Since I ordered a very expensive CB digital OPK when I thought I wasn't pregnant, I figured I might as well use it since I am no longer pregnant. I was wondering if anyone had experience using them right after a very early (maybe 5 weeks) miscarriage. I know HCG can be picked up on them giving a false reading, but my levels never even got high enough to give me a BFP on any home test. I stopped bleeding two days ago and am already spotting some EWCM. I'm supposed to take another blood test to make sure my levels have gone back to 0, but I haven't been able to yet. One week ago I had dropped to 21. Do you think I can trust my OPK? Maybe I should just BD EOD either way? How common is it to O so soon after an early miscarriage? I'm so confused, maybe I should just give it a try and be patient and see what happens!
OPK after early miscarriage
I took for granted that I'd get preggo quick, despite my old(er) age, lol. Which I did. I was prepared believe it or not for the possibility of a m/c because I my age as well. I have so many friends who got pregnant and did just fine even older than me, so who knows. I'm so hoping that was it for me, I got it out of the way so to speak. The next bean will be a sticky one!

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. My opk tonight is lighter than earlier which happens a few days before I O... I get close surge slows then BAM...out of nowhere... we are baby making. So glad I found this group... thanks ladies :)
Hosting a baby shower... I don't know how I would deal with that right now. It would be hard and definately warrant a trip to TCBY afterwards or margaritas... whichever you like.
I had a dream that I had twins last night was telling DH about it. Basically told him that I there is no way I would attempt to breastfeed twins. The entire dream I was walking around in public places with my tatas hanging out.... WEIRD dreams!
Me(30) DH(32) DD(8) DD(4)
LOL jinx! See my previous rant about how AWESOME twins are a couple pages back ;)
And BTW I never attempted to breastfeed mine either. Good for ladies who do, but ummmm, it was a definite no-go for me :P

My twins survived TTTS, ask me all about it!
Took an OPK this morning and the line was way darker than it has been. I'll try to post a photo later. It was pretty close to positive but I know that its not. This will be CD 12. I mis counted on my last post. I forgot that AF came on 10/30.
Before my CP my cycles were 35 days so it looks like I might be back to 30.
On my way home from work last night I have stong pains in the left ovary area. Praying that this means I will O after a CP.
First child lost at 2 weeks - Chemical Preg.
I've been following this thread for a while. I had my m/c at 6.5 weeks and I'm 5 weeks past miscarriage....just waiting for something to happen. I did a 3 hour hold today and used an opk. I believe it was positive, but it was an internet cheapie, so it made it a bit hard to read. I have feelings in both my ovaries (mostly left sided) but I have no cm. I just don't know what to think!
Me (34) + DH (38)= due in October

Lake Shenandoah
Lake Shenandoah is a 36 acre impoundment owned by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The lake is located in Rockingham County near the City of Harrisonburg. Urban development surrounds much of the lake. Much of the lake is shallow (less than 3 feet) and the maximum depth near the dam is 25 feet. Excessive nutrients entering the lake keep the water green with algal blooms through most of the year. Anglers have the opportunity to catch largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, common carp, channel catfish and musky from Lake Shenandoah.
Throughout its history Lake Shenandoah has had chronic fisheries problems that can be attributed directly to development in the drainage. A public golf course and expanding residential housing have introduced excessive nutrients and sediments to Lake Shenandoah. The result has been severe negative impacts on fish habitat. Excessive nutrients cause profound algal blooms which alter water quality. Decaying planktonik algae causes all the water in the lake except the upper few feet below the surface to become void of dissolved oxygen during the summer months. Low oxygen levels can suppress aquatic insect populations and stress fish . In addition, shallow water in the upper two arms of the lake with freshly deposited sediments creates poor physical habitat for all fish species. Compounding the problem, prey fish can avoid predators in this shallow water and become overpopulated and "stunted". The overpopulated bluegill and crappie compete with young bass and catfish for the limited food supply causing poor growth for all fish species.
Currently, biologists are looking into ways to renovate Lake Shenandoah creating suitable habitat for a healthy fish population.
Access Permit Requirement
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) will require an Access Permit for visitors to department-owned Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and public fishing lakes effective January 1, 2012, who are age 17 and older, unless they possess a valid Virginia hunting, freshwater fishing, or trapping license, or a current Virginia boat registration.

A 21 year-old McHenry woman employed in Algonquin is being held in McHenry County Jail charged with identity theft and forgery following a six-month Sheriff's investigation.
Karina Orduna-Ramirez is charged with purchasing two cars using the identity on a Social Security card lost in Monroe, WI, eight years ago. Investigators said she obtained her job using the card as well.
Orduna-Ramirez was arrested in Algonquin last week and is being held for immigration authorities. Arrested Monday and charged with conspiring in identity theft was 35 year-old Jose Luis Gonzalez-Diaz, Crystal Lake.
Investigators said the Wisconsin woman whose identity was stolen became suspicious early this year when a credit report listed transactions she had not made.
Sheriff's Sergeant Mike Cisner said the case was unusual only in that it ended in arrest. "It's a long drawn out frustrating paper chase normally," he said with only about one in four cases being resolved. Cisner estimated his department spent 60 hours on the Orduna-Ramirez investigation.

Hollow be thy name, so we lick the night and crash brain-first into the nihil, lavishing in the wonder of its cradle-like void while never once falling to our knees unless to vomit. In the dark we find the light promised only in apathetic death, an altar of life tangled between the anxious drone and primal bliss. The stain of a rotten delusion reveals the burden of reality, a cavern of subterranean truth that reeks of stale cigarettes. Lower thine head, and raise it up. Immaculately conceived grief scrawled by hands with dirty fingernails; morality purchased in packs of thirty. We apostles of black noise, sonic monoliths, and bad breath, peace may be with you. Descend into hell. On the third day rise and find your dinner has burned. A mirror is the only story you can change, so crack it and for seven years bleed for the sins of no one but yourself. On earth, as it is.

