"Bruno Mars" and the "Red Hot Chili Peppers" performed at this year's 2014 Pepsi Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show in New Jersey.
The "Red Hot Chili Peppers" attended a pre-bash Super Bowl party at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. before the big game, according to Newsday reports on Feb. 2.
The "Locked Out of Heaven" singers began with the sounds of children before firing up the stage with their fancy footwork followed by a duet with lead singer, Anthony Kiedis along with his entourage, to sing, "Give It Away."
The performance included dedications to the U.S. Armed Forces, ending with their serenade, "Just the Way You Are."
Bruno Mars sang "Treasure" and "Runaway Baby" with a "hint of old James Brown on stage," one of the commentators exclaimed.
This year's Super Bowl XLVIII took place at the MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex located in East Rutherford, N.J.
The Denver Broncos played against the Seattle Seahawks – at halftime the score was Seahawks 29 with Broncos 0 – during light rain with a mild temperature of 49 degrees.
The polar vortex that created freezing temperatures last week was initially a concern as to whether this year's game would cause health issues for the players; tonight's game went off smoothly to the delight of fans.

College Hockey:Huskies Take Advantage Of Chances, Top Chargers
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Friday night, Connecticut junior forward Beau McLaughin equaled his goal total from all of last season, scoring twice in the Huskies' 4-1 win over homestanding Alabama-Huntsville.
Charger assistant Lance West was clear in pre-game interviews: the weakness of the Chargers was going to be with their young defense, where only juniors Doug Watkins and Ryan Brown have seen significant time paired up on the blueline.
Sure enough, the Huskies converted three defensive turnovers into goals past a helpless Scott Munroe, who made 15 saves on 19 shots.
The Huskies scored two goals in the first due to solid play in the neutral zone and winning pucks off the wall and in the corners. Alan Stevenson opened the scoring at 13:51 of the first and was followed five minutes later by McLaughin's first tally of the night.
Charger captain Steve Milosevski brought UAH within one with the team's first goal of the season, hammering a rebound of a Bruce Mulherin shot past Husky netminder Scott Tomes, who saved the other 36 shots he faced.
McLaughin answered Milosevski's goal before the crowd had an opportunity to quiet down, winning the faceoff and moving quickly down the ice, picking up a defensive turnover in the slot and pushing it past Munroe.
Tempers flared in the second with a couple big hits for each side, including a Husky running into Munroe as the tender wrapped a puck behind the net for a defenseman. The quick goals to open the third amplified those tempers, and Husky forward Eric St. Arnauld received a major penalty and a game misconduct for hitting freshman forward Brett McConnachie from behind into the boards.
McConnachie remained motionless on the ice for two minutes before being helped to his feet and skating on the next shift.
The Chargers fought back valiantly on the offensive end, but Tomes, a freshman from Windham, N.H., stood tall in net. Tomes received a last bit of help with less than two minutes left, as fellow freshman Trevor Stewart picked up an ill-advised pass and fired the puck home for the Huskies' fourth goal.
The two teams match up again Saturday at 7:05 Central time at the Von Braun Center. Connecticut raises its record to 1-1-1, while the Chargers drop to 0-1-0.

I have an idea but im not sure whether it is possible and looking for advice on how to accomplish this.
If i was to try and deploy Windows XP Sysprepped image from a Lenovo Thinkcentre 6073-CTO and tried to drop it onto a Dell Optiplex for instance I would get a BSOD due to the hardware change.
What im looking to do is create a few images like so:
- Windows XP x86 SP3 (Sysprepped)
- Windows XP x64 SP3 (Sysprepped)
So that we can use throughout the organization without having to create individual images per computer type.
Is there anyway's to accomplish this such as some modification of files pre-ghost, removal a certain drivers pre-sysprep
Any advice is appreciated.

When creating managed beans ...
By Frank Nimphius-Oracle on Oct 31, 2010
You wont recognize the absence of Serializable before running your application in a fail over environment.
As it fits into this context: Note that managed beans can inherit from a parent. So you may want to design a base managed bean class that contains helper functions you often need and that also implements Serializable. Then, with a little change to your coding guidelines, that managed beans must extend the base bean, you ensure your application's managed beans are always serializable.
Note that under the Tools | Preferences | Audit | Profiles entry, Oracle JDeveloper has an audit rule to find managed beans that are not serializable

Iphone plagued by Rick Astley
Not Celine Dion though
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL phone in the world is being plagued by a bad case of the Rick Astleys.
A fairly basic hack of the gadget has been carried out twice now. The first hack came from a Dutch bloke who told Apple fanbois to send him €5 "or else he would continue to annoy them", but the latest is probably the cruellest.
Reports claim that there is a a worm that replaces the phone's default wallpaper with a picture of Rick Astley, the British pop singer whose song "Never Gonna Give You Up" as been an inspiration. We are not sure for what, but we are certain it is not nice.
The photo is accompanied by the message "ikee is never gonna give you up" and the antivirus outfit Sophos tells us that it is quite difficult to remove.
Of course those infected deserve to be hacked. They have taken the perfected software of the great god Steve Jobs and installed jailbreaking software. This software allows people to use the Jesus phone on networks unblessed by Steve and therefore removes them from his divine protection and into hacking hell.
The virus only spreads by searching an infected phone's contacts to find other jailbroken Iphone users who have installed the Unix software SSH (secure shell) but haven't yet changed their passwords from Apple's default root password. For the record, Apple's default password on the Iphone is currently "alpine".
Sophos says that it hasn't heard of any occurrences of the worm outside Australia, and that while it doesn't appear to do anything worse than irritate users, it highlights the problems that those who disobey the word of Steve Jobs face with basic living.
For it is written that they who shall disobey Steve shall be cast into a world that is grey and Dell like and then be forced to buy software from Microsoft. There shall they gnash their teeth and hear Coldplay on their Ipod not.
The more cynical in the world might even suggest that Apple might have a vested interest in releasing such viruses into the wild to keep the faithful in check. Of course that would be stupid, and anyway everyone knows only Microsoft products have viruses and worms.
Still it could have been a lot worse. The virus has only been seen in Australia, and it could have come packed with a Celine Dion wallpaper and ringtone.
Then the world as we know it would have ended. µ

