Box Score | Video Recap | Follow on Facebook
Los Angeles, Calif. - Senior Ryan Hollingshead scored the only goal of the match in the 54th minute as the 11th-ranked UCLA men's soccer team earned their fourth straight win after defeating the Loyola Marymount Lions 1-0 on Sunday.
UCLA improved to 4-1-1 on the year while LMU fell to 1-4-1 with the loss.
The Bruins went on the offensive right from the get go, getting shots on goal from Reed Williams in the 5th minute and Grady Howe in the 13th minute. But both times LMU keeper Paul Blanchette made saves to keep the match scoreless. UCLA kept at it though, and almost broke through in the 18th minute when Hollingshead put a shot towards goal that hit the crossbar and bounced away from danger.
The pressure on Blanchette would not stop and the Bruins continued to generate chances, highlighted by Fernando Monge heading a shot on goal in the 32nd minute that was again saved by Blanchette. Despite outshooting the Lions 10-3 in the first half and having eight corner kicks to LMU's zero, UCLA was unable to score and both schools went into the half tied at 0-0.
UCLA finally broke the scoreless tie in the 54th minute when Hollingshead put the Bruins on top 1-0 with a one-touch in front of goal after a great cross from Evan Raynr. From there the Bruin defense took over and kept the Lions out of the goal, eventually lifting UCLA to their fourth straight win with a 1-0 victory over LMU.
The Bruins looked to be the far better team on the day, outshooting the Lions 15-4 and finishing with a 13-0 corner kick advantage. Sophomore goalkeeper Earl Edwards returned to the pitch after missing four matches with an injury and made three saves to earn his first victory of the year. UCLA also improved to 9-0-1 in their last 10 road matches with the win and earned their 11th shutout in their last 15 matches.
"It was a solid performance and a good win," said UCLA head coach Jorge Salcedo. "Our possession and moments to create goal-scoring opportunities were good. We just lacked some finishing. We look forward to our next match and continuing to improve."
UCLA will continue their road trip next weekend when they take on rivals UC Santa Barbara on Friday, Sept. 21 at 6 pm and Cal Poly on Sunday, Sept. 23 at 4 pm. The UC Santa Barbara match will be nationally brodcast live on Fox Soccer Channel.

November is the start of the annual decline in inventory of properties for sale in Incline Village and Crystal Bay as sellers begin to remove their houses, condos and freestanding condos from the MLS in anticipation of the winter doldrums. 19 properties came off the market during the past week bringing the inventory level down to a total of 229 places for sale in Incline Village and Crystal Bay. This puts the total number of properties for sale at 20% below the same time in 2012 and down 40% from 2011.
Buyers who are shopping for property on the Nevada side of North Lake Tahoe are starting to get frustrated with the lack of variety for sale as we head deeper into autumn. With 2013 shaping up to be the biggest year for Incline Village and Crystal Bay real estate sales since 2005, buyers who are used to bargain-hunting between November and March will find themselves with fewer choices and sellers who are not nearly as motivated to cut price and run as they were during the recession.
Typically, many sellers will pull their properties off the market at the end of November and December but this is one winter when that might not be the best strategy. Historically, real estate sales at Lake Tahoe drop dramatically during the winter months. However, with the continued strength in the Northern California economy and the distinct possibility that this winter will be a rather mild one based on current weather patterns, for many sellers it will make sense to keep their properties listed for sale as buyers continue to peruse the available offerings.
Of the 159 condos that have closed escrow in Incline Village and Crystal Bay during the first 10 months of 2013, 26 of those sales occurred in just the McCloud condominium complex. As of this writing, there are only three properties for sale in the entire complex of 256 units and all of them are two bedroom, two bath upper units with identical floor plans. Recently, the two available one bedroom condos for sale in this development went into escrow and there has not been a three-bedroom condo offered for sale since all the way back in February. Buyers who are searching for a lower level two bedroom unit or any type of three-bedroom floor plan have been playing a waiting game for quite awhile and will likely find themselves in a multiple offer situation when one of these properties hits the market.
The ever popular Third Creek condominium development has witnessed 12 properties changing hands so far this year. The only remaining two bedroom condo that was for sale, (#51) got an accepted offer during the past week. This particular property has the smallest floor plan of any two bedroom condominium in the complex at just under 1400 ft.². With 14 different floor plans in Third Creek and a wide variety of locations and settings, buyers will be twiddling their thumbs as they wait for another two bedroom unit to come on the market. There are only four properties listed on the Incline Village MLS in this complex with asking prices ranging from $639,000 up to $819,000, but at least they encompass three different floor plans of the three-bedroom genre.
During the recession the freestanding condos in the Country Club Villas located at 198 Country Club Dr. saw their prices drop precipitously as properties languished on the market for months at a time. But the piper is playing a completely different tune during 2013 as prices rocketed 20% and the inventory dropped to zero. The next time one of these three bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2100+ square foot freestanding condos gets listed on the MLS there will probably be a bidding war as multiple buyers jump off the sidelines.
Even though the overall inventory of properties for sale in Incline Village and Crystal Bay hovers around a six month supply many of these are places that have been on the market anywhere from a few months to several years. Some places just have a floor plan, location, steep driveway, unusable lot or other feature that buyers are not craving. Until just the right buyer comes along these properties will continue to sit regardless of how much the price is slashed. Sellers that have unique properties with attributes that are not highly desirable cannot expect their agent to work magic, especially during the off-season.
On a personal note, RE/MAX corporate just-released the individual sales totals for the first three quarters of 2013. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that this columnist is ranked #1 in total sales of residential and commercial property among all of the RE/MAX agents in the State of Nevada. Thank you to all of the buyers and sellers that have helped make this an exciting and extremely successful year.

