Once on Chunuk Bair
by Maurice Shadbolt
Maidment Theatre
Until July 5
Many of the great events that nations celebrate are often the glorious defeats in which noble soldiers fight to the last man.
New Zealand secured a place in history with the disastrous battle of Chunuk Bair, which is the basis for the play "Once on Chunuk Bair" of which Maurice Shadbolt said "I wanted to distil the entire New Zealand experience of the campaign between dawn and dusk in a single day - 8 August 1915, the day 700 or 800 soldiers of the Wellington Infantry Battalion took the summit of Chunuk Bair and for a few minutes had sight of the Dardanelles, the objective of the Allied offensive."
Rather than cover the entire battle, which lasted for nearly two weeks Shadbolt wanted to follow the traditional unities of time, place and action. This use of the classical Greek dramatic form where action occurs offstage and is reported to the audience makes the play dependant on the words and delivery of the actors rather than dramatic action on stage.
This reference to classical Greece is further developed in the play with reference to the battle of Troy and characters such as Hector and Achilles. One of the characters notes that Troy is not far from where they are doing battle.
Even the way in which the almost vertical set (designed by John Verryt) with its niches in which the soldiers huddle is like a huge set of metopes or panels on a Greek temple
These classical allusions underscore the mythic quality of the play itself where each of the characters displays both heroic qualities and human frailties. They are universal heroes as well as common men.
It is said that the Anzac spirit and the birth of nationhood grew out of the battles such as Chunuk Bair and the play demonstrates the shared notions of leadership, comradeship and the thread of anti-establishment which became part of the New Zealand psyche.
As well as presenting the heroism of individuals, it also shows the incompetence of leadership and the horrors and privations that the soldiers had to endure, which would rarely be talked about in the future.
The cast of a dozen give remarkable performances with co-directors Ian Mune and Cameron Rhodes shaping a superb lineup of characters who act and speak with distinctive manners.
Their presence on stage is emphasised by the uniforms (designed by Tracey Collins), which are all variations on the New Zealand standard issue but each fitting something of the character of the individual. There is the immaculately turned out Lieutenant Harkness (Sam Snedden) whose uniform and demeanour remains crisp almost till the end while soldiers such as Scruffy (Tim Carlsen) and Otaki George (Taungaroa Emile) manage to stay reasonably scruffy the whole time.
As Colonel Connolly leading the troop of soldiers, Stephen Lovatt gives a brilliant performance as an officer who combines discipline with a liberal egalitarianism along with acknowledging the brutal realism of war and the incompetence of the high command
Like Connolly, most of the characters present flawed personalities, dealing with their mates and the battle in various ways. All have elements of the heroic but all have weaknesses and foibles which give them genuine human qualities.
All the actors provide an earthly grittiness managing to convey the drama and horror of war along with the small pleasures and the humour. There is Holy (Jordan Mooney the ex-bible teacher who is frustrated and confused by his religion and sergeant Frank (Kevin Keys), the communist whose ideals collide with his patriotism.
Shadbolt has given the men distinctly New Zealand qualities with the soldier's no nonsense practical approach to fighting while Scruffy who has to fix a machine gun searches for a piece of No 6 fencing wire. (The gun he is said to be fixing is a Vickers though what he actually has on stage is a Browning). One character who appears to be inserted in the battle as an almost comic entertainer is Signalmen Bassett (Byron Coll) "who could put a line through to God." He enters and exits reporting on the progress of the battle and is the one soldier who seems to be merely doing his job, unaware of the death and destruction around him. For his actions during the battle he was awarded the Victoria Cross, the only recipient of the award from that battle.