Hearty Cabbage Patch Stew RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 16 19
Our family loves this hearty stew. I like to serve steaming helping in old-fashioned soup plates with thick crusty slices of homemade bread. To get the 11 cups of chopped cabbage for this stew, you'll need to start with a small head of cabbage, about 2 to 2-1/2 pounds. Or for quicker prep, substitute coleslaw mix from the produce department.—Karen Ann Bland, Gove, Kansas
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 11 cups coarsely chopped cabbage (about 2 pounds)
- 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese, optional
- In a large skillet, cook the beef, onions and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
- Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the cabbage, stewed tomatoes, beans, diced tomatoes, ketchup, chili powder, oregano, pepper and salt. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until cabbage is tender.
- Serve with sour cream and cheese if desired. Yield: 8 servings (2 quarts).

I had to make it with less cabbage (about a pound) and only one can of stewed tomatoes because my slow cooker was getting too full. Oh- and I forgot to add the ketchup!

Red Meat and Processed Meats Are Bad News
Red meat and processed meats contain more saturated fat and trans fat than other animal products, and, therefore, are poorer food choices. However, the fat issue does not tell the whole story. Scientific studies have documented that red meat has a much more pronounced association with colon cancer and pancreatic cancer compared with other animal products. The consumption of red meat and processed meats on a regular basis more than doubles the risk of some cancers. Even ingesting a small amount of red meat, such as two to three ounces a day, has been shown to significantly increase the risk of cancer.1 Toxic nitrogenous compounds (called N-nitroso) occur in larger concentrations in red meat and processed meats. Red meat also has high haem (also spelled heme) content. Haem is an iron-carrying protein, and it has been shown to have destructive effects on the cells lining our digestive tract.2 Processed meat, luncheon meat, barbequed meat, and red meat must not be a regular part of your diet if you are looking to maintain excellent health into your later years of life.
The frequent consumption of animal products also increases the risk of cancer. To achieve optimal health, we require a significant exposure to a full symphony of phytochemicals in unprocessed plant matter that we would not be eating sufficiently as animal products increase as a percent of total calories and the percentage of vegetation decreases proportionally. Also, since animal products contain no fiber, they remain in the digestive tract longer, slowing digestive transit time and allowing heightened exposure to toxic compounds.
Your goal is to gradually reduce the consumption of animal products in your diet until you're only consuming them two to three times per week, but you should certainly avoid processed meat and barbecued meat.

Glee just wrapped up its 5th season, and the ratings of the show have definitely seen better days. Most season finales cause the ratings of the show to go up, but unfortunately not in this case. The shows finale, "The Untitled Rachel Berry Project," was watched by a not so impressive 1.9 million viewers. In this episode Rachel's dream of being on TV comes true when a network picks up a script for a pilot episode that is primarily about Rachel's life. The episode ends with the gang talking about how they once again be going their separate ways as they all venture out into new life territory.
So what is Glee to do to get those ratings up for their 6th and final season? Maybe they will head back to Ohio to check on Mr. Shue, Sue Sylvester and the rest of the newbie glee club. We may not be sure about the plot and how these characters lives will unfold in front of us but if the rumors are true we won't be hearing these angelic voices until 2015. FOX chairman Kevin Reilly said earlier this week," The advantage of having it on later in the season is we don't have to feel the pressure of delivering."

