had to add 2 tbs lemon juice and enough milk to make a half cup of additional liquid. That made the batter just the right consistency. Overall I thought these muffins were really tasty and easy to make. Next time I will have Bisquick on hand to see if it works without the addition of the extra liquid."
"They were not sweet enough. After the first batch I started using 3/4 cup of sugar. Great base recipe though! I used it to make banana walnut and chocolate chip also."
"my kids INHALED these!! Doubled the recipe so that I could keep extras in the freezer for a quick on go breakfast. After baking, I also drizzled them with a glaze of lemon juice and powdered sugar for an extra citrus punch. This one is a keeper for sure!!"
"Found them to be dry. Will try again and make a few adjustments."

Biz Picture - A recap of the week's top business stories
Published: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 6:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 2:45 a.m.
Closed Galleria under contract by developer
A Virginia developer of multifamily housing has signed a letter of intent to purchase the empty Galleria shopping center on Wrightsville Avenue.
Woodfield Investments bought the center at 6800 Wrightsville Ave., and if the deal closes it will be "a pretty sizeable transaction," said Brian Eckel of Cape Fear Commercial, who along with Hank Miller represents the seller.
Eckel didn't give a selling or asking price for the property, which had five bidders.
The 97,864-square-foot center sits on 12 acres. The property is actually in Wrightsville Beach although it is located on the mainland section of New Hanover County.
Growing brewery eyes Port City
A Detroit-based brewery is interested in opening a beer-making and bottling operation in Wilmington.
Atwater Brewery would need 75,000 square feet for the operation and could hire between 30 and 70 employees, if it comes to the Port City.
"We feel like we should be exploring locations outside of Detroit," said Jason Schrider, the company's operations manager. "We have growing distribution in the East and going south," Schrider said, adding that Wilmington is well-placed to serve that market.
Deal means additional jobs at GE Hitachi
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy has signed a multi-year agreement with Dominion Virginia Power that could immediately result in dozens of new jobs at its Castle Hayne facilities.
GEH will engineer its new ESBWR nuclear reactor design specifically for Dominion's North Anna site, although it isn't a commitment to build a new reactor.
U.S. home sales strong despite low supply
Tight inventories slowed down U.S. home sales in March. But the lack of choices helped boost home prices.
Even with the lack of homes on the market, sales in March were 10.3 percent higher than a year earlier.
The median price rose 11.8 percent from February to March to $184,300, the biggest one-month gain since 2005, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Rising demand and short supplies also have encouraged builders to boost construction. U.S. builders started work on more than 1 million homes at an annual pace in March, the first time they've topped that threshold in nearly five years.

Venus de Miles: It's Not Just for Women with Road Bikes Anymore.
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
Listen to Dream Team Rider, Heather Irmiger
and Leah Goldstein, talk about their role
in Venus de Miles
You've probably never seen me on a road bike. That's because I've never ridden one. Unless you count my sweet 10-speed bike I had way back when. When I wore monogrammed sweaters and had a bi-level haircut and I thought Shaun Cassidy was cool. That's why it might surprise you that I've decided to ride in the Venus de Miles. Yep. You read that right. I was thinking about riding my pink mountain bike and I know you can ride anything you want but I figure we might as well make this an experience to really remember by putting myself on a bike with very skinny tires. And so I called my buddy at the Trek store here in Boulder. And thanks to Chris and Trek, I will be straddling something with very skinny tires (compared to my mountain bike) and a gearing system I'm sure will be way over my head.
This will be the 5th year for the Venus de Miles and it seems to get bigger and quite possibly better every year. It is not a race and so if you're thinking to yourself, "I'm not as fast as Cheri" or "I'm not in as good of shape as Cheri" then you can stop right there. Oh. You weren't thinking that at all? Awkward! But seriously, this ride is about raising money for the Greenhouse Scholars. And the Greenhouse Scholars provides financial, practical and personal support to high achieving under resourced people. Bottom line=It helps people fulfill their educational goals. To date, over $379,000 has been raised! This is an easy way to make a difference and support people who want to get an education and have fun! Win. Win. Win.
There are four options for ride length; 100, 67, 51 and 33 miles. And my favorite part? If you wake up and you're not feeling the 57 mile ride you signed up for you can change your mind! You can ride the 33 mile route. Lately I've been seeing some cyclists around town with a pacer person on a scooter. I think the scooter person carries refreshments and yells at the cyclists for encouragement. I also think I want one of these people. But the closest thing I will come to a scooter person is my Eurovan with my husband and three kids. I can see it now. My kids would be yelling out the window at me, "Are we there yet?" and "What are you making for dinner?" Somehow I think the cyclists with the people on the scooters are having a totally different experience. I knew I shouldn't have sold my scooter.
Well, I better get to figuring out what to wear for the Venus de Miles. And if all this makes you want to sign up you still can—registration closes at midnight on 8/19. And in case you're wondering, I signed up for the 67 mile ride. I figured, "Go big or stay at home and drink coffee." Stay tuned!

