A paintball experience day can be just the tonic one needs. Great for birthdays, stag nights, corporate events and any other reason!
Over the last few years Paintballing has become the pastime of choice. This is a game where two teams of players shoot at each other using paintball pellets in different colors. It is basically an outdoor game that needs to be played preferably in woody settings to create the exact mood for the game. We offer paintball games for all ages on our program. For the thrill of a lifetime, spend your paintball days with us and see how exciting the game really is. You can have real fun shooting at each other and getting covered with paint in all colours.
The gift experience vouchers are tastefully wrapped in ribbon and delivered next day.
If that's not quick enough for you we also have the facility to print your own voucher immediately as a temporary present while you wait for your actual gift experience voucher to arrive.

Miami Dolphins: Davone Bess on the quarterback derby
Quarterback controversies can split an NFL locker room faster than anything.
As certain factions rally around one potential leader, others might prefer his rival for the offensive controls.
Quarterback controversies can split an NFL locker room faster than anything.
As certain factions rally around one potential leader, others might prefer his rival for the offensive controls.
Reggie Bush rushed for 1,000 yards last season for the first time in his NFL career.
Now, the Miami Dolphins running back wants to set the bar even higher.
He believes he can lead the league in rushing.
"I think it's very possible," Bush said Saturday on Day 2 of Dolphins training camp. "We'll see when this train begins, but I think it's possible, yes."
No one is expecting the Miami Marlins to break everything down and try to rebuild again slowly, as they did in 2006.
However, just in case some in their front office are tempted to do just that, Dan Uggla has a word of caution.
Uggla, now playing second base for the Braves, was one of the all-time great finds in the Rule V draft in December 2005. He hit the ground running, quickly finding his stride amid a low-pressure environment with few people in the stands at Sun Life Stadium.
Things are different, he says, now that the Marlins have their own taxpayer-funded stadium.
They could have become a South Florida institution, right up there with the Marks Brothers and the Heat Superfriends.
OK, maybe not quite that high, but Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez still formed quite a middle infield for the Marlins from 2006-2010.
That's why Uggla, now an All-Star second baseman for the Braves, still seemed a bit floored Wednesday afternoon by the trade that sent his former teammate to the Dodgers more than six hours earlier.
Now that the Miami Marlins have ended their seven-season association with Hanley Ramirez, traded this morning to the Dodgers (along with veteran reliever Randy Choate) for a pair of pitching prospects, it seems an appropriate time to assign blame.
Vote below for who/what you believe did the most to sabotage this 2012 Marlins season.
Three Things to consider on this sports Tuesday now that I'm back from vacation:
Thing 1: Now that the disappointing Miami Marlins have begun their selloff, canceling their pursuit of a first playoff trip in nine years, does that mean Showtime might cancel The Franchise as well?
Three Things to consider on this Miami Heat Free Agency Wednesday:
Thing 1: Pat Riley was understandably in a great mood today as he and Erik Spoelstra introduced first Rashard Lewis and then Ray Allen to the assembled media.
Riley, the Heat president, joked about awarding $100 to whichever reporter got a Lewis grip-and-grin picture up first on Twitter. (Heat broadcaster Jose Pineda "won" the imaginary prize.)
Three Things to consider on this All-Star Tuesday:
Thing 1:Wrote today's column in the Sun Sentinel about a fascinating idea for a No Limits Park in my hometown of Parkland.
No matter where you stand on the issue, you have to admire the passion and belief of Parkland Buddy Sports founder Jeb Niewood. Check out an interview I conducted with him in the attached video clip.
Three Things to consider on this sports Thursday:
Thing 1: I still would rather have seen them grab Carlos Quentin from the Padres, but a well-deserved tip of the cap to the Miami Marlins, who moved aggressively to acquire a much-needed veteran bat with Wednesday's Carlos Lee trade.
Better to act now, with this highly inconsistent team teetering 4 1/2 games off the second wild-card pace, than wait until the final hours before the July 31 tradeline, as teams typically do. This gives the Marlins an extra three-plus weeks to ignite their offense and make up for a horrid June.
Three Things to consider on this sports Tuesday:
Thing 1: With rumors swirling of a Florida Panthers reunion with former goalie Roberto Luongo, Panthers General Manager Dale Tallon had some interesting things to say Monday about long-term commitments.
Luongo is still due about $47.3 million over the final 10 years of the mega-deal he signed two seasons ago with the Vancouver Canucks. That kind of term could scare off most teams, especially those who believe Luongo is on the decline, but Tallon remains open-minded.