UPDATED: In May, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the EPA has the constitutional authority to establish and enforce air pollution standards for coal power plants. On Monday the U.S. Environmental Protection [EPA} Agency proposed a Clean Power Plan [CPP] that President Obama says will maintain an affordable, reliable energy system, while cutting pollution and protecting our health and environment.
The CPP is advertised as a flexible proposal to ensure a healthier environment, spur innovation and strengthen the economy. At the direction of President Obama, and after an unprecedented outreach effort, the U.S. EPA released the plan, which "for the first time cuts carbon pollution from existing power plants, the single largest source of carbon pollution in the United States."
"Climate change, fueled by carbon pollution, supercharges risks to our health, our economy, and our way of life," the White House said in information sent to the White House press corps. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said the EPA is delivering on a vital piece of President Obama's Climate Action Plan by proposing a Clean Power Plan that will cut harmful carbon pollution from our largest source--power plants. By leveraging cleaner energy sources and cutting energy waste," McCarthy said in a media release, this plan will clean the air we breathe while helping slow climate change so we can leave a safe and healthy future for our kids. "We don't have to choose between a healthy economy and a healthy environment--our action will sharpen America's competitive edge, spur innovation, and create jobs."
The CPP bypasses Congress, which has been antagonistic to nearly all White House policies since Republicans gained control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010. New regulations will force more than 600 existing coal-fired power plants, the single largest source of greenhouse gas emission in the country, to reduce their carbon pollution 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030.
Across the nation power plants account for roughly one-third of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. And while there are limits in place for the level of arsenic, mercury, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particle pollution that power plants can emit, there are currently no national limits on carbon pollution levels. The CPP calls for a 30-percent reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 2030, relative to 2005. Experts on both sides of the carbon-pollution issue say the CPP represents one of the most significant steps the federal government has ever taken to curb the nation's greenhouse gas emissions
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell joined the White House today on the announcement, saying President Obama understands the moral obligation to future generations to leave the nation's land, water, and wildlife better off than otherwise would be the case if power generators, who have burned coal for scores of years, are permitted to continue to produce electricity by burning coal.
"From standing up homegrown renewable energy and transmission infrastructure, to reducing methane emissions while supporting safe and responsible energy development, to making lands and waters more resilient in the face of climate change," Jewell said DOI is "committed to being a strong partner in cutting carbon pollution and creating American jobs."
Common sense steps, like the ones contained the president's CPP, will be undertaken by the EPA, while providing states with the flexibility they need to make informed decisions about the mix of energy sources that works best for them.
The National Association of Manufacturers was among the critics of the plan today, arguing it will hurt American competitiveness. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce warned last week that CPP's rules could cost consumers $289 billion more for electricity through 2030 and crimp the economy by $50 billion a year, according to Reuters.com.
For states like Ohio where coal burning electric generation plants have been in operation for a long time and fear how its rollout will impact coal mining jobs, the plan won't be appreciated, and could run into state headwinds as state EPA administrators follow the tune directed by Republican governors like John Kasich, which likely won't be helpful if how state officials reacted to the Affordable Care Act is any measure of their willingness to help implement national policies from the Obama White House. States will be given flexibility in areas including improving power plant heat rates, using more natural gas plants to replace coal plants, ramping up zero-carbon energy efforts like solar and windpower while increasing energy efficiency.
But it's hard to image Gov. Kasich, running for reelection this year, directing Ohio's EPA to be a positive partner with U.S. EPA, since that course of action would run contrary to Kasich's story that Ohio would be doing better if Washington headwinds weren't keeping him and his pet project, JobsOhio, the state's private job creation agency, from creating more jobs.
Earlier this year, Scott Nally, the man Gov. Kasich originally picked to run OEPA, resigned suddenly. Rumors circulated that Nally had not been as friendly to Ohio coal companies as he might have been. It took more than a month, but in late February Gov. Kasich appointed Craig W. Butler as director of the OEPA. Butler has served as interim director of the Agency since Nally left in early January. He previously served as the Assistant Policy Director for Energy, Agriculture and the Environment for the Kasich Administration.
Following today's announcement, CGE asked a spokesman for Gov. Kasich Does is this is just more "headwinds" from Washington? And does Gov. Kasich buy into the claims by the U.S. Chamber and others on possible future job losses and damage to the economy? More importantly, will the Ohio EPA be helpful, indifferent or harmful to the CPP?
The plan comes at a time when Gov. Kasich is expected to sign a bill passed by a supermajority of GOP House and Senate members that would freeze Ohio's renewable energy standards, established under former Gov. Ted Strickland, for two years, allowing a legislative study committee to evaluate the program's progress to date. It is hard to image that a study committee dominated by Republicans would after two years decide to retain or expand the renewable energy portfolio.
The Ohio EPA did not respond in time to a request by CGE to include a statement on behalf of the Kasich Administration for this publication to President Obama's proposal plan today. Later in the day, though, OEPA did send this statement via Christopher Abbruzzese, an agency spokesman. "We need to fully understand how exactly this proposal impacts Ohio. We are, of course, concerned with anything that could hurt Ohio's economy at a time when we are just beginning to get back on track," Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler said.
The news coverage today will obviously focus on smokestack states like Ohio, where plant emissions start and drift with the winds to eastern states, where they have been shown to fall as acid-rain, among other hazards to people that cause health problems. President Obama said people's health won't be as bad in the future. "In just the first year that these standards go into effect, up to 100,000 asthma attacks and 2,100 heart attacks will be avoided," the president said in his weekly address, adding, "those numbers will go up from there." The immediate health benefits that regulators are forecasting, however, have little to do with lowering carbon emissions that contribute to global warming. The White House narrative is that smog-forming emissions and soot, that drift eastward to other states, will be mitigated over time if these rules are followed.