SIMOEIS (or Simois) was a River-God of the Troad, in Mysia, Anatolia (modern Turkey).
The Simoeis Stream was a tributory of the River Skamandros whose flows merged near the town of Troy.
[1] ASTYOKHE, HIEROMNEME (Apollodorus 3.140, 3.141)
[2] THE NYMPHAI TROIADES (Quintus Smyrnaeus 11.245 & 14.17)
SIMO′IS (Simoeis), the god of the river Simois, which flows from mount Ida, and in the plain of Troy joins the Xanthus or Scamander (Hom. Il. 774, xii. 22; Virg. Aen. v. 261). He is described as a son of Oceanus and Tethys (Hes. Theog. 342), and as the father of Astyoche and Hieromneme. (Apollod. iii. 12. § 2.)
Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.
Homer, Iliad 5. 773 ff (trans. Lattimore) (Greek epic C8th B.C.) :
"They came to Troy land and the two running rivers where Simoeis and Skamandros dash their waters together, there the goddess of the white arms, Hera, stayed her horses, slipping them from the chariot . . . and Simoeis grew as grass ambrosia for them to graze on."
Homer, Iliad 21. 305 ff :
"[Akhilleus was caught in the flooded streams of Skamandros during a battle of the Trojan War :]
But [the River] Skamandros did not either abate his fury, but all the more raged at Peleion [i.e. Akhilleus], and high uplifting the wave of his waters gathered it to a crest, and called aloud upon Simoeis : `Beloved brother, let even the two of us join to hold back the strength of a man, since presently he will storm the great city of lord Priam. The Trojans cannot stand up to him in battle. But help me beat him off with all speed, and make full your currents with water from your springs, and rouse up all your torrents and make a big wave rear up and wake the heavy confusion and sound of timbers and stones, so we can stop this savage man who is now in his strength and rages in fury like the immortals . . .'
He spoke, and rose against Akhilleus, turbulent, boiling to a crest, muttering in foam and blood and dead bodies until the purple wave of the River fed from the bright sky lifted high and caught in its waters the son of Peleus."
Hesiod, Theogony 337 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or 7th B.C.) :
"Tethys bore to Okeanos the swirling Potamoi (Rivers), Neilos . . . Nessos and Rhodios, Heptaporos and Haliakmon, Grenikos and Aisepos, and Simoeis [in a list of rivers]."
Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3. 140 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Erikhthonios inherited the rule [of the kingdom of the Troad], after marrying Simoeis' daughter Astyokhe and fathering Tros."
Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3. 141 :
"Assarakos [prince of Troy] and Simoeis' daughter Hieromneme were parents of Kapys."
Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 11. 245 ff (trans. Way) (Greek epic C4th A.D.) :
"All the Nymphai [i.e. Naiades] were wailing, daughters born of Xanthos [Skamandros] and fair-flowing Simois [to see so many Trojans fall in battle]."
Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 14. 71 ff :
"Then, when he saw that burg [the city of Troy] beloved destroyed, [the River] Xanthos [Skamandros] . . . mourned with his Nymphai for ruin fallen on Troy . . . Mourned Simois and long-ridged Ida : all who on Ida dwelt wailed from afar the ruin of Priamos' town."
Tryphiodorus, The Taking of Ilias 322 ff (trans. Mair) (Greek poet C5th A.D.) :
"[The Trojans dragged the Wooden Horse into Troy :] And as they haled, loud rose the din and the vaunting. Groaned shady Ida together with her Nymphe-haunted oaks : the eddying waters of the river Xanthos shrieked, and the mouth of Simoeis rang aloud : and in heaven the trumpet of Zeus prophesied of the war they drew."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 3. 345 ff (trans. Rouse) (Greek epic C5th A.D.) :
"He [Dardanos first king of Troy] has given the firstling crop of his hair to Phrygian Simoeis." [N.B. At his coming-of-age, the Greek youth would cut his unshorn locks and dedicate it to the local river-god.]

Sharp to move its phone and tablet display tech to a Foxconn plant in China
Sharp is set to move its advanced small-to-medium LCD panel technology to a Foxconn plant which is currently being built in China's Sichuan province. That effectively means that all of Sharp's top technology for making displays for phones and tablets will be moved from Japan to this new Chinese factory.
This is another step in the ongoing partnership between Sharp and Foxconn (the Hon Hai Group), which was unveiled back in March. It was then when Foxconn took a stake in both Sharp and a big LCD panel factory established as a joint-venture between Sharp and Sony in Japan (Sony has since exited that venture completely).
Two months ago we told you that mobile display panels were becoming increasingly more important to Foxconn, which is the world's biggest electronics manufacturer. The partnership established back then helped Sharp, one of Foxconn's most important suppliers, stay alive.
The small-to-medium LCD technology transfer to China, however, is apparently all about the ambitions of Foxconn founder Terry Gou to surpass Samsung Electronics of South Korea in "technology prowess", according to EE Times Asia.
Samsung is currently the world's biggest display maker for tablets and phones, and its continued growth in the space has not only prompted Foxconn's deal with Sharp, but also the establishment of Japan Display, Inc. – a joint venture between Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi, which was unveiled at the beginning of April. Apparently, Sharp was repeatedly invited into Japan Display, but the company ultimately decided that its partnership with Foxconn would be a better choice. Hopefully it was right – its future is at stake. And, in no small regard, the future of competition in the mobile display space, in which Sharp is currently No.2.