The spotlight is now shining on the hypocrisy of gun control elitists in public office and in Hollywood as they attack the right of citizens to self-defense with guns while carving out convenient exceptions for themselves.
Two new examples of this hypocrisy are in the news today. First, there is the case of a Connecticut politician's effort to protect herself while denying that right to citizens. And then there is Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who says he will make a film to blast the NRA although he himself has a security detail and produces some of the most violent films on the screen.
Connecticut passed some of the most stringent gun control laws in the nation in the wake of the mass murders at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. In spite of the fact that ordinary citizens are hamstrung in their efforts to defend themselves against thugs with firearms, a politician in the state is making sure there is no such vulnerability for her.
Toni Harp is the new mayor of New Haven, Conn. She previously served as a state senator. She has requested a full time security detail including two New Haven armed officers to follow her around wherever she goes.
But according to Connecticut Carry, Harp voted in favor of the new highly restrictive gun laws for citizens in the state:
"Toni Harp voted to take away, restrict and ban many effective self-defense tools from good, hard-working Connecticut citizens. That she now wishes to be surrounded at all times by two officers that are exempt from those laws says a lot about how she relates to her constituency and how she values herself compared to our families."
This, in essence, perfectly encapsulates the attitude of anti-gun politicians and Hollywood elitists. They themselves have no intention of abiding by the laws ordinary citizens must obey. If they are so dead-set against guns, why do their security details include armed guards?
Connecticut Carry sums it up this way:
"Clearly Toni Harp shares our belief that these tools are effective defensive tools. The difference is that she apparently believes that she is part of an elite class of people who are entitled to be defended by these tools while the rest of us are supposed to follow the law she voted for."
And then there is Harvey Weinstein, who produced the Kill Bill movies and others that are among some of the most violent in America. Weinstein seems to have a vendetta against the NRA, and he wants to do a movie to take it apart.
Yet as a top Hollywood film maker, Weinstein is flanked by security personnel 24/7, personnel that are armed with very effective firearms. Weinstein increased his armed security when he made a film last year about Scientology.
Again, these elitists will not hesitate to use guns in their movies to sell tickets. They will not hesitate to hire security personnel who carry guns. But when it comes to the mere peons of the populace, no such provision is allowed.
Ordinary people who live in the real world cannot afford security personnel. We must handle our own security. But people like Weinstein would rob you of the right to do so with guns in spite of the fact that his own security personnel carry guns.
Such hypocrisy is nothing less than astounding.

We have a large area MAN provided by a local cable company. Each location has a cable modem that connects directly back to a central location, i.e. it doesn't cross the internet, it is a private connection. Each out building shows shows up at the central location though a trunk fiber and each building is a different vlan.
The issue is we are in the process of upgrading and merging our networks (there were two admin networks now we have one net admin for everything). We switched to a Cisco 4500 and have ip address on each vlan. The issues seems to be that PCs are doing an arp request for the router (4500)'s ip (a "Who Has?") but they get no response. Strange thing is that DHCP is working fine. Also there are a couple of PCs that are working just fine.
If I create a static arp entry (arp -s ) then that pc will work. If I then do a repair on the connection the static entry goes away and a working dynamic entry shows up.
I've called the ISP and they say all of their gear is 100% and because some PC work it is our fault.
Thanks, Kerry

It Doesn't Happen Overnight
Wednesday, February 06, 2013
I keep having to remind myself that habits don't change overnight. I have been frustrated with myself this past week because I keep giving into food cravings and haven't lost any weight. Although I have been exercising every day I am off work. Even though I am still making mistakes, I have learned several very good things so far:
1. Track what you eat. It doesn't matter if you change a thing yet. You need to be aware of what you are eating. I was very surprised when I first started tracking because I didn't think I was doing that poorly, but it turned out I was going at least several hundred calories over what I should have been eating each day!! Statistics also show you are MUCH more likely to be able to lose the weight and keep it off if you track your food and exercise. Myfitnesspal is a great app/website to use and makes it SUPER easy to track. I have always HATED tracking what I eat but since I have MFP on my phone, I have it with me at all times and have no excuse to skip tracking anymore!
2. Make your kitchen a happy place to be!! This means you need to clean out your fridge, freezer, and cupboard of anything that will constantly tempt you. I got rid of the poptarts, cookies, candy, frozen fried foods, white tortillas, etc. and replaced it with fruits, veggies, lean proteins, low fat dairy, and whole grain products. When you have nothing but healthy food in the house, you have no choice but to eat healthy!! It makes it SO much easier.
3. Drag your butt to the gym or off the couch to do a workout at home or outdoors, even on the days you REALLY don't want to. You may feel like crap, or be too tired, or think you don't have time right now, but if you just get up and start it, you will feel sooo much better! On days I really really don't want to work out, I make myself go anyway and just tell myself I will only do 10 or 15 minutes on the treadmill and then leave. But once I get there and get going, I still end up doing my 40-90 minute workout anyway! Afterwards, my day is so much more productive, I have more energy, and I just feel better about myself in general. Today was a day I didn't feel like doing anything but watching TV, but I made myself get out and walk a little bit. It started with 15 minutes. Then I ended up going to the gym for half and hour, and then tonight I did a 30 minute Pilates youtube video! I am even starting to enjoy working out!
I am only getting started on this journey, and there is so much more to learn!! I have read a ton of articles and of course had to take nutrition as a part of Nursing school, but I am by no means a fitness expert. All I can do is strive to keep learning new things every day and keep running towards my goals. I can't wait to hit the finish line!

