The year-end budget report for the 2011-12 school year continued difficult financial news in the Medical Lake School District.
The district saw its revenues decrease by $1.5 million from 2010-11, although almost all of the decrease came from the end of federal stimulus money and Impact Aid reductions. A drop of 88 FTE students, however, proved to be another struggle. Last year, the district recorded 1,805 students, including those taking part in the Running Start program.
At the Tuesday, Oct. 23 school board meeting, business manager Don Johnson said a $499,000 drop in the general fund bal...

Here is a recap of recent Hudson news. On the plugin front, Kohsuke reports on Plugins for .Net, including for NAnt, MSBuild, NSUnit and FxCop. It will be interesting to see if the MS community is ready for a Java-based CI tool...
I also did my usual pass to collect testimonials:
• Shawn Harstock on his methodology using Fit + Groovy + Hudson,
Hudson wins in pretty much all the references where I've seen it considered; usually with extremely positive evaluations.
Also Hudson is now a Top Java.Net, being #2 in mail traffic, #2 in CVS commits, and #8 in absolute hits. Way to go, Kohsuke!

Softball Rallies For 5-2 Victory Over UW-Green Bay
April 18, 2004
Chicago, Ill. - Sophomore Nicole Shepard's two-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning proved to be the difference as the UIC softball team battled from behind to pull out a 5-2 victory over UW-Green Bay on Sunday afternoon at Flames Field.
UIC took two-out-of-three in the series and remains in first place in the Horizon League with a 7-1 mark, 22-19 overall. The Phoenix, meanwhile, drop to 3-5 in league play and now own a 6-19 overall mark this season.
Senior Alison Aguilar picked up the win for the Flames, going the distance to earn her seventh win of the year. She allowed just four hits and a pair of unearned runs while striking out four.
Stephanie Hansen was tagged with the loss for UWGB and is now 1-8 on the season.
Aguilar pitched her way in and out of jams early on, stranding runners in scoring position in each of the first three innings.
The Flames squandered a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the fourth inning when Kathleen Mixan appeared to tag up and score on a line out to left field. The Phoenix appealed the play, though, and Mixan was ruled out for leaving early.
UW-Green Bay finally broke through on the scoreboard in the top of the fifth inning, capitalizing on a UIC error to take a 2-0 lead. Catcher Kate Sullivan struck the decisive blow with a two-out, two-run single through the left side of the infield.
The Flames would cut the lead in half in the bottom half of the frame as sophomore Joyce Cathey plated Elizabeth Jacoby with her team-high sixth triple of the season.
UIC would pull ahead in the bottom of the sixth inning on a two-run double by Nicole Shepard.
UW-Green Bay went to reliever Lisa Meissner to open the frame and she surrendered a single to Sara Hernandez. The Phoenix then went back to starter Stephanie Hansen, but the junior struggled to regain her control.
After a wild pitch advanced pinch-runner Jennifer Ruesnow to second, Hansen walked Rivera. Another wild pitch put runners on second and third for Shepard, who delivered the game-breaking double.
Shepard would later advance to third on Hansen's third wild pitch of the frame and would later score on a passed ball for a 4-2 UIC lead. Senior Emily Stoddard would drive in the fifth run off reliever Kristin Kosobucki with an infield single.
Junior Cameron Astiazaran extended her career-best hitting streak to 17 games with an infield single in the bottom of the third inning.
The Flames will be back in action tomorrow when they host Valparaiso in a non-conference doubleheader at 4:00 p.m.

The Community Pet Project is an upstate South Carolina community located in Simpsonville. Today has been spent brainstorming by TCCP, with their goal being to bring outdoor dogs inside where it's warm. Their Facebook page reported January 8 on the idea of grooming dogs so they'll be clean enough to bring inside.
Grooming is part of The Community Pet Project's mission, which states
"To provide pet food, emergency medical care, and essential grooming to pets belonging to Pet Owners, who cannot afford these crucial services in hard times."
This week upstate South Carolina, as well as most of the midwest and northeast, has experienced record breaking cold(and dangerous) temperatures.
The grooming project will involve licensed dog groomers and volunteers in the upstate area who are willing to offer their services either at a low cost or free to those pet parents willing to bring their pets inside after being groomed.
This is a great idea, because many dog owner's would allow their dogs to come inside if they were groomed. It also takes a lot of worry off the owner, as tales of frozen dogs are being reported around the United States on a daily basis right now.
Volunteers are needed for this project, in addition to licensed groomers. If you wish to offer your time to this project, as a groomer or to help bathe and treat the dogs, please contact The Community Pet Project here. Be sure to specify whether you're a professional or just want to assist.

The Result by CactusLuvWatch
©2014-2016 CactusLuv
Okay yay I finally finished! This was done for the Dreamtalia contest which the theme was horror.
Now no one else seems to be scared by this, but the fact that when you first see Russia in the dream world, he doesn't respond for a few moments.
I may be reading too much into that, but I am imagining that is some wicked foreshadowing. The whole blood aspect and turning dark was from a sketch on the official deamtalia page where it showed a concept of italy losing his eyes and being taken over by the Dream Eater.
Took forever since I found out about the contest late. Hahaha luckily I'm on the West coast so I got a bit more time (I hope)