More than any other artist, Waters played a significant role in making the connection between deep Mississippi Delta blues and hard edged, urban and electric Chicago blues. Since Waters' rise to prominence in the early 1950's at least two generations of American and British music giants have been influenced by Waters including Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bonnie Raitt and the Rolling Stones (who named their group after one of Waters' songs).
Sunday, September 24 at 8:00pm
On Saturday, November 15 from 9am until 4pm at Case Western Reserve University, scholars, artists, journalists and fans gathered at a conference to reflect on the career of Muddy Waters and his impact on electric blues and rock and roll. Events included a screening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony of Muddy Waters, panels exploring the history of Chess Records, the impact of the Delta blues on Waters' music, Waters' influence on popular music in the United States, the British Invasion's relationship with Waters' music, the culture of the blues and race politics, as well as Waters' influence on contemporary music.

|Four Vandals chosen
University of Idaho center Mike Marboe is one of four Vandals chosen to Phil Steele's College Football Preseason All-Independent team. Marboe, who earlier this week was announced as a member of the Rimington Watch List for the second successive season, is a first-team All-Independent choice.
Joining him are second-team selection Solomon Dixon, a sophomore cornerback, and third-team choices Najee Lovett (senior receiver) and Maxx Forde (junior defensive end).
Marboe, from Wenatchee, Wash., has started 24 consecutive games and is a two-time Rimington Watch List choice.
Dixon, from Honolulu, Hawai`i, led the Vandals with three interceptions as a redshirt freshman last season. He played in all 12 games and started four in totaling 36 total tackles (27 solo and nine assists). He also had three pass breakups.
Lovett, from Berkeley, Calif., joined the Vandals last season and was Idaho's second-leading receiver with 50 receptions for 543 yards and a team-best six touchdowns.
Forde, from Woodinville, Wash., had 37 total tackles (18 solo and 19 assists) with four sacks and five tackles for loss along with four hurries and four pass breakups. He also saw significant action as a redshirt freshman in 2011.
The Vandals, playing as an independent for the second time in school history, open the season at North Texas (Denton) on Aug. 31.

Looks cool
i think thats photoshopped maybe
Photoshopped directly from E3 :|
alright this might be fucking awesome, but what is this hand held thing. is it actually for the wii.
It's the new controller and also some tie in to their next console.
The screen is for extra things for the game. For this it's the camera, in Zelda it's your inventory and it's your view of the golf ball in golf games etc. It also has the ability to switch from your screen to that. So if someone comes into the room and wants to use the TV, you can continue straight to the controller like a gameboy rather than having to shut down.
why cant people just make regular video game systems with controllers anymore
nanaki this is fake
The really fake U kind of gave it away
Also as far as dumb peripherals go, this is pretty tame. I miss old consoles that weren't so dumb and without KINECT and MOVE, but this is fine by me.