This is exactly how I started with spark people and the first month I gained weight, but I kept tracking and exercising. But the 4th week, I found myself wanting to eat healthy and within my caloric range, as I got tired of seeing so many unhealthy foods and excess calories when I tracked. Now I eat healthy and exercise regularly and it has become a habit, just like overeating used to be.
And I totally agree with getting binge foods out of the kitchen. One day I found a box of cookies and almost ate the entire box, just because it was there! So goodbye binge food! Now I have to go to the store if I want to eat those foods.
You can do this! One day at a time, one decision at a time.

In more recent news, there has been an announcement for a Sword Art Online Movie: Ordinal Scale in 2017.
Also as Sword Art Online II has come to an end, and a movie is announced release date somewhere in 2017 as of current, S3 might follow after so no asking about it. Once it is announced, we will post it up. We have no control over development or production, no direct connection to the franchise, and my patience for any questions about them happens to be nil because the answer will always be the same "We will need to wait for its announcement by the company, until then patience. If S3 is announced at all." -Dim1
A huge castle made of stone and steel floating in an endless sky. That was all this world was.
It took a vagarious group of craftsmen one month to survey the place; the diameter of the base floor was about 10 kilometers — large enough to fit the entirety of Setagaya-ku within. Above, there were 100 floors stacking straight upwards; its sheer size was unbelievable. It was impossible to even guess how much data it consisted of.
Inside, there were a couple of large cities along with countless small scale towns and villages, forests and plains, and even lakes. Only one stairway linked each floor to another, and the stairways existed in dungeons where large numbers of monsters roamed; so discovering and getting through was no easy matter. However, once someone made a breakthrough and arrived at a city of the upper floor, the «Teleport Gates» there and of every cities in the lower floors would be connected making it possible for anyone to move freely through these levels.
With these conditions, the huge castle had been steadily conquered for two years. The current front line is the 74th floor.
The name of the castle was «Aincrad», a world of battles with swords that continued floating and had engulfed approximately six thousand people. Otherwise known as...

WAKEFIELD-MARENISCO fifth grader Kayla Kalmanek's drawing is the picture for August 2013 in the annual Xcel Energy Energy Safety Calendar competition for 2013-'14. Kalmanek is one of 11 students from eight states to be featured in the regional calendar.
WAKEFIELD — Out of hundreds of schools and thousands of students across eight states, Wakefield-Marenisco School pupil Kayla Kalmanek was one of 11 students featured in the annual Xcel Energy Safety Calendar for 2013-'14.
Cortney Ofstad/Daily Globe
WAKEFIELD-MARENISCO fifth grader Kayla Kalmanek is presented with award items from Michael BeBeau, of Xcel Energy, Friday in Wakefield. Kalmanek participated in the annual Xcel Energy calendar competition and had her submission selected for the month of August.
Kalmanek, a fifth grader, participated in the contest while in fourth grade and drew a photo with the energy safety tip, "Never unplug electronics with wet hands, or you will be TOAST!"
Her photo was selected for the month of August.
On Friday, Kalmanek was presented with copies of the calendar, as well as a backpack full of goodies and a gift card by Michael BeBeau, community service manager for Xcel.
When asked about her drawing, Kalmanek said she "guessed" she would win.
"I just thought it up," she said.
BeBeau said each calendar selection features a presentation in the school. Students from North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and South Dakota were also selected as winners.
"We do safety programs for students in grades third through fifth," BeBeau said. "We also have educational materials for teachers, if they are interested."
BeBeau told this year's fourth graders about the upcoming contest and said students could ask Kalmanek questions.
"Maybe she can give you some tips," BeBeau said.