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Wilson, Nancy
Singer Nancy Wilson came into her own voice on discs for Capitol and Blue Note in the early 1960s, with a youthful joy and agility that appealed to a wide range of listeners, not only jazz fans. But her jazz roots run deep, and since the 1990s she has rededicated herself to the genre, both as a performer and as a broadcaster.
Nancy Wilson was born in 1937 in Chillicothe, Ohio, a medium-sized town that was once a stop on the Underground Railroad. One of six children, her father was a foundry worker, and her mother cleaned houses.
Wilson has claimed she knew she wanted to be a singer by age four, and she began learning her craft by listening to records in her father's collection and singing in church choirs. Of the singers she listened to as a child, she has cited Ruth Brown, Nat "King" Cole, Billy Eckstine, Dinah Washington and Little Jimmy Scott as early influences.
Wilson's family moved to nearby Columbus when she was in her teens, and this larger city expanded her musical world. At fifteen, Wilson won first prize in a talent contest, which earned her a television show of her own called Skyline Melodies, for which she sang pop tunes by telephone request.
Even as she enjoyed this early success as a singer, Wilson had a backup plan to become a teacher, and enrolled at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, one of the first historically Black colleges in the United States. But in 1956, after one year of college, she dropped to go on the road with saxophonist Rusty Bryant's Carolyn Club Big Band. While in New York with the band, she got a chance to sit in with Julian "Cannonball" Adderley after meeting him at a recording session.
Adderley was impressed with Wilson's talent and encouraged the young singer to move away from pop and towards a more sophisticated jazz style. In 1959, Wilson left Bryant's band and moved to New York, where she was soon filling in for vocalist Irene Reid at the Blue Morocco club. An introduction from Adderley led her to a contract with Capitol, which launched her career in a big way.
Wilson's musical output is prodigious by any standard, encompassing over 70 albums. The first of these, Like in Love, featured Willie Smith on alto saxophone, and the tracks included Billy Strayhorn's "Passion Flower" and Ahmad Jamal's "Night Mist."
In 1962, Wilson joined Adderley for a record that remains a highlight of her career. Wilson's exuberant duet with Adderley on the "guy's song" "Never Will I Marry," which Anthony Perkins first sang in the Broadway show Greenwillow, is a standout. "Guess Who I Saw Today" is a dramatic one-two punch of a song about a cheating husband. It became Wilson's first hit single and remains her signature song and a karaoke favorite around the world.
Despite Adderley's encouragement towards jazz, Wilson's subsequent recordings mined her appeal to broader audiences. A rhythm 'n' blues album, How Glad I Am, released in 1964, earned her the first of her three Grammys, and she enjoyed commercial success in an era when the well seemed to have run dry for many jazz musicians.
While the audience for jazz dwindled precipitously after the Beatles arrived in America in 1963, Wilson was a headliner in Las Vegas in the same venues as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. Her records were among Capitol's best-sellers, and her television appearances were growing in number. By the mid-sixties, she had her own variety show on NBC, which earned her an Emmy for the 1967-68 season.
While some jazz purists viewed this kind of commercial success with a jaundiced eye, it should be remembered that Wilson never abandoned her love for jazz. Because of her ability to produce quality recordings very quickly, she covered a lot of ground in a short period of time, and many of these recordings count as classic jazz vocal performances.
On "Midnight Sun," from Wilson's 1967 album Lush Life, she enhances Johnny Mercer's word-painting lyricism with her own dramatic delivery. Wilson also had the ability to invigorate shopworn pop songs like "Can't Take My Eyes off You" and bring them closer to jazz territory.
Wilson's remarkable success at an early age, however, had its downside. In 1970, Wilson divorced drummer Kenny Dennis, with whom she had a son, after ten years of marriage and married Reverend Wiley Burton, with whom she had two daughters, Samantha, and Sheryl.
She chose to cut back her professional appearances while she raised her children and kept this promise, although she continued to perform on a smaller scale, mostly overseas. The family made their home in a small California desert town called Pioneerville. Wilson's version of Jerome Kern's classic "Folks Who Live on the Hill" provides a picture of the life she strove to live at that time. On her Live in Las Vegas album she commented about those "folks" as she closed the song: "They're called the Burtons."
In the 1980s, Wilson recorded mostly for Japanese labels because she was unhappy with the technical "enhancements" of American recordings at that time, and she was not afraid to voice opinion on this and other matters. In an interview for the Palm Springs Life magazine, she said, "When we were recording those Capitol albums, all of the musicians were in the same room playing…Now you record all by yourself with headphones on."
In the 1990s, Wilson rededicated herself to jazz, and became something of an ambassador for jazz. In 1998 she was chosen to host Jazz Profiles, a nationally syndicated show on National Public Radio, which profiled a long list of jazz greats including a few interesting surprises, like Ella Fitzgerald's accompanist, Ellis Larkins. Wilson also hosted a biographical television special called Forever Ella for the Arts and Entertainment network.
In the new millennium, Wilson released two Grammy-winning jazz albums, in 2005 and 2007, and celebrated her seventieth birthday in 2007 with an extravaganza at the Hollywood Bowl that was hosted hosted by Arsenio Hall and featured performances by Ramsey Lewis and Natalie Cole. But in 2009 she suffered a collapsed lung that forced her to cancel an upcoming concert. She now considers herself "semi-retired."

And I'm out
As you know by now, True/Slant has been bought by Forbes and is about to close shop. So, this will be my last post here. A big thanks to everyone who has stopped by this page regularly, occasionally, or just once. Thanks also to Michael, Coates and Lewis for the great opportunity to have had a blog here.
True/Slant was founded on the innovative idea that writers thrive when left to their own devices, and are paid while at it — that premises are important and perspectives are valuable. It's a model that worked perfectly for me, and I've thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated being a part of this community.
I hope you'll continue to read my work on Raw Story, The Guardian, Washington Independent, and Huffington Post. It's all available at my website, http://sahilkapur.wordpress.com. Keep in touch on Twitter and Facebook.