Perfect camping, very clean, modern houses! Improvement suggestion is the outdated wifi useage. Helpfull people, clean toilet buildings. Would like to come back when the wifi is multi useable. Good french fries / chips available.
Clean and comfortable. Friendly hostess. Handy for the Circumvesuviana train station for Napoli, Sorrento and Vesuvius sites. Friendly little neighbourhood shop very handy. Our apartment did not have balcony as claimed - others in the complex did. Some noise from neighbouring flat. Very much enjoyed our stay.
After paying for this apartment in full, I was told only 1 week before travel that it had become 'unavailable', without any further explanation. Not a long time to reorganise accommodation in Rome. I was travelling with my work colleagues to a conference so we had specific room and location requirements. Needless to say there was not much available in our price range at such sort notice. Very disappointing!!!
Cosy and nice appartment near the town. Clean and well worked appartment. When we arrived we didn't know if we were on the right address but a very nice lady came out and met us and showed us in. The lady was supernice and she was very friendly.
Thank you for this time, we hope to see you again!
We had a very nice stay in Supetar! The apartment was only 100m from the promenade, the apartment was clean and we had a beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the town and sea.
Ivo and his mother where very kind, she even surprised us with a homemade apfelstrudel!
We can recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Supetar!
Clean and a good restaurant!
The position of the apartment is very good. The apartment could use a brush up. I am very angry that they charge 80 € for final cleaning. The apartment was very dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The bathroom was full of mould fungus and the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned for years, it was black from dirt on the lower part. There was a lot of big stains on the bed covers, they had not been cleaned for a long time. The price for this apartment is way too high when it is so dirty. Today, 4 days after we left, me and my daughter still have problems with our respiration.
After paying for this property I got an email a few days later saying that there had been a double booking and my booking was not valid.
The company were polite and efficient and I got my refund within a few days, but it was disappointing.
Booked a hotel instead.
It was a fantanstic stay in the apartment in Le Ginestre.
The beach is very nice and in the town are a few supermarkets.
Unfortunately was the wifi (we had to pay for that) not so well, in our apartment we had no signal.

To add a printer, Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) users should open the Printer Setup Utility and click on the Add icon at the top of the Printer List window. A new window will open. In that window, click the Default Browser icon at the top left. Highlight your printer in the section below. Use the "Print Using" pop-up menu near the bottom of the window to select the correct PPD for your printer and click Add.
Jaguar (OS X 10.2.x) and Panther (OS X 10.3.x) users should open Print Center (Jaguar) or Printer Setup Utility (Panther), hold down the Option key, and click the Add Printer button in the Print Center toolbar. Within the setup sheet, choose Advanced from the top popup menu; then in the "Device:" popup menu select your printer by name (it should be the last item in the menu list). Finally, select the correct PPD from the model browser and click Add.

Strategies for conserving laptop battery power
Have you ever run out of battery power on your mobile PC during a meeting or a class? Have you worried about running out of power while waiting to meet with a client? Have you asked yourself how much longer your battery will last? Sufficient battery life is a persistent challenge for mobile PC users. But Windows offers several ways to help maximize the battery life of your laptop.
In this article, I'll discuss how to take advantage of Windows settings to manage power more efficiently. I'll also introduce some non-software related tips that you can use to extend battery life.