This is an excellent story about a medical advance that is likely to make life considerably better for a significant number of people. It's to be applauded as it is: but it's possible to worry more than a little about what will happen if the technique becomes widespread.
The basic background is that there's a genetic or developmental abnormality called Mayer-Rokiansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome that leaves the vagina or uterus either underdeveloped or even absent in some unfortunate women. This happens to as many as one in 4,500 women, meaning that there might be 30,000 or so sufferers in the US at any one time. there have been treatments for this but they've not been very effective, have high complication rates and are, if we're honest about it, little more than surgical butchery trying to make some small difference.
And then along comes part of the new wave of entirely new treatments. Whereby a small piece of tissue is taken from the patient (clearly, for transplant rejection reasons it is better done this way) and then the necessary cells are grown on a structural lattice. This is then implanted where the missing parts should be and the condition is thereby cured. Not for the uterus as yet, but for the vagina it has been successfully done:
Follow-up tests showed that the engineered tissue was indistinguishable from the women's native tissue. "We now show up to an 8-year follow-up with those organs showing functionality," Atala said. By "functionality," he means that the women are now able to experience sexual desire, pain-free sex, and can even reach orgasm. This operation, however, will not allow them to bear children.
The full paper is here in The Lancet.
Findings We noted no long-term postoperative surgical complications. Yearly serial biopsies showed a tri-layered structure, consisting of an epithelial cell-lined lumen surrounded by matrix and muscle, with expected components of vaginal tissue present. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the presence of phenotypically normal smooth muscle and epithelia. The MRIs, which showed the extent of the vaginal aplasia before surgery, showed the engineered organs and the absence of abnormalities after surgery, which was confirmed with yearly vaginoscopy. A validated self-administered Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire showed variables in the normal range in all areas tested, such as desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and painless intercourse. Interpretation Vaginal organs, engineered from the patient's own cells and implanted, showed normal structural and functional variables with a follow-up of up to 8 years. These technologies could be useful in patients requiring vaginal reconstruction.
This is a great result for those tens of thousands of women (and, in cases where it is appropriate, their partners too one would assume).
However, there's something that slightly worries about the longer term of such surgery, which is the war between the sexes. Without being too crude about it it really is the fact that sex is great fun that drives a goodly portion of the dating game. And that dance between the two sexes (OK, add more as you please to suit your view of gender) is what leads to the way in which humans cooperate with each other. If we were to turn into a society where that cooperation were no longer necessary in order to gain access to sex then whether it would be a better or worse society is arguable, but it would most certainly be a very different one.
And if we can implant vaginas into women who do not have one then how long is it going to be before someone decides to try implanting them into men who do not have one but would like to? No, I don't mean as part of gender reassignment surgery: rather, how long before it is marketed as a way to get boys through their difficult teenage years? No need to chase the girls, here's one of your own to play with?
If you think that's unlikely then you've not been paying attention to the major driving force of hormonally challenged young men.
Yes, OK, it's easy enough to giggle at this extreme position. But it really would be a major change if teenage boys were able to have their own pleasure palaces. And one perhaps not for the better.

Coding Freedom
Coding Freedom book release event (Friday, November 16)
Hacker culture scholar Gabriella Coleman writes:
- I will be in San Francisco for the American Anthropological Association meetings two weeks after the publication of my first book on the politics of free software: Coding Freedom: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Hacking (http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9883.html). It will be released with a CC license.
- I did a chunk of my fieldwork in San Francisco between 2001-2003 and thought it would be quite fitting to hold a book event while visiting the foggy city and Noisebridge came up as a possible venue.
- It would be amazing to hold an event in the Mission, at a hacker space, after the culmination of such a LONG project where I can also thank those, like Seth Schoen, who is not only featured in the book but also was a great friend during my time there (and still is, just now remotely).
- I am thinking of holding the event on Friday November 16. I can provide snacks and drinks and can assure you that if held, it would only attract modest numbers; I imagine a handful of Anthropologists, folks from the EFF, some local open source developers, and perhaps a few interested stragglers might show up.
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements mailing lists, IRC or in person at Tuesday meetings. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff. DO pay attention, as some events just arise organically from the bottom up!
Want to host your event at Noisebridge? We like seeing classes and talks on interesting things pertaining to various subjects of hacking. Most of all, we like seeing familiar faces. Please participate in the space and our weekly Tuesday meetings to see if we're the right audience for what you want to share before announcing a new event. Additionally, please see our events hosting page for suggestions on how to use Noisebridge for your event/class/workshop.