Opinion 8.045 - Direct-to-Consumer Diagnostic Imaging Tests
Diagnostic imaging services that have not been scientifically validated for screening purposes are being offered without prior referral by a personal physician. Examples include total body scanning, electron beam computed tomography (CT) for determining coronary artery calcification, spiral CT for lung cancer screening, and CT colonography for colon cancer screening. Physicians and relevant specialty societies should advocate for the conduct of appropriate trials aimed at determining the predictive power of the tests, and their sensitivity and specificity for target abnormalities. When adequate data regarding a screening diagnostic imaging service become available, the profession has a responsibility to develop suitable guidelines, as has been done for mammography.
The following ethical guidelines apply to physicians providing screening imaging services that have not been scientifically validated, without referral from another physician:
(1) Performance of a diagnostic imaging test at the request of an individual is justifiable only if, in the judgment of the physician, the potential benefits of the service outweigh the risks.
(2) Once a physician agrees to perform the test, a patient-physician relationship is established with all the obligations such a relationship entails. (See Opinion 10.01, "Fundamental Elements of the Patient-Physician Relationship" and Opinion 10.015, "The Patient-Physician Relationship.")
In the absence of a referring physician who orders the test, the testing physician assumes responsibility for relevant clinical evaluation, as well as pre-test and post-test counseling concerning the test, its results, and indicated follow-up. Post-test counseling may also be accomplished through referral to an appropriate physician who accepts the patient.
In obtaining the patient's informed consent (see Opinion 8.08, "Informed Consent"), the testing physician should discuss, in a manner the patient can understand, the usual elements of informed consent as well as:
(a) the inaccuracies inherent in the proposed test,
(b) the possibility of inconclusive results,
(c) false positives or false negatives, and
(d) circumstances which may require further assessment and additional costs.
(3) Physicians who hold financial interests in imaging facilities must not place those interests above the welfare of their patients, as stated in Opinions 8.03, "Conflicts of Interest: Guidelines" and 8.032, "Conflicts of Interest: Health Facility Ownership by a Physician." Moreover, physicians who advertise diagnostic imaging services should ensure that advertisements are truthful and not misleading or deceptive. (I, II, V, VIII)

In the summer of 2012, Riverstone in Coeur d'Alene welcomed a delicious new restaurant. Le Peep is a locally owned and operated breakfast and lunch hot spot. It is bright, clean and the food and service are fantastic.
Many restaurants have gluten free options, but the cool thing about Le Peep is they have an entire gluten free menu. From omlettes and skillet meals to belgian waffles. Their French toast made with gluten free Challah bread dipped in custard batter sounds too good to be true. Katz Gluten Free Bakery provides the restaurant with their gluten free breads and waffles.
For those with Celiac or other gluten allergies, ingesting even a hint of gluten can be life threatening. Printed on the front of the gluten free menu , "At Le Peep we created a menu with a wide selection of gluten free options and educated our kitchen staff on the importance of cross contamination."
Whether you are a gluten free diner or not, Le Peep is a wonderful place to dine. They specialize in a large selection of breakfast items, as well as a delicious lunch line up. Their coffee and espresso drinks are a treat as well. On nice days their patio is open and overlooks the Spokane River.
Le Peep is open weekdays from 6:30 am-2:30pm and weekend hours are 7:00 am-3:00 pm. They will be open Easter Sunday serving their regular menu. Seating is on a first come basis as they do not take reservations. Their address is: 1884 W. Bellerive #101, Coeur d'Alene, ID. Their phone number is: 208-664-0404.

GLENDALE, Calif. - Kick Ass Pictures is at at again. The company, long known for its splashy PR gimmicks has announced that it will make a $1,000,000 offer to Ashley Alexandra Dupré, the escort and aspiring singer at the center of the recent scandal that led to the resignation of New York governor Eliot Spitzer. Dupré, who also used the alias "Kristen," is 22 and was allegedly hired Spitzer for the purpose of prostitution.
The new Kick Ass project is tentatively titled Spitzer Swallows: An Oral History of Guv Love. The movie would call for Dupré to re-enact her encounters with Governor Spitzer in hardcore detail.
Kick Ass Pictures' president Mark Kulkis said, "Miss Dupre is smokin' hot.
"Hot enough for at least one man to pay $4,300 to sleep with her. We think millions of other men will gladly pay $29.95 to vicariously enjoy that experience."
Kulkis also hopes the proposed movie would also feature songs by Dupré, who is an aspiring musician. "Porn soundtracks have traditionally set a very low standard," Kulkis noted. "We¹re confident that Ms. Dupré¹s songs will sweep the music categories at awards time."
Kick Ass Pictures is no stranger to politics. In 2003 the company ran its contract star Mary Carey for governor of California. In 2005 Kulkis and Carey had dinner with President Bush.

College Hockey:A Week of Random Thoughts
Call it winter doldrums, but this writers mind is struggling to find great topics about which to blog this week. So instead, I'll pass along some random musings…
- I wonder if I'm the only person whose jaw dropped when someone told me that Air Force is currently in second place in Atlantic Hockey. I'll admit that after their wininng streak came to an end I haven't followed the team as closely. But at that same time I also remember saying to myself that there's no way anyone will catch the Falcons in the regular season. Yes, as usual, I was wrong.
- Cornell is the only team in the country with only a single loss. At this point the Big Red also have an impressive 10-game unbeaten streak. Impressive, I guess, until I look at Notre Dame which hasn't lost in 20 games.
- Games in hand not withstanding, I can't remember the last time Michigan occupied sixth place in the CCHA this late in the season.
- When I saw Colgate play this December in the Florida College Classic, I really was impressed with the club. But now, looking at the team's 1-6-3 record in league play, I'm shaking my head.
- Last Saturday evening's Northeastern-Vermont game might have been the most entertaining game I've seen all season. The weird thing was how the pucks ended up in the back of the net. Knucklepucks, pinball like bounces, strange rebounds. It's almost like the entire game was possessed.
- I'm a firm believer that Hockey East is the best league, top-to-bottom, this season. But the WCHA has to lead the way in terms of parity, at least near the top of the league. A single weekend series (aka four points or less) separate the top five schools.
- I have to wonder if Boston College is setting everyone up for another "Ha Ha, you didn't think we're any good but we're going to win the national championship" runs. Last year, it took until the final night of the regular season for BC to make a statement, barely earning home ice with a road win at Northeastern. The Eagles, as you may recall, never lost another game. This season, BC is 5-7-3 in league play, sitting in fifth place, a full ten points behind league-leading NU.
- A two-game series between Boston University and New Hampshire this weekend could be the Terriers chance to define themselves as the best team in the nation. For those in New England, NESN will be showing BOTH games of the series, a nice move by the league's official network.
Okay, that's it for now. If anyone has a topic they'd like me to discuss, feel free to leave a comment. If it warrants, I'll write another blog post this week!
The following is a self-policing forum for discussing views on this story.