Optimize your power settings
The display and hard disk on your mobile PC are the two biggest consumers of battery power. By choosing a power plan (called a power scheme in Windows XP) you can extend your battery life. A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that control how your mobile PC manages power.
Windows 7
Windows 7 has two default power plans:
Balanced: Automatically balances performance with energy consumption on capable hardware.
Power saver: Saves energy by reducing your computer's performance where possible.
Change your power plan
Click the battery meter icon, located in the notification area on the Windows taskbar.
Select either the Balanced or Power saver power plan.
Windows XP users
Windows XP includes two power schemes that were created specifically for mobile PCs.
The Portable/Laptop power scheme minimizes the use of power to conserve your battery, but adjusts to your processing needs so that the system speed is not sacrificed.
The Max Battery power scheme minimizes power use but does not adjust as your processing demands change. You should use Max Battery only in situations that require minimal processing, such as reading documents and taking notes in a meeting.
Use a power scheme designed to maximize battery life:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Control Panel, verify that you're in Category view, and then click Performance and Maintenance.
In the Performance and Maintenance window, click Power Options.
On the Power Schemes tab of the Power Options Properties dialog box, click the arrow under Power schemes, and then click Max Battery.
Click OK.
You can also create a custom power scheme to suit your specific needs. You can create as many custom power schemes as you want.
Take advantage of low-power states
The different versions of Windows provide the following battery-saving states:
Windows 7: sleep and hibernation (which is like deep sleep)
Windows Vista sleep and hybrid sleep (which is a combination of sleep and hibernation)
Windows XP standby (which is like snoozing) and hibernation (which is like deep sleep)
Sleep (Standby)
In a sleep state (standby), your display and hard disk turn off, and all open programs and files are saved in random access memory (RAM)—your computer's temporary memory—rather than to the hard disk. Information stored in RAM is cleared when the computer turns off, so it's a good idea to save your work before placing your system in standby mode. Otherwise, you may lose data if you lose power, you swap batteries, or your system crashes.
Sleep (standby) is particularly useful when you're using your mobile PC intermittently during the day. For example, when driving between clients' offices during the day, put your computer to sleep or on standby to maximize the life of your battery and maintain quick access to open programs, files, and documents. When you want to use your computer again, it wakes up quickly, and your desktop is restored exactly as you left it.
In hibernation, your computer saves everything to your hard disk and then shuts down. When you restart the computer, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it. Hibernation uses less power than the sleep state (standby), but it takes a bit longer to resume.
Hybrid Sleep
Hybrid sleep is a power-saving feature designed primarily for desktop computers. Hybrid sleep saves any open documents and programs to memory and to your hard disk drive, and then puts your computer into a low-power state.
Adjust screen brightness
You can also conserve battery by reducing the screen brightness. To adjust your screen brightness, refer to the instructions from your mobile PC manufacturer. Every computer is slightly different, but you can usually use a combination of keys, a function key, or a software tool to dim the screen.
Even better than dimming the screen is blanking it completely when you're not using your computer. You can further minimize power consumption by reducing the amount of time the computer is idle before the screen goes blank.
Turn off wireless
Another significant drain on your battery power is your wireless card. You should turn off your wireless device when you're using your mobile PC but are not connected to a wireless network. You can either remove your Wi-Fi card or press the manual hardware button on your computer if you're using a Centrino-based mobile PC. Refer to the instructions from your mobile PC manufacturer to learn where the manual hardware button is.
Additional power saving tips
In addition to adjusting power settings to maximize battery life, consider the following tips to minimize power consumption when you're away from electrical outlets.
Turn off scheduled tasks. If you use scheduled tasks to run programs or scripts, or if you schedule other tasks to occur automatically at a preset time, specify that these tasks won't be performed when the computer is running on battery power.
Keep the use of tools in the notification bar to a minimum. Try to minimize your CPU's usage. Look at the notification area of the taskbar and close any tools (or utilities) that are not necessary. Often, these tools are installed on the computer when you first receive it. Windows 7 users can also click the up arrow at the end of the notification area to see tools and utilities that are hidden but available. The notification bar, shown below, is on the bottom right of your computer desktop.
Limit power-intensive activities. Avoid watching a DVD or playing online games on your mobile PC when you need to conserve battery power.
Add memory. You can minimize the reliance of Windows on virtual memory and reduce power consumption by adding memory (RAM) to your mobile PC.
Carry at least one spare battery. Buying an extra battery is a good investment for your peace of mind. Battery prices vary widely. You can significantly increase the power available to you if you're willing to splurge a little. Contact the manufacturer of your mobile PC to find a replacement battery.
Charge your battery often. When you're on the road, be sure to carry a power cord and plug your computer in whenever you have the chance.
Completely drain nickel-based batteries. If you're using an older laptop (at least 3 years old) with a nickel hydride battery, be sure to completely drain it and recharge it monthly to ensure that it will hold its charge. Most newer mobile PCs use lithium ion batteries, which don't need to be drained to maximize their capacity.
By adjusting your laptop settings to conserve battery power and by implementing these tips, you can relieve the stress and inconvenience of running out of battery power.