This rather long posting details the steps required to
process a
grouping of fixed length records using Format Builder.
If it's 10 pm and you're feeling beat you might want to leave this until tomorrow.
But if it's 10 pm and you need to get a Format Builder Complex template done, read on…
The goal is to process individual orders from a file using the 11g File Adapter and Format Builder
Sample Data
001Square Widget 0245.98
102Triagular Widget 1120.00
403Circular Widget 0099.45
301Hexagon Widget 1150.98
The records are fixed length records representing a number of logical Order records.
Each order record consists of a number of item records starting with a 3 digit number,
followed by a single Summary Record which starts with the constant ORD.
How can this file be processed so that the first poll returns the first order?
102Triagular Widget 1120.00
403Circular Widget 0099.45
And the second poll returns the second order?
Note: if you need more than one order per poll, that's also
see the "Multiple Messages" field in the "File Adapter Step 6 of 9" snapshot further down.
To follow along with this example you will need
- Studio Edition Version 126.96.36.199.0 with
- SOA Extension for JDeveloper 126.96.36.199.0 installed
Both can be downloaded from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html
You will not need a running WebLogic Server domain to complete the steps and Format Builder tests in this article.
Start with a SOA Composite containing a File Adapter
The Format Builder is part of the File Adapter so start by
a new SOA Project and Composite.
Here is a quick summary for those not familiar with these steps
- Start JDeveloper
- From the Main Menu choose File->New
- In the New Gallery window that opens Expand the "General" category and Select the Applications node.
Then choose SOA Application from the Items section on the right. Finally press the OK button.
- In Step 1 of the "Create SOA Application wizard" that appears enter an Application Name and an Directory of your
choice, then press the Next button.
- In Step 2 of the "Create SOA Application wizard", press the Next button leaving all entries as defaulted.
- In Step 3 of the "Create SOA Application wizard", Enter a composite name of your choice and Press the Finish
These steps result in a new Application and SOA Project.
The SOA Project contains a composite.xml file which is opened and shown below.
For our example we have not defined a Mediator or a BPEL
process to
minimize the steps,
but one or the other would eventually be needed to use the File Adapter we are about to create.
Drag and drop the File Adapter icon from the Component
Pallette onto
either the LEFT side of the diagram
under "Exposed Services" or the right side under "External References". (See the Green Circle in the image below).
Placing the adapter on the left side would indicate the file being processed is inbound to the composite,
if the adapter is placed on the right side then the data is outbound to a file.
Note that the same Format Builder definition can be used in
For example we could use the format with a File Adapter on the left side of the composite to parse fixed data into XML,
modify the data in our Composite or BPEL process and then use the same Format Builder definition with a File adapter
on the right side of the composite to write the data back out in the same fixed data format
When the File Adapter is dropped on the Composite the File Adapter Wizard Appears.
Skip Past the first page, Step 1 of 9 by pressing the Next button.
In Step 2 enter a service name of your choice as shown below, then press Next
When the Native Format Builder appears, skip the welcome page by pressing next.
Also press the Next button to accept the settings on Step 3 of 9
On Step 4, select Read File and press the Next button as shown below.
On Step 5 enter a directory that will contain a file with the input data, then Press the Next button as shown below.
In step 6, enter *.txt or another file format to select input
from the input directory mentioned in step 5.
ALSO check the "Files contain Multiple Messages" checkbox and set the "Publish Messages in Batches of" field to 1.
The value can be set higher to increase the number of logical order group records returned on each poll of the file adapter.
In other words, it determines the number of Orders that will be sent to each instance of a Mediator
or Composite processing using the File Adapter.
Skip Step 7 by pressing the Next button
In Step 8 press the Gear Icon on the right side to load the Native Format Builder.
Native Format Builder appears
Before diving into the format, here is an overview of the process.
Approach - Bottom up
Assuming an Order is a grouping of item records and a summary record….
- Define a separate Complex Type for each Record Type
found in
the group.
(One for itemRecord and one for summaryRecord)
- Define a Complex Type to contain the Group of Record types defined above (LogicalOrderRecord)
- Define a top level element to represent an order.
The order element will be of type LogicalOrderRecord
Defining the Format
In Step 1 select "Create new" and "Complex Type" and "Next"
In Step two browse to and select a file containing the test
shown at the start of this article.
A link is provided at the end of this article to download a file containing the test data.
Press the Next button
In Step 3 Complex types must be define for each type of input record.
Select the Root-Element and Click on the Add Complex Type icon
This creates a new empty complex type definition shown below.
The fastest way to create the definition is to highlight the first line of the Sample File data and drag the line
onto the <new_complex_type>
Format Builder introspects the data and provides a grid to
additional fields.
Change the "Complex Type Name" to "itemRecord"
Then click on the ruler to indicate the position of fixed
Drag the red triangle icons to the exact columns if necessary.
Double click on an existing red triangle to remove an unwanted entry.
In the case below fields are define in columns 0-3, 4-28, 29-eol
When the field definitions are correct, press the "Generate Fields" button.
Click on the field names and rename them from C1->itemNum,
C2->itemDesc and C3->itemCost
When all the fields are correctly defined press OK to save the complex type.
Next, the process is repeated to define a Complex Type for
Select the Root-Element in the schema tree and press the new complex type icon
Then highlight and drag the Summary Record from the sample data onto the <new_complex_type>
Change the complex type name to "summaryRecord"
Mark the fixed fields for Header, Order Number and Order
Press the Generate Fields button and rename C1, C2 and C3 to Header, itemNum and orderDate respectively.
The last complex type to be defined is a type to hold the
group of
items and the summary record.
Select the Root-Element in the schema tree and click the new complex type icon
Select the "<new_complex_type>" entry and click the pencil icon
On the Complex Type Details page change the name and type of each input field.
Change line 1 to be named item and set the Type to "itemRecord"
Change line 2 to be named summary and set the Type to "summaryRecord"
We also need to indicate that itemRecords repeat in the input file.
Click the pencil icon at the right side of the item line.
On the Edit Details page change the "Max Occurs" entry from 1 to UNBOUNDED.
We also need to indicate how to identify an itemRecord.
Since each item record has "." in column 32 we can use this fact to differentiate an item record from a summary record.
Change the "Look Ahead" field to value 32 and enter a period in the "Look For" field
Press the OK button to save entry.
Finally, its time to create a top level element to represent an order.
Select the "Root-Element" in the schema tree and press the New element icon
Click on the <new_element> and press the pencil icon.
Set the Element Name to "order" and change the Data Type to "logicalOrderRecord"
Press the OK button to save the element definition.
The final definition should match the screenshot below.
Press the Next Button to view the definition source.
Press the Test Button to test the definition
Press the Green Triangle Icon to run the test.
And we are presented with an unwelcome error.
The error states that the processor ran out of data while
through the definition.
The processor was unable to differentiate between itemRecords and summaryRecords and therefore treated the entire file
as a list of itemRecords. At end of file, the "summary" portion of the logicalOrderRecord remained unprocessed but mandatory.
This root cause of this error is the loss of our "lookAhead" definition used to identify itemRecords.
This appears to be a bug in the Native Format Builder
Luckily, a simple workaround exists.
Press the Cancel button and return to the "Step 4 of 4" Window.
Manually add nxsd:lookAhead="32"
nxsd:lookFor="." attributes after the maxOccurs
of the item element.
as shown in the highlighted text below.
When the lookAhead and lookFor attributes have been added Press the Test button
and on the Test page press the Green Triangle.
The test is now successful, the first order in the file is returned by the File Adapter.
Below is a complete listing of the Result XML from the right column of the screen above
Try running it
The downloaded input test file and completed schema file can
be used
for testing without
following all the Native Format Builder steps in this example.
Use the following link to download a file containing the sample data.
This is the best approach rather than cutting and pasting the
data at the top of the article.
Since the data is fixed length it's very important to watch out for trailing spaces in the data and to
ensure an eol character at the end of every line. The download file is correctly formatted.
The final schema definition can be downloaded at the following link
- Save the inputData.txt file to a known location like the xsd folder in your project.
- Save the Completed Schema Definition inputData_6.xsd file
to the
xsd folder in your project.
Edit inputData_6.xsd and modify the last two comment lines to point to the inputData.txt location on your system.
Without this modification the format will be declared invalid.
For example:
- At step 1 in the Native Format Builder wizard (as
above) check the "Edit existing" radio button,
then browse and select the inputData_6.xsd file
- At step 2 of the Format Builder configuration Wizard (as
above) supply the path and filename for
the inputData.txt file.
- You can then proceed to the test page and run a test.
- Remember the wizard bug will drop the lookAhead and lookFor
attributes, you will need to manually add
nxsd:lookAhead="32" nxsd:lookFor="." after the maxOccurs attribute of the item element in the
LogicalOrderRecord Complex Type. (as shown above)
The complete example is available on GitHub here
Good Luck with your Format Project

A new report from Digitimes is suggesting that Apple will release a 12.9-inch iPad targeted at the educational community as early as next October. While Digitimes is not always the most reliable source, the Wall Street Journal has mentioned a 12.9-inch Apple slate a few times this year as well.
The 12.9-inch iPad would be built by Quanta Computer, not Foxconn like previous models. Reports suggest the mega iPad will feature a display resolution of 2732x2048, not quite 4K, but much higher than anything previously seen on an Apple Device. Given Apple's previous endeavors into the education arena, a 12.9-inch iPad makes sense, but with previous tries to integrate iPads into schools hitting bumps in the road anything could happen.

How many Seagull owners do their own setup work?
I finally broke down and bought some nut files for my SWS Mini-Jumbo. I'm amazed at how simple it was lowering the string height. I also sanded down my saddle a few months back; another fairly simple task. I did go a bit overboard with filing on a 2nd guitar (electric - not my Seagull), and I had to do the superglue/baking soda repair to build the slot back up a little. So if you do this, go really slow.
Nut files seem a little pricey for something you use so rarely, but once I had a couple of guitars that both needed some nut slot filing, I figured I could buy a set of files for the price of paying for a shop to do the work on both.
With all the information available online, it seems like you can do most setup work yourself. The only tools I've really needed to buy are the nut files and a feeler gauge. I'm very happy with the way the guitar plays now, and the only work I had done at a shop was the strap button install. I probably could have done that myself, but I didn't want to deal with the stress of drilling into the neck bolt.
As a side note - I want to make a plug for the shop that sold me the nut files (japarts.ca). I had the opportunity to stop by their shop and I got a great tour of a working lutherie by Yusuke Kawakami, who makes some really nice custom guitars. I even got a little demo and training of how to file the slots, how deep I could go without buzzing, etc.