Officials at the Chinese Ministry of Education office shun genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for themselves, yet allow them to be served to the schoolchildren for whom they are responsible.
The sign in the accompanying photo hangs in the corridor of the Ministry of Education building in Beijing. It begins, "Our Canteen Does Not Use Food Containing GM Ingredients." It further states, "The issue of whether GM food is harmful to human health is currently without consensus within academia. GM food has only appeared [in China] for a short period making it very difficult at present to appropriately assess it's impact on long-term safety. Further research and longer time is required for verification. To eliminate the concerns of diners, and to assure the safety and health of our staff members, our Ministry of Education Office Canteen temporarily will not use food oil containing GM ingredients and GM food materials. Please enjoy your food without any such concern."
At first glance this would seem to be great news. Until you know the rest of the story.
August 2006: Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau led in issuing the instruction to "investigate middle schools, primary schools, and kindergartens within the jurisdiction. If they are using GM food oil, then immediately cease."
May 6, 2010: Wulumuqi Education Bureau, the Health Bureau and the Food & Drugs Administration Bureau jointly issued a document requesting that the canteens of all middle and primary schools "forbid the purchase of GM food oil."
December 2010: It was revealed that the kindergarten of the Ministry of Agriculture "uses non-GM food oil."
February 21, 2011: Shandong Province Anqiu Education Bureau and the Food & Drug Administration Bureau issued an instruction document requesting the canteens of all schools "forbid purchasing GM food oil."
August 2011: Qingdao Food & Drug Administration Bureau publicly announced that "school canteens, student food processing and supply companies are requested to use non-GM food oil."
Summary to date: Education bureaus in three Chinese provinces, Hangzhou, Wulumuqi, and Shangdong, all had issued instruction documents to ban canteens of schools in their regions from purchasing GM food oil and one (Qingdao) had made a request. The Ministry of Agriculture does not use GM oil products in their kindergarten.
September 28, 2011: Ministry of Agriculture office issued an "official letter" to the Ministry of Education office requesting them to take measures to stop the trend of local education bureaus banning the purchase of GM food in the canteens of schools in their regions. When citizens of Beijing applied to the Ministry of Agriculture requesting publication of this letter, the Ministry of Agriculture responded (August 2012) that the letter is "confidential" and refused to make it public.
October 10, 2011: Beijing Municipal Education Committee writes a letter responding to the Ministry of Agriculture admitting that the Ministry of Education lacks authority over the matter. Because it is legal to sell and purchase GM food, "the municipal education commission is not a department in charge of food and has no right to forbid schools and nutrition meal processing enterprises to use GM soybean oil." They promised to meet with the offending parties and correct their mistake.
December 28, 2011: Parents in Beijing submitted a letter of protest to the Beijing Municipal Food Safety Office stating in part, "Youth and childhood is the critical growth period of physical development. Food consumption, besides supplying energy and nutrition for physical and mental activities, is mainly consumed to supply nutrition for physical development. Thus, food safety has an essential and significant difference for youngsters and children compared with adults."
January 9, 2011: Parents in Beijing invited experts and media to attend the "Symposium on Lunch Meal Food Safety for Students in Beijing." Discussions were held on the safety of the Lanqing Brazilian GM soybean oil. They requested the Ministry of Education to "learn from the example established by the kindergarten of the Ministry of Agriculture and completely remove the above mentioned GM soybean oil and other GM ingredients from lunch meals provided to middle and primary school students in Beijing, enabling students at all schools, like the children at the kindergarten of the Ministry of Agriculture, to enjoy safe lunch meals every day without concern from their parents!"
March 12, 2012: Representatives of parents visited the Ministry of Education to report their concerns to the leaders of the Development Deptartnemt of the ministry. They requested that GM oil be banned from the canteens of universities, middle schools and primary schools, but were informed that "difficulty exists."
They are still serving GM food in school cafeterias in China. Bans on GM food in school cafeterias were blocked by the Chinese Minsitry of Agriculture, which does not serve GM food in it's own kindergarten. And now the Chinese Ministry of Education proudly proclaims that they do not serve GM food in their office canteen so that we can enjoy eating there without concern. Still, they are ahead of us here in the United States.

I've had my Theis holster for awhile, just waiting for the gun! I think my LGS should have it by tomorrow or Tues at the latest (Bersa BP9CC).

I've had my Theis holster for awhile, just waiting for the gun! I think my LGS should have it by tomorrow or Tues at the latest (Bersa BP9CC).
As to Red's comment, the maker may have shifter some liability for a manufacturing defect (in this case a claim of negligent assembly) but not a design defect.
Back to topic , liability is a different subject.
Another thumbs up for Theis holsters, very satisfied with my IWB holster for a ruger lc9 and also his belt. Been using both every day for a few months now. It squeaked for maybe the first two weeks but after that it was broken in and hasn't made a noise since. Didn't sound much different than a squeaky pair of shoes so the little bit of noise at first didn't bother me.
Just ordered an OWB from him on the 28th and it was shipped on the 3rd, impressive turnaround time especially considering there was a holiday in there!
I tried my BP9CC with the Theis holster today it's a great fit! It's very new & tight right now; I can barely get it out of the holster! But better a tad to tight than too loose since it will probably loosen as it breaks in.
Hello, figured I'd touch base and give a little report after wearing the Theis holster every day for about three weeks. I loved it the first time I wore it, and I like it more now:smile:
It has completely stopped creaking, is contoured perfectly to me, and retention is perfect again after a little attention with a hairdryer (retention loosened up a bit as the leather stretched and molded around the pistol.) Again, this holster is made in the USA, is very fairly priced, and was delivered ahead of schedule :congrats:
Here are some pics, please forgive any awkward angles, as they were taken with my phone, and I'm a lousy photographer. And before anyone asks, yes, I'm wearing two t-shirts that are the exact same color, just a weird thing I do:embarassed:
Attachment 67243Attachment 67244Attachment 67245Attachment 67246Attachment 67247Attachment 67248
Oh, and what looks like brown fuzz on the second to last pic is actually a felt Dot with an adhesive backing, I've placed a few on the inside of the kydex for a really perfect fit :danceban:
Wrapping up, I love my Theis holster, have recommended it to 3 of my buddies already, and highly recommend it to anyone else.
There's only one minor issue I have with mine right now...my winter coat! By that I mean a winter coat of blubber.:redface: I've put on a bit of winter flab that my holster likes to dig into a bit. But it gets more comfortable as it breaks in (the holster, not the flab!:danceban:). Overall I like the Theis! Now I just need to suck it up and pick up a good mag holder. I dropped $70 each on two nice gun belts and the $65 on the Theis in horsehide, but then cheaped out and bought a $12 Gote IWB double mag pouch. It's really not all that comfortable. I'll have to bite the bullet and get a good one from Tommy.
I currently carry a ppk, but I've been thinking I might like to carry my 1911 sometimes. The two holsters that I'm interested in are the Crossbreed and the Theis. I've heard nothing but great things about the Theis. Anyone here use one with a 1911 Gvt., and is it comfortable and concealable?
I've been using a Tommy Theis with a G26 for about a year. It creaked a little when it was new but it stopped before I got around to doing anything about it. The retention isn't as tight as it was when I first got it but its still pretty good. I think I remember him telling me that I could tighten it with a hot wet towel or something but it's not loose enough for me to look into that yet either. That type of holster can be a little cumbersome to put on in a hurry but it's worth an extra few moments for the comfort and concealability they provide. I'm happy I got the kydex hooks also. I've seen 2 guys scratch their cars with the metal hooks on their cross breeds.