SURPRISE, Ariz. - Despite outhitting Cal State Bakersfield 10-4, it was the Roadrunners who got the best of the Sun Devils on Thursday night in Surprise, beating ASU 2-1 in 10 innings at Surprise Stadium. The loss drops the Devils to 6-2 on the year.
Bakersfield's Cael Brockmeyer, who entered the game in the seventh inning, provided the winning margin with his leadoff home run in the 10th off of Mitch Lambson (0-1).
Starter Jake Barrett was fantastic, allowing only an unearned run in his six innings, but he was out-dueled by Tommy Hoenshell, who went nine and allowed only one run to earn the win. Martin Medina picked up the save, his third.
Both teams traded zeros until the fifth, when the Roadrunners took advantage of a Riccio Torrez throwing error that allowed Oscar Sanay to reach. He came around to score on a two-out double by DC Legg that gave CSUB a 1-0 lead.
The Devils would even things up in the seventh thanks to some clutch hitting by Austin Barnes. With two out, Deven Marrero and Matt Newman each singled, bringing Barnes up with runners at the corners. He scorched a single to right to score Marrero and tie the game.
Arizona State looked like they would win it in the ninth, putting two on with one out, but Hoenshell worked out of the jam to send it to extra innings, allowing Brockmeyer to put the Runners ahead. ASU threatened in the 10th when they put the first two runners on, but Medina would close the door, giving Cal State Bakersfield the upset win.
Marrero had three hits in the loss and Riccio Torrez and Newman each contributed two. Barrett struck out six in his outing, getting the no decision.
The Sun Devils will face the Northern Illinois Huskies on Friday night at Surprise Stadium. The game will begin 45 minutes following the MLB Spring Training game.

There have been four major log jams in the area for more than 40 years. The jams flood thousands of acres of land and impede water from properly draining after heavy rains. "We're excited to make this announcement," Phillips said. "This has been a longtime effort and I'm looking forward to updating the state about our success in receiving the permit and describing what will happen next." Rain water that drains more efficiently in the basin will help protect what hardwoods have survived and aid in the planting and growth of new hardwoods. Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe has pledged 150,000.00 to help fund the project. This is a match grant with locally matched funds.Two drainage districts Cache River and Willow Slough have sponsored this project. This project has excellent congressional support. Congressman Rick Crawford was also influential in the project's success and will be present at the press conference. The Cache River Nonprofit Association consists of nine county judges, a mayor and several agribusiness representatives. For more information contact Jeff Phillips at 870.523.7400

Missy Thibodeaux-thompson
See her advice for prospective students
Meet Missy Thibodeaux-Thompson
Assistant Professor,
Art, Music, Theatre
- B.F.A. Drama Education: University of Texas, Austin
- M.F.A. Acting: University of Nebraska, Lincoln
- I grew up in Houston, Texas. After graduate school my husband (who is also an acting professor here) and I moved to New York City and did the whole "let's be actors in New York City" thing,
but we had day jobs in the corporate world. I got a job teaching acting and performing at Cornell University for a year, but I was in Ithaca and my husband was still in Manhattan. My husband and I have had several instances where we have not lived in the same city. We did some Off-Off Broadway stuff in New York—directing and acting. Then I got a job teaching acting at the University of North Carolina. While I was there, my husband was teaching in Atlanta—so we weren't even in the same state. I eventually moved there and taught, then my husband got a job teaching at UIS, so we moved here and I taught part time at several central Illinois schools until another position teaching acting became available at UIS and I landed the job. This is our seventh state in 14 years of marriage, and we've been here the longest. I think that says something about UIS.
Interesting facts:
- I've always known that I was a teacher. I actually taught high school theater for a couple of years before I did my graduate work. I love to direct and I love to act and I love to teach. Whatever I'm currently doing is my favorite.
- When people ask me what my hobby is—I have to say "my hobby is my job." It really is. I like theater, I like to go to shows, but I also like to read and to travel. I'm a real geek. I have one older sister and two younger half sisters. My husband and I have one child who is now seven. I always say that she is our most notable production—and a production she is.
Research interest:
- I like to look at the pedagogy of acting. That is, different approaches to teaching acting. I have an interest in voice work as well. I do some dialect coaching and I hope to soon teach a voice and movement class. I also have an interest in gender issues, women in theater, and Shakespeare. I like theater that pushes the envelope, that challenges us and the way we look at the world. The shows can also be funny or touching or moving, but they have to affect the audience and make the audience think.