I admire your courage! I've lowered the saddle height on a couple of my guitars, but so far have not been able to bring myself to mess with the nut. On the other hand, I happily drilled into thr heel of my Seagull Artist the other night in order to install a strap button ... go figure!
I have trimmed all my guitars, both the saddle and nut. I have a set of nut files (not the most expensive ones). One helpful tool is a set of calipers (don't know if this is right english word, I mean a set of different thickness blades with which you adjust the ignition in older cars). You put a capo on the 1:st fret and with your finger push one of the strings between 2:nd and 3rd fret. Choose a caliper which doesn't move freely under the string between 1st and 2nd fret and use it to protect the nut from overfiling.

New Orleans - The Stanford men's cross country team will begin the season as the No. 1 team in the nation after the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Association announced its preseason poll early on Tuesday. The Cardinal received 349 points, 10 more than defending national champion, No. 2 Oklahoma State.
The Cardinal were ranked No. 1 nearly all of last season, before suffering its first bad day of the year at the NCAA Championships and placing 10th. The Cardinal earned four of 12 first place votes, with Oklahoma State earning seven and Northern Arizona earning one. NAU and Oregon each had 329 points overall and are tied as the preseason No. 3 team.
The Stanford men return six of its seven runners that ran at last year's NCAA meet, including All-Americans in cross country, Chris Derrick and Elliott Heath. In addition, Stanford is coming off a great track season that saw Jacob Riley earn All-America honors in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, J.T. Sullivan place fourth overall in the steeplechase and Derrick place fourth in the 5K.
The Cardinal also return Brendan Gregg, Benjamin Johnson and Miles Unterreiner who each ran at last year's NCAA meet and were in the top five at different points during the 2009 cross country season.
Stanford will be looking to win its national title in men's cross country since 2003. Overall, the men have won four national titles. Stanford will have extra motivation this season with the next NCAA title won by a Stanford team being the 100th in the school's history.
In addition to the USTFCCCA ranking, the Cardinal were recently named the No.1 team in the nation to watch by flotrack. You can see the video below or the link is HERE
Track and Field Videos on Flotrack
On the women's side, Stanford is ranked No. 12 preseason by the USTFCCCA. Stanford earned 217 points, while Villanova earned the top ranking with 360. Villanova is the defending national champion and received all 12 first-place votes. Other Pac-10 teams in the top 10 are Washington at No. 3 and Oregon at No. 6.
The Cardinal also returns nearly all of last year's team that was third in the West Regional and advanced to the NCAA Championships, taking 16th. Stephanie Marcy and Kathy Kroeger return after All-America track seasons and Alexandra Gits has shown the health that made her an All-American her freshman season. Also returning is breakout freshman Alex Dunne and veterans Georgia Griffin, Emilie Amaro and Madeline Duhon.
Both the men and the women have nationally heralded recruiting classes stepping onto campus as well. However, with so much depth returning it will be difficult for any rookie to crack the top seven.
Stanford opens the season this weekend with a small meet in Reno, Nevada. The Cardinal will likely run just five each race at the Jim Vanden Heuvel Twilight Invitational this Friday, Sept. 3, under the lights for a rare evening cross country meet.

Here we go again. Yet another ground beef recall. This time, suspect 10 pound packages of ground meat were processed at National Beef Packing Company of Liberal, Kansas and shipped to at least 13 states including Texas. So Fort Worth, if you've been ground beef shopping at your favorite grocery store, look out for the following:
National Beef" 80/20 Coarse Ground Chuck, package code "0481
National Beef" 81/19 Coarse Ground Beef, package code "0421
National Beef" 80/20 Fine Ground Chuck, package code "0484
The packages of ground meat have a use/sell by date of June 14, 2013, and bear the establishment number "EST. 208A" inside the USDA mark of inspection, according to a press release by the FSIS. The beef was produced on May 25, 2013, and shipped to retail establishments...click here to read more.
E. Coli is again the suspect culprit and the government authority suggests that consumers ensure that ground meats are cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees to ensure that the bacteria has been killed.
Concerned about food safety yet love meatloaf and burgers? How about processing your own meats? Grinders are available at Lowes, K-Mart, Sears, and if you have a KitchenAid brand mixer, you can get a grinder attachment.
Which cuts are best? Well, the great thing about processing your own, is that you can mix and match beef/lamb, pork/beef, or whatever you'd like...click here for some beef cut suggestions.
All these recalls starting to scare you? You may be happy to learn that animal/fish/poultry protein sources are not the only way to get protein into your diet. Beans (especially rice and beans together), quinoa, tofu, and nuts are some alternatives.
What's your favorite protein source?

The Difference in Movies and Games
The only thing I can't shake is why it takes about 4-5 secs to shoot an AI or other player but in the movies its a one shot deal. i never understood that.
its like in medal of honor frontline. they go realistic and it takes a one shot in a certain body part to kill a nazi. but star wars is taking a different approach.
anyone know why?
In Medal of Honor: Frontline, it's a singleplayer game where you are genociding National Socialists NPCs. It's okay for you to be superpowerful and kill them all in one hit because NPCs don't complain, they just line up to be shot for fun. In BF1, BF2, and possibly BF3, you can play against other people, who are also controlling units as well. You are playing (or can play) against actual humans, who may or may not like your game. And if they don't like your game, they can decide not to buy it, costing LA valuable money.
How would you like it if you were a trooper who spawn in and then some other player or NPC shoots you with a laser and you die instantly, so you are only able to play for 3 seconds? It would be a pretty unfun game and you'd likely return it to the store. It would be unbalanced to have you get killed in one hit, giving the advantage to whomever is the sniper and far far away, rather than letting you able to retaliate against the enemy. Therefore, the current system works fine actually.
The idea works fine in TEC and +123(I think), I think they should at least make it 3 hits max for the basic trooper.
yeah i know i was just wondering becuz i was watching the 5th movie
and was sort of puzzled by the difference
sorry for the stupid

Looks like we have a webisode series to tie in to the show. Titled A Darker Truth, it follows a guy named Jason searching for his sister's killer in Mystic Falls. We get a nice peek at the interior of the Mystic Grill, learn that Zach is indeed 100%-for-sure Zach Salvatore, and…well, you can watch it to learn the rest.

Many thanks to Ella for sending us this external shot of the Mystic Grill (which is the local hangout for the residents of Mystic Falls in the Vampire Diaries TV series). It's looking pretty swish and sophisticated from the outside, certainly the kind of place you could buy a decent doughnut from. ;)
If you've got pictures you'd like to share, we'd love to hear from you.