OMG what is with the sassing and the backtalk? My DS is driving us crazy. We are really good about not ignoring it, and we sit him down and explain to him exactly what is wrong with the way he spoke, and why he needs to be more respectful, and 20 minutes later he's doing it again. We don't speak this way at home or to each other and we are pretty careful about what he watches, but geesh! Anyone else?
Sassing and backtalk
Comments (10)
I hear you! Mine gets it from other kids at school, I'm pretty sure. I just tell him I don't like to hear those kinds of words and give an example of what he can say instead. Once or twice, I've sent him to his room for a time-out until he can talk to me more respectfully.
must be the age b/c our son is doing this too. we sit him down and talk to him about respecing others and why its important.
Wife to Josh 7/17/04! Mommy to Bradyn 6/1/05, Parker 1/9/08, and Layne 12/28/11
Thanks ladies. It's good to know I am not the only one. I just want to make sure we get this one right going forward so we don't end up with a disrespectful pre-teen. Yikes!
OMG it's been horrible here too! Not only that but now his 4 and 2 year old siblings are repeating it. Drives me absolutely batty..not only is he sassy and disrespectful to us but I hear him talking that way to the neighbor friends or his siblings. He is so caring and loving usually but when he is in a mood boy everyone should watch out. Good luck and let me know if you figure anything out!!

I think it is the age, I don't put up with it. Priveledges get taken away very quickly...thankfully he doesn't speak to any other adults that way, probably because he knows he;d be in way worse trouble if that was the case.
My DS is the same way.... my oldest DS now 13 went through the same thing around this age. it's driving me and DH insane.
We've taken things away, popped his mouth, etc. nothing seems to work :( It's even worse now that we're expecting #3.
My daughter loves princesses so we thought it would be fun to do "Princess Training" and teach her how kind and respectful princesses behave. 5-10 min each evening or when we think about it. We use toy tea cups and place settings. "A true princess must never say bad things about the food she is served." We also sometimes read princess stories that promote good manners. Disney has a few princess stories dedicated to manners and One Pea is another great one.

I've noticed it based on who DD hangs out with. Certain kids, when she spends more time with them, just bring out more of those behaviors.We have lots and lots of conversations with her about what is acceptable and appropriate and what is not. The biggest thing we've been using is "would you talk to your teacher like that?" which has worked pretty well for us, though that's bc she's a great kid at school and with OTHER authority figures... *sigh*

When The Hollywood Reporter revealed on July 30, 2014, that a trailer for Kevin Smith's horror film "Tusk" was online, it thrilled a lot of people. The trailer shows a very creepy story that may sound funny when you think of someone being turned into a walrus, but it truly does bring about a scary vibe as the two-and-a-half minutes goes on. The more mysterious question though...is Johnny Depp actually in the film?
Some reports state that Depp is actually in the film, but no-one involved with it has ever actually confirmed that he's got a role.
Bloody-Disgusting has a source that is confirming Depp's involvement in "Tusk," but you may not even realize that it truly is him.
Depp is said to be playing the role of Guy Lapointe and he's got a very "thick accent" and he's said to be "barely recognizable" when in character. Smith has said nothing about Depp being in the strange horror film, but all will know for sure when it hits theaters on Sept. 19, 2014.
"Tusk" tells the tale of a reporter named Wallace who goes to interview a strange seafarer named Howard Howe (Michael Parks). While there, Howe drugs Wallace and intends to surgically turn his guest into a walrus.
Depp's role of Lapointe is reported to be that of a French Canadian detective who has been hunting Howe for over 10 years. It will be interesting to see if Depp is in the film, but it seems that lately, his roles are meant to be mysterious such as proven in the first trailer for Disney's "Into the Woods."
"Tusk" stars Justin Long, Genesis Rodriguez, Miachel Parks, Haley Joel Osment, and (possibly) Johnny Depp. It's set to hit theaters this September.

Pixel Building: Australia's First Carbon Neutral Building is Now Complete!
Start Slideshow
- Pixel Building-Studio505No, this is not a rendering, do not adjust your screen. This crazy building is a real live structure and it's also Australia's very first carbon neutral building. Recently completed, the Pixel Building is an office building located on the former CUBBrewery site in Melbourne. Scoring a perfect 105 points on the Australia's Green Star rating system, the office building designed by Studio505 is an amazing example of what is possible in terms of energy efficiency, renewable energy, water collection, waste reduction and green roofs. Capable of collecting all of its own water and generating all of its own energy, the funky, colorful pixelated building is totally self-sustaining.1
- Pixel Building-Studio505Pixel is a 'Future Office' - a prototype for commercial buildings that produce their own power and collect their own water for a future carbon constrained world.2