Interview with Rob Vandenberg of Lingotek
VSM: What is cloud based translation management and why use it?
RV: Translation management is a single system for translation, editing, review, and communicating with translators. Complete with professional tools like translation workbenches, multiple translation workflows, translation memories, style guides and terminology management. These cloud-based tools enable companies to effectively translate and localize information across a multitude of geographies, regions, cultures and languages. When content is translated in a translation management tool they can capture, reuse and recycle their translation content. Businesses are then globally empowered to penetrate new markets, grow globally and acquire a bevy of previously untapped new customers.
VSM: Why would a company want to choose between different kinds of translation – machine translation, crowd/community translation or professional?
RV: Traditional translation methods are slow and expensive. Translated content can take 4-6 weeks to translate and cost around $.23 a word. A content owner should categorize how particular content needs to be translated by its relative value. So important content is handled by professional translators, moderately important content is handled by your crowd/community and less important content can be handled by machine translation and translation memories. This ensures the maximum amount of cost savings based on the value of the content you want to translate.
VSM: How is crowdsourcing playing an integral role in the translation landscape?
RV: With social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and others on the horizon, it's evident that social media has empowered individuals to access, publish, and consume information 24 hours a day. In order to keep up with the information flow, companies are tapping into crowdsourcing communities and have evolved in their abilities to rapidly deploy content and information. By activating and engaging with these types of communities, corporations grow, engage and foster their communities. This forms a symbiotic relationship--businesses tap communities for growth and in return communities grow themselves.
VSM: What is information poverty?
RV: Information poverty is the inability for individuals in many societies to access basic information to improve their quality of life. Let's say I had access to the Internet but when I logged on, English was not a language option. Clearly this would hinder my ability to seek out information and products through web channels. When these technological barriers prevent individuals from accessing information in their localized languages, they lose opportunity to access the same knowledge and opportunities as those who have access in their own language.

They will email you a signature release form to sign and send back if you are unable to meet them. September 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mawg Just LOVE this table!!!! I purchased this table and four chairs on sale two years ago when I moved into my little Craftsman home---needed a table for a small dining room and this fits perfectly. The construction of the table is incredible and it's heavy so it's not going anywhere. And the style fits right in with the character of my home. Shortly after I purchased it I had a family dinner and managed to seat 10 people around the table with 2 at each end---tight but do-able---and there was still room for serving dishes in the center. I wanted to be able to use the table without worrying about damage to the finish and without needing to use placemats, tablecloths, etc. so shortly after I got it I refinished the top and gave it a few coats of varathane. It's been a workhorse---dining, computer workspace, sewing cutting table---and it looks as good as the day I bought it. I get lots of compliments on it and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ChrisB Stunningly Beautiful!!! I bought this table online without having seen it in person because I just really liked the design. It was delivered in less than the estimated delivery time. It was packaged very well to protect it during shipping. The quality is amazing and the wood is stunningly beautiful with a very rich look to it. I purchased the chairs and bench in the store and one of the chair seat backs was broken and the store exchanged it without any issues. All of the items are high-quality and very sturdy. Assembly was simple enough I could do it myself. I just needed assistance with the table because it's almost 200 lbs. I am SO very pleased with this purchase and got a great deal on it at 50% off the regular price. The only downfall was having to order table online and then go to three different stores to purchase four chairs and one bench. Customer service from store employees was outstanding in helping me find where the pieces were located that I needed and held them for me. September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mateo Beautiful and durable Beautiful table that is well constructed and easy to put together. We've had one for 7 years that we just gave to newly married kids, and we liked it so much that we bought another one. Benches and chairs are great as well. Would buy again. September 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Afghanlover I guess I got lucky in getting one After seeing the ad/flyer in Sunday paper decided to go for it....I looked online first & read good reviews. Wasn't available online & I didn't want to pay shipping surcharge of $100 which was almost half the cost of the table at 50% off. Anyway, I called my local store which online stated they did not have it available. Clerk said they had 2 coming in & one was spoken for, she said she would put me down for the other one. She called about 4 days later said it was in & I went & picked it up...great service by the local store! The table is very heavy, top comes in one piece & legs come in another box. Put it together with 3 of us as it was hard to maneuver being so heavy. The only problem; one of the holes for a bolt was not aligned correctly so had to fix that. The table looks great & goes with my chairs (didn't buy bench or matching chairs). This table should last a long time & is very heavy duty. September 8, 2014

Watching the Grammys red carpet — with my eyes peeled for Snooki, whose stylist borrowed my swear rings — I was reminded that I went to the Grammys in 2003, when they were held at Madison Square Garden. I wore a very tight unlabeled vintage dress that might have been by Giorgio di Sant' Angelo. Or not.
The shoes are ones my mother gave me. She bought them in Las Vegas in the '80s and only wore them once after someone teased her about the rhinestones on the heels. I still have the shoes. I still have the dress too, but I got it dry-cleaned at some craptacular place and it came back even tighter than it was. I've been scared to try it on.
Naturally, I still have the t-shirt I got that night.
One thing I no longer have is my short 2003 hair.
My eye makeup was a little drag-queeny, but I like it. Speaking of dressing in drag, or at least not like oneself, I was intrigued to see a red-hooded Lady Gaga hit the red carpet tonight with a fellow dressed like the Pope. Then I was horrified to see that Gaga was wearing blackface. Finally, I realized it was not a too-tan Gaga but Nicki Minaj. What a relief! While I adore Nicki, I think this is a sign she should go in a different style direction. Passing for Lady Gaga in racist makeup is not the look.
Anyway, back to 2003 — that was the year that Norah Jones swept the Grammys, snagging five awards. I've got nothing against Norah Jones. I enjoyed her when I saw her perform at Cyndi Lauper's benefit concert at the Beacon Theatre in December. Beautiful voice. But in 2003, her Come Away With Me took Album of the Year over Home by the Dixie Chicks; The Eminem Show by Eminem; Nellyville by Nelly; and The Rising by Bruce Springsteen. Give me a break, y'all!