Music is an important part of video games. No matter how much video games evolve graphically (yet still share the main objectives of "Don't die" and "Kill the other guy"), they'll still need quality video game music to establish the intended mood or bring up emotions that graphics alone simply cannot convey. Imagine playing "Super Mario Bros" without that jaunty tune. That adventurous run through each level would be a tedious march from the left side of the screen to the right.
Bay Area composer Dren McDonald has taken several classic & contemporary selections of video game music and turned them into classical sounding themes performed on string quartet in "The String Arcade;" available now on CD or digital download. Listening to the 15 tracks (17 tracks if you order the CD version) is a classical and melodious journey across video game music.
"The String Arcade" takes a pick & mix selection of video games ranging from retro hits like "Galaga" and "Tron Arcade" to nostalgic old school video games like "The Legend of Zelda" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" to today's casual and/or indie games like "Plants vs Zombies" and "Scurvy Scallywags." Some games you will know off the top of your head due to its popularity or your nostalgia. Some will be completely new. In either case, this varied mix of video games gets you thinking about those old an new video games. For example: Upon seeing "Outlaws" on the track list, I wonder why the heck aren't game developers working on a first person Western shooter? It's a great setting for such a game genre.
As with the pick & mix selection of video games, "The String Arcade" music conveys a pick & mix variety of moods and emotions through its use of staccato, scherzo, and other classical music terminology. The string quartet produces a harmonious sound as each song takes you through each listed game. Starting with a springy tune of growth, tension, and eventual zombie rush in "Plants vs Zombies" Grasswalk, the quartet playing in "The String Arcade" plays music reflecting a world of mystery and exploration in Echos of Ecco from "Ecco the Dolphin." The talented musicians with Dren McDonald's compositions are able to effectively capture and interpret the mood that the original video game music produced during their associated video games. Sonic 2 Scherzo feels like a speed run of the Oil Ocean Zone.
PROTIP: Do not listen to "The String Arcade" on your mobile device while the GPS voice navigation is active. Nothing kills the immersion of a classical interpretation of a nostalgic video game theme quicker than "TURN LEFT AT THE INTERSECTION!"
Some of the songs and video games from "The String Arcade" may sound completely new to some peoples ears. But if the music captures the listener's attention, it's enough for him or her to perhaps check out the game that produced such music.
"The String Arcade" is available through iTunes at $7.99 or on CD through BandCamp at $9.99. Proceeds from album sales will benefit the Alameda Music Project. If you like classical music, video games, or a bit of both, "The String Arcade" is a worthy addition to your music collection.
What is your favorite video game music to listen to and what emotion does it convey to you?
"The String Arcade" track list:
- Grasswalk (Plants vs Zombies)
- Echoes of Ecco (Ecco the Dolphin)
- Ferdinand Wanders Out for a Late Night Haircut (Pettington Park)

Mono brings Visual Basic Programming to Linux
Say what you will about Visual Basic, but many people (especially in enterprises) use it for developing applications. Anything that results in more applications on Linux is a good thing. Read the news of the new compiler brought to us by Novell.
"From its inception, the Mono project has focused on creating a development framework that allows .NET software to run across all the leading server and client platforms" stated Miguel de Icaza, vice president of developer platforms at Novell and founder of the Mono project. "The delivery of the Visual Basic compiler is a key step forward in this process. Now, developers do not need any Linux expertise to create applications that will run easily on Linux."

Deidre: "Treasure doll here, giving you a dose a sonic courage to start your morning. A little something to bolster your nerve, help you get through the day because we all get a little lost some times. When all we want is to be found."
"Bottom of the World; Doll Parts" are the August 21 episodes of "Defiance." Warning: this article does contain spoilers. Be sure to check out the slideshow for more quotes from the episode. The two hour season finale of "Defiance" airs next Thursday starting at 7 p.m. CT on Syfy.
Niles and Amanda trapped in the mines turns out to be slightly interesting. Most of the time is spent focusing on what's happening above ground, but there are a couple scenes of our trapped lovebirds, or rather one creepy guy who is in love with the woman he is trapped with. Niles' almost confession is interesting. It shows that he is at least aware that he is one messed up individual. What is weird is that he doesn't come clean to her. If he really wanted her to kill him, confessing everything that he did seems like the best way to make that happen.
Finally there are some answers. What Irisa views as a god guiding her is no more than the artificial intelligence of the alien ship that crashed long ago and is at the bottom of the mines. It's still hard to grasp that a ship could somehow take over people like that, but it seems like this is one of those things where viewers will have to just go with. This could explain why the mission seems to be wiping out the humans and repopulating the Earth. Perhaps this ship is still in war mode and views humans as unworthy or evil or just feels like they should die.
Deidre is murdered. Not gonna lie, the immediate reaction is something along the lines of "finally!" She is not the easiest person to like, mostly due to her manipulation of Christie in order to get Alak. Amanda's flashbacks of Deidre are the one good thing that comes out of Amanda being a deputy. Let's face it, Amanda taking over the job is not all that exciting, especially when there is the confusion that is Irisa and Irzu to try to understand. However, Amanda is able to show viewers the human side of Deidre, who is a woman in love. Yes, she is still delusional, but Amanda's flashback show her to be a sweet person.
Irisa's rant to Nolan is a little confusing and very heartbreaking. Perhaps it is there to show that Irisa is losing control of herself or being manipulated a lot more. Another possibility is that she is trying to get Nolan to leave her alone, so he doesn't get hurt. The scene where Irisa refuses to kill Nolan shows that she is in there somewhere, but it means that she is very aware of the fact that she just stabbed Tommy. It's hard to understand how Irisa is being affected. What's your theory on Irisa?
Here are some thoughts on elsewhere in the episode. There is still some confusion as to what has been happening with her. Pilar seems like a big mystery to unravel in the last couple episodes, especially considering all that is happening with Irisa. This might be terrible to say, but Christie killing Deidre has made her so much more interesting. Christie says that her baby has heightened all of her senses, so it would be interesting to see if there are any other effects. Christie seemed like she didn't know her own strength when she threw Deidre out of the window.