Sun Modular Datacenter To Power GreenLight Project
By staceyinfantino on Jul 28, 2008
The National Science Foundation (NSF) will provide $2 million over three years to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to fund its GreenLight project. The GreenLight project will connect scientists and their labs to more energy-efficient 'green' computer processing and storage systems using photonics - light over optical fiber.
The NSF infrastructure grant allows UCSD to purchase two Sun Modular Datacenter S20s (Sun MD), one which has already been installed and the second in the third year of the GreenLight project.
The Sun Modular Datacenter currently deployed on the UC San Diego campus will be instrumented for the GreenLight project - offering full-scale processing and storage in order to test how to make computing more energy-efficient. As a modular technology, Sun MD makes it easy for customers to quickly start up new projects like this one or easily scale their datacenter to efficiently take on new work.
The Sun Modular Datacenter is the epitome of 'energy-efficiency'.
Accommodating up to 280 servers with its eco-friendly design, Sun MD can reduce cooling costs by up to 40 percent.
Eliminating the need for air-conditioning , Sun MD's closed-loop water-cooling system uses built-in heat exchanges between equipment racks to channel air flow - allowing the unit to cool 25 kilowatts per rack which is approximately five times the cooling capacity of typical datacenters.
The industry-standard racks can also be placed close together, reducing the overall eco-footprint of the structure and increasing energy efficiency by the elimination of dead space.

Private Cloud, Private Dell?
February 12th, 2013 by Erik Rudin, VP Business Development
Last Tuesday, Dell Inc., the number three world producer of PC's, announced it was leaving the ranks of publicly traded companies with a substantial buyout by Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners. The whopping $24 billion dollar price tag was also partly funded by a $2 billion investment from Microsoft Corporation. For those of us who watch the enterprise systems and server management space, this deal generates some interesting observations.
Is it a Cloudy or Sunny day in Texas? – Dell is widely known for its prior number one ranking in PC sales; however, it's the growth of cloud and data center markets that have recently driven up infrastructure revenue. Dell provides a myriad of components that make up an Enterprise's private cloud with network, compute, and storage resources. Public cloud and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) service providers also consume Dell technology for building their own public clouds. With all the focus on Dell's declining PC market share, we should continue to highlight other areas of their business that are growing in the new cloud era.
The PC is dead, Long live the PC – Most industry analysts are forecasting a steady decline of PC sales due to pressure from the BYOD movement and the rise in corporate organizations provisioning tablets and smartphones to a growing mobile workforce. While Dell would appear un-shackled from the auspices of engaged shareholders and regulators, this recent move by aggressive investors will allow Dell to make some hard and bold moves with their PC division. It's still unclear if Dell will use this move to shore up growing divisions and trim non-profitable ones similar to IBM's handling of their ThinkPad line of business. Microsoft's strategic investment in Dell would also indicate their desire to strengthen the bonds between Windows OS with new Dell devices.
It's 2013 – Innovate or die – A slow moving Dell could cripple its ability to innovate in the fast moving world of internet and consumer technology. A more agile and invested Dell would be able to be more aggressive with M&A along with strategic investments in growing markets such as Smart internet connected devices and private clouds. Dell is still in the process of integrating recent acquisitions such as Quest Software and Wyse. One area that ScienceLogic has particular interest has been in the newer Dell 12G server line. Dell recently added new instrumentation into their iDRAC out-of-band server management cards. Working with Dell, ScienceLogic has been able to leverage this new API and extend our existing OpenManage server management agent support to the updated iDRAC cards.
A healthy Dell is a good thing for enterprises and service providers alike. Under new guidance from Silver Lake Partners, Microsoft and a reinvigorated Michael Dell could spell success for new technology innovation and the ever evolving Cloud community.Tagged with: BYOD, Dell, enterprise systems, IaaS, iDRAC, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, microsoft, private cloud, public cloud, ScienceLogic, server management, SmartIT

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the New York Giants and defensive end Osi Umenyiora aren't likely to come to an agreement on a new contract in that amount of time either. However, it's all about progress and that's exactly what's occurring between Big Blue and the Chief. ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reports that despite the significant gap between the two sides, they have continued actively discussing a new contract for the former Pro Bowler.
Umenyiora has received a lot of support from his teammates recently, with many of them speaking out publicly. It began with Justin Tuck and continued with Mathias Kiwanuka on Wednesday.
"He has been under contract in a bad deal for years now and anybody who looks at the situation would say, 'Well, this should have been taken care of a long time ago,'" said LB Mathias Kiwanuka. "For whatever reason, it hasn't. So I understand his frustration."
The endorsements haven't been lost on Osi, who says it's made this entire situation that much more difficult for him.
"What I've heard from Kiwi, and Tuck and JPP, I'll never forget as long as I live," Umenyiora said. "That's exactly why we are champions. Because we have each other's back. These days you hardly see that kind of loyalty from anybody. I appreciate it, and honestly it makes things that much harder for me. Because those are the people I need to be around."
Osi has been absent from the voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs), but will be expected to attend mandatory veteran mini-camp which begins on June 12th. Whether or not the two sides can bridge the gap in contract talks between now and then may play a large role in him showing up or choosing to be fined.

All proceeds of the exhibition game between the Tucson Sidewinders and the Arizona baseball team on Tuesday, April 5 will be used to buy books for preschoolers and help fund a UA study of local childcare needs. The game is scheduled to get underway at 6 p.m. at Tucson Electric Park, 2500 E. Ajo Way. Tickets are $3 at the gate. The No. 12-ranked Wildcats (21-10, 5-1 Pac-10) are coming off a series sweep over UCLA last weekend and the Sidewinders will be opening their 2005 season with the contest.
"We're excited to be a part of this game," Arizona head coach Andy Lopez said. "It's for a great cause and hopefully the community will come out and support not only it, but two of our local baseball teams as well."
The University of Arizona's College of Education and the Institute for Children, Youth and Families have joined forces in The Early Childhood Development and Learning (ECDL) initiative to address the needs of young children and families in southern Arizona. In summer 2005, ECDL faculty and students will launch the Southern Arizona Benchmark Study of Early Child Care and Education Use and Quality. Researchers will collect information from 1,000 families in southern Arizona about their experiences and concerns regarding local childcare and early education.
To reward family participation in the study, the UA will donate books to the preschool programs where the families' children attend, creating classroom library resources for thousands of young children to use and enjoy. Fact sheets will also be provided to preschool teachers about how they can use books to help children deal with social/emotional problems, like anger and grief, in positive ways.
The results of the benchmark study will inform policy makers, childcare professionals, early childhood educators and UA faculty. They in turn will train the next generation of early childcare providers and educators about issues regarding family beliefs and attitudes that impact enrollment and ultimately a child's early learning experiences.
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano has highlighted the need for understanding the quality of existing childcare so that a statewide program for improving the quality of early childhood education can be implemented. The ECDL initiative's benchmark study is one part of a three-pronged plan to begin to address the needs of thousands of Arizona's 3-5 year old population and their families.
A few UA students already are taking courses to qualify for Arizona teacher certification with an early childhood endorsement. Beginning in fall 2006, freshmen will be recruited specifically for teacher education programs emphasizing early childhood development.
The community outreach component of the ECDL initiative kicks off on May 16 at the UA with a special meeting to update key providers of early childhood services and other stakeholders in southern Arizona who are essential partners in this action plan to meet children's developmental and childcare needs.
The goal of the collaborative effort by the UA College of Education and the Institute for Children, Youth and Families is to ensure that parents can be certain their children are safe, well cared for and exposed to the kind of stimulation that will enhance early learning.