You went to the freakin' Grammys??? So jealous! And I love that outfit. I can totally understand why you'd be scared to try it on now. That thing is FORM fitting! 🙂 PS: Something tells me you'd still fit into it and look fantastic. Bitch.
Those pictures of Nicki are kind of scary but I love the Pope date outfit.
I forgot to say that your makeup reminds me of Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange. And I love the tight dress and your Mom's shoes. What a shame that someone teased her about the rhinestones!
I lurrrrve this dress of yours. It's total bombshell. Rawr.
Vintage all the way! Couldn't be more glamorous.
It is pretty awesome that Snooki borrowed your rings. I hope you get pictures if she wore them.
I love that dress and shoes – and I really like your 2003 hair. Very Liza Minelli. 🙂
What a stunning dress, and so awesome you got to go to the Grammys! I like your shorter hair here — kind of reminds me of actress Lana Parilla's hair.
OMG! That is a gorgeous dress and you wore it so well! You look lovely!
I think you look stunningly beautiful!! Doesn't look like drag makeup to me. Beautiful darling absolutley beautiful.
Wowza! That is one hot outfit! Maybe you can have a panel added to makeup for the shrinkage? Such a shame to let it languish!
It is almost shameful how excited I am about the thought of Snooki with swear rings.
Love that you wore vintage and WENDY! You still have the t-shirt! You are hilarious!
Oh Nicki… that performance was too chaotic. Did she even really sing? It looked like a bit of yelping over the pre-recorded vocals. Sigh.
You said it all about Minaj. I love her guts, but . . . .
You look brillo in this dress and shoes, I really admire your decolletage! Wish I had some of my owns.
Looking good, writing good. Way to go WendyB, now and 2003!

JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 29 December 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18441229-JWC-JW-01; CL 18: 305-306
Sunday [29 December 1844]
Oh Babbie! my dear Babbie! I am thoroughly ashamed of myself— —Carlyle put my letter of yesterday in the post office on his way to the Bank— On his return from that august place he proceeded to pull out your pocketbook full of notes—and while counting them, said to me, "You told Jeanie how much I was pleased with her gift? it is really very pretty and convenient—poor little Babbie! it was very kind of her to take so much trouble for her Parent"!— My whole answer was "Oh mercy"! "Mercy What" said he—"Why I did not say a single word about the pocketbook"!— "That was certainly a most extraordinary piece of negligence" said he with such a grave look!— "Will you take THE TROUBLE to thank her for it now then by the very next post"— —I was vexed enough at myself without his being cross about it— —the fact was, not only the pocket-book but the man had entirely got themselves crushed out of my head by the confusion I was in yesterday—confusion of soul I mean—to be sure ones soul ought to be above its circumstances ought to keep calm—whatever else—well I made amends by being very calm last night or rather this morning under circumstances of the most astounding nature— About one in the morning not having been yet asleep and being as is common with me just now extremely fidgety I gave my large square pan of hot-water a peevish push with my foot, which sent it right over the bed!—where by the sound it gave in falling I knew that it had broken in pieces—and all the hot water flooding my carpet!—perhaps penetrating the parlour ceiling! and having turned into ink in the process (as had once before happened to me) dripping down on my span new brussels carpet beneath! Distraction was in the thought— I sprang over the bed and rang my bell furiously—twice to bring up Helen—who however being in bed did not see any propriety in coming tho' I might have been dying for anything she knew— Carlyle however who was still below, reading, came with "a certain" deliberation—and found me standing in my night clothes with the fragments of crokery and a lake of water at my naked feet— So soon as I had light I got all the towels in the room and flung them down into the lake—and then got down on my knees to soak it up— Carlyle went like a sensible man for his bason and large sponge—and fell to it more effectually with that ordering me into bed—but alas when I turned to go, I found my nightshift all dripping!—had to take another un-aired from the drawer! and after I was in bed found that it had "most mistairously" got wetted also— Carlyle brought me his small bottle—and once more all was quiet—except my heart which went on at a fine rate for hours—
Today of course I have more cold—but not so much as was to have been anticipated— I asked Helen when she came in in the morning if she had not heard the bell, "Oh heard it?" said she "how could she miss hearing it?" And why then did not she come?—"before she had got her clothes on she heard Mr Carlyle go up—so she thought that I had fainted—and since he was there there could be no use for her"!
Cool!—and not over-logical— But she will make up for it by going into fits the next time that I faint in the day time
Mazzini asked the other day if there was any change in Miss Welsh's social position—as in case there was none he would write to her at the new year— —I gave him the address of Auchtertool—not knowing then that you had left1—
And now dear Babbie forgive me all my enormities and believe me ever your
Affectionate Cousin /
Jane Carlyle

How does one define a static route on MacOS X which persists through reboots? The only suggestion I've found on Google advises setting up a launchd service to run at boot, which seems like a horrible hack (does it survive a network restart without rebooting, for instance?)
To set up the route I need temporarily, I can run the following:
route add -net ${network} ${gateway} ${netmask}
How would I make this persist?