The French ocean carrier said it intends to have Singapore's Neptune Orient Lines delisted from the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange as it pushes forward to acquire all of the shipping company's shares.
A new port navigation system consisting of 12 off-shore buoys and two land-based range markers, will allow for night time operations at the Liberian port for the first time in three decades, APM Terminals said in a statement.
The agriculture shipper advocate praised container weighing methods recently outlined by the Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association and G6 Alliance carriers, saying terminals nationwide should adopt similar methods.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The 4,650-TEU Safmarine Meru, the first ship on the 2M Alliance's new TP18/Lone Star Express service, had only 400 containers on board, while the other ship, the Northern Jasper, was off-hire, according to Maersk Line officials.
The 12,500-TEU containership MSC Fabiola was successfully refloated early Saturday morning, allowing vessel traffic in the important cargo gateway to resume as normal, according to a customer advisory from shipping agency GAC.
Container transport revenues at the Danish shipping conglomerate fell 20 percent year-over-year for the quarter due to a 26 percent decline in average freight rates.

Nobody wants to utter the words "raise taxes."
But the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors faces the possibility of having to raise property-tax rates in the coming fiscal year because county revenue from property taxes is projected to decline, and some elected county officers have asked for as much money as or more money than last year. Property taxes are the primary funding mechanism for county government.
The board oversees and approves budgets for all county offices.
It tries to negotiate with other elected county officials over their budgets, but once it approves a budget amount, it does not have authority over how that money is spent.
The board is in the early stages of crafting the county's fiscal 2014 budget. The new budget will be formally adopted in June, with the property-tax levy set in August.
County supervisors have been given preliminary projections for 2014 property-tax revenue and must weigh how much — if any — to cut from the already-thin budget to make ends meet.
No figures have yet been released, so it is unclear just how tight that revenue is expected to be.
Last month, supervisors were told analysts expected $36million less in revenue for the coming year unless supervisors raised the property-tax rate. That shortfall is expected to be updated in the coming weeks.
The current fiscal year's tax levy is $425million. The maximum tax the county legally could levy in fiscal 2014 is $578.8million.
County Manager Tom Manos already has said further cuts to the budget could threaten county operations.
"I think it's safe to say we have a lot more needs than our ability to pay for them. So it's just prioritizing ... and figuring out what absolutely can't be delayed, and find a way to pay for them," board Chairman Andy Kunasek said.
Kunasek thinks the county can keep its budget balanced if revenue is flat, provided all departments and officers keep their budget requests in check. But if revenue decreases even slightly, there could be trouble.
Elected officials have been presenting their budget requests to the board for the past two weeks. Those will wrap up this week with requests from the Sheriff's Office and county justice courts.
Supervisors last month asked all departments to submit options showing how they would cut their budgets by 3, 5 and 10percent.
But most elected officeholders warned supervisors during their presentations that any cuts would cripple their operations.
"If forced to reduce further, I think we have major impact on public safety," Maricopa County Superior Court Presiding Judge Norm Davis told the board.
Davis said he would submit a flat budget, but he asked supervisors to increase salaries for court commissioners, noting that Maricopa County's commissioners are responsible for much more — yet earn less — than those in other counties. For the first time in his memory, he said, county court commissioners have been interviewing for jobs with higher pay at lower-level municipal courts.
The lack of merit-based salary increases and cost-of-living adjustments for county employees has been a recurring theme at budget briefings.
The county has had a freeze on such raises for five years. The pressure to restore some type of permanent merit-based reward is weighing on the county, especially with other jurisdictions doing so.
Elected officials say turnover has increased among specialized employees — information-technology experts, courtroom clerks and county attorneys, for example — creating backlogs and heavier individual caseloads.
County Attorney Bill Montgomery said 2012 saw 20percent turnover among experienced attorneys from salary discrepancies created by frozen wages.
Entry-level attorneys draw the same salaries as those with six years of experience, even though experienced attorneys are handling serious cases involving sex crimes, dangerous offenses and complex gang activity, he said. Individual caseloads are 20 to 30 percent higher than they should be, he added.
Montgomery has been meeting with county supervisors and budget officials to mitigate the issue. He requested an additional $2.5million during his budget presentation but said it would take another $10million to offset the salary-discrepancy issue.
Montgomery said his office plans to submit the budget-cutting scenarios requested by the board.
But he added that if they are imposed, prosecution of some lower-level felonies may need to be delegated to municipal prosecutors.
Elected officials must still submit their formal budget requests. Among initial requests presented to the board so far:
The Recorder's Office asked for $4million in contingency funds in case the Elections Department must hold an election to recall Sheriff Joe Arpaio. An additional $1.5million is needed for the office to check recall signature petitions.
Election officials also asked for a one-time appropriation of $5million for electronic poll books so voters can swipe identification cards electronically at polls to save resources and minimize provisional voting.
The Treasurer's Office requested about $400,000 more than this year for IT costs and additional positions in the accounting department.
The county superintendent of schools asked supervisors for pay increases and an extra one-time appropriation of $1.24million to renew his educational service agency's financial system, new vehicles and hardware replacement.
The Assessor's Office asked the board not to cut the budget of the customer-service call center used by several elected offices, including the Board of Supervisors. Among the office's budget requests were software costs and money to offset increases in postage rates.
The clerk of the Superior Court asked for the same amount as last year but noted certain areas for the board to consider extra funding, such as processing the increased number of juvenile-dependency cases.
Constables submitted a flat budget.