Finally, they get it
tiny screens and crap max resolutions just don't cut it anymore.
Acer has downgraded sales forecasts for Ultrabooks as the relatively hefty price tag and smaller screen size continues to limit adoption in Europe. The PC maker had expected the super skinny platform to comprise between 25 and 35 per cent of total notebook sales globally by the end of this year. "Overall the Ultrabook segment …
tiny screens and crap max resolutions just don't cut it anymore.
The screens are crap whatever you buy at this size - I think it's more the "pay twice as much to get a thinner shinier machine" that puts sends most people in the direction of the standard notebook.
The screen on my 13" Lenovo X1 as well as on the 13" MacBook Air are very nice and definitely on a par with 15" laptops with the advantage compared to a netbook that they have full size keyboards so I don't think this is the whole story.
The slim and light 13" form factor definitely has a market between the 15" laptop and 11" netbook but is certainly not for everyone: the great portability combined with high end specs (and high price) is only justifiable to a small minority of users but those who need that combination and are happy to pay the price now have great products to choose from. So planning 30% penetration in the first year for a product that is targetting a fairly narrow market was very optimistic at best, especially when the first models are rather expensive and being sold during a less than perfect economic climate.
I, for one, am very happy to have a laptop that is light and small enough that I can take it everywhere I need to while being able to run Eclipse and a couple of VirtualBox VMs concurrently or do photo editing on it but I also realise that the market segment I represent is a small minority and certainly not 30% of the laptop market.
My advice to those companies would be: release products with the same form factor but more average specs so that you can extend your market to potential users who like the concept but can't justify spending a grand on a laptop.
A 13.3" screen isn't tiny, and doesn't have to be crap.
A decent quality laptop with a smaller screen to make it more portable is an entirely reasonable class of product, and should do well in the market. A netbook with a low-res 10" screen is not, an ultrabook costing £1000+ is not (however sleek and shiny they make the case).
Paris because she's no rocket scientist, either.
Yep. Charging nearly 1000 dollars/euros for something with no optical drive and half the correct number of pixels per inch was never going to work.
I've been looking for something to replace my Dell mini-10 more or less since the day I got it (600 vertical pixels. Huge buying mistake). Nothing has even half excited me since, except the iPud3. If it had a keyboard...
Pay more for less, call it Ultra, call it Extreme, call it whatever you want , but the public have become more canny and no matter how you dress up the product or how you advertise it we now read the small print.
The Ultra is just a souped up notebook, with the same feature set.
that popularity of Macbook Airs is not just about the hardware
Look like Windows is an impediment in that market segment
Maybe the only thing being proved is that if you're the kind of person who is prepared to spunk a thousand quid or so on a teeny little computer which is worth nothing near that, you're possibly also the kind of person who buys Macs...
... the green-eyed discourteous are aways with us.
You're wrong people do want Ultrabooks, but they are just waiting for Windows 8 and the awesome features that it will bring. Nobody wants the dated OS X interface any more that hasn't changed in ten years. Once Windows 8 is released they will sell Ultrabooks like hot cakes.
The user experience of a Windows machine is pretty dire though. You walk into a rather crummy store like PC World or Comet. Deal with some person who doesn't know shit about the product and then try to get sold insurance or something else you don't want.
Once you get the thing home you have all the activation to do, wonder how on earth to remove all the crapware or stickers that remove the paint from the casing.
Buy a computer from a shop? That's so 1996.
I bought my first PC from the soon-to-be-bankrupt Escom, was on the Internet the next day and never bought a computer from a shop again.
@Anon - 18:24
Mac OS X dated? Cor'! Take those Windows shades off, because you'll keep going blind to the wider picture if you keep bumming Windows in general. It's a desktop OS that works, pretty stable and makes light work of anything you chuck at it. Windows 8 will be a battery hogger with a confused outlook to its market. Windows 8 success will be based on Microsoft's marketing to patch up the awful clunky dual-interface it presents to the consumer. Joe public will be asking...
"Why won't my legacy programs work on Metro? And why won't Metro work on the normal desktop?" - There's your nuclear explosion there.
Anyway, on the point of ultrabooks taking a downturn in the Euro; I'd pretty much say that's a definately unless the big PC players can make some quality products not made out of the parts bin of Chinese chuck-out factories.
For ages I had a lovely little 11.6" Acer netbook-plus thingy, which I picked up for something in the region of £300. It wasn't massively powerful, or stupidly high resolution but seeing as the vast majority of what it got used for was light web browsing and heavy SSH - it was perfect for me. That died over the weekend and I was forced to buy a hefty great 15.6" machine because nobody makes super-netbooks which don't cost too many hundreds of pounds.
I don't care about slim, or power, or ssds, or resolution or any of the other apparently 'ultra' features - but I'd love a small(er) screened machine which is simply one or two steps up from an Atom.
This may not work for most people, but I use a fondlePad for "light web browsing and (heavy) SSH".
iSSH works for me...
What you want is a 305U or 350U from Samsung then.
Lenovo ThinkPad X130e is not bad as well. Step up form a netbook that can actually run Windows 7, but not the stupid executive toy "ultra" price tag.
But that's not what they want to push. To bad for them if no one what's what they are pushing.
Super-expensive laptops, clearly the way to lift notebook sales out of the doldrums during a GLOBAL RECESSION.
Apple sell a fair few macbook airs, but you can't extrapolate from that to the conclusion that an intel-branded equivalent is going to magically generate a whole new market segment to save the likes of Acer etc. You have to wonder about their market analysts at times, are they living in some kind of dreamworld?
as Apple have demonstrated (please spare me the "but Apple owners are morons who like spending too much, herp derp" rhetoric), and Windows isn't the offputting factor either; Windows 7 is on par with OSX. The problem is current Ultrabooks are still underwhelming, so anyone in the market for one will either just buy an Air or hold off until we finally see something decent.
+1 for underwhelming. If you want to cut in on someone's market you need to do better and likely for less. I haven't seen anything that fits that bill yet.
We don't want Ultrabooks.
Unless they are 1/4 or maybe 1/5th cost.
They are priced for Rich Singletons that want to pose in expensive coffee shops.
You don't need it at home or office and would you use something so expensive on the beach, crowded bus or train?
It can't decide if it's a small overpriced laptop or big overpriced tablet with a keyboard that won't detach.
They need 14 hrs+ battery life, keyboard that can detach or fold under or in it, 1900 x 1200 resolution touch screen, ARM cpu and to cost under €500, ideally under €250.
Apple sell so few actual computers compared to phones and ipads that they ditched computer from their name. The Macbook Air isn't a product anyone not called Apple can sell.
Intel really don't have a bloody clue do they? outside of boring chipsets that is.
The execs want ultrabooks so they can walk into meetings with clients and competitors, looking stylish and unencumbered. But obviously, the Acer exec can't walk into a meeting holding a Mac Air (unless it's to say "we need to build something like this"). So all the companies have ultrabooks and try to sell them to the average consumers. Who would rather do other things with their money, not having exec level salaries.
Once, 10 years ago or so, I had an ultra-portable Toshiba Portege (12" IIRC). Slow, underpowered, battery that could barely survive a short train ride... but it was really slick and light and super portable. Way overpriced, but at that time I was willing to give it a shot. Since then, I've had several laptops, but have stuck to 14" and 15.6" machines which are either 1/3rd the price, or have 3x the power, battery, storage, and features than the ultrabooks. I'm happy getting the same for less, or getting more for the same... but I'm over the need to spend more just to look stylish and unencumbered.
The problem is that none of the ultrabooks have a complete set of specs that justify the pricetag. The Asus is the only one with a decent resolution screen but it's let down by a poor touchpad and a screen with low contrast and limited viewing angles. All the rest have 768 pixels vertically which, on a laptop costing around £1000 is a joke.
The new Sony vaio Z is close to what ultrabooks should be (I know it's not technically an ultrabook) I almost bought one before I discovered that the if you want 8GB of RAM (should be standard in a machine of this cost) you have to get the 256GB SSD which costs an extra £400 over the 128GB model this at a time when you can buy a 256GB Samsung 830 for £150. The RAM is soldered onto the board so upgrading yourself isn't an option.
There is a market for these machines but the people that are prepared to pay £1000 for a laptop want one that is worth £1000 rather than a £500 laptop in a thin case.
They are over estimating the gullibility of the consumer.
They also miss the fact that most people don't use a machine on the move, 'ultrabooks' are only beneficial for those who use them on the move or those wanting to show off.
This is not most people's primary use case, being able to do 95% of what they do on a £300 snotter is their primary use case.
EPIC FAIL by the manufacturers.
Yes annodomini2, but that doesn't really matter because the market is still so huge that even though the majority of people don't need ultraportables and are content to use £300 laptops, there are still a sizeable number of users to whom portability is an important consideration. The reason "Ultrabooks" are struggling to have an impact so far isn't because there's no demand for that type of device, but because it's been poorly executed.
The majority of users wanting ultra-portable notebooks have had this option for many-many years in the business class sector.
This is nothing new.
Corporates (the bulk of this market) won't be buying ultrabooks as they will be tied into their large corporate agreement with x manufacturer.
Intel just thinks they can halve the thickness and charge twice as much, for what is a budget laptop, with a smaller screen and some would argue a slightly prettier case. Possibly with an SSD.
Those wanting a portable net machine, buy tablets, vis a vie iPads.
The thing is Acer were thinking they could get 30% of their sales from Ultrabooks, yes the market is large and I never said there wouldn't be sales, but the consumer is not as stupid as many of these companies think.
Likewise that doesn't mean to say some consumers aren't stupid!
"but the consumer is not as stupid as many of these companies think."
Or just as likely, there are plenty of stupid consumers but the recession means they have no money to be stupid with.
This week Stephen Hawking gets a brain tap. I had expected we'd all have them a decade ago!
Why are we still working with a typewriter? Dude, where is my talking computer?
DragonDictate NaturallySpeaking is actually quite good, and I'm pretty sure text to speech is a done deal.
Just saying.
>Just saying.
Are they nuts ? You pay a hefty price to differentiate yourself from the Windows crowd with a Mac carefully designed up to the smallest detail. Paying the same for a regular run off the mill design PC just because Intel and computer OEMs need to increase their revenue would definitely not bring you the same prestige.
Maybe this is the gap in the market the MS Surface Pro is aimed at?
I just hope that releasing the RT version first won't ruin the Pro's chances.
and have been able to for a long while - if you dont mind your licensing terms changed.
Its trying to put windows on these thinks that prices them out of the market. My recent laptop purchase had a 30% MS surcharge on it.
I make my own PC's but its not possible for laptops. I'm just hoping one day soon a manufacturer will realise that a 14hr 11" twin core ARM machine (see what the Raspberry Pi can do on 1/3rd that) android for £200 would fly off the shelves.
I have a 4 year old laptop that cost £440, which still works absolutely perfectly (Windows 7). I deliberately chose one with a 12" screen (Samsung Q210), as I've always preferred small laptops. I'd love to replace it with an Ultrabook, however I simply don't need to yet. When I do, it will be at the lower end of the price spectrum, because with 'adequate' laptops now starting at £300, to spend more than double that, simply doesn't make sense to me, or to many people.
Its hardly surprising Ultrabooks aren't selling, as no-one in the marketing departments seems to have consulted anyone other than overpaid execs and themselves.
Thinner has caused the price to rise, forced horrible chicklet keyboards on everyone, lost valuable and needed connectors. For no apparant reason, they seem to have gone for a low-rez screen that my 8 year old laptop betters. And a widescreen format uselful only for watching movies - when did you last see someone on the train/bus/Starbucks watching a movie on their laptop???
What the real user wants is lighter weight (getting under 2kg makes a big difference in lugging around); thinness is pointless as its always shoved in the lappy bag anyway(and PLEAE offer a proper keyboard option!). Long battery life, true, 8hours (a days use) is a good target. Most users dont especially need gobs of processing power, so offer a slow down/lower power mode, everyones happy. Put a proper resolution screen on the beast so its actually of some use for real work. Stop with ripping people off for ssd drives. Now you may make the sales targets....however the marketing droids and their managers seem much happier to follow each other over the cliff like good little corporate lemmings
but if I had to choose a machine with Apple prices and Apple specs, it would probably be an Apple. There's your problem, Acer.
Put the price on a par with laptops and they'll see upward movement. Being 'light' should not mean twice the price.