Chocolate Cake with Snowy Meringue
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: Baby
In: Holidays
Instructions:Chocolate Cake With Snowy Meringue
Serves 12 to 15
For the best results, ask your grocer to help you find chocolate with a high butterfat content, such as Callebaut.
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pans
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
8 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 pounds best-quality semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 cups blanched almonds, toasted, coarsely chopped
2 cups heavy cream
1 pound best-quality semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
1. Make the cake layers: Preheat oven to 325�. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms with parchment paper; butter parchment. Dust with flour, and tap out excess; set aside. Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring. Let cool completely. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
2. Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Mix in buttermilk and vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the eggs, 2 at a time. Add melted chocolate; mix until smooth.
3. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on wire racks 15 minutes. Turn out cakes, and remove parchment. Let cool completely on racks. Cakes can be refrigerated, wrapped tightly in plastic, up to 2 days.
4. Meanwhile, make the ganache filling: Bring cream to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over chocolate in a heatproof mixer bowl; stir until smooth. Let cool completely. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until mixture reaches a medium stiff consistency, 2 to 5 minutes, checking frequently. If it does not reach this consistency, chill in freezer up to 5 minutes, then continue beating.
5. Assemble cake: Trim rounded tops of cakes flat. Stir together 1 1/2 cups filling and the almonds; spread over one cake layer. Top with second layer, and spread remaining filling over top and sides. Smooth with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until filling is very firm, 1 to 2 hours.
6. Meanwhile, make the ganache glaze: Bring cream to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour over chocolate in a bowl; stir until smooth. Let cool completely.
7. Transfer assembled cake to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour glaze over cake all at once, using a spatula to push it

If you are planning on renovating or redecorating your bathroom in the coming year, you might be interested in some of the trends that you are likely to come across. Remember that this space is where you will rush to get ready in the morning and where you will relax at the end of a long day, so it is important that it is suited to your needs. In this article, we have covered 5 of the bathroom design trends that are set to boom in 2014.
The use of black for faucets, bathtubs, lighting and tiles
If you are looking for some bold contrast in an otherwise neutral bathroom design, we recommend that you introduce hints of black via faucets, bathtubs, lighting and even tiles. This will prevent white spaces from looking too sterile and bland. You will also notice that the curves of the faucets and bathtub will be much more noticeable against the white background, having a much more dramatic effect.
Choose matte tiles in shades of neutral and greiges
Whilst the all-white bathroom makes for a classic and timeless look, those interested in a design with a bit more character should introduce some neutral matte tiles. You will quickly notice that there are plenty of shades available today, from the palest of greys to off blacks, ensuring that you get the perfect match. Try using these tiles underfoot or lining the walls of your shower for a different look.
The installation of showers without curbs
The trend for showers in 2014 is a continuous and seamless look. This means that you will see flooring that runs into the shower rather than being stopped at the curb – this will offer quite a beautiful approach to the bathroom, especially if you're working with a smaller space. It is also possible to invest in some drains that run along the edge or underneath glass rather than sit in the middle of the shower.
Ledges in showers, behind vanities and freestanding bathtubs
Planning ahead for storage is a trend that should never go out of fashion, but in 2014 designs are getting a little more creative in that every square inch of space will be used. Many people have started integrating ledges so that useful items can be kept on hand whilst still looking neat and tidy. A ledge can look fantastic when it was been wrapped with tile or natural stone, as it appears to be more of a natural feature.
Floating vanities (not just for modern spaces!)
As you have probably noticed, a lot of the bathroom design trends for 2014 revolve around keeping things clean, simple and practical. This is why floating vanities are a no brainer. Because they don't feature legs, they are the perfect element to give the feeling of more space. This is also very practical from a cleaning perspective and allows you to showcase the beautiful flooring you have chosen for the space.
When planning a bathroom design for your own home, it is important that you take into account your needs alongside the current trends that you would like to follow. Whilst you might love the idea of ledges, if your shower isn't big enough to accommodate such an addition it is never going to work. This is why it can be helpful to have a professional work with you on the design, as they will be able to make all of your 'wants' work together in conjunction with all of your 'needs'.

But just 12 years in prison for UNNAMED DAD.
You have blighted your children's lives, judge tells rapist father
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Leicester Mercury
A father who repeatedly raped one son and sexually abused another has been jailed for 12 years.
The 57-year-old, from Loughborough, began molesting the boys after splitting up with their mother in the mid 1990s.
The abuse happened when the boys were staying at his home, often during weekend visits.
Jacqueline Matthew-Stroud, prosecuting, told Leicester Crown Court the eldest child was subjected to sexual assaults from the age of 12 until he was 17.
The youngest was abused when he was between six and seven.
Their father, who cannot be named to protect the victims' identities, pleaded guilty to four specimen counts of rape, involving 20 to 30 incidents, as well as one count of gross indecency and two indecent assaults upon the eldest son.
He admitted two counts of indecent assault upon the youngest child.
Mrs Matthew-Stroud said the defendant ignored his elder son's protests.
Judge Philip Head told the defendant: "Your eldest son didn't know what to do in response to what his own father was doing.
"He had to reach the age of 17 before he had the robustness to put a stop to it."
The court heard the youngest boy stopped visiting his father from the age of eight to avoid further incidents.
Judge Head said: "Your sons are the victims of a gross betrayal of parental trust. You have blighted the entirety of their lives in the gravest possible way.
"You admit you knew what you were doing was wrong and illegal."
The judge ordered an additional five years be added to the defendant's licence period.
He was placed on a sexual offences prevention order, which included banning him from having unsupervised contact with males under 16.
He will also have to enlist on a sex offenders' register for life.
Sally Bamford, mitigating, said: "He is well aware he is going to receive a substantial jail sentence. His only mitigation is he has pleaded guilty, avoiding the victims the ordeal of giving evidence in court."