When Mercury, the Messenger, and Mars, the god of War, work together the news stories get aggressive. In reaction to the hundreds of spoofs on Amanda Knox's publicized selfie last week, her PR fought back today. An article was published in the news with a few pictures of Knox's friends and family holding signs to support the twice convicted killer's alleged innocence. With Mercury and Mars in an unstoppable trine, don't expect things to end here as more parodies of Knox's selfie are produced daily.
Read below for today and the rest of this week's forecast:
Sunday, Feb 16 2014 Mercury Tri Mars
26°Aq29' R 26°Li29' D
Decisiveness. Mental assertiveness. Honesty. Practical solutions. Technical skills. Fast work, rapid progress.
Words come fast and furious today as arguments seem unstoppable. This is a good time to debate a topic or work on a technical issue (since Mercury is retrograde there are many computer glitches to work out.) People may be driving faster than usual today as well since everyone will seem to be more in a rush. An excellent time for research, writing and pushing forth your ideas. This is not a good time to expect a peaceful, quiet meeting of the minds, information, thinking, as discussions quickly escalate and become more involved (and furious) than may have been anticipated.
Direct Mercury first trined Mars on Jan 24th 2014, retrograde today Feb 16th to trine again until the final direct Mercury trine Mars on March 14th. This may indicate a related or similar events occurring on these dates.
Now is a good time to learn something new as information will come quickly and easily. A good time for thinking, writing, learning about anything dealing with transportation, war, weapons, local area, children, and debate. Be direct and honest in all discourse now or suffer the consequences. Beware that with Mercury retrograde there may be some rehashing old arguments however this is an auspicious time to go over past work and theories.
Tuesday, Feb 18 2014 Sun Enter Pisces
You are an imaginative and serene individual. You need to express your fantasies and imagination, and may be a dreamer or be ungrounded.
The Sun is leaving the Saturn/Uranus ruled air sign of Aquarius which gives more fixed opinions and support for humanitarian causes to enter Pisces. The Sun will be in this emotional, psychic sign, ruled by Jupiter until March 20th (Spring Equinox.) This will be a creative and lucky time for many. It is also a time of sorrows and spirituality. Leaders may retreat into the back rooms to work in solitude. This is a good time for religious events, cinema, escapism, drugs, addictions, paranormal, anything to do with water, ocean, chemicals, and the imagination. Art will also flourish under this influence. Beware of subliminal or unconscious influences while under this transit. This may also be a time of some type of propaganda, lies or subconscious influences. This is the time to read between the lines and trust your instincts more as they will powerful now. Some may get a bit lazy and prefer to relax and daydream.
Wednesday, Feb 19 2014 Mercury Sqr Saturn
23°Aq12' R 23°Sc12' D
Narrow, focused thinking. Exclusion. Limitations in transport or communication. Overly exacting judgments. Delays.
Mercury square Saturn can cause delays and obstacles in communications, computers, and commuting. However, Mercury in Aquarius likes Saturn so this aspect may be a successful one in implementing new protocols, ideas and other information. Be prepared to have to struggle with some difficulties before all is said and done. To get the most from this aspect, you will have to work hard, deal with some type of suffering and do your due diligence.
Direct Mercury first squared Saturn on Jan 25th 2014, now Feb 19th retrograde Mercury squares Saturn again and one last square between these two planets will occur on March 11th 2014. Therefore, this may be a recurring issue or problem in your life that needs to be worked out around these dates.
This aspect does not make communications easier but through hard work, perseverance and maybe a little help from older/experienced minds this could be a time of great academic, historical, or literary achievement. Be prepared to struggle with discussions, paperwork, children, or ideas and take the time to cover all of your bases and this may produce outstanding accomplishment which may win awards and stand the test of time.

Cleaning up in the kitchen doesn't have to be a chore anymore thanks to COOKINA.
Instead of wasting our time with aluminum foil, we use COOKINA Barbecue Reusable Grilling Sheet's reusable grilling sheet as an alternative to parchment and wax paper. The 100-percent nonstick surface is not only the best way to keeping grills clean but it is also a healthier alternative to cooking without using oils.
Simply cut the sheet to size and fit to the grill. We love using these (with plastic and wood utensils only) especially when it comes to cooking seafood. The sheets protect the food from dropping into the grill and catching first, causing overheating and burning. After use, simply wash with soapy water using the included scour pad and rinse.
Best of all, grillers can still achieve the coveted grill mark on foods!

College Hockey:A First: Quinnipiac in Poll's Top 10
And a Rarity: Michigan Unranked for First Time in 12 Years
Welcome to the top 10, Quinnipiac. And that's not the only bit of history in this week's USCHO.com/CBS College Sports Division I Men's Poll.
The Bobcats made the program's first appearance in the Division I top 10 on Monday, checking in at No. 9 after improving to 10-1.
Related link: Full rankings
They improved four spots after beating new No. 20 Colgate and then-No. 5 Cornell, both on the road, last weekend.
Miami still holds the top spot in the poll after a win and a tie at Western Michigan put the RedHawks at 9-1-4. The rest of the top five: Denver, Massachusetts-Lowell, North Dakota and Colorado College.
Another noteworthy event in this week's poll: Michigan is unranked for the first time since Nov. 24, 1997, when the poll ranked only the top 10 teams. Then again, in 1997-98, the Wolverines rebounded nicely — they won the national championship.
They dropped out of the rankings this week after splitting a series with Bowling Green and moving their record to 5-7.
Quinnipiac and Bemidji State are the only teams with 10 wins already this season, and the Beavers moved up two spots this week to No. 6. That also is a program best in Division I for Bemidji State.
After sweeping Minnesota at Mariucci Arena last weekend, Minnesota-Duluth was the biggest upward mover, jumping six spots to 14th.
Nebraska-Omaha fell seven spots to No. 19 after a pair of losses at Northern Michigan.
Ferris State and Colgate joined the rankings at Nos. 17 and 20, respectively, while Princeton joined Michigan among those falling out.
This week's list of games between ranked opponents starts at the top, where Miami will play No. 6 Bemidji State on Friday and No. 3 North Dakota on Saturday in the Subway Hockey Classic in Grand Forks, N.D.
Other games: No. 20 Colgate at No. 7 Cornell and No. 10 Massachusetts at No. 18 Vermont on Tuesday; No. 15 Wisconsin at No. 8 Michigan State on Friday; and No. 10 Massachusetts at No. 9 Quinnipiac on Saturday.