[Jetty-support] Problem starting jetty plus
Michael Eastwood <meastwood <at> synergyccs.com.au>
Hello. Have been looking at the JettyPlus bits and pieces, and came across a couple of problems: 1. Trying to start the jettyplus demo, ant exits with a xercesImpl parsing exception (can't put '--' inside a comment). Specifically, lines 60-65 of jettyplus.xml contain 'comments' such as -- millis -- which interfere with parsing. Changing these to - millis - allowed the demo to run correctly. 2. Trying to weave JNDI Datasource lookups into my own code, I reconfigured the server to use the org.mortbay.jetty.plus.Server class, and edited start.config in start.jar as per instructions on http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/plus/. Unfortunately, with these changes made start.jar becomes useless, exiting with NullPointerExceptions. Specifically, org/mortbay/plus/Server.java in its main method creates new Servers as per the xml configuration, then tries immediately to start each one. Starting involves iterating over the service list. This service list is not initialized unless the xml configuration file contains at least one "addService" call. This requirement isn't stated on the plus page above, or in the README file that comes in the plus section's build area. Although it might seem obvious that you would want to congiure services to bother using the plus server, a more helpful error message, or a little doco might smooth the way.

Meg's friend invited her over to go through a shed on her property that was full of old things. Meg blogs at Meg and Mum's, and you wouldn't believe the makeover she gave the old secretary desk she found in that shed.
Meg did some serious clean up work (pulling out spiders–ewww!) on the desk before she painted it with a cheerful Union Jack! Now the desk is a gorgeous art piece, looking like a real royal beauty. It's a far cry from what it looked like when Meg found it.
You can view more pictures of this fun transformation at Meg and Mum's.

The idea is to recognize the builders, the architects and the interior designers of these homes, said Geri Strand, executive officer of the Park City Area Home Builders Association.
"Most of these are custom homes and some of them are for sale," Strand told The Park Record. "[The tour] is a collaboration with all of them and, in some cases, the owners."
This year's Park City Area Showcase of Homes will run this weekend through Sunday, Aug. 24, and next weekend from Friday, Aug. 29, through Monday, Sept. 1.
The hours are Fridays from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. and Saturdays through Sunday and Labor Day from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Tickets are $12 in advance or online and $15 at the door, and there will be five homes on the tour that will sell tickets as well, according to Strand.
A portion of all ticket sales will be donated to the Park City Area Home Builders Charitable Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization, she said.
"A ticket is good for both weekends, so people can see a couple of homes today and tomorrow and continue the tour next weekend," she said.
There are 19 homes on the tour this year.
"The tour starts up in Deer Valley and we have a couple in the Park Meadows area, three in the Colony and we always have one up in the Woods at Parley's, which is always nice to have," Strand said.
There are also three homes at Promontory, one at Tuhaye and seven in the Heber and Midway area.
"Typically, we usually showcase one or two over in the Heber area, but that area is growing so fast and we have a nice variety over there," she said. "We've got everything from some big custom homes and some reasonably priced homes. And that's kind of cool."
Although the houses are numbered, the tour is self-guided.
"This way, people can visit the homes in any order," Strand explained. "There is one entry per house, but this year we are allowing people to go back to two of their favorite houses."
The Park City Area Home Builders Association selects which houses are on the tour through an application process.
"The builder will submit an application with an entry fee, because we want the builders to be active in our association," Strand explained. "We then have a committee that reviews the application,"
Those who go on the tour will see the latest in architecture and interior design.
"They are just unbelievable, and the landscaping will blow your mind away," Strand said. "One of my favorite things about these homes is how they reflect outdoor living. These homes have amazing views and have huge windows that, in a sense, bring outdoor living inside."
The tour also allows the public to get an idea of the builders,' designers' and owners' personalities.
"We've noticed this year is that there are 96 bedrooms and 93 bathrooms on this tour," Strand said. "To get a feel for what people do with their closets and bathrooms is a fun little tidbit in the tour."
The sponsors this year include Zion' Bank, which is the event's title sponsor, and Questar Gas is our energy champion sponsor, Mountain West Bank, Hamilton Park Interiors and Mountain Land Design.
Over the past 16 years, the Park City Area Home Builders Association has seen design trends come and go.
"This year's tour will showcase a lot of contemporary designs, along with the mountain, rustic retreat type of design you would expect in Park City," Strand said.
Once people complete the tour, they can vote on their favorite kitchen, outdoor living, master bedroom or master bath and a People's Choice Award.
"We have an app that is available for iPhone and Android that will have a map, a list of houses and a place where people can vote," Strand said. "People can download the app online from our website."
The Park City Area Home Builders Association and Zion's Bank will present the 2014 Park City Area Showcase of Homes through Sunday, Aug. 24, and Friday through Sunday, Aug. 29-Sept. 1. This year's Showcase will feature 19 homes throughout the Park City and Heber Valley areas. For more information, visit www.PCShowcaseOfHomes.com.