Doctor Who thrills crowd with surprise performance of own theme
Do you know something interesting? Well, attendees at this weekend's Glastonbury festival me with an overwhelming surprise— what? Well, Time lord himself came up to the stage for performing the Doctor Who theme song together with Orbital, the techno group. Matt Smith, the protagonist of Doctor Who (the latest version) accompanied the band and rocked the floor. Now, why don't you think for your own self- did you ever find any sci-fi star performing on her or his personal theme song and that too so enthusiastically? Definitely not because all cannot be line Time Lord- he is something different, something unique and that's what makes him stand out from the crowd.

Let's assume there is a soul mate and each person has one. Let's say you live in California, are Catholic, Caucasian, and want to date or marry another Catholic—you wouldn't dream of going outside your religion. Your "type" is blonde, tall, blueeyed WASP, and muscular, professional with a college education and a background similar to yours. You love shopping, spas, first class travel and the opera. You have always dreamed of living in a lovely 4 bedroom home with an ocean view.
Now let's assume your soul mate lives in Kenya, is black skinned and a totally does not believe in God.This person is also short, over weight and has brown eyes, black hair, speaks no English and not at all someone you are attracted to. He or she lives in a small, rural village, eeks out a living but has no formal education and can't afford a car. He or she lives in a desert area hundreds of miles from the water and no one's ever heard of a nail salon or day spa. Shopping is like visiting a local flea market and there is no upscale dining/shopping, and the nearest movie theater is 50 miles away in a larger city. Forget the opera.
What a dilemma! But this is your soul mate! Thousands of miles away and not at all what you envisioned. This is not the person you cut out of a magazine and put on your vision board. What do you do? Do you hop a plane and rush to this person because they are your soul mate or do you "settle" for someone who is not your soul mate but has more in common with you and can share a life with you that fits into what you both always wanted?
The fallacy of the soul mate search is that while we may "yearn" for our soul mate, he or she may not come in the package we want. There is no guarantee from the Universe that our soul mate meets our physical or earthly criteria. If you are a staunch Christian would you date or marry your soul mate if he or she were an Atheist? Meeting one's soul mate is still no guarantee that things will work out and be perfect. There is no "happily ever after" clause or guarantee and no customer service number to call with complaints. If I am going to spend my life and my money trekking around the world searching for my soul mate, I want to see something in writing that guarantees I'll get what I am looking for first.
Plus, did you ever consider this: Let's say you meet your soul mate. What makes you so sure he or she would want to be with you? What if they are not spiritually evolved enough to overcome the trappings of this physical realm? How do you even meet someone if they take one look at you and decide you don't fit the photos on their vision board?
If soul mates are those who have a soul connection, then the presumption is that we can override our earthly, physical, financial wants/needs/criteria in favor of finding "the one" who matches us on a soul level. The problem is, we live on a physical plane. We are influenced and attracted by sight, scent, emotion, touch, personality…Are you really ready and willing to say,"I don't care if he has two heads, one leg and teeth growing out of his arm pits, if we are soul mates, I will love him!" and sincerely mean it? What if you meet your soul mate and he is a paraplegic in a wheel chair and you always dreamed of someone who will go snow boarding, water skiing and rock climbing with you? After all, Illness, accidents and other physical things can happen to our soul mates while we are waiting for them.
Since there are more average and non attractive people in the world compared to the numbers of outrageously handsome and beautiful people in the world, what would you be willing to settle for in the looks department? What if you soul mate just didn't do it for you chemistry wise?