Vey convenient with the Strip within walking distance. The staff were very helpful and the resort was nice to return to after a busy day in the city, as it was quiet and easy to sleep at night.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
One block from Las Vegas Blvd (The Strip). A NON smoking apartment style property. We chose a 2 bedroom ( 2 bathroom) with full kitchen, a tv in both bedrooms and in the lounge. Very clean and comfortable. We booked in on arrival and negotiated a price of $US380 for 3 nights.
That is $US63 per couple per night. The property has a great pool, BBQ facilities, fitness centre. Breakfast was included but it was basic. We bought food from the Vons supermarket (on Maryland Parkway) and prepared our own. Would recomend this property.

Historical Traveler Reviews Desert Rose Resort Las Vegas
Nice, especially for the price
Just returned from a weekend trip and after reading all the reveiws I was a bit nervous. But must say that the room was very nice. I had a two-bedroom suite in the third tower. From the bedroom to the kitchen everything was nice. Even the complimentary breakfast was okay and a way to save money. I wouln't agree with any of the other reviews. The hotel is underconstruction, but for the price it is really nice and I recommend it to all.
Much worse than expected
We just got back from our trip out west.
We were looking for a non-gaming hotel because we had our 2 year old with us, we were on an expended trip and Vegas was only one stop on our trip. Many folks DESPISE children in Vegas, so we decided to stay out of the big strip hotels and opt for a quieter non-gaming place.
Good stuff:
location.. close to the strip
parking.. conviently right in front of your room
quiet most of the time (except when the garbage truck comes at 7am or the room next to you is occupied by drunks)
Does have full kitchen and everything seemed to work
Things started off bad.... the locks on our doors had been busted in at some time in the past and we could no longer lock our door from the outside only with the dead bolt. So we changed rooms. This took half a day. Thank goodness we were traveling with others and could store our luggage in their room which had a working lock. In our new ground floor room, the window locks didn't work but we hoped and prayed and stuck it out for 2 more days.
The room was cleanesque... not sparkling but then again.. neither is my house so no big complaints there. Furniture and carpet were a bit worn but oh well... again no biggie.
Warning for those with kids!!! They have 5 TV channels... that is it!! So if your kid needs some cartoons in the morning.. tough luck. There aren't any.
Also the first hotel I have ever been in WITHOUT THE WEATHER CHANNEL!! The humanity!! ;-)
The FREE breakfast was a FEEDING TROUGH. The food was the same everyday. My husband went every morning but I passed after day one. Greazy sausage links, dry eggs... no fruit, no muffins, just fat... I opted for store bought food so no money saved there.
The staff were okay but they were not friendly and were terribly slow. Most looked to be young and wishing they were anywhere but there.
We had expected much more but got much less.
We stayed at 7 hotels on this trip and this was BY FAR THE WORST.
Convenient Location -- But That's All
The only good thing about this place is the location right off the strip. The front desk people were rude and slow. We had a 2 bedroom suite which had a very small bathroom area. It was nice to have a full size fridge and a stove, but 2 burners on the stove did not work. The carpeting (if you can call it that) throughout the suite was horrible. The edges of the carpeting around the walls were disgusting. It looked like it had never been vacuumed or cleaned. You definitely want to keep your shoes on in this place. Getting into the room was a nightmare. It took more than a few frustrating tries to get the door open with those card type keys. I will pay a little more and stay elsewhere next trip.
***Beware*** They commit credit card fraud!!!
I stayed mid-June for 2 weekend nights using my Hyatt points...Check-in took over 20 minutes, w/no apology given...The hallways are absolutely filthy and disgusting...I was in a 1-bdrm suite on 3rd floor...Size was adequate, but all furnishings were cheap...I did not feel comfortable sitting down on the sofa, let alone laying down on the bed...I just felt the need to sanitize everything...The tiny bathroom is old and the floor has never been cleaned...gross...It was depressing...I took a timeshare tour w/Shell Vacations Club, located on the property...The new salesgirl stole my room key while we were in the bathroom the next morning out of spite because I did not purchase a timeshare thru her...I reported her action to her manager, wrote out a complaint form...She's still working there, I'm sure w/o even a reprimand...I also reported my stolen room key to the front desk supervisor...LaToya...who told me to wait while she proceeded to finish checking in the entire line, smirking, like it was not an emergency...Upon returning home and checking my online credit card