Learning philosophy:
- Even in my Oral Communication class, I have students stand up, stretch, do vocal exercises, and whatever it takes to wake them up and get them involved. In traditional lecture-style classes, I try to get students involved with each other. We do a lot of small group work. In performance-based classes we are extremely active. We now have our own large acting classroom/studio to use for classes and for doing exercises and performing.
Campus and Community connections:
- UIS Theater sort of evolves into a student organization every time we do a production. I am also a Safe Ally. I feel very strongly about GLBTQ issues and want students to know that nothing is taboo—as far as I'm concerned we can talk about anything. I've also done some community theater in Springfield.
Advice for prospective students:
- Also, the maternal part of me has to say, take care of yourselves. Eat well. Don't eat fried this and fried that all the time—eat some vegetables on occasion. The PAC has a salad bar. Just grab a salad. Get your sleep and take care of yourself. Sometimes new freshmen turn into walking Petri dishes. If you pace yourself and take care of yourself, you'll be able to handle the work load. With the new freedom you get as a freshman comes the responsibility to take care of yourself. It sounds corny, but one apple a day folks, remember that.
Best thing about UIS:
- I have to say, as a teacher, I love the small class sizes. I taught Intro to Theater at a larger institution and I really tried to get to know the students' names, but by the time I got to the 98th student, it was hard. By week fifteen, I might have known everyone's name.
- Another thing, while we have a very clear sense of hierarchy, for lack of a better word, there's also a very nice informality among students and faculty, and faculty and administrators at UIS. We all have a level of respect for each person in their given role.

I know this question has been asked here before, and I also know that this website is for programming questions only, but please do make an exception, as none of the posts I've come across on this site, or others, have answered this question properly (there are too many ifs).
I'm planning to develop a program which I intend to sell later. I'm trying to decide upon a language to code it with, and have narrowed down to C++ or Java.
I've been through the GPL v2 and v3 licenses used for GNU's GCC and OpenJDK (yes, I can understand some amount of legal stuff, but clearly, not all of it). But there is one point upon which everyone is obscure (this should have been one of the first things answered, IMO): if I develop a program using C++/Java and compile it using GCC compiler or OpenJDK's compiler, can I sell it without having to place my program under GPL as well?
As far as I can make out, I have full rights to assign any license to my program, but, there is a catch: it says in the license that I shouldn't link to any library that is under GPL. If so, I'll have to release my program under GPL.
Now, I don't know what in C++/Java is considered a library, so if I use the normal stuff in C++ (iostream, list, map, etc. ) or the normal Java classes/interfaces available as part of the standard JDK 6 distribution (String, List, Map, etc.), does this constitute 'linking to the libraries'?