A pictorial travelogue around the great Province of Alberta, Canada
A graphic designer by profession, I have always had a love of all things artistic. Photography is something I have always enjoyed…albeit mostly on holiday! It wasn't until 2004 when I decided to 'go digital' and upgrade my compact camera to the modest Fuji FinePix S5500 that my passion for photography really took off. I have currently upgraded again to a modest DSLR and hopefully continue to improve!

Two gun traffickers were indicted for selling assault weapons, ammunition and large capacity magazines, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the New York City Police Department announced on Thursday.
The indictments represent the 18th and 19th gun trafficking indictments by the District Attorney Office's Violent Criminal Enterprises Unit, taking away 875 illegal guns from New York City streets.
"Any crime prevention effort has to include stopping gun traffickers from giving young people easy access to dangerous weapons," District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., said in a statement.
From February to September 2013, Javon Burgess, 36, known as "Black," sold 26 guns along with ammunition and large capacity magazines to an undercover police detective. The firearms, which were sold at roughly $1,000 per weapon, included a Tec-9 assault weapon and other semi-automatic pistols. Most of the weapons were sold in broad daylight. Five of the sales occurred near the entrance of the Bronx Zoo.
Paul Lee, 24, known as "Gangsta," sold 13 guns to another undercover police detective from May to December 2013. The weapons, sold at $550 to $900 per gun, included a sawed-off shotgun and an AP-9 assault weapon. He sold the weapons in East Harlem or near Co-op City in the Bronx, some of them taking place in broad daylight.
Burgess and Lee were charged with multiple counts of criminal sale of a firearm, criminal possession of a weapon and conspiracy.
"These indictments underscore the proliferation of illegal firearms that stretch from the south to our city, thus creating the 'Iron Pipeline' and the community gun tactic used by criminals," Commissioner William J. Bratton said in a statement.
Since the DA's Office established the Violent Criminal Enterprises Unit in 2010, prosecutors obtained 25 convictions for criminal sale of a firearm in the first or second degree — an increase of 1,150 percent from two convictions on these charges during the previous four-year period, according to the DA's Office.

Auto-regenerative shields
Is it possible to have the shield in Jedi Academy is auto-regenerative, as in Halo?
Thank you.
I've never heard of anything like that. I do know that in single player mode, using the console command "give armor" will restore your armor. Perhaps you could bind it to a key?
I found this video which shows some mechs in Jedi Academy that regenerate their shields instantly, therefore I think it is possible that the shield gradually regenerate:
In sp: nope.
In mp: yep with coding.
Is there one out there: maybe in a larger mod, but nothing stand alone. Force Mod 3 maybe.

Refugees are a source of American strength
Winston Lord, the former United States Ambassador to China and Chairman Emeritus of the International Rescue Committee Board of Directors, explains why refugees are a source of American strength.
Refugees in the United States
The U.S. has a long tradition of offering refuge to those fleeing persecution and war. In 2011, the IRC's 22 regional offices helped resettle some 7,000 newly arrived refugees and provided services to over 24,000 refugees, asylees, and victims of human trafficking. IRC staff members and volunteers believe that refugees' greatest resources are themselves. We help them translate their skills, interests and past experiences into assets that are valuable in their new communities.
Video Transcription
WINSTON LORD: Refugees are a tremendous source of strength in this society, and enriching it. They've suffered repression and persecution. They know what freedom means and they can fully appreciate America. And they work extremely hard and extremely productively to strengthen our society. And so it's very important in this debate, which gets confused, to separate illegal immigration -- which is a genuine problem we have to solve -- from the strong fabrics in our society that are presented by immigrants that are legal and, above all, by refugees who are coming from harm to home.
Of course all of us at the IRC would love to go out of business: that we wouldn't have refugees and internally displaced around the world suffering persecution, fleeing from their homes. But given human nature and given history, I'm afraid we're gonna be in business for a long time. As long as we are I'm extremely proud of this organization. I've spent my career in and out of government, and every time I've come out of government the first thing I've done is to join the IRC again. So in terms of helping refugees abroad and resettling them here I'm very proud of the IRC and the leadership we're now exhibiting in the whole field.

Twin Frozen 4th Birthday Party (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
For my twins 4th birthday, they wanted two things ; a Disney Frozen party and for their special friend Bethany Fisher to do a concert for their friends. So we decided to combine the two and it was a wonderful success.
The girls regularly perform with popular child entertainer Bethany Fisher and she flew in from Brisbane especially to do a concert at their party. The girls even got up to do a song with her, which was very exciting for them to do in front of their friends. They also had a very special visit from Disney Frozen's Anna and Elsa to play games and sing with the children.
I spent hours on the internet searching for Frozen ideas and goodies to have at their party - having two girls that are very 'pink' meant we didnt have anything blue or 'Frozen like' so had to start to scratch! We carried the Frozen theme through to every aspect of their party, and it was a truly magical day for everyone