Leave the hibernation up to the bears this winter. Don't complain about the cold but embrace it, living in Minnesota the cold is always a factor in weight gain which it should not be. The fact is that it should be a motivation for everyone; like Rocky training in Russia for his fight against Drago. The truth is you actually burn more calories working in these frigid conditions due to the fact that your body has to keep you warm. I have compiled a list of food for your diet and also exercise options in order to really enjoy life to its fullest. First off do not rely on working out to burn off calories it just doesn't work that way; you have to have a plan. The plan starts with your diet, I'm not talking about crash diets or diet pills that make your heart beat faster and ultimately are unhealthy for you. Eating healthy consists of cutting out those empty calories (empty calories means the calories that do not benefit you in anyway) and portioning out meals.
- Healthy sweets, Supplements, Tea, Healthy herbs/ spices
- Red wine (if legal), other sources of protein, cooked Asian mushrooms
- Fish & seafood, Healthy fats, whole & cracked grains
- Pasta (Al Dente), Beans & Legumes, Fruits & Vegetables
- whole soy foods (soy nuts, tofu, tempeh, soy milk) 1-2 servings per day
- Fiber(nuts, whole grain breads)
Exercise is crucial to live a full and productive life; I am not saying you have to stop watching TV and become a total outdoorsman but a good tool to use is DVR, so you don't have to wait around for your favorite shows to be on.
My exercise routine can benefit any person young or old doesn't matter. Again I have compiled a list of activities you can do in order to build muscle and burn fat. You can use this information in a more strenuous fashion if you feel motivated because what I am going to recommend is merely the basics of exercise.
- STRETCH in the morning before you get ready for your day and go for a walk if time allows
- Walk as far as possible whenever possible (such as going to the grocery story or going to work)
- Walk or jog an hour after eating dinner; this not only helps you digest food more easily, but it also helps your metabolism speed up in a significant way.
- Warm up for 5-10 minutes before you work out such as (jumping jacks, jogging in place, pushups)
- Weights are a great way to build muscle, yet not everyone has a gym to go to. In order to combat this lack of equipment; pushups are a great way to build muscle (3 sets of 20 reps) or if you are willing to challenge yourself (4 sets of 25 reps) and on the last set max reps can benefit tremendously.
- Sit ups(3 sets of 30) and planks(30 second intervals) to strengthen your core midsection
- Last but absolutely not least after a minimum hour work out a cool down is recommended (walk outside for about a half hour) than stretch out the muscles that you have just worked out
Again this is only a minor list; I am fully open to questions in order to help anyone benefit their lives by exercise and eating right. I am not just writing things down to write them, I myself have fallen into bad habits before but have gotten the motivation to lose 20lbs and I would love to motivate anyone who would like to benefit from my advice.

If users with IE8 go directly to www.xyz.com, SSL cert is fine. Users going directly to www.zyx.com have no issues with cert. If users start at one site and go to the other, they get invalid cert with xyz being used on zyx which should not be happening.
Reading the forums NGINX has SNI enabled and I have the correct version of OpenSSL to be able to handle multiple certs.
IE8 seems to be the issue but these are customer facing sites. Is there a fix to make NGINX work for the customers experiencing the issue.

College Hockey:North Dakota's Knight has 'unlawful delivery' charge dropped

Knight was charged with providing alcohol to underage individuals at a team party in September.
Also, it was reported that North Dakota teammates Danny Kristo, Carter Rowney, Joe Gleason and Andrew MacWilliam changed their plea to guilty for the same charge.

Portugal (POR)
The past
It has been a case of diminishing returns for the talented Portuguese at the last three FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup finals. In 2005 a thrilling penalty-shootout win over hosts Brazil in the semis was followed by a spot-kick defeat to France in the Final. The Lusitanians checked into the last four again the following year only to lose 7-4 to the Auriverdes and then go down 6-4 to the French in the match for third place. And the 2007 event saw Madjer and his cohorts bow out at the quarter-final stage following a memorable 10-7 loss to holders and eventual winners Brazil.
The present
Armed with the most potent strike force at the European qualifying tournament in Benidorm, Portugal racked up 45 goals in seven games to coast through to the finals in Marseille. That said, Ze Miguel's men once again came up short on the big occasion, succumbing 4-3 to their Spanish hosts in the final. It goes without saying, though, that the Portuguese will once again be in the frame come the main event in July.
The future
For the best part of three seasons now Portugal have lacked strength in depth. Pointing to a shortage of talent outside the starting five, coach Ze Miguel has spoken of the difficulties he faces in turning the situation around. Even so, new faces such as Alvaro, Sousa, Tiago and Bilro are continuing to progress.
Former stars
Jonas (2005), Andrezinho (2006), Ricardo Loja (2007)
Key players
Hernani (defender), Alan (midfielder), Belchior (forward), Madjer (forward)
Qualifying statistics
The Selecção das Quinas won their opening six matches in Benidorm before tripping up in the final. Over the course of the tournament they notched an average of 6.43 goals a game, while conceding just 12.
The numbers game
44: The age of veteran skipper Hernani, an institution in the global game.