According to WFLA 8 News, a Port Richey, Fla., child was taken to the hospital after her family's chocolate Labrador retriever bit her in the face on Friday evening.
The family had been keeping the dog confined to a room of the house because he had showed aggressive tendencies towards children - the child who was injured had entered that room to retrieve a toy. According to WTSP News, neighbors of the family were not surprised about the attack, stating that the dog has shown signs of aggression for years.
The injured child was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital with lacerations to her face; she may need reconstructive surgery. The dog was removed from the home by animal control.
There is no word on why the girl was allowed to walk into the room with the dog, if the dog was known to have aggressive tendencies towards children.

We were happy to see our favorite NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr in the winning spot at the Daytona 500 race this week. Many NASCAR fans in Nashville are celebrating, along with Dale Jr., as he brought in the title of Daytona 500 winner, after a decade since his last win there.
With memories of his daddy, Dale Earnhardt Sr. surely in the forefront of his mind, he fought a good fight in this NASCAR race to bring home the trophy and we here at this house are proud to hear the good news.
In the old days of Nashville sports and motorsports racing at the Nashville Motor Speedway, we often saw Dale Earnhardt Sr. come to Nashville and make his rounds on the old race track here. We are sure Dale Jr. probably made some trips here with his daddy, but we were probably all focused on the big man back then, and not paying much attention to the little man, his son.
With the recent changes in the rules by NASCAR, (see NASCAR Completely Revamps Championship Rules) we think this puts Dale Earnghardt Jr. in a very good spot to bring home the championship title for 2014 and we will be pulling for him.

By extending the research term, Ortho-McNeil is committed to provide research funding to Arena worth $2.4 million.
Arena discovered the GDIR receptor, which has the potential to stimulate insulin production in response to increases in blood glucose. The GDIR is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor expressed in beta cells.
APD668 is a GDIR agonist intended to more efficiently stimulate insulin release by beta cells in response to elevated blood glucose levels and to avoid hypoglycemia. Unlike the GLP-1 receptor, the GDIR is amenable to small molecule, orally active drug development. Arena says it has discovered potent, selective, and orally available small molecule agonists of the GDIR that improve glucose tolerance and lower blood glucose levels in preclinical models of diabetes.
In preclinical studies, GDIR agonists only lowered blood glucose when it rose above normal levels, such as after a meal. Therefore, unlike the glucose-insensitive sulfonylureas, Arena's GDIR agonists are not expected to lower normal fasting blood glucose levels or cause hypoglycemia. In addition, GDIR stimulation has been found to increase the levels and activity of intracellular factors thought to be involved in the preservation of beta cells.

In the last few months, AULA Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Luis Pedraja has been featured in almost 200 publications around the United States, providing insight and expertise on issues related to higher education and immigration reform and the Latino academic achievement gap.
"Those of us who are fortunate enough to have an education have a moral obligation to speak up on behalf of those who are unable to receive the benefits of higher education as a direct result of economic and social injustices," says Pedraja. "Access to education is no longer a commodity, but a necessity for economic survival in the 21st century, both for the individual and for our nation."
In late December, writer Matthew Lynch interviewed Dr. Pedraja for "Diverse Conversations: Analyzing the Intersection of Higher Education and Immigration Reform." The article appeared in the publication Diverse Issues in Higher Education as well as the Huffington Post. In the interview, Dr. Pedraja discusses how a lack of legal immigration options affect the college prospects of children of undocumented immigrants and their futures, and how immigration reform should address this.
"I would like to challenge our political leaders to make education a path to citizenship. While broader reform is necessary, making higher education in particular a path to citizenship can benefit not only undocumented students, but also our nation," says Pedraja in the article.

AP writer Martha Mendoza interviewed Dr. Pedraja for her article "Latino Academic Achievement Gap Persists." The article appeared in the Huffington Post, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, Yahoo, Bloomberg Businessweek, and 175 more publications around the United States.
"We're falling behind," Pedraja says in the article. "Ultimately, we will face a crisis where a majority of the U.S. population will be economically disadvantaged, which will reduce their spending power and contribution to taxes and Social Security, impacting all segments of society and our country's economic health."

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Four runs scored following sophomore Nick Day's two-out, 10th inning double to lift the University of Iowa baseball team to a 9-5 extra inning victory over Purdue on Friday night at Alexander Field.
The win gives the Hawkeyes the series win over the Boilermakers -- Iowa's second straight series victory. Iowa downed Purdue, 2-1, in 11 innings last night, and took 2-of-3 games against Michigan State last weekend in Iowa City.
"We're starting to show a little bit of character and a little bit of fight," said UI head coach Jack Dahm. "That was my biggest concern coming in this weekend -- how were we going to battle and were we going to find something to sink our teeth into to win some games?
"I am very proud of what the guys have done the last three weekends. We're all beat up, we're the ugliest team in America right now, but we're finding a way, and that's good to see."
After seeing its 5-2 lead dwindle away in the eighth and ninth innings, the Hawkeyes shifted the game's momentum in their favor with a four-run 10th.
With one out, sophomore Taylor Kaufman started things off with a walk before freshman Jimmy Frankos delivered a pinch-hit single through the left side to put a pair on base. Following an Iowa strikeout for the second out of the inning, freshman Nick Roscetti reached via an infield single to load the bases before the "birthday boy" -- Day -- delivered.
The Solon, Iowa, native roped a double down the right field line on a 2-2 count to break the game open. Day was credited with two RBIs on the play, and he advanced to third and scored on a two-base throwing error by Purdue right fielder Conner Hudnall.
"What a birthday for Nick Day," said Dahm. "He had that huge swing of the bat to give us the big lead and score four runs. It was a great birthday present for him and it was great for the team."
Freshman Josh Martsching entered in a non-save situation in the bottom of the inning, but he closed the door on any Purdue hope, sitting down the Boilermakers on seven pitches to send the Hawkeyes to the victory.
Iowa pounded out 14 hits in the game with three players tallying multi-hit contests. Sophomore Eric Toole went 5-of-5 -- all singles -- and reached base in all six plate appearances. Toole tied school records for hits and singles in a game. It is the 15th time and first since 2010 that a player has had five hits and his five singles tied his brother Justin Toole's feat that last occurred in 2009.
Sophomore Anthony Torres went 2-of-5 with a run and RBI, while Roscetti was 2-of-5 with two RBIs and a run scored. It was Torres' seventh and Roscetti's sixth multi-hit game this season. Day and Kaufman both had two-RBI games.
Sophomore Nick Hibbing was credited with the victory -- his second in as many games -- after tossing 1/3 of an inning in relief of left-handed starter Sasha Kuebel. Kuebel received a no-decision after allowing five runs on 10 hits in 8 2/3 innings.
"Sasha was tremendous," said Dahm. "We wanted him to get that win; we wanted him to finish this game off. It didn't happen, but we wouldn't have won without the way Sasha pitched."
The Hawkeyes jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a pair of hits. Sophomore Jake Yacinich scorched a swinging bunt down the first base line to knock in Day for Iowa's first run before Torres followed with an RBI groundout to give the Hawkeyes the two-run advantage.
Purdue evened things up in the bottom of the fourth. The Boilermakers cut the lead in half in one swing of the bat when Sean McHugh led off the inning with a solo home run to left centerfield, and Cody Strong's RBI single up the middle evened the tally at two.
Iowa grabbed the momentum in the sixth, pushing three runs across the plate to take a 5-2 advantage. Torres got things started with a lead-off single to centerfield before Kaufman drew a one-out walk to put a pair of runners on base. After senior Keith Brand reached via a hit by pitch -- his 22nd of the season -- to load the bases, junior Taylor Zeutenhorst gave the Hawkeyes the 3-2 lead after knocking in a run while reaching on a fielder's choice.
With two on and two outs, Roscetti gave the Hawkeyes some insurance runs when he drove in a pair with an opposite field base hit to push the Iowa lead to 5-2.
Purdue, however, wouldn't go away quietly in its final six outs. McHugh connected on his second blast of the game to lead off the eighth to make the score 5-3. In the bottom of the ninth, the Boilermakers pushed two runs in, the final coming off McHugh's two-out, RBI triple down the right field line.
Iowa (21-27, 9-14) will go for the series sweep Saturday in the season finale beginning at 12 p.m. (CT).
"We want to get a sweep," said Dahm. "We haven't had a sweep all year, and that'd be a great way to finish the year. I think you're going to see a team that will really battle and end the season on a positive."