GONCALVES, Gislayne Elisana et al. Synthesis and characterization of mullite using silica from rice husk. Rem: Rev. Esc. Minas [online]. 2009, vol.62, n.3, pp.367-372. ISSN 0370-4467. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0370-44672009000300016.
Mullite, composed of 1,4Al2O3.SiO2 was synthesized using commercial α-alumina (Alpha Cesar Company) and silica obtained from the calcinations of rice husk. This silica exhibits a high specific surface area, high purity and small average particle diameter. Silica (26.2 wt.%) and α-alumina powders (71.8 wt. %) were mixed and homogenized using an alumina orbital disc mill before and after the calcinations at 1100ºC for 4 h in an air atmosphere. Then, the powders were pressed uniaxially at a pressure of 1200 MPa. The green compacts were sintered at 1650ºC, for 4 h, in air. The density of compacted sintering samples was determined using the hydrostatic method. The chemical and structural properties were observed using ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and 29Si MAS (Magic Angle Spinning) NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and the microstructural characterization performed using SEM (Scanning Electron Micrography). The results show that it is possible to synthesize mullite ceramic of high-purity and with little glassy phase from the α-alumina and silica obtained from the rice husk that is purified and calcinated.

Equity Markets Continue to Lift Despite a Lack of Clear Confirmation From Other Asset Classes
Stocks say "yes" while bonds, currencies, and commodities are saying "maybe" at best and "hell no" at worst.
Sea Change's krona / franc indicator is still trending lower off of recent peak – signaling more corrective action in equities to come.
The spin-off of the Franc analysis above is our firm's krona / franc indicator. When the dark red "spread" line in the middle of the chart below is trending higher, it's positive for stocks. When it's trending lower, it's negative for stocks (on a leading basis for each scenario). Right now, despite the short-term rise, the trend is lower for the spread line, which keeps this indicator in "risk-off" territory for now.
The British pound is nearing important "correction" resistance.
I thought I would throw in one more currency futures chart this week – that of the British pound (@BP). The pound is nearing critical "correction resistance" on the chart and theoretically (given the bearish overall nature of the chart) should turn and reverse lower soon. I would be looking for ways to play the short-side of the BP given what this chart is telling me (maybe shorting GBPCHF is the play considering this chart and that of SF).
The yield on the 10-year Treasury Note remains (artificially) subdued.
No surprises here: The FOMC has rates pegged near the recent lows. Clearly this is the case, but there's no use complaining.
I'm still not seeing clear bullish evidence coming from the currency or fixed income arenas, although I will note that the action in SPDR Barclays Capital High-Yield Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:JNK) and iShares JPMorgan USD Emerging Market Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:EMB) (not shown in today's article due to time / space constraints) are acting more bullishly. Treasury yields remaining low like this have to be attributed to the Fed. Other than that, I just cannot give this equity rally the "all clear" for future gains, based on the evidence from the equity markets themselves as well as on the currency markets.
All of that analysis aside, though, I go back to what I opened with: the Tepper analysis. Maybe we should just keep all of this other stuff in mind as we defer to the Tepper theory for now; it seems to be the most profitable play for now.

Nokia Ovi Movies service on the way?
With Nokia busily moving into various online content and service fields, one thing is glaringly missing from it's OVI online offerings.
Yes, I know, they are pretty busy with worldwide rollout of Music store, Ovi store for apps and other things.
And I know that one Nokia exec explicitly stated that they do not plan a separate full fledged Movie offering like Samsung Movies for Mobile or Sony Ericsson PlayNow Movies and will use Ovi Store for video content.
Well, I was watching Anssi Vanjoki presentation at Web 2.0 and noticed one interesting thing in one of the slides:
Aren't there too many icons in that Ovi service line-up? The last icon from the left definetely looks like something related to movies to me. And all other icons come from various Nokia services available through Ovi portal.
And it does not look like an icon for an Ovi store, I think. The focus is on apps there, and this one is clearly film/video related.
So what do you think? Can a separate Nokia Ovi Movie offering be on the way, despite their public denials?
After all they've got a separate offering for the music. And movies, TV Series, other big studio licensed stuff, with their DRM, copyright requirements and regional complications, are much closer to music then various apps and content anyone can create and publish through OVI store.