Figuring out where to have your wedding reception takes time and effort. By using these tips and advice it will be smoother and less headaches.
Step one would be to analyze what type of reception do you want? A casual afternoon reception would be quite different than an evening formal event. What makes both of you happy and at ease? Discuss the guest list, as how many guests can help determine location and menu. Keep in mind both sets of parents will want to have some input for a guest count as they have friends they may want to include. Budget of course has its considerations as well.
Step two would be to start the search. Keep in mind some venues book up to two years in advance. Check out bridal shows, the internet, and consult with married friends as to possible locations. In Milwaukee, there are literally dozens of places, some are more casual, and others are ultra fancy, some in between. If natural surroundings are your style, think of parks and family member's backyards. Art galleries, historic homes, museums and boats are unique and may benefit a particular cause. Each location offers its own uniqueness and ambiance.
There are two basic types of reception facilities, on site and off site. Most on site venues offer the majority of service, including catering, linens and tableware, chairs and wait staff. Usually the charge is "per person". Off site gives you more flexibility because you are charged only for the use of the venue, everything else it up to you. This is great if you have a particular caterer in mind, or want to choose different colored linens. This is more work on your part but it truly is your vision and can be quite cost effective.
Step three is to evaluate the sites that interest you. Keep in mind every single place, like almost anything, will have pluses and minuses. Keeping your budget in mind, now it is time to start narrowing the list.
Location is going to be important, especially if you are planning a winter wedding. Consider unique challenges that may occur, such as near a stadium that is having a home game that day. If it is longer than 30 minutes from the ceremony location, that too may be a conflict for some guests.
Is the size appropriate? Will there be enough room for all the guests? Is there space for the musicians or DJ? Is there an adequate power supply for speakers, and good acoustics for string and wind instruments?
What about parking?
Does the venue book multiple events on the same day? If so, how do you feel about that?
Look at the room décor and ambiance. Neutral is best but sometimes a more dramatic feel is right in keeping with your wedding. Can you provide decorations?
Be sure to keep a tally with each site visited what is included and what is not. Get the details up front so there are no unhappy surprises.
If you are going with an outdoor site, keep in mind that in case of inclement weather the festivities may need to move indoors.

$112 Million Data Center Will Come to Cheynne
In his continuing effort to increase Wyoming's technology sector, Governor Mead announced that Microsoft will build a data center near Cheyenne.
After months of negotiations, Microsoft sealed the deal today by signing paperwork for the $112 million data center.
Construction will begin summer and will be completed in phases. The first phase alone is expected to create 17 new jobs that will offer wages 150% above the national average. The data center will eventually employ around 40 people. Microsoft expects to have the facility completed by the spring of 2013.
Governor Mead says the decision proves that the cowboy state is a perfect fit for data centers. "We have some great momentum," Mead said in a press conference today. "And across Wyoming, we have some great tech companies...This just adds to it."

Zim and Gaz walked back to the tent silently. Gaz thinking about Dax and the kiss Zim gave her; Zim thinking about what he just did. He kissed a HUMAN! The Tallest must never find out! He also just practically set up his brother with a human female and gave away his secret.
He trusted Gaz of course! But what if she told Dib about the Girls or the mission? Stop thinking like that! Gaz is my friend! She won't do that to me
would she? NO! She wouldn't! She just proved her loyalty when she didn't kill me when I kissed her. Wait a minute
"Oh my Tallest!" He shouted aloud.
"What? What is it Zim?!" Gaz looked concerned.
"I just realized that I haven't asked Dib what would happen if I left, so I would know when I leave for the mission; and summer is only a week away!" He shouted. He set down the viola case, grabbed his antennae and shook his head starting to freak out.
Gaz pulled Zim by his shoulders and gave him a light shake. "Zim! Listen to me." Zim stopped and looked at Gaz. "You can ask him tomorrow before we go back home. I'll take Gir down to the lake again or something and you ask him. What do you think he would do anyway?"
"Well I have looked up and saw how some humans commit something called suicide or homicide when they get depressed, sad, or angry. I am worried if I leave him without knowing what would happen he would do something reckless."
Gaz couldn't believe her ears; Zim really did care for her brother; her too no doubt! She smiled kindly at Zim and removed her hands. "Listen, Zim, Dib wouldn't do anything like this. If he would he would have already done it before you became his friend. The worst to happen is he would hate you or become depressed; but nothing that would go drastic like homicide, or suicide."
"But, if he hated me and I came back would we never be friends again? Or things would go back like before?" He looked down and a single tear shed his crimson eye. He was genuinely sad.
Gaz was moved; maybe he had really changed? "He wouldn't hate you so much that you guys couldn't go back to being friends like now. When you come back, just explain; and before you leave do something really nice or get him something to remind him you care." Gaz wiped the tear from Zim's cheek.
"I think I can do the nice thing on my own, but would you come with me to get him something? Like, tomorrow or something?" Zim smiled looking up at Gaz.
"Sure, of course." She then brought Zim in a sudden hug.
Zim was shocked and confused, but he hugged back. When Gaz broke the hug Zim asked, "I thought you wanted to stay friends?"
"Friends hug, Zim." Gaz blushed.
"Oh." Zim blushed too. "Thank you." Zim picked up the viola case and started to walk again. Still weird, those words are
Gaz picked up her violin case and started to walk also. Soon she caught up with Zim. She walked next to him. She held the case with her left hand while he held his case with his right. Gaz stopped walking. "Zim?"
Zim stopped also. "Yaeh?"
"Just for tonight, can we be more than friends?" She blushed and looked down.
"Ok, I guess." He blushed and looked down also. He walked back to Gaz and took hold of her hand. Their fingers interlocked and they began to walk again towards the tent. They were still a little bit away still. They walked in silence, as they walked close together and happy once more.
Soon the tent was insight. Gaz stopped and pulled Zim back to her. They both put down their cases. "I think it's really sweet of you to think of my brother before you leave. I have never had a boyfriend and that's why I want to be more then friends for tonight. Thank you." She hugged Zim again and held on tight. "I'm going to miss you when you leave."
"I'll miss you too." He held on too. Soon they broke the hug and picked up the cases and, once more, walked hand in hand to the tent. "I'm pretty sure they are still asleep, so we must be quite and get some sleep ourselves. Ok?"
"Alright," and they walked in and set the cases back to their original spots. They grabbed their sleeping bags and put them by each other. Gaz got into her bag and Zim looked over to Dib and Gir. Gir was beside Dib and Dib slept peacefully. Zim looked at Dib longer and he could have sworn he saw discomfort on Dibs face as though he was aware of Zim watching him.
Gaz broke the stare by grabbing Zims hand and turning him away, towards her. "Are you still worried about the whole mission and Dib's reaction?" She whispered.
Zim used that as a way to avoid telling Gaz about Dibs face; yes Dib's face isn't a good topic to talk about
Yaeh. I'm still worried." He whispered back.
"Well don't be. I told you he won't do anything stupid. I'll make sure he won't. Trust me. He won't know what hit him."
"I guess you're right. You haven't told him anything about anything yet!" he was a little louder than he wanted to be.
"Shh! Don't speak so loud, you'll wake him. We should get sleep."
"Ok. I'm still worried abo-" he was cut off by Gaz kissing him. He was surprised, but he didn't stop it. He knew it was ok to like this kiss; only for tonight, by tomorrow they will only be friends. He kissed back and it soon ended. Gaz smiled at Zim and grabbed his hand. She brought him to the two sleeping bags and got it hers.
Zim got in his and they cuddled next to each other. "No funny stuff, ok?" Gaz told him, though she knew it was unnecessary.
"I would never even dream about it." They snuggled close together, facing each other. They smiled at each other.
Soon they fell asleep. And tomorrow Zim would have to ask Dib

I like the fact that Zim is really worried about loosing his friendship with Dib when he leaves.
At least Zim now knows that Gaz has a thing for him, the same way he feels for her

Completely agree. I think my then new wife had severe doubts in the early 90s when they were repeated on the beeb for the first time and I could describe the complete plot of every episode within 30secs of the start.
On the other hand I've never heard anything good about this