Big Blue Bug Solutions is an iconic family run business. Even those who pass through the state know of Nibbles Woodaway. Nibbles has been sitting on top of their building on I-95 since 1980 watching over as thousands of motorists pass on by.It's truly fitting for the second year Big Blue Bug Solutions wants to help keep the roadways safe and today they partner with the Katie DeCubellis Memorial Foundation.
According to the Rhode Island DMV, drunk drivers cause more than half of the accidents in the United States that result in death. More than 25,000 people die in alcohol-related car accidents each year. After just one drink, your chances of an accident multiply by seven. Those alarming statistics have spurred Rhode Island businesses and organizations to team up with the KDMF to help remind motorists to drive responsibly.
Now in its second year the KDMF's Magnet Campaign, has been placing magnets on hundreds of delivery vehicles statewide with the friendly reminder to please drive responsibly. This month The KDMF is proud to announce Big Blue Bug will place forty magnets on their fleet of vehicles.
Almeida Plumbing, Del's Lemonade, Munroe Dairy, Seascape, The Rhode Island State Police,Wesco Oil, YardWorks are all participants for the second year in this campaign to help keep the roadways safe.
"Last year's auto magnet program was more successful that we ever imagined as we received a lot of positive feedback ! It was a simple, but extremely effective way to generate awareness to thousands and thousands of drivers on our roadways about the consequences of drunk and/or distracted driving" said John DeCubellis, the Executive Director of the KDMF. "As a result, this year, the KDMF is fortunate to again partner with several respected and conscientious organizations to help encourage motorists to drive responsibly and hopefully, continue to save lives! It is truly a team effort that we hope will continue to have a strong, positive effect throughout this State and beyond!"
John and Meg DeCubellis know first-hand of the devastating toll impaired driving can have on a family. October 29th, 1999 a drunken driver killed thirteen year old Katie DeCubellis. Since then, the Foundation has strived to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence and distracted driving.
For the second year Big Blue Bug is taking part in this important campaign, "Big Blue Bug Solutions is proud to be a partner in the important work of the Katie DeCubellis Memorial Foundation," said Stephan E. Goldman president of the 77-year old company. "Distracted or impaired drivers are dangerous and of-ten deadly.We are committed to helping this fine organization save lives."
Each month one or more establishments will place the KDMF magnets on its vehicles helping KDMF to encourage the public to take notice. The goal is to raise awareness and also thank the organizations who are all so willing to donate some space on their vehicles.
To date, The KDMF has awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships, prizes and donations. For more information log onto www.kdmf.org.

My regular and committed correspondent Jeni Thornley, left me this comment the other day (in relation to a post on documentary insecurity):
Interesting…but fiction is also insecure. I really like this essay by Vivian Sobchack (1999) 'Toward a Phenomenology of Non-Fictional Film Experience' because she suggests that there aren't fixed boundaries between fiction and documentary – that it's about spectatorship- and depends on the viewer's experience of a film , how we might view, feel, interpret changing moments in any given film. Thus her famous quote: "One viewer's fiction may be an other's film-souvenir; one viewer's documentary, another's fiction".
Nevertheless, your post has got me thinking – last night I watched "The Outlaw Michael Howe" on ABC TV; it is a tele-movie, a historical period drama about a convict in Tasmania. I have a range of issues with this film which I am grappling with how to address…then today I read it was (part?) funded under Screen Australia's National Documentary Program's Making History Initiative. Well, it may be based on a true story but this does not make it a documentary! and why it received government funding as a documentary concerns me. So obviously I do think there are significant differences in the fiction-non fiction modes of address.
Sobchak's essay is in Collecting Visible Evidence (1999), ed. Michael Renov and Jane Gaines, Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1999, 241-254.
The insecurity I have begun to think about (in two different ways, one is about centres of indetermination, the other the one that Jeni's responding to) is a way to think about the sorts of willingness of documentary, historically, to play with form and technology. While fiction has done this, documentary seems to be a richer site of technical experimentation, as well as more complicated modes of address. Fiction, in film, might play with story and plot, it might 'break' the fourth wall (Godard of course springs readily to mind), but not that many play with modes of address that, say, Marker did way back in Letter from Siberia (direct address, irony, animation, literal repetition of footage).
Translating this to online, and I think the evidence is showing the documentary is doing much richer things in regards to networked practice than fiction. There is more variety of approaches and work, certainly more experimentation in relation to content, style, form, platform, and so on, than I think has happened in fiction film making. So I was wondering why. Why would nonfiction be more willing than fiction, which after all is celebrated as the place of 'creative' practice, be more conservative in relation to these things.
So my tentative answer comes out of possible worlds theory and those elegant definitions that I Iike (for their pragmatic exactness) where fiction are works about a world, while nonfiction are works about the world. In the former the world has to be internally consistent, and true. So it is true that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father, and that Jedi Knights have light sabres. Just as it is true that Ethan Edwards is a returned soldier from the American Civil War who undertakes a quest to, perhaps, kill his kidnapped niece. These are truth claims, and verifiable as truth claims, but they are truth claims that can be verified because they come from fictional universes with internally coherent rules. Nonfiction, on the other hand, makes claims about our world. They can be contested, but the evidence doesn't come from the fictional world, it comes from outside the text, from the world.
Hence fiction is very secure in itself. Once I set the rules I can do what I like. Unreliable narrator, in a universe where people sprout limbs as required, photosynthesise, and reproduce like fungi. Where if you fall in love you die. It really isn't a problem. So narrative is sovereign, in that solar, regal, absolute way that the idea of sovereign demands. It lets you do whatever you wish, just keep it internally consistent. Nonfiction on the other hand can't do this. The world is always there, bearing witness. I can make all sorts of truth claims, sure, but here narrative is not fiction, narrative is telling and claiming about a world that is external to itself. Here, in spite of how arrogant any nonfiction work wants to be in its claims for certainty and concrete absolute factness, it's test is not internal coherence but the outside. Which is unbounded. This is the reverse of fiction, for fiction always has clear edges – there is no scientific breakthrough that will suddenly render the universe of Star Wars wrong – and so nonfiction can't invest in narrative as sovereign. The world is sovereign here and so narrative becomes unsure of itself. AKA, insecure. As the world is sovereign, and outside, and unbounded, in relation to any nonfiction work, then what I say, and how I say it, can never have the security of fiction, and this insecurity opens up the form to, well, wonderment and experimentation.
So, nonfiction is much more willing to break things, play with things, question. It finds itself having to, because it can never pretend to say enough to create the sort of hermetic universe that is fiction's right.