I am building my dev machine with WS2008R2SP1. I consider Windows Server as the best development environment for C# since I tend to focus on server-centric (integration) applications. The desktop flavor of Windows (7) doesn't play nicely with things like Commerce Server or BizTalk... so I to like stick to the environment I develop for. Previously I used to develop inside of VM's but I've found that it is super inefficient and tends to take a toll on the laptops. (I've gone through two of them in 6 months).
Problem is that I multiple devices that do not want to be recognized by Windows:
My machine is Dell Precision M4500:
Intel Core i7-Q740,
Dell re-branded Broadcom DW1501 802x11n Half-Mini Card,
Dell re-branded Broadcom DW375 Bluetooh Module,
Intel 82577LM Gigabit Network connection
NVidia Quadro FX1800 Graphics
The devices in question are the Dell rebranded broadcom network and bluetooth adapters:
Broadcom USH:
DW375 Bluetooth Module
When I ran the broadcom installers I get "Operating System not supported" which I think is a big oversight on Broadcom's part. Why check for system version string? UGHGHGH
Moreover if I try to manually force the driver in windows... I get an error:
Driver Management concluded the process to install driver FileRepository\btwampsecfl.inf_amd64_neutral_d8fc2b85d035ed47\btwampsecfl.inf for Device Instance ID USB\VID_0A5C&PID_5800&MI_00\7&66DE6C9&0&0000 with the following status: 0xe0000217.
'- or -
Driver Management concluded the process to install driver FileRepository\btwampfl.inf_amd64_neutral_d4c4acf036c61299\btwampfl.inf for Device Instance ID USB\VID_413C&PID_8187\90004EEEF5A6 with the following status: 0xe0000217.
I googled the
0xe0000217 error code and it says
Bad service install section in the driver inf file...
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I also tried the post by
BetaIQ on MSDN Forum, unfortunately the links to the driver package included in the post were dead :(
PS. On a side note I also do mobile development for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone, and BB. Having the bluetooth is quite useful with mobile devices.

In an attempt to suppress a videotaped confession, a Queens man facing murder charges testified Wednesday that Nassau County homicide detectives ignored his request for an attorney before grilling him about his alleged involvement in a fatal shooting.
William Flowers, 31, of Rosedale, is currently facing charges of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the death of 29-year-old James Warren. Flowers, who has pleaded not guilty, testified Wednesday during a pre-trial hearing after rejecting an offer by prosecutors to lessen the charges to manslaughter in exchange for a 12-year prison term.
The hearing – to determine whether the videotaped confession is admissible – left Flowers taking the witness stand and saying he told investigators he was involved in a marijuana sale when two men – one of whom he knew – hopped in his car and tried to rob him at knifepoint. During questioning, Flowers said one of the men was holding a knife at his throat and ransacking his car when he reached for a gun on the floor of his car and fired a shot before driving off from the meeting spot behind an apartment building on Fulton Avenue in Hempstead.
Warren, police said, was found shot on the sidewalk behind the apartment building on Jan. 30, 2013 and died after being rushed to a nearby hospital. Investigators said Flowers fled the state after the fatal shooting. He was apprehended by homicide detectives in Rhode Island in February 2013.
Flowers said he was arrested in the parking lot of a hotel in Warwick, RI, where he had been staying for about a week while working nearby. He said he was hauled into a local police station and questioned by Nassau homicide detectives about the fatal shooting – but contends he immediately asked for a lawyer when he was brought into an interrogation room. On the witness stand, Flowers said detectives ignored his request and said he then told them "a phony story" about shacking up with a prostitute in West Hempstead the night of the shooting.
His alleged confession came later when detectives began to question him again. Flowers said he felt he had been "coerced" because investigators caused him to become emotional during the questioning. He said he "broke down" during the interrogation and told the cops "the full details." The videotaped recording, he claims, only shows detectives returning for a third time to "basically go over the real story."
His defense lawyer, Brian Carmody, said authorities "violated [his client's] Miranda rights in two different ways." He said Flowers had asked to speak with an attorney as soon as he was brought in to the interrogation room, which he said "would negate the videotape." He also contends Flowers responded both "Yes and No" when asked if he would waive his right to have an attorney present.
Prosecutors declined to comment on the case, which is set to continue Monday at the Nassau County Court in Mineola.
If convicted, Flowers could face up to life behind bars.