I am sorry to hear about your troubles with your sister-in-law. Hang in there, though, as you will find a nice new place I am sure. There are some great deals to be gotten in real estate now too, especially if you are handy in fixing things up a bit. I don't know if you and your hubby ever considered retiring in the Philippines, but that might be something to think about (my wife and I are planning on doing that when the time comes). All the best to you and yours!
Hey Buzz, I'm fine although I still recovering from the traumatic experience I had from my hubby's sister. The idea of retiring in the Philippines in the future, well sad to say that my hubby is not open to that in fact he already bought our cemetery plot 2 years ago so surely will going to retire here. :DReplyDelete

Let $A$ be a Noetherian ring (commutative with $1$) and $M$ a finitely generated $A$-module. I want to show that there exists a bound $n$ such that for every nilpotent endomorphism $T : M \to M$ we have $T^n = 0$.
There are two examples in mind:
- $M$ a module over a field $K$, that is $M = K^n$ a finite-dimensional vector space. In that case, $n$ is the required upper bound.
- $A=K[x]/(x^d)$ as a module over itself. In that case the dimension is $1$ (a basis is $\{ 1 \}$) but the upper bound is $d$ (consider the endomorphism $y \mapsto x y$).

New Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin, on May 21, said that he has received numerous calls from other teams wanting to know the availability of the Cavs No. 1 pick. Griffin said that he will have to think long and hard about trading the pick.
"I actually got calls right afterward, while I was standing there doing media," Griffin said Wednesday during an interview on ESPN Cleveland's "The Really Big Show." "Teams were already reaching out and texting, so I think it will be an active period of time."
Cleveland, which also won the draft lottery in 2013-14, only had 1.7 percent chance of obtaining the top pick this year. The Cavs, 33-49, had the ninth worst record in the league and were among the youngest in the league – eight players under-25 years old at the conclusion of the season.
So should the Cavaliers keep the pick or trade for a veteran, as the team expects to make the playoffs next season?
Before deciding, here are some particulars about the team.
Cleveland recently hired David Griffin as general manager and still needs to find a coach after firing Mike Brown just season in his second stint with the team. The team has reportedly contacted Florida head coach Billy Donovan to gauge his interest though he claims he is happy in Gainesville.
The Cavaliers ranked 22nd in the league in scoring (98.2) and 16th in defense (101.5).
Cleveland has already $32.8 million guaranteed in salaries with leaving them approximately $25 to 33 million under the cap for the 2014-15 season. Luol Deng, Spencer Hawes and C.J. Miles are unrestricted free agents.
The Cavs also have the expiring contracts of Anderson Varajao ($9.7 million team optiom) and Alonzo Gee ($3.2million team option) that they can include in deals. Matt Dellavedova ($816,842) salary and Scotty Hopson ($2.4 million) salary is not guaranteed.
Varajao is one of the Cavs most valuable assets. He led the Cavs in rebounds (9.7 pg) and is a terrific ow post defender. Vajarao is not much of an offensive threat and get most of his points around though he did produce 16 double-doubles last year.
While Varajao is productive, he is 31-years old and prone to injuries – Varajao has not played a full season since 2008-09. Plus Cleveland has a bunch of young power forwards – Tristan Thompson, Anthony Bennett and Tyler Zeller.
The core does have a nice talented core that will need to continue to grow like Kyrie Irving, Thompson, Dion Waiters and Bennett, who needs to show significant improvement. Jarrett Jack, and Varajao are solid veteran role players.
Irving earned his first All-Star appearance last year. He led the Cavs with 20.6 points and 6.1 assists. Irving cut his turnovers down from 3.2 a game in 2012-13 to 2.7 a game last year.