TC TO RALPH WALDO EMERSON; 8 April 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540408-TC-RWE-01; CL 29: 58-61
Chelsea, 8 April, 1854—
Dear Emerson,
It was a morning not like any other which lay round it, a morning to be marked with white,1 that one, about a week ago, when your Letter came to me; a word from you yet again, after so long a silence! On the whole, I perceive you will not utterly give up answering me, but will rouse yourself now and then to a word of human brotherhood on my behalf, so long as we both continue in this Planet. And I declare, the Heavens will reward you; and as to me, I will be thankful for what I get, and submissive to delays and to all things: all things are good compared with flat want in that respect. It remains true, and will remain, what I have often told you, that properly there is no voice in this world which is completely human to me, which fully understands all I say, and with clear sympathy and sense answers to me, but your voice only. That is a curious fact, and not quite a joyful one to me. The solitude, the silence of my poor soul, in the centre of this roaring whirlpool called Universe, is great always, and sometime strange and almost awful. I have two million talking bipeds without feathers,2 close at my elbow, too; and of these it is often hard for me to say whether the so-called "wise" or the almost professedly foolish are the more inexpressibly unproductive to me. "Silence, Silence!" I often say to myself: "Be silent, thou poor fool; and prepare for that Divine Silence which is now not far!"— On the whole, write to me whenever you can; and be not weary of welldoing.3
I have had sad things to do and see since I wrote to you: the loss of my dear and good old Mother, which could not be spared me forever, has come more like a kind of total bankruptcy upon me than might have been expected, considering her age and mine. On those last two days, that last Christmas sunday! She was a true pious brave and noble mother to me; and it is now all over; and the Past has all become pale and sad and sacred;—and the all-devouring potency of Death, what we call Death, has never looked so strange, cruel and unspeakable to me. Nay not cruel altogether, let me say; huge, profound, unspeakable, that is the word.— You too have lost your good old Mother, who staid with you like mine, clear to the last:4 alas, alas, it is the oldest Law of Nature; and it comes on every one of us with a strange originality, as if it had never happened before.— Forward, however; and no more lamenting; no more than cannot be helped. "Paradise is under the shadow of our swords," said the Emir: "Forward!"5—
I make no way in my Prussian History; I bore and dig toilsomely thro' the unutterablest mass of dead rubbish, which is not even English, which is German and inhuman; and hardly from ten tons of learned inanity is there to be riddled one old rusty nail. For I have been back as far as Pytheas6 (who first of speaking creatures) beheld the Teutonic Countries; and have questioned all manner of extinct German shadows,—who answer nothing but mumblings. And on the whole Fritz himself is not sufficiently divine to me, far from it; and I am getting old, and heavy of heart;—and in short, it oftenest seems to me I shall never write any word about that matter; and have again fairly got into the element of the IMPOSSIBLE. Very well: could I help it? I can at least be honestly silent; and "bear my indigence with dignity," as you once said.7 The insuperable difficulty of Frederic is, that he, the genuine little Ray of Veritable and Eternal that was in him, lay imbedded in the putrid Eighteenth Century, such an ocean of sordid nothingnesses, shams, and scandalous hypocrisies, as never weltered in the world before;8 and that in everything I can find yet written or recorded of him, he still, to all intents and purposes, most tragically lies THERE;—and ought not to lie there, if any use is ever to be had of him, or at least of writing about him; for as to him, he with his work is safe enough to us, far elsewhere.— Pity me, pity me; I know not on what hand to turn; and have such a Chaos filling all my Earth and Heaven as was seldom seen in British or Foreign Literature! Add to which, the Sacred Entity, Literature itself is not growing more venerable to me, but less and ever less: good Heavens, I feel often as if there were no madder set of bladders tumbling on the billows of the general Bedlam at this moment than even the Literary ones,—dear at twopence a gross, I should say, unless one could annihilate them by purchase on those easy terms! But do not tell this in Gath;9 let it be a sad family-secret.
I smile, with a kind of grave joy, over your American speculations, and wild dashing portraitures of things as they are with you; and recognise well, under your light caricature, the outlines of a right true picture, which has often made me sad and grim in late years. Yes, I consider that the "Battle of Freedom and Slavery" is very far from ended; and that the fate of poor "Freedom" in the quarrel is very questionable indeed!10 Alas, there is but one Slavery, as I wrote somewhere;11 and that, I think, is mounting towards a height, which may bring strokes to bear upon it again! Meanwhile, patience; for us there is nothing else appointed.— Tell me, however, what has become of your Book on England?12 We shall really be obliged to you for that. A piece of it went thro' all the Newspapers, some years ago;13 which was really unique for its quaint kindly insight, humour and other qualities; like an etching by Hollar or Dürer,14 amid the continents of vile smearing which are called "pictures" at present. Come on, come on; give us the Book, and don't loiter!—
Miss Bacon has fled away to St. Albans (the Great Bacon's place) 5 or 6 months ago, and is there working out her Shakspeare Problem, from the depths of her own mind, disdainful apparently, or desperate and careless, of all evidence from Museums or Archives; I have not had an answer from her since before Christmas, and have now lost her address.15 Poor Lady: I sometimes silently wish she were safe home again; for truly there can no madder enterprise than her present one be well figured.— Adieu, my Friend; I must stop short here. Write soon, if you have any charity. Good be with you ever
T. Carlyle