ZF-93: Multiple Commit in Index - Search returns no result (reported by tom (at) rtl (dot) lu)
Due to the fact, that creating an index and doing a commit at the end, is not working due to exaust of memory, I am commiting the index after each first word letter, so I have now a folder containing _0.cfs to _z.cfs & deletable & segments.
Now trying to do a search is always returning no result. a print_r of the Zend_Search_Lucene object returns certain stuff, which assumes that it is only using the first (_0.cfs) file:
[_fileHandlers:private] => Array
[segments] => Zend_Search_Lucene_Storage_File_Filesystem Object
[_fileHandle:private] => Resource id #56
[_0.cfs] => Zend_Search_Lucene_Storage_File_Filesystem Object
[_fileHandle:private] => Resource id #57
[_segFiles:private] => Array
[_0.fdx] => 106 [_0.fdt] => 130 [_0.fnm] => 618 [_0.tis] => 742 [_0.tii] => 1689 [_0.frq] => 1717 [_0.prx] => 1838
Trying to open the index with the Luke Java Application reports "No sub-file with id _0.f2 found". But trying to open an index directory which works (with a single commit) reports the error : "No sub-file with id _0.f1" found.
This index is working and there are the following files in it: _0.cfs deletable segments
It's the same problem as ZF-91.
Index has several segments, but only first is listed in a 'segments' file
fixed in SVN early. Changeset [412]
Fixed and tested

College Hockey:Manhattanville faces NCAA sanctions for financial aid violations
According to a report on NCAA.org, Manhattanville faces penalties for failing to monitor its financial aid process, which led to student-athletes receiving more financial aid awards than the general student population.
Penalties in this case include two years of probation from Aug. 7, 2012 through Aug. 6, 2014.
During the 2009-10 academic year, the report states international student-athletes received an average of $8,538 more in financial aid packages than non-student-athletes. Men's hockey players received an average of $1,730 more than other student-athletes and $9,671 more than non-student-athletes.
Other penalties include public reprimand and censure, attendance at an NCAA Regional Rules Seminar by the vice president of enrollment management, the director of financial aid, the athletics compliance officer and the director of athletics during the probationary period (self-imposed by the college and request of a Level Two review from the NCAA Committee on Financial Aid during both years of the probationary period.

Feb 22, 2008 2:01 PM
Being too modern in the bedroom can become a problem, as finding a decor that's warm as well is sometimes difficult. This Anthology Spice Comforter ($29-$179) set from Linens'n Things solves that problem in a hurry with it's quilted, warm toned comforter and matching shams and bedskirt. Be sure to also check out the matching sheet set, pillowcases and accenting items also available.
I am interested in the Anthology Spice Comforter Set and cannot get to the website to buy. Can you please advise.
Sharon James
Hi Sharon - We posted this comforter set back in February 2008, and it looks like it's not made by the company any longer, nor does Linens 'N Things sell the Anthology brand. We did find the Anthology brand at a few other stores, here: http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=anthology+bedding&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=hxXPS5DPIJS0sgPV5b2vDg&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCAQrQQwAA
Hope this helps!
Really liked this one as well.. Tried the other web site. Have been searching all over internet no one seems to have it. If anyone has luck let me know!!!
I want this comforter set and frustrated at being unable to locate it. Why is it posted still on this site, if it is unavailable?
I agree. Its very frustrating that I am not able to locate this set.
I have tried everywhere and am so frustrated because I really like this one.

TUCSON, Ariz. - Luke Walton had 26 points and 10 rebounds as No. 11 Arizona took sole possession of first place in the Pac-10 by beating Washington State 85-68 on Saturday night.
The Wildcats (17-6, 10-3) got the edge they needed when California knocked Oregon out of what had been a first-place tie with a double-overtime victory.
Salim Stoudamire had 17 points and Rick Anderson 11 for the Wildcats, who won their fourth straight and 34th in a row over the Cougars (5-16, 1-12). Washington State hasn't beaten Arizona since Jan. 30, 1986, when it won by two points in overtime.
Mike Bush had 23 points and seven rebounds for the Cougars. J Locklier had 13 points - all in the second half - and 12 rebounds, and Marcus Moore had 12 points.
The Wildcats led by 21 points at halftime and maintained double-digit leads throughout the second half.
The Cougars got within 11 points twice - at 47-36 on the first two putbacks by Milton Riley in a 24-second span. But Walton and Anderson answered each basket by Riley with 3-pointers - Anderson's boosting the Wildcats to a 55-40 lead with 14:19 remaining - and Washington State was on the way to its 14th loss in 15 games.
Bush, who had a double-double when the Wildcats won 92-85 in Pullman, Wash., on Jan. 10, scored his team's first 11 points, sending the Cougars to an 11-6 lead with a 3-pointer 4:33 into the game.
But Arizona went on a 19-4 run in the next seven minutes, taking a 25-15 lead on Stoudamire's first basket, a 3-pointer with 8:31 to go.
After a few minutes of even play, the Wildcats broke it open with another run.
Stoudamire sank two more 3-pointers, another basket and two free throws as Arizona outscored the Cougars 17-2 in the final 4:15 of the first half, going ahead 44-23.
He and Walton each had 13 points at halftime.