statement, I was shocked and horrified to find a $400 unauthorized charge by Hawthorn Suites...I called, LaToya informed me that it was for a TV missing from my room...They were accusing me of theft!!...I told her that she better credit the full amount back to my credit card, or all hell was going to break loose...She absolutely refused to do so, and had a major attitude...I immediately contacted my credit card company to dispute the fraudulent charge...They suggested I call the Las Vegas Police to inquire about whether the hotel had filed a police report about the stolen TV...No report was ever filed...The general manager, Bill Wilhalme, is a crook...He wouldn't take my calls, nor return them...When I finally got a hold of him, I had to threaten bringing a television news crew to the hotel to expose his fraudulent operation in order to get him to credit back the wrongful charge...Stay away from this hotel at all costs!!!...I wouldn't stay here ever again, even for free!!!...I am contemplating exposing these criminals and/or taking legal action...They simply messed w/the wrong person!!!...I can't believe that Hyatt would associate their good name w/this low class small hotel chain...They reek of desperation for paying customers.
Could be better!
We attend a trade show every year in Las Vegas and have been staying here for the last 4 years. The quality of the hotel has gone down hill. There was remodeling going on during my last stay in April. The breakfast bar has dropped in quality every year we were there. (Hey management, are you listening?) Next year we are considering moving to a casino hotel. The positive to this hotel is location. It's only a few minutes walk away from the MGM, New York, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, etc. The rooms are nice, but in need of updating. This hotel used to be one of the best deals in Vegas from a price vs. quality standpoint. Now it's at best average.
The only place I stay
My family and I only stay here when we go to Vegas. The rooms are clean and spacious and the hotel is less than 5 minutes walking distance away from the MGM and other great casinos on the strip. The one- and two-bedrooms are like apartments with a nice sized fridge and a real kitchen with actual dishes, stove, oven, and sink. The only bad thing is that while a continental breakfast is free, it isn't all that great and gets worse every year. However, it is a great value for such a nice hotel and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a place that is really close to the strip, but without the smoke and sound of slot machines.
Shame on you!
Just how tolerable is it when large Hotel chains almost double their prices for a group of Cheerleaders, sponsored by a non-profit organization, are in desperate need of 20 hotel rooms? Our group was desperate for hotels rooms due to an unforseeable error. Vegas was packed for this particular weekend, so a room which would normally costs $89.00 was jacked up to $159 per night. For that price we got a musty smelling, very small "suite". My daughter literally cried when we initially walked into our room! They do not have a restaurant on site, no liquor lincense, no bellman, no heat in the outdoor pool...not to mention poor quality landscaping and zero ammenities. The room was hardly worth the price. I checked out after two night and moved to the MGM for $199 per night. Their is absolutely no comparison between these two hotels. Shame on you, Hawthorn Suites. March 2004
It's OK
Bedroom and living room are large, but bathroom looks old. Breakfast was bad, but in Vegas there are so many other choices for breakfast. Service is spotty. I might stay there again, but will investigate other choices.
Not Impressed
I was not impressed with the physical condition of the room. My reservation was made with a promotional rate and I wonder if I was given an inferior room because of this. Room was run-down, lighting was too dim to read, no towels or soap at check-in, an old squeaky bed, and old lumpy pillows. I have written a letter to the manager and am waiting a response. On the other hand, everyone at the front desk that I talked to was very nice and pleasant. Breakfast was okay but definately lacking healthy food alternatives.
My Home Away From Home
Hawthorn Suites is by far one of the best values in Las Vegas. For someone who wants a nice quiet stay at a clean place with great amenities, and not all the crowds, this place is the best.
Hawthorn Suites 2 blocks from the Luxor so it's close to all the big strip hotels. It's not exactly a suite at the Bellagio but their standard 1 bedroom suite beats a deluxe room at most hotels on the strip for less.
I've stayed there twice in 2002 and loved it. Even on a holiday weekend, I stayed over 4th of July, the prices were great. Their suite includes a kitchen, full sized fridge and seperate living room and bedroom There's a complimentary breakfast, and happy hour. They've also got a pool and an excercise room.
All in all, I've recommended this place to all my friends and they've made it a regular spot to stay at when in town for a long stay.