|An Algebraic Exploration of Dominating Sets and Vizing's Conjecture
|Applied Algebra and Network Theory Seminar
|Susan Margulies, Penn State
|Systems of polynomial equations are commonly used to model combinatorial problems such as independent set, graph coloring, Hamiltonian path, etc.. In this talk, we formulate the dominating set problem as a system of polynomial equations, and then illustrate that the universal Grobner basis of this ideal is described by a combinatorial property directly related to dominating sets: mainly, an iteration of the complements of domination-critical graphs. We then present an algebraic formulation of Vizing's conjecture (a central question in domination theory and open since 1968), that involves the union of varieties and thus, the intersection of ideals. We conclude with a brief discussion of the computational ramifications of this formulation.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz received at Al-Salaam Palace in Jeddah yesterday Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and his accompanying delegation. The audience was attended by advisor to the royal court Prince Abdulaziz Ibn Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz, head of the royal court Muhammad Al-Noweiser, and Minister of State Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Manei. During the meeting, bilateral relations were discussed, and the latest developments at the Arab, Islamic and international levels, including developments in the Middle East peace process. President Arafat and his accompanying delegation later met with Crown Prince Abdullah Ibn Abdul Aziz, Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard, and with Prince Sultan Ibn Abdul Aziz, Second Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense and Aviation and Inspector-General.
Following the meeting, Prince Sultan told reporters that President Arafat's optimism regarding the peace process is comforting, adding that there was no concern that the U.S. administration headed by President Bill Clinton would withdraw and give up on its commitment to peace. In response to a question regarding the proposed London meeting and the possibility of giving guarantees for the Palestinians, he expressed the belief that any meeting is open and that guarantees come after signing an agreement.
President Arafat left the Kingdom today after a visit to the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah.

UCLA alumna Sydney Leroux came off the bench to score two second-half goals, and Lauren Cheney added an assist in a starting role as the U.S. Women's National Team defeated the Republic of Ireland, 5-0, on Wednesday night in Portland.
Leroux followed an Alex Morgan hat trick in the first half with two goals of her own in the second. Leroux scored her first in the 62nd minute on a header from six yards back and then added a second in the 81st minute after a nice combination of passes between her, Cheney and Amy Rodriguez. After Rodriguez got the ball to Leroux deep on the left side of the penalty area, Leroux sent a hard shot at Ireland goalkeeper Emma Byrne that went into the net.
The two goals gave Leroux 12 in 2012, all of the bench, extending her U.S. record for most goals as a reserve in a calendar year.
Cheney played the full 90 minutes for the U.S. and assisted on Morgan's second goal in the 34th minute. On the assist, Cheney worked her way through two defenders to turn and face the goal, then played a short pass back to Morgan at the top of the six-yard box. Morgan scored left-footed into the lower left corner.
Former UCLA head coach Jillian Ellis served as interim head coach for the U.S., which is now 4-0-2 on the Fan Tribute Tour. The U.S. and Ireland will meet again on Saturday, Dec. 1 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The match will be televised live on FOX Soccer at 6pm PT.

The new iPad Air 2 (the sixth iPad) is unbelievably skinny. We're talking about 6.1mm, which makes it easy to handle for such a big tablet, but you have to worry about durability. You can add a flourish of personal style to Apple's minimalist design, choose functional elements to enhance your daily use, and make sure it's safe when you sling it in your bag; all it takes is the right case. Here are some of our favorite iPad Air 2 cases. We also have some of the best iPad Air cases available.
Updated on 11-16-2015 by Simon Hill: Reformatted, removed discontinued cases, updated pricing and links, and added cases by Incipio, Zagg, and Brydge.

BrydgeAir Keyboard ($150)
Do you like the idea of transforming your iPad Air or Air 2 into a MacBook? Our main complaint with keyboard cases is the added bulk, but they also tend to be plastic, and they rarely match the style of the iPad. Brydge is a clever keyboard that circumvents the usual issues. It's crafted from premium aluminum, colored to match your iPad finish, and bulk is minimized because your tablet slots into the minimal hinge mechanism, instead of a traditional case. The hinge can rotate 180 degrees, so you can find the right angle for you, and the island keys are well-spaced with good travel and backlighting. To make it even more tempting, you'll find stereo speakers built-in, to give your iPad's audio output a boost. It hooks up via Bluetooth, and boasts up to 3 months use from a single charge, with a Micro USB port to recharge. It's quite heavy, at 520g, but that adds to the MacBook feel, and you know this is a solid, quality piece of kit.
Available at:
Incipio ClamCase Pro ($150)
Recently acquired by Incipio, ClamCase has been making premium keyboard cases for the iPad for a while now. The ClamCase Pro converts your iPad into a laptop, combining an aluminum keyboard with island keys, with a polycarbonate cover that protects the tablet. The hinge rotates through 360 degrees, so you can actually fold the iPad back and the keys are automatically turned off. You can also use this case as a stand to prop the iPad at any angle you desire. The keyboard pairs easily via Bluetooth, and it's roomy and comfortable to type on, with some handy special function keys for things like media controls and Siri. There's a standard Micro USB port for recharging, but you can expect around a month of use before you need to plug it in. It's heavy at around 544g, and the keys aren't backlit, but it's the perfect choice if you want a decent keyboard and solid protection for your iPad Air.
Available at:
Zagg Rugged Book Case ($115)
A keyboard is always going to add some weight and bulk, and this one is heavy, but Zagg has developed a solution to this problem by allowing you to detach the iPad Air in its case from the keyboard portion. The Rugged Book has a full QWERTY keyboard with backlit keys and you can customize the color. They are fairly well-spaced and quite comfortable to type on. The shell case that your iPad goes into combines a soft-padded interior with polycarbonate and steel to really safeguard your tablet. It snaps in and out of the magnetic hinge pretty easily, so you can ditch the keyboard when you don't need it, but your iPad Air 2 remains protected. The outer finish is textured for extra grip and it has a rugged look. You can recharge via the Micro USB port and Zagg claims up to two years of typing battery life. Since you can remove the iPad in its case, you can also insert it in the hinge the other way round, so it can act as a stand or conceal the keyboard.
Available at:
Dodocase Classic Case ($65)
Disguise your iPad Air 2, or iPad Air, as a book with a DodoCase. The Classic cases are handcrafted in San Francisco using Moroccan cloth and an eco-friendly bamboo tray. They are actually made using traditional bookbinding techniques, for a clever blend of old and new. There's a built-in magnet for the auto sleep/wake function, the open case can fold to double up as a stand, and you can personalize each case with a monogram for an extra $10. The elastic closure completes the note book illusion. If you prefer something a bit more colorful, custom cases start at $75.
Available at:
Grovemade Walnut Case ($130)
A beautiful combination of walnut and maple wood really makes this case stand out. The clever design features a rolling cover which can fold back to create the angle you want, and a tough interior that can stand up to knocks and bumps. There's a soft lining to prevent scratches and your iPad Air is held in place by magnets which also work with the automatic sleep/wake function. Lovingly hand-crafted in Portland, Oregon, using natural materials throughout, this is a case you can feel good about buying.

Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are a Spanish group of Islands, known as an Archipelago, which are situated off the northwest coast of Africa.
They are made up of the following islands: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este and Roque del Oeste.
Here you will find some information about the four most popular Islands.
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and has the highest population of almost 910,000. As the main tourist island of the Canaries, it receives over five million visitors every year.
One of the main tourist attractions in Tenerife is Mount Teide, the tallest mountain in Spain and one of the largest volcanoes in the world. Other attractions of the island are its nightlife and party scenes, beach resorts, and the carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
This is the second largest island of the Canaries, and yet has a much lower population of around 86,000 (2005).
Despite its low population, it is a very popular holiday destination and many people visit the island to enjoy its year-long sunshine, beautiful beaches, see the large sand dunes, and take part in its wide variety of watersports available.
İts name translates in English as 'strong winds'.
Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is the second most populated island of the Canary Islands, sitting very close behind Tenerife with approximately 840,000 inhabitants. Although it is relatively high in population, it is smaller in size than Tenerife and Fuerteventura. However, it is also one of the most popular holiday destinations.
İts capital city, Las Palmas, is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Canary İslands, along with Santa Cruz in Tenerife.
One of the most attractive features of Tenerife is that as a holiday destination it offers something for everyone, young and old, families and couples. İt has the typical features of a holiday resort- sun, sea, and sand, but also has beautiful nature to explore, sports to take part in, and a huge golf tradition and culture.
Compared to Tenerife and Gran Canaria, Lanzarote has quite a low population of just over 142,000 inhabitants. Although like Fuerteventura, is also another popular holiday destination. Many people are fascinated by the terrain in Lanzarote, which is often described as very 'lunar', like a scene from a sci-fi film, due to the volcanic eruptions.
Another attraction of Lanzarote is its beautiful white sandy beaches.

Long Haul Flights
Long Haul Flights Different airlines have different definitions on what they consider to be a long haul flight, although generally it is any flight which lasts over 6 hours. This length of time on an aeroplane can become uncomfortable, tiring, and even stressful for travellers. The first thing you should think about when travelling a long distance is your health. Before travelling try to consume a diet which strengthens your immune system as it is easy to pick up illnesses on an aeroplane due to it being completely enclosed and having dry, re-circulated air. When we are busy thinking about travel documents, airport security, making it to the gate on time, we can very easily forget to take care of our essential needs like eating and drinking.
It is especially important to drink lots of water when we fly because the altitude can cause us to become dehydrated. As the flight will be long, make sure you either have plenty water available or that you can acquire water from the on board drink service. Also remember to try to eat a meal when you have the opportunity to do so as you need to keep up your energy levels. Sitting on an aeroplane for any amount of time has the potential to cause health conditions such as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or leg clots because the immobility of our bodies greatly slows down our blood circulation. For this reason it is very important to walk about the cabin as much as possible, and if it isn't possible, to move our legs a lot whilst seated. Long haul flights can severely interfere with our sleep patterns they require us to travel for long periods of time possibly through our usual sleep times. For some people this is not a problem as they find it easy to sleep on a plane or any other mode of transport, but for other people it is almost impossible to sleep whilst travelling no matter how tired they are. This can be because of anything such as noise from other people or the aeroplane engine, the movement of the aircraft, anxiousness about flying, feeling travel sick, being uncomfortable, or simply just because they need a proper bed to sleep in.
There are ways to make sleeping easier on whilst flying, for example, ear plugs to block out noise, an eye mask to block the light, a neck or travel pillow to give you something comfortable to rest your head and support your neck, and a blanket so you aren't affected by the chill of the air conditioning. It is a good idea to take plenty of entertainment with you as you are literally 'in for the long haul'. Many long haul flights have seat-back entertainment systems which means every passenger has their own screen which they can control and switch between movies, TV programs, radio, and games.

Saint Tropez
Saint Tropez
Saint Tropez is a town located in South East France in the French Riviera, in the region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur.
It was mainly a fishing village up until the early years of the 20th Century, and in 1944 was the military landing site of Operation Dragoon, in which Southern France was the target of an Allied invasion.
Saint Tropez is now a glamorous seaside town and host of top hotels, beaches, and nightlife. It is well known for being the "get-away" haven for celebrities, and many people like to visit here just to do a bit of star spotting. The town's main economic resource is from tourism and is well known for Hotel Byblos and Les Caves Du Roy, which have been linked to Brigitte Bardot and Gunter Sachs.
Brigitte Bardot is a French actress who starred in 'And God Created Women' which was set in Saint Tropez. This film was one of the films that helped the town to become internationally renowned as the setting in films.
Some other notable hotels in Saint Tropez are Pan Dei Palais Hotel, Hotel La Ponche, and Pastis Hotel which are all for the more higher end budgets. More medium range hotels are Hotel Le Mouillage, and Hotel B Lodge.
The most popular and well known beach in Saint Tropez is Pampelonne Beach which measures approximately three miles long and in high summer it can accommodate up to 30,000 people a day. It was also the actual landing site of the previously mentioned Operation Dragoon. This beach is quite expensive to hire sun loungers and parasols where you will be looking at a starting price of around 30 euros. If you fancy a sopt of lunch on the beach, don't expect to pay anything less than 50 euros.
Many people like to visit Saint Tropez' other beaches purely because they are less popular, and therefore quieter and more spacious. Some of these beaches are Plage De La Bouillabaisse and Plage des Graniers.
Saint Tropez hosts some of the most exclusive bars and night clubs in Europe, many of them are very difficult to get into unless you are of very high status, famous, or have close connections. If you do manage to get in, then again they can be very expensive. Some of these places are Les Caves Du Roy, VIP Room, Papagayo, and Chez Maggy.
In terms of activities in Saint Tropez, the options are fairly limited. However, many people like to watch the luxury and millionaire yachts coming into port, visit the old village, or visit an art gallery, which gives a taste of the town's artistic culture and history.