A Girl Scout cookie sales record has been topped by Katie Francis, a Girl Scout from Oklahoma City. Katie Francis has sold an incredible 18,107 boxes of the Girl Scout cookies, according to a Reuters report presented by Yahoo! News on Monday.
Eleven-year-old Katie Francis says that there are three ingredients to selling the Girl Scout cookies. It takes a lot of time, lots of commitment, and asking everybody she sees.
The previous record of selling 18,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies was set in the almost 20 years ago by Elizabeth Brinton. Scout Francis has a goal of selling at least 20,000 by the end of March, just a week away. She said in an interview that she will do a song and dance if it will help her sales pitch to sell the cookies.
Ms. Francis said she topped the Oklahoma state record the past two years, and she thought it just seemed like the national record was next on her list of things to accomplish.
The Girl Scouts sell cookies to finance troop activities – and have been doing so for approximately a century now.

We (my sister, mom, and I) weren't expecting to adopt a dog anytime soon, not to mention two dogs! Until we met our mini schnauzers, Bailee and Daisy.
We were always a happy family us three, and after we moved into a home of our own things got a bit lonely. My sister and I went away often with our dad and my mother was left alone.
My sister and I have always wanted a dog and when our little Fancy Rat, Hailey died we thought it was the perfect time to adopt a little puppy. My mother was hesitant at first but while me and my sister were away, Mami started looking around.
And then it happened! We found the best (and cutest) dogs in the whole world. Mami quickly sent in an application and before we knew it, on September 8th we were in a Maryland parking lot getting lots of love by our two cuties.
We are so glad we rescued them! Considering they're old parents lost their home and they're job, we gave them a better place to stay and better love then any little crate.
Thank you Petfinder for making our families dreams come true!

Tri-State Championship Wrestling celebrated their first anniversary on Saturday with a show that made several statements, among them that TCW will be around for some time to come, that old school wrestling can still draw a sell-out crowd and that the Rock & Roll Express can still "bring it" in the ring.
A standing room only crowd at the Riceville Community Center in Asheville, NC were very receptive and responsive all night for a show that was solid and entertaining.
"I love TCW," one fan said. "They bring good wrestling and it's a lot of fun plus I got to see The Rock & Roll Express, my heroes."
Promoter Tim Tolar is proud of his eclectic group of wrestlers and rightfully so saying "the people come out here to see them (the wrestlers) and it's because of them (the fans) that we are still here."
Former wrestler Scotty Black plays a dual role for TCW as both the ring announcer and working backstage helping with the matches, making sure everyone knows when they are to go on and how "hot" the crowd is. As ring announcer Black often makes fun of the wrestlers the fans love to hate which would normally see any normal ring announcer get knocked out (and rightfully so) but with Black being a former wrestler and still popular with the fans, it works.
The Rock & Roll Express, subject of a documentary project by filmmaker Michael Elliot, showed they can still work circles around a lot of today's talent in the ring and that they are still as popular with the fans as they ever were.
As part of the main event with Chrisifix against Abel Adams/Joshua Cutshall/Exodus the Rock & Roll Express had the crowd on their feet. Former wrestler and A&E television star Ric Savage, making a special appearance on the show, ran in and hit a brutal sidewalk slam on Adams to help Chrisifix and the Rock & Roll Express get the victory.
Although the show was a solid venture one match stood out as an almost "one of these things is not like the others" portion of the show. David Lee Rock and Micky Richards did not mesh well in the ring and it showed with a number of mistakes and missed or blown "spots" and the match took the wind out of the crowd but only briefly as The Grimwells, one of the most popular "hillbilly" groups in North Carolina came out and the crowd quickly forgot the Rock and Richards match.
Though The Grimwells would end up losing to the Army of Darkness the fans were solidly behind them which seems to be the case wherever they go.
TCW will be expanding to Fairview, NC starting on February 15, 2015 at the Fairview Community Center. TCW will now be in Riceville the first Saturday of every month and in Fairview the third Saturday of every month. You can keep up with all things TCW by visiting them here.
Other matches included Tracer X becoming the new TCW Light Heavyweight Champion by beating newcomer Jeremy Foster and champion Ryan Conn in a three-way match. TJ Kincaid/Superlaw defeated A.D.D. by DQ, JR Reynolds defeated Ryan Hunter by questionable means in a match that would see Reynolds have to leave TCW forever had he lost. By virtue of having defeated Hunter, Reynolds is now locked into a "lifetime contract" with TCW.