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Also called third molars, wisdom teeth usually make their first appearance in young adults between the ages of 15 to 25. Usually, an initial evaluation of the wisdom teeth should be performed between the ages of 16 and 19. Because most mouths are too small for these four additional molars, an extraction (removal) procedure is often necessary.
Removal of wisdom teeth is important when the teeth have no room in the mouth to grow. The following symptoms may indicate that the wisdom teeth have erupted and surfaced, and should be removed before they become impacted. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Most oral health specialists will recommend an immediate removal of the wisdom teeth, as early removal will help to prevent problems, such as an impacted tooth that destroys the second molar. According to the American Academy of General Dentistry, third molar impaction is the most prevalent medical developmental disorder.
Some problems associated with impacted third molars include the following:
Wisdom tooth extraction surgery involves removing the gum tissue that presides over the tooth, gently detaching the connective tissue between the tooth and the bone, removing the tooth, and suturing the opening in the gumline.
Most wisdom teeth extractions are performed in the dentist's office under local anesthesia. Patients who are particularly anxious should consult their dentist or oral surgeon about supplements to local anesthesia or alternative forms of anesthesia.

If you've seen a huge pink building on East Colonial Drive in Orlando, then you know that Mr. Sisters has finally arrived.
It's kind of hard to miss. The highly anticipated gay-friendly restaurant and nightclub opened a couple of months ago, and this sister (who's not a mister) has been stopping by regularly.
There's a chandelier at the entrance, disco balls, men in tight skivvies pole-dancing over the bar and something that looks like it came from Superman's Fortress of Solitude in the middle of the dance floor. Oh, and I almost forgot the pink-and-black zebra.
Did the I mention that the building is pink?
Sounds gaudy, but it's not. Co-owner Brian Humphries has created a beautiful space that is a polished marriage of the industrial and the flamboyant — a style that's fun in an outrageous way.
The club, which used to be a car dealership (and a boat dealership before that) is more than 12,000 square feet and includes two outdoor seating areas, a large bar, a dance floor, a stage that could stand to be a bit larger, a VIP lounge and a sports bar. The DJ is perched on the second story, spinning mainly high-energy dance and Top 40 remixes. Humphries is expanding the club's patio, which overlooks Lake Barton.
It reminds me of an updated version of another popular gay entertainment complex in town – Parliament House. And that would make sense. Humphries used to work there, and his topnotch service, personality and, let's face it, his looks, made him one of the most popular bartenders in town.
He is using the same formula at Mr. Sisters, making the bartenders a focal point. After 9 p.m., the mostly male staff members strip down and take to the poles and the wide bar top in between serving drinks. Because of the way the bar is designed, it sometimes looks like the bartender on the opposite side of where you're sitting is wearing nothing at all. Bartending is a show as well as a service here. There's a schedule online at mrsisters.com so that customers know when their favorite bartender is working.
So many features catch the eye, including one that I actually love: the transparent bathroom. Glass walls surround the room, whose doors open with a motion sensor. No worries: Once you're inside a stall, customers can no longer sneak a peek.
But this place gets packed. Although it's a gay-friendly establishment, everyone is welcome. Crowds are so big on Friday and Saturday nights that the owners sometimes add portable toilets in the parking lot. More bathrooms — see-through or not — would be a plus.
There are lots of drink specials, but make sure you know what they are. I got a great deal during happy hour on cranberry-and-vodka doubles for the price of a single at $5.50 a pop (great pour). But when I ordered a Michelob Ultra during another happy-hour visit, I was charged $5.
Two-for-one or not, $5 is steep for a Mich Ultra. My friend's Miller Lite was $4 — again, way too pricey. If you pay a bit more attention than I did, you'll see that you can get 50-cent well drinks all day on Sundays, $2 Miller Lites on Tuesdays and $1 drafts on Fridays. The full schedule of drink specials is also online.
To soak up all of that alcohol, there's a full menu designed by Pom Moongauklang, owner of Pom Pom's Teahouse and Sandwicheria, and fashioned after the Seven Deadly Sins. That's because Mr. Sisters lives a double life of sorts — as a full-service restaurant until 9 every night and as a nightclub afterward. I've sampled some of the appetizers and they're delish — especially the empanadas.
But I'll Iet our food editor, Heather McPherson, tell you about that other half of this sister in a future dining review. I'll stay focused on the bar — and those bartenders.