Manchester is a city which is situated in the North West of England. The city developed as an urban area during the industrial revolution when there was a boom in textile manufacturing. It became the world's first industrialised city. It was first granted city status in 1853 after it had a large increase in factories and mills. In 1877 the Manchester Ship Canal opened, which at the time was the world's longest river navigation canal.
Industrialism decreased in Manchester after World War 2 which in turn decreased its fortunes. However a lot of investment was put into the city to regenerate it after the 1996 IRA bombing. If you enter the city now, you will notice a contrast in old and new buildings, the former being the survivors of the bomb and the latter being the transformation of the city.
You can explore the history of Manchester in the city itself, by visiting its popular museums such as the Museum of Science and Industry, the Museum of Transport, The Manchester Museum, and in Trafford, a neighbouring borough, is the Imperial War Museum North.
Today, the city of Manchester has a population of just over 512,000, but it is part of the larger area of Greater Manchester, which has a population of over two and a half million.
It is noted recognised globally for a number of concepts including its architecture, for example the Manchester Town Hall is considered to be one of the most important Victorian buildings in the world and it is built with gothic architecture, its music culture, as it is home to some of the world's most notable musicians including The Courteeners and Oasis, its media connections, scientific and engineering output, and even more famously, it's sporting connections, in particular Manchester United Football Club.
The high streets in the city centre are always full of shoppers as it has an extensive array of high street and designer shops, as well as the Arndale Shopping Centre and food court. The print works is another unique place in Manchester which holds some of the city's most popular bars and restaurants, and the Odeon cinema.
From mid-november, the Manchester Christmas markets begin in which stall holders from all over the world come to sell their produce, handmade crafts, unique items, and local cuisine. There are cooked sausages from Germany available, beer tents, mulled wine stalls, and many more which make these markets a unique and very popular experience.

Barceloneta and the Ports
The seafront of Barcelona was completely transformed in 1992 in preparation for the Olympic games. Today it is favoured by tourists for its quirky shops, brilliant nightlife and exquisite dining choices, in particular its vast area of top sea food restaurants.

College Hockey:Mavericks Topple Westerm Michigan
Hoggan, Smith, Wong Each Have Goal, Assist
KALAMAZOO, MICH. — Nebraska-Omaha goaltender Dan Ellis made 26 saves on the evening, while Andrew Wong, Jeff Hoggan, and Aaron Smith each registered a goal and an assist to lead the No. 6 Mavericks to a 4-1 victory over Western Michigan.
WMU head coach Jim Culhane knows that shot totals aren't indicative of the game.
"You got to get some quality shots though," said Culhane. "We talked about that before the game and all week long. Danny Ellis is such a good player for them in net that shooting stuff from the perimeter on the outside, he's going to save [them].
"We shot from the outside. It's almost like playing catch with the first baseman."
Hoggan scored the game-winning goal while shorthanded at 12:11 in the second period while Smith cemented the win with an empty net goal with one second remaining in the game. WMU freshman goaltender Mike Mantua struggled on the evening, allowing three goals on 17 shots.
UNO head coach Mike Kemp talked about how Ellis rebounded from a slow start.
"He's been very solid for us after the first two week. Since Colgate, he's been very sound, he's been seeing the puck. Like any team, you rely on your goaltender to carry you, and he's certainly given us the opportunity to win hockey games because of the way he's been playing."
UNO took the lead early at 1:31 when Mantua deflected a weak shot from Wong along the goal line into his own net to put the Mavericks (7-4-0, 4-1-0 CCHA) up 1-0.
The teams exchanged penalties in the second period and freshman Anthony Adams thought he gave the Mavericks a two-goal lead, but referee Kevin Hall called off the goal after Adams kicked it past Mantua.
UNO made up for that call after junior Kyle O'Keefe was penalized for hooking when Hoggan deflected in a shot shorthanded from freshman Dan Hacker after a WMU turnover to give the Mavericks the lead 2-0 at 12:11 in the second period.
The Broncos (3-4-2, 2-4-1 CCHA) cut the lead in half at 7:46 on the power play when freshman Pat Dwyer wristed a rebound from sophomore Mike Jarmuth past a grounded Ellis from the left face off circle.
Adams wouldn't be denied on his second goal when he trickled a shot past Mantua at 11:03 to give the Mavericks another two-goal lead at 3-1.
Smith iced the game at 19:59 after taking a pass from Shane Glover and put the puck in an empty WMU net to bring the game to it's final score of 4-1. Shots finished in favor of the Broncos, 27-18.
Kemp wasn't completely satisfied with UNO's performance.
"You talk about greasy wins, this was one of those greasy wins. It doesn't matter how you win, it's just a matter of fact that you do win. We won ugly tonight."
Kemp also gave credit to the defensive play.
"[WMU] does a great job clogging up the neutral ice, and when they did a great job clogging up the neutral ice. We were not able to get the puck into the offensive zone."
The two teams face off again Saturday, 7:05 p.m. at Lawson Ice Arena in Kalamazoo.