The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has invested more than £15.5m in an Isle of Wight firm aiming to build giant blades for the next generation of 8MW to 10MW offshore wind turbines.
Most of the 5-7MW wind turbines in development use 60-75 metre fibre glass blades, but Blade Dynamics' new blade will be 80-100 metres in length and will be constructed of lighter carbon fibre material.
The company believes its modular assembly process for the blades could cut the levelised cost of offshore wind power by up to 10 per MWh.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2011 Article IV Consultation, Post Program Monitoring, and Ex Post Evaluation with MongoliaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No.11/39
March 23, 2011
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On March 16, 2011, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV Consultation, Post Program Monitoring, and Ex Post Evaluation (EPE) with Mongolia.1
The Mongolian economy was hit hard by the global economic crisis, due to its high dependence on mineral exports and a history of pro-cyclical macroeconomic policies. By early 2009, the economy was on the verge of collapse: the central bank was running out of international reserves, the budget deficit was not financed, inflation was in the double-digits, and the banking system was under stress. An 18-month Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) was approved on April 1, 2009, which succeeded in quickly stabilizing the economy thanks to the authorities' steadfast policy implementation, financial support from the donor community, and a rebound in global copper prices.
Growth rebounded strongly in 2010 and reached 6 percent. This recovery is all the more impressive in light of the severe winter that led to a sharp contraction in agriculture, especially animal husbandry. The shock to food supply, however, helped drive inflation into the double digits for much of the year, led by rising meat prices. Higher copper prices and a rapid increase in coal production are fueling strong export growth that has helped boost international reserves to an all-time high.
Growth this year is projected to remain strong and accelerate to around 10 percent. The large increase in fiscal spending underway, however, is creating excess demand that will result in higher inflation and surging imports. The medium-term growth prospects continue to be favorable, as production from two large mining projects is expected to start by 2013 and lead to a substantial increase in output.
In accordance with IMF procedures, the Executive Board also reviewed an EPE of Mongolia's experience with the exceptional access SBA approved in April 2009, the first Fund SBA in Asia since the Asian financial crisis. The EPE focused on program design and implementation, as well as key lessons from the experience. The report found that the SBA contributed to stabilizing a rapidly deteriorating macroeconomic situation during the global crisis, as well as facilitating structural reforms to strengthen the policy framework. Lessons learned include that large financing packages, combined with appropriately streamlined conditionality, can effectively stabilize crises; that timely technical assistance can greatly facilitate program implementation; and that securing a durable commitment to post-program reforms remains a future challenge.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors welcomed the turnaround in economic growth following the completion of the Fund-supported program. Directors observed, however, that pro-cyclical policies are undermining hard-won macroeconomic stability, and overheating has become a key policy concern. This calls for fiscal restraint and tightened monetary conditions. Looking ahead, Directors considered that medium-term prospects are favorable but that a prudent management of Mongolia's vast mineral resources is necessary for sustainable growth and lasting prosperity.
Directors expressed concern that the large increase in fiscal spending envisaged for this year will further drive up inflation, with an adverse impact on the poor. They called on the authorities to amend the 2011 budget and cut public spending to bring the fiscal stance back in line with the cyclical requirements and the medium-term objectives of the Fiscal Responsibility Law. Directors also considered the adoption of a better targeted social transfer system to be a priority for the period ahead. Noting the potential for large quasi-fiscal liabilities, they urged caution with the planned establishment of a development bank, the provision of government guarantees, and the implementation of public-private partnerships.
Directors saw considerable scope for a more proactive monetary management to curb inflation, starting with an immediate hike in the policy interest rate. They also generally supported a move over the medium term toward a monetary framework with a more explicit focus on inflation. Measures to improve liquidity management and the economy's capacity to absorb capital inflows are also necessary.
Directors agreed that the flexible exchange rate regime has worked well. They welcomed the authorities' commitment to allow the exchange rate to adjust with market conditions, noting its benefits in providing a cushion against external shocks and the structural changes underway. Directors encouraged the authorities to remove the remaining multiple currency practices as soon as conditions permit.
Directors welcomed progress in strengthening financial oversight and implementing the recommendations of the Financial Sector Assessment Program. They highlighted the importance of strict enforcement of existing regulations, and looked forward to the enactment of a law governing the provision of public support for bank restructuring and recapitalization. Directors also encouraged an early establishment of a deposit insurance system to replace the blanket deposit guarantee.
Directors concurred with the key messages of the EPE report. They noted that the Shad helped alleviate the effects of external shocks, by combining strong policy adjustment and a front-loaded use of Fund resources, catalyzing donor support for Mongolia. Advances had also been made in structural reforms. Going forward, Directors urged sustained efforts to complete the reforms initiated under the program in order to strengthen the resilience of the Mongolian economy. They welcomed the authorities' intention to remain closely engaged with the Fund under post-program monitoring.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Arizona senior Miranda Russell has been recognized by the Pacfific-10 Conference for the Special Performance of the Week, the league office announced today.
Russell led the team with an impressive performance this past weekend, contributing to the Cats' defeat over the Boise State Broncos. Russell earned a spot on the podium for all three events she competed, taking first on bars and floor with twin scores of 9.850, and second on vault with a 9.825.
"Miranda's performance this last week truly was special. We are all really proud of the long road back, and the fortitude she has shown throughout her journey," head coach Bill Ryden said of the honor. "Miranda has been a rock for the team this year, and we couldn't be more proud of her dedication to get her back to this place."
This award is Russell's second from the Pac-10; her sophomore year she received conference honors as Gymnast of the Week for the week of February 26-March 3, 2008. She was recognized for her performance in an Arizona hosted meet against the University of Washington.
In her junior year, Russell hurt her knee, causing her to red shirt one season and begin a two year battle with the injury. This season is the first since the injury that Russell has been able to compete in any event except for bars. Not only has she continued to be strong on that event (last week scoring a career high 9.9) but she has also become a regular in the vault and floor lineup.
From here, the Wildcats will continue to use Russell in these events as they host their annual Flipping for the Fight meet against the University of Illinois-Chicago. The meet will be held this Friday, February 4 at 7 p.m. in the McKale Center.

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - Linda R Ramirez is officially the commissioner for precinct one. She's happy to now be a part of the Webb County family. Ramirez has a busy couple of days ahead of her to get adjusted to the new position.
"First and foremost, I want to safeguard the interest of precinct one but also all of Webb County. It's been difficult the last two months, with someone not occupying this seat. The county has a lot of business that it needs to get back to but not just precinct one, but all of Webb County and I plan on working for everyone."
Ramirez not only lives in the precinct, but works there as well. She's been a teacher for 16 years at United South High School and prides herself with community service work. Her three sisters all think she is the perfect pick to represent precinct one.
"I am so very proud of my little sister. She's always been involved in the community. She lives and works in that area. She lived there her entire life and I think she'll do a wonderful job for the citizens of that area. I'm so very proud of her."
She's spent the morning shaking hands with people in her precinct. County employees and fellow members of commissioners court were all there in support.
"She has a lot of ideas, a lot of good ideas. So I look forward to working with her and to be able to make a difference in precinct one."
Ramirez will keep the current precinct one staff. She said she has been working with them all weekend and looks forward to making a difference in her precinct. Her first commissioners court meeting will be on Monday, May 12th.