Windows Phone 8 Development on Mac - All the Gotchas
After failing with my attempts to kickstart my Windows 8 development I decided to give Windows Phone 8 a try. Creating Windows 8 Developer account was straight forward compared to the Windows 8 experience however setting up the development environment on my Mac turned out to be painful. I will save you all the steps, which involved reinstalling Mountain Lion, setting up Bootcamp partition, installing Parallels etc. and resulted in few dosens screenshots with errors and exceptions in Visual Studio. Let's get straight to the point.
Is your machine ready for Windows Phone 8 development?
First of all, if you want to do Windows Phone 8 development (the same is true for Windows 8 development), you need a Windows 8 machine. In all fairness this is no different than iOS development... however there are the gotchas below :)
One of the most important things that you need when you do device development is the Emulator. If you don't want to spend all your money buying every possible Windows Phone the Emulator will be your solution for testing. Now, the problem with Windows 8 Phone development is that the Emulator uses the Hypervisor build into Windows 8. However in order to run Windows 8 Hypervisor your development machine (actually the CPU in your machine) needs to support SLAT. If you need more details you can go check Wikipedia's article about SLAT but briefly it is a new virtualization technology available in the modern CPUs.
Here are the official requirements for Windows Phone 8 SDK posted by Microsoft.
If you are like me and you bought your Mac awhile ago it may not be equipped with a "modern" CPU. Here are the steps you can use to check whether you will be able to run Windows Phone 8 Emulator on your Mac:
- Install Windows on your Mac
If you have Windows already running on it it is fine. Doesn't need to be Windows 8, Windows 7 will work just fine. You can use Parallels or Bootcamp or whatever else you want. The sole purpose of this step is to have a way to run the program from Step #2.
- Download Coreinfo
Coreinfo is a small program written by Mark Russinovich that checks low level hardware components.
- Run Coreinfo and check the output
Here is the interesting part. If you have older Intel based Mac (or Macbook Pro like me) your machine may be equipped with Core 2 Duo processor that doesn't support SLAT. General rule is that Intel i-processors support SLAT while everything before that doesn't. Wikipedia has a good list of all Mac models and their CPUs.
For me here is how the output from Coreinfo looked:
I have Core2 Duo P8600 and although it supports hardware virtualization I wasn't able to run Windows Phone 8 Emulator (as well as the Hyper-V in Windows 8). Interesting though Windows 8 Simulator runs fine although I thought is is based on the Hyper-V too. The best I managed to achieve was the following:
Interestingly before upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion I was able to at least see the designer working. Now this is gone though.
Should you use Parallels or Bootcamp?
If your Mac passed the CPU test the answer on this question is quite simple - you must use Bootcamp (or at least for now).The reason is that Microsoft Hyper-V doesn't run in virtualized environment hence your only option is to have Windows 8 installed on a separate partition using Bootcamp.
My personal opinion is that the approach Microsoft took (again) will prevent some of the potential developers to start development for Windows Phone 8 (and Windows 8) as you can see from the following articles and blog posts:
Developers praise Windows Phone 8 SDK, but virtualization and upgrades rankle
Windows Phone 8 SDK what a Big Time Flop
Windows Phone 8 Emulator on MacBook Pro – No SLAT
There are two articles that I found explaining how you can use VMWare Fusion to run Windows 8 on your Mac. I doubt it will be successful if your machine doesn't have SLAT support but maybe it is worth looking into them:
Good luck with your Windows (Phone) 8 development :)

I work in document control and have a large number of documents saved in one folder, that folder also contains a folder called "old".
What I need to do is filter through the 1000's of documents in the main folder and place old revisions into the old folder (cut, not copy!). Is it possible to do this using a
CMD Command?
My documents all have the same name structure:
xxx_01.pdf for revision 01
xxx_02.pdf for revision 02 etc (the format is not exclusively pdf).

The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company continues its excellent season with a remarkable remake of the classic Shakespeare tale Henry IV parts 1 & 2 currently running until April 19, 2014. They will entice you and draw you in with adventure will captivate your mind with piercing family drama between father and son, outrageous comedy, mayhem, and intense battle scenes.
The story starts with Henry IV removing Richard II from his throne. Richard II was an evil and bad king, and Henry was championed for by nobles and people for deposing him. However, the country is thrown into chaos and disorder, as challenges to his authority arise and the country is on the edge of a civil war.
Meanwhile, the King's son Prince Hal has no concern for the affairs of state in the beginning, or family honor. He is more concerned enjoying life. He spends much of his time carousing, with the questionable knight called Sir John Falstaff and his loyal band of followers. They get drunk, spend time in the brothels, pull pranks and take what they want. The King chastises his son for this behavior, and not talking responsibility for his position in the family and being an heir to the throne.
Prince Harry (Hal) is loyal when the chips are down and heads back home to support the family and the crown. The King still questions Harry his loyalty and intent.
Justin McCombs was incredible as Prince Hal he displayed a wide range of acting skills, including comedy, sincerity and boldness. He is now in his 4th year at the CSC. Some of his favorite roles have been in Pride and Prejudice as Mr. Bingley, Tom Joan in The Grapes of Wrath, and Konstantin in The Seagull.
Jim Hopkins did an extremely spirited performance as King Henry IV, he was stern, and believable. Jim has been involved in many of CSC successful shows, including Romeo, Dracula, Pride and Prejudice, and The Importance of Being Earnest.
Matthew Lewis Johnson as Sir John Falstaff was remarkable. He was witty, humorous, captivating, as I watched to see what shenanigans the character would do next. Matthew has performed in over 50 roles at the CSC over the years, including performances in Hamlet, Marc Anthony, and Lear's Fool. He is also an award-winning playwright, designer, and puppeteer.
Henry IV Parts I and 2 was highly entertaining to watch and I highly recommend. More information this show is available at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's website at: www.cincyshakes.com