Now that Anna and Felty Helmund's thirteen children are all grown and married they have time for other activities, like matchmaking! Anna decides to start with their grandson Moses and invites Lia Shelter to live with them for the summer. But Moses has given his heart to Barbara who has left their Amish community for the world, promising to return someday.
Lia does not think anyone will ever want to marry her, she is very tall, has an ugly scared hand, and her sister Rachel is very beautiful. Does God have other plans in store for them? Find out in Huckleberry Hill book one of "The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill" series by Jennifer Beckstrand.
I really enjoyed this book but it took a while for me to get into the story. The beginning was a little slow, and for a while I thought it would have been more effective if it had been told in a shorter amount of time. By the time I reached the end though I realized the buildup was important to the ending, making it even more powerful.
The story reminded me a bit of the Biblical story of Jacob, Leah and Rachel. (Though not because of the names) Many of the characteristics of each of these biblical characters can be found in these characters, although Rachel is a bit more like Leah and Lia Rachel. They are not completely comparable, but there are some similarities.
The characters are truly what make this book interesting for me. Anna and Felty are sweet and funny and I am looking forward to the rest of the series. Lia is wonderful, I enjoyed seeing her grow as a person, though she annoyed me a few times as she was growing. Moses is one of the kindest characters I have ever read though I did get frustrated with him at times as he sorted out his feelings.
Not looking at someone's outward appearance is a major theme in this book. Lia has written off marriage because of her outward appearance, but Moses does not understand why she feels this way because of how she is on the inside.
On the whole this is an enjoyable book especially once you get further into it. I give it four and a half out of five stars.
If there is a book you would like me to review, please write it in the Comments.
Soli Deo Gloria!

When Gord and I were at East Humber Bay Park this afternoon, we practiced what we've been learning in our photo course.
This week's homework ... you have to take photos that clearly show the concept of either freezing motion or shallow depth of field. Use the priority mode that will help you achieve the results.
We only had to do one set but I did four sets to practice.
Here I used aperture priority ... these show the difference in depth of field (the background blurs when I change the aperture).

The Wedding Album of Jill Elizabeth Daum and Noal Talbot Bastian, October 13, 2012, in Gordonsville, VA.
Jan has enjoyed photography since having a darkroom in the cellar as a teen, and was among the first to jump on the digital image bandwagon, with a wonderful Epson Photo PC, followed by the cult classic Olympus Camedia C2100 Ultra-Zoom, and more recent wonderful cameras. Jan has sold her photos in an array of formats at craft shows and in art shops. To support her photography habit, her 4 kids and other various hobbies such as gardening, cooking, knitting, sewing, crafts, hiking, biking, pets, and more pets, Jan also found rewarding work as a science professor and in related professional pursuits.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar has a bright future and is not holding a grudge after being shut out at the 56th annual Grammy Awards this past Sunday night, even after losing in the best rap album category to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. In an interview with XXL magazine on Jan. 29, the rising rap star gave Macklemore some props for the Grammy win.
The seven-time Grammy nominee took the high road even after Macklmore himself tweeted publicly that he felt Lamar should've won. He told XXL magazine:
It's well-deserved. He did what he did, man. He went out there and hustled and grinded. Everything happens for a reason. The universe comes back around. That's how it go."
Lamar definitely feels that his time will come, but the moment just belonged to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who took home four trophies in the rap categories, which angered some in the hip-hop community.
But Lamar did make the most of the Grammy spotlight when given the opportunity. His performance with Imagine Dragons is still creating buzz, but he feels the Grammys undervalued hip-hop with the lack of rappers performing that night.
I definitely feel like they should always have more of the culture up in there, for sure, because we definitely stand out just like any other genre. We part of the world. We part of the movement. So I think any awards, including the Grammys, should always push for more hip-hop because it's music as well."
And its that music that brings people together. Although Lamar didn't win a Grammy, he left the night knowing that he was a winner, because he represented his genre by delivering one of the best performances of the night.

In this topic area -- as in all the ALE Wiki topic areas -- you are invited to add your own thoughts. To do so:
1. Register (if you haven't yet, it takes under a minute) by going to: http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Main_Page
2. Select the "edit" tab at the top of the page where you want to add to or change text. This will bring you "under the hood" of the page you are on, where you can add or change text. If you see some code next to the text that is there, ignore it. Just type in your text at the bottom of the page. Scroll down using the blue, vertical slider. You could also put your text in where you think it is supposed to go. If you get it wrong, don't worry. You can change it, or someone else will. In other words, you can learn how to add text to the wiki -- with formatting and in the right place -- or, if you don't have the time or patience for this, just add text at the bottom of the page. The topic area leader or ALE Wiki organizer will make the adjustments for you.
3. Select the "Show preview" button at the bottom of the edit page to see the changes. If they look good, scroll to the bottom and select "Save page". You can make changes before you save the page. You can select "Show preview" and make changes as many times as you want before you "Save page". You can even make changes after you "Save page."
4. Add your name and maybe your email address after your comments so readers can contact you.
5. Consider adding a brief bio to the WhosHere page
Most important to know: there is no way you can mess things up. Even if you accidentally erase a page it can easily be restored. So, don't worry. Give it a try.
Questions about Classrooms and Research
- Are there any recommendations for best practices on adult education class sizes?
- Is there research on optimum learning groups size for basic literacy students?
- How much consideration is given to the instructors who must provide instructions for all levels of learners? How much consideration is given to the instructor who is only paid for 2.5 hours two days a week (5 hrs) yet must do all the assessment, interpretations, provide multi-level instruction and prepare all reports/records? We do not have a lot of the luxuries being presented in this and other courses.luxury