Thompson, 23, is a very good rebounder though he still isn't a huge factor on the offensive end. The power-forward will be a restricted free agent after next seasons and there are rumors the Cavs may looking to unload him.
Waiters, the No. 4 pick in 2012, improved but not as much as the Cavs had hoped. He increased his scoring (15.9 from 14.7 ppg) and shooting percentage (43.3 up from 41.1) while most of his other number were pretty much the same as his rookie year except 3pt percentage and free throw percentage. Waiters hit 29 more triples than his freshman season but his free throw percentage plummeted from 74.6 percent to 68.5 percent.
Bennett, the No. 1 overall selection last year, was a major disappointment. He averaged just 4.2 points, while shooting 35.6 percent from the floor, and 3.0 rebounds a game. Bennett was out of shape early and shot a paltry 35.6 percent from the field.
This upcoming season will be key for Zeller and Carrick Felix.
Cleveland has two draft picks in 2014 – the No. 1 and No. 33 overall selections.
The Cavs biggest need is center and small forward. They could also use help at the two-guard position.
The rest of the article will look at the projected top-three picks of the 2014 draft.
Joel Embiid
1. Joel Embiid
Embiid is very similar to Nerlens Noel, who was projected to be the first pick last year's draft – Noel was selected by New Orleans with the sixth selection overall -- , in multiple ways. The 20-year old is projected to be a defensive force immediately, is limited offensively and has a history of injury.
Still, the Cavs have the 7-foot center out of Kansas at the top of their wish list according to sources.
Embiid averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game this past season as a freshman. He missed both the Big 12 and NCAA tournament because of what Kansas deemed a stress fracture in his lower back.
He did not attend last week's NBA combine in Chicago, fueling further speculation regarding his health status. However, Chad Ford of ESPN said that Embiid has added 15 pounds of muscle and still moves well. Ford also said his jumper looks beautiful.
Andrew Wiggins
Luol Deng is expected to be a hot commodity in free agency and sign elsewhere, so that would leave a gaping hole at small forward.
Wiggins, a 6-foot-7 wing out of Kansas, is thought to have the best long-term potential and could jump into the starting lineup immediately if he is selected by the Cavs. If selected by Cleveland , the 19-year old would be the second consecutive Canadian taken with the top overall pick – Cleveland selected Anthony Bennett with the top pick last year.
Wiggins possess electrifying athleticism and is expected to be a force on the defensive end immediately. He has great lateral quickness and is very long -6-foo-11 wingspan.
Offensively, he is expected to develop into an elite scorer thought that may take time. Wiggins has a quick first step and gets to the line a lot.
Wiggins averaged 17.1 points per game (ppg), 5.9 rebounds per game (rpg), and made 34.1% of his three-pointers in his freshman year.
Jabari Parker
Parker is a long shot to be selected No. 1 by the Cavs. As stated above the Cavs are loaded at the power forward position which the 19-year old plays. Parker is considered the most NBA-ready of the three though.
Parker is a solid low post scorer but is not the defender Wiggins and Embiid are.
The 6-foot-8 forward has a 7-foot wingspan and possess the ball-handling skills of a guard. and bully thinner forwards on the block.
Parker can drive with his left or right hand and finish through traffic with either. He also has deep range, shooting 36 percent from behind the arc in his freshman season.
Parker possesses good athleticism and is terrific in transition.
However, he has a habit of taking bad shots.
Parker's main issues on defense is that he hunches, thus allowing players on the perimeter to drive past him, rather than sitting down in a defensive stance.
Parker averaged averaged 19.1 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists a game last season at Duke.
